- 33:1 And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children to Leah, and to Rachel, and to the two handmaids.
- 33:2 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph last.
- 33:3 And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
- 33:4 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.
- 33:5 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with you? And he said, The children which God has graciously given your servant.
- 33:6 Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
- 33:7 And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
- 33:8 And he said, What mean you by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord.
- 33:9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that you have to yourself.
- 33:10 And Jacob said, No, I pray you, if now I have found grace in your sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen your face, as though I had seen the face of God, and you were pleased with me.
- 33:11 Take, I pray you, my blessing that is brought to you; because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it.
- 33:12 And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before you.
- 33:13 And he said to him, My lord knows that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.
- 33:14 Let my lord, I pray you, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goes before me and the children be able to endure, until I come to my lord to Seir.
- 33:15 And Esau said, Let me now leave with you some of the folk that are with me. And he said, What needs it? let me find grace in the sight of my lord.
- 33:16 So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
- 33:17 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
- 33:18 And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent before the city.
- 33:19 And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for an hundred pieces of money.
- 33:20 And he erected there an altar, and called it EleloheIsrael.

- 32:1 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
- 32:2 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God’s host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
- 32:3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
- 32:4 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall you speak to my lord Esau; Your servant Jacob said thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there until now:
- 32:5 And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in your sight.
- 32:6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to your brother Esau, and also he comes to meet you, and four hundred men with him.
- 32:7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands;
- 32:8 And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape.
- 32:9 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD which said to me, Return to your country, and to your kindred, and I will deal well with you:
- 32:10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which you have showed to your servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
- 32:11 Deliver me, I pray you, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children.
- 32:12 And you said, I will surely do you good, and make your seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
- 32:13 And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;
- 32:14 Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
- 32:15 Thirty milk camels with their colts, forty cows, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.
- 32:16 And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said to his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space between drove and drove.
- 32:17 And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meets you, and asks you, saying, Whose are you? and where go you? and whose are these before you?
- 32:18 Then you shall say, They be your servant Jacob’s; it is a present sent to my lord Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us.
- 32:19 And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall you speak to Esau, when you find him.
- 32:20 And say you moreover, Behold, your servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me.
- 32:21 So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company.
- 32:22 And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.
- 32:23 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.
- 32:24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
- 32:25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
- 32:26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaks. And he said, I will not let you go, except you bless me.
- 32:27 And he said to him, What is your name? And he said, Jacob.
- 32:28 And he said, Your name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince have you power with God and with men, and have prevailed.
- 32:29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray you, your name. And he said, Why is it that you do ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
- 32:30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
- 32:31 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose on him, and he halted on his thigh.
- 32:32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is on the hollow of the thigh, to this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew that shrank.

