He said to him, "Here I am." 

^27:2He said, "See now, I am old. I don't know the day of my death. ^27:3Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and take me venison. ^27:4Make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat, and that my soul may bless you before I die.

창27:5 야곱을 위한 리브가의 제안 
^27:5Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it. ^27:6Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, "Behold, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying, ^27:7'Bring me venison, and make me savory food, that I may eat, and bless you before Yahweh before my death.' ^27:8Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you. ^27:9Go now to the flock, and get me from there two good kids of the goats. I will make them savory food for your father, such as he loves. ^27:10You shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death." 

^27:11Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, "Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man. ^27:12What if my father touches me? I will seem to him as a deceiver, and I would bring a curse on myself, and not a blessing." 

^27:13His mother said to him, "Let your curse be on me, my son. Only obey my voice, and go get them for me." 

^27:14He went, and got them, and brought them to his mother. His mother made savory food, such as his father loved.

^27:15Rebekah took the good clothes of Esau, her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob, her younger son. ^27:16She put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck. ^27:17She gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob. 

^27:18He came to his father, and said, "My father?" 

He said, "Here I am. Who are you, my son?" 

^27:19Jacob said to his father, "I am Esau your firstborn. I have done what you asked me to do. Please arise, sit and eat of my venison, that your soul may bless me." 

^27:20Isaac said to his son, "How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?" 

He said, "Because Yahweh your God gave me success." 

^27:21Isaac said to Jacob, "Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not." 

^27:22Jacob went near to Isaac his father. He felt him, and said, "The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau." ^27:23He didn't recognize him, because his hands were hairy, like his brother, Esau's hands. So he blessed him.

^27:24He said, "Are you really my son Esau?" 

He said, "I am." 

^27:25He said, "Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless you." 

He brought it near to him, and he ate. He brought him wine, and he drank. ^27:26His father Isaac said to him, "Come near now, and kiss me, my son." ^27:27He came near, and kissed him. He smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him, and said, 

 "Behold, the smell of my son 

 Is as the smell of a field which Yahweh has blessed. 

 ^27:28God give you of the dew of the sky, 

 of the fatness of the earth, 

 and plenty of grain and new wine. 

 ^27:29Let peoples serve you, 

 Nations bow down to you. 

 Be lord over your brothers, 

 Let your mother's sons bow down to you. 

 Cursed be everyone who curses you, 

 Blessed be everyone who blesses you."

창27:30 에서의 분노 
^27:30It happened, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob had just gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting. ^27:31He also made savory food, and brought it to his father. He said to his father, "Let my father arise, and eat of his son's venison, that your soul may bless me." 

^27:32Isaac his father said to him, "Who are you?" 

He said, "I am your son, your firstborn, Esau." 

^27:33Isaac trembled violently, and said, "Who, then, is he who has taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him? Yes, he will be blessed." 

^27:34When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceeding great and bitter cry, and said to his father, "Bless me, even me also, my father." 

^27:35He said, "Your brother came with deceit, and has taken away your blessing." 

^27:36He said, "Isn't he rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright. See, now he has taken away my blessing." He said, "Haven't you reserved a blessing for me?" 

^27:37Isaac answered Esau, "Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers have I given to him for servants. With grain and new wine have I sustained him. What then will I do for you, my son?" 

^27:38Esau said to his father, "Have you but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, my father." Esau lifted up his voice, and wept. 

^27:39Isaac his father answered him, 

 "Behold, of the fatness of the earth will be your dwelling, 

 and of the dew of the sky from above. 

 ^27:40By your sword will you live, and you will serve your brother. 

 It will happen, when you will break loose, 

 That you shall shake his yoke from off your neck."

창27:41 야곱이 라반에게도 도망 
^27:41Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him. Esau said in his heart, "The days of mourning for my father are at hand. Then I will kill my brother Jacob." 

^27:42The words of Esau, her elder son, were told to Rebekah. She sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, "Behold, your brother Esau comforts himself about you by planning to kill you. ^27:43Now therefore, my son, obey my voice. Arise, flee to Laban, my brother, in Haran. ^27:44Stay with him a few days, until your brother's fury turns away; ^27:45until your brother's anger turn away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send, and get you from there. Why should I be bereaved of you both in one day?" 

^27:46Rebekah said to Isaac, "I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good will my life do me?"

