He asked her, "Whose daughter are you? Please tell me, is there room in your father's house for us to spend the night?"

And she said to him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel, Milcah’s son, whom she bore to [her husband] Nahor.”

And the maiden ran and told these things to her mother's house.

And so it was, as soon as he saw the nose ring and bracelets on his sister's wrists, and as soon as he heard what his sister Rebekah was saying about what the man had spoken to her, he went out to the man who was still standing by the camels at the spring!

"Come on," Laban said. "The LORD has blessed you! So why are you standing out here when I've prepared some space in the house and a place for the camels?"

and Jehovah hath blessed my lord exceedingly, and he is great; and He giveth to him flock, and herd, and silver, and gold, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and camels, and asses;

And Sarah, the wife of my master, has borne a son to my master after her old age. And he has given to him all that he has.

Then will you be clear from my oath, when you come to my relatives. If they do not give her to you, you shall be clear from my oath.'

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 she will tell me, "Drink, and I will also draw for your camels,"?let her be the woman whom the LORD has appointed for my master's son.'

Before I ended speaking in my heart, behold, Rebecca came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder, and went down to the well, and drew water; and I said to her, Give me, I pray thee, to drink.

And she hasted and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also. And I drank; and she gave the camels drink also.

And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him. And I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her hands.

"So I gave her a ring for her nose and bracelets for her wrists. I bowed down and worshipped the LORD, and I praised the LORD God of my master Abraham, who led me on the true way to request the daughter of my master's brother for his son.

Behold, Rebecca is before thee: take her, and go away; and let her be wife of thy master's son, as Jehovah has said.

And the servant brought forth silver articles, and gold articles, and clothing, and he gave them to Rebecca; and he gave to her brother, and to her mother, precious things.

And her brother and her mother said, Let the maiden abide with us some days, or say ten; after that she shall go.

And they said, Let us call the maiden and inquire at her mouth.

And they called Rebecca and said to her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.

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

And they blessed Rebecca, and said to her, Thou art our sister; mayest thou become thousands of tens of thousands; and may thy seed possess the gate of their enemies!

And Rebecca arose, and her maids, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man. And the servant took Rebecca, and went away.

And Rebecca lifted up her eyes and saw Isaac, and she sprang off the camel.

She said to the servant, "Who is the man who is walking in the field to meet us?" The servant said, "It is my master." She took her veil, and covered herself.

"That's my master," the servant told her. So she reached for a veil and covered herself. Then the servant informed Isaac about everything he had done.

And Isaac led her into his mother Sarah's tent; and he took Rebecca, and she became his wife, and he loved her. And Isaac was comforted after the death of his mother.

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

Here's a list of the names of Ishmael's sons, recorded by their names and descendants: Nebaioth was the firstborn, followed by Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of Jehovah.

And Jehovah said to her, Two nations are in thy womb, And two peoples shall be separated from thy bowels; And one people shall be stronger than the other people, And the elder shall serve the younger.

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

and afterwards hath his brother come out, and his hand is taking hold on Esau's heel, and one calleth his name Jacob; and Isaac is a son of sixty years in her bearing them.

And Esau said, Here am I, on the point of dying, - wherefore, then, should I, have, a birthright?

Later on, the men of that place asked about his wife, so he replied, "She's my sister," because he was afraid to call her "my wife." He kept thinking, ""otherwise, the men around here will kill me on account of Rebekah, since she's very beautiful."

Then Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, she is certainly thy wife; and how saidst thou, She is my sister? and Isaac said to him, Because I said, Lest I die on account of her.

and he hath possession of a flock, and possession of a herd, and an abundant service; and the Philistines envy him,

And it came to pass when Isaac had become old, and his eyes were dim so that he could not see, that he called Esau his elder son, and said to him, My son! And he said to him, Here am I.

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 Rebecca spoke to Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak to Esau thy brother, saying,

And Rebecca took the clothes of her elder son Esau, the costly ones which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son;

and she gave the savoury dishes and the bread that she had prepared into the hand of her son Jacob.

And he came to his father, and said, My father! And he said, Here am I: who art thou, my son?

So Isaac told Jacob, "Come here, my son, so I can feel you and know for sure whether or not you're my son Esau."

Then his father Isaac said to him, "Come here and kiss me, my son."

Isaac replied, "Your brother came here deceitfully and stole your blessing."

And the words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebecca. And she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, comforts himself that he will kill thee.

Then Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am tired of living because of the daughters of Heth [these insolent wives of Esau]. If Jacob takes a wife from the daughters of Heth, like these daughters of the land, what good will my life be to me?”

Now pay attention! I'm here with you, and I'm going to be watching over you wherever you go. I'm going to bring you back to this land, because I won't ever leave you until I've accomplished what I've promised about you."