- 31:1 And he heard the words of Laban’s sons, saying, Jacob has taken away all that was our father’s; and of that which was our father’s has he gotten all this glory.
- 31:2 And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.
- 31:3 And the LORD said to Jacob, Return to the land of your fathers, and to your kindred; and I will be with you.
- 31:4 And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field to his flock,
- 31:5 And said to them, I see your father’s countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father has been with me.
- 31:6 And you know that with all my power I have served your father.
- 31:7 And your father has deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.
- 31:8 If he said thus, The speckled shall be your wages; then all the cattle bore speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstraked shall be your hire; then bore all the cattle ringstraked.
- 31:9 Thus God has taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
- 31:10 And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up my eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped on the cattle were ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
- 31:11 And the angel of God spoke to me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I.
- 31:12 And he said, Lift up now your eyes, and see, all the rams which leap on the cattle are ringstraked, speckled, and spotted: for I have seen all that Laban does to you.
- 31:13 I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed the pillar, and where you vowed a vow to me: now arise, get you out from this land, and return to the land of your kindred.
- 31:14 And Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father’s house?
- 31:15 Are we not counted of him strangers? for he has sold us, and has quite devoured also our money.
- 31:16 For all the riches which God has taken from our father, that is ours, and our children’s: now then, whatever God has said to you, do.
- 31:17 Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives on camels;
- 31:18 And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in Padanaram, for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.
- 31:19 And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father’s.
- 31:20 And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled.
- 31:21 So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead.
- 31:22 And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled.
- 31:23 And he took his brothers with him, and pursued after him seven days’ journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead.
- 31:24 And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said to him, Take heed that you speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
- 31:25 Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban with his brothers pitched in the mount of Gilead.
- 31:26 And Laban said to Jacob, What have you done, that you have stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives taken with the sword?
- 31:27 Why did you flee away secretly, and steal away from me; and did not tell me, that I might have sent you away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp?
- 31:28 And have not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? you have now done foolishly in so doing.
- 31:29 It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, Take you heed that you speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
- 31:30 And now, though you would needs be gone, because you sore longed after your father’s house, yet why have you stolen my gods?
- 31:31 And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Peradventure you would take by force your daughters from me.
- 31:32 With whomsoever you find your gods, let him not live: before our brothers discern you what is your with me, and take it to you. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them.
- 31:33 And Laban went into Jacob’s tent, and into Leah’s tent, and into the two maidservants’ tents; but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah’s tent, and entered into Rachel’s tent.
- 31:34 Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel’s furniture, and sat on them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them not.
- 31:35 And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise up before you; for the custom of women is on me. And he searched but found not the images.
- 31:36 And Jacob was wroth, and strived with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that you have so hotly pursued after me?
- 31:37 Whereas you have searched all my stuff, what have you found of all your household stuff? set it here before my brothers and your brothers, that they may judge between us both.
- 31:38 This twenty years have I been with you; your ewes and your she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of your flock have I not eaten.
- 31:39 That which was torn of beasts I brought not to you; I bore the loss of it; of my hand did you require it, whether stolen by day, or stolen by night.
- 31:40 Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from my eyes.
- 31:41 Thus have I been twenty years in your house; I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your cattle: and you have changed my wages ten times.
- 31:42 Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely you had sent me away now empty. God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked you last night.
- 31:43 And Laban answered and said to Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that you see is mine: and what can I do this day to these my daughters, or to their children which they have born?
- 31:44 Now therefore come you, let us make a covenant, I and you; and let it be for a witness between me and you.
- 31:45 And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.
- 31:46 And Jacob said to his brothers, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there on the heap.
- 31:47 And Laban called it Jegarsahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed.
- 31:48 And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and you this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed;
- 31:49 And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and you, when we are absent one from another.
- 31:50 If you shall afflict my daughters, or if you shall take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness between me and you.
- 31:51 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast between me and you:
- 31:52 This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to you, and that you shall not pass over this heap and this pillar to me, for harm.
- 31:53 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us. And Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac.
- 31:54 Then Jacob offered sacrifice on the mount, and called his brothers to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mount.
- 31:55 And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned to his place.

- 30:8 And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.

- 30:10 And Zilpah Leah’s maid bore Jacob a son.

- 30:14 And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray you, of your son’s mandrakes.
- 30:15 And she said to her, Is it a small matter that you have taken my husband? and would you take away my son’s mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with you to night for your son’s mandrakes.
- 30:16 And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, You must come in to me; for surely I have hired you with my son’s mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.
- 30:17 And God listened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob the fifth son.
- 30:18 And Leah said, God has given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.
- 30:19 And Leah conceived again, and bore Jacob the sixth son.
- 30:20 And Leah said, God has endued me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun.
- 30:21 And afterwards she bore a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
- 30:22 And God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and opened her womb.
- 30:23 And she conceived, and bore a son; and said, God has taken away my reproach:
- 30:24 And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me another son.
- 30:25 And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, Send me away, that I may go to my own place, and to my country.
- 30:26 Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served you, and let me go: for you know my service which I have done you.
- 30:27 And Laban said to him, I pray you, if I have found favor in your eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that the LORD has blessed me for your sake.
- 30:28 And he said, Appoint me your wages, and I will give it.
- 30:29 And he said to him, You know how I have served you, and how your cattle was with me.
- 30:30 For it was little which you had before I came, and it is now increased to a multitude; and the LORD has blessed you since my coming: and now when shall I provide for my own house also?
- 30:31 And he said, What shall I give you? And Jacob said, You shall not give me any thing: if you will do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep your flock.
- 30:32 I will pass through all your flock to day, removing from there all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of such shall be my hire.
- 30:33 So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before your face: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted stolen with me.
- 30:34 And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to your word.
- 30:35 And he removed that day the he goats that were ringstraked and spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted, and every one that had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.

- 30:37 And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.
- 30:38 And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.
- 30:39 And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.

