 5 And Isaac <3327 Yitschaq > sent <7971 shalach > away Jacob

Laban <3837

Jacob's <3290

 6. When Esau <6215 <Esav > saw <7200 ra>ah > that Isaac <3327

blessed <1288 barak > Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, and sent <7971

he gave him a charge <6680 tsavah >, saying <0559 >amar >, Thou

shalt not

take <3947 laqach > a wife <0802 >ishshah > of the daughters

 7 And that Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > obeyed <8085 shama< > his

 8 And Esau <6215 <Esav > seeing <7200 ra>ah > that the

 9 Then went <3212 yalak > Esau <6215 <Esav > unto Ishmael <3458

 10. And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > went <3318 yatsa> > out from

Beersheba <0884

 11 And he lighted <6293 paga< > upon a certain place <4725

tarried <3885 luwn > there <8033 sham > all <3885 luwn > night,

because <3588

 12 And he dreamed <2492 chalam >, and behold <2009 hinneh > a

the top <7218

 13 And, behold <2009 hinneh >, the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > stood

 16. And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > awaked <3364 yaqats > out of his

sleep <8142

shehah >, and he said <0559 >amar >, Surely <0403 >aken > the

LORD <3068

 17 And he was afraid <3372 yare> >, and said <0559 >amar >, How

 18 And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > rose <7925 shakam > up early <7925

shakam > in

the morning <1242 boqer >, and took <3947 laqach > the stone

it up [for] a pillar <4676 matstsebah >, and poured <3332 yatsaq

 19 And he called <7121 qara> > the name <8034 shem > of that

that city

<5892 <iyr > [was called] Luz <3870 Luwz > at the first <7223

 20 And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > vowed <5087 nadar > a vow <5088

Genesis 29

 1. Then Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > went on his journey, and came

<3212 yalak >

into <0413 >el > the land <0776 >erets > of the people <1121 ben

 2 And he looked <7200 ra>ah >, and behold <2009 hinneh > a well

in the field <7704 sadeh >, and, lo <2009 hinneh >, there <8033

sham > [were]

three <7969 shalowsh > flocks <5739 <eder > of sheep <6629 tso>n

watered <8248

shaqah > the flocks <5739 <eder >: and a great <1419 gadowl >

stone <68>

[was] upon the well's <0875 @>er > mouth <6310 peh >.

 3 And thither <8033 sham > were all <3605 kol > the flocks

<5739 <eder >

gathered <0622 >acaph >: and they rolled <1556 galal > the stone

<68> from

the well's <0875 @>er > mouth <6310 peh >, and watered <8248

shaqah > the

sheep <6629 tso>n >, and put <7725 shuwb > the stone <68> again

<7725 shuwb >

upon the well's <0875 @>er > mouth <6310 peh > in his place

<4725 maqowm >.

 4 And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > said <0559 >amar > unto them, My

brethren <0251

<2771 Charan > [are] we.

 5 And he said <0559 >amar > unto them, Know <3045 yada< > ye

Laban <3837

Laban > the son <1121 ben > of Nahor <5152 Q@riyowth  Nachowr >?

And they

said <0559 >amar >, We know <3045 yada< > [him].

 6 And he said <0559 >amar > unto them, [Is] he well <7965

shalowm >? And

they said <0559 >amar >, [He is] well <7965 shalowm >: and,

behold <2009

hinneh >, Rachel <7354 Rachel > his daughter <1323 bath > cometh

<0935 bow> >

with the sheep <6629 tso>n >.

 7 And he said <0559 >amar >, Lo <2005 hen >, [it is] yet <5750

<owd > high

<1419 gadowl > day <3117 yowm >, neither <3808 lo> > [is it]

water <4325 mayim > ye the sheep <6629 tso>n >, and go <3212

yalak > [and]

feed <7462 ra<ah > [them].

 8 And they said <0559 >amar >, We cannot, until <5704 <ad > all

<3605 kol >

the flocks <5739 <eder > be gathered <0622 >acaph > together,

and [till] they

roll <1556 galal > the stone <68> from the well's <0875 @>er >

mouth <6310

peh >; then we water <4325 mayim > the sheep <6629 tso>n >.

 9. And while he yet <5750 <owd > spake <1696 dabar > with them,

Rachel <7354

Rachel > came <0935 bow> > with her father's <1> sheep <6629

kept <7462 ra<ah > them.

 10 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when <0834 >aher > Jacob

the sheep

brother <0251

<5066 nagash >,

and rolled <1556 galal > the stone <68> from the well's <0875

<6310 peh >, and watered <8248 shaqah > the flock <6629 tso>n >

of Laban

<3837 Laban > his mother's <0517 >em > brother <0251 >ach >.

 11 And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > kissed <5401 nashaq > Rachel <7354

Rachel >,

and lifted <5375 nasa> > up his voice <6963 qowl >, and wept

<1058 bakah >.

 12 And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > told <5046 nagad > Rachel <7354

Rachel > that

he [was] her father's <1> brother <0251 >ach >, and that he

[was] Rebekah's

<7259 Ribqah > son <1121 ben >: and she ran <7323 ruwts > and

told <5046

nagad > her father <1>.

 13 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when Laban <3837 Laban >

heard <8085

shama< > the tidings <8088 shema< > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > his

sister's

nashaq > him,

and brought <0935 bow> > him to his house <1004 bayith >. And he

told <5608

caphar > Laban <3837 Laban > all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el-leh

 14 And Laban <3837 Laban > said <0559 >amar > to him, Surely

<0389 >ak >

thou [art] my bone <6106 <etsem > and my flesh <1320 basar >.

