Genesis 24
Genesis 24:1 Now Abraham was old and far on in years: and the Lord had given him everything in full measure.
Genesis 24:2 And Abraham said to his chief servant, the manager of all his property, Come now, put your hand under my leg:
Genesis 24:3 And take an oath by the Lord, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you will not get a wife for my son Isaac from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I am living;
Genesis 24:4 But that you will go into my country and to my relations and get a wife there for my son Isaac.
Genesis 24:5 And the servant said, If by chance the woman will not come with me into this land, am I to take your son back again to the land from which you came?
Genesis 24:6 And Abraham said, Take care that you do not let my son go back to that land.
Genesis 24:7 The Lord God of heaven, who took me from my father's house and from the land of my birth, and made an oath to me, saying, To your seed I will give this land: he will send his angel before you and give you a wife for my son in that land.
Genesis 24:8 And if the woman will not come with you, then you are free from this oath; only do not take my son back there.
Genesis 24:9 And the servant put his hand under Abraham's leg, and gave him his oath about this thing.
Genesis 24:10 And the servant took ten of his master's camels, and all sorts of good things of his master's, and went to Mesopotamia, to the town of Nahor.
Genesis 24:11 And he made the camels take their rest outside the town by the water-spring in the evening, at the time when the women came to get water.
Genesis 24:12 And he said, O Lord, the God of my master Abraham, let me do well in what I have undertaken this day, and give your mercy to my master Abraham.
Genesis 24:13 See, I am waiting here by the water-spring; and the daughters of the town are coming out to get water:
Genesis 24:14 Now, may the girl to whom I say, Let down your vessel and give me a drink, and who says in answer, Here is a drink for you and let me give water to your camels: may she be the one marked out by you for your servant Isaac: so may I be certain that you have been good to my master Abraham.
Genesis 24:15 And even before his words were ended, Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah, who was the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, came out with her water-vessel on her arm.
Genesis 24:16 She was a very beautiful girl, a virgin, who had never been touched by a man: and she went down to the spring to get water in her vessel.
Genesis 24:17 And the servant came running to her and said, Give me a little water from your vessel.
Genesis 24:18 And she said, Take a drink, my lord: and quickly letting down her vessel onto her hand, she gave him a drink.
Genesis 24:19 And having done so, she said, I will get water for your camels till they have had enough.
Genesis 24:20 And after putting the water from her vessel into the animals' drinking-place, she went quickly back to the spring and got water for all the camels.
Genesis 24:21 And the man, looking at her, said nothing, waiting to see if the Lord had given his journey a good outcome.
Genesis 24:22 And when the camels had had enough, the man took a gold nose-ring, half a shekel in weight, and two ornaments for her arms of ten shekels weight of gold;
Genesis 24:23 And said to her, Whose daughter are you? is there room in your father's house for us?
Genesis 24:24 And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah, Nahor's wife.
Genesis 24:25 And she said, We have a great store of dry grass and cattle-food, and there is room for you.
Genesis 24:26 And with bent head the man gave worship to the Lord;
Genesis 24:27 And said, Praise be to the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who has given a sign that he is good and true to my master, by guiding me straight to the house of my master's
family.
Genesis 24:28 So the girl went running and took the news of these things to her mother's house
Genesis 24:29 Now Rebekah had a brother named Laban, and he came out quickly to the man at the water-spring.
Genesis 24:30 And when he saw the nose-ring and the ornaments on his sister's hands, and when she gave him word of what the man had said to her, then he went out to the man who was waiting with the camels by the water-spring.
Genesis 24:31 And he said to him, Come in, you on whom is the blessing of the Lord; why are you waiting outside? for I have made the house ready for you, and a place for the camels.
Genesis 24:32 Then the man came into the house, and Laban took their cords off the camels and gave them dry grass and food, and he gave to him and the men who were with him water for washing their feet.
Genesis 24:33 And meat was put before him, but he said, I will not take food till I have made my business clear to you. And they said, Do so.
Genesis 24:34 And he said, I am Abraham's servant.
