And they will dig another well, and will strive for that also: and he will call its name Sitnah.

He moved from there and dug another, and they did not quarrel over it. He named it Open Spaces and said, “For now the Lord has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”

And he will go up from thence to the well of the oath.

and the Lord appeared to him that night and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your offspring because of My servant Abraham.”

And he will build an altar there, and will call on the name of Jehovah, and will stretch out there his tent: and there Isaak's servants will dig a well.

And Isaak will say to them, Wherefore came ye to me, and ye hated me, and will send me away from you?

And they will say, Seeing we saw that Jehovah was with thee: and we will say, There shall be an oath between us, between us and between thee, and we will make a covenant with thee.

You will not harm us, just as we have not harmed you but have only done what was good to you, sending you away in peace. You are now blessed by the Lord.”

And he will make to them a drinking, and they will eat and drink.

And they will rise early in the morning, and they will swear, a man to his brother, and Isaak will send them away and they will go from him in peace.

And it shall be in that day, and Isaak's servants will come and announce to him concerning the well which they digged, and they will say to him, We found water.

And he will call it oath: for this the name of the city the well of the oath till this day.

And Esau will be the son of forty years, and he will take a wife, Judith, the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemah, daughter of Elon the Hittite.

And they will be bitterness of spirit to Isaak and to Rebekah.

And it shall be as Isaak grew old, and his eyes shall be weak for seeing, and he will call Esau his son the great, and he will say to him, My son: and he will say to him, Behold me.

And he will say, Behold now, I grew old; I knew not the day of my death.

Therefore, take your weapons -- your quiver and your bow -- and go out into the open fields and hunt down some wild game for me.

Then prepare for me some tasty food, the kind I love, and bring it to me. Then I will eat it so that I may bless you before I die."

Now Rebekah had been listening while Isaac spoke to his son Esau. When Esau went out to the open fields to hunt down some wild game and bring it back,

Bring to me a hunting, and make for me dainties, and eating, and I will praise thee before Jehovah, before my death.

Go to the flock and bring me two choice young goats, and I will make them into a delicious meal for your father—the kind he loves.

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:

Suppose my father touches me. Then I will be revealed to him as a deceiver and bring a curse rather than a blessing on myself.”

And his mother will say to him, Upon me thy curse my son; only hear to my voice, and go take to me.

And he will go, and will take, and bring to his mother: and his mother will make dainties as that his father loved.

And Rebekah will take desirable covering of Esau her son, the great, which was with her in the house, and will put upon Jacob her son, the small.

And she will give the dainties, and the bread which she made, into the hand of Jacob her son.

And he will go to his father and will say, My father. And he will say, Behold me; who thou my son?

And Jacob will say to his father, I am Esau thy first-born; I did according to that thou spakest to me: arise, now, sit and eat from my hunting, so that thy soul shall praise me.

And Isaak will say to his son, How this, thou wert quick to find my son? and the will say, Because Jehovah thy God caused to meet before me.

And Isaak will say to Jacob, Come near, now, and I shall feel thee, my son, if thou this my son Esau or not

And Jacob will come near to Isaak his father, and he will feel him, and he will say, The voice, the voice of Jacob; and the hands, the hands of Esau.

And he knew him not, for his hands were as the hands of Esau, his brother of hair: and he will praise him.

And he will say, Thou this my son Esau? and he will say, I.

And he will say, Bring near to me, and eating of my son's hunting, so that my soul shall praise thee. And he will bring near to him and he will eat: and he will bring wine to him, and he will drink

And Isaak his father will say to him, Come near, now, and kiss me, my son.

And he will come near, and will kiss him: and he will smell the smell of his garment, and he will bless him, and he will say, See, the smell of my son as the smell of a field which Jehovah praised.

And God will give to thee from the dew of the heavens, and from the fatness of the earth, and a multiude of corn and new wine.

May peoples serve you
and nations bow down to you.
Be master over your brothers;
may your mother’s sons bow down to you.
Those who curse you will be cursed,
and those who bless you will be blessed.

And it shall be after that Isaak finished to praise Jacob, and it shall be Jacob going will but go out from the face of Isaak his father, and Esau his brother came from his hunting.

And he also will make dainties, and will bring to his father; and he will say to his father, Will my father rise and eat from his son's hunting, that thy soul shall bless me?

And Isaak his father will say to him, Who art thou? And he will say, I thy son, thy first-born, Esau.

Isaac began to tremble uncontrollably. “Who was it then,” he said, “who hunted game and brought it to me? I ate it all before you came in, and I blessed him. Indeed, he will be blessed!”

When Esau heard the words of his father, and he will cry out with a great cry, even bitter exceedingly, and he will say to his father, praise me, me also, my father!

And he will say, Thy brother came with deceit and he will take thy blessing.

And he will say, Is it not that his name was called Jacob? he will defraud me this twice: he took my birthright and behold, now he took my blessing And he will say, Didst thou not put aside a blessing for me?

And Isaak will answer and say to Esau, Behold, I made him mighty over thee, and all his brethren I gave to him for servants; and with corn and new wine I supported him: and what shall I do to thee my son?

