Vocavit itaque Isaac Jacob, et benedixit eum, præcepitque ei dicens: Noli accipere conjugem de genere Chanaan:

And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, saying: Take not a wife of the stock of Chanaan:

Voca itaque Isaace Iacobo, et benedic illo, et praecipie ad illo dicente: ne vol accipe coniunce de genere Chanaane:

sed vade, et proficiscere in Mesopotamiam Syriæ, ad domum Bathuel patris matris tuæ, et accipe tibi inde uxorem de filiabus Laban avunculi tui.

But go, and take a journey to Mesopotamia of Syria, to the house of Bathuel, thy mother's father, and take thee a wife thence of the daughters of Laban, thy uncle.

Sed vade, et proficiscor in Mesopotamia de Syria, ad domo de Bathuele de patre de matre tuo, et accipe ad te inde uxore de filias Labane de avunculo tuo.

Deus autem omnipotens benedicat tibi, et crescere te faciat, atque multiplicet, ut sis in turbas populorum.

And God almighty bless thee, and make thee to increase and multiply thee: that thou mayst be a multitude of people.

Deo autem omnipotente benedic ad te, et cresce te que fac, et multiplica, ut es in turbas de populos.

Et det tibi benedictiones Abrahæ, et semini tuo post te: ut possideas terram peregrinationis tuæ, quam pollicitus est avo tuo.

And give the blessings of Abraham to thee, and to thy seed after thee: that thou mayst possess the land of thy sojournment, which he promised to thy grandfather.

Et que da ad te benedictiones de Abrahame, et ad semine tuo post te: ut posside terra de peregrinatione tuo, quam polliceor es ad ava tuo.

Cumque dimisisset eum Isaac, profectus venit in Mesopotamiam Syriæ ad Laban filium Bathuel Syri, fratrem Rebeccæ matris suæ.

And when Isaac had sent him away, he took his journey and went to Mesopotamia of Syria, to Laban, the son of Bathuel, the Syrian, brother to Rebecca, his mother.

Videns autem Esau quod benedixisset pater suus Jacob, et misisset eum in Mesopotamiam Syriæ, ut inde uxorem duceret; et quod post benedictionem præcepisset ei, dicens: Non accipies uxorem de filiabus Chanaan:

And Esau seeing that his father had blessed Jacob, and had sent him into Mesopotamia of Syria, to marry a wife thence; and that after the blessing he had charged him, saying: Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Chanaan:

Vidente autem Esau quod patre suo Iacobo benedic, et mitte illo in Mesopotamia de Syria, ut inde uxore duc; et quod post benedictione praecipie ad illo, dicente: non accipe uxore de filias Chanaane:

quodque obediens Jacob parentibus suis isset in Syriam:

And that Jacob obeying his parents, was gone into Syria:

Omni obedi Iacobo ad parentes suo i in Syria:

probans quoque quod non libenter aspiceret filias Chanaan pater suus:

Experiencing also, that his father was not well pleased with the daughters of Chanaan:

Proba etiam quod non libenter aspice filias Chanaane patre suo:

ivit ad Ismaëlem, et duxit uxorem absque iis, quas prius habebat, Maheleth filiam Ismaël filii Abraham, sororem Nabaioth.

He went to Ismael, and took to wife, besides them he had before, Maheleth, the daughter of Ismael, Abraham's son, the sister of Nabajoth.

And when he was come to a certain place, and would rest in it after sunset, he took of the stones that lay there, and putting under his head, slept in the same place.

Viditque in somnis scalam stantem super terram, et cacumen illius tangens cælum: angelos quoque Dei ascendentes et descendentes per eam,

And he saw in his sleep a ladder standing upon the earth, and the top thereof touching heaven: the angels also of God ascending and descending by it.

Et vide in somnos scala sta super terra, et cacumine de illo tange caelo: angelos etiam de Deo ascende et descende per illa,

et Dominum innixum scalæ dicentem sibi: Ego sum Dominus Deus Abraham patris tui, et Deus Isaac: terram, in qua dormis, tibi dabo et semini tuo.

And the Lord leaning upon the ladder saying to him: I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: The land, wherein thou sleepest, I will give to thee and to thy seed.

Et Domino innixum de scala dic ad se: me es Domino Deo Abrahame de patre tuo, et Deo Isaace: terra, in quo dormi, ad te da et ad semine tuo.

Eritque semen tuum quasi pulvis terræ: dilataberis ad occidentem, et orientem, et septentrionem, et meridiem: et benedicentur in te et in semine tuo cunctæ tribus terræ.

Et ero custos tuus quocumque perrexeris, et reducam te in terram hanc: nec dimittam nisi complevero universa quæ dixi.

And I will be thy keeper whithersoever thou goest, and will bring thee back into this land: neither will I leave thee, till I shall have accomplished all that I have said.

Et es custode tuo quocumque perge, et reduce te in terra hoc: nec dimitte nisi comple universa que dic.

Cumque evigilasset Jacob de somno, ait: Vere Dominus est in loco isto, et ego nesciebam.

And when Jacob awaked out of sleep, he said: Indeed the Lord is in this place, and I knew it not.

Pavensque, Quam terribilis est, inquit, locus iste! non est hic aliud nisi domus Dei, et porta cæli.

Voea etiam voto, dicente: si es Deo mecum, et custodi me in via, per quam me ambula, et da ad me pane ad vesce, et vestimento ad indue,

reversusque fuero prospere ad domum patris mei: erit mihi Dominus in Deum,

And I shall return prosperously to my father's house: the Lord shall be my God:

Et reverte es prospere ad domo de patre meo: Domino ad me es in Deo,

et lapis iste, quem erexi in titulum, vocabitur Domus Dei: cunctorumque quæ dederis mihi, decimas offeram tibi.

And this stone, which I have set up for a title, shall be called the house of God: and of all things that thou shalt give to me, I will offer tithes to thee.

Et lapide isto, quem erige in titulo, voca Domo de Deo: et de cunctores que da ad me, decimo offer ad te.
