And Jehovah God made the rib (which He had taken from the man) into a woman. And He brought her to the man.

And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasing to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make wise, she took of its fruit, and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.

And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He will bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.

And Lamech said to his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice, wives of Lamech, listen to my speech. For I have killed a man because of my wound, and a young man because of my hurt.

But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot. And she returned to him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth. Then he put out his hand and took her, and pulled her in to him into the ark.

And the dove came in to him in the evening. And, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off. So Noah knew that the waters had gone down from off the earth.

The princes of Pharaoh also saw her and commended her before Pharaoh. And the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.

And he treated Abram well for her sake. And he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and male servants, and maidservants, and she-asses, and camels.

Why did you say, She is my sister? And so I was about to take her to me as wife. Now therefore behold your wife. Take her and go.

And Abram said, Behold, You have given no seed to me. And behold, one born in my house is my heir.

And behold, the Word of Jehovah came to him saying, This one shall not be your heir. But he that shall come forth out of your own bowels shall be your heir.

But in the fourth generation they shall come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.

Now Sarai, Abram's wife, did not bear. And she had a female slave, an Egyptian, and her name was Hagar.

And Sarai said to Abram, Behold now, Jehovah has kept me from bearing. I pray you, go in to my slave woman. It may be that I may be built by her. And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.

And Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar her slave woman, the Egyptian, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife (after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan).

And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.

And Sarai said to Abram, My wrong be upon you. I have given my slave woman into your bosom, and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes. Jehovah judge between me and you.

But Abram said to Sarai, Behold, your slave woman is in your hand. Do to her as it pleases you. And Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her face.

And the Angel of Jehovah found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.

And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, Return to your mistress and submit yourself under her hands.

And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, I will multiply your seed exceedingly, so that it shall not be numbered for multitude.

And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, Behold, you are with child, and shall bear a son. And you shall call his name Ishmael, because Jehovah has heard your affliction.

And she called the name of Jehovah who had spoken to her, You are a God of vision! For she said, Even here have I looked after Him that sees me?

And God said to Abraham, As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but her name shall be Sarah.

And I will bless her, and give you a son also of her. Yes, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations, kings of people shall be from her.

And the men said to Lot, Have you anyone here besides yourself? Bring your sons-in-law, and your sons, and your daughters, and whatever you have in the city, bring them out of this place.

And when the dawn rose up, then the angels hurried Lot, saying, Rise up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the iniquity of the city.

And they made their father drink wine that night. And the first-born went in, and lay with her father. And he did not notice when she lay down nor when she arose.

But Abimelech had not come near her. And he said, Lord, will You also kill a righteous nation?

And God said to him in a dream, Yes, I know that you did this in the sincerity of your heart. For I also withheld you from sinning against Me. Therefore I did not allow you to touch her.

Now therefore, restore his wife to the man. For he is a prophet, and he shall pray for you, and you shall live. And if you do not restore her, know that you shall surely die, you, and all that are yours.

And it happened when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said to her, This is your kindness which you show to me, at every place where we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.

And Sarah said, God has made me laugh, so that all who hear will laugh with me.

And she said to Abraham, Cast out this slave woman and her son. For the son of this slave woman shall not be heir with my son, with Isaac.

And God said to Abraham, Let it not be grievous in your sight because of the boy and because of your slave woman. In all that Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice. For in Isaac your Seed shall be called.

And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder. And he gave her the boy, and sent her away. And she departed and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.

And she went and sat down across from him, a good way off, about a bowshot. For she said, Let me not see the death of the boy. And she sat across from him, and lifted up her voice, and cried.

And God heard the voice of the boy, and the angel of God called to Hagar out of the heavens, and said to her, What ails you, Hagar? Do not fear, for God has heard the voice of the boy where he is.

And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went and filled the bottle with water, and gave drink to the boy.

Now therefore swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son. Do to me according to the kindness that I have sworn to you, and to the land in which you have lived.

And Abraham said to his young men, You stay here with the ass. And I and the boy will go on to this way and worship, and come again to you.

And Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, My father. And he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood. But where is the lamb for a burnt offering?

And the Angel of Jehovah called to him from the heavens and said, Abraham! Abraham! And he said, Here am I.

And Sarah died in Kirjath-arba; the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan. And Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.

Hear us, my lord. You are a mighty prince among us. Bury your dead in the choice of our burying places. None of us shall withhold from you his burying-place from burying your dead.

And he spoke with them, saying, If it is your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and ask for me of Ephron the son of Zohar,

No, my lord, hear me. I give you the field, and the cave that is in it I give to you. In the presence of the sons of my people I give it to you. Bury your dead.

