and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred,
and of my father’s house:

Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;
Here I am, standing beside this spring. Now if a
maiden comes out to draw water
and I say to her, ‘Please let me drink a little water from your
jar,’
And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD hath appointed out for my master’s son.

Rebekah coming out with her
jar on her shoulder,
and she went down to the spring
and drew water. So I said to her, ‘Please give me a drink.’

haste,
and let down her pitcher from her shoulder,
and said, Drink,
and I will give thy camels drink also: so I
drank,
and she made the camels drink also.

jar from her shoulder

and I will water your camels as well.’ So I
drank,

Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bare unto him:
and I put the
earring upon her face,
and the bracelets upon her hands.

Bethuel son of
Nahor, whom Milcah bore to him.’ So I put the ring on her nose
and the bracelets on her wrists.

granddaughter of my master’s brother for his son.

Now if you will show kindness and faithfulness to my master, tell me; but if not, let me know, so that I may go elsewhere.”

and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.

prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.

hate them.

Rebekah,
and went his way.

and saw,

Rebekah looked up
and saw Isaac, she got down from her
camel For she had said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us?
And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a
vail,
and covered herself.

And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham
begat Isaac:
This is the account of Abraham’s son Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,
And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren:
and the LORD was intreated of him,
and Rebekah his wife conceived.
Later, Isaac prayed to the LORD on behalf of his wife, because she was barren.
And the LORD heard his prayer,
and his wife
Rebekah conceived.
And the children struggled together within her;
and she said, If it be so, why am I thus?
And she went to
enquire of the LORD.
But the children inside her struggled with each other,
and she said, “Why is this happening to me?” So
Rebekah went to inquire of the LORD,
And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy
womb,
and two manner of people shall be separated from thy
bowels;
and the one people shall be stronger than the other people;
and the elder shall serve the younger.
and He declared to her: “Two nations are in your
womb,
and two peoples from within you will be separated; one people will be stronger than the other,
and the older will serve the younger.”
And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her
womb.
When her time came to give birth, there were indeed twins in her
womb.
And the first came out red, all over like an
hairy garment;
and they called his name
Esau.
The first one came out red, covered with hair like a fur coat; so they named him
Esau.
And after that came his brother out,
and his hand took hold on
Esau’s
heel;
and his name was called Jacob:
and Isaac was
threescore years old when she bare them.
After this, his brother came out
grasping Esau’s
heel; so he was named Jacob.
And Isaac was sixty years old when the twins were born.
And the boys grew:
and Esau was a
cunning hunter, a man of the field;
and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
When the boys grew up,
Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man who stayed at home.
Because Isaac had a taste for wild game, he loved
Esau; but
Rebekah loved Jacob.
And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red
pottage; for I am
faint: therefore was his name called
Edom.
He said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red
stew, for I am
famished.” (That is why he was also called
Edom.)
And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die:
and what profit shall this
birthright do to me?
“Look,” said
Esau, “I am about to die, so what good is a
birthright to me?”
And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham.
And Isaac went unto
Abimelech king of the Philistines unto
Gerar.
Now there was another famine in the land, subsequent to the one that had occurred in Abraham’s time.
And Isaac went to
Abimelech king of the Philistines at
Gerar.
And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:
The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt. Settle in the land where I tell you.
Sojourn in this land,
and I will be with thee,
and will
bless thee; for unto thee,
and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries,
and I will perform the oath which I
sware unto Abraham thy father;
Stay in this land as a foreigner,
and I will be with you
and bless you. For I will give all these lands to you
and your offspring,
and I will
confirm the oath that I
swore to your father Abraham.
And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky, and I will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed,
Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
because Abraham
listened to My voice
and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes,
and My laws.”
And Isaac dwelt in
Gerar:
So Isaac settled in
Gerar.
And the men of the place asked him of his wife;
and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for
Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon.
But when the men of that place asked about his wife, he said, “She is my sister.” For he was afraid to say, “She is my wife,” since he thought to himself, “The men of this place will kill me on account of
Rebekah, because she is so beautiful.”
And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that
Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window,
and saw,
and, behold, Isaac was
sporting with
Rebekah his wife.
When Isaac had been there a long time,
Abimelech king of the Philistines looked down from the window
and was surprised to see Isaac
caressing his wife
Rebekah.
And Abimelech called Isaac,
