1 In the beginning7225 God430 created1254 the heaven8064 and the earth.776

2 And the earth776 was without8414 form,8414 and void;922 and darkness2822 was on the face6440 of the deep.8415 And the Spirit7307 of God430 moved7363 on the face6440 of the waters.4325

3 And God430 said,559 Let there be light:216 and there was light.216

4 And God430 saw7200 the light,216 that it was good:2896 and God430 divided914 the light216 from the darkness.2822

5 And God430 called7121 the light216 Day,3117 and the darkness2822 he called7121 Night.3915 And the evening6153 and the morning1242 were the first259 day.3117

6 And God430 said,559 Let there be a firmament7549 in the middle8432 of the waters,4325 and let it divide914 the waters4325 from the waters.4325

7 And God430 made6213 the firmament,7549 and divided914 the waters4325 which834 were under8478 the firmament7549 from the waters4325 which834 were above5921 the firmament:7549 and it was so.3651

8 And God430 called7121 the firmament7549 Heaven.8064 And the evening6153 and the morning1242 were the second8145 day.3117

9 And God430 said,559 Let the waters4325 under8478 the heaven8064 be gathered6960 together to one259 place,4725 and let the dry3004 land appear:7200 and it was so.3651

10 And God430 called7121 the dry3004 land Earth;776 and the gathering4723 together of the waters4325 called7121 he Seas:3220 and God430 saw7200 that it was good.2896

11 And God430 said,559 Let the earth776 bring1876 forth1876 grass,1877 the herb6212 yielding2232 seed,2233 and the fruit6529 tree6086 yielding6213 fruit6529 after his kind,4327 whose834 seed2233 is in itself, on the earth:776 and it was so.3651

12 And the earth776 brought3318 forth3318 grass,1877 and herb6212 yielding2232 seed2233 after his kind,4327 and the tree6086 yielding6213 fruit,6529 whose834 seed2233 was in itself, after his kind:4327 and God430 saw7200 that it was good.2896

13 And the evening6153 and the morning1242 were the third7992 day.3117

14 And God430 said,559 Let there be lights3974 in the firmament7549 of the heaven8064 to divide914 the day3117 from the night;3915 and let them be for signs,226 and for seasons,4150 and for days,3117 and years:8141

15 And let them be for lights3974 in the firmament7549 of the heaven8064 to give light216 on the earth:776 and it was so.3651

16 And God430 made6213 two8147 great1419 lights;3974 the greater1419 light3974 to rule4475 the day,3117 and the lesser6996 light3974 to rule4475 the night:3915 he made the stars3556 also.

17 And God430 set5414 them in the firmament7549 of the heaven8064 to give light216 on the earth,776

18 And to rule4910 over the day3117 and over the night,3915 and to divide914 the light216 from the darkness:2822 and God430 saw7200 that it was good.2896

19 And the evening6153 and the morning1242 were the fourth7243 day.3117

20 And God430 said,559 Let the waters4325 bring8317 forth8317 abundantly8317 the moving8318 creature8318 that has life,2416 and fowl5775 that may fly5774 above5921 the earth776 in the open6440 firmament7549 of heaven.8064

21 And God430 created1254 great1419 whales,8577 and every3605 living2416 creature5315 that moves,7430 which834 the waters4325 brought8317 forth8317 abundantly,8317 after their kind,4327 and every3605 winged3671 fowl5775 after his kind:4327 and God430 saw7200 that it was good.2896

22 And God430 blessed1288 them, saying,559 Be fruitful,6509 and multiply,7235 and fill4390 the waters4325 in the seas,3220 and let fowl5775 multiply7235 in the earth.776

23 And the evening6153 and the morning1242 were the fifth2549 day.3117

24 And God430 said,559 Let the earth776 bring3318 forth3318 the living2416 creature5315 after his kind,4327 cattle,929 and creeping7431 thing, and beast2416 of the earth776 after his kind:4327 and it was so.3651

25 And God430 made6213 the beast2416 of the earth776 after his kind,4327 and cattle929 after their kind,4327 and every3605 thing that creeps7431 on the earth127 after his kind:4327 and God430 saw7200 that it was good.2896

26 And God430 said,559 Let us make6213 man120 in our image,6754 after our likeness:1823 and let them have dominion7287 over the fish1710 of the sea,3220 and over the fowl5775 of the air,8064 and over the cattle,929 and over all3605 the earth,776 and over every3605 creeping7431 thing that creeps7430 on the earth.776

27 So God430 created1254 man120 in his own image,6754 in the image6754 of God430 created1254 he him; male2145 and female5347 created1254 he them.

28 And God430 blessed1288 them, and God430 said559 to them, Be fruitful,6509 and multiply,7235 and replenish4390 the earth,776 and subdue3533 it: and have dominion7287 over the fish1710 of the sea,3220 and over the fowl5775 of the air,8064 and over every3605 living2416 thing that moves7430 on the earth.776

29 And God430 said,559 Behold,2009 I have given5414 you every3605 herb6212 bearing2232 seed,2233 which834 is on the face6440 of all3605 the earth,776 and every3605 tree,6086 in the which834 is the fruit6529 of a tree6086 yielding2232 seed;2233 to you it shall be for meat.402

30 And to every3605 beast2416 of the earth,776 and to every3605 fowl5775 of the air,8064 and to every3605 thing that creeps7430 on the earth,776 wherein834 there is life,2416 I have given every3605 green3418 herb6212 for meat:402 and it was so.3651

31 And God430 saw7200 every3605 thing that he had made,6213 and, behold,2009 it was very3966 good.2896 And the evening6153 and the morning1242 were the sixth8345 day.3117

2

1 Thus the heavens8064 and the earth776 were finished,3615 and all3605 the host6635 of them.

2 And on the seventh7637 day3117 God430 ended3615 his work4399 which834 he had made;6213 and he rested7673 on the seventh7637 day3117 from all3605 his work4399 which834 he had made.6213

3 And God430 blessed1288 the seventh7637 day,3117 and sanctified6942 it: because3588 that in it he had rested7673 from all3605 his work4399 which834 God430 created1254 and made.6213

4 These428 are the generations8435 of the heavens8064 and of the earth776 when they were created,1254 in the day3117 that the LORD3068 God430 made6213 the earth776 and the heavens,8064

5 And every3605 plant7880 of the field7704 before2962 it was in the earth,776 and every3605 herb6212 of the field7704 before2962 it grew:6779 for the LORD3068 God430 had not caused it to rain4305 on the earth,776 and there was not a man120 to till5647 the ground.127

6 But there went5927 up a mist108 from the earth,776 and watered8248 the whole854 3605 face6440 of the ground.127

7 And the LORD3068 God430 formed3335 man120 of the dust6083 of the ground,127 and breathed5301 into his nostrils639 the breath5397 of life;2416 and man120 became1961 a living2416 soul.5315

8 And the LORD3068 God430 planted5193 a garden1588 eastward6924 in Eden;5731 and there8033 he put7760 the man120 whom834 he had formed.3335

9 And out of the ground127 made the LORD3068 God430 to grow6779 every3605 tree6086 that is pleasant2530 to the sight,4758 and good2896 for food;3978 the tree6086 of life2416 also in the middle8432 of the garden,1588 and the tree6086 of knowledge1847 of good2896 and evil.7451

10 And a river5104 went3318 out of Eden5731 to water8248 the garden;1588 and from there8033 it was parted,6504 and became1961 into four702 heads.7218

11 The name8034 of the first259 is Pison:6376 that is it which compasses5437 the whole854 3605 land776 of Havilah,2341 where834 8033 there is gold;2091

12 And the gold2091 of that land776 is good:2896 there8033 is bdellium916 and the onyx7718 stone.68

13 And the name8034 of the second8145 river5104 is Gihon:1521 the same1931 is it that compasses5437 the whole854 3605 land776 of Ethiopia.3568

14 And the name8034 of the third7992 river5104 is Hiddekel:2313 that is it which goes1980 toward the east6926 of Assyria.804 And the fourth7243 river5104 is Euphrates.6578

15 And the LORD3068 God430 took3947 the man,120 and put3240 him into the garden1588 of Eden5731 to dress5647 it and to keep8104 it.

16 And the LORD3068 God430 commanded6680 the man,120 saying,559 Of every3605 tree6086 of the garden1588 you may freely eat:398

17 But of the tree6086 of the knowledge1847 of good2896 and evil,7451 you shall not eat398 of it: for in the day3117 that you eat398 thereof you shall surely die.4191

18 And the LORD3068 God430 said,559 It is not good2896 that the man120 should be alone;905 I will make6213 him an help5828 meet5048 for him.

19 And out of the ground127 the LORD3068 God430 formed3335 every beast2416 of the field,7704 and every3605 fowl5775 of the air;8064 and brought935 them to Adam120 to see7200 what4100 he would call7121 them: and whatever3605 834 Adam120 called7121 every3605 living2416 creature,5315 that was the name8034 thereof.

20 And Adam120 gave7121 names8034 to all3605 cattle,929 and to the fowl5775 of the air,8064 and to every3605 beast2416 of the field;7704 but for Adam120 there was not found4672 an help5828 meet5828 for him.

21 And the LORD3068 God430 caused a deep8639 sleep3462 to fall5307 on Adam,121 and he slept:3462 and he took3947 one259 of his ribs,6763 and closed5462 up the flesh1320 instead8478 thereof;

22 And the rib,6763 which834 the LORD3068 God430 had taken3947 from man,120 made1129 he a woman,802 and brought935 her to the man.120

23 And Adam120 said,559 This2063 is now6471 bone6106 of my bones,6106 and flesh1320 of my flesh:1320 she shall be called7121 Woman,802 because3588 she was taken3947 out of Man.376

24 Therefore5921 3651 shall a man376 leave5800 his father1 and his mother,517 and shall join1692 to his wife:802 and they shall be one259 flesh.1320

25 And they were both8147 naked,6174 the man120 and his wife,802 and were not ashamed.954

3

1 Now the serpent5175 was more subtle6175 than any3605 beast2416 of the field7704 which834 the LORD3068 God430 had made.6213 And he said559 to the woman,802 Yes,637 3588 has God430 said,559 You shall not eat398 of every3605 tree6086 of the garden?1588

2 And the woman802 said559 to the serpent,5175 We may eat398 of the fruit6529 of the trees6086 of the garden:1588

3 But of the fruit6529 of the tree6086 which834 is in the middle8432 of the garden,1588 God430 has said,559 You shall not eat398 of it, neither3808 shall you touch5060 it, lest6435 you die.4191

4 And the serpent5175 said559 to the woman,802 You shall not surely die:4191

5 For God430 does know3045 that in the day3117 you eat398 thereof, then your eyes5869 shall be opened,6491 and you shall be as gods,430 knowing3045 good2896 and evil.7451

6 And when the woman802 saw7200 that the tree6086 was good2896 for food,3978 and that it was pleasant8378 to the eyes,5869 and a tree6086 to be desired2530 to make one wise,7919 she took3947 of the fruit6529 thereof, and did eat,398 and gave5414 also1571 to her husband376 with her; and he did eat.398

7 And the eyes5869 of them both8147 were opened,6491 and they knew3045 that they were naked;5903 and they sewed8609 fig8384 leaves5929 together, and made6213 themselves1992 aprons.2290

8 And they heard8085 the voice6963 of the LORD3068 God430 walking1980 in the garden1588 in the cool7307 of the day:3117 and Adam120 and his wife802 hid2244 themselves from the presence6440 of the LORD3068 God430 among8432 the trees6086 of the garden.1588

9 And the LORD3068 God430 called7121 to Adam,120 and said559 to him, Where335 are you?

10 And he said,559 I heard8085 your voice6963 in the garden,1588 and I was afraid,3372 because3588 I was naked;5903 and I hid2244 myself.

11 And he said,559 Who4310 told5046 you that you were naked?5903 Have you eaten398 of the tree,6086 whereof834 I commanded6680 you that you should not eat?398

12 And the man120 said,559 The woman802 whom834 you gave5414 to be with me, she gave5414 me of the tree,6086 and I did eat.398

13 And the LORD3068 God430 said559 to the woman,802 What4100 is this2063 that you have done?6213 And the woman802 said,559 The serpent5175 beguiled5377 me, and I did eat.398

14 And the LORD3068 God430 said559 to the serpent,5175 Because3588 you have done6213 this,2063 you are cursed779 above all3605 cattle,929 and above every3605 beast2416 of the field;7704 on your belly1512 shall you go,3212 and dust6083 shall you eat398 all3605 the days3117 of your life:2416

15 And I will put7896 enmity342 between996 you and the woman,802 and between996 your seed2233 and her seed;2233 it shall bruise7779 your head,7218 and you shall bruise7779 his heel.6119

16 To the woman802 he said,559 I will greatly multiply7235 your sorrow6093 and your conception;2032 in sorrow6089 you shall bring3205 forth3205 children;1121 and your desire8669 shall be to your husband,376 and he shall rule4910 over you.

17 And to Adam121 he said,559 Because3588 you have listened8085 to the voice6963 of your wife,802 and have eaten398 of the tree,6086 of which834 I commanded6680 you, saying,559 You shall not eat398 of it: cursed779 is the ground127 for your sake;5668 in sorrow6093 shall you eat398 of it all3605 the days3117 of your life;2416

18 Thorns6975 also and thistles1863 shall it bring6779 forth6779 to you; and you shall eat398 the herb6212 of the field;7704

19 In the sweat2188 of your face639 shall you eat398 bread,3899 till5704 you return7725 to the ground;127 for out of it were you taken:3947 for dust6083 you are, and to dust6083 shall you return.7725

20 And Adam120 called7121 his wife's802 name8034 Eve;2332 because3588 she was the mother517 of all3605 living.2416

21 To Adam120 also and to his wife802 did the LORD3068 God430 make6213 coats3801 of skins,5785 and clothed3847 them.

22 And the LORD3068 God430 said,559 Behold,2005 the man120 is become1961 as one259 of us, to know3045 good2896 and evil:7451 and now,6258 lest6435 he put7971 forth7971 his hand,3027 and take3947 also1571 of the tree6086 of life,2416 and eat,398 and live2425 for ever:5769

23 Therefore the LORD3068 God430 sent7971 him forth from the garden1588 of Eden,5731 to till5647 the ground127 from from where834 8033 he was taken.3947

24 So he drove1644 out the man;120 and he placed7931 at the east6924 of the garden1588 of Eden5731 Cherubim,3742 and a flaming3858 sword2719 which turned2015 every way, to keep8104 the way of the tree6086 of life.2416

4

1 And Adam120 knew3045 Eve2332 his wife;802 and she conceived,2029 and bore3205 Cain,7014 and said,559 I have gotten7069 a man376 from the LORD.3068

2 And she again3254 bore3205 his brother251 Abel.1893 And Abel1893 was a keeper7462 of sheep,6629 but Cain7014 was a tiller5647 of the ground.127

3 And in process7093 of time3117 it came1961 to pass, that Cain7014 brought935 of the fruit6529 of the ground127 an offering4503 to the LORD.3068

4 And Abel,1893 he also1571 brought935 of the firstborn1062 of his flock6629 and of the fat2459 thereof. And the LORD3068 had respect8159 to Abel1893 and to his offering:4503

5 But to Cain7014 and to his offering4503 he had not respect.8159 And Cain7014 was very3966 wroth,2734 and his countenance6440 fell.5307

6 And the LORD3068 said559 to Cain,7014 Why4100 are you wroth?2734 and why4100 is your countenance6440 fallen?5307

7 If518 you do well,3190 shall you not be accepted?7613 and if518 you do not well,3190 sin2403 lies7257 at the door.6607 And to you shall be his desire,8669 and you shall rule4910 over him.

8 And Cain7014 talked559 with Abel1893 his brother:251 and it came1961 to pass, when they were in the field,7704 that Cain7014 rose6965 up against413 Abel1893 his brother,251 and slew2026 him.

9 And the LORD3068 said559 to Cain,7014 Where335 is Abel1893 your brother?251 And he said,559 I know3045 not: Am I my brother's251 keeper?8104

10 And he said,559 What4100 have you done?6213 the voice6963 of your brother's251 blood1818 cries6817 to me from the ground.127

11 And now6258 are you cursed779 from the earth,127 which834 has opened6475 her mouth6310 to receive3947 your brother's251 blood1818 from your hand;3027

12 When3588 you till5647 the ground,127 it shall not from now on3254 yield5414 to you her strength;3581 a fugitive5128 and a vagabond5110 shall you be in the earth.776

13 And Cain7014 said559 to the LORD,3068 My punishment5771 is greater1419 than I can bear.5375

14 Behold,2005 you have driven1644 me out this day3117 from the face6440 of the earth;127 and from your face6440 shall I be hid;5641 and I shall be a fugitive5128 and a vagabond5110 in the earth;776 and it shall come1961 to pass, that every3605 one that finds4672 me shall slay2026 me.

15 And the LORD3068 said559 to him, Therefore3651 whoever3605 slays2026 Cain,7014 vengeance5358 shall be taken on him sevenfold.7659 And the LORD3068 set7760 a mark226 on Cain,7014 lest1115 any3605 finding4672 him should kill5221 him.

16 And Cain7014 went3318 out from the presence6440 of the LORD,3068 and dwelled3427 in the land776 of Nod,5113 on the east6926 of Eden.5731

17 And Cain7014 knew3045 his wife;802 and she conceived,2029 and bore3205 Enoch:2585 and he built1129 a city,5892 and called7121 the name8034 of the city,5892 after the name8034 of his son,1121 Enoch.2585

18 And to Enoch2585 was born3205 Irad:5897 and Irad5897 begat3205 Mehujael:4232 and Mehujael4232 begat3205 Methusael:4967 and Methusael4967 begat3205 Lamech.3929

19 And Lamech3929 took3947 to him two8147 wives:802 the name8034 of the one259 was Adah,5711 and the name8034 of the other8145 Zillah.6741

20 And Adah5711 bore3205 Jabal:2989 he was the father1 of such as dwell3427 in tents,168 and of such as have cattle.4735

21 And his brother's251 name8034 was Jubal:3106 he was the father1 of all3605 such as handle8610 the harp3658 and organ.5748

22 And Zillah,6741 she also1571 bore3205 Tubalcain,8423 an instructor3913 of every3605 artificer2794 in brass5178 and iron:1270 and the sister269 of Tubalcain8423 was Naamah.5279

23 And Lamech3929 said559 to his wives,802 Adah5711 and Zillah,6741 Hear8085 my voice;6963 you wives802 of Lamech,3929 listen238 to my speech:565 for I have slain2026 a man376 to my wounding,6482 and a young3206 man to my hurt.2250

24 If3588 Cain7014 shall be avenged5358 sevenfold,7659 truly Lamech3929 seventy7657 and sevenfold.7659

25 And Adam120 knew3045 his wife802 again;5750 and she bore3205 a son,1121 and called7121 his name8034 Seth:8352 For God,430 said she, has appointed7896 me another312 seed2233 instead8478 of Abel,1893 whom3588 Cain7014 slew.2026

26 And to Seth,8352 to him also1571 there was born3205 a son;1121 and he called7121 his name8034 Enos:583 then227 began2490 men to call7121 on the name8034 of the LORD.3068

23 And all3605 the days3117 of Enoch2585 were three7969 hundred3967 sixty8346 and five2568 years:8141

24 And Enoch2585 walked1980 with God:430 and he was not; for God430 took3947 him.

25 And Methuselah4968 lived2421 an hundred3967 eighty8084 and seven7651 years,8141 and begat3205 Lamech.3929

30 And Lamech3929 lived2421 after310 he begat3205 Noah5146 five2568 hundred3967 ninety8673 and five2568 years,8141 and begat3205 sons1121 and daughters:1323

6

1 And it came1961 to pass, when3588 men120 began2490 to multiply7231 on5921 the face6440 of the earth,127 and daughters1323 were born3205 to them,

2 That the sons1121 of God430 saw7200 the daughters1323 of men120 that they were fair;2896 and they took3947 them wives802 of all3605 which834 they chose.977

3 And the LORD3068 said,559 My spirit7307 shall not always5769 strive1777 with man,120 for that he also7683 is flesh:1320 yet his days3117 shall be an hundred3967 and twenty6242 years.8141

4 There were giants5303 in the earth776 in those1992 days;3117 and also1571 after310 that, when834 the sons1121 of God430 came935 in to the daughters1323 of men,120 and they bore3205 children to them, the same1992 became mighty1368 men120 which834 were of old,5769 men582 of renown.8034

5 And God3068 saw7200 that the wickedness7451 of man120 was great7227 in the earth,776 and that every3605 imagination3336 of the thoughts4284 of his heart3820 was only7535 evil7451 continually.3605 3117

6 And it repented5162 the LORD3068 that he had made6213 man120 on5921 the earth,776 and it grieved6087 him at413 his heart.3820

7 And the LORD3068 said,559 I will destroy4229 man120 whom834 I have created1254 from the face6440 of the earth;127 both man,120 and beast,929 and the creeping7431 thing, and the fowls5775 of the air;8064 for it repents5162 me that I have made6213 them.

8 But Noah5146 found4672 grace2580 in the eyes5869 of the LORD.3068

9 These428 are the generations8435 of Noah:5146 Noah5146 was a just6662 man376 and perfect8549 in his generations,8435 and Noah5146 walked1980 with God.430

10 And Noah5146 begat3205 three7969 sons,1121 Shem,8035 Ham,2526 and Japheth.3315

11 The earth776 also was corrupt7843 before6440 God,430 and the earth776 was filled4390 with violence.2555

12 And God430 looked7200 on the earth,776 and, behold,2009 it was corrupt;7843 for all3605 flesh1320 had corrupted7843 his way on the earth.776

13 And God430 said559 to Noah,5146 The end7093 of all3605 flesh1320 is come935 before6440 me; for the earth776 is filled4390 with violence2555 through6440 them; and, behold,2005 I will destroy7843 them with the earth.776

14 Make6213 you an ark8392 of gopher1613 wood;6086 rooms7064 shall you make6213 in the ark,8392 and shall pitch3722 it within1004 and without2351 with pitch.3724

15 And this2088 is the fashion which834 you shall make6213 it of: The length753 of the ark8392 shall be three7969 hundred3967 cubits,520 the breadth7341 of it fifty2572 cubits,520 and the height6967 of it thirty7970 cubits.520

16 A window6672 shall you make6213 to the ark,8392 and in a cubit520 shall you finish3615 it above;4605 and the door6607 of the ark8392 shall you set7760 in the side6654 thereof; with lower,8482 second,8145 and third7992 stories shall you make6213 it.

17 And, behold,2005 I, even I, do bring935 a flood3999 of waters4325 on the earth,776 to destroy7843 all3605 flesh,1320 wherein834 is the breath7307 of life,2416 from under8478 heaven;8064 and every3605 thing that is in the earth776 shall die.1478

18 But with you will I establish6965 my covenant;1285 and you shall come935 into413 the ark,8392 you, and your sons,1121 and your wife,802 and your sons'1121wives802 with you.

19 And of every3605 living2416 thing of all3605 flesh,1320 two8147 of every3605 sort shall you bring935 into413 the ark,8392 to keep8104 them alive2421 with you; they shall be male2145 and female.5347

20 Of fowls5775 after their kind,4327 and of cattle929 after their kind,4327 of every3605 creeping7431 thing of the earth127 after his kind,4327 two8147 of every3605 sort shall come935 to you, to keep8104 them alive.2421

21 And take3947 you to you of all3605 food3978 that is eaten,398 and you shall gather622 it to you; and it shall be for food402 for you, and for them.

22 Thus did6213 Noah;5146 according to all3605 that God430 commanded6680 him, so3651 did6213 he.

7

1 And the LORD3068 said559 to Noah,5146 Come935 you and all3605 your house1004 into413 the ark;8392 for you have I seen7200 righteous6662 before6440 me in this2088 generation.1755

2 Of every3605 clean2889 beast929 you shall take3947 to you by sevens,7651 the male376 and his female:802 and of beasts929 that are not clean2889 by two,8147 the male376 and his female.802

3 Of fowls5775 also1571 of the air8064 by sevens,7651 the male2145 and the female;5347 to keep seed2233 alive2421 on the face6440 of all3605 the earth.776

4 For yet5750 seven7651 days,3117 and I will cause it to rain4305 on the earth776 forty705 days3117 and forty705 nights;3915 and every3605 living substance3351 that I have made6213 will I destroy4229 from off5921 the face6440 of the earth.127

5 And Noah5146 did6213 according to all3605 that the LORD3068 commanded6680 him.

6 And Noah5146 was six8337 hundred3967 years8141 old1121 when the flood3999 of waters4325 was on the earth.776

7 And Noah5146 went935 in, and his sons,1121 and his wife,802 and his sons' 1121wives802 with him, into413 the ark,8392 because6440 of the waters4325 of the flood.3999

8 Of clean2889 beasts,929 and of beasts929 that are not clean,2889 and of fowls,5775 and of every3605 thing that creeps7430 on the earth,127

9 There went935 in two8147 and two8147 to Noah5146 into413 the ark,8392 the male2145 and the female,5347 as God430 had commanded6680 Noah.5146

10 And it came1961 to pass after seven7651 days,3117 that the waters4325 of the flood3999 were on the earth.776

11 In the six8337 hundredth3967 year8141 of Noah's5146 life,2416 in the second8145 month,2320 the seventeenth7651 6240 day3117 of the month,2320 the same2088 day3117 were all3605 the fountains4599 of the great7227 deep8415 broken1234 up, and the windows699 of heaven8064 were opened.6605

12 And the rain1653 was on the earth776 forty705 days3117 and forty705 nights.3915

13 In the selfsame2088 6106 day3117 entered935 Noah,5146 and Shem,8035 and Ham,2526 and Japheth,3315 the sons1121 of Noah,5146 and Noah's5146 wife,802 and the three7969 wives802 of his sons1121 with them, into413 the ark;8392

14 They, and every3605 beast2416 after his kind,4327 and all3605 the cattle929 after their kind,4327 and every3605 creeping7431 thing that creeps7430 on the earth776 after his kind,4327 and every3605 fowl5775 after his kind,4327 every3605 bird6833 of every3605 sort.3671

15 And they went935 in to Noah5146 into413 the ark,8392 two8147 and two8147 of all3605 flesh,1320 wherein834 is the breath7307 of life.2416

16 And they that went935 in, went935 in male2145 and female5347 of all3605 flesh,1320 as God430 had commanded6680 him: and the LORD3068 shut5462 him in.

17 And the flood3999 was forty705 days3117 on the earth;776 and the waters4325 increased,7235 and bore5375 up the ark,8392 and it was lift7311 up above5921 the earth.776

18 And the waters4325 prevailed,1396 and were increased7235 greatly3966 on the earth;776 and the ark8392 went3212 on the face6440 of the waters.4325

19 And the waters4325 prevailed1396 exceedingly3966 on the earth;776 and all3605 the high1364 hills,2022 that were under8478 the whole3605 heaven,8064 were covered.3680

20 Fifteen6240 cubits520 upward4605 did the waters4325 prevail;1396 and the mountains2022 were covered.3680

21 And all3605 flesh1320 died1478 that moved7430 on the earth,776 both of fowl,5775 and of cattle,929 and of beast,2416 and of every3605 creeping8318 thing that creeps8317 on the earth,776 and every3605 man:120

22 All3605 in whose834 nostrils639 was the breath5397 of life,2416 of all3605 that was in the dry2724 land, died.4191

23 And every3605 living substance3351 was destroyed4229 which834 was on the face6440 of the ground,127 both man,120 and cattle,929 and the creeping7431 things, and the fowl5775 of the heaven;8064 and they were destroyed4229 from the earth:776 and Noah5146 only389 remained7604 alive, and they that were with him in the ark.8392

24 And the waters4325 prevailed1396 on the earth776 an hundred3967 and fifty2572 days.3117

8

1 And God430 remembered2142 Noah,5146 and every3605 living2416 thing, and all3605 the cattle929 that was with him in the ark:8392 and God430 made a wind7307 to pass5674 over5921 the earth,776 and the waters4325 assuaged;7918

2 The fountains4599 also of the deep8415 and the windows699 of heaven8064 were stopped,5534 and the rain1653 from heaven8064 was restrained;3607

3 And the waters4325 returned7725 from off5921 the earth776 continually:1980 7725 and after the end7097 of the hundred3967 and fifty2572 days3117 the waters4325 were abated.2637

4 And the ark8392 rested5117 in the seventh7637 month,2320 on5921 the seventeenth7651 6240 day3117 of the month,2320 on the mountains2022 of Ararat.780

5 And the waters4325 decreased2637 continually1980 until5704 the tenth6224 month:2320 in the tenth6224 month, on5921 the first259 day of the month,2320 were the tops7218 of the mountains2022 seen.7200

6 And it came1961 to pass at the end7093 of forty705 days,3117 that Noah5146 opened6605 the window2474 of the ark8392 which834 he had made:6213

7 And he sent7971 forth a raven,6158 which went3318 forth3318 to and fro,7725 until5704 the waters4325 were dried3001 up from off5921 the earth.776

8 Also he sent7971 forth a dove3123 from him, to see7200 if the waters4325 were abated7043 from off5921 the face6440 of the ground;127

9 But the dove3123 found4672 no3808 rest4494 for the sole3709 of her foot,7272 and she returned7725 to him into413 the ark,8392 for the waters4325 were on5921 the face6440 of the whole3605 earth:776 then he put7971 forth7971 his hand,3027 and took3947 her, and pulled935 her in to him into413 the ark.8392

10 And he stayed2342 yet other312 seven7651 days;3117 and again3254 he sent7971 forth the dove3123 out of the ark;8392

11 And the dove3123 came935 in to him in the evening;6153 and, see,2009 in her mouth6310 was an olive2132 leaf5929 plucked2965 off: so Noah5146 knew3045 that the waters4325 were abated7043 from off5921 the earth.776

12 And he stayed3176 yet other312 seven7651 days;3117 and sent7971 forth the dove;3123 which returned7725 not again3254 to him any5750 more.5750

13 And it came1961 to pass in the six8337 hundredth3967 and first259 year,8141 in the first259 month, the first259 day of the month,2320 the waters4325 were dried2717 up from off5921 the earth:776 and Noah5146 removed5493 the covering4372 of the ark,8392 and looked,7200 and, behold,2009 the face6440 of the ground127 was dry.2720

14 And in the second8145 month,2320 on the seven7651 and twentieth6242 day3117 of the month,2320 was the earth776 dried.3001

15 And God430 spoke1696 to Noah,5146 saying,559

16 Go3318 forth3318 of the ark,8392 you, and your wife,802 and your sons,1121 and your sons' 1121wives802 with you.

17 Bring3318 forth3318 with you every3605 living2416 thing that is with you, of all3605 flesh,1320 both of fowl,5775 and of cattle,929 and of every3605 creeping7431 thing that creeps7430 on the earth;776 that they may breed8317 abundantly8317 in the earth,776 and be fruitful,6509 and multiply7235 on the earth.776

18 And Noah5146 went3318 forth,3318 and his sons,1121 and his wife,802 and his sons' 1121wives802 with him:

19 Every3605 beast,2416 every3605 creeping7431 thing, and every3605 fowl,5775 and whatever3605 creeps7430 on the earth,776 after their kinds,4940 went3318 forth3318 out of the ark.8392

20 And Noah5146 built1129 an altar4196 to the LORD;3068 and took3947 of every3605 clean2889 beast,929 and of every3605 clean2889 fowl,5775 and offered5927 burnt5930 offerings on the altar.4196

21 And the LORD3068 smelled7306 a sweet5207 smell;7381 and the LORD3068 said559 in his heart,3820 I will not again3254 curse7043 the ground127 any5750 more5750 for man's120 sake;5668 for the imagination3336 of man's120 heart3820 is evil7451 from his youth;5271 neither3808 will I again3254 smite5221 any5750 more5750 every3605 thing living,2416 as I have done.6213

22 While5750 the earth776 remains,3117 seedtime2233 and harvest,7105 and cold7120 and heat,2527 and summer7019 and winter,2779 and day3117 and night3915 shall not cease.7673

9

1 And God430 blessed1288 Noah5146 and his sons,1121 and said559 to them, Be fruitful,6509 and multiply,7235 and replenish4390 the earth.776

2 And the fear4172 of you and the dread2844 of you shall be on every3605 beast2416 of the earth,776 and on every3605 fowl5775 of the air,8064 on all3605 that moves7430 on the earth,127 and on all3605 the fishes1709 of the sea;3220 into your hand3027 are they delivered.5414

3 Every3605 moving7430 thing that lives2416 shall be meat402 for you; even as the green3418 herb6212 have I given5414 you all3605 things.

4 But flesh1320 with the life5315 thereof, which is the blood1818 thereof, shall you not eat.398

5 And surely389 your blood1818 of your lives5315 will I require;1875 at the hand3027 of every3605 beast2416 will I require1875 it, and at the hand3027 of man;120 at the hand3027 of every man's120 brother251 will I require1875 the life5315 of man.120

6 Whoever sheds8210 man's120 blood,1818 by man120 shall his blood1818 be shed:8210 for in the image6754 of God430 made6213 he man.120

7 And you, be you fruitful,6509 and multiply;7235 bring8317 forth8317 abundantly8317 in the earth,776 and multiply7235 therein.

