Genesis 25

   
 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 Asshurim and Letushim and Leummim.

   
 ⁴And the sons of Midian: Ephah and Epher, and Hanoch and Abidah and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.

   
 ⁵And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.

   
 ⁶But unto the sons of the concubines whom Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts; and while he yet lived he sent them away from Isaac his son, eastward unto the east country.

   
 ⁷And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, a hundred threescore and fifteen years.

   
 ⁸Then Abraham gave up the ghost and died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and was gathered to his people.

   
 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 is before Mamre,

   
 ¹⁰the field which Abraham purchased from 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 by the well Lahairoi.

   
 ¹²Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bore unto Abraham.

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

   
 ¹⁴and Mishma and Dumah and Massa,

   
 ¹⁵Hadar and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.

   
 ¹⁶These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns and by their castles, twelve princes according to their nations.

   
 ¹⁷And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, a hundred and thirty and seven years; and he gave up the ghost and died, and was gathered unto his people.

   
 ¹⁸And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt as thou goest toward Assyria; and he died in the presence 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 Rebekah for a wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister of Laban the Syrian.

   
 ²¹And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren; and the LORD was entreated by him, and Rebekah 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 the LORD.

   
 ²³And the LORD said unto her, "Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy body; and the 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 threescore years old when she bore them.

   
 ²⁷And the boys grew. And Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.

   
 ²⁸And Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his venison; but Rebekah loved Jacob.

   
 ²⁹And Jacob boiled pottage; and Esau came from the field, and he was faint.

   
 ³⁰And Esau said to Jacob, "Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage, for I am faint"; therefore was his name called Edom.

   
 ³¹And Jacob said, "Sell me this day thy birthright."

   
 ³²And Esau said, "Behold, I am at the point of dying. And what profit shall this birthright be to me?"

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

   
 ³⁴Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he ate and drank, and rose up and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.

Genesis 26

   
 ²And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, "Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of.

   
 ³Sojourn 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.

   
 ⁴And 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,

   
 ⁵because Abraham obeyed My voice, and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws."

   
 ⁶And Isaac dwelt in Gerar.

   
 ⁷And the men of the place asked him concerning 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."

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

   
 ⁹And 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.'"

   
 ¹⁰And Abimelech said, "What is this thou hast done unto us? One of the people might lightly have lain with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us."

   
 ¹¹And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, "He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death."

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

   
 ¹³And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great.

   
 ¹⁴For he had possession of flocks and possession of herds, and great store of servants; and the Philistines envied him.

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

   
 ¹⁶And Abimelech said unto Isaac, "Go from us, for thou art much mightier than we."

   
 ¹⁷And Isaac departed from thence, and pitched his tent in the Valley of Gerar and dwelt there.

   
 ¹⁸And Isaac dug again the wells of water which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, for the Philistines had stopped them 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.

   
 ²⁰And the herdsmen of Gerar strove with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, "The water is ours." And he called the name of the well Esek [that is, Contention], because they strove with him.

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

   
 ²²And he removed from thence, and dug another well, and for that they strove not; and he called the name of it Rehoboth [that is, Room]. And he said, "For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land."

   
 ²³And he went up from thence to Beersheba.

   
 ²⁴And 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."

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

   
 ²⁶Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar with Ahuzzath one of his friends and Phichol the chief captain of his army.

   
 ²⁷And Isaac said unto them, "Why come ye to me, seeing ye hate me and have sent me away from you?"

   
 ²⁸And they said, "We saw certainly that the LORD was with thee; and we said, `Let there be now an oath between us, even between us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee,

   
 ²⁹that thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace. Thou art now the blessed of the LORD.'"

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

   
 ³¹And they rose up 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 which they had dug, and said unto him, "We have found water."

   
 ³³And he called it Shebah [that is, An oath]; therefore the name of the city is Beersheba [that is, The well of the oath] unto this day.

   
 ³⁴And Esau was forty years old when he took for a wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite,

   
 ³⁵who were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.

Matthew 8

   
 ²And behold, there came a leper and worshiped Him, saying, "Lord, if Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean."

   
 ³And Jesus put forth His hand and touched him, saying, "I will: be thou clean." And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

   
 ⁴And Jesus said unto him, "See thou tell no man; but go thy way, show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded for a testimony unto them."

   
 ⁵And when Jesus had entered into Capernaum, there came unto Him a centurion, beseeching Him

   
 ⁶and saying, "Lord, my servant lieth at home sick with the palsy and grievously tormented."

   
 ⁷And Jesus said unto him, "I will come and heal him."

   
 ⁸The centurion answered and said, "Lord, I am not worthy that Thou shouldest come under my roof. But speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.

   
 ⁹For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this man, `Go!' and he goeth; and to another, `Come!' and he cometh; and to my servant, `Do this!' and he doeth it."

   
 ¹⁰When Jesus heard it, He marveled and said to those who followed, "Verily I say unto you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.

   
 ¹¹And I say unto you, that many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven.

   
 ¹²But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

   
 ¹³And Jesus said unto the centurion, "Go thy way, and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee." And his servant was healed in that selfsame hour.

   
 ¹⁴And when Jesus had come into Peter's house, He saw his wife's mother lying and sick with a fever.

   
 ¹⁵And He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she arose and ministered unto them.

   
 ¹⁶When the evening had come, they brought unto Him many who were possessed with devils, and He cast out the spirits with His word and healed all who were sick,

   
 ¹⁷that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, who said, "He Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses."
