Gen.25.21

Isaac pleaded with the LORD to give Rebekah a child because she was childless. So the LORD answered Isaac's prayer, and his wife became pregnant with twins.

Gen.25.22

But the children tumbled and kicked inside her so much that she said, "If this is the way it's going to be, why go on living?" She went to GOD to find out what was going on.

Gen.25.22

The babies jostled each other within her, and she said, "Why is this happening to me?" So she went to inquire of the LORD.

But the children struggled together within her; and she said, "If all is well, why am I like this?|" So she went to inquire of the LORD.

But the two children struggled with each other in her womb. So she went to ask the LORD about it. "Why is this happening to me?" she asked.

And when the time came, the twins were born.

Gen.25.25

The first came out reddish, as if snugly wrapped in a hairy blanket; they named him Esau (Hairy).

Gen.25.25

The first to come out was red, and his whole body was like a hairy garment; so they named him Esau.

Gen.25.25

And the first came out red. He was like a hairy garment all over; so they called his name Esau.

Gen.25.25

The first was very red at birth. He was covered with so much hair that one would think he was wearing a piece of clothing. So they called him Esau.

Gen.25.26

His brother followed, his fist clutched tight to Esau's heel; they named him Jacob (Heel). Isaac was sixty years old when they were born.

After this, his brother came out, with his hand grasping Esau's heel; so he was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when Rebekah gave birth to them.

Gen.25.29

One day when Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau arrived home exhausted and hungry from a hunt.

Esau said to Jacob, "Give me some of that red stew--I'm starved!" That's how he came to be called Edom (Red).

Gen.25.30

He said to Jacob, "Quick, let me have some of that red stew! I'm famished!" (That is why he was also called Edom. )

Gen.25.30

And Esau said to Jacob, "Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am weary." Therefore his name was called Edom.

Gen.25.30

Esau said to Jacob, "I'm starved! Give me some of that red stew you've made." (This was how Esau got his other name, Edom--"Red.")

Gen.25.31

Jacob said, "Make me a trade: my stew for your rights as the firstborn."

Gen.25.31

Jacob replied, "First sell me your birthright."

Gen.25.31

But Jacob said, "Sell me your birthright as of this day."

Gen.25.31

Jacob replied, "All right, but trade me your birthright for it."

Gen.25.32

Esau said, "I'm starving! What good is a birthright if I'm dead?"

Gen.25.32

"Look, I am about to die," Esau said. "What good is the birthright to me?"

Gen.25.32

And Esau said, "Look, I am about to die; so what is this birthright to me?"

Gen.25.32

"Look, I'm dying of starvation!" said Esau. "What good is my birthright to me now?"

Gen.25.33

Jacob said, "First, swear to me." And he did it. On oath Esau traded away his rights as the firstborn.

Gen.25.33

But Jacob said, "Swear to me first." So he swore an oath to him, selling his birthright to Jacob.

Gen.25.33

Then Jacob said, "Swear to me as of this day." So he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob.

Gen.25.33

So Jacob insisted, "Well then, swear to me right now that it is mine." So Esau swore an oath, thereby selling all his rights as the firstborn to his younger brother.

Gen.25.34

Jacob gave him bread and the stew of lentils. He ate and drank, got up and left. That's how Esau shrugged off his rights as the firstborn. [JC]

Gen.25.34

Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and some lentil stew. He ate and drank, and then got up and left. So Esau despised his birthright.

Gen.25.34

And Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils; then he ate and drank, arose, and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.

Gen.25.34

Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and lentil stew. Esau ate and drank and went on about his business, indifferent to the fact that he had given up his birthright.

Gen.26.4

I will cause your descendants to become as numerous as the stars, and I will give them all these lands. And through your descendants all the nations of the earth will be blessed.

Gen.26.5

And why? Because Abraham obeyed my summons and kept my charge--my commands, my guidelines, my teachings."

Gen.26.5

because Abraham obeyed me and kept my requirements, my commands, my decrees and my laws."

Gen.26.5

because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws."

Gen.26.7

But some time later, Abimelech, king of the Philistines, looked out a window and saw Isaac fondling Rebekah.

Gen.26.9

Abimelech sent for Isaac and said, "So, she's your wife. Why did you tell us "She's my sister'?" Isaac said, "Because I thought I might get killed by someone who wanted her."

Gen.26.9

So Abimelech summoned Isaac and said, "She is really your wife! Why did you say, 'She is my sister'?" Isaac answered him, "Because I thought I might lose my life on account of her."

Gen.26.9

Then Abimelech called Isaac and said, "Quite obviously she is your wife; so how could you say, "She is my sister'?" Isaac said to him, "Because I said, "Lest I die on account of her.'|"

Gen.26.9

Abimelech called for Isaac and exclaimed, "She is obviously your wife! Why did you say she was your sister?Because I was afraid someone would kill me to get her from me," Isaac replied.

Gen.26.10

Abimelech said, "But think of what you might have done to us! Given a little more time, one of the men might have slept with your wife; you would have been responsible for bringing guilt down on us."

Gen.26.10

Then Abimelech said, "What is this you have done to us? One of the men might well have slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us."

Gen.26.10

And Abimelech said, "What is this you have done to us? One of the people might soon have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us."

Gen.26.10

"How could you treat us this way!" Abimelech exclaimed. "Someone might have taken your wife and slept with her, and you would have made us guilty of great sin."

Gen.26.11

Then Abimelech gave orders to his people: "Anyone who so much as lays a hand on this man or his wife dies."

Gen.26.11

So Abimelech gave orders to all the people: "Anyone who molests this man or his wife shall surely be put to death."

Gen.26.11

So Abimelech charged all his people, saying, "He who touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death."

They got back at him by throwing dirt and debris into all the wells that his father's servants had dug back in the days of his father Abraham, clogging up all the wells.

Gen.26.15

So all the wells that his father's servants had dug in the time of his father Abraham, the Philistines stopped up, filling them with earth.

Gen.26.15

Now the Philistines had stopped up all the wells which his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, and they had filled them with earth.

Gen.26.15

and they filled up all of Isaac's wells with earth. These were the wells that had been dug by the servants of his father, Abraham.

Gen.26.16

Finally, Abimelech told Isaac: "Leave. You've become far too big for us."

Gen.26.16

Then Abimelech said to Isaac, "Move away from us; you have become too powerful for us."

Gen.26.16

And Abimelech said to Isaac, "Go away from us, for you are much mightier than we."

Gen.26.16

And Abimelech asked Isaac to leave the country. "Go somewhere else," he said, "for you have become too rich and powerful for us."
