Genesis 15:1--33:20

15:1

After
<0310>

these things
<01697>

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came
<01961> (8804)

unto Abram
<087>

in a vision
<04236>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Fear
<03372> (8799)

not, Abram
<087>_:

I [am] thy shield
<04043>_,

[and] thy exceeding
<03966>

great
<07235> (8687)

reward
<07939>_.

15:2

And Abram
<087>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

what wilt thou give
<05414> (8799)

me, seeing I go
<01980> (8802)

childless
<06185>_,

and the steward
<01121> <04943>

of my house
<01004>

[is] this
<01931>

Eliezer
<0461>

of Damascus
<01834>_?

15:3

And Abram
<087>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, to me thou hast given
<05414> (8804)

no
<03808>

seed
<02233>_:

and, lo, one born
<01121>

in my house
<01004>

is mine heir
<03423> (8802)_.

15:4

And, behold, the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

[came] unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

This shall not be thine heir
<03423> (8799)_;

but he that shall come forth
<03318> (8799)

out of thine own bowels
<04578>

shall be thine heir
<03423> (8799)_.

15:5

And he brought him forth
<03318> (8686)

abroad
<02351>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Look
<05027> (8685)

now toward heaven
<08064>_,

and tell
<05608> (8798)

the stars
<03556>_,

if thou be able
<03201> (8799)

to number
<05608> (8800)

them: and he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, So
<03541>

shall thy seed
<02233>

be.

15:6

And he believed
<0539> (8689)

in the LORD
<03068>_;

and he counted
<02803> (8799)

it to him for righteousness
<06666>_.

15:7

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, I [am] the LORD
<03068>

that brought thee out
<03318> (8689)

of Ur
<0218>

of the Chaldees
<03778>_,

to give
<05414> (8800)

thee this land
<0776>

to inherit
<03423> (8800)

it.

15:8

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

whereby
<04100>

shall I know
<03045> (8799)

that I shall inherit it
<03423> (8799)_?

15:9

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Take
<03947> (8798)

me an heifer
<05697>

of three years old
<08027> (8794)_,

and a she goat
<05795>

of three years old
<08027> (8794)_,

and a ram
<0352>

of three years old
<08027> (8794)_,

and a turtledove
<08449>_,

and a young pigeon
<01469>_.

15:10

And he took
<03947> (8799)

unto him all these, and divided
<01334> (8762)

them in the midst
<08432>_,

and laid
<05414> (8799)

each
<0376>

piece
<01335>

one against
<07125> (8800)

another
<07453>_:

but the birds
<06833>

divided
<01334> (8804)

he not.

15:11

And when the fowls
<05861>

came down
<03381> (8799)

upon the carcases
<06297>_,

Abram
<087>

drove them away
<05380> (8686)_.

15:12

And when the sun
<08121>

was going down
<0935> (8800)_,

a deep sleep
<08639>

fell
<05307> (8804)

upon Abram
<087>_;

and, lo, an horror
<0367>

of great
<01419>

darkness
<02825>

fell
<05307> (8802)

upon him.

15:13

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto Abram
<087>_,

Know
<03045> (8799)

of a surety
<03045> (8800)

that thy seed
<02233>

shall be a stranger
<01616>

in a land
<0776>

[that is] not theirs, and shall serve
<05647> (8804)

them; and they shall afflict
<06031> (8765)

them four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>

years
<08141>_;

15:14

And also that nation
<01471>_,

whom they shall serve
<05647> (8799)_,

will I judge
<01777> (8802)_:

and afterward
<0310> <03651>

shall they come out
<03318> (8799)

with great
<01419>

substance
<07399>_.

15:15

And thou shalt go
<0935> (8799)

to thy fathers
<01>

in peace
<07965>_;

thou shalt be buried
<06912> (8735)

in a good
<02896>

old age
<07872>_.

15:16

But in the fourth
<07243>

generation
<01755>

they shall come hither
<02008>

again
<07725> (8799)_:

for the iniquity
<05771>

of the Amorites
<0567>

[is] not yet
<02008>

full
<08003>_.

15:17

And it came to pass, that, when the sun
<08121>

went down
<0935> (8804)_,

and it was dark
<05939>_,

behold a smoking
<06227>

furnace
<08574>_,

and a burning
<0784>

lamp
<03940>

that passed
<05674> (8804)

between
<0996>

those pieces
<01506>_.

{a burning...: Heb. a lamp of fire}

15:18

In the same
<01931>

day
<03117>

the LORD
<03068>

made
<03772> (8804)

a covenant
<01285>

with Abram
<087>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Unto thy seed
<02233>

have I given
<05414> (8804)

this land
<0776>_,

from the river
<05104>

of Egypt
<04714>

unto the great
<01419>

river
<05104>_,

the river
<05104>

Euphrates
<06578>_:

15:19

The Kenites
<07017>_,

and the Kenizzites
<07074>_,

and the Kadmonites
<06935>_,

15:20

And the Hittites
<02850>_,

and the Perizzites
<06522>_,

and the Rephaims
<07497>_,

15:21

And the Amorites
<0567>_,

and the Canaanites
<03669>_,

and the Girgashites
<01622>_,

and the Jebusites
<02983>_.

16:1

Now Sarai
<08297>

Abram's
<087>

wife
<0802>

bare
<03205> (0)

him no
<03808>

children
<03205> (8804)_:

and she had an handmaid
<08198>_,

an Egyptian
<04713>_,

whose name
<08034>

[was] Hagar
<01904>_.

16:2

And Sarai
<08297>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Abram
<087>_,

Behold now, the LORD
<03068>

hath restrained me
<06113> (8804)

from bearing
<03205> (8800)_:

I pray thee, go in
<0935> (8798)

unto my maid
<08198>_;

it may
<0194>

be that I may obtain children
<01129> (8735)

by her. And Abram
<087>

hearkened
<08085> (8799)

to the voice
<06963>

of Sarai
<08297>_.

{obtain...: Heb. be built by her}

16:3

And Sarai
<08297>

Abram's
<087>

wife
<0802>

took
<03947> (8799)

Hagar
<01904>

her maid
<08198>

the Egyptian
<04713>_,

after
<07093>

Abram
<087>

had dwelt
<03427> (8800)

ten
<06235>

years
<08141>

in the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

her to her husband
<0376>

Abram
<087>

to be his wife
<0802>_.

16:4

And he went in
<0935> (8799)

unto Hagar
<01904>_,

and she conceived
<02029> (8799)_:

and when she saw
<07200> (8799)

that she had conceived
<02029> (8804)_,

her mistress
<01404>

was despised
<07043> (8799)

in her eyes
<05869>_.

16:5

And Sarai
<08297>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Abram
<087>_,

My wrong
<02555>

[be] upon thee: I have given
<05414> (8804)

my maid
<08198>

into thy bosom
<02436>_;

and when she saw
<07200> (8799)

that she had conceived
<02029> (8804)_,

I was despised
<07043> (8799)

in her eyes
<05869>_:

the LORD
<03068>

judge
<08199> (8799)

between me and thee.

16:6

But Abram
<087>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Sarai
<08297>_,

Behold, thy maid
<08198>

[is] in thy hand
<03027>_;

do
<06213> (8798)

to her as it pleaseth thee
<02896> <05869>_.

And when Sarai
<08297>

dealt hardly with
<06031> (8762)

her, she fled
<01272> (8799)

from her face
<06440>_.

{as...: Heb. that which is good in thine eyes} {dealt...: Heb. afflicted her}

16:7

And the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

found her
<04672> (8799)

by a fountain
<05869>

of water
<04325>

in the wilderness
<04057>_,

by the fountain
<05869>

in the way
<01870>

to Shur
<07793>_.

16:8

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Hagar
<01904>_,

Sarai's
<08297>

maid
<08198>_,

whence
<0335>

camest thou
<0935> (8804)_?

and whither wilt thou go
<03212> (8799)_?

And she said
<0559> (8799)_,

I flee
<01272> (8802)

from the face
<06440>

of my mistress
<01404>

Sarai
<08297>_.

16:9

And the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Return
<07725> (8798)

to thy mistress
<01404>_,

and submit
<06031> (8690)

thyself under her hands
<03027>_.

16:10

And the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, I will multiply
<07235> (8686)

thy seed
<02233>

exceedingly
<07235> (8687)_,

that it shall not be numbered
<05608> (8735)

for multitude
<07230>_.

16:11

And the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Behold
<02009>_,

thou [art] with child
<02030>_,

and shalt bear
<03205> (8802)

a son
<01121>_,

and shalt call
<07121> (8804)

his name
<08034>

Ishmael
<03458>_;

because the LORD
<03068>

hath heard
<08085> (8804)

thy affliction
<06040>_.

{Ishmael: that is, God shall hear}

16:12

And he will be a wild
<06501>

man
<0120>_;

his hand
<03027>

[will be] against every man, and every man's hand
<03027>

against him; and he shall dwell
<07931> (8799)

in the presence
<06440>

of all his brethren
<0251>_.

16:13

And she called
<07121> (8799)

the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>

that spake
<01696> (8802)

unto her, Thou God
<0410>

seest me
<07210>_:

for she said
<0559> (8804)_,

Have I also here
<01988>

looked
<07200> (8804)

after him
<0310>

that seeth me
<07210>_?

16:14

Wherefore the well
<0875>

was called
<07121> (8804)

Beerlahairoi
<0883> <02416>_;

behold, [it is] between Kadesh
<06946>

and Bered
<01260>_.

{Beerlahairoi: that is, The well of him that liveth and seeth me}

16:15

And Hagar
<01904>

bare
<03205> (8799)

Abram
<087>

a son
<01121>_:

and Abram
<087>

called
<07121> (8799)

his son's
<01121>

name
<08034>_,

which Hagar
<01904>

bare
<03205> (8804)_,

Ishmael
<03458>_.

16:16

And Abram
<087>

[was] fourscore
<08084> <08141>

and six
<08337>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>_,

when Hagar
<01904>

bare
<03205> (8800)

Ishmael
<03458>

to Abram
<087>_.

17:1

And when Abram
<087>

was ninety
<08673> <08141>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

and nine
<08672>_,

the LORD
<03068>

appeared
<07200> (8735)

to Abram
<087>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, I [am] the Almighty
<07706>

God
<0410>_;

walk
<01980> (8690)

before me
<06440>_,

and be thou perfect
<08549>_.

{perfect: or, upright, or, sincere}

17:2

And I will make
<05414> (8799)

my covenant
<01285>

between me and thee, and will multiply
<07235> (8686)

thee exceedingly
<03966> <03966>_.

17:3

And Abram
<087>

fell
<05307> (8799)

on his face
<06440>_:

and God
<0430>

talked
<01696> (8762)

with him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

17:4

As for me
<0589>_,

behold, my covenant
<01285>

[is] with thee, and thou shalt be a father
<01>

of many
<01995>

nations
<01471>_.

{many...: Heb. multitude of nations}

17:5

Neither shall thy name
<08034>

any more be called
<07121> (8735)

Abram
<087>_,

but thy name
<08034>

shall be Abraham
<085>_;

for a father
<01>

of many
<01995>

nations
<01471>

have I made thee
<05414> (8804)_.

{Abraham: that is, Father of a great multitude}

17:6

And I will make
<06509> (0)

thee exceeding
<03966> <03966>

fruitful
<06509> (8689)_,

and I will make
<05414> (8804)

nations
<01471>

of thee, and kings
<04428>

shall come out
<03318> (8799)

of thee.

17:7

And I will establish
<06965> (8689)

my covenant
<01285>

between me and thee and thy seed
<02233>

after thee
<0310>

in their generations
<01755>

for an everlasting
<05769>

covenant
<01285>_,

to be a God
<0430>

unto thee, and to thy seed
<02233>

after thee
<0310>_.

17:8

And I will give
<05414> (8804)

unto thee, and to thy seed
<02233>

after thee
<0310>_,

the land
<0776>

wherein thou art a stranger
<04033>_,

all the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_,

for an everlasting
<05769>

possession
<0272>_;

and I will be their God
<0430>_.

{wherein...: Heb. of thy sojournings}

17:9

And God
<0430>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Abraham
<085>_,

Thou shalt keep
<08104> (8799)

my covenant
<01285>

therefore, thou, and thy seed
<02233>

after thee
<0310>

in their generations
<01755>_.

17:10

This [is] my covenant
<01285>_,

which ye shall keep
<08104> (8799)_,

between me and you and thy seed
<02233>

after thee
<0310>_;

Every man child
<02145>

among you shall be circumcised
<04135> (8736)_.

17:11

And ye shall circumcise
<05243> (8804)

the flesh
<01320>

of your foreskin
<06190>_;

and it shall be a token
<0226>

of the covenant
<01285>

betwixt me and you.

17:12

And he that is eight
<08083>

days
<03117>

old
<01121>

shall be circumcised
<04135> (8735)

among you, every man child
<02145>

in your generations
<01755>_,

he that is born
<03211>

in the house
<01004>_,

or bought
<04736>

with money
<03701>

of any stranger
<01121> <05236>_,

which [is] not of thy seed
<02233>_.

{he that is eight...: Heb. a son of eight days}

17:13

He that is born
<03211>

in thy house
<01004>_,

and he that is bought
<04736>

with thy money
<03701>_,

must needs
<04135> (8736)

be circumcised
<04135> (8735)_:

and my covenant
<01285>

shall be in your flesh
<01320>

for an everlasting
<05769>

covenant
<01285>_.

17:14

And the uncircumcised
<06189>

man child
<02145>

whose
<0834>

flesh
<01320>

of his foreskin
<06190>

is not circumcised
<04135> (8735)_,

that soul
<05315>

shall be cut off
<03772> (8738)

from his people
<05971>_;

he hath broken
<06565> (8689)

my covenant
<01285>_.

17:15

And God
<0430>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Abraham
<085>_,

As for Sarai
<08297>

thy wife
<0802>_,

thou shalt not call
<07121> (8799)

her name
<08034>

Sarai
<08297>_,

but
<03588>

Sarah
<08283>

[shall] her name
<08034>

[be]. {Sarah: that is Princess}

17:16

And I will bless
<01288> (8765)

her, and give
<05414> (8804)

thee a son
<01121>

also of her: yea, I will bless
<01288> (8765)

her, and she shall be [a mother] of nations
<01471>_;

kings
<04428>

of people
<05971>

shall be of her. {she...: Heb. she shall become nations}

17:17

Then Abraham
<085>

fell
<05307> (8799)

upon his face
<06440>_,

and laughed
<06711> (8799)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

in his heart
<03820>_,

Shall [a child] be born
<03205> (8735)

unto him that is an hundred
<03967>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>_?

and shall Sarah
<08283>_,

that is ninety
<08673>

years
<08141>

old
<01323>_,

bear
<03205> (8799)_?

17:18

And Abraham
<085>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto God
<0430>_,

O that
<03863>

Ishmael
<03458>

might live
<02421> (8799)

before thee
<06440>_!

17:19

And God
<0430>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Sarah
<08283>

thy wife
<0802>

shall bear
<03205> (8802)

thee a son
<01121>

indeed
<061>_;

and thou shalt call
<07121> (8804)

his name
<08034>

Isaac
<03327>_:

and I will establish
<06965> (8689)

my covenant
<01285>

with him for an everlasting
<05769>

covenant
<01285>_,

[and] with his seed
<02233>

after him
<0310>_.

17:20

And as for Ishmael
<03458>_,

I have heard thee
<08085> (8804)_:

Behold, I have blessed
<01288> (8765)

him, and will make him fruitful
<06509> (8689)_,

and will multiply
<07235> (8689)

him exceedingly
<03966> <03966>_;

twelve
<06240> <08147>

princes
<05387>

shall he beget
<03205> (8686)_,

and I will make him
<05414> (8804)

a great
<01419>

nation
<01471>_.

17:21

But my covenant
<01285>

will I establish
<06965> (8686)

with Isaac
<03327>_,

which Sarah
<08283>

shall bear
<03205> (8799)

unto thee at this set time
<04150>

in the next
<0312>

year
<08141>_.

17:22

And he left off
<03615> (8762)

talking
<01696> (8763)

with him, and God
<0430>

went up
<05927> (8799)

from Abraham
<085>_.

17:23

And Abraham
<085>

took
<03947> (8799)

Ishmael
<03458>

his son
<01121>_,

and all that were born
<03211>

in his house
<01004>_,

and all that were bought
<04736>

with his money
<03701>_,

every male
<02145>

among the men
<0582>

of Abraham's
<085>

house
<01004>_;

and circumcised
<04135> (8799)

the flesh
<01320>

of their foreskin
<06190>

in the selfsame
<06106>

day
<03117>_,

as God
<0430>

had said
<01696> (8765)

unto him.

17:24

And Abraham
<085>

[was] ninety
<08673>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

and nine
<08672>_,

when he was circumcised
<04135> (8736)

in the flesh
<01320>

of his foreskin
<06190>_.

17:25

And Ishmael
<03458>

his son
<01121>

[was] thirteen
<06240> <07969>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>_,

when he was circumcised
<04135> (8736)

in the flesh
<01320>

of his foreskin
<06190>_.

17:26

In the selfsame
<06106>

day
<03117>

was Abraham
<085>

circumcised
<04135> (8738)_,

and Ishmael
<03458>

his son
<01121>_.

17:27

And all the men
<0582>

of his house
<01004>_,

born
<03211>

in the house
<01004>_,

and bought
<04736>

with money
<03701>

of the stranger
<01121> <05236>_,

were circumcised
<04135> (8738)

with him.

18:1

And the LORD
<03068>

appeared
<07200> (8735)

unto him in the plains
<0436>

of Mamre
<04471>_:

and he sat
<03427> (8802)

in the tent
<0168>

door
<06607>

in the heat
<02527>

of the day
<03117>_;

{plain: Heb. plains}

18:2

And he lift up
<05375> (8799)

his eyes
<05869>

and looked
<07200> (8799)_,

and, lo, three
<07969>

men
<0582>

stood
<05324> (8737)

by him: and when he saw
<07200> (8799)

[them], he ran
<07323> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

them from the tent
<0168>

door
<06607>_,

and bowed
<07812> (8691)

himself toward the ground
<0776>_,

18:3

And said
<0559> (8799)_,

My Lord
<0136>_,

if now I have found
<04672> (8804)

favour
<02580>

in thy sight
<05869>_,

pass not away
<05674> (8799)_,

I pray thee, from thy servant
<05650>_:

18:4

Let a little
<04592>

water
<04325>_,

I pray you
<04994>_,

be fetched
<03947> (8714)_,

and wash
<07364> (8798)

your feet
<07272>_,

and rest yourselves
<08172> (8734)

under the tree
<06086>_:

18:5

And I will fetch
<03947> (8799)

a morsel
<06595>

of bread
<03899>_,

and comfort ye
<05582> (8798)

your hearts
<03820>_;

after that
<0310>

ye shall pass on
<05674> (8799)_:

for therefore are ye come
<05674> (8804)

to
<05921>

your servant
<05650>_.

And they said
<01696> (8765)_,

So do
<06213> (8799)_,

as thou hast said
<0559> (8799)_.

{comfort: Heb. stay} {are...: Heb. you have passed}

18:6

And Abraham
<085>

hastened
<04116> (8762)

into the tent
<0168>

unto Sarah
<08283>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Make ready quickly
<04116> (8761)

three
<07969>

measures
<05429>

of fine
<05560>

meal
<07058>_,

knead
<03888> (8798)

[it], and make
<06213> (0)

cakes
<05692>

upon the hearth
<06213> (8798)_.

{Make ready...: Heb. Hasten}

18:7

And Abraham
<085>

ran
<07323> (8804)

unto the herd
<01241>_,

and fetcht
<03947> (8799)

a calf
<01121> <01241>

tender
<07390>

and good
<02896>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

[it] unto a young man
<05288>_;

and he hasted
<04116> (8762)

to dress
<06213> (8800)

it.

18:8

And he took
<03947> (8799)

butter
<02529>_,

and milk
<02461>_,

and the calf
<01121> <01241>

which he had dressed
<06213> (8804)_,

and set
<05414> (8799)

[it] before them
<06440>_;

and he stood
<05975> (8802)

by them under the tree
<06086>_,

and they did eat
<0398> (8799)_.

18:9

And they said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Where
<0346>

[is] Sarah
<08283>

thy wife
<0802>_?

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, in the tent
<0168>_.

18:10

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will certainly
<07725> (8800)

return
<07725> (8799)

unto thee according to the time
<06256>

of life
<02416>_;

and, lo, Sarah
<08283>

thy wife
<0802>

shall have a son
<01121>_.

And Sarah
<08283>

heard
<08085> (8802)

[it] in the tent
<0168>

door
<06607>_,

which [was] behind him
<0310>_.

18:11

Now Abraham
<085>

and Sarah
<08283>

[were] old
<02205>

[and] well stricken
<0935> (8802)

in age
<03117>_;

[and] it ceased
<02308> (8804)

to be with Sarah
<08283>

after the manner
<0734>

of women
<0802>_.

18:12

Therefore Sarah
<08283>

laughed
<06711> (8799)

within herself
<07130>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

After
<0310>

I am waxed old
<01086> (8800)

shall I have pleasure
<05730>_,

my lord
<0113>

being old also
<02204> (8804)_?

18:13

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Abraham
<085>_,

Wherefore
<04100>

did Sarah
<08283>

laugh
<06711> (8804)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Shall I of a surety
<0552>

bear
<03205> (8799)

a child, which
<0589>

am old
<02204> (8804)_?

18:14

Is
<06381> (0)

any thing
<01697>

too hard
<06381> (8735)

for the LORD
<03068>_?

At the time appointed
<04150>

I will return
<07725> (8799)

unto thee, according to the time
<06256>

of life
<02416>_,

and Sarah
<08283>

shall have a son
<01121>_.

18:15

Then Sarah
<08283>

denied
<03584> (8762)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

I laughed
<06711> (8804)

not; for she was afraid
<03372> (8804)_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Nay
<03808>_;

but thou didst laugh
<06711> (8804)_.

18:16

And the men
<0582>

rose up
<06965> (8799)

from thence, and looked
<08259> (8686)

toward
<06440>

Sodom
<05467>_:

and Abraham
<085>

went
<01980> (8802)

with them to bring them on the way
<07971> (8763)_.

18:17

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8804)_,

Shall I hide
<03680> (8764)

from Abraham
<085>

that thing which
<0834>

I do
<06213> (8802)_;

18:18

Seeing that Abraham
<085>

shall surely become a great
<01419>

and mighty
<06099>

nation
<01471>_,

and all the nations
<01471>

of the earth
<0776>

shall be blessed
<01288> (8738)

in him?