- 29:1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.
- 29:2 And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, see, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone was on the well’s mouth.
- 29:3 And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again on the well’s mouth in his place.
- 29:4 And Jacob said to them, My brothers, from where be you? And they said, Of Haran are we.
- 29:5 And he said to them, Know you Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
- 29:6 And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter comes with the sheep.
- 29:7 And he said, See, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water you the sheep, and go and feed them.
- 29:8 And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the well’s mouth; then we water the sheep.
- 29:9 And while he yet spoke with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep; for she kept them.
- 29:10 And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother’s brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother.
- 29:11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
- 29:12 And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s brother, and that he was Rebekah’s son: and she ran and told her father.
- 29:13 And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister’s son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
- 29:14 And Laban said to him, Surely you are my bone and my flesh. And he stayed with him the space of a month.
- 29:15 And Laban said to Jacob, Because you are my brother, should you therefore serve me for nothing? tell me, what shall your wages be?
- 29:16 And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
- 29:17 Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favored.
- 29:18 And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve you seven years for Rachel your younger daughter.
- 29:19 And Laban said, It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
- 29:20 And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had to her.
- 29:21 And Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.
- 29:22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
- 29:23 And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in to her.
- 29:24 And Laban gave to his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid.
- 29:25 And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this you have done to me? did not I serve with you for Rachel? why then have you beguiled me?
- 29:26 And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
- 29:27 Fulfill her week, and we will give you this also for the service which you shall serve with me yet seven other years.
- 29:28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.
- 29:29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.
- 29:30 And he went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
- 29:31 And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.
- 29:32 And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD has looked on my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.
- 29:33 And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Because the LORD has heard I was hated, he has therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon.
- 29:34 And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined to me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.
- 29:35 And she conceived again, and bore a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing.

- 28:1 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said to him, You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
- 28:2 Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel your mother’s father; and take you a wife from there of the daughers of Laban your mother’s brother.
- 28:3 And God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, that you may be a multitude of people;
- 28:4 And give you the blessing of Abraham, to you, and to your seed with you; that you may inherit the land wherein you are a stranger, which God gave to Abraham.
- 28:5 And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padanaram to Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother.
- 28:6 When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padanaram, to take him a wife from there; and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, You shall not take a wife of the daughers of Canaan;
- 28:7 And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padanaram;
- 28:8 And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father;
- 28:9 Then went Esau to Ishmael, and took to the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife.
- 28:10 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
- 28:11 And he lighted on a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, 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, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac: the land where on you lie, to you will I give it, and to your seed;
- 28:14 And your seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in you and in your seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
- 28:15 And, behold, I am with you, and will keep you in all places where you go, and will bring you again into this land; for I will not leave you, until I have done that which I have spoken to you of.
- 28:16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD 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 but 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 for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil on the top of it.
- 28:19 And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called 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; then shall the LORD be my God:
- 28:22 And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God’s house: and of all that you shall give me I will surely give the tenth to you.

- 27:1 And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his oldest son, and said to him, My son: and he said to him, Behold, here am I.
- 27:2 And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:
- 27:3 Now therefore take, I pray you, your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;
- 27:4 And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless you before I die.
- 27:5 And Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
- 27:6 And Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying,
- 27:7 Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless you before the LORD before my death.
- 27:8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you.
- 27:9 Go now to the flock, and fetch me from there two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for your father, such as he loves:
- 27:10 And you shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, and that he may bless you before his death.
- 27:11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:
- 27:12 My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse on me, and not a blessing.
- 27:13 And his mother said to him, On me be your curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.
- 27:14 And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.
- 27:15 And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her oldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son:
- 27:16 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck:
- 27:17 And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
- 27:18 And he came to his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who are you, my son?
- 27:19 And Jacob said to his father, I am Esau your first born; I have done according as you bade me: arise, I pray you, sit and eat of my venison, that your soul may bless me.
- 27:20 And Isaac said to his son, How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD your God brought it to me.
- 27:21 And Isaac said to Jacob, Come near, I pray you, that I may feel you, my son, whether you be my very son Esau or not.
- 27:22 And Jacob went near to Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.
- 27:23 And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau’s hands: so he blessed him.
- 27:24 And he said, Are you my very son Esau? And he said, I am.
- 27:25 And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s venison, that my soul may bless you. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine and he drank.
- 27:26 And his father Isaac said to him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.
- 27:27 And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD has blessed:
- 27:28 Therefore God give you of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
- 27:29 Let people serve you, and nations bow down to you: be lord over your brothers, and let your mother’s sons bow down to you: cursed be every one that curses you, and blessed be he that blesses you.
- 27:30 And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
- 27:31 And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it to his father, and said to his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that your soul may bless me.
- 27:32 And Isaac his father said to him, Who are you? And he said, I am your son, your firstborn Esau.
- 27:33 And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where is he that has taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him? yes, and he shall be blessed.
- 27:34 And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said to his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father.
- 27:35 And he said, Your brother came with subtlety, and has taken away your blessing.
- 27:36 And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he has supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he has taken away my blessing. And he said, Have you not reserved a blessing for me?
- 27:37 And Isaac answered and said to Esau, Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now to you, my son?
- 27:38 And Esau said to his father, Have you but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
- 27:39 And Isaac his father answered and said to him, Behold, your dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above;
- 27:40 And by your sword shall you live, and shall serve your brother; and it shall come to pass when you shall have the dominion, that you shall break his yoke from off your neck.
- 27:41 And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.
- 27:42 And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, Behold, your brother Esau, as touching you, does comfort himself, purposing to kill you.
- 27:43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; arise, flee you to Laban my brother to Haran;
- 27:44 And tarry with him a few days, until your brother’s fury turn away;
- 27:45 Until your brother’s anger turn away from you, and he forget that which you have done to him: then I will send, and fetch you from there: why should I be deprived also of you both in one day?
- 27:46 And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?

