bes@Genesis:25:19 @ And these are the generations of Isaac the son of Abraam.

bes@Genesis:25:20 @ Abraam begot Isaac. And Isaac was forty years old when he took to wife Rebecca, daughter of Bathuel the Syrian, out of Syrian Mesopotamia, sister of Laban the Syrian.

bes@Genesis:25:21 @ And Isaac prayed the Lord concerning Rebecca his wife, because she was barren; and the Lord heard him, and his wife Rebecca conceived in her womb.

bes@Genesis:25:22 @ And the babes leaped within her; and she said, If it will be so with me, why is this to me? And she went to enquire of the Lord.

bes@Genesis:25:23 @ And the Lord said to her, There are two nations in thy womb, and two peoples shall be separated from thy belly, and one people shall excel the other, and the (note:)Gr. the greater shall serve the less; Ro strkjv@9:12(:note) elder shall serve the younger.

bes@Genesis:25:24 @ And the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered, and she had twins in her womb.

bes@Genesis:25:25 @ And the first came out red, hairy all over like a skin; and she called his name Esau.

bes@Genesis:25:26 @ And after this came forth his brother, and his hand took hold of the heel of Esau; and she called his name Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when Rebecca bore them.

bes@Genesis:25:27 @ And the lads grew, and Esau was a man skilled in hunting, dwelling in the country, and Jacob a simple man, dwelling in a house.

bes@Genesis:25:28 @ And Isaac loved Esau, because his venison was his food, but Rebecca loved Jacob.

bes@Genesis:25:29 @ And Jacob cooked pottage, and Esau came from the plain, fainting.

bes@Genesis:25:30 @ And Esau said to Jacob, Let me taste of that red pottage, because I am fainting; therefore his name was called Edom.

bes@Genesis:25:31 @ And Jacob said to Esau, Sell me this day thy birthright.

bes@Genesis:25:32 @ And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die, and for what good does this birthright belong to me?

bes@Genesis:25:33 @ And Jacob said to him, Swear to me this day; and he swore to him; and Esau sold his birthright to Jacob.

bes@Genesis:25:34 @ And Jacob gave bread to Esau, and pottage of lentiles; and he ate and drank, and he arose and departed; so Esau slighted his birthright.

bes@Genesis:26:1 @ And there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine, which was in the time of Abraam; and Isaac went to Abimelech the king of the Phylistines to Gerara.

bes@Genesis:26:2 @ And the Lord appeared to him and said, Go not down to Egypt, but dwell in the land, which I shall tell thee of.

bes@Genesis:26:3 @ And sojourn in this land; and I will be with thee, and bless thee, for I will give to thee and to thy seed all this land; and I will establish my oath which I swore to thy father Abraam.

bes@Genesis:26:4 @ And I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven; and I will give to thy seed all this land, and all the nations of the earth shall be blest in thy seed.

bes@Genesis:26:5 @ Because Abraam thy father hearkened to my voice, and kept my injunctions, and my commandments, and my ordinances, and my statutes.

bes@Genesis:26:6 @ And Isaac dwelt in Gerara.

bes@Genesis:26:7 @ And the men of the place questioned him concerning Rebecca his wife, and he said, She is my sister, for he feared to say, She is my wife, lest at any time the men of the place should slay him because of Rebecca, because she was (note:)Gr. fair of countenance(:note) fair.

bes@Genesis:26:8 @ And he remained there a long time, and Abimelech the king of Gerara leaned to look through the window, and saw Isaac sporting with Rebecca his wife.

bes@Genesis:26:9 @ And Abimelech called Isaac, and said to him, Is she then thy wife? why hast thou said, She is my sister? And Isaac said to him, I did so, for I said, Lest at any time I die on her account.

bes@Genesis:26:10 @ And Abimelech said to him, Why hast thou done this to us? one of my kindred (note:)q. d. had almost(:note) within a little had lain with thy wife, and thou wouldest have brought a sin of ignorance upon us.

bes@Genesis:26:11 @ And Abimelech charged all his people, saying Every man that touches this man and his wife shall be liable to death.

bes@Genesis:26:12 @ And Isaac sowed in that land, and he found in that year barley and hundred-fold, and the Lord blessed him.

bes@Genesis:26:13 @ And the man was exalted, and advancing he increased, till he became very great.

bes@Genesis:26:14 @ And he had cattle of sheep, and cattle of oxen, and many tilled lands, and the Phylistines envied him.