18:19

For I know
<03045> (8804)

him, that
<0834>

he will command
<06680> (8762)

his children
<01121>

and his household
<01004>

after him
<0310>_,

and they shall keep
<08104> (8804)

the way
<01870>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

to do
<06213> (8800)

justice
<06666>

and judgment
<04941>_;

that the LORD
<03068>

may bring
<0935> (8687)

upon Abraham
<085>

that which he hath spoken
<01696> (8765)

of him.

18:20

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Because the cry
<02201>

of Sodom
<05467>

and Gomorrah
<06017>

is great
<07227>_,

and because their sin
<02403>

is very
<03966>

grievous
<03513> (8804)_;

18:21

I will go down
<03381> (8799)

now, and see
<07200> (8799)

whether they have done
<06213> (8804)

altogether
<03617>

according to the cry
<06818>

of it, which is come
<0935> (8802)

unto me; and if not, I will know
<03045> (8799)_.

18:22

And the men
<0582>

turned their faces
<06437> (8799)

from thence, and went
<03212> (8799)

toward Sodom
<05467>_:

but Abraham
<085>

stood
<05975> (8802)

yet
<05750>

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_.

18:23

And Abraham
<085>

drew near
<05066> (8799)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Wilt thou also destroy
<05595> (8799)

the righteous
<06662>

with
<05973>

the wicked
<07563>_?

18:24

Peradventure there be
<03426>

fifty
<02572>

righteous
<06662>

within
<08432>

the city
<05892>_:

wilt thou also destroy
<05595> (8799)

and not spare
<05375> (8799)

the place
<04725>

for
<04616>

the fifty
<02572>

righteous
<06662>

that [are] therein
<07130>_?

18:25

That be far
<02486>

from thee to do
<06213> (8800)

after this manner
<01697>_,

to slay
<04191> (8687)

the righteous
<06662>

with the wicked
<07563>_:

and that the righteous
<06662>

should be as the wicked
<07563>_,

that be far
<02486>

from thee: Shall not the Judge
<08199> (8802)

of all the earth
<0776>

do
<06213> (8799)

right
<04941>_?

18:26

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

If I find
<04672> (8799)

in Sodom
<05467>

fifty
<02572>

righteous
<06662>

within
<08432>

the city
<05892>_,

then I will spare
<05375> (8804)

all the place
<04725>

for their sakes.

18:27

And Abraham
<085>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold now, I have taken upon me
<02974> (8689)

to speak
<01696> (8763)

unto the Lord
<0136>_,

which
<0595>

[am but] dust
<06083>

and ashes
<0665>_:

18:28

Peradventure there shall lack
<02637> (8799)

five
<02568>

of the fifty
<02572>

righteous
<06662>_:

wilt thou destroy
<07843> (8686)

all the city
<05892>

for [lack of] five
<02568>_?

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

If I find
<04672> (8799)

there forty
<0705>

and five
<02568>_,

I will not destroy
<07843> (8686)

[it].

18:29

And he spake
<01696> (8763)

unto him yet again
<03254> (8686)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Peradventure there shall be forty
<0705>

found
<04672> (8735)

there. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will not do
<06213> (8799)

[it] for forty's
<0705>

sake.

18:30

And he said
<0559> (8799)

[unto him], Oh
<04994>

let not the Lord
<0136>

be angry
<02734> (8799)_,

and I will speak
<01696> (8762)_:

Peradventure there shall thirty
<07970>

be found
<04672> (8735)

there. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will not do
<06213> (8799)

[it], if I find
<04672> (8799)

thirty
<07970>

there.

18:31

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold now, I have taken upon me
<02974> (8689)

to speak
<01696> (8763)

unto the Lord
<0136>_:

Peradventure there shall be twenty
<06242>

found
<04672> (8735)

there. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will not destroy
<07843> (8686)

[it] for twenty's
<06242>

sake.

18:32

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Oh let not the Lord
<0136>

be angry
<02734> (8799)_,

and I will speak
<01696> (8762)

yet
<0389>

but this once
<06471>_:

Peradventure ten
<06235>

shall be found
<04672> (8735)

there. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will not destroy
<07843> (8686)

[it] for ten's
<06235>

sake.

18:33

And the LORD
<03068>

went his way
<03212> (8799)_,

as soon as
<0834>

he had left
<03615> (8765)

communing
<01696> (8763)

with Abraham
<085>_:

and Abraham
<085>

returned
<07725> (8804)

unto his place
<04725>_.

19:1

And there came
<0935> (8799)

two
<08147>

angels
<04397>

to Sodom
<05467>

at even
<06153>_;

and Lot
<03876>

sat
<03427> (8802)

in the gate
<08179>

of Sodom
<05467>_:

and Lot
<03876>

seeing
<07200> (8799)

[them] rose up
<06965> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

them; and he bowed
<07812> (8691)

himself with his face
<0639>

toward the ground
<0776>_;

19:2

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold now, my lords
<0113>_,

turn in
<05493> (8798)_,

I pray you, into your servant's
<05650>

house
<01004>_,

and tarry all night
<03885> (8798)_,

and wash
<07364> (8798)

your feet
<07272>_,

and ye shall rise up early
<07925> (8689)_,

and go
<01980> (8804)

on your ways
<01870>_.

And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

Nay; but we will abide
<03885> (0)

in the street
<07339>

all night
<03885> (8799)_.

19:3

And he pressed
<06484> (8799)

upon them greatly
<03966>_;

and they turned in
<05493> (8799)

unto him, and entered
<0935> (8799)

into his house
<01004>_;

and he made
<06213> (8799)

them a feast
<04960>_,

and did bake
<0644> (8804)

unleavened bread
<04682>_,

and they did eat
<0398> (8799)_.

19:4

But before they lay down
<07901> (8799)_,

the men
<0582>

of the city
<05892>_,

[even] the men
<0582>

of Sodom
<05467>_,

compassed
<05437> (0)

the house
<01004>

round
<05437> (8738)_,

both old
<02205>

and young
<05288>_,

all the people
<05971>

from every quarter
<07097>_:

19:5

And they called
<07121> (8799)

unto Lot
<03876>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Where [are] the men
<0582>

which came in
<0935> (8804)

to thee this night
<03915>_?

bring them out
<03318> (8685)

unto us, that we may know
<03045> (8799)

them.

19:6

And Lot
<03876>

went out
<03318> (8799)

at the door
<06607>

unto them, and shut
<05462> (8804)

the door
<01817>

after him
<0310>_,

19:7

And said
<0559> (8799)_,

I pray you, brethren
<0251>_,

do not so wickedly
<07489> (8686)_.

19:8

Behold now, I have two
<08147>

daughters
<01323>

which have not known
<03045> (8804)

man
<0376>_;

let me, I pray you, bring them out
<03318> (8686)

unto you, and do
<06213> (8798)

ye to them as [is] good
<02896>

in your eyes
<05869>_:

only unto these
<0411>

men
<0582>

do
<06213> (8799)

nothing
<0408> <01697>_;

for therefore came
<0935> (8804)

they under the shadow
<06738>

of my roof
<06982>_.

19:9

And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

Stand
<05066> (8798)

back
<01973>_.

And they said
<0559> (8799)

[again], This one
<0259>

[fellow] came in
<0935> (8804)

to sojourn
<01481> (8800)_,

and he will needs
<08199> (8800)

be a judge
<08199> (8799)_:

now will we deal worse
<07489> (8686)

with thee, than with them. And they pressed
<06484> (8799)

sore
<03966>

upon the man
<0376>_,

[even] Lot
<03876>_,

and came near
<05066> (8799)

to break
<07665> (8800)

the door
<01817>_.

19:10

But the men
<0582>

put forth
<07971> (8799)

their hand
<03027>_,

and pulled
<0935> (8686)

Lot
<03876>

into the house
<01004>

to them, and shut
<05462> (8804)

to the door
<01817>_.

19:11

And they smote
<05221> (8689)

the men
<0582>

that [were] at the door
<06607>

of the house
<01004>

with blindness
<05575>_,

both small
<06996>

and great
<01419>_:

so that they wearied
<03811> (8799)

themselves to find
<04672> (8800)

the door
<06607>_.

19:12

And the men
<0582>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Lot
<03876>_,

Hast thou here
<06311>

any
<04310>

besides? son in law
<02860>_,

and thy sons
<01121>_,

and thy daughters
<01323>_,

and whatsoever
<0834>

thou hast in the city
<05892>_,

bring [them] out
<03318> (8685)

of this place
<04725>_:

19:13

For we
<0587>

will destroy
<07843> (8688) <0853>

this place
<04725>_,

because the cry of them
<06818>

is waxen great
<01431> (8804)

before
<0854>

the face
<06440>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

and the LORD
<03068>

hath sent
<07971> (8762)

us to destroy
<07843> (8763)

it.

19:14

And Lot
<03876>

went out
<03318> (8799)_,

and spake
<01696> (8762)

unto his sons in law
<02860>_,

which married
<03947> (8802)

his daughters
<01323>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Up
<06965> (8798)_,

get you out
<03318> (8798)

of this place
<04725>_;

for the LORD
<03068>

will destroy
<07843> (8688)

this city
<05892>_.

But he seemed as one that mocked
<06711> (8764)

unto
<05869>

his sons in law
<02860>_.

19:15

And when
<03644>

the morning
<07837>

arose
<05927> (8804)_,

then the angels
<04397>

hastened
<0213> (8686)

Lot
<03876>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

take
<03947> (8798)

thy wife
<0802>_,

and thy two
<08147>

daughters
<01323>_,

which are here
<04672> (8737)_;

lest thou be consumed
<05595> (8735)

in the iniquity
<05771>

of the city
<05892>_.

{are here: Heb. are found} {iniquity: or, punishment}

19:16

And while he lingered
<04102> (8698)_,

the men
<0582>

laid hold
<02388> (8686)

upon his hand
<03027>_,

and upon the hand
<03027>

of his wife
<0802>_,

and upon the hand
<03027>

of his two
<08147>

daughters
<01323>_;

the LORD
<03068>

being merciful
<02551>

unto him: and they brought him forth
<03318> (8686)_,

and set him
<03240> (8686)

without
<02351>

the city
<05892>_.

19:17

And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth
<03318> (8687)

abroad
<02351>_,

that he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Escape
<04422> (8734)

for
<05921>

thy life
<05315>_;

look
<05027> (8686)

not behind thee
<0310>_,

neither stay
<05975> (8799)

thou in all the plain
<03603>_;

escape
<04422> (8734)

to the mountain
<02022>_,

lest thou be consumed
<05595> (8735)_.

19:18

And Lot
<03876>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord
<0113>_:

19:19

Behold now, thy servant
<05650>

hath found
<04672> (8804)

grace
<02580>

in thy sight
<05869>_,

and thou hast magnified
<01431> (8686)

thy mercy
<02617>_,

which thou hast shewed
<06213> (8804)

unto me
<05978>

in saving
<02421> (8687)

my life
<05315>_;

and I cannot
<03201> (8799)

escape
<04422> (8736)

to the mountain
<02022>_,

lest some evil
<07451>

take
<01692> (8799)

me, and I die
<04191> (8804)_:

19:20

Behold now, this city
<05892>

[is] near
<07138>

to flee
<05127> (8800)

unto, and it
<01931>

[is] a little one
<04705>_:

Oh, let me escape
<04422> (8735)

thither, ([is] it not a little one
<04705>?)

and my soul
<05315>

shall live
<02421> (8799)_.

19:21

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, See
<02009>_,

I have accepted
<05375> (8804)

thee
<06440>

concerning this thing
<01697>

also, that I will not overthrow
<02015> (8800)

this city
<05892>_,

for the which
<0834>

thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)_.

{thee: Heb. thy face}

19:22

Haste
<04116> (8761)

thee, escape
<04422> (8734)

thither; for I cannot
<03201> (8799)

do
<06213> (8800)

any thing
<01697>

till thou be come
<0935> (8800)

thither. Therefore the name
<08034>

of the city
<05892>

was called
<07121> (8804)

Zoar
<06820>_.

{Zoar: that is, Little}

19:23

The sun
<08121>

was risen
<03318> (8804)

upon the earth
<0776>

when Lot
<03876>

entered
<0935> (8804)

into Zoar
<06820>_.

{risen: Heb. gone forth}

19:24

Then the LORD
<03068>

rained
<04305> (8689)

upon Sodom
<05467>

and upon Gomorrah
<06017>

brimstone
<01614>

and fire
<0784>

from the LORD
<03068>

out of heaven
<08064>_;

19:25

And he overthrew
<02015> (8799)

those
<0411>

cities
<05892>_,

and all the plain
<03603>_,

and all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the cities
<05892>_,

and that which grew
<06780>

upon the ground
<0127>_.

19:26

But his wife
<0802>

looked back
<05027> (8686)

from behind him
<0310>_,

and she became a pillar
<05333>

of salt
<04417>_.

19:27

And Abraham
<085>

gat up early
<07925> (8686)

in the morning
<01242>

to the place
<04725>

where he stood
<05975> (8804)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_:

19:28

And he looked
<08259> (8686)

toward
<06440>

Sodom
<05467>

and Gomorrah
<06017>_,

and toward
<06440>

all the land
<0776>

of the plain
<03603>_,

and beheld
<07200> (8799)_,

and, lo, the smoke
<07008>

of the country
<0776>

went up
<05927> (8804)

as the smoke
<07008>

of a furnace
<03536>_.

19:29

And it came to pass, when God
<0430>

destroyed
<07843> (8763)

the cities
<05892>

of the plain
<03603>_,

that God
<0430>

remembered
<02142> (8799)

Abraham
<085>_,

and sent
<07971> (8762)

Lot
<03876>

out of the midst
<08432>

of the overthrow
<02018>_,

when he overthrew
<02015> (8800)

the cities
<05892>

in the which
<02004>

Lot
<03876>

dwelt
<03427> (8804)_.

19:30

And Lot
<03876>

went up
<05927> (8799)

out of Zoar
<06820>_,

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in the mountain
<02022>_,

and his two
<08147>

daughters
<01323>

with him; for he feared
<03372> (8804)

to dwell
<03427> (8800)

in Zoar
<06820>_:

and he dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in a cave
<04631>_,

he and his two
<08147>

daughters
<01323>_.

19:31

And the firstborn
<01067>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the younger
<06810>_,

Our father
<01>

[is] old
<02204> (8804)_,

and [there is] not a man
<0376>

in the earth
<0776>

to come in
<0935> (8800)

unto us after the manner
<01870>

of all the earth
<0776>_:

19:32

Come
<03212> (8798)_,

let us make
<08248> (0)

our father
<01>

drink
<08248> (8686)

wine
<03196>_,

and we will lie
<07901> (8799)

with him, that we may preserve
<02421> (8762)

seed
<02233>

of our father
<01>_.

19:33

And they made
<08248> (0)

their father
<01>

drink
<08248> (8686)

wine
<03196>

that night
<03915>_:

and the firstborn
<01067>

went in
<0935> (8799)_,

and lay
<07901> (8799)

with her father
<01>_;

and he perceived
<03045> (8804)

not when she lay down
<07901> (8800)_,

nor when she arose
<06965> (8800)_.

19:34

And it came to pass on the morrow
<04283>_,

that the firstborn
<01067>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the younger
<06810>_,

Behold, I lay
<07901> (8804)

yesternight
<0570>

with my father
<01>_:

let us make him drink
<08248> (8686)

wine
<03196>

this night
<03915>

also; and go thou in
<0935> (8798)_,

[and] lie
<07901> (8798)

with him, that we may preserve
<02421> (8762)

seed
<02233>

of our father
<01>_.

19:35

And they made
<08248> (0)

their father
<01>

drink
<08248> (8686)

wine
<03196>

that
<01931>

night
<03915>

also: and the younger
<06810>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and lay
<07901> (8799)

with him; and he perceived
<03045> (8804)

not when she lay down
<07901> (8800)_,

nor when she arose
<06965> (8800)_.

19:36

Thus were both
<08147>

the daughters
<01323>

of Lot
<03876>

with child
<02029> (8799)

by their father
<01>_.

19:37

And the firstborn
<01067>

bare
<03205> (8799)

a son
<01121>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

his name
<08034>

Moab
<04124>_:

the same
<01931>

[is] the father
<01>

of the Moabites
<04124>

unto this day
<03117>_.

19:38

And the younger
<06810>_,

she also bare
<03205> (8804)

a son
<01121>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

his name
<08034>

Benammi
<01151>_:

the same [is] the father
<01>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

unto this day
<03117>_.

20:1

And Abraham
<085>

journeyed
<05265> (8799)

from thence toward the south
<05045>

country
<0776>_,

and dwelled
<03427> (8799)

between Kadesh
<06946>

and Shur
<07793>_,

and sojourned
<01481> (8799)

in Gerar
<01642>_.

20:2

And Abraham
<085>

said
<0559> (8799)

of
<0413>

Sarah
<08283>

his wife
<0802>_,

She [is] my sister
<0269>_:

and Abimelech
<040>

king
<04428>

of Gerar
<01642>

sent
<07971> (8799)_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

Sarah
<08283>_.

20:3

But God
<0430>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Abimelech
<040>

in a dream
<02472>

by night
<03915>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

to him, Behold, thou [art but] a dead man
<04191> (8801)_,

for the woman
<0802>

which thou hast taken
<03947> (8804)_;

for she [is] a man's
<01167>

wife
<01166> (8803)_.

{a man's...: Heb. married to an husband}

20:4

But Abimelech
<040>

had not come near
<07126> (8804)

her: and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Lord
<0136>_,

wilt thou slay
<02026> (8799)

also a righteous
<06662>

nation
<01471>_?

20:5

Said
<0559> (8804)

he not unto me, She
<01931>

[is] my sister
<0269>_?

and she
<01931>_,

even
<01571>

she
<01931>

herself said
<0559> (8804)_,

He [is] my brother
<0251>_:

in the integrity
<08537>

of my heart
<03824>

and innocency
<05356>

of my hands
<03709>

have I done
<06213> (8804)

this. {integrity: or, simplicity, or, sincerity}

20:6

And God
<0430>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him in a dream
<02472>_,

Yea
<01571>_,

I know
<03045> (8804)

that thou didst
<06213> (8804)

this in the integrity
<08537>

of thy heart
<03824>_;

for I also withheld
<02820> (8799)

thee from sinning
<02398> (8800)

against me: therefore suffered
<05414> (8804)

I thee not to touch
<05060> (8800)

her.

20:7

Now therefore restore
<07725> (8685)

the man
<0376>

[his] wife
<0802>_;

for he [is] a prophet
<05030>_,

and he shall pray
<06419> (8691)

for thee
<01157>_,

and thou shalt live
<02421> (8798)_:

and if thou restore
<07725> (8688)

[her] not, know
<03045> (8798)

thou that thou shalt surely
<04191> (8800)

die
<04191> (8799)_,

thou, and all that [are] thine.

20:8

Therefore Abimelech
<040>

rose early
<07925> (8686)

in the morning
<01242>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

all his servants
<05650>_,

and told
<01696> (8762)

all these things
<01697>

in their ears
<0241>_:

and the men
<0582>

were sore
<03966>

afraid
<03372> (8799)_.

20:9

Then Abimelech
<040>

called
<07121> (8799)

Abraham
<085>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, What hast thou done
<06213> (8804)

unto us? and what have I offended
<02398> (8804)

thee, that thou hast brought
<0935> (8689)

on me and on my kingdom
<04467>

a great
<01419>

sin
<02401>_?

thou hast done
<06213> (8804)

deeds
<04639>

unto me that ought not to be done
<06213> (8735)_.

20:10

And Abimelech
<040>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Abraham
<085>_,

What
<04100>

sawest thou
<07200> (8804)_,

that thou hast done
<06213> (8804)

this thing
<01697>_?

20:11

And Abraham
<085>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Because I thought
<0559> (8804)_,

Surely
<07535>

the fear
<03374>

of God
<0430>

[is] not in this place
<04725>_;

and they will slay me
<02026> (8804)

for my wife's
<0802>

sake
<01697>_.

20:12

And yet indeed
<0546>

[she is] my sister
<0269>_;

she [is] the daughter
<01323>

of my father
<01>_,

but not the daughter
<01323>

of my mother
<0517>_;

and she became my wife
<0802>_.

20:13

And it came to pass, when God
<0430>

caused me to wander
<08582> (8689)

from my father's
<01>

house
<01004>_,

that I said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, This [is] thy kindness
<02617>

which thou shalt shew
<06213> (8799)

unto me; at every place
<04725>

whither we shall come
<0935> (8799)_,

say
<0559> (8798)

of me, He [is] my brother
<0251>_.

20:14

And Abimelech
<040>

took
<03947> (8799)

sheep
<06629>_,

and oxen
<01241>_,

and menservants
<05650>_,

and womenservants
<08198>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

[them] unto Abraham
<085>_,

and restored
<07725> (8686)

him Sarah
<08283>

his wife
<0802>_.

20:15

And Abimelech
<040>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, my land
<0776>

[is] before thee
<06440>_:

dwell
<03427> (8798)

where it pleaseth
<02896> <05869>

thee. {where...: Heb. as is good in thine eyes}

20:16

And unto Sarah
<08283>

he said
<0559> (8804)_,

Behold, I have given
<05414> (8804)

thy brother
<0251>

a thousand
<0505>

[pieces] of silver
<03701>_:

behold, he [is] to thee a covering
<03682>

of the eyes
<05869>_,

unto all that [are] with thee, and with all [other]: thus she was reproved
<03198> (8737)_.

20:17

So Abraham
<085>

prayed
<06419> (8691)

unto God
<0430>_:

and God
<0430>

healed
<07495> (8799)

Abimelech
<040>_,

and his wife
<0802>_,

and his maidservants
<0519>_;

and they bare
<03205> (8799)

[children].

20:18

For the LORD
<03068>

had fast
<06113> (8800)

closed up
<06113> (8804)

all the wombs
<07358>

of the house
<01004>

of Abimelech
<040>_,

because
<01697>

of Sarah
<08283>

Abraham's
<085>

wife
<0802>_.

21:1

And the LORD
<03068>

visited
<06485> (8804)

Sarah
<08283>

as he had said
<0559> (8804)_,

and the LORD
<03068>

did
<06213> (8799)

unto Sarah
<08283>

as he had spoken
<01696> (8765)_.

21:2

For Sarah
<08283>

conceived
<02029> (8799)_,

and bare
<03205> (8799)

Abraham
<085>

a son
<01121>

in his old age
<02208>_,

at the set time
<04150>

of which God
<0430>

had spoken
<01696> (8765)

to him.

21:3

And Abraham
<085>

called
<07121> (8799)

the name
<08034>

of his son
<01121>

that was born
<03205> (8737)

unto him, whom Sarah
<08283>

bare
<03205> (8804)

to him, Isaac
<03327>_.

21:4

And Abraham
<085>

circumcised
<04135> (8799)

his son
<01121>

Isaac
<03327>

being eight
<08083>

days
<03117>

old
<01121>_,

as God
<0430>

had commanded
<06680> (8765)

him.

