| 28 | 1 | And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, saying: Take not a wife of the stock of Chanaan: | vocavit itaque Isaac Iacob et benedixit praecepitque ei dicens noli accipere coniugem de genere Chanaan |
| 28 | 2 | But go, and take a journey to Mesopotamia of Syria, to the house of Bathuel, thy mother's father, and take thee a wife thence of the daughters of Laban, thy uncle. | sed vade et proficiscere in Mesopotamiam Syriae ad domum Bathuel patrem matris tuae et accipe tibi inde uxorem de filiabus Laban avunculi tui |
| 28 | 3 | And God almighty bless thee, and make thee to increase and multiply thee: that thou mayst be a multitude of people. | Deus autem omnipotens benedicat tibi et crescere te faciat atque multiplicet ut sis in turbas populorum |
| 28 | 4 | And give the blessings of Araham to thee, and to thy seed after thee: that thou mayst possess the land of thy sojournment, which he promised to thy grandfather. | et det tibi benedictiones Abraham et semini tuo post te ut possideas terram peregrinationis tuae quam pollicitus est avo tuo |
| 28 | 5 | And when Isaac had sent him away, he took his journey and went to Mesopotamia of Syria, to Laban, the son of Bathuel, the Syrian, brother to Rebecca, his mother. | cumque dimisisset eum Isaac profectus venit in Mesopotamiam Syriae ad Laban filium Bathuel Syri fratrem Rebeccae matris suae |
| 28 | 6 | And Esau seeing that his father had blessed Jacob, and had sent him into Mesopotamia of Syria, to marry a wife thence; and that after the blessing he had charged him, saying: Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Chanaan: | videns autem Esau quod benedixisset pater suus Iacob et misisset eum in Mesopotamiam Syriae ut inde uxorem duceret et quod post benedictionem praecepisset ei dicens non accipies coniugem de filiabus Chanaan |
| 28 | 7 | And that Jacob obeying his parents, was gone into Syria: | quodque oboediens Iacob parentibus isset in Syriam |
| 28 | 8 | Experiencing also, that his father was not well pleased with the daughters of Chanaan: | probans quoque quod non libenter aspiceret filias Chanaan pater suus |
| 28 | 9 | He went to Ismael, and took to wife, besides them he had before, Maheleth, the daughter of Ismael, Abraham's son, the sister of Nabajoth. | ivit ad Ismahelem et duxit uxorem absque his quas prius habebat Maeleth filiam Ismahel filii Abraham sororem Nabaioth |
| 28 | 10 | But Jacob being departed from Bersabee, went on to Haran. | igitur egressus Iacob de Bersabee pergebat Haran |
| 28 | 11 | And when he was come to a certain place, and would rest in it after sunset, he took of the stones that lay there, and putting under his head, slept in the same place. | cumque venisset ad quendam locum et vellet in eo requiescere post solis occubitum tulit de lapidibus qui iacebant et subponens capiti suo dormivit in eodem loco |
| 28 | 12 | And he saw in his sleep a ladder standing upon the earth, and the top thereof touching heaven: the angels also of God ascending and descending by it. | viditque in somnis scalam stantem super terram et cacumen illius tangens caelum angelos quoque Dei ascendentes et descendentes per eam |
| 28 | 13 | And the Lord leaning upon the ladder saying to him: I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: The land, wherein thou sleepest, I will give to thee and to thy seed. | et Dominum innixum scalae dicentem sibi ego sum Dominus Deus Abraham patris tui et Deus Isaac terram in qua dormis tibi dabo et semini tuo |
| 28 | 14 | And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth: thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and IN THEE and thy seed, all the tribes of the earth SHALL BE BLESSED. | eritque germen tuum quasi pulvis terrae dilataberis ad occidentem et orientem septentrionem et meridiem et benedicentur in te et in semine tuo cunctae tribus terrae |
| 28 | 15 | And I will be thy keeper whithersoever thou goest, and will bring thee back into this land: neither will I leave thee, till I shall have accomplished all that I have said. | et ero custos tuus quocumque perrexeris et reducam te in terram hanc nec dimittam nisi conplevero universa quae dixi |
| 28 | 16 | And when Jacob awaked out of sleep, he said: Indeed the Lord is in this place, and I knew it not. | cumque evigilasset Iacob de somno ait vere Dominus est in loco isto et ego nesciebam |
| 28 | 17 | And trembling, he said: How terrible is this place? this is no other but the house of God, and the gate of heaven. | pavensque quam terribilis inquit est locus iste non est hic aliud nisi domus Dei et porta caeli |
| 28 | 18 | And Jacob arising in the morning, took the stone which he had laid under his head, and set it up for a title, pouring oil upon the top of it. | surgens ergo mane tulit lapidem quem subposuerat capiti suo et erexit in titulum fundens oleum desuper |
| 28 | 19 | And he called the name of the city Bethel, which before was called Luza. | appellavitque nomen urbis Bethel quae prius Luza vocabatur |
| 28 | 20 | And he made a vow, saying: If God shall be with me, and shall keep me in the way, by which I walk, and shall give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, | vovit etiam votum dicens si fuerit Deus mecum et custodierit me in via per quam ambulo et dederit mihi panem ad vescendum et vestem ad induendum |
| 28 | 21 | And I shall return prosperously to my father's house: the Lord shall be my God: | reversusque fuero prospere ad domum patris mei erit mihi Dominus in Deum |
| 28 | 22 | And this stone, which I have set up for a title, shall be called the house of God: and of all things that thou shalt give to me, I will offer tithes to thee. | et lapis iste quem erexi in titulum vocabitur Domus Dei cunctorumque quae dederis mihi decimas offeram tibi |
