¹ And there fell a dearth in the land, passing the first dearth that fell in the days of Abraham. Wherefore Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines, unto Gerar. ² Then the LORD appeared unto him and said, "Go not down into Egypt, but bide in the land which I say unto thee: ³ Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee: for unto thee and unto thy seed I will give all these countries. And I will perform the oath which I swore unto Abraham thy father, ⁴ and will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries. And through thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, ⁵ because that Abraham hearkened unto my voice and kept mine ordinances, commandments, statutes and laws." ⁶ And Isaac dwelled in Gerar. ⁷ And the men of the place asked him of his wife, and he said that she was his sister: for he feared to call her his wife lest the men of the place should have killed him for her sake, because she was beautiful to the eye. ⁸ And it happened after he had been there long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw Isaac sporting with Rebekah his wife. ⁹ And Abimelech sent for Isaac and said, "See, she is of a surety thy wife, and why saidest thou that she was thy sister?" And Isaac said unto him, "I thought that I might peradventure have died for her sake." ¹⁰ Then said Abimelech, "Why hast thou done this unto us? One of the people might lightly have lain by thy wife and so shouldest thou have brought sin upon us." ¹¹ Then Abimelech charged all his people saying, "He that toucheth this man or his wife, shall surely die for it." ¹² And Isaac sowed in the land, and found in the same year a hundred bushels; for the LORD blessed him. ¹³ And the man waxed mighty, and went forth and grew till he was exceeding great, ¹⁴ that he had possession of sheep, of oxen, and a mighty household; so that the Philistines had envy at him, ¹⁵ insomuch that they stopped, and filled up with earth, all the wells which his father's servants digged in his father Abraham's time. ¹⁶ Then said Abimelech unto Isaac, "Get thee from me, for thou art mightier than we a great deal." ¹⁷ Then Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley Gerar and dwelt there. ¹⁸ And Isaac digged again, the wells of water which they digged in the days of Abraham his father which the Philistines had stopped after the death of Abraham, and gave them the same names which his father gave them. ¹⁹ As Isaac's servants digged in the valley, they found a well of springing water. ²⁰ And the herdsmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, "The water is ours." Then called he the well Esek, because they strove with him. ²¹ Then digged they another well, and they strove for that also. Therefore called he it Sitnah. ²² And then he departed thence, and digged another well for the which they strove not: therefore called he it Rehoboth, saying, "The LORD hath now made us room, and we are increased upon the earth." ²³ Afterward departed he thence and came to Beersheba. ²⁴ And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, "I am the God of Abraham thy father. Fear not; for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake." ²⁵ And then he built an altar there and called upon the name of the LORD, and there pitched his tent. And there Isaac's servants digged a well. ²⁶ Then came Abimelech to him from Gerar; and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol his chief captain. ²⁷ And Isaac said unto them, "Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me and have put me away from you?" ²⁸ Then said they, "We saw that the LORD was with thee, and therefore we said that there should be an oath betwixt us and thee, and that we would make a bond with thee: ²⁹ that thou shouldest do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and have done unto thee nothing but good, and send thee away in peace: for thou art now the blessed of the LORD." ³⁰ And he made them a feast, and they ate and drank. ³¹ And they rose up betimes in the morning and sware one to another. And Isaac sent them away. And they departed from him in peace. ³² And the same day came Isaac's servants, and told him of a well which they had digged: and said unto him, that they had found water. ³³ And he called it Sheba, wherefore the name of the city is called Beersheba unto this day. ³⁴ When Esau was forty years old, he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri, an Hittite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon, an Hittite also, ³⁵ which were disobedient unto Isaac and Rebekah.

But that thou shalt deal with me and the country where thou art a stranger, according unto the kindness that I have showed thee." ²⁴ Then said Abraham, "I will swear." ²⁵ And Abraham rebuked Abimelech for a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had taken away. ²⁶ And Abimelech answered, "I wist not who did it: Also thou toldest me not, neither heard I of it, but this day." ²⁷ And Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them unto Abimelech. And they made both of them a bond together. ²⁸ And Abraham set seven lambs by themselves. ²⁹ And Abimelech said unto Abraham, "What mean these seven lambs which thou hast set by themselves?" ³⁰ And he answered, "Seven lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that it may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well." ³¹ Wherefore the place is called Beersheba, because they sware both of them. ³² Thus made they a bond together at Beersheba.

In the time appointed will I return unto thee, as soon as the fruit can have life. And Sara shall have a son." ¹⁵ Then Sara denied it, saying, "I laughed not." For she was afraid.

⁴ and unto the place of the altar which he made before. And there called Abram upon the name, of the LORD.

¹⁸ Then Abram took down his tent, and went and dwelled in the oak grove of Mamre, which is in Hebron; and built there an altar to the LORD.

⁷ And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, "Did not ye hate me and expel me out of my father's house? How happeneth it then that you come unto me now in time of your tribulation?"

