Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac
and to
Rebekah.
And they brought grief to Isaac
and Rebekah.
And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old,
and his eyes were
dim, so that he could not see, he called
Esau his eldest son,
and said unto him, My son:
and he said unto him, Behold, here am I.
When Isaac was old
and his eyes were so weak that he could no longer see, he called his older son
Esau and said to him, “My son.” “Here I am,”
Esau replied.
And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:
“Look,” said Isaac, “I am now old, and I do not know the day of my death.
Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy
quiver and thy bow,
and go out to the field,
and take me some
venison;
Take your weapons—your
quiver and bow—
and go out into the field to
hunt some game for me.
And make me savoury meat, such as I love,
and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may
bless thee before I die.
Then prepare a
tasty dish that I love
and bring it to me to eat, so that I may
bless you before I die.”
And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto
Esau thy brother, saying,
Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “Behold, I overheard your father saying to your brother
Esau,
Bring me
venison,
and make me savoury meat, that I may eat,
and bless thee before the LORD before my death.
‘Bring me some game
and prepare me a
tasty dish to eat, so that I may
bless you in the presence of the LORD before I die.’
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee.
Now, my son,
listen to my voice
and do exactly as I tell you.
Go now to the flock,
and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats;
and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth:
Go out to the flock
and bring me two choice young goats, so that I can make them into a
tasty dish for your father—the kind he loves.
And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat,
and that he may
bless thee before his death.
Then take it to your father to eat, so that he may
bless you before he dies.”
And Jacob said to
Rebekah his mother, Behold,
Esau my brother is a
hairy man,
and I am a smooth man:
My father
peradventure will feel me,
and I shall seem to him as a
deceiver;
and I shall bring a
curse upon me,
and not a blessing.
What if my father touches me? Then I would be revealed to him as a
deceiver,
and I would bring upon myself a
curse rather than a blessing.”
And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy
curse, my son: only obey my voice,
and go
fetch me them.
His mother replied, “Your
curse be on me, my son. Just obey my voice
and go get them for me.”
And he went,
and fetched,
and brought them to his mother:
and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.
So Jacob went
and got two goats
and brought them to his mother, who made the
tasty food his father loved.
And Rebekah took goodly
raiment of her eldest son
Esau, which were with her in the house,
and put them upon Jacob her younger son:
And Rebekah took the finest clothes in the house that belonged to her older son
Esau,
and she put them on her younger son Jacob.
And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:
She also put the skins of the young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.
And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
Then she handed her son Jacob the
tasty food
and bread she had made.
And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son?
So Jacob went to his father and said, “My father.” “Here I am!” he answered. “Which one are you, my son?”
And Jacob said unto his father, I am
Esau thy
firstborn; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit
and eat of my
venison, that thy soul may
bless me.
Jacob said to his father, “I am
Esau, your
firstborn. I have done as you told me. Please sit up
and eat some of my game, so that you may
bless me.”
And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought it to me.
But Isaac asked his son, “How did you ever find it so quickly, my son?” “Because the LORD your God brought it to me,” he replied.
And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son
Esau or not.
Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come closer so I can touch you, my son. Are you really my son
Esau, or not?”
And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father;
and he felt him,
and said, The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of
Esau.
So Jacob came close to his father Isaac, who touched him
and said, “The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of
Esau.”
And he
discerned him not, because his hands were
hairy, as his brother
Esau’s hands: so he blessed him.
Isaac did not recognize him, because his hands were
hairy like those of his brother
Esau; so he blessed him.
And he said, Art thou my very son
Esau?
And he said, I am.
Again he asked, “Are you really my son
Esau?”
And he replied, “I am.”
And he said, Bring it near to me,
and I will eat of my son’s
venison, that my soul may
bless thee.
And he brought it near to him,
and he did eat:
and he brought him wine,
and he
drank.
“Serve me,” said Isaac, “
and let me eat some of my son’s game, so that I may
bless you.” Jacob brought it to him,
and he
ate; then he brought him wine,
and he
drank.
And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now,
and kiss me, my son.
Then his father Isaac said to him, “Please come near
and kiss me, my son.”
And he came near,
and kissed him:
and he smelled the smell of his
raiment,
and blessed him,
and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed:
So he came near
and kissed him. When Isaac smelled his clothing, he blessed him
and said: “
Ah, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that the LORD has blessed.
