27:27So he came near and kissed him; and when Isaac smelled the smell of his garments, he blessed him and said, See, the smell of my son- / Like the smell of a field / Which Jehovah has blessed. Compare
27:28And may God give you / Of the dew of heaven and of the fatness of the earth, / And an abundance of grain and new wine. Compare
27:29Let peoples serve you, / And nations bow down to you. / Be lord over your brothers, / And let your mother's sons bow down to you. / Cursed be those who curse you, / And blessed be those who bless you. Compare
27:30And as soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, when Jacob had just gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting. Compare
27:31And he also had prepared a tasty meal and brought it to his father. And he said to his father, Let my father rise up, and eat some of his son's game, that you may bless me. Compare
27:32And Isaac his father said to him, Who are you? And he said, I am your son, your firstborn, Esau. Compare
27:33And Isaac trembled very greatly and said, Who was it then who hunted game and brought it to me, so that I ate of it all before you came and blessed him? And blessed will he be. Compare
27:34When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a very great and bitter cry and said to his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father. Compare
27:35And he said, Your brother came deceitfully and has taken away your blessing. Compare
27:36And Esau said, Is he not rightly named Jacob, for he has supplanted me these two times? He took away my birthright, and behold now he has taken away my blessing. Then he said, Have you not reserved a blessing for me? Compare
27:37And Isaac answered and said to Esau, I have already made him your lord, and all his brothers I have given to him for servants; and with grain and new wine I have sustained him. And what then shall I do for you, my son? Compare
27:38And Esau said to his father, Do you have only one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice and wept. Compare
27:39And Isaac his father answered and said to him, Behold, by the fatness of the earth shall your dwelling be, / And by the dew of heaven from above. Compare
27:40Yet by your sword shall you live, / And you shall serve your brother. / And when you become restless, / You shall break his yoke from off your neck. Compare
27:41And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him; and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are near; then I will slay my brother Jacob. Compare
27:42And the words of Esau her older son were told to Rebekah, so she sent and called Jacob her younger son and said to him, Now your brother Esau is consoling himself concerning you by planning to kill you. Compare
27:43Therefore, my son, obey my voice now, and rise up; flee to Laban my brother at Haran, Compare
27:44And stay with him a few days, until your brother's fury turns away, Compare
27:45Until your brother's anger turns away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him; then I will send word and bring you back from there. Why should I be bereaved of both of you in one day? Compare
27:46And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth like these, from the daughters of the land, what good will my life be to me? Compare
28:1And Isaac called Jacob and blessed him; and he charged him and said to him, You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan. Compare
28:2Rise up, go to Paddan-aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother's father; and take from there a wife from the daughters of Laban your mother's brother. Compare
28:3And may the All-sufficient God bless you and make you fruitful and multiply you, that you may become a company of peoples. Compare
28:4And may He give you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your seed with you, that you may possess this land of your sojournings, which God gave to Abraham. Compare
28:5And Isaac sent Jacob away, and he went to Paddan-aram, to Laban the son of Bethuel the Aramaean, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother. Compare
28:6Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and had sent him away to Paddan-aram to take a wife from there, and that when he blessed him, he charged him, saying, You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan, Compare
28:7And that Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother and had gone to Paddan-aram. Compare

28:10And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba and went toward Haran. Compare
28:11And he came to a certain place and spent the night there, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of the place and put it under his head, and he lay down in that place. Compare
28:12And he dreamed that there was a ladder set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. Compare
28:13And there was Jehovah, standing above it; and He said, I am Jehovah, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac. The land on which you lie, I will give to you and to your seed. Compare
28:14And your seed will be as the dust of the earth, and you will spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south, and in you and in your seed will all the families of the earth be blessed. Compare
28:15And, behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go and will cause you to return to this land, for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you. Compare
28:16And Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, Surely Jehovah is in this place, and I did not know it. Compare
28:17And he was afraid and said, How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven. Compare
28:18And Jacob rose up early in the morning and took the stone that he had put under his head, and he set it up as a pillar and poured oil on top of it. Compare
28:19And he called the name of that place Bethel, but the name of the city was Luz previously. Compare
28:20And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me and will keep me in this way that I go and will give me bread to eat and garments to put on, Compare
28:21So that I return to my father's house in peace, then Jehovah will be my God, Compare
28:22And this stone, which I have set up as a pillar, will be God's house; and of all that You give me I will surely give one tenth to You. Compare
29:1Then Jacob went on his journey and came to the land of the children of the east. Compare
29:2And he looked, and there in the field was a well, and there three flocks of sheep were lying beside it; for from that well they watered the flocks. And the stone on the mouth of the well was large. Compare
29:3And when all the flocks would gather there, they would roll the stone from the mouth of the well and water the sheep; then they would put the stone back on the mouth of the well in its place. Compare
29:4And Jacob said to them, My brothers, where are you from? And they said, We are from Haran. Compare
29:5And he said to them, Do you know Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We do know him. Compare
29:6And he said to them, Is it well with him? And they said, It is well, and here is his daughter Rachel, coming with the sheep. Compare
29:7And he said, Look, it is still full day; and it is not time for the livestock to be gathered together. Water the sheep, and go feed them. Compare
29:8And they said, We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together and they roll the stone from the mouth of the well; then we water the sheep. Compare
29:9While he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with the sheep which belonged to her father, for she was a shepherdess. Compare
29:10Now when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, Jacob drew near and rolled the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother. Compare
29:11Then Jacob kissed Rachel and lifted up his voice and wept. Compare
29:12And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's relative and that he was Rebekah's son. And she ran and told her father. Compare
29:13And when Laban heard the news of Jacob his sister's son, he ran to meet him. And he embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his house. Then Jacob related to Laban all these things. Compare
29:14And Laban said to him, Surely you are my bone and my flesh. And he stayed with him a month. Compare
29:15And Laban said to Jacob, Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall your wages be? Compare
29:16Now Laban had two daughters; the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. Compare
29:17And Leah's eyes were dull, but Rachel was beautiful in form and beautiful in appearance. Compare
29:18And Jacob loved Rachel. And he said, I will serve you seven years for Rachel your younger daughter. Compare
29:19And Laban said, It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to another man; stay with me. Compare
29:20And Jacob served seven years for Rachel, but they seemed to him only a few days because of the love he had for her. Compare
29:21Then Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife that I may go in to her, for my time is completed. Compare
29:22And Laban gathered together all the men of the place and made a feast. Compare
29:23But in the evening he took Leah his daughter and brought her to him, and he went in to her. Compare
29:24And Laban gave Zilpah his female servant to his daughter Leah to be her female servant. Compare
29:25And in the morning there she was, Leah! And he said to Laban, What is this you have done to me? Did I not serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me? Compare
29:26And Laban said, It is not done in this way in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn. Compare
29:27Complete the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which you will serve with me for another seven years. Compare
29:28And Jacob did so and completed her week, and he gave him Rachel his daughter as a wife. Compare
29:29And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his female servant to be her female servant. Compare
29:30And he went in also to Rachel and also loved Rachel rather than Leah. And he served with Laban for another seven years. Compare