21:5

And Abraham
<085>

was an hundred
<03967>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>_,

when his son
<01121>

Isaac
<03327>

was born
<03205> (8736)

unto him.

21:6

And Sarah
<08283>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

God
<0430>

hath made
<06213> (8804)

me to laugh
<06712>_,

[so that] all that hear
<08085> (8802)

will laugh
<06711> (8799)

with me.

21:7

And she said
<0559> (8799)_,

Who would have said
<04448> (8765)

unto Abraham
<085>_,

that Sarah
<08283>

should have given children
<01121>

suck
<03243> (8689)_?

for I have born
<03205> (8804)

[him] a son
<01121>

in his old age
<02208>_.

21:8

And the child
<03206>

grew
<01431> (8799)_,

and was weaned
<01580> (8735)_:

and Abraham
<085>

made
<06213> (8799)

a great
<01419>

feast
<04960>

the [same] day
<03117>

that Isaac
<03327>

was weaned
<01580> (8736)_.

21:9

And Sarah
<08283>

saw
<07200> (8799)

the son
<01121>

of Hagar
<01904>

the Egyptian
<04713>_,

which she had born
<03205> (8804)

unto Abraham
<085>_,

mocking
<06711> (8764)_.

21:10

Wherefore she said
<0559> (8799)

unto Abraham
<085>_,

Cast out
<01644> (8761)

this bondwoman
<0519>

and her son
<01121>_:

for the son
<01121>

of this bondwoman
<0519>

shall not be heir
<03423> (8799)

with my son
<01121>_,

[even] with Isaac
<03327>_.

21:11

And the thing
<01697>

was very
<03966>

grievous
<03415> (8799)

in Abraham's
<085>

sight
<05869>

because
<0182>

of his son
<01121>_.

21:12

And God
<0430>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Abraham
<085>_,

Let it not be grievous
<03415> (8799)

in thy sight
<05869>

because of the lad
<05288>_,

and because of thy bondwoman
<0519>_;

in all that Sarah
<08283>

hath said
<0559> (8799)

unto thee, hearken
<08085> (8798)

unto her voice
<06963>_;

for in Isaac
<03327>

shall thy seed
<02233>

be called
<07121> (8735)_.

21:13

And also of the son
<01121>

of the bondwoman
<0519>

will I make
<07760> (8799)

a nation
<01471>_,

because he [is] thy seed
<02233>_.

21:14

And Abraham
<085>

rose up early
<07925> (8686)

in the morning
<01242>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

bread
<03899>_,

and a bottle
<02573>

of water
<04325>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

[it] unto Hagar
<01904>_,

putting
<07760> (8804)

[it] on her shoulder
<07926>_,

and the child
<03206>_,

and sent her away
<07971> (8762)_:

and she departed
<03212> (8799)_,

and wandered
<08582> (8799)

in the wilderness
<04057>

of Beersheba
<0884>_.

21:15

And the water
<04325>

was spent
<03615> (8799)

in
<04480>

the bottle
<02573>_,

and she cast
<07993> (8686)

the child
<03206>

under one
<0259>

of the shrubs
<07880>_.

21:16

And she went
<03212> (8799)_,

and sat her down
<03427> (8799)

over against
<05048>

[him] a good way off
<07368> (8687)_,

as it were a bowshot
<02909> (8764) <07198>_:

for she said
<0559> (8804)_,

Let me not see
<07200> (8799)

the death
<04194>

of the child
<03206>_.

And she sat
<03427> (8799)

over against [him], and lift up
<05375> (8799)

her voice
<06963>_,

and wept
<01058> (8799)_.

21:17

And God
<0430>

heard
<08085> (8804)

the voice
<06963>

of the lad
<05288>_;

and the angel
<04397>

of God
<0430>

called
<07121> (8799)

to Hagar
<01904>

out of heaven
<08064>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar
<01904>_?

fear
<03372> (8799)

not; for God
<0430>

hath heard
<08085> (8799)

the voice
<06963>

of the lad
<05288>

where he [is].

21:18

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

lift up
<05375> (8798)

the lad
<05288>_,

and hold
<02388> (8685)

him in thine hand
<03027>_;

for I will make
<07760> (8799)

him a great
<01419>

nation
<01471>_.

21:19

And God
<0430>

opened
<06491> (8799)

her eyes
<05869>_,

and she saw
<07200> (8799)

a well
<0875>

of water
<04325>_;

and she went
<03212> (8799)_,

and filled
<04390> (8762)

the bottle
<02573>

with water
<04325>_,

and gave
<08248> (0)

the lad
<05288>

drink
<08248> (8686)_.

21:20

And God
<0430>

was with the lad
<05288>_;

and he grew
<01431> (8799)_,

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in the wilderness
<04057>_,

and became an archer
<07235> (8802) <07199>_.

21:21

And he dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in the wilderness
<04057>

of Paran
<06290>_:

and his mother
<0517>

took
<03947> (8799)

him a wife
<0802>

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

21:22

And it came to pass at that time
<06256>_,

that Abimelech
<040>

and Phichol
<06369>

the chief captain
<08269>

of his host
<06635>

spake
<0559> (8799)

unto Abraham
<085>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

God
<0430>

[is] with thee in all that thou doest
<06213> (8802)_:

21:23

Now therefore swear
<07650> (8734)

unto me here
<02008>

by God
<0430>

that thou wilt not deal falsely
<08266> (8799)

with me, nor with my son
<05209>_,

nor with my son's son
<05220>_:

[but] according to the kindness
<02617>

that I have done
<06213> (8804)

unto thee, thou shalt do
<06213> (8799)

unto me, and to the land
<0776>

wherein thou hast sojourned
<01481> (8804)_.

{that thou...: Heb. if thou shalt lie unto me}

21:24

And Abraham
<085>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will swear
<07650> (8735)_.

21:25

And Abraham
<085>

reproved
<03198> (8689)

Abimelech
<040>

because
<0182>

of a well
<0875>

of water
<04325>_,

which Abimelech's
<040>

servants
<05650>

had violently taken away
<01497> (8804)_.

21:26

And Abimelech
<040>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

I wot
<03045> (8804)

not who hath done
<06213> (8804)

this thing
<01697>_:

neither
<03808>

didst thou tell
<05046> (8689)

me, neither
<03808>

yet heard
<08085> (8804)

I [of it], but
<01115>

to day
<03117>_.

21:27

And Abraham
<085>

took
<03947> (8799)

sheep
<06629>

and oxen
<01241>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

them unto Abimelech
<040>_;

and both of them
<08147>

made
<03772> (8799)

a covenant
<01285>_.

21:28

And Abraham
<085>

set
<05324> (8686)

seven
<07651>

ewe lambs
<03535>

of the flock
<06629>

by themselves.

21:29

And Abimelech
<040>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Abraham
<085>_,

What
<02008>

[mean] these seven
<07651>

ewe lambs
<03535>

which thou hast set
<05324> (8689)

by themselves?

21:30

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

For [these] seven
<07651>

ewe lambs
<03535>

shalt thou take
<03947> (8799)

of my hand
<03027>_,

that
<05668>

they may be a witness
<05713>

unto me, that I have digged
<02658> (8804)

this well
<0875>_.

21:31

Wherefore he called
<07121> (8804)

that place
<04725>

Beersheba
<0884>_;

because there they sware
<07650> (8738)

both of them
<08147>_.

{Beersheba: that is, The well of the oath}

21:32

Thus they made
<03772> (8799)

a covenant
<01285>

at Beersheba
<0884>_:

then Abimelech
<040>

rose up
<06965> (8799)_,

and Phichol
<06369>

the chief captain
<08269>

of his host
<06635>_,

and they returned
<07725> (8799)

into the land
<0776>

of the Philistines
<06430>_.

21:33

And [Abraham] planted
<05193> (8799)

a grove
<0815>

in Beersheba
<0884>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

there on the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

the everlasting
<05769>

God
<0410>_.

{grove: or, tree}

21:34

And Abraham
<085>

sojourned
<01481> (8799)

in the Philistines
<06430>_'

land
<0776>

many
<07227>

days
<03117>_.

22:1

And it came to pass after
<0310>

these things
<01697>_,

that God
<0430>

did tempt
<05254> (8765)

Abraham
<085>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Abraham
<085>_:

and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, [here] I [am]. {Behold...: Heb. Behold me}

22:2

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Take now
<03947> (8798)

thy son
<01121>_,

thine only
<03173>

[son] Isaac
<03327>_,

whom thou lovest
<0157> (8804)_,

and get thee
<03212> (8798)

into the land
<0776>

of Moriah
<04179>_;

and offer him
<05927> (8685)

there for a burnt offering
<05930>

upon one
<0259>

of the mountains
<02022>

which I will tell
<0559> (8799)

thee of.

22:3

And Abraham
<085>

rose up early
<07925> (8686)

in the morning
<01242>_,

and saddled
<02280> (8799)

his ass
<02543>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

two
<08147>

of his young men
<05288>

with him, and Isaac
<03327>

his son
<01121>_,

and clave
<01234> (8762)

the wood
<06086>

for the burnt offering
<05930>_,

and rose up
<06965> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

unto the place
<04725>

of which God
<0430>

had told
<0559> (8804)

him.

22:4

Then on the third
<07992>

day
<03117>

Abraham
<085>

lifted up
<05375> (8799)

his eyes
<05869>_,

and saw
<07200> (8799)

the place
<04725>

afar off
<07350>_.

22:5

And Abraham
<085>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his young men
<05288>_,

Abide
<03427> (8798)

ye here with the ass
<02543>_;

and I and the lad
<05288>

will go
<03212> (8799)

yonder
<03541>

and worship
<07812> (8691)_,

and come again
<07725> (8799)

to you.

22:6

And Abraham
<085>

took
<03947> (8799)

the wood
<06086>

of the burnt offering
<05930>_,

and laid
<07760> (8799)

[it] upon Isaac
<03327>

his son
<01121>_;

and he took
<03947> (8799)

the fire
<0784>

in his hand
<03027>_,

and a knife
<03979>_;

and they went
<03212> (8799)

both
<08147>

of them together
<03162>_.

22:7

And Isaac
<03327>

spake
<0559> (8799)

unto Abraham
<085>

his father
<01>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

My father
<01>_:

and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Here [am] I, my son
<01121>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold the fire
<0784>

and the wood
<06086>_:

but where [is] the lamb
<07716>

for a burnt offering
<05930>_?

{lamb: or, kid}

22:8

And Abraham
<085>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

My son
<01121>_,

God
<0430>

will provide
<07200> (8799)

himself a lamb
<07716>

for a burnt offering
<05930>_:

so they went
<03212> (8799)

both of them
<08147>

together
<03162>_.

22:9

And they came
<0935> (8799)

to the place
<04725>

which God
<0430>

had told
<0559> (8804)

him of; and Abraham
<085>

built
<01129> (8799)

an altar
<04196>

there, and laid
<06186> (0)

the wood
<06086>

in order
<06186> (8799)_,

and bound
<06123> (8799)

Isaac
<03327>

his son
<01121>_,

and laid
<07760> (8799)

him on the altar
<04196>

upon
<04605>

the wood
<06086>_.

22:10

And Abraham
<085>

stretched forth
<07971> (8799)

his hand
<03027>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

the knife
<03979>

to slay
<07819> (8800)

his son
<01121>_.

22:11

And the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

called
<07121> (8799)

unto him out of heaven
<08064>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Abraham
<085>_,

Abraham
<085>_:

and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Here [am] I.

22:12

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Lay
<07971> (8799)

not thine hand
<03027>

upon
<0413>

the lad
<05288>_,

neither do thou
<06213> (8799)

any thing
<03972>

unto him: for now
<06258>

I know
<03045> (8804)

that thou fearest
<03373>

God
<0430>_,

seeing thou hast not
<03808>

withheld
<02820> (8804)

thy son
<01121>_,

thine only
<03173>

[son] from me.

22:13

And Abraham
<085>

lifted up
<05375> (8799)

his eyes
<05869>_,

and looked
<07200> (8799)_,

and behold behind
<0310>

[him] a ram
<0352>

caught
<0270> (8737)

in a thicket
<05442>

by his horns
<07161>_:

and Abraham
<085>

went
<03212> (8799)

and took
<03947> (8799)

the ram
<0352>_,

and offered him up
<05927> (8686)

for a burnt offering
<05930>

in the stead
<08478>

of his son
<01121>_.

22:14

And Abraham
<085>

called
<07121> (8799)

the name
<08034>

of that place
<04725>

Jehovahjireh
<03070>_:

as
<0834>

it is said
<0559> (8735)

[to] this day
<03117>_,

In the mount
<02022>

of the LORD
<03068>

it shall be seen
<07200> (8735)_.

{Jehovahjireh: that is, The Lord will see, or, provide}

22:15

And the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

called
<07121> (8799)

unto Abraham
<085>

out of heaven
<08064>

the second time
<08145>_,

22:16

And said
<0559> (8799)_,

By myself have I sworn
<07650> (8738)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

for because
<03282> <0834>

thou hast done
<06213> (8804)

this thing
<01697>_,

and hast not
<03808>

withheld
<02820> (8804)

thy son
<01121>_,

thine only
<03173>

[son]:

22:17

That in blessing
<01288> (8763)

I will bless
<01288> (8762)

thee, and in multiplying
<07235> (8687)

I will multiply
<07235> (8686)

thy seed
<02233>

as the stars
<03556>

of the heaven
<08064>_,

and as the sand
<02344>

which [is] upon the sea
<03220>

shore
<08193>_;

and thy seed
<02233>

shall possess
<03423> (8799)

the gate
<08179>

of his enemies
<0341> (8802)_;

{shore: Heb. lip}

22:18

And in thy seed
<02233>

shall all the nations
<01471>

of the earth
<0776>

be blessed
<01288> (8694)_;

because
<0834> <06118>

thou hast obeyed
<08085> (8804)

my voice
<06963>_.

22:19

So Abraham
<085>

returned
<07725> (8799)

unto his young men
<05288>_,

and they rose up
<06965> (8799)

and went
<03212> (8799)

together
<03162>

to Beersheba
<0884>_;

and Abraham
<085>

dwelt
<03427> (8799)

at Beersheba
<0884>_.

22:20

And it came to pass after
<0310>

these things
<01697>_,

that it was told
<05046> (8714)

Abraham
<085>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, Milcah
<04435>_,

she hath also born
<03205> (8804)

children
<01121>

unto thy brother
<0251>

Nahor
<05152>_;

22:21

Huz
<05780>

his firstborn
<01060>_,

and Buz
<0938>

his brother
<0251>_,

and Kemuel
<07055>

the father
<01>

of Aram
<0758>_,

22:22

And Chesed
<03777>_,

and Hazo
<02375>_,

and Pildash
<06394>_,

and Jidlaph
<03044>_,

and Bethuel
<01328>_.

22:23

And Bethuel
<01328>

begat
<03205> (8804)

Rebekah
<07259>_:

these eight
<08083>

Milcah
<04435>

did bear
<03205> (8804)

to Nahor
<05152>_,

Abraham's
<085>

brother
<0251>_.

{Rebekah: Gr. Rebecca}

22:24

And his concubine
<06370>_,

whose name
<08034>

[was] Reumah
<07208>_,

she bare
<03205> (8799)

also Tebah
<02875>_,

and Gaham
<01514>_,

and Thahash
<08477>_,

and Maachah
<04601>_.

23:1

And Sarah
<08283>

was an hundred
<03967> <08141>

and seven
<07651> <08141>

and twenty
<06242>

years
<08141>

old
<02416>_:

[these were] the years
<08141>

of the life
<02416>

of Sarah
<08283>_.

23:2

And Sarah
<08283>

died
<04191> (8799)

in Kirjatharba
<07153>_;

the same [is] Hebron
<02275>

in the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_:

and Abraham
<085>

came
<0935> (8799)

to mourn
<05594> (8800)

for Sarah
<08283>_,

and to weep
<01058> (8800)

for her.

23:3

And Abraham
<085>

stood up
<06965> (8799)

from before
<06440>

his dead
<04191> (8801)_,

and spake
<01696> (8762)

unto the sons
<01121>

of Heth
<02845>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

23:4

I [am] a stranger
<01616>

and a sojourner
<08453>

with you: give
<05414> (8798)

me a possession
<0272>

of a buryingplace
<06913>

with you, that I may bury
<06912> (8799)

my dead
<04191> (8801)

out of my sight
<06440>_.

23:5

And the children
<01121>

of Heth
<02845>

answered
<06030> (8799)

Abraham
<085>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)

unto him,

23:6

Hear us
<08085> (8798)_,

my lord
<0113>_:

thou [art] a mighty
<0430>

prince
<05387>

among us
<08432>_:

in the choice
<04005>

of our sepulchres
<06913>

bury
<06912> (8798)

thy dead
<04191> (8801)_;

none
<03808> <0376>

of us shall withhold
<03607> (8799)

from thee his sepulchre
<06913>_,

but that thou mayest bury
<06912> (8800)

thy dead
<04191> (8801)_.

{a mighty...: Heb. a prince of God}

23:7

And Abraham
<085>

stood up
<06965> (8799)_,

and bowed
<07812> (8691)

himself to the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>_,

[even] to the children
<01121>

of Heth
<02845>_.

23:8

And he communed
<01696> (8762)

with them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

If it be
<03426>

your mind
<05315>

that I should bury
<06912> (8800)

my dead
<04191> (8801)

out of my sight
<06440>_;

hear
<08085> (8798)

me, and intreat
<06293> (8798)

for me to Ephron
<06085>

the son
<01121>

of Zohar
<06714>_,

23:9

That he may give
<05414> (8799)

me the cave
<04631>

of Machpelah
<04375>_,

which he hath, which [is] in the end
<07097>

of his field
<07704>_;

for as much
<04392> (0)

money
<03701>

as it is worth
<04392>

he shall give it
<05414> (8799)

me for a possession
<0272>

of a buryingplace
<06913>

amongst you
<08432>_.

{as much...: Heb. full money}

23:10

And Ephron
<06085>

dwelt
<03427> (8802)

among
<08432>

the children
<01121>

of Heth
<02845>_:

and Ephron
<06085>

the Hittite
<02850>

answered
<06030> (8799)

Abraham
<085>

in the audience
<0241>

of the children
<01121>

of Heth
<02845>_,

[even] of all that went in
<0935> (8802)

at the gate
<08179>

of his city
<05892>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

{audience: Heb. ears}

23:11

Nay
<03808>_,

my lord
<0113>_,

hear me
<08085> (8798)_:

the field
<07704>

give I
<05414> (8804)

thee, and the cave
<04631>

that [is] therein, I give it
<05414> (8804)

thee; in the presence
<05869>

of the sons
<01121>

of my people
<05971>

give
<05414> (8804)

I it thee: bury
<06912> (8798)

thy dead
<04191> (8801)_.

23:12

And Abraham
<085>

bowed down
<07812> (8691)

himself before
<06440>

the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>_.

23:13

And he spake
<01696> (8762)

unto Ephron
<06085>

in the audience
<0241>

of the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

But if thou [wilt give it], I pray thee
<03863>_,

hear
<08085> (8798)

me: I will give
<05414> (8804)

thee money
<03701>

for the field
<07704>_;

take
<03947> (8798)

[it] of me, and I will bury
<06912> (8799)

my dead
<04191> (8801)

there.

23:14

And Ephron
<06085>

answered
<06030> (8799)

Abraham
<085>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)

unto him,

23:15

My lord
<0113>_,

hearken
<08085> (8798)

unto me: the land
<0776>

[is worth] four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>

shekels
<08255>

of silver
<03701>_;

what [is] that betwixt
<0996>

me and thee? bury
<06912> (8798)

therefore thy dead
<04191> (8801)_.

23:16

And Abraham
<085>

hearkened
<08085> (8799)

unto Ephron
<06085>_;

and Abraham
<085>

weighed
<08254> (8799)

to Ephron
<06085>

the silver
<03701>_,

which he had named
<01696> (8765)

in the audience
<0241>

of the sons
<01121>

of Heth
<02845>_,

four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>

shekels
<08255>

of silver
<03701>_,

current
<05674> (8802)

[money] with the merchant
<05503> (8802)_.

23:17

And the field
<07704>

of Ephron
<06085>_,

which [was] in Machpelah
<04375>_,

which [was] before
<06440>

Mamre
<04471>_,

the field
<07704>_,

and the cave
<04631>

which [was] therein, and all the trees
<06086>

that [were] in the field
<07704>_,

that [were] in all the borders
<01366>

round about
<05439>_,

were made sure
<06965> (8799)

23:18

Unto Abraham
<085>

for a possession
<04736>

in the presence
<05869>

of the children
<01121>

of Heth
<02845>_,

before all that went in
<0935> (8802)

at the gate
<08179>

of his city
<05892>_.

23:19

And after
<0310>

this
<03651>_,

Abraham
<085>

buried
<06912> (8804)

Sarah
<08283>

his wife
<0802>

in the cave
<04631>

of the field
<07704>

of Machpelah
<04375>

before
<06440>

Mamre
<04471>_:

the same [is] Hebron
<02275>

in the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_.

23:20

And the field
<07704>_,

and the cave
<04631>

that [is] therein, were made sure
<06965> (8799)

unto Abraham
<085>

for a possession
<0272>

of a buryingplace
<06913>

by the sons
<01121>

of Heth
<02845>_.

24:1

And Abraham
<085>

was old
<02204> (8804)_,

[and] well stricken
<0935> (8804)

in age
<03117>_:

and the LORD
<03068>

had blessed
<01288> (8765)

Abraham
<085>

in all things. {well...: Heb. gone into days}

24:2

And Abraham
<085>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his eldest
<02205>

servant
<05650>

of his house
<01004>_,

that ruled over
<04910> (8802)

all that he had, Put
<07760> (8798)_,

I pray thee, thy hand
<03027>

under my thigh
<03409>_:

24:3

And I will make thee swear
<07650> (8686)

by the LORD
<03068>_,

the God
<0430>

of heaven
<08064>_,

and the God
<0430>

of the earth
<0776>_,

that thou shalt not take
<03947> (8799)

a wife
<0802>

unto my son
<01121>

of the daughters
<01323>

of the Canaanites
<03669>_,

among
<07130>

whom I dwell
<03427> (8802)_:

24:4

But thou shalt go
<03212> (8799)

unto my country
<0776>_,

and to my kindred
<04138>_,

and take
<03947> (8804)

a wife
<0802>

unto my son
<01121>

Isaac
<03327>_.

24:5

And the servant
<05650>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Peradventure the woman
<0802>

will not be willing
<014> (8799)

to follow
<03212> (8800)

me
<0310>

unto this land
<0776>_:

must I needs bring
<07725> (8687)

thy son
<01121>

again
<07725> (8686)

unto the land
<0776>

from whence thou camest
<03318> (8804)_?

