Chapter 16
[Genesis 16:1] Now Sarai, Abram's wife, bore him no children. She had an Egyptian slave-girl whose name was Hagar,
[Genesis 16:2] and Sarai said to Abram, "You see that the LORD has prevented me from bearing children; go in to my slave-girl; it may be that I shall obtain children by her." And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.
[Genesis 16:3] So, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her slave-girl, and gave her to her husband Abram as a wife.
[Genesis 16:4] He went in to Hagar, and she conceived; and when she saw that she had conceived, she looked with contempt on her mistress.
[Genesis 16:5] Then Sarai said to Abram, "May the wrong done to me be on you! I gave my slave-girl to your embrace, and when she saw that she had conceived, she looked on me with contempt. May the LORD judge between you and me!"
[Genesis 16:6] But Abram said to Sarai, "Your slave-girl is in your power; do to her as you please." Then Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she ran away from her.
[Genesis 16:7] The angel of the LORD found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, the spring on the way to Shur.
[Genesis 16:8] And he said, "Hagar, slave-girl of Sarai, where have you come from and where are you going?" She said, "I am running away from my mistress Sarai."
[Genesis 16:9] The angel of the LORD said to her, "Return to your mistress, and submit to her."
[Genesis 16:10] The angel of the LORD also said to her, "I will so greatly multiply your offspring that they cannot be counted for multitude."
[Genesis 16:11] And the angel of the LORD said to her, "Now you have conceived and shall bear a son; you shall call him Ishmael, for the LORD has given heed to your affliction.
[Genesis 16:12] He shall be a wild ass of a man, with his hand against everyone, and everyone's hand against him; and he shall live at odds with all his kin."
[Genesis 16:13] So she named the LORD who spoke to her, "You are El-roi"; for she said, "Have I really seen God and remained alive after seeing him?"
[Genesis 16:14] Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; it lies between Kadesh and Bered.
[Genesis 16:15] Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram named his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.
[Genesis 16:16] Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore him Ishmael.
Chapter 17
[Genesis 17:1] When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said to him, "I am God Almighty; walk before me, and be blameless.
[Genesis 17:2] And I will make my covenant between me and you, and will make you exceedingly numerous."
[Genesis 17:3] Then Abram fell on his face; and God said to him,
[Genesis 17:4] "As for me, this is my covenant with you: You shall be the ancestor of a multitude of nations.
[Genesis 17:5] No longer shall your name be Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you the ancestor of a multitude of nations.
[Genesis 17:6] I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you.
[Genesis 17:7] I will establish my covenant between me and you, and your offspring after you throughout their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your offspring after you.
[Genesis 17:8] And I will give to you, and to your offspring after you, the land where you are now an alien, all the land of Canaan, for a perpetual holding; and I will be their God."
[Genesis 17:9] God said to Abraham, "As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your offspring after you throughout their generations.
[Genesis 17:10] This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your offspring after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised.
[Genesis 17:11] You shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you.
[Genesis 17:12] Throughout your generations every male among you shall be circumcised when he is eight days old, including the slave born in your house and the one bought with your money from any foreigner who is not of your offspring.
[Genesis 17:13] Both the slave born in your house and the one bought with your money must be circumcised. So shall my covenant be in your flesh an everlasting covenant.
[Genesis 17:14] Any uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin shall be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant."
[Genesis 17:15] God said to Abraham, "As for Sarah your wife, you shall not call her Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.
[Genesis 17:16] I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her. I will bless her, and she shall give rise to nations; kings of peoples shall come from her."
[Genesis 17:17] Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said to himself, "Can a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? Can Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?"
[Genesis 17:18] And Abraham said to God, "O that Ishmael might live in your sight!"
[Genesis 17:19] God said, "No, but your wife Sarah shall bear you a son, and you shall name him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his offspring after him.
[Genesis 17:20] As for Ishmael, I have heard you; I will bless him and make him fruitful and exceedingly numerous; he shall be the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.
[Genesis 17:21] But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this season next year."
[Genesis 17:22] And when he had finished talking with him, God went up from Abraham.
[Genesis 17:23] Then Abraham took his son Ishmael and all the slaves born in his house or bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house, and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskins that very day, as God had said to him.
[Genesis 17:24] Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
[Genesis 17:25] And his son Ishmael was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
[Genesis 17:26] That very day Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised;
[Genesis 17:27] and all the men of his house, slaves born in the house and those bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.
Chapter 18
[Genesis 18:1] The LORD appeared to Abraham by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat at the entrance of his tent in the heat of the day.
[Genesis 18:2] He looked up and saw three men standing near him. When he saw them, he ran from the tent entrance to meet them, and bowed down to the ground.
[Genesis 18:3] He said, "My lord, if I find favor with you, do not pass by your servant.
[Genesis 18:4] Let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.
[Genesis 18:5] Let me bring a little bread, that you may refresh yourselves, and after that you may pass on - since you have come to your servant." So they said, "Do as you have said."
[Genesis 18:6] And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, "Make ready quickly three measures of choice flour, knead it, and make cakes. "
[Genesis 18:7] Abraham ran to the herd, and took a calf, tender and good, and gave it to the servant, who hastened to prepare it.
[Genesis 18:8] Then he took curds and milk and the calf that he had prepared, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree while they ate.
[Genesis 18:9] They said to him, "Where is your wife Sarah?" And he said, "There, in the tent."
[Genesis 18:10] Then one said, "I will surely return to you in due season, and your wife Sarah shall have a son." And Sarah was listening at the tent entrance behind him.
[Genesis 18:11] Now Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in age; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
[Genesis 18:12] So Sarah laughed to herself, saying, "After I have grown old, and my husband is old, shall I have pleasure?"
[Genesis 18:13] The LORD said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, and say, 'Shall I indeed bear a child, now that I am old?'
[Genesis 18:14] Is anything too wonderful for the LORD? At the set time I will return to you, in due season, and Sarah shall have a son."
[Genesis 18:15] But Sarah denied, saying, "I did not laugh"; for she was afraid. He said, "Oh yes, you did laugh."