And he abode

<3427 yashab > with him the space <3117 yowm > of a month <2320

chodesh >.

 15. And Laban <3837 Laban > said <0559 >amar > unto Jacob <3290

Ya<aqob >,

Because <3588 kiy > thou [art] my brother <0251 >ach >,

shouldest thou

therefore serve <5647 <abad > me for nought <2600 chinnam >?

tell <5046 nagad

 16 And Laban <3837 Laban > had two <8147 sh@nayim > daughters

<1363 gobahh

<3812 Le>ah

Rachel <7354

Rachel >.

 17 Leah <3812 Le>ah > [was] tender <7390 rak > eyed <5869 <ayin

Rachel <7354 Rachel > was beautiful and well <3303 yapheh >

favoured <4758

mar>eh >.

 18 And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > loved <0157 >ahab > Rachel <7354

Rachel >; and

said <0559 >amar >, I will serve <5647 <abad > thee seven <7651

sheba< >

years <8141 shaneh > for Rachel <7354 Rachel > thy younger <6996

qatan >

daughter <1323 bath >.

 19 And Laban <3837 Laban > said <0559 >amar >, [It is] better

<2896 towb >

that I give <5414 nathan > her to thee, than that I should give

<5414 nathan

me.

 20 And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > served <5647 <abad > seven <7651

sheba< > years

<8141 shaneh > for Rachel <7354 Rachel >; and they seemed unto

him [but] a

few <0259 >echad > days <3117 yowm >, for the love <0160 >ahabah

her.

 21 And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > said <0559 >amar > unto Laban

<3837 Laban >,

Give <3051 yahab > [me] my wife <0802 >ishshah >, for my days

<3117 yowm >

are fulfilled <4390 male> >, that I may go <0935 bow> > in unto

her.

 22 And Laban <3837 Laban > gathered <0622 >acaph > together all

<3605 kol >

the men <0582 >enowsh > of the place <4725 maqowm >, and made

<6213 <asah > a

feast <4960 mishteh >.

 23 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the evening <6153 <ereb

took <3947 laqach > Leah <3812 Le>ah > his daughter <1323 bath >,

 and brought

<0935 bow> > her to him; and he went <0935 bow> > in unto her.

 24 And Laban <3837 Laban > gave <5414 nathan > unto his

daughter <1323 bath

shiphchah > [for]

an handmaid <8198 shiphchah >.

 25 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, that in the morning <1242

boqer >,

behold <2009 hinneh >, it [was] Leah <3812 Le>ah >: and he said

<0559 >amar >

to Laban <3837 Laban >, What <4100 mah > [is] this <2063 zo>th >

thou hast

done <6213 <asah > unto me? did not I serve <5647 <abad > with

 26 And Laban <3837 Laban > said <0559 >amar >, It must not be

so <3651 ken >

done <6213 <asah > in our country <4725 maqowm >, to give <5414

 27 Fulfil <4390 male> > her week <7620 shabuwa< >, and we will

give <5414

with me yet

<5750 <owd > seven <7651 sheba< > other <0312 >acher > years

<8141 shaneh >.

 28 And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > did <6213 <asah > so <3651 ken >,

and fulfilled

<4390 male> > her week <7620 shabuwa< >: and he gave <5414

nathan > him

Rachel <7354 Rachel > his daughter <1323 bath > to wife <0802

 29 And Laban <3837 Laban > gave <5414 nathan > to Rachel <7354

Rachel > his

daughter <1323 bath > Bilhah <1090 Bilhah > his handmaid <8198

shiphchah > to

be her maid <8198 shiphchah >.