24:6

And Abraham
<085>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Beware
<08104> (8734)

thou that thou bring
<07725> (0)

not
<06435>

my son
<01121>

thither again
<07725> (8686)_.

24:7

The LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of heaven
<08064>_,

which took me
<03947> (8804)

from my father's
<01>

house
<01004>_,

and from the land
<0776>

of my kindred
<04138>_,

and which spake
<01696> (8765)

unto me, and that sware
<07650> (8738)

unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Unto thy seed
<02233>

will I give
<05414> (8799)

this land
<0776>_;

he shall send
<07971> (8799)

his angel
<04397>

before thee
<06440>_,

and thou shalt take
<03947> (8804)

a wife
<0802>

unto my son
<01121>

from thence.

24:8

And if the woman
<0802>

will not be willing
<014> (8799)

to follow
<03212> (8800)

thee
<0310>_,

then thou shalt be clear
<05352> (8738)

from this my oath
<07621>_:

only bring
<07725> (0)

not my son
<01121>

thither again
<07725> (8686)_.

24:9

And the servant
<05650>

put
<07760> (8799)

his hand
<03027>

under the thigh
<03409>

of Abraham
<085>

his master
<0113>_,

and sware
<07650> (8735)

to him concerning
<05921>

that
<02088>

matter
<01697>_.

24:10

And the servant
<05650>

took
<03947> (8799)

ten
<06235>

camels
<01581>

of the camels
<01581>

of his master
<0113>_,

and departed
<03212> (8799)_;

for all the goods
<02898>

of his master
<0113>

[were] in his hand
<03027>_:

and he arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

to Mesopotamia
<0763>_,

unto the city
<05892>

of Nahor
<05152>_.

{for: or, and}

24:11

And he made
<01288> (0)

his camels
<01581>

to kneel down
<01288> (8686)

without
<02351>

the city
<05892>

by
<0413>

a well
<0875>

of water
<04325>

at the time
<06256>

of the evening
<06153>_,

[even] the time
<06256>

that women go out
<03318> (8800)

to draw
<07579> (8802)

[water]. {that...: Heb. that women who draw water go forth}

24:12

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

O LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of my master
<0113>

Abraham
<085>_,

I pray thee, send me
<06440>

good speed
<07136> (8685)

this day
<03117>_,

and shew
<06213> (8798)

kindness
<02617>

unto
<05973>

my master
<0113>

Abraham
<085>_.

24:13

Behold, I stand
<05324> (8737)

[here] by the well
<05869>

of water
<04325>_;

and the daughters
<01323>

of the men
<0582>

of the city
<05892>

come out
<03318> (8802)

to draw
<07579> (8800)

water
<04325>_:

24:14

And let it come to pass, that the damsel
<05291>

to whom I shall say
<0559> (8799)_,

Let down
<05186> (8685)

thy pitcher
<03537>_,

I pray thee, that I may drink
<08354> (8799)_;

and she shall say
<0559> (8804)_,

Drink
<08354> (8798)_,

and I will give
<08248> (0)

thy camels
<01581>

drink
<08248> (8686)

also: [let the same be] she [that] thou hast appointed
<03198> (8689)

for thy servant
<05650>

Isaac
<03327>_;

and thereby shall I know
<03045> (8799)

that thou hast shewed
<06213> (8804)

kindness
<02617>

unto my master
<0113>_.

24:15

And it came to pass, before he had done
<03615> (8765)

speaking
<01696> (8763)_,

that, behold, Rebekah
<07259>

came out
<03318> (8802)_,

who
<0834>

was born
<03205> (8795)

to Bethuel
<01328>_,

son
<01121>

of Milcah
<04435>_,

the wife
<0802>

of Nahor
<05152>_,

Abraham's
<085>

brother
<0251>_,

with her pitcher
<03537>

upon her shoulder
<07926>_.

24:16

And the damsel
<05291>

[was] very
<03966>

fair
<02896>

to look upon
<04758>_,

a virgin
<01330>_,

neither had any man
<0376>

known
<03045> (8804)

her: and she went down
<03381> (8799)

to the well
<05869>_,

and filled
<04390> (8762)

her pitcher
<03537>_,

and came up
<05927> (8799)_.

{very...: Heb. good of countenance}

24:17

And the servant
<05650>

ran
<07323> (8799)

to meet her
<07125> (8800)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let me, I pray thee, drink
<01572> (8685)

a little
<04592>

water
<04325>

of thy pitcher
<03537>_.

24:18

And she said
<0559> (8799)_,

Drink
<08354> (8798)_,

my lord
<0113>_:

and she hasted
<04116> (8762)_,

and let down
<03381> (8686)

her pitcher
<03537>

upon her hand
<03027>_,

and gave him drink
<08248> (8686)_.

24:19

And when she had done
<03615> (8762)

giving him drink
<08248> (8687)_,

she said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will draw
<07579> (8799)

[water] for thy camels
<01581>

also, until they have done
<03615> (8765)

drinking
<08354> (8800)_.

24:20

And she hasted
<04116> (8762)_,

and emptied
<06168> (8762)

her pitcher
<03537>

into the trough
<08268>_,

and ran
<07323> (8799)

again unto the well
<0875>

to draw
<07579> (8800)

[water], and drew
<07579> (8799)

for all his camels
<01581>_.

24:21

And the man
<0376>

wondering
<07583> (8693)

at her held his peace
<02790> (8688)_,

to wit
<03045> (8800)

whether the LORD
<03068>

had made
<06743> (0)

his journey
<01870>

prosperous
<06743> (8689)

or
<0518>

not.

24:22

And it came to pass, as the camels
<01581>

had done
<03615> (8765)

drinking
<08354> (8800)_,

that the man
<0376>

took
<03947> (8799)

a golden
<02091>

earring
<05141>

of half a shekel
<01235>

weight
<04948>_,

and two
<08147>

bracelets
<06781>

for her hands
<03027>

of ten
<06235>

[shekels] weight
<04948>

of gold
<02091>_;

{earring: or, jewel for the forehead}

24:23

And said
<0559> (8799)_,

Whose
<04310>

daughter
<01323>

[art] thou
<0859>_?

tell
<05046> (8685)

me, I pray thee: is there
<03426>

room
<04725>

[in] thy father's
<01>

house
<01004>

for us to lodge in
<03885> (8800)_?

24:24

And she said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, I [am] the daughter
<01323>

of Bethuel
<01328>

the son
<01121>

of Milcah
<04435>_,

which she bare
<03205> (8804)

unto Nahor
<05152>_.

24:25

She said
<0559> (8799)

moreover unto him, We have both
<01571>

straw
<08401>

and provender
<04554>

enough
<07227>_,

and
<01571>

room
<04725>

to lodge in
<03885> (8800)_.

24:26

And the man
<0376>

bowed down his head
<06915> (8799)_,

and worshipped
<07812> (8691)

the LORD
<03068>_.

24:27

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be] the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of my master
<0113>

Abraham
<085>_,

who hath not left destitute
<05800> (8804) <05973>

my master
<0113>

of his mercy
<02617>

and his truth
<0571>_:

I [being] in the way
<01870>_,

the LORD
<03068>

led me
<05148> (8804)

to the house
<01004>

of my master's
<0113>

brethren
<0251>_.

24:28

And the damsel
<05291>

ran
<07323> (8799)_,

and told
<05046> (8686)

[them of] her mother's
<0517>

house
<01004>

these things
<01697>_.

24:29

And Rebekah
<07259>

had a brother
<0251>_,

and his name
<08034>

[was] Laban
<03837>_:

and Laban
<03837>

ran
<07323> (8799)

out
<02351>

unto the man
<0376>_,

unto the well
<05869>_.

24:30

And it came to pass, when he saw
<07200> (8800)

the earring
<05141>

and bracelets
<06781>

upon his sister's
<0269>

hands
<03027>_,

and when he heard
<08085> (8800)

the words
<01697>

of Rebekah
<07259>

his sister
<0269>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thus
<03541>

spake
<01696> (8765)

the man
<0376>

unto me; that he came
<0935> (8799)

unto the man
<0376>_;

and, behold, he stood
<05975> (8802)

by
<05921>

the camels
<01581>

at the well
<05869>_.

24:31

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Come in
<0935> (8798)_,

thou blessed
<01288> (8803)

of the LORD
<03068>_;

wherefore standest
<05975> (8799)

thou without
<02351>_?

for I have prepared
<06437> (8765)

the house
<01004>_,

and room
<04725>

for the camels
<01581>_.

24:32

And the man
<0376>

came
<0935> (8799)

into the house
<01004>_:

and he ungirded
<06605> (8762)

his camels
<01581>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

straw
<08401>

and provender
<04554>

for the camels
<01581>_,

and water
<04325>

to wash
<07364> (8800)

his feet
<07272>_,

and the men's
<0582>

feet
<07272>

that [were] with him.

24:33

And there was set
<07760> (8714) (8675) <03455> (8799)

[meat] before him
<06440>

to eat
<0398> (8800)_:

but he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will not eat
<0398> (8799)_,

until I have told
<01696> (8765)

mine errand
<01697>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Speak on
<01696> (8761)_.

24:34

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I [am] Abraham's
<085>

servant
<05650>_.

24:35

And the LORD
<03068>

hath blessed
<01288> (8765)

my master
<0113>

greatly
<03966>_;

and he is become great
<01431> (8799)_:

and he hath given
<05414> (8799)

him flocks
<06629>_,

and herds
<01241>_,

and silver
<03701>_,

and gold
<02091>_,

and menservants
<05650>_,

and maidservants
<08198>_,

and camels
<01581>_,

and asses
<02543>_.

24:36

And Sarah
<08283>

my master's
<0113>

wife
<0802>

bare
<03205> (8799)

a son
<01121>

to my master
<0113>

when
<0310>

she was old
<02209>_:

and unto him hath he given
<05414> (8799)

all that he hath.

24:37

And my master
<0113>

made me swear
<07650> (8686)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thou shalt not take
<03947> (8799)

a wife
<0802>

to my son
<01121>

of the daughters
<01323>

of the Canaanites
<03669>_,

in whose land
<0776>

I dwell
<03427> (8802)_:

24:38

But
<0518>

thou shalt go
<03212> (8799)

unto my father's
<01>

house
<01004>_,

and to my kindred
<04940>_,

and take
<03947> (8804)

a wife
<0802>

unto my son
<01121>_.

24:39

And I said
<0559> (8799)

unto my master
<0113>_,

Peradventure the woman
<0802>

will not follow
<03212> (8799) <0310>

me.

24:40

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, The LORD
<03068>_,

before
<06440>

whom I walk
<01980> (8694)_,

will send
<07971> (8799)

his angel
<04397>

with thee, and prosper
<06743> (8689)

thy way
<01870>_;

and thou shalt take
<03947> (8804)

a wife
<0802>

for my son
<01121>

of my kindred
<04940>_,

and of my father's
<01>

house
<01004>_:

24:41

Then shalt thou be clear
<05352> (8735)

from [this] my oath
<0423>_,

when thou comest
<0935> (8799)

to my kindred
<04940>_;

and if they give
<05414> (8799)

not thee [one], thou shalt be clear
<05355>

from my oath
<0423>_.

24:42

And I came
<0935> (8799)

this day
<03117>

unto the well
<05869>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

O LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of my master
<0113>

Abraham
<085>_,

if now thou do
<03426>

prosper
<06743> (8688)

my way
<01870>

which I go
<01980> (8802)_:

24:43

Behold, I stand
<05324> (8737)

by the well
<05869>

of water
<04325>_;

and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin
<05959>

cometh forth
<03318> (8802)

to draw
<07579> (8800)

[water], and I say
<0559> (8804)

to her, Give me
<08248> (0)_,

I pray thee, a little
<04592>

water
<04325>

of thy pitcher
<03537>

to drink
<08248> (8685)_;

24:44

And she say
<0559> (8804)

to me, Both drink
<08354> (8798)

thou, and I will also draw
<07579> (8799)

for thy camels
<01581>_:

[let] the same [be] the woman
<0802>

whom the LORD
<03068>

hath appointed out
<03198> (8689)

for my master's
<0113>

son
<01121>_.

24:45

And before I had done
<03615> (8762)

speaking
<01696> (8763)

in mine heart
<03820>_,

behold, Rebekah
<07259>

came forth
<03318> (8802)

with her pitcher
<03537>

on her shoulder
<07926>_;

and she went down
<03381> (8799)

unto the well
<05869>_,

and drew
<07579> (8799)

[water]: and I said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Let me drink
<08248> (8685)_,

I pray thee.

24:46

And she made haste
<04116> (8762)_,

and let down
<03381> (8686)

her pitcher
<03537>

from her [shoulder], and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Drink
<08354> (8798)_,

and I will give
<08248> (0)

thy camels
<01581>

drink
<08248> (8686)

also: so I drank
<08354> (8799)_,

and she made
<08248> (0)

the camels
<01581>

drink
<08248> (8689)

also.

24:47

And I asked
<07592> (8799)

her, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Whose daughter
<01323>

[art] thou? And she said
<0559> (8799)_,

The daughter
<01323>

of Bethuel
<01328>_,

Nahor's
<05152>

son
<01121>_,

whom Milcah
<04435>

bare
<03205> (8804)

unto him: and I put
<07760> (8799)

the earring
<05141>

upon her face
<0639>_,

and the bracelets
<06781>

upon her hands
<03027>_.

24:48

And I bowed down my head
<06915> (8799)_,

and worshipped
<07812> (8691)

the LORD
<03068>_,

and blessed
<01288> (8762)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of my master
<0113>

Abraham
<085>_,

which had led me
<05148> (8689)

in the right
<0571>

way
<01870>

to take
<03947> (8800)

my master's
<0113>

brother's
<0251>

daughter
<01323>

unto his son
<01121>_.

24:49

And now if ye will
<03426>

deal
<06213> (8802)

kindly
<02617>

and truly
<0571>

with my master
<0113>_,

tell
<05046> (8685)

me: and if not, tell
<05046> (8685)

me; that I may turn
<06437> (8799)

to the right hand
<03225>_,

or
<0176>

to the left
<08040>_.

24:50

Then Laban
<03837>

and Bethuel
<01328>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

The thing
<01697>

proceedeth
<03318> (8804)

from the LORD
<03068>_:

we cannot
<03201> (8799)

speak
<01696> (8763)

unto thee bad
<07451>

or
<0176>

good
<02896>_.

24:51

Behold, Rebekah
<07259>

[is] before thee
<06440>_,

take
<03947> (8798)

[her], and go
<03212> (8798)_,

and let her be thy master's
<0113>

son's
<01121>

wife
<0802>_,

as the LORD
<03068>

hath spoken
<01696> (8765)_.

24:52

And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's
<085>

servant
<05650>

heard
<08085> (8804)

their words
<01697>_,

he worshipped
<07812> (8691)

the LORD
<03068>_,

[bowing himself] to the earth
<0776>_.

24:53

And the servant
<05650>

brought forth
<03318> (8686)

jewels
<03627>

of silver
<03701>_,

and jewels
<03627>

of gold
<02091>_,

and raiment
<0899>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

[them] to Rebekah
<07259>_:

he gave
<05414> (8804)

also to her brother
<0251>

and to her mother
<0517>

precious things
<04030>_.

{jewels: Heb. vessels}

24:54

And they did eat
<0398> (8799)

and drink
<08354> (8799)_,

he and the men
<0582>

that [were] with him, and tarried all night
<03885> (8799)_;

and they rose up
<06965> (8799)

in the morning
<01242>_,

and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Send me away
<07971> (8761)

unto my master
<0113>_.

24:55

And her brother
<0251>

and her mother
<0517>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let the damsel
<05291>

abide
<03427> (8799)

with us [a few] days
<03117>_,

at the least
<0176>

ten
<06218>_;

after
<0310>

that she shall go
<03212> (8799)_.

{a few...: or, a full year, or ten months}

24:56

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Hinder me
<0309> (8762)

not, seeing the LORD
<03068>

hath prospered
<06743> (8689)

my way
<01870>_;

send me away
<07971> (8761)

that I may go
<03212> (8799)

to my master
<0113>_.

24:57

And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

We will call
<07121> (8799)

the damsel
<05291>_,

and enquire
<07592> (8799)

at her mouth
<06310>_.

24:58

And they called
<07121> (8799)

Rebekah
<07259>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Wilt thou go
<03212> (8799)

with this man
<0376>_?

And she said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will go
<03212> (8799)_.

24:59

And they sent away
<07971> (8762)

Rebekah
<07259>

their sister
<0269>_,

and her nurse
<03243> (8688)_,

and Abraham's
<085>

servant
<05650>_,

and his men
<0582>_.

24:60

And they blessed
<01288> (8762)

Rebekah
<07259>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Thou
<0859>

[art] our sister
<0269>_,

be thou
<01961> (8798)

[the mother] of thousands
<0505>

of millions
<07233>_,

and let thy seed
<02233>

possess
<03423> (8799)

the gate
<08179>

of those which hate
<08130> (8802)

them.

24:61

And Rebekah
<07259>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and her damsels
<05291>_,

and they rode
<07392> (8799)

upon the camels
<01581>_,

and followed
<03212> (8799) <0310>

the man
<0376>_:

and the servant
<05650>

took
<03947> (8799)

Rebekah
<07259>_,

and went his way
<03212> (8799)_.

24:62

And Isaac
<03327>

came
<0935> (8804)

from the way
<0935> (8800)

of the well Lahairoi
<0883>_;

for he dwelt
<03427> (8802)

in the south
<05045>

country
<0776>_.

24:63

And Isaac
<03327>

went out
<03318> (8799)

to meditate
<07742> (8800)

in the field
<07704>

at
<06437> (8800)

the eventide
<06153>_:

and he lifted up
<05375> (8799)

his eyes
<05869>_,

and saw
<07200> (8799)_,

and, behold, the camels
<01581>

[were] coming
<0935> (8802)_.

{to meditate: or, to pray}

24:64

And Rebekah
<07259>

lifted up
<05375> (8799)

her eyes
<05869>_,

and when she saw
<07200> (8799)

Isaac
<03327>_,

she lighted
<05307> (8799)

off
<05921>

the camel
<01581>_.

24:65

For she [had] said
<0559> (8799)

unto the servant
<05650>_,

What
<04310>

man
<0376>

[is] this
<01976>

that walketh
<01980> (8802)

in the field
<07704>

to meet us
<07125> (8800)_?

And the servant
<05650>

[had] said
<0559> (8799)_,

It [is] my master
<0113>_:

therefore she took
<03947> (8799)

a vail
<06809>_,

and covered herself
<03680> (8691)_.

24:66

And the servant
<05650>

told
<05608> (8762)

Isaac
<03327>

all things
<01697>

that he had done
<06213> (8804)_.

24:67

And Isaac
<03327>

brought her
<0935> (8686)

into his mother
<0517>

Sarah's
<08283>

tent
<0168>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

Rebekah
<07259>_,

and she became his wife
<0802>_;

and he loved
<0157> (8799)

her: and Isaac
<03327>

was comforted
<05162> (8735)

after
<0310>

his mother's
<0517>

[death].

25:1

Then again
<03254> (8686)

Abraham
<085>

took
<03947> (8799)

a wife
<0802>_,

and her name
<08034>

[was] Keturah
<06989>_.

25:2

And she bare
<03205> (8799)

him Zimran
<02175>_,

and Jokshan
<03370>_,

and Medan
<04091>_,

and Midian
<04080>_,

and Ishbak
<03435>_,

and Shuah
<07744>_.

25:3

And Jokshan
<03370>

begat
<03205> (8804)

Sheba
<07614>_,

and Dedan
<01719>_.

And the sons
<01121>

of Dedan
<01719>

were Asshurim
<0805>_,

and Letushim
<03912>_,

and Leummim
<03817>_.

25:4

And the sons
<01121>

of Midian
<04080>_;

Ephah
<05891>_,

and Epher
<06081>_,

and Hanoch
<02585>_,

and Abida
<028>_,

and Eldaah
<0420>_.

All these [were] the children
<01121>

of Keturah
<06989>_.

25:5

And Abraham
<085>

gave
<05414> (8799)

all that he had unto Isaac
<03327>_.

25:6

But unto the sons
<01121>

of the concubines
<06370>_,

which Abraham
<085>

had, Abraham
<085>

gave
<05414> (8804)

gifts
<04979>_,

and sent them away
<07971> (8762)

from Isaac
<03327>

his son
<01121>_,

while he yet lived
<02416>_,

eastward
<06924>_,

unto the east
<06924>

country
<0776>_.

25:7

And these [are] the days
<03117>

of the years
<08141>

of Abraham's
<085>

life
<02416>

which he lived
<02425> (8804)_,

an hundred
<03967> <08141>

threescore and fifteen
<07657> <08141> <02568>

years
<08141>_.

25:8

Then Abraham
<085>

gave up the ghost
<01478> (8799)_,

and died
<04191> (8799)

in a good
<02896>

old age
<07872>_,

an old man
<02205>_,

and full
<07649>

[of years]; and was gathered
<0622> (8735)

to his people
<05971>_.

25:9

And his sons
<01121>

Isaac
<03327>

and Ishmael
<03458>

buried
<06912> (8799)

him in the cave
<04631>

of Machpelah
<04375>_,

in the field
<07704>

of Ephron
<06085>

the son
<01121>

of Zohar
<06714>

the Hittite
<02850>_,

which [is] before
<06440>

Mamre
<04471>_;

25:10

The field
<07704>

which Abraham
<085>

purchased
<07069> (8804)

of the sons
<01121>

of Heth
<02845>_:

there was Abraham
<085>

buried
<06912> (8795)_,

and Sarah
<08283>

his wife
<0802>_.

25:11

And it came to pass after
<0310>

the death
<04194>

of Abraham
<085>_,

that God
<0430>

blessed
<01288> (8762)

his son
<01121>

Isaac
<03327>_;

and Isaac
<03327>

dwelt
<03427> (8799)

by
<05973>

the well Lahairoi
<0883>_.

25:12

Now these [are] the generations
<08435>

of Ishmael
<03458>_,

Abraham's
<085>

son
<01121>_,

whom Hagar
<01904>

the Egyptian
<04713>_,

Sarah's
<08283>

handmaid
<08198>_,

bare
<03205> (8804)

unto Abraham
<085>_:

25:13

And these [are] the names
<08034>

of the sons
<01121>

of Ishmael
<03458>_,

by their names
<08034>_,

according to their generations
<08435>_:

<08485>_,

Jetur
<03195>_,

Naphish
<05305>_,

and Kedemah
<06929>_:

{Hadar: or, Hadad}

25:16

These [are] the sons
<01121>

of Ishmael
<03458>_,

and these [are] their names
<08034>_,

by their towns
<02691>_,

and by their castles
<02918>_;

twelve
<08147> <06240>

princes
<05387>

according to their nations
<0523>_.