[Genesis 18:16] Then the men set out from there, and they looked toward Sodom; and Abraham went with them to set them on their way.
[Genesis 18:17] The LORD said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do,
[Genesis 18:18] seeing that Abraham shall become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
[Genesis 18:19] No, for I have chosen him, that he may charge his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing righteousness and justice; so that the LORD may bring about for Abraham what he has promised him."
[Genesis 18:20] Then the LORD said, "How great is the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah and how very grave their sin!
[Genesis 18:21] I must go down and see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry that has come to me; and if not, I will know."
[Genesis 18:22] So the men turned from there, and went toward Sodom, while Abraham remained standing before the LORD.
[Genesis 18:23] Then Abraham came near and said, "Will you indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked?
[Genesis 18:24] Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city; will you then sweep away the place and not forgive it for the fifty righteous who are in it?
[Genesis 18:25] Far be it from you to do such a thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous fare as the wicked! Far be that from you! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do what is just?"
[Genesis 18:26] And the LORD said, "If I find at Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will forgive the whole place for their sake."
[Genesis 18:27] Abraham answered, "Let me take it upon myself to speak to the Lord, I who am but dust and ashes.
[Genesis 18:28] Suppose five of the fifty righteous are lacking? Will you destroy the whole city for lack of five?" And he said, "I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there."
[Genesis 18:29] Again he spoke to him, "Suppose forty are found there." He answered, "For the sake of forty I will not do it."
[Genesis 18:30] Then he said, "Oh do not let the Lord be angry if I speak. Suppose thirty are found there." He answered, "I will not do it, if I find thirty there."
[Genesis 18:31] He said, "Let me take it upon myself to speak to the Lord. Suppose twenty are found there." He answered, "For the sake of twenty I will not destroy it."
[Genesis 18:32] Then he said, "Oh do not let the Lord be angry if I speak just once more. Suppose ten are found there." He answered, "For the sake of ten I will not destroy it."
[Genesis 18:33] And the LORD went his way, when he had finished speaking to Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place.
Chapter 19
[Genesis 19:1] The two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them, and bowed down with his face to the ground.
[Genesis 19:2] He said, "Please, my lords, turn aside to your servant's house and spend the night, and wash your feet; then you can rise early and go on your way." They said, "No; we will spend the night in the square. "
[Genesis 19:3] But he urged them strongly; so they turned aside to him and entered his house; and he made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
[Genesis 19:4] But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both young and old, all the people to the last man, surrounded the house;
[Genesis 19:5] and they called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, so that we may know them."
[Genesis 19:6] Lot went out of the door to the men, shut the door after him,
[Genesis 19:7] and said, "I beg you, my brothers, do not act so wickedly.
[Genesis 19:8] Look, I have two daughters who have not known a man; let me bring them out to you, and do to them as you please; only do nothing to these men, for they have come under the shelter of my roof."
[Genesis 19:9] But they replied, "Stand back!" And they said, "This fellow came here as an alien, and he would play the judge! Now we will deal worse with you than with them." Then they pressed hard against the man Lot, and came near the door to break it down.
[Genesis 19:10] But the men inside reached out their hands and brought Lot into the house with them, and shut the door.
[Genesis 19:11] And they struck with blindness the men who were at the door of the house, both small and great, so that they were unable to find the door.
[Genesis 19:12] Then the men said to Lot, "Have you anyone else here? Sons-in- law, sons, daughters, or anyone you have in the city - bring them out of the place.
[Genesis 19:13] For we are about to destroy this place, because the outcry against its people has become great before the LORD, and the LORD has sent us to destroy it."
[Genesis 19:14] So Lot went out and said to his sons-in-law, who were to marry his daughters, "Up, get out of this place; for the LORD is about to destroy the city." But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be jesting.
[Genesis 19:15] When morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, "Get up, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or else you will be consumed in the punishment of the city."
[Genesis 19:16] But he lingered; so the men seized him and his wife and his two daughters by the hand, the LORD being merciful to him, and they brought him out and left him outside the city.
[Genesis 19:17] When they had brought them outside, they said, "Flee for your life; do not look back or stop anywhere in the Plain; flee to the hills, or else you will be consumed."
[Genesis 19:18] And Lot said to them, "Oh, no, my lords;
[Genesis 19:19] your servant has found favor with you, and you have shown me great kindness in saving my life; but I cannot flee to the hills, for fear the disaster will overtake me and I die.
[Genesis 19:20] Look, that city is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one. Let me escape there - is it not a little one?- and my life will be saved!"
[Genesis 19:21] He said to him, "Very well, I grant you this favor too, and will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken.
[Genesis 19:22] Hurry, escape there, for I can do nothing until you arrive there." Therefore the city was called Zoar.
[Genesis 19:23] The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
[Genesis 19:24] Then the LORD rained on Sodom and Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
[Genesis 19:25] and he overthrew those cities, and all the Plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground.
[Genesis 19:26] But Lot's wife, behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
[Genesis 19:27] Abraham went early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the LORD;
[Genesis 19:28] and he looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah and toward all the land of the Plain and saw the smoke of the land going up like the smoke of a furnace.
[Genesis 19:29] So it was that, when God destroyed the cities of the Plain, God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot had settled.
[Genesis 19:30] Now Lot went up out of Zoar and settled in the hills with his two daughters, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar; so he lived in a cave with his two daughters.
[Genesis 19:31] And the firstborn said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is not a man on earth to come in to us after the manner of all the world.
[Genesis 19:32] Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, so that we may preserve offspring through our father."
[Genesis 19:33] So they made their father drink wine that night; and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; he did not know when she lay down or when she rose.
[Genesis 19:34] On the next day, the firstborn said to the younger, "Look, I lay last night with my father; let us make him drink wine tonight also; then you go in and lie with him, so that we may preserve offspring through our father."
[Genesis 19:35] So they made their father drink wine that night also; and the younger rose, and lay with him; and he did not know when she lay down or when she rose.
[Genesis 19:36] Thus both the daughters of Lot became pregnant by their father.
