OLD TESTAMENT: GENESIS 24:52 - 26:16
24:52 It happened that when Avraham's servant heard their words, he bowed himself down to the eretz to the LORD. 53 The servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing, and gave them to Rivka. He gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things. 54 They ate and drank, he and the men who were with him, and stayed all night. They rose up in the morning, and he said, "Send me away to my master." 55 Her brother and her mother said, "Let the young lady stay with us a few days, at least ten. After that she will go." 56 He said to them, "Don't hinder me, seeing the LORD has prospered my way. Send me away that I may go to my master." 57 They said, "We will call the young lady, and ask her."58 They called Rivka, and said to her, "Will you go with this man?" She said, "I will go." 59 They sent away Rivka, their sister, with her nurse, Avraham's servant, and his men. 60 They blessed Rivka, and said to her, "Our sister, may you be the mother of thousands of ten thousands, and let your seed possess the gate of those who hate them." 61 Rivka arose with her ladies. They rode on the camels, and followed the man. The servant took Rivka, and went his way. 62 Yitzchak came from the way of Be'er-Lachai-Ro'i. For he lived in the land of the South. 63Yitzchak went out to meditate in the field at the evening. He lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, there were camels coming. 64 Rivka lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Yitzchak, she dismounted from the camel. 65 She said to the servant, "Who is the man who is walking in the field to meet us?" The servant said, "It is my master." She took her veil, and covered herself. 66 The servant told Yitzchak all the things that he had done. 67 Yitzchak brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rivka, and she became his wife. He loved her. Yitzchak was comforted after his mother's death.
25:1 Avraham took another wife, and her name was Keturah. 2 She bore him Zimran, Yokshan, Medan, Midyan, Yishbak, and Shuach. 3 Yokshan became the father of Sheva, and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Ashshurim, Letushim, and Le'ummim. 4 The sons of Midyan: Efah,Efer, Hanokh, Avida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
5 Avraham gave all that he had to Yitzchak,
6 but to the sons of the concubines who Avraham had, Avraham gave gifts. He sent them away from Yitzchak his son, while he yet lived, eastward, to the east country.
7 These are the days of the years of Avraham's life which he lived: one hundred seventy-five years.
8 Avraham gave up the spirit, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full, and was gathered to his people.
9 Yitzchak and Yishma'el, his sons, buried him in the cave of Makhpelah, in the field of Efron, the son of Tzochar the Hittite, which is before Mamre, 10 the field which Avraham purchased of the children of Het. There was Avraham buried, with Sarah his wife. 11 It happened after the death of Avraham, that God blessed Yitzchak, his son. Yitzchak lived by Be'er-Lachai-Ro'i.12 Now this is the history of the generations of Yishma'el, Avraham's son, whom Hagar the Mitzrian, Sarah's handmaid, bore to Avraham. 13 These are the names of the sons of Yishma'el, by their names, according to the order of their birth: the firstborn of Yishma'el, Nevayot, then Kedar, Adbe'el, Mivsam, 14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa, 15 Hadad, Tema, Yetur, Nafish, and Kedemah. 16 These are the sons of Yishma'el, and these are their names, by their villages, and by their encampments: twelve princes, according to their nations. 17 These are the years of the life of Yishma'el: one hundred thirty-seven years. He gave up the spirit and died, and was gathered to his people. 18 They lived from Havilah to Shur that is before Mitzrayim, as you go toward Ashshur. He lived opposite all his relatives. 19 This is the history of the generations of Yitzchak, Avraham's son. Avraham became the father of Yitzchak. 20 Yitzchak was forty years old when he took Rivka, the daughter of Betu'el the Arammian of Paddan-Aram, the sister of Lavan the Arammian, to be his wife. 21 Yitzchak entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren. The LORD was entreated by him, and Rivka his wife conceived. 22 The children struggled together within her. She said, "If it be so, why do I live?" She went to inquire of the LORD. 23 The LORD said to her, Two nations are in your womb, Two peoples will be separated from your body. The one people will be stronger than the other people. The elder will serve the younger. 24 When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. 25 The first came out red all over, like a hairy garment. They named him Esav. 26 After that, his brother came out, and his hand had hold on Esav's heel. He was named Yaakov. Yitzchak was sixty years old when she bore them. 27 The boys grew. Esav was a skillful hunter, a man of the field. Yaakov was a quiet man, living in tents. 28 Now Yitzchak loved Esav, because he ate his venison. Rivka loved Yaakov.