8 And God430 spoke559 to Noah,5146 and to his sons1121 with him, saying,559

9 And I, behold,2005 I establish6965 my covenant1285 with you, and with your seed2233 after310 you;

10 And with every3605 living2416 creature5315 that is with you, of the fowl,5775 of the cattle,929 and of every3605 beast2416 of the earth776 with you; from all3605 that go3318 out of the ark,8392 to every3605 beast2416 of the earth.776

11 And I will establish6965 my covenant1285 with you, neither3808 shall all3605 flesh1320 be cut3772 off any5750 more5750 by the waters4325 of a flood;3999 neither3808 shall there any5750 more5750 be a flood3999 to destroy7843 the earth.776

12 And God430 said,559 This2063 is the token226 of the covenant1285 which834 I make5414 between996 me and you and every3605 living2416 creature5315 that is with you, for perpetual5769 generations:1755

13 I do set5414 my bow7198 in the cloud,6051 and it shall be for a token226 of a covenant1285 between996 me and the earth.776

14 And it shall come1961 to pass, when I bring6049 a cloud6051 over5921 the earth,776 that the bow7198 shall be seen7200 in the cloud:6051

15 And I will remember2142 my covenant,1285 which834 is between996 me and you and every3605 living2416 creature5315 of all3605 flesh;1320 and the waters4325 shall no3808 more5750 become1961 a flood3999 to destroy7843 all3605 flesh.1320

16 And the bow7198 shall be in the cloud;6051 and I will look7200 on it, that I may remember2142 the everlasting5769 covenant1285 between996 God430 and every3605 living2416 creature5315 of all3605 flesh1320 that is on the earth.776

17 And God430 said559 to Noah,5146 This is the token226 of the covenant,1285 which834 I have established6965 between996 me and all3605 flesh1320 that is on the earth.776

18 And the sons1121 of Noah,5146 that went3318 forth3318 of the ark,8392 were Shem,8035 and Ham,2526 and Japheth:3315 and Ham2526 is the father1 of Canaan.3667

19 These428 are the three7969 sons1121 of Noah:5146 and of them was the whole3605 earth776 covered.5310

20 And Noah5146 began2490 to be an farmer,376 127 and he planted5193 a vineyard:3754

21 And he drank8354 of the wine,3196 and was drunken;7943 and he was uncovered1540 within8432 his tent.168

22 And Ham,2526 the father1 of Canaan,3667 saw7200 the nakedness6172 of his father,1 and told5046 his two8147 brothers251 without.2351

23 And Shem8035 and Japheth3315 took3947 a garment,8071 and laid7760 it on both8147 their shoulders,7926 and went3212 backward,322 and covered3680 the nakedness6172 of their father;1 and their faces6440 were backward,322 and they saw7200 not their father's1 nakedness.6172

24 And Noah5146 awoke3364 from his wine,3196 and knew3045 what853 834 his younger6996 son1121 had done6213 to him.

25 And he said,559 Cursed779 be Canaan;3667 a servant5650 of servants5650 shall he be to his brothers.251

26 And he said,559 Blessed1288 be the LORD3068 God430 of Shem;8035 and Canaan3667 shall be his servant.5650

27 God430 shall enlarge6601 Japheth,3315 and he shall dwell7931 in the tents168 of Shem;8035 and Canaan3667 shall be his servant.5650

28 And Noah5146 lived2421 after310 the flood3999 three7969 hundred3967 and fifty2572 years.8141

29 And all3605 the days3117 of Noah5146 were nine8672 hundred3967 and fifty2572 years:8141 and he died.4191

10

1 Now these428 are the generations8435 of the sons1121 of Noah,5146 Shem,8035 Ham,2526 and Japheth:3315 and to them were sons1121 born3205 after310 the flood.3999

2 The sons1121 of Japheth;3315 Gomer,1586 and Magog,4031 and Madai,4074 and Javan,3120 and Tubal,8422 and Meshech,4902 and Tiras.8493

3 And the sons1121 of Gomer;1586 Ashkenaz,813 and Riphath,7384 and Togarmah.8425

4 And the sons1121 of Javan;3120 Elishah,473 and Tarshish,8659 Kittim,3794 and Dodanim.1721

5 By these428 were the isles339 of the Gentiles1471 divided6504 in their lands;776 every376 one376 after his tongue,3956 after their families,4940 in their nations.1471

6 And the sons1121 of Ham;2526 Cush,3568 and Mizraim,4714 and Phut,6316 and Canaan.3667

7 And the sons1121 of Cush;3568 Seba,5434 and Havilah,2341 and Sabtah,5454 and Raamah,7484 and Sabtechah:5455 and the sons1121 of Raamah;7484 Sheba,7614 and Dedan.1719

8 And Cush3568 begat3205 Nimrod:5248 he began2490 to be a mighty1368 one in the earth.776

9 He was a mighty1368 hunter6718 before6440 the LORD:3068 why5921 3651 it is said,559 Even as Nimrod5248 the mighty1368 hunter6718 before6440 the LORD.3068

10 And the beginning7225 of his kingdom4467 was Babel,894 and Erech,751 and Accad,390 and Calneh,3641 in the land776 of Shinar.8152

11 Out of that land776 went3318 forth3318 Asshur,804 and built1129 Nineveh,5210 and the city5892 Rehoboth,7344 and Calah,3625

12 And Resen7449 between996 Nineveh5210 and Calah:3625 the same1931 is a great1419 city.5892

13 And Mizraim4714 begat3205 Ludim,3866 and Anamim,6047 and Lehabim,3853 and Naphtuhim,5320

14 And Pathrusim,6625 and Casluhim,3695 (out of whom834 came3318 Philistim,6430) and Caphtorim.3732

15 And Canaan3667 begat3205 Sidon6721 his first born,1060 and Heth,2845

16 And the Jebusite,2983 and the Amorite,567 and the Girgasite,1622

17 And the Hivite,2340 and the Arkite,6208 and the Sinite,5513

18 And the Arvadite,721 and the Zemarite,6786 and the Hamathite:2577 and afterward310 were the families4940 of the Canaanites3669 spread6327 abroad.5310

19 And the border1366 of the Canaanites3669 was from Sidon,6721 as you come935 to Gerar,1642 to Gaza;5804 as you go,935 to Sodom,5467 and Gomorrah,6017 and Admah,126 and Zeboim,6636 even to Lasha.3962

20 These428 are the sons1121 of Ham,2526 after their families,4940 after their tongues,3956 in their countries,776 and in their nations.1471

21 To Shem8035 also,1571 the father1 of all3605 the children1121 of Eber,5677 the brother251 of Japheth3315 the elder,1419 even1571 to him were children born.3205

22 The children1121 of Shem;8035 Elam,5867 and Asshur,804 and Arphaxad,775 and Lud,3865 and Aram.758

23 And the children1121 of Aram;758 Uz,5780 and Hul,2343 and Gether,1666 and Mash.4851

24 And Arphaxad775 begat3205 Salah;7974 and Salah7974 begat3205 Eber.5677

25 And to Eber5677 were born3205 two8147 sons:1121 the name8034 of one259 was Peleg;6389 for in his days3117 was the earth776 divided;6385 and his brother's251 name8034 was Joktan.3355

26 And Joktan3355 begat3205 Almodad,486 and Sheleph,8026 and Hazarmaveth,2700 and Jerah,3392

27 And Hadoram,1913 and Uzal,187 and Diklah,1853

28 And Obal,5745 and Abimael,39 and Sheba,7614

29 And Ophir,211 and Havilah,2341 and Jobab:3103 all3605 these428 were the sons1121 of Joktan.3355

30 And their dwelling4186 was from Mesha,4331 as you go935 to Sephar5611 a mount2022 of the east.6924

31 These428 are the sons1121 of Shem,8035 after their families,4940 after their tongues,3956 in their lands,776 after their nations.1471

32 These428 are the families4940 of the sons1121 of Noah,5146 after their generations,8435 in their nations:1471 and by these428 were the nations1471 divided6504 in the earth776 after310 the flood.3999

11

1 And the whole3605 earth776 was of one259 language,8193 and of one259 speech.1697

2 And it came1961 to pass, as they journeyed5265 from the east,6924 that they found4672 a plain1237 in the land776 of Shinar;8152 and they dwelled3427 there.8033

3 And they said559 one376 to another,7453 Go3051 to, let us make brick,3835 and burn8313 them thoroughly. And they had1961 brick3843 for stone,68 and slime2564 had1961 they for mortar.2563

4 And they said,559 Go3051 to, let us build1129 us a city5892 and a tower,4026 whose top7218 may reach to heaven;8064 and let us make6213 us a name,8034 lest6435 we be scattered6327 abroad6527 on the face6440 of the whole3605 earth.776

5 And the LORD3068 came3381 down3381 to see7200 the city5892 and the tower,4026 which834 the children1121 of men120 built.1129

6 And the LORD3068 said,559 Behold,2005 the people5971 is one,259 and they have all3605 one259 language;8193 and this2088 they begin2490 to do:6213 and now6258 nothing3808 3605 will be restrained1219 from them, which3605 834 they have imagined2161 to do.6213

7 Go3051 to, let us go3381 down,3381 and there8033 confound1101 their language,8193 that they may not understand8085 one376 another's7453 speech.8193

8 So the LORD3068 scattered6327 them abroad6527 from there8033 on the face6440 of all3605 the earth:776 and they left2308 off to build1129 the city.5892

9 Therefore5921 3651 is the name8034 of it called7121 Babel;894 because3588 the LORD3068 did there8033 confound1101 the language8193 of all3605 the earth:776 and from there8033 did the LORD3068 scatter6327 them abroad6527 on the face6440 of all3605 the earth.776

10 These428 are the generations8435 of Shem:8035 Shem8035 was an hundred3967 years8141 old,1121 and begat3205 Arphaxad775 two years8141 after310 the flood:3999

11 And Shem8035 lived2421 after310 he begat3205 Arphaxad775 five2568 hundred3967 years,8141 and begat3205 sons1121 and daughters.1323

12 And Arphaxad775 lived2425 five2568 and thirty7970 years,8141 and begat3205 Salah:7974

13 And Arphaxad775 lived2421 after310 he begat3205 Salah7974 four702 hundred3967 and three7969 years,8141 and begat3205 sons1121 and daughters.1323

14 And Salah7974 lived2425 thirty7970 years,8141 and begat3205 Eber:5677

15 And Salah7974 lived2421 after310 he begat3205 Eber5677 four702 hundred3967 and three7969 years,8141 and begat3205 sons1121 and daughters.1323

16 And Eber5677 lived2421 four702 and thirty7970 years,8141 and begat3205 Peleg:6389

17 And Eber5677 lived2421 after310 he begat3205 Peleg6389 four702 hundred3967 and thirty7970 years,8141 and begat3205 sons1121 and daughters.1323

18 And Peleg6389 lived2421 thirty7970 years,8141 and begat3205 Reu:7466

19 And Peleg6389 lived2421 after310 he begat3205 Reu7466 two hundred3967 and nine8672 years,8141 and begat3205 sons1121 and daughters.1323

20 And Reu7466 lived2421 two8147 and thirty7970 years,8141 and begat3205 Serug:8286

21 And Reu7466 lived2421 after310 he begat3205 Serug8286 two hundred3967 and seven7651 years,8141 and begat3205 sons1121 and daughters.1323

22 And Serug8286 lived2421 thirty7970 years,8141 and begat3205 Nahor:5152

23 And Serug8286 lived2421 after310 he begat3205 Nahor5152 two hundred3967 years,8141 and begat3205 sons1121 and daughters.1323

24 And Nahor5152 lived2421 nine8672 and twenty6242 years,8141 and begat3205 Terah:8646

25 And Nahor5152 lived2421 after310 he begat3205 Terah8646 an hundred3967 and nineteen8672 6240 years,8141 and begat3205 sons1121 and daughters.1323

26 And Terah8646 lived2421 seventy7657 years,8141 and begat3205 Abram,87 Nahor,5152 and Haran.2039

27 Now these428 are the generations8435 of Terah:8646 Terah8646 begat3205 Abram,87 Nahor,5152 and Haran;2039 and Haran2039 begat3205 Lot.3876

28 And Haran2039 died4191 before5921 6440 his father1 Terah8646 in the land776 of his nativity,4138 in Ur218 of the Chaldees.3778

29 And Abram87 and Nahor5152 took3947 them wives:802 the name8034 of Abram's87 wife802 was Sarai;8297 and the name8034 of Nahor's5152 wife,802 Milcah,4435 the daughter1323 of Haran,2039 the father1 of Milcah,4435 and the father1 of Iscah.3252

30 But Sarai8297 was barren;6135 she had no369 child.2056

31 And Terah8646 took3947 Abram87 his son,1121 and Lot3876 the son of Haran2039 his son's1121 son, and Sarai8297 his daughter3618 in law,3618 his son Abram's87 wife;802 and they went3318 forth3318 with them from Ur218 of the Chaldees,3778 to go3212 into the land776 of Canaan;3667 and they came935 to Haran,2771 and dwelled3427 there.8033

32 And the days3117 of Terah8646 were two hundred3967 and five2568 years:8141 and Terah8646 died4191 in Haran.2771

12

1 Now the LORD3068 had said559 to Abram,87 Get3212 you out of your country,776 and from your kindred,4138 and from your father's1 house,1004 to a land776 that I will show7200 you:

2 And I will make6213 of you a great1419 nation,1471 and I will bless1288 you, and make your name8034 great;1431 and you shall be a blessing:1293

3 And I will bless1288 them that bless1288 you, and curse779 him that curses7043 you: and in you shall all3605 families4940 of the earth127 be blessed.1288

4 So Abram87 departed,3212 as the LORD3068 had spoken1696 to him; and Lot3876 went3212 with him: and Abram87 was seventy7657 and five2568 years8141 old1121 when he departed3318 out of Haran.2771

5 And Abram87 took3947 Sarai8297 his wife,802 and Lot3876 his brother's251 son,1121 and all3605 their substance7399 that they had gathered,7408 and the souls5315 that they had gotten6213 in Haran;2771 and they went3318 forth3318 to go3212 into the land776 of Canaan;3667 and into the land776 of Canaan3667 they came.935

6 And Abram87 passed5674 through the land776 to the place4725 of Sichem,7927 to the plain436 of Moreh.4176 And the Canaanite3669 was then227 in the land.776

7 And the LORD3068 appeared7200 to Abram,87 and said,559 To your seed2233 will I give5414 this2063 land:776 and there8033 built1129 he an altar4196 to the LORD,3068 who appeared7200 to him.

8 And he removed6275 from there8033 to a mountain2022 on the east6924 of Bethel,1008 and pitched5186 his tent,168 having Bethel1008 on the west,3220 and Hai5857 on the east:6924 and there8033 he built1129 an altar4196 to the LORD,3068 and called7121 on the name8034 of the LORD.3068

9 And Abram87 journeyed,5265 going1980 on still5265 toward the south.5045

10 And there was a famine7458 in the land:776 and Abram87 went3381 down3381 into Egypt4714 to sojourn1481 there;8033 for the famine7458 was grievous3515 in the land.776

11 And it came1961 to pass, when834 he was come7126 near7126 to enter935 into935 Egypt,4714 that he said559 to Sarai8297 his wife,802 Behold2009 now,4994 I know3045 that you are a fair3303 woman802 to look4758 on:

12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when3588 the Egyptians4713 shall see7200 you, that they shall say,559 This2063 is his wife:802 and they will kill2026 me, but they will save2421 you alive.2421

13 Say,559 I pray4994 you, you are my sister:269 that it may be well3190 with me for your sake;5668 and my soul5315 shall live2421 because1558 of you.

14 And it came1961 to pass, that, when Abram87 was come935 into Egypt,4714 the Egyptians4713 beheld7200 the woman802 that she was very3966 fair.3303

15 The princes8269 also of Pharaoh6547 saw7200 her, and commended1984 her before413 Pharaoh:6547 and the woman802 was taken3947 into Pharaoh's6547 house.1004

16 And he entreated Abram87 well3190 for her sake:5668 and he had1961 sheep,6629 and oxen,1241 and he asses,2543 and menservants,5650 and maidservants,8198 and she asses,860 and camels.1581

17 And the LORD3068 plagued5060 Pharaoh6547 and his house1004 with great1419 plagues5061 because5921 1697 of Sarai8297 Abram's87 wife.802

18 And Pharaoh6547 called7121 Abram 87and said,559 What4100 is this2063 that you have done6213 to me? why4100 did you not tell5046 me that she was your wife?802

19 Why4100 said559 you, She is my sister?269 so I might have taken3947 her to me to wife:802 now6258 therefore behold2009 your wife,802 take3947 her, and go3212 your way.

20 And Pharaoh6547 commanded6680 his men582 concerning5921 him: and they sent7971 him away, and his wife,802 and all3605 that he had.

13

1 And Abram87 went5927 up out of Egypt,4714 he, and his wife,802 and all3605 that he had, and Lot3876 with him, into the south.5045

2 And Abram87 was very3966 rich3513 in cattle,4735 in silver,3701 and in gold.2091

3 And he went3212 on his journeys4550 from the south5045 even to Bethel,1008 to the place4725 where834 his tent168 had been1961 at the beginning,8462 between996 Bethel1008 and Hai;5857

4 To the place4725 of the altar,4196 which834 he had made6213 there8033 at the first:7223 and there8033 Abram87 called7121 on the name8034 of the LORD.3068

5 And Lot3876 also,1571 which went1980 with Abram,87 had1961 flocks,6629 and herds,1241 and tents.168

6 And the land776 was not able5375 to bear5375 them, that they might dwell3427 together:3162 for their substance7399 was great,7227 so that they could3201 not dwell3427 together.3162

7 And there was a strife7379 between996 the herdsmen7462 of Abram's87 cattle4735 and the herdsmen7462 of Lot's3876 cattle:4735 and the Canaanite3669 and the Perizzite6522 dwelled3427 then227 in the land.776

8 And Abram87 said559 to Lot,3876 Let there be no408 strife,4808 I pray4994 you, between996 me and you, and between996 my herdsmen7462 and your herdsmen;7462 for we be brothers.251

9 Is not the whole3605 land776 before6440 you? separate6504 yourself, I pray4994 you, from me: if518 you will take the left8040 hand,8041 then I will go to the right;3231 or if518 you depart to the right3225 hand,3225 then I will go to the left.8041

10 And Lot3876 lifted5375 up his eyes,5869 and beheld7200 all3605 the plain3603 of Jordan,3383 that it was well watered4945 every3605 where, before6440 the LORD3068 destroyed7843 Sodom5467 and Gomorrah,6017 even as the garden1588 of the LORD,3068 like the land776 of Egypt,4714 as you come935 to Zoar.6820

11 Then Lot3876 chose977 him all3605 the plain3603 of Jordan;3383 and Lot3876 journeyed5265 east:6924 and they separated6504 themselves the one376 from the other.251

12 Abram87 dwelled3427 in the land776 of Canaan,3667 and Lot3876 dwelled3427 in the cities5892 of the plain,3603 and pitched167 his tent167 toward5704 Sodom.5467

13 But the men582 of Sodom5467 were wicked7451 and sinners2400 before the LORD3068 exceedingly.3966

14 And the LORD3068 said559 to Abram,87 after310 that Lot3876 was separated6504 from him, Lift5375 up now your eyes,5869 and look7200 from the place4725 where834 8033 you are northward,6828 and southward,5045 and eastward,6924 and westward:3220

15 For all3605 the land776 which834 you see,7200 to you will I give5414 it, and to your seed2233 for ever.5769

16 And I will make7760 your seed2233 as the dust6083 of the earth:776 so834 that if518 a man376 can3201 number4487 the dust6083 of the earth,776 then shall your seed2233 also1571 be numbered.4487

17 Arise,6965 walk1980 through the land776 in the length753 of it and in the breadth7341 of it; for I will give5414 it to you.

18 Then Abram87 removed167 his tent,167 and came935 and dwelled3427 in the plain436 of Mamre,4471 which is in Hebron,2275 and built1129 there8033 an altar4196 to the LORD.3068

14

1 And it came1961 to pass in the days3117 of Amraphel569 king4428 of Shinar,8152 Arioch746 king4428 of Ellasar,495 Chedorlaomer3540 king4428 of Elam,5867 and Tidal8413 king4428 of nations;1471

2 That these made6213 war4421 with Bera1298 king4428 of Sodom,5467 and with Birsha1306 king4428 of Gomorrah,6017 Shinab8134 king4428 of Admah,126 and Shemeber8038 king4428 of Zeboiim,6636 and the king4428 of Bela,1106 which1931 is Zoar.6820

3 All3605 these428 were joined2266 together in the vale6010 of Siddim,7708 which1931 is the salt4417 sea.3220

4 Twelve8147 6240 years8141 they served5647 Chedorlaomer,3540 and in the thirteenth7969 6240 year8141 they rebelled.4775

5 And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim,

6 And the Horites2752 in their mount2042 Seir,8165 to Elparan,364 which834 is by the wilderness.4057

7 And they returned,7725 and came935 to Enmishpat,5880 which is Kadesh,6946 and smote5221 all3605 the country7704 of the Amalekites,6003 and also1571 the Amorites,567 that dwelled3427 in Hazezontamar.2688

8 And there went3318 out the king4428 of Sodom,5467 and the king4428 of Gomorrah,6017 and the king4428 of Admah,126 and the king4428 of Zeboiim,6636 and the king4428 of Bela1106 (the same1931 is Zoar;6820) and they joined6186 battle4421 with them in the vale6010 of Siddim;7708

9 With Chedorlaomer3540 the king4428 of Elam,5867 and with Tidal8413 king4428 of nations,1471 and Amraphel569 king4428 of Shinar,8152 and Arioch746 king4428 of Ellasar;495 four702 kings4428 with five.2568

10 And the vale6010 of Siddim7708 was full of slime pits;2564 and the kings4428 of Sodom5467 and Gomorrah6017 fled,5127 and fell5307 there;8033 and they that remained7604 fled5127 to the mountain.2022

11 And they took3947 all3605 the goods7399 of Sodom5467 and Gomorrah,6017 and all3605 their victuals,400 and went3212 their way.3212

12 And they took3947 Lot,3876 Abram's87 brother's251 son,1121 who1931 dwelled3427 in Sodom,5467 and his goods,7399 and departed.3212

13 And there came935 one that had escaped,6412 and told5046 Abram87 the Hebrew;5680 for he dwelled7931 in the plain436 of Mamre4471 the Amorite,567 brother251 of Eshcol,812 and brother251 of Aner:6063 and these1992 were confederate1167 1285 with Abram.87

14 And when3588 Abram87 heard8085 that his brother251 was taken captive,7617 he armed7324 his trained2593 servants, born3211 in his own house,1004 three7969 hundred3967 and eighteen,8083 6240 and pursued7291 them to Dan.1835

15 And he divided2505 himself against5921 them, he and his servants,5650 by night,3915 and smote5221 them, and pursued7291 them to Hobah,2327 which834 is on the left8040 hand8040 of Damascus.1834

16 And he brought7725 back7725 all3605 the goods,7399 and also1571 brought7725 again7725 his brother251 Lot,3876 and his goods,7399 and the women802 also,1571 and the people.5971

17 And the king4428 of Sodom5467 went3318 out to meet7125 him after310 his return7725 from the slaughter5221 of Chedorlaomer,3540 and of the kings4428 that were with him, at413 the valley6010 of Shaveh,7740 which1931 is the king's4428 dale.6010

18 And Melchizedek4442 king4428 of Salem8004 brought3318 forth3318 bread3899 and wine:3196 and he was the priest3548 of the most5945 high5945 God.410

19 And he blessed1288 him, and said,559 Blessed1288 be Abram87 of the most5945 high5945 God,410 possessor7069 of heaven8064 and earth:776

20 And blessed1288 be the most5945 high5945 God,410 which834 has delivered4042 your enemies6862 into your hand.3027 And he gave5414 him tithes4643 of all.3605

21 And the king4428 of Sodom5467 said559 to Abram,87 Give5414 me the persons,5315 and take3947 the goods7399 to yourself.

22 And Abram87 said559 to the king4428 of Sodom,5467 I have lift7311 up my hand3027 to the LORD,3068 the most5945 high5945 God,410 the possessor7069 of heaven8064 and earth,776

23 That I will not take3947 from a thread2339 even5704 to a shoelatchet,8288 5275 and that I will not take3947 any3605 thing that is yours, lest3808 you should say,559 I have made Abram87 rich:6238

24 Save1107 only7535 that which834 the young5288 men have eaten,398 and the portion2506 of the men582 which834 went1980 with me, Aner,6063 Eshcol,812 and Mamre;4471 let them take3947 their portion.2506

15

1 After310 these428 things1697 the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 to Abram87 in a vision,4236 saying,559 Fear3372 not, Abram:87 I am your shield,4043 and your exceeding3966 great7235 reward.7939

2 And Abram87 said,559 LORD136 God,3069 what4100 will you give5414 me, seeing I go1980 childless,6185 and the steward1121 4943 of my house1004 is this1931 Eliezer461 of Damascus?1834

3 And Abram87 said,559 Behold,2005 to me you have given5414 no3808 seed:2233 and, see,2009 one born1121 in my house1004 is my heir.3423

4 And, behold,2009 the word1697 of the LORD3068 came to him, saying,559 This2088 shall not be your heir;3423 but he that shall come3318 forth3318 out of your own bowels4578 shall be your heir.3423

5 And he brought3318 him forth3318 abroad,2351 and said,559 Look5027 now4994 toward heaven,8064 and tell5608 the stars,3556 if518 you be able3201 to number5608 them: and he said559 to him, So3541 shall your seed2233 be.

6 And he believed539 in the LORD;3068 and he counted2803 it to him for righteousness.6666

7 And he said559 to him, I am the LORD3068 that brought3318 you out of Ur218 of the Chaldees,3778 to give5414 you this2063 land776 to inherit3423 it.

8 And he said,559 LORD136 God,3069 whereby4100 shall I know3045 that I shall inherit3423 it?

9 And he said559 to him, Take3947 me an heifer5697 of three8027 years8027 old,8027 and a she goat5795 of three8027 years8027 old,8027 and a ram352 of three8027 years8027 old,8027 and a turtledove,8449 and a young1469 pigeon.1469

10 And he took3947 to him all3605 these,428 and divided1334 them in the middle,8432 and laid5414 each376 piece1335 one against7125 another:7453 but the birds6833 divided1334 he not.

11 And when the fowls5861 came3381 down3381 on the carcasses,6297 Abram87 drove5380 them away.

12 And when1961 the sun8121 was going935 down,935 a deep8639 sleep8639 fell5307 on Abram;87 and, see,2009 an horror367 of great1419 darkness2825 fell5307 on him.

13 And he said559 to Abram,87 Know3045 of a surety3045 that your seed2233 shall be a stranger1616 in a land776 that is not their's,1992 and shall serve5647 them; and they shall afflict6031 them four702 hundred3967 years;8141

14 And also1571 that nation,1471 whom834 they shall serve,5647 will I judge:1777 and afterward310 3651 shall they come3318 out with great1419 substance.7399

15 And you shall go935 to your fathers1 in peace;7965 you shall be buried6912 in a good2896 old7872 age.7872

16 But in the fourth7243 generation1755 they shall come7725 here2008 again:7725 for the iniquity5771 of the Amorites567 is not yet5704 2008 full.8003

17 And it came1961 to pass, that, when1961 the sun8121 went935 down,935 and it was dark,5939 behold2009 a smoking6227 furnace,8574 and a burning784 lamp3940 that passed5674 between996 those428 pieces.1506

18 In the same1931 day3117 the LORD3068 made3772 a covenant1285 with Abram,87 saying,559 To your seed2233 have I given5414 this2063 land,776 from the river5104 of Egypt4714 to the great1419 river,5104 the river5104 Euphrates:6578

19 The Kenites,7017 and the Kenizzites,7074 and the Kadmonites,6935

20 And the Hittites,2850 and the Perizzites,6522 and the Rephaims,7497

21 And the Amorites,567 and the Canaanites,3669 and the Girgashites,1622 and the Jebusites.2983

16

1 Now Sarai8297 Abram's87 wife802 bore3205 him no3808 children: and she had an handmaid,8198 an Egyptian,4713 whose name8034 was Hagar.1904

2 And Sarai8297 said559 to Abram,87 Behold2009 now,4994 the LORD3068 has restrained6113 me from bearing:3205 I pray4994 you, go935 in to my maid;8198 it may194 be that I may obtain1129 children1129 by her. And Abram87 listened8085 to the voice6963 of Sarai.8297

3 And Sarai8297 Abram's87 wife802 took3947 Hagar1904 her maid8198 the Egyptian,4713 after7093 Abram87 had dwelled3427 ten6235 years8141 in the land776 of Canaan,3667 and gave5414 her to her husband376 Abram87 to be his wife.802

4 And he went935 in to Hagar,1904 and she conceived:2029 and when she saw7200 that she had conceived,2029 her mistress1404 was despised7043 in her eyes.5869

5 And Sarai8297 said559 to Abram,87 My wrong2555 be on you: I have given5414 my maid8198 into your bosom;2436 and when she saw7200 that she had conceived,2029 I was despised7043 in her eyes:5869 the LORD3068 judge8199 between996 me and you.

6 But Abram87 said559 to Sarai,8297 Behold,2009 your maid8198 is in your hand;3027 do6213 to her as it pleases2896 5869 you. And when Sarai8297 dealt hardly6031 with her, she fled1272 from her face.6440

7 And the angel4397 of the LORD3068 found4672 her by a fountain5869 of water4325 in the wilderness,4057 by the fountain5869 in the way1870 to Shur.7793

8 And he said,559 Hagar,1904 Sarai's8297 maid,8198 from where335 2088 came935 you? and where575 will you go?3212 And she said,559 I flee1272 from the face6440 of my mistress1404 Sarai.8297

9 And the angel4397 of the LORD3068 said559 to her, Return7725 to your mistress,1404 and submit6031 yourself under8478 her hands.3027

10 And the angel4397 of the LORD3068 said559 to her, I will multiply7235 your seed2233 exceedingly,7235 that it shall not be numbered5608 for multitude.7230

11 And the angel4397 of the LORD3068 said559 to her, Behold,2009 you are with child 2030and shall bear3205 a son,1121 and shall call7121 his name8034 Ishmael;3458 because3588 the LORD3068 has heard8085 your affliction.6040

12 And he will be a wild6501 man;120 his hand3027 will be against every3605 man, and every3605 man's hand3027 against him; and he shall dwell7931 in the presence6440 of all his brothers.251

13 And she called7121 the name8034 of the LORD3068 that spoke1696 to her, You God410 see7210 me: for she said,559 Have I also1571 here1988 looked7200 after310 him that sees7210 me?

14 Why5921 3651 the well875 was called7121 Beerlahairoi;883 behold,2009 it is between996 Kadesh6946 and Bered.1260

15 And Hagar1904 bore3205 Abram87 a son:1121 and Abram87 called7121 his son's1121 name,8034 which834 Hagar1904 bore,3205 Ishmael.3458

16 And Abram87 was fourscore8084 and six8337 years8141 old,1121 when Hagar1904 bore3205 Ishmael3458 to Abram.87

17

1 And when1961 Abram87 was ninety8673 years8141 old1121 and nine,8672 the LORD3068 appeared7200 to Abram,87 and said559 to him, I am the Almighty7706 God;410 walk1980 before6440 me, and be you perfect.8549

2 And I will make5414 my covenant1285 between996 me and you, and will multiply7235 you exceedingly.3966

3 And Abram87 fell5307 on5921 his face:6440 and God430 talked1696 with him, saying,559

4 As for me, behold,2009 my covenant1285 is with you, and you shall be a father1 of many1995 nations.1471

5 Neither3808 shall your name8034 any5750 more5750 be called7121 Abram,87 but your name8034 shall be Abraham;85 for a father1 of many1995 nations1471 have I made5414 you.

6 And I will make you exceeding3966 fruitful,6509 and I will make5414 nations1471 of you, and kings4428 shall come3318 out of you.

7 And I will establish6965 my covenant1285 between996 me and you and your seed2233 after310 you in their generations1755 for an everlasting5769 covenant,1285 to be a God430 to you, and to your seed2233 after310 you.

8 And I will give5414 to you, and to your seed2233 after310 you, the land776 wherein you are a stranger,4033 all the land776 of Canaan,3667 for an everlasting5769 possession;272 and I will be their God.430

9 And God430 said559 to Abraham,85 You shall keep8104 my covenant1285 therefore, you, and your seed2233 after310 you in their generations.1755

10 This2063 is my covenant,1285 which834 you shall keep,8104 between996 me and you and your seed2233 after310 you; Every3605 man2145 child among you shall be circumcised.4135

11 And you shall circumcise5243 the flesh1320 of your foreskin;6190 and it shall be a token226 of the covenant1285 between996 me and you.

12 And he that is eight8083 days3117 old1121 shall be circumcised4135 among you, every3605 man2145 child in your generations,1755 he that is born3211 in the house,1004 or bought4736 with money3701 of any3605 stranger,1121 5235 which834 is not of your seed.2233

13 He that is born3211 in your house,1004 and he that is bought4736 with your money,3701 must needs4135 be circumcised:4135 and my covenant1285 shall be in your flesh1320 for an everlasting5769 covenant.1285

14 And the uncircumcised6189 man2145 child whose834 flesh1320 of his foreskin6190 is not circumcised,4135 that soul5315 shall be cut3772 off from his people;5971 he has broken6565 my covenant.1285

15 And God430 said559 to Abraham,85 As for Sarai8297 your wife,802 you shall not call7121 her name8034 Sarai,8297 but Sarah8283 shall her name8034 be.

16 And I will bless1288 her, and give5414 you a son1121 also1571 of her: yes, I will bless1288 her, and she shall be a mother of nations;1471 kings4428 of people5971 shall be of her.

