27 : 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 . |
27 : 26 And his father Isaac said unto him , Come near now , and kiss me , my son . |
27 : 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 : 27 : 28 Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven , and the fatness of the earth , and plenty of corn and wine : 27 : 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 . |
27 : 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 . |
27 : 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 . |
27 : 32 And Isaac his father said unto him , Who art thou ? And he said , I am thy son , thy firstborn Esau . |
27 : 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 . |
27 : 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 . |
27 : 35 And he said , Thy brother came with subtilty , and hath taken away thy blessing . |
27 : 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 ? 27 : 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 ? 27 : 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 . |
27 : 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 ; 27 : 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 . |
27 : 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 . |
27 : 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 . |
27 : 43 Now therefore , my son , obey my voice ; arise , flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran ; 27 : 44 And tarry with him a few days , until thy brother ’ s fury turn away ; 27 : 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 ? 27 : 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 ? 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 . |
28 : 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 . |
28 : 3 And God Almighty bless thee , and make thee fruitful , and multiply thee , that thou mayest be a multitude of people ; 28 : 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 . |
28 : 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 . |
28 : 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 ; 28 : 7 And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother , and was gone to Padanaram ; 28 : 8 And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father ; 28 : 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 . |
28 : 10 And Jacob went out from Beersheba , and went toward Haran . |
28 : 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 . |
28 : 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 . |
28 : 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 ; 28 : 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 . |
28 : 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 . |
28 : 16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep , and he said , Surely the LORD is in this place ; and I knew it not . |
28 : 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 . |
28 : 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 . |
28 : 19 And he called the name of that place Bethel : but the name of that city was called Luz at the first . |
28 : 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 , 28 : 21 So that I come again to my father ’ s house in peace ; then shall the LORD be my God : 28 : 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 . |
29 : 1 Then Jacob went on his journey , and came into the land of the people of the east . |
29 : 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 . |
29 : 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 . |
29 : 4 And Jacob said unto them , My brethren , whence be ye ? And they said , Of Haran are we . |
29 : 5 And he said unto them , Know ye Laban the son of Nahor ? And they said , We know him . |
29 : 6 And he said unto them , Is he well ? And they said , He is well : and , behold , Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep . |
29 : 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 . |
29 : 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 . |
29 : 9 And while he yet spake with them , Rachel came with her father ’ s sheep ; for she kept them . |
29 : 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 . |
29 : 11 And Jacob kissed Rachel , and lifted up his voice , and wept . |
29 : 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 . |
29 : 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 . |
29 : 14 And Laban said to him , Surely thou art my bone and my flesh . And he abode with him the space of a month . |
29 : 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 ? 29 : 16 And Laban had two daughters : the name of the elder was Leah , and the name of the younger was Rachel . |
29 : 17 Leah was tender eyed ; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured . |
29 : 18 And Jacob loved Rachel ; and said , I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter . |
29 : 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 . |
29 : 20 And Jacob served seven years for Rachel ; and they seemed unto him but a few days , for the love he had to her . |
29 : 21 And Jacob said unto Laban , Give me my wife , for my days are fulfilled , that I may go in unto her . |
29 : 22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place , and made a feast . |
29 : 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 . |
29 : 24 And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid . |
29 : 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 ? |
29 : 26 And Laban said , It must not be so done in our country , to give the younger before the firstborn . |
29 : 27 Fulfil her week , and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years . |
29 : 28 And Jacob did so , and fulfilled her week : and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also . |
29 : 29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid . |
29 : 30 And he went in also unto Rachel , and he loved also Rachel more than Leah , and served with him yet seven other years . |
29 : 31 And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated , he opened her womb : but Rachel was barren . |
29 : 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 . |
29 : 33 And she conceived again , and bare a son ; and said , Because the LORD hath heard I was hated , he hath therefore given me this son also : and she called his name Simeon . |
29 : 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 . |
29 : 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 . |
30 : 1 And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children , Rachel envied her sister ; and said unto Jacob , Give me children , or else I die . |
30 : 2 And Jacob ’ s anger was kindled against Rachel : and he said , Am I in God ’ s stead , who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb ? |
30 : 3 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 . |
30 : 4 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife : and Jacob went in unto her . |
30 : 5 And Bilhah conceived , and bare Jacob a son . |
30 : 6 And Rachel said , God hath judged me , and hath also heard my voice , and hath given me a son : therefore called she his name Dan . |
30 : 7 And Bilhah Rachel ’ s maid conceived again , and bare Jacob a second son . |
30 : 8 And Rachel said , With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister , and I have prevailed : and she called his name Naphtali . |
30 : 9 When Leah saw that she had left bearing , she took Zilpah her maid , and gave her Jacob to wife . |
30 : 10 And Zilpah Leah ’ s maid bare Jacob a son . |
30 : 11 And Leah said , A troop cometh : and she called his name Gad . |
30 : 12 And Zilpah Leah ’ s maid bare Jacob a second son . |
30 : 13 And Leah said , Happy am I , for the daughters will call me blessed : and she called his name Asher . |
30 : 14 And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest , and found mandrakes in the field , and brought them unto his mother Leah . Then Rachel said to Leah , Give me , I pray thee , of thy son ’ s mandrakes . |
30 : 15 And she said unto her , Is it a small matter that thou hast taken my husband ? and wouldest thou take away my son ’ s mandrakes also ? And Rachel said , Therefore he shall lie with thee to night for thy son ’ s mandrakes . |
30 : 16 And Jacob came out of the field in the evening , and Leah went out to meet him , and said , Thou must come in unto me ; for surely I have hired thee with my son ’ s mandrakes . And he lay with her that night . |
30 : 17 And God hearkened unto Leah , and she conceived , and bare Jacob the fifth son . |
30 : 18 And Leah said , God hath given me my hire , because I have given my maiden to my husband : and she called his name Issachar . |
30 : 19 And Leah conceived again , and bare Jacob the sixth son . |
30 : 20 And Leah said , God hath endued me with a good dowry ; now will my husband dwell with me , because I have born him six sons : and she called his name Zebulun . |
30 : 21 And afterwards she bare a daughter , and called her name Dinah . |
30 : 22 And God remembered Rachel , and God hearkened to her , and opened her womb . |
30 : 23 And she conceived , and bare a son ; and said , God hath taken away my reproach : 30 : 24 And she called his name Joseph ; and said , The LORD shall add to me another son . |
30 : 25 And it came to pass , when Rachel had born Joseph , that Jacob said unto Laban , Send me away , that I may go unto mine own place , and to my country . |
30 : 26 Give me my wives and my children , for whom I have served thee , and let me go : for thou knowest my service which I have done thee . |
30 : 27 And Laban said unto him , I pray thee , if I have found favour in thine eyes , tarry : for I have learned by experience that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake . |
30 : 28 And he said , Appoint me thy wages , and I will give it . |
30 : 29 And he said unto him , Thou knowest how I have served thee , and how thy cattle was with me . |
30 : 30 For it was little which thou hadst before I came , and it is now increased unto a multitude ; and the LORD hath blessed thee since my coming : and now when shall I provide for mine own house also ? 30 : 31 And he said , What shall I give thee ? And Jacob said , Thou shalt not give me any thing : if thou wilt do this thing for me , I will again feed and keep thy flock . |
30 : 32 I will pass through all thy flock to day , removing from 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 . |
30 : 33 So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come , when it shall come for my hire before thy face : every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats , and brown among the sheep , that shall be counted stolen with me . |
30 : 34 And Laban said , Behold , I would it might be according to thy word . |
30 : 35 And he removed that day the he goats that were ringstraked and spotted , and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted , and every one that had some white in it , and all the brown among the sheep , and gave them into the hand of his sons . |
30 : 36 And he set three days ’ journey betwixt himself and Jacob : and Jacob fed the rest of Laban ’ s flocks . |
30 : 37 And Jacob took him rods of green poplar , and of the hazel and chestnut tree ; and pilled white strakes in them , and made the white appear which was in the rods . |
30 : 38 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 . |
30 : 39 And the flocks conceived before the rods , and brought forth cattle ringstraked , speckled , and spotted . |
30 : 40 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 . |
