jacob » The well of
(For his disciples were gone into the city that they might buy food.) Then says the Samaritan woman to him, How thou, being a Jew, askest of me to drink, being a Samaritan woman? for the Jews have no intercourse with the Samaritans. And Jesus answered and said to her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who he is saying to thee, Give me to drink: thou hadst asked him, and he had given thee living water. The woman says to him, Lord, thou hest no vessel for drawing, and the well is deep; whence then hast thou the living water? Thou art not greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and he himself drank of it, and his sons, and his young animals. Jesus answered and said to her, All drinking of this water shall thirst again: But whoever should drink of the water which I shall give him, shall never thirst; but the water which I shall give him shall be in him a spring of water springing up to eternal life. The woman says to him, Lord, give me this water, that I thirst not, nor come here to draw. Jesus says to her, Retire, call thy husband, and come here. The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus says to her, Thou sayest well, That I have no husband: For thou hadst five husbands; and now he whom thou hast is not thy husband: this thou saidst true. The woman says to him, Lord, I see that thou art a prophet. Our fathers worshipped in this mount; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where they must worship. Jesus says to her, Woman, believe me, that the hour comes, when neither in this mount, neither in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father. Ye worship what ye know not: we worship what we know: for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for also the Father seeks such worshipping him. God a Spirit: and they worshipping him must worship in spirit and truth. The woman says to him, I know that Messias comes, called Christ: when he should come, he will announce all things to us. Jesus says to her, I am he speaking to thee. And upon this his disciples came, and they wondered that he spake with the woman: yet none said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her? The woman then left her water buckets and departed to the city, and says to the men, Come, see a man, who told me all which I ever did: is not this Christ? Then went they forth out of the city, and came to him.

And Jacob will be greatly afraid and it will press upon him: and he will divide the people which were with him, and the sheep and the oxen, and the camels, into two camps.

And Jacob will say, God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaak, Jehovah having said to me, Turn back to thy land and to thy family, and I will do well with thee. I was little from all the kindness and from all the truth which thou didst to thy servant; for with my rod I passed over this Jordan, and now I became into two camps. Take me away now from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I am afraid of him, lest he shall come and smite me, the mother upon the sons. And thou saidst, Doing well I will do well with thee, and I set thy seed as the sand of the sea, which shall not be counted for multitude.

And he will give into the hand of his servants a flock, a flock itself alone; and he will say to his servants, Pass over before me, and ye shall put enlargement between flock and between flock. And he will command the first, saying, When Esau my brother shall meet thee and ask thee saying, To whom thou? and whither wilt thou go? and to whom these before thee? And thou saying, To thy servant, to Jacob: this a gift sent to my lord to Esau, and behold also he is behind us. And he will command also the second, also the third, also all going behind the flocks, saying, According to this word shall ye speak to Esau in your finding him. And ye said, Also behold thy servant Jacob behind us. For he said, I will appease his face with the gift going before me, and after this I will see his face; perhaps he will receive my face. And the gift will pass over before his face, and he remained in that night in the camp. And he will rise in that night and take his two wives and his two maids, and his eleven sons, and he will pass over the passage of Jabbok. Andhewill take them and will cause them to pass through the torrent, and he will cause to pass through what is to him.

And behold, Jehovah was set upon it, and he will say, I Jehovah, the God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaak: the land which thou liest upon it, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed. And thy seed was as the dust of the earth, And thou didst spread abroad to the sea and east, and north, and south: and in thee shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed, and in thy seed. And behold, I am with thee, and I preserved thee in all which thou shalt go, and I turned thee back to this land; for I will not forsake thee, till that I have done what I said to thee. And Jacob will awake from his sleep, and he will say, surely there is Jehovah in this place and I knew not And he will be afraid, and will Say, How terrible this place is not this but the house of God, and this the gate of the heavens? And Jacob will rise early in the morning, and take the stone which he put at his head, and will set it a pillar, and pour oil upon its head. And he will call the name of that place the house of God: and Ailam Luz the name of the city at the beginning. And Jacob will vow a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will preserve me in this way which I went, and gave to me bread to eat, and covering to put on, And I turned back in peace to my father's house; and Jehovah was to me for God. And this stone which I set a pillar shall be the house of God, and all which thou shalt give to me, the tenth I will tithe it to thee.
And he will say to him, What thy name? and he will say, Jacob. And he will say, Thy name shall no more be said Jacob, but Israel, for thou wert a prince with God and with men, and thou shalt prevail. And Jacob will ask and will say, Announce now, thy name: and he will say, For what this thou wilt ask for my name? and he will bless him there. And Jacob will call the name of the place, the face of God: for I saw God lace to face, and my soul shall be saved. And the sun will rise to him when he passed through the face of God, and he limped upon his thigh. For this, the sons of Israel will not eat the sinew which dried up which is upon the hollow of the thigh, even till this day; for he touched upon the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew which dried up.

Go now to the flocks, and take to me from thence two kids of the she-goats good, and I will make them dainties for thy father, as that he loved. And thou shall bring to thy father, and eating, so that he will praise thee before his death. And Jacob will say to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother a man of hair, and I a smooth man: Perhaps my father will feel me, and I was in his eyes as mocking; and I brought a curse and not a praise. And his mother will say to him, Upon me thy curse my son; only hear to my voice, and go take to me.

And Jacob separated the lambs, and he will give the faces of the sheep to the banded and every one black among the sheep of Laban: and he will set to himself the flocks, to himself alone, and not put them with Laban's sheep.
