Genesis   1




 1. In the beginning <07225> God <0430> created <01254> the

heaven


<08064> and the earth <0776>.




 2  And the earth <0776> was without <08414> form <08414>, and

void


<0922>; and darkness <02822> [was] upon the face <06440> of the

deep


<08415>. And the Spirit <07307> of God <0430> moved <07363> upon

the


face <06440> of the waters <04325>.




 3. And God <0430> said <0559>, Let there be light <0216>: and

there


was light <0216>.




 4  And God <0430> saw <07200> the light <0216>, that [it was]

good


<02896>: and God <0430> divided <0914> the light <0216> from the


darkness <02822>.




 5  And God <0430> called <07121> the light <0216> Day <03117>,

and


the darkness <02822> he called <07121> Night <03915>. And the


evening <06153> and the morning <01242> were the first <0259> day


<03117>.




 6. And God <0430> said <0559>, Let there be a firmament <07549>

in


the midst <08432> of the waters <04325>, and let it divide <0914>


the waters <04325> from the waters <04325>.




 7  And God <0430> made <06213> the firmament <07549>, and

divided


<0914> the waters <04325> which <0834> [were] under <08478> the


firmament <07549> from the waters <04325> which <0834> [were]

above


<05921> the firmament <07549>: and it was so <03651>.




 8  And God <0430> called <07121> the firmament <07549> Heaven


<08064>. And the evening <06153> and the morning <01242> were the


second <08145> day <03117>.




 9. And God <0430> said <0559>, Let the waters <04325> under

<08478>


the heaven <08064> be gathered <06960> together unto one <0259>


place <04725>, and let the dry <03004> [land] appear <07200>:

and it


was so <03651>.




 10  And God <0430> called <07121> the dry <03004> [land] Earth


<0776>; and the gathering <04723> together of the waters <04325>


called <07121> he Seas <03220>: and God <0430> saw <07200> that

[it


was] good <02896>.




 11  And God <0430> said <0559>, Let the earth <0776> bring

<01876>


forth <01876> grass <01877>, the herb <06212> yielding <02232>

seed


<02233>, [and] the fruit <06529> tree <06086> yielding <06213>

fruit


<06529> after his kind <04327>, whose <0834> seed <02233> [is] in


itself, upon the earth <0776>: and it was so <03651>.




 12  And the earth <0776> brought <03318> forth <03318> grass


<01877>, [and] herb <06212> yielding <02232> seed <02233> after

his


kind <04327>, and the tree <06086> yielding <06213> fruit

<06529>,


whose <0834> seed <02233> [was] in itself, after his kind

<04327>:


and God <0430> saw <07200> that [it was] good <02896>.




 13  And the evening <06153> and the morning <01242> were the

third


<07992> day <03117>.




 14. And God <0430> said <0559>, Let there be lights <03974> in

the


firmament <07549> of the heaven <08064> to divide <0914> the day


<03117> from the night <03915>; and let them be for signs <0226>,


and for seasons <04150>, and for days <03117>, and years <08141>:




 15  And let them be for lights <03974> in the firmament <07549>

of


the heaven <08064> to give light <0216> upon the earth <0776>:

and


it was so <03651>.




 16  And God <0430> made <06213> two <08147> great <01419> lights


<03974>; the greater <01419> light <03974> to rule <04475> the

day


<03117>, and the lesser <06996> light <03974> to rule <04475> the


night <03915>: [he made] the stars <03556> also.




 17  And God <0430> set <05414> them in the firmament <07549> of

the


heaven <08064> to give light <0216> upon the earth <0776>,




 18  And to rule <04910> over the day <03117> and over the night


<03915>, and to divide <0914> the light <0216> from the darkness


<02822>: and God <0430> saw <07200> that [it was] good <02896>.




 19  And the evening <06153> and the morning <01242> were the

fourth


<07243> day <03117>.




 20. And God <0430> said <0559>, Let the waters <04325> bring


<08317> forth <08317> abundantly <08317> the moving <08318>

creature


<08318> that hath life <02416>, and fowl <05775> [that] may fly


<05774> above <05921> the earth <0776> in the open <06440>

firmament


<07549> of heaven <08064>.




 21  And God <0430> created <01254> great <01419> whales <08577>,


and every <03605> living <02416> creature <05315> that moveth


<07430>, which <0834> the waters <04325> brought <08317> forth


<08317> abundantly <08317>, after their kind <04327>, and every


<03605> winged <03671> fowl <05775> after his kind <04327>: and

God


<0430> saw <07200> that [it was] good <02896>.




 22  And God <0430> blessed <01288> them, saying <0559>, Be

fruitful


<06509>, and multiply <07235>, and fill <04390> the waters

<04325>


in the seas <03220>, and let fowl <05775> multiply <07235> in the


earth <0776>.




 23  And the evening <06153> and the morning <01242> were the

fifth


<02549> day <03117>.




 24. And God <0430> said <0559>, Let the earth <0776> bring

<03318>


forth <03318> the living <02416> creature <05315> after his kind


<04327>, cattle <0929>, and creeping <07431> thing, and beast


<02416> of the earth <0776> after his kind <04327>: and it was so


<03651>.




 25  And God <0430> made <06213> the beast <02416> of the earth


<0776> after his kind <04327>, and cattle <0929> after their kind


<04327>, and every <03605> thing that creepeth <07431> upon the


earth <0127> after his kind <04327>: and God <0430> saw <07200>

that


[it was] good <02896>.




 26. And God <0430> said <0559>, Let us make <06213> man <0120>

in


our image <06754>, after our likeness <01823>: and let them have


dominion <07287> over the fish <01710> of the sea <03220>, and

over


the fowl <05775> of the air <08064>, and over the cattle <0929>,

and


over all <03605> the earth <0776>, and over every <03605>

creeping


<07431> thing that creepeth <07430> upon the earth <0776>.




 27  So God <0430> created <01254> man <0120> in his [own] image


<06754>, in the image <06754> of God <0430> created <01254> he

him;


male <02145> and female <05347> created <01254> he them.




 28  And God <0430> blessed <01288> them, and God <0430> said

<0559>


unto them, Be fruitful <06509>, and multiply <07235>, and

replenish


<04390> the earth <0776>, and subdue <03533> it: and have

dominion


<07287> over the fish <01710> of the sea <03220>, and over the

fowl


<05775> of the air <08064>, and over every <03605> living <02416>


thing that moveth <07430> upon the earth <0776>.




 29. And God <0430> said <0559>, Behold <02009>, I have given


<05414> you every <03605> herb <06212> bearing <02232> seed

<02233>,


which <0834> [is] upon the face <06440> of all <03605> the earth


<0776>, and every <03605> tree <06086>, in the which <0834> [is]

the


fruit <06529> of a tree <06086> yielding <02232> seed <02233>; to


you it shall be for meat <0402>.




 30  And to every <03605> beast <02416> of the earth <0776>, and

to


every <03605> fowl <05775> of the air <08064>, and to every

<03605>


thing that creepeth <07430> upon the earth <0776>, wherein <0834>


[there is] life <02416>, [I have given] every <03605> green

<03418>


herb <06212> for meat <0402>: and it was so <03651>.




 31. And God <0430> saw <07200> every <03605> thing that he had

made


<06213>, and, behold <02009>, [it was] very <03966> good <02896>.


And the evening <06153> and the morning <01242> were the sixth


<08345> day <03117>.




Genesis   2




 1. Thus the heavens <08064> and the earth <0776> were finished


<03615>, and all <03605> the host <06635> of them.




 2  And on the seventh <07637> day <03117> God <0430> ended

<03615>


his work <04399> which <0834> he had made <06213>; and he rested


<07673> on the seventh <07637> day <03117> from all <03605> his

work


<04399> which <0834> he had made <06213>.




 3  And God <0430> blessed <01288> the seventh <07637> day

<03117>,


and sanctified <06942> it: because <03588> that in it he had

rested


<07673> from all <03605> his work <04399> which <0834> God <0430>


created <01254> and made <06213>.




 4. These <0428> [are] the generations <08435> of the heavens


<08064> and of the earth <0776> when they were created <01254>,

in


the day <03117> that the LORD <03068> God <0430> made <06213> the


earth <0776> and the heavens <08064>,




 5  And every <03605> plant <07880> of the field <07704> before


<02962> it was in the earth <0776>, and every <03605> herb

<06212>


of the field <07704> before <02962> it grew <06779>: for the LORD


<03068> God <0430> had not caused it to rain <04305> upon the

earth


<0776>, and [there was] not a man <0120> to till <05647> the

ground


<0127>.




 6  But there went <05927> up a mist <0108> from the earth

<0776>,


and watered <08248> the whole face <06440> of the ground <0127>.




 7  And the LORD <03068> God <0430> formed <03335> man <0120>

[of]


the dust <06083> of the ground <0127>, and breathed <05301> into

his


nostrils <0639> the breath <05397> of life <02416>; and man

<0120>


became <01961> a living <02416> soul <05315>.




 8. And the LORD <03068> God <0430> planted <05193> a garden

<01588>


eastward <06924> in Eden <05731>; and there <08033> he put

<07760>


the man <0120> whom <0834> he had formed <03335>.




 9  And out of the ground <0127> made the LORD <03068> God

<0430> to


grow <06779> every <03605> tree <06086> that is pleasant <02530>

to


the sight <04758>, and good <02896> for food <03978>; the tree


<06086> of life <02416> also in the midst <08432> of the garden


<01588>, and the tree <06086> of knowledge <01847> of good

<02896>


and evil <07451>.




 10  And a river <05104> went <03318> out of Eden <05731> to

water


<08248> the garden <01588>; and from thence <08033> it was parted


<06504>, and became <01961> into four <0702> heads <07218>.




 11  The name <08034> of the first <0259> [is] Pison <06376>:

that


[is] it which compasseth <05437> the whole land <0776> of Havilah


<02341>, where [there is] gold <02091>;




 12  And the gold <02091> of that land <0776> [is] good <02896>:


there <08033> [is] bdellium <0916> and the onyx <07718> stone

<068>.




 13  And the name <08034> of the second <08145> river <05104>

[is]


Gihon <01521>: the same <01931> [is] it that compasseth <05437>

the


whole land <0776> of Ethiopia <03568>.




 14  And the name <08034> of the third <07992> river <05104> [is]


Hiddekel <02313>: that [is] it which goeth <01980> toward the

east


<06926> of Assyria <0804>. And the fourth <07243> river <05104>

[is]


Euphrates <06578>.




 15  And the LORD <03068> God <0430> took <03947> the man <0120>,


and put <03240> him into the garden <01588> of Eden <05731> to

dress


<05647> it and to keep <08104> it.




 16. And the LORD <03068> God <0430> commanded <06680> the man


<0120>, saying <0559>, Of every <03605> tree <06086> of the

garden


<01588> thou mayest freely eat <0398>:




 17  But of the tree <06086> of the knowledge <01847> of good


<02896> and evil <07451>, thou shalt not eat <0398> of it: for in


the day <03117> that thou eatest <0398> thereof thou shalt surely


die <04191>.




 18. And the LORD <03068> God <0430> said <0559>, [It is] not

good


<02896> that the man <0120> should be alone <0905>; I will make


<06213> him an help <05828> meet <05828> for him.




 19  And out of the ground <0127> the LORD <03068> God <0430>

formed


<03335> every <03605> beast <02416> of the field <07704>, and

every


<03605> fowl <05775> of the air <08064>; and brought <0935>

[them]


unto Adam <0120> to see <07200> what <04100> he would call

<07121>


them: and whatsoever Adam <0120> called <07121> every living

<02416>


creature <05315>, that [was] the name <08034> thereof.




 20  And Adam <0120> gave <07121> names <08034> to all <03605>


cattle <0929>, and to the fowl <05775> of the air <08064>, and to


every <03605> beast <02416> of the field <07704>; but for Adam


<0120> there was not found <04672> an help <05828> meet <05828>

for


him.




 21. And the LORD <03068> God <0430> caused a deep <08639> sleep


<03462> to fall <05307> upon Adam <0121>, and he slept <03462>:

and


he took <03947> one <0259> of his ribs <06763>, and closed

<05462>


up the flesh <01320> instead <08478> thereof;




 22  And the rib <06763>, which <0834> the LORD <03068> God

<0430>


had taken <03947> from man <0120>, made <01129> he a woman

<0802>,


and brought <0935> her unto the man <0120>.




 23  And Adam <0120> said <0559>, This <02063> [is] now <06471>

bone


<06106> of my bones <06106>, and flesh <01320> of my flesh

<01320>:


she shall be called <07121> Woman <0802>, because <03588> she was


taken <03947> out of Man <0376>.




 24  Therefore shall a man <0376> leave <05800> his father <01>

and


his mother <0517>, and shall cleave <01692> unto his wife <0802>:


and they shall be one <0259> flesh <01320>.




 25  And they were both <08147> naked <06174>, the man <0120> and


his wife <0802>, and were not ashamed <0954>.




Genesis   3




 1. Now the serpent <05175> was more subtil <06175> than any

<03605>


beast <02416> of the field <07704> which <0834> the LORD <03068>

God


<0430> had made <06213>. And he said <0559> unto the woman

<0802>,


Yea, hath God <0430> said <0559>, Ye shall not eat <0398> of

every


<03605> tree <06086> of the garden <01588>?




 2  And the woman <0802> said <0559> unto the serpent <05175>, We


may eat <0398> of the fruit <06529> of the trees <06086> of the


garden <01588>:




 3  But of the fruit <06529> of the tree <06086> which <0834>

[is]


in the midst <08432> of the garden <01588>, God <0430> hath said


<0559>, Ye shall not eat <0398> of it, neither shall ye touch


<05060> it, lest <06435> ye die <04191>.




 4  And the serpent <05175> said <0559> unto the woman <0802>, Ye


shall not surely die <04191>:




 5  For God <0430> doth know <03045> that in the day <03117> ye

eat


<0398> thereof, then your eyes <05869> shall be opened <06491>,

and


ye shall be as gods <0430>, knowing <03045> good <02896> and evil


<07451>.




 6. And when the woman <0802> saw <07200> that the tree <06086>


[was] good <02896> for food <03978>, and that it [was] pleasant


<08378> to the eyes <05869>, and a tree <06086> to be desired


<02530> to make [one] wise <07919>, she took <03947> of the fruit


<06529> thereof, and did eat <0398>, and gave <05414> also

<01571>


unto her husband <0376> with her; and he did eat <0398>.




 7  And the eyes <05869> of them both <08147> were opened

<06491>,


and they knew <03045> that they [were] naked <05903>; and they

sewed


<08609> fig <08384> leaves <02529> together, and made <06213>


themselves <01992> aprons <02290>.




 8  And they heard <08085> the voice <06963> of the LORD <03068>

God


<0430> walking <01980> in the garden <01588> in the cool <07307>

of


the day <03117>: and Adam <0120> and his wife <0802> hid <02244>


themselves from the presence <06440> of the LORD <03068> God

<0430>


amongst <08432> the trees <06086> of the garden <01588>.




 9. And the LORD <03068> God <0430> called <07121> unto Adam

<0120>,


and said <0559> unto him, Where <0335> [art] thou?




 10  And he said <0559>, I heard <08085> thy voice <06963> in the


garden <01588>, and I was afraid <03372>, because <03588> I [was]


naked <05903>; and I hid <02244> myself.




 11. And he said <0559>, Who <04310> told <05046> thee that thou


[wast] naked <05903>? Hast thou eaten <0398> of the tree <06086>,


whereof <0834> I commanded <06680> thee that thou shouldest not

eat


<0398>?




 12  And the man <0120> said <0559>, The woman <0802> whom <0834>


thou gavest <05414> [to be] with me, she gave <05414> me of the

tree


<06086>, and I did eat <0398>.




 13  And the LORD <03068> God <0430> said <0559> unto the woman


<0802>, What <04100> [is] this <02063> [that] thou hast done


<06213>? And the woman <0802> said <0559>, The serpent <05175>


beguiled <05377> me, and I did eat <0398>.




 14. And the LORD <03068> God <0430> said <0559> unto the serpent


<05175>, Because <03588> thou hast done <06213> this <02063>,

thou


[art] cursed <0779> above all <03605> cattle <0929>, and above

every


<03605> beast <02416> of the field <07704>; upon thy belly

<01512>


shalt thou go <03212>, and dust <06083> shalt thou eat <0398> all


<03605> the days <03117> of thy life <02416>:




 15  And I will put <07896> enmity <0342> between <0996> thee and


the woman <0802>, and between <0996> thy seed <02233> and her

seed


<02233>; it shall bruise <07779> thy head <07218>, and thou shalt


bruise <07779> his heel <06119>.




 16. Unto the woman <0802> he said <0559>, I will greatly

multiply


<07235> thy sorrow <06093> and thy conception <02032>; in sorrow


<06089> thou shalt bring <03205> forth <03205> children <01121>;

and


thy desire <08669> [shall be] to thy husband <0376>, and he shall


rule <04910> over thee.




 17. And unto Adam <0121> he said <0559>, Because <03588> thou

hast


hearkened <08085> unto the voice <06963> of thy wife <0802>, and


hast eaten <0398> of the tree <06086>, of which <0834> I

commanded


<06680> thee, saying <0559>, Thou shalt not eat <0398> of it:

cursed


<0779> [is] the ground <0127> for thy sake <05668>; in sorrow


<06093> shalt thou eat <0398> [of] it all <03605> the days

<03117>


of thy life <02416>;




 18  Thorns <06975> also and thistles <01863> shall it bring

<06779>


forth <06779> to thee; and thou shalt eat <0398> the herb

<06212> of


the field <07704>;




 19  In the sweat <02188> of thy face <0639> shalt thou eat

<0398>


bread <03899>, till <05704> thou return <07725> unto the ground


<0127>; for out of it wast thou taken <03947>: for dust <06083>

thou


[art], and unto dust <06083> shalt thou return <07725>.




 20. And Adam <0120> called <07121> his wife's <0802> name

<08034>


Eve <02332>; because <03588> she was the mother <0517> of all


<03605> living <02416>.




 21. Unto Adam <0120> also and to his wife <0802> did the LORD


<03068> God <0430> make <06213> coats <03801> of skins <05785>,

and


clothed <03847> them.




 22. And the LORD <03068> God <0430> said <0559>, Behold <02005>,


the man <0120> is become <01961> as one <0259> of us, to know


<03045> good <02896> and evil <07451>: and now <06258>, lest

<06435>


he put <07971> forth <07971> his hand <03027>, and take <03947>

also


<01571> of the tree <06086> of life <02416>, and eat <0398>, and


live <02425> for ever <05769>:




 23  Therefore the LORD <03068> God <0430> sent <07971> him forth


from the garden <01588> of Eden <05731>, to till <05647> the

ground


<0127> from whence he was taken <03947>.




 24  So he drove <01644> out the man <0120>; and he placed

<07931>


at the east <06924> of the garden <01588> of Eden <05731>

Cherubims


<03742>, and a flaming <03858> sword <02719> which turned <02015>


every way, to keep <08104> the way of the tree <06086> of life


<02416>.




Genesis   4




 1. And Adam <0120> knew <03045> Eve <02332> his wife <0802>; and


she conceived <02030>, and bare <03205> Cain <07014>, and said


<0559>, I have <01961> gotten <07069> a man <0376> from the LORD


<03068>.




 2  And she again <03254> bare <03205> his brother <0251> Abel


<01893>. And Abel <01893> was a keeper <07462> of sheep <06629>,

but


Cain <07014> was a tiller <05647> of the ground <0127>.




 3. And in process <07093> of time <03117> it came <01961> to

pass,


that Cain <07014> brought <0935> of the fruit <06529> of the

ground


<0127> an offering <04503> unto the LORD <03068>.




 4  And Abel <01893>, he also <01571> brought <0935> of the


firstlings <01062> of his flock <06629> and of the fat <02459>


thereof. And the LORD <03068> had respect <08159> unto Abel

<01893>


and to his offering <04503>:




 5  But unto Cain <07014> and to his offering <04503> he had not


respect <08159>. And Cain <07014> was very <03966> wroth <02734>,


and his countenance <06440> fell <05307>.




 6. And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Cain <07014>, Why

<04100>


art thou wroth <02734>? and why <04100> is thy countenance

<06440>


fallen <05307>?




 7  If <0518> thou doest well <03190>, shalt thou not be accepted


<07613>? and if <0518> thou doest not well <03190>, sin <02403>


lieth <07257> at the door <06607>. And unto thee [shall be] his


desire <08669>, and thou shalt rule <04910> over him.




 8. And Cain <07014> talked <0559> with Abel <01893> his brother


<0251>: and it came <01961> to pass, when they were in the field


<07704>, that Cain <07014> rose <06965> up against <0413> Abel


<01893> his brother <0251>, and slew <02026> him.




 9. And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Cain <07014>, Where

<0335>


[is] Abel <01893> thy brother <0251>? And he said <0559>, I know


<03045> not: [Am] I my brother's <0251> keeper <08104>?




 10  And he said <0559>, What <04100> hast thou done <06213>? the


voice <06963> of thy brother's <0251> blood <01818> crieth

<06817>


unto me from the ground <0127>.




 11  And now <06258> [art] thou cursed <0779> from the earth

<0127>,


which <0834> hath opened <06475> her mouth <06310> to receive


<03947> thy brother's <0251> blood <01818> from thy hand <03027>;




 12  When <03588> thou tillest <05647> the ground <0127>, it

shall


not henceforth <03254> yield <05414> unto thee her strength

<03581>;


a fugitive <05128> and a vagabond <05110> shalt thou be in the

earth


<0776>.




 13. And Cain <07014> said <0559> unto the LORD <03068>, My


punishment <05771> [is] greater <01419> than I can bear <05375>.




 14  Behold <02005>, thou hast driven <01644> me out this day


<03117> from the face <06440> of the earth <0127>; and from thy

face


<06440> shall I be hid <05641>; and I shall be a fugitive <05128>


and a vagabond <05110> in the earth <0776>; and it shall come


<01961> to pass, [that] every <03605> one that findeth <04672> me


shall slay <02026> me.




 15  And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto him, Therefore <03767>


whosoever <03605> slayeth <02026> Cain <07014>, vengeance <05358>


shall be taken on him sevenfold <07659>. And the LORD <03068> set


<07760> a mark <0226> upon Cain <07014>, lest <01115> any <03605>


finding <04672> him should kill <05221> him.




 16. And Cain <07014> went <03318> out from the presence <06440>

of


the LORD <03068>, and dwelt <03427> in the land <0776> of Nod


<05113>, on the east <06926> of Eden <05731>.




 17  And Cain <07014> knew <03045> his wife <0802>; and she


conceived <02030>, and bare <03205> Enoch <02585>: and he builded


<01129> a city <05892>, and called <07121> the name <08034> of

the


city <05892>, after the name <08034> of his son <01121>, Enoch


<02585>.




 18  And unto Enoch <02585> was born <03205> Irad <05897>: and

Irad


<05897> begat <03205> Mehujael <04232>: and Mehujael <04232>

begat


<03205> Methusael <04967>: and Methusael <04967> begat <03205>


Lamech <03929>.




 19. And Lamech <03929> took <03947> unto him two <08147> wives


<0802>: the name <08034> of the one <0259> [was] Adah <05711>,

and


the name <08034> of the other <08145> Zillah <06741>.




 20  And Adah <05711> bare <03205> Jabal <02989>: he was the

father


<01> of such as dwell <03427> in tents <0168>, and [of such as

have]


cattle <04735>.




 21  And his brother's <0251> name <08034> [was] Jubal <03106>:

he


was the father <01> of all <03605> such as handle <08610> the

harp


<03658> and organ <05748>.




 22  And Zillah <06741>, she also <01571> bare <03205> Tubalcain


<08423>, an instructer <03913> of every <03605> artificer

<02794> in


brass <05178> and iron <01270>: and the sister <0269> of

Tubalcain


<08423> [was] Naamah <05279>.




 23. And Lamech <03929> said <0559> unto his wives <0802>, Adah


<05711> and Zillah <06741>, Hear <08085> my voice <06963>; ye

wives


<0802> of Lamech <03929>, hearken <0238> unto my speech <0565>:

for


I have slain <02026> a man <0376> to my wounding <06482>, and a


young <03206> man to my hurt <02250>.




 24  If <03588> Cain <07014> shall be avenged <05358> sevenfold


<07659>, truly <0571> Lamech <03929> seventy <07657> and

sevenfold


<07659>.




 25. And Adam <0120> knew <03045> his wife <0802> again <05750>;

and


she bare <03205> a son <01121>, and called <07121> his name

<08034>


Seth <08352>: For God <0430>, [said she], hath appointed <07896>

me


another <0312> seed <02233> instead <08478> of Abel <01893>, whom


<03588> Cain <07014> slew <02026>.




 26  And to Seth <08352>, to him also <01571> there was born

<03205>


a son <01121>; and he called <07121> his name <08034> Enos

<0583>:


then <0227> began <02490> men <0582> to call <07121> upon the

name


<08034> of the LORD <03068>.




Genesis   5




 1. This <02088> [is] the book <05612> of the generations

<08435> of


Adam <0120>. In the day <03117> that God <0430> created <01254>

man


<0120>, in the likeness <01823> of God <0430> made <06213> he

him;




 2  Male <02145> and female <05347> created <01254> he them; and

Genesis   6




 1. And it came <01961> to pass, when <03588> men <0120> began


<02490> to multiply <07231> on <05921> the face <06440> of the

earth


<0127>, and daughters <01323> were born <03205> unto them,




 2  That the sons <01121> of God <0430> saw <07200> the daughters


<01363> of men <0120> that they [were] fair <02896>; and they

took


<03947> them wives <0802> of all <03605> which <0834> they chose


<0977>.




 3. And the LORD <03068> said <0559>, My spirit <07307> shall not


always <05769> strive <01777> with man <0120>, for that he also


<07683> [is] flesh <01320>: yet his days <03117> shall be an

hundred


<03967> and twenty <06242> years <08141>.




 4. There were giants <05303> in the earth <0776> in those

<01992>


days <03117>; and also <01571> after <0310> that, when <0834> the


sons <01121> of God <0430> came <0935> in unto the daughters

<01363>


of men <0120>, and they bare <03205> [children] to them, the same


<01992> [became] mighty <01368> men <0120> which <0834> [were] of


old <05769>, men <0582> of renown <08034>.




 5  And GOD <03068> saw <07200> that the wickedness <07451> of

man


<0120> [was] great <07227> in the earth <0776>, and [that] every


<03605> imagination <03336> of the thoughts <04284> of his heart


<03820> [was] only <07535> evil <07451> continually.




 6. And it repented <05162> the LORD <03068> that he had made


<06213> man <0120> on the earth <0776>, and it grieved <06087>

him


at <0413> his heart <03820>.




 7  And the LORD <03068> said <0559>, I will destroy <04229> man


<0120> whom <0834> I have created <01254> from the face <06440>

of


the earth <0127>; both man <0120>, and beast <0929>, and the


creeping <07431> thing, and the fowls <05775> of the air <08064>;


for it repenteth <05162> me that I have made <06213> them.




 8. But Noah <05146> found <04672> grace <02580> in the eyes

<05869>


of the LORD <03068>.




 9  These <0428> [are] the generations <08435> of Noah <05146>:

Noah


<05146> was a just <06662> man <0376> [and] perfect <08549> in

his


generations <08435>, [and] Noah <05146> walked <01980> with God


<0430>.




 10  And Noah <05146> begat <03205> three <07969> sons <01121>,

Shem


<08035>, Ham <02526>, and Japheth <03315>.




 11. The earth <0776> also was corrupt <07843> before <06440> God


<0430>, and the earth <0776> was filled <04390> with violence


<02555>.




 12  And God <0430> looked <07200> upon the earth <0776>, and,


behold <02009>, it was corrupt <07843>; for all <03605> flesh


<01320> had corrupted <07843> his way upon the earth <0776>.




 13. And God <0430> said <0559> unto Noah <05146>, The end

<07093>


of all <03605> flesh <01320> is come <0935> before <06440> me;

for


the earth <0776> is filled <04390> with violence <02555> through


<06440> them; and, behold <02005>, I will destroy <07843> them

with


the earth <0776>.




 14  Make <06213> thee an ark <08392> of gopher <01613> wood


<06086>; rooms <07064> shalt thou make <06213> in the ark

<08392>,


and shalt pitch <03724> it within <01004> and without <02351>

with


pitch <03724>.




 15  And this <02088> [is the fashion] which <0834> thou shalt

make


<06213> it [of]: The length <0753> of the ark <08392> [shall be]


three <07969> hundred <03967> cubits <0520>, the breadth <07341>

of


it fifty <02572> cubits <0520>, and the height <06967> of it

thirty


<07970> cubits <0520>.




 16  A window <06672> shalt thou make <06213> to the ark <08392>,


and in a cubit <0520> shalt thou finish <03615> it above <04605>;


and the door <06607> of the ark <08392> shalt thou set <07760> in


the side <06654> thereof; [with] lower <08482>, second <08145>,

and


third <07992> [stories] shalt thou make <06213> it.




 17  And, behold <02005>, I, even I, do bring <0935> a flood

<03999>


of waters <04325> upon the earth <0776>, to destroy <07843> all


<03605> flesh <01320>, wherein <0834> [is] the breath <07307> of


life <02416>, from under <08478> heaven <08064>; [and] every

<03605>


thing that [is] in the earth <0776> shall die <01478>.




 18  But with thee will I establish <06965> my covenant <01285>;

and


thou shalt come <0935> into <0413> the ark <08392>, thou, and thy


sons <01121>, and thy wife <0802>, and thy sons <01121>' wives


<0802> with thee.




 19  And of every <03605> living <02416> thing of all <03605>

flesh


<01320>, two <08147> of every <03605> [sort] shalt thou bring

<0935>


into <0413> the ark <08392>, to keep <08104> [them] alive <02421>


with thee; they shall be male <02145> and female <05347>.




 20  Of fowls <05775> after their kind <04327>, and of cattle

<0929>


after their kind <04327>, of every <03605> creeping <07431>

thing of


the earth <0127> after his kind <04327>, two <08147> of every


<03605> [sort] shall come <0935> unto thee, to keep <08104>

[them]


alive <02421>.




 21  And take <03947> thou unto thee of all <03605> food <03978>


that is eaten <0398>, and thou shalt gather <0622> [it] to thee;

and


it shall be for food <0402> for thee, and for them.




 22. Thus did <06213> Noah <05146>; according to all <03605> that


God <0430> commanded <06680> him, so <03651> did <06213> he.




Genesis   7




 1. And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Noah <05146>, Come

<0935>


thou and all <03605> thy house <01004> into <0413> the ark

<08392>;


for thee have I seen <07200> righteous <06662> before <06440> me

in


this <02088> generation <01755>.




 2  Of every <03605> clean <02889> beast <0929> thou shalt take


<03947> to thee by sevens <07651>, the male <0376> and his female


<0802>: and of beasts <0929> that [are] not clean <02889> by two


<08147>, the male <0376> and his female <0802>.




 3  Of fowls <05775> also <01571> of the air <08064> by sevens


<07651>, the male <02145> and the female <05347>; to keep seed


<02233> alive <02421> upon the face <06440> of all <03605> the

earth


<0776>.




 4  For yet <05750> seven <07651> days <03117>, and I will cause

it


to rain <04305> upon the earth <0776> forty <0705> days <03117>

and


forty <0705> nights <03915>; and every <03605> living substance


<03351> that I have made <06213> will I destroy <04229> from off


<05921> the face <06440> of the earth <0127>.




 5. And Noah <05146> did <06213> according unto all <03605> that

the


LORD <03068> commanded <06680> him.




 6  And Noah <05146> [was] six <08337> hundred <03967> years

<08141>


old <01121> when the flood <03999> of waters <04325> was upon the


earth <0776>.




 7  And Noah <05146> went <0935> in, and his sons <01121>, and

his


wife <0802>, and his sons <01121>' wives <0802> with him, into


<0413> the ark <08392>, because <06440> of the waters <04325> of

the


flood <03999>.




 8  Of clean <02889> beasts <0929>, and of beasts <0929> that

[are]


not clean <02889>, and of fowls <05775>, and of every <03605>

thing


that creepeth <07430> upon the earth <0127>,




 9  There went <0935> in two <08147> and two <08147> unto Noah


<05146> into <0413> the ark <08392>, the male <02145> and the

female


<05347>, as God <0430> had commanded <06680> Noah <05146>.




 10  And it came <01961> to pass after seven <07651> days

<03117>,


that the waters <04325> of the flood <03999> were upon the earth


<0776>.




 11. In the six <08337> hundredth <03967> year <08141> of Noah's


<05146> life <02416>, in the second <08145> month <02320>, the


seventeenth <07651> day <03117> of the month <02320>, the same


<02088> day <03117> were all <03605> the fountains <04599> of the


great <07227> deep <08415> broken <01234> up, and the windows

<0699>


of heaven <08064> were opened <06605>.




 12  And the rain <01653> was upon the earth <0776> forty <0705>


days <03117> and forty <0705> nights <03915>.




 13. In the selfsame day <03117> entered <0935> Noah <05146>, and


Shem <08035>, and Ham <02526>, and Japheth <03315>, the sons

<01121>


of Noah <05146>, and Noah's <05146> wife <0802>, and the three


<07969> wives <0802> of his sons <01121> with them, into <0413>

the


ark <08392>;




 14  They, and every <03605> beast <02416> after his kind

<04327>,


and all <03605> the cattle <0929> after their kind <04327>, and


every <03605> creeping <07431> thing that creepeth <07430> upon

the


earth <0776> after his kind <04327>, and every <03605> fowl

<05775>


after his kind <04327>, every <03605> bird <06833> of every

<03605>


sort <03671>.




 15  And they went <0935> in unto Noah <05146> into <0413> the

ark


<08392>, two <08147> and two <08147> of all <03605> flesh

<01320>,


wherein <0834> [is] the breath <07307> of life <02416>.




 16  And they that went <0935> in, went <0935> in male <02145>

and


female <05347> of all <03605> flesh <01320>, as God <0430> had


commanded <06680> him: and the LORD <03068> shut <05462> him in.




 17. And the flood <03999> was forty <0705> days <03117> upon the


earth <0776>; and the waters <04325> increased <07235>, and bare


<05375> up the ark <08392>, and it was lift <07311> up above

<05921>


the earth <0776>.




 18  And the waters <04325> prevailed <01396>, and were increased


<07235> greatly <03966> upon the earth <0776>; and the ark

<08392>


went <03212> upon the face <06440> of the waters <04325>.




 19  And the waters <04325> prevailed <01396> exceedingly <03966>


upon the earth <0776>; and all <03605> the high <01364> hills


<02022>, that [were] under <08478> the whole <03605> heaven

<08064>,


were covered <03680>.




 20  Fifteen <06240> cubits <0520> upward <04605> did the waters


<04325> prevail <01396>; and the mountains <02022> were covered


<03680>.




 21. And all <03605> flesh <01320> died <01478> that moved

<07430>


upon the earth <0776>, both of fowl <05775>, and of cattle

<0929>,


and of beast <02416>, and of every <03605> creeping <08318> thing


that creepeth <08317> upon the earth <0776>, and every <03605>

man


<0120>:




 22  All <03605> in whose <0834> nostrils <0639> [was] the breath


<05397> of life <02416>, of all <03605> that [was] in the dry


<02724> [land], died <04191>.




 23  And every <03605> living substance <03351> was destroyed


<04229> which <0834> was upon the face <06440> of the ground

<0127>,


both man <0120>, and cattle <0929>, and the creeping <07431>

things,


and the fowl <05775> of the heaven <08064>; and they were

destroyed


<04229> from the earth <0776>: and Noah <05146> only <0389>

remained


<07604> [alive], and they that [were] with him in the ark

<08392>.




 24  And the waters <04325> prevailed <01396> upon the earth

<0776>


an hundred <03967> and fifty <02572> days <03117>.




Genesis   8




 1. And God <0430> remembered <02142> Noah <05146>, and every


<03605> living <02416> thing, and all <03605> the cattle <0929>

that


[was] with him in the ark <08392>: and God <0430> made a wind


<07307> to pass <05674> over <05921> the earth <0776>, and the


waters <04325> asswaged <07918>;




 2  The fountains <04599> also of the deep <08415> and the

windows


<0699> of heaven <08064> were stopped <05534>, and the rain

<01653>


from heaven <08064> was restrained <03607>;




 3  And the waters <04325> returned <07725> from off <05921> the


earth <0776> continually: and after the end <07097> of the

hundred


<03967> and fifty <02572> days <03117> the waters <04325> were


abated <02637>.




 4. And the ark <08392> rested <05117> in the seventh <07637>

month


<02320>, on the seventeenth <07651> day <03117> of the month


<02320>, upon the mountains <02022> of Ararat <0780>.




 5  And the waters <04325> decreased <02637> continually <01980>


until <05704> the tenth <06224> month <02320>: in the tenth

<06224>


[month], on the first <0259> [day <03117>] of the month <02320>,


were the tops <07218> of the mountains <02022> seen <07200>.




 6. And it came <01961> to pass at the end <07093> of forty

<0705>


days <03117>, that Noah <05146> opened <06605> the window

<02474> of


the ark <08392> which <0834> he had made <06213>:




 7  And he sent <07971> forth a raven <06158>, which went <03318>


forth <03318> to and fro <07725>, until <05704> the waters

<04325>


were dried <03001> up from off <05921> the earth <0776>.




 8  Also he sent <07971> forth a dove <03123> from him, to see


<07200> if the waters <04325> were abated <07043> from off

<05921>


the face <06440> of the ground <0127>;




 9  But the dove <03123> found <04672> no <03808> rest <04494>

for


the sole <03709> of her foot <07272>, and she returned <07725>

unto


him into <0413> the ark <08392>, for the waters <04325> [were] on


<05921> the face <06440> of the whole <03605> earth <0776>: then

he


put <07971> forth <07971> his hand <03027>, and took <03947> her,


and pulled <04026> her in unto him into <0413> the ark <08392>.




 10  And he stayed <02342> yet other <0312> seven <07651> days


<03117>; and again <03254> he sent <07971> forth the dove <03123>


out of the ark <08392>;




 11  And the dove <03123> came <0935> in to him in the evening


<06153>; and, lo <02009>, in her mouth <06310> [was] an olive


<02132> leaf <05929> pluckt <02965> off: so Noah <05146> knew


<03045> that the waters <04325> were abated <07043> from off

<05921>


the earth <0776>.




 12  And he stayed <03176> yet other <0312> seven <07651> days


<03117>; and sent <07971> forth the dove <03123>; which returned


<07725> not again <03254> unto him any <05750> more <05750>.




 13. And it came <01961> to pass in the six <08337> hundredth


<03967> and first <07223> year <08141>, in the first <07223>


[month], the first <0259> [day <03117>] of the month <02320>, the


waters <04325> were dried <02717> up from off <05921> the earth


<0776>: and Noah <05146> removed <05493> the covering <04372> of

the


ark <08392>, and looked <07200>, and, behold <02009>, the face


<06440> of the ground <0127> was dry <02720>.




 14  And in the second <08145> month <02320>, on the seven

<07651>


and twentieth <06242> day <03117> of the month <02320>, was the


earth <0776> dried <03001>.




 15. And God <0430> spake <01696> unto Noah <05146>, saying

<0559>,




 16  Go <03318> forth <03318> of the ark <08392>, thou, and thy

wife


<0802>, and thy sons <01121>, and thy sons <01121>' wives <0802>


with thee.




 17  Bring <03318> forth <03318> with thee every <03605> living


<02416> thing that [is] with thee, of all <03605> flesh <01320>,


[both] of fowl <05775>, and of cattle <0929>, and of every

<03605>


creeping <07431> thing that creepeth <07430> upon the earth

<0776>;


that they may breed <08317> abundantly <08317> in the earth

<0776>,


and be fruitful <06509>, and multiply <07235> upon the earth

<0776>.




 18  And Noah <05146> went <03318> forth <03318>, and his sons


<01121>, and his wife <0802>, and his sons <01121>' wives <0802>


with him:




 19  Every <03605> beast <02416>, every <03605> creeping <07431>


thing, and every <03605> fowl <05775>, [and] whatsoever <03605>


creepeth <07430> upon the earth <0776>, after their kinds

<04940>,


went <03318> forth <03318> out of the ark <08392>.




 20. And Noah <05146> builded <01129> an altar <04196> unto the

LORD


<03068>; and took <03947> of every <03605> clean <02889> beast


<0929>, and of every <03605> clean <02889> fowl <05775>, and

offered


<05927> burnt <05930> offerings on the altar <04196>.




 21  And the LORD <03068> smelled <07306> a sweet <05207> savour


<07381>; and the LORD <03068> said <0559> in his heart <03820>, I


will not again <03254> curse <07043> the ground <0127> any

<05750>


more <05750> for man's <0120> sake <05668>; for the imagination


<03336> of man's <0120> heart <03820> [is] evil <07451> from his


youth <05271>; neither will I again <03254> smite <05221> any


<05750> more <05750> every <03605> thing living <02416>, as I

have


done <06213>.




 22  While <05750> the earth <0776> remaineth <03117>, seedtime


<02233> and harvest <07105>, and cold <07120> and heat <02527>,

and


summer <07019> and winter <02779>, and day <03117> and night

<03915>


shall not cease <07673>.