 30 And he went <0935 bow> > in also <1571 gam > unto Rachel

<7354 Rachel >,

and he loved <0157 >ahab > also <1571 gam > Rachel <7354 Rachel

<owd > seven

 31. And when the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > saw <7200 ra>ah > that

Leah <3812

Le>ah > [was] hated <8130 sane> >, he opened <6605 pathach > her

womb <7358

 32 And Leah <3812 Le>ah > conceived <2030 hareh >, and bare

 33 And she conceived <2030 hareh > again <5750 <owd >, and bare

 35 And she conceived <2030 hareh > again <5750 <owd >, and bare

Genesis 30

 1. And when Rachel <7354 Rachel > saw <7200 ra>ah > that she

 2 And Jacob's <3290 Ya<aqob > anger <0639 >aph > was kindled

 4 And she gave <5414 nathan > him Bilhah <1090 Bilhah > her

 33 So shall my righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > answer <6030

 34 And Laban <3837 Laban > said <0559 >amar >, Behold <2005 hen

 35 And he removed <5493 cuwr > that day <3117 yowm > the he

 37. And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > took <3947 laqach > him rods

 38 And he set <3322 yatsag > the rods <4731 maqqel > which

 39 And the flocks <6629 tso>n > conceived <3179 yacham > before

the rods <4731 maqqel >, and brought <3205 yalad > forth <3209

 40 And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > did separate <6504 parad > the

 41 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, whensoever <3605 kol >

the stronger

 42 But when the cattle <6629 tso>n > were feeble <5848 <ataph >,

 43 And the man <0376 >iysh > increased <6555 parats >

Genesis 31

 1. And he heard <8085 shama< > the words <1697 dabar > of

Laban's <3837

 2 And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > beheld <7200 ra>ah > the

 3 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto Jacob

 4 And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > sent <7971 shalach > and called

<7121 qara> >

Rachel <7354 Rachel > and Leah <3812 Le>ah > to the field <7704

 5 And said <0559 >amar > unto them, I see <7200 ra>ah > your

 but the God

 6 And ye know <3045 yada< > that with all <3605 kol > my power

 7 And your father <1> hath deceived <2048 hathal > me, and

changed <2498

 8 If <0518 >im > he said <0559 >amar > thus <3541 koh >, The

 9 Thus God <0430 >elohiym > hath taken <5337 natsal > away the

cattle <4735

 10 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at the time <6256 <eth >

that the

 11 And the angel <4397 mal>ak > of God <0430 >elohiym > spake

ringstraked <6124 <aqod >, speckled <5348 naqod >, and grisled

for I have seen <7200 ra>ah > all <3605 kol > that Laban <3837

 13 I [am] the God <0410 >el > of Bethel <1008 Beyth->El >,

 14 And Rachel <7354 Rachel > and Leah <3812 Le>ah > answered

<6030 <anah >

and said <0559 >amar > unto him, [Is there] yet <5750 <owd > any

 15 Are we not counted <2803 chashab > of him strangers <5237

he hath sold <4376 makar > us, and hath quite devoured <0398

 16 For all <3605 kol > the riches <6239 <osher > which <0834

whatsoever God

 17. Then Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > rose <6965 quwm > up, and set

<5375 nasa> >

his sons <1121 ben > and his wives <0802 >ishshah > upon camels

 19 And Laban <3837 Laban > went <1980 halak > to shear <1494

sheep <6629 tso>n >: and Rachel <7354 Rachel > had stolen <1589

 20 And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > stole <1589 ganab > away unawares

to Laban

<3837 Laban > the Syrian <0761 >Arammiy >, in that he told <5046

 21 So he fled <1272 barach > with all <3605 kol > that he had;

pursued <7291 radaph > after <0310 >achar > him seven <7651

sheba< > days

<3117 yowm >' journey <1870 derek >; and they overtook <1692

dabaq > him in

the mount <2022 har > Gilead <1568 Gil<ad >.

 24 And God <0430 >elohiym > came <0935 bow> > to Laban <3837

Laban > the

Syrian <0761 >Arammiy > in a dream <2472 chalowm > by night

<3915 layil >,

and said <0559 >amar > unto him, Take heed <8104 shamar > that

thou speak

<1696 dabar > not to Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > either good <2896

towb > or <5704

<ad > bad <7451 ra< >.

 25. Then Laban <3837 Laban > overtook <5381 nasag > Jacob <3290

Ya<aqob >.

Now Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > had pitched <8628 taqa< > his tent

<0168 >ohel > in

the mount <2022 har >: and Laban <3837 Laban > with his brethren

<0251 >ach >

pitched <8628 taqa< > in the mount <2022 har > of Gilead <1568

Gil<ad >.

 26 And Laban <3837 Laban > said <0559 >amar > to Jacob <3290

Ya<aqob >, What

<4100 mah > hast thou done <6213 <asah >, that thou hast stolen

<1589 ganab >

away unawares to me, and carried <5090 nahag > away my daughters

<1363 gobahh

>, as captives <7617 shabah > [taken] with the sword <2719

chereb >?

 27 Wherefore <4100 mah > didst thou flee <1272 barach > away

secretly

<2244>, and steal <1589 ganab > away from me; and didst not tell

<5046 nagad

mirth <8057

simchah >, and with songs <7892 shiyr >, with tabret <8596 toph

harp <3658 kinnowr >?

 28 And hast not suffered <5203 natash > me to kiss <5401 nashaq

> my sons

<1121 ben > and my daughters <1363 gobahh >? thou hast now <6258

<attah >

done foolishly <5528 cakal > in [so] doing <6213 <asah >.

 29 It is in the power <0410 >el > of my hand <3027 yad > to do

<6213 <asah >

you hurt <7451 ra< >: but the God <0430 >elohiym > of your

father <1> spake

<0559 >amar > unto me yesternight <0570 >emesh >, saying <0559

>amar >, Take

thou heed <8104 shamar > that thou speak <1696 dabar > not to

Jacob <3290

Ya<aqob > either good <2896 towb > or <5704 <ad > bad <7451 ra<

 30 And now <6258 <attah >, [though] thou wouldest needs be gone

<1980 halak

thy father's

<1> house <1004 bayith >, [yet] wherefore <4100 mah > hast thou

stolen <1589

ganab > my gods <0430 >elohiym >?

 31 And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > answered <6030 <anah > and said

<0559 >amar >

to Laban <3837 Laban >, Because <3588 kiy > I was afraid <3372

yare> >: for I

said <0559 >amar >, Peradventure <6435 pen > thou wouldest take

<1497 gazal >

by force <1497 gazal > thy daughters <1363 gobahh > from me.

 32 With whomsoever <0834 >aher > thou findest <4672 matsa> >

thy gods <0430

>elohiym >, let him not live <2421 chayah >: before <5048 neged

> our

brethren <0251 >ach > discern <5234 nakar > thou what <4100 mah

with me, and take <3947 laqach > [it] to thee. For Jacob <3290

Ya<aqob > knew

<3045 yada< > not that Rachel <7354 Rachel > had stolen <1589

ganab > them.

