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
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.
[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 Padan-aram 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 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;
[7] And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to
Padan-aram;
[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 Beer-sheba, 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.---