[Genesis 19:37] The firstborn bore a son, and named him Moab; he is the ancestor of the Moabites to this day.
[Genesis 19:38] The younger also bore a son and named him Ben-ammi; he is the ancestor of the Ammonites to this day.
Chapter 20
[Genesis 20:1] From there Abraham journeyed toward the region of the Negeb, and settled between Kadesh and Shur. While residing in Gerar as an alien,
[Genesis 20:2] Abraham said of his wife Sarah, "She is my sister." And King Abimelech of Gerar sent and took Sarah.
[Genesis 20:3] But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, "You are about to die because of the woman whom you have taken; for she is a married woman."
[Genesis 20:4] Now Abimelech had not approached her; so he said, "Lord, will you destroy an innocent people?
[Genesis 20:5] Did he not himself say to me, 'She is my sister'? And she herself said, 'He is my brother.' I did this in the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands."
[Genesis 20:6] Then God said to him in the dream, "Yes, I know that you did this in the integrity of your heart; furthermore it was I who kept you from sinning against me. Therefore I did not let you touch her.
[Genesis 20:7] Now then, return the man's wife; for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you shall live. But if you do not restore her, know that you shall surely die, you and all that are yours."
[Genesis 20:8] So Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants and told them all these things; and the men were very much afraid.
[Genesis 20:9] Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, "What have you done to us? How have I sinned against you, that you have brought such great guilt on me and my kingdom? You have done things to me that ought not to be done."
[Genesis 20:10] And Abimelech said to Abraham, "What were you thinking of, that you did this thing?"
[Genesis 20:11] Abraham said, "I did it because I thought, There is no fear of God at all in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.
[Genesis 20:12] Besides, she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
[Genesis 20:13] And when God caused me to wander from my father's house, I said to her, 'This is the kindness you must do me: at every place to which we come, say of me, He is my brother.'"
[Genesis 20:14] Then Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and male and female slaves, and gave them to Abraham, and restored his wife Sarah to him.
[Genesis 20:15] Abimelech said, "My land is before you; settle where it pleases you."
[Genesis 20:16] To Sarah he said, "Look, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver; it is your exoneration before all who are with you; you are completely vindicated."
[Genesis 20:17] Then Abraham prayed to God; and God healed Abimelech, and also healed his wife and female slaves so that they bore children.
[Genesis 20:18] For the LORD had closed fast all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
Chapter 21
[Genesis 21:1] The LORD dealt with Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did for Sarah as he had promised.
[Genesis 21:2] Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the time of which God had spoken to him.
[Genesis 21:3] Abraham gave the name Isaac to his son whom Sarah bore him.
[Genesis 21:4] And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
[Genesis 21:5] Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
[Genesis 21:6] Now Sarah said, "God has brought laughter for me; everyone who hears will laugh with me."
[Genesis 21:7] And she said, "Who would ever have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age."
[Genesis 21:8] The child grew, and was weaned; and Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
[Genesis 21:9] But Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, playing with her son Isaac.
[Genesis 21:10] So she said to Abraham, "Cast out this slave woman with her son; for the son of this slave woman shall not inherit along with my son Isaac."
[Genesis 21:11] The matter was very distressing to Abraham on account of his son.
[Genesis 21:12] But God said to Abraham, "Do not be distressed because of the boy and because of your slave woman; whatever Sarah says to you, do as she tells you, for it is through Isaac that offspring shall be named for you.
[Genesis 21:13] As for the son of the slave woman, I will make a nation of him also, because he is your offspring."
[Genesis 21:14] So Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread and a skin of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, along with the child, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered about in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
[Genesis 21:15] When the water in the skin was gone, she cast the child under one of the bushes.
[Genesis 21:16] Then she went and sat down opposite him a good way off, about the distance of a bowshot; for she said, "Do not let me look on the death of the child." And as she sat opposite him, she lifted up her voice and wept.
[Genesis 21:17] And God heard the voice of the boy; and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, and said to her, "What troubles you, Hagar? Do not be afraid; for God has heard the voice of the boy where he is.
[Genesis 21:18] Come, lift up the boy and hold him fast with your hand, for I will make a great nation of him."
[Genesis 21:19] Then God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water. She went, and filled the skin with water, and gave the boy a drink.
[Genesis 21:20] God was with the boy, and he grew up; he lived in the wilderness, and became an expert with the bow.
[Genesis 21:21] He lived in the wilderness of Paran; and his mother got a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
[Genesis 21:22] At that time Abimelech, with Phicol the commander of his army, said to Abraham, "God is with you in all that you do;
[Genesis 21:23] now therefore swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me or with my offspring or with my posterity, but as I have dealt loyally with you, you will deal with me and with the land where you have resided as an alien."
[Genesis 21:24] And Abraham said, "I swear it."
[Genesis 21:25] When Abraham complained to Abimelech about a well of water that Abimelech's servants had seized,
[Genesis 21:26] Abimelech said, "I do not know who has done this; you did not tell me, and I have not heard of it until today."
[Genesis 21:27] So Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a covenant.
[Genesis 21:28] Abraham set apart seven ewe lambs of the flock.
[Genesis 21:29] And Abimelech said to Abraham, "What is the meaning of these seven ewe lambs that you have set apart?"
[Genesis 21:30] He said, "These seven ewe lambs you shall accept from my hand, in order that you may be a witness for me that I dug this well."
[Genesis 21:31] Therefore that place was called Beer-sheba; because there both of them swore an oath.
[Genesis 21:32] When they had made a covenant at Beer-sheba, Abimelech, with Phicol the commander of his army, left and returned to the land of the Philistines.
[Genesis 21:33] Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.
[Genesis 21:34] And Abraham resided as an alien many days in the land of the Philistines.
Chapter 22
[Genesis 22:1] After these things God tested Abraham. He said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
[Genesis 22:2] He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I shall show you."
[Genesis 22:3] So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and his son Isaac; he cut the wood for the burnt offering, and set out and went to the place in the distance that God had shown him.
[Genesis 22:4] On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place far away.
[Genesis 22:5] Then Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey; the boy and I will go over there; we will worship, and then we will come back to you."
