GEN 21: 19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink. GEN 21: 20 And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer. GEN 21: 21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt. GEN 21: 22 And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God [is] with thee in all that thou doest: GEN 21: 23 Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son: [but] according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned. GEN 21: 24 And Abraham said, I will swear. GEN 21: 25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away. GEN 21: 26 And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I [of it] , but to day. GEN 21: 27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant. GEN 21: 28 And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves. GEN 21: 29 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What [mean] these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves? GEN 21: 30 And he said, For [these] seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well. GEN 21: 31 Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; because there they sware both of them. GEN 21: 32 Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba: then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines. GEN 21: 33 And [Abraham] planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God. GEN 21: 34 And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days. GEN 22: 1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, [here] I [am] . GEN 22: 2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only [son] Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. GEN 22: 3 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him. GEN 22: 4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off. GEN 22: 5 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you. GEN 22: 6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid [it] upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together. GEN 22: 7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here [am] I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where [ is] the lamb for a burnt offering? GEN 22: 8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together. GEN 22: 9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood. GEN 22: 10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. GEN 22: 11 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here [am] I. GEN 22: 12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only [son] from me. GEN 22: 13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind [him] a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son. GEN 22: 14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said [ to] this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen. GEN 22: 15 And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, GEN 22: 16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only [son] : GEN 22: 17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which [is] upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; GEN 22: 18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice. GEN 22: 19 So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba. GEN 22: 20 And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor; GEN 22: 21 Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram, GEN 22: 22 And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel. GEN 22: 23 And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother. GEN 22: 24 And his concubine, whose name [was] Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah. GEN 23: 1 And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: [these were] the years of the life of Sarah. GEN 23: 2 And Sarah died in Kirjatharba; the same [is] Hebron in the land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her. GEN 23: 3 And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying, GEN 23: 4 I [am] a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a possession of a buryingplace with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight. GEN 23: 5 And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him, GEN 23: 6 Hear us, my lord: thou [art] a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead. GEN 23: 7 And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, [ even] to the children of Heth. GEN 23: 8 And he communed with them, saying, If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight; hear me, and entreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar, GEN 23: 9 That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which [is] in the end of his field; for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me for a possession of a buryingplace amongst you. GEN 23: 10 And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, [even] of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying, GEN 23: 11 Nay, my lord, hear me: the field give I thee, and the cave that [is] therein, I give it thee; in the presence of the sons of my people give I it thee: bury thy dead. GEN 23: 12 And Abraham bowed down himself before the people of the land. GEN 23: 13 And he spake unto Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, But if thou [wilt give it] , I pray thee, hear me: I will give thee money for the field; take [it] of me, and I will bury my dead there. GEN 23: 14 And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him, GEN 23: 15 My lord, hearken unto me: the land [is worth] four hundred shekels of silver; what [is] that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore thy dead. GEN 23: 16 And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current [money] with the merchant. GEN 23: 17 And the field of Ephron, which [was] in Machpelah, which [was] before Mamre, the field, and the cave which [was] therein, and all the trees that [ were] in the field, that [were] in all the borders round about, were made sure GEN 23: 18 Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city. GEN 23: 19 And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre: the same [is] Hebron in the land of Canaan. GEN 23: 20 And the field, and the cave that [is] therein, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a buryingplace by the sons of Heth. GEN 24: 1 And Abraham was old, [and] well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things. GEN 24: 2 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh: GEN 24: 3 And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell: GEN 24: 4 But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac. GEN 24: 5 And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest? GEN 24: 6 And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again. GEN 24: 7 The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence. GEN 24: 8 And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again. GEN 24: 9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter. GEN 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, unto the city of Nahor. GEN 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] . GEN 24: 12 And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and show kindness unto my master Abraham. GEN 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: GEN 24: 14 And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: [let the same be] she [that] thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast showed kindness unto my master. GEN 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 upon her shoulder. GEN 24: 16 And the damsel [was] very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up. GEN 24: 17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher. GEN 24: 18 And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink. GEN 24: 19 And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw [water] for thy camels also, until they have done drinking. GEN 24: 20 And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw [water] , and drew for all his camels. GEN 24: 21 And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not. GEN 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; GEN 24: 23 And said, Whose daughter [art] thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room [in] thy father's house for us to lodge in? GEN 24: 24 And she said unto him, I [am] the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor. GEN 24: 25 She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in. GEN 24: 26 And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD. GEN 24: 27 And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath 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 brethren. GEN 24: 28 And the damsel ran, and told [them of] her mother's house these things. GEN 24: 29 And Rebekah had a brother, and his name [was] Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well. GEN 24: 30 And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well. GEN 24: 31 And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels. GEN 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. GEN 24: 33 And there was set [meat] before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on. GEN 24: 34 And he said, I [am] Abraham's servant. GEN 