Genesis 25:1–26:35
1And Abraam again took a wife, whose name was Chettura. 2And she bore to him Zombran, and Jezan, and Madal, and Madiam, and Jesboc, and Soie. 3And Jezan begot Saba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were the Assurians and the Latusians, and Laomim. 4And the sons of Madiam [were] Gephar and Aphir, and Enoch, and Abeida, and Eldaga; all these were sons of Chettura. 5But Abraam gave all his possessions to Isaac his son. 6But to the sons of his concubines Abraam gave gifts, and he sent them away from his son Isaac, while he was yet living, to the east into the country of the east. 7And these [were] the years of the days of the life of Abraam as many as he lived, a hundred and seventy-five years. 8And Abraam failing died in a good old age, an old man and full of days, and was added to his people. 9And Isaac and Ismael his sons buried him in the double cave, in the field of Ephron the son of Saar the Chettite, which is over against Mambre: 10[even] the field and the cave which Abraam bought of the sons of Chet; there they buried Abraam and Sarrha his wife. 11And it came to pass after Abraam was dead, that God blessed Isaac his son, and Isaac dwelt by the well of the vision. 12And these [are] the generations of Ismael the son of Abraam, whom Agar the Egyptian the hand-maid of Sarrha bore to Abraam. 13And these [are] the names of the sons of Ismael, according to the names of their generations. The firstborn of Ismael, Nabaioth, and Kedar, and Nabdeel, and Massam, 14and Masma, and Duma, and Masse, 15and Choddan, and Thæman, and Jetur, and Naphes, and Kedma. 16These [are] the sons of Ismael, and these are their names in their tents and in their dwellings, twelve princes according to their nations. 17And these [are] the years of the life of Ismael, a hundred and thirty-seven years; and he failed and died, and was added to his fathers. 18And he dwelt from Evilat to Sur, which is opposite Egypt, until one comes to the Assyrians; he dwelt in the presence of all his brethren. 19And these [are] the generations of Isaac the son of Abraam. 20Abraam begot Isaac. And Isaac was forty years old when he took to wife Rebecca, daughter of Bathuel the Syrian, out of Syrian Mesopotamia, sister of Laban the Syrian. 21And Isaac prayed the Lord concerning Rebecca his wife, because she was barren; and the Lord heard him, and his wife Rebecca conceived in her womb. 22And the babes leaped within her; and she said, If it will be so with me, why is this to me? And she went to enquire of the Lord. 23And the Lord said to her, There are two nations in thy womb, and two peoples shall be separated from thy belly, and one people shall excel the other, and the elder shall serve the younger. 24And the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered, and she had twins in her womb. 25And the first came out red, hairy all over like a skin; and she called his name Esau. 26And after this came forth his brother, and his hand took hold of the heel of Esau; and she called his name Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when Rebecca bore them. 27And the lads grew, and Esau was a man skilled in hunting, dwelling in the country, and Jacob a simple man, dwelling in a house. 28And Isaac loved Esau, because his venison was his food, but Rebecca loved Jacob. 29And Jacob cooked pottage, and Esau came from the plain, fainting. 30And Esau said to Jacob, Let me taste of that red pottage, because I am fainting; therefore his name was called Edom. 31And Jacob said to Esau, Sell me this day thy birthright. 32And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die, and for what good does this birthright [belong] to me? 33And Jacob said to him, Swear to me this day; and he swore to him; and Esau sold his birthright to Jacob. 34And Jacob gave bread to Esau, and pottage of lentiles; and he ate and drank, and he arose and departed; so Esau slighted his birthright. Chapter 261And there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine, which was in the time of Abraam; and Isaac went to Abimelech the king of the Phylistines to Gerara. 2And the Lord appeared to him and said, Go not down to Egypt, but dwell in the land, which I shall tell thee of. 3And sojourn in this land; and I will be with thee, and bless thee, for I will give to thee and to thy seed all this land; and I will establish my oath which I swore to thy father Abraam. 4And I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven; and I will give to thy seed all this land, and all the nations of the earth shall be blest in thy seed. 5Because Abraam thy father hearkened to my voice, and kept my injunctions, and my commandments, and my ordinances, and my statutes. 6And Isaac dwelt in Gerara. 7And the men of the place questioned him concerning Rebecca his wife, and he said, She is my sister, for he feared to say, She is my wife, lest at any time the men of the place should slay him because of Rebecca, because she was fair. 8And he remained there a long time, and Abimelech the king of Gerara leaned to look through the window, and saw Isaac sporting with Rebecca his wife. 9And Abimelech called Isaac, and said to him, Is she then thy wife? why hast thou said, She is my sister? And Isaac said to him, [I did so], for I said, Lest at any time I die on her account. 