Genesis   9




 1. And God <0430> blessed <01288> Noah <05146> and his sons


<01121>, and said <0559> unto them, Be fruitful <06509>, and


multiply <07235>, and replenish <04390> the earth <0776>.




 2  And the fear <04172> of you and the dread <02844> of you

shall


be upon every <03605> beast <02416> of the earth <0776>, and upon


every fowl <05775> of the air <08064>, upon all <03605> that

moveth


<07430> [upon] the earth <0127>, and upon all <03605> the fishes


<01709> of the sea <03220>; into your hand <03027> are they


delivered <05414>.




 3  Every <03605> moving <07430> thing that liveth <02416> shall

be


meat <0402> for you; even as the green <03418> herb <06212> have

I


given <05414> you all <03605> things.




 4  But flesh <01320> with the life <05315> thereof, [which is]

the


blood <01818> thereof, shall ye not eat <0398>.




 5  And surely <0389> your blood <01818> of your lives <05315>

will


I require <01875>; at the hand <03027> of every beast <02416>

will I


require <01875> it, and at the hand <03027> of man <0120>; at the


hand <03027> of every man's <0120> brother <0251> will I require


<01875> the life <05315> of man <0120>.




 6  Whoso sheddeth <08210> man's <0120> blood <01818>, by man

<0120>


shall his blood <01818> be shed <08210>: for in the image

<06754> of


God <0430> made <06213> he man <0120>.




 7  And you, be ye fruitful <06509>, and multiply <07235>; bring


<08317> forth <08317> abundantly <08317> in the earth <0776>, and


multiply <07235> therein.




 8. And God <0430> spake <0559> unto Noah <05146>, and to his

sons


<01121> with him, saying <0559>,




 9  And I, behold <02005>, I establish <06965> my covenant

<01285>


with you, and with your seed <02233> after <0310> you;




 10  And with every <03605> living <02416> creature <05315> that


[is] with you, of the fowl <05775>, of the cattle <0929>, and of


every <03605> beast <02416> of the earth <0776> with you; from

all


<03605> that go <03318> out of the ark <08392>, to every <03605>


beast <02416> of the earth <0776>.




 11  And I will establish <06965> my covenant <01285> with you;


neither <03808> shall all <03605> flesh <01320> be cut <03772>

off


any <05750> more <05750> by the waters <04325> of a flood

<03999>;


neither <03808> shall there any <05750> more <05750> be a flood


<03999> to destroy <07843> the earth <0776>.




 12. And God <0430> said <0559>, This <02063> [is] the token

<0226>


of the covenant <01285> which <0834> I make <05414> between

<0996>


me and you and every <03605> living <02416> creature <05315> that


[is] with you, for perpetual <05769> generations <01755>:




 13  I do set <05414> my bow <07198> in the cloud <06051>, and it


shall be for a token <0226> of a covenant <01285> between <0996>

me


and the earth <0776>.




 14  And it shall come <0935> to pass, when I bring <06049> a

cloud


<06051> over <05921> the earth <0776>, that the bow <07198>

shall be


seen <07200> in the cloud <06051>:




 15  And I will remember <02142> my covenant <01285>, which

<0834>


[is] between <0996> me and you and every <03605> living <02416>


creature <05315> of all <03605> flesh <01320>; and the waters


<04325> shall no <03808> more <05750> become <01961> a flood

<03999>


to destroy <07843> all <03605> flesh <01320>.




 16  And the bow <07198> shall be in the cloud <06051>; and I

will


look <07200> upon it, that I may remember <02142> the everlasting


<05769> covenant <01285> between <0996> God <0430> and every

<03605>


living <02416> creature <05315> of all <03605> flesh <01320> that


[is] upon the earth <0776>.




 17  And God <0430> said <0559> unto Noah <05146>, This [is] the


token <0226> of the covenant <01285>, which <0834> I have


established <06965> between <0996> me and all <03605> flesh

<01320>


that [is] upon the earth <0776>.




 18. And the sons <01121> of Noah <05146>, that went <03318>

forth


<03318> of the ark <08392>, were Shem <08035>, and Ham <02526>,

and


Japheth <03315>: and Ham <02526> [is] the father <01> of Canaan


<03667>.




 19  These <0428> [are] the three <07969> sons <01121> of Noah


<05146>: and of them was the whole <03605> earth <0776>

overspread


<05310>.




 20  And Noah <05146> began <02490> [to be] an husbandman, and he


planted <05193> a vineyard <03754>:




 21  And he drank <08354> of the wine <03196>, and was drunken


<07943>; and he was uncovered <01540> within <08432> his tent


<0168>.




 22  And Ham <02526>, the father <01> of Canaan <03667>, saw

<07200>


the nakedness <06172> of his father <01>, and told <05046> his

two


<08147> brethren <0251> without <02351>.




 23  And Shem <08035> and Japheth <03315> took <03947> a garment


<08071>, and laid <07760> [it] upon both <08147> their shoulders


<07926>, and went <03212> backward <0322>, and covered <03680>

the


nakedness <06172> of their father <01>; and their faces <06440>


[were] backward <0322>, and they saw <07200> not their father's

<01>


nakedness <06172>.




 24. And Noah <05146> awoke <03364> from his wine <03196>, and

knew


<03045> what his younger <06996> son <01121> had done <06213>

unto


him.




 25  And he said <0559>, Cursed <0779> [be] Canaan <03667>; a


servant <05650> of servants <05650> shall he be unto his brethren


<0251>.




 26  And he said <0559>, Blessed <01288> [be] the LORD <03068>

God


<0430> of Shem <08035>; and Canaan <03667> shall be his servant


<05650>.




 27  God <0430> shall enlarge <06601> Japheth <03315>, and he

shall


dwell <07931> in the tents <0168> of Shem <08035>; and Canaan


<03667> shall be his servant <05650>.




 28. And Noah <05146> lived <02421> after <0310> the flood

<03999>


three <07969> hundred <03967> and fifty <02572> years <08141>.




 29  And all <03605> the days <03117> of Noah <05146> were nine


<08672> hundred <03967> and fifty <02572> years <08141>: and he

died


<04191>.




Genesis  10




 1. Now these <0428> [are] the generations <08435> of the sons


<01121> of Noah <05146>, Shem <08035>, Ham <02526>, and Japheth


<03315>: and unto them were sons <01121> born <03205> after

<0310>


the flood <03999>.




 2  The sons <01121> of Japheth <03315>; Gomer <01586>, and Magog


<04031>, and Madai <04074>, and Javan <03120>, and Tubal <08422>,


and Meshech <04902>, and Tiras <08493>.




 3  And the sons <01121> of Gomer <01586>; Ashkenaz <0813>, and


Riphath <07384>, and Togarmah <08425>.




 4  And the sons <01121> of Javan <03120>; Elishah <0473>, and


Tarshish <08659>, Kittim <03794>, and Dodanim <01721>.




 5  By these <0428> were the isles <0339> of the Gentiles <01471>


divided <06504> in their lands <0776>; every <0376> one <0376>

after


his tongue <03956>, after their families <04940>, in their

nations


<01471>.




 6. And the sons <01121> of Ham <02526>; Cush <03568>, and

Mizraim


<04714>, and Phut <06316>, and Canaan <03667>.




 7  And the sons <01121> of Cush <03568>; Seba <05434>, and

Havilah


<02341>, and Sabtah <05454>, and Raamah <07484>, and Sabtecha


<05455>: and the sons <01121> of Raamah <07484>; Sheba <07614>,

and


Dedan <01719>.




 8  And Cush <03568> begat <03205> Nimrod <05248>: he began

<02490>


to be a mighty <01368> one in the earth <0776>.




 9  He was a mighty <01368> hunter <06718> before <06440> the

LORD


<03068>: wherefore it is said <0559>, Even as Nimrod <05248> the


mighty <01368> hunter <06718> before <06440> the LORD <03068>.




 10  And the beginning <07225> of his kingdom <04467> was Babel


<0894>, and Erech <0751>, and Accad <0390>, and Calneh <03641>,

in


the land <0776> of Shinar <08152>.




 11  Out of that land <0776> went <03318> forth <03318> Asshur


<0804>, and builded <01129> Nineveh <05210>, and the city <05892>


Rehoboth <07344>, and Calah <03625>,




 12  And Resen <07449> between <0996> Nineveh <05210> and Calah


<03625>: the same <01931> [is] a great <01419> city <05892>.




 13  And Mizraim <04714> begat <03205> Ludim <03866>, and Anamim


<06047>, and Lehabim <03853>, and Naphtuhim <05320>,




 14  And Pathrusim <06625>, and Casluhim <03695>, (out of whom


<0834> came <03318> Philistim <06430>,) and Caphtorim <03732>.




 15. And Canaan <03667> begat <03205> Sidon <06721> his firstborn


<01060>, and Heth <02845>,




 16  And the Jebusite <02983>, and the Amorite <0567>, and the


Girgasite <01622>,




 17  And the Hivite <02340>, and the Arkite <06208>, and the

Sinite


<05513>,




 18  And the Arvadite <0721>, and the Zemarite <06786>, and the


Hamathite <02577>: and afterward <0310> were the families

<04940> of


the Canaanites <03669> spread <06327> abroad <05310>.




 19  And the border <01366> of the Canaanites <03669> was from

Sidon


<06721>, as thou comest <0935> to Gerar <01642>, unto Gaza

<05804>;


as thou goest <0935>, unto Sodom <05467>, and Gomorrah <06017>,

and


Admah <0126>, and Zeboim <06636>, even unto Lasha <03962>.




 20  These <0428> [are] the sons <01121> of Ham <02526>, after

their


families <04940>, after their tongues <03956>, in their countries


<0776>, [and] in their nations <01471>.




 21. Unto Shem <08035> also <01571>, the father <01> of all

<03605>


the children <01121> of Eber <05677>, the brother <0251> of

Japheth


<03315> the elder <01419>, even <01571> to him were [children]

born


<03205>.




 22  The children <01121> of Shem <08035>; Elam <05867>, and

Asshur


<0804>, and Arphaxad <0775>, and Lud <03865>, and Aram <0758>.




 23  And the children <01121> of Aram <0758>; Uz <05780>, and Hul


<02343>, and Gether <01666>, and Mash <04851>.




 24  And Arphaxad <0775> begat <03205> Salah <07974>; and Salah


<07974> begat <03205> Eber <05677>.




 25  And unto Eber <05677> were born <03205> two <08147> sons


<01121>: the name <08034> of one <0259> [was] Peleg <06389>; for

in


his days <03117> was the earth <0776> divided <06385>; and his


brother's <0251> name <08034> [was] Joktan <03355>.




 26  And Joktan <03355> begat <03205> Almodad <0486>, and Sheleph


<08026>, and Hazarmaveth <02700>, and Jerah <03392>,




 27  And Hadoram <01913>, and Uzal <0187>, and Diklah <01853>,




 28  And Obal <05745>, and Abimael <039>, and Sheba <07614>,




 29  And Ophir <0211>, and Havilah <02341>, and Jobab <03103>:

all


<03605> these <0428> [were] the sons <01121> of Joktan <03355>.




 30  And their dwelling <04186> was from Mesha <04331>, as thou


goest <0935> unto Sephar <05611> a mount <02022> of the east


<06924>.




 31  These <0428> [are] the sons <01121> of Shem <08035>, after


their families <04940>, after their tongues <03956>, in their

lands


<0776>, after their nations <01471>.




 32  These <0428> [are] the families <04940> of the sons <01121>

of


Noah <05146>, after their generations <08435>, in their nations


<01471>: and by these <0428> were the nations <01471> divided


<05504> in the earth <0776> after <0310> the flood <03999>.




Genesis  11




 1. And the whole <03605> earth <0776> was of one <0259> language


<08193>, and of one <0259> speech <01697>.




 2  And it came <01961> to pass, as they journeyed <05265> from

the


east <06924>, that they found <04672> a plain <01237> in the land


<0776> of Shinar <08152>; and they dwelt <03427> there <08033>.




 3  And they said <0559> one <0376> to another <07453>, Go

<03051>


to, let us make brick <03835>, and burn <08313> them throughly.

And


they had <01961> brick <03843> for stone <068>, and slime <02564>


had <01961> they for morter <02563>.




 4  And they said <0559>, Go <03051> to, let us build <01129> us

a


city <05892> and a tower <04026>, whose top <07218> [may reach]

unto


heaven <08064>; and let us make <06213> us a name <08034>, lest


<06435> we be scattered <06327> abroad <06527> upon the face

<06440>


of the whole <03605> earth <0776>.




 5. And the LORD <03068> came <03381> down <03381> to see <07200>


the city <05892> and the tower <04026>, which <0834> the children


<01121> of men <0120> builded <01129>.




 6  And the LORD <03068> said <0559>, Behold <02005>, the people


<05971> [is] one <0259>, and they have all <03605> one <0259>


language <08193>; and this <02088> they begin <02490> to do

<06213>:


and now <06258> nothing will be restrained <01219> from them,

which


they have imagined <02161> to do <06213>.




 7  Go <03051> to, let us go <03381> down <03381>, and there

<08033>


confound <01101> their language <08193>, that they may not


understand <08085> one <0376> another's <07453> speech <08193>.




 8  So the LORD <03068> scattered <06327> them abroad <06527>

from


thence <08033> upon the face <06440> of all <03605> the earth


<0776>: and they left <02308> off to build <01129> the city

<05892>.




 9  Therefore is the name <08034> of it called <07121> Babel

<0894>;


because <03588> the LORD <03068> did there <08033> confound

<01101>


the language <08193> of all <03605> the earth <0776>: and from


thence <08033> did the LORD <03068> scatter <06327> them abroad


<06527> upon the face <06440> of all <03605> the earth <0776>.




 10. These <0428> [are] the generations <08435> of Shem <08035>:


Shem <08035> [was] an hundred <03967> years <08141> old <01121>,

and


begat <03205> Arphaxad <0775> two <08147> years <08141> after

<0310>


the flood <03999>:




 11  And Shem <08035> lived <02421> after <0310> he begat <03205>


Arphaxad <0775> five <02568> hundred <03967> years <08141>, and


begat <03205> sons <01121> and daughters <01363>.




 12  And Arphaxad <0775> lived <02425> five <02568> and thirty


<07970> years <08141>, and begat <03205> Salah <07974>:




 13  And Arphaxad <0775> lived <02421> after <0310> he begat

<03205>


Salah <07974> four <0702> hundred <03967> and three <07969> years


<08141>, and begat <03205> sons <01121> and daughters <01363>.




 14  And Salah <07974> lived <02425> thirty <07970> years

<08141>,


and begat <03205> Eber <05677>:




 15  And Salah <07974> lived <02421> after <0310> he begat

<03205>


Eber <05677> four <0702> hundred <03967> and three <07969> years


<08141>, and begat <03205> sons <01121> and daughters <01363>.




 16  And Eber <05677> lived <02421> four <0702> and thirty

<07970>


years <08141>, and begat <03205> Peleg <06389>:




 17  And Eber <05677> lived <02421> after <0310> he begat <03205>


Peleg <06389> four <0702> hundred <03967> and thirty <07970>

years


<08141>, and begat <03205> sons <01121> and daughters <01363>.




 18  And Peleg <06389> lived <02421> thirty <07970> years

<08141>,


and begat <03205> Reu <07466>:




 19  And Peleg <06389> lived <02421> after <0310> he begat

<03205>


Reu <07466> two <08147> hundred <03967> and nine <08672> years


<08141>, and begat <03205> sons <01121> and daughters <01363>.




 20  And Reu <07466> lived <02421> two <08147> and thirty <07970>


years <08141>, and begat <03205> Serug <08286>:




 21  And Reu <07466> lived <02421> after <0310> he begat <03205>


Serug <08286> two <08147> hundred <03967> and seven <07651> years


<08141>, and begat <03205> sons <01121> and daughters <01363>.




 22  And Serug <08286> lived <02421> thirty <07970> years

<08141>,


and begat <03205> Nahor <05152>:




 23  And Serug <08286> lived <02421> after <0310> he begat

<03205>


Nahor <05152> two <08147> hundred <03967> years <08141>, and

begat


<03205> sons <01121> and daughters <01363>.




 24  And Nahor <05152> lived <02421> nine <08672> and twenty

<06242>


years <08141>, and begat <03205> Terah <08646>:




 25  And Nahor <05152> lived <02421> after <0310> he begat

<03205>


Terah <08646> an hundred <03967> and nineteen years <08141>, and


begat <03205> sons <01121> and daughters <01363>.




 26  And Terah <08646> lived <02421> seventy <07657> years

<08141>,


and begat <03205> Abram <087>, Nahor <05152>, and Haran <02309>.




 27. Now these <0428> [are] the generations <08435> of Terah


<08646>: Terah <08646> begat <03205> Abram <087>, Nahor <05152>,

and


Haran <02309>; and Haran <02309> begat <03205> Lot <03876>.




 28  And Haran <02309> died <04191> before his father <01> Terah


<08646> in the land <0776> of his nativity <04138>, in Ur <0218>

of


the Chaldees <03778>.




 29  And Abram <087> and Nahor <05152> took <03947> them wives


<0802>: the name <08034> of Abram's <087> wife <0802> [was] Sarai


<08297>; and the name <08034> of Nahor's <05152> wife <0802>,

Milcah


<04435>, the daughter <01323> of Haran <02309>, the father <01>

of


Milcah <04435>, and the father <01> of Iscah <03252>.




 30  But Sarai <08297> was barren <06135>; she [had] no <0369>

child


<02056>.




 31  And Terah <08646> took <03947> Abram <087> his son <01121>,

and


Lot <03876> the son of Haran <02309> his son's <01121> son, and


Sarai <08297> his daughter <03618> in law <03618>, his son

Abram's


<087> wife <0802>; and they went <03318> forth <03318> with them


from Ur <0218> of the Chaldees <03778>, to go <03212> into <0413>


the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>; and they came <0935> unto

Haran


<02771>, and dwelt <03427> there <08033>.




 32  And the days <03117> of Terah <08646> were two <08147>

hundred


<03967> and five <02568> years <08141>: and Terah <08646> died


<04191> in Haran <02771>.




Genesis  12




 1. Now the LORD <03068> had said <0559> unto Abram <087>, Get


<03212> thee out of thy country <0776>, and from thy kindred


<04138>, and from thy father's <01> house <01004>, unto a land


<0776> that I will shew <07200> thee:




 2  And I will make <06213> of thee a great <01419> nation

<01471>,


and I will bless <01288> thee, and make thy name <08034> great


<01431>; and thou shalt be a blessing <01293>:




 3  And I will bless <01288> them that bless <01288> thee, and

curse


<0779> him that curseth <07043> thee: and in thee shall all

<03605>


families <04940> of the earth <0127> be blessed <01288>.




 4. So Abram <087> departed <03212>, as the LORD <03068> had

spoken


<01696> unto him; and Lot <03876> went <03212> with him: and

Abram


<087> [was] seventy <07657> and five <02568> years <08141> old


<01121> when he departed <03318> out of Haran <02771>.




 5  And Abram <087> took <03947> Sarai <08297> his wife <0802>,

and


Lot <03876> his brother's <0251> son <01121>, and all <03605>

their


substance <07399> that they had gathered <07408>, and the souls


<05315> that they had gotten <06213> in Haran <02771>; and they

went


<03318> forth <03318> to go <03212> into <0413> the land <0776>

of


Canaan <03667>; and into <0413> the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>


they came <0935>.




 6. And Abram <087> passed <05674> through the land <0776> unto

the


place <04725> of Sichem <07927>, unto the plain <0436> of Moreh


<04176>. And the Canaanite <03669> [was] then <0227> in the land


<0776>.




 7  And the LORD <03068> appeared <07200> unto Abram <087>, and

said


<0559>, Unto thy seed <02233> will I give <05414> this <02063>

land


<0776>: and there <08033> builded <01129> he an altar <04196>

unto


the LORD <03068>, who <04310> appeared <07200> unto him.




 8  And he removed <06275> from thence <08033> unto a mountain


<02022> on the east <06924> of Bethel <01008>, and pitched

<05186>


his tent <0168>, [having] Bethel <01008> on the west <03220>, and


Hai <05857> on the east <06924>: and there <08033> he builded


<01129> an altar <04196> unto the LORD <03068>, and called

<07121>


upon the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>.




 9  And Abram <087> journeyed <05265>, going <01980> on still


<05265> toward the south <05045>.




 10. And there was a famine <07458> in the land <0776>: and Abram


<087> went <03381> down <03381> into <0413> Egypt <04714> to

sojourn


<01481> there <08033>; for the famine <07458> [was] grievous

<03515>


in the land <0776>.




 11  And it came <01961> to pass, when <0834> he was come <07126>


near <07126> to enter <0935> into <0935> Egypt <04714>, that he

said


<0559> unto Sarai <08297> his wife <0802>, Behold <02009> now


<04994>, I know <03045> that thou [art] a fair <03303> woman

<0802>


to look <04258> upon:




 12  Therefore it shall come <0935> to pass, when <03588> the


Egyptians <04713> shall see <07200> thee, that they shall say


<0559>, This <02063> [is] his wife <0802>: and they will kill


<02026> me, but they will save <02421> thee alive <02421>.




 13  Say <0559>, I pray <04994> thee, thou [art] my sister

<0269>:


that it may be well <03190> with me for thy sake <05668>; and my


soul <05315> shall live <02421> because <01558> of thee.




 14. And it came <01961> to pass, that, when Abram <087> was come


<0935> into Egypt <04714>, the Egyptians <04713> beheld <07200>

the


woman <0802> that she [was] very <03966> fair <03303>.




 15  The princes <08269> also of Pharaoh <06547> saw <07200> her,


and commended <01984> her before <0413> Pharaoh <06547>: and the


woman <0802> was taken <03947> into Pharaoh's <06547> house

<01004>.




 16  And he entreated Abram <087> well <03190> for her sake

<05668>:


and he had <01961> sheep <06629>, and oxen <01241>, and he asses


<02543>, and menservants <05650>, and maidservants <08198>, and

she


asses <0860>, and camels <01581>.




 17  And the LORD <03068> plagued <05060> Pharaoh <06547> and his


house <01004> with great <01419> plagues <05061> because <01697>

of


Sarai <08297> Abram's <087> wife <0802>.




 18  And Pharaoh <06547> called <07121> Abram <087>, and said


<0559>, What <04100> [is] this <02063> [that] thou hast done

<06213>


unto me? why <04100> didst thou not tell <05046> me that she

[was]


thy wife <0802>?




 19  Why <04100> saidst <0559> thou, She [is] my sister <0269>?

so I


might have taken <03947> her to me to wife <0802>: now <06258>


therefore behold <02009> thy wife <0802>, take <03947> [her],

and go


<03212> thy way.




 20  And Pharaoh <06547> commanded <06680> [his] men <0582>


concerning him: and they sent <07971> him away, and his wife

<0802>,


and all <03605> that he had.




Genesis  13




 1. And Abram <087> went <05927> up out of Egypt <04714>, he, and


his wife <0802>, and all <03605> that he had, and Lot <03876>

with


him, into the south <05045>.




 2  And Abram <087> [was] very <03966> rich <03513> in cattle


<04735>, in silver <03701>, and in gold <02091>.




 3  And he went <03212> on his journeys <04550> from the south


<05045> even to Bethel <01008>, unto the place <04725> where

<0834>


his tent <0168> had been <01961> at the beginning <08462>,

between


<0996> Bethel <01008> and Hai <05857>;




 4  Unto the place <04725> of the altar <04196>, which <0834> he

had


made there <08033> at the first <07223>: and there <08033> Abram


<087> called <07121> on the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>.




 5. And Lot <03876> also <01571>, which went <01980> with Abram


<087>, had <01961> flocks <06629>, and herds <01241>, and tents


<0168>.




 6  And the land <0776> was not able <05375> to bear <05375>

them,


that they might dwell <03427> together <03162>: for their

substance


<07399> was great <07227>, so that they could <03201> not dwell


<03427> together <03162>.




 7  And there was a strife <07379> between <0996> the herdmen


<07462> of Abram's <087> cattle <04735> and the herdmen <07462>

of


Lot's <03876> cattle <04735>: and the Canaanite <03669> and the


Perizzite <06522> dwelled <03427> then <0227> in the land <0776>.




 8  And Abram <087> said <0559> unto Lot <03876>, Let there be no


<0408> strife <04808>, I pray <04994> thee, between <0996> me and


thee, and between <0996> my herdmen <07462> and thy herdmen

<07462>;


for we [be] brethren <0251>.




 9  [Is] not the whole <03605> land <0776> before <06440> thee?


separate <06504> thyself, I pray <04994> thee, from me: if <0518>


[thou wilt take <03947>] the left <08040> hand <08041>, then I

will


go to the right <03231>; or if <0518> [thou depart] to the right


<03225> hand <03225>, then I will go to the left <08041>.




 10. And Lot <03876> lifted <05375> up his eyes <05869>, and

beheld


<07200> all <03605> the plain <03603> of Jordan <03383>, that it


[was] well watered <04945> every <03605> where, before <06440>

the


LORD <03068> destroyed <07843> Sodom <05467> and Gomorrah

<06017>,


[even] as the garden <01588> of the LORD <03068>, like the land


<0776> of Egypt <04714>, as thou comest <0935> unto Zoar <06820>.




 11  Then Lot <03876> chose <0977> him all <03605> the plain

<03603>


of Jordan <03383>; and Lot <03876> journeyed <05265> east

<06924>:


and they separated <06504> themselves the one <0376> from the

other


<0251>.




 12  Abram <087> dwelled <03427> in the land <0776> of Canaan


<03667>, and Lot <03876> dwelled <03427> in the cities <05892> of


the plain <03603>, and pitched <0167> [his] tent <0167> toward


<05704> Sodom <05467>.




 13  But the men <0582> of Sodom <05467> [were] wicked <07451>

and


sinners <02400> before the LORD <03068> exceedingly <03966>.




 14. And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Abram <087>, after

<0310>


that Lot <03876> was separated <06504> from him, Lift <05375> up

now


thine eyes <05869>, and look <07200> from the place <04725> where


<0834> thou art northward <06828>, and southward <05045>, and


eastward <06924>, and westward <03220>:




 15  For all <03605> the land <0776> which <0834> thou seest


<07200>, to thee will I give <05414> it, and to thy seed <02233>

for


ever <05769>.




 16  And I will make <07760> thy seed <02233> as the dust

<06083> of


the earth <0776>: so <0834> that if <0518> a man <0376> can

<03201>


number <04487> the dust <06083> of the earth <0776>, [then] shall


thy seed <02233> also <01571> be numbered <04487>.




 17  Arise <06965>, walk <01980> through the land <0776> in the


length <0753> of it and in the breadth <07341> of it; for I will


give <05414> it unto thee.




 18  Then Abram <087> removed <0167> [his] tent <0167>, and came


<0935> and dwelt <03427> in the plain <0436> of Mamre <04471>,

which


<0834> [is] in Hebron <02275>, and built <01129> there <08033> an


altar <04196> unto the LORD <03068>.




Genesis  14




 1. And it came <01961> to pass in the days <03117> of Amraphel


<0569> king <04428> of Shinar <08152>, Arioch <0746> king

<04428> of


Ellasar <0495>, Chedorlaomer <03540> king <04428> of Elam

<05867>,


and Tidal <08413> king <04428> of nations <01471>;




 2  [That these] made <06213> war <04421> with Bera <01298> king


<04428> of Sodom <05467>, and with Birsha <01306> king <04428> of


Gomorrah <06017>, Shinab <08134> king <04428> of Admah <0126>,

and


Shemeber <08038> king <04428> of Zeboiim <06636>, and the king


<04428> of Bela <01106>, which <01931> is Zoar <06820>.




 3  All <03605> these <0428> were joined <02266> together in the


vale <06010> of Siddim <07708>, which <01931> is the salt <04417>


sea <03220>.




 4  Twelve years <08141> they served <05647> Chedorlaomer

<03540>,


and in the thirteenth year <08141> they rebelled <04775>.




 5  And in the fourteenth year <08141> came <0935> Chedorlaomer


<03540>, and the kings <04428> that [were] with him, and smote


<05221> the Rephaims <07497> in Ashteroth <06255> Karnaim, and

the


Zuzims in Ham <01990>, and the Emims <0368> in Shaveh <07741>


Kiriathaim <07741>,




 6  And the Horites <02752> in their mount <02042> Seir <08165>,


unto Elparan <0364>, which <0834> [is] by the wilderness <04057>.




 7  And they returned <07725>, and came <0935> to Enmishpat,

which


<0834> [is] Kadesh <06946>, and smote <05221> all <03605> the


country <07704> of the Amalekites <06003>, and also <01571> the


Amorites <0567>, that dwelt <03427> in Hazezontamar <02688>.




 8  And there went <03318> out the king <04428> of Sodom <05467>,


and the king <04428> of Gomorrah <06017>, and the king <04428> of


Admah <0126>, and the king <04428> of Zeboiim <06636>, and the

king


<04428> of Bela <01106> (the same <01931> [is] Zoar <06820>;) and


they joined <06186> battle <04421> with them in the vale <06010>

of


Siddim <07708>;




 9  With Chedorlaomer <03540> the king <04428> of Elam <05867>,

and


with Tidal <08413> king <04428> of nations <01471>, and Amraphel


<0569> king <04428> of Shinar <08152>, and Arioch <0746> king


<04428> of Ellasar <0495>; four <0702> kings <04428> with five


<02568>.




 10  And the vale <06010> of Siddim <07708> [was full of]

slimepits


<02564>; and the kings <04428> of Sodom <05467> and Gomorrah

<06017>


fled <05127>, and fell <05307> there <08033>; and they that

remained


<07604> fled <05127> to the mountain <02022>.




 11  And they took <03947> all <03605> the goods <07399> of Sodom


<05467> and Gomorrah <06017>, and all <03605> their victuals

<0400>,


and went <03212> their way <03212>.




 12  And they took <03947> Lot <03876>, Abram's <087> brother's


<0251> son <01121>, who <01931> dwelt <03427> in Sodom <05467>,

and


his goods <07399>, and departed <03212>.




 13. And there came <0935> one that had escaped <06412>, and told


<05046> Abram <087> the Hebrew <05680>; for he dwelt <07931> in

the


plain <0436> of Mamre <04471> the Amorite <0567>, brother <0251>

of


Eshcol <0812>, and brother <0251> of Aner <06063>: and these

<01992>


[were] confederate with Abram <087>.




 14  And when <03588> Abram <087> heard <08085> that his brother


<0251> was taken captive <07617>, he armed <07324> his trained


<02593> [servants], born <03211> in his own <0249> house <01004>,


three <07969> hundred <03967> and eighteen, and pursued <07291>


[them] unto Dan <01835>.




 15  And he divided <02505> himself against <05921> them, he and

his


servants <05650>, by night <03915>, and smote <05221> them, and


pursued <07291> them unto Hobah <02327>, which <0834> [is] on the


left <08040> hand <08040> of Damascus <01834>.




 16  And he brought <07725> back <07725> all <03605> the goods


<07399>, and also <01571> brought <07725> again <07725> his

brother


<0251> Lot <03876>, and his goods <07399>, and the women <0802>

also


<01571>, and the people <05971>.




 17. And the king <04428> of Sodom <05467> went <03318> out to

meet


<07125> him after <0310> his return <07725> from the slaughter


<05221> of Chedorlaomer <03540>, and of the kings <04428> that


[were] with him, at <0413> the valley <06010> of Shaveh <07740>,


which <01931> [is] the king's <04428> dale <06010>.




 18  And Melchizedek <04442> king <04428> of Salem <08004>

brought


<03318> forth <03318> bread <03899> and wine <03196>: and he

[was]


the priest <03548> of the most <05945> high <05945> God <0410>.




 19  And he blessed <01288> him, and said <0559>, Blessed <01288>


[be] Abram <087> of the most <05945> high <05945> God <0410>,


possessor <07069> of heaven <08064> and earth <0776>:




 20  And blessed <01288> be the most <05945> high <05945> God


<0410>, which <0834> hath delivered <04042> thine enemies <06862>


into thy hand <03027>. And he gave <05414> him tithes <04643> of

all


<03605>.




 21. And the king <04428> of Sodom <05467> said <0559> unto Abram


<087>, Give <05414> me the persons <05315>, and take <03947> the


goods <07399> to thyself.




 22  And Abram <087> said <0559> to the king <04428> of Sodom


<05467>, I have lift <07311> up mine hand <03027> unto the LORD


<03068>, the most <05945> high <05945> God <0410>, the possessor


<07069> of heaven <08064> and earth <0776>,




 23  That I will not [take <03947>] from a thread <02339> even


<05704> to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take <03947> any


<03605> thing that [is] thine, lest <03808> thou shouldest say


<0559>, I have made <06213> Abram <087> rich <06238>:




 24  Save <01107> only that which <0834> the young <05288> men

have


eaten <0398>, and the portion <02506> of the men <0582> which

<0834>


went <01980> with me, Aner <06063>, Eshcol <0812>, and Mamre


<04471>; let them take <03947> their portion <02506>.




Genesis  15




 1. After <0310> these <0428> things <01697> the word <01697> of

the


LORD <03068> came <01961> unto Abram <087> in a vision <04236>,


saying <0559>, Fear <03372> not, Abram <087>: I [am] thy shield


<04043>, [and] thy exceeding <03966> great <07235> reward

<07939>.




 2. And Abram <087> said <0559>, Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, what


<04100> wilt thou give <05414> me, seeing I go <01980> childless


<06185>, and the steward of my house <01004> [is] this <01931>


Eliezer <0461> of Damascus <01834>?




 3  And Abram <087> said <0559>, Behold <02005>, to me thou hast


given <05414> no <03808> seed <02233>: and, lo <02009>, one born


<01121> in my house <01004> is mine heir <03423>.




 4  And, behold <02009>, the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>

[came]


unto him, saying <0559>, This <02088> shall not be thine heir


<03423>; but he that shall come <03318> forth <03318> out of

thine


own <0249> bowels <04578> shall be thine heir <03423>.




 5  And he brought <03318> him forth <03318> abroad <02351>, and


said <0559>, Look <05027> now <04994> toward heaven <08064>, and


tell <05608> the stars <03556>, if <0518> thou be able <03201> to


number <05608> them: and he said <0559> unto him, So <03541>

shall


thy seed <02233> be.




 6  And he believed <0539> in the LORD <03068>; and he counted


<02803> it to him for righteousness <06666>.




 7. And he said <0559> unto him, I [am] the LORD <03068> that


brought <03318> thee out of Ur <0218> of the Chaldees <03778>, to


give <05414> thee this <02063> land <0776> to inherit <03423> it.




 8  And he said <0559>, Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, whereby <04100>


shall I know <03045> that I shall inherit <03423> it?




 9  And he said <0559> unto him, Take <03947> me an heifer

<05697>


of three <08027> years <08027> old <08027>, and a she goat

<05795>


of three <08027> years <08027> old <08027>, and a ram <0352> of


three <08027> years <03027> old <08027>, and a turtledove

<08449>,


and a young <01469> pigeon <01469>.




 10  And he took <03947> unto him all <03605> these <0428>, and


divided <01334> them in the midst <08432>, and laid <05414> each


<0376> piece <01335> one against <07125> another <07453>: but the


birds <06833> divided <01334> he not.




 11  And when the fowls <05861> came <03381> down <03381> upon

the


carcases <06297>, Abram <087> drove <05380> them away.




 12. And when <01961> the sun <08121> was going <0935> down

<0935>,


a deep <08639> sleep <08639> fell <05307> upon Abram <087>; and,

lo


<02009>, an horror <0367> of great <01419> darkness <02825> fell


<05307> upon him.




 13  And he said <0559> unto Abram <087>, Know <03045> of a

surety


<03045> that thy seed <02233> shall be a stranger <01616> in a

land


<0776> [that is] not theirs <01992>, and shall serve <05647>

them;


and they shall afflict <06031> them four <0702> hundred <03967>


years <08141>;




 14  And also <01571> that nation <01471>, whom <0834> they shall


serve <05647>, will I judge <01777>: and afterward shall they

come


<03318> out with great <01419> substance <07399>.




 15  And thou shalt go <0935> to thy fathers <01> in peace

<07965>;


thou shalt be buried <06912> in a good <02896> old <07872> age


<07872>.




 16  But in the fourth <07243> generation <01755> they shall come


<07725> hither <02008> again <07725>: for the iniquity <05771> of


the Amorites <0567> [is] not yet full <08003>.




 17. And it came <01961> to pass, that, when <01961> the sun

<08121>


went <0935> down <0935>, and it was dark <05939>, behold <02009>

a


smoking <06227> furnace <08574>, and a burning <0784> lamp

<03940>


that passed <05674> between <0996> those <0428> pieces <01506>.




 18  In the same <01931> day <03117> the LORD <03068> made

<03772> a


covenant <01285> with Abram <087>, saying <0559>, Unto thy seed


<02233> have I given <05414> this <02063> land <0776>, from the


river <05104> of Egypt <04714> unto the great <01419> river

<05104>,


the river <05104> Euphrates <06578>:




 19  The Kenites <07017>, and the Kenizzites <07074>, and the


Kadmonites <06935>,




 20  And the Hittites <02850>, and the Perizzites <06522>, and

the


Rephaims <07497>,




 21  And the Amorites <0567>, and the Canaanites <03669>, and the


Girgashites <01622>, and the Jebusites <02983>.




Genesis  16




 1. Now Sarai <08297> Abram's <087> wife <0802> bare <03205> him

no


<03808> children: and she had an handmaid <08198>, an Egyptian


<04713>, whose name <08034> [was] Hagar <01904>.




 2  And Sarai <08297> said <0559> unto Abram <087>, Behold

<02009>


now <04994>, the LORD <03068> hath restrained <06113> me from


bearing <03205>: I pray <04994> thee, go <0935> in unto my maid


<08198>; it may <0194> be that I may obtain <01129> children

<01129>


by her. And Abram <087> hearkened <08085> to the voice <06963> of


Sarai <08297>.




 3  And Sarai <08297> Abram's <087> wife <0802> took <03947>

Hagar


<01904> her maid <08198> the Egyptian <04713>, after <07093>

Abram


<087> had dwelt <03427> ten <06235> years <08141> in the land

<0776>


of Canaan <03667>, and gave <05414> her to her husband <0376>

Abram


<087> to be his wife <0802>.




 4. And he went <0935> in unto Hagar <01904>, and she conceived


<02030>: and when she saw <07200> that she had conceived <02030>,


her mistress <01404> was despised <07043> in her eyes <05869>.




 5  And Sarai <08297> said <0559> unto Abram <087>, My wrong

<02555>


[be] upon thee: I have given <05414> my maid <08198> into thy

bosom


<02436>; and when she saw <07200> that she had conceived <02030>,

 I


was despised <07043> in her eyes <05869>: the LORD <03068> judge


<08199> between <0996> me and thee.




 6  But Abram <087> said <0559> unto Sarai <08297>, Behold

<02009>,


thy maid <08198> [is] in thy hand <03027>; do <06213> to her as

it


pleaseth thee. And when Sarai <08297> dealt hardly <06031> with

her,


she fled <01272> from her face <06440>.




 7. And the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> found <04672> her

by a


fountain <05869> of water <04325> in the wilderness <04057>, by

the


fountain <05869> in the way <01870> to Shur <07793>.




 8  And he said <0559>, Hagar <01904>, Sarai's <08297> maid

<08198>,


whence <0335> camest <0935> thou? and whither <0575> wilt thou go


<03212>? And she said <0559>, I flee <01272> from the face

<06440>


of my mistress <01404> Sarai <08297>.




 9  And the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto

her,


Return <07725> to thy mistress <01404>, and submit <06031>

thyself


under <08478> her hands <03027>.




 10. And the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto

her,


I will multiply <07235> thy seed <02233> exceedingly <07235>,

that


it shall not be numbered <05608> for multitude <07230>.




 11  And the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto

her,


Behold <02009>, thou [art] with child <02030>, and shalt bear


<03205> a son <01121>, and shalt call <07121> his name <08034>


Ishmael <03458>; because <03588> the LORD <03068> hath heard

<08085>


thy affliction <06040>.




 12  And he will be a wild <06501> man <0120>; his hand <03027>


[will be] against every <03605> man, and every <03605> man's

<0376>


hand <03027> against him; and he shall dwell <07931> in the

presence


<06440> of all <03605> his brethren <0251>.




 13  And she called <07121> the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>


that spake <01696> unto her, Thou God <0410> seest <07210> me:

for


she said <0559>, Have I also <01571> here <01988> looked <07200>


after <0310> him that seeth <07210> me?




 14  Wherefore the well <0875> was called <07121> Beerlahairoi


<0883>; behold <02009>, [it is] between <0996> Kadesh <06946> and


Bered <01260>.




 15. And Hagar <01904> bare <03205> Abram <087> a son <01121>:

and


Abram <087> called <07121> his son's <01121> name <08034>, which


<0834> Hagar <01904> bare <03205>, Ishmael <03458>.




 16  And Abram <087> [was] fourscore <08084> and six <08337>

years


<08141> old <01121>, when Hagar <01904> bare <03205> Ishmael

<03458>


to Abram <087>.