25:17

And these [are] the years
<08141>

of the life
<02416>

of Ishmael
<03458>_,

an hundred
<03967> <08141>

and thirty
<07970> <08141>

and seven
<07651>

years
<08141>_:

and he gave up the ghost
<01478> (8799)

and died
<04191> (8799)_;

and was gathered
<0622> (8735)

unto his people
<05971>_.

25:18

And they dwelt
<07931> (8799)

from Havilah
<02341>

unto Shur
<07793>_,

that [is] before
<06440>

Egypt
<04714>_,

as thou goest
<0935> (8800)

toward Assyria
<0804>_:

[and] he died
<05307> (8804)

in the presence
<06440>

of all his brethren
<0251>_.

{died: Heb. fell}

25:19

And these [are] the generations
<08435>

of Isaac
<03327>_,

Abraham's
<085>

son
<01121>_:

Abraham
<085>

begat
<03205> (8689)

Isaac
<03327>_:

25:20

And Isaac
<03327>

was forty
<0705>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

when he took
<03947> (8800)

Rebekah
<07259>

to wife
<0802>_,

the daughter
<01323>

of Bethuel
<01328>

the Syrian
<0761>

of Padanaram
<06307>_,

the sister
<0269>

to Laban
<03837>

the Syrian
<0761>_.

25:21

And Isaac
<03327>

intreated
<06279> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>

for
<05227>

his wife
<0802>_,

because she [was] barren
<06135>_:

and the LORD
<03068>

was intreated
<06279> (8735)

of him, and Rebekah
<07259>

his wife
<0802>

conceived
<02029> (8799)_.

25:22

And the children
<01121>

struggled together
<07533> (8704)

within her
<07130>_;

and she said
<0559> (8799)_,

If [it be] so, why [am] I thus
<02088>_?

And she went
<03212> (8799)

to enquire
<01875> (8800)

of the LORD
<03068>_.

25:23

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Two
<08147>

nations
<01471>

[are] in thy womb
<0990>_,

and two manner
<08147>

of people
<03816>

shall be separated
<06504> (8735)

from thy bowels
<04578>_;

and [the one] people
<03816>

shall be stronger
<0553> (8799)

than [the other] people
<03816>_;

and the elder
<07227>

shall serve
<05647> (8799)

the younger
<06810>_.

25:24

And when her days
<03117>

to be delivered
<03205> (8800)

were fulfilled
<04390> (8799)_,

behold, [there were] twins
<08380>

in her womb
<0990>_.

25:25

And the first
<07223>

came out
<03318> (8799)

red
<0132>_,

all over like an hairy
<08181>

garment
<0155>_;

and they called
<07121> (8799)

his name
<08034>

Esau
<06215>_.

25:26

And after
<0310>

that came
<03318> (0)

his brother
<0251>

out
<03318> (8804)_,

and his hand
<03027>

took hold
<0270> (8802)

on Esau's
<06215>

heel
<06119>_;

and his name
<08034>

was called
<07121> (8799)

Jacob
<03290>_:

and Isaac
<03327>

[was] threescore
<08346>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

when she bare
<03205> (8800)

them.

25:27

And the boys
<05288>

grew
<01431> (8799)_:

and Esau
<06215>

was a cunning
<03045> (8802)

hunter
<06718>_,

a man
<0376>

of the field
<07704>_;

and Jacob
<03290>

[was] a plain
<08535>

man
<0376>_,

dwelling
<03427> (8802)

in tents
<0168>_.

25:28

And Isaac
<03327>

loved
<0157> (8799)

Esau
<06215>_,

because he did eat
<06310>

of [his] venison
<06718>_:

but Rebekah
<07259>

loved
<0157> (8802)

Jacob
<03290>_.

{he...: Heb. venison was in his mouth}

25:29

And Jacob
<03290>

sod
<02102> (8686)

pottage
<05138>_:

and Esau
<06215>

came
<0935> (8799)

from the field
<07704>_,

and he [was] faint
<05889>_:

25:30

And Esau
<06215>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Jacob
<03290>_,

Feed
<03938> (8685)

me, I pray thee, with
<04480>

that same
<0122>

red
<0122>

[pottage]; for I [am] faint
<05889>_:

therefore was his name
<08034>

called
<07121> (8804)

Edom
<0123>_.

{with...: Heb. with that red, with that red pottage} {Edom: that is Red}

25:31

And Jacob
<03290>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Sell
<04376> (8798)

me this day
<03117>

thy birthright
<01062>_.

25:32

And Esau
<06215>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, I [am] at the point
<01980> (8802)

to die
<04191> (8800)_:

and what profit shall this birthright
<01062>

do to me? {at...: Heb. going to die}

25:33

And Jacob
<03290>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Swear
<07650> (8734)

to me this day
<03117>_;

and he sware
<07650> (8735)

unto him: and he sold
<04376> (8799)

his birthright
<01062>

unto Jacob
<03290>_.

25:34

Then Jacob
<03290>

gave
<05414> (8804)

Esau
<06215>

bread
<03899>

and pottage
<05138>

of lentiles
<05742>_;

and he did eat
<0398> (8799)

and drink
<08354> (8799)_,

and rose up
<06965> (8799)_,

and went his way
<03212> (8799)_:

thus Esau
<06215>

despised
<0959> (8799)

[his] birthright
<01062>_.

26:1

And there was a famine
<07458>

in the land
<0776>_,

beside
<0905>

the first
<07223>

famine
<07458>

that was in the days
<03117>

of Abraham
<085>_.

And Isaac
<03327>

went
<03212> (8799)

unto Abimelech
<040>

king
<04428>

of the Philistines
<06430>

unto Gerar
<01642>_.

26:2

And the LORD
<03068>

appeared
<07200> (8735)

unto him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Go not down
<03381> (8799)

into Egypt
<04714>_;

dwell
<07931> (8798)

in the land
<0776>

which I shall tell
<0559> (8799)

thee of:

26:3

Sojourn
<01481> (8798)

in this land
<0776>_,

and I will be with thee, and will bless
<01288> (8762)

thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed
<02233>_,

I will give
<05414> (8799)

all these
<0411>

countries
<0776>_,

and I will perform
<06965> (8689)

the oath
<07621>

which I sware
<07650> (8738)

unto Abraham
<085>

thy father
<01>_;

26:4

And I will make
<07235> (0)

thy seed
<02233>

to multiply
<07235> (8689)

as the stars
<03556>

of heaven
<08064>_,

and will give
<05414> (8804)

unto thy seed
<02233>

all these
<0411>

countries
<0776>_;

and in thy seed
<02233>

shall all the nations
<01471>

of the earth
<0776>

be blessed
<01288> (8694)_;

26:5

Because
<06118>

that Abraham
<085>

obeyed
<08085> (8804)

my voice
<06963>_,

and kept
<08104> (8799)

my charge
<04931>_,

my commandments
<04687>_,

my statutes
<02708>_,

and my laws
<08451>_.

26:6

And Isaac
<03327>

dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in Gerar
<01642>_:

26:7

And the men
<0582>

of the place
<04725>

asked
<07592> (8799)

[him] of his wife
<0802>_;

and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

She [is] my sister
<0269>_:

for he feared
<03372> (8804)

to say
<0559> (8800)_,

[She is] my wife
<0802>_;

lest, [said he], the men
<0582>

of the place
<04725>

should kill
<02026> (8799)

me for Rebekah
<07259>_;

because she [was] fair
<02896>

to look upon
<04758>_.

26:8

And it came to pass, when he had been there a long
<0748> (8804)

time
<03117>_,

that Abimelech
<040>

king
<04428>

of the Philistines
<06430>

looked out
<08259> (8686)

at
<01157>

a window
<02474>_,

and saw
<07200> (8799)_,

and, behold, Isaac
<03327>

[was] sporting
<06711> (8764)

with Rebekah
<07259>

his wife
<0802>_.

26:9

And Abimelech
<040>

called
<07121> (8799)

Isaac
<03327>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, of a surety
<0389>

she [is] thy wife
<0802>_:

and how saidst
<0559> (8804)

thou, She [is] my sister
<0269>_?

And Isaac
<03327>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Because I said
<0559> (8804)_,

Lest I die
<04191> (8799)

for her.

26:10

And Abimelech
<040>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

What [is] this thou hast done
<06213> (8804)

unto us? one
<0259>

of the people
<05971>

might lightly
<04592>

have lien
<07901> (8804)

with thy wife
<0802>_,

and thou shouldest have brought
<0935> (8689)

guiltiness
<0817>

upon us.

26:11

And Abimelech
<040>

charged
<06680> (8762)

all [his] people
<05971>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

He that toucheth
<05060> (8802)

this man
<0376>

or his wife
<0802>

shall surely
<04191> (8800)

be put to death
<04191> (8714)_.

26:12

Then Isaac
<03327>

sowed
<02232> (8799)

in that land
<0776>_,

and received
<04672> (8799)

in the same year
<08141>

an hundredfold
<03967> <08180>_:

and the LORD
<03068>

blessed
<01288> (8762)

him. {received: Heb. found}

26:13

And the man
<0376>

waxed great
<01431> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

forward
<01980> (8800)_,

and grew
<01432>

until he became
<01431> (0)

very
<03966>

great
<01431> (8804)_:

{went...: Heb. went going}

26:14

For he had possession
<04735>

of flocks
<06629>_,

and possession
<04735>

of herds
<01241>_,

and great store
<07227>

of servants
<05657>_:

and the Philistines
<06430>

envied
<07065> (8762)

him. {servants: or, husbandry}

26:15

For all the wells
<0875>

which his father's
<01>

servants
<05650>

had digged
<02658> (8804)

in the days
<03117>

of Abraham
<085>

his father
<01>_,

the Philistines
<06430>

had stopped
<05640> (8765)

them, and filled
<04390> (8762)

them with earth
<06083>_.

26:16

And Abimelech
<040>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Isaac
<03327>_,

Go
<03212> (8798)

from us; for thou art much
<03966>

mightier
<06105> (8804)

than we.

26:17

And Isaac
<03327>

departed
<03212> (8799)

thence, and pitched his tent
<02583> (8799)

in the valley
<05158>

of Gerar
<01642>_,

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

there
<08033>_.

26:18

And Isaac
<03327>

digged
<02658> (8799)

again
<07725> (8799)

the wells
<0875>

of water
<04325>_,

which they had digged
<02658> (8804)

in the days
<03117>

of Abraham
<085>

his father
<01>_;

for the Philistines
<06430>

had stopped
<05640> (8762)

them after
<0310>

the death
<04194>

of Abraham
<085>_:

and he called
<07121> (8799)

their names
<08034>

after the names
<08034>

by which
<0834>

his father
<01>

had called
<07121> (8804)

them.

26:19

And Isaac's
<03327>

servants
<05650>

digged
<02658> (8799)

in the valley
<05158>_,

and found
<04672> (8799)

there a well
<0875>

of springing
<02416>

water
<04325>_.

{springing: Heb. living}

26:20

And the herdmen
<07462> (8802)

of Gerar
<01642>

did strive
<07378> (8799)

with Isaac's
<03327>

herdmen
<07462> (8802)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The water
<04325>

[is] ours: and he called
<07121> (8799)

the name
<08034>

of the well
<0875>

Esek
<06230>_;

because they strove
<06229> (8694)

with him. {Esek: that is, Contention}

26:21

And they digged
<02658> (8799)

another
<0312>

well
<0875>_,

and strove
<07378> (8799)

for that also: and he called
<07121> (8799)

the name of it
<08034>

Sitnah
<07856>_.

{Sitnah: that is, Hatred}

26:22

And he removed
<06275> (8686)

from thence, and digged
<02658> (8799)

another
<0312>

well
<0875>_;

and for that they strove
<07378> (8804)

not: and he called
<07121> (8799)

the name of it
<08034>

Rehoboth
<07344>_;

and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

For now
<06258>

the LORD
<03068>

hath made room
<07337> (8689)

for us, and we shall be fruitful
<06509> (8804)

in the land
<0776>_.

{Rehoboth: that is Room}

26:23

And he went up
<05927> (8799)

from thence to Beersheba
<0884>_.

26:24

And the LORD
<03068>

appeared
<07200> (8735)

unto him the same night
<03915>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

I [am] the God
<0430>

of Abraham
<085>

thy father
<01>_:

fear
<03372> (8799)

not, for I [am] with
<0854>

thee, and will bless
<01288> (8765)

thee, and multiply
<07235> (8689)

thy seed
<02233>

for my servant
<05650>

Abraham's
<085>

sake.

26:25

And he builded
<01129> (8799)

an altar
<04196>

there, and called
<07121> (8799)

upon the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and pitched
<05186> (8799)

his tent
<0168>

there: and there Isaac's
<03327>

servants
<05650>

digged
<03738> (8799)

a well
<0875>_.

26:26

Then Abimelech
<040>

went
<01980> (8804)

to him from Gerar
<01642>_,

and Ahuzzath
<0276>

one of his friends
<04828>_,

and Phichol
<06369>

the chief captain
<08269>

of his army
<06635>_.

26:27

And Isaac
<03327>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Wherefore
<04069>

come
<0935> (8804)

ye to me, seeing ye hate
<08130> (8804)

me, and have sent me away
<07971> (8762)

from you?

26:28

And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

We saw
<07200> (8804)

certainly
<07200> (8800)

that the LORD
<03068>

was with thee: and we said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let there be now an oath
<0423>

betwixt
<0996>

us, [even] betwixt
<0996>

us and thee, and let us make
<03772> (8799)

a covenant
<01285>

with thee; {We saw...: Heb. Seeing we saw}

26:29

That thou wilt do
<06213> (8799)

us no hurt
<07451>_,

as we have not touched
<05060> (8804)

thee, and as we have done
<06213> (8804)

unto thee nothing but
<07535>

good
<02896>_,

and have sent thee away
<07971> (8762)

in peace
<07965>_:

thou [art] now
<06258>

the blessed
<01288> (8803)

of the LORD
<03068>_.

{That...: Heb. If thou shalt}

26:30

And he made
<06213> (8799)

them a feast
<04960>_,

and they did eat
<0398> (8799)

and drink
<08354> (8799)_.

26:31

And they rose up betimes
<07925> (8686)

in the morning
<01242>_,

and sware
<07650> (8735)

one
<0376>

to another
<0251>_:

and Isaac
<03327>

sent them away
<07971> (8762)_,

and they departed
<03212> (8799)

from him in peace
<07965>_.

26:32

And it came to pass the same day
<03117>_,

that Isaac's
<03327>

servants
<05650>

came
<0935> (8799)_,

and told
<05046> (8686)

him concerning
<0182>

the well
<0875>

which they had digged
<02658> (8804)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, We have found
<04672> (8804)

water
<04325>_.

26:33

And he called
<07121> (8799)

it Shebah
<07656>_:

therefore the name
<08034>

of the city
<05892>

[is] Beersheba
<0884>

unto this day
<03117>_.

{Shebah: That is, an oath} {Beersheba: that is, the well of the oath}

26:34

And Esau
<06215>

was forty
<0705>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

when he took
<03947> (8799)

to wife
<0802>

Judith
<03067>

the daughter
<01323>

of Beeri
<0882>

the Hittite
<02850>_,

and Bashemath
<01315>

the daughter
<01323>

of Elon
<0356>

the Hittite
<02850>_:

26:35

Which were a grief
<04786>

of mind
<07307>

unto Isaac
<03327>

and to Rebekah
<07259>_.

{a grief...: Heb. bitterness of spirit}

27:1

And it came to pass
<01961> (8799)_,

that when Isaac
<03327>

was old
<02204> (8804)_,

and his eyes
<05869>

were dim
<03543> (8799)_,

so that he could not see
<07200> (8800)_,

he called
<07121> (8799)

Esau
<06215>

his eldest
<01419>

son
<01121>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, My son
<01121>_:

and he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Behold, [here am] I.

27:2

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold now, I am old
<02204> (8804)_,

I know
<03045> (8804)

not the day
<03117>

of my death
<04194>_:

27:3

Now therefore take
<05375> (8798)_,

I pray thee, thy weapons
<03627>_,

thy quiver
<08522>

and thy bow
<07198>_,

and go out
<03318> (8798)

to the field
<07704>_,

and take
<06679> (8798)

me [some] venison
<06718> (8675) <06720>_;

{take: Heb. hunt}

27:4

And make
<06213> (8798)

me savoury meat
<04303>_,

such as
<0834>

I love
<0157> (8804)_,

and bring
<0935> (8685)

[it] to me, that I may eat
<0398> (8799)_;

that my soul
<05315>

may bless
<01288> (8762)

thee before
<02962>

I die
<04191> (8799)_.

27:5

And Rebekah
<07259>

heard
<08085> (8802)

when Isaac
<03327>

spake
<01696> (8763)

to Esau
<06215>

his son
<01121>_.

And Esau
<06215>

went
<03212> (8799)

to the field
<07704>

to hunt
<06679> (8800)

[for] venison
<06718>_,

[and] to bring
<0935> (8687)

[it].

27:6

And Rebekah
<07259>

spake
<0559> (8804)

unto Jacob
<03290>

her son
<01121>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, I heard
<08085> (8804)

thy father
<01>

speak
<01696> (8764)

unto Esau
<06215>

thy brother
<0251>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

27:7

Bring
<0935> (8685)

me venison
<06718>_,

and make
<06213> (8798)

me savoury meat
<04303>_,

that I may eat
<0398> (8799)_,

and bless
<01288> (8762)

thee before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>

before
<06440>

my death
<04194>_.

27:8

Now therefore, my son
<01121>_,

obey
<08085> (8798)

my voice
<06963>

according to that which
<0834>

I command
<06680> (8764)

thee.

27:9

Go
<03212> (8798)

now to the flock
<06629>_,

and fetch
<03947> (8798)

me from thence two
<08147>

good
<02896>

kids
<01423>

of the goats
<05795>_;

and I will make
<06213> (8799)

them savoury meat
<04303>

for thy father
<01>_,

such as he loveth
<0157> (8804)_:

27:10

And thou shalt bring
<0935> (8689)

[it] to thy father
<01>_,

that he may eat
<0398> (8804)_,

and that
<0834>

he may bless
<01288> (8762)

thee before
<06440>

his death
<04194>_.

27:11

And Jacob
<03290>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Rebekah
<07259>

his mother
<0517>_,

Behold, Esau
<06215>

my brother
<0251>

[is] a hairy
<08163>

man
<0376>_,

and I [am] a smooth
<02509>

man
<0376>_:

27:12

My father
<01>

peradventure will feel
<04959> (8799)

me, and I shall seem
<05869>

to him as a deceiver
<08591> (8772)_;

and I shall bring
<0935> (8689)

a curse
<07045>

upon me, and not a blessing
<01293>_.

27:13

And his mother
<0517>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Upon me [be] thy curse
<07045>_,

my son
<01121>_:

only obey
<08085> (8798)

my voice
<06963>_,

and go
<03212> (8798)

fetch
<03947> (8798)

me [them].

27:14

And he went
<03212> (8799)_,

and fetched
<03947> (8799)_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

[them] to his mother
<0517>_:

and his mother
<0517>

made
<06213> (8799)

savoury meat
<04303>_,

such as his father
<01>

loved
<0157> (8804)_.

27:15

And Rebekah
<07259>

took
<03947> (8799)

goodly
<02532>

raiment
<0899>

of her eldest
<01419>

son
<01121>

Esau
<06215>_,

which [were] with her in the house
<01004>_,

and put them upon
<03847> (8686)

Jacob
<03290>

her younger
<06996>

son
<01121>_:

{goodly: Heb. desirable}

27:16

And she put
<03847> (8689)

the skins
<05785>

of the kids
<01423>

of the goats
<05795>

upon his hands
<03027>_,

and upon the smooth
<02513>

of his neck
<06677>_:

27:17

And she gave
<05414> (8799)

the savoury meat
<04303>

and the bread
<03899>_,

which she had prepared
<06213> (8804)_,

into the hand
<03027>

of her son
<01121>

Jacob
<03290>_.

27:18

And he came
<0935> (8799)

unto his father
<01>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

My father
<01>_:

and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Here [am] I; who [art] thou, my son
<01121>_?

27:19

And Jacob
<03290>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his father
<01>_,

I [am] Esau
<06215>

thy firstborn
<01060>_;

I have done
<06213> (8804)

according as thou badest
<01696> (8765)

me: arise
<06965> (8798)_,

I pray thee, sit
<03427> (8798)

and eat
<0398> (8798)

of my venison
<06718>_,

that thy soul
<05315>

may bless
<01288> (8762)

me.

27:20

And Isaac
<03327>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his son
<01121>_,

How [is it] that thou hast found
<04672> (8800)

[it] so quickly
<04116> (8765)_,

my son
<01121>_?

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Because the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

brought
<07136> (8689)

[it] to me
<06440>_.

{to me: Heb. before me}

27:21

And Isaac
<03327>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jacob
<03290>_,

Come near
<05066> (8798)_,

I pray thee, that I may feel
<04184> (8799)

thee, my son
<01121>_,

whether thou [be] my very
<02088>

son
<01121>

Esau
<06215>

or not.

27:22

And Jacob
<03290>

went near
<05066> (8799)

unto Isaac
<03327>

his father
<01>_;

and he felt
<04959> (8799)

him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

The voice
<06963>

[is] Jacob's
<03290>

voice
<06963>_,

but the hands
<03027>

[are] the hands
<03027>

of Esau
<06215>_.

27:23

And he discerned
<05234> (8689)

him not, because his hands
<03027>

were hairy
<08163>_,

as his brother
<0251>

Esau's
<06215>

hands
<03027>_:

so he blessed
<01288> (8762)

him.

27:24

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Art] thou my very son
<01121>

Esau
<06215>_?

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I [am].

27:25

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Bring [it] near
<05066> (8685)

to me, and I will eat
<0398> (8799)

of my son's
<01121>

venison
<06718>_,

that my soul
<05315>

may bless
<01288> (8762)

thee. And he brought [it] near
<05066> (8686)

to him, and he did eat
<0398> (8799)_:

and he brought
<0935> (8686)

him wine
<03196>_,

and he drank
<08354> (8799)_.

27:26

And his father
<01>

Isaac
<03327>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Come near
<05066> (8798)

now, and kiss
<05401> (8798)

me, my son
<01121>_.