17 Then Abraham85 fell5307 on his face,6440 and laughed,6711 and said559 in his heart,3820 Shall a child be born3205 to him that is an hundred3967 years8141 old?1121 and shall Sarah,8283 that is ninety8673 years8141 old,1323 bear?3205

18 And Abraham85 said559 to God,430 O that Ishmael3458 might live2421 before6440 you!

19 And God430 said,559 Sarah8283 your wife802 shall bear3205 you a son1121 indeed;61 and you shall call7121 his name8034 Isaac:3327 and I will establish6965 my covenant1285 with him for an everlasting5769 covenant,1285 and with his seed2233 after310 him.

20 And as for Ishmael,3458 I have heard8085 you: Behold,2009 I have blessed1288 him, and will make him fruitful,6509 and will multiply7235 him exceedingly;3966 twelve8147 6240 princes5387 shall he beget,3205 and I will make5414 him a great1419 nation.1471

21 But my covenant1285 will I establish6965 with Isaac,3327 which834 Sarah8283 shall bear3205 to you at this2088 set4150 time in the next312 year.8141

22 And he left3615 off talking1696 with him, and God430 went5927 up from Abraham.85

23 And Abraham85 took3947 Ishmael3458 his son,1121 and all3605 that were born3211 in his house,1004 and all3605 that were bought4736 with his money,3701 every3605 male2145 among the men582 of Abraham's85 house;1004 and circumcised4135 the flesh1320 of their foreskin6190 in the selfsame2088 6106 day,3117 as God430 had said1696 to him.

24 And Abraham85 was ninety8673 years8141 old1121 and nine,8672 when he was circumcised4135 in the flesh1320 of his foreskin.6190

25 And Ishmael3458 his son1121 was thirteen7969 6240 years8141 old,1121 when he was circumcised4135 in the flesh1320 of his foreskin.6190

26 In the selfsame2088 6106 day3117 was Abraham85 circumcised,4135 and Ishmael3458 his son.1121

27 And all3605 the men582 of his house,1004 born3211 in the house,1004 and bought4736 with money3701 of the stranger,1121 5235 were circumcised4135 with him.

18

1 And the LORD3068 appeared7200 to him in the plains436 of Mamre:4471 and he sat3427 in the tent168 door6607 in the heat2527 of the day;3117

2 And he lift5375 up his eyes5869 and looked,7200 and, see,2009 three7969 men582 stood5324 by him: and when he saw7200 them, he ran7323 to meet7125 them from the tent168 door,6607 and bowed7812 himself toward the ground,776

3 And said,559 My LORD,136 if518 now4994 I have found4672 favor2580 in your sight,5869 pass5674 not away, I pray4994 you, from your servant:5650

4 Let a little4592 water,4325 I pray4994 you, be fetched,3947 and wash7364 your feet,7272 and rest8172 yourselves under8478 the tree:6086

5 And I will fetch3947 a morsel6595 of bread,3899 and comfort5582 you your hearts;3820 after310 that you shall pass5674 on: for therefore5921 3651 are you come5674 to your servant.5650 And they said,1696 So3651 do,6213 as you have said.1696

6 And Abraham85 hastened4116 into the tent168 to Sarah,8283 and said,559 Make ready4116 quickly4116 three7969 measures5429 of fine5560 meal,7058 5560 knead3888 it, and make6213 cakes5692 on the hearth.3820

7 And Abraham85 ran7323 to the herd,1241 and fetched3947 a calf1121 1241 tender7390 and good,2896 and gave5414 it to a young5288 man; and he hurried4116 to dress6213 it.

8 And he took3947 butter,2529 and milk,2461 and the calf1121 1241 which834 he had dressed,6213 and set5414 it before6440 them; and he stood5975 by them under8478 the tree,6086 and they did eat.398

9 And they said559 to him, Where346 is Sarah8283 your wife?802 And he said,559 Behold,2009 in the tent.168

10 And he said,559 I will certainly7725 return7725 to you according to the time6256 of life;2416 and, see,2009 Sarah8283 your wife802 shall have a son.1121 And Sarah8283 heard8085 it in the tent168 door,6607 which1931 was behind310 him.

11 Now Abraham85 and Sarah8283 were old2205 and well stricken935 in age;3117 and it ceased2308 to be with Sarah8283 after the manner734 of women.802

12 Therefore Sarah8283 laughed6711 within7130 herself, saying,559 After310 I am waxed old1086 shall I have1961 pleasure,5730 my lord113 being old2204 also?

13 And the LORD3068 said559 to Abraham,85 Why4100 did Sarah8283 laugh,6711 saying,559 Shall I of a surety552 bear3205 a child, which589 am old?2204

14 Is any thing1697 too hard6381 for the LORD?3068 At the time appointed4150 I will return7725 to you, according to the time6256 of life,2416 and Sarah8283 shall have a son.1121

15 Then Sarah8283 denied,3584 saying,559 I laughed6711 not; for she was afraid.3372 And he said,559 No;3808 but you did laugh.6711

16 And the men582 rose6965 up from there,8033 and looked8259 toward5921 6440 Sodom:5467 and Abraham85 went1980 with them to bring7971 them on the way.7971

17 And the LORD3068 said,559 Shall I hide3680 from Abraham85 that thing which834 I do;6213

18 Seeing that Abraham85 shall surely become1961 a great1419 and mighty6099 nation,1471 and all3605 the nations1471 of the earth776 shall be blessed1288 in him?

19 For I know3045 him, that he will command6680 his children1121 and his household1004 after310 him, and they shall keep8104 the way1870 of the LORD,3068 to do6213 justice6666 and judgment;4941 that the LORD3068 may bring935 on Abraham85 that which834 he has spoken1696 of him.

20 And the LORD3068 said,559 Because3588 the cry2201 of Sodom5467 and Gomorrah6017 is great,7227 and because3588 their sin2403 is very3966 grievous;3513

21 I will go3381 down3381 now,4994 and see7200 whether they have done6213 altogether3617 according to the cry6818 of it, which is come935 to me; and if518 not, I will know.3045

22 And the men582 turned6437 their faces from there,8033 and went3212 toward Sodom:5467 but Abraham85 stood5975 yet5750 before6440 the LORD.3068

23 And Abraham85 drew near,5066 and said,559 Will you also637 destroy5595 the righteous6662 with the wicked?7563

24 Peradventure194 there be fifty2572 righteous6662 within8432 the city:5892 will you also637 destroy5595 and not spare5375 the place4725 for the fifty2572 righteous6662 that are therein?7130

25 That be far2486 from you to do6213 after3651 this2088 manner,1697 to slay4191 the righteous6662 with the wicked:7563 and that the righteous6662 should be as the wicked,7563 that be far2486 from you: Shall not the Judge8199 of all3605 the earth776 do6213 right?4941

26 And the LORD3068 said,559 If518 I find4672 in Sodom5467 fifty2572 righteous6662 within8432 the city,5892 then I will spare5375 all3605 the place4725 for their sakes.5668

27 And Abraham85 answered6030 and said,559 Behold2009 now,4994 I have taken2974 on me to speak1696 to the LORD,136 which595 am but dust6083 and ashes:665

28 Peradventure194 there shall lack2637 five2568 of the fifty2572 righteous:6662 will you destroy7843 all3605 the city5892 for lack of five?2568 And he said,559 If518 I find4672 there8033 forty705 and five,2568 I will not destroy7843 it.

29 And he spoke1696 to him yet5750 again,3254 and said,559 Peradventure194 there shall be forty705 found4672 there. And he said,559 I will not do6213 it for forty's705 sake.5668

30 And he said559 to him, Oh4994 let not the LORD136 be angry,2734 and I will speak:1696 Peradventure194 there8033 shall thirty7970 be found4672 there.8033 And he said,559 I will not do6213 it, if518 I find4672 thirty7970 there.8033

31 And he said,559 Behold2009 now,4994 I have taken2974 on me to speak1696 to the LORD:136 Peradventure194 there8033 shall be twenty6242 found4672 there.8033 And he said,559 I will not destroy7843 it for twenty's6242 sake.5668

32 And he said,559 Oh4994 let not the LORD136 be angry,2734 and I will speak1696 yet389 but this6471 once:6471 Peradventure194 ten6235 shall be found4672 there.8033 And he said,559 I will not destroy7843 it for ten's6235 sake.5668

33 And the LORD3068 went3212 his way,3212 as soon834 as he had left3615 communing1696 with Abraham:85 and Abraham85 returned7725 to his place.4725

19

1 And there came935 two8147 angels4397 to Sodom5467 at even;6153 and Lot3876 sat3427 in the gate8179 of Sodom:5467 and Lot3876 seeing7200 them rose6965 up to meet7125 them; and he bowed7812 himself with his face639 toward the ground;776

2 And he said,559 Behold2009 now,4994 my lords,113 turn5493 in, I pray4994 you, into413 your servant's5650 house,1004 and tarry3885 all3885 night, and wash7364 your feet,7272 and you shall rise7925 up early,7925 and go1980 on your ways.1870 And they said,559 No;3808 but we will abide3885 in the street7339 all3885 night.

3 And he pressed6484 on them greatly;3966 and they turned5493 in to him, and entered935 into413 his house;1004 and he made6213 them a feast,4960 and did bake644 unleavened4682 bread, and they did eat.398

4 But before2962 they lay7901 down, the men582 of the city,5892 even the men582 of Sodom,5467 compassed5437 the house1004 round,5921 both old2205 and young,5288 all3605 the people5971 from every quarter:7098

5 And they called7121 to Lot,3876 and said559 to him, Where346 are the men582 which834 came935 in to you this night?3915 bring3318 them out to us, that we may know3045 them.

6 And Lot3876 went3318 out at the door6607 to them, and shut5462 the door1817 after310 him,

7 And said,559 I pray4994 you, brothers,251 do not so wickedly.7489

8 Behold2009 now,4994 I have two8147 daughters1323 which834 have not known3045 man;376 let me, I pray4994 you, bring3318 them out to you, and do6213 you to them as is good2896 in your eyes:5869 only7535 to these428 men582 do6213 nothing;3808 1697 for therefore5921 3651 came935 they under the shadow6738 of my roof.6982

9 And they said,559 Stand5066 back.1973 And they said559 again, This one259 fellow came935 in to sojourn,1481 and he will needs8199 be a judge:8199 now6258 will we deal worse7489 with you, than with them. And they pressed6484 sore3966 on the man,376 even Lot,3876 and came5066 near5066 to break7665 the door.1817

10 But the men582 put7971 forth7971 their hand,3027 and pulled935 Lot3876 into the house1004 to them, and shut5462 to the door.1817

11 And they smote5221 the men582 that were at the door6607 of the house1004 with blindness,5575 both small6996 and great:1419 so that they wearied3811 themselves to find4672 the door.6607

12 And the men582 said559 to Lot,3876 Have you here6311 any4310 besides?5750 son1121 in law,2859 and your sons,1121 and your daughters,1323 and whatever3605 834 you have in the city,5892 bring3318 them out of this place:4725

13 For we will destroy7843 this2088 place,4725 because3588 the cry6818 of them is waxen great1431 before854 the face6440 of the LORD;3068 and the LORD3068 has sent7971 us to destroy7843 it.

14 And Lot3876 went3318 out, and spoke1696 to his sons2860 in law,2859 which married3947 his daughters,1323 and said,559 Up, get3318 you out of this2088 place;4725 for the LORD3068 will destroy7843 this city.5892 But he seemed1961 5869 as one that mocked6711 to his sons2860 in law.2859

15 And when3644 the morning7837 arose,5927 then the angels4397 hastened213 Lot,3876 saying,559 Arise,6965 take3947 your wife,802 and your two8147 daughters,1323 which are here;4672 lest6435 you be consumed5595 in the iniquity5771 of the city.5892

16 And while he lingered,4102 the men582 laid hold2388 on his hand,3027 and on the hand3027 of his wife,802 and on the hand3027 of his two8147 daughters;1323 the LORD3068 being merciful2551 to him: and they brought3318 him forth,3318 and set3240 him without2351 the city.5892

17 And it came1961 to pass, when they had brought3318 them forth3318 abroad,2351 that he said,559 Escape4422 for your life;5315 look5027 not behind310 you, neither408 stay5975 you in all3605 the plain;3603 escape4422 to the mountain,2022 lest6435 you be consumed.5595

18 And Lot3876 said559 to them, Oh,4994 not so, my LORD:113

19 Behold2009 now,4994 your servant5650 has found4672 grace2580 in your sight,5869 and you have magnified1431 your mercy,2617 which834 you have showed6213 to me in saving2421 my life;5315 and I cannot3808 3201 escape4422 to the mountain,2022 lest6435 some evil7451 take1692 me, and I die:4191

20 Behold2009 now,4994 this2063 city5892 is near7138 to flee5127 to, and it is a little4705 one: Oh,4994 let me escape4422 thither,8033 (is it not a little4705 one?) and my soul5315 shall live.2421

21 And he said559 to him, See,2009 I have accepted5375 you concerning this2088 thing1697 also,1571 that I will not overthrow2015 this city,5892 for the which834 you have spoken.1696

22 Haste4116 you, escape4422 thither;8033 for I cannot3808 3201 do6213 anything1697 till5704 you be come935 thither.8033 Therefore5921 3651 the name8034 of the city5892 was called7121 Zoar.6820

23 The sun8121 was risen3318 on the earth776 when Lot3876 entered935 into Zoar.6820

24 Then the LORD3068 rained4305 on Sodom5467 and on Gomorrah6017 brimstone1614 and fire784 from the LORD3068 out of heaven;8064

25 And he overthrew2015 those411 cities,5892 and all3605 the plain,3603 and all3605 the inhabitants3427 of the cities,5892 and that which grew6780 on the ground.127

26 But his wife802 looked5027 back from behind310 him, and she became1961 a pillar5333 of salt.4417

27 And Abraham85 got up early7925 in the morning1242 to the place4725 where834 he stood5975 before854 6440 the LORD:3068

28 And he looked8259 toward5921 6440 Sodom5467 and Gomorrah,6017 and toward5921 6440 all3605 the land776 of the plain,3603 and beheld,7200 and, see,2009 the smoke7008 of the country776 went5927 up as the smoke7008 of a furnace.3536

29 And it came1961 to pass, when God430 destroyed7843 the cities5892 of the plain,3603 that God430 remembered2142 Abraham,85 and sent7971 Lot3876 out of the middle8432 of the overthrow,2018 when he overthrew2015 the cities5892 in the which834 2004 Lot3876 dwelled.3427

30 And Lot3876 went5927 up out of Zoar,6820 and dwelled3427 in the mountain,2022 and his two8147 daughters1323 with him; for he feared3372 to dwell3427 in Zoar:6820 and he dwelled3427 in a cave,4631 he and his two8147 daughters.1323

31 And the firstborn1067 said559 to the younger,6810 Our father1 is old,2204 and there is not a man376 in the earth776 to come935 in to us after the manner1870 of all3605 the earth:776

32 Come,3212 let us make our father1 drink8248 wine,3196 and we will lie7901 with him, that we may preserve2421 seed2233 of our father.1

33 And they made their father1 drink8248 wine3196 that night:3915 and the firstborn1067 went935 in, and lay7901 with her father;1 and he perceived3045 not when she lay7901 down, nor when she arose.6965

34 And it came1961 to pass on the morrow,4283 that the firstborn1067 said559 to the younger,6810 Behold,2005 I lay7901 last night570 with my father:1 let us make him drink8248 wine3196 this night3915 also;1571 and go935 you in, and lie7901 with him, that we may preserve2421 seed2233 of our father.1

35 And they made their father1 drink8248 wine3196 that night3915 also:1571 and the younger6810 arose,6965 and lay7901 with him; and he perceived3045 not when she lay7901 down, nor when she arose.6965

36 Thus were both8147 the daughters1323 of Lot3876 with child2029 by their father.1

37 And the first born1067 bore3205 a son,1121 and called7121 his name8034 Moab:4124 the same1931 is the father1 of the Moabites4124 to this day.3117

38 And the younger,6810 she also bore3205 a son,1121 and called7121 his name8034 Benammi:1151 the same1931 is the father1 of the children1121 of Ammon5983 to this day.3117

20

1 And Abraham85 journeyed5265 from there8033 toward the south5045 country,776 and dwelled3427 between996 Kadesh6946 and Shur,7793 and sojourned1481 in Gerar.1642

2 And Abraham85 said559 of Sarah8283 his wife,802 She is my sister:269 and Abimelech40 king4428 of Gerar1642 sent,7971 and took3947 Sarah.8283

3 But God430 came935 to Abimelech40 in a dream2472 by night,3915 and said559 to him, Behold,2009 you are but a dead4191 man, for the woman802 which834 you have taken;3947 for she is a man's1167 wife.1166

4 But Abimelech40 had not come7126 near7126 her: and he said,559 LORD,136 will you slay2026 also1571 a righteous6662 nation?1471

5 Said559 he not to me, She is my sister?269 and she, even1571 she herself said,559 He is my brother:251 in the integrity8537 of my heart3824 and innocence5356 of my hands3709 have I done6213 this.2063

6 And God430 said559 to him in a dream,2472 Yes,1571 I know3045 that you did6213 this2063 in the integrity8537 of your heart;3824 for I also1571 withheld2820 you from sinning2398 against me: therefore5921 3651 suffered5414 I you not to touch5060 her.

7 Now6258 therefore restore7725 the man376 his wife;802 for he is a prophet,5030 and he shall pray6419 for you, and you shall live:2421 and if518 you restore7725 her not, know3045 you that you shall surely3588 die,4191 you, and all3605 that are yours.

8 Therefore Abimelech40 rose7925 early7925 in the morning,1242 and called7121 all3605 his servants,5650 and told1696 all3605 these428 things1697 in their ears:241 and the men582 were sore3966 afraid.3372

9 Then Abimelech40 called7121 Abraham,85 and said559 to him, What4100 have you done6213 to us? and what4100 have I offended2398 you, that you have brought935 on5921 me and on5921 my kingdom4467 a great1419 sin?2401 you have done6213 deeds4639 to me that ought not to be done.6213

10 And Abimelech40 said559 to Abraham,85 What4100 saw7200 you, that you have done6213 this2088 thing?1697

11 And Abraham85 said,559 Because3588 I thought,559 Surely7535 the fear3374 of God430 is not in this2088 place;4725 and they will slay2026 me for my wife's802 sake.1697

12 And yet1571 indeed546 she is my sister;269 she is the daughter1323 of my father,1 but not the daughter1323 of my mother;517 and she became1961 my wife.802

13 And it came1961 to pass, when834 God430 caused me to wander8582 from my father's1 house,1004 that I said559 to her, This2088 is your kindness2617 which834 you shall show6213 to me; at413 every3605 place4725 where834 8033 we shall come,935 say559 of me, He is my brother.251

14 And Abimelech40 took3947 sheep,6629 and oxen,1241 and menservants,5650 and womenservants,8198 and gave5414 them to Abraham,85 and restored7725 him Sarah8283 his wife.802

15 And Abimelech40 said,559 Behold,2009 my land776 is before6440 you: dwell3427 where it pleases2896 5869 you.

16 And to Sarah8283 he said,559 Behold,2009 I have given5414 your brother251 a thousand505 pieces of silver:3701 behold,2009 he is to you a covering3682 of the eyes,5869 to all3605 that are with you, and with all3605 other: thus she was reproved.3198

17 So Abraham85 prayed6419 to God:430 and God430 healed7495 Abimelech,40 and his wife,802 and his maidservants;519 and they bore3205 children.

18 For the LORD3068 had fast closed6113 up all3605 the wombs7358 of the house1004 of Abimelech,40 because5921 1697 of Sarah8283 Abraham's85 wife.802

21

1 And the LORD3068 visited6485 Sarah8283 as he had said,559 and the LORD3068 did6213 to Sarah8283 as he had spoken.1696

2 For Sarah8283 conceived,2029 and bore3205 Abraham85 a son1121 in his old2208 age, at the set4150 time of which834 God430 had spoken1696 to him.

3 And Abraham85 called7121 the name8034 of his son1121 that was born3205 to him, whom834 Sarah8283 bore3205 to him, Isaac.3327

4 And Abraham85 circumcised4135 his son1121 Isaac3327 being eight8083 days3117 old,1121 as God430 had commanded6680 him.

5 And Abraham85 was an hundred3967 years8141 old,1121 when his son1121 Isaac3327 was born3205 to him.

6 And Sarah8283 said,559 God430 has made me to laugh,6712 so that all3605 that hear8085 will laugh6711 with me.

7 And she said,4448 Who4310 would have said4448 to Abraham,85 that Sarah8283 should have given children1121 suck?3243 for I have born3205 him a son1121 in his old2208 age.

8 And the child3206 grew,1431 and was weaned:1580 and Abraham85 made6213 a great1419 feast4960 the same day3117 that Isaac3327 was weaned.1580

9 And Sarah8283 saw7200 the son1121 of Hagar1904 the Egyptian,4713 which834 she had born3205 to Abraham,85 mocking.6711

10 Why she said559 to Abraham,85 Cast1644 out this2063 female slave519 and her son:1121 for the son1121 of this2063 female slave519 shall not be heir3423 with my son, even with Isaac.3327

11 And the thing1697 was very3966 grievous7489 in Abraham's85 sight5869 because2921 182 of his son.1121

12 And God430 said559 to Abraham,85 Let it not be grievous7489 in your sight5869 because5921 of the lad,5288 and because5921 of your female slave;519 in all3605 that Sarah8283 has said559 to you, listen8085 to her voice;6963 for in Isaac3327 shall your seed2233 be called.7121

13 And also of the son1121 of the female slave519 will I make7760 a nation,1471 because3588 he is your seed.2233

14 And Abraham85 rose7925 up early7925 in the morning,1242 and took3947 bread,3899 and a bottle2573 of water,4325 and gave5414 it to Hagar,1904 putting7760 it on5921 her shoulder,7926 and the child,3206 and sent7971 her away: and she departed,3212 and wandered8582 in the wilderness4057 of Beersheba.884

15 And the water4325 was spent3615 in the bottle,2573 and she cast7993 the child3206 under8478 one259 of the shrubs.7880

16 And she went,3212 and sat3427 her down over5048 against5048 him a good7368 way off, as it were a bow shot:2909 7198 for she said,559 Let me not see7200 the death4194 of the child.3206 And she sat3427 over5048 against5048 him, and lift5375 up her voice,6963 and wept.1058

17 And God430 heard8085 the voice6963 of the lad;5288 and the angel4397 of God430 called7121 to Hagar1904 out of heaven,8064 and said559 to her, What4100 ails you, Hagar?1904 fear3372 not; for God430 has heard8085 the voice6963 of the lad5288 where834 he is.

18 Arise,6965 lift5375 up the lad,5288 and hold2388 him in your hand;3027 for I will make7760 him a great1419 nation.1471

19 And God430 opened6491 her eyes,5869 and she saw7200 a well875 of water;4325 and she went,3212 and filled4390 the bottle2573 with water,4325 and gave the lad5288 drink.8248

20 And God430 was with the lad;5288 and he grew,1431 and dwelled3427 in the wilderness,4057 and became1961 an archer.7198

21 And he dwelled3427 in the wilderness4057 of Paran:6290 and his mother517 took3947 him a wife802 out of the land776 of Egypt.4714

22 And it came1961 to pass at that time,6256 that Abimelech40 and Phichol6369 the chief captain8269 of his host6635 spoke559 to Abraham,85 saying,559 God430 is with you in all3605 that you do:6213

23 Now6258 therefore swear7650 to me here2008 by God430 that you will not deal falsely8266 with me, nor with my son,5220 nor with my son's5220 son:5220 but according to the kindness2617 that I have done6213 to you, you shall do6213 to me, and to the land776 wherein834 you have sojourned.1481

24 And Abraham85 said,559 I will swear.7650

25 And Abraham85 reproved3198 Abimelech40 because5921 182 of a well875 of water,4325 which834 Abimelech's40 servants5650 had violently1497 taken1497 away.

26 And Abimelech40 said,559 I know3045 not who4310 has done6213 this2088 thing;1697 neither3808 did you tell5046 me, neither3808 yet1571 heard8085 I of it, but to day.3117

27 And Abraham85 took3947 sheep6629 and oxen,1241 and gave5414 them to Abimelech;40 and both8147 of them made3772 a covenant.1285

28 And Abraham85 set5324 seven7651 ewe3535 lambs3535 of the flock6629 by themselves.

29 And Abimelech40 said559 to Abraham,85 What4100 mean these seven7651 ewe3535 lambs3535 which834 you have set5324 by themselves?

30 And he said,559 For these seven7651 ewe3535 lambs3535 shall you take3947 of my hand,3027 that they may be a witness5713 to me, that I have dig2658 this well.875

31 Why5921 3651 he called7121 that place4725 Beersheba;884 because3588 there8033 they swore7650 both8147 of them.

32 Thus they made3772 a covenant1285 at Beersheba:884 then Abimelech40 rose6965 up, and Phichol6369 the chief captain8269 of his host,6635 and they returned7725 into413 the land776 of the Philistines.6430

33 And Abraham85 planted5193 a grove815 in Beersheba,884 and called7121 there8033 on the name8034 of the LORD,3068 the everlasting5769 God.410

34 And Abraham85 sojourned1481 in the Philistines' 6430land776 many7227 days.3117

22

1 And it came1961 to pass after310 these428 things,1697 that God430 did tempt5254 Abraham,85 and said559 to him, Abraham:85 and he said,559 Behold,2009 here I am.

2 And he said,559 Take3947 now4994 your son,1121 your only3173 son Isaac,3327 whom834 you love,157 and get3212 you into413 the land776 of Moriah;4179 and offer5927 him there8033 for a burnt5930 offering on one259 of the mountains2022 which834 I will tell559 you of.

3 And Abraham85 rose7925 up early7925 in the morning,1242 and saddled2280 his ass,2543 and took3947 two8147 of his young5288 men with him, and Isaac3327 his son,1121 and split1234 the wood6086 for the burnt5930 offering, and rose6965 up, and went3212 to the place4725 of which God430 had told559 him.

4 Then on the third7992 day3117 Abraham85 lifted5375 up his eyes,5869 and saw7200 the place4725 afar7350 off.

5 And Abraham85 said559 to his young5288 men, Abide3427 you here6311 with the ass;2543 and I and the lad5288 will go3212 yonder5704 3541 and worship,7812 and come7725 again7725 to you.

6 And Abraham85 took3947 the wood6086 of the burnt5930 offering, and laid7760 it on Isaac3327 his son;1121 and he took3947 the fire784 in his hand,3027 and a knife;3979 and they went3212 both8147 of them together.3162

7 And Isaac3327 spoke559 to Abraham85 his father,1 and said,559 My father:1 and he said,559 Here2009 am I, my son.1121 And he said,559 Behold2009 the fire784 and the wood:6086 but where346 is the lamb7716 for a burnt5930 offering?

8 And Abraham85 said,559 My son,1121 God430 will provide7200 himself a lamb7716 for a burnt5930 offering: so they went3212 both8147 of them together.3162

9 And they came935 to the place4725 which834 God430 had told559 him of; and Abraham85 built1129 an altar4196 there,8033 and laid the wood6086 in order,6186 and bound6123 Isaac3327 his son,1121 and laid7760 him on5921 the altar4196 on the wood.6086

10 And Abraham85 stretched7971 forth his hand,3027 and took3947 the knife3979 to slay7819 his son.1121

11 And the angel4397 of the LORD3068 called7121 to him out of heaven,8064 and said,559 Abraham,85 Abraham:85 and he said,559 Here2009 am I.

12 And he said,559 Lay7971 not your hand3027 on the lad,5288 neither408 do6213 you any3972 thing to him: for now6258 I know3045 that you fear3373 God,430 seeing you have not withheld2820 your son,1121 your only3162 son from me.

13 And Abraham85 lifted5375 up his eyes,5869 and looked,7200 and behold2009 behind310 him a ram352 caught270 in a thicket5442 by his horns:7161 and Abraham85 went3212 and took3947 the ram,352 and offered5927 him up for a burnt5930 offering in the stead8478 of his son.1121

14 And Abraham85 called7121 the name8034 of that place4725 Jehovahjireh:3070 as it is said559 to this day,3117 In the mount2022 of the LORD3068 it shall be seen.7200

15 And the angel4397 of the LORD3068 called7121 to Abraham85 out of heaven8064 the second8145 time,6256

16 And said,559 By myself have I sworn,7650 said5002 the LORD,3068 for because3282 834 you have done6213 this2088 thing,1697 and have not withheld2820 your son,1121 your only3173 son:

17 That in blessing1288 I will bless1288 you, and in multiplying7235 I will multiply7235 your seed2233 as the stars3556 of the heaven,8064 and as the sand2344 which834 is on the sea3220 shore;8193 and your seed2233 shall possess3423 the gate8179 of his enemies;341

18 And in your seed2233 shall all3605 the nations1471 of the earth776 be blessed;1288 because6118 834 you have obeyed8085 my voice.6963

19 So Abraham85 returned7725 to his young5288 men, and they rose6965 up and went3212 together3162 to Beersheba;884 and Abraham85 dwelled3427 at Beersheba.884

20 And it came1961 to pass after310 these428 things,1697 that it was told5046 Abraham,85 saying,559 Behold,2009 Milcah,4435 she has also born3205 children1121 to your brother251 Nahor;5152

21 Huz5780 his firstborn,1060 and Buz938 his brother,251 and Kemuel7055 the father1 of Aram,758

22 And Chesed,3777 and Hazo,2375 and Pildash,6394 and Jidlaph,3044 and Bethuel.1328

23 And Bethuel1328 begat3205 Rebekah:7259 these428 eight8083 Milcah4435 did bear3205 to Nahor,5152 Abraham's85 brother.251

24 And his concubine,6370 whose name8034 was Reumah,7208 she bore3205 also Tebah,2875 and Gaham,1514 and Thahash,8477 and Maachah.4601

23

1 And Sarah8283 was an hundred3967 and seven7651 and twenty6242 years8141 old:2416 these were the years8141 of the life2416 of Sarah.8283

2 And Sarah8283 died4191 in Kirjatharba;7153 the same1931 is Hebron2275 in the land776 of Canaan:3667 and Abraham85 came935 to mourn5594 for Sarah,8283 and to weep1058 for her.

3 And Abraham85 stood6965 up from before5921 6440 his dead,4191 and spoke1696 to the sons1121 of Heth,2845 saying,559

4 I am a stranger1616 and a sojourner8453 with you: give5414 me a possession272 of a burial plot6913 with you, that I may bury6912 my dead4191 out of my sight.6440

5 And the children1121 of Heth2845 answered6030 Abraham,85 saying559 to him,

6 Hear8085 us, my lord:113 you are a mighty430 prince5387 among8432 us: in the choice4005 of our sepulchers6913 bury6912 your dead;4191 none376 3808 of us shall withhold3607 from you his sepulcher,6913 but that you may bury6912 your dead.4191

7 And Abraham85 stood6965 up, and bowed7812 himself to the people5971 of the land,776 even to the children1121 of Heth.2845

8 And he communed1696 with them, saying,559 If it be your mind5315 that I should bury6912 my dead4191 out of my sight;6440 hear8085 me, and entreat6293 for me to Ephron6085 the son1121 of Zohar,6714

9 That he may give5414 me the cave4631 of Machpelah,4375 which834 he has, which834 is in the end7097 of his field;7704 for as much money3701 as it is worth4392 he shall give5414 it me for a possession272 of a burial plot6913 among8432 you.

10 And Ephron6085 dwelled3427 among8432 the children1121 of Heth:2845 and Ephron6085 the Hittite2850 answered6030 Abraham85 in the audience241 of the children1121 of Heth,2845 even of all3605 that went935 in at the gate8179 of his city,5892 saying,559

11 No,3808 my lord,113 hear8085 me: the field7704 give5414 I you, and the cave4631 that is therein, I give5414 it you; in the presence5869 of the sons1121 of my people5971 give5414 I it you: bury6912 your dead.4191

12 And Abraham85 bowed7812 down7812 himself before6440 the people5971 of the land.776

13 And he spoke1696 to Ephron6085 in the audience241 of the people5971 of the land,776 saying,559 But if you will give5414 it, I pray3863 you, hear8085 me: I will give5414 you money3701 for the field;7704 take3947 it of me, and I will bury6912 my dead4191 there.8033

14 And Ephron6085 answered6030 Abraham,85 saying559 to him,

15 My lord,113 listen8085 to me: the land776 is worth four702 hundred3967 shekels8255 of silver;3701 what4100 is that between996 me and you? bury6912 therefore your dead.4191

16 And Abraham85 listened8085 to Ephron;6085 and Abraham85 weighed8254 to Ephron6085 the silver,3701 which834 he had named1696 in the audience241 of the sons1121 of Heth,2845 four702 hundred3967 shekels8255 of silver,3701 current5674 money with the merchant.

17 And the field7704 of Ephron 6085which834 was in Machpelah,4375 which834 was before6440 Mamre,4471 the field,7704 and the cave4631 which834 was therein, and all the trees6086 that were in the field,7704 that were in all the borders1366 round5439 about, were made sure6965

18 To Abraham85 for a possession4736 in the presence5869 of the children1121 of Heth,2845 before all3605 that went935 in at the gate8179 of his city.5892

19 And after310 this,3651 Abraham85 buried6912 Sarah8283 his wife802 in the cave4631 of the field7704 of Machpelah4375 before5921 6440 Mamre:4471 the same1931 is Hebron2275 in the land776 of Canaan.3667

20 And the field,7704 and the cave4631 that is therein, were made sure6965 to Abraham85 for a possession272 of a burial plot6913 by the sons1121 of Heth.2845

24

1 And Abraham85 was old,2204 and well stricken935 in age:3117 and the LORD3068 had blessed1288 Abraham85 in all3605 things.