창28:1 밧단아람으로 도망 

^28:1Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, "You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan. ^28:2Arise, go to Paddan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother's father. Take a wife from there from the daughters of Laban, your mother's brother. ^28:3May God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, that you may be a company of peoples, ^28:4and give you the blessing of Abraham, to you, and to your seed with you, that you may inherit the land where you travel, which God gave to Abraham." 

^28:5Isaac sent Jacob away. He went to Paddan Aram to Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, Rebekah's brother, Jacob's and Esau's mother.

^28:6Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan Aram, to take him a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, "You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan," ^28:7and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Paddan Aram. ^28:8Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan didn't please Isaac, his father. ^28:9Esau went to Ishmael, and took, besides the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.

창28:10 사닥다리 환상을 봄 
^28:10Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran. ^28:11He came to a certain place, and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. He took one of the stones of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep. ^28:12He dreamed. Behold, a stairway set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven. Behold, the angels of God ascending and descending on it. ^28:13Behold, Yahweh stood above it, and said, "I am Yahweh, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. The land whereon you lie, to you will I give it, and to your seed. ^28:14Your seed will be as the dust of the earth, and you will spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. In you and in your seed will all the families of the earth be blessed. ^28:15Behold, I am with you, and will keep you, wherever you go, and will bring you again into this land. For I will not leave you, until I have done that which I have spoken of to you."

창28:16 하나님의 전 벧엘 
^28:16Jacob awakened out of his sleep, and he said, "Surely Yahweh is in this place, and I didn't know it." ^28:17He was afraid, and said, "How dreadful is this place! This is none other than God's house, and this is the gate of heaven." 

^28:18Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil on the top of it. ^28:19He called the name of that place Bethel, but the name of the city was Luz at the first. ^28:20Jacob vowed a vow, saying, "If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and clothing to put on, ^28:21so that I come again to my father's house in peace, and Yahweh will be my God, ^28:22then this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, will be God's house. Of all that you will give me I will surely give the tenth to you." 

They said, "We are from Haran." 

^29:5He said to them, "Do you know Laban, the son of Nahor?" 

They said, "We know him." 

^29:6He said to them, "Is it well with him?" 

They said, "It is well. See, Rachel, his daughter, is coming with the sheep." 

^29:7He said, "Behold, it is still the middle of the day, not time to gather the cattle together. Water the sheep, and go and feed them." 

^29:8They said, We can't, until all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well's mouth. Then we water the sheep."

창29:9 야곱과 라헬의 만남 
^29:9While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she kept them. ^29:10It happened, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother. ^29:11Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept. ^29:12Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son. She ran and told her father. 

^29:13It happened, when Laban heard the news of Jacob, his sister's son, that he ran to meet Jacob, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things. ^29:14Laban said to him, Surely you are my bone and my flesh. He lived with him for a month.

창29:15 야곱의 칠 년 봉사 
^29:15Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my brother, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what will your wages be?" 

^29:16Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. ^29:17Leah's eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful and well favored. ^29:18Jacob loved Rachel. He said, "I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter." 

^29:19Laban said, "It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me." 

^29:20Jacob served seven years for Rachel. They seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her.

창29:21 야곱과 레아의 결혼 
^29:21Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her." 

^29:22Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast. ^29:23It happened in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him. He went in to her. ^29:24Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid to his daughter Leah for a handmaid. ^29:25It happened in the morning that, behold, it was Leah. He said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? Didn't I serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?" 

^29:26Laban said, "It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the first born. ^29:27Fulfill the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which you will serve with me yet seven other years."

창29:28 야곱과 라헬의 결혼 
^29:28Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. He gave him Rachel his daughter as wife. ^29:29Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah, his handmaid, to be her handmaid. ^29:30He went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.

창29:31 레아의 아들들 
^29:31Yahweh saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren. ^29:32Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said, "Because Yahweh has looked at my affliction. For now my husband will love me." ^29:33She conceived again, and bare a son, and said, "Because Yahweh has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this son also." She named him Simeon. ^29:34She conceived again, and bare a son. Said, "Now this time will my husband be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons." Therefore was his name called Levi. ^29:35She conceived again, and bare a son. She said, "This time will I praise Yahweh." Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing.

창30:1 투기하는 라헬 
 
^30:1When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister. She said to Jacob, "Give me children, or else I will die." 

^30:2Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel, and he said, "Am I in God's place, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?"

창30:3 빌하와 소생들 
^30:3She said, "Behold, my maid Bilhah. Go in to her, that she may bear on my knees, and I also may obtain children by her." ^30:4She gave him Bilhah her handmaid as wife, and Jacob went in to her. ^30:5Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son. ^30:6Rachel said, "God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son." Therefore called she his name Dan. ^30:7Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid, conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son. ^30:8Rachel said, "With mighty wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and have prevailed." She named him Naphtali.