And he asked them, “Is it well with him?” And they said, “He is doing well; look, here comes his daughter Rachel with the sheep!”

While he was still speaking to them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she was a shepherdess.

And Jacob told Rachel that he was a brother of her father, and that he was Rebecca's son; and she ran and told her father.

And Jacob loved her well, and said, "I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy youngest daughter."

And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.

And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they were in his eyes as single days, because he loved her.

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

And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in to her.

And Laban gave to her Zilpah, his maidservant, to be maidservant to Leah his daughter.

"It is not our custom here," Laban replied, "to give the younger daughter in marriage before the firstborn.

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 to Rachel his daughter, Bilhah, his maidservant, to be her maidservant.

So Jacob consummated his marriage and lived with Rachel [as his wife], and he loved Rachel more than Leah, and he served with Laban for another seven years.

And when Jehovah saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.

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

That made Jacob angry with Rachel, so he asked her, "Can I take God's place, who has not allowed you to conceive?"

And she said, Behold, there is my maid, Bilhah: go in to her, in order that she may bear on my knees, and I may also be built up by her.

And she gave him Bilhah her maidservant as wife, and Jacob went in to her.

And Rachel said, I have had a great fight with my sister, and I have overcome her: and she gave the child the name Naphtali.

And when Leah saw that she had ceased to bear, she took Zilpah her maidservant and gave her to Jacob as wife.

Zilpah, Leah’s maid, gave birth to a second son for Jacob.

Now at the time of the grain-cutting, Reuben saw some love-fruits in the field, and took them to his mother Leah. And Rachel said to her, Let me have some of your son's love-fruits.

And she said to her, Is it too little that thou hast taken my husband, that thou wilt take my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to-night for thy son's mandrakes.

And when Jacob came from the fields in the evening, Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in to me, for indeed I have hired thee with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.

God listened and answered [the prayer of] Leah, and she conceived and gave birth to a fifth son for Jacob.

Then Leah said, God has made payment to me for giving my servant-girl to my husband: so she gave her son the name Issachar.

Leah conceived again and gave birth to a sixth son for Jacob.

And afterwards she bore a daughter, and called her name Dinah.

And God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and opened her womb.

Laban said to him, "If now I have found favor in your eyes, stay here, for I have divined that the LORD has blessed me for your sake."

What you had previously was only a few head, but the herd has now multiplied, because the LORD has blessed you through my efforts. But now, when am I going to be able to provide for my own household?"

Jacob kept the lambs separate, facing the striped and entirely black ones that belonged to Laban's flock. He set his own herd by itself and would not let them be with Laban's flock.

And the Angel of God said to me in a dream, Jacob! And I said, Here am I.

And Laban had gone to shear his sheep. And Rachel stole the teraphim that belonged to her father.

The one with whom you find your gods shall not live; in the presence of our relatives [search my possessions and] point out whatever you find that belongs to you and take it.” For Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen the idols.

Now Rachel, had taken the household gods and put them in the basket-saddle of the camel, and taken her seat upon them. And Laban felt about throughout all the tent, and found them not.

And she said to her father, Let it not be an occasion of anger in the eyes of my lord that I cannot rise up before thee, for it is with me after the manner of women. And he searched carefully, but did not find the teraphim.

Whereas thou hast explored all my baggage, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? Set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, and let them decide between us both.

Here to me twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy sheep; and thou wilt change my hire ten portions.

that thou shalt not vex my daughters neither shalt take other wives unto them. Here is no man with us: behold, God is witness betwixt thee and me."

"Look!" Laban added, "Here is the stack of stones and here is the pillar that I've set up between you and me.

and Jacob feareth exceedingly, and is distressed, and he divideth the people who are with him, and the flock, and the herd, and the camels, into two camps,

He delivered them into the hands of his servants, every herd by itself, and said to his servants, "Pass over before me, and put a space between herd and herd."

He instructed the servant leading the first herd, "When my brother Esau meets you and asks, 'To whom do you belong? Where are you going? Whose herds are you driving?'

and he put the maidservants and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindmost.

And Leah also, with her children, drew near, and they bowed. And lastly Joseph drew near, and Rachel, and they bowed.

Jacob replied, “My lord knows that the children are weak, and I have nursing sheep and cattle. If they are driven hard for one day, the whole herd will die.

And when Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and humbled her.

But his soul longed for and clung to Dinah daughter of Jacob, and he loved the girl and spoke comfortingly to her young heart’s wishes.

And Hamor spoke to them, saying, My son Shechem's soul cleaves to your daughter: I pray you, give her to him as wife.

Live with us. The land is before you. Settle here, move about, and acquire property in it.”
