Genesis 28

28:1 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
28:2 Arise, go to Paddan-aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother’s father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother’s brother.
28:3 And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a company of peoples;
28:4 and give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land of thy sojournings, which God gave unto Abraham.
28:5 And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Paddan-aram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother.
28:6 Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan-aram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;
28:7 and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Paddan-aram:
28:8 and Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father;
28:9 and Esau went unto Ishmael, and took, besides the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.
28:10 And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went toward Haran.
28:11 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took one of the stones of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep.
28:12 And he dreamed; and behold, a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven; and behold, the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
28:13 And, behold, Jehovah stood above it, and said, I am Jehovah, the God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;
28:14 and thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
28:15 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee, whithersoever thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.
28:16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely Jehovah is in this place; and I knew it not.
28:17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
28:18 And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.
28:19 And he called the name of that place Beth-el: but the name of the city was Luz at the first.
28:20 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,
28:21 so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, and Jehovah will be my God,
28:22 then this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be God’s house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.

Psalm 24

24:1 A Psalm of David. The earth is Jehovah’s, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein.
24:2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the floods.
24:3 Who shall ascend into the hill of Jehovah? And who shall stand in his holy place?
24:4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; Who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood, And hath not sworn deceitfully.
24:5 He shall receive a blessing from Jehovah, And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
24:6 This is the generation of them that seek after him, That seek thy face, even Jacob.[Selah
24:7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; And be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors: And the King of glory will come in.
24:8 Who is the King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle.
24:9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; Yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors: And the King of glory will come in.
24:10 Who is this King of glory? Jehovah of hosts, He is the King of glory. [Selah

Matthew 9:18-26

9:18 While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.
9:19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.
9:20 And behold, a woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the border of his garment:
9:21 for she said within herself, If I do but touch his garment, I shall be made whole.
9:22 But Jesus turning and seeing her said, Daughter, be of good cheer; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
9:23 And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the flute-players, and the crowd making a tumult,
9:24 he said, Give place: for the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
9:25 But when the crowd was put forth, he entered in, and took her by the hand; and the damsel arose.
9:26 And the fame hereof went forth into all that land.
