Genesis
17:15-17, 19, 21-22
Then GOD (GOD Almighty) said to Abraham, “As for Sarai,
Your Wife, YOU (Abraham) shall NOT call Her (Sarai) name Sarai, but Sarah shall be Her (Sarah’s) Name. And I (GOD Almighty) will Bless Her (Sarah)
and also GIVE YOU (Abraham) a Son (Isaac) by Her (Sarah); then I (GOD Almighty)
will Bless Her (Sarah), and She (Sarah) shall be a Mother of Nations; Kings of Peoples, shall be from Her (Sarah).” Then Abraham fell on His (Abraham’s) Face and laughed, and said in
His (Abraham’s) Heart, “Shall a Child
be BORN to a Man, who is One Hundred Years (100) Old? And shall Sarah, who is Ninety (90) Years Old,
BEAR a Child?” Then GOD (GOD Almighty) said: “No, Sarah,
Your Wife, shall BEAR YOU (Abraham) a Son, and YOU (Abraham) shall call His Name,
Isaac; I (GOD Almighty) will ESTABLISH My (GOD Almighty’s) Covenant with Him
(Isaac) for an Everlasting Covenant, and
with His (Isaac’s) Descendants after Him (Isaac). But My (GOD Almighty’s) Covenant I (GOD
Almighty) will ESTABLISH with Isaac, whom Sarah shall BEAR to YOU (Abraham) at
This Set Time, next year.” Then, He (GOD
Almighty) finished talking with Him (Abraham), and GOD (GOD Almighty) went up
from Abraham.”
Genesis
21:1-8
And The LORD (GOD Almighty) VISITED Sarah as He (GOD
Almighty) had said, and The LORD (GOD Almighty) DID for Sarah, as He (GOD
Almighty) had SPOKEN. For Sarah CONCEIVED
and BORE Abraham a Son (Isaac), in His Old Age, at The Set Time of which GOD
(GOD Almighty) had SPOKEN to Him (Abraham).
And Abraham called The Name of His Son (Isaac) who was BORN to Him
(Abraham), whom Sarah BORE to Him, Isaac.
Then Abraham CIRCUMCISED His Son, Isaac when He (Isaac) was Eight Days
Old, as GOD (GOD Almighty) had Commanded Him (Abraham). Now, Abraham was One Hundred (100) Years Old,
when His Son, Isaac, was BORN to Him (Abraham).
And Sarah said, “GOD (GOD Almighty) has MADE me (Sarah) Laugh, and all who HEAR will laugh with me
(Sarah).” She (Sarah) also said, “Who
would have said to Abraham, that Sarah would nurse children? For I (Sarah) have BORNE Him (Abraham), a Son (Isaac), in His Old
Age.” So, The Child (Isaac) grew and was
weaned. And Abraham MADE a Great Feast,
on The Same Day, that Isaac was WEANED.
Genesis
22:1-18
Now it came to pass AFTER These Things, that GOD (GOD
Almighty) TESTED Abraham, and said to Him, “Abraham!” And He (Abraham) said, “Here I am.” Then He (GOD Almighty) SAID, “Take now Your
Son, Your ONLY Son, Isaac, whom
YOU (Abraham) LOVE, and GO to The Land of Moriah, and OFFER Him (Isaac) there,
as a Burnt Offering on One of The Mountains of which I (GOD Almighty) shall TELL
YOU (Abraham).” So, Abraham ROSE early
in the morning and Saddled His (Abraham’s) Donkey, and TOOK Two of His
(Abraham’s) Young Men with Him (Abraham), and Isaac, His Son; and He (Abraham)
SPLIT the wood for The Burnt Offering, and arose and WENT to The Place of which
GOD (GOD Almighty) had TOLD Him (Abraham).
Then, on The Third Day Abraham LIFTED His (Abraham’s) Eyes and SAW The Place
afar off. And Abraham said to His
(Abraham’s) Young Men, “STAY HERE with the donkey; The Lad (Isaac) and I (Abraham)
will GO YONDER and Worship, and We (Abraham and Isaac) will COME BACK to YOU
(Abraham’s Young Men).”
