Page 1 / 7 (Gen 25:26–Gen 30:7)
After this, his brother came out grasping Esau’s heel with his hand. So he was named Jacob.[fn] Isaac was sixty years old when they were born.
He said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stuff, because I’m exhausted.” That is why he was also named Edom.[fn]
Jacob said, “Swear to me first.” So he swore to Jacob and sold his birthright to him.
Then Jacob gave bread and lentil stew to Esau; he ate, drank, got up, and went away. So Esau despised his birthright.
Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “Listen! I heard your father talking with your brother Esau. He said,
Jacob answered Rebekah his mother, “Look, my brother Esau is a hairy man, but I am a man with smooth skin.
Then Rebekah took the best clothes of her older son Esau, which were in the house, and had her younger son Jacob wear them.
Jacob replied to his father, “I am Esau, your firstborn. I have done as you told me. Please sit up and eat some of my game so that you may bless me.”
Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come closer so I can touch you, my son. Are you really my son Esau or not? ”
So Jacob came closer to his father Isaac. When he touched him, he said, “The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”
As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob and Jacob had left the presence of his father Isaac, his brother Esau arrived from his hunting.
So he said, “Isn’t he rightly named Jacob?[fn] For he has cheated me twice now. He took my birthright, and look, now he has taken my blessing.” Then he asked, “Haven’t you saved a blessing for me? ”
Esau held a grudge against Jacob because of the blessing his father had given him. And Esau determined in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are approaching; then I will kill my brother Jacob.”
When the words of her older son Esau were reported to Rebekah, she summoned her younger son Jacob and said to him, “Listen, your brother Esau is consoling himself by planning to kill you.
So Rebekah said to Isaac, “I’m sick of my life because of these Hethite girls. If Jacob marries someone from around here,[fn] like these Hethite girls, what good is my life? ”
So Isaac summoned Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, “Do not marry a Canaanite girl.
So Isaac sent Jacob to Paddan-aram, to Laban son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau.
Esau noticed that Isaac blessed Jacob and sent him to Paddan-aram to get a wife there. When he blessed him, Isaac commanded Jacob, “Do not marry a Canaanite girl.”
When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it.”
Early in the morning Jacob took the stone that was near his head and set it up as a marker. He poured oil on top of it
Then Jacob made a vow: “If God will be with me and watch over me during this journey I’m making, if he provides me with food to eat and clothing to wear,
Jacob asked the men at the well, “My brothers! Where are you from? ”
“We’re from Haran,” they answered.
Then Jacob said, “Look, it is still broad daylight. It’s not time for the animals to be gathered. Water the flock, then go out and let them graze.”
As soon as Jacob saw his uncle Laban’s daughter Rachel with his sheep,[fn] he went up and rolled the stone from the opening and watered his uncle Laban’s sheep.
When Laban heard the news about his sister’s son Jacob, he ran to meet him, hugged him, and kissed him. Then he took him to his house, and Jacob told him all that had happened.
Laban said to him, “Just because you’re my relative, should you work for me for nothing? Tell me what your wages should be.”
Jacob loved Rachel, so he answered Laban, “I’ll work for you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.”
So Jacob worked seven years for Rachel, and they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her.
Then Jacob said to Laban, “Since my time is complete, give me my wife, so I can sleep with[fn] her.”
That evening, Laban took his daughter Leah and gave her to Jacob, and he slept with her.
When morning came, there was Leah! So he said to Laban, “What have you done to me? Wasn’t it for Rachel that I worked for you? Why have you deceived me? ”
And Jacob did just that. He finished the week of celebration, and Laban gave him his daughter Rachel as his wife.
Leah conceived, gave birth to a son, and named him Reuben,[fn] for she said, “The LORD has seen my affliction; surely my husband will love me now.”
She conceived again, gave birth to a son, and said, “The LORD heard that I am neglected and has given me this son also.” So she named him Simeon.[fn]
When Rachel saw that she was not bearing Jacob any children, she envied her sister. “Give me sons, or I will die! ” she said to Jacob.
Jacob became angry with Rachel and said, “Am I in the place of God? He has withheld offspring[fn] from you! ”
Then she said, “Here is my maid Bilhah. Go sleep with her, and she’ll bear children for me[fn] so that through her I too can build a family.”
