27:1
And the words of Esav, her elder son, were told to Rebecca in a dream, and Rebecca sent and called Ya’aqov her younger son, and said to him: "Behold Esav your brother will take vengeance on you so as to kill you.
27:2
Now, therefore, my son, obey my voice, and arise and flee you to Laban, my brother, to Haran,
27:3
and tarry with him a few days until your brother's anger turns away,
27:4
and he remove his anger from you, and forget all that you hast done; then I will send and fetch you from thence."
27:5
And Ya’aqov said: "I am not afraid; if he wishs to kill me, I will kill him." But she said to him: "Let me not be bereft of both my sons on one day."
27:6
And Ya’aqov said to Rebecca his mother: "Behold, you knowest that my father has become old, and does not see because his eyes are dull,
27:7
and if I leave him it will be evil in his eyes, because I leave him and go away from you, and my father will be angry, and will curse me.
27:8
I will not go; when he sends me, then only will I go."
27:9
And Rebecca said to Ya’aqov: "I will go in and speak to him, and he will send you away."
27:10
And Rebecca went in and said to Yitschaq: "I loathe my life because of the two daughters of Hs, whom Esav has taken him as wives; and if Ya’aqov take a wife from among the daughters of the land such as these, for what purpose do I further live; for the daughters of Kena’an are evil."
27:11
And Yitschaq called Ya’aqov and blessed him, and admonished him and said to him: "Do not take you a wife of any of the daughters of Kena’an;
27:12
arise and go to Mesopotamia, to the house of Bethuel, your mother's father, and take you a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban, your mother's brother.
27:13
And Elohim Almighty bless you and increase and multiply you that you mayest become a company of nations,
27:14
and give you the blessings of my father Avraham, to you and to your seed after you, that you mayest inherit the land of your sojournings and all the land which Elohim gave to Avraham: go, my son, in peace."
27:15
And Yitschaq sent Ya’aqov away, and he went to Mesopotamia, to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebecca, Ya’aqov's mother.
27:16
And it came to pass after Ya’aqov had arisen to go to Mesopotamia that the spirit of Rebecca was grieved after her son, and she wept.
27:17
And Yitschaq said to Rebecca: "My sister, weep not on account of Ya’aqov, my son; for he goes in peace, and in peace will he return.
27:18
The Most High Elohim will preserve him from all evil, and will be with him; for He will not forsake him all his days; For I know that his ways will be prospered in all things wherever he goes, until he return in peace to us, and we see him in peace.
27:19
Fear not on his account my sister, for he is on the upright path and he is a perfect man: and he is faithful and will not perish. Weep not."
27:20
And Yitschaq comforted Rebecca on account of her son Ya’aqov, and blessed him.
27:21
And Ya’aqov went from the Well of the Oath to go to Haran on the first year of the second week in the forty-fourth Jubilee,
27:22
and he came to Luz on the mountains, that is, Beit-El, on the new moon of the first month of this week, and he came to the place at even
27:23
and turned from the way to the west of the road that night: and he slept there; for the sun had set.
27:24
And he took one of the stones of that place and laid it (at his head) under the tree, and he was journeying alone, and he slept.
27:25
And he dreamt that night, and look a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven, and look, the mal’akhiym of Yahuah ascended and descended on it: and look, Yahuah stood upon it.
27:26
And He spoke to Ya’aqov and said: "I am Yahuah Elohim of Avraham, your father, and the Elohim of Yitschaq; the land whereon you are sleeping, to you shall I give it, and to your seed after you.
27:27
And your seed will be as the dust of the earth, and you will increase to the west and to the east, to the north and the south, and in you and in your seed will all the families of the nations be blessed.
27:28
And look, I shall be with you, and shall keep you whithersoever you goest, and I shall bring you again into this land in peace; for I shall not leave you until I do everything that I told you of."
27:29
And Ya’aqov awoke from his sleep, and said, "Truly this place is the house of Yahuah, and I knew it not."
27:30
And he was afraid and said:" Dreadful is this place which is none other than the house of Elohim, and this is the gate of heaven."
27:31
And Ya’aqov arose early in the morning, and took the stone which he had put under his head and set it up as a pillar for a sign, and he poured oil upon the top of it.
27:32
And he called the name of that place Beit-El; but the name of the place was Luz at the first.
27:33
And Ya’aqov vowed a vow to Yahuah, saying: "If Yahuah will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and give me bread to eat and raiment to put on,
27:34
so that I come again to my father's house in peace, then shall Yahuah be my Elohim,
27:35
and this stone which I have set up as a pillar for a sign in this place, shall be Yahuah's house, and of all that you givest me, I shall give the tenth to you, my Elohim."