So, Abraham TOOK The Wood of The Burnt Offering and LAID
It (The Wood) on Isaac, His
(Abraham’s) Son; and He (Abraham) TOOK the fire in His (Abraham’s) Hand, and a KNIFE,
and The Two of Them (Abraham and Isaac) went together. But Isaac SPOKE to Abraham, His Father and
said, “My Father!” And He (Abraham) said, “Here
I am, My Son.” Then
He (Isaac) said, “Look, the fire and the wood, but where is The Lamb for a Burnt Offering?” And Abraham said, “My Son,
GOD (GOD Almighty) will PROVIDE for Himself (GOD Almighty), The Lamb (Isaac) for
a Burnt Offering.” So, The Two of Them (Abraham
and Isaac) went together. Then They (Abraham and Isaac) came to The Place of which GOD (GOD
Almighty) had TOLD Him (Abraham). And
Abraham BUILT an Altar there, and PLACED The Wood in Order; and He (Abraham)
BOUND Isaac, His Son, and LAID Him (Isaac) on The Altar, upon the wood. And Abraham STRETCHED OUT His (Abraham’s) Hand
and TOOK The Knife to SLAY His (Abraham’s) Son (Isaac).
But The Angel of The LORD (GOD Almighty) CALLED to Him
(Abraham), from Heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” So He (Abraham) said, “Here I am.” And He (The Angel of The
LORD, GOD Almighty) SAID, “Do NOT Lay Your (Abraham’s) Hand on The Lad (Isaac),
or do ANYTHING to Him (Isaac); for NOW I (GOD Almighty) KNOW, that YOU (Abraham)
FEAR GOD (GOD Almighty), since YOU (Abraham) have NOT WITHHELD Your Son
(Isaac), Your ONLY Son (Isaac),
from Me (GOD Almighty).” Then Abraham LIFTED His Eyes and LOOKED, and THERE, BEHIND Him (Abraham) was a ram, CAUGHT in a
thicket by its horns. So, Abraham went
and TOOK the ram, and Offered it (the ram) up for a Burnt Offering INSTEAD of
His Son (Isaac). And Abraham called The
Name of The Place, The-LORD-Will-Provide; as it is said to This Day, “In The Mount of The LORD (GOD Almighty), it shall be
PROVIDED.” Then
The Angel of The LORD (GOD Almighty), CALLED to Abraham, a Second Time Out of Heaven,
and said: “By Myself, I (GOD Almighty) have SWORN, SAYS The LORD (GOD Almighty),
because YOU (Abraham) have DONE This Thing, and have NOT WITHHELD Your Son
(Isaac), Your ONLY Son (Isaac),
Blessing I (GOD Almighty) will Bless YOU (Abraham), and MULTIPLYING,
I (GOD Almighty) will MULTIPLY Your (Abraham’s) Descendants, as The Stars of
The Heaven and as The Sand which is
on The Seashore; and Your (Abraham’s) Descendants shall POSSESS The Gate of
Their Enemies. In Your (Abraham’s) Seed,
All The Nations of The Earth, shall be Blessed, because YOU (Abraham) have OBEYED
My (GOD Almighty’s) Voice.”
Genesis
25:19-27
This is The Genealogy of Isaac, Abraham’s son. Abraham begot Isaac. Isaac was Forty (40) Years Old when He (Isaac)
took Rebekah as Wife, The Daughter of Bethuel, The Syrian of Padan Aram, The Sister
of Laban, The Syrian. Now, Isaac PLEADED
with The LORD (GOD Almighty) for His (Isaac’s) Wife (Rebekah), because She
(Rebekah) was BARREN; and The
LORD (GOD Almighty) GRANTED His (Isaac’s) Plea, and Rebekah, His (Isaac’s) Wife
CONCEIVED. But The Children struggled
together within Her (Rebekah); and She (Rebekah) said, “If all is well, why am I like this?” So, She (Rebekah) went to INQUIRE of The LORD
(GOD Almighty). And The LORD (GOD
Almighty) said to Her (Rebekah): “Two Nations are in Your (Rebekah’s) Womb, Two Peoples shall be SEPARATED
from Your (Rebekah’s) Body; One
People shall be STRONGER than The Other, and The Older shall SERVE The Younger.”
