27:18 Then he [Jacob] came to his father and he said, "My father." And he [Isaac] said, "Here I am. Who are you, my son?"
27:19 And Jacob said to his father, "I am Esau your firstborn; I have done just as you spoke to me. Rise up, please, sit, and eat of my game, in order that your soul may bless me."
27:23 But he [blind Isaac] did not recognize him [Jacob], for his hands were like the hands of his brother Esau-hairy; and he [Isaac] blessed him.
27:35 And he [Isaac] said, "Your brother came with deceit and he has taken your blessing."
27:41 So Esau bore a grudge against Jacob ..., "The days of mourning for my father are near; then I will kill my brother."
27:43 [Rebekah:] "So now, my son, obey my voice, and rise-you flee to my brother Laban in Haran.
27:44 And stay with him a few days, until [the time] that your brother's rage turns away,
27:45 .... Then I will send and take you [back] from there."

29:10 When Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, Jacob approached and he rolled the stone from upon the mouth of the well, and he watered the sheep of Laban his mother's brother.
29:12 And Jacob told Rachel that he was a relative of her father ....
29:15 Laban said to Jacob, ... "You are my relative."
29:23 And it happened in the evening he [Laban] took Leah his daughter, and he brought her to him [Jacob] ....
29:25 And it happened in the morning that, behold, it was Leah!
And he [Jacob] said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? Was it not for Rachel that I served with you? Why then have you deceived me?"
32:24 Then Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until the break of dawn.
32:25 And when He [God] saw that He had not prevailed against him, He touched the socket of his thigh; so the socket of Jacob's thigh was dislocated while he wrestled with Him.
32:26 ...he[Jacob]said,"I will not let you go unless you bless me."

32:28 And He [God] said, "No longer shall your name be said to be Jacob, but Israel; for you have striven with God and with men and have prevailed."
32:29 Then Jacob asked him and said, "Please tell [me] your name." But He said, "Why is it that you ask My name?"
And He [God] blessed him [Jacob] there.
32:30 ... [Jacob:] "I have seen God face to face ...."
32:31 Now the sun rose upon him just as he crossed over Penuel, and he was limping upon his thigh.
32:32 Therefore, to this day the sons of Israel do not eat the sinew of the hip which is upon the socket of the thigh, because He [God] touched the socket of Jacob's thigh in the sinew of the hip.