 33 And Laban <3837 Laban > went <0935 bow> > into Jacob's <3290

Ya<aqob >

tent <0168 >ohel >, and into Leah's <3812 Le>ah > tent <0168

>ohel >, and

into the two <8147 sh@nayim > maidservants <0519 >amah >' tents

<0168 >ohel

yatsa> > he out of

Leah's <3812 Le>ah > tent <0168 >ohel >, and entered <0935 bow>

Rachel's <7354 Rachel > tent <0168 >ohel >.

 34 Now Rachel <7354 Rachel > had taken <3947 laqach > the

images <8655

t@raphiym >, and put <7760 suwm > them in the camel's <1581

gamal > furniture

<3733 kar >, and sat <3427 yashab > upon them. And Laban <3837

Laban >

searched <4959 mashash > all <3605 kol > the tent <0168 >ohel >,

but found

<4672 matsa> > [them] not.

 35 And she said <0559 >amar > to her father <1>, Let it not

displease <2734

charah > my lord <0113 >adown > that I cannot rise <6965 quwm >

up before

<6440 paniym > thee; for the custom <1870 derek > of women <0802

>ishshah >

[is] upon me. And he searched <2664 chaphas >, but found <4672

matsa> > not

the images <8655 t@raphiym >.

 36. And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > was wroth <2734 charah >, and

chode <7378 riyb

<6030 <anah >

and said <0559 >amar > to Laban <3837 Laban >, What <4100 mah >

[is] my

trespass <6588 pesha< >? what <4100 mah > [is] my sin <2403

chatta>ah >, that

thou hast so hotly <1814 dalaq > pursued <1814 dalaq > after

<0310 >achar >

me?

 37 Whereas <3588 kiy > thou hast searched <4959 mashash > all

<3605 kol > my

stuff <3627 k@liy >, what <4100 mah > hast thou found <4672

matsa> > of all

<3605 kol > thy household <1004 bayith > stuff <3627 k@liy >?

set <7760 suwm

brethren <0251 >ach >, that they may judge <3198 yakach >

betwixt <0996 beyn

 38 This <2088 zeh > twenty <6242 <esriym > years <8141 shaneh >

[have] I

[been] with thee; thy ewes <7353 rachel > and thy she goats

<5795 <ez > have

not cast <7921 shakol > their young, and the rams <0352 >ayil >

of thy flock

<6629 tso>n > have I not eaten <0398 >akal >.

 39 That which was torn <2966 t@rephah > [of beasts <2966

t@rephah >] I

brought <0935 bow> > not unto thee; I bare <2308 chadal > the

loss <2398

chata> > of it; of my hand <3027 yad > didst thou require <1245

baqash > it,

[whether] stolen <1589 ganab > by day <3117 yowm >, or stolen

<1589 ganab >

by night <3915 layil >.

 40 [Thus] I was; in the day <3117 yowm > the drought <2721

choreb > consumed

<0398 >akal > me, and the frost <7140 qerach > by night <3915

layil >; and my

sleep <8142 shehah > departed <5074 nadad > from mine eyes <5869

<ayin >.

 41 Thus <2088 zeh > have I been twenty <6242 <esriym > years

<8141 shaneh >

in thy house <1004 bayith >; I served <5647 <abad > thee

fourteen years <8141

shaneh > for thy two <8147 sh@nayim > daughters <1363 gobahh >,

and six <8337

shesh > years <8141 shaneh > for thy cattle <6629 tso>n >: and

thou hast

changed <2498 chalaph > my wages <4909 maskoreth > ten <6235

<eser > times

<4489 moneh >.

 42 Except <3884 luwle> > the God <0430 >elohiym > of my father

<1>, the God

<0430 >elohiym > of Abraham <85>, and the fear <6343 pachad > of

Isaac <3327

Yitschaq >, had been <1961 hayah > with me, surely <3588 kiy >

thou hadst

sent <7971 shalach > me away now <6258 <attah > empty <7387

reyqam >. God

<0430 >elohiym > hath seen <7200 ra>ah > mine affliction <6040

<oniy > and

the labour <3018 y@giya< > of my hands <3709 kaph >, and rebuked

<3198 yakach

 43. And Laban <3837 Laban > answered <6030 <anah > and said

<0559 >amar >

unto Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, [These] daughters <1363 gobahh >

[are] my

daughters <1363 gobahh >, and [these] children <1121 ben > [are]

my children

<1121 ben >, and [these] cattle <6629 tso>n > [are] my cattle

<6629 tso>n >,

and all <3605 kol > that thou seest <7200 ra>ah > [is] mine: and

what <4100

daughters

<1363 gobahh >, or <0176 >ow > unto their children <1121 ben >

which <0834

 44 Now <6258 <attah > therefore come <3212 yalak > thou, let us

make <3772

karath > a covenant <1285 b@riyth >, I and thou; and let it be

for a witness

<5707 <ed > between <0996 beyn > me and thee.

 45 And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > took <3947 laqach > a stone <68>,

and set <7311

ruwm > it up [for] a pillar <4676 matstsebah >.

 46 And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > said <0559 >amar > unto his

 47 And Laban <3837 Laban > called <7121 qara> > it

Jegarsahadutha <3026

<1567 Gal<ed >.

