The chosen people, Israel, are descendants of Abraham, whose successive generations of kin come from Eber, whose family tree go back to Noah, whom the Everlasting Covenant was established with, from YaHuWaH ALaHiYM, as recorded in Genesis.
I began to explain, from what is written in GEN 9:1-9:
YaHuWaH ALaHiYM established the Everlasting Covenant with Noah, and his blessed descendants, in the days following, after the whole earth was flooded completely with water.
GEN 9:18-25:
Of the three sons of Noah, Shem was blessed to bring forth descendants, who were known as the Hebrew people.
GEN 9:26 And he said, blessed be YaHuWaH God:(ALaHiYM) of Shem; And Canaan shall be his servant:(servants from the gentiles).
GEN 9:27 God:(ALaHiYM) shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; And Canaan shall be his servant.
Here are the generations of Shem:
GEN 11:10 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad:(ARaP-KaSHaD) two years after the flood:
GEN 11:11 And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
GEN 11:12 And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah:
GEN 11:13 And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
GEN 11:14 And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:
GEN 11:15 And Salah lived after he begat 'Eber' four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
The Hebrew definition of the English word 'Hebrew':
H5680 ibriy ib-ree'
Patronymic from H5677; An Eberite (that is, Hebrew) or descendant of Eber: - Hebrew (-ess, woman).
Notice, Eber:
GEN 11:16 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:
GEN 11:17 And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.
GEN 11:18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:
GEN 11:19 And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.
GEN 11:20 And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:
GEN 11:21 And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.
GEN 11:22 And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:
GEN 11:23 And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
GEN 11:24 And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:
GEN 11:25 And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.
GEN 11:26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
GEN 11:27 Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Haran begat Lot.
GEN 11:28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
GEN 11:29 And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram’s wife was Sarai; And the name of Nahor’s wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
Milcah and Iscah were daughters of Haran. Iscah is another name for Sarai.
GEN 11:30 But Sarai was barren; She had no child.
GEN 11:31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram’s wife; And they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; And they came unto Haran:(ChaRaN), and dwelt there.
According to the written scriptures, Terah lived 70 years, and begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran, while living in Ur of the Chaldees.
Haran died in Ur of the Chaldees, before Terah took Abram, Sarai, and Lot, to go into the land of Canaan; They came unto CHaRaN, and dwelt there. CHaRaN is not in the land of Canaan.
GEN 11:32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran:(ChaRaN).
According to what is written in these scriptures:
Terah died in ChaRaN, at the age of 205. From the time that Terah was 70 years old in Ur of the Chaldees, until Terah died in ChaRaN at the age of 205, there was 135 more years of Terah’s life.
70 + 135 = 205.
GEN 12:4 So Abram departed, as YaHuWaH had spoken unto him; And Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed out of ChaRaN.
After Terah died in ChaRaN, then Abram, Sarai, and Lot departed out of ChaRaN. At that time Abram was 75 years old.
The written words of scripture are not showing the exact age of Terah concerning his begotten sons.
Now, read GEN 11:31, again:
GEN 11:31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram’s wife; And they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; And they came unto Haran:(ChaRaN), and dwelt there.
Notice, it is written up above:
Terah took Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram’s wife; They went forth to get away from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; (and) entered into ChaRaN, (and) dwelt there.
Abram and Nahor married Sarai and Milcah in Ur of the Chaldees, before Terah took them from Ur of the Chaldees, after Haran died.
According to written scripture, Terah died at age 205. Then Abram departs from ChaRaN, being 75 years old.
Therefore, I will write that Terah was at the age of 70, when he begot Haran. When Abram and Nahor were begotten, Terah was older than 70. The numbers of 70 + 135 = 205, then subtract 75 from 205, and the number is 130.
Terah was 130 years old when he begot Abram and Nahor.
Abram being at age 75, departs from ChaRaN, after death of Terah.
Terah was 70 years old when he begot Haran in Ur of Chaldee. 60 years later Terah begets Abram and Nahor, being at the age of 130.
Abram departs from ChaRaN at the age of 75, after the death of Terah. Therefore, the extra 60 years of Terah's life existed before the birth of Abram. Terah begot Abram and possibly Nahor at the age of 130.
60 + 70 = 130 years.
130 + 75 = 205 years.
According to Scripture:
Haran lived to marry his wife, and beget Lot, Milcah, and Iscah:(Sarai) in Ur of the Chaldees. Then Haran Died in Ur of Chaldees, before Terah, Abraham, Lot, and Iscah:(Sarai) departed into Haran:(CHaRaN). Abram was 75 years old when he departed from CHaRaN, after the death of his father, Terah, to go into the land of Canaan. Abram:(Abraham) lives 100 more years, from the time that he departed from CHaRaN at age 75.
GEN 25:7 This is the whole age of the years of Abraham’s life, which he lived: an hundred threescore and fifteen years.
Abraham lived 175 years from birth before dying.
Abram and Nahor was old enough to marry Sarai and Milcah, when they lived in Ur of the Chaldees, at the time when Haran died. Therefore, Terah, Abram, Lot, and Iscah:(Sarai) did NOT begin to depart from Ur of Chaldea, when Terah was at the age of 70.
Terah had to have been at the age of 130 when he begot Abram. When Terah died at the age of 205 in CHaRaN, then at the time, Abram departed from ChaRaN to go into the land of Canaan.
Abraham was 100 years old when Isaac was born.
-----------------------
ACT 7:2 And he said, men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God:(ALaHiYM) of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,
ACT 7:3 And said unto him, get out of thy country and from thy kindred, and come into the land, which I will show you.
ACT 7:4 At that time he went forth out of the land of the Chaldaeans, to dwell in Charran. From there, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell.
According to precept upon precept, line upon line, and here a little, there a little:
YaHuWaH ALaHiYM appeared unto Abram when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in ChaRaN. When Abram was in Mesopotamia, YaHuWaH ALaHiYM said unto Abram, "Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee."
Now, I ask, is Ur of the Chaldeans the same location as Mesopotamia?
Mesopotamia:
H763 'aram naharayim ar-am' nah-har-ah'-yim
From H758 and the dual of H5104; Aram of (the) two rivers (Euphrates and Tigris) or Mesopotamia: - Aham-Naharaim, Mesopotamia.
H758 'aram arawm'
From the same as H759; The highland; Aram or Syria, and its inhabitants; Also the name of a son of Shem, a grandson of Nahor, and of an Israelite: - Aram, Mesopotamia, Syria, Syrians.
G3318 mesopotamia mes-op-ot-am-ee'-ah
From G3319 and G4215; Mesopotamia (as lying between the Euphrates and the Tigris); Compare [H763], a region of Asia: - Mesopotamia.
Neh 9:7 Thou art YaHuWaH ALaHiYM, who didst choose Abram, and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of Abraham;
Ur:
H218 'ur oor
The same as H217; Ur, a place in Chaldaea; Also an Israelite: - Ur.
H217 'ur oor
From H215; Flame, hence (in the plural) the east (as being the region of light): - fire, light. See also H224.