And Esau will say to his father, Is but this one blessing to thee my father? bless me, also me, my father! and Esau will lift up the voice and weep.

Then his father Isaac answered him:

Look, your dwelling place will be
away from the richness of the land,
away from the dew of the sky above.

You will live by your sword,
and you will serve your brother.
But when you rebel,
you will break his yoke from your neck.

Esau held a grudge against Jacob because of the blessing his father had given him. And Esau determined in his heart: “The days of mourning for my father are approaching; then I will kill my brother Jacob.”

And the words of Esau her son, the great, will be announced to Rebekah; and she will send and call to Jacob her son, the small, and she will say to him, Behold, Esau thy brother will avenge himself toward thee by killing thee.

until your brother’s rage turns away from you and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send for you and bring you back from there. Why should I lose you both in one day?”

And Rebekah will say to Isaak, I was finished in my life from the face of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob took a wife from the daughters of Heth, as these from the daughters of the land, for what to me life?

And Isaak will call to Jacob, and will bless him, and will command him, and will say to him, Thou shalt not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan.

And God Almighty will bless thee, and will make thee fruitful, and will multiply thee, and thou wert for an assembly of nations.

And he will give to thee the praise of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; for thee to inherit the land of thy sojourning, which God gave to Abraham.

And Isaak will send away Jacob; and he will go to Padan Aram, to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, brother of Rebekah, mother of Jacob and Esau.

And Esau will see that Isaak praised Jacob, and sent him away to Padan Aram, to take to him from thence a wife; in blessing him, and he will command him saying, Thou shalt not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan;

And Jacob will hear to his father, and to his mother, and will go to Padan Aram.

And Esau will see that the daughters of Canaan are evil in the eyes of Isaak his father.

And Esau will go to Ishmael, and will take Mahalath, daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, sister of Nebajoth, to his wives, to him for a wife.

And Jacob will go from the well of the oath, and will come to Haran.

And he will light upon a place and he will remain there, for the sun was gone down: and he will take from the stones of the place and put at his head and will lie down in that place.

And he will dream, and behold a ladder placed in the earth, and the head of it reaching to the heavens: and behold the messengers of God ascending and descending upon it.

Yahweh was standing there beside him, saying, “I am Yahweh, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your offspring the land that you are now sleeping on.

Your offspring will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out toward the west, the east, the north, and the south. All the peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring.

Look, I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go. I will bring you back to this land, for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”

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.

Then Jacob made a vow: “If God will be with me and watch over me on this journey, if He provides me with food to eat and clothing to wear,

and if I return safely to my father’s house, then the Lord will be my God.

This stone that I have set up as a marker will be God’s house, and I will give to You a tenth of all that You give me.”

And Jacob will lift'up his feet and will go to the land of the sons of the east

And he will see, and behold, a well in the field, and behold there three flocks of sheep lying by it; for from that well they will water the flocks and the great stone upon the mouth of the well.

And Jacob will say to them, My brethren, whence are ye? and they will say, We are from Haran.

And he will say to them, knew ye Laban the son of Nahor? and they will say, We knew.

And he will say to them, Is health to him? and they will say, Health: Behold, Rachel his daughter came with the sheep.

And he will say, Behold, yet the day great, not the time of gathering the cattle; water ye the sheep, and go feed.

But they replied, “We can’t until all the flocks have been gathered and the stone is rolled from the well’s opening. Then we will water the sheep.”

And it shall be when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, and Jacob will come near, and will roll away the stone from the mouth of the well, and will water the sheep of Laban his mother's brother.

And Jacob will kiss Rachel, and will lift up his voice and weep.

And Jacob will announce to Rachel that he is her father's brother, and that he is Rebekah's son; and she will run and announce to her father.

And it shall be when Laban heard the hearing of Jacob his sister's son, and he will run to meet him, and he will embrace him, and kiss him and bring him to his house, and he will recount to Laban all these words.

And Laban will say to him, Surely my bone and my flesh art thou: and he will dwell with him a month of days.

And Laban will say to Jacob, Because thou art my brother shalt thou serve me gratuitously? announce to me what thy reward.

And Jacob will love Rachel, and will say, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy daughter the small.

And Laban will say, Good for me to give her to thee rather than for me to give her to another man. Dwell with me.

And Jacob will serve for Rachel seven years, and they will be in his eyes as a few days in his loving her.

And Jacob will say to Laban, Give my wife, for the days were completed, and I will go in to her.

And Laban will gather together all the men of the place, and will make a drinking.

And it will be in the evening, and he will take Leah his daughter, and bring her to him, and he will go in to her.

And Laban will give to her, Zilpah his maid, to Leah his daughter a maid.

And it will be in the morning, and behold, she was Leak And he will say to Laban, What this thou didst to me? did I not serve with thee for Rachel? and wherefore didst thou deceive me?

And Laban will say, It shall not be done so in our place, to give the small before the first-born.

Complete this week of wedding celebration, and we will also give you this younger one in return for working yet another seven years for me.”

And Jacob will do so, and he will complete her seven, and he will give to him Rachel his daughter to him for a wife.
