After this, Abraham ordered one of his servants to find a wife for his son Isaac; and adjured his servant to marry Isaac only to a wife of his own kindred.
2And Abraham entered into rest when he was 175 years old; and Isaac and Ishmael his sons buried him.
3Then Isaac married when he was 40 years old; and Esau and Jacob his sons were born unto him when he was about 60 years of age.
4And God blessed Isaac greatly.
5Then after this Jacob went to the land of Haran, to Laban, his mother's brother, and married his two daughters Leah and Rachel.
6He had by Leah, Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun; and by Rachel he had Joseph and Benjamin.
7Then he had also by Zilpah, Leah's maid-servant, Gad and Aser; and by Bilhah, Rachel's maid-servant, he had Dan and Naphtali.
8And about 20 years after Jacob's return from the land of Haran, before his father Isaac died, Joseph was sold by his brothers, because they were jealous of him.
9Yet when Isaac died, his two sons Esau and Jacob went to him, embalmed his dead body, and laid him in the sepulchre of his father.
10Then six years after the death of Isaac, Rebecca died; and they buried her by Sarah, Abraham's wife.
11And when, after that Leah, Jacob's wife died, they buried her by the side of them.
12Then after this Judah took to himself a wife whose name was Habwadiya, that means “house-wife”; but in the law her name is Sewa.
13She was of a Canaanitish family, and Jacob's heart suffered much on that account; and he said to Judah his son who had married that wife, "The God of Abraham and of Isaac will not allow the seed of this Canaanitish woman to mingle with my seed."
14Yet some days after this, Sewa bare three sons unto Judah, whose names were Er, Onan, and Selah.
15And when Er was grown up, Judah married him, his first-born son, unto a woman named Tamar, daughter of Kadesh Levi.
16And Er continued with her a long time, and behaved after the manner of the men of Sodom and Gomorrah. But God looked down upon his evil deeds and killed him.
17Then Judah married his son Onan to Tamar, saying, "He shall raise seed unto his brother."
18Yet him also did God kill because of his evil deeds; on account of Jacob's curse, "That no Canaanitish seed should mingle with his own."
19So God would not let any of it mingle with that of Jacob the righteous.
20Therefore did Tamar go to Judah her father-in-law, who had intercourse with her, not knowing she was his son's wife; and she bare unto him twins, Pharez and Zarah.
