Jacob's Spring was there. So Jesus, tired out with his journey, was sitting thus by the spring.

Abraham was the father of Isaac; Isaac was the father of Jacob; Jacob, of Judah and his brethren;

"Then he gave him a covenant of circumcision, and under this covenant he became the father of Isaac, whom he circumcised on the eighth day, and Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob became the father of the twelve Patriarchs.

By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph's sons, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.

It was by faith that he sojourned in the promised land as an alien, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, his fellow heirs of the same promise.

By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning things to come.
