The Fall

When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.”
-

So Abimelek summoned Isaac and said, “She is really your wife! Why did you say, ‘She is my sister’?” Isaac answered him, “Because I thought I might lose my life on account of her.”
-
Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Come near so I can touch you, my son, to know whether you really are my son Esau or not.”
-
“Are you really my son Esau?” he asked. “I am,” he replied.
-
You will live by the sword and you will serve your brother. But when you grow restless, you will throw his yoke from off your neck.”

He restored the chief cupbearer to his position, so that he once again put the cup into Pharaoh’s hand—
-
And things turned out exactly as he interpreted them to us: I was restored to my position, and the other man was impaled.”
-
Send one of your number to get your brother; the rest of you will be kept in prison, so that your words may be tested to see if you are telling the truth. If you are not, then as surely as Pharaoh lives, you are spies!”