2 And Abraham85 said559 to his oldest2205 servant5650 of his house,1004 that ruled4910 over all3605 that he had, Put,7760 I pray4994 you, your hand3027 under8478 my thigh:3409

3 And I will make you swear7650 by the LORD,3068 the God430 of heaven,8064 and the God430 of the earth,776 that you shall not take3947 a wife802 to my son1121 of the daughters1323 of the Canaanites,3669 among7130 whom834 I dwell:3427

4 But you shall go3212 to my country,776 and to my kindred,4138 and take3947 a wife802 to my son1121 Isaac.3327

5 And the servant5650 said559 to him, Peradventure194 the woman802 will not be willing14 to follow3212 310 me to this2063 land:776 must I needs7725 bring7725 your son1121 again7725 to the land776 from from where834 8033 you came?3318

6 And Abraham85 said559 to him, Beware8104 you that you bring7725 not my son1121 thither8033 again.7725

7 The LORD3068 God430 of heaven,8064 which834 took3947 me from my father's1 house,1004 and from the land776 of my kindred,4138 and which834 spoke1696 to me, and that swore7650 to me, saying,559 To your seed2233 will I give5414 this2063 land;776 he shall send7971 his angel4397 before6440 you, and you shall take3947 a wife802 to my son1121 from there.8033

8 And if the woman802 will not be willing14 to follow3212 310 you, then you shall be clear5352 from this my oath:7621 only7535 bring7725 not my son1121 thither again.7725

9 And the servant5650 put7760 his hand3027 under8478 the thigh3409 of Abraham85 his master,113 and swore7650 to him concerning5921 that matter.1697

10 And the servant5650 took3947 ten6235 camels1581 of the camels1581 of his master,113 and departed;3212 for all3605 the goods2898 of his master113 were in his hand:3027 and he arose,6965 and went3212 to Mesopotamia,763 to the city5892 of Nahor.5152

11 And he made his camels1581 to kneel1288 down1288 without2351 the city5892 by a well875 of water4325 at the time6256 of the evening,6153 even the time6256 that women go3318 out to draw7579 water.

12 And he said 559O LORD3068 God430 of my master113 Abraham,85 I pray4994 you, send7136 me good speed7136 this day,3117 and show6213 kindness2617 to my master113 Abraham.85

13 Behold,2009 I stand5324 here by the well5869 of water;4325 and the daughters1323 of the men582 of the city5892 come3318 out to draw7579 water:4325

14 And let it come1961 to pass, that the damsel5291 to whom834 I shall say,559 Let5186 down5186 your pitcher,3537 I pray4994 you, that I may drink;8354 and she shall say,559 Drink,8354 and I will give your camels1581 drink8248 also:1571 let the same be she that you have appointed3198 for your servant5650 Isaac;3327 and thereby shall I know3045 that you have showed6213 kindness2617 to my master.113

15 And it came1961 to pass, before2962 he had done3615 speaking,1696 that, behold,2009 Rebekah7259 came3318 out, who834 was born3205 to Bethuel,1328 son1121 of Milcah,4435 the wife802 of Nahor,5152 Abraham's85 brother,251 with her pitcher3537 on her shoulder.7926

16 And the damsel5291 was very3966 fair2896 to look4758 on, a virgin,1330 neither3808 had any man376 known3045 her: and she went3381 down3381 to the well,5869 and filled4390 her pitcher,3537 and came5927 up.

17 And the servant5650 ran7323 to meet7125 her, and said,559 Let me, I pray4994 you, drink1572 a little4592 water4325 of your pitcher.3537

18 And she said,559 Drink,8354 my lord:113 and she hurried,4116 and let3381 down3381 her pitcher3537 on her hand,3027 and gave him drink.8248

19 And when she had done3615 giving him drink,8248 she said,559 I will draw7579 water for your camels1581 also,1571 until5704 515 they have done3615 drinking.8354

20 And she hurried,4116 and emptied6168 her pitcher3537 into413 the trough,8268 and ran7323 again5750 to the well875 to draw7579 water, and drew7579 for all3605 his camels.1581

21 And the man376 wondering7583 at her held2790 his peace,2790 to wit3045 whether the LORD3068 had made6743 his journey1870 prosperous6743 or not.

22 And it came1961 to pass, as the camels1581 had done3615 drinking,8354 that the man376 took3947 a golden2091 earring5141 of half1235 a shekel1235 weight,4948 and two8147 bracelets6781 for her hands3027 of ten6235 shekels weight4948 of gold;2091

23 And said,559 Whose4310 daughter1323 are you? tell5046 me, I pray4994 you: is there room4725 in your father's1 house1004 for us to lodge3885 in?

24 And she said559 to him, I am the daughter1323 of Bethuel1328 the son1121 of Milcah,4435 which834 she bore3205 to Nahor.5152

25 She said559 moreover to him, We have both1571 straw8401 and provender4554 enough,7227 and room4725 to lodge3885 in.

26 And the man376 bowed6915 down6915 his head, and worshipped7812 the LORD.3068

27 And he said,559 Blessed1288 be the LORD3068 God430 of my master113 Abraham,85 who834 has not left5800 destitute5800 my master113 of his mercy2617 and his truth:571 I being in the way,1870 the LORD3068 led5148 me to the house1004 of my master's113 brothers.251

28 And the damsel5291 ran,7323 and told5046 them of her mother's517 house1004 these428 things.1697

29 And Rebekah7259 had a brother,251 and his name8034 was Laban:3837 and Laban3837 ran7323 out to the man,376 to the well.5869

30 And it came1961 to pass, when he saw7200 the earring5141 and bracelets6781 on his sister's269 hands,3027 and when he heard8085 the words1697 of Rebekah7259 his sister,269 saying,559 Thus3541 spoke1696 the man376 to me; that he came935 to the man;376 and, behold,2009 he stood5975 by the camels1581 at5921 the well.5869

31 And he said,559 Come935 in, you blessed1288 of the LORD;3068 why4100 stand5975 you without?2351 for I have prepared6437 the house,1004 and room4725 for the camels.1581

32 And the man376 came935 into the house:1004 and he ungirded6605 his camels,1581 and gave5414 straw8401 and provender4554 for the camels,1581 and water4325 to wash7364 his feet,7272 and the men's582 feet7272 that were with him.

33 And there was set7760 meat before6440 him to eat:398 but he said,559 I will not eat,398 until5704 515 I have told1696 my errand.1697 And he said,559 Speak1696 on.

34 And he said,559 I am Abraham's85 servant.5650

35 And the LORD3068 has blessed1288 my master113 greatly;3966 and he is become1431 great:1431 and he has given5414 him flocks,6629 and herds,1241 and silver,3701 and gold,2091 and menservants,5650 and maidservants,8198 and camels,1581 and asses.2543

36 And Sarah8283 my master's113 wife802 bore3205 a son1121 to my master113 when310 she was old:2209 and to him has he given5414 all3605 that he has.

37 And my master113 made me swear,7650 saying,559 You shall not take3947 a wife802 to my son1121 of the daughters1323 of the Canaanites,3669 in whose834 land776 I dwell:3427

38 But you shall go3212 to my father's1 house,1004 and to my kindred,4940 and take3947 a wife802 to my son.1121

39 And I said559 to my master,113 Peradventure194 the woman802 will not follow3212 310 me.

40 And he said559 to me, The LORD,3068 before6440 whom834 I walk,1980 will send7971 his angel4397 with you, and prosper6743 your way;1870 and you shall take3947 a wife802 for my son1121 of my kindred,4940 and of my father's1 house:1004

41 Then227 shall you be clear5352 from this my oath,423 when you come935 to my kindred;4940 and if518 they give5414 not you one, you shall be clear5355 from my oath.423

42 And I came935 this day3117 to the well,5869 and said,559 O LORD3068 God430 of my master113 Abraham,85 if518 now4994 you do prosper6743 my way1870 which I go:1980

43 Behold,2009 I stand5324 by the well5869 of water;4325 and it shall come1961 to pass, that when the virgin5959 comes3318 forth3318 to draw7579 water, and I say559 to her, Give me, I pray4994 you, a little4592 water4325 of your pitcher3537 to drink;8248

44 And she say559 to me, Both drink8354 you, and I will also1571 draw7579 for your camels:1581 let the same be the woman802 whom834 the LORD3068 has appointed3198 out for my master's113 son.1121

45 And before2962 I had done3615 speaking1696 in my heart,3820 behold,2009 Rebekah7259 came3318 forth3318 with her pitcher3537 on5921 her shoulder;7926 and she went3381 down3381 to the well,5869 and drew7579 water: and I said559 to her, Let me drink,8248 I pray4994 you.

46 And she made haste,4116 and let3381 down3381 her pitcher3537 from her shoulder, and said,559 Drink,8354 and I will give your camels1581 drink8248 also:1571 so I drank,8354 and she made the camels1581 drink8354 also.1571

47 And I asked7592 her, and said,559 Whose4310 daughter1323 are you? And she said,559 the daughter1323 of Bethuel,1328 Nahor's5152 son,1121 whom834 Milcah4435 bore3205 to him: and I put7760 the earring5141 on her face,639 and the bracelets6781 on her hands.3027

48 And I bowed6915 down6915 my head, and worshipped7812 the LORD,3068 and blessed1288 the LORD3068 God430 of my master113 Abraham,85 which834 had led5148 me in the right571 way1870 to take3947 my master's113 brother's251 daughter1323 to his son.1121

49 And now6258 if518 you will deal6213 kindly2617 and truly571 with my master,113 tell5046 me: and if518 not, tell5046 me; that I may turn6437 to the right3225 hand,3225 or176 to the left.8040

50 Then Laban3837 and Bethuel1328 answered6030 and said,559 The thing1697 proceeds3318 from the LORD:3068 we cannot3808 3201 speak1696 to you bad7451 or176 good.2896

51 Behold,2009 Rebekah7259 is before6440 you, take3947 her, and go,3212 and let her be your master's113 son's1121 wife,802 as the LORD3068 has spoken.1696

52 And it came1961 to pass, that, when Abraham's85 servant5650 heard8085 their words,1697 he worshipped7812 the LORD,3068 bowing himself to the earth.776

53 And the servant5650 brought3318 forth3318 jewels3627 of silver,3701 and jewels3627 of gold,2091 and raiment,899 and gave5414 them to Rebekah:7259 he gave5414 also to her brother251 and to her mother517 precious4030 things.1697

54 And they did eat398 and drink,8354 he and the men582 that were with him, and tarried3885 all3885 night; and they rose6965 up in the morning,1242 and he said,559 Send7971 me away to my master.113

55 And her brother251 and her mother517 said,559 Let the damsel5291 abide3427 with us a few days,3117 at176 the least176 ten;6218 after310 that she shall go.3212

56 And he said559 to them, Hinder309 me not, seeing the LORD3068 has prospered6743 my way;1870 send7971 me away that I may go3212 to my master.113

57 And they said,559 We will call7121 the damsel,5291 and inquire7592 at her mouth.6310

58 And they called7121 Rebekah,7259 and said559 to her, Will you go3212 with this2088 man?376 And she said,559 I will go.3212

59 And they sent7971 away Rebekah7259 their sister,269 and her nurse,3243 and Abraham's85 servant,5650 and his men.582

60 And they blessed1288 Rebekah,7259 and said559 to her, You are our sister,269 be you the mother of thousands505 of millions,7233 and let your seed2233 possess3423 the gate8179 of those which hate8130 them.

61 And Rebekah7259 arose,6965 and her damsels,5291 and they rode7392 on the camels,1581 and followed3212 310 the man:376 and the servant5650 took3947 Rebekah,7259 and went3212 his way.3212

62 And Isaac3327 came935 from the way935 of the well875 Lahairoi;883 for he dwelled3427 in the south5045 country.776

63 And Isaac3327 went3318 out to meditate in the field7704 at the eventide:6256 6153 and he lifted5375 up his eyes,5869 and saw,7200 and, behold,2009 the camels1581 were coming.935

64 And Rebekah7259 lifted5375 up her eyes,5869 and when she saw7200 Isaac,3327 she lighted5307 off5921 the camel.1581

65 For she had said559 to the servant,5650 What4310 man376 is this1976 that walks1980 in the field7704 to meet7125 us? And the servant5650 had said,559 It is my master:113 therefore she took3947 a veil,6809 and covered3680 herself.

66 And the servant5650 told5608 Isaac3327 all3605 things1697 that he had done.6213

67 And Isaac3327 brought935 her into his mother517 Sarah's8283 tent,168 and took3947 Rebekah,7259 and she became1961 his wife;802 and he loved157 her: and Isaac3327 was comforted5162 after310 his mother's517 death.

25

1 Then again3254 Abraham85 took3947 a wife,802 and her name8034 was Keturah.6989

2 And she bore3205 him Zimran,2175 and Jokshan,3370 and Medan,4091 and Midian,4080 and Ishbak,3435 and Shuah.7744

3 And Jokshan3370 begat3205 Sheba,7614 and Dedan.1719 And the sons1121 of Dedan1719 were Asshurim,805 and Letushim,3912 and Leummim.3817

4 And the sons1121 of Midian;4080 Ephah,5891 and Epher,6081 and Hanoch,2585 and Abidah,28 and Eldaah.420 All3605 these428 were the children1121 of Keturah.6989

5 And Abraham85 gave5414 all3605 that he had to Isaac.3327

6 But to the sons1121 of the concubines,6370 which Abraham85 had, Abraham85 gave5414 gifts,4979 and sent7971 them away from Isaac3327 his son,1121 while he yet lived,2416 eastward,6924 to the east6924 country.776

7 And these428 are the days3117 of the years8141 of Abraham's85 life2416 which834 he lived,2425 an hundred3967 three score7657 and fifteen7657 2568 years.8141

8 Then Abraham85 gave up the ghost,1478 and died4191 in a good2896 old7872 age,7872 an old2205 man, and full7649 of years; and was gathered622 to his people.5971

9 And his sons1121 Isaac3327 and Ishmael3458 buried6912 him in the cave4631 of Machpelah,4375 in the field7704 of Ephron6085 the son1121 of Zohar6714 the Hittite,2850 which834 is before5921 6440 Mamre;4471

10 The field7704 which Abraham85 purchased7069 of the sons1121 of Heth:2845 there8033 was Abraham85 buried,6912 and Sarah8283 his wife.802

11 And it came1961 to pass after310 the death4194 of Abraham,85 that God430 blessed1288 his son1121 Isaac;3327 and Isaac3327 dwelled3427 by the well883 Lahairoi.883

12 Now these428 are the generations8435 of Ishmael,3458 Abraham's85 son,1121 whom834 Hagar1904 the Egyptian,4713 Sarah's8283 handmaid,8198 bore3205 to Abraham:85

13 And these428 are the names8034 of the sons1121 of Ishmael,3458 by their names,8034 according to their generations:8435 the firstborn1060 of Ishmael,3458 Nebajoth;5032 and Kedar,6938 and Adbeel,110 and Mibsam,4017

14 And Mishma,4927 and Dumah,1746 and Massa,4854

15 Hadar,1924 and Tema,8485 Jetur,3195 Naphish,5305 and Kedemah:6929

16 These428 are the sons1121 of Ishmael,3458 and these428 are their names,8034 by their towns,2691 and by their castles;2918 twelve8147 6240 princes5387 according to their nations.523

17 And these428 are the years8141 of the life2416 of Ishmael,3458 an hundred3967 and thirty7970 and seven7651 years:8141 and he gave up the ghost1478 and died;4191 and was gathered622 to his people.5971

18 And they dwelled7931 from Havilah2341 to Shur,7793 that is before6440 Egypt,4714 as you go935 toward Assyria:804 and he died5307 in the presence6440 of all3605 his brothers.251

19 And these428 are the generations8435 of Isaac,3327 Abraham's85 son:1121 Abraham85 begat3205 Isaac:3327

20 And Isaac3327 was forty705 years8141 old1121 when he took3947 Rebekah7259 to wife,802 the daughter1323 of Bethuel1328 the Syrian761 of Padanaram,6307 the sister269 to Laban3837 the Syrian.761

21 And Isaac3327 entreated6279 the LORD3068 for his wife,802 because3588 she was barren:6135 and the LORD3068 was entreated6279 of him, and Rebekah7259 his wife802 conceived.2029

22 And the children1121 struggled7533 together within7130 her; and she said,559 If518 it be so,3651 why4100 am I thus?2088 And she went3212 to inquire1875 of the LORD.3068

23 And the LORD3068 said559 to her, Two8147 nations1471 are in your womb,990 and two8147 manner of people3816 shall be separated6504 from your bowels;4578 and the one people3816 shall be stronger553 than the other people;3816 and the elder7227 shall serve5647 the younger.6810

24 And when her days3117 to be delivered3205 were fulfilled,4390 behold,2009 there were twins8380 in her womb.990

25 And the first7223 came3318 out red,132 all3605 over like an hairy8181 garment;155 and they called7121 his name8034 Esau.6215

26 And after310 that came3318 his brother251 out, and his hand3027 took hold270 on Esau's6215 heel;6119 and his name8034 was called7121 Jacob:3290 and Isaac3327 was three score8346 years8141 old1121 when she bore3205 them.

27 And the boys5288 grew:1431 and Esau6215 was a cunning3045 hunter,6718 a man376 of the field;7704 and Jacob3290 was a plain8535 man,376 dwelling3427 in tents.168

28 And Isaac3327 loved157 Esau,6215 because3588 he did eat6310 of his venison:6718 but Rebekah7259 loved157 Jacob.3290

29 And Jacob3290 sod2102 pottage:5138 and Esau6215 came935 from the field,7704 and he was faint:5889

30 And Esau6215 said559 to Jacob,3290 Feed3938 me, I pray4994 you, with that same2088 red122 pottage; for I am faint:5889 therefore5921 3651 was his name8034 called7121 Edom.123

31 And Jacob3290 said,559 Sell4376 me this day3117 your birthright.1062

32 And Esau6215 said,559 Behold,2009 I am at the point1980 to die:4191 and what4100 profit shall this2088 birthright1062 do to me?

33 And Jacob3290 said,559 Swear7650 to me this day;3117 and he swore7650 to him: and he sold4376 his birthright1062 to Jacob.3290

34 Then Jacob3290 gave5414 Esau6215 bread3899 and pottage5138 of lentils;5742 and he did eat398 and drink,8354 and rose6965 up, and went3212 his way:3212 thus Esau6215 despised959 his birthright.1062

26

1 And there was a famine7458 in the land,776 beside905 the first7223 famine7458 that was in the days3117 of Abraham.85 And Isaac3327 went3212 to Abimelech40 king4428 of the Philistines6430 to Gerar.1642

2 And the LORD3068 appeared7200 to him, and said,559 Go3381 not down3381 into Egypt;4714 dwell7931 in the land776 which834 I shall tell559 you of:

3 Sojourn1481 in this2063 land,776 and I will be with you, and will bless1288 you; for to you, and to your seed,2233 I will give5414 all3605 these411 countries,776 and I will perform6965 the oath7621 which834 I swore7650 to Abraham85 your father;1

4 And I will make your seed2233 to multiply7235 as the stars3556 of heaven,8064 and will give5414 to your seed2233 all3605 these411 countries;776 and in your seed2233 shall all3605 the nations1471 of the earth776 be blessed;1288

5 Because6118 that Abraham85 obeyed8085 my voice,6963 and kept8104 my charge,4931 my commandments,4687 my statutes,2708 and my laws.8451

6 And Isaac3327 dwelled3427 in Gerar:1642

7 And the men582 of the place4725 asked7592 him of his wife;802 and he said,559 She is my sister:269 for he feared3372 to say,559 She is my wife;802 lest,6435 said559 he, the men582 of the place4725 should kill2026 me for Rebekah;7259 because3588 she was fair2896 to look4758 on.

8 And it came1961 to pass, when3588 he had been there8033 a long748 time,3117 that Abimelech40 king4428 of the Philistines6430 looked8259 out at1157 a window,2474 and saw,7200 and, behold,2009 Isaac3327 was sporting6711 with Rebekah7259 his wife.802

9 And Abimelech40 called7121 Isaac,3327 and said,559 Behold,2009 of a surety389 she is your wife;802 and how349 said559 you, She is my sister?269 And Isaac3327 said559 to him, Because3588 I said,559 Lest6435 I die4191 for her.

10 And Abimelech40 said,559 What4100 is this2063 you have done6213 to us? one259 of the people5971 might lightly4592 have lien7901 with your wife,802 and you should have brought935 guiltiness817 on us.

11 And Abimelech40 charged6680 all3605 his people,5971 saying,559 He that touches5060 this2088 man376 or his wife802 shall surely be put to death.4191

12 Then Isaac3327 sowed2232 in that land,776 and received4672 in the same1931 year8141 an hundred times:3967 8180 and the LORD3068 blessed1288 him.

13 And the man376 waxed great,1431 and went3212 forward,1980 and grew1432 until5704 he became1431 very3966 great:1431

14 For he had possession4735 of flocks,6629 and possession4735 of herds,1241 and great7227 store of servants:5657 and the Philistines6430 envied7065 him.

15 For all3605 the wells875 which834 his father's1 servants5650 had dig2658 in the days3117 of Abraham85 his father,1 the Philistines6430 had stopped5640 them, and filled4390 them with earth.6083

16 And Abimelech40 said559 to Isaac,3327 Go3212 from us; for you are much3966 mightier6105 than we.

17 And Isaac3327 departed3212 there,8033 and pitched2583 his tent in the valley5158 of Gerar,1642 and dwelled3427 there.8033

18 And Isaac3327 dig2658 again7725 the wells875 of water,4325 which834 they had dig2658 in the days3117 of Abraham85 his father;1 for the Philistines6430 had stopped5640 them after310 the death4194 of Abraham:85 and he called7121 their names8034 after the names8034 by which834 his father1 had called7121 them.

19 And Isaac's3327 servants5650 dig2658 in the valley,5158 and found4672 there8033 a well875 of springing2416 water.4325

20 And the herdsmen7462 of Gerar1642 did strive7378 with Isaac's3327 herdsmen,7462 saying,559 The water4325 is ours: and he called7121 the name8034 of the well875 Esek;6230 because3588 they strove6229 with him.

21 And they dig2658 another312 well,875 and strove7378 for that also:1571 and he called7121 the name8034 of it Sitnah.7856

22 And he removed6275 from there,8033 and dig2658 another312 well;875 and for that they strove7378 not: and he called7121 the name8034 of it Rehoboth;7344 and he said,559 For now6258 the LORD3068 has made room7337 for us, and we shall be fruitful6509 in the land.776

23 And he went5927 up from there8033 to Beersheba.884

24 And the LORD3068 appeared7200 to him the same1931 night,3915 and said,559 I am the God430 of Abraham85 your father:1 fear3372 not, for I am with you, and will bless1288 you, and multiply7235 your seed2233 for my servant5650 Abraham's85 sake.5668

25 And he built1129 an altar4196 there,8033 and called7121 on the name8034 of the LORD,3068 and pitched5186 his tent168 there:8033 and there8033 Isaac's3327 servants5650 dig3738 a well.875

26 Then Abimelech40 went1980 to him from Gerar,1642 and Ahuzzath276 one of his friends,4828 and Phichol6369 the chief captain8269 of his army.6635

27 And Isaac3327 said559 to them, Why4069 come935 you to me, seeing you hate8130 me, and have sent7971 me away from you?

28 And they said,559 We saw7200 certainly that the LORD3068 was with you: and we said,559 Let there be now4994 an oath423 between996 us, even between996 us and you, and let us make3772 a covenant1285 with you;

29 That you will do6213 us no3808 hurt,7451 as we have not touched5060 you, and as we have done6213 to you nothing7535 but good,2896 and have sent7971 you away in peace:7965 you are now6258 the blessed1288 of the LORD.3068

30 And he made6213 them a feast,4960 and they did eat398 and drink.8354

31 And they rose7925 up betimes7925 in the morning,1242 and swore7650 one376 to another:251 and Isaac3327 sent7971 them away, and they departed3212 from him in peace.7965

32 And it came1961 to pass the same day,3117 that Isaac's3327 servants5650 came,935 and told5608 him concerning5921 182 the well875 which834 they had dig,2658 and said559 to him, We have found4672 water.4325

33 And he called7121 it Shebah:7656 therefore5921 3651 the name8034 of the city5892 is Beersheba884 to this2088 day.3117

34 And Esau6215 was forty705 years8141 old1121 when he took3947 to wife802 Judith3067 the daughter1323 of Beeri882 the Hittite,2850 and Bashemath1315 the daughter1323 of Elon356 the Hittite:2850

35 Which were a grief4786 of mind7307 to Isaac3327 and to Rebekah.7259

27

1 And it came1961 to pass, that when Isaac3327 was old,2204 and his eyes5869 were dim,3543 so that he could not see,7200 he called7121 Esau6215 his oldest1419 son,1121 and said559 to him, My son:1121 and he said559 to him, Behold,2009 here am I.

2 And he said,559 Behold2009 now,4994 I am old,2204 I know3045 not the day3117 of my death:4194

3 Now therefore take,5375 I pray4994 you, your weapons,3627 your quiver8522 and your bow,7198 and go3318 out to the field,7704 and take6679 me some venison;6720

4 And make6213 me savoury4303 meat, such as I love,157 and bring935 it to me, that I may eat;398 that my soul5315 may bless1288 you before2962 I die.4191

5 And Rebekah7259 heard8085 when Isaac3327 spoke1696 to Esau6215 his son.1121 And Esau6215 went3212 to the field7704 to hunt6679 for venison,6718 and to bring935 it.

6 And Rebekah7259 spoke559 to Jacob3290 her son,1121 saying,559 Behold,2009 I heard8085 your father1 speak1696 to Esau6215 your brother,251 saying,559

7 Bring935 me venison,6718 and make6213 me savoury4303 meat, that I may eat,398 and bless1288 you before6440 the LORD3068 before6440 my death.4194

8 Now therefore, my son,1121 obey8085 my voice6963 according to that which834 I command6680 you.

9 Go3212 now to the flock,6629 and fetch3947 me from there8033 two8147 good2896 kids1423 of the goats;5795 and I will make6213 them savoury4303 meat for your father,1 such as he loves:157

10 And you shall bring935 it to your father,1 that he may eat,398 and that he may bless1288 you before6440 his death.4194

11 And Jacob3290 said559 to Rebekah7259 his mother,517 Behold,2005 Esau6215 my brother251 is a hairy8163 man,376 and I am a smooth2509 man:376

12 My father1 peradventure194 will feel4959 me, and I shall seem1961 5869 to him as a deceiver;8591 and I shall bring935 a curse7045 on me, and not a blessing.1293

13 And his mother517 said559 to him, On me be your curse,7045 my son:1121 only389 obey8085 my voice,6963 and go3212 fetch3947 me them.

14 And he went,3212 and fetched,3947 and brought935 them to his mother:517 and his mother517 made6213 savoury4303 meat, such as his father1 loved.157

15 And Rebekah7259 took3947 goodly2530 raiment899 of her oldest1419 son1121 Esau,6215 which were with her in the house,1004 and put3847 them on Jacob3290 her younger6996 son:1121

16 And she put3847 the skins5785 of the kids1423 of the goats5795 on his hands,3027 and on the smooth2513 of his neck:6677

17 And she gave5414 the savoury4303 meat and the bread,3899 which834 she had prepared,6213 into the hand3027 of her son1121 Jacob.3290

18 And he came935 to his father,1 and said,559 My father:1 and he said,559 Here2009 am I; who4310 are you, my son?1121

19 And Jacob3290 said559 to his father,1 I am Esau6215 your first born;1060 I have done6213 according as you bade1696 me: arise,6965 I pray4994 you, sit3427 and eat398 of my venison,6718 that your soul5315 may bless1288 me.

20 And Isaac3327 said559 to his son,1121 How4100 is it that you have found4672 it so quickly,4116 my son?1121 And he said,559 Because3588 the LORD3068 your God430 brought7136 it to me.

21 And Isaac3327 said559 to Jacob,3290 Come5066 near,5066 I pray4994 you, that I may feel4184 you, my son,1121 whether you be my very2088 son1121 Esau6215 or not.

22 And Jacob3290 went5066 near5066 to Isaac3327 his father;1 and he felt4959 him, and said,559 The voice6963 is Jacob's3290 voice,6963 but the hands3027 are the hands3027 of Esau.6215

23 And he discerned5234 him not, because3588 his hands3027 were hairy,8163 as his brother251 Esau's6215 hands:3027 so he blessed1288 him.

24 And he said,559 Are you my very2088 son1121 Esau?6215 And he said,559 I am.

25 And he said,559 Bring5066 it near5066 to me, and I will eat398 of my son's1121 venison,6718 that my soul5315 may bless1288 you. And he brought5066 it near5066 to him, and he did eat:398 and he brought935 him wine 3196and he drank.8354

26 And his father1 Isaac3327 said559 to him, Come5066 near5066 now,4994 and kiss5401 me, my son.1121

27 And he came5066 near,5066 and kissed5401 him: and he smelled7306 the smell7381 of his raiment,899 and blessed1288 him, and said,559 See,7200 the smell7381 of my son1121 is as the smell7381 of a field7704 which834 the LORD3068 has blessed:1288

28 Therefore God430 give5414 you of the dew2919 of heaven,8064 and the fatness4924 of the earth,776 and plenty7230 of corn1715 and wine:8492

29 Let people5971 serve5647 you, and nations3816 bow7812 down7812 to you: be lord1376 over your brothers,251 and let your mother's517 sons1121 bow7812 down7812 to you: cursed779 be every one that curses779 you, and blessed1288 be he that blesses1288 you.

30 And it came1961 to pass, as soon834 as Isaac3327 had made an end3615 of blessing1293 Jacob,3290 and Jacob3290 was yet389 scarce gone3318 out from the presence6440 of Isaac3327 his father,1 that Esau6215 his brother251 came935 in from his hunting.6718

31 And he also1571 had made6213 savoury4303 meat, and brought935 it to his father,1 and said559 to his father,1 Let my father1 arise,6965 and eat398 of his son's1121 venison,6718 that your soul5315 may bless1288 me.

32 And Isaac3327 his father1 said559 to him, Who4310 are you? And he said,559 I am your son,1121 your firstborn1060 Esau.6215

33 And Isaac3327 trembled2729 very1419 exceedingly,1419 and said,559 Who?4310 where645 is he that has taken6679 venison,6718 and brought935 it me, and I have eaten398 of all3605 before2962 you came,935 and have blessed1288 him? yes,1571 and he shall be blessed.1288

34 And when Esau6215 heard8085 the words1697 of his father,1 he cried6817 with a great1419 and exceeding3966 bitter4751 cry,6818 and said559 to his father,1 Bless1288 me, even1571 me also,1571 O my father.1

35 And he said,559 Your brother251 came935 with subtlety,4820 and has taken3947 away your blessing.1293

36 And he said,559 Is not he rightly3588 named7121 8034 Jacob?3290 for he has supplanted6117 me these2088 two6471 times:6471 he took3947 away my birthright;1062 and, behold,2009 now6258 he has taken3947 away my blessing.1293 And he said,559 Have you not reserved680 a blessing1293 for me?

37 And Isaac3327 answered6030 and said559 to Esau,6215 Behold,2005 I have made7760 him your lord,1376 and all3605 his brothers251 have I given5414 to him for servants;5650 and with corn1715 and wine8492 have I sustained5564 him: and what4100 shall I do6213 now645 to you, my son?1121

38 And Esau6215 said559 to his father,1 Have you but one259 blessing,1293 my father?1 bless1288 me, even1571 me also,1571 O my father.1 And Esau6215 lifted5375 up his voice,6963 and wept.1058

39 And Isaac3327 his father1 answered6030 and said559 to him, Behold,2009 your dwelling4186 shall be the fatness4924 of the earth,776 and of the dew2919 of heaven8064 from above;5921

40 And by your sword2719 shall you live,2421 and shall serve5647 your brother;251 and it shall come1961 to pass when834 you shall have the dominion,7300 that you shall break6561 his yoke5923 from off5921 your neck.6677

41 And Esau6215 hated7852 Jacob3290 because5921 of the blessing1293 with which834 his father1 blessed1288 him: and Esau6215 said559 in his heart,3820 The days3117 of mourning60 for my father1 are at7128 hand;7126 then will I slay2026 my brother251 Jacob.3290

42 And these words1697 of Esau6215 her elder1419 son1121 were told5608 to Rebekah:7259 and she sent7971 and called7121 Jacob3290 her younger6996 son,1121 and said559 to him, Behold,2009 your brother251 Esau,6215 as touching you, does comfort5162 himself, purposing to kill2026 you.

43 Now6258 therefore, my son,1121 obey8085 my voice;6963 arise,6965 flee1272 you to Laban3837 my brother251 to Haran;2771

44 And tarry3427 with him a few259 days,3117 until5704 834 your brother's251 fury2534 turn7725 away;

45 Until5704 your brother's251 anger639 turn7725 away from you, and he forget7911 that which834 you have done6213 to him: then I will send,7971 and fetch3947 you from there:8033 why4100 should I be deprived7921 also1571 of you both8147 in one259 day?3117

46 And Rebekah7259 said559 to Isaac,3327 I am weary6973 of my life2416 because6440 of the daughters1323 of Heth:2845 if518 Jacob3290 take3947 a wife802 of the daughters1323 of Heth,2845 such as these428 which834 are of the daughters1323 of the land,776 what4100 good shall my life2416 do me?