 48 And Laban <3837 Laban > said <0559 >amar >, This <2088 zeh >

heap <1530

<3117 yowm >. Therefore was the name <8034 shem > of it called

<7121 qara> >

Galeed <1567 Gal<ed >;

 49 And Mizpah <4709 Mitspah >; for he said <0559 >amar >, The

witness <5707 <ed > betwixt <0996 beyn > me and thee.

 51 And Laban <3837 Laban > said <0559 >amar > to Jacob <3290

Ya<aqob >,

Behold <2009 hinneh > this <2088 zeh > heap <1530 gal >, and

behold <2009

this <2088 zeh > heap <1530 gal > and this <2063 zo>th > pillar

<4676

matstsebah > unto me, for harm <7451 ra< >.

 53 The God <0430 >elohiym > of Abraham <85>, and the God <0430

Nahor <5152 Q@riyowth  Nachowr >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of

their father

<3290 Ya<aqob >

sware <7650 shaba< > by the fear <6343 pachad > of his father

Yitschaq >.

 54 Then Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > offered <2076 zabach > sacrifice

 55 And early <7925 shakam > in the morning <1242 boqer > Laban

<3837 Laban >

rose <7925 shakam > up, and kissed <5401 nashaq > his sons <1121

Laban > departed <3212 yalak >, and returned <7725 shuwb > unto

Genesis 32

 1. And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > went <1980 halak > on his way

<1870 derek >,

and the angels <4397 mal>ak > of God <0430 >elohiym > met <6293

 2 And when <0834 >aher > Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > saw <7200 ra>ah

said <0559 >amar >, This <2088 zeh > [is] God's <0430 >elohiym >

machaneh >: and he called <7121 qara> > the name <8034 shem > of

that place

<4725 maqowm > Mahanaim <4266 Machanayim >.

 3. And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > sent <7971 shalach > messengers

<4397 mal>ak >

before <6440 paniym > him to Esau <6215 <Esav > his brother

<0251 >ach > unto

the land <0776 >erets > of Seir <8165 Se<iyr >, the country

<7704 sadeh > of

Edom <0123 >Edom >.

 4 And he commanded <6680 tsavah > them, saying <0559 >amar >,

Thus <3541 koh

<3541 koh >, I have sojourned <1481 guwr > with Laban <3837

stayed <0309 >achar > there until <5704 <ad > now <6258 <attah >:

 5 And I have <1961 hayah > oxen <7794 showr >, and asses <2543

 6 And the messengers <4397 mal>ak > returned <7725 shuwb > to

Jacob <3290

Ya<aqob >, saying <0559 >amar >, We came <0935 bow> > to thy

 7 Then Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > was greatly <3966 m@<od > afraid

<3372 yare> >

and distressed <3334 yatsar >: and he divided <2673 chatsah >

the people

and herds

<1241 baqar >, and the camels <1581 gamal >, into two <8147

 9. And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > said <0559 >amar >, O God <0430

<attah > I am

become <1961 hayah > two <8147 sh@nayim > bands <4264 machaneh >.

 11 Deliver <5337 natsal > me, I pray <4994 na> > thee, from the

hand <3027

with the

children <1121 ben >.

 12 And thou saidst <0559 >amar >, I will surely do thee good

<3190 yatab >,

and make <7760 suwm > thy seed <2233 zera< > as the sand <2344

sea <3220 yam >, which <0834 >aher > cannot <3808 lo> > be

caphar > for multitude <7230 rob >.

 13. And he lodged <3885 luwn > there <8033 sham > that same

<1931 huw> >

night <3915 layil >; and took <3947 laqach > of that which came

<0935 bow> >

 16 And he delivered <5414 nathan > [them] into the hand <3027

yad > of his

servants <5650 <ebed >, every drove <5739 <eder > by themselves

and said <0559 >amar > unto his servants <5650 <ebed >, Pass

 17 And he commanded <6680 tsavah > the foremost <7223 ri>shown

saying <0559

 18 Then thou shalt say <0559 >amar >, [They be] thy servant

Jacob's <3290 Ya<aqob >; it [is] a present <4503 minchah > sent

 19 And so <1571 gam > commanded <6680 tsavah > he the second

and the third <7992 sh@liyshiy >, and all <3605 kol > that

followed the

 20 And say <0559 >amar > ye moreover <1571 gam >, Behold <2009

For he said <0559 >amar >, I will appease <6440 paniym > him

 21 So went <5674 <abar > the present <4503 minchah > over <5674

<abar >

before him: and himself <1931 huw> > lodged <3885 luwn > that

night <3915

layil > in the company <4264 machaneh >.

 22 And he rose <6965 quwm > up that night <3915 layil >, and

took <3947

laqach > his two <8147 sh@nayim > wives <0802 >ishshah >, and

his two <8147

sh@nayim > womenservants <8198 shiphchah >, and his eleven sons

<3206 yeled

ma<abar >

Jabbok <2999 Yabboq >.

 23 And he took <3947 laqach > them, and sent <5674 <abar > them

over <5674

<abar > the brook <5158 nachal >, and sent <5674 <abar > over

<5674 <abar >

that he had.

 24. And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > was left <3498 yathar > alone

<0905 bad >; and

there wrestled <79> a man <0376 >iysh > with him until <5704 <ad

breaking <5927 <alah > of the day <7837 shachar >.

 25 And when he saw <7200 ra>ah > that he prevailed <3201 yakol

him, he touched <5060 naga< > the hollow <3709 kaph > of his

thigh <3409

yarek >; and the hollow <3709 kaph > of Jacob's <3290 Ya<aqob >

thigh <3409

yarek > was out of joint <3363 yaqa< >, as he wrestled <79> with

him.