H215 'or ore
A primitive root; To be (causatively make) luminous (literally and metaphorically): - x break of day, glorious, kindle, (be, en-, give, show) light (-en, -ened), set on fire, shine.
Chaldees:
H3778 kasdy kasdymah kas-dee', kas-dee'-maw
(occasionally shown as the second form with enclitic; Meaning towards the Kasdites); patronymic from H3777 (only in the plural); A Kasdite, or descendant of Kesed; By implication a Chaldaean (as if so descended); Also an astrologer (as if proverbial of that people): - into Chaldea), patronymically from H3777 (only in the plural); A Kasdite; or descendant of Kesed; By implication a Chaldan (as if so descended); Also an astrologer (as if proverbial of that people): - Chaldeans, Chaldees, inhabitants of Chaldea.
H3777 kesed keh'-sed
From an unused root of uncertain meaning; Kesed, a relative of Abraham: - Chesed.
ISA 47:1 Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.
ISA 48:14 All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; Which among them hath declared these things? The LORD hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.
ISA 48:20 Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; Say ye, the LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob.
Here is the conclusion:
Ur is located at the far southern end of Mesopotamia. Terah travelled northward through most of Mesopotamia, before arriving at ChaRaN of Assyria, which may have been in the northern most part of Mesopotamia, in Abram’s day. ChaRaN is located north to northwest of Nineveh.
Therefore, YaHuWaH ALaHiYM made contact, two different times with Abram, to bring him out away from Mesopotamia. The first contact was in Ur, and the second contact was in ChaRaN.
YaHuWaH ALaHiYM commands Abram to get out of his native country, away from his kindred, away from the house of his father, unto a land, which Abram will be shown, after the death of Terah, in ChaRaN. Moreover, YaHuWaH ALaHiYM blessed Abram, because of his obedience unto the commands of YaHuWaH ALaHiYM.
GEN 12:1 Now YaHuWaH had said unto Abram, get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
GEN 12:2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; And thou shalt be a blessing:
GEN 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee. All families of the land will be blessed.
GEN 12:4 So Abram departed, as YaHuWaH had spoken unto him; And Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed out of Haran:(ChaRaN).
GEN 12:5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in ChaRaN; And they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; And into the land of Canaan they came.
GEN 12:10 There was a famine in the land. Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there, because the famine was severe in the land.
Abram journeys on forward toward the south and went down into Egypt to sojourn, dwelling temporary, because there was famine in the land of Canaan, where he dwelt in the presence of YaHuWaH.
Notice below:
Abram the Hebrew:(a descendant of Eber). Abraham was a descendant of Eber.
The word 'Hebrew' means a descendant of Eber.
GEN 14:13 There went one, who had escaped, and told 'Abram the Hebrew'; For he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram.
YaHuWaH ALaHiYM establishes the Everlasting Covenant with Abram and his seed, who was to be born from Sarai his wife.
The Covenant was confirmed with Abraham when Sarah bore Isaac.
Read GEN 15:1-21.
YaHuWaH ALaHiYM renamed Abram with the name: Abraham:(a father of many nations).
GEN 17:1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, LORD:(YHWH) appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I:(we) am (are) the Almighty:(SHDY):(Mighty) (and) God:(AL)(Strong); Walk before:(in the presence of) me, and be thou perfect.
Notice up above:
The word 'LORD' is the Hebrew word 'YHWH'. The meaning of the Hebrew word 'YHWH' can be either plural or singular: 'We, the Self-Existent', OR 'He, the Self-Existent'. Now, the primitive Hebrew root word, of 'YHWH' is 'HWH', and it means to exist.
The word 'I' also has a meaning as (We). The word 'Almighty' is the Hebrew word 'SHDY', which means (Powerful). In GEN 17:1, the word 'God' is the Hebrew word 'AL', which also mean (Mighty, Mighty One, Almighty).
The purpose of showing this up above, is to bring unto one's attention, that Sovereign YaHuWaH Almighty did not appear unto Abram, alone, but YaHuWaH Almighty sent ALaHiYM:(the Two Cherubs), who have righteous honour, authority, and character within them.
Now, this verse alone is not really enough information to prove this point, but I ask the reader to study all of Genesis chapters 17, 18, and 19 of the scriptures, where the writings show Eternal Sovereign Messengers of YaHuWaH Almighty appearing in the presence of Abraham. These Self Existent and Continual Mighty Ones of YaHuWaH Almighty are Sovereign over humankind. YaHuWaH AL:(Almighty) is Sovereign over YaHuWaH ALaHiYM:(Mighty Ones).
Take note of Genesis chapter 17, where it is shown that ALaHiYM is talking unto Abram. This is shown below, in GEN chapter 17:3.
GEN 17:2 And I will make a Covenant between thee and me and will multiply thee very exceedingly.
GEN 17:3 And Abram fell on his face: and God:(ALaHiYM) talked with him, saying,
GEN 17:4 As for me, behold, my Covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
Now, take note of:
GEN 18:1 And YaHuWaH appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
Notice, up above, 'YaHuWaH appeared'.
GEN 18:2 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, "Three men:(Mighty Men of high degree) stood by" him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,
Notice up above:
"Three men:(Mighty Men of high degree) stood by"
GEN 18:3 'And said, my Lord:(Sovereign Master)', If now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
Notice up above:
'And said, my Lord:(Sovereign Master)',
GEN 18:4 Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
GEN 18:5 I will fetch a morsel of bread, to comfort your hearts. Hereafter cross over, truly, after thus coming to your servant. They said, so do, as thou hast said.
Now, a conclusion:
Concerning YaHuWaH Family, YaHuWaH ALaHiYM, who are Mighty Messengers, existing as Spirit Beings of righteousness, appeared unto Abraham, who regarded them as Sovereign Masters.
In other words, YaHuWaH is a Family Unit. There is YaHuWaH AL:(Almighty), and there is YaHuWaH ALaHiYM.
Now, look at chapter 19:
GEN 19:1 And there came 'Two Angels:(Messengers)' to Sodom at even; And Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; And he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;
Notice, up above, there are 'Two angels:(Messengers)'.
Back in chapter 18, the three men left away from Abraham and went to Sodom. Then, in chapter 19, there is written Two Angels:(Messengers), who came to Sodom.
GEN 19:2 And he said, behold now, my 'Lords:(Sovereign Masters)', turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. They said, nay; But we will abide in the street all night.
Notice, up above, again, "Lords:(Sovereign Masters)'.
Here is my conclusion:
YaHuWaH AL:(Almighty) did not appear unto Abraham. YaHuWaH ALaHiYM:(Mighty Messengers, Mighty Ones) appeared unto Abraham. These Mighty Messengers are Spirit Beings.
Why do I write this?
Because at first, in chapter 18, there are Three Mighty Men of high degree. Then, in chapter 19, we read of Two Mighty Messengers.
Moreover, if one continue to read these chapters, one will be able to take note that Abraham is speaking unto YaHuWaH, but YaHuWaH, whom Abraham is speaking unto, is ALaHiYM:(Mighty Messengers, Mighty Ones).