So,
when Her (Rebekah’s) Days were FULFILLED for
Her (Rebekah) to Give Birth, indeed there were TWINS in Her (Rebekah’s) Womb. And The First Came Out RED. He (Esau)
was like a Hairy Garment all over; so They (Isaac and Rebekah) called
His Name, Esau. Afterward His (Esau’s)
Brother (Jacob) Came Out, and His (Jacob’s) Hand TOOK HOLD of Esau’s Heel; so
His Name was called Jacob. Isaac was Sixty (60) Years Old when She (Rebekah)
BORE Them (Esau and Jacob). So, The Boys
(Esau and Jacob) GREW. And Esau was a
Skillful Hunter, a Man of The Field; but Jacob was a Mild Man, dwelling in
tents. And Isaac LOVED Esau, because He
(Isaac) Ate of His (Esau’s) Game,
but Rebekah LOVED Jacob.
Genesis
27:26-29
Then His Father, Isaac said to Him (Jacob), “Come near
now and kiss me, My Son.” And He (Jacob)
came near and kissed Him (Isaac); and He (Isaac) smelled The Smell of His
(Jacob’s) Clothing, and Blessed Him (Jacob) and said: “Surely, The Smell of My
Son is like The Smell of a Field, which The LORD (GOD Almighty) has Blessed. Therefore, may GOD (GOD
Almighty) GIVE YOU (Jacob) of The Dew of Heaven,
of The Fatness of The Earth, and
plenty of grain and wine. Let Peoples SERVE YOU (Jacob), and Nations BOW
DOWN to YOU (Jacob). Be Master (Jacob) OVER Your Brethren, and
let Your Mother’s (Rebekah’s) Sons, BOW DOWN to YOU (Jacob). CURSED be EVERYONE who curses YOU (Jacob),
and Blessed be
those who BLESS YOU (Jacob)!”
Genesis
28:1-4
Then Isaac called Jacob and Blessed Him (Jacob), and CHARGED
Him (Jacob), and said to Him (Jacob): “YOU (Jacob) shall NOT take a Wife, from
The Daughters of Canaan. Arise, go to
Padan Aram, to The House of Bethuel, Your Mother’s Father; and take yourself a
Wife from there of The Daughters of Laban, Your Mother’s Brother. “May GOD Almighty Bless YOU (Jacob), and MAKE YOU (Jacob) FRUITFUL and MULTIPLY
YOU (Jacob), that YOU (Jacob) may be an Assembly of Peoples;
and GIVE YOU (Jacob) The Blessing of Abraham, to YOU (Jacob) and Your (Jacob’s) Descendants with YOU (Jacob),
that YOU (Jacob) may INHERIT The Land in
which YOU (Jacob) are a Stranger, which GOD (GOD
Almighty) GAVE to Abraham.”
Genesis 35:27-29
Then Jacob came to His Father, Isaac, at Mamre, or
Kirjath Arba (that is, Hebron),
where Abraham and Isaac had dwelt. Now,
The Days of Isaac were One Hundred and Eighty (180) Years. So, Isaac BREATHED His Last and died, and was
gathered to His (Isaac’s) People, being
old and full of days. And His (Issac’s)
Sons, Esau and Jacob buried Him (Isaac).
Matthew
8:10-11
When Jesus (Jesus Christ) heard it, He (Jesus Christ) marveled, and
said to Those (Believers) who FOLLOWED, “Assuredly, I (Jesus Christ) say to YOU (Believers), I
(Jesus Christ) have NOT found such Great Faith, NOT even in Israel!
And I (Jesus
Christ) say to YOU (Believers), that MANY will COME from East and West, and SIT
DOWN with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in The Kingdom of Heaven.