 26 And he said <0559 >amar >, Let me go <7971 shalach >, for

the day <7837

shachar > breaketh <5927 <alah >. And he said <0559 >amar >, I

will not let

thee go <7971 shalach >, except thou bless <1288 barak > me.

 27 And he said <0559 >amar > unto him, What <4100 mah > [is]

thy name <8034

shem >? And he said <0559 >amar >, Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >.

 28 And he said <0559 >amar >, Thy name <8034 shem > shall be

called <0559

<3478 Yisra>el >: for as a prince hast thou power <8280 sarah >

with God

<0430 >elohiym > and with men <0582 >enowsh >, and hast

prevailed <3201 yakol

 29 And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > asked <7592 sha>al > [him], and

said <0559

>amar >, Tell <5046 nagad > [me], I pray <4994 na> > thee, thy

name <8034

shem >. And he said <0559 >amar >, Wherefore <4100 mah > [is] it

[that] thou

dost ask <7592 sha>al > after my name <8034 shem >? And he

blessed <1288

barak > him there <8033 sham >.

 30 And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > called <7121 qara> > the name

<8034 shem > of

the place <4725 maqowm > Peniel <6439 P@nuw>el >: for I have

seen <7200 ra>ah

life <5315 nephesh > is preserved <5337 natsal >.

 31 And as he passed <5674 <abar > over <5674 <abar > Penuel

<6439 P@nuw>el >

the sun <8121 shemesh > rose <2224 zarach > upon him, and he

halted <6761

tsela< > upon his thigh <3409 yarek >.

 32 Therefore the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el

<0834 >aher > [is] upon the hollow <3709 kaph > of the thigh

<3409 yarek >,

unto this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >: because <3588 kiy > he

touched <5060

naga< > the hollow <3709 kaph > of Jacob's <3290 Ya<aqob > thigh

<3409 yarek

Genesis 33

 1. And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > lifted <5375 nasa> > up his eyes

<5869 <ayin >,

and looked <7200 ra>ah >, and, behold <2009 hinneh >, Esau <6215

<Esav > came

<0935 bow> >, and with him four <0702 >arba< > hundred <3967

me>ah > men

<0376 >iysh >. And he divided <2673 chatsah > the children <3206

yeled > unto

Leah <3812 Le>ah >, and unto Rachel <7354 Rachel >, and unto the

two <8147

sh@nayim > handmaids <8198 shiphchah >.

 2 And he put <7760 suwm > the handmaids <8198 shiphchah > and

their children

<3206 yeled > foremost <7223 ri>shown >, and Leah <3812 Le>ah >

and her

children <3206 yeled > after <0314 >acharown >, and Rachel <7354

Rachel > and

Joseph <3130 Yowceph > hindermost <0314 >acharown >.

 3 And he passed <5674 <abar > over <5674 <abar > before <6440

paniym > them,

and bowed <7812 shachah > himself to the ground <0776 >erets >

seven <7651

sheba< > times <6471 pa<am >, until <5704 <ad > he came <5066

nagash > near

<5066 nagash > to his brother <0251 >ach >.

 4 And Esau <6215 <Esav > ran <7323 ruwts > to meet <7125 qir>ah

embraced <2263 chabaq > him, and fell <5307 naphal > on <5921

<al > his neck

<6677 tsavva>r >, and kissed <5401 nashaq > him: and they wept

<1058 bakah >.

 5. And he lifted <5375 nasa> > up his eyes <5869 <ayin >, and

saw <7200

ra>ah > the women <0802 >ishshah > and the children <3206 yeled

<0559 >amar >, Who <4310 miy > [are] those <0428 >el-leh > with

thee? And he

said <0559 >amar >, The children <3206 yeled > which <0834 >aher

>elohiym > hath graciously <2603 chanan > given <2603 chanan >

thy servant

<5650 <ebed >.

 6 Then the handmaidens <8198 shiphchah > came <5066 nagash >

near <5066

nagash >, they and their children <3206 yeled >, and they bowed

<7812 shachah

 7 And Leah <3812 Le>ah > also <1571 gam > with her children

<3206 yeled >

came <5066 nagash > near <5066 nagash >, and bowed <7812 shachah

themselves: and after <0310 >achar > came <5066 nagash > Joseph

<3130 Yowceph

<7812 shachah

 8 And he said <0559 >amar >, What <4310 miy > [meanest] thou by

all <3605

kol > this <2088 zeh > drove <4264 machaneh > which <0834 >aher

matsa> > grace

<2580 chen > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of my lord <0113 >adown

 9 And Esau <6215 <Esav > said <0559 >amar >, I have <3426 yesh

<7227 rab >, my brother <0251 >ach >; keep <1961 hayah > that

thou hast unto

thyself.

 10 And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > said <0559 >amar >, Nay <0408 >al

<4994 na> > thee, if <0518 >im > now <4994 na> > I have found

<4672 matsa> >

grace <2580 chen > in thy sight <5869 <ayin >, then receive

<3947 laqach > my

present <4503 minchah > at my hand <3027 yad >: for therefore I

have seen

<7200 ra>ah > thy face <6440 paniym >, as though I had seen

<7200 ra>ah > the

face <6440 paniym > of God <0430 >elohiym >, and thou wast

pleased <7521

ratsah > with me.