GEN 19:29 And it came to pass, when God:(ALaHiYM) destroyed the cities of the plain, that God:(ALaHiYM) remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities, wherein Lot dwelt.
The Hebrew word 'ALaHiYM', meaning 'Mighty Ones, Gods, Messengers', is a plural word for the Hebrew words 'ALWH' and 'ALH'. 'ALWH' and 'ALH' means 'God', and are definitely from the Hebrew word 'AL'. 'AL' means 'Mighty One, God, Almighty', and is a shortened form of the Hebrew word 'AYL'. 'AYL' means 'Mighty Chief'. 'Al':(Mighty One, God, Almighty) is a primitive root of 'ALaHiYM':(Mighty Ones, Gods, Messengers). According to that which is written in Genesis, these Mighty Ones are Angels, who are Mighty Messengers. Moreover, I have studied many other scriptures, pertaining to these two words 'AL' and 'ALaHiYM'. Therefore, I have concluded that YaHuWaH is a Holy Family. The Holy YaHuWaH family is a righteous unit. In other words, YaHuWaH Almighty is not alone. The first chapter of Genesis prove that YaHuWaH Almighty is not alone:(one). In addition, I will say very strongly, that there is 'NO' ancient Hebrew writings of Genesis, showing that the Hebrew word 'YaHuWaH' was originally written in Genesis chapter 1, to replace the Hebrew word 'ALaHiYM'. As a matter of fact, the Hebrew word YaHuWaH, does not take the place of the Hebrew words 'AL' and 'ALaHiYM', anywhere, in all of the Hebrew Writings of the Scriptures.
There is a theological teaching, that Yahweh is one and that He alone created heaven and the earth. This manner of thinking can NOT be found in the Hebrew Writings of the Scriptures. The word 'Theos' is a Greek word, which means 'divinity, one God:(AL)'. Those, who teach theology, believe in a divinity, which exist as one God:(AL), only. However, the scriptures show that there is the ALaHiYM of the AL, who are self-existent and continual.
Therefore, here is my conclusion of this matter:
The Two Mighty Messengers:(ALaHiYM, Cherubim) of YaHuWaH Almighty:(AL) give charge unto Abraham', saying (Walk in my presence and become perfect.) , concerning the Everlasting Covenant, which was established with Abraham and the seed, who was born from Sarah.
All of this up above agrees with the Law.
Why do I write this?
If a Yahweh, who is alone, appeared unto Abraham, then a Yahweh would have transgressed the Law.
Why is this true?
In the mouth of two or more witnesses is the Law established.
Yisrayl Bill Hawkins, the False prophet of the House of Yahweh, is like his god:(al). Both are alone. They can NOT fulfill the Law of ALaHiYM. Also remember, Jacob Hawkins was not in unity with his brother's teachings. These, two men, could not fulfill the Law. Today, Yisrayl Bill Hawkins is still transgressing the Law.
Now back to GEN:
GEN 17:5 Neither will your name any longer be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; For a father of many nations have I made thee.
GEN 17:6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
GEN 17:7 I will establish the Covenant with your seed hereafter in their generations, for an Everlasting Covenant, to be a God:(ALaHiYM) unto your seed, hereafter.
GEN 17:8 I will give, unto your seed hereafter, the land where you sojourn: namely, all the land of Canaan, for an Everlasting possession. I will be their God:(ALaHiYM).
GEN 17:9 And God:(ALaHiYM) said unto Abraham, you are to keep, namely, the Covenant: you and your seed hereafter in their generations.
GEN 17:10 Likewise, the Covenant that is to be kept with your seed after you, all males must be circumcised.
GEN 17:11 Circumcise the flesh of the foreskin, as a mark of the Covenant with the circumcised.
GEN 17:12 Circumcise all males, who are eight-days-old descendant born in the house, and who are bought with money of any born foreign, who are not descended from you.
GEN 17:13 The male born in the house, and the male bought with money, must be circumcised: the cutting exist in the flesh for an Everlasting Covenant.
GEN 17:14 The uncircumcised male whose flesh of the foreskin is not circumcised: that person will be cut off from his people; He has broken namely the Covenant.
GEN 17:15 ALaHiYM said unto Abraham, concerning Sarai thy wife: do not call her name Sarai, because her name is to be Sarah.
The Two Cherubs, Mighty Messengers, renamed Sarai with the name Sarah:(a mistress, that is, female noble: lady, princess, queen). Sarah will be a noble female among the nations of Israel, IN the Eternal Kingdom.
This spoken word, concerning Sarah, will be performed:(fulfilled) IN the Eternal Kingdom.
GEN 17:16 I will bless, giving you a son even from her: a blessing that will exist for the Israel nations. Kings of the Israel nations will come from her.
Abraham and his wife, no longer, had the ability, to sexually come together and bring forth a son, because of Sarah's old age. Therefore, YaHuWaH ALaHiYM promised Abraham a seed, who would be born from Sarah his wife. The Mighty Messengers, who represent YaHuWaH Almighty, caused Sarah, Abraham’s wife, to bear Isaac, by the Holy Spirit.
Therefore, YaHuWaH ALaHiYM covenanted with Abraham and his seed, Isaac, who came from Sarah. The Everlasting Covenant was established with Abraham, who came from the loins of Terah his father, and the Everlasting Covenant was established with Abraham’s seed, Isaac, who came from Sarah.
Isaac did NOT come from Abraham’s loins, because the fruit of Sarah was sterile, due to old age. Sarah bore Isaac by the Holy Spirit. Sarah was a daughter of Haran, who came from Terah, who was from the family tree, which go all the way back to Noah, who walked in the Law.
In the same manner, Jesus:(YaHuWSHuWAh) Christ:(MaSHiYCH) did not come from Joseph’s:(Yahuwsaph's) loins. The virgin Miryam, who bore Jesus:(YaHuWSHuWAh) by the Holy Spirit, was of the family tree, which came from Judah, who was of Israel.
GEN 17:17 Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed saying in his heart, shall a child be born unto him, who is an hundred years old? Will Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear?
GEN 17:18 Abraham said unto ALaHiYM, O that Ishmael:(YaSHaMAhAL) might live before thee.
GEN 17:19 God:(ALaHiYM) said, Sarah, thy wife, will bear thee a son indeed; And thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my Covenant with him for an Everlasting Covenant and with his descendants after him.
Abraham's firstborn son, Ishmael, (who came from Hagar, Sarah's maidservant), was given a lessor inheritance that was NOT of the promised inheritance, which was given to Isaac. Ishmael did NOT continue in obeying the Law.
GEN 16:10 The malak:(Messenger) of YaHuWaH said unto her, I will multiply exceedingly, namely thy seed: truly numbered in abundance.
GEN 16:11 And the Angel of YaHuWaH said unto her, behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; Because YaHuWaH hath heard thy affliction.
GEN 16:12 And he will be a wild man; 'his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him'; And 'he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren'.
