“Jacob answered his mother Rebekah, “Look, my brother Esau is a hairy man, but I am smooth-skinned.”

“And Isaac brought her into the tent of his mother Sarah and took Rebekah as his wife. And Isaac loved her and was comforted after his mother’s death.”

“His mother replied, “Your curse be on me, my son. Just obey my voice and go get them for me.””

“Besides, she really is my sister, the daughter of my father—though not the daughter of my mother—and she became my wife.”

“But her brother and mother said, “Let the girl remain with us ten days or so. After that, she may go.””

“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.”

“The girl ran and told her mother’s household about these things.”

“And Adam named his wife Eve, because she would be the mother of all the living.”