[Genesis 22:6] Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. So the two of them walked on together.
[Genesis 22:7] Isaac said to his father Abraham, "Father!" And he said, "Here I am, my son." He said, "The fire and the wood are here, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?"
[Genesis 22:8] Abraham said, "God himself will provide the lamb for a burnt offering, my son." So the two of them walked on together.
[Genesis 22:9] When they came to the place that God had shown him, Abraham built an altar there and laid the wood in order. He bound his son Isaac, and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.
[Genesis 22:10] Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to kill his son.
[Genesis 22:11] But the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven, and said, "Abraham, Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
[Genesis 22:12] He said, "Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me."
[Genesis 22:13] And Abraham looked up and saw a ram, caught in a thicket by its horns. Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son.
[Genesis 22:14] So Abraham called that place "The LORD will provide"; as it is said to this day, "On the mount of the LORD it shall be provided."
[Genesis 22:15] The angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time from heaven,
[Genesis 22:16] and said, "By myself I have sworn, says the LORD: Because you have done this, and have not withheld your son, your only son,
[Genesis 22:17] I will indeed bless you, and I will make your offspring as numerous as the stars of heaven and as the sand that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possess the gate of their enemies,
[Genesis 22:18] and by your offspring shall all the nations of the earth gain blessing for themselves, because you have obeyed my voice."
[Genesis 22:19] So Abraham returned to his young men, and they arose and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham lived at Beer-sheba.
[Genesis 22:20] Now after these things it was told Abraham, "Milcah also has borne children, to your brother Nahor:
[Genesis 22:21] Uz the firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
[Genesis 22:22] Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel."
[Genesis 22:23] Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
[Genesis 22:24] Moreover, his concubine, whose name was Reumah, bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
Chapter 23
[Genesis 23:1] Sarah lived one hundred twenty-seven years; this was the length of Sarah's life.
[Genesis 23:2] And Sarah died at Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan; and Abraham went in to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her.
[Genesis 23:3] Abraham rose up from beside his dead, and said to the Hittites,
[Genesis 23:4] "I am a stranger and an alien residing among you; give me property among you for a burying place, so that I may bury my dead out of my sight."
[Genesis 23:5] The Hittites answered Abraham,
[Genesis 23:6] "Hear us, my lord; you are a mighty prince among us. Bury your dead in the choicest of our burial places; none of us will withhold from you any burial ground for burying your dead."
[Genesis 23:7] Abraham rose and bowed to the Hittites, the people of the land.
[Genesis 23:8] He said to them, "If you are willing that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and entreat for me Ephron son of Zohar,
[Genesis 23:9] so that he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he owns; it is at the end of his field. For the full price let him give it to me in your presence as a possession for a burying place."
[Genesis 23:10] Now Ephron was sitting among the Hittites; and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the Hittites, of all who went in at the gate of his city,
[Genesis 23:11] "No, my lord, hear me; I give you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it; in the presence of my people I give it to you; bury your dead."
[Genesis 23:12] Then Abraham bowed down before the people of the land.
[Genesis 23:13] He said to Ephron in the hearing of the people of the land, "If you only will listen to me! I will give the price of the field; accept it from me, so that I may bury my dead there."
[Genesis 23:14] Ephron answered Abraham,
[Genesis 23:15] "My lord, listen to me; a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver - what is that between you and me? Bury your dead."
[Genesis 23:16] Abraham agreed with Ephron; and Abraham weighed out for Ephron the silver that he had named in the hearing of the Hittites, four hundred shekels of silver, according to the weights current among the merchants.
[Genesis 23:17] So the field of Ephron in Machpelah, which was to the east of Mamre, the field with the cave that was in it and all the trees that were in the field, throughout its whole area, passed
[Genesis 23:18] to Abraham as a possession in the presence of the Hittites, in the presence of all who went in at the gate of his city.
[Genesis 23:19] After this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah facing Mamre (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan.
[Genesis 23:20] The field and the cave that is in it passed from the Hittites into Abraham's possession as a burying place.
Chapter 24
[Genesis 24:1] Now Abraham was old, well advanced in years; and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
[Genesis 24:2] Abraham said to his servant, the oldest of his house, who had charge of all that he had, "Put your hand under my thigh
[Genesis 24:3] and I will make you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and earth, that you will not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I live,
[Genesis 24:4] but will go to my country and to my kindred and get a wife for my son Isaac."
[Genesis 24:5] The servant said to him, "Perhaps the woman may not be willing to follow me to this land; must I then take your son back to the land from which you came?"
[Genesis 24:6] Abraham said to him, "See to it that you do not take my son back there.
[Genesis 24:7] The LORD, the God of heaven, who took me from my father's house and from the land of my birth, and who spoke to me and swore to me, 'To your offspring I will give this land,' he will send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.
[Genesis 24:8] But if the woman is not willing to follow you, then you will be free from this oath of mine; only you must not take my son back there."
[Genesis 24:9] So the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master and swore to him concerning this matter.
[Genesis 24:10] Then the servant took ten of his master's camels and departed, taking all kinds of choice gifts from his master; and he set out and went to Aram-naharaim, to the city of Nahor.
[Genesis 24:11] He made the camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water; it was toward evening, the time when women go out to draw water.
[Genesis 24:12] And he said, "O LORD, God of my master Abraham, please grant me success today and show steadfast love to my master Abraham.
[Genesis 24:13] I am standing here by the spring of water, and the daughters of the townspeople are coming out to draw water.
[Genesis 24:14] Let the girl to whom I shall say, 'Please offer your jar that I may drink,' and who shall say, 'Drink, and I will water your camels' - let her be the one whom you have appointed for your servant Isaac. By this I shall know that you have shown steadfast love to my master."
[Genesis 24:15] Before he had finished speaking, there was Rebekah, who was born to Bethuel son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, coming out with her water jar on her shoulder.
[Genesis 24:16] The girl was very fair to look upon, a virgin, whom no man had known. She went down to the spring, filled her jar, and came up.
