And early in the morning they took an oath one to the other: then Isaac sent them away and they went on their way in peace.

And Esau said to Jacob, Give me a full meal of that red soup, for I am overcome with need for food: for this reason he was named Edom.

And from there he went on to Beer-sheba.

For he had great wealth of flocks and herds and great numbers of servants; so that the Philistines were full of envy.

And when Esau was forty years old, he took as his wives Judith, the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon the Hittite:

Now Isaac's words to his son were said in Rebekah's hearing. Then Esau went out to get the meat.

Then he went away from there, and made another water-hole, about which there was no fighting: so he gave it the name of Rehoboth, for he said, Now the Lord has made room for us, and we will have fruit in this land.

Now when Isaac was old and his eyes had become clouded so that he was not able to see, he sent for Esau, his first son, and said to him, My son: and he said, Here am I.

And Abimelech had come to him from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his friend and Phicol, the captain of his army.

Keep in this land, and I will be with you and give you my blessing; for to you and to your seed will I give all these lands, giving effect to the oath which I made to your father Abraham;

And Esau said, Truly, I am at the point of death: what profit is the birthright to me?

Now Isaac, planting seed in that land, got in the same year fruit a hundred times as much, for the blessing of the Lord was on him.

And Jacob said, First of all give me your oath; and he gave him his oath, handing over his birthright to Jacob.

Go to the flock and get me two fat young goats; and I will make of them a meal to your father's taste:

So Isaac went on living in Gerar;

And he said, See now, I am old, and my death may take place at any time:

And Abimelech gave orders to his people that anyone touching Isaac or his wife was to be put to death.

And he made again the water-holes which had been made in the days of Abraham his father, and which had been stopped up by the Philistines; and he gave them the names which his father had given them.

I will make your seed like the stars of heaven in number, and will give them all these lands, and your seed will be a blessing to all the nations of the earth;

Then Abimelech said, What have you done to us? one of the people might well have had connection with your wife, and the sin would have been ours.

Now all the water-holes, which his father's servants had made in the days of Abraham, had been stopped up with earth by the Philistines.

And when he had been there for some time, Abimelech, king of the Philistines, looking through a window, saw Isaac playing with Rebekah his wife.

And make me food, good to the taste, such as is pleasing to me, and put it before me, so that I may have a meal and give you my blessing before death comes to me.

Now, my son, do what I say.

Genesis 26

And Jacob said, First of all give me your birthright.

So take your arrows and your bow and go out to the field and get meat for me;

So Isaac went away from there, and put up his tents in the valley of Gerar, making his living-place there.

And they said, We saw clearly that the Lord was with you: so we said, Let there be an oath between us and you, and let us make an agreement with you;

And his wealth became very great, increasing more and more;
