¹ 以撒叫了雅各来，给他祝福，并嘱咐他说：你不要娶迦南的女子为妻。

² 你起身往巴旦亚兰去，到你外祖彼土利家里，在你母舅拉班的女儿中娶一女为妻。

³ 愿全能的神赐福给你，使你生养众多，成为多族，

⁴ 将应许亚伯拉罕的福赐给你和你的後裔，使你承受你所寄居的地为业，就是神赐给亚伯拉罕的地。

⁵ 以撒打发雅各走了，他就往巴旦亚兰去，到亚兰人彼土利的儿子拉班那里。拉班是雅各、以扫的母舅。

⁶ 以扫见以撒已经给雅各祝福，而且打发他往巴旦亚兰去，在那里娶妻，并见祝福的时候嘱咐他说：不要娶迦南的女子为妻，

⁷ 又见雅各听从父母的话往巴旦亚兰去了，

⁸ 以扫就晓得他父亲以撒看不中迦南的女子，

⁹ 便往以实玛利那里去，在他二妻之外又娶了玛哈拉为妻。他是亚伯拉罕儿子以实玛利的女儿，尼拜约的妹子。

¹⁰ 雅各出了别是巴，向哈兰走去；

¹¹ 到了一个地方，因为太阳落了，就在那里住宿，便拾起那地方的一块石头枕在头下，在那里躺卧睡了，

¹² 梦见一个梯子立在地上，梯子的头顶着天，有神的使者在梯子上，上去下来。

¹³ 耶和华站在梯子以上(或作站在他旁边)，说：我是耶和华─你祖亚伯拉罕的神，也是以撒的神；我要将你现在所躺卧之地赐给你和你的後裔。

¹⁴ 你的後裔必像地上的尘沙那样多，必向东西南北开展；地上万族必因你和你的後裔得福。

¹⁵ 我也与你同在。你无论往那里去，我必保佑你，领你归回这地，总不离弃你，直到我成全了向你所应许的。

¹⁶ 雅各睡醒了，说：耶和华真在这里，我竟不知道！

¹⁷ 就惧怕，说：这地方何等可畏！这不是别的，乃是神的殿，也是天的门。

¹⁸ 雅各清早起来，把所枕的石头立作柱子，浇油在上面。

¹⁹ 他就给那地方起名叫伯特利(就是神殿的意思)；但那地方起先名叫路斯。

²⁰ 雅各许愿说：神若与我同在，在我所行的路上保佑我，又给我食物吃，衣服穿，

²¹ 使我平平安安地回到我父亲的家，我就必以耶和华为我的神。

²² 我所立为柱子的石头也必作神的殿，凡你所赐给我的，我必将十分之一献给你。

¹ Now this is the history of the generations of the sons of Noah and of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.

² The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

³ The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.

⁴ The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

⁵ Of these were the islands of the nations divided in their lands, everyone after his language, after their families, in their nations.

⁶ The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.

⁷ The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.

⁸ Cush became the father of Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one in the earth.

⁹ He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh. Therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh."

¹⁰ The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

¹¹ Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,

¹² and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (the same is the great city).

¹³ Mizraim became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,

¹⁴ Pathrusim, Casluhim (which the Philistines descended from), and Caphtorim.

¹⁵ Canaan became the father of Sidon (his firstborn), Heth,

¹⁶ the Jebusite, the Amorite, the Girgashite,

¹⁷ the Hivite, the Arkite, the Sinite,

¹⁸ the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad.

¹⁹ The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you go toward Gerar, to Gaza; as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, to Lasha.

²⁰ These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their languages, in their lands, in their nations.

²¹ To Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, to him also were children born.

²² The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram.

²³ The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.

²⁴ Arpachshad became the father of Shelah. Shelah became the father of Eber.

²⁵ To Eber were born two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided. His brother's name was Joktan.

²⁶ Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,

²⁷ Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,

²⁸ Obal, Abimael, Sheba,

²⁹ Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.

³⁰ Their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east.

³¹ These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their languages, in their lands, after their nations.

³² These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations. Of these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
