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

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.
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,
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 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.
Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to
Rebekah.
And
they brought grief to Isaac and
Rebekah.
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.”
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.”
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 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 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 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, 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.