[Genesis 24:17] Then the servant ran to meet her and said, "Please let me sip a little water from your jar."
[Genesis 24:18] "Drink, my lord," she said, and quickly lowered her jar upon her hand and gave him a drink.
[Genesis 24:19] When she had finished giving him a drink, she said, "I will draw for your camels also, until they have finished drinking."
[Genesis 24:20] So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough and ran again to the well to draw, and she drew for all his camels.
[Genesis 24:21] The man gazed at her in silence to learn whether or not the LORD had made his journey successful.
[Genesis 24:22] When the camels had finished drinking, the man took a gold nose- ring weighing a half shekel, and two bracelets for her arms weighing ten gold shekels,
[Genesis 24:23] and said, "Tell me whose daughter you are. Is there room in your father's house for us to spend the night?"
[Genesis 24:24] She said to him, "I am the daughter of Bethuel son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor."
[Genesis 24:25] She added, "We have plenty of straw and fodder and a place to spend the night."
[Genesis 24:26] The man bowed his head and worshiped the LORD
[Genesis 24:27] and said, "Blessed be the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his steadfast love and his faithfulness toward my master. As for me, the LORD has led me on the way to the house of my master's kin."
[Genesis 24:28] Then the girl ran and told her mother's household about these things.
[Genesis 24:29] Rebekah had a brother whose name was Laban; and Laban ran out to the man, to the spring.
[Genesis 24:30] As soon as he had seen the nose-ring, and the bracelets on his sister's arms, and when he heard the words of his sister Rebekah, "Thus the man spoke to me," he went to the man; and there he was, standing by the camels at the spring.
[Genesis 24:31] He said, "Come in, O blessed of the LORD. Why do you stand outside when I have prepared the house and a place for the camels?"
[Genesis 24:32] So the man came into the house; and Laban unloaded the camels, and gave him straw and fodder for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.
[Genesis 24:33] Then food was set before him to eat; but he said, "I will not eat until I have told my errand." He said, "Speak on."
[Genesis 24:34] So he said, "I am Abraham's servant.
[Genesis 24:35] The LORD has greatly blessed my master, and he has become wealthy; he has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male and female slaves, camels and donkeys.
[Genesis 24:36] And Sarah my master's wife bore a son to my master when she was old; and he has given him all that he has.
[Genesis 24:37] My master made me swear, saying, 'You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I live;
[Genesis 24:38] but you shall go to my father's house, to my kindred, and get a wife for my son.'
[Genesis 24:39] I said to my master, 'Perhaps the woman will not follow me.'
[Genesis 24:40] But he said to me, 'The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you and make your way successful. You shall get a wife for my son from my kindred, from my father's house.
[Genesis 24:41] Then you will be free from my oath, when you come to my kindred; even if they will not give her to you, you will be free from my oath.'
[Genesis 24:42] "I came today to the spring, and said, 'O LORD, the God of my master Abraham, if now you will only make successful the way I am going!
[Genesis 24:43] I am standing here by the spring of water; let the young woman who comes out to draw, to whom I shall say, "Please give me a little water from your jar to drink,"
[Genesis 24:44] and who will say to me, "Drink, and I will draw for your camels also"- let her be the woman whom the LORD has appointed for my master's son.'
[Genesis 24:45] "Before I had finished speaking in my heart, there was Rebekah coming out with her water jar on her shoulder; and she went down to the spring, and drew. I said to her, 'Please let me drink.'
[Genesis 24:46] She quickly let down her jar from her shoulder, and said, 'Drink, and I will also water your camels.' So I drank, and she also watered the camels.
[Genesis 24:47] Then I asked her, 'Whose daughter are you?' She said, 'The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him.' So I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her arms.
[Genesis 24:48] Then I bowed my head and worshiped the LORD, and blessed the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me by the right way to obtain the daughter of my master's kinsman for his son.
[Genesis 24:49] Now then, if you will deal loyally and truly with my master, tell me; and if not, tell me, so that I may turn either to the right hand or to the left."
[Genesis 24:50] Then Laban and Bethuel answered, "The thing comes from the LORD; we cannot speak to you anything bad or good.
[Genesis 24:51] Look, Rebekah is before you, take her and go, and let her be the wife of your master's son, as the LORD has spoken."
[Genesis 24:52] When Abraham's servant heard their words, he bowed himself to the ground before the LORD.
[Genesis 24:53] And the servant brought out jewelry of silver and of gold, and garments, and gave them to Rebekah; he also gave to her brother and to her mother costly ornaments.
[Genesis 24:54] Then he and the men who were with him ate and drank, and they spent the night there. When they rose in the morning, he said, "Send me back to my master."
[Genesis 24:55] Her brother and her mother said, "Let the girl remain with us a while, at least ten days; after that she may go."
[Genesis 24:56] But he said to them, "Do not delay me, since the LORD has made my journey successful; let me go that I may go to my master."
[Genesis 24:57] They said, "We will call the girl, and ask her."
[Genesis 24:58] And they called Rebekah, and said to her, "Will you go with this man?" She said, "I will."
[Genesis 24:59] So they sent away their sister Rebekah and her nurse along with Abraham's servant and his men.
[Genesis 24:60] And they blessed Rebekah and said to her, "May you, our sister, become thousands of myriads; may your offspring gain possession of the gates of their foes."
[Genesis 24:61] Then Rebekah and her maids rose up, mounted the camels, and followed the man; thus the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
[Genesis 24:62] Now Isaac had come from Beer-lahai-roi, and was settled in the Negeb.
[Genesis 24:63] Isaac went out in the evening to walk in the field; and looking up, he saw camels coming.
[Genesis 24:64] And Rebekah looked up, and when she saw Isaac, she slipped quickly from the camel,
[Genesis 24:65] and said to the servant, "Who is the man over there, walking in the field to meet us?" The servant said, "It is my master." So she took her veil and covered herself.
[Genesis 24:66] And the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.
[Genesis 24:67] Then Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent. He took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.
Chapter 25
[Genesis 25:1] Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah.
[Genesis 25:2] She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
[Genesis 25:3] Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.
