1 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 Padan-aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother’s father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters 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 Padan-aram 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 Padan-aram, 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 daughters of Canaan; 7 And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padan-aram; 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 Beer-sheba, 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 Beth-el: 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.
28–BOB
1 Shunday qilib, Isʼhoq Yoqubni chaqirtirib, uni duo qildi va shunday maslahat berdi:
— Kanʼonlik qizlarga uylanma. 2 Hoziroq Paddon–Oramga — bobong Batuvalning xonadoniga joʻna. U yerda togʻang Lobonning qizlaridan birortasiga uylan. 3 Qodir Xudo baraka berib, seni koʻpaytirsin. Sening naslingdan koʻp xalqlar kelib chiqsin. 4 Xudo Ibrohimga vaʼda qilgan barakasini senga va sening naslingga ato qilsin. Biz hozir musofir boʻlib yashayotgan, Xudo Ibrohimga bergan shu yurt sening mulking boʻlsin.
5 Shunday qilib, Isʼhoq Yoqubni joʻnatdi. Yoqub Paddon–Oramga — Oramlik Batuvalning oʻgʻli, togʻasi Lobonnikiga ketdi.
Esov boshqa xotinga uylanadi
6-7 Esov eshitdiki, otasi Yoqubni duo qilib, uni Paddon–Oramga joʻnatibdi. Yoqub ota–onasining gaplariga itoat etib, Paddon–Oramga ketibdi. Otasi Yoqubga: “Oʻsha yerdan uylangin”, debdi, “Kanʼonlik qizlarga uylanma”, deb ogohlantiribdi. 8 Kanʼonlik xotinlari otasiga yoqmasligini Esov tushunib yetdi. 9 Esov amakisi Ismoilning xonadoniga bordi va xotinlari ustiga, Ibrohim oʻgʻli Ismoilning qizlaridan biriga uylandi. Yangi xotinining ismi Maxalat edi. Maxalatning Navayot degan akasi ham bor edi.
Yoqub Baytilda tush koʻradi
10 Yoqub Bersheba shahridan chiqib, Xoron tomonga qarab ketdi. 11 U bir joyga yetib kelganda, kun botgan edi. Shuning uchun oʻsha yerda tunashga toʻxtadi. U bir tosh topdi–da, toshni boshining ostiga qoʻyib uxlagani yotdi. 12 Bir payt u tushida bir zinapoyani koʻrdi. Zinapoyaning pasti yerga, tepasi esa osmonga tegib turganmish. Xudoning farishtalari zinapoyadan chiqib, tushayotgan emishlar. 13 Zinapoyaning yonida Egamiz turgan emish. Egamiz Yoqubga shunday debdi:
— Men bobong Ibrohimning, otang Isʼhoqning Xudosi — Egangman. Hozir sen yotgan yer oʻzingniki boʻladi. Bu yerni senga va sening naslingga beraman. 14 Sening nasling yerning qumi singari son–sanoqsiz boʻladi. Ular gʻarbu sharqqa, shimolu janubga qarab yer yuziga yoyilib ketadilar. Yer yuzidagi hamma xalqlar sen va sening nasling orqali baraka topadi. 15 Shuni bilginki, Men sen bilan birgaman, qayerga bormagin, Men seni saqlayman. Shu yurtga seni yana qaytarib olib kelaman. Men seni hech qachon tark etmayman, bergan vaʼdalarimni oxirigacha bajaraman.
16 Yoqub uygʻonib ketdi va: “Haqiqatan ham Egamiz shu yerda ekan, men esa buni bilmabman”, dedi. 17 U qoʻrqib ketdi: “Bu joy Xudoning uyi ekan, samoga ochiladigan darvozaning oʻzi! Naqadar qoʻrqinchli–ya bu joy!” dedi.
18 Yoqub saharda turdi. Boshining ostiga qoʻygan toshni olib, yodgorlik qilib oʻrnatdi. Keyin yodgorlik toshining ustidan Xudoga atab zaytun moyi quydi. 19 Ilgari bu joyning nomi Luz edi. Yoqub esa bu joyga Baytil deb nom berdi. 20 Soʻng Yoqub quyidagicha qasam ichdi: “Agar Xudo men bilan birga boʻlsa, boradigan shu yoʻlimda meni asrasa, menga rizq–roʻzimni va kiyim bersa, 21 otamning xonadoniga eson–omon qaytarib olib kelsa, Egam mening Xudoyim boʻladi. 22 Men yodgorlik qilib oʻrnatgan shu tosh Xudoga sajda qiladigan joy boʻladi. Xudo menga bergan hamma narsaning oʻndan birini ushr qilib albatta beraman.”
