And, look, Yahweh stood above it, and said, I am Yahweh, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. The land whereon you lie, to you I will give it, and to your seed.

And he was afraid, and said, How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.

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,

so that I come again to my father's house in peace, and Yahweh will be my God,

And Rachel said, God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son: therefore she called his name Dan.

And God listened to Leah, and she became pregnant, and bore Jacob a fifth son.

And Leah said, God has given me my wages, because I gave my slave to my husband: and she named him Issachar.

And Leah said, God has endowed me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons: and she named him Zebulun.

And God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and opened her womb.

Thus God has taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.

And the angel of God said to me in the dream, Jacob: and I said, Here I am.

And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream of the night, and said to him, You be careful not to speak to Jacob either good or bad.

It is in the power of my hand to do you harm: but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, You be careful that you don't speak to Jacob either good or bad.