28

1 And Isaac3327 called7121 Jacob,3290 and blessed1288 him, and charged6680 him, and said559 to him, You shall not take3947 a wife802 of the daughters1323 of Canaan.3667

2 Arise,6965 go3212 to Padanaram,6307 to the house1004 of Bethuel1328 your mother's517 father;1 and take3947 you a wife802 from there8033 of the daughters1323 of Laban3837 your mother's517 brother.251

3 And God410 Almighty7706 bless1288 you, and make you fruitful,6509 and multiply7235 you, that you may be a multitude6951 of people;5971

4 And give5414 you the blessing1293 of Abraham,85 to you, and to your seed2233 with you; that you may inherit3423 the land776 wherein you are a stranger,4033 which834 God430 gave5414 to Abraham.85

5 And Isaac3327 sent7971 away Jacob:3290 and he went3212 to Padanaram6307 to Laban,3837 son1121 of Bethuel1328 the Syrian,761 the brother251 of Rebekah,7259 Jacob's3290 and Esau's6215 mother.517

6 When Esau6215 saw7200 that Isaac3327 had blessed1288 Jacob,3290 and sent7971 him away to Padanaram,6307 to take3947 him a wife802 from there;8033 and that as he blessed1288 him he gave him a charge,6680 saying,559 You shall not take3947 a wife802 of the daughters1323 of Canaan;3667

7 And that Jacob3290 obeyed8085 his father1 and his mother,517 and was gone3212 to Padanaram;6307

8 And Esau6215 seeing7200 that the daughters1323 of Canaan3667 pleased7451 5869 not Isaac3327 his father;1

9 Then went3212 Esau6215 to Ishmael,3458 and took3947 to the wives802 which he had Mahalath4258 the daughter1323 of Ishmael3458 Abraham's85 son,1121 the sister269 of Nebajoth,5032 to be his wife.802

10 And Jacob3290 went3318 out from Beersheba,884 and went3212 toward Haran.2771

11 And he lighted6293 on a certain place,4725 and tarried3885 there8033 all3885 night, because3588 the sun8121 was set;935 and he took3947 of the stones68 of that place,4725 and put7760 them for his pillows,4763 and lay7901 down in that place4725 to sleep.7901

12 And he dreamed,2492 and behold2009 a ladder5551 set5324 up on the earth,776 and the top7218 of it reached5060 to heaven:8064 and behold2009 the angels4397 of God430 ascending5927 and descending3381 on it.

13 And, behold,2009 the LORD3068 stood5324 above5921 it, and said,559 I am the LORD3068 God430 of Abraham85 your father,1 and the God430 of Isaac:3327 the land776 where on834 5921 you lie,7901 to you will I give5414 it, and to your seed;2233

14 And your seed2233 shall be as the dust6083 of the earth,776 and you shall spread6555 abroad6555 to the west,3220 and to the east,6924 and to the north,6828 and to the south:5045 and in you and in your seed2233 shall all3605 the families4940 of the earth127 be blessed.1288

15 And, behold,2009 I am with you, and will keep8104 you in all3605 places where834 you go,3212 and will bring7725 you again7725 into413 this2063 land;127 for I will not leave5800 you, until5703 834 I have done6213 that which834 I have spoken1696 to you of.

16 And Jacob3290 awaked3364 out of his sleep,8142 and he said,559 Surely403 the LORD3068 is in this2088 place;4725 and I knew3045 it not.

17 And he was afraid,3372 and said,559 How4100 dreadful3372 is this2088 place!4725 this2088 is none369 other but the house1004 of God,430 and this2088 is the gate8179 of heaven.8064

18 And Jacob3290 rose7925 up early7925 in the morning,1242 and took3947 the stone68 that he had put7760 for his pillows,4763 and set7760 it up for a pillar,4676 and poured3332 oil8081 on the top7218 of it.

19 And he called7121 the name8034 of that place4725 Bethel:1008 but the name8034 of that city5892 was called Luz3870 at the first.7223

20 And Jacob3290 vowed5087 a vow,5088 saying,559 If518 God430 will be with me, and will keep8104 me in this2088 way1870 that I go,1980 and will give5414 me bread3899 to eat,398 and raiment899 to put3847 on,

21 So that I come7725 again7725 to my father's1 house1004 in peace;7965 then shall the LORD3068 be my God:430

22 And this2063 stone,68 which834 I have set7760 for a pillar,4676 shall be God's430 house:1004 and of all3605 that you shall give5414 me I will surely give the tenth6237 to you.

29

1 Then Jacob3290 went5375 7272 on his journey,5575 7272 and came3212 into the land776 of the people1121 of the east.6924

2 And he looked,7200 and behold2009 a well875 in the field,7704 and, see,2009 there8033 were three7969 flocks5739 of sheep6629 lying7257 by it; for out of that well875 they watered8248 the flocks:5739 and a great1419 stone68 was on the well's875 mouth.6310

3 And thither8033 were all3605 the flocks5739 gathered:622 and they rolled1556 the stone68 from the well's875 mouth,6310 and watered8248 the sheep,6629 and put7725 the stone68 again7725 on the well's875 mouth6310 in his place.4725

4 And Jacob3290 said559 to them, My brothers,251 from where370 be you? And they said,559 Of Haran2771 are we.

5 And he said559 to them, Know3045 you Laban3837 the son1121 of Nahor?5152 And they said,559 We know3045 him.

6 And he said559 to them, Is he well?7965 And they said,559 He is well:7965 and, behold,2009 Rachel7354 his daughter1323 comes935 with the sheep.6629

7 And he said,559 See,2005 it is yet5750 high1419 day,3117 neither3808 is it time6256 that the cattle4735 should be gathered622 together: water8248 you the sheep,6629 and go3212 and feed7462 them.

8 And they said,559 We cannot,3808 3201 until5704 all3605 the flocks5739 be gathered622 together, and till they roll1556 the stone68 from the well's875 mouth;6310 then we water8248 the sheep.6629

9 And while he yet5750 spoke1696 with them, Rachel7354 came935 with her father's1 sheep;6629 for she kept7462 them.

10 And it came1961 to pass, when834 Jacob3290 saw7200 Rachel7354 the daughter1323 of Laban3837 his mother's517 brother,251 and the sheep6629 of Laban3837 his mother's517 brother,251 that Jacob3290 went5066 near,5066 and rolled1556 the stone68 from the well's875 mouth,6310 and watered8248 the flock6629 of Laban3837 his mother's517 brother.251

11 And Jacob3290 kissed5401 Rachel,7354 and lifted5375 up his voice,6963 and wept.1058

12 And Jacob3290 told5608 Rachel7354 that he was her father's1 brother,251 and that he was Rebekah's7259 son:1121 and she ran7323 and told5608 her father.1

13 And it came1961 to pass, when Laban3837 heard8085 the tidings8088 of Jacob3290 his sister's269 son,1121 that he ran7323 to meet7125 him, and embraced2263 him, and kissed5401 him, and brought935 him to his house.1004 And he told5608 Laban3837 all3605 these428 things.1697

14 And Laban3837 said559 to him, Surely389 you are my bone6106 and my flesh.1320 And he stayed3427 with him the space3117 of a month.2320

15 And Laban3837 said559 to Jacob,3290 Because3588 you are my brother,251 should you therefore serve5647 me for nothing?2600 tell5046 me, what4100 shall your wages4909 be?

16 And Laban3837 had two8147 daughters:1323 the name8034 of the elder1419 was Leah,3812 and the name8034 of the younger6996 was Rachel.7354

17 Leah3812 was tender7390 eyed;5869 but Rachel7354 was beautiful3303 8389 and well3303 favored.4758

18 And Jacob3290 loved157 Rachel;7354 and said,559 I will serve5647 you seven7651 years8141 for Rachel7354 your younger6996 daughter.1323

19 And Laban3837 said,559 It is better2896 that I give5414 her to you, than that I should give5414 her to another312 man:376 abide3427 with me.

20 And Jacob3290 served5647 seven7651 years8141 for Rachel;7354 and they seemed1961 5869 to him but a few259 days,3117 for the love160 he had to her.

21 And Jacob3290 said559 to Laban,3837 Give3051 me my wife,802 for my days3117 are fulfilled,4390 that I may go935 in to her.

22 And Laban3837 gathered622 together all3605 the men582 of the place,4725 and made6213 a feast.4960

23 And it came1961 to pass in the evening,6153 that he took3947 Leah3812 his daughter,1323 and brought935 her to him; and he went935 in to her.

24 And Laban3837 gave5414 to his daughter1323 Leah3812 Zilpah2153 his maid8198 for an handmaid.8198

25 And it came1961 to pass, that in the morning,1242 behold,2009 it was Leah:3812 and he said559 to Laban,3837 What4100 is this2063 you have done6213 to me? did not I serve5647 with you for Rachel?7354 why4100 2063 then have you beguiled7411 me?

26 And Laban3837 said,559 It must not be so3651 done6213 in our country,4725 to give5414 the younger6810 before6440 the firstborn.1067

27 Fulfill4390 her week,7620 and we will give5414 you this2063 also1571 for the service5656 which834 you shall serve5647 with me yet5750 seven7651 other312 years.8141

28 And Jacob3290 did6213 so,3651 and fulfilled4390 her week:7620 and he gave5414 him Rachel7354 his daughter1323 to wife802 also.

29 And Laban3837 gave5414 to Rachel7354 his daughter1323 Bilhah1090 his handmaid8198 to be her maid.8198

30 And he went935 in also1571 to Rachel,7354 and he loved157 also1571 Rachel7354 more than Leah,3812 and served5647 with him yet5750 seven7651 other312 years.8141

31 And when the LORD3068 saw7200 that Leah3812 was hated,8130 he opened6605 her womb:7358 but Rachel7354 was barren.6135

32 And Leah3812 conceived,2029 and bore3205 a son,1121 and she called7121 his name8034 Reuben:7205 for she said,559 Surely3588 the LORD3068 has looked7200 on my affliction;6040 now6258 therefore3588 my husband376 will love157 me.

33 And she conceived2029 again,5750 and bore3205 a son;1121 and said,559 Because3588 the LORD3068 has heard8085 I was hated,8130 he has therefore1571 given5414 me this2088 son also:1571 and she called7121 his name8034 Simeon.8095

34 And she conceived2029 again,5750 and bore3205 a son;1121 and said,559 Now6471 6258 this time6471 will my husband376 be joined3867 to me, because3588 I have born3205 him three7969 sons:1121 therefore5921 3651 was his name8034 called7121 Levi.3878

35 And she conceived2029 again,5750 and bore3205 a son:1121 and she said,559 Now6471 6258 will I praise3034 the LORD:3068 therefore5921 3651 she called7121 his name8034 Judah;3063 and left5975 bearing.3205

30

1 And when Rachel7354 saw7200 that she bore3205 Jacob3290 no369 children, Rachel7354 envied7065 her sister;269 and said559 to Jacob,3290 Give3051 me children,1121 or else369 I die.4191

2 And Jacob's3290 anger639 was kindled2734 against Rachel:7354 and he said,559 Am I in God's430 stead,8478 who834 has withheld4513 from you the fruit6529 of the womb?990

3 And she said,559 Behold2009 my maid519 Bilhah,1090 go935 in to her; and she shall bear3205 on my knees,1290 that I may also1571 have children1129 by her.

4 And she gave5414 him Bilhah1090 her handmaid8198 to wife:802 and Jacob3290 went935 in to her.

5 And Bilhah1090 conceived,2029 and bore3205 Jacob3290 a son.1121

6 And Rachel7354 said,559 God430 has judged1777 me, and has also1571 heard8085 my voice,6963 and has given5414 me a son:1121 therefore5921 3651 called7121 she his name8034 Dan.1835

7 And Bilhah1090 Rachel's7354 maid8198 conceived2029 again,5750 and bore3205 Jacob3290 a second8145 son.1121

8 And Rachel7354 said,559 With great430 wrestlings5319 have I wrestled6617 with my sister,269 and I have prevailed:3201 and she called7121 his name8034 Naphtali.5321

9 When Leah3812 saw7200 that she had left5975 bearing,3205 she took3947 Zilpah2153 her maid,8198 and gave5414 her Jacob3290 to wife.802

10 And Zilpah2153 Leah's3812 maid8198 bore3205 Jacob3290 a son.1121

11 And Leah3812 said,559 A troop1409 comes:935 and she called7121 his name8034 Gad.1410

12 And Zilpah2153 Leah's3812 maid8198 bore3205 Jacob3290 a second8145 son.1121

13 And Leah3812 said,559 Happy837 am I, for the daughters1323 will call833 me blessed:833 and she called7121 his name8034 Asher.836

14 And Reuben7205 went3212 in the days3117 of wheat2406 harvest,7105 and found4672 mandrakes1736 in the field,7704 and brought935 them to his mother517 Leah.3812 Then Rachel7354 said559 to Leah,3812 Give5414 me, I pray4994 you, of your son's1121 mandrakes.1736

15 And she said559 to her, Is it a small4592 matter that you have taken3947 my husband?376 and would you take3947 away my son's1121 mandrakes1736 also?1571 And Rachel7354 said,559 Therefore3651 he shall lie7901 with you to night3915 for your son's1121 mandrakes.1736

16 And Jacob3290 came935 out of the field7704 in the evening,6153 and Leah3812 went3318 out to meet7125 him, and said,559 You must come935 in to me; for surely I have hired7936 you with my son's1121 mandrakes.1736 And he lay7901 with her that night.3915

17 And God430 listened8085 to Leah,3812 and she conceived,2029 and bore3205 Jacob3290 the fifth2549 son.1121

18 And Leah3812 said,559 God430 has given5414 me my hire,7939 because834 I have given5414 my maiden8198 to my husband:376 and she called7121 his name8034 Issachar.3485

19 And Leah3812 conceived2029 again,5750 and bore3205 Jacob3290 the sixth8345 son.1121

20 And Leah3812 said,559 God430 has endued2064 me with a good2896 dowry;2065 now6471 will my husband376 dwell2082 with me, because3588 I have born3205 him six8337 sons:1121 and she called7121 his name8034 Zebulun.2074

21 And afterwards310 she bore3205 a daughter,1323 and called7121 her name8034 Dinah.1783

22 And God430 remembered2142 Rachel,7354 and God430 listened8085 to her, and opened6605 her womb.7358

23 And she conceived,2029 and bore3205 a son;1121 and said,559 God430 has taken622 away my reproach:2781

24 And she called7121 his name8034 Joseph;3130 and said,559 The LORD3068 shall add3254 to me another312 son.1121

25 And it came1961 to pass, when834 Rachel7354 had born3205 Joseph,3130 that Jacob3290 said559 to Laban,3837 Send7971 me away, that I may go3212 to my own place,4725 and to my country.776

26 Give5414 me my wives802 and my children,3206 for whom834 I have served5647 you, and let me go:3212 for you know3045 my service5656 which834 I have done5647 you.

27 And Laban3837 said559 to him, I pray4994 you, if518 I have found4672 favor2580 in your eyes,5869 tarry: for I have learned5172 by experience5172 that the LORD3068 has blessed1288 me for your sake.1558

28 And he said,559 Appoint5344 me your wages,7939 and I will give5414 it.

29 And he said559 to him, You know3045 how854 834 I have served5647 you, and how854 834 your cattle4735 was with me.

30 For it was little4592 which834 you had before6440 I came, and it is now increased6555 to a multitude;7230 and the LORD3068 has blessed1288 you since my coming:7272 and now6258 when4970 shall I provide6213 for my own house1004 also?1571

31 And he said,559 What4100 shall I give5414 you? And Jacob3290 said,559 You shall not give5414 me any3972 thing:1697 if518 you will do6213 this2088 thing1697 for me, I will again7725 feed7462 and keep8104 your flock.6629

32 I will pass5674 through all3605 your flock6629 to day,3117 removing5493 from there8033 all3605 the speckled5348 and spotted2921 cattle,7716 and all3605 the brown2345 cattle7716 among the sheep,3775 and the spotted2921 and speckled5348 among the goats:5795 and of such shall be my hire.7939

33 So shall my righteousness6666 answer6030 for me in time3117 to come,4279 when3588 it shall come935 for my hire7939 before your face:6440 every3605 one3605 that is not speckled5348 and spotted2921 among the goats,5795 and brown2345 among the sheep,3775 that shall be counted stolen1589 with me.

34 And Laban3837 said,559 Behold,2005 I would3863 it might be according to your word.1697

35 And he removed5493 that day3117 the he goats8495 that were ringstraked6124 and spotted,2921 and all3605 the she goats5795 that were speckled5348 and spotted,2921 and every3605 one that had some white3836 in it, and all3605 the brown2345 among the sheep,3775 and gave5414 them into the hand3027 of his sons.1121

36 And he set7760 three7969 days' 3117journey1870 between996 himself and Jacob:3290 and Jacob3290 fed7462 the rest3498 of Laban's3837 flocks.6629

37 And Jacob3290 took3947 him rods4731 of green3892 poplar,3839 and of the hazel3869 and chesnut6196 tree; and pilled6478 white3836 strakes6479 in them, and made the white3836 appear4286 which834 was in the rods.4731

38 And he set3322 the rods4731 which834 he had pilled6478 before5227 the flocks6629 in the gutters7298 in the watering4325 troughs8268 when3588 the flocks6629 came935 to drink,8354 that they should conceive3179 when they came935 to drink.8354

39 And the flocks6629 conceived3179 before413 the rods,4731 and brought3205 forth3209 cattle6629 ringstraked,6124 speckled,5348 and spotted.2921

40 And Jacob3290 did separate6504 the lambs,3775 and set5414 the faces6440 of the flocks6629 toward413 the ringstraked,6124 and all3605 the brown2345 in the flock6629 of Laban;3837 and he put7896 his own flocks5739 by themselves,905 and put7896 them not to Laban's3837 cattle.6629

41 And it came1961 to pass, whenever3605 the stronger7194 cattle6629 did conceive,3179 that Jacob3290 laid7760 the rods4731 before the eyes5869 of the cattle6629 in the gutters,7298 that they might conceive3179 among the rods.4731

42 But when the cattle6629 were feeble,5848 he put7760 them not in: so the feebler5848 were Laban's,3837 and the stronger7194 Jacob's.3290

43 And the man376 increased6555 exceedingly,3966 and had1961 much7227 cattle,6629 and maidservants,8198 and menservants,5650 and camels,1581 and asses.2543

31

1 And he heard8085 the words1697 of Laban's3837 sons,1121 saying,559 Jacob3290 has taken3947 away all3605 that was our father's;1 and of that which834 was our father's1 has he gotten6213 all3605 this glory.3519

2 And Jacob3290 beheld7200 the countenance6440 of Laban,3837 and, behold,2009 it was not toward him as before.8543

3 And the LORD3068 said559 to Jacob,3290 Return7725 to the land776 of your fathers,1 and to your kindred;4138 and I will be with you.

4 And Jacob3290 sent7971 and called7121 Rachel7354 and Leah3812 to the field7704 to his flock,6629

5 And said559 to them, I see7200 your father's1 countenance,6440 that it is not toward me as before;8543 8032 but the God430 of my father1 has been1961 with me.

6 And you know3045 that with all3605 my power3581 I have served5647 your father.1

7 And your father1 has deceived2048 me, and changed2498 my wages4909 ten6235 times;4489 but God430 suffered5414 him not to hurt7489 me.

8 If518 he said559 thus,3541 The speckled5348 shall be your wages;7939 then all3605 the cattle6629 bore3205 speckled:5348 and if518 he said559 thus,3541 The ringstraked6124 shall be your hire;7939 then bore3205 all3605 the cattle6629 ringstraked.6124

9 Thus God430 has taken5337 away the cattle4735 of your father,1 and given5414 them to me.

10 And it came1961 to pass at the time6256 that the cattle6629 conceived,3179 that I lifted5375 up my eyes,5869 and saw7200 in a dream,2472 and, behold,2009 the rams6260 which leaped5927 on the cattle6629 were ringstraked,6124 speckled,5348 and spotted.1261

11 And the angel4397 of God430 spoke559 to me in a dream,2472 saying, Jacob:3290 And I said,559 Here2009 am I.

12 And he said,559 Lift5375 up now4994 your eyes,5869 and see,7200 all3605 the rams6260 which leap5927 on the cattle6629 are ringstraked,6124 speckled,5348 and spotted:1261 for I have seen7200 all3605 that Laban3837 does6213 to you.

13 I am the God410 of Bethel,1008 where834 you anointed4886 the pillar,4676 and where834 you vowed5087 a vow5088 to me: now6258 arise,6965 get3318 you out from this2063 land,776 and return7725 to the land776 of your kindred.4138

14 And Rachel7354 and Leah3812 answered6030 and said559 to him, Is there yet5750 any portion2506 or inheritance5159 for us in our father's1 house?1004

15 Are we not counted2803 of him strangers?5237 for he has sold4376 us, and has quite devoured398 also1571 our money.3701

16 For all3605 the riches6239 which834 God430 has taken5337 from our father,1 that is ours, and our children's:1121 now6258 then, whatever3605 834 God430 has said559 to you, do.6213

17 Then Jacob3290 rose6965 up, and set5375 his sons1121 and his wives802 on camels;1581

18 And he carried5090 away all3605 his cattle,4735 and all3605 his goods7399 which834 he had gotten,7408 the cattle4735 of his getting,7075 which834 he had gotten7408 in Padanaram,6307 for to go935 to Isaac3327 his father1 in the land776 of Canaan.3667

19 And Laban3837 went1980 to shear1494 his sheep:6629 and Rachel7354 had stolen1589 the images8655 that were her father's.1

20 And Jacob3290 stole1589 away unawares3820 3824 to Laban3837 the Syrian,761 in that he told5046 him not that he fled.1272

21 So he fled1272 with all3605 that he had; and he rose6965 up, and passed5674 over5674 the river,5104 and set7760 his face6440 toward the mount2022 Gilead.1568

22 And it was told5046 Laban3837 on the third7992 day3117 that Jacob3290 was fled.1272

23 And he took3947 his brothers251 with him, and pursued7291 after310 him seven7651 days' 3117journey;1870 and they overtook1692 him in the mount2022 Gilead.1568

24 And God430 came935 to Laban3837 the Syrian761 in a dream2472 by night,3915 and said559 to him, Take3947 heed8104 that you speak1696 not to Jacob3290 either good2896 or5704 bad.7451

25 Then Laban3837 overtook5381 Jacob.3290 Now Jacob3290 had pitched8628 his tent168 in the mount:2022 and Laban3837 with his brothers251 pitched8628 in the mount2022 of Gilead.1568

26 And Laban3837 said559 to Jacob,3290 What4100 have you done,6213 that you have stolen1589 away unawares3820 3824 to me, and carried5090 away my daughters,1323 as captives7617 taken with the sword?2719

27 Why4100 did you flee1272 away secretly,2244 and steal1589 away from me; and did not tell5046 me, that I might have sent7971 you away with mirth,8057 and with songs,7892 with tabret,8596 and with harp?3658

28 And have not suffered5203 me to kiss5401 my sons1121 and my daughters?1323 you have now6258 done foolishly5528 in so doing.6213

29 It is in the power410 of my hand3027 to do6213 you hurt:7451 but the God430 of your father1 spoke559 to me last night,570 saying,559 Take3947 you heed8104 that you speak1696 not to Jacob3290 either good2896 or5704 bad.7451

30 And now,6258 though you would needs be gone,1980 because3588 you sore longed3700 after your father's1 house,1004 yet why4100 have you stolen1589 my gods?430

31 And Jacob3290 answered6030 and said559 to Laban,3837 Because3588 I was afraid:3372 for I said,559 Peradventure6435 you would take1497 by force1497 your daughters1323 from me.

32 With whomsoever834 you find4672 your gods,430 let him not live:2421 before5048 our brothers251 discern5234 you what4100 is your with me, and take3947 it to you. For Jacob3290 knew3045 not that Rachel7354 had stolen1589 them.

33 And Laban3837 went935 into Jacob's3290 tent,168 and into Leah's3812 tent,168 and into the two8147 maidservants' 519tents;168 but he found4672 them not. Then went3318 he out of Leah's3812 tent,168 and entered935 into Rachel's7354 tent.168

34 Now Rachel7354 had taken3947 the images,8655 and put7760 them in the camel's1581 furniture,3733 and sat3427 on them. And Laban3837 searched4959 all3605 the tent,168 but found4672 them not.

35 And she said559 to her father,1 Let it not displease2734 my lord113 that I cannot3808 3201 rise6965 up before6440 you; for the custom1870 of women802 is on me. And he searched 2664but found4672 not the images.8655

36 And Jacob3290 was wroth,2734 and strived7378 with Laban:3837 and Jacob3290 answered6030 and said559 to Laban,3837 What4100 is my trespass?6588 what4100 is my sin,2403 that you have so hotly1814 pursued1814 after310 me?

37 Whereas3588 you have searched4959 all3605 my stuff,3627 what4100 have you found4672 of all3605 your household1004 stuff?3627 set7760 it here3541 before5048 my brothers251 and your brothers,251 that they may judge3198 between996 us both.8147

38 This2088 twenty6242 years8141 have I been with you; your ewes7353 and your she goats5795 have not cast7921 their young, and the rams352 of your flock6629 have I not eaten.398

39 That which was torn2966 of beasts2966 I brought935 not to you; I bore2398 the loss2398 of it; of my hand3027 did you require1245 it, whether stolen1589 by day,3117 or stolen1589 by night.3915

40 Thus I was; in the day3117 the drought2721 consumed398 me, and the frost7140 by night;3915 and my sleep8142 departed5074 from my eyes.5869

41 Thus2088 have I been twenty6242 years8141 in your house;1004 I served5647 you fourteen702 6240 years8141 for your two8147 daughters,1323 and six8337 years8141 for your cattle:6629 and you have changed2498 my wages4909 ten6235 times.4489

42 Except3884 the God430 of my father,1 the God430 of Abraham,85 and the fear6343 of Isaac,3327 had been1961 with me, surely3588 you had sent7971 me away now6258 empty.7387 God430 has seen7200 my affliction6040 and the labor3018 of my hands,3709 and rebuked3198 you last night.570

43 And Laban3837 answered6030 and said559 to Jacob,3290 These daughters1323 are my daughters,1323 and these children1121 are my children,1121 and these cattle6629 are my cattle,6629 and all3605 that you see7200 is mine: and what4100 can I do6213 this day3117 to these428 my daughters,1323 or176 to their children1121 which834 they have born?3205

44 Now6258 therefore come3212 you, let us make3772 a covenant,1285 I and you; and let it be for a witness5707 between996 me and you.

45 And Jacob3290 took3947 a stone,68 and set7311 it up for a pillar.4676

46 And Jacob3290 said559 to his brothers,251 Gather3950 stones;68 and they took3947 stones,68 and made6213 an heap:1530 and they did eat398 there8033 on the heap.1530

47 And Laban3837 called7121 it Jegarsahadutha:3026 but Jacob3290 called7121 it Galeed.1567

48 And Laban3837 said,559 This2088 heap1530 is a witness5707 between996 me and you this day.3117 Therefore5921 3651 was the name8034 of it called7121 Galeed;1567

49 And Mizpah;4709 for he said,559 The LORD3068 watch6822 between996 me and you, when3588 we are absent5641 one376 from another.7453

50 If518 you shall afflict6031 my daughters,1323 or if518 you shall take3947 other wives802 beside5921 my daughters,1323 no3808 man376 is with us; see,7200 God430 is witness5707 between996 me and you.

51 And Laban3837 said559 to Jacob,3290 Behold2009 this2088 heap,1530 and behold2009 this pillar,4676 which834 I have cast3384 between996 me and you:

52 This2088 heap1530 be witness,5707 and this pillar4676 be witness,5715 that I will not pass5674 over5674 this2088 heap1530 to you, and that you shall not pass5674 over5674 this2063 heap1530 and this2063 pillar4676 to me, for harm.7451

53 The God430 of Abraham,85 and the God430 of Nahor,5152 the God430 of their father,1 judge8199 between996 us. And Jacob3290 swore7650 by the fear6343 of his father1 Isaac.3327

54 Then Jacob3290 offered2076 sacrifice2077 on the mount,2022 and called7121 his brothers251 to eat398 bread:3899 and they did eat398 bread,3899 and tarried3885 all3885 night in the mount.2022

55 And early7925 in the morning1242 Laban3837 rose7925 up, and kissed5401 his sons1121 and his daughters,1323 and blessed1288 them: and Laban3837 departed,3212 and returned7725 to his place.4725

32

1 And Jacob3290 went1980 on his way,1870 and the angels4397 of God430 met6293 him.

2 And when834 Jacob3290 saw7200 them, he said,559 This2088 is God's430 host:4264 and he called7121 the name8034 of that place4725 Mahanaim.4266

3 And Jacob3290 sent7971 messengers4397 before6440 him to Esau6215 his brother251 to the land776 of Seir,8165 the country7704 of Edom.123

4 And he commanded6680 them, saying,559 Thus3541 shall you speak559 to my lord113 Esau;6215 Your servant5650 Jacob3290 said559 thus,3541 I have sojourned1481 with Laban,3837 and stayed309 there until5704 now:6258

5 And I have1961 oxen,7794 and asses,2543 flocks,6629 and menservants,5650 and womenservants:8198 and I have sent7971 to tell5046 my lord,113 that I may find4672 grace2580 in your sight.5869

6 And the messengers4397 returned7725 to Jacob,3290 saying,559 We came935 to your brother251 Esau,6215 and also1571 he comes1980 to meet7125 you, and four702 hundred3967 men376 with him.

7 Then Jacob3290 was greatly3966 afraid3372 and distressed:3334 and he divided2673 the people5971 that was with him, and the flocks,6629 and herds,1241 and the camels,1581 into two8147 bands;4264

8 And said,559 If518 Esau6215 come935 to the one259 company,4264 and smite5221 it, then the other company4264 which is left7604 shall escape.6413

9 And Jacob3290 said,559 O God430 of my father1 Abraham,85 and God430 of my father1 Isaac,3327 the LORD3068 which said559 to me, Return7725 to your country,776 and to your kindred,4138 and I will deal well3190 with you:

10 I am not worthy6994 of the least6994 of all3605 the mercies,2617 and of all3605 the truth,571 which834 you have showed6213 to your servant;5650 for with my staff4731 I passed5674 over5674 this2088 Jordan;3383 and now6258 I am become1961 two8147 bands.4264

11 Deliver5337 me, I pray4994 you, from the hand3027 of my brother,251 from the hand3027 of Esau:6215 for I fear3373 him, lest6435 he will come935 and smite5221 me, and the mother517 with the children.1121

12 And you said,559 I will surely do you good,3190 and make7760 your seed2233 as the sand2344 of the sea,3220 which834 cannot3808 be numbered5608 for multitude.7230

13 And he lodged3885 there8033 that same1931 night;3915 and took3947 of that which came935 to his hand3027 a present4503 for Esau6215 his brother;251

14 Two hundred3967 she goats,5795 and twenty6242 he goats,8495 two hundred3967 ewes,7353 and twenty6242 rams,352

15 Thirty7970 milk3243 camels1581 with their colts,1121 forty705 cows,6510 and ten6235 bulls,6499 twenty6242 she asses,860 and ten6235 foals.5895

16 And he delivered5414 them into the hand3027 of his servants,5650 every drove5739 by themselves;905 and said559 to his servants,5650 Pass5674 over5674 before6440 me, and put7760 a space7305 between996 drove5739 and drove.5739

17 And he commanded6680 the foremost,7223 saying,559 When3588 Esau6215 my brother251 meets6298 you, and asks7592 you, saying,559 Whose4310 are you? and where575 go3212 you? and whose4310 are these428 before6440 you?

18 Then you shall say,559 They be your servant5650 Jacob's;3290 it is a present4503 sent7971 to my lord113 Esau:6215 and, behold,2009 also1571 he is behind310 us.

19 And so1571 commanded6680 he the second,8145 and the third,7992 and all3605 that followed1980 310 the droves,5739 saying,559 On this2088 manner1697 shall you speak1696 to Esau,6215 when you find4672 him.

20 And say559 you moreover,1571 Behold,2009 your servant5650 Jacob3290 is behind310 us. For he said,559 I will appease3722 6440 him with the present4503 that goes1980 before6440 me, and afterward310 3651 I will see7200 his face;6440 peradventure194 he will accept5375 of me.

21 So went5674 the present4503 over5674 before5921 6440 him: and himself1931 lodged3885 that night3915 in the company.4264

22 And he rose6965 up that night,3915 and took3947 his two8147 wives,802 and his two8147 womenservants,8198 and his eleven259 6240 sons,3206 and passed5674 over5674 the ford4569 Jabbok.2999

23 And he took3947 them, and sent5674 them over5674 the brook,5158 and sent5674 over5674 that he had.

24 And Jacob3290 was left3498 alone;905 and there wrestled79 a man376 with him until5704 the breaking5927 of the day.7837

25 And when he saw7200 that he prevailed3201 not against him, he touched5060 the hollow3709 of his thigh;3409 and the hollow3709 of Jacob's3290 thigh3409 was out of joint,3363 as he wrestled79 with him.

26 And he said,559 Let me go,7971 for the day7837 breaks.5927 And he said,559 I will not let you go,7971 except3588 518 you bless1288 me.