bes@Genesis:26:15 @ And all the wells which the servants of his father had dug in the time of his father, the Phylistines stopped them, and filled them with earth.

bes@Genesis:26:16 @ And Abimelech said to Isaac, Depart from us, for thou art become much mightier than we.

bes@Genesis:26:17 @ And Isaac departed thence, and rested in the valley of Gerara, and dwelt there.

bes@Genesis:26:18 @ And Isaac dug again the wells of water, which the servants of his father Abraam had dug, and the Phylistines had stopped them, after the death of his father Abraam; and he gave them names, according to the names by which his father named them.

bes@Genesis:26:19 @ And the servants of Isaac dug in the valley of Gerara, and they found there a well of living water.

bes@Genesis:26:20 @ And the shepherds of Gerara strove with the shepherds of Isaac, saying that the water was theirs; and they called the name of the well, Injury, for they injured him.

bes@Genesis:26:21 @ And having departed thence he dug another well, and they strove also for that; and he named the name of it, Enmity.

bes@Genesis:26:22 @ And he departed thence and dug another well; and they did not strive about that; and he named the name of it, Room, saying, Because now the Lord has made room for us, and has increased us upon the earth.

bes@Genesis:26:23 @ And he went up thence to the well of the oath.

bes@Genesis:26:24 @ And the Lord appeared to him in that night, and said, I am the God of Abraam thy father; fear not, for I am with thee, and I will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for the sake of Abraam thy father.

bes@Genesis:26:25 @ And he built there an altar, and called on the name of the Lord, and there he pitched his tent, and there the servants of Isaac dug a well in the valley of Gerara.

bes@Genesis:26:26 @ And Abimelech came to him from Gerara, and so did Ochozath his (note:)Gr. numfagwgov; q. d. he that gives away in marriage(:note) friend, and Phichol the commander-in-chief of his army.

bes@Genesis:26:27 @ And Isaac said to them, Wherefore have ye come to me? whereas ye hated me, and sent me away from you.

bes@Genesis:26:28 @ And they said, We have surely seen that the Lord was with thee, and we said, Let there be an oath between us and thee, and we will make a covenant with thee,

bes@Genesis:26:29 @ that thou shalt do no wrong by us, as we have not abhorred thee, and according as we have treated thee well, and have sent thee forth peaceably; and now thou art blessed of the Lord.

bes@Genesis:26:30 @ And he made a feast for them, and they ate and drank.

bes@Genesis:26:31 @ And they arose in the morning, and swore each to his neighbour; and Isaac sent them forth, and they departed from him in safety.

bes@Genesis:26:32 @ And it came to pass in that day, that the servants of Isaac came and told him of the well which they had dug; and they said, We have not found water.

bes@Genesis:26:33 @ And he called it, Oath: therefore he called the name of that city, the Well of Oath, until this day.

bes@Genesis:26:34 @ And Esau was forty years old; and he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beoch the Chettite, and Basemath, daughter of Helon the (note:)Alex. Hivite(:note) Chettite.

bes@Genesis:26:35 @ And they were provoking to Isaac and Rebecca.

bes@Genesis:27:1 @ And it came to pass after Isaac was old, that his eyes were dimmed so that he could not see; and he called Esau, his elder son, and said to him, My son; and he said, Behold, I am here.

bes@Genesis:27:2 @ And he said, Behold, I am grown old, and know not the day of my death.

bes@Genesis:27:3 @ Now then take the weapons, both thy quiver and thy bow, and go into the plain, and get me venison,

bes@Genesis:27:4 @ and make me meats, as I like them, and bring them to me that I may eat, that my soul may bless thee, before I die.

bes@Genesis:27:5 @ And Rebecca heard Isaac speaking to Esau his son; and Esau went to the plain to procure venison for his father.

bes@Genesis:27:6 @ And Rebecca said to Jacob her younger son, Behold, I heard thy father speaking to Esau thy brother, saying,

bes@Genesis:27:7 @ Bring me venison, and prepare me meats, that I may eat and bless thee before the Lord before I die.

bes@Genesis:27:8 @ Now then, my son, hearken to me, as I command thee.

bes@Genesis:27:9 @ And go to the cattle and take for me thence two kids, tender and good, and I will make them meats for thy father, as he likes.

bes@Genesis:27:10 @ And thou shalt bring them in to thy father, and he shall eat, that thy father may bless thee before he dies.