Back to GEN 20:
GEN 20:1 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
GEN 20:12 And yet indeed she:(Sarai) is my sister:(a kindred); She is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; And she:(Iscah, Sarai) became my wife.
Abraham is saying, Sarah is one, who builds upon the family, but Sarai is not a female kindred by blood, for Sarai is not the daughter of Abraham’s mother. Sarai was a daughter of Haran.
Sovereign YaHuWaH AL:(Almighty), through the Two Cherubs:(Mighty Messengers), confirmed the Everlasting Covenant with Abraham, when Isaac was born:
GEN 21:1 And YaHuWaH visited Sarah, as he had said, and YaHuWaH did unto Sarah, as he had spoken.
GEN 21:2 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time, when God:(ALaHiYM) had spoken to him.
GEN 21:3 And Abraham called:(mentioned, gave) the name of his son, who was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
GEN 21:4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God:(ALaHiYM) had commanded him.
GEN 21:5 And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
GEN 21:6 And Sarah said, God:(ALaHiYM) hath made me to laugh, so that all, which hear, will laugh with me.
GEN 21:7 And she said, who would have said unto Abraham that Sarah should have given children suck? For I have born him a son in his old age.
GEN 21:8 The child was nourished and weaned: and Abraham made a great Feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.
GEN 21:33 Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and proclaimed the name:(honour, authority, and character) of YaHuWaH, the Everlasting God:(AL, Almighty).
GEN 21:34 And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.
GEN 22:1 And it occurred, after these things, that God:(ALaHiYM) did tempt:(prove, test) Abraham, and said:(called) unto him:(Abraham). He:(Abraham) said, lo.
GEN 22:2 And he said, take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; And offer him there, for a burnt offering, upon one of the mountains, which I will tell thee of.
Read all of GEN 22:14-23.
Abraham had a living brother:(close kindred, an associate), whose name was Nahor. They both came from the loins of Terah their father. Terah also begot Haran, who died in Ur of the Chaldees.
Haran begot Iscah and Milcah before he died. Iscah was given the name, Sarai:(Sarah). Abraham married Haran's daughter, as a virgin maidservant, named Sarai. Nahor married Haran's daughter, as a virgin maidservant, named Milcah. Nahor, begot Bethuel, who begot Rebekah and Laban, who begot Rachel and Leah. Abraham's son, Isaac, married Bethuel’s daughter, as a virgin maidservant, named Rebekah. Jacob the son of Isaac, married Laban’s two daughters, as virgin maidservants, named Rachel and Leah.
GEN 22:20 And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor;
GEN 22:21 Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
GEN 22:22 And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
GEN 22:23 And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
Abraham sends his oldest servant into the country, unto Abraham’s kindred, to buy a wife for his son Isaac. The country, where Abraham’s kindred dwelt, was the land of Aram in Padanaram, a region of Syria, which is east from Lebanon, and that is north to northeast of the Jordan river, from Beersheba where Abraham dwelt.
GEN 24:1 And Abraham was old and well stricken in age: and YaHuWaH had blessed Abraham in all things.
GEN 24:2 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, who ruled over all, which he had, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:
GEN 24:3 And I will make thee swear by YaHuWaH, the God:(ALaHiYM) of heaven, and the God:(ALaHiYM) of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son, of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
GEN 24:4 But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.
GEN 24:5 And the servant said unto him, peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?
GEN 24:6 And Abraham said unto him, beware thou that thou bring:(take) not my son thither:(there) again.
GEN 24:7 The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, unto thy seed:(chosen descendants) will I give this land; He shall send his Angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence:(there).
GEN 24:8 If the woman will not be willing to follow behind, then you will be cleared from this oath. In any wise, take not my son there, again.
GEN 24:9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter.
GEN 24:10 And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; For all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.
GEN 24:15 And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder,
GEN 24:23 Saying, whose daughter art thou? Tell me now, is there room in thy father's house for us to lodge?
GEN 24:24 And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah, which she bore unto Nahor.
GEN 24:29 And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well.
GEN 24:49 Now, if ye will deal kindly, in truth, with my master, tell me. If not, tell me: that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.
GEN 24:50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, the thing proceedeth from YaHuWaH: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.
GEN 24:51 Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, as YaHuWaH hath spoken.
GEN 24:67 And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; And he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.
GEN 25:5 And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
GEN 25:6 But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.
The sons, of Abraham’s concubines, were sent eastward, unto the east country, away from Isaac his son. Isaac was living in the land of Canaan. After the death of Abraham, ALaHiYM blessed Abraham’s son, Isaac. Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi:(well of a living (one) my seer). Isaac was kept alive, nourished up, and preserved by ALaHiYM.
GEN 25:11 It occurred after the death of Abraham, that God:(ALaHiYM) blessed his son Isaac. Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi.
GEN 25:19 And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham begat Isaac:
GEN 25:20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.
GEN 25:21 And Isaac intreated YaHuWaH for his wife, because she was barren: and YaHuWaH was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
YaHuWaH ALaHiYM confirmed the Everlasting Covenant with Isaac, when Jacob was born.
GEN 25:22 And the children struggled together within her; And she said, if it be so, why am I thus? She went to enquire of YaHuWaH.
GEN 25:23 And YaHuWaH said unto her, two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; And the one people shall be stronger than the other people; And the elder shall serve the younger.
GEN 25:24 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
GEN 25:25 And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; And they called:(mentioned, gave) his name Esau.
GEN 25:26 Afterwards, as his brother came out; His hand took hold on Esau’s heel. His name was called Jacob. Isaac was threescore years old, when she bore them.
Isaac's wife, Rebekah, bore twins from her womb, namely Jacob and Esau. Esau was the firstborn son of Isaac, who sold his birthright unto Jacob his brother.
Esau, the firstborn son of Isaac, despised the firstborn son's right of receiving twice as much inheritance from Isaac, his father. Esau surrendered:(agreed to give up) the firstborn son's right unto Jacob, the second born son of Isaac.
Esau's firstborn birthright that was sold unto Jacob, gave Jacob the right to receive of the promised inheritance that was given to Isaac. Esau was given a lessor inheritance, which was NOT of the promised inheritance that was given to Isaac. Esau did NOT continue in obeying the Law, when he was under his father's rule.
GEN 25:31 And Jacob said, sell me this day thy birthright.
GEN 25:32 And Esau said, behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?
GEN 25:33 And Jacob said, swear to me this day; And he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
GEN 25:34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; And he did eat and drink and rose up, and went his way: thus, Esau despised his birthright.
GEN 26:1 There was a famine in the land beside the first famine, which was in the days of Abraham. Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.
GEN 26:2 And YaHuWaH appeared unto him, and said, go not down into Egypt; Dwell in the land, which I shall tell thee of:
GEN 26:3 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; For unto thee, and unto thy seed:(chosen descendants), I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath, which I sware unto Abraham thy father;
GEN 26:4 And I will make thy seed:(chosen descendants) to multiply, as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed:(chosen descendants), all these countries; And in thy seed:(chosen descendants), shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
GEN 26:5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
GEN 26:6 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
GEN 26:12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold. YaHuWaH blessed him.
