Genesis — Quovadisworld

JACOB SENT AWAY FROM HOME

Jacob Sent Away From Home. So Isaac called Jacob and blessed him and charged him, and said to him, “You shall not marry one of the women of Canaan.
Arise, go to Paddan-aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother’s father; and take from there as a wife for yourself one of the daughters of Laban your mother’s brother

ESAU’S GRIEF AND ANGER

So Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him; and Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are very near; then I will kill my brother Jacob.”

JACOB GETS ESAU’S BLESSING

So he went to his father and said, “My father.” And Isaac said, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?”
Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn; I have done what you told me to do. Now please, sit up and eat some of my game, so that you may bless me.”

REBEKAH PLANS TO CHEAT ISAAC

Then Rebekah took her elder son Esau’s best clothes, which were with her in her house, and put them on Jacob her younger son.
And she put the skins of the young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.
Then she gave her son Jacob the delicious meat and the bread which she had prepared.

THE BIRTH OF ESAU AND JACOB

The Birth of Esau and Jacob. And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD.
And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.

ABRAHAM’S DEATH AND BURIAL

And these are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.
Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.

REBEKAH MARRIES ISAAC AND BECAME HIS WIFE

And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.

ABRAHAM’S SERVANT FULFILLS HIS MISSION

And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master’s brother’s daughter unto his son.

REBEKAH MEETS ABRAHAM’S SERVANT

And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.

A WIFE SOUGHT FOR ISAAC

And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.