27:27

And he came near
<05066> (8799)_,

and kissed
<05401> (8799)

him: and he smelled
<07306> (8686)

the smell
<07381>

of his raiment
<0899>_,

and blessed
<01288> (8762)

him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

See
<07200> (8798)_,

the smell
<07381>

of my son
<01121>

[is] as the smell
<07381>

of a field
<07704>

which the LORD
<03068>

hath blessed
<01288> (8765)_:

27:28

Therefore God
<0430>

give
<05414> (8799)

thee of the dew
<02919>

of heaven
<08064>_,

and the fatness
<04924>

of the earth
<0776>_,

and plenty
<07230>

of corn
<01715>

and wine
<08492>_:

27:29

Let people
<05971>

serve
<05647> (8799)

thee, and nations
<03816>

bow down
<07812> (8691)

to thee: be
<01933> (8798)

lord
<01376>

over thy brethren
<0251>_,

and let thy mother's
<0517>

sons
<01121>

bow down
<07812> (8691)

to thee: cursed
<0779> (8803)

[be] every one that curseth
<0779> (8802)

thee, and blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be] he that blesseth
<01288> (8764)

thee.

27:30

And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac
<03327>

had made an end
<03615> (8765)

of blessing
<01288> (8763)

Jacob
<03290>_,

and Jacob
<03290>

was yet
<0389>

scarce
<03318> (8800)

gone out
<03318> (8804)

from the presence
<06440>

of Isaac
<03327>

his father
<01>_,

that Esau
<06215>

his brother
<0251>

came in
<0935> (8804)

from his hunting
<06718>_.

27:31

And he also had made
<06213> (8799)

savoury meat
<04303>_,

and brought it
<0935> (8686)

unto his father
<01>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto his father
<01>_,

Let my father
<01>

arise
<06965> (8799)_,

and eat
<0398> (8799)

of his son's
<01121>

venison
<06718>_,

that thy soul
<05315>

may bless
<01288> (8762)

me.

27:32

And Isaac
<03327>

his father
<01>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Who [art] thou? And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I [am] thy son
<01121>_,

thy firstborn
<01060>

Esau
<06215>_.

27:33

And Isaac
<03327>

trembled
<02729> (8799)

very
<01419>

exceedingly
<03966> <02731>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Who? where
<0645>

[is] he that hath taken
<06679> (8801)

venison
<06718>_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

[it] me, and I have eaten
<0398> (8799)

of all before thou camest
<0935> (8799)_,

and have blessed
<01288> (8762)

him? yea, [and] he shall be blessed
<01288> (8803)_.

{trembled...: Heb. trembled with a great trembling greatly} {taken: Heb. hunted}

27:34

And when Esau
<06215>

heard
<08085> (8800)

the words
<01697>

of his father
<01>_,

he cried
<06817> (8799)

with a great
<01419>

and exceeding
<03966>

bitter
<04751>

cry
<06818>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto his father
<01>_,

Bless
<01288> (8761)

me, [even] me also, O my father
<01>_.

27:35

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thy brother
<0251>

came
<0935> (8804)

with subtilty
<04820>_,

and hath taken away
<03947> (8799)

thy blessing
<01293>_.

27:36

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Is not he rightly
<03588>

named
<07121> (8804) <08034>

Jacob
<03290>_?

for he hath supplanted me
<06117> (8799)

these
<02088>

two times
<06471>_:

he took away
<03947> (8804)

my birthright
<01062>_;

and, behold, now he hath taken away
<03947> (8804)

my blessing
<01293>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Hast thou not reserved
<0680> (8804)

a blessing
<01293>

for me? {Jacob: that is, A supplanter}

27:37

And Isaac
<03327>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto Esau
<06215>_,

Behold, I have made
<07760> (8804)

him thy lord
<01376>_,

and all his brethren
<0251>

have I given
<05414> (8804)

to him for servants
<05650>_;

and with corn
<01715>

and wine
<08492>

have I sustained
<05564> (8804)

him: and what shall I do
<06213> (8799)

now
<0645>

unto thee, my son
<01121>_?

{sustained: or, supported}

27:38

And Esau
<06215>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his father
<01>_,

Hast thou but one
<0259>

blessing
<01293>_,

my father
<01>_?

bless
<01288> (8761)

me, [even] me also, O my father
<01>_.

And Esau
<06215>

lifted up
<05375> (8799)

his voice
<06963>_,

and wept
<01058> (8799)_.

27:39

And Isaac
<03327>

his father
<01>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Behold, thy dwelling
<04186>

shall be the fatness
<04924>

of the earth
<0776>_,

and of the dew
<02919>

of heaven
<08064>

from above
<05920>_;

{the fatness: or, of the fatness}

27:40

And by thy sword
<02719>

shalt thou live
<02421> (8799)_,

and shalt serve
<05647> (8799)

thy brother
<0251>_;

and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion
<07300> (8686)_,

that thou shalt break
<06561> (8804)

his yoke
<05923>

from off thy neck
<06677>_.

27:41

And Esau
<06215>

hated
<07852> (8799)

Jacob
<03290>

because
<05921>

of the blessing
<01293>

wherewith
<0834>

his father
<01>

blessed him
<01288> (8765)_:

and Esau
<06215>

said
<0559> (8799)

in his heart
<03820>_,

The days
<03117>

of mourning
<060>

for my father
<01>

are at hand
<07126> (8799)_;

then will I slay
<02026> (8799)

my brother
<0251>

Jacob
<03290>_.

27:42

And these words
<01697>

of Esau
<06215>

her elder
<01419>

son
<01121>

were told
<05046> (8714)

to Rebekah
<07259>_:

and she sent
<07971> (8799)

and called
<07121> (8799)

Jacob
<03290>

her younger
<06996>

son
<01121>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Behold, thy brother
<0251>

Esau
<06215>_,

as touching thee, doth comfort
<05162> (8693)

himself, [purposing] to kill
<02026> (8800)

thee.

27:43

Now therefore, my son
<01121>_,

obey
<08085> (8798)

my voice
<06963>_;

and arise
<06965> (8798)_,

flee
<01272> (8798)

thou to Laban
<03837>

my brother
<0251>

to Haran
<02771>_;

27:44

And tarry
<03427> (8804)

with him a few
<0259>

days
<03117>_,

until
<0834>

thy brother's
<0251>

fury
<02534>

turn away
<07725> (8799)_;

27:45

Until thy brother's
<0251>

anger
<0639>

turn away
<07725> (8800)

from thee, and he forget
<07911> (8804)

[that] which thou hast done
<06213> (8804)

to him: then I will send
<07971> (8804)_,

and fetch
<03947> (8804)

thee from thence: why
<04100>

should I be deprived
<07921> (8799)

also of you both
<08147>

in one
<0259>

day
<03117>_?

27:46

And Rebekah
<07259>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Isaac
<03327>_,

I am weary
<06973> (8804)

of my life
<02416>

because
<06440>

of the daughters
<01323>

of Heth
<02845>_:

if Jacob
<03290>

take
<03947> (8802)

a wife
<0802>

of the daughters
<01323>

of Heth
<02845>_,

such as these [which are] of the daughters
<01323>

of the land
<0776>_,

what good
<04100>

shall my life
<02416>

do me?

28:1

And Isaac
<03327>

called
<07121> (8799)

Jacob
<03290>_,

and blessed
<01288> (8762)

him, and charged
<06680> (8762)

him, and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Thou shalt not take
<03947> (8799)

a wife
<0802>

of the daughters
<01323>

of Canaan
<03667>_.

28:2

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

go
<03212> (8798)

to Padanaram
<06307>_,

to the house
<01004>

of Bethuel
<01328>

thy mother's
<0517>

father
<01>_;

and take
<03947> (8798)

thee a wife
<0802>

from thence of the daughters
<01323>

of Laban
<03837>

thy mother's
<0517>

brother
<0251>_.

28:3

And God
<0410>

Almighty
<07706>

bless
<01288> (8762)

thee, and make thee fruitful
<06509> (8686)_,

and multiply
<07235> (8686)

thee, that thou mayest be a multitude
<06951>

of people
<05971>_;

{a multitude...: Heb. an assembly of people}

28:4

And give
<05414> (8799)

thee the blessing
<01293>

of Abraham
<085>_,

to thee, and to thy seed
<02233>

with thee; that thou mayest inherit
<03423> (8800)

the land
<0776>

wherein thou art a stranger
<04033>_,

which God
<0430>

gave
<05414> (8804)

unto Abraham
<085>_.

{wherein...: Heb. of thy sojournings}

28:5

And Isaac
<03327>

sent away
<07971> (8799)

Jacob
<03290>_:

and he went
<03212> (8799)

to Padanaram
<06307>

unto Laban
<03837>_,

son
<01121>

of Bethuel
<01328>

the Syrian
<0761>_,

the brother
<0251>

of Rebekah
<07259>_,

Jacob's
<03290>

and Esau's
<06215>

mother
<0517>_.

28:6

When Esau
<06215>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that Isaac
<03327>

had blessed
<01288> (8765)

Jacob
<03290>_,

and sent him away
<07971> (8765)

to Padanaram
<06307>_,

to take
<03947> (8800)

him a wife
<0802>

from thence; and that as he blessed
<01288> (8763)

him he gave him a charge
<06680> (8762)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thou shalt not take
<03947> (8799)

a wife
<0802>

of the daughters
<01323>

of Canaan
<03667>_;

28:7

And that Jacob
<03290>

obeyed
<08085> (8799)

his father
<01>

and his mother
<0517>_,

and was gone
<03212> (8799)

to Padanaram
<06307>_;

28:8

And Esau
<06215>

seeing
<07200> (8799)

that the daughters
<01323>

of Canaan
<03667>

pleased
<05869>

not
<07451>

Isaac
<03327>

his father
<01>_;

{pleased...: Heb. were evil in the eyes, etc}

28:9

Then went
<03212> (8799)

Esau
<06215>

unto Ishmael
<03458>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

unto the wives
<0802>

which he had Mahalath
<04258>

the daughter
<01323>

of Ishmael
<03458>

Abraham's
<085>

son
<01121>_,

the sister
<0269>

of Nebajoth
<05032>_,

to be his wife
<0802>_.

{Mahalath: or, Bashemath}

28:10

And Jacob
<03290>

went out
<03318> (8799)

from Beersheba
<0884>_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

toward Haran
<02771>_.

{Haran: Gr. Charran}

28:11

And he lighted
<06293> (8799)

upon a certain place
<04725>_,

and tarried there all night
<03885> (8799)_,

because the sun
<08121>

was set
<0935> (8804)_;

and he took
<03947> (8799)

of the stones
<068>

of that place
<04725>_,

and put
<07760> (8799)

[them for] his pillows
<04763>_,

and lay down
<07901> (0)

in that place
<04725>

to sleep
<07901> (8799)_.

28:12

And he dreamed
<02492> (8799)_,

and behold a ladder
<05551>

set up
<05324> (8716)

on the earth
<0776>_,

and the top of it
<07218>

reached
<05060> (8688)

to heaven
<08064>_:

and behold the angels
<04397>

of God
<0430>

ascending
<05927> (8802)

and descending
<03381> (8802)

on it.

28:13

And, behold, the LORD
<03068>

stood
<05324> (8737)

above it, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

I [am] the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Abraham
<085>

thy father
<01>_,

and the God
<0430>

of Isaac
<03327>_:

the land
<0776>

whereon thou liest
<07901> (8802)_,

to thee will I give it
<05414> (8799)_,

and to thy seed
<02233>_;

28:14

And thy seed
<02233>

shall be as the dust
<06083>

of the earth
<0776>_,

and thou shalt spread abroad
<06555> (8804)

to the west
<03220>_,

and to the east
<06924>_,

and to the north
<06828>_,

and to the south
<05045>_:

and in thee and in thy seed
<02233>

shall all the families
<04940>

of the earth
<0127>

be blessed
<01288> (8738)_.

{spread...: Heb. break forth}

28:15

And, behold, I [am] with thee, and will keep
<08104> (8804)

thee in all [places] whither
<0834>

thou goest
<03212> (8799)_,

and will bring thee again
<07725> (8689)

into this land
<0127>_;

for I will not leave
<05800> (8799)

thee, until
<0834>

I have done
<06213> (8804)

[that] which I have spoken
<01696> (8765)

to thee of.

28:16

And Jacob
<03290>

awaked
<03364> (8799)

out of his sleep
<08142>_,

and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Surely
<0403>

the LORD
<03068>

is
<03426>

in this place
<04725>_;

and I knew
<03045> (8804)

[it] not.

28:17

And he was afraid
<03372> (8799)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

How dreadful
<03372> (8737)

[is] this place
<04725>_!

this [is] none other but the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>_,

and this [is] the gate
<08179>

of heaven
<08064>_.

28:18

And Jacob
<03290>

rose up early
<07925> (8686)

in the morning
<01242>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

the stone
<068>

that he had put
<07760> (8804)

[for] his pillows
<04763>_,

and set it up
<07760> (8799)

[for] a pillar
<04676>_,

and poured
<03332> (8799)

oil
<08081>

upon the top of it
<07218>_.

28:19

And he called
<07121> (8799)

the name
<08034>

of that place
<04725>

Bethel
<01008>_:

but
<0199>

the name
<08034>

of that city
<05892>

[was called] Luz
<03870>

at the first
<07223>_.

{Bethel: that is, The house of God}

28:20

And Jacob
<03290>

vowed
<05087> (8799)

a vow
<05088>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

If God
<0430>

will be with me, and will keep me
<08104> (8804)

in this way
<01870>

that I go
<01980> (8802)_,

and will give
<05414> (8804)

me bread
<03899>

to eat
<0398> (8800)_,

and raiment
<0899>

to put on
<03847> (8800)_,

28:21

So that I come again
<07725> (8804)

to my father's
<01>

house
<01004>

in peace
<07965>_;

then shall the LORD
<03068>

be my God
<0430>_:

28:22

And this stone
<068>_,

which I have set
<07760> (8804)

[for] a pillar
<04676>_,

shall be God's
<0430>

house
<01004>_:

and of all that thou shalt give
<05414> (8799)

me I will surely
<06237> (8763)

give the tenth
<06237> (8762)

unto thee.

29:1

Then Jacob
<03290>

went on
<05375> (8799)

his journey
<07272>_,

and came
<03212> (8799)

into the land
<0776>

of the people
<01121>

of the east
<06924>_.

{went...: Heb. lift up his feet} {people: Heb. children}

29:2

And he looked
<07200> (8799)_,

and behold a well
<0875>

in the field
<07704>_,

and, lo, there [were] three
<07969>

flocks
<05739>

of sheep
<06629>

lying
<07257> (8802)

by it; for out of that well
<0875>

they watered
<08248> (8686)

the flocks
<05739>_:

and a great
<01419>

stone
<068>

[was] upon the well's
<0875>

mouth
<06310>_.

29:3

And thither were all the flocks
<05739>

gathered
<0622> (8738)_:

and they rolled
<01556> (8804)

the stone
<068>

from the well's
<0875>

mouth
<06310>_,

and watered
<08248> (8689)

the sheep
<06629>_,

and put
<07725> (0)

the stone
<068>

again
<07725> (8689)

upon the well's
<0875>

mouth
<06310>

in his place
<04725>_.

29:4

And Jacob
<03290>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, My brethren
<0251>_,

whence
<0370>

[be] ye? And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

Of Haran
<02771>

[are] we.

29:5

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Know
<03045> (8804)

ye Laban
<03837>

the son
<01121>

of Nahor
<05152>_?

And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

We know
<03045> (8804)

[him].

29:6

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, [Is] he well
<07965>_?

And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

[He is] well
<07965>_:

and, behold, Rachel
<07354>

his daughter
<01323>

cometh
<0935> (8802)

with the sheep
<06629>_.

{Is he...: Heb. Is there peace to him?}

29:7

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Lo
<02005>_,

[it is] yet high
<01419>

day
<03117>_,

neither [is it] time
<06256>

that the cattle
<04735>

should be gathered together
<0622> (8736)_:

water
<08248> (8685)

ye the sheep
<06629>_,

and go
<03212> (8798)

[and] feed
<07462> (8798)

[them]. {it is...: Heb. yet the day is great}

29:8

And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

We cannot
<03201> (8799)_,

until all the flocks
<05739>

be gathered together
<0622> (8735)_,

and [till] they roll
<01556> (8804)

the stone
<068>

from the well's
<0875>

mouth
<06310>_;

then we water
<08248> (8689)

the sheep
<06629>_.

29:9

And while he yet
<05750>

spake
<01696> (8764)

with them, Rachel
<07354>

came
<0935> (8804)

with her father's
<01>

sheep
<06629>_:

for she kept them
<07462> (8802)_.

29:10

And it came to pass, when Jacob
<03290>

saw
<07200> (8804)

Rachel
<07354>

the daughter
<01323>

of Laban
<03837>

his mother's
<0517>

brother
<0251>_,

and the sheep
<06629>

of Laban
<03837>

his mother's
<0517>

brother
<0251>_,

that Jacob
<03290>

went near
<05066> (8799)_,

and rolled
<01556> (8686)

the stone
<068>

from the well's
<0875>

mouth
<06310>_,

and watered
<08248> (8686)

the flock
<06629>

of Laban
<03837>

his mother's
<0517>

brother
<0251>_.

29:11

And Jacob
<03290>

kissed
<05401> (8799)

Rachel
<07354>_,

and lifted up
<05375> (8799)

his voice
<06963>_,

and wept
<01058> (8799)_.

29:12

And Jacob
<03290>

told
<05046> (8686)

Rachel
<07354>

that he [was] her father's
<01>

brother
<0251>_,

and that he [was] Rebekah's
<07259>

son
<01121>_:

and she ran
<07323> (8799)

and told
<05046> (8686)

her father
<01>_.

29:13

And it came to pass, when Laban
<03837>

heard
<08085> (8800)

the tidings
<08088>

of Jacob
<03290>

his sister's
<0269>

son
<01121>_,

that he ran
<07323> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

him, and embraced
<02263> (8762)

him, and kissed
<05401> (8762)

him, and brought
<0935> (8686)

him to his house
<01004>_.

And he told
<05608> (8762)

Laban
<03837>

all these things
<01697>_.

{tidings: Heb. hearing}

29:14

And Laban
<03837>

said
<0559> (8799)

to him, Surely
<0389>

thou [art] my bone
<06106>

and my flesh
<01320>_.

And he abode
<03427> (8799)

with him the space
<03117>

of a month
<02320>_.

{the space...: Heb. a month of days}

29:15

And Laban
<03837>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jacob
<03290>_,

Because thou [art] my brother
<0251>_,

shouldest thou therefore serve
<05647> (8804)

me for nought
<02600>_?

tell
<05046> (8685)

me, what [shall] thy wages
<04909>

[be]?

29:16

And Laban
<03837>

had two
<08147>

daughters
<01323>_:

the name
<08034>

of the elder
<01419>

[was] Leah
<03812>_,

and the name
<08034>

of the younger
<06996>

[was] Rachel
<07354>_.

29:17

Leah
<03812>

[was] tender
<07390>

eyed
<05869>_;

but Rachel
<07354>

was beautiful
<03303> <08389>

and well
<03303>

favoured
<04758>_.

29:18

And Jacob
<03290>

loved
<0157> (8799)

Rachel
<07354>_;

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will serve
<05647> (8799)

thee seven
<07651>

years
<08141>

for Rachel
<07354>

thy younger
<06996>

daughter
<01323>_.

29:19

And Laban
<03837>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

[It is] better
<02896>

that I give
<05414> (8800)

her to thee, than that I should give
<05414> (8800)

her to another
<0312>

man
<0376>_:

abide
<03427> (8798)

with me.

29:20

And Jacob
<03290>

served
<05647> (8799)

seven
<07651>

years
<08141>

for Rachel
<07354>_;

and they seemed
<05869>

unto him [but] a few
<0259>

days
<03117>_,

for the love he had
<0160>

to her.

29:21

And Jacob
<03290>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Laban
<03837>_,

Give
<03051> (8798)

[me] my wife
<0802>_,

for my days
<03117>

are fulfilled
<04390> (8804)_,

that I may go in
<0935> (8799)

unto her.

29:22

And Laban
<03837>

gathered together
<0622> (8799)

all the men
<0582>

of the place
<04725>_,

and made
<06213> (8799)

a feast
<04960>_.

29:23

And it came to pass in the evening
<06153>_,

that he took
<03947> (8799)

Leah
<03812>

his daughter
<01323>_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

her to him; and he went in
<0935> (8799)

unto her.

29:24

And Laban
<03837>

gave
<05414> (8799)

unto his daughter
<01323>

Leah
<03812>

Zilpah
<02153>

his maid
<08198>

[for] an handmaid
<08198>_.

29:25

And it came to pass, that in the morning
<01242>_,

behold, it [was] Leah
<03812>_:

and he said
<0559> (8799)

to Laban
<03837>_,

What [is] this thou hast done
<06213> (8804)

unto me? did not I serve
<05647> (8804)

with thee for Rachel
<07354>_?

wherefore then hast thou beguiled
<07411> (8765)

me?

29:26

And Laban
<03837>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

It must not be so done
<06213> (8735)

in our country
<04725>_,

to give
<05414> (8800)

the younger
<06810>

before
<06440>

the firstborn
<01067>_.

{country: Heb. place}

29:27

Fulfil
<04390> (8761)

her
<02063>

week
<07620>_,

and we will give
<05414> (8799)

thee this also for the service
<05656>

which thou shalt serve
<05647> (8799)

with me yet seven
<07651>

other
<0312>

years
<08141>_.

29:28

And Jacob
<03290>

did
<06213> (8799)

so, and fulfilled
<04390> (8762)

her week
<07620>_:

and he gave
<05414> (8799)

him Rachel
<07354>

his daughter
<01323>

to wife
<0802>

also.

29:29

And Laban
<03837>

gave
<05414> (8799)

to Rachel
<07354>

his daughter
<01323>

Bilhah
<01090>

his handmaid
<08198>

to be her maid
<08198>_.

29:30

And he went in
<0935> (8799)

also unto Rachel
<07354>_,

and he loved
<0157> (8799)

also Rachel
<07354>

more than Leah
<03812>_,

and served
<05647> (8799)

with him yet seven
<07651>

other
<0312>

years
<08141>_.

29:31

And when the LORD
<03068>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that Leah
<03812>

[was] hated
<08130> (8803)_,

he opened
<06605> (8799)

her womb
<07358>_:

but Rachel
<07354>

[was] barren
<06135>_.

29:32

And Leah
<03812>

conceived
<02029> (8799)_,

and bare
<03205> (8799)

a son
<01121>_,

and she called
<07121> (8799)

his name
<08034>

Reuben
<07205>_:

for
<03588>

she said
<0559> (8804)_,

Surely
<03588>

the LORD
<03068>

hath looked
<07200> (8804)

upon my affliction
<06040>_;

now therefore
<03588>

my husband
<0376>

will love
<0157> (8799)

me. {Reuben: that is, See a son}

29:33

And she conceived
<02029> (8799)

again, and bare
<03205> (8799)

a son
<01121>_;

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Because the LORD
<03068>

hath heard
<08085> (8804)

that I [was] hated
<08130> (8803)_,

he hath therefore given
<05414> (8799)

me this [son] also: and she called
<07121> (8799)

his name
<08034>

Simeon
<08095>_.