And he spoke to Ephron in the ears of the people of the land, saying, Only if you would hear me. I will give you silver for the field. Take it from me, and I will bury my dead there.

And let it be that the young woman to whom I shall say, Let down your pitcher, please, so that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give your camels drink also. Let her be the one that You have appointed for Your servant Isaac. And by it I shall know that You have shown kindness to my master.

And before he had finished speaking, it happened, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.

And the young woman was very beautiful to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her. And she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.

And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Please let me drink a little water of your pitcher.

And she said, Drink, my lord. And she hurried and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave a drink to him.

And she hurried, and emptied her pitcher in the trough, and ran again to the well to draw water. And she drew for all his camels.

And the man was watching her, keeping silent, in order to know whether Jehovah had prospered his journey or not.

And it happened, when the camels had finished drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hand, weighing ten shekels of gold.

And the young woman ran and told her mother's house these things.

behold, I stand by the well of water. And it shall be when the virgin comes forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, please, a little water from your pitcher to drink,

And before I finished speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came out with her pitcher on her shoulder. And she went down to the well and drew water. And I said to her, Please let me drink.

And she hurried and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give drink to your camels also. So I drank, and she made the camels drink also.

And I asked her and said, Whose daughter are you? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him. And I put the earring upon her nose and the bracelets upon her hands.

Behold! Rebekah is before you; take her and go. And let her be the wife of your master's son, even as Jehovah has spoken.

And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing, and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave precious things to her brother and to her mother.

And her brother and her mother said, Let the young woman stay with us perhaps ten days. After that she shall go.

And they said, We will call the young woman and inquire at her mouth.

And they called Rebekah, and said to her, Will you go with this man? And she said, I will go.

And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.

And they blessed Rebekah, and said to her, Our sister, be the mother of thousands of millions, and let your seed possess the gate of those who hate them.

And Rebekah rose up, and her young women, and they rode upon the camels and followed the man. And the servant took Rebekah and went his way.

And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and she saw Isaac. And she dismounted from the camel.

And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife. And he loved her. And Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.

Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.

And the sons struggled together within her. And she said, If it is so, why am I this way? And she went to inquire of Jehovah.

And Jehovah said to her, Two nations are in your womb, and two kinds of people shall be separated from your bowels. And the one people shall be stronger than the other people, the older shall serve the younger.

And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, twins were in her womb!

And Abimelech called Isaac and said, Behold! She surely is your wife. And why did you say, She is my sister? And Isaac said to him, Because I said, Lest I die on account of her.

And it happened when Isaac was old and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called his oldest son Esau and said to him, My son. And he said to him, Behold, I am here.

And he said to him, Behold, here am I. And he said, Behold now, I am old, I do not know the day of my death.

And Rebekah spoke to her son Jacob, saying, Behold, I heard your father speak to your brother Esau, saying,

And Rebekah took the clothes of her older son Esau, the costly ones which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son.

And she gave the delicious things and the bread which she had prepared into the hand of her son Jacob.

And he came to his father and said, My father! And he said, Here I am; who are you, my son?

And these words of her older son Esau were told to Rebekah. And she sent and called her younger son Jacob, and said to him, Behold, your brother Esau is going to ease himself on you, to kill you.

While he still spoke with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she kept them.

And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son. And she ran and told her father.

And Laban said, It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me.

And Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed to him a few days, for the love he had for her.

And Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, so that I may go in to her.

And it happened in the evening, he took his daughter Leah and brought her to him. And he went in to her.

Fulfill her week, and we will give you this one also for the service which you shall serve with me still another seven years.

And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. And he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.

And Laban gave Bilhah his slave woman to his daughter Rachel, to be her handmaid.

And when Jehovah saw that Leah was hated, even He opened her womb. But Rachel was barren.

And when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister. And she said to Jacob, Give me sons, or else I will die.

And she said, Behold my slave woman Bilhah; go in to her, and she shall bear upon my knees, and yea, let me be built up from her, me also.

And she gave him her slave woman Bilhah to wife. And Jacob went in to her.

When Leah saw that she had quit bearing, she took her slave woman Zilpah and gave her to Jacob to wife.

And she said to her, Is it a small matter that you have taken my husband? And would you also take my son's love-apples? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with you tonight for your son's love-apples.

And Jacob came out of the field in the evening. And Leah went out to meet him, and said, You must come in to me, for I have surely hired you with my son's love-apples. And he lay with her that night.

And Leah said, God has given me my hire, because I gave my slave to my husband. And she called his name Issachar.