창30:9 실바와 소생들 
^30:9When Leah saw that she had finished bearing, she took Zilpah, her handmaid, and gave her to Jacob as a wife. ^30:10Zilpah, Leah's handmaid, bore Jacob a son. ^30:11Leah said, "How fortunate!" She named him Gad. ^30:12Zilpah, Leah's handmaid, bore Jacob a second son. ^30:13Leah said, "Happy am I, for the daughters will call me happy." She named him Asher. 

^30:14Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother, Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, "Please give me some of your son's mandrakes." 

^30:15She said to her, "Is it a small matter that you have taken away my husband? Would you take away my son's mandrakes, also?" 

Rachel said, "Therefore he will lie with you tonight for your son's mandrakes." 

^30:16Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, "You must come in to me; for I have surely hired you with my son's mandrakes." 

He lay with her that night. ^30:17God listened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son. ^30:18Leah said, "God has given me my hire, because I gave my handmaid to my husband." She named him Issachar. ^30:19Leah conceived again, and bore a sixth son to Jacob. ^30:20Leah said, "God has endowed me with a good dowry. Now my husband will live with me, because I have borne him six sons." She named him Zebulun. ^30:21Afterwards, she bore a daughter, and named her Dinah.

창30:22 요셉의 탄생 
^30:22God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and opened her womb. ^30:23She conceived, bore a son, and said, "God has taken away my reproach. ^30:24She named him Joseph, saying, "May Yahweh add another son to me."

창30:25 야곱과 외삼촌 
^30:25It happened, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, "Send me away, that I may go to my own place, and to my country. ^30:26Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go: for you know my service with which I have served you." 

^30:27Laban said to him, "If now I have found favor in your eyes, stay here, for I have divined that Yahweh has blessed me for your sake." ^30:28He said, "Appoint me your wages, and I will give it." 

^30:29He said to him, "You know how I have served you, and how your cattle have fared with me. ^30:30For it was little which you had before I came, and it has increased to a multitude. Yahweh has blessed you wherever I turned. Now when will I provide for my own house also?" 

^30:31He said, "What shall I give you?" 

Jacob said, "You shall not give me anything. If you will do this thing for me, I will again feed your flock and keep it. ^30:32I will pass through all your flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted one, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats. This will be my hire. ^30:33So my righteousness will answer for me hereafter, when you come concerning my hire that is before you. Everyone that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep, that might be with me, will be counted stolen." 

^30:34Laban said, "Behold, I desire it to be according to your word." 

^30:35That day, he removed the male goats that were streaked and spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons. ^30:36He set three days' journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.

창30:37 야곱의 번성 
^30:37Jacob took to himself rods of fresh poplar, almond, plane tree, peeled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods. ^30:38He set the rods which he had peeled opposite the flocks in the gutters in the watering-troughs where the flocks came to drink. They conceived when they came to drink. ^30:39The flocks conceived before the rods, and the flocks brought forth streaked, speckled, and spotted. ^30:40Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the streaked and all the black in the flock of Laban: and he put his own droves apart, and didn't put them into Laban's flock. ^30:41It happened, whenever the stronger of the flock conceived, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods; ^30:42but when the flock were feeble, he didn't put them in. So the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's. ^30:43The man increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, maid-servants and men-servants, and camels and donkeys. 

^31:4Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field to his flock, ^31:5and said to them, "I see the expression on your father's face, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father has been with me. ^31:6You know that I have served your father with all of my strength. ^31:7Your father has deceived me, and changed my wages ten times, but God didn't allow him to hurt me. ^31:8If he said this, 'The speckled will be your wages,' then all the flock bore speckled. If he said this, 'The streaked will be your wages,' then all the flock bore streaked. ^31:9Thus God has taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me. ^31:10It happened at the time that the flock conceive, that I lifted up my eyes, and saw in a dream, and behold, the male goats which leaped on the flock were streaked, speckled, and grizzled. ^31:11The angel of God said to me in the dream, 'Jacob,' and I said, 'Here I am.' ^31:12He said, 'Now lift up your eyes, and behold, all the male goats which leap on the flock are streaked, speckled, and grizzled, for I have seen all that Laban does to you. ^31:13I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar, where you vowed a vow to me. Now arise, get out from this land, and return to the land of your birth." 