29 Yaakov boiled stew. Esav came in from the field, and he was famished. 30 Esav said to Yaakov, "Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am famished." Therefore his name was called Edom.
31 Yaakov said, "First, sell me your birthright." 32 Esav said, "Behold, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?" 33 Yaakov said, "Swear to me first." He swore to him. He sold his birthright to Yaakov. 34 Ya`akov gave Esav bread and stew of lentils. He ate and drank, rose up, and went his way. So Esav despised his birthright.
26:1 There was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Avraham. Yitzchak went to Avimelekh king of the Pelishtim, to Gerar. 2 The LORD appeared to him, and said, "Don't go down into Mitzrayim. Dwell in the land which I will tell you of. 3 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you. For to you, and to your seed, I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to Avraham your father. 4 I will multiply your seed as the stars of the sky, and will give to your seed all these lands. In your seed will all the nations of the eretz be blessed, 5 because Avraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my mitzvot, my statutes, and my laws." 6 Yitzchak lived in Gerar. 7 The men of the place asked him about his wife. He said, "She is my sister," for he was afraid to say, "My wife," lest, he thought, the men of the place might kill me for Rivka, because she was beautiful to look on. 8 It happened, when he had been there a long time, that Avimelekh king of the Pelishtim looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Yitzchak was caressing Rivka, his wife. 9 Avimelekh called Yitzchak, and said, "Behold, surely she is your wife. Why did you say, 'She is my sister?'" Yitzchak said to him, "Because I said, 'Lest I die because of her.'" 10 Avimelekh said, "What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us!" 11 Avimelekh charged all the people, saying, "He who touches this man or his wife will surely be put to death." 12 Yitzchak sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year one hundred times what he planted. The LORD blessed him. 13 The man grew great, and grew more and more until he became very great. 14 He had possessions of flocks, possessions of herds, and a great household. The Pelishtim envied him. 15 Now all the wells which his father's servants had dug in the days of Avraham his father, the Pelishtim had stopped, and filled with eretz. 16 Avimelekh said to Yitzchak, "Go from us, for you are much mightier than we."
NEW TESTAMENT: MATTHEW 8:18 - 34
8:18 Now when Yeshua saw great multitudes about him, he gave the order to depart to the other side.
19 A Sofer came, and said to him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."
20 Yeshua said to him, "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head."
21 Another of his talmidim said to him, "Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father."
22 But Yeshua said to him, "Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead."
23 When he got into a boat, his talmidim followed him.
24 Behold, a great tempest arose in the sea, so much that the boat was covered with the waves, but he was asleep.
25 They came to him, and woke him up, saying, "Save us, Lord! We are dying!"
26 He said to them, "Why are you fearful, oh you of little faith?" Then he got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm.
27 The men marveled, saying, "What kind of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"
28 When he came to the other side, into the country of the Gadarenes, two people possessed by demons met him there, coming forth out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no man could pass by that way.
29 Behold, they cried out, saying, "What do we have to do with you, Yeshua, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?"
30 Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away from them.
31 The demons begged him, saying, "If you cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of pigs."
32 He said to them, "Go!" They came out, and went into the herd of pigs: and behold, the whole herd of pigs rushed down the cliff into the sea, and died in the water.
33 Those who fed them fled, and went away into the city, and told everything, including what happened to those who were possessed with demons.
34 Behold, all the city came out to meet Yeshua. When they saw him, they begged that he would depart from their borders.
