After this, Abraham buried his wife Sarah in the cave of the field at Machpelah near Mamre (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan.
“The LORD, the God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house and from my native land, who spoke to me and swore to me, ‘I will give this land to your offspring’[fn] — he will send his angel before you, and you can take a wife for my son from there.
“LORD, God of my master Abraham,” he prayed, “make this happen for me today, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
A meal was set before him, but he said, “I will not eat until I have said what I have to say.”
So Laban said, “Please speak.”
“He said to me, ‘The LORD before whom I have walked will send his angel with you and make your journey a success, and you will take a wife for my son from my clan and from my father’s family.
“Rebekah is here in front of you. Take her and go, and let her be a wife for your master’s son, just as the LORD has spoken.”
His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah near Mamre, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hethite.
“‘Bring me game and make a delicious meal for me to eat so that I can bless you in the LORD’s presence before I die.’
But Isaac said to his son, “How did you ever find it so quickly, my son? ”
He replied, “Because the LORD your God made it happen for me.”
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 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? ”
Laban answered, “It is not the custom in our country to give the younger daughter in marriage before the firstborn.
“For you had very little before I came, but now your wealth has increased. The LORD has blessed you because of me. And now, when will I also do something for my own family? ”
“In the future when you come to check on my wages, my honesty will testify for me. If I have any female goats that are not speckled or spotted, or any lambs that are not black, they will be considered stolen.”
Jacob separated the lambs and made the flocks face the streaked sheep and the completely dark sheep in Laban’s flocks. Then he set his own stock apart and didn’t put them with Laban’s sheep.
And Jacob saw from Laban’s face that his attitude toward him was not the same as before.
He said to them, “I can see from your father’s face that his attitude toward me is not the same as before, but the God of my father has been with me.
He fled with all his possessions, crossed the Euphrates, and headed for[fn] the hill country of Gilead.
She said to her father, “Don’t be angry, my lord, that I cannot stand up in your presence; I am having my period.” So Laban searched, but could not find the household idols.
Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to his brother Esau in the land of Seir, the territory of Edom.
He entrusted them to his slaves as separate herds and said to them, “Go on ahead of me, and leave some distance between the herds.”
And he told the first one, “When my brother Esau meets you and asks, ‘Who do you belong to? Where are you going? And whose animals are these ahead of you? ’
“You are also to say, ‘Look, your servant Jacob is right behind us.’ ” For he thought, “I want to appease Esau with the gift that is going ahead of me. After that, I can face him, and perhaps he will forgive me.”
Jacob then named the place Peniel,[fn] “For I have seen God face to face,” he said, “yet my life has been spared.”
He himself went on ahead and bowed to the ground seven times until he approached his brother.
But Jacob said, “No, please! If I have found favor with you, take this gift from me. For indeed, I have seen your face, and it is like seeing God’s face, since you have accepted me.
“Let my lord go ahead of his servant. I will continue on slowly, at a pace suited to the livestock and the children, until I come to my lord at Seir.”
After Jacob came from Paddan-aram, he arrived safely at Shechem in the land of Canaan and camped in front of the city.
“Live with us. The land is before you. Settle here, move about, and acquire property in it.”
“These men are peaceful toward us,” they said. “Let them live in our land and move about in it, for indeed, the region is large enough for them. Let’s take their daughters as our wives and give our daughters to them.
God said to Jacob, “Get up! Go to Bethel and settle there. Build an altar there to the God who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau.”
Jacob built an altar there and called the place El-bethel[fn] because it was there that God had revealed himself to him when he was fleeing from his brother.
Esau took his wives, sons, daughters, and all the people of his household, as well as his herds, all his livestock, and all the property he had acquired in Canaan; he went to a land away from his brother Jacob.
For their possessions were too many for them to live together, and because of their herds, the land where they stayed could not support them.
These are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom
before any king reigned over the Israelites:
So he asked Pharaoh’s officers who were in custody with him in his master’s house, “Why do you look so sad today? ”
So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph: “In my dream there was a vine in front of me.
“The abundance in the land will not be remembered because of the famine that follows it, for the famine will be very severe.
He had Joseph ride in his second chariot, and servants called out before him, “Make way! ”[fn] So he placed him over all the land of Egypt.
Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Joseph left Pharaoh’s presence and traveled throughout the land of Egypt.
Now the famine had spread across the whole region, so Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold grain to the Egyptians, for the famine was severe in the land of Egypt.
But Judah said to him, “The man specifically warned us, ‘You will not see me again unless your brother is with you.’
“But if you will not send him, we will not go, for the man said to us, ‘You will not see me again unless your brother is with you.’ ”
“I will be responsible for him. You can hold me personally accountable![fn] If I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, I will be guilty before you forever.
“May God Almighty cause the man to be merciful to you so that he will release your other brother and Benjamin to you. As for me, if I am deprived of my sons, then I am deprived.”