{Simeon: that is, Hearing}

29:34

And she conceived again
<02029> (8799)_,

and bare
<03205> (8799)

a son
<01121>_;

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Now this time
<06471>

will my husband
<0376>

be joined
<03867> (8735)

unto me, because I have born
<03205> (8804)

him three
<07969>

sons
<01121>_:

therefore was his name
<08034>

called
<07121> (8804)

Levi
<03878>_.

{Levi: that is, Joined}

29:35

And she conceived
<02029> (8799)

again, and bare
<03205> (8799)

a son
<01121>_:

and she said
<0559> (8799)_,

Now
<06471>

will I praise
<03034> (8686)

the LORD
<03068>_:

therefore she called
<07121> (8804)

his name
<08034>

Judah
<03063>_;

and left
<05975> (8799)

bearing
<03205> (8800)_.

{Judah: that is, Praise} {left...: Heb. stood from bearing}

30:1

And when Rachel
<07354>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that she bare
<03205> (8804)

Jacob
<03290>

no children, Rachel
<07354>

envied
<07065> (8762)

her sister
<0269>_;

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jacob
<03290>_,

Give
<03051> (8798)

me children
<01121>_,

or else
<0369>

I die
<04191> (8801)_.

30:2

And Jacob's
<03290>

anger
<0639>

was kindled
<02734> (8799)

against Rachel
<07354>_:

and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Am] I in God's
<0430>

stead, who hath withheld
<04513> (8804)

from thee the fruit
<06529>

of the womb
<0990>_?

30:3

And she said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold my maid
<0519>

Bilhah
<01090>_,

go in
<0935> (8798)

unto her; and she shall bear
<03205> (8799)

upon my knees
<01290>_,

that I may also have children
<01129> (8735)

by her. {have...: Heb. be built by her}

30:4

And she gave
<05414> (8799)

him Bilhah
<01090>

her handmaid
<08198>

to wife
<0802>_:

and Jacob
<03290>

went in
<0935> (8799)

unto her.

30:5

And Bilhah
<01090>

conceived
<02029> (8799)_,

and bare
<03205> (8799)

Jacob
<03290>

a son
<01121>_.

30:6

And Rachel
<07354>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

God
<0430>

hath judged
<01777> (8804)

me, and hath also heard
<08085> (8804)

my voice
<06963>_,

and hath given
<05414> (8799)

me a son
<01121>_:

therefore called
<07121> (8804)

she his name
<08034>

Dan
<01835>_.

{Dan: that is, Judging}

30:7

And Bilhah
<01090>

Rachel's
<07354>

maid
<08198>

conceived
<02029> (8799)

again, and bare
<03205> (8799)

Jacob
<03290>

a second
<08145>

son
<01121>_.

30:8

And Rachel
<07354>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

With great
<0430>

wrestlings
<05319>

have I wrestled
<06617> (8738)

with my sister
<0269>_,

and I have prevailed
<03201> (8804)_:

and she called
<07121> (8799)

his name
<08034>

Naphtali
<05321>_.

{great...: Heb. wrestlings of God} {Naphtali: that is, My wrestling: Gr. Nephthalim}

30:9

When Leah
<03812>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that she had left
<05975> (8804)

bearing
<03205> (8800)_,

she took
<03947> (8799)

Zilpah
<02153>

her maid
<08198>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

her Jacob
<03290>

to wife
<0802>_.

30:10

And Zilpah
<02153>

Leah's
<03812>

maid
<08198>

bare
<03205> (8799)

Jacob
<03290>

a son
<01121>_.

30:11

And Leah
<03812>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

A troop
<01409>

cometh
<0935> (8804)_:

and she called
<07121> (8799)

his name
<08034>

Gad
<01410>_.

{Gad: that is, A troop, or, company}

30:12

And Zilpah
<02153>

Leah's
<03812>

maid
<08198>

bare
<03205> (8799)

Jacob
<03290>

a second
<08145>

son
<01121>_.

30:13

And Leah
<03812>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Happy am I
<0837>_,

for the daughters
<01323>

will call me blessed
<0833> (8765)_:

and she called
<07121> (8799)

his name
<08034>

Asher
<0836>_.

{Happy...: Heb. In my happiness} {Asher: that is, Happy}

30:14

And Reuben
<07205>

went in
<03212> (8799)

the days
<03117>

of wheat
<02406>

harvest
<07105>_,

and found
<04672> (8799)

mandrakes
<01736>

in the field
<07704>_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

them unto his mother
<0517>

Leah
<03812>_.

Then Rachel
<07354>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Leah
<03812>_,

Give me
<05414> (8798)_,

I pray thee, of thy son's
<01121>

mandrakes
<01736>_.

30:15

And she said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, [Is it] a small matter
<04592>

that thou hast taken
<03947> (8800)

my husband
<0376>_?

and wouldest thou take away
<03947> (8800)

my son's
<01121>

mandrakes
<01736>

also? And Rachel
<07354>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Therefore he shall lie
<07901> (8799)

with thee to night
<03915>

for
<08478>

thy son's
<01121>

mandrakes
<01736>_.

30:16

And Jacob
<03290>

came
<0935> (8799)

out of the field
<07704>

in the evening
<06153>_,

and Leah
<03812>

went out
<03318> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thou must come in
<0935> (8799)

unto me; for surely
<07936> (8800)

I have hired
<07936> (8804)

thee with my son's
<01121>

mandrakes
<01736>_.

And he lay
<07901> (8799)

with her that night
<03915>_.

30:17

And God
<0430>

hearkened
<08085> (8799)

unto Leah
<03812>_,

and she conceived
<02029> (8799)_,

and bare
<03205> (8799)

Jacob
<03290>

the fifth
<02549>

son
<01121>_.

30:18

And Leah
<03812>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

God
<0430>

hath given
<05414> (8804)

me my hire
<07939>_,

because
<0834>

I have given
<05414> (8804)

my maiden
<08198>

to my husband
<0376>_:

and she called
<07121> (8799)

his name
<08034>

Issachar
<03485>_.

{Issachar: that is, An hire}

30:19

And Leah
<03812>

conceived
<02029> (8799)

again, and bare
<03205> (8799)

Jacob
<03290>

the sixth
<08345>

son
<01121>_.

30:20

And Leah
<03812>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

God
<0430>

hath endued
<02064> (8804)

me [with] a good
<02896>

dowry
<02065>_;

now
<06471>

will my husband
<0376>

dwell
<02082> (8799)

with me, because I have born
<03205> (8804)

him six
<08337>

sons
<01121>_:

and she called
<07121> (8799)

his name
<08034>

Zebulun
<02074>_.

{Zebulun: that is, Dwelling: Gr. Zabulon}

30:21

And afterwards
<0310>

she bare
<03205> (8804)

a daughter
<01323>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

her name
<08034>

Dinah
<01783>_.

{Dinah: that is Judgment}

30:22

And God
<0430>

remembered
<02142> (8799)

Rachel
<07354>_,

and God
<0430>

hearkened
<08085> (8799)

to her, and opened
<06605> (8799)

her womb
<07358>_.

30:23

And she conceived
<02029> (8799)_,

and bare
<03205> (8799)

a son
<01121>_;

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

God
<0430>

hath taken away
<0622> (8804)

my reproach
<02781>_:

30:24

And she called
<07121> (8799)

his name
<08034>

Joseph
<03130>_;

and said
<0559> (8800)_,

The LORD
<03068>

shall add
<03254> (8686)

to me another
<0312>

son
<01121>_.

{Joseph: that is, Adding}

30:25

And it came to pass, when Rachel
<07354>

had born
<03205> (8804)

Joseph
<03130>_,

that Jacob
<03290>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Laban
<03837>_,

Send me away
<07971> (8761)_,

that I may go
<03212> (8799)

unto mine own place
<04725>_,

and to my country
<0776>_.

30:26

Give
<05414> (8798)

[me] my wives
<0802>

and my children
<03206>_,

for
<02004>

whom I have served
<05647> (8804)

thee, and let me go
<03212> (8799)_:

for thou knowest
<03045> (8804)

my service
<05656>

which I have done
<05647> (8804)

thee.

30:27

And Laban
<03837>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, I pray thee, if I have found
<04672> (8804)

favour
<02580>

in thine eyes
<05869>_,

[tarry: for] I have learned by experience
<05172> (8765)

that the LORD
<03068>

hath blessed
<01288> (8762)

me for thy sake
<01558>_.

30:28

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Appoint
<05344> (8798)

me thy wages
<07939>_,

and I will give
<05414> (8799)

[it].

30:29

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Thou knowest
<03045> (8804)

how
<0834>

I have served
<05647> (8804)

thee, and how
<0834>

thy cattle
<04735>

was with me.

30:30

For [it was] little
<04592>

which thou hadst before I
<06440>

[came], and it is [now] increased
<06555> (8799)

unto a multitude
<07230>_;

and the LORD
<03068>

hath blessed
<01288> (8762)

thee since my coming
<07272>_:

and now when
<04970>

shall I provide
<06213> (8799)

for mine own house
<01004>

also? {increased: Heb. broken forth} {since...: Heb. at my foot}

30:31

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

What shall I give thee
<05414> (8799)_?

And Jacob
<03290>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thou shalt not give
<05414> (8799)

me any thing
<03972>_:

if thou wilt do
<06213> (8799)

this thing
<01697>

for me, I will again
<07725> (8799)

feed
<07462> (8799)

[and] keep
<08104> (8799)

thy flock
<06629>_:

30:32

I will pass
<05674> (8799)

through all thy flock
<06629>

to day
<03117>_,

removing
<05493> (8687)

from thence all the speckled
<05348>

and spotted
<02921> (8803)

cattle
<07716>_,

and all the brown
<02345>

cattle
<07716>

among the sheep
<03775>_,

and the spotted
<02921> (8803)

and speckled
<05348>

among the goats
<05795>_:

and [of such] shall be my hire
<07939>_.

30:33

So shall my righteousness
<06666>

answer
<06030> (8804)

for me in time
<03117>

to come
<04279>_,

when it shall come
<0935> (8799)

for my hire
<07939>

before thy face
<06440>_:

every one
<03605>

that [is] not speckled
<05348>

and spotted
<02921> (8803)

among the goats
<05795>_,

and brown
<02345>

among the sheep
<03775>_,

that shall be counted stolen
<01589> (8803)

with me. {in time...: Heb. to morrow}

30:34

And Laban
<03837>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, I would it might be
<03863>

according to thy word
<01697>_.

30:35

And he removed
<05493> (8686)

that day
<03117>

the he goats
<08495>

that were ringstraked
<06124>

and spotted
<02921> (8803)_,

and all the she goats
<05795>

that were speckled
<05348>

and spotted
<02921> (8803)_,

[and] every one that had [some] white
<03836>

in it, and all the brown
<02345>

among the sheep
<03775>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

[them] into the hand
<03027>

of his sons
<01121>_.

30:36

And he set
<07760> (8799)

three
<07969>

days
<03117>_'

journey
<01870>

betwixt himself and Jacob
<03290>_:

and Jacob
<03290>

fed
<07462> (8802)

the rest
<03498> (8737)

of Laban's
<03837>

flocks
<06629>_.

30:37

And Jacob
<03290>

took
<03947> (8799)

him rods
<04731>

of green
<03892>

poplar
<03839>_,

and of the hazel
<03869>

and chesnut tree
<06196>_;

and pilled
<06478> (8762)

white
<03836>

strakes
<06479>

in them, and made the white
<03836>

appear
<04286>

which [was] in the rods
<04731>_.

30:38

And he set
<03322> (8686)

the rods
<04731>

which he had pilled
<06478> (8765)

before
<05227>

the flocks
<06629>

in the gutters
<07298>

in the watering
<04325>

troughs
<08268>

when the flocks
<06629>

came
<0935> (8799)

to drink
<08354> (8800)_,

that they should conceive
<03179> (8799)

when they came
<0935> (8800)

to drink
<08354> (8800)_.

30:39

And the flocks
<06629>

conceived
<03179> (8799)

before the rods
<04731>_,

and brought forth
<03205> (8799)

cattle
<06629>

ringstraked
<06124>_,

speckled
<05348>_,

and spotted
<02921> (8803)_.

30:40

And Jacob
<03290>

did separate
<06504> (8689)

the lambs
<03775>_,

and set
<05414> (8799)

the faces
<06440>

of the flocks
<06629>

toward
<0413>

the ringstraked
<06124>_,

and all the brown
<02345>

in the flock
<06629>

of Laban
<03837>_;

and he put
<07896> (8799)

his own flocks
<05739>

by themselves, and put
<07896> (8804)

them not unto Laban's
<03837>

cattle
<06629>_.

30:41

And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger
<07194> (8794)

cattle
<06629>

did conceive
<03179> (8763)_,

that Jacob
<03290>

laid
<07760> (8804)

the rods
<04731>

before the eyes
<05869>

of the cattle
<06629>

in the gutters
<07298>_,

that they might conceive
<03179> (8763)

among the rods
<04731>_.

30:42

But when the cattle
<06629>

were feeble
<05848> (8687)_,

he put [them] not in
<07760> (8799)_:

so the feebler
<05848> (8803)

were Laban's
<03837>_,

and the stronger
<07194> (8803)

Jacob's
<03290>_.

30:43

And the man
<0376>

increased
<06555> (8799)

exceedingly
<03966> <03966>_,

and had much
<07227>

cattle
<06629>_,

and maidservants
<08198>_,

and menservants
<05650>_,

and camels
<01581>_,

and asses
<02543>_.

31:1

And he heard
<08085> (8799)

the words
<01697>

of Laban's
<03837>

sons
<01121>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Jacob
<03290>

hath taken away
<03947> (8804)

all that [was] our father's
<01>_;

and of [that] which [was] our father's
<01>

hath he gotten
<06213> (8804)

all this glory
<03519>_.

31:2

And Jacob
<03290>

beheld
<07200> (8799)

the countenance
<06440>

of Laban
<03837>_,

and, behold, it [was] not toward him as
<08543>

before
<08032>_.

{as before: Heb. as yesterday and the day before}

31:3

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jacob
<03290>_,

Return
<07725> (8798)

unto the land
<0776>

of thy fathers
<01>_,

and to thy kindred
<04138>_;

and I will be with thee.

31:4

And Jacob
<03290>

sent
<07971> (8799)

and called
<07121> (8799)

Rachel
<07354>

and Leah
<03812>

to the field
<07704>

unto his flock
<06629>_,

31:5

And said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, I see
<07200> (8802)

your father's
<01>

countenance
<06440>_,

that it [is] not toward me as
<08543>

before
<08032>_;

but the God
<0430>

of my father
<01>

hath been
<01961> (8804)

with me.

31:6

And ye
<0859>

know
<03045> (8804)

that with all my power
<03581>

I have served
<05647> (8804)

your father
<01>_.

31:7

And your father
<01>

hath deceived
<02048> (8765)

me, and changed
<02498> (8689)

my wages
<04909>

ten
<06235>

times
<04489>_;

but God
<0430>

suffered him
<05414> (8804)

not to hurt
<07489> (8687)

me
<05978>_.

31:8

If he said
<0559> (8799)

thus, The speckled
<05348>

shall be thy wages
<07939>_;

then all the cattle
<06629>

bare
<03205> (8804)

speckled
<05348>_:

and if he said
<0559> (8799)

thus, The ringstraked
<06124>

shall be thy hire
<07939>_;

then bare
<03205> (8804)

all the cattle
<06629>

ringstraked
<06124>_.

31:9

Thus God
<0430>

hath taken away
<05337> (8686)

the cattle
<04735>

of your father
<01>_,

and given
<05414> (8799)

[them] to me.

31:10

And it came to pass at the time
<06256>

that the cattle
<06629>

conceived
<03179> (8763)_,

that I lifted up
<05375> (8799)

mine eyes
<05869>_,

and saw
<07200> (8799)

in a dream
<02472>_,

and, behold, the rams
<06260>

which leaped
<05927> (8802)

upon the cattle
<06629>

[were] ringstraked
<06124>_,

speckled
<05348>_,

and grisled
<01261>_.

{rams: or, he goats}

31:11

And the angel
<04397>

of God
<0430>

spake
<0559> (8799)

unto me in a dream
<02472>_,

[saying], Jacob
<03290>_:

And I said
<0559> (8799)_,

Here [am] I.

31:12

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Lift up
<05375> (8798)

now thine eyes
<05869>_,

and see
<07200> (8798)_,

all the rams
<06260>

which leap
<05927> (8802)

upon the cattle
<06629>

[are] ringstraked
<06124>_,

speckled
<05348>_,

and grisled
<01261>_:

for I have seen
<07200> (8804)

all that Laban
<03837>

doeth
<06213> (8802)

unto thee.

31:13

I [am] the God
<0410>

of Bethel
<01008>_,

where thou anointedst
<04886> (8804)

the pillar
<04676>_,

[and] where thou vowedst
<05087> (8804)

a vow
<05088>

unto me: now arise
<06965> (8798)_,

get thee out
<03318> (8798)

from this land
<0776>_,

and return
<07725> (8798)

unto the land
<0776>

of thy kindred
<04138>_.

31:14

And Rachel
<07354>

and Leah
<03812>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, [Is there] yet any portion
<02506>

or inheritance
<05159>

for us in our father's
<01>

house
<01004>_?

31:15

Are we not counted
<02803> (8738)

of him strangers
<05237>_?

for he hath sold
<04376> (8804)

us, and hath quite
<0398> (8800)

devoured
<0398> (8799)

also our money
<03701>_.

31:16

For all the riches
<06239>

which God
<0430>

hath taken
<05337> (8689)

from our father
<01>_,

that [is] ours, and our children's
<01121>_:

now then, whatsoever God
<0430>

hath said
<0559> (8804)

unto thee, do
<06213> (8798)_.

31:17

Then Jacob
<03290>

rose up
<06965> (8799)_,

and set
<05375> (8799)

his sons
<01121>

and his wives
<0802>

upon camels
<01581>_;

31:18

And he carried away
<05090> (8799)

all his cattle
<04735>_,

and all his goods
<07399>

which he had gotten
<07408> (8804)_,

the cattle
<04735>

of his getting
<07075>_,

which he had gotten
<07408> (8804)

in Padanaram
<06307>_,

for to go
<0935> (8800)

to Isaac
<03327>

his father
<01>

in the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_.

31:19

And Laban
<03837>

went
<01980> (8804)

to shear
<01494> (8800)

his sheep
<06629>_:

and Rachel
<07354>

had stolen
<01589> (8799)

the images
<08655>

that [were] her father's
<01>_.

{images: Heb. teraphim}

31:20

And Jacob
<03290>

stole away
<01589> (8799)

unawares
<03820>

to Laban
<03837>

the Syrian
<0761>_,

in that
<05921>

he told
<05046> (8689)

him not
<01097>

that he fled
<01272> (8802)_.

{unawares...: Heb. the heart of Laban}

31:21

So he fled
<01272> (8799)

with all that he had; and he rose up
<06965> (8799)_,

and passed over
<05674> (8799)

the river
<05104>_,

and set
<07760> (8799)

his face
<06440>

[toward] the mount
<02022>

Gilead
<01568>_.

31:22

And it was told
<05046> (8714)

Laban
<03837>

on the third
<07992>

day
<03117>

that Jacob
<03290>

was fled
<01272> (8804)_.

31:23

And he took
<03947> (8799)

his brethren
<0251>

with him, and pursued
<07291> (8799)

after him
<0310>

seven
<07651>

days
<03117>_'

journey
<01870>_;

and they overtook
<01692> (8686)

him in the mount
<02022>

Gilead
<01568>_.

31:24

And God
<0430>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Laban
<03837>

the Syrian
<0761>

in a dream
<02472>

by night
<03915>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Take heed
<08104> (8734)

that thou speak
<01696> (8762)

not to
<05973>

Jacob
<03290>

either good
<02896>

or
<05704>

bad
<07451>_.

{either...: Heb. from good to bad}

31:25

Then Laban
<03837>

overtook
<05381> (8686)

Jacob
<03290>_.

Now Jacob
<03290>

had pitched
<08628> (8804)

his tent
<0168>

in the mount
<02022>_:

and Laban
<03837>

with his brethren
<0251>

pitched
<08628> (8804)

in the mount
<02022>

of Gilead
<01568>_.

31:26

And Laban
<03837>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Jacob
<03290>_,

What hast thou done
<06213> (8804)_,

that thou hast stolen away
<01589> (8799)

unawares
<03824>

to me, and carried away
<05090> (8762)

my daughters
<01323>_,

as captives
<07617> (8803)

[taken] with the sword
<02719>_?

31:27

Wherefore didst thou flee away
<01272> (8800)

secretly
<02244> (8738)_,

and steal away
<01589> (8799)

from me; and didst not tell
<05046> (8689)

me, that I might have sent thee away
<07971> (8762)

with mirth
<08057>_,

and with songs
<07892>_,

with tabret
<08596>_,

and with harp
<03658>_?

{steal...: Heb. hast stolen me}

31:28

And hast not suffered
<05203> (8804)

me to kiss
<05401> (8763)

my sons
<01121>

and my daughters
<01323>_?

thou hast now done foolishly
<05528> (8689)

in [so] doing
<06213> (8800)_.

31:29

It is
<03426>

in the power
<0410>

of my hand
<03027>

to do
<06213> (8800)

you hurt
<07451>_:

but the God
<0430>

of your father
<01>

spake
<0559> (8804)

unto me yesternight
<0570>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Take thou heed
<08104> (8734)

that thou speak not
<01696> (8763)

to Jacob
<03290>

either good
<02896>

or bad
<07451>_.

31:30

And now, [though] thou wouldest needs
<01980> (8800)

be gone
<01980> (8804)_,

because thou sore
<03700> (8736)

longedst
<03700> (8738)

after thy father's
<01>

house
<01004>_,

[yet] wherefore hast thou stolen
<01589> (8804)

my gods
<0430>_?

31:31

And Jacob
<03290>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)

to Laban
<03837>_,

Because I was afraid
<03372> (8804)_:

for I said
<0559> (8804)_,

Peradventure
<06435>

thou wouldest take by force
<01497> (8799)

thy daughters
<01323>

from me.

31:32

With whomsoever
<0834>

thou findest
<04672> (8799)

thy gods
<0430>_,

let him not live
<02421> (8799)_:

before
<05048>

our brethren
<0251>

discern
<05234> (8685)

thou what [is] thine with me, and take
<03947> (8798)

[it] to thee. For Jacob
<03290>

knew
<03045> (8804)

not that Rachel
<07354>

had stolen
<01589> (8804)

them.