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. GEN 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. GEN 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: GEN 24: 38 But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son. GEN 24: 39 And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me. GEN 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: GEN 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. GEN 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: GEN 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; GEN 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. GEN 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. GEN 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. GEN 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. GEN 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. GEN 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. GEN 24: 50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good. GEN 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. GEN 24: 52 And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, [bowing himself] to the earth. GEN 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. GEN 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. GEN 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. GEN 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. GEN 24: 57 And they said, We will call the damsel, and inquire at her mouth. GEN 24: 58 And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go. GEN 24: 59 And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men. GEN 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. GEN 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. GEN 24: 62 And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for he dwelt in the south country. GEN 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. GEN 24: 64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel. GEN 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 veil, and covered herself. GEN 24: 66 And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done. GEN 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] . GEN 25: 1 Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name [was] Keturah. GEN 25: 2 And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah. GEN 25: 3 And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim. GEN 25: 4 And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah. All these [were] the children of Keturah. GEN 25: 5 And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac. GEN 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. GEN 25: 7 And these [are] the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years. GEN 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. GEN 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; GEN 25: 10 The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife. GEN 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. GEN 25: 12 Now these [are] the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham: GEN 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, GEN 25: 14 And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa, GEN 25: 15 Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah: GEN 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. GEN 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. GEN 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. GEN 25: 19 And these [are] the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac: GEN 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. GEN 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. GEN 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. GEN 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. GEN 25: 24 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, [there were] twins in her womb. GEN 25: 25 And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. GEN 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. GEN 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. GEN 25: 28 And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of [his] venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob. GEN 25: 29 And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he [was] faint: GEN 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. GEN 25: 31 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright. GEN 25: 32 And Esau said, Behold, I [am] at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me? GEN 25: 33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob. GEN 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. GEN 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. GEN 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: GEN 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; GEN 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; GEN 26: 5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. GEN 26: 6 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar: GEN 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. GEN 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. GEN 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. GEN 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. GEN 26: 11 And Abimelech charged all [his] people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death. GEN 26: 12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. GEN 26: 13 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: GEN 26: 14 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him. GEN 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. GEN 26: 16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we. GEN 26: 17 And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there. GEN 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. GEN 26: 19 And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water. GEN 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. GEN 26: 21 And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah. GEN 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. GEN 26: 23 And he went up from thence to Beersheba. GEN 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. GEN 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. GEN 26: 26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army. GEN 26: 27 And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you? GEN 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; GEN 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. GEN 26: 30 And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink. GEN 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. GEN 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. GEN 26: 33 And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city [is] Beersheba unto this day. GEN 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: GEN 26: 35 Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah. GEN 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. GEN 27: 2 And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death: GEN 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; GEN 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. GEN 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] . GEN 27: 6 And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying, GEN 27: 7 Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the LORD before my death. GEN 27: 8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee. GEN 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: GEN 27: 10 And thou shalt bring [it] to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death. GEN 27: 11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother [is] a hairy man, and I [am] a smooth man: GEN 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. GEN 27: 13 And his mother said unto him, Upon me [be] thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me [them] . GEN 27: 14 And he went, and fetched, and brought [them] to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved. GEN 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: GEN 27: 16 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck: GEN 27: 17 And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob. GEN 27: 18 And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here [ am] I; who [art] thou, my son? GEN 27: 19 And Jacob said unto his father, I [am] Esau thy firstborn; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me. GEN 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. GEN 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. GEN 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. GEN 27: 23 And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him. GEN 27: 24 And he said, [Art] thou my very son Esau? And he said, I [am] . GEN 27: 25 And he said, Bring [it] near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought [it] near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine, and he drank. GEN 27: 26 And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son. GEN 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 hath blessed: GEN 27: 28 Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine: GEN 27: 29 Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed [be] every one that curseth thee, and blessed [be] he that blesseth thee. GEN 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. GEN 27: 31 And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it unto his father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son's venison, that thy soul may bless me. GEN 27: 32 And Isaac his father said unto him, Who [art] thou? And he said, I [ am] thy son, thy firstborn Esau. GEN 27: 33 And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where [is] he that hath taken venison, and brought [it] me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea, [and] he shall be blessed. GEN 27: 34 And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, [even] me also, O my father. GEN 27: 35 And he said, Thy brother came with subtlety, and hath taken away thy blessing. GEN 27: 36 And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me? GEN 27: 37 And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto thee, my son? GEN 27: 38 And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, [even] me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept. GEN 27: 39 And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above; GEN 27: 40 And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck. GEN 27: 41 And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith 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. GEN 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 unto him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself, [purposing] to kill thee. GEN 27: 43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; and arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran; GEN 27: 44 And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's fury turn away; GEN 27: 45 Until thy brother's anger turn away from thee, and he forget [that] which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch thee from thence: why should I be deprived also of you both in one day? GEN 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? GEN 28: 1 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan. GEN 28: 2 Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother. GEN 28: 3 And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people; GEN 28: 4 And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham. GEN 28: 5 And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padanaram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother. GEN 28: 6 When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padanaram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan; GEN 28: 7 And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padanaram; GEN 28: 8 And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father; GEN 28: 9 Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife. GEN 28: 10 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran. GEN 28: 11 And he lighted upon 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. GEN 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. GEN 28: 13 And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I [am] the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed; GEN 28: 14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. GEN 28: 15 And, behold, I [am] with thee, and will keep thee in all [places] whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done [that] which I have spoken to thee of. GEN 28: 16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew [it] not. GEN 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. GEN 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 upon the top of it. GEN 28: 19 And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city [ was called] Luz at the first. GEN 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, GEN 28: 21 So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God: GEN 28: 22 And this stone, which I have set [for] a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee. GEN 29: 1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east. GEN 29: 2 And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there [were] three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone [was] upon the well's mouth. GEN 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 upon the well's mouth in his place. GEN 29: 4 And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence [be] ye? And they said, Of Haran [are] we. GEN 29: 5 And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know [him] . GEN 29: 6 And he said unto them, [Is] he well? And they said, [He is] well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep. GEN 29: 7 And he said, Lo, [it is] yet high day, neither [is it] time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go [and] feed [them] . GEN 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. GEN 29: 9 And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep: for she kept them. GEN 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. GEN 29: 11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept. GEN 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. GEN 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. GEN 29: 14 And Laban said to him, Surely thou [art] my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month. GEN 29: 15 And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou [art] my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what [shall] thy wages [be] ? GEN 29: 16 And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder [was] Leah, and the name of the younger [was] Rachel. GEN 29: 17 Leah [was] tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured. GEN 29: 18 And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter. GEN 29: 19 And Laban said, [It is] better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me. GEN 29: 20 And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him [but] a few days, for the love he had to her. GEN 29: 21 And Jacob said unto Laban, Give [me] my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her. GEN 29: 22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast. GEN 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 unto her. GEN 29: 24 And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid [for] an handmaid. GEN 29: 25 And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it [was] Leah: and he said to Laban, What [is] this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me? GEN 29: 26 And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn. GEN 29: 27 Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years. GEN 29: 28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also. GEN 29: 29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid. GEN 29: 30 And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years. GEN 29: 31 And when the LORD saw that Leah [was] hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel [was] barren. GEN 29: 32 And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me. GEN 29: 33 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard that I [was] hated, he hath therefore given me this [son] also: and she called his name Simeon. GEN 29: 34 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi. GEN 29: 35 And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing. GEN 30: 1 And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die. GEN 30: 2 And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, [Am] I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb? GEN 30: 3 And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her. GEN 30: 4 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her. GEN 30: 5 And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son. GEN 30: 6 And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan. GEN 30: 7 And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son. GEN 30: 8 And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali. GEN 30: 9 When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife. GEN 30: 10 And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son. GEN 30: 11 And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad. GEN 30: 12 And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a second son. GEN 30: 13 And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher. GEN 30: 14 And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes. GEN 30: 15 And she said unto her, [Is it] a small matter that thou hast taken my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to night for thy son's mandrakes. GEN 30: 16 And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto me; for surely I have hired thee with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night. GEN 30: 17 And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son. GEN 30: 18 And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar. GEN 30: 19 And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son. GEN 30: 20 And Leah said, God hath 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. GEN 30: 21 And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah. GEN 30: 22 And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb. GEN 30: 23 And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach: GEN 30: 24 