Jacob heard that Laban's sons were saying, "Jacob has taken everything our father owned and has gained all this wealth from what belonged to our father." And Jacob noticed that Laban's attitude toward him was not what it had been. Then the LORD said to Jacob, "Go back to the land of your fathers and to your relatives, and I will be with you." So Jacob sent word to Rachel and Leah to come out to ..

When Rachel saw that she was not bearing Jacob any children, she became jealous of her sister. So she said to Jacob, "Give me children, or I'll die!" Jacob became angry with her and said, "Am I in the place of God, who has kept you from having children?" Then she said "Here is Bilhah, my maidservant. Sleep with her so that she can bear children for me and that through her I too can build a famil..

Then Jacob continued on his journey and came to the land of the eastern peoples. There he saw a well in the field, with three flocks of sheep lying near it because the flocks were watered from that well. The stone over the mouth of the well was large. When all the flocks were gathered there, the shepherds would roll the stone away from the well's mouth and water the sheep. Then they would return..

So Issac called for Jacob and blessed him and commanded him; "Do not marry a Canaanite woman. Go at once to Paddan Aram, to the house of your moher's father Bethuel. Take a wife for yourself there, from among the daughters of Laban, your mother's brother.

When Issac was old and his eyes were so weak that he could no longer see, he called for Esau his older son and said to him, "My son." "Here I am," he answered. Issac said, "I am now an old man and don't know the day of my death. Now then, get your weapons-your quiver and bow-and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me. Prepare me the kind of tasty food I like and bring it to me ..

Now there was a famine in the land-besides the earlier famine of Abraham's time-and Issac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines in Gerer. The LORD appeared to Issac and said, "Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land where I tell you to live. Stay in this land for a shile, and I will be with you and will bless you. For to you and your descendants I will give all these lands and will confirm..

Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah. She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak and Shuah. Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan; the descendants of Dedan were the Asshurites, the Letushites and the Leummites. The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida and Eldaah. All these were descendants of Keturah. Abraham left everything he owned to Issac. But while he wa..
