24 : 35 And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly ; and he is become great : and he hath 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 bare a son to my master when she was old : and unto him hath he given all that he hath . |
24 : 37 And my master made me swear , saying , Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites , in whose land I dwell : |
24 : 38 But thou shalt go unto my father ’ s house , and to my kindred , and take a wife unto my son . |
24 : 39 And I said unto my master , Peradventure the woman will not follow me . |
24 : 40 And he said unto me , The LORD , before whom I walk , will send his angel with thee , and prosper thy way ; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred , and of my father ’ s house : 24 : 41 Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath , when thou comest to my kindred ; and if they give not thee one , thou shalt be clear from my oath . |
24 : 42 And I came this day unto the well , and said , O LORD God of my master Abraham , if now thou 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 cometh forth to draw water , and I say to her , Give me , I pray thee , a little water of thy pitcher to drink ; 24 : 44 And she say to me , Both drink thou , and I will also draw for thy camels : let the same be the woman whom the LORD hath appointed out for my master ’ s son . |
24 : 45 And before I had done speaking in mine heart , behold , Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder ; and she went down unto the well , and drew water : and I said unto her , Let me drink , I pray thee . |
24 : 46 And she made haste , and let down her pitcher from her shoulder , and said , Drink , and I will give thy camels drink also : so I drank , and she made the camels drink also . |
24 : 47 And I asked her , and said , Whose daughter art thou ? And she said , the daughter of Bethuel , Nahor ’ s son , whom Milcah bare unto him : and I put the earring upon her face , and the bracelets upon 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 unto his son . |
24 : 49 And now if ye 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 proceedeth from the LORD : we cannot speak unto thee bad or good . |
24 : 51 Behold , Rebekah is before thee , take her , and go , and let her be thy master ’ s son ’ s wife , as the LORD hath 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 unto 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 unto them , Hinder me not , seeing the LORD hath prospered my way ; send me away that I may go to my master . |
24 : 57 And they said , We will call the damsel , and enquire at her mouth . |
24 : 58 And they called Rebekah , and said unto her , Wilt thou 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 unto her , Thou art our sister , be thou the mother of thousands of millions , and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them . |
24 : 61 And Rebekah arose , and her damsels , and they rode upon 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 dwelt 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 unto the servant , What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us ? And the servant had said , It is my master : therefore she took a vail , 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 . |
25 : 1 Then again Abraham took a wife , and her name was Keturah . |
25 : 2 And she bare 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 unto Isaac . |
25 : 6 But unto the sons of the concubines , which Abraham had , Abraham gave gifts , and sent them away from Isaac his son , while he yet lived , eastward , unto the east country . |
25 : 7 And these are the days of the years of Abraham ’ s life which he lived , an hundred threescore 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 dwelt by the well Lahairoi . |
25 : 12 Now these are the generations of Ishmael , Abraham ’ s son , whom Hagar the Egyptian , Sarah ’ s handmaid , bare unto 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 unto his people . |
25 : 18 And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur , that is before Egypt , as thou goest toward Assyria : and he died in the presence of all his brethren . |
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 intreated the LORD for his wife , because she was barren : and the LORD was intreated 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 enquire of the LORD . |
25 : 23 And the LORD said unto her , Two nations are in thy womb , and two manner of people shall be separated from thy 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 threescore years old when she bare 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 thee , with that same red pottage ; for I am faint : therefore was his name called Edom . |
25 : 31 And Jacob said , Sell me this day thy 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 sware unto him : and he sold his birthright unto Jacob . |
25 : 34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles ; and he did eat and drink , and rose up , and went his way : thus Esau despised his birthright . |
26 : 1 And there was a famine in the land , beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham . And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar . |
26 : 2 And the LORD appeared unto him , and said , Go not down into Egypt ; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of : 26 : 3 Sojourn in this land , and I will be with thee , and will bless thee ; for unto thee , and unto thy seed , I will give all these countries , and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father ; 26 : 4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven , and will give unto thy seed all these countries ; and in thy 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 dwelt 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 upon . |
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 thy wife ; and how saidst thou , She is my sister ? And Isaac said unto him , Because I said , Lest I die for her . |
26 : 10 And Abimelech said , What is this thou hast done unto us ? one of the people might lightly have lien with thy wife , and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us . |
26 : 11 And Abimelech charged all his people , saying , He that toucheth 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 hundredfold : 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 digged in the days of Abraham his father , the Philistines had stopped them , and filled them with earth . |
26 : 16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac , Go from us ; for thou art much mightier than we . |
26 : 17 And Isaac departed thence , and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar , and dwelt there . |
26 : 18 And Isaac digged again the wells of water , which they had digged 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 digged in the valley , and found there a well of springing water . |
26 : 20 And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac ’ s herdmen , saying , The water is ours : and he called the name of the well Esek ; because they strove with him . |
26 : 21 And they digged another well , and strove for that also : and he called the name of it Sitnah . |
26 : 22 And he removed from thence , and digged another well ; and for that they strove not : and he called the name of it Rehoboth ; and he said , For now the LORD hath made room for us , and we shall be fruitful in the land . |
26 : 23 And he went up from thence to Beersheba . |
26 : 24 And the LORD appeared unto him the same night , and said , I am the God of Abraham thy father : fear not , for I am with thee , and will bless thee , and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham ’ s sake . |
26 : 25 And he builded an altar there , and called upon the name of the LORD , and pitched his tent there : and there Isaac ’ s servants digged 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 unto them , Wherefore come ye to me , seeing ye hate me , and have sent me away from you ? 26 : 28 And they said , We saw certainly that the LORD was with thee : and we said , Let there be now an oath betwixt us , even betwixt us and thee , and let us make a covenant with thee ; 26 : 29 That thou wilt do us no hurt , as we have not touched thee , and as we have done unto thee nothing but good , and have sent thee away in peace : thou art 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 sware 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 digged , and said unto him , We have found water . |
26 : 33 And he called it Shebah : therefore the name of the city is Beersheba unto 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 unto Isaac and to Rebekah . |
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 eldest son , and said unto him , My son : and he said unto 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 thee , thy weapons , thy quiver and thy 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 thee before I die . |
27 : 5 And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son . And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison , and to bring it . |
27 : 6 And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son , saying , Behold , I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother , saying , 27 : 7 Bring me venison , and make me savoury meat , that I may eat , and bless thee before the LORD before my death . |
27 : 8 Now therefore , my son , obey my voice according to that which I command thee . |
27 : 9 Go now to the flock , and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats ; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father , such as he loveth : 27 : 10 And thou shalt bring it to thy father , that he may eat , and that he may bless thee 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 upon me , and not a blessing . |
27 : 13 And his mother said unto him , Upon me be thy 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 eldest son Esau , which were with her in the house , and put them upon Jacob her younger son : |
27 : 16 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands , and upon 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 unto his father , and said , My father : and he said , Here am I ; who art thou , my son ? 27 : 19 And Jacob said unto his father , I am Esau thy first born ; I have done according as thou badest me : arise , I pray thee , sit and eat of my venison , that thy soul may bless me . |
27 : 20 And Isaac said unto his son , How is it that thou hast found it so quickly , my son ? And he said , Because the LORD thy God brought it to me . |
27 : 21 And Isaac said unto Jacob , Come near , I pray thee , that I may feel thee , my son , whether thou be my very son Esau or not . |
27 : 22 And Jacob went near unto 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 , Art thou my very son Esau ? And he said , I am . |