- 26:1 And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines to Gerar.
- 26:2 And the LORD appeared to him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell you of:
- 26:3 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you; for to you, and to your seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I swore to Abraham your father;
- 26:4 And I will make your seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give to your seed all these countries; and in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
- 26:5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
- 26:6 And Isaac dwelled in Gerar:
- 26:7 And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look on.
- 26:8 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.
- 26:9 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is your wife; and how said you, She is my sister? And Isaac said to him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.
- 26:10 And Abimelech said, What is this you have done to us? one of the people might lightly have lien with your wife, and you should have brought guiltiness on us.
- 26:11 And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
- 26:12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundred times: and the LORD blessed him.
- 26:13 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:
- 26:14 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
- 26:15 For all the wells which his father’s servants had dig in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth.
- 26:16 And Abimelech said to Isaac, Go from us; for you are much mightier than we.
- 26:17 And Isaac departed there, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelled there.
- 26:18 And Isaac dig again the wells of water, which they had dig in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
- 26:19 And Isaac’s servants dig in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
- 26:20 And the herdsmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him.
- 26:21 And they dig another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.
- 26:22 And he removed from there, and dig another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
- 26:23 And he went up from there to Beersheba.
- 26:24 And the LORD appeared to him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham your father: fear not, for I am with you, and will bless you, and multiply your seed for my servant Abraham’s sake.
- 26:25 And he built an altar there, and called on the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac’s servants dig a well.
- 26:26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army.
- 26:27 And Isaac said to them, Why come you to me, seeing you hate me, and have sent me away from you?
- 26:28 And they said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with you: and we said, Let there be now an oath between us, even between us and you, and let us make a covenant with you;
- 26:29 That you will do us no hurt, as we have not touched you, and as we have done to you nothing but good, and have sent you away in peace: you are now the blessed of the LORD.
- 26:30 And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.
- 26:31 And they rose up betimes in the morning, and swore one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
- 26:32 And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac’s servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dig, and said to him, We have found water.
- 26:33 And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is Beersheba to this day.
- 26:34 And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:
- 26:35 Which were a grief of mind to Isaac and to Rebekah.

- 25:1 Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.
- 25:2 And she bore him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
- 25:3 And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
- 25:4 And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
- 25:5 And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac.
- 25:6 But to the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, to the east country.
- 25:7 And these are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived, an hundred three score and fifteen years.
- 25:8 Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.
- 25:9 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;
- 25:10 The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
- 25:11 And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelled by the well Lahairoi.
- 25:12 Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, bore to Abraham:
- 25:13 And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
- 25:14 And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
- 25:15 Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
- 25:16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.
- 25:17 And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered to his people.
- 25:18 And they dwelled from Havilah to Shur, that is before Egypt, as you go toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brothers.
- 25:19 And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham begat Isaac:
- 25:20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.
- 25:21 And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
- 25:22 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of the LORD.
- 25:23 And the LORD said to her, Two nations are in your womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from your bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
- 25:24 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
- 25:25 And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
- 25:26 And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was three score years old when she bore them.
- 25:27 And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
- 25:28 And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
- 25:29 And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:
- 25:30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray you, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.
- 25:31 And Jacob said, Sell me this day your birthright.
- 25:32 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?
- 25:33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he swore to him: and he sold his birthright to Jacob.
- 25:34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.