Therefore God give thee of the
dew of heaven,
and the fatness of the earth,
and plenty of corn
and wine:
May God give to you the
dew of heaven
and the richness of the earth— an abundance of grain
and new wine.
Let people serve thee,
and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren,
and let thy mother’s sons bow down to thee:
cursed be every one that curseth thee,
and blessed be he that blesseth thee.
May peoples serve you
and nations bow down to you. May you be the master of your brothers,
and may the sons of your mother bow down to you. May those who
curse you be
cursed,
and those who
bless you be blessed.”
And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob,
and Jacob was yet
scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that
Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
As soon as Isaac had finished blessing him
and Jacob had left his father’s presence, his brother
Esau returned from the
hunt.
And he also had made savoury meat,
and brought it unto his father,
and said unto his father, Let my father arise,
and eat of his son’s
venison, that thy soul may
bless me.
He too made some
tasty food, brought it to his father,
and said to him, “My father, sit up
and eat of your son’s game, so that you may
bless me.”
And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou?
And he said, I am thy son, thy
firstborn Esau.
But his father Isaac replied, “Who are you?” “I am
Esau, your
firstborn son,” he answered.
And Isaac
trembled very exceedingly,
and said, Who? where is he that hath taken
venison,
and brought it me,
and I have eaten of all before thou camest,
and have blessed him?
yea,
and he shall be blessed.
Isaac began to
tremble violently
and said, “Who was it, then, who
hunted the game
and brought it to me? Before you came in, I
ate it all
and blessed him—
and indeed, he will be blessed!”
And when
Esau heard the words of his father, he
cried with a great
and exceeding bitter cry,
and said unto his father,
Bless me, even me also, O my father.
When
Esau heard his father’s words, he let out a loud
and bitter cry
and said to his father, “
Bless me too, O my father!”
And he said, Thy brother came with
subtilty,
and hath taken away thy blessing.
But Isaac replied, “Your brother came
deceitfully and took your blessing.”
And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath
supplanted me these two times: he took away my
birthright;
and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing.
And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?
So
Esau declared, “Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has
cheated me twice. He took my
birthright,
and now he has taken my blessing.” Then he asked, “
Haven’t you saved a blessing for me?”
And Isaac answered
and said unto
Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord,
and all his brethren have I given to him for servants;
and with corn
and wine have I sustained him:
and what shall I do now unto thee, my son?
But Isaac answered
Esau: “Look, I have made him your master
and given him all his relatives as servants; I have sustained him with grain
and new wine. What is left that I can do for you, my son?”
And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father?
bless me, even me also, O my father.
And Esau lifted up his voice,
and wept.
Esau said to his father, “Do you have only one blessing, my father?
Bless me too, O my father!” Then
Esau wept aloud.
And Isaac his father answered
and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth,
and of the
dew of heaven from above;
His father Isaac answered him: “Behold, your dwelling place shall be away from the richness of the land, away from the
dew of heaven above.
And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.
You shall live by the sword
and serve your brother. But when you
rebel, you will
tear his yoke from your neck.”
And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing
wherewith his father blessed him:
and Esau said in his heart, The days of
mourning for my father are at hand; then will I
slay my brother Jacob.
Esau held a
grudge against Jacob because of the blessing his father had given him.
And Esau said in his heart, “The days of
mourning for my father are at hand; then I will kill my brother Jacob.”
And these words of
Esau her elder son were told to
Rebekah:
and she sent
and called Jacob her younger son,
and said unto him, Behold, thy brother
Esau, as touching thee,
doth comfort himself, purposing to kill thee.
When the words of her older son
Esau were relayed to
Rebekah, she sent for her younger son Jacob
and told him, “Look, your brother
Esau is
consoling himself by
plotting to kill you.
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice;
and arise,
flee thou to
Laban my brother to
Haran;
So now, my son, obey my voice
and flee at once to my brother
Laban in
Haran.
And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother’s
fury turn away;
Stay with him for a while, until your brother’s
fury subsides—
Until thy brother’s anger turn away from thee,
and he
forget that which thou hast done to him: then I will send,
and fetch thee from thence: why should I be deprived also of you both in one day?
until your brother’s
rage against you wanes
and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send for you
and bring you back from there. Why should I lose both of you in one day?”
And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am
weary of my life because of the daughters of
Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of
Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?
Then
Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am
weary of my life because of these Hittite women. If Jacob takes a Hittite wife from among them, what good is my life?”
And Isaac called Jacob,
and blessed him,
and charged him,
and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of
Canaan.
