1 以撒雅各来,给他祝福,并嘱咐他: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 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你和你的後裔,使你承受你所寄居的为业,就是亚伯拉罕的

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。拉班雅各以扫的母舅。

6 以扫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 又见雅各从父母的话往巴旦亚兰去了,

8 以扫就晓得他父亲以撒不中迦南的女子,

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,在那里躺卧睡了,

12 梦见一个梯子立在上,梯子的顶着,有的使者在梯子上,上去来。

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

14 你的後裔必像上的尘沙那样多,必向东西开展;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,耶和华真在这里,我竟不知道

17 就惧:这地方何等可畏!这不是别的,乃是的殿,也是

18 雅各起来,把所枕的石头立作柱子,浇在上面。

19 他就给那地方起名伯特利(就是神殿的意思);但那地方起先名路斯。

20 雅各许愿若与我同在,在我所行的上保佑我,又我食物衣服穿,

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

22 我所立为柱子的石头也必作的殿,凡你所赐我的,我必将十分之一献你。

3731. Verses 20-22. And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way wherein I walk, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, and I return in peace to my father’s house, Jehovah shall be to me for God. And this stone which I have set up for a pillar shall be God’s house; and all that Thou shalt give me, tithing I will tithe it to Thee. “And Jacob vowed a vow, saying,” signifies a state of Providence; “if God will be with me and will keep me in this way wherein I walk,” signifies continuously Divine; “and will give me bread to eat,” signifies even to conjunction with Divine good; “and raiment to put on,” signifies conjunction with Divine truth; “and I return in peace to my father’s house,” signifies even to perfect union; “and Jehovah shall be to me for God,” signifies that the Divine natural should also be Jehovah; “and this stone which I have set up for a pillar,” signifies truth which is the ultimate; “shall be God’s house” signifies here as before the Lord’s kingdom in the ultimate of order, in which are higher things as in their house; “and all that Thou shalt give me, tithing I will tithe it to Thee,” signifies that He would make all things Divine in general and in particular by His own power.
