Genesis 26:1--29:35

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}
