Genesis 25

 ¹And Abraham took another wife named Keturah.

 ²And she bore him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.

 ³And Jokshan begot Sheba and Dedan; and the sons of Dedan were the Asshurim, and the Letushim, and the Leummim.

 ⁴And the sons of Midian were Ephah, and Epher, and Enoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were sons of Keturah.

 ⁵And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac.

 ⁶And to the sons of the concubines that Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and, while he yet lived, sent them away from Isaac his son, eastward to the east country.

 ⁷And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived: a hundred and seventy-five years.

 ⁸And Abraham expired and died in a good old age, old and full [of days]; and was gathered to his peoples.

 ⁹And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which was opposite to Mamre --

 ¹⁰the field that Abraham had purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.

 ¹¹And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac dwelt at Beer-lahai-roi.

 ¹²And these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's bondwoman, bore to Abraham.

 ¹³And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael by their names according to their generations: Nebaioth, the firstborn of Ishmael; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,

 ¹⁴and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,

 ¹⁵Hadad and Tema, Jetur, Naphish and Kedmah.

 ¹⁶These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, in their hamlets and their encampments -- twelve princes of their peoples.

 ¹⁷And these are the years of the life of Ishmael: a hundred and thirty-seven years; and he expired and died, and was gathered to his peoples.

 ¹⁸And they dwelt from Havilah to Shur, which is opposite to Egypt, as one goes towards Assyria. He settled before the face of all his brethren.

 ¹⁹And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham begot Isaac.

 ²⁰And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebecca as wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian.

 ²¹And Isaac entreated Jehovah for his wife, because she was barren; and Jehovah was entreated of him, and Rebecca his wife conceived.

 ²²And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If [it be] so, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of Jehovah.

 ²³And Jehovah said to her, Two nations are in thy womb, And two peoples shall be separated from thy bowels; And one people shall be stronger than the other people, And the elder shall serve the younger.

 ²⁴And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.

 ²⁵And the first came out red -- all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.

 ²⁶And after that came his brother out; and his hand took hold of Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when they were born.

 ²⁷And the boys grew, and Esau became a man skilled in hunting, a man of the field; and Jacob was a homely man, dwelling in tents.

 ²⁸And Isaac loved Esau, because venison was to his taste; and Rebecca loved Jacob.

 ²⁹And Jacob had cooked a dish; and Esau came from the field, and he was faint.

 ³⁰And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with the red -- the red thing there, for I am faint. Therefore was his name called Edom.

 ³¹And Jacob said, Sell me now thy birthright.

 ³²And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die, and of what use can the birthright be to me?

 ³³And Jacob said, Swear unto me now. And he swore unto him, and sold his birthright to Jacob.

 ³⁴And Jacob gave Esau bread and the dish of lentils; and he ate and drank, and rose up and went away. Thus Esau despised the birthright.

Genesis 26

 ¹And there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine which had been in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech the king of the Philistines, to Gerar.

 ²And Jehovah appeared to him and said, Go not down to Egypt: dwell in the land that I shall tell thee of.

 ³Sojourn in this land; and I will be with thee and 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.

 ⁴And I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and unto thy seed will I give all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves --

 ⁵because that Abraham hearkened to my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

 ⁶And Isaac dwelt at Gerar.

 ⁷And the men of the place asked about his wife. And he said, She is my sister; for he feared to say, my wife, [saying to himself,] Lest the men of the place slay me on account of Rebecca -- because she was fair in countenance.

 ⁸And it came to pass when he had been there some time, that Abimelech the king of the Philistines looked out of the window, and saw, and behold, Isaac was dallying with Rebecca his wife.

 ⁹Then Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, she is certainly thy wife; and how saidst thou, She is my sister? and Isaac said to him, Because I said, Lest I die on account of her.

 ¹⁰And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done to us? But a little and one of the people might have lain with thy wife, and thou wouldest have brought a trespass on us.

 ¹¹And Abimelech charged all the people, saying, He that touches this man or his wife shall certainly be put to death.

 ¹²And Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year a hundredfold; and Jehovah blessed him.

 ¹³And the man became great, and he became continually greater, until he was very great.

 ¹⁴And he had possessions of flocks, and possessions of herds, and a great number of servants; and the Philistines envied him.

 ¹⁵And all the wells that his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped them and filled them with earth.

 ¹⁶And Abimelech said to Isaac, Go from us; for thou art become much mightier than we.

 ¹⁷And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his camp in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.

 ¹⁸And Isaac dug again the wells of water that they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, and that the Philistines had stopped after the death of Abraham; and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.

 ¹⁹And Isaac's servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.

 ²⁰But the shepherds of Gerar strove with Isaac's shepherds, saying, The water is ours. And he called the name of the well Esek, because they had quarrelled with him.

 ²¹And they dug another well, and they strove for that also; and he called the name of it Sitnah.

 ²²And he removed thence and dug another well; and they did not strive for that. And he called the name of it Rehoboth, and said, For now Jehovah has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.

 ²³And he went up thence to Beer-sheba.

 ²⁴And Jehovah appeared to 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.

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

 ²⁶And Abimelech, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phichol the captain of his host, went to him from Gerar.

 ²⁷And Isaac said to them, Why are ye come to me, seeing ye hate me, and have driven me away from you?

 ²⁸And they said, We saw certainly that Jehovah is with thee; and we said, Let there be then an oath between us -- between us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee,

 ²⁹that thou wilt do us no wrong, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done to thee nothing but good, and have let thee go in peace; thou art now blessed of Jehovah.

 ³⁰And he made them a feast, and they ate and drank.

 ³¹And they rose early in the morning, and swore one to another; and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.

 ³²And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well that they had dug, and said to him, We have found water.

 ³³And he called it Shebah; therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba to this day.

 ³⁴And Esau was forty years old, when he took as wives Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basmath the daughter of Elon the Hittite.

 ³⁵And they were a grief of mind to Isaac and to Rebecca.

Matthew 8

 ¹And when he had come down from the mountain, great crowds followed him.

 ²And behold, a leper came up to [him] and did him homage, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou art able to cleanse me.

 ³And he stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, I will; be cleansed. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

 ⁵And when he had entered into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, beseeching him,

 ⁶and saying, Lord, my servant lies paralytic in the house, suffering grievously.

 ⁷And Jesus says to him, *I* will come and heal him.

 ⁸And the centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not fit that thou shouldest enter under my roof; but only speak a word, and my servant shall be healed.

 ⁹For *I* also am a man under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say to this [one], Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my bondman, Do this, and he does it.

 ¹⁰And when Jesus heard it, he wondered, and said to those who followed, Verily I say unto you, Not even in Israel have I found so great faith.

 ¹¹But I say unto you, that many shall come from [the] rising and setting [sun], and shall lie down at table with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of the heavens;

 ¹²but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

 ¹³And Jesus said to the centurion, Go, and as thou hast believed, be it to thee. And his servant was healed in that hour.

 ¹⁷so that that should be fulfilled which was spoken through Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities and bore our diseases.
