Viaje de Jacob a Parán Aram
28 Isaac llamó a Jacob, lo bendijo y le ordenó:
— No te cases con una mujer cananea. 2 Vete ahora mismo a Parán Aram, a casa de Betuel, tu abuelo materno, y cásate allí con una de las hijas de tu tío Labán. 3 Que el Todopoderoso te bendiga y te haga crecer y multiplicarte hasta llegar a ser una muchedumbre de tribus. 4 Qué él te conceda la bendición de Abrahán a ti y a tus descendientes, y llegues a poseer la tierra en la que vives como extranjero, la que Dios entregó a Abrahán.
5 Isaac, pues, despidió a Jacob, y este se fue a Parán Aram, a casa de Labán, hijo del arameo Betuel y hermano de Rebeca, la madre de Jacob y Esaú.
Matrimonio de Esaú con Majalat
6 Esaú había visto cómo Isaac bendecía a Jacob y lo había enviado a Parán Aram para que buscara allí esposa; vio también cómo, al bendecirlo, le había pedido que no se casase con una mujer cananea, 7 por lo que Jacob, obedeciendo a sus padres, había partido hacia Parán Aram. 8 Comprendió, pues, Esaú que las mujeres cananeas desagradaban a su padre Isaac; 9 así que se dirigió a territorio ismaelita y, aunque tenía otras esposas [cananeas], se casó con Majalat, hija de Ismael —el hijo de Abrahán— y hermana de Nebayot.
El sueño de Jacob en Betel
10 Jacob partió de Berseba y se dirigió a Jarán. 11 Cuando el sol se puso, se detuvo a pasar la noche en el lugar donde estaba. Tomó una piedra de las que había por allí, se la puso de cabezal y se acostó en aquel lugar. 12 Y tuvo un sueño: vio una escalinata que, apoyada en tierra, alcanzaba el cielo por el otro extremo. Por ella subían y bajaban los ángeles del Señor. 13 El Señor estaba en pie sobre ella y le decía:
— Yo soy el Señor, el Dios de tu abuelo Abrahán y el Dios de Isaac; yo te daré a ti y a tu descendencia la tierra sobre la que estás acostado. 14 Tu descendencia será tan numerosa como el polvo de la tierra: te extenderás a oriente y a occidente, al norte y al sur. Por ti y tu descendencia todos los pueblos de la tierra serán benditos. 15 Yo estoy contigo; te protegeré adondequiera que vayas y te traeré de vuelta a esta tierra, porque no te abandonaré hasta que haya cumplido lo que te he prometido.
16 Al despertar Jacob de su sueño, pensó:
— ¡Realmente el Señor está en este lugar, y yo no lo sabía!
17 Y añadió aterrorizado:
— ¡Qué lugar más temible es este! ¡Es nada menos que la casa de Dios y la puerta del cielo!
18 A la mañana siguiente Jacob se levantó temprano, tomó la piedra que había usado de cabezal, la erigió como piedra votiva y la consagró ungiéndola con aceite. 19 Y llamó a aquel lugar Betel —es decir, Casa de Dios—. El nombre que anteriormente tenía la ciudad era Luz, pero Jacob le cambió este nombre por el de Betel.
20 Después Jacob hizo esta promesa:
— Si Dios me acompaña y me protege en este viaje que acabo de emprender, si me proporciona alimento para sustentarme y vestido con que cubrirme, 21 y si regreso sano y salvo a la casa de mi padre, entonces el Señor será mi Dios, 22 esta piedra votiva que he erigido será casa de Dios y le daré el diezmo de todo lo que me dé.

28 So Isaac called for Jacob and blessed(A) him. Then he commanded him: “Do not marry a Canaanite woman.(B) 2 Go at once to Paddan Aram,[a](C) to the house of your mother’s father Bethuel.(D) Take a wife for yourself there, from among the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother.(E) 3 May God Almighty[b](F) bless(G) you and make you fruitful(H) and increase your numbers(I) until you become a community of peoples. 4 May he give you and your descendants the blessing given to Abraham,(J) so that you may take possession of the land(K) where you now reside as a foreigner,(L) the land God gave to Abraham.” 5 Then Isaac sent Jacob on his way,(M) and he went to Paddan Aram,(N) to Laban son of Bethuel the Aramean,(O) the brother of Rebekah,(P) who was the mother of Jacob and Esau.
6 Now Esau learned that Isaac had blessed Jacob and had sent him to Paddan Aram to take a wife from there, and that when he blessed him he commanded him, “Do not marry a Canaanite woman,”(Q) 7 and that Jacob had obeyed his father and mother and had gone to Paddan Aram. 8 Esau then realized how displeasing the Canaanite women(R) were to his father Isaac;(S) 9 so he went to Ishmael(T) and married Mahalath, the sister of Nebaioth(U) and daughter of Ishmael son of Abraham, in addition to the wives he already had.(V)
Jacob’s Dream at Bethel
10 Jacob left Beersheba(W) and set out for Harran.(X) 11 When he reached a certain place,(Y) he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head(Z) and lay down to sleep. 12 He had a dream(AA) in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.(AB) 13 There above it[c] stood the Lord,(AC) and he said: “I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac.(AD) I will give you and your descendants the land(AE) on which you are lying.(AF) 14 Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you(AG) will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south.(AH) All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring.[d](AI) 15 I am with you(AJ) and will watch over you(AK) wherever you go,(AL) and I will bring you back to this land.(AM) I will not leave you(AN) until I have done what I have promised you.(AO)”(AP)
16 When Jacob awoke from his sleep,(AQ) he thought, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” 17 He was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place!(AR) This is none other than the house of God;(AS) this is the gate of heaven.”
18 Early the next morning Jacob took the stone he had placed under his head(AT) and set it up as a pillar(AU) and poured oil on top of it.(AV) 19 He called that place Bethel,[e](AW) though the city used to be called Luz.(AX)
20 Then Jacob made a vow,(AY) saying, “If God will be with me and will watch over me(AZ) on this journey I am taking and will give me food to eat and clothes to wear(BA) 21 so that I return safely(BB) to my father’s household,(BC) then the Lord[f] will be my God(BD) 22 and[g] this stone that I have set up as a pillar(BE) will be God’s house,(BF) and of all that you give me I will give you a tenth.(BG)”

King James Version
28 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
2 Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughers of Laban thy mother's brother.
3 And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;
4 And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.
5 And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padanaram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
6 When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padanaram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughers of Canaan;
7 And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padanaram;
8 And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father;
9 Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife.
10 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
11 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.
12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
13 And, behold, the Lord stood above it, and said, I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;
14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
15 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.
16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the Lord is in this place; and I knew it not.
17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
18 And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.
19 And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.
20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
21 So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the Lord be my God:
22 And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