Genesis 24:35 The Lord has given my master every blessing, and he has become great: he has given him flocks and herds and silver and gold, and men-servants and women-servants and camels and asses.
Genesis 24:36 And when Sarah, my master's wife, was old, she gave birth to a son, to whom he has given all he has.
Genesis 24:37 And my master made me take an oath, saying, Do not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I am living;
Genesis 24:38 But go to my father's house and to my relations for a wife for my son.
Genesis 24:39 And I said to my master, What if the woman will not come with me?
Genesis 24:40 And he said, The Lord, whom I have ever kept before me, will send his angel with you, who will make it possible for you to get a wife for my son from my relations and my father's house;
Genesis 24:41 And you will be free from your oath to me when you come to my people; and if they will not give her to you, you will be free from your oath.
Genesis 24:42 And I came today to the water-spring, and I said, O Lord, the God of my master Abraham, if it is your purpose to give a good outcome to my journey,
Genesis 24:43 Let it come about that, while I am waiting here by the water-spring, if a girl comes to get water and I say to her, Give me a little water from your vessel, and she says,
Genesis 24:44 Take a drink, and I will get water for your camels; let her be the woman marked out by the Lord for my master's son.
Genesis 24:45 And even while I was saying this to myself, Rebekah came out with her vessel on her arm; and she went down to the spring to get water; and I said to her, Give me a drink.
Genesis 24:46 And straight away she took down her vessel from her arm, and said, Take a drink, and I will get water for your camels.
Genesis 24:47 And questioning her, I said, Whose daughter are you? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, the son of Nahor, and Milcah his wife. Then I put the ring on her nose and the ornaments on her hands.
Genesis 24:48 And with bent head I gave worship and praise to the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, by whom I had been guided in the right way, to get the daughter of my master's brother for his son.
Genesis 24:49 And now, say if you will do what is good and right for my master or not, in order that it may be clear to me what I have to do.
Genesis 24:50 Then Laban and Bethuel said in answer, This is the Lord's doing: it is not for us to say Yes or No to you.
Genesis 24:51 See, here is Rebekah: take her and go, and let her be your master's son's wife, as the Lord has said.
Genesis 24:52 And at these words, Abraham's servant went down on his face and gave praise to the Lord.
Genesis 24:53 Then he took jewels of silver and jewels of gold and fair robes and gave them to Rebekah: and he gave things of value to her mother and her brother.
Genesis 24:54 Then he and the men who were with him had food and drink, and took their rest there that night; and in the morning he got up, and said, Let me now go back to my master.
Genesis 24:55 But her brother and her mother said, Let the girl be with us a week or ten days, and then she may go.
Genesis 24:56 And he said, Do not keep me; the Lord has given a good outcome to my journey; let me now go back to my master.
Genesis 24:57 And they said, We will send for the girl, and let her make the decision.
Genesis 24:58 And they sent for Rebekah and said to her, Are you ready to go with this man? And she said, I am ready.
Genesis 24:59 So they sent their sister Rebekah and her servant with Abraham's servant and his men.
Genesis 24:60 And they gave Rebekah their blessing, saying, O sister, may you be the mother of thousands and ten thousands; and may your seed overcome all those who make war against them.
Genesis 24:61 So Rebekah and her servant-women went with the man, seated on the camels; and so the servant took Rebekah and went on his way.
Genesis 24:62 Now Isaac had come through the waste land to Beer-lahai-roi; for he was living in the South.
Genesis 24:63 And when the evening was near, he went wandering out into the fields, and lifting up his eyes he saw camels coming.
Genesis 24:64 And when Rebekah, looking up, saw Isaac, she got down from her camel,
Genesis 24:65 And said to the servant, Who is that man coming to us through the field? And the servant said, It is my master: then she took her veil, covering her face with it.
Genesis 24:66 Then the servant gave Isaac the story of all he had done.
Genesis 24:67 And Isaac took Rebekah into his tent and she became his wife; and in his love for her, Isaac was comforted after his father's death.
Genesis 25
Genesis 25:1 And Abraham took another wife named Keturah.
