Rebekah looked up and saw Isaac. She got down from her camel

Isaac loved Esau because he had a taste for fresh game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.

When Isaac planted in that land, he reaped in the same year a hundred times what he had sown, because the Lord blessed him.

Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Leave us and go elsewhere, for you have become much more powerful than we are.”

When Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and discovered a well with fresh flowing water there,

Isaac asked them, “Why have you come to me? You hate me and sent me away from you.”

Early in the morning the men made a treaty with each other. Isaac sent them off; they separated on good terms.

Then his father Isaac said to him, “Come here and kiss me, my son.”

His father Isaac asked, “Who are you?” “I am your firstborn son,” he replied, “Esau!”

Then Esau realized that the Canaanite women were displeasing to his father Isaac.

So Abimelech summoned Isaac and said, “She is really your wife! Why did you say, ‘She is my sister’?” Isaac replied, “Because I thought someone might kill me to get her.”

Isaac had just finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had scarcely left his father’s presence, when his brother Esau returned from the hunt.

But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this set time next year.”

So she said to Abraham, “Banish that slave woman and her son, for the son of that slave woman will not be an heir along with my son Isaac!”

Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and put it on his son Isaac. Then he took the fire and the knife in his hand, and the two of them walked on together.

Isaac said to his father Abraham, “My father?” “What is it, my son?” he replied. “Here is the fire and the wood,” Isaac said, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”

But while he was still alive, Abraham gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them off to the east, away from his son Isaac.

His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah near Mamre, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar, the Hethite.

When Isaac was forty years old, he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan Aram and sister of Laban the Aramean.

Isaac prayed to the Lord on behalf of his wife because she was childless. The Lord answered his prayer, and his wife Rebekah became pregnant.