And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me another son. GEN 30: 25 And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country. GEN 30: 26 Give [me] my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have done thee. GEN 30: 27 And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, [tarry: for] I have learned by experience that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake. GEN 30: 28 And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give [it] . GEN 30: 29 And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle was with me. GEN 30: 30 For [it was] little which thou hadst before I [came] , and it is [ now] increased unto a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also? GEN 30: 31 And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me any thing: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed [and] keep thy flock. GEN 30: 32 I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from thence 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. GEN 30: 33 So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that [is] not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted stolen with me. GEN 30: 34 And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word. GEN 30: 35 And he removed that day the he goats that were ringstreaked 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. GEN 30: 36 And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks. GEN 30: 37 And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chestnut tree; and pilled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which [was] in the rods. GEN 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. GEN 30: 39 And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstreaked, speckled, and spotted. GEN 30: 40 And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ringstreaked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban's cattle. GEN 30: 41 And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods. GEN 30: 42 But when the cattle were feeble, he put [them] not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's. GEN 30: 43 And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses. GEN 31: 1 And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that [was] our father's; and of [that] which [was] our father's hath he gotten all this glory. GEN 31: 2 And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it [was] not toward him as before. GEN 31: 3 And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee. GEN 31: 4 And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock, GEN 31: 5 And said unto them, I see your father's countenance, that it [is] not toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been with me. GEN 31: 6 And ye know that with all my power I have served your father. GEN 31: 7 And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me. GEN 31: 8 If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the cattle bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstreaked shall be thy hire; then bare all the cattle ringstreaked. GEN 31: 9 Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given [them] to me. GEN 31: 10 And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the cattle [were] ringstreaked, speckled, and grisled. GEN 31: 11 And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, [saying] , Jacob: And I said, Here [am] I. GEN 31: 12 And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle [are] ringstreaked, speckled, and grisled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee. GEN 31: 13 I [am] the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, [and] where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred. GEN 31: 14 And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, [Is there] yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house? GEN 31: 15 Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our money. GEN 31: 16 For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that [is] ours, and our children's: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do. GEN 31: 17 Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels; GEN 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. GEN 31: 19 And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that [ were] her father's. GEN 31: 20 And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled. GEN 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. GEN 31: 22 And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled. GEN 31: 23 And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead. GEN 31: 24 And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad. GEN 31: 25 Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead. GEN 31: 26 And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives [taken] with the sword? GEN 31: 27 Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp? GEN 31: 28 And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? thou hast now done foolishly in [so] doing. GEN 31: 29 It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad. GEN 31: 30 And now, [though] thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father's house, [yet] wherefore hast thou stolen my gods? GEN 31: 31 And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy daughters from me. GEN 31: 32 With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live: before our brethren discern thou what [is] thine with me, and take [it] to thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them. GEN 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. GEN 31: 34 Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel's furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found [them] not. GEN 31: 35 And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women [is] upon me. And he searched, but found not the images. GEN 31: 36 And Jacob was wroth, and chided with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What [is] my trespass? what [is] my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me? GEN 31: 37 Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? set [it] here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us both. GEN 31: 38 This twenty years [have] I [been] with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten. GEN 31: 39 That which was torn [of beasts] I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, [whether] stolen by day, or stolen by night. GEN 31: 40 [Thus] I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes. GEN 31: 41 Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times. GEN 31: 42 Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked [thee] yesternight. GEN 31: 43 And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, [These] daughters [are] my daughters, and [these] children [are] my children, and [these] cattle [are] my cattle, and all that thou seest [is] mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children which they have born? GEN 31: 44 Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee. GEN 31: 45 And Jacob took a stone, and set it up [for] a pillar. GEN 31: 46 And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap. GEN 31: 47 And Laban called it Jegarsahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed. GEN 31: 48 And Laban said, This heap [is] a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed; GEN 31: 49 And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another. GEN 31: 50 If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take [other] wives beside my daughters, no man [is] with us; see, God [is] witness betwixt me and thee. GEN 31: 51 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold [this] pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee; GEN 31: 52 This heap [be] witness, and [this] pillar [be] witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm. GEN 31: 53 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the fear of his father Isaac. GEN 31: 54 Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mount. GEN 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 unto his place. GEN 32: 1 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. GEN 32: 2 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This [is] God's host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim. GEN 32: 3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom. GEN 32: 4 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there until now: GEN 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 thy sight. GEN 32: 6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him. GEN 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; GEN 32: 8 And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape. GEN 32: 9 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee: GEN 32: 10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast showed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands. GEN 32: 11 Deliver me, I pray thee, 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. GEN 32: 12 And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude. GEN 32: 13 And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother; GEN 32: 14 Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams, GEN 