[Genesis 25:4] The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
[Genesis 25:5] Abraham gave all he had to Isaac.
[Genesis 25:6] But to the sons of his concubines Abraham gave gifts, while he was still living, and he sent them away from his son Isaac, eastward to the east country.
[Genesis 25:7] This is the length of Abraham's life, one hundred seventy-five years.
[Genesis 25:8] Abraham breathed his last and died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and was gathered to his people.
[Genesis 25:9] His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite, east of Mamre,
[Genesis 25:10] the field that Abraham purchased from the Hittites. There Abraham was buried, with his wife Sarah.
[Genesis 25:11] After the death of Abraham God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac settled at Beer-lahai-roi.
[Genesis 25:12] These are the descendants of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's slave-girl, bore to Abraham.
[Genesis 25:13] These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, named in the order of their birth: Nebaioth, the firstborn of Ishmael; and Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
[Genesis 25:14] Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
[Genesis 25:15] Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
[Genesis 25:16] These are the sons of Ishmael and these are their names, by their villages and by their encampments, twelve princes according to their tribes.
[Genesis 25:17] (This is the length of the life of Ishmael, one hundred thirty- seven years; he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.)
[Genesis 25:18] They settled from Havilah to Shur, which is opposite Egypt in the direction of Assyria; he settled down alongside of all his people.
[Genesis 25:19] These are the descendants of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham was the father of Isaac,
[Genesis 25:20] and Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah, daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-aram, sister of Laban the Aramean.
[Genesis 25:21] Isaac prayed to the LORD for his wife, because she was barren; and the LORD granted his prayer, and his wife Rebekah conceived.
[Genesis 25:22] The children struggled together within her; and she said, "If it is to be this way, why do I live?" So she went to inquire of the LORD.
[Genesis 25:23] And the LORD said to her, "Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples born of you shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the elder shall serve the younger."
[Genesis 25:24] When her time to give birth was at hand, there were twins in her womb.
[Genesis 25:25] The first came out red, all his body like a hairy mantle; so they named him Esau.
[Genesis 25:26] Afterward his brother came out, with his hand gripping Esau's heel; so he was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.
[Genesis 25:27] When the boys grew up, Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.
[Genesis 25:28] Isaac loved Esau, because he was fond of game; but Rebekah loved Jacob.
[Genesis 25:29] Once when Jacob was cooking a stew, Esau came in from the field, and he was famished.
[Genesis 25:30] Esau said to Jacob, "Let me eat some of that red stuff, for I am famished!" (Therefore he was called Edom.)
[Genesis 25:31] Jacob said, "First sell me your birthright."
[Genesis 25:32] Esau said, "I am about to die; of what use is a birthright to me?"
[Genesis 25:33] Jacob said, "Swear to me first." So he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob.
[Genesis 25:34] Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew, and he ate and drank, and rose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.
Chapter 26
[Genesis 26:1] Now there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine that had occurred in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Gerar, to King Abimelech of the Philistines.
[Genesis 26:2] The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, "Do not go down to Egypt; settle in the land that I shall show you.
[Genesis 26:3] Reside in this land as an alien, and I will be with you, and will bless you; for to you and to your descendants I will give all these lands, and I will fulfill the oath that I swore to your father Abraham.
[Genesis 26:4] I will make your offspring as numerous as the stars of heaven, and will give to your offspring all these lands; and all the nations of the earth shall gain blessing for themselves through your offspring,
[Genesis 26:5] because Abraham obeyed my voice and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws."
[Genesis 26:6] So Isaac settled in Gerar.
[Genesis 26:7] When the men of the place asked him about his wife, he said, "She is my sister"; for he was afraid to say, "My wife," thinking, "or else the men of the place might kill me for the sake of Rebekah, because she is attractive in appearance."
[Genesis 26:8] When Isaac had been there a long time, King Abimelech of the Philistines looked out of a window and saw him fondling his wife Rebekah.
[Genesis 26:9] So Abimelech called for Isaac, and said, "So she is your wife! Why then did you say, 'She is my sister'?" Isaac said to him, "Because I thought I might die because of her."
[Genesis 26:10] Abimelech said, "What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us."
[Genesis 26:11] So Abimelech warned all the people, saying, "Whoever touches this man or his wife shall be put to death."
[Genesis 26:12] Isaac sowed seed in that land, and in the same year reaped a hundredfold. The LORD blessed him,
[Genesis 26:13] and the man became rich; he prospered more and more until he became very wealthy.
[Genesis 26:14] He had possessions of flocks and herds, and a great household, so that the Philistines envied him.
[Genesis 26:15] (Now the Philistines had stopped up and filled with earth all the wells that his father's servants had dug in the days of his father Abraham.)
[Genesis 26:16] And Abimelech said to Isaac, "Go away from us; you have become too powerful for us."
[Genesis 26:17] So Isaac departed from there and camped in the valley of Gerar and settled there.
[Genesis 26:18] Isaac dug again the wells of water that had been dug in the days of his father Abraham; for the Philistines had stopped them up after the death of Abraham; and he gave them the names that his father had given them.
[Genesis 26:19] But when Isaac's servants dug in the valley and found there a well of spring water,
[Genesis 26:20] the herders of Gerar quarreled with Isaac's herders, saying, "The water is ours." So he called the well Esek, because they contended with him.
[Genesis 26:21] Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that one also; so he called it Sitnah.
[Genesis 26:22] He moved from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it; so he called it Rehoboth, saying, "Now the LORD has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land."
[Genesis 26:23] From there he went up to Beer-sheba.
[Genesis 26:24] And that very night the LORD appeared to him and said, "I am the God of your father Abraham; do not be afraid, for I am with you and will bless you and make your offspring numerous for my servant Abraham's sake."
[Genesis 26:25] So he built an altar there, called on the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there. And there Isaac's servants dug a well.
[Genesis 26:26] Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his adviser and Phicol the commander of his army.
[Genesis 26:27] Isaac said to them, "Why have you come to me, seeing that you hate me and have sent me away from you?"