Genesis  17




 1. And when <01961> Abram <087> was ninety <08673> years <08141>


old <01121> and nine <08672>, the LORD <03068> appeared <07200>

to


Abram <087>, and said <0559> unto him, I [am] the Almighty

<07706>


God <0410>; walk <01980> before <06440> me, and be thou perfect


<08549>.




 2  And I will make <05414> my covenant <01285> between <0996> me


and thee, and will multiply <07235> thee exceedingly <03966>.




 3  And Abram <087> fell <05307> on <05921> his face <06440>: and


God <0430> talked <01696> with him, saying <0559>,




 4. As for me, behold <02009>, my covenant <01285> [is] with

thee,


and thou shalt be a father <01> of many <01995> nations <01471>.




 5  Neither <03808> shall thy name <08034> any <05750> more

<05750>


be called <07121> Abram <087>, but thy name <08034> shall be

Abraham


<085>; for a father <01> of many <01995> nations <01471> have I

made


<05414> thee.




 6  And I will make thee exceeding <03966> fruitful <06509>, and

I


will make <05414> nations <01471> of thee, and kings <04428>

shall


come <03318> out of thee.




 7. And I will establish <06965> my covenant <01285> between

<0996>


me and thee and thy seed <02233> after <0310> thee in their


generations <01755> for an everlasting <05769> covenant <01285>,

to


be a God <0430> unto thee, and to thy seed <02233> after <0310>


thee.




 8  And I will give <05414> unto thee, and to thy seed <02233>

after


<0310> thee, the land <0776> wherein thou art a stranger <04033>,


all <03605> the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, for an everlasting


<05769> possession <0272>; and I will be their God <0430>.




 9  And God <0430> said <0559> unto Abraham <085>, Thou shalt

keep


<08104> my covenant <01285> therefore, thou, and thy seed <02233>


after <0310> thee in their generations <01755>.




 10  This <02063> [is] my covenant <01285>, which <0834> ye shall


keep <08104>, between <0996> me and you and thy seed <02233>

after


<0310> thee; Every <03605> man <02145> child among you shall be


circumcised <04135>.




 11  And ye shall circumcise <05243> the flesh <01320> of your


foreskin <06190>; and it shall be a token <0226> of the covenant


<01285> betwixt <0996> me and you.




 12  And he that is eight <08083> days <03117> old <01121> shall

be


circumcised <04135> among you, every <03605> man <02145> child in


your generations <01755>, he that is born <03211> in the house


<01004>, or bought <04736> with money <03701> of any <03605>


stranger, which <0834> [is] not of thy seed <02233>.




 13  He that is born <03211> in thy house <01004>, and he that is


bought <04736> with thy money <03701>, must needs be circumcised


<04135>: and my covenant <01285> shall be in your flesh <01320>

for


an everlasting <05769> covenant <01285>.




 14  And the uncircumcised <06189> man <02145> child whose <0834>


flesh <01320> of his foreskin <06190> is not circumcised <04135>,


that soul <05315> shall be cut <03772> off from his people

<05971>;


he hath broken <06565> my covenant <01285>.




 15. And God <0430> said <0559> unto Abraham <085>, As for Sarai


<08297> thy wife <0802>, thou shalt not call <07121> her name


<08034> Sarai <08297>, but Sarah <08283> [shall] her name <08034>


[be].




 16  And I will bless <01288> her, and give <05414> thee a son


<01121> also <01571> of her: yea, I will bless <01288> her, and

she


shall be [a mother] of nations <01471>; kings <04428> of people


<05971> shall be of her.




 17  Then Abraham <085> fell <05307> upon his face <06440>, and


laughed <06711>, and said <0559> in his heart <03820>, Shall [a


child] be born <03205> unto him that is an hundred <03967> years


<08141> old <01121>? and shall Sarah <08283>, that is ninety

<08673>


years <08141> old <01323>, bear <03205>?




 18  And Abraham <085> said <0559> unto God <0430>, O that

Ishmael


<03458> might live <02421> before <06440> thee!




 19  And God <0430> said <0559>, Sarah <08283> thy wife <0802>

shall


bear <03205> thee a son <01121> indeed <061>; and thou shalt call


<07121> his name <08034> Isaac <03327>: and I will establish

<06965>


my covenant <01285> with him for an everlasting <05769> covenant


<01285>, [and] with his seed <02233> after <0310> him.




 20  And as for Ishmael <03458>, I have heard <08085> thee:

Behold


<02009>, I have blessed <01288> him, and will make him fruitful


<06509>, and will multiply <07235> him exceedingly <03966>;

twelve


princes <05387> shall he beget <03205>, and I will make <05414>

him


a great <01419> nation <01471>.




 21  But my covenant <01285> will I establish <06965> with Isaac


<03327>, which <0834> Sarah <08283> shall bear <03205> unto thee

at


this <02088> set <04150> time in the next <0312> year <08141>.




 22  And he left <03615> off talking <01696> with him, and God


<0430> went <05927> up from Abraham <085>.




 23. And Abraham <085> took <03947> Ishmael <03458> his son

<01121>,


and all <03605> that were born <03211> in his house <01004>, and

all


<03605> that were bought <04736> with his money <03701>, every


<03605> male <02145> among the men <0582> of Abraham's <085>

house


<01004>; and circumcised <04135> the flesh <01320> of their

foreskin


<06190> in the selfsame day <03117>, as God <0430> had said

<01696>


unto him.




 24  And Abraham <085> [was] ninety <08673> years <08141> old


<01121> and nine <08672>, when he was circumcised <04135> in the


flesh <01320> of his foreskin <06190>.




 25  And Ishmael <03458> his son <01121> [was] thirteen years


<08141> old <01121>, when he was circumcised <04135> in the flesh


<01320> of his foreskin <06190>.




 26  In the selfsame day <03117> was Abraham <085> circumcised


<04135>, and Ishmael <03458> his son <01121>.




 27  And all <03605> the men <0582> of his house <01004>, born


<03211> in the house <01004>, and bought <04736> with money

<03701>


of the stranger, were circumcised <04135> with him.




Genesis  18




 1. And the LORD <03068> appeared <07200> unto him in the plains


<0436> of Mamre <04471>: and he sat <03427> in the tent <0168>

door


<06607> in the heat <02527> of the day <03117>;




 2  And he lift <05375> up his eyes <05869> and looked <07200>,

and,


lo <02009>, three <07969> men <0582> stood <05324> by him: and

when


he saw <07200> [them], he ran <07323> to meet <07125> them from

the


tent <0168> door <06607>, and bowed <07812> himself toward the


ground <0776>,




 3  And said <0559>, My Lord <0136>, if <0518> now <04994> I have


found <04672> favour <02580> in thy sight <05869>, pass <05674>

not


away, I pray <04994> thee, from thy servant <05650>:




 4  Let a little <04592> water <04325>, I pray <04994> you, be


fetched <03947>, and wash <07364> your feet <07272>, and rest


<08172> yourselves under <08478> the tree <06086>:




 5  And I will fetch <03947> a morsel <06595> of bread <03899>,

and


comfort <05582> ye your hearts <03820>; after <0310> that ye

shall


pass <05674> on: for therefore are ye come <05674> to your

servant


<05650>. And they said <01696>, So <03651> do <06213>, as thou

hast


said <0559>.




 6  And Abraham <085> hastened <04116> into the tent <0168> unto


Sarah <08283>, and said <0559>, Make ready <04116> quickly

<04116>


three <07969> measures <05429> of fine meal, knead <03888> [it],

and


make <06213> cakes <05692> upon the hearth.




 7  And Abraham <085> ran <07323> unto the herd <01241>, and

fetcht


<03947> a calf tender <07390> and good <02896>, and gave <05414>


[it] unto a young <05288> man; and he hasted <04116> to dress


<06213> it.




 8  And he took <03947> butter <02529>, and milk <02461>, and the


calf which <0834> he had dressed <06213>, and set <05414> [it]


before <06440> them; and he stood <05975> by them under <08478>

the


tree <06086>, and they did eat <0398>.




 9. And they said <0559> unto him, Where <0346> [is] Sarah

<08283>


thy wife <0802>? And he said <0559>, Behold <02009>, in the tent


<0168>.




 10  And he said <0559>, I will certainly return <07725> unto

thee


according to the time <06256> of life <02416>; and, lo <02009>,


Sarah <08283> thy wife <0802> shall have a son <01121>. And Sarah


<08283> heard <08085> [it] in the tent <0168> door <06607>, which


<01931> [was] behind <0310> him.




 11  Now Abraham <085> and Sarah <08283> [were] old <02205> [and]


well stricken <0935> in age <03117>; [and] it ceased <02308> to

be


with Sarah <08283> after the manner <0734> of women <0802>.




 12  Therefore Sarah <08283> laughed <06711> within <07130>

herself,


saying <0559>, After <0310> I am waxed old <04086> shall I have


pleasure <05730>, my lord <0113> being old <02204> also?




 13  And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Abraham <085>,

Wherefore


<04100> did Sarah <08283> laugh <06711>, saying <0559>, Shall I

of a


surety <0552> bear <03205> a child, which <0589> am old <02204>?




 14  Is any thing <01697> too hard <06381> for the LORD <03068>?

At


the time appointed <04150> I will return <07725> unto thee,


according to the time <06256> of life <02416>, and Sarah <08283>


shall have a son <01121>.




 15  Then Sarah <08283> denied <03584>, saying <0559>, I laughed


<06711> not; for she was afraid <03372>. And he said <0559>, Nay


<03808>; but thou didst laugh <06711>.




 16. And the men <0582> rose <06965> up from thence <08033>, and


looked <08259> toward Sodom <05467>: and Abraham <085> went

<01980>


with them to bring <07971> them on the way <07971>.




 17  And the LORD <03068> said <0559>, Shall I hide <03680> from


Abraham <085> that thing which <0834> I do <06213>;




 18  Seeing that Abraham <085> shall surely become <01961> a

great


<01419> and mighty <06099> nation <01471>, and all <03605> the


nations <01471> of the earth <0776> shall be blessed <01288> in

him?




 19  For I know <03045> him, that he will command <06680> his


children <01121> and his household <01004> after <0310> him, and


they shall keep <08104> the way <01870> of the LORD <03068>, to

do


<06213> justice <06666> and judgment <04941>; that the LORD

<03068>


may bring <0935> upon Abraham <085> that which <0834> he hath

spoken


<01696> of him.




 20  And the LORD <03068> said <0559>, Because <03588> the cry


<02201> of Sodom <05467> and Gomorrah <06017> is great <07227>,

and


because <03588> their sin <02403> is very <03966> grievous

<03515>;




 21  I will go <03381> down <03381> now <04994>, and see <07200>


whether they have done <06213> altogether <03617> according to

the


cry <06818> of it, which is come <0935> unto me; and if <0518>

not,


I will know <03045>.




 22  And the men <0582> turned <06437> their faces from thence


<08033>, and went <03212> toward Sodom <05467>: but Abraham <085>


stood <05975> yet <05750> before <06440> the LORD <03068>.




 23. And Abraham <085> drew near <05066>, and said <0559>, Wilt

thou


also <0637> destroy <05595> the righteous <06662> with the wicked


<07563>?




 24  Peradventure <0194> there be fifty <02572> righteous <06662>


within <08432> the city <05892>: wilt thou also <0637> destroy


<05595> and not spare <05375> the place <04725> for the fifty


<02572> righteous <06662> that [are] therein <07130>?




 25  That be far <02486> from thee to do <06213> after this

<02088>


manner <01697>, to slay <04191> the righteous <06662> with the


wicked <07563>: and that the righteous <06662> should be as the


wicked <07563>, that be far <02486> from thee: Shall not the

Judge


<08199> of all <03605> the earth <0776> do <06213> right <04941>?




 26  And the LORD <03068> said <0559>, If <0518> I find <04672>

in


Sodom <05467> fifty <02572> righteous <06662> within <08432> the


city <05892>, then I will spare <05375> all <03605> the place


<04725> for their sakes <05668>.




 27  And Abraham <085> answered <06030> and said <0559>, Behold


<02009> now <04994>, I have taken <02974> upon me to speak

<01696>


unto the Lord <0136>, which <0595> [am but] dust <06083> and

ashes


<0665>:




 28  Peradventure <0194> there shall lack <02637> five <02568> of


the fifty <02572> righteous <06662>: wilt thou destroy <07843>

all


<03605> the city <05892> for [lack of] five <02568>? And he said


<0559>, If <0518> I find <04672> there <08033> forty <0705> and

five


<02568>, I will not destroy <07843> [it].




 29  And he spake <01696> unto him yet <05750> again <03254>, and


said <0559>, Peradventure <0194> there shall be forty <0705>

found


<04672> there. And he said <0559>, I will not do <06213> [it] for


forty's <0705> sake <05668>.




 30  And he said <0559> [unto him], Oh <04994> let not the Lord


<0136> be angry <02734>, and I will speak <01696>: Peradventure


<0194> there <08033> shall thirty <07970> be found <04672> there


<08033>. And he said <0559>, I will not do <06213> [it], if

<0518> I


find <04672> thirty <07970> there <08033>.




 31  And he said <0559>, Behold <02009> now <04994>, I have taken


<02974> upon me to speak <01696> unto the Lord <0136>:

Peradventure


<0194> there <08033> shall be twenty <06242> found <04672> there


<08033>. And he said <0559>, I will not destroy <07843> [it] for


twenty's <06242> sake <05668>.




 32  And he said <0559>, Oh <04994> let not the Lord <0136> be

angry


<02734>, and I will speak <01696> yet <0389> but this <06471>

once


<06471>: Peradventure <0194> ten <06235> shall be found <04672>


there <08033>. And he said <0559>, I will not destroy <07843>

[it]


for ten's <06235> sake <05668>.




 33  And the LORD <03068> went <03212> his way <03212>, as soon


<0834> as he had left <03615> communing <01696> with Abraham

<085>:


and Abraham <085> returned <07725> unto his place <04725>.




Genesis  19




 1. And there came <0935> two <08147> angels <04397> to Sodom


<05467> at even <06153>; and Lot <03876> sat <03427> in the gate


<08179> of Sodom <05467>: and Lot <03876> seeing <07200> [them]

rose


<06965> up to meet <07125> them; and he bowed <07812> himself

with


his face <0639> toward the ground <0776>;




 2  And he said <0559>, Behold <02009> now <04994>, my lords

<0113>,


turn <05493> in, I pray <04994> you, into <0413> your servant's


<05650> house <01004>, and tarry <03885> all <03885> night, and

wash


<07364> your feet <07272>, and ye shall rise <07925> up early


<07925>, and go <01980> on your ways <01870>. And they said

<0559>,


Nay; but we will abide <03885> in the street <07339> all <03885>


night.




 3  And he pressed <06484> upon them greatly <03966>; and they


turned <05493> in unto him, and entered <0935> into <0413> his

house


<01004>; and he made <06213> them a feast <04960>, and did bake


<0644> unleavened <04682> bread, and they did eat <0398>.




 4. But before <02962> they lay <07901> down, the men <0582> of

the


city <05892>, [even] the men <0582> of Sodom <05467>, compassed


<05437> the house <01004> round <05921>, both old <02205> and

young


<05288>, all <03605> the people <05971> from every quarter

<07098>:




 5  And they called <07121> unto Lot <03876>, and said <0559>

unto


him, Where <0346> [are] the men <0582> which <0834> came <0935>

in


to thee this night <03915>? bring <03318> them out unto us, that

we


may know <03045> them.




 6  And Lot <03876> went <03318> out at the door <06607> unto

them,


and shut <05462> the door <01817> after <0310> him,




 7  And said <0559>, I pray <04994> you, brethren <0251>, do not

so


wickedly <07489>.




 8  Behold <02009> now <04994>, I have two <08147> daughters

<01363>


which <0834> have not known <03045> man <0376>; let me, I pray


<04994> you, bring <03318> them out unto you, and do <06213> ye

to


them as [is] good <02896> in your eyes <05869>: only unto these


<0428> men <0582> do <06213> nothing; for therefore came <0935>

they


under the shadow <06738> of my roof <06982>.




 9  And they said <0559>, Stand <05066> back <01973>. And they

said


<0559> [again], This one <0259> [fellow <07453>] came <0935> in

to


sojourn <01481>, and he will needs be a judge <08199>: now

<06288>


will we deal worse <07489> with thee, than with them. And they


pressed <06484> sore <03966> upon the man <0376>, [even] Lot


<03876>, and came <05066> near <05066> to break <07665> the door


<01817>.




 10  But the men <0582> put <07971> forth <07971> their hand


<03027>, and pulled <0935> Lot <03876> into the house <01004> to


them, and shut <05462> to the door <01817>.




 11  And they smote <05221> the men <0582> that [were] at the

door


<06607> of the house <01004> with blindness <05575>, both small


<06996> and great <01419>: so that they wearied <03811>

themselves


to find <04672> the door <06607>.




 12. And the men <0582> said <0559> unto Lot <03876>, Hast thou

here


<06311> any <04310> besides <05750>? son <01121> in law <02859>,

and


thy sons <01121>, and thy daughters <01363>, and whatsoever thou


hast in the city <05892>, bring <03318> [them] out of this place


<04725>:




 13  For we will destroy <07843> this <02088> place <04725>,

because


<03588> the cry <06818> of them is waxen great <01431> before

<0854>


the face <06440> of the LORD <03068>; and the LORD <03068> hath

sent


<07971> us to destroy <07843> it.




 14  And Lot <03876> went <03318> out, and spake <01696> unto his


sons <02860> in law <02859>, which married <03947> his daughters


<01363>, and said <0559>, Up, get <03318> you out of this <02088>


place <04725>; for the LORD <03068> will destroy <07843> this

city


<05892>. But he seemed as one that mocked <06711> unto his sons


<02860> in law <02859>.




 15. And when <03644> the morning <07837> arose <05927>, then the


angels <04397> hastened <0213> Lot <03876>, saying <0559>, Arise


<06965>, take <03947> thy wife <0802>, and thy two <08147>

daughters


<01363>, which are here <04672>; lest <06435> thou be consumed


<05595> in the iniquity <05771> of the city <05892>.




 16  And while he lingered <04102>, the men <0582> laid hold

<02388>


upon his hand <03027>, and upon the hand <03027> of his wife

<0802>,


and upon the hand <03027> of his two <08147> daughters <01363>;

the


LORD <03068> being merciful <02551> unto him: and they brought


<03318> him forth <03318>, and set <03240> him without <02351>

the


city <05892>.




 17  And it came <01961> to pass, when they had brought <03318>

them


forth <03318> abroad <02351>, that he said <0559>, Escape <04422>


for thy life <05315>; look <05027> not behind <0310> thee,

neither


<0408> stay <05975> thou in all <03605> the plain <03603>; escape


<04422> to the mountain <02022>, lest <06435> thou be consumed


<05595>.




 18  And Lot <03876> said <0559> unto them, Oh <04994>, not so,

my


Lord <0113>:




 19  Behold <02009> now <04994>, thy servant <05650> hath found


<04672> grace <02580> in thy sight <05869>, and thou hast

magnified


<01431> thy mercy <02617>, which <0834> thou hast shewed <06213>


unto me in saving <02421> my life <05315>; and I cannot escape


<04422> to the mountain <02022>, lest <06435> some evil <07451>

take


<01692> me, and I die <04191>:




 20  Behold <02009> now <04994>, this <02063> city <05892> [is]

near


<07138> to flee <05127> unto, and it [is] a little <04705> one:

Oh


<04994>, let me escape <04422> thither, ([is] it not a little


<04705> one?) and my soul <05315> shall live <02421>.




 21  And he said <0559> unto him, See <02009>, I have accepted


<05375> thee concerning this <02088> thing <01697> also <01571>,


that I will not overthrow <02015> this city <05892>, for the

which


<0834> thou hast spoken <01696>.




 22  Haste <04116> thee, escape <04422> thither; for I cannot do


<06213> any thing till <05704> thou be come <0935> thither.


Therefore the name <08034> of the city <05892> was called <07121>


Zoar <06820>.




 23  The sun <08121> was risen <03318> upon the earth <0776> when


Lot <03876> entered <0935> into Zoar <06820>.




 24. Then the LORD <03068> rained <04305> upon Sodom <05467> and


upon Gomorrah <06017> brimstone <01614> and fire <0784> from the


LORD <03068> out of heaven <08064>;




 25  And he overthrew <02015> those <0411> cities <05892>, and

all


<03605> the plain <03603>, and all <03605> the inhabitants

<03427>


of the cities <05892>, and that which grew <06780> upon the

ground


<0127>.




 26. But his wife <0802> looked <05027> back from behind <0310>

him,


and she became <01961> a pillar <05333> of salt <04417>.




 27. And Abraham <085> gat up early <07925> in the morning

<01242>


to the place <04725> where <0834> he stood <05975> before the

LORD


<03068>:




 28  And he looked <08259> toward Sodom <05467> and Gomorrah


<06017>, and toward all <03605> the land <0776> of the plain


<03603>, and beheld <07200>, and, lo <02009>, the smoke <07008>

of


the country <0776> went <05927> up as the smoke <07008> of a

furnace


<03536>.




 29  And it came <01961> to pass, when God <0430> destroyed

<07843>


the cities <05892> of the plain <03603>, that God <0430>

remembered


<02142> Abraham <085>, and sent <07971> Lot <03876> out of the

midst


<08432> of the overthrow <02018>, when he overthrew <02015> the


cities <05892> in the which <0834> Lot <03876> dwelt <03427>.




 30. And Lot <03876> went <05927> up out of Zoar <06820>, and

dwelt


<03427> in the mountain <02022>, and his two <08147> daughters


<01363> with him; for he feared <03372> to dwell <03418> in Zoar


<06820>: and he dwelt <03427> in a cave <04631>, he and his two


<08147> daughters <01363>.




 31  And the firstborn <01067> said <0559> unto the younger

<06810>,


Our father <01> [is] old <02204>, and [there is] not a man

<0376> in


the earth <0776> to come <0935> in unto us after the manner

<01870>


of all <03605> the earth <0776>:




 32  Come <03212>, let us make our father <01> drink <08248> wine


<03196>, and we will lie <07901> with him, that we may preserve


<02421> seed <02233> of our father <01>.




 33  And they made their father <01> drink <08248> wine <03196>

that


night <03915>: and the firstborn <01067> went <0935> in, and lay


<07901> with her father <01>; and he perceived <03045> not when

she


lay <07901> down, nor when she arose <06965>.




 34  And it came <01961> to pass on the morrow <04283>, that the


firstborn <01067> said <0559> unto the younger <06810>, Behold


<02005>, I lay <07901> yesternight <0570> with my father <01>:

let


us make him drink <08248> wine <03196> this night <03915> also


<01571>; and go <0935> thou in, [and] lie <07901> with him, that

we


may preserve <02421> seed <02233> of our father <01>.




 35  And they made their father <01> drink <08248> wine <03196>

that


night <03915> also <01571>: and the younger <06810> arose

<06965>,


and lay <07901> with him; and he perceived <03045> not when she

lay


<07901> down, nor when she arose <06965>.




 36  Thus were both <08147> the daughters <01363> of Lot <03876>


with child <02029> by their father <01>.




 37  And the firstborn <01067> bare <03205> a son <01121>, and


called <07121> his name <08034> Moab <04124>: the same <01931>

[is]


the father <01> of the Moabites <04124> unto this day <03117>.




 38  And the younger <06810>, she also <01571> bare <03205> a son


<01121>, and called <07121> his name <08034> Benammi <01151>: the


same <01931> [is] the father <01> of the children <01121> of

Ammon


<05983> unto this day <03117>.




Genesis  20




 1. And Abraham <085> journeyed <05265> from thence <08033>

toward


the south <05045> country <0776>, and dwelled <03427> between

<0996>


Kadesh <06946> and Shur <07793>, and sojourned <01481> in Gerar


<01642>.




 2  And Abraham <085> said <0559> of Sarah <08283> his wife

<0802>,


She [is] my sister <0269>: and Abimelech <040> king <04428> of

Gerar


<01642> sent <07971>, and took <03947> Sarah <08283>.




 3. But God <0430> came <0935> to Abimelech <040> in a dream

<02472>


by night <03915>, and said <0559> to him, Behold <02009>, thou

[art


but] a dead <04191> man <0376>, for the woman <0802> which <0834>


thou hast taken <03947>; for she [is] a man's <01167> wife

<01166>.




 4  But Abimelech <040> had not come <07126> near <07126> her:

and


he said <0559>, Lord <0136>, wilt thou slay <02026> also <01571>

a


righteous <06662> nation <01471>?




 5  Said <0559> he not unto me, She [is] my sister <0269>? and

she,


even <01571> she herself said <0559>, He [is] my brother <0251>:

in


the integrity <08537> of my heart <03824> and innocency <05356>

of


my hands <03709> have I done <06213> this <02063>.




 6  And God <0430> said <0559> unto him in a dream <02472>, Yea


<01571>, I know <03045> that thou didst <06213> this <02063> in

the


integrity <08537> of thy heart <03824>; for I also withheld

<02820>


thee from sinning <02398> against me: therefore suffered <05414>

I


thee not to touch <05060> her.




 7  Now <06258> therefore restore <07725> the man <0376> [his]

wife


<0802>; for he [is] a prophet <05030>, and he shall pray <06419>

for


thee, and thou shalt live <02421>: and if <0518> thou restore


<07725> [her] not, know <03045> thou that thou shalt surely

<03588>


die <04191>, thou, and all <03605> that [are] thine.




 8. Therefore Abimelech <040> rose <07925> early <07925> in the


morning <01242>, and called <07121> all <03605> his servants


<05650>, and told <01696> all <03605> these <0428> things

<01697> in


their ears <0241>: and the men <0582> were sore <03966> afraid


<03372>.




 9  Then Abimelech <040> called <07121> Abraham <085>, and said


<0559> unto him, What <04100> hast thou done <06213> unto us? and


what <04100> have I offended <02398> thee, that thou hast brought


<0935> on <05921> me and on <05921> my kingdom <04467> a great


<01419> sin <02401>? thou hast done <06213> deeds <04639> unto me


that ought <03972> not to be done <06213>.




 10  And Abimelech <040> said <0559> unto Abraham <085>, What


<04100> sawest <07200> thou, that thou hast done <06213> this


<02088> thing <01697>?




 11  And Abraham <085> said <0559>, Because <03588> I thought


<0559>, Surely <07535> the fear <03374> of God <0430> [is] not in


this <02088> place <04725>; and they will slay <02026> me for my


wife's <0802> sake <01697>.




 12  And yet <01571> indeed <0546> [she is] my sister <0269>; she


[is] the daughter <01323> of my father <01>, but not the daughter


<01323> of my mother <0517>; and she became <01961> my wife

<0802>.




 13  And it came <01961> to pass, when <0834> God <0430> caused

me


to wander <08582> from my father's <01> house <01004>, that I

said


<0559> unto her, This <02088> [is] thy kindness <02617> which

<0834>


thou shalt shew <06213> unto me; at <0413> every <03605> place


<04725> whither we shall come <0935>, say <0559> of me, He [is]

my


brother <0251>.




 14. And Abimelech <040> took <03947> sheep <06629>, and oxen


<01241>, and menservants <05650>, and womenservants <08198>, and


gave <05414> [them] unto Abraham <085>, and restored <07725> him


Sarah <08283> his wife <0802>.




 15  And Abimelech <040> said <0559>, Behold <02009>, my land

<0776>


[is] before <06440> thee: dwell <03418> where it pleaseth thee.




 16  And unto Sarah <08283> he said <0559>, Behold <02009>, I

have


given <05414> thy brother <0251> a thousand <0505> [pieces] of


silver <03701>: behold <02009>, he [is] to thee a covering

<03682>


of the eyes <05869>, unto all <03605> that [are] with thee, and

with


all <03605> [other]: thus she was reproved <03198>.




 17  So Abraham <085> prayed <06419> unto God <0430>: and God

<0430>


healed <07495> Abimelech <040>, and his wife <0802>, and his


maidservants <0519>; and they bare <03205> [children].




 18  For the LORD <03068> had fast closed <06113> up all <03605>

the


wombs <07358> of the house <01004> of Abimelech <040>, because of


Sarah <08283> Abraham's <085> wife <0802>.




Genesis  21




 1. And the LORD <03068> visited <06485> Sarah <08283> as he had


said <0559>, and the LORD <03068> did <06213> unto Sarah <08283>

as


he had spoken <01696>.




 2  For Sarah <08283> conceived <02030>, and bare <03205> Abraham


<085> a son <01121> in his old <02208> age, at the set <04150>

time


of which <0834> God <0430> had spoken <01696> to him.




 3  And Abraham <085> called <07121> the name <08034> of his son


<01121> that was born <03205> unto him, whom <0834> Sarah <08283>


bare <03205> to him, Isaac <03327>.




 4  And Abraham <085> circumcised <04135> his son <01121> Isaac


<03327> being eight <08083> days <03117> old <01121>, as God

<0430>


had commanded <06680> him.




 5  And Abraham <085> was an hundred <03967> years <08141> old


<01121>, when his son <01121> Isaac <03327> was born <03205> unto


him.




 6  And Sarah <08283> said <0559>, God <0430> hath made me to

laugh


<06712>, [so that] all <03605> that hear <08085> will laugh

<06711>


with me.




 7  And she said <0559>, Who <04310> would have said <04448> unto


Abraham <085>, that Sarah <08283> should have given children

<01121>


suck <03243>? for I have born <03205> [him] a son <01121> in his

old


<02208> age.




 8  And the child <03206> grew <01431>, and was weaned <01580>:

and


Abraham <085> made <06213> a great <01419> feast <04960> the

[same]


day <03117> that Isaac <03327> was weaned <01580>.




 9. And Sarah <08283> saw <07200> the son <01121> of Hagar

<01904>


the Egyptian <04713>, which <0834> she had born <03205> unto

Abraham


<085>, mocking <06711>.




 10  Wherefore she said <0559> unto Abraham <085>, Cast <01644>

out


this <02063> bondwoman <0519> and her son <01121>: for the son


<01121> of this <02063> bondwoman <0519> shall not be heir

<03423>


with my son, [even] with Isaac <03327>.




 11  And the thing <01697> was very <03966> grievous <07489> in


Abraham's <085> sight <05869> because of his son <01121>.




 12  And God <0430> said <0559> unto Abraham <085>, Let it not be


grievous <07489> in thy sight <05869> because <05921> of the lad


<05288>, and because <05921> of thy bondwoman <0519>; in all

<03605>


that Sarah <08283> hath said <0559> unto thee, hearken <08085>

unto


her voice <06963>; for in Isaac <03327> shall thy seed <02233> be


called <07121>.




 13  And also of the son <01121> of the bondwoman <0519> will I

make


<07760> a nation <01471>, because <03588> he [is] thy seed

<02233>.




 14. And Abraham <085> rose <07925> up early <07925> in the

morning


<01242>, and took <03947> bread <03899>, and a bottle <02573> of


water <04325>, and gave <05414> [it] unto Hagar <01904>, putting


<07760> [it] on <05921> her shoulder <07926>, and the child

<03206>,


and sent <07971> her away: and she departed <03212>, and wandered


<08582> in the wilderness <04057> of Beersheba <0884>.




 15  And the water <04325> was spent <03615> in the bottle

<02573>,


and she cast <07993> the child <03206> under <08478> one <0259>

of


the shrubs <07880>.




 16  And she went <03212>, and sat <03427> her down over <05048>


against <05048> [him] a good <07368> way off, as it were a

bowshot:


for <07198> she said <0559>, Let me not see <07200> the death


<04194> of the child <03206>. And she sat <03427> over <05048>


against <05048> [him], and lift <05375> up her voice <06963>, and


wept <01058>.




 17  And God <0430> heard <08085> the voice <06963> of the lad


<05288>; and the angel <04397> of God <0430> called <07121> to

Hagar


<01904> out of heaven <08064>, and said <0559> unto her, What


<04100> aileth thee, Hagar <01904>? fear <03372> not; for God

<0430>


hath heard <08085> the voice <06963> of the lad <05288> where

<0834>


he [is].




 18  Arise <06965>, lift <05375> up the lad <05288>, and hold


<02388> him in thine hand <03027>; for I will make <07760> him a


great <01419> nation <01471>.




 19  And God <0430> opened <06491> her eyes <05869>, and she saw


<07200> a well <0875> of water <04325>; and she went <03212>, and


filled <04390> the bottle <02573> with water <04325>, and gave

the


lad <05288> drink <08248>.




 20  And God <0430> was with the lad <05288>; and he grew

<01431>,


and dwelt <03427> in the wilderness <04057>, and became <01961>

an


archer <07198>.




 21  And he dwelt <03427> in the wilderness <04057> of Paran


<06290>: and his mother <0517> took <03947> him a wife <0802>

out of


the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.




 22. And it came <01961> to pass at that time <06256>, that


Abimelech <040> and Phichol <06369> the chief captain <08269> of

his


host <06635> spake <0559> unto Abraham <085>, saying <0559>, God


<0430> [is] with thee in all <03605> that thou doest <06213>:




 23  Now <06258> therefore swear <07650> unto me here <02008> by

God


<0430> that thou wilt not deal falsely <08266> with me, nor with

my


son <05220>, nor with my son's <05220> son <05220>: [but]

according


to the kindness <02617> that I have done <06213> unto thee, thou


shalt do <06213> unto me, and to the land <0776> wherein <0834>

thou


hast sojourned <01481>.




 24  And Abraham <085> said <0559>, I will swear <07650>.




 25  And Abraham <085> reproved <03198> Abimelech <040> because

of a


well <0875> of water <04325>, which <0834> Abimelech's <040>


servants <05650> had violently <01497> taken <01497> away.




 26  And Abimelech <040> said <0559>, I wot <03045> not who

<04310>


hath done <06213> this <02088> thing <01697>: neither <03808>

didst


thou tell <05046> me, neither <03808> yet <01571> heard <08085> I


[of it], but to day <03117>.




 27  And Abraham <085> took <03947> sheep <06629> and oxen

<01241>,


and gave <05414> them unto Abimelech <040>; and both <08147> of

them


made <03772> a covenant <01285>.




 28  And Abraham <085> set <05324> seven <07651> ewe <03535>

lambs


<03535> of the flock <06629> by themselves.




 29  And Abimelech <040> said <0559> unto Abraham <085>, What


<04100> [mean] these seven <07651> ewe <03535> lambs <03535>

which


<0834> thou hast set <05324> by themselves?




 30  And he said <0559>, For [these] seven <07651> ewe <03535>

lambs


<03535> shalt thou take <03947> of my hand <03027>, that they

may be


a witness <05713> unto me, that I have digged <02658> this well


<0875>.




 31  Wherefore <04100> he called <07121> that place <04725>


Beersheba <0884>; because <03588> there <08033> they sware

<07650>


both <08147> of them.




 32  Thus <03541> they made <03772> a covenant <01285> at

Beersheba


<0884>: then Abimelech <040> rose <06965> up, and Phichol <06369>


the chief captain <08269> of his host <06635>, and they returned


<07725> into <0413> the land <0776> of the Philistines <06430>.




 33. And [Abraham] planted <05193> a grove <0815> in Beersheba


<0884>, and called <07121> there <08033> on the name <08034> of

the


LORD <03068>, the everlasting <05769> God <0410>.




 34  And Abraham <085> sojourned <01481> in the Philistines

<06430>'


land <0776> many <07227> days <03117>.




Genesis  22




 1. And it came <01961> to pass after <0310> these things

<01697>,


that God <0430> did tempt <05254> Abraham <085>, and said <0559>


unto him, Abraham <085>: and he said <0559>, Behold <02009>,

[here]


I [am].




 2  And he said <0559>, Take <03947> now <04994> thy son <01121>,


thine only <03173> [son] Isaac <03327>, whom <0834> thou lovest


<0157>, and get <03212> thee into <0413> the land <0776> of

Moriah


<04179>; and offer <05927> him there <08033> for a burnt <05930>


offering upon one <0259> of the mountains <02022> which <0834> I


will tell <0559> thee of.




 3. And Abraham <085> rose <07925> up early <07925> in the

morning


<01242>, and saddled <02280> his ass <02543>, and took <03947>

two


<08147> of his young <05288> men with him, and Isaac <03327> his

son


<01121>, and clave <01234> the wood <06086> for the burnt <05930>


offering, and rose <06965> up, and went <03212> unto the place


<04725> of which <0834> God <0430> had told <0559> him.




 4  Then on the third <07992> day <03117> Abraham <085> lifted


<05375> up his eyes <05869>, and saw <07200> the place <04725>

afar


<07350> off.




 5  And Abraham <085> said <0559> unto his young <05288> men,

Abide


<03427> ye here <06311> with the ass <02543>; and I and the lad


<05288> will go <03212> yonder <03541> and worship <07812>, and

come


<07725> again <07725> to you.




 6  And Abraham <085> took <03947> the wood <06086> of the burnt


<05930> offering, and laid <07760> [it] upon Isaac <03327> his

son


<01121>; and he took <03947> the fire <0784> in his hand <03027>,


and a knife <03979>; and they went <03212> both <08147> of them


together <03162>.




 7  And Isaac <03327> spake <0559> unto Abraham <085> his father


<01>, and said <0559>, My father <01>: and he said <0559>, Here


<02009> [am] I, my son <01121>. And he said <0559>, Behold

<02009>


the fire <0784> and the wood <06086>: but where <0834> [is] the

lamb


<07716> for a burnt <05930> offering?




 8  And Abraham <085> said <0559>, My son <01121>, God <0430>

will


provide <07200> himself a lamb <07716> for a burnt <05930>

offering:


so they went <03212> both <08147> of them together <03162>.




 9  And they came <0935> to the place <04725> which <0834> God


<0430> had told <0559> him of; and Abraham <085> built <01129> an


altar <04196> there <08033>, and laid the wood <06086> in order,

and


bound <06123> Isaac <03327> his son <01121>, and laid <07760>

him on


<05921> the altar <04196> upon the wood <06086>.




 10  And Abraham <085> stretched <07971> forth his hand <03027>,

and


took <03947> the knife <03979> to slay <07819> his son <01121>.




 11. And the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> called <07121>

unto


him out of heaven <08064>, and said <0559>, Abraham <085>,

Abraham


<085>: and he said <0559>, Here <02009> [am] I.




 12  And he said <0559>, Lay <07971> not thine hand <03027> upon

the


lad <05288>, neither <0408> do <06213> thou any <03972> thing

unto


him: for now <06258> I know <03045> that thou fearest <03373> God


<0430>, seeing <07200> thou hast not withheld <02820> thy son


<01121>, thine only <03162> [son] from me.




 13  And Abraham <085> lifted <05375> up his eyes <05869>, and


looked <07200>, and behold <02009> behind <0310> [him] a ram

<0352>


caught <0270> in a thicket <05442> by his horns <07161>: and

Abraham


<085> went <03212> and took <03947> the ram <0352>, and offered


<05927> him up for a burnt <05930> offering in the stead <08478>

of


his son <01121>.




 14  And Abraham <085> called <07121> the name <08034> of that

place


<04725> Jehovahjireh <03070>: as it is said <0559> [to] this day


<03117>, In the mount <02022> of the LORD <03068> it shall be

seen


<07200>.




 15. And the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> called <07121>

unto


Abraham <085> out of heaven <08064> the second <08145> time

<06256>,




 16  And said <0559>, By myself have I sworn <07650>, saith

<05002>


the LORD <03068>, for because thou hast done <06213> this thing


<01697>, and hast not withheld <02820> thy son <01121>, thine

only


<03173> [son]:




 17  That in blessing <01288> I will bless <01288> thee, and in


multiplying <07235> I will multiply <07235> thy seed <02233> as

the


stars <03556> of the heaven <08064>, and as the sand <02344>

which


<0834> [is] upon the sea <03220> shore <08193>; and thy seed

<02233>


shall possess <03423> the gate <08179> of his enemies <0341>;




 18  And in thy seed <02233> shall all <03605> the nations

<01471>


of the earth <0776> be blessed <01288>; because thou hast obeyed


<08085> my voice <06963>.




 19  So Abraham <085> returned <07725> unto his young <05288>

men,


and they rose <06965> up and went <03212> together <03162> to


Beersheba <0884>; and Abraham <085> dwelt <03427> at Beersheba


<0884>.




 20. And it came <01961> to pass after <0310> these things

<01697>,


that it was told <05046> Abraham <085>, saying <0559>, Behold


<02009>, Milcah <04435>, she hath also born <03205> children

<01121>


unto thy brother <0251> Nahor <05152>;




 21  Huz <05780> his firstborn <01060>, and Buz <0938> his

brother


<0251>, and Kemuel <07055> the father <01> of Aram <0758>,




 22  And Chesed <03777>, and Hazo <02375>, and Pildash <06394>,

and


Jidlaph <03044>, and Bethuel <01328>.




 23  And Bethuel <01328> begat <03205> Rebekah <07259>: these

eight


<08083> Milcah <04435> did bear <03205> to Nahor <05152>,

Abraham's


<085> brother <0251>.




 24  And his concubine <06370>, whose name <08034> [was] Reumah


<07208>, she bare <03205> also Tebah <02875>, and Gaham <01514>,

and


Thahash <08477>, and Maachah <04601>.