GEN 26:13 And the man, waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:
GEN 26:14 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
GEN 26:23 He went up from thence to Beersheba.
GEN 26:24 And YaHuWaH appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God:(ALaHiYM) of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed:(chosen descendants) for my servant Abraham’s sake.
GEN 26:25 And he builded an altar there, and called:(proclaimed) upon:(with) the name:(honour, authority, and character) of YaHuWaH, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac’s servants digged a well.
GEN 26:34 And Esau was forty years old, when he took to wife, Judith, the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath, the daughter of Elon the Hittite:
GEN 26:35 Who were a grief of mind, unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
Isaac blesses Jacob with the promised inheritance of the land of Israel, before his death. Esau is blessed with a lesser inheritance.
Read GEN 27:18-30.
GEN 27:35 He said, your brother came with subtilty, and took away your blessing.
GEN 27:36 He said, is not he rightly named Jacob? He supplanted me twice. He took away my birthright. See. Now he hath taken away my blessing. He said, hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?
GEN 27:37 And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, behold, I have made him Master:(a future righteous master of a family of Israel of the 12 tribes of Israel), and all his brethren have I given to him for servants:(future bought bondservants, of the gentile families, who will sojourn, dwelling among the families of the tribes of Israel, in the land of Israel); And with grain and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto thee, my son?
GEN 27:41 And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, the days of mourning for my father are at hand; Then will I slay my brother Jacob.
GEN 27:42 And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she sent and called:(called for) Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself, purposing to kill thee.
GEN 27:43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; And arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran;
GEN 27:44 And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's fury turn away;
GEN 27:45 Until thy brother's anger turn away from thee, and he forget what thou hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch thee from thence: why should I be deprived also of you both in one day?
GEN 27:46 And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these that are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?
GEN 28:1 And Isaac called:(called for) Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
GEN 28:2 Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father; And take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother.
GEN 28:3 God:(AL):(Mighty) [and] Almighty:(SHDY):(Powerful), bless thee, make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;
Made clear:
GEN 28:3 The Mighty and Powerful, bless thee, make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;
GEN 28:4 And give thee the blessing of Abraham to thee and to thy seed:(chosen descendants) with thee; That thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God:(ALaHiYM) (will) give unto Abraham.
GEN 28:5 Isaac sent away Jacob, who went to Padanaram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, and the brother of Rebekah, whom was Jacob and Esau’s mother.
GEN 28:6 When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padanaram, to take him a wife from there; And that as he blessed him, he gave him a charge, saying, thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
GEN 28:7 Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padanaram;
GEN 28:8 Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father.
GEN 28:9 Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives, which he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife.
GEN 28:10 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran:(ChaRaN).
GEN 28:11 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; And he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.
GEN 28:12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the Angels of God:(ALaHiYM) ascending and descending on it.
GEN 28:13 And, behold, YaHuWaH stood above it, and said, I am YaHuWaH God:(ALaHiYM) of Abraham thy father, and the God:(ALaHiYM) of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed:(chosen descendants);
GEN 28:14 And thy seed:(chosen descendants) shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed:(chosen descendants) shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
GEN 28:15 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; For I will not leave thee, until I have done what I have spoken to thee of.
GEN 28:16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, surely YaHuWaH is in this place; And I knew it not.
GEN 28:17 He was afraid, and said, how dreadful is this place. This is none other but the House of God:(ALaHiYM) and this is the gate of heaven.
GEN 28:18 And Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone, which he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.
GEN 28:19 And he called:(addressed by) the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called:(addressed by) Luz at the first.
GEN 28:20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, if God:(ALaHiYM) will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
GEN 28:21 So that I come again to my father's house in peace; Then shall YaHuWaH be my God:(ALaHiYM):
GEN 28:22 This stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God:(ALaHiYM) House. Of all that thou shalt give me, I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
GEN 29:1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.
GEN 29:10 And it came to pass, 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.
GEN 29:11 Jacob kissed Rachel, lifted up his voice, and wept.
GEN 29:12 And Jacob told Rachel, that he was her father's kindred, and that he was Rebekah’s son: and she ran and told her father.
GEN 29:13 Following, Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son. He ran to meet him, and embraced and kissed him, and brought him to his house. He told Laban all these things.
GEN 29:14 And Laban said to him, surely thou art my bone and my flesh. He abode with him the space of a month.
GEN 29:15 And Laban said unto Jacob, because thou art my kindred, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? Tell me, what shall thy wages be?
GEN 29:16 And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
At first, there were two brothers:(close kindreds), who were from Terah. Terah was the chief master of his family tree.
Now originally, (before the Everlasting Covenant was established with Abraham, and his chosen seed, Isaac, who came from Sarah), both, Abraham and Nahor, were brothers:(close kindreds), who helped to build the family tree of Terah.
Now, after the Everlasting Covenant was established with Abraham, and his chosen seed, Isaac, who came from Sarah, Abraham’s tree was no longer in unity with Nahor’s family tree. The Everlasting Covenant was not established with Nahor, and his family tree.
Therefore, there was established a separation between the two different family trees: Abraham was the chief master of his family tree. Nahor was the chief master of his family tree. These two brothers family trees: Abraham’s family tree and Nahor’s family tree were no longer close kindreds, associates.
Jacob was, in relation unto Laban, like the 12 sons of Israel, who were in relation unto each other, because the family tree of Laban was NOT of the house of Abraham and his seed, Isaac, who came from Sarah, who came under the Everlasting Covenant.
Therefore, Laban, who was of the family tree of Nahor, 'Could Not' buy Jacob, to be a Hebrew manservant, in his house, to serve for six years, and then set free in the seventh year.
Therefore, Jacob was like a hired servant, who was hired from year to year, unto Laban. Therefore, Jacob surrendered unto Laban, dwelling temporary with Laban, in order to buy Laban’s two daughters, during the 14 years of serving Laban as a hired servant.
At first, Jacob agreed to serve Laban seven years for Rachel, the second born daughter of Laban, but after the seven years were complete, Laban brings Leah, his firstborn daughter, unto Jacob, who then joined himself sexually unto Leah, to bring forth children.
Then Jacob agreed to serve Laban seven more years for Rachel, the second born daughter of Laban. Then, at that time, before Jacob had 'Yet' to fulfill the seven more years for Rachel, Laban gives Rachel, his second born daughter, unto Jacob, who then joined himself sexually unto Rachel, but Rachel was barren:(sterile), being unable to bring forth children, because YaHuWaH caused Rachel to become inactive in producing the fruit of her womb, because Jacob loved Rachel more than Leah.
Then, after those seven years, Jacob agreed to serve Laban as a hired servant from year to year, to be a shepherd over the flocks and goats of Laban. As time proceeded, Laban deceived Jacob, and changed his wages ten times.
GEN 29:17 Leah was tender eyed; But Rachel was beautiful and well favoured.
GEN 29:18 And Jacob loved Rachel; And said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
GEN 29:19 And Laban said, it is better that I give her to thee, than to give her to another man: abide with me.
