Genesis 28:1-9 - Jacob Flees To Haran

¹ And Isaak will call to Jacob, and will bless him, and will command him, and will say to him, Thou shalt not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan. ² Rising, go to Padan Aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father, and take to thee from thence a wife from the daughters of Laban, thy mother's brother. ³ And God Almighty will bless thee, and will make thee fruitful, and will multiply thee, and thou wert for an assembly of nations. ⁴ And he will give to thee the praise of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; for thee to inherit the land of thy sojourning, which God gave to Abraham. ⁵ And Isaak will send away Jacob; and he will go to Padan Aram, to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, brother of Rebekah, mother of Jacob and Esau.

⁶ And Esau will see that Isaak praised Jacob, and sent him away to Padan Aram, to take to him from thence a wife; in blessing him, and he will command him saying, Thou shalt not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan; ⁷ And Jacob will hear to his father, and to his mother, and will go to Padan Aram. ⁸ And Esau will see that the daughters of Canaan are evil in the eyes of Isaak his father. ⁹ And Esau will go to Ishmael, and will take Mahalath, daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, sister of Nebajoth, to his wives, to him for a wife.

¹ And Jacob will lift'up his feet and will go to the land of the sons of the east ² And he will see, and behold, a well in the field, and behold there three flocks of sheep lying by it; for from that well they will water the flocks and the great stone upon the mouth of the well. ³ And they gather there all the flocks; and they rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well and watered the sheep, and turned back the stone upon the mouth of the well to its place.

⁴ And Jacob will say to them, My brethren, whence are ye? and they will say, We are from Haran.

⁵ And he will say to them, knew ye Laban the son of Nahor? and they will say, We knew.

⁶ And he will say to them, Is health to him? and they will say, Health: Behold, Rachel his daughter came with the sheep. ⁷ And he will say, Behold, yet the day great, not the time of gathering the cattle; water ye the sheep, and go feed.

⁸ And they will say, We shall not be able, till that all the flocks shall be gathered together, and they roll the stone from the mouth of the well; and we water the sheep.

⁹ He yet speaking to them, and Rachel came with the sheep were to her father; for she fed them. ¹⁰ And it shall be when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, and Jacob will come near, and will roll away the stone from the mouth of the well, and will water the sheep of Laban his mother's brother. ¹¹ And Jacob will kiss Rachel, and will lift up his voice and weep. ¹² And Jacob will announce to Rachel that he is her father's brother, and that he is Rebekah's son; and she will run and announce to her father.

¹³ And it shall be when Laban heard the hearing of Jacob his sister's son, and he will run to meet him, and he will embrace him, and kiss him and bring him to his house, and he will recount to Laban all these words.

¹⁴ And Laban will say to him, Surely my bone and my flesh art thou: and he will dwell with him a month of days.
