25:19And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham begot Isaac. Compare
25:20And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramaean of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramaean, to be his wife. Compare
25:21And Isaac entreated Jehovah for his wife because she was barren. And Jehovah was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. Compare
25:22And the children struggled with each other within her. And she said, If it is so, why am I like this? And she went to inquire of Jehovah. Compare
25:23And Jehovah said to her, Two nations are in your womb, / And two peoples shall be separated from your bowels. / And the one people shall be stronger than the other people. / And the older shall serve the younger. Compare
25:24And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. Compare
25:25And the first came forth red, all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. Compare
25:26And after that his brother came forth, and his hand was holding on to Esau's heel, so his name was called Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them. Compare
25:27And when the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was a quiet man, dwelling in tents. Compare
25:28Now Isaac loved Esau because he had a taste for game, but Rebekah loved Jacob. Compare
25:29And Jacob cooked a stew. And Esau came in from the field, and he was faint. Compare
25:30And Esau said to Jacob, Let me swallow down some of the red stew, that red stew there, for I am faint. Therefore his name was called Edom. Compare
25:31And Jacob said, First sell me your birthright. Compare
25:32And Esau said, I am now about to die. Of what use then is this birthright to me? Compare
25:33And Jacob said, First swear to me. And he swore to him and sold his birthright to Jacob. Compare
25:34And Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew, and he ate and drank and rose up and went away. Thus Esau despised his birthright. Compare
26:1And there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine that had occurred in the days of Abraham. So Isaac went to Abimelech the king of the Philistines at Gerar. Compare
26:2And Jehovah appeared to him and said, Do not go down to Egypt; dwell in the land of which I will tell you. Compare
26:3Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you and will bless you; for to you and to your seed I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to Abraham your father. Compare
26:4And I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven and will give to your seed all these lands; and in your seed all the nations of the earth will be blessed, Compare
26:5Because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws. Compare
26:6So Isaac dwelt in Gerar. Compare
26:7And the men of the place asked about his wife. And he said, She is my sister, for he was afraid to say, My wife, thinking, The men of this place might slay me on account of Rebekah, because she is beautiful in appearance. Compare
26:8And when he had been there a long time, Abimelech the king of the Philistines looked out through his window and saw, and there was Isaac playfully caressing Rebekah his wife. Compare
26:9And Abimelech called Isaac and said, So she is indeed your wife. How then did you say, She is my sister? And Isaac said to him, Because I thought I might die on account of her. Compare
26:10And Abimelech said, What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us. Compare
26:11And Abimelech charged all the people, saying, He who touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death. Compare
26:12And Isaac sowed in that land and gained in the same year a hundredfold. And Jehovah blessed him, Compare
26:13And the man became rich and continued to grow richer until he became very rich. Compare
26:14And he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a great household, so that the Philistines envied him. Compare
26:15Now all the wells which his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father the Philistines had stopped up and filled with earth. Compare
26:16And Abimelech said to Isaac, Go away from us, for you are much mightier than we. Compare
26:17So Isaac went away from there and camped in the valley of Gerar and dwelt there. Compare
26:18And Isaac dug again the wells of water which had been dug in the days of Abraham his father and which the Philistines had stopped up after the death of Abraham; and he called them by the same names which his father had given them. Compare
26:19And Isaac's servants dug in the valley and found there a well of springing water. Compare
26:20And the shepherds of Gerar strove with Isaac's shepherds, saying, The water is ours. So he called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him. Compare
26:21And they dug another well; and they strove over that also, so he called the name of it Sitnah. Compare
26:22And he moved away from there and dug another well, but they did not strive over it, so he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, Now Jehovah has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land. Compare
26:23And he went up from there to Beer-sheba. Compare
26:24And Jehovah appeared to him the same night and said, I am the God of Abraham your father. Do not be afraid, for I am with you, and I will bless you and multiply your seed for My servant Abraham's sake. Compare
26:25And he built an altar there and called upon the name of Jehovah and pitched his tent there. And there Isaac's servants dug a well. Compare
26:26And Abimelech came to him from Gerar with Ahuzzath his adviser and Phicol the captain of his army. Compare
26:27And Isaac said to them, Why have you come to me, since you hate me and have sent me away from you? Compare
26:28And they said, We see plainly that Jehovah is with you; so we say, Let there now be an oath between us, even between us and you, and let us make a covenant with you, Compare
26:29That you will not do us any harm, just as we have not touched you, and just as we have done to you nothing but good and have sent you away in peace. You are now the blessed of Jehovah. Compare
26:30And he made them a feast, and they ate and drank. Compare
26:31And they rose up early in the morning and swore to one another. And Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace. Compare
26:32And the same day Isaac's servants came and told him about the well which they had dug and said to him, We have found water. Compare
26:33And he called it Shibah. Therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba to this day. Compare
26:34Now when Esau was forty years old, he took as wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite. Compare
26:35And they caused bitterness of spirit to Isaac and to Rebekah. Compare
27:1Now when Isaac was old, and his eyes had become so dim that he could not see, he called Esau his older son and said to him, My son. And he said to him, Here I am. Compare
27:2And he said, Behold now, I am old, and I do not know the day of my death. Compare
27:3Now then, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and hunt game for me, Compare
27:4And prepare for me a tasty meal, such as I love, and bring it to me to eat, so that I may bless you before I die. Compare
27:5Now Rebekah had been listening when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. So when Esau went to the field to hunt for game to bring it home, Compare
27:6Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, I just heard your father speaking to Esau your brother, saying, Compare
27:7Bring me game, and prepare for me a tasty meal so that I may eat it and bless you before Jehovah before my death. Compare
27:8Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you. Compare
27:9Go now to the flock, and take two choice kids for me from there, and I will prepare them as a tasty meal for your father, such as he loves. Compare
27:10Then you shall bring it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before his death. Compare
27:11And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man. Compare
27:12Perhaps my father will feel me, and I will be as a deceiver in his sight, and I will bring upon myself a curse and not a blessing. Compare
27:13And his mother said to him, Your curse be on me, my son; only obey my voice, and go, get them for me. Compare
27:14And he went and got them and brought them to his mother; and his mother prepared a tasty meal, such as his father loved. Compare
27:15And Rebekah took the best clothes of Esau her older son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son. Compare
27:16And she put the skins of the kids on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck. Compare
27:17And she put the tasty meal and the bread that she had prepared into the hand of Jacob her son. Compare
27:18And he came to his father and said, My father. And he said, Here I am. Who are you, my son? Compare
27:19And Jacob said to his father, I am Esau your firstborn; I have done as you told me. Now rise up; sit up and eat some of my game, so that you may bless me. Compare
27:20And Isaac said to his son, How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because Jehovah your God put it in my way. Compare
27:21And Isaac said to Jacob, Please come near that I may feel you, my son, to know whether you are really my son Esau or not. Compare
27:22And Jacob came near to Isaac his father. And he felt him and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are Esau's hands. Compare
27:23And he did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau's hands; so he blessed him. Compare
27:24And he said, Are you really my son Esau? And he said, I am. Compare
27:25And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's game, that I may bless you. So he brought it near to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank. Compare
27:26Then his father Isaac said to him, Please come near and kiss me, my son. Compare