27 And he said559 to him, What4100 is your name?8034 And he said,559 Jacob.3290

28 And he said,559 Your name8034 shall be called559 no3808 more5750 Jacob,3290 but Israel:3478 for as a prince have you power8280 with God430 and with men,582 and have prevailed.3201

29 And Jacob3290 asked7592 him, and said,559 Tell5046 me, I pray4994 you, your name.8034 And he said,559 Why4100 is it that you do ask7592 after my name?8034 And he blessed1288 him there.8033

30 And Jacob3290 called7121 the name8034 of the place4725 Peniel:6439 for I have seen7200 God430 face6440 to face,6440 and my life5315 is preserved.5337

31 And as he passed5674 over5674 Penuel6439 the sun8121 rose2224 on him, and he halted6761 on his thigh.3409

32 Therefore5921 3651 the children1121 of Israel3478 eat398 not of the sinew1517 which shrank,5384 which834 is on the hollow3709 of the thigh,3409 to this2088 day:3117 because3588 he touched5060 the hollow3709 of Jacob's3290 thigh3409 in the sinew1517 that shrank.5384

33

1 And Jacob3290 lifted5375 up his eyes,5869 and looked,7200 and, behold,2009 Esau6215 came,935 and with him four702 hundred3967 men.376 And he divided2673 the children3206 to Leah,3812 and to Rachel,7354 and to the two8147 handmaids.8198

2 And he put7760 the handmaids8198 and their children3206 foremost,7223 and Leah3812 and her children3206 after,314 and Rachel7354 and Joseph3130 last.314

3 And he passed5674 over5674 before6440 them, and bowed7812 himself to the ground776 seven7651 times,6471 until5704 he came5066 near5066 to his brother.251

4 And Esau6215 ran7323 to meet7125 him, and embraced2263 him, and fell5307 on5921 his neck,6677 and kissed5401 him: and they wept.1058

5 And he lifted5375 up his eyes,5869 and saw7200 the women802 and the children;3206 and said,559 Who4310 are those428 with you? And he said,559 The children3206 which834 God430 has graciously2603 given2603 your servant.5650

6 Then the handmaidens8198 came5066 near,5066 they and their children,3206 and they bowed7812 themselves.

7 And Leah3812 also1571 with her children3206 came5066 near,5066 and bowed7812 themselves: and after310 came5066 Joseph3130 near5066 and Rachel,7354 and they bowed7812 themselves.

8 And he said,559 What4310 mean you by all3605 this2088 drove4264 which834 I met?6298 And he said,559 These are to find4672 grace2580 in the sight5869 of my lord.113

9 And Esau6215 said,559 I have3426 enough,7227 my brother;251 keep1961 that you have to yourself.

10 And Jacob3290 said,559 No,408 I pray4994 you, if518 now4994 I have found4672 grace2580 in your sight,5869 then receive3947 my present4503 at my hand:3027 for therefore5921 3651 I have seen7200 your face,6440 as though I had seen7200 the face6440 of God,430 and you were pleased7521 with me.

11 Take,3947 I pray4994 you, my blessing1293 that is brought935 to you; because3588 God430 has dealt graciously2603 with me, and because3588 I have3426 enough.3605 And he urged6484 him, and he took3947 it.

12 And he said,559 Let us take our journey,5265 and let us go,3212 and I will go3212 before5048 you.

13 And he said559 to him, My lord113 knows3045 that the children3206 are tender,7390 and the flocks6629 and herds1241 with young5763 are with me: and if518 men should overdrive1849 them one259 day,3117 all3605 the flock6629 will die.4191

14 Let my lord,113 I pray4994 you, pass5674 over5674 before6440 his servant:5650 and I will lead5095 on softly,328 according7272 as the cattle4399 that goes before6440 me and the children3206 be able7272 to endure,7272 until5704 I come935 to my lord113 to Seir.8165

15 And Esau6215 said,559 Let me now4994 leave3322 with you some of the folk5971 that are with me. And he said,559 What4100 needs it? let me find4672 grace2580 in the sight5869 of my lord.113

16 So Esau6215 returned7725 that day3117 on his way1870 to Seir.8165

17 And Jacob3290 journeyed5265 to Succoth,5523 and built1129 him an house,1004 and made6213 booths5521 for his cattle:4735 therefore5921 3651 the name8034 of the place4725 is called7121 Succoth.5523

18 And Jacob3290 came935 to Shalem,8003 a city5892 of Shechem,7927 which834 is in the land776 of Canaan,3667 when he came935 from Padanaram;6307 and pitched2583 his tent before854 6440 the city.5892

19 And he bought7069 a parcel2513 of a field,7704 where834 he had spread5186 his tent,168 at the hand3027 of the children1121 of Hamor,2544 Shechem's7927 father,1 for an hundred3967 pieces of money.7192

20 And he erected5324 there8033 an altar,4196 and called7121 it EleloheIsrael.415

34

1 And Dinah1783 the daughter1323 of Leah,3812 which834 she bore3205 to Jacob,3290 went3318 out to see7200 the daughters1323 of the land.776

2 And when Shechem7927 the son1121 of Hamor2544 the Hivite,2340 prince5387 of the country,776 saw7200 her, he took3947 her, and lay7901 with her, and defiled6031 her.

3 And his soul5315 joined1692 to Dinah1783 the daughter1323 of Jacob,3290 and he loved157 the damsel,5291 and spoke1696 kindly5921 3820 to the damsel.5291

4 And Shechem7927 spoke559 to his father1 Hamor,2544 saying,559 Get3947 me this2063 damsel3207 to wife.802

5 And Jacob3290 heard8085 that he had defiled2930 Dinah1783 his daughter:1323 now his sons1121 were with his cattle4735 in the field:7704 and Jacob3290 held2790 his peace2790 until5704 they were come.935

6 And Hamor2544 the father1 of Shechem7927 went3318 out to Jacob3290 to commune1696 with him.

7 And the sons1121 of Jacob3290 came935 out of the field7704 when they heard8085 it: and the men582 were grieved,6087 and they were very3966 wroth,2734 because3588 he had worked6213 folly5039 in Israel3478 in lying7901 with Jacob's3290 daughter:1323 which3651 thing3651 ought not to be done.6213

8 And Hamor2544 communed1696 with them, saying,559 The soul5315 of my son1121 Shechem7927 longs2836 for your daughter:1323 I pray4994 you give5414 her him to wife.802

9 And make you marriages2859 with us, and give5414 your daughters1323 to us, and take3947 our daughters1323 to you.

10 And you shall dwell3427 with us: and the land776 shall be before6440 you; dwell3427 and trade5503 you therein, and get you possessions270 therein.

11 And Shechem7927 said559 to her father1 and to her brothers,251 Let me find4672 grace2580 in your eyes,5869 and what834 you shall say559 to me I will give.5414

12 Ask me never so much3966 7235 dowry4119 and gift,4976 and I will give5414 according as you shall say559 to me: but give5414 me the damsel5291 to wife.802

13 And the sons1121 of Jacob3290 answered6030 Shechem7927 and Hamor2544 his father1 deceitfully,4820 and said,1696 because834 he had defiled2930 Dinah1783 their sister:269

14 And they said559 to them, We cannot3808 3201 do6213 this2088 thing,1697 to give5414 our sister269 to one376 that is uncircumcised;6190 for that were a reproach2781 to us:

15 But in this2063 will we consent225 to you: If518 you will be as we be, that every3605 male2145 of you be circumcised;4135

16 Then will we give5414 our daughters1323 to you, and we will take3947 your daughters1323 to us, and we will dwell3427 with you, and we will become1961 one259 people.5971

17 But if518 you will not listen8085 to us, to be circumcised;4135 then will we take3947 our daughter,1323 and we will be gone.1980

18 And their words1697 pleased3190 5869 Hamor,2544 and Shechem7927 Hamor's2544 son.1121

19 And the young5288 man deferred309 not to do6213 the thing,1697 because3588 he had delight2654 in Jacob's3290 daughter:1323 and he was more3513 honorable3513 than all3605 the house1004 of his father.1

20 And Hamor2544 and Shechem7927 his son1121 came935 to the gate8179 of their city,5892 and communed1696 with the men582 of their city,5892 saying,559

21 These428 men582 are peaceable8003 with us; therefore let them dwell3427 in the land,776 and trade5503 therein; for the land,776 behold,2009 it is large7342 enough3027 for them; let us take3947 their daughters1323 to us for wives,802 and let us give5414 them our daughters.1323

22 Only389 herein2063 will the men582 consent225 to us for to dwell3427 with us, to be one259 people,5971 if518 every3605 male2145 among us be circumcised,4135 as they are circumcised.4135

23 Shall not their cattle4735 and their substance7075 and every3605 beast929 of their's be our's? only389 let us consent225 to them, and they will dwell3427 with us.

24 And to Hamor2544 and to Shechem7927 his son1121 listened8085 all3605 that went3318 out of the gate8179 of his city;5892 and every3605 male2145 was circumcised,4135 all that went3318 out of the gate8179 of his city.5892

25 And it came1961 to pass on the third7992 day,3117 when they were sore,3510 that two8147 of the sons1121 of Jacob,3290 Simeon8095 and Levi,3878 Dinah's1783 brothers,251 took3947 each man376 his sword,2719 and came935 on the city5892 boldly,983 and slew2026 all3605 the males.2145

26 And they slew2026 Hamor2544 and Shechem7927 his son1121 with the edge6310 of the sword,2719 and took3947 Dinah1783 out of Shechem's7927 house,1004 and went3318 out.

27 The sons1121 of Jacob3290 came935 on the slain,2491 and spoiled962 the city,5892 because834 they had defiled2930 their sister.269

28 They took3947 their sheep,6629 and their oxen,1241 and their asses,2543 and that which834 was in the city,5892 and that which834 was in the field,7704

29 And all3605 their wealth,2428 and all3605 their little2945 ones, and their wives802 took they captive,7617 and spoiled962 even all3605 that was in the house.1004

30 And Jacob3290 said559 to Simeon8095 and Levi,3878 You have troubled5916 me to make me to stink887 among the inhabitants3427 of the land,776 among the Canaanites3669 and the Perizzites:6522 and I being few4962 in number,4557 they shall gather622 themselves together against5921 me, and slay5221 me; and I shall be destroyed,8045 I and my house.1004

31 And they said,559 Should he deal6213 with our sister269 as with an harlot?2181

35

1 And God430 said559 to Jacob,3290 Arise,6965 go5927 up to Bethel,1008 and dwell3427 there:8033 and make6213 there8033 an altar4196 to God,410 that appeared7200 to you when you fled1272 from the face6440 of Esau6215 your brother.251

2 Then Jacob3290 said559 to his household,1004 and to all3605 that were with him, Put5493 away the strange5236 gods430 that are among8432 you, and be clean,2891 and change2498 your garments:8071

3 And let us arise,6965 and go5927 up to Bethel;1008 and I will make6213 there8033 an altar4196 to God,410 who answered6030 me in the day3117 of my distress,6869 and was with me in the way1870 which834 I went.1980

4 And they gave5414 to Jacob3290 all3605 the strange5236 gods430 which834 were in their hand,3027 and all their earrings5141 which834 were in their ears;241 and Jacob3290 hid2934 them under8478 the oak424 which834 was by Shechem.7927

5 And they journeyed:5265 and the terror2847 of God430 was on the cities5892 that were round5439 about them, and they did not pursue7291 after310 the sons1121 of Jacob.3290

6 So Jacob3290 came935 to Luz,3870 which834 is in the land776 of Canaan,3667 that is, Bethel,1008 he and all3605 the people5971 that were with him.

7 And he built1129 there8033 an altar,4196 and called7121 the place4725 Elbethel:416 because3588 there8033 God430 appeared1540 to him, when he fled1272 from the face6440 of his brother.251

8 But Deborah1683 Rebekah's7259 nurse3243 died,4191 and she was buried6912 beneath8478 Bethel1008 under8478 an oak:437 and the name8034 of it was called7121 Allonbachuth.439

9 And God430 appeared7200 to Jacob3290 again,5750 when he came935 out of Padanaram,6307 and blessed1288 him.

10 And God430 said559 to him, Your name8034 is Jacob:3290 your name8034 shall not be called7121 any5750 more5750 Jacob,3290 but Israel3478 shall be your name:8034 and he called7121 his name8034 Israel.3478

11 And God430 said559 to him, I am God410 Almighty:7706 be fruitful6509 and multiply;7235 a nation1471 and a company6951 of nations1471 shall be of you, and kings4428 shall come3318 out of your loins;2504

12 And the land776 which834 I gave5414 Abraham85 and Isaac,3327 to you I will give5414 it, and to your seed2233 after310 you will I give5414 the land.776

13 And God430 went5927 up from him in the place4725 where834 he talked1696 with him.

14 And Jacob3290 set5324 up a pillar4676 in the place4725 where he talked1696 with him, even a pillar4678 of stone:68 and he poured5258 a drink5262 offering thereon,5921 and he poured3332 oil8081 thereon.5921

15 And Jacob3290 called7121 the name8034 of the place4725 where834 God430 spoke1696 with him, Bethel.1008

16 And they journeyed5265 from Bethel;1008 and there was but a little3530 way776 to come935 to Ephrath:672 and Rachel7354 travailed,3205 and she had hard7185 labor.3205

17 And it came1961 to pass, when she was in hard7185 labor,3205 that the midwife3205 said559 to her, Fear3372 not; you shall have this2088 son1121 also.1571

18 And it came1961 to pass, as her soul5315 was in departing,3318 (for she died)4191 that she called7121 his name8034 Benoni:1126 but his father1 called7121 him Benjamin.1144

19 And Rachel7354 died,4191 and was buried6912 in the way1870 to Ephrath,672 which1931 is Bethlehem.1035

20 And Jacob3290 set5324 a pillar4676 on her grave:6900 that is the pillar4678 of Rachel's7354 grave6900 to this day.3117

21 And Israel3478 journeyed,5265 and spread5186 his tent168 beyond1973 the tower4026 of Edar.5740

22 And it came1961 to pass, when Israel3478 dwelled7931 in that land,776 that Reuben7205 went3212 and lay7901 with Bilhah1090 his father's1 concubine:6370 and Israel3478 heard8085 it. Now the sons1121 of Jacob3290 were twelve:8147

23 The sons1121 of Leah;3812 Reuben,7205 Jacob's3290 firstborn,1060 and Simeon,8095 and Levi,3878 and Judah,3063 and Issachar,3485 and Zebulun:2074

24 The sons1121 of Rachel;7354 Joseph,3130 and Benjamin:1144

25 And the sons1121 of Bilhah,1090 Rachel's7354 handmaid;8198 Dan,1835 and Naphtali:5321

26 And the sons1121 of Zilpah,2153 Leah's3812 handmaid:8198 Gad,1410 and Asher:836 these428 are the sons1121 of Jacob,3290 which834 were born3205 to him in Padanaram.6307

27 And Jacob3290 came935 to Isaac3327 his father1 to Mamre,4471 to the city7151 of Arbah,704 which834 is Hebron,2275 where834 Abraham85 and Isaac3327 sojourned.1481

28 And the days3117 of Isaac3327 were an hundred3967 and fourscore8084 years.8141

29 And Isaac3327 gave up the ghost,1478 and died,4191 and was gathered622 to his people,5971 being old2205 and full7649 of days:3117 and his sons1121 Esau6215 and Jacob3290 buried6912 him.

36

1 Now these428 are the generations8435 of Esau,6215 who1931 is Edom.123

2 Esau6215 took3947 his wives802 of the daughters1323 of Canaan;3667 Adah5711 the daughter1323 of Elon356 the Hittite,2850 and Aholibamah173 the daughter1323 of Anah6034 the daughter1323 of Zibeon6649 the Hivite;2340

3 And Bashemath1315 Ishmael's3458 daughter,1323 sister269 of Nebajoth.5032

4 And Adah5711 bore3205 to Esau6215 Eliphaz;464 and Bashemath1315 bore3205 Reuel;7467

5 And Aholibamah173 bore3205 Jeush,3266 and Jaalam,3281 and Korah:7141 these428 are the sons1121 of Esau,6215 which834 were born3205 to him in the land776 of Canaan.3667

6 And Esau6215 took3947 his wives,802 and his sons,1121 and his daughters,1323 and all3605 the persons5315 of his house,1004 and his cattle,4735 and all3605 his beasts,929 and all3605 his substance,7075 which834 he had got7408 in the land776 of Canaan;3667 and went3212 into413 the country776 from the face6440 of his brother251 Jacob.3290

7 For their riches7399 were more7227 than that they might dwell3427 together;3162 and the land776 wherein they were strangers4033 could3201 not bear5375 them because6440 of their cattle.4735

8 Thus dwelled3427 Esau6215 in mount2022 Seir:8165 Esau6215 is Edom.123

9 And these428 are the generations8435 of Esau6215 the father1 of the Edomites130 in mount2022 Seir:8165

37

1 And Jacob3290 dwelled3427 in the land776 wherein his father1 was a stranger,4033 in the land776 of Canaan.3667

2 These428 are the generations8435 of Jacob.3290 Joseph,3130 being seventeen7651 6240 years8141 old,1121 was feeding7462 the flock6629 with his brothers;251 and the lad5288 was with the sons1121 of Bilhah,1090 and with the sons1121 of Zilpah,2153 his father's1 wives:802 and Joseph3130 brought935 to his father1 their evil7451 report.1681

3 Now Israel3478 loved157 Joseph3130 more than all3605 his children,1121 because3588 he was the son1121 of his old2208 age: and he made6213 him a coat3801 of many colors.6446

4 And when his brothers251 saw7200 that their father1 loved157 him more than all3605 his brothers,251 they hated8130 him, and could3201 not speak1696 peaceably7965 to him.

5 And Joseph3130 dreamed2492 a dream,2472 and he told5046 it his brothers:251 and they hated8130 him yet5750 the more.3254

6 And he said559 to them, Hear,8085 I pray4994 you, this2088 dream2472 which834 I have dreamed:2492

7 For, behold,2009 we were binding481 sheaves485 in the field,7704 and, see,2009 my sheaf485 arose,6965 and also stood5324 upright; and, behold,2009 your sheaves485 stood round5437 about, and made obeisance7812 to my sheaf.485

8 And his brothers251 said559 to him, Shall you indeed reign4427 over5921 us? or shall you indeed have dominion4910 over us? And they hated8130 him yet5750 the more3254 for his dreams,2472 and for his words.1697

9 And he dreamed2492 yet5750 another312 dream,2472 and told5608 it his brothers,251 and said,559 Behold,2009 I have dreamed2492 a dream2472 more;5750 and, behold,2009 the sun8121 and the moon3394 and the eleven259 6240 stars3556 made obeisance7812 to me.

10 And he told5608 it to his father,1 and to his brothers:251 and his father1 rebuked1605 him, and said559 to him, What4100 is this2088 dream2472 that you have dreamed?2492 Shall I and your mother517 and your brothers251 indeed come935 to bow7812 down7812 ourselves to you to the earth?776

11 And his brothers251 envied7065 him; but his father1 observed8104 the saying.1697

12 And his brothers251 went3212 to feed7462 their father's1 flock6629 in Shechem.7927

13 And Israel3478 said559 to Joseph,3130 Do not your brothers251 feed7462 the flock in Shechem?7927 come,3212 and I will send7971 you to them. And he said559 to him, Here2009 am I.

14 And he said559 to him, Go,3212 I pray4994 you, see7200 whether it be well7965 with your brothers,251 and well7965 with the flocks;6629 and bring7725 me word1697 again.7725 So he sent7971 him out of the vale6010 of Hebron,2275 and he came935 to Shechem.7927

15 And a certain man376 found4672 him, and, behold,2009 he was wandering8582 in the field:7704 and the man376 asked7592 him, saying,559 What4100 seek1245 you?

16 And he said,559 I seek1245 my brothers:251 tell5046 me, I pray4994 you, where375 they feed7462 their flocks.

17 And the man376 said,559 They are departed5265 hence;2088 for I heard8085 them say,559 Let us go3212 to Dothan.1886 And Joseph3130 went3212 after310 his brothers,251 and found4672 them in Dothan.1886

18 And when they saw7200 him afar7350 off, even before2962 he came7126 near7126 to them, they conspired5230 against834 him to slay4191 him.

19 And they said559 one376 to another,251 Behold,2009 this1976 dreamer1167 2472 comes.935

20 Come3212 now6258 therefore, and let us slay2026 him, and cast7993 him into some259 pit,953 and we will say,559 Some evil7451 beast2416 has devoured398 him: and we shall see7200 what4100 will become1961 of his dreams.2472

21 And Reuben7205 heard8085 it, and he delivered5337 him out of their hands;3027 and said,559 Let us not kill5221 him.

22 And Reuben7205 said559 to them, Shed8210 no3808 blood,1818 but cast7993 him into413 this2088 pit953 that is in the wilderness,4057 and lay7971 no3808 hand3027 on him; that he might rid5337 him out of their hands,3027 to deliver7725 him to his father1 again.7725

23 And it came1961 to pass, when834 Joseph3130 was come935 to his brothers,251 that they stripped6584 Joseph3130 out of his coat,3801 his coat3801 of many colors6446 that was on5921 him;

24 And they took3947 him, and cast7993 him into a pit:953 and the pit953 was empty,7386 there was no3808 water4325 in it.

25 And they sat3427 down to eat398 bread:3899 and they lifted5375 up their eyes5869 and looked,7200 and, behold,2009 a company736 of Ishmeelites3459 came935 from Gilead1568 with their camels1581 bearing5375 spices5219 and balm6875 and myrrh,3910 going1980 to carry3381 it down3381 to Egypt.4714

26 And Judah3063 said559 to his brothers,251 What4100 profit1215 is it if3588 we slay2026 our brother,251 and conceal3680 his blood?1818

27 Come,3212 and let us sell4376 him to the Ishmeelites,3459 and let not our hand3027 be on him; for he is our brother251 and our flesh.1320 And his brothers251 were content.8085

28 Then there passed5674 by Midianites4084 merchants;5503 and they drew4900 and lifted5927 up Joseph3130 out of the pit,953 and sold4376 Joseph3130 to the Ishmeelites3459 for twenty6242 pieces of silver:3701 and they brought935 Joseph3130 into Egypt.4714

29 And Reuben7205 returned7725 to the pit;953 and, behold,2009 Joseph3130 was not in the pit;953 and he rent7167 his clothes.899

30 And he returned7725 to his brothers,251 and said,559 The child3206 is not; and I, where575 shall I go?935

31 And they took3947 Joseph's3130 coat,3801 and killed7819 a kid8163 of the goats,5795 and dipped2881 the coat3801 in the blood;1818

32 And they sent7971 the coat3801 of many colors,6446 and they brought935 it to their father;1 and said,559 This2063 have we found:4672 know5234 now4994 whether it be your son's1121 coat3801 or no.3808

33 And he knew5234 it, and said,559 It is my son's1121 coat;3801 an evil7451 beast2416 has devoured398 him; Joseph3130 is without2963 doubt rent2963 in pieces.

34 And Jacob3290 rent7167 his clothes,8071 and put7760 sackcloth8242 on his loins,4975 and mourned56 for his son1121 many7227 days.3117

35 And all3605 his sons1121 and all3605 his daughters1323 rose6965 up to comfort5162 him; but he refused3985 to be comforted;5162 and he said,559 For I will go3381 down3381 into the grave7585 to my son1121 mourning.57 Thus his father1 wept1058 for him.

36 And the Midianites4092 sold4376 him into413 Egypt4714 to Potiphar,6318 an officer5631 of Pharaoh's,6547 and captain8269 of the guard.2876

38

1 And it came1961 to pass at that time,6256 that Judah3063 went3381 down3381 from his brothers,251 and turned5186 in to a certain376 Adullamite,5726 whose name8034 was Hirah.2437

2 And Judah3063 saw7200 there8033 a daughter1323 of a certain376 Canaanite,3669 whose name8034 was Shuah;7770 and he took3947 her, and went935 in to her.

3 And she conceived,2029 and bore3205 a son;1121 and he called7121 his name8034 Er.6147

4 And she conceived2029 again,5750 and bore3205 a son;1121 and she called7121 his name8034 Onan.209

5 And she yet5750 again5750 conceived,3254 and bore3205 a son;1121 and called7121 his name8034 Shelah:7956 and he was at Chezib,3580 when she bore3205 him.

6 And Judah3063 took3947 a wife802 for Er6147 his firstborn,1060 whose name8034 was Tamar.8559

7 And Er,6147 Judah's3063 firstborn,1060 was wicked7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD;3068 and the LORD3068 slew4191 him.

8 And Judah3063 said559 to Onan,209 Go935 in to your brother's251 wife,802 and marry2992 her, and raise6965 up seed2233 to your brother.251

9 And Onan209 knew3045 that the seed2233 should not be his; and it came1961 to pass, when518 he went935 in to his brother's251 wife,802 that he spilled7843 it on the ground,776 lest1115 that he should give5414 seed2233 to his brother.251

10 And the thing which834 he did6213 displeased7489 5869 the LORD:3068 why he slew4191 him also.1571

11 Then said559 Judah3063 to Tamar8559 his daughter3618 in law,3618 Remain3427 a widow490 at your father's1 house,1004 till5704 Shelah7956 my son1121 be grown:1431 for he said,559 Lest6435 peradventure he die4191 also,1571 as his brothers251 did. And Tamar8559 went3212 and dwelled3427 in her father's1 house.1004

12 And in process7235 of time3117 the daughter1323 of Shuah7770 Judah's3063 wife802 died;4191 and Judah3063 was comforted,5162 and went5927 up to his sheep shearers1494 6629 to Timnath,8553 he and his friend7453 Hirah2437 the Adullamite.5726

13 And it was told5046 Tamar,8559 saying,559 Behold2009 your father2524 in law2524 goes5927 up to Timnath8553 to shear1494 his sheep.6629

14 And she put5493 her widow's491 garments899 off5921 from her, and covered3680 her with a veil,6809 and wrapped5968 herself, and sat3427 in an open5869 place,6607 which834 is by the way1870 to Timnath;8553 for she saw7200 that Shelah7956 was grown,1431 and she was not given5414 to him to wife.802

15 When Judah3063 saw7200 her, he thought2803 her to be an harlot;2181 because3588 she had covered3680 her face.6440

16 And he turned5186 to her by the way,1870 and said,559 Go3051 to, I pray4994 you, let me come935 in to you; (for he knew3045 not that she was his daughter3618 in law.3618) And she said,559 What4100 will you give5414 me, that you may come935 in to me?

17 And he said,559 I will send7971 you a kid1423 from the flock.6629 And she said,559 Will you give5414 me a pledge,6162 till5704 you send7971 it?

18 And he said,559 What834 pledge6162 shall I give5414 you? And she said,559 Your signet,2368 and your bracelets,6616 and your staff4294 that is in your hand.3027 And he gave5414 it her, and came935 in to her, and she conceived2029 by him.

19 And she arose,6965 and went3212 away, and laid5493 by her veil6809 from her, and put3847 on the garments899 of her widowhood.491

20 And Judah3063 sent7971 the kid1423 by the hand3027 of his friend7453 the Adullamite,5726 to receive3947 his pledge6162 from the woman's802 hand:3027 but he found4672 her not.

21 Then he asked7592 the men582 of that place,4725 saying,559 Where346 is the harlot,6948 that was openly5879 by the way1870 side? And they said,559 There was no3808 harlot6948 in this2088 place.

22 And he returned7725 to Judah,3063 and said,559 I cannot3808 find4672 her; and also1571 the men582 of the place4725 said,559 that there was no3808 harlot6948 in this2088 place.

23 And Judah3063 said,559 Let her take3947 it to her, lest6435 we be shamed:937 behold,2009 I sent7971 this2088 kid,1423 and you have not found4672 her.

24 And it came1961 to pass about three7969 months2320 after, that it was told5046 Judah,3063 saying,559 Tamar8559 your daughter3618 in law3618 has played the harlot;2181 and also,1571 behold,2009 she is with child2030 by prostitution.2183 And Judah3063 said,559 Bring3318 her forth,3318 and let her be burnt.8313

25 When she was brought3318 forth,3318 she sent7971 to her father2524 in law,2524 saying,559 By the man,376 whose834 these428 are, am I with child:2030 and she said,559 Discern,5234 I pray4994 you, whose834 are these,428 the signet,2858 and bracelets,6616 and staff.4294

26 And Judah3063 acknowledged5234 them, and said,559 She has been more righteous6663 than I; because3588 that I gave5414 her not to Shelah7956 my son.1121 And he knew3045 her again3254 no3808 more.5750

27 And it came1961 to pass in the time6256 of her travail,3205 that, behold,2009 twins8380 were in her womb.990

28 And it came1961 to pass, when she travailed,3205 that the one put5414 out his hand:3027 and the midwife3205 took3947 and bound7194 on his hand3027 a scarlet8144 thread, saying,559 This2088 came3318 out first.7223

29 And it came1961 to pass, as he drew7725 back7725 his hand,3027 that, behold,2009 his brother251 came3318 out: and she said,559 How4100 have you broken6555 forth?6556 this breach6556 be on you: therefore his name8034 was called7121 Pharez.6557

30 And afterward310 came3318 out his brother,251 that had the scarlet8144 thread on his hand:3027 and his name8034 was called7121 Zarah.2226

39

1 And Joseph3130 was brought3381 down3381 to Egypt;4714 and Potiphar,6318 an officer5631 of Pharaoh,6547 captain8269 of the guard,2876 an Egyptian,4713 bought7069 him of the hands3027 of the Ishmeelites,3459 which834 had brought3381 him down3381 thither.8033

2 And the LORD3068 was with Joseph,3130 and he was a prosperous6743 man;376 and he was in the house1004 of his master113 the Egyptian.4713

3 And his master113 saw7200 that the LORD3068 was with him, and that the LORD3068 made all3605 that he did6213 to prosper6743 in his hand.3027

4 And Joseph3130 found4672 grace2580 in his sight,5869 and he served8334 him: and he made him overseer6485 over5921 his house,1004 and all3605 that he had3426 he put5414 into his hand.3027

5 And it came1961 to pass from the time that he had3426 made him overseer6485 in his house,1004 and over5921 all3605 that he had,3426 that the LORD3068 blessed1288 the Egyptian's4713 house1004 for Joseph's3130 sake;1558 and the blessing1293 of the LORD3068 was on all3605 that he had3426 in the house,1004 and in the field.7704

6 And he left5800 all3605 that he had in Joseph's3130 hand;3027 and he knew3045 not ought3972 he had, save3588 518 the bread3899 which834 he did eat.398 And Joseph3130 was a goodly3303 8389 person, and well3303 favored.4758

7 And it came1961 to pass after310 these428 things,1697 that his master's113 wife802 cast5375 her eyes5869 on Joseph;3130 and she said,559 Lie7901 with me.

8 But he refused,3985 and said559 to his master's113 wife,802 Behold,2005 my master113 wotteth3045 not what4100 is with me in the house,1004 and he has committed5414 all3605 that he has3426 to my hand;3027

9 There is none369 greater1419 in this2088 house1004 than4480 I; neither3808 has he kept2820 back2820 any3972 thing3972 from me but you, because834 you are his wife:802 how349 then can I do6213 this2063 great1419 wickedness,7451 and sin2398 against God?430

10 And it came1961 to pass, as she spoke1696 to Joseph3130 day3117 by day,3117 that he listened8085 not to her, to lie7901 by her, or to be with her.

11 And it came1961 to pass about this2088 time,3117 that Joseph went935 into the house1004 to do6213 his business;4399 and there was none369 of the men582 of the house1004 there8033 within.1004

12 And she caught8610 him by his garment,899 saying,559 Lie7901 with me: and he left5800 his garment899 in her hand,3027 and fled,5127 and got3318 him out.

13 And it came1961 to pass, when she saw7200 that he had left5800 his garment899 in her hand,3027 and was fled5127 forth,2351

14 That she called7121 to the men582 of her house,1004 and spoke559 to them, saying,559 See,7200 he has brought935 in an Hebrew5680 to us to mock6711 us; he came935 in to me to lie7901 with me, and I cried7121 with a loud1419 voice:6963

15 And it came1961 to pass, when he heard8085 that I lifted7311 up my voice6963 and cried,7121 that he left5800 his garment899 with me, and fled,5127 and got3318 him out.

16 And she laid5117 up his garment899 by her, until5704 his lord113 came935 home.1004

17 And she spoke1696 to him according to these428 words,1697 saying,559 The Hebrew5680 servant,5650 which834 you have brought935 to us, came935 in to me to mock6711 me:

18 And it came1961 to pass, as I lifted7311 up my voice6963 and cried,7121 that he left5800 his garment899 with me, and fled5127 out.

19 And it came1961 to pass, when his master113 heard8085 the words1697 of his wife,802 which834 she spoke1696 to him, saying,559 After this428 manner1697 did6213 your servant5650 to me; that his wrath639 was kindled.2734

20 And Joseph's3130 master113 took3947 him, and put5414 him into413 the prison,1004 5470 a place4725 where834 the king's4428 prisoners615 were bound:631 and he was there8033 in the prison.1004 5470

21 But the LORD3068 was with Joseph,3130 and showed5186 him mercy,2617 and gave5414 him favor2580 in the sight5869 of the keeper8269 of the prison.1004

22 And the keeper8269 of the prison1004 5470 committed5414 to Joseph's3130 hand3027 all3605 the prisoners615 that were in the prison;1004 5470 and whatever3605 834 they did6213 there,8033 he was the doer6213 of it.