So Isaac called for Jacob
and blessed him. “Do not take a wife from the
Canaanite women,” he commanded.
Arise, go to Padan-
aram, to the house of
Bethuel thy mother’s father;
and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of
Laban thy mother’s brother.
“Go at once to Paddan-
aram, to the house of your mother’s father
Bethuel,
and take a wife from among the daughters of
Laban, your mother’s brother.
And God
Almighty bless thee,
and make thee fruitful,
and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;
May God
Almighty bless you
and make you fruitful
and multiply you, so that you may become a company of peoples.
And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee,
and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest
inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.
And may He give the blessing of Abraham to you and your descendants, so that you may possess the land where you dwell as a foreigner, the land God gave to Abraham.”
When
Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob,
and sent him away to Padan-
aram, to take him a wife from thence;
and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of
Canaan;
Now
Esau learned that Isaac had blessed Jacob
and sent him to Paddan-
aram to take a wife there, commanding him, “Do not marry a
Canaanite woman,”
And that Jacob obeyed his father
and his mother,
and was gone to Padan-
aram;
and that Jacob had obeyed his father
and mother
and gone to Paddan-
aram.
And Esau seeing that the daughters of
Canaan pleased not Isaac his father;
And seeing that his father Isaac disapproved of the
Canaanite women,
Then went
Esau unto
Ishmael,
and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of
Ishmael Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife.
Esau went to
Ishmael and married Mahalath, the sister of Nebaioth
and daughter of Abraham’s son
Ishmael, in addition to the wives he already had.
And Jacob went out from Beer-
sheba,
and went toward
Haran.
And he lighted upon a certain place,
and tarried there all night, because the sun was set;
and he took of the stones of that place,
and put them for his
pillows,
and lay down in that place to sleep.
On reaching a certain place, he spent the night there because the sun had set. And taking one of the stones from that place, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep.
And he dreamed,
and behold a
ladder set up on the earth,
and the top of it reached to heaven:
and behold the angels of God ascending
and descending on it.
And Jacob had a dream about a
ladder that rested on the earth with its top reaching up to heaven,
and God’s angels were going up
and down the
ladder.
And, behold, the LORD stood above it,
and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father,
and the God of Isaac: the land
whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it,
and to thy seed;
And there at the top the LORD was standing and saying, “I am the LORD, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you now lie.
And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and east and north and south. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you and your offspring.
And, behold, I am with thee,
and will keep thee in all places
whither thou goest,
and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.
Look, I am with you, and I will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. For I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”
And Jacob
awaked out of his sleep,
and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place;
and I knew it not.
When Jacob
woke up, he thought, “Surely the LORD is in this place,
and I was unaware of it.”
And he was afraid,
and said, How
dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God,
and this is the gate of heaven.
And he was afraid
and said, “How
awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven!”
And Jacob rose up early in the morning,
and took the stone that he had put for his
pillows,
and set it up for a
pillar,
and poured oil upon the top of it.
Early the next morning, Jacob took the stone that he had placed under his head,
and he set it up as a
pillar. He poured oil on top of it,
And he called the name of that place
Bethel: but the name of that city was called
Luz at the first.
and he called that place
Bethel, though previously the city had been named
Luz.
And Jacob
vowed a
vow, saying, If God will be with me,
and will keep me in this way that I go,
and will give me bread to eat,
and raiment to put on,
Then Jacob made a
vow, saying, “If God will be with me
and watch over me on this journey,
and if He will provide me with food to eat
and clothes to wear,
And this stone, which I have set for a
pillar, shall be God’s house:
and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
And this stone I have set up as a
pillar will be God’s house,
and of all that You give me I will surely give You a tenth.”
Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.
Jacob resumed his journey and came to the land of the people of the east.
And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone was upon the well’s mouth.
He looked and saw a well in the field, and near it lay three flocks of sheep, because the sheep were watered from this well. And a large stone covered the mouth of the well.
And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well’s mouth in his place.
When all the flocks had been gathered there, the
shepherds would roll away the stone from the mouth of the well
and water the sheep. Then they would return the stone to its place over the mouth of the well.
And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye?
And they said, Of
Haran are we.
“My brothers,” Jacob asked the
shepherds, “where are you from?” “We are from
Haran,” they answered.
And he said unto them, Know ye
Laban the son of
Nahor?
And they said, We know him.