Genesis 25:2 She became the mother of Zimran and Jokshan and Medan and Midian and Ishbak and Shuah.
Genesis 25:3 And Jokshan became the father of Sheba and Dedan. And from Dedan came the Asshurim and Letushim and Leummim.
Genesis 25:4 And from Midian came Ephah and Epher and Hanoch and Abida and Eldaah. All these were the offspring of Keturah.
Genesis 25:5 Now Abraham gave all his property to Isaac;
Genesis 25:6 But to the sons of his other women he gave offerings, and sent them away, while he was still living, into the east country.
Genesis 25:7 Now the years of Abraham's life were a hundred and seventy-five.
Genesis 25:8 And Abraham came to his death, an old man, full of years; and he was put to rest with his people.
Genesis 25:9 And Isaac and Ishmael, his sons, put him to rest in the hollow rock of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron, the son of Zohar the Hittite, near Mamre;
Genesis 25:10 The same field which Abraham got from the children of Heth: there Abraham was put to rest with Sarah, his wife.
Genesis 25:11 Now after the death of Abraham, the blessing of God was with Isaac, his son.
Genesis 25:12 Now these are the generations of Ishmael, the son of Abraham, whose mother was Hagar the Egyptian, the servant of Sarah:
Genesis 25:13 These are the names of the sons of Ishmael by their generations: Ishmael's first son was Nebaioth; then Kedar and Adbeel and Mibsam
Genesis 25:14 And Mishma and Dumah and Massa,
Genesis 25:15 Hadad and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
Genesis 25:16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names in their towns and their tent-circles; twelve chiefs with their peoples.
Genesis 25:17 And the years of Ishmael's life were a hundred and thirty-seven: and he came to his end, and was put to rest with his people.
Genesis 25:18 And their country was from Havilah to Shur which is east of Egypt: they took their place to the east of all their brothers.
Genesis 25:19 Now these are the generations of Abraham's son Isaac:
Genesis 25:20 Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramaean of Paddan-aram, and the sister of Laban the Aramaean, to be his wife.
Genesis 25:21 Isaac made prayer to the Lord for his wife because she had no children; and the Lord gave ear to his prayer, and Rebekah became with child.
Genesis 25:22 And the children were fighting together inside her, and she said, If it is to be so, why am I like this? So she went to put her question to the Lord.
Genesis 25:23 And the Lord said to her, Two nations are in your body, and two peoples will come to birth from you: the one will be stronger than the other, and the older will be the servant of the younger.
Genesis 25:24 And when the time came for her to give birth, there were two children in her body.
Genesis 25:25 And the first came out red from head to foot like a robe of hair, and they gave him the name of Esau.
Genesis 25:26 And after him, his brother came out, gripping Esau's foot; and he was named Jacob: Isaac was sixty years old when she gave birth to them.
Genesis 25:27 And the boys came to full growth; and Esau became a man of the open country, an expert bowman; but Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.
Genesis 25:28 Now Isaac's love was for Esau, because Esau's meat was greatly to his taste: but Rebekah had more love for Jacob.
Genesis 25:29 And one day Jacob was cooking some soup when Esau came in from the fields in great need of food;
Genesis 25:30 And Esau said to Jacob, Give me a full meal of that red soup, for I am overcome with need for food: for this reason he was named Edom.
Genesis 25:31 And Jacob said, First of all give me your birthright.
Genesis 25:32 And Esau said, Truly, I am at the point of death: what profit is the birthright to me?
Genesis 25:33 And Jacob said, First of all give me your oath; and he gave him his oath, handing over his birthright to Jacob.
Genesis 25:34 Then Jacob gave him bread and soup; and he took food and drink and went away, caring little for his birthright.
Genesis 26
Genesis 26:1 Then came a time of great need in the land, like that which had been before in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Philistines, at Gerar.