^31:14Rachel and Leah answered him, "Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house? ^31:15Aren't we accounted by him as foreigners? For he has sold us, and has also quite devoured our money. ^31:16For all the riches which God has taken away from our father, that is ours and our children's. Now then, whatever God has said to you, do." 

^31:17Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives on the camels, ^31:18and he carried away all his cattle, and all his substance which he had gathered, the cattle of his getting, which he had gathered in Paddan Aram, to go to Isaac his father to the land of Canaan. ^31:19Now Laban had gone to shear his sheep: and Rachel stole the teraphim that were her father's. 

^31:20Jacob deceived Laban the Syrian, in that he didn't tell him that he was running away. ^31:21So he fled with all that he had. He rose up, passed over the River, and set his face toward the mountain of Gilead.

창31:22 라반이 쫓아감 
^31:22Laban was told on the third day that Jacob had fled. ^31:23He took his relatives with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey. He overtook him in the mountain of Gilead. ^31:24God came to Laban, the Syrian, in a dream of the night, and said to him, "Take heed to yourself that you don't speak to Jacob either good or bad." 

^31:25Laban caught up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain, and Laban with his relatives encamped in the mountain of Gilead. ^31:26Laban said to Jacob, "What have you done, that you have deceived me, and carried away my daughters like captives of the sword? ^31:27Why did you flee secretly, and deceive me, and didn't tell me, that I might have sent you away with mirth and with songs, with tambourine and with harp; ^31:28and didn't allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now have you done foolishly. ^31:29It is in the power of my hand to hurt you, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, 'Take heed to yourself that you don't speak to Jacob either good or bad.' ^31:30Now, you want to be gone, because you sore longed after your father's house, but why have you stolen my gods?" 

^31:31Jacob answered Laban, "Because I was afraid, for I said, 'Lest you should take your daughters from me by force.' ^31:32With whoever you find your gods, he shall not live. Before our relatives, discern what is yours with me, and take it." For Jacob didn't know that Rachel had stolen them. 

^31:33Laban went into Jacob's tent, into Leah's tent, and into the tent of the two maid-servants; but he didn't find them. He went out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent. ^31:34Now Rachel had taken the teraphim, put them in the camel's saddle, and sat on them. Laban felt about all the tent, but didn't find them. ^31:35She said to her father, "Don't let my lord be angry that I can't rise up before you; for the manner of women is on me." He searched, but didn't find the teraphim.

창31:36 라반에 대한 야곱의 항의 
^31:36Jacob was angry, and argued with Laban. Jacob answered Laban, "What is my trespass? What is my sin, that you have hotly pursued after me? ^31:37Now that you have felt around in all my stuff, what have you found of all your household stuff? Set it here before my relatives and your relatives, that they may judge between us two. ^31:38These twenty years have I been with you. Your ewes and your female goats have not cast their young, and I haven't eaten the rams of your flocks. ^31:39That which was torn of animals, I didn't bring to you. I bore the loss of it. Of my hand you required it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night. ^31:40Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from my eyes. ^31:41These twenty years have I been in your house. I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you have changed my wages ten times.

창31:42 야곱과 라반이 언약함 
^31:42Unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty. God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked you last night." 

^31:43Laban answered Jacob, "The daughters are my daughters, the children are my children, the flocks are my flocks, and all that you see is mine: and what can I do this day to these my daughters, or to their children whom they have borne? ^31:44Now come, let us make a covenant, you and I; and let it be for a witness between me and you." 

^31:45Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar. ^31:46Jacob said to his relatives, "Gather stones." They took stones, and made a heap. They ate there by the heap. ^31:47Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, but Jacob called it Galeed. ^31:48Laban said, "This heap is witness between me and you this day." Therefore it was named Galeed ^31:49and Mizpah, for he said, "Yahweh watch between me and you, when we are absent one from another. ^31:50If you will afflict my daughters, and if you will take wives besides my daughters, no man is with us; behold, God is witness between me and you." ^31:51Laban said to Jacob, "See this heap, and see the pillar, which I have set between me and you. ^31:52May this heap be a witness, and the pillar be a witness, that I will not pass over this heap to you, and that you will not pass over this heap and this pillar to me, for harm. ^31:53The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us." Then Jacob swore by the fear of his father, Isaac. ^31:54Jacob offered a sacrifice in the mountain, and called his relatives to eat bread. They ate bread, and stayed all night in the mountain. ^31:55Early in the morning, Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them. Laban departed and returned to his place.