10And Abimelech said to him, Why hast thou done this to us? one of my kindred within a little had lain with thy wife, and thou wouldest have brought [a sin of] ignorance upon us. 11And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, Every man that touches this man and his wife shall be liable to death. 12And Isaac sowed in that land, and he found in that year barley an hundred-fold, and the Lord blessed him. 13And the man was exalted, and advancing he increased, till he became very great. 14And he had cattle of sheep, and cattle of oxen, and many tilled lands, and the Phylistines envied him. 15And all the wells which the servants of his father had dug in the time of his father, the Phylistines stopped them, and filled them with earth. 16And Abimelech said to Isaac, Depart from us, for thou art become much mightier than we. 17And Isaac departed thence, and rested in the valley of Gerara, and dwelt there. 18And Isaac dug again the wells of water, which the servants of his father Abraam had dug, and the Phylistines had stopped them, after the death of his father Abraam; and he gave them names, according to the names by which his father named them. 19And the servants of Isaac dug in the valley of Gerara, and they found there a well of living water. 20And the shepherds of Gerara strove with the shepherds of Isaac, saying that the water was theirs; and they called the name of the well, Injury, for they injured him. 21And having departed thence he dug another well, and they strove also for that; and he named the name of it, Enmity. 22And he departed thence and dug another well; and they did not strive about that; and he named the name of it, Room, saying, Because now the Lord has made room for us, and has increased us upon the earth. 23And he went up thence to the well of the oath. 24And the Lord appeared to him in that night, and said, I am the God of Abraam thy father; fear not, for I am with thee, and I will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for the sake of Abraam thy father. 25And he built there an altar, and called on the name of the Lord, and there he pitched his tent, and there the servants of Isaac dug a well in the valley of Gerara. 26And Abimelech came to him from Gerara, and so did Ochozath his friend, and Phichol the commander-in-chief of his army. 27And Isaac said to them, Wherefore have ye come to me? whereas ye hated me, and sent me away from you. 28And they said, We have surely seen that the Lord was with thee, and we said, Let there be an oath between us and thee, and we will make a covenant with thee, 29that thou shalt do no wrong by us, as we have not abhorred thee, and according as we have treated thee well, and have sent thee forth peaceably; and now thou art blessed of the Lord. 30And he made a feast for them, and they ate and drank. 31And they arose in the morning, and swore each to his neighbour; and Isaac sent them forth, and they departed from him in safety. 32And it came to pass in that day, that the servants of Isaac came and told him of the well which they had dug; and they said, We have not found water. 33And he called it, Oath: therefore he called the name of that city, the Well of Oath, until this day. 34And Esau was forty years old; and he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beoch the Chettite, and Basemath, daughter of Helon the Chettite. 35And they were provoking to Isaac and Rebecca.
PsalmSeptuagint (Brenton)
Psalm 7:6–8
6Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; and let him trample my life on the ground, and lay my glory in the dust. Pause. 7Arise, O Lord, in thy wrath; be exalted in the utmost boundaries of mine enemies: awake, O Lord my God, according to the decree which thou didst command. 8And the congregation of the nations shall compass thee: and for this cause do thou return on high.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 3:9–10
9Honour the Lord with thy just labours, and give him the first of thy fruits of righteousness: 10that thy storehouses may be completely filled with corn, and that thy presses may burst forth with wine.
New TestamentKing James Version
Matthew 9:18–38
18While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live. 19And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples. 20And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: 21For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. 22But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour. 23And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise, 24He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. 25But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose. 26And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land. 27And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. 28And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you. 30And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it. 31But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country. 32As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil. 33And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel. 34But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils. 35And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. 36But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. 37Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; 38Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