- 24:1 And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
- 24:2 And Abraham said to his oldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray you, your hand under my thigh:
- 24:3 And I will make you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that you shall not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
- 24:4 But you shall go to my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife to my son Isaac.
- 24:5 And the servant said to him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land: must I needs bring your son again to the land from from where you came?
- 24:6 And Abraham said to him, Beware you that you bring not my son thither again.
- 24:7 The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spoke to me, and that swore to me, saying, To your seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife to my son from there.
- 24:8 And if the woman will not be willing to follow you, then you shall be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.
- 24:9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning that matter.
- 24:10 And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor.
- 24:11 And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, even the time that women go out to draw water.
- 24:12 And he said O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray you, send me good speed this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
- 24:13 Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:
- 24:14 And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down your pitcher, I pray you, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give your camels drink also: let the same be she that you have appointed for your servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that you have showed kindness to my master.
- 24:15 And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher on her shoulder.
- 24:16 And the damsel was very fair to look on, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
- 24:17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray you, drink a little water of your pitcher.
- 24:18 And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hurried, and let down her pitcher on her hand, and gave him drink.
- 24:19 And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for your camels also, until they have done drinking.
- 24:20 And she hurried, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.
- 24:21 And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.
- 24:22 And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold;
- 24:23 And said, Whose daughter are you? tell me, I pray you: is there room in your father’s house for us to lodge in?
- 24:24 And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bore to Nahor.
- 24:25 She said moreover to him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in.
- 24:26 And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD.
- 24:27 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who has not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master’s brothers.
- 24:28 And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother’s house these things.
- 24:29 And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out to the man, to the well.
- 24:30 And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets on his sister’s hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spoke the man to me; that he came to the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well.
- 24:31 And he said, Come in, you blessed of the LORD; why stand you without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.
- 24:32 And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men’s feet that were with him.
- 24:33 And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told my errand. And he said, Speak on.
- 24:34 And he said, I am Abraham’s servant.
- 24:35 And the LORD has blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he has given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.
- 24:36 And Sarah my master’s wife bore a son to my master when she was old: and to him has he given all that he has.
- 24:37 And my master made me swear, saying, You shall not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
- 24:38 But you shall go to my father’s house, and to my kindred, and take a wife to my son.
- 24:39 And I said to my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.
- 24:40 And he said to me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you, and prosper your way; and you shall take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father’s house:
- 24:41 Then shall you be clear from this my oath, when you come to my kindred; and if they give not you one, you shall be clear from my oath.
- 24:42 And I came this day to the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now you do prosper my way which I go:
- 24:43 Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin comes forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray you, a little water of your pitcher to drink;
- 24:44 And she say to me, Both drink you, and I will also draw for your camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD has appointed out for my master’s son.
- 24:45 And before I had done speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down to the well, and drew water: and I said to her, Let me drink, I pray you.
- 24:46 And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give your camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.
- 24:47 And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter are you? And she said, the daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bore to him: and I put the earring on her face, and the bracelets on her hands.
- 24:48 And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master’s brother’s daughter to his son.
- 24:49 And now if you will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.
- 24:50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceeds from the LORD: we cannot speak to you bad or good.
- 24:51 Behold, Rebekah is before you, take her, and go, and let her be your master’s son’s wife, as the LORD has spoken.
- 24:52 And it came to pass, that, when Abraham’s servant heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth.
- 24:53 And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things.
- 24:54 And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away to my master.
- 24:55 And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.
- 24:56 And he said to them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD has prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.
- 24:57 And they said, We will call the damsel, and inquire at her mouth.
- 24:58 And they called Rebekah, and said to her, Will you go with this man? And she said, I will go.
- 24:59 And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant, and his men.
- 24:60 And they blessed Rebekah, and said to her, You are our sister, be you the mother of thousands of millions, and let your seed possess the gate of those which hate them.
- 24:61 And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode on the camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
- 24:62 And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for he dwelled in the south country.
- 24:63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming.
- 24:64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.
- 24:65 For she had said to the servant, What man is this that walks in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a veil, and covered herself.
- 24:66 And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.
- 24:67 And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.