“Do you know
Laban the grandson of
Nahor?” Jacob asked. “We know him,” they replied.
And he said unto them, Is he well?
And they said, He is well:
and, behold,
Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.
“Is he well?” Jacob inquired. “
Yes,” they answered, “
and here comes his daughter
Rachel with his sheep.”
And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go and feed them.
“Look,” said Jacob, “it is still broad
daylight; it is not yet time to gather the
livestock. Water the sheep
and take them back to pasture.”
And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the well’s mouth; then we water the sheep.
But they replied, “We cannot, until all the flocks have been gathered and the stone has been rolled away from the mouth of the well. Then we will water the sheep.”
And while he yet spake with them,
Rachel came with her father’s sheep: for she kept them.
While he was still speaking with them,
Rachel arrived with her father’s sheep, for she was a
shepherdess.
And it came to pass, when Jacob saw
Rachel the daughter of
Laban his mother’s brother,
and the sheep of
Laban his mother’s brother, that Jacob went near,
and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth,
and watered the flock of
Laban his mother’s brother.
As soon as Jacob saw
Rachel, the daughter of his mother’s brother
Laban, with
Laban’s sheep, he went up
and rolled the stone away from the mouth of the well
and watered his uncle’s sheep.
And Jacob told
Rachel that he was her father’s brother,
and that he was
Rebekah’s son:
and she ran
and told her father.
He told
Rachel that he was
Rebekah’s son, a relative of her father,
and she ran
and told her father.
And it came to pass, when
Laban heard the
tidings of Jacob his sister’s son, that he ran to meet him,
and embraced him,
and kissed him,
and brought him to his house.
And he told
Laban all these things.
When
Laban heard the news about his sister’s son Jacob, he ran out to meet him. He embraced him
and kissed him
and brought him to his home, where Jacob told him all that had happened.
And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone
and my flesh.
And he abode with him the space of a month.
Then
Laban declared, “You are indeed my own flesh
and blood.” After Jacob had stayed with him a month,
And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for
nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be?
Laban said to him, “Just because you are my relative, should you work for nothing? Tell me what your wages should be.”
And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah,
and the name of the younger was
Rachel.
Now
Laban had two daughters; the older was named Leah,
and the younger was named
Rachel.
Leah was tender
eyed; but
Rachel was beautiful
and well favoured.
Leah had weak eyes, but
Rachel was shapely
and beautiful.
And Jacob loved
Rachel;
and said, I will serve thee seven years for
Rachel thy younger daughter.
Since Jacob loved
Rachel, he answered, “I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter
Rachel.”
And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man:
abide with me.
Laban replied, “Better that I give her to you than to another. Stay here with me.”
And Jacob served seven years for
Rachel;
and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.
So Jacob served seven years for
Rachel, yet it seemed but a few days because of his love for her.
And Jacob said unto
Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
Finally Jacob said to
Laban, “Grant me my wife, for my time is complete,
and I want to sleep with her.”
And Laban gathered together all the men of the place,
and made a feast.
So
Laban invited all the men of that place
and prepared a feast.
And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.
But when evening came,
Laban took his daughter Leah
and gave her to Jacob,
and he
slept with her.
And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah:
and he said to
Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for
Rachel? wherefore then hast thou
beguiled me?
When morning came, there was Leah! “What have you done to me?” Jacob said to
Laban. “Wasn’t it for
Rachel that I served you? Why have you
deceived me?”
And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the
firstborn.
Laban replied, “It is not our custom here to give the younger daughter in marriage before the older.
Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
Finish this week’s
celebration,
and we will give you the younger one in return for another seven years of work.”
And Jacob did so,
and fulfilled her week:
and he gave him
Rachel his daughter to wife also.
And Jacob did just that. He finished the week’s
celebration,
and Laban gave him his daughter
Rachel as his wife.
And he went in also unto
Rachel,
and he loved also
Rachel more than Leah,
and served with him yet seven other years.
Jacob
slept with
Rachel as well,
and indeed, he loved
Rachel more than Leah. So he worked for
Laban another seven years.
And when the LORD saw that Leah was
hated, he opened her
womb: but
Rachel was barren.
When the LORD saw that Leah was unloved, He opened her
womb; but
Rachel was barren.
And Leah conceived,
and bare a son,
and she called his name
Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my
affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.
And Leah conceived
and gave birth to a son,
and she named him
Reuben, for she said, “The LORD has seen my
affliction. Surely my husband will love me now.”