Genesis  23




 1. And Sarah <08283> was an hundred <03967> and seven <07651>

and


twenty <06242> years <08141> old <02416>: [these were] the years


<08141> of the life <02416> of Sarah <08283>.




 2  And Sarah <08283> died <04191> in Kirjatharba <07153>; the

same


<01931> [is] Hebron <02275> in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>:


and Abraham <085> came <0935> to mourn <05594> for Sarah <08283>,


and to weep <01058> for her.




 3. And Abraham <085> stood <06965> up from before his dead

<04191>,


and spake <01696> unto the sons <01121> of Heth <02845>, saying


<0559>,




 4  I [am] a stranger <01616> and a sojourner <08453> with you:

give


<05414> me a possession <0272> of a buryingplace <06913> with

you,


that I may bury <06912> my dead <04191> out of my sight <06440>.




 5  And the children <01121> of Heth <02845> answered <06030>


Abraham <085>, saying <0559> unto him,




 6  Hear <08085> us, my lord <0113>: thou [art] a mighty <0430>


prince <05387> among <08432> us: in the choice <04005> of our


sepulchres <06913> bury <06912> thy dead <04191>; none of us

shall


withhold <03607> from thee his sepulchre <06913>, but that thou


mayest bury <06912> thy dead <04191>.




 7  And Abraham <085> stood <06965> up, and bowed <07812>

himself to


the people <05971> of the land <0776>, [even] to the children


<01121> of Heth <02845>.




 8  And he communed <01696> with them, saying <0559>, If it be

your


mind <05315> that I should bury <06912> my dead <04191> out of my


sight <06440>; hear <08085> me, and intreat <06293> for me to

Ephron


<06085> the son <01121> of Zohar <06714>,




 9  That he may give <05414> me the cave <04631> of Machpelah


<04375>, which <0834> he hath, which <0834> [is] in the end

<07097>


of his field <07704>; for as much <07227> money <03701> as it is


worth <04392> he shall give <05414> it me for a possession

<0272> of


a buryingplace <06913> amongst <08432> you.




 10  And Ephron <06085> dwelt <03427> among <08432> the children


<01121> of Heth <02845>: and Ephron <06085> the Hittite <02850>


answered <06030> Abraham <085> in the audience <0241> of the


children <01121> of Heth <02845>, [even] of all <03605> that went


<0935> in at the gate <08179> of his city <05892>, saying <0559>,




 11  Nay <03808>, my lord <0113>, hear <08085> me: the field

<07704>


give <05414> I thee, and the cave <04631> that [is] therein, I

give


<05414> it thee; in the presence <05869> of the sons <01121> of

my


people <05971> give <05414> I it thee: bury <06912> thy dead


<04191>.




 12  And Abraham <085> bowed <07812> down <07812> himself before


<06440> the people <05971> of the land <0776>.




 13  And he spake <01696> unto Ephron <06085> in the audience

<0241>


of the people <05971> of the land <0776>, saying <0559>, But if

thou


[wilt give it], I pray <03863> thee, hear <08085> me: I will give


<05414> thee money <03701> for the field <07704>; take <03947>

[it]


of me, and I will bury <06912> my dead <04191> there <08033>.




 14  And Ephron <06085> answered <06030> Abraham <085>, saying


<0559> unto him,




 15  My lord <0113>, hearken <08085> unto me: the land <0776> [is


worth] four <0702> hundred <03967> shekels <08255> of silver


<03701>; what <04100> [is] that betwixt <0996> me and thee? bury


<06912> therefore thy dead <04191>.




 16. And Abraham <085> hearkened <08085> unto Ephron <06085>; and


Abraham weighed <08254> to Ephron <06085> the silver <03701>,

which


<0834> he had named <01696> in the audience <0241> of the sons


<01121> of Heth <02845>, four <0702> hundred <03967> shekels

<08255>


of silver <03701>, current <05674> [money <03701>] with the


merchant.




 17  And the field <07704> of Ephron <06085>, which <0834> [was]

in


Machpelah <04375>, which <0834> [was] before <06440> Mamre

<04471>,


the field <07704>, and the cave <04631> which <0834> [was]

therein,


and all <03605> the trees <06086> that [were] in the field

<07704>,


that [were] in all <03605> the borders <01366> round <05439>

about,


were made sure <06965>




 18  Unto Abraham <085> for a possession <04736> in the presence


<05869> of the children <01121> of Heth <02845>, before <06440>

all


<03605> that went <0935> in at the gate <08179> of his city

<05892>.




 19  And after <0310> this, Abraham <085> buried <06912> Sarah


<08283> his wife <0802> in the cave <04631> of the field <07704>

of


Machpelah <04375> before Mamre <04471>: the same <01931> [is]

Hebron


<02275> in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>.




 20  And the field <07704>, and the cave <04631> that [is]

therein,


were made sure <06965> unto Abraham <085> for a possession

<0272> of


a buryingplace <06913> by the sons <01121> of Heth <02845>.




Genesis  24




 1. And Abraham <085> was old <02204>, [and] well stricken

<0935> in


age <03117>: and the LORD <03068> had blessed <01288> Abraham

<085>


in all <03605> things.




 2  And Abraham <085> said <0559> unto his eldest <02205> servant


<05650> of his house <01004>, that ruled <04910> over all <03605>


that he had, Put <07760>, I pray <04994> thee, thy hand <03027>


under <08478> my thigh <03409>:




 3  And I will make thee swear <07650> by the LORD <03068>, the

God


<0430> of heaven <08064>, and the God <0430> of the earth <0776>,


that thou shalt not take <03947> a wife <0802> unto my son

<01121>


of the daughters <01363> of the Canaanites <03669>, among <07130>


whom <0834> I dwell <03418>:




 4  But thou shalt go <03212> unto my country <0776>, and to my


kindred <04138>, and take <03947> a wife <0802> unto my son

<01121>


Isaac <03327>.




 5  And the servant <05650> said <0559> unto him, Peradventure


<0194> the woman <0802> will not be willing <014> to follow me

unto


this land <0776>: must I needs bring <07725> thy son <01121>

again


<07725> unto the land <0776> from whence <0370> thou camest

<03318>?




 6  And Abraham <085> said <0559> unto him, Beware <08104> thou

that


thou bring <07725> not my son <01121> thither again <07725>.




 7  The LORD <03068> God <0430> of heaven <08064>, which <0834>

took


<03947> me from my father's <01> house <01004>, and from the land


<0776> of my kindred <04138>, and which <0834> spake <01696> unto


me, and that sware <07650> unto me, saying <0559>, Unto thy seed


<02233> will I give <05414> this land <0776>; he shall send

<07971>


his angel <04397> before <06440> thee, and thou shalt take

<03947> a


wife <0802> unto my son <01121> from thence <08033>.




 8  And if the woman <0802> will not be willing <014> to follow


thee, then thou shalt be clear <05352> from this my oath <07621>:


only bring <07725> not my son <01121> thither <08033> again

<07725>.




 9  And the servant <05650> put <07760> his hand <03027> under


<08478> the thigh <03409> of Abraham <085> his master <0113>, and


sware <07650> to him concerning <05921> that matter <01697>.




 10. And the servant <05650> took <03947> ten <06235> camels

<01581>


of the camels <01581> of his master <0113>, and departed <03212>;


for all <03605> the goods <02898> of his master <0113> [were] in

his


hand <03027>: and he arose <06965>, and went <03212> to

Mesopotamia


<0763>, unto the city <05892> of Nahor <05152>.




 11  And he made his camels <01581> to kneel <01288> down <01288>


without <02351> the city <05892> by a well <0875> of water

<04325>


at the time <06256> of the evening <06153>, [even] the time

<06256>


that women go <03318> out to draw <07579> [water].




 12  And he said <0559>, O LORD <03068> God <0430> of my master


<0113> Abraham <085>, I pray <04994> thee, send <07136> me good


speed <07136> this day <03117>, and shew <06213> kindness <02617>


unto my master <0113> Abraham <085>.




 13  Behold <02009>, I stand <05324> [here] by the well <05869>

of


water <04325>; and the daughters <01363> of the men <0582> of the


city <05892> come <03318> out to draw <07579> water <04325>:




 14  And let it come <0935> to pass, that the damsel <05291> to

whom


<0834> I shall say <0559>, Let <05186> down <05186> thy pitcher


<03537>, I pray <04994> thee, that I may drink <08354>; and she


shall say <0559>, Drink <08354>, and I will give thy camels

<01581>


drink <08248> also: [let the same <01931> be] she [that] thou

hast


appointed <03198> for thy servant <05650> Isaac <03327>; and

thereby


<02004> shall I know <03045> that thou hast shewed <06213>

kindness


<02617> unto my master <0113>.




 15  And it came <01961> to pass, before <06440> he had done

<03615>


speaking <01696>, that, behold <02009>, Rebekah <07259> came

<03318>


out, who <0834> was born <03205> to Bethuel <01328>, son <01121>

of


Milcah <04435>, the wife <0802> of Nahor <05152>, Abraham's <085>


brother <0251>, with her pitcher <03537> upon her shoulder

<07926>.




 16  And the damsel <05291> [was] very <03966> fair <02896> to

look


<04758> upon, a virgin <01330>, neither <03808> had any man

<0376>


known <03045> her: and she went <03381> down <03381> to the well


<05869>, and filled <04390> her pitcher <03537>, and came <05927>


up.




 17  And the servant <05650> ran <07323> to meet <07125> her, and


said <0559>, Let me, I pray <04994> thee, drink <01572> a little


<04592> water <04325> of thy pitcher <03537>.




 18  And she said <0559>, Drink <08354>, my lord <0113>: and she


hasted <04116>, and let <03381> down <03381> her pitcher <03537>


upon her hand <03027>, and gave him drink <08248>.




 19  And when <03588> she had done <03615> giving him drink

<08248>,


she said <0559>, I will draw <07579> [water <04325>] for thy

camels


<01581> also, until they have done <03615> drinking <08354>.




 20  And she hasted <04116>, and emptied <06168> her pitcher

<03537>


into <0413> the trough <08268>, and ran <07323> again <05750>

unto


the well <0875> to draw <07579> [water <04325>], and drew <08025>


for all <03605> his camels <01581>.




 21  And the man <0376> wondering <07583> at her held <02790> his


peace <02790>, to wit <03045> whether <0518> the LORD <03068> had


made <06743> his journey <01870> prosperous <06743> or not.




 22  And it came <01961> to pass, as the camels <01581> had done


<03615> drinking <08354>, that the man <0376> took <03947> a

golden


<02091> earring <05141> of half <01235> a shekel <01235> weight


<04948>, and two <08147> bracelets <06781> for her hands <03027>

of


ten <06235> [shekels <08255>] weight <04948> of gold <02091>;




 23  And said <0559>, Whose <04310> daughter <01323> [art] thou?


tell <05046> me, I pray <04994> thee: is there room <04725> [in]

thy


father's <01> house <01004> for us to lodge <03885> in?




 24  And she said <0559> unto him, I [am] the daughter <01323> of


Bethuel <01328> the son <01121> of Milcah <04435>, which <0834>

she


bare <03205> unto Nahor <05152>.




 25  She said <0559> moreover unto him, We have both <01571>

straw


<08401> and provender <04554> enough <07227>, and room <04725> to


lodge <03885> in.




 26  And the man <0376> bowed <06915> down <06915> his head, and


worshipped <07812> the LORD <03068>.




 27  And he said <0559>, Blessed <01288> [be] the LORD <03068>

God


<0430> of my master <0113> Abraham <085>, who <04310> hath not

left


<05800> destitute <05800> my master <0113> of his mercy <02617>

and


his truth <0571>: I [being] in the way <01870>, the LORD <03068>

led


<05148> me to the house <01004> of my master's <0113> brethren


<0251>.




 28  And the damsel <05291> ran <07323>, and told <05046> [them

of]


her mother's <0517> house <01004> these things <01697>.




 29. And Rebekah <07259> had a brother <0251>, and his name

<08034>


[was] Laban <03837>: and Laban <03837> ran <07323> out unto the

man


<0376>, unto the well <05869>.




 30  And it came <01961> to pass, when <03588> he saw <07200> the


earring <05141> and bracelets <06781> upon his sister's <0269>

hands


<03027>, and when <03588> he heard <08085> the words <01697> of


Rebekah <07259> his sister <0269>, saying <0559>, Thus <03541>

spake


<01696> the man <0376> unto me; that he came <0935> unto the man


<0376>; and, behold <02009>, he stood <05975> by the camels

<01581>


at <05921> the well <05869>.




 31  And he said <0559>, Come <0935> in, thou blessed <01288> of

the


LORD <03068>; wherefore <04100> standest <05975> thou without


<02351>? for I have prepared <06437> the house <01004>, and room


<04725> for the camels <01581>.




 32  And the man <0376> came <0935> into the house <01004>: and

he


ungirded <06605> his camels <01581>, and gave <05414> straw

<08401>


and provender <04554> for the camels <01581>, and water <04325>

to


wash <07364> his feet <07272>, and the men's <0582> feet <07272>


that [were] with him.




 33  And there was set <07760> [meat] before <06440> him to eat


<0398>: but he said <0559>, I will not eat <0398>, until I have

told


<01696> mine errand <01697>. And he said <0559>, Speak <01696>

on.




 34  And he said <0559>, I [am] Abraham's <085> servant <05650>.




 35  And the LORD <03068> hath blessed <01288> my master <0113>


greatly <03966>; and he is become <01431> great <01431>: and he

hath


given <05414> him flocks <06629>, and herds <01241>, and silver


<03701>, and gold <02091>, and menservants <05650>, and

maidservants


<08198>, and camels <01581>, and asses <02543>.




 36  And Sarah <08283> my master's <0113> wife <0802> bare

<03205> a


son <01121> to my master <0113> when <0310> she was old <02209>:

and


unto him hath he given <05414> all <03605> that he hath.




 37  And my master <0113> made me swear <07650>, saying <0559>,

Thou


shalt not take <03947> a wife <0802> to my son <01121> of the


daughters <01363> of the Canaanites <03669>, in whose land

<0776> I


dwell <03418>:




 38  But thou shalt go <03212> unto my father's <01> house

<01004>,


and to my kindred <04940>, and take <03947> a wife <0802> unto my


son <01121>.




 39  And I said <0559> unto my master <0113>, Peradventure <0194>


the woman <0802> will not follow me.




 40  And he said <0559> unto me, The LORD <03068>, before <06440>


whom <0834> I walk <01980>, will send <07971> his angel <04397>

with


thee, and prosper <06743> thy way <01870>; and thou shalt take


<03947> a wife <0802> for my son <01121> of my kindred <04940>,

and


of my father's <01> house <01004>:




 41  Then <0227> shalt thou be clear <05352> from [this] my oath


<0423>, when <03588> thou comest <0935> to my kindred <04940>;

and


if <0518> they give <05414> not thee [one], thou shalt be clear


<05355> from my oath <0423>.




 42  And I came <0935> this day <03117> unto the well <05869>,

and


said <0559>, O LORD <03068> God <0430> of my master <0113>

Abraham


<085>, if <0518> now <04994> thou do prosper <06743> my way

<01870>


which <0834> I go <01980>:




 43  Behold <02009>, I stand <05324> by the well <05869> of water


<04325>; and it shall come <01961> to pass, that when <03588> the


virgin <05959> cometh <03318> forth <03318> to draw <07579>

[water],


and I say <0559> to her, Give me, I pray <04994> thee, a little


<04592> water <04325> of thy pitcher <03537> to drink <08248>;




 44  And she say <0559> to me, Both <08147> drink <08354> thou,

and


I will also <01571> draw <07579> for thy camels <01581>: [let]

the


same <01931> [be] the woman <0802> whom <0834> the LORD <03068>

hath


appointed <03198> out for my master's <0113> son <01121>.




 45  And before <02962> I had done <03615> speaking <01696> in

mine


heart <03820>, behold <02009>, Rebekah <07259> came <03318> forth


<03318> with her pitcher <03537> on <05921> her shoulder <07926>;


and she went <03381> down <03381> unto the well <05869>, and drew


<07579> [water <04325>]: and I said <0559> unto her, Let me drink


<08248>, I pray <04994> thee.




 46  And she made haste <04116>, and let <03381> down <03381> her


pitcher <03537> from her [shoulder], and said <0559>, Drink

<08354>,


and I will give thy camels <01581> drink <08248> also <01571>:

so I


drank <08354>, and she made the camels <01581> drink <08354> also


<01571>.




 47  And I asked <07592> her, and said <0559>, Whose daughter


<01323> [art] thou? And she said <0559>, The daughter <01323> of


Bethuel <01328>, Nahor's <05152> son <01121>, whom <0834> Milcah


<04435> bare <03205> unto him: and I put <07760> the earring

<05141>


upon her face <0639>, and the bracelets <06781> upon her hands


<03027>.




 48  And I bowed <06915> down <06915> my head, and worshipped


<07812> the LORD <03068>, and blessed <01288> the LORD <03068>

God


<0430> of my master <0113> Abraham <085>, which <0834> had led


<05148> me in the right <0571> way <01870> to take <03947> my


master's <0113> brother's <0251> daughter <01323> unto his son


<01121>.




 49  And now <06258> if <0518> ye will deal <06213> kindly

<02617>


and truly <0571> with my master <0113>, tell <05046> me: and if


<0518> not, tell <05046> me; that I may turn <06437> to the right


<03225> hand <03225>, or <0176> to the left <08040>.




 50  Then Laban <03837> and Bethuel <01328> answered <06030> and


said <0559>, The thing <01697> proceedeth <03318> from the LORD


<03068>: we cannot speak <01696> unto thee bad <07451> or <0176>


good <02896>.




 51  Behold <02009>, Rebekah <07259> [is] before <06440> thee,

take


<03947> [her], and go <03212>, and let her be thy master's <0113>


son's <01121> wife <0802>, as the LORD <03068> hath spoken

<01696>.




 52  And it came <01961> to pass, that, when Abraham's <085>

servant


<05650> heard <08085> their words <01697>, he worshipped <07812>

the


LORD <03068>, [bowing himself] to the earth <0776>.




 53  And the servant <05650> brought <03318> forth <03318> jewels


<03627> of silver <03701>, and jewels <03627> of gold <02091>,

and


raiment <0899>, and gave <05414> [them] to Rebekah <07259>: he

gave


<05414> also to her brother <0251> and to her mother <0517>

precious


<04030> things.




 54. And they did eat <0398> and drink <08354>, he and the men


<0582> that [were] with him, and tarried <03885> all <03885>

night;


and they rose <06965> up in the morning <01242>, and he said

<0559>,


Send <07971> me away unto my master <0113>.




 55  And her brother <0251> and her mother <0517> said <0559>,

Let


the damsel <05291> abide <03427> with us [a few] days <03117>, at


<0176> the least <0176> ten <06218>; after <0310> that she shall

go


<03212>.




 56  And he said <0559> unto them, Hinder <0309> me not, seeing

the


LORD <03068> hath prospered <06743> my way <01870>; send <07971>

me


away that I may go <03212> to my master <0113>.




 57  And they said <0559>, We will call <07121> the damsel

<05291>,


and enquire <07592> at her mouth <06310>.




 58  And they called <07121> Rebekah <07259>, and said <0559>

unto


her, Wilt thou go <03212> with this <02088> man <0376>? And she

said


<0559>, I will go <03212>.




 59  And they sent <07971> away Rebekah <07259> their sister

<0269>,


and her nurse <03243>, and Abraham's <085> servant <05650>, and

his


men <0582>.




 60  And they blessed <01288> Rebekah <07259>, and said <0559>

unto


her, Thou [art] our sister <0269>, be thou [the mother] of

thousands


<0505> of millions <07233>, and let thy seed <02233> possess

<03423>


the gate <08179> of those which hate <08130> them.




 61  And Rebekah <07259> arose <06965>, and her damsels <05291>,

and


they rode <07392> upon the camels <01581>, and followed the man


<0376>: and the servant <05650> took <03947> Rebekah <07259>, and


went <03212> his way <03212>.




 62. And Isaac <03327> came <0935> from the way <0935> of the

well


Lahairoi <0883>; for he dwelt <03427> in the south <05045>

country


<0776>.




 63  And Isaac <03327> went <03318> out to meditate in the field


<07704> at the eventide: and he lifted <05375> up his eyes

<05869>,


and saw <07200>, and, behold <02009>, the camels <01581> [were]


coming <0935>.




 64  And Rebekah <07259> lifted <05375> up her eyes <05869>, and


when she saw <07200> Isaac <03327>, she lighted <05307> off

<05921>


the camel <01581>.




 65  For she [had] said <0559> unto the servant <05650>, What


<04310> man <0376> [is] this <01976> that walketh <01980> in the


field <07704> to meet <07125> us? And the servant <05650> [had]

said


<0559>, It [is] my master <0113>: therefore she took <03947> a

vail


<06809>, and covered <03680> herself.




 66  And the servant <05650> told <05608> Isaac <03327> all

<03605>


things <01697> that he had done <06213>.




 67  And Isaac <03327> brought <0935> her into his mother <0517>


Sarah's <08283> tent <0168>, and took <03947> Rebekah <07259>,

and


she became <01961> his wife <0802>; and he loved <0157> her: and


Isaac <03327> was comforted <05162> after <0310> his mother's

<0517>


[death].




Genesis  25




 1. Then again <03254> Abraham <085> took <03947> a wife <0802>,

and


her name <08034> [was] Keturah <06989>.




 2  And she bare <03205> him Zimran <02175>, and Jokshan <03370>,


and Medan <04091>, and Midian <04080>, and Ishbak <03435>, and

Shuah


<07774>.




 3  And Jokshan <03370> begat <03205> Sheba <07614>, and Dedan


<01719>. And the sons <01121> of Dedan <01719> were Asshurim

<0805>,


and Letushim <03912>, and Leummim <03817>.




 4  And the sons <01121> of Midian <04080>; Ephah <05891>, and

Epher


<06081>, and Hanoch <02585>, and Abida <028>, and Eldaah <0420>.

All


<03605> these <0428> [were] the children <01121> of Keturah

<06989>.




 5  And Abraham <085> gave <05414> all <03605> that he had unto


Isaac <03327>.




 6  But unto the sons <01121> of the concubines <06370>, which


<0834> Abraham <085> had, Abraham <085> gave <05414> gifts

<04979>,


and sent <07971> them away from Isaac <03327> his son <01121>,

while


he yet lived <02416>, eastward <06924>, unto the east <06924>


country <0776>.




 7  And these <0428> [are] the days <03117> of the years <08141>

of


Abraham's <085> life <02416> which <0834> he lived <02425>, an


hundred <03967> threescore <07657> and fifteen <02568> years


<08141>.




 8  Then Abraham <085> gave up the ghost <01478>, and died

<04191>


in a good <02896> old <07872> age <07872>, an old <02205> man,

and


full <07649> [of years]; and was gathered <0622> to his people


<05971>.




 9  And his sons <01121> Isaac <03327> and Ishmael <03458> buried


<06912> him in the cave <04631> of Machpelah <04375>, in the

field


<07704> of Ephron <06085> the son <01121> of Zohar <06714> the


Hittite <02850>, which <0834> [is] before Mamre <04471>;




 10  The field <07704> which <0834> Abraham <085> purchased

<07069>


of the sons <01121> of Heth <02845>: there <08033> was Abraham

<085>


buried <06912>, and Sarah <08283> his wife <0802>.




 11. And it came <01061> to pass after <0310> the death <04194>

of


Abraham <085>, that God <0430> blessed <01288> his son <01121>

Isaac


<03327>; and Isaac <03327> dwelt <03427> by the well <0883>

Lahairoi


<0883>.




 12  Now these <0428> [are] the generations <08435> of Ishmael


<03458>, Abraham's <085> son <01121>, whom <0834> Hagar <01904>

the


Egyptian <04713>, Sarah's <08283> handmaid <08198>, bare <03205>


unto Abraham <085>:




 13  And these <0428> [are] the names <08034> of the sons

<01121> of


Ishmael <03458>, by their names <08034>, according to their


generations <08435>: the firstborn <01060> of Ishmael <03458>,


Nebajoth <05032>; and Kedar <06938>, and Adbeel <0110>, and

Mibsam


<04017>,




 14  And Mishma <04927>, and Dumah <01746>, and Massa <04854>,




 15  Hadar <01924>, and Tema <08485>, Jetur <03195>, Naphish


<05305>, and Kedemah <06929>:




 16  These <0428> [are] the sons <01121> of Ishmael <03458>, and


these <0428> [are] their names <08034>, by their towns <02691>,

and


by their castles <02918>; twelve princes <05387> according to

their


nations <0523>.




 17  And these <0428> [are] the years <08141> of the life

<02416> of


Ishmael <03458>, an hundred <03967> and thirty <07970> and seven


<07651> years <08141>: and he gave up the ghost <01478> and died


<04191>; and was gathered <0622> unto his people <05971>.




 18  And they dwelt <07931> from Havilah <02341> unto Shur

<07793>,


that [is] before Egypt <04714>, as thou goest <0935> toward

Assyria


<0804>: [and] he died <05307> in the presence <06440> of all

<03605>


his brethren <0251>.




 19. And these <0428> [are] the generations <08435> of Isaac


<03327>, Abraham's <085> son <01121>: Abraham <085> begat <03205>


Isaac <03327>:




 20  And Isaac <03327> was forty <0705> years <08141> old <01121>


when he took <03947> Rebekah <07259> to wife <0802>, the daughter


<01323> of Bethuel <01328> the Syrian <0761> of Padanaram

<06307>,


the sister <0269> to Laban <03837> the Syrian <0761>.




 21  And Isaac <03327> intreated <06279> the LORD <03068> for his


wife <0802>, because <03588> she [was] barren <06135>: and the

LORD


<03068> was intreated <06279> of him, and Rebekah <07259> his

wife


<0802> conceived <02030>.




 22  And the children <01121> struggled <07533> together within


<07130> her; and she said <0559>, If <0518> [it be] so <03651>,

why


<04100> [am] I thus <02088>? And she went <03212> to enquire

<01875>


of the LORD <03068>.




 23  And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto her, Two <08147>

nations


<01471> [are] in thy womb <0990>, and two <08147> manner of

people


<03816> shall be separated <06504> from thy bowels <04578>; and

[the


one] people <03816> shall be stronger <0553> than [the other]

people


<03816>; and the elder <07227> shall serve <05647> the younger


<06810>.




 24  And when her days <03117> to be delivered <03205> were


fulfilled <04390>, behold <02009>, [there were] twins <08380> in

her


womb <0990>.




 25  And the first <07223> came <03318> out red <0132>, all

<03605>


over like an hairy <08181> garment <0155>; and they called

<07121>


his name <08034> Esau <06215>.




 26  And after <0310> that came <03318> his brother <0251> out,

and


his hand <03027> took hold <0270> on Esau's <06215> heel <06119>;


and his name <08034> was called <07121> Jacob <03290>: and Isaac


<03327> [was] threescore <08346> years <08141> old <01121> when

she


bare <03205> them.




 27  And the boys <05288> grew <01431>: and Esau <06215> was a


cunning <03045> hunter <06718>, a man <0376> of the field

<07704>;


and Jacob <03290> [was] a plain <08535> man <0376>, dwelling

<03427>


in tents <0168>.




 28  And Isaac <03327> loved <0157> Esau <06215>, because

<03588> he


did eat <06310> of [his] venison <06718>: but Rebekah <07259>

loved


<0157> Jacob <03290>.




 29. And Jacob <03290> sod <02102> pottage <05138>: and Esau

<06215>


came <0935> from the field <07704>, and he [was] faint <05889>:




 30  And Esau <06215> said <0559> to Jacob <03290>, Feed <03938>

me,


I pray <04994> thee, with that same <02088> red <0122> [pottage];


for I [am] faint <05889>: therefore was his name <08034> called


<07121> Edom <0123>.




 31  And Jacob <03290> said <0559>, Sell <04376> me this day

<03117>


thy birthright <01062>.




 32  And Esau <06215> said <0559>, Behold <02009>, I [am] at the


point <01980> to die <04191>: and what <04100> profit shall this


<02088> birthright <01062> do to me?




 33  And Jacob <03290> said <0559>, Swear <07650> to me this day


<03117>; and he sware <07650> unto him: and he sold <04376> his


birthright <01062> unto Jacob <03290>.




 34  Then Jacob <03290> gave <05414> Esau <06215> bread <03899>

and


pottage <05138> of lentiles <05742>; and he did eat <0398> and

drink


<08354>, and rose <06965> up, and went <03212> his way <03212>:

thus


Esau <06215> despised <0959> [his] birthright <01062>.




Genesis  26




 1. And there was a famine <07458> in the land <0776>, beside

<0905>


the first <07223> famine <07458> that was in the days <03117> of


Abraham <085>. And Isaac <03327> went <03212> unto Abimelech

<040>


king <04428> of the Philistines <06430> unto Gerar <01642>.




 2  And the LORD <03068> appeared <07200> unto him, and said

<0559>,


Go <03381> not down <03381> into Egypt <04714>; dwell <07931> in

the


land <0776> which <0834> I shall tell <0559> thee of:




 3  Sojourn <01481> in this <02063> land <0776>, and I will be

with


thee, and will bless <01288> thee; for unto thee, and unto thy

seed


<02233>, I will give <05414> all <03605> these <0411> countries


<0776>, and I will perform <06965> the oath <07621> which <0834>

I


sware <07650> unto Abraham <085> thy father <01>;




 4  And I will make thy seed <02233> to multiply <07235> as the


stars <03556> of heaven <08064>, and will give <05414> unto thy

seed


<02233> all <03605> these <0411> countries <0776>; and in thy

seed


<02233> shall all <03605> the nations <01471> of the earth

<0776> be


blessed <01288>;




 5  Because <06119> that Abraham <085> obeyed <08085> my voice


<06963>, and kept <08104> my charge <04931>, my commandments


<04687>, my statutes <02708>, and my laws <08451>.




 6. And Isaac <03327> dwelt <03427> in Gerar <01642>:




 7  And the men <0582> of the place <04725> asked <07592> [him]

of


his wife <0802>; and he said <0559>, She [is] my sister <0269>:

for


he feared <03372> to say <0559>, [She is] my wife <0802>; lest


<06435>, [said <0559> he], the men <0582> of the place <04725>


should kill <02026> me for Rebekah <07259>; because <03588> she


[was] fair <02896> to look <04758> upon.




 8  And it came <01961> to pass, when <03588> he had been there


<08033> a long <0748> time <03117>, that Abimelech <040> king


<04428> of the Philistines <06430> looked <08259> out at <01157>

a


window <02474>, and saw <07200>, and, behold <02009>, Isaac

<03327>


[was] sporting <06711> with Rebekah <07259> his wife <0802>.




 9  And Abimelech <040> called <07121> Isaac <03327>, and said


<0559>, Behold <02009>, of a surety <0389> she [is] thy wife

<0802>:


and how <0349> saidst <0559> thou, She [is] my sister <0269>? And


Isaac <03327> said <0559> unto him, Because <03588> I said

<0559>,


Lest <06435> I die <04191> for her.




 10  And Abimelech <040> said <0559>, What <04100> [is] this

<02063>


thou hast done <06213> unto us? one <0259> of the people <05971>


might lightly <04592> have lien <07901> with thy wife <0802>, and


thou shouldest have brought <0935> guiltiness <0817> upon us.




 11  And Abimelech <040> charged <06680> all <03605> [his] people


<05971>, saying <0559>, He that toucheth <05060> this <02088> man


<0376> or his wife <0802> shall surely be put to death <04194>.




 12. Then Isaac <03327> sowed <02232> in that land <0776>, and


received <04672> in the same <01931> year <08141> an hundredfold:


and the LORD <03068> blessed <01288> him.




 13  And the man <0376> waxed great <01431>, and went <03212>


forward <01980>, and grew <01432> until <05704> he became <01431>


very <03966> great <01431>:




 14  For he had possession <04735> of flocks <06629>, and

possession


<04735> of herds <01241>, and great <07227> store of servants


<05657>: and the Philistines <06430> envied <07065> him.




 15  For all <03605> the wells <0875> which <0834> his father's

<01>


servants <05650> had digged <02658> in the days <03117> of

Abraham


<085> his father <01>, the Philistines <06430> had stopped

<05640>


them, and filled <04390> them with earth <06083>.




 16  And Abimelech <040> said <0559> unto Isaac <03327>, Go

<03212>


from us; for thou art much <03966> mightier <06105> than we.




 17  And Isaac <03327> departed <03212> thence <08033>, and

pitched


<02583> his tent in the valley <05158> of Gerar <01642>, and

dwelt


<03427> there <08033>.




 18  And Isaac <03327> digged <02658> again <07725> the wells

<0875>


of water <04325>, which <0834> they had digged <02658> in the

days


<03117> of Abraham <085> his father <01>; for the Philistines


<06430> had stopped <05640> them after <0310> the death <04194>

of


Abraham <085>: and he called <07121> their names <08034> after

the


names <08034> by which <0834> his father <01> had called <07121>


them.




 19  And Isaac's <03327> servants <05650> digged <02658> in the


valley <05158>, and found <04672> there <08033> a well <0875> of


springing <02416> water <04325>.




 20  And the herdmen <07462> of Gerar <01642> did strive <07378>


with Isaac's <03327> herdmen <07462>, saying <0559>, The water


<04325> [is] ours: and he called <07121> the name <08034> of the


well <0875> Esek <06320>; because <03588> they strove <06229>

with


him.




 21  And they digged <02658> another <0312> well <0875>, and

strove


<07378> for that also <01571>: and he called <07121> the name


<08034> of it Sitnah <07856>.




 22  And he removed <06275> from thence <08033>, and digged

<02658>


another <0312> well <0875>; and for that they strove <07378> not:


and he called <07121> the name <08034> of it Rehoboth <07344>;

and


he said <0559>, For now <06258> the LORD <03068> hath made room


<07337> for us, and we shall be fruitful <06509> in the land

<0776>.




 23  And he went <05927> up from thence <08033> to Beersheba

<0884>.




 24  And the LORD <03068> appeared <07200> unto him the same

<01931>


night <03915>, and said <0559>, I [am] the God <0430> of Abraham


<085> thy father <01>: fear <03372> not, for I [am] with thee,

and


will bless <01288> thee, and multiply <07235> thy seed <02233>

for


my servant <05650> Abraham's <085> sake <05668>.




 25  And he builded <01129> an altar <04196> there <08033>, and


called <07121> upon the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>, and


pitched <05186> his tent <0168> there <08033>: and there <08033>


Isaac's <03327> servants <05650> digged <03738> a well <0875>.




 26. Then Abimelech <040> went <01980> to him from Gerar <01642>,


and Ahuzzath <0276> one of his friends <04828>, and Phichol

<06369>


the chief captain <08269> of his army <06635>.




 27  And Isaac <03327> said <0559> unto them, Wherefore <04069>

come


<0935> ye to me, seeing <07200> ye hate <08130> me, and have sent


<07971> me away from you?




 28  And they said <0559>, We saw <07200> certainly that the LORD


<03068> was with thee: and we said <0559>, Let there be now

<04994>


an oath <0423> betwixt <0996> us, [even] betwixt <0996> us and

thee,


and let us make <03772> a covenant <01285> with thee;




 29  That thou wilt do <06213> us no <03808> hurt <07451>, as we


have not touched <05060> thee, and as we have done <06213> unto

thee


nothing <07535> but good <02896>, and have <01961> sent <07971>

thee


away in peace <07965>: thou [art] now <06258> the blessed

<01288> of


the LORD <03068>.




 30  And he made <06213> them a feast <04960>, and they did eat


<0398> and drink <08354>.




 31  And they rose <07925> up betimes <07925> in the morning


<01242>, and sware <07650> one <0376> to another <0312>: and

Isaac


<03327> sent <07971> them away, and they departed <03212> from

him


in peace <07965>.




 32  And it came <01961> to pass the same <01931> day <03117>,

that


Isaac's <03327> servants <05650> came <0935>, and told <05046>

him


concerning the well <0875> which <0834> they had digged <02658>,

and


said <0559> unto him, We have found <04672> water <04325>.




 33  And he called <07121> it Shebah <07656>: therefore the name


<08034> of the city <05892> [is] Beersheba <0884> unto this

<02088>


day <03117>.




 34. And Esau <06215> was forty <0705> years <08141> old <01121>


when <03588> he took <03947> to wife <0802> Judith <03067> the


daughter <01323> of Beeri <0882> the Hittite <02850>, and

Bashemath


<01315> the daughter <01323> of Elon <0356> the Hittite <02850>:




 35  Which <0834> were a grief <04786> of mind <07307> unto Isaac


<03327> and to Rebekah <07259>.




Genesis  27




 1. And it came <01961> to pass, that when <03588> Isaac <03327>

was


old <02204>, and his eyes <05869> were dim <03543>, so that he

could


not see <07200>, he called <07121> Esau <06215> his eldest

<01419>


son <01121>, and said <0559> unto him, My son <01121>: and he

said


<0559> unto him, Behold <02009>, [here am] I.




 2  And he said <0559>, Behold <02009> now <04994>, I am old


<02204>, I know <03045> not the day <03117> of my death <04194>:




 3  Now <06258> therefore take <05375>, I pray <04994> thee, thy


weapons <03627>, thy quiver <08522> and thy bow <07198>, and go


<03318> out to the field <07704>, and take <06679> me [some]

venison


<06720>;




 4  And make <06213> me savoury <04303> meat, such as I love

<0157>,


and bring <0935> [it] to me, that I may eat <0398>; that my soul


<05315> may bless <01288> thee before <02962> I die <04191>.




 5  And Rebekah <07259> heard <08085> when <03588> Isaac <03327>


spake <01696> to Esau <06215> his son <01121>. And Esau <06215>

went


<03212> to the field <07704> to hunt <06679> [for] venison

<06718>,


[and] to bring <0935> [it].




 6. And Rebekah <07259> spake <0559> unto Jacob <03290> her son


<01121>, saying <0559>, Behold <02009>, I heard <08085> thy

father


<01> speak <01696> unto Esau <06215> thy brother <0251>, saying


<0559>,




 7  Bring <0935> me venison <06718>, and make <06213> me savoury


<04303> meat, that I may eat <0398>, and bless <01288> thee

before


<06440> the LORD <03068> before <06440> my death <04194>.




 8  Now <06258> therefore, my son <01121>, obey <08085> my voice


<06963> according to that which <0834> I command <06680> thee.




 9  Go <03212> now <04994> to the flock <06629>, and fetch

<03947>


me from thence <08033> two <08147> good <02896> kids <01423> of

the


goats <05795>; and I will make <06213> them savoury <04303> meat

for


thy father <01>, such as he loveth <0157>:




 10  And thou shalt bring <0935> [it] to thy father <01>, that he


may eat <0398>, and that he may bless <01288> thee before <06440>


his death <04194>.




 11  And Jacob <03290> said <0559> to Rebekah <07259> his mother


<0517>, Behold <02005>, Esau <06215> my brother <0251> [is] a

hairy


<08163> man <0376>, and I [am] a smooth <02509> man <0376>:




 12  My father <01> peradventure <0194> will feel <04959> me,

and I


shall seem to him as a deceiver <08591>; and I shall bring

<0935> a


curse <07045> upon me, and not a blessing <01293>.




 13  And his mother <0517> said <0559> unto him, Upon me [be] thy


curse <07045>, my son <01121>: only obey <08085> my voice

<06963>,


and go <03212> fetch <03947> me [them].




 14  And he went <03212>, and fetched <03947>, and brought <0935>


[them] to his mother <0517>: and his mother <0517> made <06213>


savoury <04303> meat, such as his father <01> loved <0157>.




 15  And Rebekah <07259> took <03947> goodly <02530> raiment

<0899>


of her eldest <01419> son <01121> Esau <06215>, which <0834>

[were]


with her in the house <01004>, and put <03847> them upon Jacob


<03290> her younger <06996> son <01121>:




 16  And she put <03847> the skins <05785> of the kids <01423> of


the goats <05795> upon his hands <03027>, and upon the smooth


<02513> of his neck <06677>:




 17  And she gave <05414> the savoury <04303> meat and the bread


<03899>, which <0834> she had prepared <06213>, into the hand


<03027> of her son <01121> Jacob <03290>.




 18. And he came <0935> unto his father <01>, and said <0559>, My


father <01>: and he said <0559>, Here <02009> [am] I; who <04310>


[art] thou, my son <01121>?




 19  And Jacob <03290> said <0559> unto his father <01>, I [am]

Esau


<06215> thy firstborn <01060>; I have done <06213> according as

thou


badest <01696> me: arise <06965>, I pray <04994> thee, sit

<03427>


and eat <0398> of my venison <06718>, that thy soul <05315> may


bless <01288> me.




 20  And Isaac <03327> said <0559> unto his son <01121>, How

<04100>


[is it] that thou hast found <04672> [it] so quickly <04116>, my

son


<01121>? And he said <0559>, Because <03588> the LORD <03068> thy


God <0430> brought <07136> [it] to me.




 21  And Isaac <03327> said <0559> unto Jacob <03290>, Come

<05066>


near <05066>, I pray <04994> thee, that I may feel <04184> thee,

my


son <01121>, whether thou [be] my very <02088> son <01121> Esau


<06215> or not.




