and Jacob's spring was there. So Jesus, tired from His journey, was sitting by the spring just as He was. It was about noon.

Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers,

And with Abraham He made the sacred compact of circumcision, and he became the father of Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day, and Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob of the twelve patriarchs.

By faith Jacob, when about to die, put his blessing on each of Joseph's sons, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.

By faith he made his temporary home in the land that God had promised him, although a land inhabited by others, living merely in tents with Isaac and Jacob, who were to share the promise with him.

By faith Isaac put his blessings for the future on Jacob and Esau.