GEN 29:20 And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; And they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.
GEN 29:21 And Jacob said unto Laban, give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
GEN 29:22 And Laban gathered, namely, all the men of the place, and made a feast
GEN 29:23 the following evening. He took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him. He went in unto her.
GEN 29:24 And Laban gave to his daughter Leah, Zilpah, his handmaid, as a maidservant.
GEN 29:25 It came to pass that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, why did you do this to me? Did not I serve with thee, for Rachel? Wherefore then, hast thou beguiled me?
GEN 29:26 And Laban said, it must NOT be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
GEN 29:27 Fulfil her week and we will give thee this also, for the service, which thou shalt serve with me, yet seven other years.
GEN 29:28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife.
At that time, Jacob agreed to serve Laban seven more years for Rachel, the second born daughter of Laban. Then, before Jacob had 'Yet' to fulfill the seven more years for Rachel, Laban gives Rachel, his second born daughter, unto Jacob, who then joined himself sexually unto Rachel, but Rachel was barren:(sterile), being unable to bring forth children, because YaHuWaH ALaHiYM caused Rachel to become inactive in producing the fruit of her womb, because Jacob loved Rachel more than Leah.
GEN 29:29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maidservant.
GEN 29:30 And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
GEN 29:31 When YaHuWaH saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.
GEN 29:32 And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, surely YaHuWaH hath looked upon my affliction; Now therefore my husband will love me.
GEN 29:33 And she conceived again, and bare a son; And said, because YaHuWaH hath heard that I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon.
GEN 29:34 And she conceived again, and bare a son; And said, now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.
GEN 29:35 She conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, now will I praise YaHuWaH: therefore she called his name Judah; And left bearing.
GEN 30:25 And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country.
GEN 30:26 Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served, to go away: for thou knowest my service, which I have done thee.
GEN 30:27 And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that YaHuWaH hath blessed me for thy sake.
GEN 30:28 And he said, appoint me thy wages, and I will give it.
GEN 30:29 He said unto him, thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle were with me.
GEN 30:30 For it was little, which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; And YaHuWaH hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?
GEN 30:31 He said, what do I give? And Jacob said, thou shalt not give me any thing: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep thy flock:
GEN 30:32 I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of such, shall be my hire.
GEN 30:33 So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, which shall be counted stolen with me.
GEN 30:34 Laban said, behold, I would it might be according to thy word.
GEN 30:35 And he removed, that day, the he goats, which were ringstraked and spotted, and all the she goats, which were speckled and spotted, and every one, which had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
GEN 30:36 He set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks.
GEN 30:37 And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chestnut tree, and peeled white strakes in them, and made the white appear, which was in the rods.
GEN 30:38 And he set the rods, which he had peeled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.
GEN 30:39 The flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
GEN 30:40 And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; And he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban’s cattle.
GEN 30:41 After that, when all the stronger cattle did conceive, then Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
GEN 30:42 But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob's.
GEN 30:43 And the man, Jacob, increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.
GEN 31:1 And he heard the words of Laban’s sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's; And of what was our father's hath he gotten all this glory.
GEN 31:2 And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.
GEN 31:3 And YaHuWaH said unto Jacob, return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; And I will be with thee.
GEN 31:4 And Jacob sent and called:(called for) Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock,
GEN 31:5 Saying, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as before; But the God:(ALaHiYM) of my father hath been with me.
GEN 31:6 You know truly, in all manner of strength I served your father.
GEN 31:7 Your father has deceived me, and changed my wages ten times, but God:(ALaHiYM) suffered him not to hurt me.
GEN 31:8 If he said thus, the speckled shall be thy wages; Then all the cattle bore speckled: and if he said thus, the ringstraked shall be thy hire; Then bare all the cattle ringstraked.
GEN 31:9 Thus God:(ALaHiYM) hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
GEN 31:10 It occurred, at the time, that the cattle conceived, when I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, behold the rams that leaped upon the cattle, were ringstraked, speckled, and grisled.
GEN 31:11 And the Angel of God:(ALaHiYM) spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: and I said, here am I.
GEN 31:12 And he said, lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams, which leap upon the cattle, are ringstraked, speckled, and grisled:(spotted): for I have seen all, which Laban doeth unto thee.
GEN 31:13 I:(We) am (are) the God:(AL, the Mighty) of Bethel, where thou anointed the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.
GEN 31:14 And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
GEN 31:15 Truly he regards us as strangers. Because he sold us, and devoured up even our money.
GEN 31:16 Nevertheless, all the riches that God:(ALaHiYM) hath taken from our father: that is our children's and ours. At this time, all that God:(ALaHiYM) has said unto you, do.
GEN 31:17 Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels;
GEN 31:18 And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods, which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in Padanaram, for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.
GEN 31:19 Laban went to shear his sheep and Rachel had stole images from her father.
GEN 31:20 And Jacob stole away, unawares to Laban the Syrian, when he told him not that he fled.
GEN 31:21 He made haste all that he had, rising to cross over the river, setting his face toward Mount Gilead.
GEN 31:22 Laban was told on the third day that Jacob was fled.
GEN 31:23 And he took his kindred with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey; And they overtook him in the Mount Gilead.
GEN 31:24 And God:(ALaHiYM) came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, take heed, that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
GEN 31:25 Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the Mount: and Laban with his kindred pitched in the Mount of Gilead.
GEN 31:26 And Laban said to Jacob, what hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives taken with the sword?
GEN 31:27 Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me; And didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp?
GEN 31:28 And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Thou hast now done foolishly in so doing.
GEN 31:29 It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God:(ALaHiYM) of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, take thou heed, that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
GEN 31:30 Now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father's house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my alhym?
GEN 31:31 Jacob answered and said to Laban, because I was afraid: for I said, peradventure thou will take by force thy daughters from me.
GEN 31:32 With whomsoever thou findest thy alhym; Let him not live, before our kindred. Discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them.
GEN 31:33 And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah’s tent, and into the two maidservants' tents; But he found them not. Then went he out of Leah’s tent, and entered Rachel’s tent.
GEN 31:34 Now Rachel had taken the images, put them in the camel's furniture, and sat upon them. Laban searched the entire tent, but found them not.
GEN 31:35 She said to her father, do not be displeased, my master, that I cannot rise before thee, for the custom of women is upon me. He searched, but found not the images.
GEN 31:36 And Jacob was wroth, and chided with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, what is my trespass? What is my sin that thou hast so hotly pursued after me?
GEN 31:37 Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? Set it here before my kindred and thy kindred, that they may judge betwixt us both.
GEN 31:38 These twenty years; I have been with thee. Thy ewes and she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock I have not eaten.
GEN 31:39 What was torn of beasts, I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day, or stolen by night.
GEN 31:40 Thus I was; In the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; And my sleep departed from mine eyes.
GEN 31:41 Thus, have I been twenty years in thy house. I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times.