23 The keeper8269 of the prison1004 5470 looked7200 not to any3972 thing3972 that was under his hand;3027 because834 the LORD3068 was with him, and that which834 he did,6213 the LORD3068 made it to prosper.6743

40

1 And it came1961 to pass after310 these428 things,1697 that the butler4945 of the king4428 of Egypt4714 and his baker644 had offended2398 their lord113 the king4428 of Egypt.4714

2 And Pharaoh6547 was wroth7107 against5921 two8147 of his officers,5631 against5921 the chief8269 of the butlers,4945 and against5921 the chief8269 of the bakers.644

3 And he put5414 them in ward4929 in the house1004 of the captain8269 of the guard,2876 into413 the prison,1004 5470 the place4725 where834 Joseph3130 was bound.631

4 And the captain8269 of the guard2876 charged6485 Joseph3130 with them, and he served8334 them: and they continued1961 a season3117 in ward.4929

5 And they dreamed2492 a dream2472 both8147 of them, each man376 his dream2472 in one259 night,3915 each man376 according to the interpretation6623 of his dream,2472 the butler4945 and the baker644 of the king4428 of Egypt,4714 which834 were bound631 in the prison.1004

6 And Joseph3130 came935 in to them in the morning,1242 and looked7200 on them, and, behold,2009 they were sad.2196

7 And he asked7592 Pharaoh's6547 officers5631 that were with him in the ward4929 of his lord's113 house,1004 saying,559 Why4069 look6440 you so sadly7451 to day?3117

8 And they said559 to him, We have dreamed2492 a dream,2472 and there is no369 interpreter6622 of it. And Joseph3130 said559 to them, Do not interpretations6623 belong to God?430 tell5608 me them, I pray4994 you.

9 And the chief8269 butler4945 told5608 his dream2472 to Joseph,3130 and said559 to him, In my dream,2472 behold,2009 a vine1612 was before6440 me;

10 And in the vine1612 were three7969 branches:8299 and it was as though it budded,6524 and her blossoms5322 shot5927 forth; and the clusters811 thereof brought1310 forth1310 ripe1310 grapes:6025

11 And Pharaoh's6547 cup3563 was in my hand:3027 and I took3947 the grapes,6025 and pressed7818 them into413 Pharaoh's6547 cup,3563 and I gave5414 the cup3563 into5921 Pharaoh's6547 hand.3709

12 And Joseph3130 said559 to him, This2088 is the interpretation6623 of it: The three7969 branches8299 are three7969 days:3117

13 Yet5750 within three7969 days3117 shall Pharaoh6547 lift5375 up your head,7218 and restore7725 you to your place:3653 and you shall deliver5414 Pharaoh's6547 cup3563 into his hand,3027 after the former7223 manner4941 when834 you were1961 his butler.4945

14 But think2142 on me when834 it shall be well3190 with you, and show6213 kindness,2617 I pray4994 you, to me, and make mention2142 of me to Pharaoh,6547 and bring3318 me out of this2088 house:1004

15 For indeed I was stolen1589 away out of the land776 of the Hebrews:5680 and here6311 also1571 have I done6213 nothing3808 3972 that they should put7760 me into the dungeon.953

16 When the chief8269 baker644 saw7200 that the interpretation6623 was good,2896 he said559 to Joseph,3130 I also637 was in my dream,2472 and, behold,2009 I had three7969 white2751 baskets5536 on5921 my head:7218

17 And in the uppermost5945 basket5536 there was of all3605 manner of bakemeats3978 for Pharaoh;6547 and the birds5775 did eat398 them out of the basket5536 on my head.7218

18 And Joseph3130 answered6030 and said,559 This2088 is the interpretation6623 thereof: The three7969 baskets5536 are three7969 days:3117

19 Yet5750 within three7969 days3117 shall Pharaoh6547 lift5375 up your head7218 from off5921 you, and shall hang8518 you on5921 a tree;6086 and the birds5775 shall eat398 your flesh1320 from off5921 you.

20 And it came1961 to pass the third7992 day,3117 which was Pharaoh's6547 birthday,3117 3205 that he made6213 a feast4960 to all3605 his servants:5650 and he lifted5375 up the head7218 of the chief8269 butler4945 and of the chief8269 baker644 among8432 his servants.5650

21 And he restored7725 the chief8269 butler4945 to his butlership4945 again;7725 and he gave5414 the cup3563 into5921 Pharaoh's6547 hand:3709

22 But he hanged8518 the chief8269 baker:644 as Joseph3130 had interpreted6622 to them.

23 Yet did not the chief8269 butler4945 remember2142 Joseph,3130 but forgot7911 him.

41

1 And it came1961 to pass at the end7093 of two full3117 years,8141 that Pharaoh6547 dreamed:2492 and, behold,2009 he stood5975 by the river.2975

2 And, behold,2009 there came5927 up out of the river2975 seven7651 well3303 favored4758 cows6510 and fat;1277 and they fed7462 in a meadow.260

3 And, behold,2009 seven7651 other312 cows6510 came5927 up after310 them out of the river,2975 ill7451 favored4758 and skinney;1851 1320 and stood5975 by the other cows6510 on the brink8193 of the river.2975

4 And the ill7451 favored4758 and skinney1851 1320 cows6510 did eat398 up the seven7651 well3303 favored4758 and fat1277 cows.6510 So Pharaoh6547 awoke.3364

5 And he slept3462 and dreamed2492 the second8145 time: and, behold,2009 seven7651 ears7641 of corn came5927 up on one259 stalk,7070 rank1277 and good.2896

6 And, behold,2009 seven7651 thin1851 ears7641 and blasted7710 with the east6921 wind sprung6779 up after310 them.

7 And the seven thin1851 ears7641 devoured1104 the seven7651 rank1277 and full4392 ears.7641 And Pharaoh6547 awoke,3364 and, behold,2009 it was a dream.2472

8 And it came1961 to pass in the morning1242 that his spirit7307 was troubled;6470 and he sent7971 and called7121 for all3605 the magicians2748 of Egypt,4714 and all3605 the wise2450 men thereof: and Pharaoh6547 told5608 them his dream;2472 but there was none369 that could interpret6622 them to Pharaoh.6547

9 Then spoke1696 the chief8269 butler4945 to Pharaoh,6547 saying,559 I do remember2142 my faults2399 this day:3117

10 Pharaoh6547 was wroth7107 with his servants,5650 and put5414 me in ward4929 in the captain8269 of the guard's2876 house,1004 both me and the chief8269 baker:644

11 And we dreamed2492 a dream2472 in one259 night,3915 I and he; we dreamed2492 each man376 according to the interpretation6623 of his dream.2472

12 And there8033 was there with us a young5288 man,376 an Hebrew,5680 servant5650 to the captain8269 of the guard;2876 and we told5608 him, and he interpreted6622 to us our dreams;2472 to each man376 according to his dream2472 he did interpret.6622

13 And it came1961 to pass, as he interpreted6622 to us, so3651 it was; me he restored7725 to my office,3653 and him he hanged.8518

14 Then Pharaoh6547 sent7971 and called7121 Joseph,3130 and they brought7323 him hastily7323 out of the dungeon:953 and he shaved1548 himself, and changed2498 his raiment,8071 and came935 in to Pharaoh.6547

15 And Pharaoh6547 said559 to Joseph,3130 I have dreamed2492 a dream,2472 and there is none369 that can interpret6622 it: and I have heard8085 say559 of you, that you can understand8085 a dream2472 to interpret6622 it.

16 And Joseph3130 answered6030 Pharaoh,6547 saying,559 It is not in me: God430 shall give Pharaoh6547 an answer6030 of peace.7965

17 And Pharaoh6547 said1696 to Joseph,3130 In my dream,2472 behold,2005 I stood5975 on the bank8193 of the river:2975

18 And, behold,2009 there came5927 up out of the river2975 seven7651 cows,6510 fat1277 and well3303 favored;8389 and they fed7462 in a meadow:260

19 And, behold,2009 seven7651 other312 cows6510 came5927 up after310 them, poor1800 and very3966 ill7451 favored8389 and skinney,7534 such2007 as I never3808 saw7200 in all3605 the land776 of Egypt4714 for badness:7455

20 And the lean7534 and the ill7451 favored cows6510 did eat398 up the first7223 seven7651 fat1277 cows:6510

21 And when they had eaten935 them up, it could not be known3045 that they had eaten935 them; but they were still ill7451 favored, as at the beginning.8462 So I awoke.3364

22 And I saw7200 in my dream,2472 and, behold,2009 seven7651 ears7641 came5927 up in one259 stalk,7070 full4392 and good:2896

23 And, behold,2009 seven7651 ears,7641 withered,6798 thin,1851 and blasted7710 with the east6921 wind, sprung6779 up after310 them:

24 And the thin1851 ears7641 devoured1104 the seven7651 good2896 ears:7641 and I told559 this to the magicians;2748 but there was none369 that could declare5046 it to me.

25 And Joseph3130 said559 to Pharaoh,6547 The dream2472 of Pharaoh6547 is one:259 God430 has showed5046 Pharaoh6547 what853 834 he is about to do.6213

26 The seven7651 good2896 cows6510 are seven7651 years;8141 and the seven7651 good2896 ears7641 are seven7651 years:8141 the dream2472 is one.259

27 And the seven7651 thin7534 and ill7451 favored cows6510 that came5927 up after310 them are seven7651 years;8141 and the seven7651 empty7386 ears7641 blasted7710 with the east6921 wind shall be seven7651 years8141 of famine.7458

28 This1931 is the thing1697 which834 I have spoken1696 to Pharaoh:6547 What834 God430 is about to do6213 he shows7200 to Pharaoh.6547

29 Behold,2009 there come935 seven7651 years8141 of great1419 plenty7647 throughout all3605 the land776 of Egypt:4714

30 And there shall arise6965 after310 them seven7651 years8141 of famine;7458 and all3605 the plenty7647 shall be forgotten7911 in the land776 of Egypt;4714 and the famine7458 shall consume3615 the land;776

31 And the plenty7647 shall not be known3045 in the land776 by reason6440 of that famine7458 following;310 3651 for it shall be very3966 grievous.3515

32 And for that the dream2472 was doubled8138 to Pharaoh6547 twice;6471 it is because3588 the thing1697 is established3559 by God,430 and God430 will shortly4116 bring6213 it to pass.6213

33 Now therefore let Pharaoh6547 look7200 out a man376 discreet995 and wise,2450 and set7896 him over5921 the land776 of Egypt.4714

34 Let Pharaoh6547 do6213 this, and let him appoint6485 officers6496 over5921 the land,776 and take up the fifth2567 part of the land776 of Egypt4714 in the seven7651 plenteous7647 years.8141

35 And let them gather6908 all3605 the food400 of those428 good2896 years8141 that come,935 and lay6651 up corn1250 under8478 the hand3027 of Pharaoh,6547 and let them keep8104 food400 in the cities.5892

36 And that food400 shall be for store6487 to the land776 against the seven7651 years8141 of famine,7458 which834 shall be in the land776 of Egypt;4714 that the land776 perish3772 not through the famine.7458

37 And the thing1697 was good3190 in the eyes5869 of Pharaoh,6547 and in the eyes5869 of all3605 his servants.5650

38 And Pharaoh6547 said559 to his servants,5650 Can we find4672 such a one as this2088 is, a man376 in whom834 the Spirit7307 of God430 is?

39 And Pharaoh6547 said559 to Joseph,3130 For as much310 as God430 has showed3045 you all3605 this,2063 there is none369 so discreet995 and wise2450 as you are:

40 You shall be over5921 my house,1004 and according5921 to your word6310 shall all3605 my people5971 be ruled:5401 only7535 in the throne3678 will I be greater1431 than you.

41 And Pharaoh6547 said559 to Joseph,3130 See,7200 I have set5414 you over5921 all3605 the land776 of Egypt.4714

42 And Pharaoh6547 took5493 off his ring2885 from his hand,3027 and put5414 it on Joseph's3130 hand,3027 and arrayed3847 him in clothing899 of fine linen,8336 and put7760 a gold2091 chain7242 about5921 his neck;6677

43 And he made him to ride7392 in the second4932 chariot4818 which834 he had; and they cried7121 before6440 him, Bow86 the knee: and he made5414 him ruler over5921 all3605 the land776 of Egypt.4714

44 And Pharaoh6547 said559 to Joseph,3130 I am Pharaoh,6547 and without1107 you shall no3808 man376 lift7311 up his hand3027 or foot7272 in all3605 the land776 of Egypt.4714

45 And Pharaoh6547 called7121 Joseph's3130 name8034 Zaphnathpaaneah;6847 and he gave5414 him to wife802 Asenath621 the daughter1323 of Potipherah6319 priest3548 of On.204 And Joseph3130 went3318 out over5921 all the land776 of Egypt.4714

46 And Joseph3130 was thirty7970 years8141 old1121 when he stood5975 before6440 Pharaoh6547 king4428 of Egypt.4714 And Joseph3130 went3318 out from the presence6440 of Pharaoh,6547 and went5674 throughout all3605 the land776 of Egypt.4714

47 And in the seven7651 plenteous7647 years8141 the earth776 brought6213 forth6213 by handfuls.7062

48 And he gathered6908 up all3605 the food400 of the seven7651 years,8141 which834 were in the land776 of Egypt,4714 and laid5414 up the food400 in the cities:5892 the food400 of the field,7704 which834 was round5439 about every city,5892 laid5414 he up in the same.

49 And Joseph3130 gathered6651 corn1250 as the sand2344 of the sea,3220 very3966 much,7235 until5704 he left2308 numbering;5608 for it was without369 number.4557

50 And to Joseph3130 were born3205 two8147 sons1121 before2962 the years8141 of famine7458 came,935 which834 Asenath621 the daughter1323 of Potipherah6319 priest3548 of On204 bore3205 to him.

51 And Joseph3130 called7121 the name8034 of the firstborn1060 Manasseh:4519 For God,430 said he, has made me forget5382 all3605 my toil,5999 and all3605 my father's1 house.1004

52 And the name8034 of the second8145 called7121 he Ephraim:669 For God430 has caused me to be fruitful6509 in the land776 of my affliction.6040

53 And the seven7651 years8141 of plenty,7647 that was in the land776 of Egypt,4714 were ended.3615

54 And the seven7651 years8141 of dearth7458 began2490 to come,935 according as Joseph3130 had said:559 and the dearth7458 was in all3605 lands;776 but in all3605 the land776 of Egypt4714 there was bread.3899

55 And when all3605 the land776 of Egypt4714 was famished,7456 the people5971 cried6817 to Pharaoh6547 for bread:3899 and Pharaoh6547 said559 to all3605 the Egyptians,4714 Go3212 to Joseph;3130 what834 he said559 to you, do.6213

56 And the famine7458 was over5921 all3605 the face6440 of the earth:776 and Joseph3130 opened6605 all3605 the storehouses,834 and sold7666 to the Egyptians;4714 and the famine7458 waxed sore2388 in the land776 of Egypt.4714

57 And all3605 countries776 came935 into Egypt4714 to Joseph3130 for to buy7666 corn; because3588 that the famine7458 was so sore2388 in all3605 lands.776

42

1 Now when Jacob3290 saw7200 that there was corn7668 in Egypt,4714 Jacob3290 said559 to his sons,1121 Why4100 do you look7200 one on another?

2 And he said,559 Behold,2009 I have heard8085 that there is corn7668 in Egypt:4714 get3381 you down3381 thither,8033 and buy7666 for us from there;8033 that we may live,2421 and not die.4191

3 And Joseph's3130 ten6235 brothers251 went3381 down3381 to buy7666 corn1250 in Egypt.4714

4 But Benjamin,1144 Joseph's3130 brother,251 Jacob3290 sent7971 not with his brothers;251 for he said,559 Lest6435 peradventure mischief611 befall7122 him.

5 And the sons1121 of Israel3478 came935 to buy7666 corn among8432 those that came:935 for the famine7458 was in the land776 of Canaan.3667

6 And Joseph3130 was the governor7989 over5921 the land,776 and he it was that sold7666 to all3605 the people5971 of the land:776 and Joseph's3130 brothers251 came,935 and bowed7812 down7812 themselves before him with their faces639 to the earth.776

7 And Joseph3130 saw7200 his brothers,251 and he knew5234 them, but made himself strange5234 to them, and spoke1696 roughly7186 to them; and he said559 to them, From where370 come935 you? And they said,559 From the land776 of Canaan3667 to buy7666 food.400

8 And Joseph3130 knew5234 his brothers,251 but they knew5234 not him.

9 And Joseph3130 remembered2142 the dreams2472 which834 he dreamed2492 of them, and said559 to them, You are spies;7270 to see7200 the nakedness6172 of the land776 you are come.935

10 And they said559 to him, No,3808 my lord,113 but to buy7666 food400 are your servants5650 come.935

11 We are all3605 one259 man's376 sons;1121 we are true3651 men, your servants5650 are no3808 spies.7270

12 And he said559 to them, No,3808 but to see7200 the nakedness6172 of the land776 you are come.935

13 And they said,559 Your servants5650 are twelve8147 6240 brothers,251 the sons1121 of one259 man376 in the land776 of Canaan;3667 and, behold,2009 the youngest6996 is this day3117 with our father,1 and one259 is not.

14 And Joseph3130 said559 to them, That is it that I spoke1696 to you, saying,559 You are spies:7270

15 Hereby2063 you shall be proved:974 By the life2416 of Pharaoh6547 you shall not go3318 forth3318 hence,2088 except518 your youngest6996 brother251 come935 here.

16 Send7971 one259 of you, and let him fetch3947 your brother,251 and you shall be kept631 in prison, that your words1697 may be proved,974 whether there be any truth571 in you: or else518 3808 by the life2416 of Pharaoh6547 surely you are spies.7270

17 And he put622 them all622 together into413 ward4929 three7969 days.3117

18 And Joseph3130 said559 to them the third7992 day,3117 This2063 do,6213 and live;2421 for I fear3373 God:430

19 If518 you be true3651 men, let one259 of your brothers251 be bound631 in the house1004 of your prison:4929 go3212 you, carry935 corn7668 for the famine7459 of your houses:1004

20 But bring935 your youngest6996 brother251 to me; so shall your words1697 be verified,539 and you shall not die.4191 And they did6213 so.3651

21 And they said559 one376 to another,251 We are truly61 guilty816 concerning5921 our brother,251 in that we saw7200 the anguish6869 of his soul,5315 when he sought2603 us, and we would not hear;8085 therefore5921 3651 is this2063 distress6869 come935 on us.

22 And Reuben7205 answered6030 them, saying,559 Spoke559 I not to you, saying,559 Do not sin2398 against the child;3206 and you would not hear?8085 therefore,1571 behold,2009 also1571 his blood1818 is required.1875

23 And they knew3045 not that Joseph3130 understood8085 them; for he spoke to them by an interpreter.3887

24 And he turned5437 himself about from them, and wept;1058 and returned7725 to them again,7725 and communed1696 with them, and took3947 from them Simeon,8095 and bound631 him before their eyes.5869

25 Then Joseph3130 commanded6680 to fill4390 their sacks8242 with corn,1250 and to restore7725 every man's376 money3701 into413 his sack,8242 and to give5414 them provision6720 for the way:1870 and thus3651 did6213 he to them.

26 And they laded5375 their asses2543 with the corn,7668 and departed3212 there.8033

27 And as one259 of them opened6605 his sack8242 to give5414 his ass2543 provender4554 in the inn,4411 he espied7200 his money;3701 for, behold,2009 it was in his sack's572 mouth.6310

28 And he said559 to his brothers,251 My money3701 is restored;7725 and, see,2009 it is even in my sack:572 and their heart3820 failed3318 them, and they were afraid,2729 saying559 one376 to another,251 What4100 is this2063 that God430 has done6213 to us?

29 And they came935 to Jacob3290 their father1 to the land776 of Canaan,3667 and told5046 him all3605 that befell7136 to them; saying,559

30 The man,376 who is the lord113 of the land,776 spoke1696 roughly7186 to us, and took5414 us for spies7270 of the country.776

31 And we said559 to him, We are true3651 men; we are no3808 spies:7270

32 We be twelve8147 6240 brothers,251 sons1121 of our father;1 one259 is not, and the youngest6996 is this day3117 with our father1 in the land776 of Canaan.3667

33 And the man,376 the lord113 of the country,776 said559 to us, Hereby2063 shall I know3045 that you are true3651 men; leave5117 one259 of your brothers251 here with me, and take3947 food for the famine7459 of your households,1004 and be gone:3212

34 And bring935 your youngest6996 brother251 to me: then shall I know3045 that you are no3808 spies,7270 but that you are true3651 men: so will I deliver5414 you your brother,251 and you shall traffic5503 in the land.776

35 And it came1961 to pass as they emptied7324 their sacks,8242 that, behold,2009 every man's376 bundle6872 of money3701 was in his sack:8242 and when both they and their father1 saw7200 the bundles6872 of money,3701 they were afraid.3372

36 And Jacob3290 their father1 said559 to them, Me have you bereaved7921 of my children: Joseph3130 is not, and Simeon8095 is not, and you will take3947 Benjamin1144 away: all3605 these things are against5921 me.

37 And Reuben7205 spoke559 to his father,1 saying,559 Slay4191 my two8147 sons,1121 if I bring935 him not to you: deliver5414 him into5921 my hand,3027 and I will bring7725 him to you again.7725

38 And he said,559 My son1121 shall not go3381 down with you; for his brother251 is dead,4191 and he is left7604 alone:905 if mischief611 befall7122 him by the way1870 in the which834 you go,3212 then shall you bring3381 down3381 my gray7872 hairs with sorrow3015 to the grave.7585

43

1 And the famine7458 was sore3515 in the land.776

2 And it came1961 to pass, when834 they had eaten398 up the corn7668 which834 they had brought935 out of Egypt,4714 their father1 said559 to them, Go7725 again,7725 buy7666 us a little4592 food.400

3 And Judah3063 spoke559 to him, saying,559 The man376 did solemnly5749 protest5749 to us, saying,559 You shall not see7200 my face,6440 except1115 your brother251 be with you.

4 If518 you will send7971 our brother251 with us, we will go3381 down3381 and buy7666 you food:400

5 But if518 you will not send7971 him, we will not go3381 down:3381 for the man376 said559 to us, You shall not see7200 my face,6440 except1115 your brother251 be with you.

6 And Israel3478 said,559 Why4100 dealt you so ill7489 with me, as to tell5046 the man376 whether5750 you had yet5750 a brother?251

7 And they said,559 The man376 asked7592 us straightly of our state, and of our kindred,4138 saying,559 Is your father1 yet alive?2416 have3426 you another brother?251 and we told5046 him according5921 to the tenor6310 of these428 words:1697 could we certainly know3045 that he would say,559 Bring3381 your brother251 down?3381

8 And Judah3063 said559 to Israel3478 his father,1 Send7971 the lad5288 with me, and we will arise6965 and go;3212 that we may live,2421 and not die,4191 both1571 we, and you, and also1571 our little2945 ones.

9 I will be surety6148 for him; of my hand3027 shall you require1245 him: if518 I bring935 him not to you, and set3322 him before6440 you, then let me bear2398 the blame2398 for ever:3605

10 For except3884 we had lingered,4102 surely3588 now6258 we had returned7725 this2088 second time.6471

11 And their father1 Israel3478 said559 to them, If518 it must be so3651 now,645 do6213 this;2063 take3947 of the best2173 fruits2173 in the land776 in your vessels,3627 and carry3381 down3381 the man376 a present,4503 a little4592 balm,6875 and a little4592 honey,1706 spices,5219 and myrrh,3910 nuts,992 and almonds:8247

12 And take3947 double4932 money3701 in your hand;3027 and the money3701 that was brought7725 again7725 in the mouth6310 of your sacks,572 carry7725 it again7725 in your hand;3027 peradventure194 it was an oversight:4870

13 Take3947 also your brother,251 and arise,6965 go7725 again7725 to the man:376

14 And God410 Almighty7706 give5414 you mercy7356 before6440 the man,376 that he may send7971 away your other312 brother,251 and Benjamin.1144 If834 I be bereaved7921 of my children, I am bereaved.7921

15 And the men582 took3947 that present,4503 and they took3947 double4932 money3701 in their hand 3027and Benjamin;1144 and rose6965 up, and went3381 down3381 to Egypt,4714 and stood5975 before6440 Joseph.3130

16 And when Joseph3130 saw7200 Benjamin1144 with them, he said559 to the ruler834 5921 of his house,1004 Bring935 these men582 home,1004 and slay,2874 and make ready;3559 for these men582 shall dine398 with me at noon.6672

17 And the man376 did6213 as Joseph3130 bade;559 and the man376 brought935 the men582 into Joseph's3130 house.1004

18 And the men582 were afraid,3372 because3588 they were brought935 into Joseph's3130 house;1004 and they said,559 Because5921 1697 of the money3701 that was returned7725 in our sacks572 at the first8462 time8462 are we brought935 in; that he may seek1556 occasion1556 against5921 us, and fall5307 on us, and take3947 us for slaves,5650 and our asses.2543

19 And they came5066 near5066 to the steward376 of Joseph's3130 house,1004 and they communed1696 with him at the door6607 of the house,1004

20 And said,559 O sir,113 we came3381 indeed down3381 at the first8462 time8462 to buy7666 food:400

21 And it came1961 to pass, when3588 we came935 to the inn,4411 that we opened6605 our sacks,572 and, behold,2009 every man's376 money3701 was in the mouth6310 of his sack,572 our money3701 in full weight:4948 and we have brought7725 it again7725 in our hand.3027

22 And other312 money3701 have we brought3381 down3381 in our hands3027 to buy7666 food:400 we cannot3808 tell3045 who4310 put7760 our money3701 in our sacks.572

23 And he said,559 Peace7965 be to you, fear3372 not: your God,430 and the God430 of your father,1 has given5414 you treasure4301 in your sacks:572 I had935 your money.3701 And he brought3318 Simeon8095 out to them.

24 And the man376 brought935 the men582 into Joseph's3130 house,1004 and gave5414 them water,4325 and they washed7364 their feet;7272 and he gave5414 their asses2543 provender.4554

25 And they made ready3559 the present4503 against5704 Joseph3130 came935 at noon:6672 for they heard8085 that they should eat398 bread3899 there.8033

26 And when Joseph3130 came935 home,1004 they brought935 him the present4503 which834 was in their hand3027 into the house,1004 and bowed7812 themselves to him to the earth.776

27 And he asked7592 them of their welfare,7965 and said,559 Is your father1 well,7965 the old2205 man of whom834 you spoke?559 Is he yet5750 alive?2416

28 And they answered,559 Your servant5650 our father1 is in good7965 health,7965 he is yet5750 alive.2416 And they bowed6915 down6915 their heads, and made obeisance.7812

29 And he lifted5375 up his eyes,5869 and saw7200 his brother251 Benjamin,1144 his mother's517 son,1121 and said,559 Is this2088 your younger6996 brother,251 of whom834 you spoke559 to me? And he said,559 God430 be gracious2603 to you, my son.1121

30 And Joseph3130 made haste;4116 for his bowels7356 did yearn3648 on his brother:251 and he sought1245 where to weep;1058 and he entered935 into his chamber,2315 and wept1058 there.8033

31 And he washed7364 his face,6440 and went3318 out, and refrained662 himself, and said,559 Set7760 on bread.3899

32 And they set7760 on for him by himself, and for them by themselves,905 and for the Egyptians,4713 which did eat398 with him, by themselves:905 because3588 the Egyptians4713 might3201 not eat398 bread3899 with the Hebrews;5680 for that is an abomination8441 to the Egyptians.4714

33 And they sat3427 before6440 him, the firstborn1060 according to his birthright,1062 and the youngest6810 according to his youth:6812 and the men582 marveled8539 one376 at413 another.7453

34 And he took5375 and sent7971 messes4864 to them from before6440 him: but Benjamin's1144 mess4864 was five2568 times3027 so much7235 as any3605 of their's. And they drank,8354 and were merry7937 with him.

44

1 And he commanded6680 the steward834 5921 of his house,1004 saying,559 Fill4390 the men's582 sacks572 with food,400 as much834 as they can3201 carry,5375 and put7760 every man's376 money3701 in his sack's572 mouth.6310

2 And put7760 my cup,1375 the silver3701 cup,1375 in the sack's572 mouth6310 of the youngest,6996 and his corn7668 money.3701 And he did6213 according to the word1697 that Joseph3130 had spoken.1696

3 As soon as the morning1242 was light,216 the men582 were sent7971 away, they and their asses.2543

4 And when they were gone3318 out of the city,5892 and not yet far7368 off, Joseph3130 said559 to his steward,834 5921 Up, follow7291 after310 the men;582 and when you do overtake5381 them, say559 to them, Why4100 have you rewarded7999 evil7451 for good?2896

5 Is not this2088 it in which834 my lord113 drinks,8354 and whereby indeed he divines?5172 you have done evil7489 in so834 doing.6213

6 And he overtook5381 them, and he spoke1696 to them these411 same words.1697

7 And they said559 to him, Why4100 said1696 my lord113 these428 words?1697 God forbid2486 that your servants5650 should do6213 according to this2088 thing:1697

8 Behold,2005 the money,3701 which834 we found4672 in our sacks' 572mouths,6310 we brought7725 again7725 to you out of the land776 of Canaan:3667 how349 then should we steal1589 out of your lord's113 house1004 silver3701 or176 gold?2091

9 With whomsoever834 of your servants5650 it be found,4672 both let him die,4191 and we also1571 will be my lord's113 slaves.5650

10 And he said,559 Now6258 also1571 let it be according to your words:1697 he with whom834 it is found4672 shall be my servant;5650 and you shall be blameless.5355

11 Then they speedily4116 took3381 down3381 every man376 his sack572 to the ground,776 and opened6605 every man376 his sack.572

12 And he searched,2664 and began2490 at the oldest,1419 and left3615 at the youngest:6996 and the cup1375 was found4672 in Benjamin's1144 sack.572

13 Then they rent7167 their clothes,8071 and laded6006 every man376 his ass,2543 and returned7725 to the city.5892

14 And Judah3063 and his brothers251 came935 to Joseph's3130 house;1004 for he was yet5750 there:8033 and they fell5307 before6440 him on the ground.776

15 And Joseph3130 said559 to them, What4100 deed4639 is this2088 that you have done?6213 know3045 you not that such a man376 as I can certainly divine?5172

16 And Judah3063 said,559 What4100 shall we say559 to my lord?113 what4100 shall we speak?1696 or how4100 shall we clear6663 ourselves? God430 has found4672 out the iniquity5771 of your servants:5650 behold,2009 we are my lord's113 servants,5650 both1571 we, and he also1571 with whom834 the cup1375 is found.4672

17 And he said,559 God forbid2486 that I should do6213 so:2063 but the man376 in whose hand3027 the cup1375 is found,4672 he shall be my servant;5650 and as for you, get5927 you up in peace7965 to your father.1

18 Then Judah3063 came5066 near5066 to him, and said,559 Oh994 my lord,113 let your servant,5650 I pray4994 you, speak1696 a word1697 in my lord's113 ears,241 and let not your anger639 burn2734 against your servant:5650 for you are even as Pharaoh.6547

19 My lord113 asked7592 his servants,5650 saying,559 Have3426 you a father,1 or176 a brother?251

20 And we said559 to my lord,113 We have3426 a father,1 an old2205 man,376 and a child3206 of his old2208 age, a little6996 one; and his brother251 is dead,4191 and he alone905 is left3498 of his mother,517 and his father1 loves157 him.

21 And you said559 to your servants,5650 Bring3381 him down3381 to me, that I may set7760 my eyes5869 on him.

22 And we said559 to my lord,113 The lad5288 cannot3808 3201 leave5800 his father:1 for if he should leave5800 his father,1 his father would die.4191

23 And you said559 to your servants,5650 Except518 3808 your youngest6996 brother251 come3381 down3381 with you, you shall see7200 my face6440 no3808 more.3254

24 And it came1961 to pass when3588 we came5927 up to your servant5650 my father,1 we told5046 him the words1697 of my lord.113

25 And our father1 said,559 Go7725 again,7725 and buy7666 us a little4592 food.400

26 And we said,559 We cannot3808 3201 go3381 down:3381 if518 our youngest6996 brother251 be with us, then will we go3381 down:3381 for we may3201 not see7200 the man's376 face,6440 except369 our youngest6996 brother251 be with us.

27 And your servant5650 my father1 said559 to us, You know3045 that my wife802 bore3205 me two8147 sons:

28 And the one259 went3318 out from me, and I said,559 Surely389 he is torn2963 in pieces; and I saw7200 him not since:2008

29 And if518 you take3947 this2088 also1571 from me, and mischief611 befall7136 him, you shall bring3381 down3381 my gray7872 hairs with sorrow7451 to the grave.7585

30 Now6258 therefore when I come935 to your servant5650 my father,1 and the lad5288 be not with us; seeing that his life5315 is bound7194 up in the lad's5288 life;5315

31 It shall come1961 to pass, when he sees7200 that the lad5288 is not with us, that he will die:4191 and your servants5650 shall bring3381 down3381 the gray7872 hairs of your servant5650 our father1 with sorrow3015 to the grave.7585

32 For your servant5650 became6148 surety6148 for the lad5288 to my father,1 saying,559 If518 I bring935 him not to you, then I shall bear2398 the blame2398 to my father1 for ever.3605

33 Now6258 therefore, I pray4994 you, let your servant5650 abide3427 instead8478 of the lad5288 a slave5650 to my lord;113 and let the lad5288 go5927 up with his brothers.251

34 For how349 shall I go5927 up to my father,1 and the lad5288 be not with me? lest6435 peradventure I see7200 the evil7451 that shall come4672 on my father.1

1 Then Joseph3130 could3201 not refrain662 himself before all3605 them that stood5324 by him; and he cried,7121 Cause every3605 man376 to go3318 out from me. And there stood5975 no3808 man376 with him, while Joseph3130 made himself known3045 to his brothers.251

2 And he wept5414(853) 6963 1065 aloud:6963 and the Egyptians4714 and the house1004 of Pharaoh6547 heard.8085

3 And Joseph3130 said559 to his brothers,251 I am Joseph;3130 does my father1 yet5750 live?2416 And his brothers251 could3201 not answer6030 him; for they were troubled926 at his presence.6440

4 And Joseph3130 said559 to his brothers,251 Come5066 near5066 to me, I pray4994 you. And they came5066 near.5066 And he said,559 I am Joseph3130 your brother,251 whom834 you sold4376 into Egypt.4714

5 Now6258 therefore be not grieved,6087 nor408 angry2734 with yourselves,5869 that you sold4376 me here: for God430 did send7971 me before6440 you to preserve4241 life.

