01:025:031 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
01:025:032 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what
profit shall this birthright do to me?
01:025:033 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him:
and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
01:025:034 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he
did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised
his birthright.
01:026:001 And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine
that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of
the Philistines unto Gerar.
01:026:002 And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into
Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:
01:026:003 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 sware unto Abraham thy
father;
01:026:004 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven,
and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall
all the nations of the earth be blessed;
01:026:005 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my
commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
01:026:006 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
01:026:007 And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said,
She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he,
the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair
to look upon.
01:026:008 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time,
that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw,
and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.
01:026:009 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety
she is thy wife; and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said
unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.
01:026:010 And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one
of the people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest
have brought guiltiness upon us.
01:026:011 And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that
toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
01:026:012 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year
an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.
01:026:013 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he
became very great:
01:026:014 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds,
and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
01:026:015 For all the wells which his father's servants had digged in
the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and
filled them with earth.
01:026:016 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much
mightier than we.
01:026:017 And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the
valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