What Jacob did with Laban, was to contract with Laban, to be a hired servant, who serves from year to year, working for Laban a total of 14 years for his two daughters. Then he contracted with Laban again, as a shepherd, who serves from year to year, over Laban’s flocks and goats. Jacob served Laban as a hired servant for six more years.
Jacob contracted with Laban, to let Jacob go through all of Laban’s flock, to remove from the flock all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep. Moreover, Jacob contracted with Laban, to remove from the goats all the spotted and speckled among the goats, to be Jacob's hire.
Laban said, unto Jacob, behold, it will be according to the words.
Therefore, Jacob served Laban, as a hired servant for a total of 20 years.
Then Jacob took all that rightfully belonged unto him, along with that which is to be supplied unto Jacob, when Jacob went out away from the house of Laban, to return unto the family from where he came from.
Laban was not a righteous master over his own house.
Therefore, Jacob left out away from Laban’s house, (unknown by Laban, at the time, when Jacob left out), taking with him, all, which lawfully belonged unto Jacob, from Laban’s house.
According to the Law, Laban had to let Jacob return, unto the family tree, from where he came from.
GEN 31:42 Except the God:(ALaHiYM) of my father, the God:(ALaHiYM) of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God:(ALaHiYM) hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight.
GEN 31:43 And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, these daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all, which thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children, whom they have born?
GEN 31:44 Now therefore come thou, let us make a Covenant, I and thou; And let it be for a witness between me and thee.
GEN 31:45 And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.
GEN 31:46 And Jacob said unto his kindred, gather stones; And they took stones, and made a heap: and they did eat there upon the heap.
GEN 31:47 And Laban called:(pronounced) it Jegarsahadutha: but Jacob called:(pronounced) it Galeed.
GEN 31:48 Laban said, this heap is a witness between thee and me this day. Therefore the name of it was called:(pronounced) Galeed;
GEN 31:49 And Mizpah, because he said, YaHuWaH watch between thee, and me when we are absent one from another.
GEN 31:50 If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us; See, God:(ALaHiYM) is witness betwixt thee and me.
GEN 31:51 And Laban said to Jacob, behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee;
GEN 31:52 This heap is a witness and this pillar is a witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm.
GEN 31:53 The God:(ALaHiYM) of Abraham, and the God:(ALaHiYM) of Nahor, the God:(ALaHiYM) of their father, judge betwixt us. Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac.
GEN 31:54 Jacob offered sacrifice upon the Mount, and called his kindred to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the Mount.
GEN 31:55 Early in the morning Laban rose and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them. Laban departed and returned unto his place.
GEN 32:1 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels:(Prophets, teachers, deputys) of God:(ALaHiYM) met him.
GEN 32:2 When Jacob saw them, he said, this is God's:(ALaHiYM) host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
GEN 32:3 And Jacob sent deputys before him to Esau his kindred unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
GEN 32:4 And he commanded them, saying, thus shall ye speak unto master Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there until now.
GEN 32:5 I have oxen, asses, flocks, menservants, and women servants. I have sent to tell the master, that I may find grace in thy sight.
GEN 32:6 The deputys returned to Jacob, saying, we came to thy kindred Esau. Yes, he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
GEN 32:7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people, who were with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands,
GEN 32:8 Saying, if Esau come to the one company and smite it, then the other company, who is left, shall escape.
GEN 32:9 And Jacob said, O God:(ALaHiYM) of my father Abraham, and God:(ALaHiYM) of my father Isaac, YaHuWaH that saidst unto me, return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:
GEN 32:10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; For with my staff I passed over this Jordan; And now I am become two bands.
GEN 32:11 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my kindred, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite the mother and me with the children.
GEN 32:12 And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed:(chosen descendants) as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
GEN 32:13 And he lodged there that same night; And took of what came to his hand a present for Esau his kindred;
GEN 32:14 Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
GEN 32:15 Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.
GEN 32:16 He delivered them into the hand of his servants: every drove by themselves, saying unto his servants, pass over before me. Put a space between drove and drove.
GEN 32:17 He commanded the foremost, saying, when Esau my kindred meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, whose art thou? Whither goest thou? Whose are these before thee?
GEN 32:18 Then thou shalt say, they are thy servant Jacob's; It is a present sent unto master Esau: behold, also he is behind us.
GEN 32:19 And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all, who followed the droves, saying, on this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him.
GEN 32:20 Say ye moreover, behold thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me.
GEN 32:21 So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night, in the company.
GEN 32:22 He rose that night, taking his two wives and his two women servants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.
GEN 32:23 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over, what he had.
GEN 32:24 And Jacob was left alone; And there wrestled:(contend) a man:(another, one) with him until the breaking of the day.
GEN 32:25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; And the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
YaHuWaH ALaHiYM contended with Jacob. Jacob had to be humbled in the presence of YaHuWaH ALaHiYM. Jacob's pride was crushed. Therefore, Jacob repented and overcame sin, through the teaching of the Law, thereby obtaining righteous honour, authority, and character of YaHuWaH.
GEN 32:26 He said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. He said, "I will not let you go, yet, unless you bless me."
GEN 32:27 He said unto him, "What is your name?" He said, Jacob.
GEN 32:28 And he said, Thy name shall be called:(addressed by), no more, Jacob, but Israel, for as a prince hast thou power:(prevailed) with God:(ALaHiYM) and with:(like) men:(a champion), and hast prevailed:(have power, overcome).
GEN 32:29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, 'I pray thee, thy name':(teach me Your Holy Law, thereby placing, upon me, righteous honour, authority, and character).
Up above, the phrase, 'I pray thee, thy name', means teach me the Law, thereby placing, upon me, righteous honour, authority, and character.
The words 'pray thee' mean beseech:(ask for or request earnestly).
He:(YaHuWaH ALaHiYM) said, "Wherefore:(what is the purpose) is it:(that) that thou dost ask:(you desire earnestly) after my name:(honour, authority, and character)?"
YaHuWaH ALaHiYM says, what is the purpose that you desire earnestly for righteous honour, authority, and character?
YaHuWaH ALaHiYM taught Jacob the Law, thereby placing upon Jacob righteous honour, authority, and character.
'He blessed him:(Jacob) there'. In other words, in this manner, YaHuWaH ALaHiYM blessed Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel.
This is how Jacob received the name Israel, who will rule, existing like-minded as the Almighty.
GEN 32:30 And Jacob called:(addressed by) the name, of the place, Peniel: for I have seen God:(ALaHiYM) face to face, and my 'life is preserved':(if a man will observe to do the Law, he will live).
The phrase 'life is preserved' means Jacob:(whose name was changed to Israel) observes to do the Law. Therefore, he will live.
GEN 32:31 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
GEN 32:32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the 'sinew':(the human natured ways of Jacob were attacked, and Jacob overcame sin, because he was taught the Law by YaHuWaH ALaHiYM, who are over those, who gathered together to learn the Law) that 'shrank':(Jacob repented from his sins, and became a righteous master), which is upon the 'hollow':(Jacob humbled himself under the teachers of righteousness) of the 'thigh':(having a heart of flesh, instead of a heart of stone), unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew, which shrank.