 22  And Jacob <03290> went <05066> near <05066> unto Isaac

<03327>


his father <01>; and he felt <04959> him, and said <0559>, The

voice


<06963> [is] Jacob's <03290> voice <06963>, but the hands <03027>


[are] the hands <03027> of Esau <06215>.




 23  And he discerned <05234> him not, because <03588> his hands


<03027> were hairy <08163>, as his brother <0251> Esau's <06215>


hands <03027>: so he blessed <01288> him.




 24  And he said <0559>, [Art] thou my very <02088> son <01121>

Esau


<06215>? And he said <0559>, I [am].




 25  And he said <0559>, Bring <05066> [it] near <05066> to me,

and


I will eat <0398> of my son's <01121> venison <06718>, that my

soul


<05315> may bless <01288> thee. And he brought <05066> [it] near


<05066> to him, and he did eat <0398>: and he brought <0935> him


wine <03196>, and he drank <08354>.




 26  And his father <01> Isaac <03327> said <0559> unto him, Come


<05066> near <05066> now <04994>, and kiss <05401> me, my son


<01121>.




 27  And he came <05066> near <05066>, and kissed <05401> him:

and


he smelled <07306> the smell <07381> of his raiment <0899>, and


blessed <01288> him, and said <0559>, See <07200>, the smell

<07381>


of my son <01121> [is] as the smell <07381> of a field <07704>

which


<0834> the LORD <03068> hath blessed <01288>:




 28  Therefore God <0430> give <05414> thee of the dew <02919> of


heaven <08064>, and the fatness <04924> of the earth <0776>, and


plenty <07230> of corn <01715> and wine <08492>:




 29  Let people <05971> serve <05647> thee, and nations <03816>

bow


<07812> down <07812> to thee: be lord <01376> over thy brethren


<0251>, and let thy mother's <0517> sons <01121> bow <07812> down


<07812> to thee: cursed <0779> [be] every one that curseth <0779>


thee, and blessed <01288> [be] he that blesseth <01288> thee.




 30. And it came <01961> to pass, as soon <0834> as Isaac <03327>


had made an end <03615> of blessing <01293> Jacob <03290>, and

Jacob


<03290> was yet <0389> scarce gone <03318> out from the presence


<06440> of Isaac <03327> his father <01>, that Esau <06215> his


brother <0251> came <0935> in from his hunting <06718>.




 31  And he also <01571> had made <06213> savoury <04303> meat,

and


brought <0935> it unto his father <01>, and said <0559> unto his


father <01>, Let my father <01> arise <06965>, and eat <0398> of

his


son's <01121> venison <06718>, that thy soul <05315> may bless


<01288> me.




 32  And Isaac <03327> his father <01> said <0559> unto him, Who


<04310> [art] thou? And he said <0559>, I [am] thy son <01121>,

thy


firstborn <01060> Esau <06215>.




 33  And Isaac <03327> trembled <02729> very <01419> exceedingly


<01419>, and said <0559>, Who <04310>? where <0645> [is] he that


hath taken <06679> venison <06718>, and brought <0935> [it] me,

and


I have eaten <0398> of all <03605> before <02962> thou camest


<0935>, and have blessed <01288> him? yea <01571>, [and] he

shall be


blessed <01288>.




 34  And when Esau <06215> heard <08085> the words <01697> of his


father <01>, he cried <06817> with a great <01419> and exceeding


<03966> bitter <04751> cry <06818>, and said <0559> unto his

father


<01>, Bless <01288> me, [even <01571>] me also <01571>, O my

father


<01>.




 35  And he said <0559>, Thy brother <0251> came <0935> with


subtilty <04820>, and hath taken <03947> away thy blessing

<01293>.




 36  And he said <0559>, Is not he rightly <03588> named Jacob


<03290>? for he hath supplanted <06117> me these <02088> two

<06471>


times <06471>: he took <03947> away my birthright <01062>; and,


behold <02009>, now <06258> he hath taken <03947> away my

blessing


<01293>. And he said <0559>, Hast thou not reserved <0680> a


blessing <01293> for me?




 37  And Isaac <03327> answered <06030> and said <0559> unto Esau


<06215>, Behold <02005>, I have made <07760> him thy lord

<01376>,


and all <03605> his brethren <0251> have I given <05414> to him

for


servants <05650>; and with corn <01715> and wine <08492> have I


sustained <05564> him: and what <04100> shall I do <06213> now


<0645> unto thee, my son <01121>?




 38  And Esau <06215> said <0559> unto his father <01>, Hast thou


but one <0259> blessing <01293>, my father <01>? bless <01288>

me,


[even <01571>] me also <01571>, O my father <01>. And Esau

<06215>


lifted <05375> up his voice <06963>, and wept <01058>.




 39  And Isaac <03327> his father <01> answered <06030> and said


<0559> unto him, Behold <02009>, thy dwelling <04186> shall be

the


fatness <04924> of the earth <0776>, and of the dew <02919> of


heaven <08064> from above <05921>;




 40  And by thy sword <02719> shalt thou live <02421>, and shalt


serve <05647> thy brother <0251>; and it shall come <01961> to

pass


when <0834> thou shalt have the dominion <07300>, that thou shalt


break <06561> his yoke <05923> from off <05921> thy neck <06677>.




 41. And Esau <06215> hated <07852> Jacob <03290> because

<05921> of


the blessing <01293> wherewith <0834> his father <01> blessed


<01288> him: and Esau <06215> said <0559> in his heart <03820>,

The


days <03117> of mourning <060> for my father <01> are at <07126>


hand <07126>; then will I slay <02026> my brother <0251> Jacob


<03290>.




 42  And these words <01697> of Esau <06215> her elder <01419>

son


<01121> were told <05046> to Rebekah <07259>: and she sent

<07971>


and called <07121> Jacob <03290> her younger <06996> son <01121>,


and said <0559> unto him, Behold <02009>, thy brother <0251> Esau


<06215>, as touching thee, doth comfort <05162> himself,

[purposing]


to kill <02026> thee.




 43  Now <06258> therefore, my son <01121>, obey <08085> my voice


<06963>; and arise <06965>, flee <01272> thou to Laban <03837> my


brother <0251> to Haran <02771>;




 44  And tarry <03427> with him a few <0259> days <03117>, until

thy


brother's <0251> fury <02534> turn <07725> away;




 45  Until <05704> thy brother's <0251> anger <0639> turn <07725>


away from thee, and he forget <07911> [that] which <0834> thou

hast


done <06213> to him: then I will send <07971>, and fetch <03947>


thee from thence <08033>: why <04100> should I be deprived

<07921>


also <01571> of you both <08147> in one <0259> day <03117>?




 46  And Rebekah <07259> said <0559> to Isaac <03327>, I am weary


<06973> of my life <02416> because <06440> of the daughters

<01363>


of Heth <02845>: if <0518> Jacob <03290> take <03947> a wife

<0802>


of the daughters <01363> of Heth <02845>, such as these <0428>


[which <0834> are] of the daughters <01363> of the land <0776>,

what


<04100> good shall my life <02416> do me?




Genesis  28




 1. And Isaac <03327> called <07121> Jacob <03290>, and blessed


<01288> him, and charged <06680> him, and said <0559> unto him,

Thou


shalt not take <03947> a wife <0802> of the daughters <01363> of


Canaan <03667>.




 2  Arise <06965>, go <03212> to Padanaram <06307>, to the house


<01004> of Bethuel <01328> thy mother's <0517> father <01>; and

take


<03947> thee a wife <0802> from thence <08033> of the daughters


<01363> of Laban <03837> thy mother's <0517> brother <0251>.




 3  And God <0410> Almighty <07706> bless <01288> thee, and make


thee fruitful <06509>, and multiply <07235> thee, that thou

mayest


be a multitude <06951> of people <05971>;




 4  And give <05414> thee the blessing <01293> of Abraham <085>,

to


thee, and to thy seed <02233> with thee; that thou mayest inherit


<03423> the land <0776> wherein thou art a stranger <04033>,

which


<0834> God <0430> gave <05414> unto Abraham <085>.




 5  And Isaac <03327> sent <07971> away Jacob <03290>: and he

went


<03212> to Padanaram <06307> unto Laban <03837>, son <01121> of


Bethuel <01328> the Syrian <0761>, the brother <0251> of Rebekah


<07259>, Jacob's <03290> and Esau's <06215> mother <0517>.




 6. When Esau <06215> saw <07200> that Isaac <03327> had blessed


<01288> Jacob <03290>, and sent <07971> him away to Padanaram


<06307>, to take <03947> him a wife <0802> from thence <08033>;

and


that as he blessed <01288> him he gave him a charge <06680>,

saying


<0559>, Thou shalt not take <03947> a wife <0802> of the

daughters


<01363> of Canaan <03667>;




 7  And that Jacob <03290> obeyed <08085> his father <01> and his


mother <0517>, and was gone <03212> to Padanaram <06307>;




 8  And Esau <06215> seeing <07200> that the daughters <01363> of


Canaan <03667> pleased not Isaac <03327> his father <01>;




 9  Then went <03212> Esau <06215> unto Ishmael <03458>, and took


<03947> unto the wives <0802> which he had Mahalath <04258> the


daughter <01323> of Ishmael <03458> Abraham's <085> son <01121>,

the


sister <0269> of Nebajoth <05032>, to be his wife <0802>.




 10. And Jacob <03290> went <03318> out from Beersheba <0884>,

and


went <03212> toward Haran <02771>.




 11  And he lighted <06293> upon a certain place <04725>, and


tarried <03885> there <08033> all <03885> night, because <03588>

the


sun <08121> was set <0935>; and he took <03947> of the stones

<068>


of that place <04725>, and put <07760> [them for] his pillows


<04763>, and lay <07901> down in that place <04725> to sleep


<07901>.




 12  And he dreamed <02492>, and behold <02009> a ladder <05551>

set


<05324> up on the earth <0776>, and the top <07218> of it reached


<05060> to heaven <08064>: and behold <02009> the angels <04397>

of


God <0430> ascending <05927> and descending <03381> on it.




 13  And, behold <02009>, the LORD <03068> stood <05324> above


<05921> it, and said <0559>, I [am] the LORD <03068> God <0430>

of


Abraham <085> thy father <01>, and the God <0430> of Isaac

<03327>:


the land <0776> whereon thou liest <07901>, to thee will I give


<05414> it, and to thy seed <02233>;




 14  And thy seed <02233> shall be as the dust <06083> of the

earth


<0776>, and thou shalt spread <06555> abroad <06555> to the west


<03220>, and to the east <06924>, and to the north <06828>, and

to


the south <05045>: and in thee and in thy seed <02233> shall all


<03605> the families <04940> of the earth <0127> be blessed

<01288>.




 15  And, behold <02009>, I [am] with thee, and will keep <08104>


thee in all <03605> [places] whither <0834> thou goest <03212>,

and


will bring <07725> thee again <07725> into <0413> this <02063>

land


<0127>; for I will not leave <05800> thee, until I have done

<06213>


[that] which <0834> I have spoken <01696> to thee of.




 16. And Jacob <03290> awaked <03364> out of his sleep <08142>,

and


he said <0559>, Surely <0403> the LORD <03068> is in this <02088>


place <04725>; and I knew <03045> [it] not.




 17  And he was afraid <03372>, and said <0559>, How <04100>


dreadful <03372> [is] this <02088> place <04725>! this <02088>

[is]


none <0369> other but the house <01004> of God <0430>, and this


<02088> [is] the gate <08179> of heaven <08064>.




 18  And Jacob <03290> rose <07925> up early <07925> in the

morning


<01242>, and took <03947> the stone <068> that he had put <07760>


[for] his pillows <04763>, and set <07760> it up [for] a pillar


<04676>, and poured <03332> oil <08081> upon the top <07218> of

it.




 19  And he called <07121> the name <08034> of that place <04725>


Bethel <01008>: but the name <08034> of that city <05892> [was


called] Luz <03870> at the first <07223>.




 20  And Jacob <03290> vowed <05087> a vow <05088>, saying

<0559>,


If <0518> God <0430> will be with me, and will keep <08104> me in


this <02088> way <01870> that I go <01980>, and will give

<05414> me


bread <03899> to eat <0398>, and raiment <0899> to put <03847>

on,




 21  So that I come <07725> again <07725> to my father's <01>

house


<01004> in peace <07965>; then shall the LORD <03068> be my God


<0430>:




 22  And this <02063> stone <068>, which <0834> I have set

<07760>


[for] a pillar <04676>, shall be God's <0430> house <01004>: and

of


all <03605> that thou shalt give <05414> me I will surely give

the


tenth <06237> unto thee.




Genesis  29




 1. Then Jacob <03290> went on his journey, and came <03212> into


<0413> the land <0776> of the people <01121> of the east <06924>.




 2  And he looked <07200>, and behold <02009> a well <0875> in

the


field <07704>, and, lo <02009>, there <08033> [were] three

<07969>


flocks <05739> of sheep <06629> lying <07257> by it; for out of

that


well <0875> they watered <08248> the flocks <05739>: and a great


<01419> stone <068> [was] upon the well's <0875> mouth <06310>.




 3  And thither <08033> were all <03605> the flocks <05739>

gathered


<0622>: and they rolled <01556> the stone <068> from the well's


<0875> mouth <06310>, and watered <08248> the sheep <06629>, and

put


<07725> the stone <068> again <07725> upon the well's <0875>

mouth


<06310> in his place <04725>.




 4  And Jacob <03290> said <0559> unto them, My brethren <0251>,


whence <0370> [be] ye? And they said <0559>, Of Haran <02771>

[are]


we.




 5  And he said <0559> unto them, Know <03045> ye Laban <03837>

the


son <01121> of Nahor <05152>? And they said <0559>, We know

<03045>


[him].




 6  And he said <0559> unto them, [Is] he well <07965>? And they


said <0559>, [He is] well <07965>: and, behold <02009>, Rachel


<07354> his daughter <01323> cometh <0935> with the sheep

<06629>.




 7  And he said <0559>, Lo <02005>, [it is] yet <05750> high

<01419>


day <03117>, neither <03808> [is it] time <06256> that the cattle


<04735> should be gathered <0622> together: water <04325> ye the


sheep <06629>, and go <03212> [and] feed <07462> [them].




 8  And they said <0559>, We cannot, until <05704> all <03605>

the


flocks <05739> be gathered <0622> together, and [till] they roll


<01556> the stone <068> from the well's <0875> mouth <06310>;

then


we water <04325> the sheep <06629>.




 9. And while he yet <05750> spake <01696> with them, Rachel

<07354>


came <0935> with her father's <01> sheep <06629>: for she kept


<07462> them.




 10  And it came <01961> to pass, when <0834> Jacob <03290> saw


<07200> Rachel <07354> the daughter <01323> of Laban <03837> his


mother's <0517> brother <0251>, and the sheep <06629> of Laban


<03837> his mother's <0517> brother <0251>, that Jacob <03290>

went


<05066> near <05066>, and rolled <01556> the stone <068> from the


well's <0875> mouth <06310>, and watered <08248> the flock

<06629>


of Laban <03837> his mother's <0517> brother <0251>.




 11  And Jacob <03290> kissed <05401> Rachel <07354>, and lifted


<05375> up his voice <06963>, and wept <01058>.




 12  And Jacob <03290> told <05046> Rachel <07354> that he [was]

her


father's <01> brother <0251>, and that he [was] Rebekah's <07259>


son <01121>: and she ran <07323> and told <05046> her father

<01>.




 13  And it came <01961> to pass, when Laban <03837> heard

<08085>


the tidings <08088> of Jacob <03290> his sister's <0269> son


<01121>, that he ran <07323> to meet <07125> him, and embraced


<02263> him, and kissed <05401> him, and brought <0935> him to

his


house <01004>. And he told <05608> Laban <03837> all <03605>

these


<0428> things <01697>.




 14  And Laban <03837> said <0559> to him, Surely <0389> thou

[art]


my bone <06106> and my flesh <01320>. And he abode <03427> with

him


the space <03117> of a month <02320>.




 15. And Laban <03837> said <0559> unto Jacob <03290>, Because


<03588> thou [art] my brother <0251>, shouldest thou therefore

serve


<05647> me for nought <02600>? tell <05046> me, what <04100>

[shall]


thy wages <04909> [be]?




 16  And Laban <03837> had two <08147> daughters <01363>: the

name


<08034> of the elder <01419> [was] Leah <03812>, and the name


<08034> of the younger <06996> [was] Rachel <07354>.




 17  Leah <03812> [was] tender <07390> eyed <05869>; but Rachel


<07354> was beautiful and well <03303> favoured <04758>.




 18  And Jacob <03290> loved <0157> Rachel <07354>; and said

<0559>,


I will serve <05647> thee seven <07651> years <08141> for Rachel


<07354> thy younger <06996> daughter <01323>.




 19  And Laban <03837> said <0559>, [It is] better <02896> that I


give <05414> her to thee, than that I should give <05414> her to


another <0312> man <0376>: abide <03427> with me.




 20  And Jacob <03290> served <05647> seven <07651> years <08141>


for Rachel <07354>; and they seemed unto him [but] a few <0259>

days


<03117>, for the love <0160> he had to her.




 21  And Jacob <03290> said <0559> unto Laban <03837>, Give

<03051>


[me] my wife <0802>, for my days <03117> are fulfilled <04390>,

that


I may go <0935> in unto her.




 22  And Laban <03837> gathered <0622> together all <03605> the

men


<0582> of the place <04725>, and made <06213> a feast <04960>.




 23  And it came <01961> to pass in the evening <06153>, that he


took <03947> Leah <03812> his daughter <01323>, and brought

<0935>


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




 24  And Laban <03837> gave <05414> unto his daughter <01323>

Leah


<03812> Zilpah <02153> his maid <08198> [for] an handmaid

<08198>.




 25  And it came <01961> to pass, that in the morning <01242>,


behold <02009>, it [was] Leah <03812>: and he said <0559> to

Laban


<03837>, What <04100> [is] this <02063> thou hast done <06213>

unto


me? did not I serve <05647> with thee for Rachel <07354>?

wherefore


then hast thou beguiled <07411> me?




 26  And Laban <03837> said <0559>, It must not be so <03651>

done


<06213> in our country <04725>, to give <05414> the younger

<06810>


before <06440> the firstborn <01067>.




 27  Fulfil <04390> her week <07620>, and we will give <05414>

thee


this <02063> also <01571> for the service <05656> which <0834>

thou


shalt serve <05647> with me yet <05750> seven <07651> other

<0312>


years <08141>.




 28  And Jacob <03290> did <06213> so <03651>, and fulfilled

<04390>


her week <07620>: and he gave <05414> him Rachel <07354> his


daughter <01323> to wife <0802> also.




 29  And Laban <03837> gave <05414> to Rachel <07354> his

daughter


<01323> Bilhah <01090> his handmaid <08198> to be her maid

<08198>.




 30  And he went <0935> in also <01571> unto Rachel <07354>, and

he


loved <0157> also <01571> Rachel <07354> more than Leah <03812>,

and


served <05647> with him yet <05750> seven <07651> other <0312>

years


<08141>.




 31. And when the LORD <03068> saw <07200> that Leah <03812>

[was]


hated <08130>, he opened <06605> her womb <07358>: but Rachel


<07354> [was] barren <06135>.




 32  And Leah <03812> conceived <02030>, and bare <03205> a son


<01121>, and she called <07121> his name <08034> Reuben <07205>:

for


she said <0559>, Surely <03588> the LORD <03068> hath looked

<07200>


upon my affliction <06040>; now <06258> therefore <03588> my

husband


<0376> will love <0157> me.




 33  And she conceived <02030> again <05750>, and bare <03205> a

son


<01121>; and said <0559>, Because <03588> the LORD <03068> hath


heard <08085> that I [was] hated <08130>, he hath therefore

<01571>


given <05414> me this <02088> [son] also <01571>: and she called


<07121> his name <08034> Simeon <08095>.




 34  And she conceived <02030> again <05750>, and bare <03205> a

son


<01121>; and said <0559>, Now this time <06471> will my husband


<0376> be joined <03867> unto me, because <03588> I have born


<03205> him three <07969> sons <01121>: therefore was his name


<08034> called <07121> Levi <03878>.




 35  And she conceived <02030> again <05750>, and bare <03205> a

son


<01121>: and she said <0559>, Now will I praise <03034> the LORD


<03068>: therefore she called <07121> his name <08034> Judah


<03063>; and left <05975> bearing <03205>.




Genesis  30




 1. And when Rachel <07354> saw <07200> that she bare <03205>

Jacob


<03290> no <0369> children, Rachel <07354> envied <07065> her

sister


<0269>; and said <0559> unto Jacob <03290>, Give <03051> me

children


<01121>, or else <0369> I die <04191>.




 2  And Jacob's <03290> anger <0639> was kindled <02734> against


Rachel <07354>: and he said <0559>, [Am] I in God's <0430> stead


<08478>, who <0834> hath withheld <04513> from thee the fruit


<06529> of the womb <0990>?




 3  And she said <0559>, Behold <02009> my maid <0519> Bilhah


<01090>, go <0935> in unto her; and she shall bear <03205> upon

my


knees <01290>, that I may also <01571> have children <01129> by

her.




 4  And she gave <05414> him Bilhah <01090> her handmaid <08198>

to


wife <0802>: and Jacob <03290> went <0935> in unto her.




 5  And Bilhah <01090> conceived <02030>, and bare <03205> Jacob


<03290> a son <01121>.




 6  And Rachel <07354> said <0559>, God <0430> hath judged

<01777>


me, and hath also <01571> heard <08085> my voice <06963>, and

hath


given <05414> me a son <01121>: therefore called <07121> she his


name <08034> Dan <01835>.




 7  And Bilhah <01090> Rachel's <07354> maid <08198> conceived


<02030> again <05750>, and bare <03205> Jacob <03290> a second


<08145> son <01121>.




 8  And Rachel <07354> said <0559>, With great <0430> wrestlings


<05319> have I wrestled <06617> with my sister <0269>, and I have


prevailed <03201>: and she called <07121> his name <08034>

Naphtali


<05321>.




 9  When Leah <03812> saw <07200> that she had left <05975>

bearing


<03205>, she took <03947> Zilpah <02153> her maid <08198>, and

gave


<05414> her Jacob <03290> to wife <0802>.




 10  And Zilpah <02153> Leah's <03812> maid <08198> bare <03205>


Jacob <03290> a son <01121>.




 11  And Leah <03812> said <0559>, A troop <01409> cometh <0935>:


and she called <07121> his name <08034> Gad <01410>.




 12  And Zilpah <02153> Leah's <03812> maid <08198> bare <03205>


Jacob <03290> a second <08145> son <01121>.




 13  And Leah <03812> said <0559>, Happy <0837> am I, for the


daughters <01363> will call <0833> me blessed <0833>: and she

called


<07121> his name <08034> Asher <0836>.




 14. And Reuben <07205> went <03212> in the days <03117> of wheat


<02406> harvest <07105>, and found <04672> mandrakes <01736> in

the


field <07704>, and brought <0935> them unto his mother <0517>

Leah


<03812>. Then Rachel <07354> said <0559> to Leah <03812>, Give


<05414> me, I pray <04994> thee, of thy son's <01121> mandrakes


<01736>.




 15  And she said <0559> unto her, [Is it] a small <04592> matter


that thou hast taken <03947> my husband <0376>? and wouldest thou


take <03947> away my son's <01121> mandrakes <01736> also

<01571>?


And Rachel <07354> said <0559>, Therefore <03651> he shall lie


<07901> with thee to night <03915> for thy son's <01121>

mandrakes


<01736>.




 16  And Jacob <03290> came <0935> out of the field <07704> in

the


evening <06153>, and Leah <03812> went <03318> out to meet

<07125>


him, and said <0559>, Thou must come <0935> in unto me; for

surely I


have hired <07936> thee with my son's <01121> mandrakes <01736>.

And


he lay <07901> with her that night <03915>.




 17  And God <0430> hearkened <08085> unto Leah <03812>, and she


conceived <02030>, and bare <03205> Jacob <03290> the fifth

<02549>


son <01121>.




 18  And Leah <03812> said <0559>, God <0430> hath given <05414>

me


my hire <07937>, because <0834> I have given <05414> my maiden


<08198> to my husband <0376>: and she called <07121> his name


<08034> Issachar <03485>.




 19  And Leah <03812> conceived <02030> again <05750>, and bare


<03205> Jacob <03290> the sixth <08345> son <01121>.




 20  And Leah <03812> said <0559>, God <0430> hath endued

<02064> me


[with] a good <02896> dowry <02065>; now <06471> will my husband


<0376> dwell <02082> with me, because <03588> I have born <03205>


him six <08337> sons <01121>: and she called <07121> his name


<08034> Zebulun <02074>.




 21  And afterwards <0310> she bare <03205> a daughter <01323>,

and


called <07121> her name <08034> Dinah <01783>.




 22  And God <0430> remembered <02142> Rachel <07354>, and God


<0430> hearkened <08085> to her, and opened <06605> her womb


<07358>.




 23  And she conceived <02030>, and bare <03205> a son <01121>;

and


said <0559>, God <0430> hath taken <0622> away my reproach

<02781>:




 24  And she called <07121> his name <08034> Joseph <03130>; and


said <0559>, The LORD <03068> shall add <03254> to me another

<0312>


son <01121>.




 25. And it came <01961> to pass, when <0834> Rachel <07354> had


born <03205> Joseph <03130>, that Jacob <03290> said <0559> unto


Laban <03837>, Send <07971> me away, that I may go <03212> unto

mine


own place <04725>, and to my country <0776>.




 26  Give <05414> [me] my wives <0802> and my children <03206>,

for


whom <0834> I have served <05647> thee, and let me go <03212>:

for


thou knowest <03045> my service <05656> which <0834> I have done


<05647> thee.




 27  And Laban <03837> said <0559> unto him, I pray <04994> thee,

 if


<0518> I have found <04672> favour <02580> in thine eyes <05869>,


[tarry: for] I have learned <05172> by experience <05172> that

the


LORD <03068> hath blessed <01288> me for thy sake <01558>.




 28  And he said <0559>, Appoint <05344> me thy wages <07939>,

and I


will give <05414> [it].




 29  And he said <0559> unto him, Thou knowest <03045> how I have


served <05647> thee, and how thy cattle <04735> was with me.




 30  For [it was] little <04592> which <0834> thou hadst before


<06440> I [came], and it is [now] increased <06555> unto a

multitude


<07230>; and the LORD <03068> hath blessed <01288> thee since my


coming <07272>: and now <06258> when <04970> shall I provide

<06213>


for mine own house <01004> also <01571>?




 31  And he said <0559>, What <04100> shall I give <05414> thee?

And


Jacob <03290> said <0559>, Thou shalt not give <05414> me any


<03972> thing <01697>: if <0518> thou wilt do <06213> this

<02088>


thing <01697> for me, I will again <07725> feed <07462> [and]

keep


<08104> thy flock <06629>:




 32  I will pass <05674> through all <03605> thy flock <06629> to


day <03117>, removing <05493> from thence <08033> all <03605> the


speckled <05348> and spotted <02921> cattle <07716>, and all

<03605>


the brown <02345> cattle <07716> among the sheep <03775>, and the


spotted <02921> and speckled <05348> among the goats <05795>: and


[of such] shall be my hire <07937>.




 33  So shall my righteousness <06666> answer <06030> for me in

time


<03117> to come <04279>, when <03588> it shall come <0935> for my


hire <07937> before thy face <06440>: every <03605> one <03605>

that


[is] not speckled <05348> and spotted <02921> among the goats


<05795>, and brown <02345> among the sheep <03775>, that shall be


counted stolen <01589> with me.




 34  And Laban <03837> said <0559>, Behold <02005>, I would

<03863>


it might be according to thy word <01697>.




 35  And he removed <05493> that day <03117> the he goats <08495>


that were ringstraked <06124> and spotted <02921>, and all

<03605>


the she goats <05795> that were speckled <05348> and spotted


<02921>, [and] every <03605> one that had [some] white <03836> in


it, and all <03605> the brown <02345> among the sheep <03775>,

and


gave <05414> [them] into the hand <03027> of his sons <01121>.




 36  And he set <07760> three <07969> days <03117>' journey

<01870>


betwixt <0996> himself and Jacob <03290>: and Jacob <03290> fed


<07462> the rest <03498> of Laban's <03837> flocks <06629>.




 37. And Jacob <03290> took <03947> him rods <04731> of green


<03892> poplar <03839>, and of the hazel <03869> and chesnut

<06196>


tree; and pilled <06478> white <03836> strakes <06479> in them,

and


made the white <03836> appear <04286> which <0834> [was] in the

rods


<04731>.




 38  And he set <03322> the rods <04731> which <0834> he had

pilled


<06478> before <05227> the flocks <06629> in the gutters <07298>

in


the watering <04325> troughs <08268> when <03588> the flocks

<06629>


came <0935> to drink <08354>, that they should conceive <03179>

when


they came <0935> to drink <08354>.




 39  And the flocks <06629> conceived <03179> before <0413> the

rods


<04731>, and brought <03205> forth <03209> cattle <06629>


ringstraked <06124>, speckled <05348>, and spotted <02921>.




 40  And Jacob <03290> did separate <06504> the lambs <03775>,

and


set <05414> the faces <06440> of the flocks <06629> toward <0413>


the ringstraked <06124>, and all <03605> the brown <02345> in the


flock <06629> of Laban <03837>; and he put <07896> his own flocks


<05739> by themselves <0905>, and put <07896> them not unto

Laban's


<03837> cattle <06629>.




 41  And it came <01961> to pass, whensoever <03605> the stronger


<07194> cattle <06629> did conceive <03179>, that Jacob <03290>

laid


<07760> the rods <04731> before the eyes <05869> of the cattle


<06629> in the gutters <07298>, that they might conceive <03179>


among the rods <04731>.




 42  But when the cattle <06629> were feeble <05848>, he put

<07760>


[them] not in: so the feebler <05848> were Laban's <03837>, and

the


stronger <07194> Jacob's <03290>.




 43  And the man <0376> increased <06555> exceedingly <03966>,

and


had <01961> much <07227> cattle <06629>, and maidservants

<08198>,


and menservants <05650>, and camels <01581>, and asses <02543>.




Genesis  31




 1. And he heard <08085> the words <01697> of Laban's <03837>

sons


<01121>, saying <0559>, Jacob <03290> hath taken <03947> away all


<03605> that [was] our father's <01>; and of [that] which <0834>


[was] our father's <01> hath he gotten <04069> all <03605> this


<02088> glory <03519>.




 2  And Jacob <03290> beheld <07200> the countenance <06440> of


Laban <03837>, and, behold <02009>, it [was] not toward him as


before.




 3  And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Jacob <03290>, Return


<07725> unto the land <0776> of thy fathers <01>, and to thy

kindred


<04138>; and I will be with thee.




 4  And Jacob <03290> sent <07971> and called <07121> Rachel

<07354>


and Leah <03812> to the field <07704> unto his flock <06629>,




 5  And said <0559> unto them, I see <07200> your father's <01>


countenance <06440>, that it [is] not toward me as before; but

the


God <0430> of my father <01> hath been <01961> with me.




 6  And ye know <03045> that with all <03605> my power <03581> I


have served <05647> your father <01>.




 7  And your father <01> hath deceived <02048> me, and changed


<02498> my wages <04909> ten <06235> times <04489>; but God

<0430>


suffered <05414> him not to hurt <07489> me.




 8  If <0518> he said <0559> thus <03541>, The speckled <05348>


shall be thy wages <07939>; then all <03605> the cattle <06629>

bare


<03205> speckled <05348>: and if <0518> he said <0559> thus

<03541>,


The ringstraked <06124> shall be thy hire <07937>; then bare

<03205>


all <03605> the cattle <06629> ringstraked <06124>.




 9  Thus God <0430> hath taken <05337> away the cattle <04735> of


your father <01>, and given <05414> [them] to me.




 10  And it came <01961> to pass at the time <06256> that the

cattle


<06629> conceived <03179>, that I lifted <05375> up mine eyes


<05869>, and saw <07200> in a dream <02472>, and, behold <02009>,


the rams <06260> which leaped <05927> upon the cattle <06629>

[were]


ringstraked <06124>, speckled <05348>, and grisled <01261>.




 11  And the angel <04397> of God <0430> spake <0559> unto me in

a


dream <02472>, [saying], Jacob <03290>: And I said <0559>, Here


<02009> [am] I.




 12  And he said <0559>, Lift <05375> up now <04994> thine eyes


<05869>, and see <07200>, all <03605> the rams <06260> which leap


<05927> upon the cattle <06629> [are] ringstraked <06124>,

speckled


<05348>, and grisled <01261>: for I have seen <07200> all <03605>


that Laban <03837> doeth <06213> unto thee.




 13  I [am] the God <0410> of Bethel <01008>, where <0834> thou


anointedst <04886> the pillar <04676>, [and] where <0834> thou


vowedst <05087> a vow <05088> unto me: now <06258> arise <06965>,


get <03318> thee out from this <02063> land <0776>, and return


<07725> unto the land <0776> of thy kindred <04138>.




 14  And Rachel <07354> and Leah <03812> answered <06030> and

said


<0559> unto him, [Is there] yet <05750> any portion <02506> or


inheritance <05159> for us in our father's <01> house <01004>?




 15  Are we not counted <02803> of him strangers <05237>? for he


hath sold <04376> us, and hath quite devoured <0398> also <01571>


our money <03701>.




 16  For all <03605> the riches <06239> which <0834> God <0430>

hath


taken <05337> from our father <01>, that [is] ours, and our


children's <01121>: now <06258> then, whatsoever God <0430> hath


said <0559> unto thee, do <06213>.




 17. Then Jacob <03290> rose <06965> up, and set <05375> his sons


<01121> and his wives <0802> upon camels <01581>;




 18  And he carried <05090> away all <03605> his cattle <04735>,

and


all <03605> his goods <07399> which <0834> he had gotten <07408>,


the cattle <04735> of his getting <07075>, which <0834> he had


gotten <07408> in Padanaram <06307>, for to go <0935> to Isaac


<03327> his father <01> in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>.




 19  And Laban <03837> went <01980> to shear <01494> his sheep


<06629>: and Rachel <07354> had stolen <01589> the images <08655>


that [were] her father's <01>.




 20  And Jacob <03290> stole <01589> away unawares to Laban

<03837>


the Syrian <0761>, in that he told <05046> him not that he fled


<01272>.




 21  So he fled <01272> with all <03605> that he had; and he rose


<06965> up, and passed <05674> over <05674> the river <05104>,

and


set <07760> his face <06440> [toward] the mount <02022> Gilead


<01568>.




 22  And it was told <05046> Laban <03837> on the third <07992>

day


<03117> that Jacob <03290> was fled <01272>.




 23  And he took <03947> his brethren <0251> with him, and

pursued


<07291> after <0310> him seven <07651> days <03117>' journey


<01870>; and they overtook <01692> him in the mount <02022>

Gilead


<01568>.




 24  And God <0430> came <0935> to Laban <03837> the Syrian

<0761>


in a dream <02472> by night <03915>, and said <0559> unto him,

Take


heed <08104> that thou speak <01696> not to Jacob <03290> either


good <02896> or <05704> bad <07451>.




 25. Then Laban <03837> overtook <05381> Jacob <03290>. Now Jacob


<03290> had pitched <08628> his tent <0168> in the mount <02022>:


and Laban <03837> with his brethren <0251> pitched <08628> in the


mount <02022> of Gilead <01568>.




 26  And Laban <03837> said <0559> to Jacob <03290>, What <04100>


hast thou done <06213>, that thou hast stolen <01589> away

unawares


to me, and carried <05090> away my daughters <01363>, as captives


<07617> [taken] with the sword <02719>?




 27  Wherefore <04100> didst thou flee <01272> away secretly


<02244>, and steal <01589> away from me; and didst not tell

<05046>


me, that I might have sent <07971> thee away with mirth <08057>,

and


with songs <07892>, with tabret <08596>, and with harp <03658>?




 28  And hast not suffered <05203> me to kiss <05401> my sons


<01121> and my daughters <01363>? thou hast now <06258> done


foolishly <05528> in [so] doing <06213>.




 29  It is in the power <0410> of my hand <03027> to do <06213>

you


hurt <07451>: but the God <0430> of your father <01> spake <0559>


unto me yesternight <0570>, saying <0559>, Take thou heed <08104>


that thou speak <01696> not to Jacob <03290> either good <02896>

or


<05704> bad <07451>.




 30  And now <06258>, [though] thou wouldest needs be gone

<01980>,


because <03588> thou sore longedst <03700> after thy father's

<01>


house <01004>, [yet] wherefore <04100> hast thou stolen <01589>

my


gods <0430>?




 31  And Jacob <03290> answered <06030> and said <0559> to Laban


<03837>, Because <03588> I was afraid <03372>: for I said <0559>,


Peradventure <06435> thou wouldest take <01497> by force <01497>

thy


daughters <01363> from me.




 32  With whomsoever <0834> thou findest <04672> thy gods <0430>,


let him not live <02421>: before <05048> our brethren <0251>

discern


<05234> thou what <04100> [is] thine with me, and take <03947>

[it]


to thee. For Jacob <03290> knew <03045> not that Rachel <07354>

had


stolen <01589> them.




 33  And Laban <03837> went <0935> into Jacob's <03290> tent

<0168>,


and into Leah's <03812> tent <0168>, and into the two <08147>


maidservants <0519>' tents <0168>; but he found <04672> [them]

not.


Then went <03318> he out of Leah's <03812> tent <0168>, and

entered


<0935> into Rachel's <07354> tent <0168>.




 34  Now Rachel <07354> had taken <03947> the images <08655>, and


put <07760> them in the camel's <01581> furniture <03733>, and

sat


<03427> upon them. And Laban <03837> searched <04959> all <03605>


the tent <0168>, but found <04672> [them] not.




 35  And she said <0559> to her father <01>, Let it not displease


<02734> my lord <0113> that I cannot rise <06965> up before

<06440>


thee; for the custom <01870> of women <0802> [is] upon me. And he


searched <02664>, but found <04672> not the images <08655>.




 36. And Jacob <03290> was wroth <02734>, and chode <07378> with


Laban <03837>: and Jacob <03290> answered <06030> and said

<0559> to


Laban <03837>, What <04100> [is] my trespass <06588>? what

<04100>


[is] my sin <02403>, that thou hast so hotly <01814> pursued

<01814>


after <0310> me?




 37  Whereas <03588> thou hast searched <04959> all <03605> my

stuff


<03627>, what <04100> hast thou found <04672> of all <03605> thy


household <01004> stuff <03627>? set <07760> [it] here <03541>


before <05048> my brethren <0251> and thy brethren <0251>, that

they


may judge <03198> betwixt <0996> us both <08147>.




 38  This <02088> twenty <06242> years <08141> [have] I [been]

with


thee; thy ewes <07353> and thy she goats <05795> have not cast


<07921> their young, and the rams <0352> of thy flock <06629>

have I


not eaten <0398>.




 39  That which was torn <02966> [of beasts <02966>] I brought


<0935> not unto thee; I bare <02308> the loss <02398> of it; of

my


hand <03027> didst thou require <01245> it, [whether] stolen

<01589>


by day <03117>, or stolen <01589> by night <03915>.




 40  [Thus] I was; in the day <03117> the drought <02721>

consumed


<0398> me, and the frost <07140> by night <03915>; and my sleep


<08142> departed <05074> from mine eyes <05869>.




 41  Thus <02088> have I been twenty <06242> years <08141> in thy


house <01004>; I served <05647> thee fourteen years <08141> for

thy


two <08147> daughters <01363>, and six <08337> years <08141> for

thy


cattle <06629>: and thou hast changed <02498> my wages <04909>

ten


<06235> times <04489>.




 42  Except <03884> the God <0430> of my father <01>, the God

<0430>


of Abraham <085>, and the fear <06343> of Isaac <03327>, had been


<01961> with me, surely <03588> thou hadst sent <07971> me away

now


<06258> empty <07387>. God <0430> hath seen <07200> mine

affliction


<06040> and the labour <03018> of my hands <03709>, and rebuked


<03198> [thee] yesternight <0570>.




 43. And Laban <03837> answered <06030> and said <0559> unto

Jacob


<03290>, [These] daughters <01363> [are] my daughters <01363>,

and


[these] children <01121> [are] my children <01121>, and [these]


cattle <06629> [are] my cattle <06629>, and all <03605> that thou


seest <07200> [is] mine: and what <04100> can I do <06213> this

day


<03117> unto these my daughters <01363>, or <0176> unto their


children <01121> which <0834> they have born <03205>?




 44  Now <06258> therefore come <03212> thou, let us make

<03772> a


covenant <01285>, I and thou; and let it be for a witness <05707>


between <0996> me and thee.




 45  And Jacob <03290> took <03947> a stone <068>, and set

<07311>


it up [for] a pillar <04676>.




 46  And Jacob <03290> said <0559> unto his brethren <0251>,

Gather


<03950> stones <068>; and they took <03947> stones <068>, and

made


<06213> an heap <01530>: and they did eat <0398> there <08033>

upon


the heap <01530>.