[Genesis 26:28] They said, "We see plainly that the LORD has been with you; so we say, let there be an oath between you and us, and let us make a covenant with you
[Genesis 26:29] so that you will do us no harm, just as we have not touched you and have done to you nothing but good and have sent you away in peace. You are now the blessed of the LORD."
[Genesis 26:30] So he made them a feast, and they ate and drank.
[Genesis 26:31] In the morning they rose early and exchanged oaths; and Isaac set them on their way, and they departed from him in peace.
[Genesis 26:32] That same day Isaac's servants came and told him about the well that they had dug, and said to him, "We have found water!"
[Genesis 26:33] He called it Shibah; therefore the name of the city is Beer- sheba to this day.
[Genesis 26:34] When Esau was forty years old, he married Judith daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath daughter of Elon the Hittite;
[Genesis 26:35] and they made life bitter for Isaac and Rebekah.
Chapter 27
[Genesis 27:1] When Isaac was old and his eyes were dim so that he could not see, he called his elder son Esau and said to him, "My son"; and he answered, "Here I am."
[Genesis 27:2] He said, "See, I am old; I do not know the day of my death.
[Genesis 27:3] Now then, take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and hunt game for me.
[Genesis 27:4] Then prepare for me savory food, such as I like, and bring it to me to eat, so that I may bless you before I die."
[Genesis 27:5] Now Rebekah was listening when Isaac spoke to his son Esau. So when Esau went to the field to hunt for game and bring it,
[Genesis 27:6] Rebekah said to her son Jacob, "I heard your father say to your brother Esau,
[Genesis 27:7] 'Bring me game, and prepare for me savory food to eat, that I may bless you before the LORD before I die.'
[Genesis 27:8] Now therefore, my son, obey my word as I command you.
[Genesis 27:9] Go to the flock, and get me two choice kids, so that I may prepare from them savory food for your father, such as he likes;
[Genesis 27:10] and you shall take it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before he dies."
[Genesis 27:11] But Jacob said to his mother Rebekah, "Look, my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I am a man of smooth skin.
[Genesis 27:12] Perhaps my father will feel me, and I shall seem to be mocking him, and bring a curse on myself and not a blessing."
[Genesis 27:13] His mother said to him, "Let your curse be on me, my son; only obey my word, and go, get them for me."
[Genesis 27:14] So he went and got them and brought them to his mother; and his mother prepared savory food, such as his father loved.
[Genesis 27:15] Then Rebekah took the best garments of her elder son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them on her younger son Jacob;
[Genesis 27:16] and she put the skins of the kids on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.
[Genesis 27:17] Then she handed the savory food, and the bread that she had prepared, to her son Jacob.
[Genesis 27:18] So he went in to his father, and said, "My father"; and he said, "Here I am; who are you, my son?"
[Genesis 27:19] Jacob said to his father, "I am Esau your firstborn. I have done as you told me; now sit up and eat of my game, so that you may bless me."
[Genesis 27:20] But Isaac said to his son, "How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?" He answered, "Because the LORD your God granted me success."
[Genesis 27:21] Then Isaac said to Jacob, "Come near, that I may feel you, my son, to know whether you are really my son Esau or not."
[Genesis 27:22] So Jacob went up to his father Isaac, who felt him and said, "The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau."
[Genesis 27:23] He did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau's hands; so he blessed him.
[Genesis 27:24] He said, "Are you really my son Esau?" He answered, "I am."
[Genesis 27:25] Then he said, "Bring it to me, that I may eat of my son's game and bless you." So he brought it to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank.
[Genesis 27:26] Then his father Isaac said to him, "Come near and kiss me, my son."
[Genesis 27:27] So he came near and kissed him; and he smelled the smell of his garments, and blessed him, and said, "Ah, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that the LORD has blessed.
[Genesis 27:28] May God give you of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and wine.
[Genesis 27:29] Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, and may your mother's sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you, and blessed be everyone who blesses you!"
[Genesis 27:30] As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, when Jacob had scarcely gone out from the presence of his father Isaac, his brother Esau came in from his hunting.
[Genesis 27:31] He also prepared savory food, and brought it to his father. And he said to his father, "Let my father sit up and eat of his son's game, so that you may bless me."
[Genesis 27:32] His father Isaac said to him, "Who are you?" He answered, "I am your firstborn son, Esau."
[Genesis 27:33] Then Isaac trembled violently, and said, "Who was it then that hunted game and brought it to me, and I ate it all before you came, and I have blessed him? - yes, and blessed he shall be!"
[Genesis 27:34] When Esau heard his father's words, he cried out with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, "Bless me, me also, father!"
[Genesis 27:35] But he said, "Your brother came deceitfully, and he has taken away your blessing."
[Genesis 27:36] Esau said, "Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright; and look, now he has taken away my blessing." Then he said, "Have you not reserved a blessing for me?"
[Genesis 27:37] Isaac answered Esau, "I have already made him your lord, and I have given him all his brothers as servants, and with grain and wine I have sustained him. What then can I do for you, my son?"
[Genesis 27:38] Esau said to his father, "Have you only one blessing, father? Bless me, me also, father!" And Esau lifted up his voice and wept.
[Genesis 27:39] Then his father Isaac answered him: "See, away from the fatness of the earth shall your home be, and away from the dew of heaven on high.
[Genesis 27:40] By your sword you shall live, and you shall serve your brother; but when you break loose, you shall break his yoke from your neck."
[Genesis 27:41] Now Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him, and Esau said to himself, "The days of mourning for my father are approaching; then I will kill my brother Jacob."
[Genesis 27:42] But the words of her elder son Esau were told to Rebekah; so she sent and called her younger son Jacob and said to him, "Your brother Esau is consoling himself by planning to kill you.
[Genesis 27:43] Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; flee at once to my brother Laban in Haran,
[Genesis 27:44] and stay with him a while, until your brother's fury turns away -
[Genesis 27:45] until your brother's anger against you turns away, and he forgets what you have done to him; then I will send, and bring you back from there. Why should I lose both of you in one day?"