 11 Take <3947 laqach >, I pray <4994 na> > thee, my blessing

<1293 B@rakah >

that is brought <0935 bow> > to thee; because <3588 kiy > God

<0430 >elohiym

<3588 kiy > I

have <3426 yesh > enough <3605 kol >. And he urged <6484 patsar

took <3947 laqach > [it].

 12 And he said <0559 >amar >, Let us take our journey <5265

naca< >, and let

us go <3212 yalak >, and I will go <3212 yalak > before <5048

neged > thee.

 13 And he said <0559 >amar > unto him, My lord <0113 >adown >

knoweth <3045

yada< > that the children <3206 yeled > [are] tender <7390 rak >,

 and the

flocks <6629 tso>n > and herds <1241 baqar > with young <5763

with me: and if <0518 >im > men should overdrive <1849 daphaq >

them one

<0259 >echad > day <3117 yowm >, all <3605 kol > the flock <6629

tso>n > will

die <4191 muwth >.

 14 Let my lord <0113 >adown >, I pray <4994 na> > thee, pass

<5674 <abar >

over <5674 <abar > before <6440 paniym > his servant <5650 <ebed

will lead <5095 nahal > on softly <0328 >at >, according <7272

regel > as the

cattle <4399 m@la>kah > that goeth before <6440 paniym > me and

the children

<3206 yeled > be able <7272 regel > to endure <7272 regel >,

until <5704 <ad

> I come <0935 bow> > unto my lord <0113 >adown > unto Seir

<8165 Se<iyr >.

 15 And Esau <6215 <Esav > said <0559 >amar >, Let me now <4994

na> > leave

<3322 yatsag > with thee [some] of the folk <5971 <am > that

[are] with me.

And he said <0559 >amar >, What <4100 mah > needeth it? let me

find <4672

matsa> > grace <2580 chen > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of my

lord <0113

 16. So Esau <6215 <Esav > returned <7725 shuwb > that day <3117

yowm > on

his way <1870 derek > unto Seir <8165 Se<iyr >.

 17 And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > journeyed <5265 naca< > to Succoth

<5523

Cukkowth >, and built <1129 banah > him an house <1004 bayith >,

and made

<6213 <asah > booths <5521 cukkah > for his cattle <4735 miqneh

the name <8034 shem > of the place <4725 maqowm > is called

<7121 qara> >

Succoth <5523 Cukkowth >.

 18 And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > came <0935 bow> > to Shalem <8003

shalem >, a

city <5892 <iyr > of Shechem <7927 Sh@kem >, which <0834 >aher >

[is] in the

land <0776 >erets > of Canaan <3667 K@na<an >, when he came

<0935 bow> > from

Padanaram <6307 Paddan >; and pitched <2583 chanah > his tent

before the city

<5892 <iyr >.

 19 And he bought <7069 qanah > a parcel <2513 chelqah > of a

field <7704

sadeh >, where <0834 >aher > he had spread <5186 natah > his

of money <7192 q@siytah >.

 20 And he erected <5324 natsab > there <8033 sham > an altar

<4196 mizbeach

Yisra>el >.

Genesis 34

 1. And Dinah <1783 Diynah > the daughter <1323 bath > of Leah

<3812 Le>ah >,

which <0834 >aher > she bare <3205 yalad > unto Jacob <3290

Ya<aqob >, went

<3318 yatsa> > out to see <7200 ra>ah > the daughters <1363

gobahh > of the

land <0776 >erets >.

 2 And when Shechem <7927 Sh@kem > the son <1121 ben > of Hamor

<2544 Chamowr

country <0776

lay <7901

shakab > with her, and defiled <6031 <anah > her.

 3 And his soul <5315 nephesh > clave <1692 dabaq > unto Dinah

<1783 Diynah >

the daughter <1323 bath > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, and he loved

<0157 >ahab

unto the damsel

<5291 na<arah >.

 4 And Shechem <7927 Sh@kem > spake <0559 >amar > unto his

father <1> Hamor

<2544 Chamowr >, saying <0559 >amar >, Get <3947 laqach > me

this <2063 zo>th

 5 And Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > heard <8085 shama< > that he had

defiled <2930

tame> > Dinah <1783 Diynah > his daughter <1323 bath >: now his

sons <1121

ben > were with his cattle <4735 miqneh > in the field <7704

sadeh >: and

Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > held <2790 charash > his peace <2790

charash > until

<5704 <ad > they were come <0935 bow> >.

 6. And Hamor <2544 Chamowr > the father <1> of Shechem <7927

Sh@kem > went

<3318 yatsa> > out unto Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > to commune <1696

dabar > with

him.

 7 And the sons <1121 ben > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > came <0935

bow> > out of

the field <7704 sadeh > when they heard <8085 shama< > [it]: and

the men

<0582 >enowsh > were grieved <6087 <atsab >, and they were very

<3966 m@<od >

wroth <2734 charah >, because <3588 kiy > he had wrought <6213

<asah > folly

<5039 n@balah > in Israel <3478 Yisra>el > in lying <7901 shakab

Jacob's <3290 Ya<aqob > daughter <1323 bath >; which <3651 ken >

thing <3651

ken > ought not to be done <6213 <asah >.

 8 And Hamor <2544 Chamowr > communed <1696 dabar > with them,

saying <0559

>amar >, The soul <5315 nephesh > of my son <1121 ben > Shechem

<7927 Sh@kem

you give <5414 nathan > her him to wife <0802 >ishshah >.