bes@Genesis:27:11 @ And Jacob said to his mother Rebecca, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I a smooth man.

bes@Genesis:27:12 @ Peradventure my father may feel me, and I shall be before him as one ill-intentioned, and I shall bring upon me a curse, and not a blessing.

bes@Genesis:27:13 @ And his mother said to him, On me be thy curse, son; only hearken to my voice, and go and bring them me.

bes@Genesis:27:14 @ So he went and took and brought them to his mother; and his mother made meats, as his father liked them.

bes@Genesis:27:15 @ And Rebecca having taken the fine raiment of her elder son Esau which was with her in the house, put it on Jacob her younger son.

bes@Genesis:27:16 @ And she put on his arms the skins of the kids, and on the bare parts of his neck.

bes@Genesis:27:17 @ And she gave the meats, and the loaves which she had prepared, into the hands of Jacob her son.

bes@Genesis:27:18 @ And he brought them to his father, and said, Father; and he said, Behold I am here; who art thou, son?

bes@Genesis:27:19 @ And Jacob said to his father, I, Esau thy first-born, have done as thou toldest me; rise, sit, and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.

bes@Genesis:27:20 @ And Isaac said to his son, What is this which thou hast quickly found? And he said, That which the Lord thy God presented before me.

bes@Genesis:27:21 @ And Isaac said to Jacob, Draw night to me, and I will feel thee, son, if thou art my son Esau or not.

bes@Genesis:27:22 @ And Jacob drew night to his father Isaac, and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.

bes@Genesis:27:23 @ And he knew him not, for his hands were as the hands of his brother Esau, hairy; and he blessed him,

bes@Genesis:27:24 @ and he said, Art thou my son Esau? and he said, I am.

bes@Genesis:27:25 @ And he said, Bring hither, and I will eat of thy venison, son, that my soul may bless thee; and he brought it near to him, and he ate, and he brought him wine, and he drank.

bes@Genesis:27:26 @ And Isaac his father said to him, Draw nigh to me, and kiss me, son.

bes@Genesis:27:27 @ And he drew nigh and kissed him, and smelled the smell of his garments, and blessed him, and said, Behold, the smell of my son is as the smell of an abundant field, which the Lord has blessed.

bes@Genesis:27:28 @ And may God give thee of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, and abundance of corn and wine.

bes@Genesis:27:29 @ And let nations serve thee, and princes bow down to thee, and be thou lord of thy brother, and the sons of thy father shall do thee reverence; accursed is he that curses thee, and blessed is he that blesses thee.

bes@Genesis:27:30 @ And it came to pass after Isaac had ceased blessing his son Jacob, it even came to pass, just when Jacob had gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.

bes@Genesis:27:31 @ And he also had made meats and brought them to his father; and he said to his father, Let my father arise and eat of his son’s venison, that thy soul may bless me.

bes@Genesis:27:32 @ And Isaac his father said to him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy first-born son Esau.

bes@Genesis:27:33 @ And Isaac was amazed with very great amazement, and said, Who then is it that has procured venison for me and brought it to me? and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and I have blessed him, and he shall be blessed.

bes@Genesis:27:34 @ And it came to pass when Esau heard the words of his father Isaac, he cried out with a great and very bitter cry, and said, Bless, I pray thee, me also, father.

bes@Genesis:27:35 @ And he said to him, Thy brother has come with subtlety, and taken thy blessing.

bes@Genesis:27:36 @ And he said, Rightly was his name called Jacob, for lo! this second time has he supplanted me; he has both taken my birthright, and now he has taken my blessing; and Esau said to his father, Hast thou not left a blessing for me, father?

bes@Genesis:27:37 @ And Isaac answered and said to Esau, If I have made him thy lord, and have made all his brethren his servants, and have strengthened him with corn and wine, what then shall I do for thee, son?

bes@Genesis:27:38 @ And Esau said to his father, Hast thou only one blessing, father? Bless, I pray thee, me also, father. And (note:)Hebrews.—Isaac being troubled(:note) Isaac being troubled, Esau cried aloud and wept.

bes@Genesis:27:39 @ And Isaac his father answered and said to him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be of the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above.

bes@Genesis:27:40 @ And thou shalt live by thy sword, and shalt serve thy brother; and there shall be a time when thou shalt break and loosen his yoke from off thy neck.