[Genesis 27:46] Then Rebekah said to Isaac, "I am weary of my life because of the Hittite women. If Jacob marries one of the Hittite women such as these, one of the women of the land, what good will my life be to me?"
Chapter 28
[Genesis 28:1] Then Isaac called Jacob and blessed him, and charged him, "You shall not marry one of the Canaanite women.
[Genesis 28:2] Go at once to Paddan-aram to the house of Bethuel, your mother's father; and take as wife from there one of the daughters of Laban, your mother's brother.
[Genesis 28:3] May God Almighty bless you and make you fruitful and numerous, that you may become a company of peoples.
[Genesis 28:4] May he give to you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your offspring with you, so that you may take possession of the land where you now live as an alien-land that God gave to Abraham."
[Genesis 28:5] Thus Isaac sent Jacob away; and he went to Paddan-aram, to Laban son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
[Genesis 28:6] Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan-aram to take a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he charged him, "You shall not marry one of the Canaanite women,"
[Genesis 28:7] and that Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother and gone to Paddan-aram.
[Genesis 28:8] So when Esau saw that the Canaanite women did not please his father Isaac,
[Genesis 28:9] Esau went to Ishmael and took Mahalath daughter of Abraham's son Ishmael, and sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife in addition to the wives he had.
[Genesis 28:10] Jacob left Beer-sheba and went toward Haran.
[Genesis 28:11] He came to a certain place and stayed there for the night, because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones of the place, he put it under his head and lay down in that place.
[Genesis 28:12] And he dreamed that there was a ladder set up on the earth, the top of it reaching to heaven; and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.
[Genesis 28:13] And the LORD stood beside him and said, "I am the LORD, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and to your offspring;
[Genesis 28:14] and your offspring shall be like 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 all the families of the earth shall be blessed in you and in your offspring.
[Genesis 28:15] Know that I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you."
[Genesis 28:16] Then Jacob woke from his sleep and said, "Surely the LORD is in this place - and I did not know it!"
[Genesis 28:17] And he was afraid, and said, "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven."
[Genesis 28:18] So Jacob rose early in the morning, and he took the stone that he had put under his head and set it up for a pillar and poured oil on the top of it.
[Genesis 28:19] He called that place Bethel; but the name of the city was Luz at the first.
[Genesis 28:20] Then Jacob made 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 clothing to wear,
[Genesis 28:21] so that I come again to my father's house in peace, then the LORD shall be my God,
[Genesis 28:22] and this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be God's house; and of all that you give me I will surely give one tenth to you."
Chapter 29
[Genesis 29:1] Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the people of the east.
[Genesis 29:2] As he looked, he saw a well in the field and three flocks of sheep lying there beside it; for out of that well the flocks were watered. The stone on the well's mouth was large,
[Genesis 29:3] and when all the flocks were gathered there, the shepherds would roll the stone from the mouth of the well, and water the sheep, and put the stone back in its place on the mouth of the well.
[Genesis 29:4] Jacob said to them, "My brothers, where do you come from?" They said, "We are from Haran."
[Genesis 29:5] He said to them, "Do you know Laban son of Nahor?" They said, "We do."
[Genesis 29:6] He said to them, "Is it well with him?" "Yes," they replied, "and here is his daughter Rachel, coming with the sheep."
[Genesis 29:7] He said, "Look, it is still broad daylight; it is not time for the animals to be gathered together. Water the sheep, and go, pasture them."
[Genesis 29:8] But they said, "We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together, and the stone is rolled from the mouth of the well; then we water the sheep."
[Genesis 29:9] While he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep; for she kept them.
[Genesis 29:10] Now when Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of his mother's brother Laban, and the sheep of his mother's brother Laban, Jacob went up and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of his mother's brother Laban.
[Genesis 29:11] Then Jacob kissed Rachel, and wept aloud.
[Genesis 29:12] And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's kinsman, and that he was Rebekah's son; and she ran and told her father.
[Genesis 29:13] When Laban heard the news about his sister's son Jacob, he ran to meet him; he embraced him and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things,
[Genesis 29:14] and Laban said to him, "Surely you are my bone and my flesh!" And he stayed with him a month.
[Genesis 29:15] Then Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my kinsman, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall your wages be?"
[Genesis 29:16] Now Laban had two daughters; the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
[Genesis 29:17] Leah's eyes were lovely, and Rachel was graceful and beautiful.
[Genesis 29:18] Jacob loved Rachel; so he said, "I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel."
[Genesis 29:19] Laban said, "It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to any other man; stay with me."
[Genesis 29:20] So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed to him but a few days because of the love he had for her.
[Genesis 29:21] Then Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife that I may go in to her, for my time is completed."
[Genesis 29:22] So Laban gathered together all the people of the place, and made a feast.
[Genesis 29:23] But in the evening he took his daughter Leah and brought her to Jacob; and he went in to her.
[Genesis 29:24] (Laban gave his maid Zilpah to his daughter Leah to be her maid.)
[Genesis 29:25] When morning came, it was Leah! And Jacob said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? Did I not serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?"
[Genesis 29:26] Laban said, "This is not done in our country - giving the younger before the firstborn.
[Genesis 29:27] Complete the week of this one, and we will give you the other also in return for serving me another seven years."
[Genesis 29:28] Jacob did so, and completed her week; then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel as a wife.
[Genesis 29:29] (Laban gave his maid Bilhah to his daughter Rachel to be her maid.)
[Genesis 29:30] So Jacob went in to Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more than Leah. He served Laban for another seven years.
[Genesis 29:31] When the LORD saw that Leah was unloved, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.
[Genesis 29:32] Leah conceived and bore a son, and she named him Reuben; for she said, "Because the LORD has looked on my affliction; surely now my husband will love me."
[Genesis 29:33] She conceived again and bore a son, and said, "Because the LORD has heard that I am hated, he has given me this son also"; and she named him Simeon.
[Genesis 29:34] Again she conceived and bore a son, and said, "Now this time my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons"; therefore he was named Levi.
[Genesis 29:35] She conceived again and bore a son, and said, "This time I will praise the LORD"; therefore she named him Judah; then she ceased bearing.
