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.

ISAAC’S WELLS AND COVENANT

The Philistines had stopped up the wells which Abraham had dug—an unfriendly act signifying that the newcomers were not welcome. Strife ensued with the Philistines at Esek (contention) and Sitnah (enmity).

GOD’S PROMISE TO ISAAC

And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

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.

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.

ABRAHAM READY TO OFFER ISAAC

God said, “Take now your son, your only son [of promise], whom you love, Isaac, and go to the region of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.”