31:33

And Laban
<03837>

went
<0935> (8799)

into Jacob's
<03290>

tent
<0168>_,

and into Leah's
<03812>

tent
<0168>_,

and into the two
<08147>

maidservants
<0519>_'

tents
<0168>_;

but he found
<04672> (8804)

[them] not. Then went he out
<03318> (8799)

of Leah's
<03812>

tent
<0168>_,

and entered
<0935> (8799)

into Rachel's
<07354>

tent
<0168>_.

31:34

Now Rachel
<07354>

had taken
<03947> (8804)

the images
<08655>_,

and put
<07760> (8799)

them in the camel's
<01581>

furniture
<03733>_,

and sat
<03427> (8799)

upon them. And Laban
<03837>

searched
<04959> (8762)

all the tent
<0168>_,

but found
<04672> (8804)

[them] not. {searched: Heb. felt}

31:35

And she said
<0559> (8799)

to her father
<01>_,

Let it not displease
<02734> (8799) <05869>

my lord
<0113>

that I cannot
<03201> (8799)

rise up
<06965> (8800)

before thee
<06440>_;

for the custom
<01870>

of women
<0802>

[is] upon me. And he searched
<02664> (8762)_,

but found
<04672> (8804)

not the images
<08655>_.

31:36

And Jacob
<03290>

was wroth
<02734> (8799)_,

and chode
<07378> (8799)

with Laban
<03837>_:

and Jacob
<03290>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)

to Laban
<03837>_,

What [is] my trespass
<06588>_?

what [is] my sin
<02403>_,

that thou hast so hotly pursued
<01814> (8804)

after me
<0310>_?

31:37

Whereas
<03588>

thou hast searched
<04959> (8765)

all my stuff
<03627>_,

what hast thou found
<04672> (8804)

of all thy household
<01004>

stuff
<03627>_?

set
<07760> (8798)

[it] here
<03541>

before my brethren
<0251>

and thy brethren
<0251>_,

that they may judge
<03198> (8686)

betwixt
<0996>

us both
<08147>_.

{searched: Heb. felt}

31:38

This twenty
<06242>

years
<08141>

[have] I [been] with thee; thy ewes
<07353>

and thy she goats
<05795>

have not cast their young
<07921> (8765)_,

and the rams
<0352>

of thy flock
<06629>

have I not eaten
<0398> (8804)_.

31:39

That which was torn
<02966>

[of beasts] I brought
<0935> (8689)

not unto thee; I bare the loss
<02398> (8762)

of it; of my hand
<03027>

didst thou require
<01245> (8762)

it, [whether] stolen
<01589> (8803)

by day
<03117>_,

or stolen
<01589> (8803)

by night
<03915>_.

31:40

[Thus] I was; in the day
<03117>

the drought
<02721>

consumed
<0398> (8804)

me, and the frost
<07140>

by night
<03915>_;

and my sleep
<08142>

departed
<05074> (8799)

from mine eyes
<05869>_.

31:41

Thus have I been twenty
<06242>

years
<08141>

in thy house
<01004>_;

I served thee
<05647> (8804)

fourteen
<0702> <06240>

years
<08141>

for thy two
<08147>

daughters
<01323>_,

and six
<08337>

years
<08141>

for thy cattle
<06629>_:

and thou hast changed
<02498> (8686)

my wages
<04909>

ten
<06235>

times
<04489>_.

31:42

Except
<03884>

the God
<0430>

of my father
<01>_,

the God
<0430>

of Abraham
<085>_,

and the fear
<06343>

of Isaac
<03327>_,

had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away
<07971> (8765)

now empty
<07387>_.

God
<0430>

hath seen
<07200> (8804)

mine affliction
<06040>

and the labour
<03018>

of my hands
<03709>_,

and rebuked
<03198> (8686)

[thee] yesternight
<0570>_.

31:43

And Laban
<03837>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jacob
<03290>_,

[These] daughters
<01323>

[are] my daughters
<01323>_,

and [these] children
<01121>

[are] my children
<01121>_,

and [these] cattle
<06629>

[are] my cattle
<06629>_,

and all that thou seest
<07200> (8802)

[is] mine: and what can I do
<06213> (8799)

this day
<03117>

unto these my daughters
<01323>_,

or
<0176>

unto their children
<01121>

which they have born
<03205> (8804)_?

31:44

Now therefore come thou
<03212> (8798)_,

let us make
<03772> (8799)

a covenant
<01285>_,

I and thou; and let it be for a witness
<05707>

between me and thee.

31:45

And Jacob
<03290>

took
<03947> (8799)

a stone
<068>_,

and set it up
<07311> (8686)

[for] a pillar
<04676>_.

31:46

And Jacob
<03290>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his brethren
<0251>_,

Gather
<03950> (8798)

stones
<068>_;

and they took
<03947> (8799)

stones
<068>_,

and made
<06213> (8799)

an heap
<01530>_:

and they did eat
<0398> (8799)

there upon the heap
<01530>_.

31:47

And Laban
<03837>

called
<07121> (8799)

it Jegarsahadutha
<03026>_:

but Jacob
<03290>

called
<07121> (8804)

it Galeed
<01567>_.

{Jegarsahadutha: that is, The heap of witness, Chaldee} {Galeed: that is, The heap of witness, Heb.}

31:48

And Laban
<03837>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

This heap
<01530>

[is] a witness
<05707>

between me and thee this day
<03117>_.

Therefore was the name
<08034>

of it called
<07121> (8804)

Galeed
<01567>_;

31:49

And Mizpah
<04709>_;

for
<0834>

he said
<0559> (8804)_,

The LORD
<03068>

watch
<06822> (8799)

between me and thee, when we are absent
<05641> (8735)

one
<0376>

from another
<07453>_.

{Mizpah: that is, A beacon, or, watchtower}

31:50

If thou shalt afflict
<06031> (8762)

my daughters
<01323>_,

or if thou shalt take
<03947> (8799)

[other] wives
<0802>

beside
<05921>

my daughters
<01323>_,

no man
<0376>

[is] with us; see
<07200> (8798)_,

God
<0430>

[is] witness
<05707>

betwixt me and thee.

31:51

And Laban
<03837>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Jacob
<03290>_,

Behold this heap
<01530>_,

and behold [this] pillar
<04676>_,

which I have cast
<03384> (8804)

betwixt me and thee;

31:52

This heap
<01530>

[be] witness
<05707>_,

and [this] pillar
<04676>

[be] witness
<05713>_,

that I will not pass over
<05674> (8799)

this heap
<01530>

to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over
<05674> (8799)

this heap
<01530>

and this pillar
<04676>

unto me, for harm
<07451>_.

31:53

The God
<0430>

of Abraham
<085>_,

and the God
<0430>

of Nahor
<05152>_,

the God
<0430>

of their father
<01>_,

judge
<08199> (8799)

betwixt us. And Jacob
<03290>

sware
<07650> (8735)

by the fear
<06343>

of his father
<01>

Isaac
<03327>_.

31:54

Then Jacob
<03290>

offered
<02076> (8799)

sacrifice
<02077>

upon the mount
<02022>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

his brethren
<0251>

to eat
<0398> (8800)

bread
<03899>_:

and they did eat
<0398> (8799)

bread
<03899>_,

and tarried all night
<03885> (8799)

in the mount
<02022>_.

{offered...: or, killed beasts}

31:55

And early
<07925> (0)

in the morning
<01242>

Laban
<03837>

rose up
<07925> (8686)_,

and kissed
<05401> (8762)

his sons
<01121>

and his daughters
<01323>_,

and blessed
<01288> (8762)

them: and Laban
<03837>

departed
<03212> (8799)_,

and returned
<07725> (8799)

unto his place
<04725>_.

32:1

And Jacob
<03290>

went
<01980> (8804)

on his way
<01870>_,

and the angels
<04397>

of God
<0430>

met
<06293> (8799)

him.

32:2

And when Jacob
<03290>

saw them
<07200> (8804)_,

he said
<0559> (8799)_,

This [is] God's
<0430>

host
<04264>_:

and he called
<07121> (8799)

the name
<08034>

of that place
<04725>

Mahanaim
<04266>_.

{Mahanaim: that is, Two hosts, or, camps}

32:3

And Jacob
<03290>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

before him
<06440>

to Esau
<06215>

his brother
<0251>

unto the land
<0776>

of Seir
<08165>_,

the country
<07704>

of Edom
<0123>_.

{country: Heb. field}

32:4

And he commanded
<06680> (8762)

them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thus shall ye speak
<0559> (8799)

unto my lord
<0113>

Esau
<06215>_;

Thy servant
<05650>

Jacob
<03290>

saith
<0559> (8804)

thus, I have sojourned
<01481> (8804)

with Laban
<03837>_,

and stayed there
<0309> (8799)

until now:

32:5

And I have oxen
<07794>_,

and asses
<02543>_,

flocks
<06629>_,

and menservants
<05650>_,

and womenservants
<08198>_:

and I have sent
<07971> (8799)

to tell
<05046> (8687)

my lord
<0113>_,

that I may find
<04672> (8800)

grace
<02580>

in thy sight
<05869>_.

32:6

And the messengers
<04397>

returned
<07725> (8799)

to Jacob
<03290>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

We came
<0935> (8804)

to thy brother
<0251>

Esau
<06215>_,

and also he cometh
<01980> (8802)

to meet thee
<07125> (8800)_,

and four hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>

with him.

32:7

Then Jacob
<03290>

was greatly
<03966>

afraid
<03372> (8799)

and distressed
<03334> (8799)_:

and he divided
<02673> (8799)

the people
<05971>

that [was] with him, and the flocks
<06629>_,

and herds
<01241>_,

and the camels
<01581>_,

into two
<08147>

bands
<04264>_;

32:8

And said
<0559> (8799)_,

If Esau
<06215>

come
<0935> (8799)

to the one
<0259>

company
<04264>_,

and smite it
<05221> (8689)_,

then the other company
<04264>

which is left
<07604> (8737)

shall escape
<06413>_.

32:9

And Jacob
<03290>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

O God
<0430>

of my father
<01>

Abraham
<085>_,

and God
<0430>

of my father
<01>

Isaac
<03327>_,

the LORD
<03068>

which saidst
<0559> (8802)

unto me, Return
<07725> (8798)

unto thy country
<0776>_,

and to thy kindred
<04138>_,

and I will deal well
<03190> (8686)

with thee:

32:10

I am not worthy of the least
<06994> (8804)

of all the mercies
<02617>_,

and of all the truth
<0571>_,

which thou hast shewed
<06213> (8804)

unto thy servant
<05650>_;

for with my staff
<04731>

I passed over
<05674> (8804)

this Jordan
<03383>_;

and now I am become two
<08147>

bands
<04264>_.

{I am not...: Heb. I am less than all}

32:11

Deliver me
<05337> (8685)_,

I pray thee, from the hand
<03027>

of my brother
<0251>_,

from the hand
<03027>

of Esau
<06215>_:

for I fear
<03373>

him, lest he will come
<0935> (8799)

and smite me
<05221> (8689)_,

[and] the mother
<0517>

with
<05921>

the children
<01121>_.

{with: Heb. upon}

32:12

And thou saidst
<0559> (8804)_,

I will surely
<03190> (8687)

do thee good
<03190> (8686)_,

and make
<07760> (8804)

thy seed
<02233>

as the sand
<02344>

of the sea
<03220>_,

which cannot be numbered
<05608> (8735)

for multitude
<07230>_.

32:13

And he lodged
<03885> (8799)

there that same night
<03915>_;

and took
<03947> (8799)

of that which came
<0935> (8802)

to his hand
<03027>

a present
<04503>

for Esau
<06215>

his brother
<0251>_;

32:14

Two hundred
<03967>

she goats
<05795>_,

and twenty
<06242>

he goats
<08495>_,

two hundred
<03967>

ewes
<07353>_,

and twenty
<06242>

rams
<0352>_,

32:15

Thirty
<07970>

milch
<03243> (8688)

camels
<01581>

with their colts
<01121>_,

forty
<0705>

kine
<06510>_,

and ten
<06235>

bulls
<06499>_,

twenty
<06242>

she asses
<0860>_,

and ten
<06235>

foals
<05895>_.

32:16

And he delivered
<05414> (8799)

[them] into the hand
<03027>

of his servants
<05650>_,

every drove
<05739>

by themselves; and said
<0559> (8799)

unto his servants
<05650>_,

Pass over
<05674> (8798)

before me
<06440>_,

and put
<07760> (8799)

a space
<07305>

betwixt
<0996>

drove
<05739>

and
<0996>

drove
<05739>_.

32:17

And he commanded
<06680> (8762)

the foremost
<07223>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

When Esau
<06215>

my brother
<0251>

meeteth thee
<06298> (8799)_,

and asketh thee
<07592> (8804)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Whose [art] thou? and whither goest
<03212> (8799)

thou? and whose [are] these before
<06440>

thee?

32:18

Then thou shalt say
<0559> (8804)_,

[They be] thy servant
<05650>

Jacob's
<03290>_;

it [is] a present
<04503>

sent
<07971> (8803)

unto my lord
<0113>

Esau
<06215>_:

and, behold, also he [is] behind us
<0310>_.

32:19

And so
<01571>

commanded he
<06680> (8762)

the second
<08145>_,

and the third
<07992>_,

and all that followed
<01980> (8802) <0310>

the droves
<05739>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

On this manner
<01697>

shall ye speak
<01696> (8762)

unto Esau
<06215>_,

when ye find
<04672> (8800)

him.

32:20

And say ye
<0559> (8804)

moreover
<01571>_,

Behold, thy servant
<05650>

Jacob
<03290>

[is] behind us
<0310>_.

For he said
<0559> (8804)_,

I will appease
<03722> (8762)

him
<06440>

with the present
<04503>

that goeth
<01980> (8802)

before me
<06440>_,

and afterward
<0310>

I will see
<07200> (8799)

his face
<06440>_;

peradventure he will accept
<05375> (8799)

of me
<06440>_.

{of me: Heb. my face}

32:21

So went
<05674> (0)

the present
<04503>

over
<05674> (8799)

before him
<06440>_:

and himself lodged
<03885> (8804)

that night
<03915>

in the company
<04264>_.

32:22

And he rose up
<06965> (8799)

that night
<03915>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

his two
<08147>

wives
<0802>_,

and his two
<08147>

womenservants
<08198>_,

and his eleven
<06240> <0259>

sons
<03206>_,

and passed over
<05674> (8799)

the ford
<04569>

Jabbok
<02999>_.

32:23

And he took them
<03947> (8799)_,

and sent them over
<05674> (8686)

the brook
<05158>_,

and sent over
<05674> (8686)

that he had. {sent them: Heb. caused to pass}

32:24

And Jacob
<03290>

was left
<03498> (8735)

alone; and there wrestled
<079> (8735)

a man
<0376>

with him until the breaking
<05927> (8800)

of the day
<07837>_.

{breaking...: Heb. ascending of the morning}

32:25

And when he saw
<07200> (8799)

that he prevailed
<03201> (8804)

not against him, he touched
<05060> (8799)

the hollow of his thigh
<03409>_;

and the hollow
<03709>

of Jacob's
<03290>

thigh
<03409>

was out of joint
<03363> (8799)_,

as he wrestled
<079> (8736)

with him.

32:26

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let me go
<07971> (8761)_,

for the day
<07837>

breaketh
<05927> (8804)_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will not let thee go
<07971> (8762)_,

except
<0518>

thou bless
<01288> (8765)

me.

32:27

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, What [is] thy name
<08034>_?

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Jacob
<03290>_.

32:28

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thy name
<08034>

shall be called
<0559> (8735)

no more Jacob
<03290>_,

but Israel
<03478>_:

for as a prince hast thou power
<08280> (8804)

with God
<0430>

and with men
<0582>_,

and hast prevailed
<03201> (8799)_.

{Israel: that is, A prince of God}

32:29

And Jacob
<03290>

asked
<07592> (8799)

[him], and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Tell
<05046> (8685)

[me], I pray thee, thy name
<08034>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Wherefore [is] it
<02088>

[that] thou dost ask
<07592> (8799)

after my name
<08034>_?

And he blessed
<01288> (8762)

him there.

32:30

And Jacob
<03290>

called
<07121> (8799)

the name
<08034>

of the place
<04725>

Peniel
<06439>_:

for I have seen
<07200> (8804)

God
<0430>

face
<06440>

to face
<06440>_,

and my life
<05315>

is preserved
<05337> (8735)_.

{Peniel: that is, The face of God}

32:31

And as he passed over
<05674> (8804)

Penuel
<06439>

the sun
<08121>

rose
<02224> (8799)

upon him, and he halted
<06760> (8802)

upon his thigh
<03409>_.

32:32

Therefore the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

eat
<0398> (8799)

not [of] the sinew
<01517>

which shrank
<05384>_,

which [is] upon the hollow
<03709>

of the thigh
<03409>_,

unto this day
<03117>_:

because he touched
<05060> (8804)

the hollow
<03709>

of Jacob's
<03290>

thigh
<03409>

in the sinew
<01517>

that shrank
<05384>_.

33:1

And Jacob
<03290>

lifted up
<05375> (8799)

his eyes
<05869>_,

and looked
<07200> (8799)_,

and, behold, Esau
<06215>

came
<0935> (8802)_,

and with him four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>_.

And he divided
<02673> (8799)

the children
<03206>

unto Leah
<03812>_,

and unto Rachel
<07354>_,

and unto the two
<08147>

handmaids
<08198>_.

33:2

And he put
<07760> (8799)

the handmaids
<08198>

and their children
<03206>

foremost
<07223>_,

and Leah
<03812>

and her children
<03206>

after
<0314>_,

and Rachel
<07354>

and Joseph
<03130>

hindermost
<0314>_.

33:3

And he passed over
<05674> (8804)

before them
<06440>_,

and bowed himself
<07812> (8691)

to the ground
<0776>

seven
<07651>

times
<06471>_,

until he came near
<05066> (8800)

to his brother
<0251>_.

33:4

And Esau
<06215>

ran
<07323> (8799)

to meet him
<07125> (8800)_,

and embraced
<02263> (8762)

him, and fell
<05307> (8799)

on his neck
<06677>_,

and kissed him
<05401> (8799)_:

and they wept
<01058> (8799)_.

33:5

And he lifted up
<05375> (8799)

his eyes
<05869>_,

and saw
<07200> (8799)

the women
<0802>

and the children
<03206>_;

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Who [are] those
<0428>

with thee? And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

The children
<03206>

which God
<0430>

hath graciously given
<02603> (8804)

thy servant
<05650>_.

{with...: Heb. to thee}

33:6

Then the handmaidens
<08198>

came near
<05066> (8799)_,

they and their children
<03206>_,

and they bowed themselves
<07812> (8691)_.

33:7

And Leah
<03812>

also with her children
<03206>

came near
<05066> (8799)_,

and bowed themselves
<07812> (8691)_:

and after
<0310>

came
<05066> (0)

Joseph
<03130>

near
<05066> (8738)

and Rachel
<07354>_,

and they bowed
<07812> (8691)

themselves.

33:8

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

What [meanest] thou by all this drove
<04264>

which I met
<06298> (8804)_?

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

[These are] to find
<04672> (8800)

grace
<02580>

in the sight
<05869>

of my lord
<0113>_.

{What...: Heb. What is all this band to thee?}

33:9

And Esau
<06215>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

I have
<03426>

enough
<07227>_,

my brother
<0251>_;

keep that thou hast unto thyself. {keep...: Heb. be that to thee that is thine}

33:10

And Jacob
<03290>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found
<04672> (8804)

grace
<02580>

in thy sight
<05869>_,

then receive
<03947> (8804)

my present
<04503>

at my hand
<03027>_:

for therefore I have seen
<07200> (8804)

thy face
<06440>_,

as though I had seen
<07200> (8800)

the face
<06440>

of God
<0430>_,

and thou wast pleased with me
<07521> (8799)_.

33:11

Take
<03947> (8798)_,

I pray thee, my blessing
<01293>

that is brought
<0935> (8717)

to thee; because God
<0430>

hath dealt graciously with me
<02603> (8804)_,

and because
<03605> (0)

I have
<03426>

enough
<03605>_.

And he urged
<06484> (8799)

him, and he took
<03947> (8799)

[it]. {enough: Heb. all things}

33:12

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let us take our journey
<05265> (8799)_,

and let us go
<03212> (8799)_,

and I will go
<03212> (8799)

before thee.

33:13

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, My lord
<0113>

knoweth
<03045> (8802)

that the children
<03206>

[are] tender
<07390>_,

and the flocks
<06629>

and herds
<01241>

with young
<05763> (8802)

[are] with me: and if men should overdrive
<01849> (8804)

them one
<0259>

day
<03117>_,

all the flock
<06629>

will die
<04191> (8804)_.

33:14

Let my lord
<0113>_,

I pray thee, pass over
<05674> (8799)

before
<06440>

his servant
<05650>_:

and I will lead on
<05095> (8691)

softly
<0328>_,

according as
<07272>

the cattle
<04399>

that goeth before me
<06440>

and the children
<03206>

be able to endure
<07272>_,

until I come
<0935> (8799)

unto my lord
<0113>

unto Seir
<08165>_.

{according...: Heb. according to the foot of the work, etc., and according to the foot of the children}

33:15

And Esau
<06215>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let me now leave
<03322> (8686)

with thee [some] of the folk
<05971>

that [are] with me. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

What
<04100>

needeth it? let me find
<04672> (8799)

grace
<02580>

in the sight
<05869>

of my lord
<0113>_.

{leave: Heb. set, or, place} {What...: Heb. Wherefore is this?}

33:16

So Esau
<06215>

returned
<07725> (8799)

that day
<03117>

on his way
<01870>

unto Seir
<08165>_.

33:17

And Jacob
<03290>

journeyed
<05265> (8804)

to Succoth
<05523>_,

and built
<01129> (8799)

him an house
<01004>_,

and made
<06213> (8804)

booths
<05521>

for his cattle
<04735>_:

therefore the name
<08034>

of the place
<04725>

is called
<07121> (8804)

Succoth
<05523>_.

{Succoth: that is, Booths}

33:18

And Jacob
<03290>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Shalem
<08004>_,

a city
<05892>

of Shechem
<07927>_,

which [is] in the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_,

when he came
<0935> (8800)

from Padanaram
<06307>_;

and pitched his tent
<02583> (8799)

before
<06440>

the city
<05892>_.

{Shechem: Gr. Sychem}

33:19

And he bought
<07069> (8799)

a parcel
<02513>

of a field
<07704>_,

where he had spread
<05186> (8804)

his tent
<0168>_,

at the hand
<03027>

of the children
<01121>

of Hamor
<02544>_,

Shechem's
<07927>

father
<01>_,

for an hundred
<03967>

pieces of money
<07192>_.

{Hamor: Gr. Emmor} {pieces...: or, lambs}

33:20

And he erected
<05324> (8686)

there an altar
<04196>_,

and called it
<07121> (8799)

Elelohe-Israel
<0415>_.

{Elelohe-Israel: that is God the God of Israel}
