thence.

Gerar, and dwelt there.
So Isaac left that place and
encamped in the Valley of
Gerar and settled there.
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 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 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.

tasty dish that I love and bring it to me to eat, so that I may
bless you before I die.”
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 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 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 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 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 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
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
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.”
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?”
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.

aram, to the house of your mother’s father
Bethuel, and take a wife from among the daughters of
Laban, your mother’s brother.
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,”

Esau unto
Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of

Ishmael, in addition to the wives he already had.
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,

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,
So that I come again to my father’s house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God:
so that I may return safely to my father’s house, then the LORD will be my God.

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 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.”

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 she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing.
And once more she conceived and gave birth to a son and said, “This time I will praise the LORD.” So she named him Judah. Then Leah stopped having children.
And she said, Behold my
maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees that I may also have children by her.

And
Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name

Naphtali.
And Leah said, A
troop cometh: and she called his name
Gad.
Then Leah said, “How fortunate!” So she named him
Gad.
And
Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah.

Now during the wheat harvest,
Reuben went out and found some mandrakes in the field. When he brought them to his mother,
Rachel begged Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”
And Leah said, God hath given me my
hire, because I have given my
maiden to my husband: and she called his name
Issachar.

maidservant to my husband.” So she named him
Issachar.

thence all the
speckled and
spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the
spotted and
speckled among the goats: and of such shall be my
hire.
Let me go through all your flocks
today and remove from them every
speckled or
spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb, and every
spotted or
speckled goat. These will be my wages.
And he set three days journey
betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of
Laban’s flocks.
Then he put a three-day journey between himself and Jacob, while Jacob was
shepherding the rest of
Laban’s flocks.
And he set the rods which he had
pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.
Then he set the
peeled branches in the watering troughs in front of the flocks coming in to drink. So when the flocks were in heat and came to drink,
And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the
ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock of
Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto
Laban’s cattle.
Jacob set apart the young, but made the rest face the
streaked dark-colored sheep in
Laban’s flocks.
Then he set his own stock apart and did not put them with
Laban’s animals.
And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.
Then the LORD said to Jacob, “Go back to the land of your fathers and to your kindred, and I will be with you.”
If he said, ‘The
speckled will be your wages,’
then the whole flock bore
speckled offspring. If he said, ‘The
streaked will be your wages,’
then the whole flock bore
streaked offspring.
For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is ours, and our children’s: now
then,
whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do.
Surely all the wealth that God has taken away from our father belongs to us and to our children. So do whatever God has told you.”
Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels;
Then Jacob got up and put his children and his wives on camels,
Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount: and
Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of
Gilead.
Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country of
Gilead when
Laban overtook him, and
Laban and his relatives camped there as well.
And
Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast
stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as
captives taken with the sword?
Then Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done? You have
deceived me and carried off my daughters like
captives of war!
And
Laban went into Jacob’s tent, and into Leah’s tent, and into the two maidservants’ tents; but he found them not.
Then went he out of Leah’s tent, and entered into
Rachel’s tent.
So
Laban went into Jacob’s tent,
then Leah’s tent, and
then the tents of the two maidservants, but he found nothing.
Then he left Leah’s tent and entered
Rachel’s tent.
And Jacob was
wroth, and
chode with
Laban: and Jacob answered and said to
Laban, What is my
trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me?
Then Jacob became incensed and
challenged Laban. “What is my crime?” he said. “For what sin of mine have you so hotly pursued me?
And
Laban said, This
heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed;

prosper,’
Then thou shalt say, They be thy servant Jacob’s; it is a present sent unto my lord
Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us.
then you are to say, ‘They belong to your servant Jacob. They are a gift, sent to my lord
Esau. And behold, Jacob is behind us.’”
And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou
bless me.
Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is
daybreak.” But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you
bless me.”
And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men, and you have prevailed.”
And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou
dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
And Jacob requested, “Please tell me your name.” But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed Jacob there.
Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.

Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
Leah and her children also approached and bowed down, and
then Joseph and
Rachel approached and bowed down.
And Jacob said,
Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight,
then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou
wast pleased with me.
But Jacob insisted, “No, please! If I have found favor in your sight,
then receive this gift from my hand. For indeed, I have seen your face, and it is like seeing the face of God, since you have received me
favorably.
And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.

ahead of you.”

Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give.
Then Shechem said to Dinah’s father and brothers, “Grant me this favor, and I will give you whatever you ask.
Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
Then we will give you our daughters and take your daughters for ourselves. We will dwell among you and become one people.
But if ye will not
hearken unto us, to be
circumcised;
then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.
But if you will not agree to be
circumcised,
then we will take our sister and go.”
And Jacob said to
Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to make me to
stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the
Canaanites and the
Perizzites: and I being few in number, they shall gather themselves together against me, and
slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.
Then Jacob said to
Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble upon me by making me a
stench to the
Canaanites and
Perizzites, the people of this land. We are few in number; if they unite against me and attack me, I and my household will be destroyed.”
And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to
Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of
Esau thy brother.
Then God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to
Bethel, and settle there. Build an altar there to the God who appeared to you when you fled from your brother
Esau.”
Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments:
So Jacob told his household and all who were with him, “Get rid of the foreign gods that are among you.
Purify yourselves and change your garments.
And let us arise, and go up to
Bethel; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.
Then let us arise and go to
Bethel. I will build an altar there to God, who answered me in my day of distress. He has been with me wherever I have gone.”
