Then Isaac his father made answer and said to him, Far from the fertile places of the earth, and far from the dew of heaven on high will your living-place be:

יִהְיֶ֣ה yih.Yeh “it will be”

By your sword will you get your living and you will be your brother's servant; but when your power is increased his yoke will be broken from off your neck.

And may God, the Ruler of all, give you his blessing, giving you fruit and increase, so that you may become an army of peoples.

וְהָיִ֖יתָ (הָיִ֖יתָ) ha.Yi.ta “you will become”

Your seed will be like the dust of the earth, covering all the land to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south: you and your seed will be a name of blessing to all the families of the earth.

Then Jacob took an oath, and said, If God will be with me, and keep me safe on my journey, and give me food and clothing to put on,

יִהְיֶ֨ה yih.Yeh “he will be”

Then when Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, coming with Laban's sheep, he came near, and rolling the stone away from the mouth of the hole, he got water for Laban's flock.

וַיְהִ֡י (יְהִ֡י) y.Hi “it was”

And Laban, hearing news of Jacob, his sister's son, came running, and took Jacob in his arms, and kissing him, made him come into his house. And Jacob gave him news of everything.

וַיְהִי֩ (יְהִי֩) y.Hi “it was”

And Leah's eyes were clouded, but Rachel was fair in face and form.

הָֽיְתָ֔ה ha.ye.Tah “she was”

And Jacob did seven years' work for Rachel; and because of his love for her it seemed to him only a very little time.

וַיִּהְי֤וּ (יִּהְי֤וּ) i.yih.Yu “they were”

And in the evening he took Leah, his daughter, and gave her to him, and he went in to her.

וַיְהִ֣י (יְהִ֣י) y.Hi “it was”

And in the morning Jacob saw that it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What have you done to me? was I not working for you so that I might have Rachel? why have you been false to me?

וַיְהִ֣י (יְהִ֣י) y.Hi “it was”

Now after the birth of Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, Let me go away to my place and my country.

וַיְהִ֕י (יְהִ֕י) y.Hi “it was”

Then Jacob said, You have seen what I have done for you, and how your cattle have done well under my care.

הָיָ֥ה ha.Yah “it has been”

For before I came you had little, and it has been greatly increased; and the Lord has given you a blessing in everything I have done; but when am I to do something for my family?

הָיָ֨ה ha.Yah “it be[longed]”

Let me go through all your flock today, taking out from among them all the sheep which are marked or coloured or black, and all the marked or coloured goats: these will be my payment.

וְהָיָ֖ה (הָיָ֖ה) ha.Yah “it will be”

And Laban said, Let it be as you say.

יְהִ֥י ye.Hi “let it be”

And whenever the stronger ones of the flock became with young, Jacob put the sticks in front of them in the drinking-places, so that they might become with young when they saw the sticks.

וְהָיָ֗ה (הָיָ֗ה) ha.Yah “it was”

But when the flocks were feeble, he did not put the sticks before them; so that the feebler flocks were Laban's and the stronger were Jacob's.

וְהָיָ֤ה (הָיָ֤ה) ha.Yah “it was”

So Jacob's wealth was greatly increased; he had great flocks and women-servants and men-servants and camels and asses.
