Genesis 27-28 selective verses
As
soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, when Jacob had scarcely gone out from
the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting. 31
He also prepared delicious food and brought it to his father. And he said to
his father, “Let my father arise and eat of his son's game, that you may bless
me.” 32 His father Isaac said to him, “Who are you?” He answered, “I am your
son, your firstborn, Esau.” 33 Then Isaac trembled very violently and said,
“Who was it then that hunted game and brought it to me, and I ate it all before
you came, and I have blessed him? Yes, and he shall be blessed.” 34 As soon as
Esau heard the words of his father, he cried out with an exceedingly great and
bitter cry and said to his father, “Bless me, even me also, O my father!” 35
But he said, “Your brother came deceitfully, and he has taken away your
blessing.” “Behold, away from the fatness of the earth shall your dwelling
be, and away from the dew of heaven on
high. 40 By your sword you shall live, and you shall serve your brother; but
when you grow restless you shall break his yoke from your neck.”
41 Now Esau hated Jacob
because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him, and Esau said to
himself, “The days of mourning for my father are approaching; then I will kill
my brother Jacob.” 42 But the words of Esau her older son were told to Rebekah.
So she sent and called Jacob her younger son and said to him, “Behold, your
brother Esau comforts himself about you by planning to kill you. 43 Now
therefore, my son, obey my voice. Arise, flee to Laban my brother in
Haran."
28 Then Isaac called
Jacob and blessed him. 4 May he give the blessing of Abraham to you and to your
offspring with you, that you may take. 10 Jacob left Beersheba and went toward
Haran. 11 And he came to a certain place and stayed there that night, because
the sun had set. Taking one of the stones of the place, he put it under his
head and lay down in that place to sleep. 12 And he dreamed, and behold, there
was a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven. And
behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it! 13 And behold,
the Lord stood above it and said, “I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your
father and the God of Isaac. The land on which you lie I will give to you and
to your offspring. 14 Your offspring shall be like the dust of the earth, and
you shall spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the
south, and in you and your offspring shall all the families of the earth be
blessed. 15 Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will
bring you back to this land. For I will not leave you until I have done what I
have promised you.” 16 Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the
Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.” 17 And he was afraid and said,
“How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this
is the gate of heaven.”
18 So early in the
morning Jacob took the stone that he had put under his head and set it up for a
pillar and poured oil on the top of it. 19 He called the name of that place
Bethel, but the name of the city was Luz at the first. 20 Then Jacob made a
vow, saying, “If God will be with me and will keep me in this way that I go,
and will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear, 21 so that I come again to
my father's house in peace, then the Lord shall be my God, 22 and this stone,
which I have set up for a pillar, shall be God's house. And of all that you
give me I will give a full tenth to you.”