⁹ And the patriarchs, having indignation, sold Joseph into Egypt, and God was with him,

¹⁴ Then sent Joseph and caused his father to be brought, and all his kin: three score and fifteen souls.

²⁷ But he that did his neighbour wrong, thrust him away saying, 'Who made thee a ruler and a judge among us?

³⁵ This Moses whom they forsook, saying, 'Who made thee a ruler and a judge?' — the same God sent, both a ruler and a deliverer, by the hands of the angel which appeared to him in the bush.

⁴¹ But and if, when thou comest unto my kindred, they will not give thee one; then shalt thou bear no peril of mine oath.'

⁴⁹ "And this toot-hill which the LORD seeth," said he, "be witness between me and thee when we are departed one from another: ⁵⁰ that thou shalt not vex my daughters neither shalt take other wives unto them. Here is no man with us: behold, God is witness betwixt thee and me." ⁵¹ And Laban said moreover to Jacob, "Behold, this heap and this mark which I have set here, betwixt me and thee: ⁵² this heap be witness and also this mark, that I will not come over this heap to thee, and thou shalt not come over this heap and this mark, to do any harm. ⁵³ The God of Abraham, the God of Nahor, and the God of their fathers, be judge betwixt us." And Jacob sware by him that his father Isaac feared.

⁵ And as soon as he had made him ruler over his house and over all that he had, the LORD blessed this Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake, and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had: both in the house and also in the fields.

⁷ And the LORD said unto Joshua, "This day will I begin to magnify thee, in the sight of all Israel, that they may know how that as I was with Moses, so will I be with thee.

¹⁴ The LORD hath said moreover: The occupiers of Egypt, the merchants of the Ethiopians and Sabees, shall come unto thee with tribute; they shall be thine, they shall follow thee, and go with chains upon their feet. They shall fall down before thee, and make supplication unto thee. For God, without whom there is none other God, shall be with thee.

⁶ But ye shall be named the priests of the LORD, and men shall call you the servants of our God. Ye shall enjoy the goods of the Gentiles and triumph in their substance.

⁹ Their seed also and their generation shall be known among the Gentiles, and among the people. All they that see them, shall know that they are the blessed seed of the LORD.

³ And he compelled them exceedingly. And they turned in unto him and entered into his house, and he made them a feast and did bake sweet cakes, and they ate.

⁸ The child grew and was weaned, and Abraham made a great feast, the same day that Isaac was weaned.

⁵⁴ Then Jacob did sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren to eat bread. And they ate bread and tarried all night in the hill.

¹⁴ And Abraham rose up early in the morning and took bread and a bottle with water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulders with the lad also, and sent her away. And she departed and wandered up and down in the wilderness of Beersheba.

²³ Now therefore swear unto me even here by God, that thou wilt not hurt me nor my children, nor my children's children. But that thou shalt deal with me and the country where thou art a stranger, according unto the kindness that I have showed thee."

³³ And Jacob said, "Swear to me then this day." And he swore to him and sold his birthright unto Jacob.

⁴⁴ Now therefore, come on, let us make a bond, I and thou together, and let it be a witness between thee and me."

⁵⁵ And early in the morning Laban rose up and kissed his children and his daughters, and blessed them and departed and went unto his place again.

²⁴ And the men of Israel joined themselves together that day: and Saul adjured the people, saying, "Cursed be he that eateth any food until night, that I may be avenged of mine enemies." And so there was none of the people that tasted any sustenance.

³ And David sware again and said, "Thy father knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes and therefore he thinketh, 'Jonathan shall not know it, lest he be sorry.' For in very deed even as truly as the LORD liveth, and as truly as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death."

¹⁶ And so Jonathan made a bond with the house of David, desiring that the LORD should seek, out of the hands of David's enemies, their wickedness. ¹⁷ And with other words Jonathan adjured David, because he loved him. For as his own soul he loved him.

¹⁵ And David said to him, "Canst thou bring me to this company?" And he said, "Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee unto them."

²⁵ And then he built an altar there and called upon the name of the LORD, and there pitched his tent. And there Isaac's servants digged a well.

⁴ If thou seekest after her as after money, and diggest for her as for treasures; ⁵ then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

⁴ An idle hand maketh poor; but a quick laboring hand maketh rich.

² Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan: Adah, the daughter of Elon an Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, which Anah was the son of Zibeon an Hivite;

⁵ And Aholibamah bare Jeush, Jalam and Korah. These are the sons of Esau which were born him in the land of Canaan.

¹³ And these are the sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah and Mizzah: these were the sons of Basemath Esau's wife.

¹⁶ And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and when their daughters go a whoring after their gods,

² Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his wife: and let every woman have her husband.

¹⁶ and that there be no fornicator, or unclean person, as Esau, which for one breakfast sold his birthright.

² the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair, and took unto them wives, which they best liked among them all.

⁴⁶ And Rebekah spake to Isaac, "I am weary of my life, for fear of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such one as these are, or of the daughters of the land, what lust should I have to live?"