Jacob, who was renamed Israel, no longer had a heart of stone. His heart of stone became a heart of flesh.
GEN 33:18 And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of 'Shechem', which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; And pitched his tent before the city.
Schechem:
H7927 shekem shek-em'
The same as H7926; ridge; Shekem, a place in Palestine: - Shechem.
H7926 shekem shek-em'
From H7925; The neck (between the shoulders) as the place of burdens; Figuratively the spur of a hill: - back, x consent, portion, shoulder.
H7925 shakam shaw-kam'
A primitive root; properly to incline (the shoulder to a burden); But used only as denominative from H7926; Literally to load up (on the back of man or beast), that is, to start early in the morning: - (arise, be up, get [oneself] up, rise up) early (betimes), morning.
GEN 33:19 He bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for an hundred pieces of money.
GEN 33:20 He erected there an altar, and called:(named) it Elelohe-Israel.
GEN 48:21 And Israel said unto Joseph, behold, I die: but God:(ALaHiYM) shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.
GEN 48:22 Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.
JOS 24:32 And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in a parcel of ground that Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for an hundred pieces of silver: and it became the inheritance of the children of Joseph.
* GEN 35:1 And God:(ALaHiYM) said unto Jacob, arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God:(AL, mighty, Almighty), who appeared unto thee, when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.
Notice up above, 'AL', who appeared unto thee, when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.
Now I ask, did Sovereign YaHuWaH Almighty appear unto Jacob?
The answer is an absolute, no. Sometimes, the Hebrew word 'AL' is not referring unto YaHuWaH Almighty. Truly, it is referring unto YaHuWaH ALaHiYM. That is the case up above.
GEN 35:2 Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all, who were with him, put away the strange alhym, who are among you, and be clean, and change your garments:
The strange alhym, which were in their possession, were material pieces that represented foreign alhym, who do not represent righteousness.
* GEN 35:3 And let us arise, and go up to Bethel:(House of Almighty); And I will 'make there an altar unto God:(AL, mighty)', who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way, which I went.
Make there an altar unto 'AL'. In other words, make an altar unto YaHuWaH ALaHiYM.
ALaHiYM are representatives of AL. All of them are YaHuWaH:(The Self Existent and Continual Family). YaHuWaH are The Self Existent and Continual righteous Family. AL is the Supreme Master over all ALaHiYM. Therefore, when Jacob made an altar unto ALaHiYM, he also made it unto AL.
YaHuWaH Almighty did not appear unto anyone, alone.
Why is this true?
There is a pattern written in the Law, which is performed by YaHuWaH Almighty. He walks according to that written pattern of the Law.
What is the written pattern?
In the mouth of two are more witnesses is the Law established in the heart of the learners. YaHuWaH Almighty sent the Two Cherubs, to establish righteousness in the heart of the learners. This is the process whereby a family is either established or increased by number.
This same pattern is performed through marriage. It will always take two people, both male and female, to create a family. A single being can NOT create or cause a family to come into existence. This is why, there is no such being, as a Yahweh, who alone created heaven and earth. There exists YaHuWaH ALaHiYM, who created heaven, the earth, and all living beings, both physical and spiritual.
Yisrayl Bill Hawkins rules the House of Yahweh in Abilene/Clyde Texas, as an al:(god). This man is confused in the mind, teaching that a Yahweh alone created heaven and the earth. A spirit being, named Yahweh, does not exist alone, anywhere. Yisrayl Bill Hawkins, himself, is his Yahweh, who rules unrighteously over the congregation of the House of Yahweh.
GEN 35:4 And they gave unto Jacob, all the strange alhym, which were in their hand, and all their earrings, which were in their ears; And Jacob hid them under the oak, which was by Shechem.
GEN 35:5 They started on a journey, and the terror of God:(ALaHiYM) was upon the cities, which were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.
GEN 35:6 So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Bethel:(House of Almighty), he and all the people, who were with him.
GEN 35:7 He built an altar there, and called:(named) the place Elbethel:(Mighty House of God), because God:(ALaHiYM) appeared unto him there, when he fled from the face of his brother.
GEN 35:8 But Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died, and she was buried beneath Bethel under an oak. The name of it was called Allonbachuth.
GEN 35:9 And God:(ALaHiYM) appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him.
GEN 35:10 God:(ALaHiYM) said unto him, thy name is Jacob. Thy name is not to be called any more, Jacob, but Israel is to be thy name. He called his name, Israel.
* GEN 35:11 And God:(ALaHiYM) said unto him, I:(We) am (are) God:(AL: Strong, Mighty, Almighty) (and) Almighty:(SHDY: Powerful), be fruitful and multiply; A nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;
Again:
GEN 35:11 And ALaHiYM said unto him, We are mighty and powerful.
GEN 35:12 The land that I gave Abraham and Isaac; To thee, I will give it, and to thy seed:(chosen descendants) after thee, will I give the land.
GEN 35:13 And God:(ALaHiYM) went up from him, in the place where he talked with him.
GEN 35:14 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, even a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon.
GEN 35:15 And Jacob called the name of the place, where God:(ALaHiYM) spoke with him, Bethel:(House of God).
GEN 35:16 And they journeyed from Bethel; And there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour.
GEN 35:17 And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, fear not; Thou shalt have this son also.
GEN 35:18 It occurred, as her breathing was failing, (for she died), she called his name Benoni: but his father called:(named) him Benjamin.
GEN 35:19 Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.
GEN 35:20 And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel’s grave unto this day.
GEN 35:21 And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar:(Migdal Eder).
Migdal Eder, the place where Miryam Magdalene of Magdala was born.
H4029 migdal-eder mig-dal'-ay'-der
From H4026 and H5739; Tower of a flock; Migdal-Eder, a place in Palestine: - Migdal-Eder, tower of the flock.
GEN 37:14 He said to him, go now, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; And bring me word again. He sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
JOS 20:7 And they appointed Kedesh in Galilee in Mount Naphtali, and Shechem in Mount Ephraim, and Kirjatharba, which is Hebron, in the mountain of Judah.
GEN 37:23 And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they unclothed Joseph, namely his coat: his coat of many colours that was on him;
GEN 37:24 They took and cast him into a pit:(well). The pit was empty, for there was no water in it.
GEN 48:3 And Jacob said unto Joseph, God:(AL: mighty) (and) Almighty:(SHDY: powerful) appeared unto me at Luz:(the place of Bethel) in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
GEN 48:4 And said unto me, behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; And will give this land to thy seed:(chosen descendants) after thee for an Everlasting possession.
GEN 49:22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well: whose branches run over the wall:
GEN 49:23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:
GEN 49:24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the Mighty 'God' of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel;
Up above, the word 'God' was added by the translators.
YaHuWaH Almighty did not communicate unto Israel, alone.
GEN 49:25 Even by the God:(AL: mighty) of thy father, who shall help thee; And by the Almighty:(SHDY: powerful), who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep, which lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:
GEN 49:26 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors, unto the utmost bound of the Everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him, who was separate from his brethren.