and said, Behold, of a
surety she is thy wife:
and how saidst thou, She is my sister?
And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.
Abimelech sent for Isaac
and said, “So she is really your wife! How could you say, ‘She is my sister’?” Isaac replied, “Because I thought I might die on account of her.”
And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have
lien with thy wife,
and thou shouldest have brought
guiltiness upon us.
“What is this you have done to us?” asked
Abimelech. “One of the people could easily have
slept with your wife,
and you would have brought guilt upon us.”
And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
Then Isaac
sowed in that land,
and received in the same year an
hundredfold:
and the LORD blessed him.
And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:
and he became richer and richer, until he was exceedingly wealthy.
For he had possession of flocks,
and possession of herds,
and great store of servants:
and the Philistines
envied him.
He owned so many flocks
and herds
and servants that the Philistines
envied him.
For all the wells which his father’s servants had
digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them,
and filled them with earth.
So the Philistines took
dirt and stopped up all the wells that his father’s servants had
dug in the days of his father Abraham.
And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.
Then
Abimelech said to Isaac, “Depart from us, for you are much too powerful for us.”
And Isaac departed thence,
and pitched his tent in the valley of
Gerar,
and dwelt there.
So Isaac left that place
and encamped in the Valley of
Gerar and settled there.
And Isaac
digged again the wells of water, which they had
digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham:
and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
Isaac reopened the wells that had been
dug in the days of his father Abraham, which the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham died.
And he gave these wells the same names his father had given them.
And Isaac’s servants
digged in the valley,
and found there a well of springing water.
Then Isaac’s servants
dug in the valley
and found a well of fresh water there.
And the herdmen of
Gerar did
strive with Isaac’s herdmen, saying, The water is ours:
and he called the name of the well Esek; because they
strove with him.
But the herdsmen of
Gerar quarreled with Isaac’s herdsmen
and said, “The water is ours!” So he named the well Esek, because they
contended with him.
And they
digged another well,
and strove for that also:
and he called the name of it Sitnah.
Then they
dug another well
and quarreled over that one also; so he named it Sitnah.
And he removed from thence,
and digged another well;
and for that they
strove not:
and he called the name of it Rehoboth;
and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us,
and we shall be fruitful in the land.
He moved on from there
and dug another well,
and they did not quarrel over it. He named it Rehoboth
and said, “At last the LORD has made room for us,
and we will be fruitful in the land.”
And he went up from thence to Beer-
sheba.
And the LORD appeared unto him the same night,
and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee,
and will
bless thee,
and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham’s sake.
and that night the LORD appeared to him
and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will
bless you
and multiply your descendants for the sake of My servant Abraham.”
And he builded an altar there,
and called upon the name of the LORD
and pitched his tent there:
and there Isaac’s servants
digged a well.
So Isaac built an altar there
and called on the name of the LORD,
and he pitched his tent there. His servants also
dug a well there.
Then
Abimelech went to him from
Gerar,
and Ahuzzath one of his friends,
and Phichol the chief captain of his army.
Later,
Abimelech came to Isaac from
Gerar, with Ahuzzath his
adviser and Phicol the commander of his army.
And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye
hate me,
and have sent me away from you?
“Why have you come to me?” Isaac asked them. “You
hated me
and sent me away.”
And they said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with thee:
and we said, Let there be now an oath
betwixt us, even
betwixt us
and thee,
and let us make a covenant with thee;
“We can plainly see that the LORD has been with you,” they replied. “We
recommend that there should now be an oath between us
and you. Let us make a covenant with you
That thou
wilt do us no
hurt, as we have not touched thee,
and as we have done unto thee nothing but good,
and have sent thee away in peace: thou art now the blessed of the LORD.
that you will not
harm us, just as we have not
harmed you but have done only good to you, sending you on your way in peace.
And now you are blessed by the LORD.”
And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.
So Isaac prepared a feast for them,
and they
ate and drank.
And they rose up
betimes in the morning,
and sware one to another:
and Isaac sent them away,
and they departed from him in peace.
And they got up early the next morning
and swore an oath to each other. Then Isaac sent them on their way,
and they left him in peace.
And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac’s servants came,
and told him concerning the well which they had
digged,
and said unto him, We have found water.
On that same day, Isaac’s servants came
and told him about the well they had
dug. “We have found water!” they told him.
And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is Beer-
sheba unto this day.
So he called it Shibah,
and to this day the name of the city is
Beersheba.
And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife
Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite,
and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:
When
Esau was forty years old, he took as his wives
Judith daughter of Beeri the Hittite
and Basemath daughter of Elon the Hittite.