6 For these2088 two years8141 has the famine7458 been in the land:776 and yet5750 there are five2568 years,8141 in the which834 there shall neither369 be ripening2758 nor harvest.7105

7 And God430 sent7971 me before6440 you to preserve7760 you a posterity7611 in the earth,776 and to save2421 your lives2421 by a great1419 deliverance.6413

8 So now6258 it was not you that sent7971 me here, but God:430 and he has made7760 me a father1 to Pharaoh,6547 and lord113 of all3605 his house,1004 and a ruler4910 throughout all3605 the land776 of Egypt.4714

9 Haste4116 you, and go5927 up to my father,1 and say559 to him, Thus3541 said559 your son1121 Joseph,3130 God430 has made7760 me lord113 of all3605 Egypt:4714 come3381 down3381 to me, tarry5975 not:

10 And you shall dwell3427 in the land776 of Goshen,1657 and you shall be near7138 to me, you, and your children,1121 and your children's1121 children,1121 and your flocks,6629 and your herds,1241 and all3605 that you have:

11 And there8033 will I nourish3557 you; for yet5750 there are five2568 years8141 of famine;7458 lest6435 you, and your household,1004 and all3605 that you have, come to poverty.3423

12 And, behold,2009 your eyes5869 see,7200 and the eyes5869 of my brother251 Benjamin,1144 that it is my mouth6310 that speaks1696 to you.

13 And you shall tell5046 my father1 of all3605 my glory3519 in Egypt,4714 and of all3605 that you have seen;7200 and you shall haste4116 and bring3381 down3381 my father here.

14 And he fell5307 on his brother251 Benjamin's1144 neck,6677 and wept;1058 and Benjamin1144 wept1058 on his neck.6677

15 Moreover he kissed5401 all3605 his brothers,251 and wept1058 on them: and after310 that his brothers251 talked1696 with him.

16 And the fame6963 thereof was heard8085 in Pharaoh's6547 house,1004 saying,559 Joseph's3130 brothers251 are come:935 and it pleased3190 5869 Pharaoh6547 well, and his servants.5650

17 And Pharaoh6547 said559 to Joseph,3130 Say559 to your brothers,251 This2063 do6213 you; lade2943 your beasts,1165 and go,3212 get935 you to the land776 of Canaan;3667

18 And take3947 your father1 and your households,1004 and come935 to me: and I will give5414 you the good2898 of the land776 of Egypt,4714 and you shall eat398 the fat2459 of the land.776

19 Now you are commanded,6680 this2063 do6213 you; take3947 you wagons5699 out of the land776 of Egypt4714 for your little2945 ones, and for your wives,802 and bring5375 your father,1 and come.935

20 Also regard5869 not your stuff;3627 for the good2898 of all3605 the land776 of Egypt4714 is your's.

21 And the children1121 of Israel3478 did6213 so:3651 and Joseph3130 gave5414 them wagons,5699 according5921 to the commandment6310 of Pharaoh,6547 and gave5414 them provision6720 for the way.1870

22 To all3605 of them he gave5414 each man376 changes2487 of raiment;8071 but to Benjamin1144 he gave5414 three7969 hundred3967 pieces of silver,3701 and five2568 changes2487 of raiment.8071

23 And to his father1 he sent7971 after this2063 manner; ten6235 asses2543 laden5375 with the good2898 things of Egypt,4714 and ten6235 she asses860 laden5375 with corn1250 and bread3899 and meat4202 for his father1 by the way.1870

24 So he sent7971 his brothers251 away, and they departed:3212 and he said559 to them, See that you fall7264 not out by the way.1870

25 And they went5927 up out of Egypt,4714 and came935 into the land776 of Canaan3667 to Jacob3290 their father,1

26 And told5046 him, saying,559 Joseph3130 is yet5750 alive,2416 and he is governor4910 over all3605 the land776 of Egypt.4714 And Jacob's heart3820 fainted,6313 for he believed539 them not.

27 And they told1696 him all3605 the words1697 of Joseph,3130 which834 he had said1697 to them: and when he saw7200 the wagons5699 which834 Joseph3130 had sent7971 to carry5375 him, the spirit7307 of Jacob3290 their father1 revived:2421

28 And Israel3478 said,559 It is enough;7227 Joseph3130 my son1121 is yet5750 alive:2416 I will go3212 and see7200 him before2962 I die.4191

46

1 And Israel3478 took his journey5265 with all3605 that he had, and came935 to Beersheba,884 and offered2076 sacrifices2077 to the God430 of his father1 Isaac.3327

2 And God430 spoke559 to Israel3478 in the visions4759 of the night,3915 and said,559 Jacob,3290 Jacob.3290 And he said,559 Here2009 am I.

3 And he said,559 I am God,410 the God430 of your father:1 fear3372 not to go3381 down3381 into Egypt;4714 for I will there8033 make6213 of you a great1419 nation:1471

4 I will go3381 down3381 with you into Egypt;4714 and I will also1571 surely bring5927 you up again: and Joseph3130 shall put7896 his hand3027 on your eyes.5869

5 And Jacob3290 rose6965 up from Beersheba:884 and the sons1121 of Israel3478 carried5375 Jacob3290 their father,1 and their little2945 ones, and their wives,802 in the wagons5699 which834 Pharaoh6547 had sent7971 to carry5375 him.

6 And they took3947 their cattle,4735 and their goods,7399 which834 they had gotten7408 in the land776 of Canaan,3667 and came935 into Egypt,4714 Jacob,3290 and all3605 his seed2233 with him:

7 His sons,1121 and his sons'1121 sons1121 with him, his daughters,1323 and his sons'1121 daughters,1323 and all his seed2233 brought935 he with him into Egypt.4714

8 And these428 are the names8034 of the children1121 of Israel,3478 which came935 into Egypt,4714 Jacob3290 and his sons:1121 Reuben,7205 Jacob's3290 firstborn.1060

9 And the sons1121 of Reuben;7205 Hanoch,2585 and Phallu,6396 and Hezron,2696 and Carmi.3756

11 And the sons1121 of Levi;3878 Gershon,1647 Kohath,6955 and Merari.4847

12 And the sons1121 of Judah;3063 Er,6147 and Onan,209 and Shelah,7956 and Pharez,6557 and Zarah:2226 but Er6147 and Onan209 died4191 in the land776 of Canaan.3667 And the sons1121 of Pharez6557 were Hezron2696 and Hamul.2538

13 And the sons1121 of Issachar;3485 Tola,8439 and Phuvah,6312 and Job,3102 and Shimron.8110

14 And the sons1121 of Zebulun;2074 Sered,5624 and Elon,356 and Jahleel.3177

15 These428 be the sons1121 of Leah,3812 which834 she bore3205 to Jacob3290 in Padanaram,6307 with his daughter1323 Dinah:1783 all3605 the souls5315 of his sons1121 and his daughters1323 were thirty7970 and three.7969

16 And the sons1121 of Gad;1410 Ziphion,6837 and Haggi,2291 Shuni,7764 and Ezbon,675 Eri,6179 and Arodi,722 and Areli.692

17 And the sons1121 of Asher;836 Jimnah,3232 and Ishuah,3438 and Isui,3440 and Beriah,1283 and Serah8294 their sister:269 and the sons1121 of Beriah;1283 Heber,2268 and Malchiel.4439

18 These428 are the sons1121 of Zilpah,2153 whom834 Laban3837 gave5414 to Leah3812 his daughter,1323 and these428 she bore3205 to Jacob,3290 even sixteen8337 6240 souls.5315

19 The sons1121 of Rachel7354 Jacob's3290 wife;802 Joseph,3130 and Benjamin.1144

20 And to Joseph3130 in the land776 of Egypt4714 were born3205 Manasseh4519 and Ephraim,669 which834 Asenath621 the daughter1323 of Potipherah6319 priest3548 of On204 bore3205 to him.

21 And the sons1121 of Benjamin1144 were Belah,1106 and Becher,1071 and Ashbel,788 Gera,1617 and Naaman,5283 Ehi,278 and Rosh,7220 Muppim,4649 and Huppim,2650 and Ard.714

22 These428 are the sons1121 of Rachel,7354 which834 were born3205 to Jacob:3290 all3605 the souls5315 were fourteen.702

23 And the sons1121 of Dan;1835 Hushim.2366

24 And the sons1121 of Naphtali;5321 Jahzeel,3183 and Guni,1476 and Jezer,3337 and Shillem.8006

25 These428 are the sons1121 of Bilhah,1090 which834 Laban3837 gave5414 to Rachel7354 his daughter,1323 and she bore3205 these428 to Jacob:3290 all3605 the souls5315 were seven.7651

26 All3605 the souls5315 that came935 with Jacob3290 into Egypt,4714 which came3318 out of his loins,3409 besides905 Jacob's3290 sons' 1121wives,802 all3605 the souls5315 were three score8346 and six;8337

27 And the sons1121 of Joseph,3130 which834 were born3205 him in Egypt,4714 were two8147 souls:5315 all3605 the souls5315 of the house1004 of Jacob,3290 which came935 into Egypt,4714 were three score7657 and ten.

28 And he sent7971 Judah3063 before6440 him to Joseph,3130 to direct3384 his face6440 to Goshen;1657 and they came935 into the land776 of Goshen.1657

29 And Joseph3130 made ready631 his chariot,4818 and went5927 up to meet7125 Israel3478 his father,1 to Goshen,1657 and presented7200 himself to him; and he fell5307 on5921 his neck,6677 and wept1058 on5921 his neck6677 a good5750 while.5750

30 And Israel3478 said559 to Joseph,3130 Now6471 let me die,4191 since310 I have seen7200 your face,6440 because3588 you are yet5750 alive.2416

31 And Joseph3130 said559 to his brothers,251 and to his father's1 house,1004 I will go5927 up, and show5046 Pharaoh,6547 and say559 to him, My brothers,251 and my father's1 house,1004 which834 were in the land776 of Canaan,3667 are come935 to me;

32 And the men582 are shepherds,7462 6629 for their trade582 has been1961 to feed cattle;4735 and they have brought935 their flocks,6629 and their herds,1241 and all3605 that they have.

33 And it shall come1961 to pass, when3588 Pharaoh6547 shall call7121 you, and shall say,559 What4100 is your occupation?4639

34 That you shall say,559 Your servants' 5650trade582 has been1961 about cattle4735 from our youth5271 even until5704 now,6258 both1571 we, and also1571 our fathers:1 that you may dwell3427 in the land776 of Goshen;1657 for every3605 shepherd7462 6629 is an abomination8441 to the Egyptians.4714

47

1 Then Joseph3130 came935 and told5046 Pharaoh,6547 and said,559 My father1 and my brothers,251 and their flocks,6629 and their herds,1241 and all3605 that they have, are come935 out of the land776 of Canaan;3667 and, behold,2009 they are in the land776 of Goshen.1657

2 And he took3947 some7097 of his brothers,251 even five2568 men,582 and presented3322 them to Pharaoh.6547

3 And Pharaoh6547 said559 to his brothers,251 What4100 is your occupation?4639 And they said559 to Pharaoh,6547 Your servants5650 are shepherds,7462 6629 both1571 we, and also1571 our fathers.1

4 They said559 morever to Pharaoh,6547 For to sojourn1481 in the land776 are we come;935 for your servants5650 have no369 pasture4829 for their flocks;6629 for the famine7458 is sore3515 in the land776 of Canaan:3667 now6258 therefore, we pray4994 you, let your servants5650 dwell3427 in the land776 of Goshen.1657

5 And Pharaoh6547 spoke559 to Joseph,3130 saying,559 Your father1 and your brothers251 are come935 to you:

6 The land776 of Egypt4714 is before6440 you; in the best4315 of the land776 make your father1 and brothers251 to dwell;3427 in the land776 of Goshen1657 let them dwell:3427 and if518 you know3045 any men582 of activity2428 among them, then make7760 them rulers8269 over5921 my cattle.4735

7 And Joseph3130 brought935 in Jacob3290 his father,1 and set5975 him before6440 Pharaoh:6547 and Jacob3290 blessed1288 Pharaoh.6547

8 And Pharaoh6547 said559 to Jacob,3290 How4100 old3113 are you?

9 And Jacob3290 said559 to Pharaoh,6547 The days3117 of the years8141 of my pilgrimage4033 are an hundred3967 and thirty7970 years:8141 few4592 and evil7451 have the days3117 of the years8141 of my life2416 been,1961 and have not attained5381 to the days3117 of the years8141 of the life2416 of my fathers1 in the days3117 of their pilgrimage.4033

10 And Jacob3290 blessed1288 Pharaoh,6547 and went3318 out from before6440 Pharaoh.6547

11 And Joseph3130 placed3427 his father1 and his brothers,251 and gave5414 them a possession272 in the land776 of Egypt,4714 in the best4315 of the land,776 in the land776 of Rameses,7486 as Pharaoh6547 had commanded.6680

12 And Joseph3130 nourished3557 his father,1 and his brothers,251 and all3605 his father's1 household,1004 with bread,3899 according6310 to their families.2945

13 And there was no369 bread3899 in all3605 the land;776 for the famine7458 was very3966 sore,3515 so that the land776 of Egypt4714 and all the land776 of Canaan3667 fainted3856 by reason6440 of the famine.7458

14 And Joseph3130 gathered3950 up all3605 the money3701 that was found4672 in the land776 of Egypt,4714 and in the land776 of Canaan,3667 for the corn7668 which834 they bought:7666 and Joseph3130 brought935 the money3701 into Pharaoh's6547 house.1004

15 And when money3701 failed8552 in the land776 of Egypt,4714 and in the land776 of Canaan,3667 all3605 the Egyptians4714 came935 to Joseph,3130 and said,559 Give3051 us bread:3899 for why4100 should we die4191 in your presence?5048 for the money3701 fails.656

16 And Joseph3130 said,559 Give3051 your cattle;4735 and I will give5414 you for your cattle,4735 if518 money3701 fail.656

17 And they brought935 their cattle4735 to Joseph:3130 and Joseph3130 gave5414 them bread3899 in exchange for horses,5483 and for the flocks,6629 and for the cattle4735 of the herds,1241 and for the asses:2543 and he fed5095 them with bread3899 for all3605 their cattle4735 for that year.8141

18 When that year8141 was ended,8552 they came935 to him the second8145 year,8141 and said559 to him, We will not hide3582 it from my lord,113 how that our money3701 is spent;8552 my lord113 also has413 our herds4735 of cattle;929 there is not ought left7604 in the sight6440 of my lord,113 but our bodies,1472 and our lands:127

19 Why4100 shall we die4191 before your eyes,5869 both1571 we and our land?127 buy7069 us and our land127 for bread,3899 and we and our land127 will be servants5650 to Pharaoh:6547 and give5414 us seed,2233 that we may live,2421 and not die,4191 that the land127 be not desolate.3456

20 And Joseph3130 bought7069 all3605 the land127 of Egypt4714 for Pharaoh;6547 for the Egyptians4714 sold4376 every man376 his field,7704 because3588 the famine7458 prevailed2388 over5921 them: so the land776 became1961 Pharaoh's.6547

21 And as for the people,5971 he removed5674 them to cities5892 from one end7097 of the borders1366 of Egypt4714 even to the other end7097 thereof.

22 Only7535 the land127 of the priests3548 bought7069 he not; for the priests3548 had a portion2706 assigned them of Pharaoh,6547 and did eat398 their portion2706 which834 Pharaoh6547 gave5414 them: why5921 3651 they sold4376 not their lands.127

23 Then Joseph3130 said559 to the people,5971 Behold,2009 I have bought7069 you this day3117 and your land127 for Pharaoh:6547 see,1887 here is seed2233 for you, and you shall sow2232 the land.127

24 And it shall come1961 to pass in the increase,8393 that you shall give5414 the fifth2549 part to Pharaoh,6547 and four702 parts3027 shall be your own, for seed2233 of the field,7704 and for your food,400 and for them of your households,1004 and for food398 for your little2945 ones.

25 And they said,559 You have saved our lives:2421 let us find4672 grace2580 in the sight5869 of my lord,113 and we will be Pharaoh's6547 servants.5650

26 And Joseph3130 made7760 it a law2706 over5921 the land127 of Egypt4714 to this2088 day,3117 that Pharaoh6547 should have the fifth2569 part, except7535 the land127 of the priests3548 only,905 which became1961 not Pharaoh's.6547

27 And Israel3478 dwelled3427 in the land776 of Egypt,4714 in the country776 of Goshen;1657 and they had possessions270 therein, and grew,6509 and multiplied7235 exceedingly.3966

28 And Jacob3290 lived2421 in the land776 of Egypt4714 seventeen7651 6240 years:8141 so the whole age3117 of Jacob3290 was an hundred3967 forty705 and seven7651 years.8141

29 And the time3117 drew near7126 that Israel3478 must die:4191 and he called7121 his son1121 Joseph,3130 and said559 to him, If518 now4994 I have found4672 grace2580 in your sight,5869 put,7760 I pray4994 you, your hand3027 under8478 my thigh,3409 and deal6213 kindly2617 and truly571 with me; bury6912 me not, I pray4994 you, in Egypt:4714

30 But I will lie7901 with my fathers,1 and you shall carry5375 me out of Egypt,4714 and bury6912 me in their burial plot.6913 And he said,559 I will do6213 as you have said.1697

31 And he said,559 Swear7650 to me. And he swore7650 to him. And Israel3478 bowed7812 himself on the bed's4296 head.7218

48

1 And it came1961 to pass after310 these428 things,1697 that one told559 Joseph,3130 Behold,2009 your father1 is sick:2470 and he took3947 with him his two8147 sons,1121 Manasseh4519 and Ephraim.669

2 And one told5046 Jacob,3290 and said,559 Behold,2009 your son1121 Joseph3130 comes935 to you: and Israel3478 strengthened2388 himself, and sat3427 on the bed.4296

3 And Jacob3290 said559 to Joseph,3130 God410 Almighty7706 appeared7200 to me at Luz3870 in the land776 of Canaan,3667 and blessed1288 me,

4 And said559 to me, Behold,2005 I will make you fruitful,6509 and multiply7235 you, and I will make5414 of you a multitude6951 of people;5971 and will give5414 this2063 land776 to your seed2233 after310 you for an everlasting5769 possession.272

5 And now6258 your two8147 sons,1121 Ephraim669 and Manasseh,4519 which were born3205 to you in the land776 of Egypt4714 before5704 I came935 to you into Egypt,4714 are mine; as Reuben7205 and Simeon,8095 they shall be mine.

6 And your issue,4138 which834 you beget3205 after310 them, shall be yours, and shall be called7121 after5921 the name8034 of their brothers251 in their inheritance.5159

7 And as for me, when I came935 from Padan,6307 Rachel7354 died4191 by me in the land776 of Canaan3667 in the way,1870 when5750 yet5750 there was but a little3530 way776 to come935 to Ephrath:672 and I buried6912 her there8033 in the way1870 of Ephrath;672 the same1931 is Bethlehem.1035

8 And Israel3478 beheld7200 Joseph's3130 sons,1121 and said,559 Who4310 are these?428

9 And Joseph3130 said559 to his father,1 They are my sons,1121 whom834 God430 has given5414 me in this2088 place. And he said,559 Bring3947 them, I pray4994 you, to me, and I will bless1288 them.

10 Now the eyes5869 of Israel3478 were dim3513 for age,2207 so that he could3201 not see.7200 And he brought5066 them near5066 to him; and he kissed5401 them, and embraced2263 them.

11 And Israel3478 said559 to Joseph,3130 I had not thought6419 to see7200 your face:6440 and, see,2009 God430 has showed7200 me also1571 your seed.2233

12 And Joseph3130 brought3318 them out from between5973 his knees,1290 and he bowed7812 himself with his face639 to the earth.776

13 And Joseph3130 took3947 them both,8147 Ephraim669 in his right3225 hand3225 toward Israel's3478 left8040 hand,8040 and Manasseh4519 in his left8040 hand8040 toward Israel's3478 right3225 hand,3225 and brought5066 them near5066 to him.

14 And Israel3478 stretched7971 out his right3225 hand,3225 and laid7896 it on Ephraim's669 head,7218 who1931 was the younger,6810 and his left8040 hand8040 on Manasseh's4519 head,7218 guiding his hands3027 wittingly;7919 for Manasseh4519 was the firstborn.1060

15 And he blessed1288 Joseph,3130 and said,559 God,430 before6440 whom834 my fathers1 Abraham85 and Isaac3327 did walk,1980 the God430 which fed7462 me all my life long5750 to this2088 day,3117

16 The Angel4397 which redeemed1350 me from all3605 evil,7451 bless1288 the lads;5288 and let my name8034 be named7121 on them, and the name8034 of my fathers1 Abraham85 and Isaac;3327 and let them grow1711 into a multitude7230 in the middle7130 of the earth.776

17 And when Joseph3130 saw7200 that his father1 laid7896 his right3225 hand3027 on the head7218 of Ephraim,669 it displeased7489 5869 him: and he held8551 up his father's1 hand,3027 to remove5493 it from Ephraim's669 head7218 to Manasseh's4519 head.7218

18 And Joseph3130 said559 to his father,1 Not so,3651 my father:1 for this2088 is the firstborn;1060 put7760 your right3225 hand3225 on his head.7218

19 And his father1 refused,3985 and said,559 I know3045 it, my son,1121 I know3045 it: he also1571 shall become1961 a people,5971 and he also1571 shall be great:1431 but truly199 his younger6996 brother251 shall be greater1431 than he, and his seed2233 shall become1961 a multitude4393 of nations.1471

20 And he blessed1288 them that day,3117 saying,559 In you shall Israel3478 bless,1288 saying,559 God430 make6213 you as Ephraim669 and as Manasseh:4519 and he set7760 Ephraim669 before6440 Manasseh.4519

21 And Israel3478 said559 to Joseph,3130 Behold,2009 I die:4191 but God430 shall be with you, and bring7725 you again7725 to the land776 of your fathers.1

22 Moreover I have given5414 to you one259 portion7926 above5921 your brothers,251 which834 I took3947 out of the hand3027 of the Amorite567 with my sword2719 and with my bow.7198

49

1 And Jacob3290 called7121 to his sons,1121 and said,559 Gather622 yourselves together, that I may tell5046 you that which834 shall befall7122 you in the last319 days.3117

2 Gather6908 yourselves together, and hear,8085 you sons1121 of Jacob;3290 and listen8085 to Israel3478 your father.1

3 Reuben,7205 you are my firstborn,1060 my might,3581 and the beginning7225 of my strength,202 the excellency3499 of dignity,7613 and the excellency3499 of power:5794

4 Unstable6349 as water,4325 you shall not excel;3498 because3588 you went5927 up to your father's1 bed;4904 then227 defiled2490 you it: he went5927 up to my couch.3326

5 Simeon8095 and Levi3878 are brothers;251 instruments3627 of cruelty2555 are in their habitations.4380

6 O my soul,5315 come935 not you into their secret;5475 to their assembly,6951 my honor,3519 be not you united:3161 for in their anger639 they slew2026 a man,376 and in their self-will7522 they dig6131 down6131 a wall.7794

7 Cursed779 be their anger,639 for it was fierce;5794 and their wrath,5678 for it was cruel:7185 I will divide2505 them in Jacob,3290 and scatter6327 them in Israel.3478

8 Judah,3063 you are he whom your brothers251 shall praise:3034 your hand3027 shall be in the neck6203 of your enemies;341 your father's1 children1121 shall bow7812 down7812 before you.

9 Judah3063 is a lion's738 whelp:1482 from the prey,2964 my son,1121 you are gone5927 up: he stooped3766 down, he couched7257 as a lion,738 and as an old3833 lion;3833 who4310 shall rouse6965 him up?

10 The scepter7626 shall not depart5493 from Judah,3063 nor a lawgiver2710 from between996 his feet,7272 until5704 3588 Shiloh7886 come;935 and to him shall the gathering3349 of the people5971 be.

11 Binding631 his foal5895 to the vine,1612 and his ass's860 colt1121 to the choice8321 vine;8321 he washed3526 his garments3830 in wine,3196 and his clothes5497 in the blood1818 of grapes:6025

12 His eyes5869 shall be red2447 with wine,3196 and his teeth8127 white3836 with milk.2461

13 Zebulun2074 shall dwell7931 at the haven2348 of the sea;3220 and he shall be for an haven2348 of ships;591 and his border3411 shall be to Zidon.6721

14 Issachar3485 is a strong1634 ass2543 couching7257 down between996 two burdens:4942

15 And he saw7200 that rest4496 was good,2896 and the land776 that it was pleasant;5276 and bowed5186 his shoulder7926 to bear,5445 and became1961 a servant5647 to tribute.4522

16 Dan1835 shall judge1777 his people,5971 as one259 of the tribes7626 of Israel.3478

17 Dan1835 shall be a serpent5175 by the way,1870 an adder8207 in the path,734 that bites5391 the horse5483 heels,6119 so that his rider7392 shall fall5307 backward.268

18 I have waited6960 for your salvation,3444 O LORD.3068

19 Gad,1410 a troop1416 shall overcome1464 him: but he shall overcome1464 at the last.6119

20 Out of Asher836 his bread3899 shall be fat,8082 and he shall yield5414 royal4428 dainties.4574

21 Naphtali5321 is a hind355 let loose:7971 he gives5414 goodly8233 words.561

22 Joseph3130 is a fruitful6509 bough,1121 even a fruitful6509 bough1121 by a well;5869 whose branches1121 run6805 over5921 the wall:7791

23 The archers1167 2671 have sorely4843 grieved4843 him, and shot7232 at him, and hated7852 him:

24 But his bow7198 stayed3427 in strength,386 and the arms2220 of his hands3027 were made strong6339 by the hands3027 of the mighty46 God of Jacob;3290 (from there8033 is the shepherd,7462 the stone68 of Israel:3478)

25 Even by the God410 of your father,1 who shall help5826 you; and by the Almighty,7706 who shall bless1288 you with blessings1293 of heaven8064 above,5921 blessings1293 of the deep8415 that lies7257 under,8478 blessings1293 of the breasts,7699 and of the womb:7356

26 The blessings1293 of your father1 have prevailed1396 above5921 the blessings1293 of my progenitors2029 to the utmost bound8379 of the everlasting5769 hills:1389 they shall be on the head7218 of Joseph,3130 and on the crown6936 of the head6936 of him that was separate5139 from his brothers.251

27 Benjamin1144 shall shred2963 as a wolf:2061 in the morning1242 he shall devour398 the prey,5706 and at night6153 he shall divide2505 the spoil.7998

28 All3605 these428 are the twelve8147 6240 tribes7626 of Israel:3478 and this2063 is it that their father1 spoke1696 to them, and blessed1288 them; every one376 according834 to his blessing1293 he blessed1288 them.

29 And he charged6680 them, and said559 to them, I am to be gathered622 to my people:5971 bury6912 me with my fathers1 in the cave4631 that is in the field7704 of Ephron6085 the Hittite,2850

30 In the cave4631 that is in the field7704 of Machpelah,4375 which834 is before5921 6440 Mamre,4471 in the land776 of Canaan,3667 which834 Abraham85 bought7069 with the field7704 of Ephron6085 the Hittite2850 for a possession272 of a burial plot.6913

31 There8033 they buried6912 Abraham85 and Sarah8283 his wife;802 there8033 they buried6912 Isaac3327 and Rebekah7259 his wife;802 and there8033 I buried6912 Leah.3812

32 The purchase4735 of the field7704 and of the cave4631 that is therein was from the children1121 of Heth.2845

33 And when Jacob3290 had made an end3615 of commanding6680 his sons,1121 he gathered622 up his feet7272 into413 the bed,4296 and yielded1478 up the ghost,1478 and was gathered622 to his people.5971

50

1 And Joseph3130 fell5307 on his father's1 face,6440 and wept1058 on him, and kissed5401 him.

2 And Joseph3130 commanded6680 his servants5650 the physicians7495 to embalm2590 his father:1 and the physicians7495 embalmed2590 Israel.3478

3 And forty705 days3117 were fulfilled4390 for him; for so3651 are fulfilled4390 the days3117 of those which are embalmed:2590 and the Egyptians4714 mourned1058 for him three score7657 and ten days.3117

4 And when the days3117 of his mourning1086 were past,5674 Joseph3130 spoke1696 to the house1004 of Pharaoh,6547 saying,559 If518 now4994 I have found4672 grace2580 in your eyes,5869 speak,1696 I pray4994 you, in the ears241 of Pharaoh,6547 saying,559

5 My father1 made me swear,7650 saying,559 See,2009 I die:4191 in my grave6913 which834 I have dig3738 for me in the land776 of Canaan,3667 there8033 shall you bury6912 me. Now6258 therefore let me go5927 up, I pray4994 you, and bury6912 my father,1 and I will come7725 again.7725

6 And Pharaoh6547 said,559 Go5927 up, and bury6912 your father,1 according as he made you swear.7650

7 And Joseph3130 went5927 up to bury6912 his father:1 and with him went5927 up all3605 the servants5650 of Pharaoh,6547 the elders2205 of his house,1004 and all3605 the elders2205 of the land776 of Egypt,4714

8 And all3605 the house1004 of Joseph,3130 and his brothers,251 and his father's1 house:1004 only7535 their little2945 ones, and their flocks,6629 and their herds,1241 they left5800 in the land776 of Goshen.1657

9 And there went5927 up with him both1571 chariots7393 and horsemen:6571 and it was a very3966 great3515 company.4264

10 And they came935 to the threshing floor1637 of Atad,329 which834 is beyond5676 Jordan,3383 and there8033 they mourned5594 with a great1419 and very3966 sore3515 lamentation:4553 and he made6213 a mourning60 for his father1 seven7651 days.3117

11 And when the inhabitants3427 of the land,776 the Canaanites,3669 saw7200 the mourning60 in the floor1637 of Atad,329 they said,559 This2088 is a grievous3515 mourning60 to the Egyptians:4714 why5921 3651 the name8034 of it was called7121 Abelmizraim,67 which834 is beyond5676 Jordan.3383

12 And his sons1121 did6213 to him according3651 as he commanded6680 them:

13 For his sons1121 carried5375 him into the land776 of Canaan,3667 and buried6912 him in the cave4631 of the field7704 of Machpelah,4375 which834 Abraham85 bought7069 with the field7704 for a possession272 of a burial plot6913 of Ephron6085 the Hittite,2850 before5921 6440 Mamre.4471

14 And Joseph3130 returned7725 into Egypt,4714 he, and his brothers,251 and all3605 that went5927 up with him to bury6912 his father,1 after310 he had buried6912 his father.1

15 And when Joseph's3130 brothers251 saw7200 that their father1 was dead,4191 they said,559 Joseph3130 will peradventure3863 hate7852 us, and will certainly requite7725 us all3605 the evil7451 which834 we did1580 to him.

16 And they sent a messenger6680 to Joseph,3130 saying,559 Your father1 did command6680 before6440 he died,4194 saying,559

17 So3541 shall you say559 to Joseph,3130 Forgive,5375 I pray577 you now,4994 the trespass6588 of your brothers,251 and their sin;2403 for they did1580 to you evil:7451 and now,4994 we pray4994 you, forgive5375 the trespass6588 of the servants5650 of the God430 of your father.1 And Joseph3130 wept1058 when they spoke1696 to him.

18 And his brothers251 also1571 went3212 and fell5307 down before his face;6440 and they said,559 Behold,2009 we be your servants.5650

19 And Joseph3130 said559 to them, Fear3372 not: for am I in the place of God?430

20 But as for you, you thought2803 evil7451 against5921 me; but God430 meant2803 it to good,2896 to bring6213 to pass,6213 as it is this2088 day,3117 to save2421 much7227 people5971 alive.2421

21 Now6258 therefore fear3372 you not: I will nourish3557 you, and your little2945 ones. And he comforted5162 them, and spoke1696 kindly5921 3820 to them.

22 And Joseph3130 dwelled3427 in Egypt,4714 he, and his father's1 house:1004 and Joseph3130 lived2421 an hundred3967 and ten6235 years.8141

23 And Joseph3130 saw7200 Ephraim's669 children1121 of the third8029 generation: the children1121 also1571 of Machir4353 the son1121 of Manasseh4519 were brought3205 up on Joseph's3130 knees.1290

24 And Joseph3130 said559 to his brothers,251 I die:4191 and God430 will surely visit6485 you, and bring5927 you out of this2063 land776 to the land776 which834 he swore7650 to Abraham,85 to Isaac,3327 and to Jacob.3290

25 And Joseph3130 took an oath7650 of the children1121 of Israel,3478 saying,559 God430 will surely visit6485 you, and you shall carry5927 up my bones6106 from hence.2088

26 So Joseph3130 died,4191 being an hundred3967 and ten6235 years8141 old:1121 and they embalmed2590 him, and he was put3455 in a coffin727 in Egypt.4714