 47  And Laban <03837> called <07121> it Jegarsahadutha <03026>:

but


Jacob <03290> called <07121> it Galeed <01567>.




 48  And Laban <03837> said <0559>, This <02088> heap <01530>

[is] a


witness <05707> between <0996> me and thee this day <03117>.


Therefore was the name <08034> of it called <07121> Galeed

<01567>;




 49  And Mizpah <04709>; for he said <0559>, The LORD <03068>

watch


<06822> between <0996> me and thee, when <03588> we are absent


<05641> one <0376> from another <07453>.




 50  If <0518> thou shalt afflict <06031> my daughters <01363>,

or


if <0518> thou shalt take <03947> [other] wives <0802> beside


<05921> my daughters <01363>, no <03808> man <0376> [is] with us;


see <07200>, God <0430> [is] witness <05707> betwixt <0996> me

and


thee.




 51  And Laban <03837> said <0559> to Jacob <03290>, Behold

<02009>


this <02088> heap <01530>, and behold <02009> [this] pillar

<04676>,


which <0834> I have cast <03384> betwixt <0996> me and thee;




 52  This <02088> heap <01530> [be] witness <05707>, and [this


<02088>] pillar <04676> [be] witness <05711>, that I will not

pass


<05674> over <05674> this <02088> heap <01530> to thee, and that


thou shalt not pass <05674> over <05674> this <02088> heap

<01530>


and this <02063> pillar <04676> unto me, for harm <07451>.




 53  The God <0430> of Abraham <085>, and the God <0430> of Nahor


<05152>, the God <0430> of their father <01>, judge <08199>

betwixt


<0996> us. And Jacob <03290> sware <07650> by the fear <06343> of


his father <01> Isaac <03327>.




 54  Then Jacob <03290> offered <02076> sacrifice <02077> upon

the


mount <02022>, and called <07121> his brethren <0251> to eat

<0398>


bread <03899>: and they did eat <0398> bread <03899>, and tarried


<03885> all <03885> night in the mount <02022>.




 55  And early <07925> in the morning <01242> Laban <03837> rose


<07925> up, and kissed <05401> his sons <01121> and his daughters


<01363>, and blessed <01288> them: and Laban <03837> departed


<03212>, and returned <07725> unto his place <04725>.




Genesis  32




 1. And Jacob <03290> went <01980> on his way <01870>, and the


angels <04397> of God <0430> met <06293> him.




 2  And when <0834> Jacob <03290> saw <07200> them, he said

<0559>,


This <02088> [is] God's <0430> host <04264>: and he called

<07121>


the name <08034> of that place <04725> Mahanaim <04266>.




 3. And Jacob <03290> sent <07971> messengers <04397> before

<06440>


him to Esau <06215> his brother <0251> unto the land <0776> of

Seir


<08165>, the country <07704> of Edom <0123>.




 4  And he commanded <06680> them, saying <0559>, Thus <03541>

shall


ye speak <0559> unto my lord <0113> Esau <06215>; Thy servant


<05650> Jacob <03290> saith <0559> thus <03541>, I have sojourned


<01481> with Laban <03837>, and stayed <0309> there until <05704>


now <06258>:




 5  And I have <01961> oxen <07794>, and asses <02543>, flocks


<06629>, and menservants <05650>, and womenservants <08198>: and

I


have <01961> sent <07971> to tell <05046> my lord <0113>, that I

may


find <04672> grace <02580> in thy sight <05869>.




 6  And the messengers <04397> returned <07725> to Jacob <03290>,


saying <0559>, We came <0935> to thy brother <0251> Esau <06215>,


and also <01571> he cometh <01980> to meet <07125> thee, and four


<0702> hundred <03967> men <0376> with him.




 7  Then Jacob <03290> was greatly <03966> afraid <03372> and


distressed <03334>: and he divided <02673> the people <05971>

that


[was] with him, and the flocks <06629>, and herds <01241>, and

the


camels <01581>, into two <08147> bands <04264>;




 8  And said <0559>, If <0518> Esau <06215> come <0935> to the

one


<0259> company <04264>, and smite <05221> it, then the other

company


<04264> which is left <07604> shall escape <06413>.




 9. And Jacob <03290> said <0559>, O God <0430> of my father <01>


Abraham <085>, and God <0430> of my father <01> Isaac <03327>,

the


LORD <03068> which saidst <0559> unto me, Return <07725> unto thy


country <0776>, and to thy kindred <04138>, and I will deal well


<03190> with thee:




 10  I am not worthy <06994> of the least <06994> of all <03605>

the


mercies <02617>, and of all <03605> the truth <0571>, which

<0834>


thou hast shewed <06213> unto thy servant <05650>; for with my

staff


<04731> I passed <05674> over <05674> this <02088> Jordan

<03383>;


and now <06258> I am become <01961> two <08147> bands <04264>.




 11  Deliver <05337> me, I pray <04994> thee, from the hand

<03027>


of my brother <0251>, from the hand <03027> of Esau <06215>: for

I


fear <03373> him, lest <06435> he will come <0935> and smite

<05221>


me, [and] the mother <0517> with the children <01121>.




 12  And thou saidst <0559>, I will surely do thee good <03190>,

and


make <07760> thy seed <02233> as the sand <02344> of the sea


<03220>, which <0834> cannot <03808> be numbered <05608> for


multitude <07230>.




 13. And he lodged <03885> there <08033> that same <01931> night


<03915>; and took <03947> of that which came <0935> to his hand


<03027> a present <04503> for Esau <06215> his brother <0251>;




 14  Two hundred <03967> she goats <05795>, and twenty <06242> he


goats <08495>, two hundred <03967> ewes <07353>, and twenty

<06242>


rams <0352>,




 15  Thirty <07970> milch <03243> camels <01581> with their colts


<01121>, forty <0705> kine <06510>, and ten <06235> bulls

<06499>,


twenty <06242> she asses <0860>, and ten <06235> foals <05895>.




 16  And he delivered <05414> [them] into the hand <03027> of his


servants <05650>, every drove <05739> by themselves <0905>; and

said


<0559> unto his servants <05650>, Pass <05674> over <05674>

before


<06440> me, and put <07760> a space <07305> betwixt <0996> drove


<05739> and drove <05739>.




 17  And he commanded <06680> the foremost <07223>, saying

<0559>,


When <03588> Esau <06215> my brother <0251> meeteth <06298> thee,


and asketh <07592> thee, saying <0559>, Whose <04310> [art] thou?


and whither <0575> goest <03212> thou? and whose <04310> [are]

these


<0428> before <06440> thee?




 18  Then thou shalt say <0559>, [They be] thy servant <05650>


Jacob's <03290>; it [is] a present <04503> sent <07971> unto my

lord


<0113> Esau <06215>: and, behold <02009>, also <01571> he [is]


behind <0310> us.




 19  And so <01571> commanded <06680> he the second <08145>, and

the


third <07992>, and all <03605> that followed the droves <05739>,


saying <0559>, On this <02088> manner <01697> shall ye speak

<01696>


unto Esau <06215>, when ye find <04672> him.




 20  And say <0559> ye moreover <01571>, Behold <02009>, thy

servant


<05650> Jacob <03290> [is] behind <0310> us. For he said <0559>,

I


will appease <06440> him with the present <04503> that goeth

<01980>


before <06440> me, and afterward I will see <07200> his face


<06440>; peradventure <0194> he will accept <05375> of me.




 21  So went <05674> the present <04503> over <05674> before him:


and himself <01931> lodged <03885> that night <03915> in the

company


<04264>.




 22  And he rose <06965> up that night <03915>, and took <03947>

his


two <08147> wives <0802>, and his two <08147> womenservants

<08198>,


and his eleven sons <03206>, and passed <05674> over <05674> the


ford <04569> Jabbok <02999>.




 23  And he took <03947> them, and sent <05674> them over <05674>


the brook <05158>, and sent <05674> over <05674> that he had.




 24. And Jacob <03290> was left <03498> alone <0905>; and there


wrestled <079> a man <0376> with him until <05704> the breaking


<05927> of the day <07837>.




 25  And when he saw <07200> that he prevailed <03201> not

against


him, he touched <05060> the hollow <03709> of his thigh <03409>;

and


the hollow <03709> of Jacob's <03290> thigh <03409> was out of

joint


<03363>, as he wrestled <079> with him.




 26  And he said <0559>, Let me go <07971>, for the day <07837>


breaketh <05927>. And he said <0559>, I will not let thee go


<07971>, except thou bless <01288> me.




 27  And he said <0559> unto him, What <04100> [is] thy name


<08034>? And he said <0559>, Jacob <03290>.




 28  And he said <0559>, Thy name <08034> shall be called <0559>

no


<03808> more <05750> Jacob <03290>, but Israel <03478>: for as a


prince hast thou power <08280> with God <0430> and with men

<0582>,


and hast prevailed <03201>.




 29  And Jacob <03290> asked <07592> [him], and said <0559>, Tell


<05046> [me], I pray <04994> thee, thy name <08034>. And he said


<0559>, Wherefore <04100> [is] it [that] thou dost ask <07592>

after


my name <08034>? And he blessed <01288> him there <08033>.




 30  And Jacob <03290> called <07121> the name <08034> of the

place


<04725> Peniel <06439>: for I have seen <07200> God <0430> face


<06440> to face <06440>, and my life <05315> is preserved

<05337>.




 31  And as he passed <05674> over <05674> Penuel <06439> the sun


<08121> rose <02224> upon him, and he halted <06761> upon his

thigh


<03409>.




 32  Therefore the children <01121> of Israel <03478> eat <0398>

not


[of] the sinew <01517> which shrank <05384>, which <0834> [is]

upon


the hollow <03709> of the thigh <03409>, unto this <02088> day


<03117>: because <03588> he touched <05060> the hollow <03709> of


Jacob's <03290> thigh <03409> in the sinew <01517> that shrank


<05384>.




Genesis  33




 1. And Jacob <03290> lifted <05375> up his eyes <05869>, and

looked


<07200>, and, behold <02009>, Esau <06215> came <0935>, and with

him


four <0702> hundred <03967> men <0376>. And he divided <02673>

the


children <03206> unto Leah <03812>, and unto Rachel <07354>, and


unto the two <08147> handmaids <08198>.




 2  And he put <07760> the handmaids <08198> and their children


<03206> foremost <07223>, and Leah <03812> and her children

<03206>


after <0314>, and Rachel <07354> and Joseph <03130> hindermost


<0314>.




 3  And he passed <05674> over <05674> before <06440> them, and


bowed <07812> himself to the ground <0776> seven <07651> times


<06471>, until <05704> he came <05066> near <05066> to his

brother


<0251>.




 4  And Esau <06215> ran <07323> to meet <07125> him, and

embraced


<02263> him, and fell <05307> on <05921> his neck <06677>, and


kissed <05401> him: and they wept <01058>.




 5. And he lifted <05375> up his eyes <05869>, and saw <07200>

the


women <0802> and the children <03206>; and said <0559>, Who

<04310>


[are] those <0428> with thee? And he said <0559>, The children


<03206> which <0834> God <0430> hath graciously <02603> given


<02603> thy servant <05650>.




 6  Then the handmaidens <08198> came <05066> near <05066>, they

and


their children <03206>, and they bowed <07812> themselves.




 7  And Leah <03812> also <01571> with her children <03206> came


<05066> near <05066>, and bowed <07812> themselves: and after

<0310>


came <05066> Joseph <03130> near <05066> and Rachel <07354>, and


they bowed <07812> themselves.




 8  And he said <0559>, What <04310> [meanest] thou by all

<03605>


this <02088> drove <04264> which <0834> I met <06298>? And he

said


<0559>, [These are] to find <04672> grace <02580> in the sight


<05869> of my lord <0113>.




 9  And Esau <06215> said <0559>, I have <03426> enough <07227>,

my


brother <0251>; keep <01961> that thou hast unto thyself.




 10  And Jacob <03290> said <0559>, Nay <0408>, I pray <04994>

thee,


if <0518> now <04994> I have found <04672> grace <02580> in thy


sight <05869>, then receive <03947> my present <04503> at my hand


<03027>: for therefore I have seen <07200> thy face <06440>, as


though I had seen <07200> the face <06440> of God <0430>, and

thou


wast pleased <07521> with me.




 11  Take <03947>, I pray <04994> thee, my blessing <01293> that

is


brought <0935> to thee; because <03588> God <0430> hath dealt


graciously <02603> with me, and because <03588> I have <03426>


enough <03605>. And he urged <06484> him, and he took <03947>

[it].




 12  And he said <0559>, Let us take our journey <05265>, and

let us


go <03212>, and I will go <03212> before <05048> thee.




 13  And he said <0559> unto him, My lord <0113> knoweth <03045>


that the children <03206> [are] tender <07390>, and the flocks


<06629> and herds <01241> with young <05763> [are] with me: and

if


<0518> men should overdrive <01849> them one <0259> day <03117>,

all


<03605> the flock <06629> will die <04191>.




 14  Let my lord <0113>, I pray <04994> thee, pass <05674> over


<05674> before <06440> his servant <05650>: and I will lead

<05095>


on softly <0328>, according <07272> as the cattle <04399> that

goeth


before <06440> me and the children <03206> be able <07272> to

endure


<07272>, until <05704> I come <0935> unto my lord <0113> unto

Seir


<08165>.




 15  And Esau <06215> said <0559>, Let me now <04994> leave

<03322>


with thee [some] of the folk <05971> that [are] with me. And he

said


<0559>, What <04100> needeth it? let me find <04672> grace

<02580>


in the sight <05869> of my lord <0113>.




 16. So Esau <06215> returned <07725> that day <03117> on his way


<01870> unto Seir <08165>.




 17  And Jacob <03290> journeyed <05265> to Succoth <05523>, and


built <01129> him an house <01004>, and made <06213> booths

<05521>


for his cattle <04735>: therefore the name <08034> of the place


<04725> is called <07121> Succoth <05523>.




 18  And Jacob <03290> came <0935> to Shalem <08003>, a city

<05892>


of Shechem <07927>, which <0834> [is] in the land <0776> of

Canaan


<03667>, when he came <0935> from Padanaram <06307>; and pitched


<02583> his tent before the city <05892>.




 19  And he bought <07069> a parcel <02513> of a field <07704>,


where <0834> he had spread <05186> his tent <0168>, at the hand


<03027> of the children <01121> of Hamor <02544>, Shechem's

<07927>


father <01>, for an hundred <03967> pieces of money <07192>.




 20  And he erected <05324> there <08033> an altar <04196>, and


called <07121> it Eleloheisrael <0415>.




Genesis  34




 1. And Dinah <01783> the daughter <01323> of Leah <03812>, which


<0834> she bare <03205> unto Jacob <03290>, went <03318> out to

see


<07200> the daughters <01363> of the land <0776>.




 2  And when Shechem <07927> the son <01121> of Hamor <02544> the


Hivite <02340>, prince <05387> of the country <0776>, saw <07200>


her, he took <03947> her, and lay <07901> with her, and defiled


<06031> her.




 3  And his soul <05315> clave <01692> unto Dinah <01783> the


daughter <01323> of Jacob <03290>, and he loved <0157> the damsel


<05291>, and spake <01696> kindly unto the damsel <05291>.




 4  And Shechem <07927> spake <0559> unto his father <01> Hamor


<02544>, saying <0559>, Get <03947> me this <02063> damsel

<03207>


to wife <0802>.




 5  And Jacob <03290> heard <08085> that he had defiled <02930>


Dinah <01783> his daughter <01323>: now his sons <01121> were

with


his cattle <04735> in the field <07704>: and Jacob <03290> held


<02790> his peace <02790> until <05704> they were come <0935>.




 6. And Hamor <02544> the father <01> of Shechem <07927> went


<03318> out unto Jacob <03290> to commune <01696> with him.




 7  And the sons <01121> of Jacob <03290> came <0935> out of the


field <07704> when they heard <08085> [it]: and the men <0582>

were


grieved <06087>, and they were very <03966> wroth <02734>,

because


<03588> he had wrought <06213> folly <05039> in Israel <03478> in


lying <07901> with Jacob's <03290> daughter <01323>; which

<03651>


thing <03651> ought not to be done <06213>.




 8  And Hamor <02544> communed <01696> with them, saying <0559>,

The


soul <05315> of my son <01121> Shechem <07927> longeth <02836>

for


your daughter <01323>: I pray <04994> you give <05414> her him to


wife <0802>.




 9  And make ye marriages <02859> with us, [and] give <05414>

your


daughters <01363> unto us, and take <03947> our daughters <01363>


unto you.




 10  And ye shall dwell <03427> with us: and the land <0776>

shall


be before <06440> you; dwell <03427> and trade <05503> ye

therein,


and get you possessions <0270> therein.




 11  And Shechem <07927> said <0559> unto her father <01> and

unto


her brethren <0251>, Let me find <04672> grace <02580> in your

eyes


<05869>, and what <0834> ye shall say <0559> unto me I will give


<05414>.




 12  Ask me never so much dowry <04119> and gift <04976>, and I

will


give <05414> according as ye shall say <0559> unto me: but give


<05414> me the damsel <05291> to wife <0802>.




 13  And the sons <01121> of Jacob <03290> answered <06030>

Shechem


<07927> and Hamor <02544> his father <01> deceitfully <04820>,

and


said <01696>, because <0834> he had defiled <02930> Dinah <01783>


their sister <0269>:




 14  And they said <0559> unto them, We cannot do <06213> this


<02088> thing <01697>, to give <05414> our sister <0269> to one


<0376> that is uncircumcised <06190>; for that [were] a reproach


<02781> unto us:




 15  But in this <02063> will we consent <0225> unto you: If

<0518>


ye will be as we [be], that every <03605> male <02145> of you be


circumcised <04135>;




 16  Then will we give <05414> our daughters <01363> unto you,

and


we will take <03947> your daughters <01363> to us, and we will

dwell


<03427> with you, and we will become <01961> one <0259> people


<05971>.




 17  But if <0518> ye will not hearken <08085> unto us, to be


circumcised <04135>; then will we take <03947> our daughter

<01323>,


and we will be gone <01980>.




 18. And their words <01697> pleased Hamor <02544>, and Shechem


<07927> Hamor's <02544> son <01121>.




 19  And the young <05288> man deferred <0309> not to do <06213>

the


thing <01697>, because <03588> he had delight <02654> in Jacob's


<03290> daughter <01323>: and he [was] more <03513> honourable


<03513> than all <03605> the house <01004> of his father <01>.




 20  And Hamor <02544> and Shechem <07927> his son <01121> came


<0935> unto the gate <08179> of their city <05892>, and communed


<01696> with the men <0582> of their city <05892>, saying <0559>,




 21  These <0428> men <0582> [are] peaceable <08003> with us;


therefore let them dwell <03427> in the land <0776>, and trade


<05503> therein; for the land <0776>, behold <02009>, [it is]

large


<07342> enough <03027> for them; let us take <03947> their

daughters


<01363> to us for wives <0802>, and let us give <05414> them our


daughters <01363>.




 22  Only <0389> herein <02063> will the men <0582> consent

<0225>


unto us for to dwell <03427> with us, to be one <0259> people


<05971>, if <0518> every <03605> male <02145> among us be


circumcised <04135>, as they [are] circumcised <04135>.




 23  [Shall] not their cattle <04735> and their substance <07075>


and every <03605> beast <0929> of theirs [be] ours? only <0389>

let


us consent <0225> unto them, and they will dwell <03427> with us.




 24  And unto Hamor <02544> and unto Shechem <07927> his son

<01121>


hearkened <08085> all <03605> that went <03318> out of the gate


<08179> of his city <05892>; and every <03605> male <02145> was


circumcised <04135>, all <03605> that went <03318> out of the

gate


<08179> of his city <05892>.




 25. And it came <01961> to pass on the third <07992> day

<03117>,


when they were sore <03510>, that two <08147> of the sons

<01121> of


Jacob <03290>, Simeon <08095> and Levi <03878>, Dinah's <01783>


brethren <0251>, took <03947> each man <0376> his sword <02719>,

and


came <0935> upon the city <05892> boldly <0983>, and slew <02026>


all <03605> the males <02145>.




 26  And they slew <02026> Hamor <02544> and Shechem <07927> his

son


<01121> with the edge <06310> of the sword <02719>, and took

<03947>


Dinah <01783> out of Shechem's <07927> house <01004>, and went


<03318> out.




 27  The sons <01121> of Jacob <03290> came <0935> upon the slain


<02491>, and spoiled <0962> the city <05892>, because <0834> they


had defiled <02930> their sister <0269>.




 28  They took <03947> their sheep <06629>, and their oxen

<01241>,


and their asses <02543>, and that which <0834> [was] in the city


<05892>, and that which <0834> [was] in the field <07704>,




 29  And all <03605> their wealth <02428>, and all <03605> their


little <02945> ones, and their wives <0802> took they captive


<07617>, and spoiled <0962> even all <03605> that [was] in the

house


<01004>.




 30  And Jacob <03290> said <0559> to Simeon <08095> and Levi


<03878>, Ye have troubled <05916> me to make me to stink <0887>


among the inhabitants <03427> of the land <0776>, among the


Canaanites <03669> and the Perizzites <06522>: and I [being] few


<04962> in number <04557>, they shall gather <0622> themselves


together against <05921> me, and slay <05221> me; and I shall be


destroyed <08045>, I and my house <01004>.




 31  And they said <0559>, Should he deal <06213> with our sister


<0269> as with an harlot <02181>?




Genesis  35




 1. And God <0430> said <0559> unto Jacob <03290>, Arise <06965>,

 go


<05927> up to Bethel <01008>, and dwell <03427> there <08033>:

and


make <06213> there <08033> an altar <04196> unto God <0410>, that


appeared <07200> unto thee when thou fleddest <01272> from the

face


<06440> of Esau <06215> thy brother <0251>.




 2  Then Jacob <03290> said <0559> unto his household <01004>,

and


to all <03605> that [were] with him, Put <05493> away the strange


<05236> gods <0430> that [are] among <08432> you, and be clean


<02891>, and change <02498> your garments <08071>:




 3  And let us arise <06965>, and go <05927> up to Bethel

<01008>;


and I will make <06213> there <08033> an altar <04196> unto God


<0410>, who answered <06030> me in the day <03117> of my distress


<06869>, and was with me in the way <01870> which <0834> I went


<01980>.




 4  And they gave <05414> unto Jacob <03290> all <03605> the

strange


<05236> gods <0430> which <0834> [were] in their hand <03027>,

and


[all their] earrings <05141> which <0834> [were] in their ears


<0241>; and Jacob <03290> hid <02934> them under <08478> the oak


<0424> which <0834> [was] by Shechem <07927>.




 5  And they journeyed <05265>: and the terror <02847> of God

<0430>


was upon the cities <05892> that [were] round <05439> about them,


and they did not pursue <07291> after <0310> the sons <01121> of


Jacob <03290>.




 6. So Jacob <03290> came <0935> to Luz <03870>, which <0834>

[is]


in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, that [is], Bethel <01008>,

he


and all <03605> the people <05971> that [were] with him.




 7  And he built <01129> there <08033> an altar <04196>, and

called


<07121> the place <04725> Elbethel <0416>: because <03588> there


<08033> God <0430> appeared <01540> unto him, when he fled

<01272>


from the face <06440> of his brother <0251>.




 8  But Deborah <01683> Rebekah's <07259> nurse <03243> died


<04191>, and she was buried <06912> beneath <08478> Bethel

<01008>


under <08478> an oak <0437>: and the name <08034> of it was

called


<07121> Allonbachuth <0439>.




 9  And God <0430> appeared <07200> unto Jacob <03290> again


<05750>, when he came <0935> out of Padanaram <06307>, and

blessed


<01288> him.




 10  And God <0430> said <0559> unto him, Thy name <08034> [is]


Jacob <03290>: thy name <08034> shall not be called <07121> any


<05750> more <05750> Jacob <03290>, but Israel <03478> shall be

thy


name <08034>: and he called <07121> his name <08034> Israel

<03478>.




 11  And God <0430> said <0559> unto him, I [am] God <0410>

Almighty


<07706>: be fruitful <06509> and multiply <07235>; a nation

<01471>


and a company <06951> of nations <01471> shall be of thee, and

kings


<04428> shall come <03318> out of thy loins <02504>;




 12  And the land <0776> which <0834> I gave <05414> Abraham

<085>


and Isaac <03327>, to thee I will give <05414> it, and to thy

seed


<02233> after <0310> thee will I give <05414> the land <0776>.




 13  And God <0430> went <05927> up from him in the place <04725>


where <0834> he talked <01696> with him.




 14  And Jacob <03290> set <05324> up a pillar <04676> in the

place


<04725> where <0834> he talked <01696> with him, [even] a pillar


<04678> of stone <068>: and he poured <05258> a drink <05262>


offering thereon <05921>, and he poured <03332> oil <08081>

thereon


<05921>.




 15  And Jacob <03290> called <07121> the name <08034> of the

place


<04725> where <0834> God <0430> spake <01696> with him, Bethel


<01008>.




 16. And they journeyed <05265> from Bethel <01008>; and there

was


but a little <03530> way <0776> to come <0935> to Ephrath <0672>:


and Rachel <07354> travailed <03205>, and she had hard <07185>


labour <03205>.




 17  And it came <0935> to pass, when she was in hard <07185>

labour


<03205>, that the midwife <03205> said <0559> unto her, Fear

<03372>


not; thou shalt have this <02088> son <01121> also <01571>.




 18  And it came <0935> to pass, as her soul <05315> was in


departing <03318>, (for she died <04191>) that she called <07121>


his name <08034> Benoni <01126>: but his father <01> called

<07121>


him Benjamin <01144>.




 19  And Rachel <07354> died <04191>, and was buried <06912> in

the


way <01870> to Ephrath <0672>, which <01958> [is] Bethlehem

<01035>.




 20  And Jacob <03290> set <05324> a pillar <04676> upon her

grave


<06900>: that [is] the pillar <04678> of Rachel's <07354> grave


<06900> unto this day <03117>.




 21. And Israel <03478> journeyed <05265>, and spread <05186> his


tent <0168> beyond <01973> the tower <04026> of Edar <05740>.




 22  And it came <01961> to pass, when Israel <03478> dwelt

<07931>


in that land <0776>, that Reuben <07205> went <03212> and lay


<07901> with Bilhah <01090> his father's <01> concubine <06370>:

and


Israel <03478> heard <08085> [it]. Now the sons <01121> of Jacob


<03290> were twelve:




 23  The sons <01121> of Leah <03812>; Reuben <07205>, Jacob's


<03290> firstborn <01060>, and Simeon <08095>, and Levi <03878>,

and


Judah <03063>, and Issachar <03485>, and Zebulun <02074>:




 24  The sons <01121> of Rachel <07354>; Joseph <03130>, and


Benjamin <01144>:




 25  And the sons <01121> of Bilhah <01090>, Rachel's <07354>


handmaid <08198>; Dan <01835>, and Naphtali <05321>:




 26  And the sons <01121> of Zilpah <02153>, Leah's <03812>

handmaid


<08198>; Gad <01410>, and Asher <0836>: these <0428> [are] the

sons


<01121> of Jacob <03290>, which <0834> were born <03205> to him

in


Padanaram <06307>.




 27  And Jacob <03290> came <0935> unto Isaac <03327> his father


<01> unto Mamre <04471>, unto the city <07151> of Arbah <0704>,


which <0834> [is] Hebron <02275>, where <0834> Abraham <085> and


Isaac <03327> sojourned <01481>.




 28  And the days <03117> of Isaac <03327> were an hundred

<03967>


and fourscore <08084> years <08141>.




 29  And Isaac <03327> gave up the ghost <01478>, and died

<04191>,


and was gathered <0622> unto his people <05971>, [being] old

<02205>


and full <07649> of days <03117>: and his sons <01121> Esau

<06215>


and Jacob <03290> buried <06912> him.




Genesis  36




 1. Now these <0428> [are] the generations <08435> of Esau

<06215>,


who <01931> [is] Edom <0123>.




 2  Esau <06215> took <03947> his wives <0802> of the daughters


<01363> of Canaan <03667>; Adah <05711> the daughter <01323> of

Elon


<0356> the Hittite <02850>, and Aholibamah <0173> the daughter


<01323> of Anah <06034> the daughter <01323> of Zibeon <06649>

the


Hivite <02340>;




 3  And Bashemath <01315> Ishmael's <03458> daughter <01323>,

sister


<0269> of Nebajoth <05032>.




 4  And Adah <05711> bare <03205> to Esau <06215> Eliphaz <0464>;


and Bashemath <01315> bare <03205> Reuel <07467>;




 5  And Aholibamah <0173> bare <03205> Jeush <03266>, and Jaalam


<03281>, and Korah <07141>: these <0428> [are] the sons <01121>

of


Esau <06215>, which <0834> were born <03205> unto him in the land


<0776> of Canaan <03667>.




 6  And Esau <06215> took <03947> his wives <0802>, and his sons


<01121>, and his daughters <01363>, and all <03605> the persons


<05315> of his house <01004>, and his cattle <04735>, and all


<03605> his beasts <0929>, and all <03605> his substance <07075>,


which <0834> he had got <07408> in the land <0776> of Canaan


<03667>; and went <03212> into <0413> the country <0776> from the


face <06440> of his brother <0251> Jacob <03290>.




 7  For their riches <07399> were more <07227> than that they

might


dwell <03427> together <03162>; and the land <0776> wherein they


were strangers <04033> could <03201> not bear <05375> them

because


<06440> of their cattle <04735>.




 8  Thus dwelt <03427> Esau <06215> in mount <02022> Seir

<08165>:


Esau <06215> [is] Edom <0123>.




 9. And these <0428> [are] the generations <08435> of Esau

<06215>


the father <01> of the Edomites <0130> in mount <02022> Seir


<08165>:




 10  These <0428> [are] the names <08034> of Esau's <06215> sons


<01121>; Eliphaz <0464> the son <01121> of Adah <05711> the wife

Bashemath


<01315> the wife <0802> of Esau <06215>.




 11  And the sons <01121> of Eliphaz <0464> were Teman <08487>,

Omar


<0201>, Zepho <06825>, and Gatam <01609>, and Kenaz <07073>.




 12  And Timna <08555> was concubine <06370> to Eliphaz <0464>


Esau's <06215> son <01121>; and she bare <03205> to Eliphaz

<0464>


Amalek <06002>: these <0428> [were] the sons <01121> of Adah

<05711>


Esau's <06215> wife <0802>.




 13  And these <0428> [are] the sons <01121> of Reuel <07467>;


Nahath <05184>, and Zerah <02226>, Shammah <08048>, and Mizzah


<04199>: these <0428> were the sons <01121> of Bashemath <01315>


Esau's <06215> wife <0802>.




 14  And these <0428> were the sons <01121> of Aholibamah <0173>,


the daughter <01323> of Anah <06034> the daughter <01323> of

Zibeon


<06649>, Esau's <06215> wife <0802>: and she bare <03205> to Esau


<06215> Jeush <03266>, and Jaalam <03281>, and Korah <07141>.




 15  These <0428> [were] dukes <0441> of the sons <01121> of Esau


<06215>: the sons <01121> of Eliphaz <0464> the firstborn <01060>


[son] of Esau <06215>; duke <0441> Teman <08487>, duke <0441>

Omar


<0201>, duke <0441> Zepho <06825>, duke <0441> Kenaz <07073>,




 16  Duke <0441> Korah <07141>, duke <0441> Gatam <01609>, [and]


duke <0441> Amalek <06002>: these <0428> [are] the dukes <0441>


[that came] of Eliphaz <0464> in the land <0776> of Edom <0123>;


these <0428> [were] the sons <01121> of Adah <05711>.

Zerah


<02226>, duke <0441> Shammah <08048>, duke <0441> Mizzah <04199>:


these <0428> [are] the dukes <0441> [that came] of Reuel <07467>

in


the land <0776> of Edom <0123>; these <0428> [are] the sons

<01121>


of Bashemath <01315> Esau's <06215> wife <0802>.




 18  And these <0428> [are] the sons <01121> of Aholibamah <0173>


Esau's <06215> wife <0802>; duke <0441> Jeush <03266>, duke

<0441>


Jaalam <03281>, duke <0441> Korah <07141>: these <0428> [were]

the


dukes <0441> [that came] of Aholibamah <0173> the daughter

<01323>


of Anah <06034>, Esau's <06215> wife <0802>.




 19  These <0428> [are] the sons <01121> of Esau <06215>, who

[is]


Edom <0123>, and these <0428> [are] their dukes <0441>.




 20. These <0428> [are] the sons <01121> of Seir <08165> the

Horite


<02752>, who inhabited <01753> the land <0776>; Lotan <03877>,

and

 21  And Dishon <01788>, and Ezer <0687>, and Dishan <01789>:

these


<0428> [are] the dukes <0441> of the Horites <02752>, the

children


<01121> of Seir <08165> in the land <0776> of Edom <0123>.




 22  And the children <01121> of Lotan <03877> were Hori <02753>

and


Hemam <01967>; and Lotan's <03877> sister <0269> [was] Timna


<08555>.

Genesis  37




 1. And Jacob <03290> dwelt <03427> in the land <0776> wherein

his


father <01> was a stranger <04033>, in the land <0776> of Canaan


<03667>.




 2  These <0428> [are] the generations <08435> of Jacob <03290>.


Joseph <03130>, [being] seventeen <07651> years <08141> old

<01121>,


was feeding <07462> the flock <06629> with his brethren <0251>;

and


the lad <05288> [was] with the sons <01121> of Bilhah <01090>,

and


with the sons <01121> of Zilpah <02153>, his father's <01> wives


<0802>: and Joseph <03130> brought <0935> unto his father <01>

their


evil <07451> report <01681>.




 3  Now Israel <03478> loved <0157> Joseph <03130> more than all


<03605> his children <01121>, because <03588> he [was] the son


<01121> of his old <02208> age: and he made <06213> him a coat


<03801> of [many] colours <06446>.




 4  And when his brethren <0251> saw <07200> that their father

<01>


loved <0157> him more than all <03605> his brethren <0251>, they


hated <08130> him, and could <03201> not speak <01696> peaceably


<07965> unto him.




 5. And Joseph <03130> dreamed <02492> a dream <02472>, and he

told


<05046> [it] his brethren <0251>: and they hated <08130> him yet


<05750> the more <03254>.




 6  And he said <0559> unto them, Hear <08085>, I pray <04994>

you,


this <02088> dream <02472> which <0834> I have dreamed <02492>:




 7  For, behold <02009>, we [were] binding <0481> sheaves <0485>

in


the field <07704>, and, lo <02009>, my sheaf <0485> arose

<06965>,


and also <01571> stood <05324> upright; and, behold <02009>, your


sheaves <0485> stood round <05437> about, and made obeisance

<07812>


to my sheaf <0485>.




 8  And his brethren <0251> said <0559> to him, Shalt thou indeed


reign <04427> over <05921> us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion


<04910> over us? And they hated <08130> him yet <05750> the more


<03254> for his dreams <02472>, and for his words <01697>.




 9  And he dreamed <02492> yet <05750> another <0312> dream

<02472>,


and told <05608> it his brethren <0251>, and said <0559>, Behold


<02009>, I have dreamed <02492> a dream <02472> more <05750>;

and,


behold <02009>, the sun <08121> and the moon <03394> and the

eleven


stars <03556> made obeisance <07812> to me.




 10  And he told <05608> [it] to his father <01>, and to his


brethren <0251>: and his father <01> rebuked <01605> him, and

said


<0559> unto him, What <04100> [is] this <02088> dream <02472>

that


thou hast dreamed <02492>? Shall I and thy mother <0517> and thy


brethren <0251> indeed come <0935> to bow <07812> down <07812>


ourselves to thee to the earth <0776>?




 11  And his brethren <0251> envied <07065> him; but his father

<01>


observed <08104> the saying <01697>.




 12. And his brethren <0251> went <03212> to feed <07462> their


father's <01> flock <06629> in Shechem <07927>.




 13  And Israel <03478> said <0559> unto Joseph <03130>, Do not

thy


brethren <0251> feed <07462> [the flock] in Shechem <07927>? come


<03212>, and I will send <07971> thee unto them. And he said

<0559>


to him, Here <02009> [am I].




 14  And he said <0559> to him, Go <03212>, I pray <04994> thee,

see


<07200> whether it be well <07965> with thy brethren <0251>, and


well <07965> with the flocks <06629>; and bring <07725> me word


<01697> again <07725>. So he sent <07971> him out of the vale


<06010> of Hebron <02275>, and he came <0935> to Shechem <07927>.




 15  And a certain man <0376> found <04672> him, and, behold


<02009>, [he was] wandering <08582> in the field <07704>: and the


man <0376> asked <07592> him, saying <0559>, What <04100> seekest


<01245> thou?




 16  And he said <0559>, I seek <01245> my brethren <0251>: tell


<05046> me, I pray <04994> thee, where <0375> they feed <07462>


[their flocks].




 17  And the man <0376> said <0559>, They are departed <05265>

hence


<02088>; for I heard <08085> them say <0559>, Let us go <03212>

to


Dothan <01886>. And Joseph <03130> went <03212> after <0310> his


brethren <0251>, and found <04672> them in Dothan <01886>.




 18  And when they saw <07200> him afar <07350> off, even before


<02962> he came <07126> near <07126> unto them, they conspired


<05320> against <0834> him to slay <04191> him.




 19  And they said <0559> one <0376> to another <0250>, Behold


<02009>, this <01976> dreamer cometh <0935>.




 20  Come <03212> now <06258> therefore, and let us slay <02026>


him, and cast <07993> him into some <0259> pit <0953>, and we

will


say <0559>, Some evil <07451> beast <02416> hath devoured <0398>


him: and we shall see <07200> what <04100> will become <01961> of


his dreams <02472>.




 21  And Reuben <07205> heard <08085> [it], and he delivered

<05337>


him out of their hands <03027>; and said <0559>, Let us not kill


<05221> him.




 22  And Reuben <07205> said <0559> unto them, Shed <08210> no


<03808> blood <01818>, [but] cast <07993> him into <0413> this


<02088> pit <0953> that [is] in the wilderness <04057>, and lay


<07971> no <03808> hand <03027> upon him; that he might rid

<05337>


him out of their hands <03027>, to deliver <07725> him to his

father


<01> again <07725>.




 23. And it came <01961> to pass, when <0834> Joseph <03130> was


come <0935> unto his brethren <0251>, that they stript <06584>


Joseph <03130> out of his coat <03801>, [his] coat <03801> of

[many]


colours <06446> that [was] on <05921> him;




 24  And they took <03947> him, and cast <07993> him into a pit


<0953>: and the pit <0953> [was] empty <07386>, [there was] no


<03808> water <04325> in it.




 25  And they sat <03427> down to eat <0398> bread <03899>: and

they


lifted <05375> up their eyes <05869> and looked <07200>, and,

behold


<02009>, a company <0736> of Ishmeelites <03459> came <0935> from


Gilead <01568> with their camels <01581> bearing <05375> spicery


<05219> and balm <06875> and myrrh <03910>, going <01980> to

carry


<03381> [it] down <03381> to Egypt <04714>.




 26  And Judah <03063> said <0559> unto his brethren <0251>, What


<04100> profit <01215> [is it] if <03588> we slay <02026> our


brother <0251>, and conceal <03680> his blood <01818>?




 27  Come <03212>, and let us sell <04376> him to the Ishmeelites


<03459>, and let not our hand <03027> be upon him; for he [is]

our


brother <0251> [and] our flesh <01320>. And his brethren <0251>

were


content <08085>.




 28  Then there passed <05674> by Midianites <04084> merchantmen


<05503>; and they drew <04900> and lifted <05927> up Joseph

<03130>


out of the pit <0953>, and sold <04376> Joseph <03130> to the


Ishmeelites <03459> for twenty <06242> [pieces] of silver

<03701>:


and they brought <0935> Joseph <03130> into Egypt <04714>.




 29  And Reuben <07205> returned <07725> unto the pit <0953>;

and,


behold <02009>, Joseph <03130> [was] not in the pit <0953>; and

he


rent <07167> his clothes <0899>.




 30  And he returned <07725> unto his brethren <0251>, and said


<0559>, The child <03206> [is] not; and I, whither <0575> shall

I go


<0935>?




 31. And they took <03947> Joseph's <03130> coat <03801>, and

killed


<07819> a kid <08163> of the goats <05795>, and dipped <02881>

the


coat <03801> in the blood <01818>;




 32  And they sent <07971> the coat <03801> of [many] colours


<06446>, and they brought <0935> [it] to their father <01>; and

said


<0559>, This <02063> have we found <04672>: know <05234> now

<04994>


whether it [be] thy son's <01121> coat <03801> or no <03808>.




 33  And he knew <05234> it, and said <0559>, [It is] my son's


<01121> coat <03801>; an evil <07451> beast <02416> hath devoured


<0398> him; Joseph <03130> is without <02963> doubt rent <02963>

in


pieces.




 34  And Jacob <03290> rent <07167> his clothes <08071>, and put


<07760> sackcloth <08242> upon his loins <04975>, and mourned

<056>


for his son <01121> many <07227> days <03117>.




 35  And all <03605> his sons <01121> and all <03605> his

daughters


<01363> rose <06965> up to comfort <05162> him; but he refused


<03985> to be comforted <05162>; and he said <0559>, For I will

go


<03381> down <03381> into the grave <07585> unto my son <01121>


mourning <057>. Thus his father <01> wept <01058> for him.