 9 And make ye marriages <2859 chathan > with us, [and] give

<5414 nathan >

your daughters <1363 gobahh > unto us, and take <3947 laqach >

our daughters

<1363 gobahh > unto you.

 10 And ye shall dwell <3427 yashab > with us: and the land

<0776 >erets >

shall be before <6440 paniym > you; dwell <3427 yashab > and

trade <5503

cachar > ye therein, and get you possessions <0270 >achaz >

therein.

 11 And Shechem <7927 Sh@kem > said <0559 >amar > unto her

father <1> and

unto her brethren <0251 >ach >, Let me find <4672 matsa> > grace

<2580 chen >

in your eyes <5869 <ayin >, and what <0834 >aher > ye shall say

<0559 >amar >

unto me I will give <5414 nathan >.

 12 Ask me never so much dowry <4119 mohar > and gift <4976

mattan >, and I

will give <5414 nathan > according as ye shall say <0559 >amar >

unto me: but

give <5414 nathan > me the damsel <5291 na<arah > to wife <0802

 13 And the sons <1121 ben > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > answered

<6030 <anah >

Shechem <7927 Sh@kem > and Hamor <2544 Chamowr > his father <1>

deceitfully

<4820 mirmah >, and said <1696 dabar >, because <0834 >aher > he

had defiled

<2930 tame> > Dinah <1783 Diynah > their sister <0269 >achowth >:

 14 And they said <0559 >amar > unto them, We cannot do <6213

<asah > this

<2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar >, to give <5414 nathan > our

sister <0269

<orlah >; for

that [were] a reproach <2781 cherpah > unto us:

 15 But in this <2063 zo>th > will we consent <0225 >uwth > unto

you: If

<0518 >im > ye will be as we [be], that every <3605 kol > male

<2145 zakar >

of you be circumcised <4135 muwl >;

 16 Then will we give <5414 nathan > our daughters <1363 gobahh

and we will take <3947 laqach > your daughters <1363 gobahh > to

us, and we

will dwell <3427 yashab > with you, and we will become <1961

hayah > one

<0259 >echad > people <5971 <am >.

 17 But if <0518 >im > ye will not hearken <8085 shama< > unto

us, to be

circumcised <4135 muwl >; then will we take <3947 laqach > our

daughter <1323

 18. And their words <1697 dabar > pleased Hamor <2544 Chamowr >,

 and Shechem

<7927 Sh@kem > Hamor's <2544 Chamowr > son <1121 ben >.

 19 And the young <5288 na<ar > man deferred <0309 >achar > not

to do <6213

<asah > the thing <1697 dabar >, because <3588 kiy > he had

delight <2654

chaphets > in Jacob's <3290 Ya<aqob > daughter <1323 bath >: and

he [was]

more <3513 kabad > honourable <3513 kabad > than all <3605 kol >

the house

<1004 bayith > of his father <1>.

 20 And Hamor <2544 Chamowr > and Shechem <7927 Sh@kem > his son

<1121 ben >

came <0935 bow> > unto the gate <8179 sha<ar > of their city

<5892 <iyr >,

and communed <1696 dabar > with the men <0582 >enowsh > of their

city <5892

<iyr >, saying <0559 >amar >,

 21 These <0428 >el-leh > men <0582 >enowsh > [are] peaceable

<8003 shalem >

with us; therefore let them dwell <3427 yashab > in the land

<0776 >erets >,

and trade <5503 cachar > therein; for the land <0776 >erets >,

behold <2009

hinneh >, [it is] large <7342 rachab > enough <3027 yad > for

them; let us

take <3947 laqach > their daughters <1363 gobahh > to us for

wives <0802

<1363 gobahh >.

 22 Only <0389 >ak > herein <2063 zo>th > will the men <0582

consent <0225 >uwth > unto us for to dwell <3427 yashab > with

us, to be one

<2145 zakar > among us be circumcised <4135 muwl >, as they

[are] circumcised

<4135 muwl >.

 23 [Shall] not their cattle <4735 miqneh > and their substance

ours? only <0389

dwell <3427

 24 And unto Hamor <2544 Chamowr > and unto Shechem <7927 Sh@kem

<1121 ben > hearkened <8085 shama< > all <3605 kol > that went

<3318 yatsa> >

every <3605 kol

<3318 yatsa> > out of the gate <8179 sha<ar > of his city <5892

<iyr >.

 25. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass on the third <7992

sh@liyshiy > day

<3117 yowm >, when they were sore <3510 ka>ab >, that two <8147

sh@nayim > of

the sons <1121 ben > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, Simeon <8095

Levi <3878 Leviy >, Dinah's <1783 Diynah > brethren <0251 >ach >,

 took <3947

all <3605 kol > the males <2145 zakar >.

 26 And they slew <2026 harag > Hamor <2544 Chamowr > and

Shechem <7927

Sh@kem > his son <1121 ben > with the edge <6310 peh > of the

sword <2719

Shechem's <7927

Sh@kem > house <1004 bayith >, and went <3318 yatsa> > out.

 27 The sons <1121 ben > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > came <0935

slain <2491 chalal >, and spoiled <0962 bazaz > the city <5892

because <0834 >aher > they had defiled <2930 tame> > their

 28 They took <3947 laqach > their sheep <6629 tso>n >, and

their oxen <1241
