Genesis 27
1 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.
2 And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:
3 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me
some
venison;
4 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.
5 And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt
for venison, and to
bring
it.
6 And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,
7 Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the LORD before my death.
8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee.
9 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:
10 And thou shalt bring
it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death.
11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother
is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:
12 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.
13 And his mother said unto him, Upon me
be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.
14 And he went, and fetched, and brought
them to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his
father loved.
15 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:
16 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:
17 And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
18 And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here
am I; who art thou, my son?
19 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.
20 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.
21 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.
22 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.
23 And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him.
24 And he said,
Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am.
25 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.
26 And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.
27 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:
28 Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
29 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.
30 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.
31 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.
32 And Isaac his father said unto him, Who
art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn Esau.
33 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.
34 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.
35 And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken away thy blessing.
36 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?
37 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?
38 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.
39 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;
40 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.
41 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.
42 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.
43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; and arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran;
44 And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's fury turn away;
45 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?
46 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?


Genesis 28


1 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.
2 Arise, go to Padanaram, 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.
3 And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of
people;
4 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.
5 And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padanaram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of
Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
6 When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padanaram, 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;
7 And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padanaram;
8 And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father;
9 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.
10 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
11 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.
12 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.
13 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;
14 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.
15 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.
16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew
it not.
17 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.
18 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.
19 And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city
was called Luz at the first.
20 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,
21 So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God:
22 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.


Genesis 29


1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.
2 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.
3 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.
4 And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence
be ye? And they said, Of Haran are we.
5 And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know
him.
6 And he said unto them,
Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the
sheep.
7 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.
8 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.
9 And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep: for she kept them.
10 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.
11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
12 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.
13 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.
14 And Laban said to him, Surely thou
art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.
15 And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou
art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell
me, what
shall thy wages be?
16 And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder
was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
17 Leah
was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured.
18 And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
19 And Laban said,
It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
20 And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him
but a few days, for the love he had to her.
21 And Jacob said unto Laban, Give
me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
23 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.
24 And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid
for an handmaid.
25 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?
26 And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
27 Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other
years.
28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.
29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.
30 And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven
other years.
31 And when the LORD saw that Leah
was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.
32 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.
33 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard that I
was hated, he hath
therefore given me this
son also: and she called his name Simeon.
34 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me,
because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.
35 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.