 36  And the Midianites <04092> sold <04376> him into <0413>

Egypt


<04714> unto Potiphar <06318>, an officer <05631> of Pharaoh's


<06547>, [and] captain <08269> of the guard <02876>.




Genesis  38




 1. And it came <01961> to pass at that time <06256>, that Judah


<03063> went <03381> down <03381> from his brethren <0251>, and


turned <05186> in to a certain <0376> Adullamite <05726>, whose

name


<08034> [was] Hirah <02437>.




 2  And Judah <03063> saw <07200> there <08033> a daughter

<01323>


of a certain <0376> Canaanite <03669>, whose name <08034> [was]


Shuah <07770>; and he took <03947> her, and went <0935> in unto

her.




 3  And she conceived <02029>, and bare <03205> a son <01121>;

and


he called <07121> his name <08034> Er <06147>.




 4  And she conceived <02030> again <05750>, and bare <03205> a

son


<01121>; and she called <07121> his name <08034> Onan <0209>.




 5  And she yet <05750> again <05750> conceived <03254>, and bare


<03205> a son <01121>; and called <07121> his name <08034> Shelah


<07956>: and he was at Chezib <03580>, when she bare <03205> him.




 6  And Judah <03063> took <03947> a wife <0802> for Er <06147>

his


firstborn <01060>, whose name <08034> [was] Tamar <08559>.




 7  And Er <06147>, Judah's <03063> firstborn <01060>, was wicked


<07451> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>; and the LORD


<03068> slew <04191> him.




 8  And Judah <03063> said <0559> unto Onan <0209>, Go <0935> in


unto thy brother's <0251> wife <0802>, and marry <02992> her, and


raise <06965> up seed <02233> to thy brother <0251>.




 9  And Onan <0209> knew <03045> that the seed <02233> should

not be


his; and it came <01961> to pass, when <0518> he went <0935> in

unto


his brother's <0251> wife <0802>, that he spilled <07843> [it] on


the ground <0776>, lest <01115> that he should give <05414> seed


<02233> to his brother <0251>.




 10  And the thing which <0834> he did <06213> displeased the

LORD


<03068>: wherefore he slew <04191> him also <01571>.




 11  Then said <0559> Judah <03063> to Tamar <08559> his daughter


<03618> in law <03618>, Remain <03427> a widow <0490> at thy


father's <01> house <01004>, till <05704> Shelah <07956> my son


<01121> be grown <01431>: for he said <0559>, Lest <06435>


peradventure he die <04191> also <01571>, as his brethren <0251>


[did]. And Tamar <08559> went <03212> and dwelt <03427> in her


father's <01> house <01004>.




 12. And in process <07235> of time <03117> the daughter <01323>

of


Shuah <07770> Judah's <03063> wife <0802> died <04191>; and Judah


<03063> was comforted <05162>, and went <05927> up unto his


sheepshearers to Timnath <08553>, he and his friend <07453> Hirah


<02437> the Adullamite <05726>.




 13  And it was told <05046> Tamar <08559>, saying <0559>, Behold


<02009> thy father <02524> in law <02524> goeth <05927> up to


Timnath <08553> to shear <01494> his sheep <06629>.




 14  And she put <05493> her widow's <0491> garments <0899> off


<05921> from her, and covered <03680> her with a vail <06809>,

and


wrapped <05968> herself, and sat <03427> in an open <05869> place


<06607>, which <0834> [is] by the way <01870> to Timnath <08553>;


for she saw <07200> that Shelah <07956> was grown <01431>, and

she


was not given <05414> unto him to wife <0802>.




 15  When Judah <03063> saw <07200> her, he thought <02803> her

[to


be] an harlot <02181>; because <03588> she had covered <03680>

her


face <06440>.




 16  And he turned <05186> unto her by the way <01870>, and said


<0559>, Go <03051> to, I pray <04994> thee, let me come <0935> in


unto thee; (for he knew <03045> not that she [was] his daughter


<03618> in law <03618>.) And she said <0559>, What <04100> wilt

thou


give <05414> me, that thou mayest come <0935> in unto me?




 17  And he said <0559>, I will send <07971> [thee] a kid <01423>


from the flock <06629>. And she said <0559>, Wilt thou give

<05414>


[me] a pledge <06162>, till <05704> thou send <07971> [it]?




 18  And he said <0559>, What <0834> pledge <06162> shall I give


<05414> thee? And she said <0559>, Thy signet <02368>, and thy


bracelets <06616>, and thy staff <04294> that [is] in thine hand


<03027>. And he gave <05414> [it] her, and came <0935> in unto

her,


and she conceived <02030> by him.




 19  And she arose <06965>, and went <03212> away, and laid

<05493>


by her vail <06809> from her, and put <03847> on the garments

<0899>


of her widowhood <0491>.




 20  And Judah <03063> sent <07971> the kid <01423> by the hand


<03027> of his friend <07453> the Adullamite <05726>, to receive


<03947> [his] pledge <06162> from the woman's <0802> hand

<03027>:


but he found <04672> her not.




 21  Then he asked <07592> the men <0582> of that place <04725>,


saying <0559>, Where <0346> [is] the harlot <06948>, that [was]


openly <05879> by the way <01870> side? And they said <0559>,

There


was no <03808> harlot <06948> in this <02088> [place].




 22  And he returned <07725> to Judah <03063>, and said <0559>, I


cannot <03808> find <04672> her; and also <01571> the men <0582>

of


the place <04725> said <0559>, [that] there was no <03808> harlot


<06948> in this <02088> [place].




 23  And Judah <03063> said <0559>, Let her take <03947> [it] to


her, lest <06435> we be shamed <0937>: behold <02009>, I sent


<07971> this <02088> kid <01423>, and thou hast not found <04672>


her.




 24. And it came <01961> to pass about three <07969> months

<02320>


after, that it was told <05046> Judah <03063>, saying <0559>,

Tamar


<08559> thy daughter <03618> in law <03618> hath played the

harlot


<02181>; and also <01571>, behold <02009>, she [is] with child


<02030> by whoredom <02183>. And Judah <03063> said <0559>, Bring


<03318> her forth <03318>, and let her be burnt <08313>.




 25  When she [was] brought <03318> forth <03318>, she sent

<07971>


to her father <02524> in law <02524>, saying <0559>, By the man


<0376>, whose <0834> these <0428> [are, am] I with child <02030>:


and she said <0559>, Discern <05234>, I pray <04994> thee, whose


<0834> [are] these <0428>, the signet <02858>, and bracelets


<06616>, and staff <04294>.




 26  And Judah <03063> acknowledged <05234> [them], and said

<0559>,


She hath been more righteous <06663> than I; because <03588>

that I


gave <05414> her not to Shelah <07956> my son <01121>. And he

knew


<03045> her again <03254> no <03808> more <05750>.




 27  And it came <01961> to pass in the time <06256> of her

travail


<03205>, that, behold <02009>, twins <08380> [were] in her womb


<0990>.




 28  And it came <01961> to pass, when she travailed <03205>,

that


[the one] put <05414> out [his] hand <03027>: and the midwife


<03205> took <03947> and bound <07194> upon his hand <03027> a


scarlet <08144> thread, saying <0559>, This <02088> came <03318>

out


first <07223>.




 29  And it came <01961> to pass, as he drew <07725> back <07725>


his hand <03027>, that, behold <02009>, his brother <0251> came


<03318> out: and she said <0559>, How <04100> hast thou broken


<06555> forth <06556>? [this] breach <06556> [be] upon thee:


therefore his name <08034> was called <07121> Pharez <06557>.




 30  And afterward <0310> came <03318> out his brother <0251>,

that


had the scarlet <08144> thread upon his hand <03027>: and his

name


<08034> was called <07121> Zarah <02226>.




Genesis  39




 1. And Joseph <03130> was brought <03381> down <03381> to Egypt


<04714>; and Potiphar <06318>, an officer <05631> of Pharaoh


<06547>, captain <08269> of the guard <02876>, an Egyptian

<04713>,


bought <07069> him of the hands <03027> of the Ishmeelites

<03459>,


which <0834> had brought <03381> him down <03381> thither

<08033>.




 2  And the LORD <03068> was with Joseph <03130>, and he was a


prosperous <06743> man <0376>; and he was in the house <01004> of


his master <0113> the Egyptian <04713>.




 3  And his master <0113> saw <07200> that the LORD <03068> [was]


with him, and that the LORD <03068> made all <03605> that he did


<06213> to prosper <06743> in his hand <03027>.




 4  And Joseph <03130> found <04672> grace <02580> in his sight


<05869>, and he served <08334> him: and he made him overseer

<06485>


over <05921> his house <01004>, and all <03605> [that] he had


<03426> he put <05414> into his hand <03027>.




 5  And it came <01961> to pass from the time [that] he had

<03426>


made him overseer <06485> in his house <01004>, and over <05921>

all


<03605> that he had <03426>, that the LORD <03068> blessed

<01288>


the Egyptian's <04713> house <01004> for Joseph's <03130> sake


<01558>; and the blessing <01293> of the LORD <03068> was upon

all


<03605> that he had <03426> in the house <01004>, and in the

field


<07704>.




 6  And he left <05800> all <03605> that he had in Joseph's

<03130>


hand <03027>; and he knew <03045> not ought <03972> he had, save

the


bread <03899> which <0834> he did eat <0398>. And Joseph <03130>

was


[a] goodly [person], and well <03303> favoured <04758>.




 7. And it came <01961> to pass after <0310> these <0428> things


<01697>, that his master's <0113> wife <0802> cast <05375> her

eyes


<05869> upon Joseph <03130>; and she said <0559>, Lie <07901>

with


me.




 8  But he refused <03985>, and said <0559> unto his master's

<0113>


wife <0802>, Behold <02005>, my master <0113> wotteth <03045> not


what <04100> [is] with me in the house <01004>, and he hath


committed <05414> all <03605> that he hath <03426> to my hand


<03027>;




 9  [There is] none <0369> greater <01419> in this <02088> house


<01004> than I; neither <03808> hath he kept <02820> back <02820>


any <03972> thing <03972> from me but thee, because <0834> thou


[art] his wife <0802>: how <0349> then can I do <06213> this

<02063>


great <01419> wickedness <07451>, and sin <02398> against God


<0430>?




 10  And it came <01961> to pass, as she spake <01696> to Joseph


<03130> day <03117> by day <03117>, that he hearkened <08085> not


unto her, to lie <07901> by her, [or] to be with her.




 11  And it came <01961> to pass about this <02088> time <03117>,


that [Joseph] went <0935> into the house <01004> to do <06213>

his


business <04399>; and [there was] none <0369> of the men <0582>

of


the house <01004> there <08033> within <01004>.




 12  And she caught <08610> him by his garment <0899>, saying


<0559>, Lie <07901> with me: and he left <05800> his garment

<0899>


in her hand <03027>, and fled <05127>, and got <03318> him out.




 13. And it came <01961> to pass, when she saw <07200> that he

had


left <05800> his garment <0899> in her hand <03027>, and was fled


<05127> forth <02315>,




 14  That she called <07121> unto the men <0582> of her house


<01004>, and spake <0559> unto them, saying <0559>, See <07200>,

he


hath brought <0935> in an Hebrew <05680> unto us to mock <06711>

us;


he came <0935> in unto me to lie <07901> with me, and I cried


<07121> with a loud <01419> voice <06963>:




 15  And it came <01961> to pass, when he heard <08085> that I


lifted <07311> up my voice <06963> and cried <07121>, that he

left


<05800> his garment <0899> with me, and fled <05127>, and got


<03318> him out.




 16  And she laid <03241> up his garment <0899> by her, until


<05704> his lord <0113> came <0935> home <01004>.




 17  And she spake <01696> unto him according to these <0428>

words


<01697>, saying <0559>, The Hebrew <05680> servant <05650>, which


<0834> thou hast brought <0935> unto us, came <0935> in unto me

to


mock <06711> me:




 18  And it came <01961> to pass, as I lifted <07311> up my voice


<06963> and cried <07121>, that he left <05800> his garment

<0899>


with me, and fled <05127> out.




 19. And it came <01961> to pass, when his master <0113> heard


<08085> the words <01697> of his wife <0802>, which <0834> she

spake


<01696> unto him, saying <0559>, After this <0428> manner <01697>


did <06213> thy servant <05650> to me; that his wrath <0639> was


kindled <02734>.




 20  And Joseph's <03130> master <0113> took <03947> him, and put


<05414> him into <0413> the prison, a place <04725> where <0834>

the


king's <04428> prisoners <0615> [were] bound <0631>: and he was


there <08033> in the prison.




 21  But the LORD <03068> was with Joseph <03130>, and shewed


<05186> him mercy <02617>, and gave <05414> him favour <02580> in


the sight <05869> of the keeper <08269> of the prison.




 22  And the keeper <08269> of the prison committed <05414> to


Joseph's <03130> hand <03027> all <03605> the prisoners <0615>

that


[were] in the prison; and whatsoever they did <06213> there

<08033>,


he was the doer <06218> [of it].




 23  The keeper <08269> of the prison looked <07200> not to any


<03972> thing <03972> [that was] under his hand <03027>; because


<0834> the LORD <03068> was with him, and [that] which <0834> he

did


<06213>, the LORD <03068> made [it] to prosper <06743>.




Genesis  40




 1. And it came <01961> to pass after <0310> these <0428> things


<01697>, [that] the butler <04945> of the king <04428> of Egypt


<04714> and [his] baker <0644> had offended <02398> their lord


<0113> the king <04428> of Egypt <04714>.




 2  And Pharaoh <06547> was wroth <07107> against <05921> two


<08147> [of] his officers <05631>, against <05921> the chief

<08269>


of the butlers <04945>, and against <05921> the chief <08269> of

the


bakers <0644>.




 3  And he put <05414> them in ward <04929> in the house <01004>

of


the captain <08269> of the guard <02876>, into <0413> the prison,


the place <04725> where <0834> Joseph <03130> [was] bound <0631>.




 4  And the captain <08269> of the guard <02876> charged <06485>


Joseph <03130> with them, and he served <08334> them: and they


continued <01961> a season <03117> in ward <04929>.




 5. And they dreamed <02492> a dream <02472> both <08147> of

them,


each man <0376> his dream <02472> in one <0259> night <03915>,

each


man <0376> according to the interpretation <06623> of his dream


<02472>, the butler <04945> and the baker <0644> of the king

<04428>


of Egypt <04714>, which <0834> [were] bound <0631> in the prison.




 6  And Joseph <03130> came <0935> in unto them in the morning


<01242>, and looked <07200> upon them, and, behold <02009>, they


[were] sad <02196>.




 7  And he asked <07592> Pharaoh's <06547> officers <05631> that


[were] with him in the ward <04929> of his lord's <0113> house


<01004>, saying <0559>, Wherefore <04069> look <06440> ye [so]

sadly


<07451> to day <03117>?




 8  And they said <0559> unto him, We have dreamed <02492> a

dream


<02472>, and [there is] no <0369> interpreter <06622> of it. And


Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto them, [Do] not interpretations


<06623> [belong] to God <0430>? tell <05608> me [them], I pray


<04994> you.




 9  And the chief <08269> butler <04945> told <05608> his dream


<02472> to Joseph <03130>, and said <0559> to him, In my dream


<02472>, behold <02009>, a vine <01612> [was] before <06440> me;




 10  And in the vine <01612> [were] three <07969> branches

<08299>:


and it [was] as though it budded <06524>, [and] her blossoms

<05322>


shot <05927> forth; and the clusters <0811> thereof brought

<01310>


forth <01310> ripe <01310> grapes <06025>:




 11  And Pharaoh's <06547> cup <03563> [was] in my hand <03027>:

and


I took <03947> the grapes <06025>, and pressed <07818> them into


<0413> Pharaoh's <06547> cup <03563>, and I gave <05414> the cup


<03563> into <05921> Pharaoh's <06547> hand <03709>.




 12  And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto him, This <02088> [is]

the


interpretation <06623> of it: The three <07969> branches <08299>


[are] three <07969> days <03117>:




 13  Yet <05750> within three <07969> days <03117> shall Pharaoh


<06547> lift <05375> up thine head <07218>, and restore <07725>

thee


unto thy place <03653>: and thou shalt deliver <05414> Pharaoh's


<06547> cup <03563> into his hand <03027>, after the former

<07223>


manner <04941> when <0834> thou wast <01961> his butler <04945>.




 14  But think <02142> on me when <0834> it shall be well <03190>


with thee, and shew <06213> kindness <02617>, I pray <04994>

thee,


unto me, and make mention <02142> of me unto Pharaoh <06547>, and


bring <03318> me out of this <02088> house <01004>:




 15  For indeed I was stolen <01589> away out of the land <0776>

of


the Hebrews <05680>: and here <06311> also <01571> have I done


<06213> nothing that they should put <07760> me into the dungeon


<0953>.




 16  When the chief <08269> baker <0644> saw <07200> that the


interpretation <06623> was good <02896>, he said <0559> unto

Joseph


<03130>, I also <0637> [was] in my dream <02472>, and, behold


<02009>, [I had] three <07969> white <02751> baskets <05536> on


<05921> my head <07218>:




 17  And in the uppermost <05945> basket <05536> [there was] of

all


<03605> manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh <06547>; and the birds


<05775> did eat <0398> them out of the basket <05536> upon my

head


<07218>.




 18  And Joseph <03130> answered <06030> and said <0559>, This


<02088> [is] the interpretation <06623> thereof: The three

<07969>


baskets <05536> [are] three <07969> days <03117>:




 19  Yet <05750> within three <07969> days <03117> shall Pharaoh


<06547> lift <05375> up thy head <07218> from off <05921> thee,

and


shall hang <08518> thee on <05921> a tree <06086>; and the birds


<05775> shall eat <0398> thy flesh <01320> from off <05921> thee.




 20. And it came <01961> to pass the third <07992> day <03117>,


[which was] Pharaoh's <06547> birthday, that he made <06213> a

feast


<04960> unto all <03605> his servants <05650>: and he lifted

<05375>


up the head <07218> of the chief <08269> butler <04945> and of

the


chief <08269> baker <0644> among <08432> his servants <05650>.




 21  And he restored <07725> the chief <08269> butler <04945>

unto


his butlership <04945> again <07725>; and he gave <05414> the cup


<03563> into <05921> Pharaoh's <06547> hand <03709>:




 22  But he hanged <08518> the chief <08269> baker <0644>: as

Joseph


<03130> had interpreted <06622> to them.




 23  Yet did not the chief <08269> butler <04945> remember

<02142>


Joseph <03130>, but forgat <07911> him.




Genesis  41




 1. And it came <01961> to pass at the end <07093> of two full


<03117> years <08141>, that Pharaoh <06547> dreamed <02492>: and,


behold <02009>, he stood <05975> by the river <02975>.




 2  And, behold <02009>, there came <05927> up out of the river


<02975> seven <07651> well <03303> favoured <04758> kine <06510>

and


fatfleshed <01277>; and they fed <07462> in a meadow <0260>.




 3  And, behold <02009>, seven <07651> other <0312> kine <06510>


came <05927> up after <0310> them out of the river <02975>, ill


<07451> favoured <04758> and leanfleshed; and stood <05975> by

the


[other] kine <06510> upon the brink <08193> of the river <02975>.




 4  And the ill <07451> favoured <04758> and leanfleshed kine


<06510> did eat <0398> up the seven <07651> well <03303> favoured


<04758> and fat <01277> kine <06510>. So Pharaoh <06547> awoke


<03364>.




 5  And he slept <03462> and dreamed <02492> the second <08145>


time: and, behold <02009>, seven <07651> ears <07641> of corn

came


<05927> up upon one <0259> stalk <07070>, rank <01277> and good


<02896>.




 6  And, behold <02009>, seven <07651> thin <01851> ears <07641>

and


blasted <07710> with the east <06921> wind sprung <06779> up

after


<0310> them.




 7  And the seven thin <01851> ears <07641> devoured <01104> the


seven <07651> rank <01277> and full <04392> ears <07641>. And


Pharaoh <06547> awoke <03364>, and, behold <02009>, [it was] a

dream


<02472>.




 8  And it came <01961> to pass in the morning <01242> that his


spirit <07307> was troubled <06470>; and he sent <07971> and

called


<07121> for all <03605> the magicians <02748> of Egypt <04714>,

and


all <03605> the wise <02450> men thereof: and Pharaoh <06547>

told


<05608> them his dream <02472>; but [there was] none <0369> that


could interpret <06622> them unto Pharaoh <06547>.




 9. Then spake <01696> the chief <08269> butler <04945> unto

Pharaoh


<06547>, saying <0559>, I do remember <02142> my faults <02399>

this


day <03117>:




 10  Pharaoh <06547> was wroth <07107> with his servants <05650>,


and put <05414> me in ward <04929> in the captain <08269> of the


guard's <02876> house <01004>, [both] me and the chief <08269>

baker


<0644>:




 11  And we dreamed <02492> a dream <02472> in one <0259> night


<03915>, I and he; we dreamed <02492> each man <0376> according

to


the interpretation <06623> of his dream <02472>.




 12  And [there <08033> was] there <08033> with us a young

<05288>


man <0376>, an Hebrew <05680>, servant <05650> to the captain


<08269> of the guard <02876>; and we told <05608> him, and he


interpreted <06622> to us our dreams <02472>; to each man <0376>


according to his dream <02472> he did interpret <06622>.




 13  And it came <01961> to pass, as he interpreted <06622> to

us,


so <03651> it was; me he restored <07725> unto mine office

<03653>,


and him he hanged <08518>.




 14  Then Pharaoh <06547> sent <07971> and called <07121> Joseph


<03130>, and they brought <07323> him hastily <07323> out of the


dungeon <0953>: and he shaved <01548> [himself], and changed

<02498>


his raiment <08071>, and came <0935> in unto Pharaoh <06547>.




 15  And Pharaoh <06547> said <0559> unto Joseph <03130>, I have


dreamed <02492> a dream <02472>, and [there is] none <0369> that

can


interpret <06622> it: and I have heard <08085> say <0559> of

thee,


[that] thou canst understand <08085> a dream <02472> to interpret


<06622> it.




 16  And Joseph <03130> answered <06030> Pharaoh <06547>, saying


<0559>, [It is] not in me: God <0430> shall give Pharaoh <06547>

an


answer <06030> of peace <07965>.




 17. And Pharaoh <06547> said <01696> unto Joseph <03130>, In my


dream <02472>, behold <02009>, I stood <05975> upon the bank

<08193>


of the river <02975>:




 18  And, behold <02009>, there came <05927> up out of the river


<02975> seven <07651> kine <06510>, fatfleshed <01277> and well


<03303> favoured <08389>; and they fed <07462> in a meadow

<0260>:




 19  And, behold <02009>, seven <07651> other <0312> kine <06510>


came <05927> up after <0310> them, poor <01800> and very <03966>

ill


<07451> favoured <08389> and leanfleshed <07534>, such <02007>

as I


never <03808> saw <07200> in all <03605> the land <0776> of Egypt


<04714> for badness <07455>:




 20  And the lean <07534> and the ill <07451> favoured kine

<06510>


did eat <0398> up the first <07223> seven <07651> fat <01277>

kine


<06510>:




 21  And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known

<03045>


that they had eaten them; but they [were] still ill <07451>


favoured, as at the beginning <08462>. So I awoke <03364>.




 22  And I saw <07200> in my dream <02472>, and, behold <02009>,


seven <07651> ears <07641> came <05927> up in one <0259> stalk


<07070>, full <04392> and good <02896>:




 23  And, behold <02009>, seven <07651> ears <07641>, withered


<06798>, thin <01851>, [and] blasted <07710> with the east

<06921>


wind, sprung <06779> up after <0310> them:




 24  And the thin <01851> ears <07641> devoured <01104> the seven


<07651> good <02896> ears <07641>: and I told <0559> [this] unto

the


magicians <02748>; but [there was] none <0369> that could declare


<05046> [it] to me.




 25  And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto Pharaoh <06547>, The

dream


<02472> of Pharaoh <06547> [is] one <0259>: God <0430> hath

shewed


<05046> Pharaoh <06547> what he [is] about to do <06213>.




 26  The seven <07651> good <02896> kine <06510> [are] seven

<07651>


years <08141>; and the seven <07651> good <02896> ears <07641>

[are]


seven <07651> years <08141>: the dream <02472> [is] one <0259>.




 27  And the seven <07651> thin <07534> and ill <07451> favoured


kine <06510> that came <05927> up after <0310> them [are] seven


<07651> years <08141>; and the seven <07651> empty <07386> ears


<07641> blasted <07710> with the east <06921> wind shall be seven


<07651> years <08141> of famine <07458>.




 28  This [is] the thing <01697> which <0834> I have spoken

<01696>


unto Pharaoh <06547>: What <0834> God <0430> [is] about to do


<06213> he sheweth <07200> unto Pharaoh <06547>.




 29  Behold <02009>, there come <0935> seven <07651> years

<08141>


of great <01419> plenty <07647> throughout all <03605> the land


<0776> of Egypt <04714>:




 30  And there shall arise <06965> after <0310> them seven

<07651>


years <08141> of famine <07458>; and all <03605> the plenty

<07647>


shall be forgotten <07911> in the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>;

and


the famine <07458> shall consume <03615> the land <0776>;




 31  And the plenty <07647> shall not be known <03045> in the

land


<0776> by reason <06440> of that famine <07458> following; for it


[shall be] very <03966> grievous <03515>.




 32  And for that the dream <02472> was doubled <08138> unto

Pharaoh


<06547> twice <06471>; [it is] because <03588> the thing <01697>


[is] established <03559> by God <0430>, and God <0430> will

shortly


<04116> bring <06213> it to pass <06213>.




 33. Now <06258> therefore let Pharaoh <06547> look <07200> out a


man <0376> discreet <0995> and wise <02450>, and set <07896> him


over <05921> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.




 34  Let Pharaoh <06547> do <06213> [this], and let him appoint


<06485> officers <06496> over <05921> the land <0776>, and take

up


the fifth <02567> part of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> in the


seven <07651> plenteous <07647> years <08141>.




 35  And let them gather <06908> all <03605> the food <0400> of


those <0428> good <02896> years <08141> that come <0935>, and lay


<06651> up corn <01250> under <08478> the hand <03027> of Pharaoh


<06547>, and let them keep <08104> food <0400> in the cities


<05892>.




 36  And that food <0400> shall be for store <06487> to the land


<0776> against the seven <07651> years <08141> of famine <07458>,


which <0834> shall be in the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>; that

the


land <0776> perish <03772> not through the famine <07458>.




 37  And the thing <01697> was good <03190> in the eyes <05869>

of


Pharaoh <06547>, and in the eyes <05869> of all <03605> his

servants


<05650>.




 38  And Pharaoh <06547> said <0559> unto his servants <05650>,

Can


we find <04672> [such a one] as this <02088> [is], a man <0376>

in


whom <0834> the Spirit <07307> of God <0430> [is]?




 39  And Pharaoh <06547> said <0559> unto Joseph <03130>,

Forasmuch


<0310> as God <0430> hath shewed <03045> thee all <03605> this


<02063>, [there is] none <0369> so discreet <0995> and wise

<02450>


as thou [art]:




 40  Thou shalt be over <05921> my house <01004>, and according


<05921> unto thy word <06310> shall all <03605> my people

<05971> be


ruled <05401>: only <07535> in the throne <03678> will I be

greater


<01431> than thou.




 41  And Pharaoh <06547> said <0559> unto Joseph <03130>, See


<07200>, I have set <05414> thee over <05921> all <03605> the

land


<0776> of Egypt <04714>.




 42  And Pharaoh <06547> took <05493> off his ring <02885> from

his


hand <03027>, and put <05414> it upon Joseph's <03130> hand

<03027>,


and arrayed <03847> him in vestures <0899> of fine linen <08336>,


and put <07760> a gold <02091> chain <07242> about <05921> his

neck


<06677>;




 43  And he made him to ride <07392> in the second <04932>

chariot


<04818> which <0834> he had; and they cried <07121> before

<06440>


him, Bow <086> the knee: and he made <05414> him [ruler] over


<05921> all <03605> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.




 44  And Pharaoh <06547> said <0559> unto Joseph <03130>, I [am]


Pharaoh <06547>, and without <01107> thee shall no <03808> man


<0376> lift <07311> up his hand <03027> or foot <07272> in all


<03605> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.




 45  And Pharaoh <06547> called <07121> Joseph's <03130> name


<08034> Zaphnathpaaneah; and he gave <05414> him to wife <0802>


Asenath <0621> the daughter <01323> of Potipherah <06319> priest


<03548> of On <0204>. And Joseph <03130> went <03318> out over


<05921> [all] the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.




 46. And Joseph <03130> [was] thirty <07970> years <08141> old


<01121> when he stood <05975> before <06440> Pharaoh <06547> king


<04428> of Egypt <04714>. And Joseph <03130> went <03318> out

from


the presence <06440> of Pharaoh <06547>, and went <05674>

throughout


all <03605> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.




 47  And in the seven <07651> plenteous <07647> years <08141> the


earth <0776> brought <06213> forth <06213> by handfuls <07062>.




 48  And he gathered <06908> up all <03605> the food <0400> of

the


seven <07651> years <08141>, which <0834> were in the land

<0776> of


Egypt <04714>, and laid <05414> up the food <0400> in the cities


<05892>: the food <0400> of the field <07704>, which <0834> [was]


round <05439> about every city <05892>, laid <05414> he up in the


same.




 49  And Joseph <03130> gathered <06651> corn <01250> as the sand


<02344> of the sea <03220>, very <03966> much <07235>, until

<05704>


he left <02308> numbering <05608>; for [it was] without <0369>


number <04557>.




 50  And unto Joseph <03130> were born <03205> two <08147> sons


<01121> before <02962> the years <08141> of famine <07458> came


<0935>, which <0834> Asenath <0621> the daughter <01323> of


Potipherah <06319> priest <03548> of On <0204> bare <03205> unto


him.




 51  And Joseph <03130> called <07121> the name <08034> of the


firstborn <01060> Manasseh <04519>: For God <0430>, [said he],

hath


made me forget <05382> all <03605> my toil <05999>, and all

<03605>


my father's <01> house <01004>.




 52  And the name <08034> of the second <08145> called <07121> he


Ephraim <0669>: For God <0430> hath caused me to be fruitful

<06509>


in the land <0776> of my affliction <06040>.




 53  And the seven <07651> years <08141> of plenteousness

<07647>,


that was in the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, were ended <03615>.




 54  And the seven <07651> years <08141> of dearth <07458> began


<02490> to come <0935>, according as Joseph <03130> had said

<0559>:


and the dearth <07458> was in all <03605> lands <0776>; but in

all


<03605> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> there was bread <03899>.




 55  And when all <03605> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> was


famished <07456>, the people <05971> cried <06817> to Pharaoh


<06547> for bread <03899>: and Pharaoh <06547> said <0559> unto

all


<03605> the Egyptians <04714>, Go <03212> unto Joseph <03130>;

what


<0834> he saith <0559> to you, do <06213>.




 56  And the famine <07458> was over <05921> all <03605> the face


<06440> of the earth <0776>: And Joseph <03130> opened <06605>

all


<03605> the storehouses <0834>, and sold <07666> unto the

Egyptians


<04714>; and the famine <07458> waxed sore <02388> in the land


<0776> of Egypt <04714>.




 57  And all <03605> countries <0776> came <0935> into Egypt

<04714>


to Joseph <03130> for to buy <07666> [corn]; because <03588> that


the famine <07458> was [so] sore <02388> in all <03605> lands


<0776>.




Genesis  42




 1. Now when Jacob <03290> saw <07200> that there was corn

<07668>


in Egypt <04714>, Jacob <03290> said <0559> unto his sons

<01121>,


Why <04100> do ye look <07200> one upon another?




 2  And he said <0559>, Behold <02009>, I have heard <08085> that


there is corn <07668> in Egypt <04714>: get <03381> you down

<03381>


thither <08033>, and buy <07666> for us from thence <08033>;

that we


may live <02421>, and not die <04191>.




 3  And Joseph's <03130> ten <06235> brethren <0251> went <03381>


down <03381> to buy <07666> corn <01250> in Egypt <04714>.




 4  But Benjamin <01144>, Joseph's <03130> brother <0251>, Jacob


<03290> sent <07971> not with his brethren <0251>; for he said


<0559>, Lest <06435> peradventure mischief <0611> befall <07122>


him.




 5  And the sons <01121> of Israel <03478> came <0935> to buy


<07666> [corn] among <08432> those that came <0935>: for the

famine


<07458> was in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>.




 6  And Joseph <03130> [was] the governor <07989> over <05921>

the


land <0776>, [and] he [it was] that sold <07666> to all <03605>

the


people <05971> of the land <0776>: and Joseph's <03130> brethren


<0251> came <0935>, and bowed <07812> down <07812> themselves

before


him [with] their faces <0639> to the earth <0776>.




 7. And Joseph <03130> saw <07200> his brethren <0251>, and he

knew


<05234> them, but made himself strange <05234> unto them, and

spake


<01696> roughly <07186> unto them; and he said <0559> unto them,


Whence <0370> come <0935> ye? And they said <0559>, From the land


<0776> of Canaan <03667> to buy <07666> food <0400>.




 8  And Joseph <03130> knew <05234> his brethren <0251>, but they


knew <03045> not him.




 9  And Joseph <03130> remembered <02142> the dreams <02472>

which


<0834> he dreamed <02492> of them, and said <0559> unto them, Ye


[are] spies <07270>; to see <07200> the nakedness <06172> of the


land <0776> ye are come <0935>.




 10  And they said <0559> unto him, Nay <03808>, my lord <0113>,

but


to buy <07666> food <0400> are thy servants <05650> come <0935>.




 11  We [are] all <03605> one <0259> man's <0376> sons <01121>;

we


[are] true <03651> [men], thy servants <05650> are no <03808>

spies


<07270>.




 12  And he said <0559> unto them, Nay <03808>, but to see

<07200>


the nakedness <06172> of the land <0776> ye are come <0935>.




 13  And they said <0559>, Thy servants <05650> [are] twelve


brethren <0251>, the sons <01121> of one <0259> man <0376> in the


land <0776> of Canaan <03667>; and, behold <02009>, the youngest


<06996> [is] this day <03117> with our father <01>, and one

<0259>


[is] not.




 14  And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto them, That [is it] that

I


spake <01696> unto you, saying <0559>, Ye [are] spies <07270>:




 15  Hereby <02063> ye shall be proved <0974>: By the life

<02416>


of Pharaoh <06547> ye shall not go <03318> forth <03318> hence


<02088>, except your youngest <06996> brother <0251> come <0935>


hither.




 16  Send <07971> one <0259> of you, and let him fetch <03947>

your


brother <0251>, and ye shall be kept <0631> in prison, that your


words <01697> may be proved <0974>, whether [there be any] truth


<0571> in you: or else by the life <02416> of Pharaoh <06547>

surely


ye [are] spies <07270>.




 17  And he put <0622> them all <0622> together into <0413> ward


<04929> three <07969> days <03117>.




 18  And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto them the third <07992>

day


<03117>, This <02063> do <06213>, and live <02421>; [for] I fear


<03373> God <0430>:




 19  If <0518> ye [be] true <03651> [men], let one <0259> of your


brethren <0251> be bound <0631> in the house <01004> of your

prison


<04929>: go <03212> ye, carry <0935> corn <07668> for the famine


<07459> of your houses <01004>:




 20  But bring <0935> your youngest <06996> brother <0251> unto

me;


so shall your words <01697> be verified <0539>, and ye shall not

die


<04191>. And they did <06213> so <03651>.




 21. And they said <0559> one <0376> to another <0250>, We [are]


verily <061> guilty <0816> concerning <05921> our brother <0251>,

 in


that we saw <07200> the anguish <06869> of his soul <05315>,

when he


besought <02603> us, and we would not hear <08085>; therefore is


this <02063> distress <06869> come <0935> upon us.




 22  And Reuben <07205> answered <06030> them, saying <0559>,

Spake


<0559> I not unto you, saying <0559>, Do not sin <02398> against

the


child <03206>; and ye would not hear <08085>? therefore <01571>,


behold <02009>, also <01571> his blood <01818> is required

<01875>.




 23  And they knew <03045> not that Joseph <03130> understood


<08085> [them]; for he spake unto them by an interpreter <03887>.




 24  And he turned <05437> himself about from them, and wept


<01058>; and returned <07725> to them again <07725>, and communed


<01696> with them, and took <03947> from them Simeon <08095>, and


bound <0631> him before their eyes <05869>.




 25  Then Joseph <03130> commanded <06680> to fill <04390> their


sacks <03672> with corn <01250>, and to restore <07725> every

man's


<0376> money <03701> into <0413> his sack <08242>, and to give


<05414> them provision <06720> for the way <01870>: and thus

<03651>


did <06213> he unto them.




 26  And they laded <05375> their asses <02543> with the corn


<07668>, and departed <03212> thence <08033>.




 27  And as one <0259> of them opened <06605> his sack <08242> to


give <05414> his ass <02543> provender <04554> in the inn

<04411>,


he espied <07200> his money <03701>; for, behold <02009>, it

[was]


in his sack's <0572> mouth <06310>.




 28  And he said <0559> unto his brethren <0251>, My money

<03701>


is restored <07725>; and, lo <02009>, [it is] even in my sack


<0572>: and their heart <03820> failed <03318> [them], and they

were


afraid <02729>, saying <0559> one <0376> to another <0250>, What


<04100> [is] this <02063> [that] God <0430> hath done <06213>

unto


us?




 29. And they came <0935> unto Jacob <03290> their father <01>

unto


the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, and told <05046> him all

<03605>


that befell <07136> unto them; saying <0559>,




 30  The man <0376>, [who is] the lord <0113> of the land <0776>,


spake <01696> roughly <07186> to us, and took <05414> us for

spies


<07270> of the country <0776>.




 31  And we said <0559> unto him, We [are] true <03651> [men]; we


are no <03808> spies <07270>:




 32  We [be] twelve brethren <0251>, sons <01121> of our father


<01>; one <0259> [is] not, and the youngest <06996> [is] this day


<03117> with our father <01> in the land <0776> of Canaan

<03667>.




 33  And the man <0376>, the lord <0113> of the country <0776>,

said


<0559> unto us, Hereby <02063> shall I know <03045> that ye [are]


true <03651> [men]; leave <03241> one <0259> of your brethren

<0251>


[here] with me, and take <03947> [food for] the famine <07459> of


your households <01004>, and be gone <03212>:




 34  And bring <0935> your youngest <06996> brother <0251> unto

me:


then shall I know <03045> that ye [are] no <03808> spies <07270>,


but [that] ye [are] true <03651> [men: so] will I deliver <05414>


you your brother <0251>, and ye shall traffick <05503> in the

land


<0776>.




 35  And it came <01961> to pass as they emptied <07324> their

sacks


<08242>, that, behold <02009>, every man's <0376> bundle <06872>

of


money <03701> [was] in his sack <08242>: and when [both] they and


their father <01> saw <07200> the bundles <06872> of money

<03701>,


they were afraid <03372>.




 36  And Jacob <03290> their father <01> said <0559> unto them,

Me


have ye bereaved <07921> [of my children]: Joseph <03130> [is]

not,


and Simeon <08095> [is] not, and ye will take <03947> Benjamin


<01144> [away]: all <03605> these things are against <05921> me.




 37  And Reuben <07205> spake <0559> unto his father <01>, saying


<0559>, Slay <04191> my two <08147> sons <01121>, if I bring

<0935>


him not to thee: deliver <05414> him into <05921> my hand

<03027>,


and I will bring <07725> him to thee again <07725>.




 38  And he said <0559>, My son <01121> shall not go <03381> down


<03381> with you; for his brother <0251> is dead <04191>, and he

is


left <07604> alone <0905>: if mischief <0611> befall <07122> him

by


the way <01870> in the which <0834> ye go <03212>, then shall ye


bring <03381> down <03381> my gray <07872> hairs with sorrow

<03015>


to the grave <07585>.




Genesis  43




 1. And the famine <07458> [was] sore <03515> in the land <0776>.




 2  And it came <01961> to pass, when <0834> they had eaten

<0398>


up the corn <07668> which <0834> they had brought <0935> out of


Egypt <04714>, their father <01> said <0559> unto them, Go

<07725>


again <07725>, buy <07666> us a little <04592> food <0400>.




 3  And Judah <03063> spake <0559> unto him, saying <0559>, The

man


<0376> did solemnly <05749> protest <05749> unto us, saying

<0559>,


Ye shall not see <07200> my face <06440>, except <01115> your


brother <0251> [be] with you.




 4  If <0518> thou wilt send <07971> our brother <0251> with us,

we


will go <03381> down <03381> and buy <07666> thee food <0400>:




 5  But if <0518> thou wilt not send <07971> [him], we will not

go


<03381> down <03381>: for the man <0376> said <0559> unto us, Ye


shall not see <07200> my face <06440>, except <01115> your

brother


<0251> [be] with you.




 6  And Israel <03478> said <0559>, Wherefore <04100> dealt ye

[so]


ill <07489> with me, [as] to tell <05046> the man <0376> whether


<05750> ye had yet <05750> a brother <0251>?