Genesis 26:2 And the Lord came to him in a vision and said, Do not go down to Egypt; keep in the land of which I will give you knowledge:
Genesis 26:3 Keep in this land, and I will be with you and give you my blessing; for to you and to your seed will I give all these lands, giving effect to the oath which I made to your father Abraham;
Genesis 26:4 I will make your seed like the stars of heaven in number, and will give them all these lands, and your seed will be a blessing to all the nations of the earth;
Genesis 26:5 Because Abraham gave ear to my voice and kept my words, my rules, my orders, and my laws.
Genesis 26:6 So Isaac went on living in Gerar;
Genesis 26:7 And when he was questioned by the men of the place about his wife, he said, She is my sister; fearing to say, She is my wife; for, he said, the men of the place may put me to death on account of Rebekah; because she is very beautiful.
Genesis 26:8 And when he had been there for some time, Abimelech, king of the Philistines, looking through a window, saw Isaac playing with Rebekah his wife.
Genesis 26:9 And he said to Isaac, It is clear that she is your wife: why then did you say, She is my sister? And Isaac said, For fear that I might be put to death because of her.
Genesis 26:10 Then Abimelech said, What have you done to us? one of the people might well have had connection with your wife, and the sin would have been ours.
Genesis 26:11 And Abimelech gave orders to his people that anyone touching Isaac or his wife was to be put to death.
Genesis 26:12 Now Isaac, planting seed in that land, got in the same year fruit a hundred times as much, for the blessing of the Lord was on him.
Genesis 26:13 And his wealth became very great, increasing more and more;
Genesis 26:14 For he had great wealth of flocks and herds and great numbers of servants; so that the Philistines were full of envy.
Genesis 26:15 Now all the water-holes, which his father's servants had made in the days of Abraham, had been stopped up with earth by the Philistines.
Genesis 26:16 And Abimelech said to Isaac, Go away from us, for you are stronger than we are.
Genesis 26:17 So Isaac went away from there, and put up his tents in the valley of Gerar, making his living-place there.
Genesis 26:18 And he made again the water-holes which had been made in the days of Abraham his father, and which had been stopped up by the Philistines; and he gave them the names which his father had given them.
Genesis 26:19 Now Isaac's servants made holes in the valley, and came to a spring of flowing water.
Genesis 26:20 But the herdmen of Gerar had a fight with Isaac's herdmen, for they said, The spring is ours: so he gave the spring the name of Esek, because there was a fight about it.
Genesis 26:21 Then they made another water-hole, and there was a fight about that, so he gave it the name of Sitnah.
Genesis 26:22 Then he went away from there, and made another water-hole, about which there was no fighting: so he gave it the name of Rehoboth, for he said, Now the Lord has made room for us, and we will have fruit in this land.
Genesis 26:23 And from there he went on to Beer-sheba.
Genesis 26:24 That night the Lord came to him in a vision, and said, I am the God of your father Abraham: have no fear for I am with you, blessing you, and your seed will be increased because of my servant Abraham.
Genesis 26:25 Then he made an altar there, and gave worship to the name of the Lord, and he put up his tents there, and there his servants made a water-hole.
Genesis 26:26 And Abimelech had come to him from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his friend and Phicol, the captain of his army.
Genesis 26:27 And Isaac said to them, Why have you come to me, seeing that in your hate for me you sent me away from you?
Genesis 26:28 And they said, We saw clearly that the Lord was with you: so we said, Let there be an oath between us and you, and let us make an agreement with you;
Genesis 26:29 That you will do us no damage, even as we put no hand on you, and did you nothing but good, and sent you away in peace: and now the blessing of the Lord is on you.
Genesis 26:30 Then he made a feast for them, and they all had food and drink.
Genesis 26:31 And early in the morning they took an oath one to the other: then Isaac sent them away and they went on their way in peace.
Genesis 26:32 And that day Isaac's servants came to him and gave him word of the water-hole which they had made, and said to him, We have come to water.
Genesis 26:33 And he gave it the name of Shibah: so the name of that town is Beer-sheba to this day.
Genesis 26:34 And when Esau was forty years old, he took as his wives Judith, the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon the Hittite:
Genesis 26:35 And Isaac and Rebekah had grief of mind because of them.