32: 15 Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals. GEN 32: 16 And he delivered [them] into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove. GEN 32: 17 And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose [art] thou? and whither goest thou? and whose [are] these before thee? GEN 32: 18 Then thou shalt say, [They be] thy servant Jacob's; it [is] a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, also he [is] behind us. GEN 32: 19 And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him. GEN 32: 20 And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob [is] behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me. GEN 32: 21 So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company. GEN 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. GEN 32: 23 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had. GEN 32: 24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. GEN 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. GEN 32: 26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. GEN 32: 27 And he said unto him, What [is] thy name? And he said, Jacob. GEN 32: 28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. GEN 32: 29 And Jacob asked [him] , and said, Tell [me] , I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore [is] it [that] thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there. GEN 32: 30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. GEN 32: 31 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh. GEN 32: 32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not [of] the sinew which shrank, which [is] upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank. GEN 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 unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids. GEN 33: 2 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost. GEN 33: 3 And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother. GEN 33: 4 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept. GEN 33: 5 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who [are] those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant. GEN 33: 6 Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves. GEN 33: 7 And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves. GEN 33: 8 And he said, What [meanest] thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, [These are] to find grace in the sight of my lord. GEN 33: 9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself. GEN 33: 10 And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me. GEN 33: 11 Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took [ it] . GEN 33: 12 And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee. GEN 33: 13 And he said unto him, My lord knoweth 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. GEN 33: 14 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir. GEN 33: 15 And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee [some] of the folk that [ are] with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find grace in the sight of my lord. GEN 33: 16 So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir. GEN 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. GEN 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. GEN 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. GEN 33: 20 And he erected there an altar, and called it Elelohe- Israel. GEN 34: 1 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land. GEN 34: 2 And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her. GEN 34: 3 And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel. GEN 34: 4 And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife. GEN 34: 5 And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they were come. GEN 34: 6 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him. GEN 34: 7 And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard [it] : and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter; which thing ought not to be done. GEN 34: 8 And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to wife. GEN 34: 9 And make ye marriages with us, [and] give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you. GEN 34: 10 And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein. GEN 34: 11 And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give. GEN 34: 12 Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to wife. GEN 34: 13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister: GEN 34: 14 And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that [were] a reproach unto us: GEN 34: 15 But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we [be] , that every male of you be circumcised; GEN 34: 16 Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people. GEN 34: 17 But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone. GEN 34: 18 And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son. GEN 34: 19 And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter: and he [was] more honourable than all the house of his father. GEN 34: 20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying, GEN 34: 21 These men [are] peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade therein; for the land, behold, [it is] large enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters. GEN 34: 22 Only herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell with us, to be one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they [are] circumcised. GEN 34: 23 [Shall] not their cattle and their substance and every beast of theirs [ be] ours? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell with us. GEN 34: 24 And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city; and every male was circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city. GEN 34: 25 And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males. GEN 34: 26 And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went out. GEN 34: 27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister. GEN 34: 28 They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and that which [ was] in the city, and that which [was] in the field, GEN 34: 29 And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that [was] in the house. GEN 34: 30 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I [being] few in number, they shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house. GEN 34: 31 And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot? GEN 35: 1 And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother. GEN 35: 2 Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that [were] with him, Put away the strange gods that [are] among you, and be clean, and change your garments: GEN 35: 3 And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went. GEN 35: 4 And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which [were] in their hand, and [all their] earrings which [were] in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which [was] by Shechem. GEN 35: 5 And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the cities that [ were] round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob. GEN 35: 6 So Jacob came to Luz, which [is] in the land of Canaan, that [is] , Bethel, he and all the people that [were] with him. GEN 35: 7 And he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel: because there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother. GEN 35: 8 But Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth. GEN 35: 9 And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him. GEN 35: 10 And God said unto him, Thy name [is] Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel. GEN 35: 11 And God said unto him, I [am] God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins; GEN 35: 12 And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land. GEN 35: 13 And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him. GEN 35: 14 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, [even] a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon. GEN 35: 15 And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Bethel. GEN 35: 16 And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour. GEN 35: 17 And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also. GEN 35: 18 And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, ( for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin. GEN 35: 19 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which [is] Bethlehem. GEN 35: 20 And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that [is] the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day. GEN 35: 21 And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar. GEN 35: 22 And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine: and Israel heard [it] . Now the sons of Jacob were twelve: GEN 35: 23 The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun: GEN 35: 24 The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin: GEN 35: 25 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali: GEN 35: 26 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid; Gad, and Asher: these [are]  Bible Software Engineering P.
