And he said, "Take thy only son Isaac whom thou lovest, and get thee unto the land of Moria, and sacrifice him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will show thee."

And he communed with them, saying, "If it be your minds that I shall bury my dead out of my sight, hear me and speak for me to Ephron the son of Zohar:

that I may make thee swear by the LORD that is God of heaven and God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son, of the daughters of the Canaanites, among which I dwell.

But shalt go unto my country and to my kindred, and there take a wife unto my son Isaac."

Then said the servant unto him, "What and if the woman will not agree to come with me unto this land, shall I bring thy son again unto the land which thou camest out of?"

And Abraham said unto him, "Beware of that, that thou bring not my son thither.

The LORD God of heaven which took me from my father's house and from the land where I was born, and which spake unto me and sware unto me saying 'unto thy seed will I give this land' - he shall send his angel before thee, that thou mayest take a wife unto my son from thence.

Nevertheless, if the woman will not agree to come with thee then shalt thou be without danger of this oath. But above all things bring not my son thither again."

And Sara my master's wife bare him a son, when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.

And my master made me swear saying, 'Thou shalt not take a wife to my son, among the daughters of the Canaanites in whose land I dwell.

But thou shalt go unto my father's house and to my kindred, and there take a wife unto my son.'

And he said unto me, 'The LORD before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy journey that thou shalt take a wife for my son, of my kindred and of my father's house.

and she say again to me, 'drink thou, and I will also draw water for thy camels,' that same is the wife, whom the LORD hath prepared for my master's son.'

And I asked her, saying, 'whose daughter art thou?' And she answered, 'the daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him.' And I put the earring upon her face and the bracelets upon her hands.

And I bowed myself, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham which had brought me the right way, to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son.

Behold Rebekah before thy face: take her and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, even as the LORD hath said."

And after the death of Abraham, God blessed Isaac his son, which dwelt by the well of the living and seeing.

These are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, which Hagar the Egyptian, Sara's handmaid, bare unto Abraham.

And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac.

Then said Abimelech, "Why hast thou done this unto us? One of the people might lightly have lain by thy wife and so shouldest thou have brought sin upon us."

And it came to pass that Isaac waxed old and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see. Then called he Esau, his eldest son, and said unto him, "My son." And he said unto him, "Here am I."

But Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And as soon as Esau was gone to the field to catch venison, and to bring it,

she spake unto Jacob her son, saying, "Behold, I have heard thy father talking with Esau thy brother, and saying,

Now therefore, my son, hear my voice in that which I command thee:

And his mother said unto him, "Upon me be thy curse, my son, only hear my voice, and go and fetch me them."

And she went and fetched goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau which she had in the house with her, and put them upon Jacob her youngest son,

And she put the meat and bread which she had made in the hand of her son Jacob.

And he went in to his father saying, "My father." And he answered, "Here am I, who art thou my son?"

And Jacob said unto his father, "I am Esau, thy eldest son. I have done according as thou baddest me: up and sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me."

But Isaac said unto his son, "How cometh it that thou hast found it so quickly my son?" He answered, "The LORD thy God brought it to my hand."

Then said Isaac unto Jacob, "Come near and let me feel thee my son, whether thou be my son Esau or not."

And he asked him, "Art thou my son Esau?" And he said, "That I am."

Then said he, "Bring me and let me eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless thee." And he brought him, and he ate. And he brought him wine also, and he drank.