 7  And they said <0559>, The man <0376> asked <07592> us

straitly


of our state, and of our kindred <04138>, saying <0559>, [Is]

your


father <01> yet alive <02416>? have <03426> ye [another] brother


<0251>? and we told <05046> him according <05921> to the tenor


<06310> of these <0428> words <01697>: could we certainly know


<03045> that he would say <0559>, Bring <03381> your brother

<0251>


down <03381>?




 8  And Judah <03063> said <0559> unto Israel <03478> his father


<01>, Send <07971> the lad <05288> with me, and we will arise


<06965> and go <03212>; that we may live <02421>, and not die


<04191>, both <01571> we, and thou, [and] also <01571> our little


<02945> ones.




 9  I will be surety <06148> for him; of my hand <03027> shalt

thou


require <01245> him: if <0518> I bring <0935> him not unto thee,

and


set <03322> him before <06440> thee, then let me bear <02398> the


blame <02398> for ever:




 10  For except <03884> we had lingered <04102>, surely <03588>

now


<06258> we had returned <07725> this <02088> second time <06471>.




 11. And their father <01> Israel <03478> said <0559> unto them,

If


<0518> [it must be] so <03651> now <0645>, do <06213> this

<02063>;


take <03947> of the best <02173> fruits <02173> in the land

<0776>


in your vessels <03627>, and carry <03381> down <03381> the man


<0376> a present <04503>, a little <04592> balm <06875>, and a


little <04592> honey <01706>, spices <05219>, and myrrh <03910>,


nuts <0992>, and almonds <08247>:




 12  And take <03947> double <04932> money <03701> in your hand


<03027>; and the money <03701> that was brought <07725> again


<07725> in the mouth <06310> of your sacks <0572>, carry <07725>


[it] again <07725> in your hand <03027>; peradventure <0194> it


[was] an oversight <04870>:




 13  Take <03947> also your brother <0251>, and arise <06965>, go


<07725> again <07725> unto the man <0376>:




 14  And God <0410> Almighty <07706> give <05414> you mercy

<07356>


before <06440> the man <0376>, that he may send <07971> away your


other <0312> brother <0251>, and Benjamin <01144>. If <0834> I be


bereaved <07921> [of my children], I am bereaved <07921>.




 15. And the men <0582> took <03947> that present <04503>, and

they


took <03947> double <04932> money <03701> in their hand <03027>,

and


Benjamin <01144>; and rose <06965> up, and went <03381> down

<03381>


to Egypt <04714>, and stood <05975> before <06440> Joseph

<03130>.




 16  And when <03588> Joseph <03130> saw <07200> Benjamin <01144>


with them, he said <0559> to the ruler of his house <01004>,

Bring


<0935> [these] men <0582> home <01004>, and slay <02875>, and

make


ready <03559>; for [these] men <0582> shall dine <0398> with me

at


noon <06672>.




 17  And the man <0376> did <06213> as Joseph <03130> bade

<0559>;


and the man <0376> brought <0935> the men <0582> into Joseph's


<03130> house <01004>.




 18  And the men <0582> were afraid <03372>, because <03588> they


were brought <0935> into Joseph's <03130> house <01004>; and they


said <0559>, Because of the money <03701> that was returned

<07725>


in our sacks <0572> at the first <08462> time <08462> are we

brought


<0935> in; that he may seek <01556> occasion <01556> against

<05921>


us, and fall <05307> upon us, and take <03947> us for bondmen


<05650>, and our asses <02543>.




 19  And they came <05066> near <05066> to the steward of

Joseph's


<03130> house <01004>, and they communed <01696> with him at the


door <06607> of the house <01004>,




 20  And said <0559>, O sir <0113>, we came <03381> indeed down


<03381> at the first <08462> time <08462> to buy <07666> food


<0400>:




 21  And it came <01961> to pass, when <03588> we came <0935> to

the


inn <04411>, that we opened <06605> our sacks <0572>, and, behold


<02009>, [every] man's <0376> money <03701> [was] in the mouth


<06310> of his sack <0572>, our money <03701> in full weight


<04948>: and we have brought <07725> it again <07725> in our hand


<03027>.




 22  And other <0312> money <03701> have we brought <03381> down


<03381> in our hands <03027> to buy <07666> food <0400>: we

cannot


<03808> tell <03045> who <04310> put <07760> our money <03701> in


our sacks <0572>.




 23  And he said <0559>, Peace <07965> [be] to you, fear <03372>


not: your God <0430>, and the God <0430> of your father <01>,

hath


given <05414> you treasure <04301> in your sacks <0572>: I had


<0935> your money <03701>. And he brought <03318> Simeon <08095>

out


unto them.




 24  And the man <0376> brought <0935> the men <0582> into

Joseph's


<03130> house <01004>, and gave <05414> [them] water <04325>, and


they washed <07364> their feet <07272>; and he gave <05414> their


asses <02543> provender <04554>.




 25  And they made ready <03559> the present <04503> against

<05704>


Joseph <03130> came <0935> at noon <06672>: for they heard

<08085>


that they should eat <0398> bread <03899> there <08033>.




 26. And when Joseph <03130> came <0935> home <01004>, they

brought


<0935> him the present <04503> which <0834> [was] in their hand


<03027> into the house <01004>, and bowed <07812> themselves to

him


to the earth <0776>.




 27  And he asked <07592> them of [their] welfare <07965>, and

said


<0559>, [Is] your father <01> well <07965>, the old <02205> man

of


whom <0834> ye spake <0559>? [Is] he yet <05750> alive <02416>?




 28  And they answered <0559>, Thy servant <05650> our father

<01>


[is] in good <07965> health <07965>, he [is] yet <05750> alive


<02416>. And they bowed <06915> down <06915> their heads, and

made


obeisance <07812>.




 29  And he lifted <05375> up his eyes <05869>, and saw <07200>

his


brother <0251> Benjamin <01144>, his mother's <0517> son <01121>,


and said <0559>, [Is] this <02088> your younger <06996> brother


<0251>, of whom <0834> ye spake <0559> unto me? And he said

<0559>,


God <0430> be gracious <02603> unto thee, my son <01121>.




 30  And Joseph <03130> made haste <04116>; for his bowels

<07358>


did yearn <03648> upon his brother <0251>: and he sought <01245>


[where] to weep <01058>; and he entered <0935> into [his] chamber


<02315>, and wept <01058> there <08033>.




 31  And he washed <07364> his face <06440>, and went <03318>

out,


and refrained <0662> himself, and said <0559>, Set <07760> on

bread


<03899>.




 32  And they set <07760> on for him by himself, and for them by


themselves <0905>, and for the Egyptians <04713>, which did eat


<0398> with him, by themselves <0905>: because <03588> the

Egyptians


<04713> might <03201> not eat <0398> bread <03899> with the

Hebrews


<05680>; for that [is] an abomination <08441> unto the Egyptians


<04714>.




 33  And they sat <03427> before <06440> him, the firstborn

<01060>


according to his birthright <01062>, and the youngest <06810>


according to his youth <06812>: and the men <0582> marvelled

<08539>


one <0376> at <0413> another <07453>.




 34  And he took <05375> [and sent <07971>] messes <04864> unto

them


from before <06440> him: but Benjamin's <01144> mess <04864> was


five <02568> times <03027> so much <07235> as any of theirs. And


they drank <08354>, and were merry <07937> with him.




Genesis  44




 1. And he commanded <06680> the steward <05921> of his house


<01004>, saying <0559>, Fill <04390> the men's <0582> sacks

<0572>


[with] food <0400>, as much <0834> as they can <03201> carry


<05375>, and put <07760> every man's <0376> money <03701> in his


sack's <0572> mouth <06310>.




 2  And put <07760> my cup <01375>, the silver <03701> cup

<01375>,


in the sack's <0572> mouth <06310> of the youngest <06996>, and

his


corn <07668> money <03701>. And he did <06213> according to the

word


<01697> that Joseph <03130> had spoken <01696>.




 3  As soon as the morning <01242> was light <0216>, the men

<0582>


were sent <07971> away, they and their asses <02543>.




 4  [And] when they were gone <03318> out of the city <05892>,

[and]


not [yet] far <07368> off, Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto his


steward <05921>, Up, follow <07291> after <0310> the men <0582>;

and


when thou dost overtake <05381> them, say <0559> unto them,


Wherefore <04100> have ye rewarded <07999> evil <07451> for good


<02896>?




 5  [Is] not this <02088> [it] in which <0834> my lord <0113>


drinketh <08354>, and whereby indeed he divineth <05172>? ye have


done evil <07489> in so <0834> doing <06213>.




 6  And he overtook <05381> them, and he spake <01696> unto them


these <0411> same words <01697>.




 7  And they said <0559> unto him, Wherefore <04100> saith

<01696>


my lord <0113> these <0428> words <01697>? God forbid <02486>

that


thy servants <05650> should do <06213> according to this <02088>


thing <01697>:




 8  Behold <02005>, the money <03701>, which <0834> we found

<04672>


in our sacks <0572>' mouths <06310>, we brought <07725> again


<07725> unto thee out of the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>: how


<0349> then should we steal <01589> out of thy lord's <0113>

house


<01004> silver <03701> or <0176> gold <02091>?




 9  With whomsoever <0834> of thy servants <05650> it be found


<04672>, both let him die <04191>, and we also <01571> will be my


lord's <0113> bondmen <05650>.




 10  And he said <0559>, Now <06258> also <01571> [let] it [be]


according unto your words <01697>: he with whom <0834> it is

found


<04672> shall be my servant <05650>; and ye shall be blameless


<05355>.




 11  Then they speedily <04116> took <03381> down <03381> every

man


<0376> his sack <0572> to the ground <0776>, and opened <06605>


every man <0376> his sack <0572>.




 12  And he searched <02664>, [and] began <02490> at the eldest


<01419>, and left <03615> at the youngest <06996>: and the cup


<01375> was found <04672> in Benjamin's <01144> sack <0572>.




 13  Then they rent <07167> their clothes <08071>, and laded

<06006>


every man <0376> his ass <02543>, and returned <07725> to the

city


<05892>.




 14  And Judah <03063> and his brethren <0251> came <0935> to


Joseph's <03130> house <01004>; for he [was] yet <05750> there


<08033>: and they fell <05307> before <06440> him on the ground


<0776>.




 15  And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto them, What <04100> deed


<04639> [is] this that ye have done <06213>? wot <03045> ye not

that


such a man <0376> as I can certainly divine <05172>?




 16  And Judah <03063> said <0559>, What <04100> shall we say

<0559>


unto my lord <0113>? what <04100> shall we speak <01696>? or how


<04100> shall we clear <06663> ourselves? God <0430> hath found


<04672> out the iniquity <05771> of thy servants <05650>: behold


<02009>, we [are] my lord's <0113> servants <05650>, both <01571>


we, and [he] also <01571> with whom <0834> the cup <01375> is

found


<04672>.




 17  And he said <0559>, God forbid <02486> that I should do

<06213>


so <02063>: [but] the man <0376> in whose hand <03027> the cup


<01375> is found <04672>, he shall be my servant <05650>; and as

for


you, get <05927> you up in peace <07965> unto your father <01>.




 18. Then Judah <03063> came <05066> near <05066> unto him, and

said


<0559>, Oh <0994> my lord <0113>, let thy servant <05650>, I pray


<04994> thee, speak <01696> a word <01697> in my lord's <0113>

ears


<0241>, and let not thine anger <0639> burn <02734> against thy


servant <05650>: for thou [art] even as Pharaoh <06547>.




 19  My lord <0113> asked <07592> his servants <05650>, saying


<0559>, Have <03426> ye a father <01>, or <0176> a brother

<0251>?




 20  And we said <0559> unto my lord <0113>, We have <03426> a


father <01>, an old <02208> man <0376>, and a child <03206> of

his


old <02208> age, a little <06966> one; and his brother <0251> is


dead <04191>, and he alone <0905> is left <03498> of his mother


<0517>, and his father <01> loveth <0157> him.




 21  And thou saidst <0559> unto thy servants <05650>, Bring

<03381>


him down <03381> unto me, that I may set <07760> mine eyes

<05869>


upon him.




 22  And we said <0559> unto my lord <0113>, The lad <05288>

cannot


leave <05800> his father <01>: for [if] he should leave <05800>

his


father, [his father] would die <04191>.




 23  And thou saidst <0559> unto thy servants <05650>, Except

your


youngest <06996> brother <0251> come <03381> down <03381> with

you,


ye shall see <07200> my face <06440> no <03808> more <03254>.




 24  And it came <01961> to pass when <03588> we came <05927> up


unto thy servant <05650> my father <01>, we told <05046> him the


words <01697> of my lord <0113>.




 25  And our father <01> said <0559>, Go <07725> again <07725>,


[and] buy <07666> us a little <04592> food <0400>.




 26  And we said <0559>, We cannot go <03381> down <03381>: if


<0518> our youngest <06996> brother <0251> be with us, then will

we


go <03381> down <03381>: for we may <03201> not see <07200> the


man's <0376> face <06440>, except <0369> our youngest <06996>


brother <0251> [be] with us.




 27  And thy servant <05650> my father <01> said <0559> unto us,

Ye


know <03045> that my wife <0802> bare <03205> me two <08147>

[sons]:




 28  And the one <0259> went <03318> out from me, and I said

<0559>,


Surely <0389> he is torn <02963> in pieces; and I saw <07200> him


not since <02008>:




 29  And if <0518> ye take <03947> this <02088> also <01571> from


me, and mischief <0611> befall <07136> him, ye shall bring

<03381>


down <03381> my gray <07872> hairs with sorrow <07451> to the

grave


<07585>.




 30  Now <06258> therefore when I come <0935> to thy servant

<05650>


my father <01>, and the lad <05288> [be] not with us; seeing that


his life <05315> is bound <07194> up in the lad's <05288> life;




 31  It shall come <01961> to pass, when he seeth <07200> that

the


lad <05288> [is] not [with us], that he will die <04191>: and thy


servants <05650> shall bring <03381> down <03381> the gray

<07872>


hairs of thy servant <05650> our father <01> with sorrow <03015>

to


the grave <07585>.




 32  For thy servant <05650> became <06148> surety <06148> for

the


lad <05288> unto my father <01>, saying <0559>, If <0518> I bring


<0935> him not unto thee, then I shall bear <02398> the blame


<02398> to my father <01> for ever.




 33  Now <06258> therefore, I pray <04994> thee, let thy servant


<05650> abide <03427> instead <08478> of the lad <05288> a

bondman


<05650> to my lord <0113>; and let the lad <05288> go <05927> up


with his brethren <0251>.




 34  For how <0349> shall I go <05927> up to my father <01>, and

the


lad <05288> [be] not with me? lest <06435> peradventure I see


<07200> the evil <07451> that shall come <04672> on my father

<01>.




Genesis  45




 1. Then Joseph <03130> could <03201> not refrain <0662> himself


before all <03605> them that stood <05324> by him; and he cried


<07121>, Cause every <03605> man <0376> to go <03318> out from

me.


And there stood <05975> no <03808> man <0376> with him, while

Joseph


<03130> made himself known <03045> unto his brethren <0251>.




 2  And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians <04714> and the house


<01004> of Pharaoh <06547> heard <08085>.




 3  And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto his brethren <0251>, I

[am]


Joseph <03130>; doth my father <01> yet <05750> live <02416>? And


his brethren <0251> could <03201> not answer <06030> him; for

they


were troubled <0926> at his presence <06440>.




 4  And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto his brethren <0251>, Come


<05066> near <05066> to me, I pray <04994> you. And they came


<05066> near <05066>. And he said <0559>, I [am] Joseph <03130>

your


brother <0251>, whom <0834> ye sold <04376> into Egypt <04714>.




 5  Now <06258> therefore be not grieved <06087>, nor <0408>

angry


<02734> with yourselves <05869>, that ye sold <04376> me hither:

for


God <0430> did send <07971> me before <06440> you to preserve


<04241> life.




 6  For these <02088> two years <08141> [hath] the famine <07458>


[been] in the land <0776>: and yet <05750> [there are] five

<02568>


years <08141>, in the which <0834> [there shall] neither <0369>

[be]


earing <02758> nor harvest <07105>.




 7  And God <0430> sent <07971> me before <06440> you to preserve


<07760> you a posterity <07611> in the earth <0776>, and to save


<02421> your lives <02421> by a great <01419> deliverance

<06413>.




 8  So now <06258> [it was] not you [that] sent <07971> me

hither,


but God <0430>: and he hath made <07760> me a father <01> to

Pharaoh


<06547>, and lord <0113> of all <03605> his house <01004>, and a


ruler <04910> throughout all <03605> the land <0776> of Egypt


<04714>.




 9  Haste <04116> ye, and go <05927> up to my father <01>, and

say


<0559> unto him, Thus <03541> saith <0559> thy son <01121> Joseph


<03130>, God <0430> hath made <07760> me lord <0113> of all

<03605>


Egypt <04714>: come <03381> down <03381> unto me, tarry <05975>

not:




 10  And thou shalt dwell <03427> in the land <0776> of Goshen


<01657>, and thou shalt be near <07138> unto me, thou, and thy


children <01121>, and thy children's <01121> children <01121>,

and


thy flocks <06629>, and thy herds <01241>, and all <03605> that

thou


hast:




 11  And there <08033> will I nourish <03557> thee; for yet

<05750>


[there are] five <02568> years <08141> of famine <07458>; lest


<06435> thou, and thy household <01004>, and all <03605> that

thou


hast, come to poverty <03423>.




 12  And, behold <02009>, your eyes <05869> see <07200>, and the


eyes <05869> of my brother <0251> Benjamin <01144>, that [it is]

my


mouth <06310> that speaketh <01696> unto you.




 13  And ye shall tell <05046> my father <01> of all <03605> my


glory <03519> in Egypt <04714>, and of all <03605> that ye have

seen


<07200>; and ye shall haste <04116> and bring <03381> down

<03381>


my father hither.




 14  And he fell <05307> upon his brother <0251> Benjamin's

<01144>


neck <06677>, and wept <01058>; and Benjamin <01144> wept <01058>


upon his neck <06677>.




 15  Moreover he kissed <05401> all <03605> his brethren <0251>,

and


wept <01058> upon them: and after <0310> that his brethren <0251>


talked <01696> with him.




 16. And the fame <06963> thereof was heard <08085> in Pharaoh's


<06547> house <01004>, saying <0559>, Joseph's <03130> brethren


<0251> are come <0935>: and it pleased Pharaoh <06547> well, and

his


servants <05650>.




 17  And Pharaoh <06547> said <0559> unto Joseph <03130>, Say

<0559>


unto thy brethren <0251>, This <02063> do <06213> ye; lade

<02943>


your beasts <01165>, and go <03212>, get <0935> you unto the land


<0776> of Canaan <03667>;




 18  And take <03947> your father <01> and your households

<01004>,


and come <0935> unto me: and I will give <05414> you the good


<02898> of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, and ye shall eat

<0398>


the fat <02459> of the land <0776>.




 19  Now thou art commanded <06680>, this <02063> do <06213> ye;


take <03947> you wagons <05699> out of the land <0776> of Egypt


<04714> for your little <02945> ones, and for your wives <0802>,

and


bring <05375> your father <01>, and come <0935>.




 20  Also regard not your stuff <03627>; for the good <02898> of

all


<03605> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> [is] yours.




 21  And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> did <06213> so


<03651>: and Joseph <03130> gave <05414> them wagons <05699>,


according <05921> to the commandment <06310> of Pharaoh <06547>,

and


gave <05414> them provision <06720> for the way <01870>.




 22  To all <03605> of them he gave <05414> each man <0376>

changes


<02487> of raiment <08071>; but to Benjamin <01144> he gave

<05414>


three <07969> hundred <03967> [pieces] of silver <03701>, and

five


<02568> changes <02487> of raiment <08071>.




 23  And to his father <01> he sent <07971> after this <02063>


[manner]; ten <06235> asses <0860> laden <05375> with the good


<02898> things of Egypt <04714>, and ten <06235> she asses

<02543>


laden <05375> with corn <01250> and bread <03899> and meat

<04202>


for his father <01> by the way <01870>.




 24  So he sent <07971> his brethren <0251> away, and they

departed


<03212>: and he said <0559> unto them, See that ye fall <07264>

not


out by the way <01870>.




 25. And they went <05927> up out of Egypt <04714>, and came

<0935>


into the land <0776> of Canaan <03667> unto Jacob <03290> their


father <01>,




 26  And told <05046> him, saying <0559>, Joseph <03130> [is] yet


<05750> alive <02416>, and he [is] governor <04910> over <05921>

all


<03605> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>. And Jacob's heart

<03820>


fainted <06313>, for he believed <0539> them not.




 27  And they told <01696> him all <03605> the words <01697> of


Joseph <03130>, which <0834> he had said <01697> unto them: and

when


he saw <07200> the wagons <05699> which <0834> Joseph <03130> had


sent <07971> to carry <05375> him, the spirit <07307> of Jacob


<03290> their father <01> revived <02421>:




 28  And Israel <03478> said <0559>, [It is] enough <07227>;

Joseph


<03130> my son <01121> [is] yet <05750> alive <02416>: I will go


<03212> and see <07200> him before <02962> I die <04191>.




Genesis  46




 1. And Israel <03478> took his journey <05265> with all <03605>


that he had, and came <0935> to Beersheba <0884>, and offered


<02076> sacrifices <02077> unto the God <0430> of his father <01>


Isaac <03327>.




 2  And God <0430> spake <0559> unto Israel <03478> in the

visions


<04759> of the night <03915>, and said <0559>, Jacob <03290>,

Jacob


<03290>. And he said <0559>, Here <02009> [am] I.




 3  And he said <0559>, I [am] God <0430>, the God <0430> of thy


father <01>: fear <03372> not to go <03381> down <03381> into

Egypt


<04714>; for I will there <08033> make <06213> of thee a great


<01419> nation <01471>:




 4  I will go <03381> down <03381> with thee into Egypt <04714>;

and


I will also <01571> surely bring <05927> thee up [again]: and

Joseph


<03130> shall put <07896> his hand <03027> upon thine eyes

<05869>.




 5. And Jacob <03290> rose <06965> up from Beersheba <0884>: and

the


sons <01121> of Israel <03478> carried <05375> Jacob <03290>

their


father <01>, and their little <02945> ones, and their wives

<0802>,


in the wagons <05699> which <0834> Pharaoh <06547> had sent

<07971>


to carry <05375> him.




 6  And they took <03947> their cattle <04735>, and their goods


<07399>, which <0834> they had gotten <07408> in the land <0776>

of


Canaan <03667>, and came <0935> into Egypt <04714>, Jacob

<03290>,


and all <03605> his seed <02233> with him:




 7  His sons <01121>, and his sons <01121>' sons <01121> with

him,


his daughters <01363>, and his sons <01121>' daughters <01363>,

and


all <03605> his seed <02233> brought <0935> he with him into

Egypt


<04714>.




 8  And these <0428> [are] the names <08034> of the children

<01121>


of Israel <03478>, which came <0935> into Egypt <04714>, Jacob


<03290> and his sons <01121>: Reuben <07205>, Jacob's <03290>


firstborn <01060>.

 20  And unto Joseph <03130> in the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>


were born <03205> Manasseh <04519> and Ephraim <0669>, which

 26  All <03605> the souls <05315> that came <0935> with Jacob

 29  And Joseph <03130> made ready <0631> his chariot <04818>,

and


went <05927> up to meet <07125> Israel <03478> his father <01>,

to


Goshen <01657>, and presented <07200> himself unto him; and he

fell


<05307> on <05921> his neck <06677>, and wept <01058> on <05921>

his


neck <06677> a good <05750> while <05750>.




 30  And Israel <03478> said <0559> unto Joseph <03130>, Now

<06471>


let me die <04191>, since <0310> I have seen <07200> thy face


<06440>, because <03588> thou [art] yet <05750> alive <02416>.




 31  And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto his brethren <0251>, and


unto his father's <01> house <01004>, I will go <05927> up, and

shew


<05046> Pharaoh <06547>, and say <0559> unto him, My brethren


<0251>, and my father's <01> house <01004>, which <0834> [were]

in


the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, are come <0935> unto me;




 32  And the men <0582> [are] shepherds, for their trade <0582>

hath


been <01961> to feed cattle <04735>; and they have brought <0935>


their flocks <06629>, and their herds <01241>, and all <03605>

that


they have.




 33  And it shall come <01961> to pass, when <03588> Pharaoh

<06547>


shall call <07121> you, and shall say <0559>, What <04100> [is]

your


occupation <04639>?




 34  That ye shall say <0559>, Thy servants <05650>' trade <0582>


hath been <01961> about cattle <04735> from our youth <05271>

even


until <05704> now <06258>, both <01571> we, [and] also <01571>

our


fathers <01>: that ye may dwell <03427> in the land <0776> of

Goshen


<01657>; for every <03605> shepherd [is] an abomination <08441>

unto


the Egyptians <04714>.




Genesis  47




 1. Then Joseph <03130> came <0935> and told <05046> Pharaoh


<06547>, and said <0559>, My father <01> and my brethren <0251>,

and


their flocks <06629>, and their herds <01241>, and all <03605>

that


they have, are come <0935> out of the land <0776> of Canaan

<03667>;


and, behold <02009>, they [are] in the land <0776> of Goshen


<01657>.




 2  And he took <03947> some <07097> of his brethren <0251>,

[even]


five <02568> men <0582>, and presented <03322> them unto Pharaoh


<06547>.




 3  And Pharaoh <06547> said <0559> unto his brethren <0251>,

What


<04100> [is] your occupation <04639>? And they said <0559> unto


Pharaoh <06547>, Thy servants <05650> [are] shepherds, both

<01571>


we, [and] also <01571> our fathers <01>.




 4  They said <0559> moreover unto Pharaoh <06547>, For to

sojourn


<01481> in the land <0776> are we come <0935>; for thy servants


<05650> have no <0369> pasture <04829> for their flocks <06629>;

for


the famine <07458> [is] sore <03515> in the land <0776> of Canaan


<03667>: now <06258> therefore, we pray <04994> thee, let thy


servants <05650> dwell <03427> in the land <0776> of Goshen

<01657>.




 5  And Pharaoh <06547> spake <0559> unto Joseph <03130>, saying


<0559>, Thy father <01> and thy brethren <0251> are come <0935>

unto


thee:




 6  The land <0776> of Egypt <04714> [is] before <06440> thee; in


the best <04315> of the land <0776> make thy father <01> and


brethren <0251> to dwell <03427>; in the land <0776> of Goshen


<01657> let them dwell <03427>: and if <0518> thou knowest

<03045>


[any] men <0582> of activity <02428> among them, then make

<07760>


them rulers <08269> over <05921> my cattle <04735>.




 7  And Joseph <03130> brought <0935> in Jacob <03290> his father


<01>, and set <05975> him before <06440> Pharaoh <06547>: and

Jacob


<03290> blessed <01288> Pharaoh <06547>.




 8  And Pharaoh <06547> said <0559> unto Jacob <03290>, How

<04100>


old [art] thou?




 9  And Jacob <03290> said <0559> unto Pharaoh <06547>, The days


<03117> of the years <08141> of my pilgrimage <04033> [are] an


hundred <03967> and thirty <07970> years <08141>: few <04592> and


evil <07451> have the days <03117> of the years <08141> of my

life


<02416> been <01961>, and have not attained <05381> unto the days


<03117> of the years <08141> of the life <02416> of my fathers

<01>


in the days <03117> of their pilgrimage <04033>.




 10  And Jacob <03290> blessed <01288> Pharaoh <06547>, and went


<03318> out from before <06440> Pharaoh <06547>.




 11  And Joseph <03130> placed <03427> his father <01> and his


brethren <0251>, and gave <05414> them a possession <0272> in the


land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, in the best <04315> of the land


<0776>, in the land <0776> of Rameses <07486>, as Pharaoh <06547>


had commanded <06680>.




 12  And Joseph <03130> nourished <03557> his father <01>, and

his


brethren <0251>, and all <03605> his father's <01> household


<01004>, with bread <03899>, according <06310> to [their]

families


<02945>.




 13. And [there was] no <0369> bread <03899> in all <03605> the

land


<0776>; for the famine <07458> [was] very <03966> sore <03515>,

so


that the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> and [all] the land <0776>

of


Canaan <03667> fainted <03856> by reason <06440> of the famine


<07458>.




 14  And Joseph <03130> gathered <03950> up all <03605> the money


<03701> that was found <04672> in the land <0776> of Egypt

<04714>,


and in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, for the corn <07668>

which


<0834> they bought <07666>: and Joseph <03130> brought <0935> the


money <03701> into Pharaoh's <06547> house <01004>.




 15  And when money <03701> failed <08552> in the land <0776> of


Egypt <04714>, and in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, all

<03605>


the Egyptians <04714> came <0935> unto Joseph <03130>, and said


<0559>, Give <03051> us bread <03899>: for why <04100> should we

die


<04191> in thy presence <05048>? for the money <03701> faileth


<0656>.




 16  And Joseph <03130> said <0559>, Give <03051> your cattle


<04735>; and I will give <05414> you for your cattle <04735>, if


<0518> money <03701> fail <0656>.




 17  And they brought <0935> their cattle <04735> unto Joseph


<03130>: and Joseph <03130> gave <05414> them bread <03899> [in


exchange] for horses <05483>, and for the flocks <06629>, and for


the cattle <04735> of the herds <01241>, and for the asses

<02543>:


and he fed <05095> them with bread <03899> for all <03605> their


cattle <04735> for that year <08141>.




 18  When that year <08141> was ended <08552>, they came <0935>

unto


him the second <08145> year <08141>, and said <0559> unto him, We


will not hide <03582> [it] from my lord <0113>, how that our

money


<03701> is spent <08552>; my lord <0113> also hath <0413> our

herds


<04735> of cattle <0929>; there is not ought left <07604> in the


sight <06440> of my lord <0113>, but our bodies <01472>, and our


lands <0127>:




 19  Wherefore <04100> shall we die <04191> before thine eyes


<05869>, both <01571> we and our land <0127>? buy <07069> us and

our


land <0127> for bread <03899>, and we and our land <0127> will be


servants <05650> unto Pharaoh <06547>: and give <05414> [us] seed


<02233>, that we may live <02421>, and not die <04191>, that the


land <0127> be not desolate <03456>.




 20  And Joseph <03130> bought <07069> all <03605> the land

<0127>


of Egypt <04714> for Pharaoh <06547>; for the Egyptians <04714>

sold


<04376> every man <0376> his field <07704>, because <03588> the


famine <07458> prevailed <02388> over <05921> them: so the land


<0776> became <01961> Pharaoh's <06547>.




 21  And as for the people <05971>, he removed <05674> them to


cities <05892> from [one] end <07097> of the borders <01366> of


Egypt <04714> even to the [other] end <07097> thereof.




 22  Only <07535> the land <0127> of the priests <03548> bought


<07069> he not; for the priests <03548> had a portion <02706>


[assigned them] of Pharaoh <06547>, and did eat <0398> their

portion


<02706> which <0834> Pharaoh <06547> gave <05414> them: wherefore


they sold <04376> not their lands <0127>.




 23  Then Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto the people <05971>,

Behold


<02009>, I have bought <07069> you this day <03117> and your land


<0127> for Pharaoh <06547>: lo <01883>, [here is] seed <02233>

for


you, and ye shall sow <02232> the land <0127>.




 24  And it shall come <01961> to pass in the increase <08393>,

that


ye shall give <05414> the fifth <02549> [part] unto Pharaoh

<06547>,


and four <0702> parts <03027> shall be your own, for seed

<02233> of


the field <07704>, and for your food <0400>, and for them of your


households <01004>, and for food <0398> for your little <02945>


ones.




 25  And they said <0559>, Thou hast saved our lives <02421>:

let us


find <04672> grace <02580> in the sight <05869> of my lord

<0113>,


and we will be Pharaoh's <06547> servants <05650>.




 26  And Joseph <03130> made <07760> it a law <02706> over

<05921>


the land <0127> of Egypt <04714> unto this <02088> day <03117>,


[that] Pharaoh <06547> should have the fifth <02569> [part];

except


<07535> the land <0127> of the priests <03548> only <0905>,

[which]


became <01961> not Pharaoh's <06547>.




 27. And Israel <03478> dwelt <03427> in the land <0776> of Egypt


<04714>, in the country <0776> of Goshen <01657>; and they had


possessions <0270> therein, and grew <06509>, and multiplied

<07235>


exceedingly <03966>.




 28  And Jacob <03290> lived <02421> in the land <0776> of Egypt


<04714> seventeen <07651> years <08141>: so the whole age

<03117> of


Jacob <03290> was an hundred <03967> forty <0705> and seven

<07651>


years <08141>.




 29  And the time <03117> drew nigh <07126> that Israel <03478>

must


die <04191>: and he called <07121> his son <01121> Joseph

<03130>,


and said <0559> unto him, If <0518> now <04994> I have found

<04672>


grace <02580> in thy sight <05869>, put <07760>, I pray <04994>


thee, thy hand <03027> under <08478> my thigh <03409>, and deal


<06213> kindly <02617> and truly <0571> with me; bury <06912> me


not, I pray <04994> thee, in Egypt <04714>:




 30  But I will lie <07901> with my fathers <01>, and thou shalt


carry <05375> me out of Egypt <04714>, and bury <06912> me in

their


buryingplace <06913>. And he said <0559>, I will do <06213> as

thou


hast said <01697>.




 31  And he said <0559>, Swear <07650> unto me. And he sware

<07650>


unto him. And Israel <03478> bowed <07812> himself upon the bed's


<04296> head <07218>.




Genesis  48




 1. And it came <01961> to pass after <0310> these <0428> things


<01697>, that [one] told <0559> Joseph <03130>, Behold <02009>,

thy


father <01> [is] sick <02470>: and he took <03947> with him his

two


<08147> sons <01121>, Manasseh <04519> and Ephraim <0669>.




 2  And [one] told <05046> Jacob <03290>, and said <0559>, Behold


<02009>, thy son <01121> Joseph <03130> cometh <0935> unto thee:

and


Israel <03478> strengthened <02388> himself, and sat <03427> upon


the bed <04296>.




 3  And Jacob <03290> said <0559> unto Joseph <03130>, God <0410>


Almighty <07706> appeared <07200> unto me at Luz <03870> in the

land


<0776> of Canaan <03667>, and blessed <01288> me,




 4  And said <0559> unto me, Behold <02005>, I will make thee


fruitful <06509>, and multiply <07235> thee, and I will make

<05414>


of thee a multitude <06951> of people <05971>; and will give

<05414>


this <02063> land <0776> to thy seed <02233> after <0310> thee

[for]


an everlasting <05769> possession <0272>.




 5  And now <06258> thy two <08147> sons <01121>, Ephraim <0669>

and


Manasseh <04519>, which were born <03205> unto thee in the land


<0776> of Egypt <04714> before <05704> I came <0935> unto thee

into


Egypt <04714>, [are] mine; as Reuben <07205> and Simeon <08095>,


they shall be mine.




 6  And thy issue <04138>, which <0834> thou begettest <03205>

after


<0310> them, shall be thine, [and] shall be called <07121> after


<05921> the name <08034> of their brethren <0251> in their


inheritance <05159>.




 7  And as for me, when I came <0935> from Padan <06307>, Rachel


<07354> died <04191> by me in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>

in


the way <01870>, when <05750> yet <05750> [there was] but a

little


<03530> way <0776> to come <0935> unto Ephrath <0672>: and I

buried


<06912> her there <08033> in the way <01870> of Ephrath <0672>;

the


same <01931> [is] Bethlehem <01035>.




 8. And Israel <03478> beheld <07200> Joseph's <03130> sons

<01121>,


and said <0559>, Who <04310> [are] these <0428>?




 9  And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto his father <01>, They

[are]


my sons <01121>, whom <0834> God <0430> hath given <05414> me in


this <02088> [place]. And he said <0559>, Bring <03947> them, I

pray


<04994> thee, unto me, and I will bless <01288> them.




 10  Now the eyes <05869> of Israel <03478> were dim <03513> for

age


<02207>, [so that] he could <03201> not see <07200>. And he

brought


<05066> them near <05066> unto him; and he kissed <05401> them,

and


embraced <02263> them.




 11  And Israel <03478> said <0559> unto Joseph <03130>, I had

not


thought <06419> to see <07200> thy face <06440>: and, lo <02009>,


God <0430> hath shewed <07200> me also <01571> thy seed <02233>.




 12  And Joseph <03130> brought <03318> them out from between


<05973> his knees <01290>, and he bowed <07812> himself with his


face <0639> to the earth <0776>.




 13  And Joseph <03130> took <03947> them both <08147>, Ephraim


<0669> in his right <03225> hand <03225> toward Israel's <03478>


left <08040> hand <08040>, and Manasseh <04519> in his left

<08040>


hand <08040> toward Israel's <03478> right <03225> hand <03225>,

and


brought <05066> [them] near <05066> unto him.




 14  And Israel <03478> stretched <07971> out his right <03225>

hand


<03225>, and laid <07896> [it] upon Ephraim's <0669> head

<07218>,


who <01931> [was] the younger <06810>, and his left <08040> hand


<08040> upon Manasseh's <04519> head <07218>, guiding his hands


<03027> wittingly <07919>; for Manasseh <04519> [was] the

firstborn


<01060>.




 15  And he blessed <01288> Joseph <03130>, and said <0559>, God


<0430>, before <06440> whom <0834> my fathers <01> Abraham <085>

and


Isaac <03327> did walk <01980>, the God <0430> which fed <07462>

me


all my life long <05750> unto this day <03117>,




 16  The Angel <04397> which redeemed <01350> me from all <03605>


evil <07451>, bless <01288> the lads <05288>; and let my name


<08034> be named <07121> on them, and the name <08034> of my

fathers


<01> Abraham <085> and Isaac <03327>; and let them grow <01711>

into


a multitude <07230> in the midst <07130> of the earth <0776>.




 17  And when Joseph <03130> saw <07200> that his father <01>

laid


<07896> his right <03225> hand <03027> upon the head <07218> of


Ephraim <0669>, it displeased him: and he held <08557> up his


father's <01> hand <03027>, to remove <05493> it from Ephraim's


<0669> head <07218> unto Manasseh's <04519> head <07218>.




 18  And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto his father <01>, Not so


<03651>, my father <01>: for this <02088> [is] the firstborn


<01060>; put <07760> thy right <03225> hand <03225> upon his head


<07218>.




 19  And his father <01> refused <03985>, and said <0559>, I know


<03045> [it], my son <01121>, I know <03045> [it]: he also

<01571>


shall become <01961> a people <05971>, and he also <01571> shall

be


great <01431>: but truly <0199> his younger <06996> brother

<0251>


shall be greater <01431> than he, and his seed <02233> shall

become


<01961> a multitude <04393> of nations <01471>.




 20  And he blessed <01288> them that day <03117>, saying <0559>,

 In


thee shall Israel <03478> bless <01288>, saying <0559>, God

<0430>


make <06213> thee as Ephraim <0669> and as Manasseh <04519>: and

he


set <07760> Ephraim <0669> before <06440> Manasseh <04519>.




 21  And Israel <03478> said <0559> unto Joseph <03130>, Behold


<02009>, I die <04191>: but God <0430> shall be with you, and

bring


<07725> you again <07725> unto the land <0776> of your fathers

<01>.




 22  Moreover I have given <05414> to thee one <0259> portion


<07926> above <05921> thy brethren <0251>, which <0834> I took


<03947> out of the hand <03027> of the Amorite <0567> with my

sword


<02719> and with my bow <07198>.




Genesis  49




 1. And Jacob <03290> called <07121> unto his sons <01121>, and

said


<0559>, Gather <0622> yourselves together, that I may tell

<05046>


you [that] which <0834> shall befall <07122> you in the last

<0319>


days <03117>.




 2  Gather <06908> yourselves together, and hear <08085>, ye sons


<01121> of Jacob <03290>; and hearken <08085> unto Israel <03478>


your father <01>.




 3  Reuben <07205>, thou [art] my firstborn <01060>, my might


<03581>, and the beginning <07225> of my strength <0202>, the


excellency <03499> of dignity <07613>, and the excellency

<03499> of


power <05794>:




 4  Unstable <06349> as water <04325>, thou shalt not excel

<03498>;


because <03588> thou wentest <05927> up to thy father's <01> bed


<04904>; then <0227> defiledst <02490> thou [it]: he went

<05927> up


to my couch <03326>.




 5. Simeon <08095> and Levi <03878> [are] brethren <0251>;


instruments <03627> of cruelty <02555> [are in] their habitations


<04380>.




 6  O my soul <05315>, come <0935> not thou into their secret


<05475>; unto their assembly <06951>, mine honour <03519>, be not


thou united <03161>: for in their anger <0639> they slew <02026>

a


man <0376>, and in their selfwill <07522> they digged <06131>

down


<06131> a wall <07794>.




 7  Cursed <0779> [be] their anger <0639>, for [it was] fierce


<05794>; and their wrath <05678>, for it was cruel <07185>: I

will


divide <02505> them in Jacob <03290>, and scatter <06327> them in


Israel <03478>.




 8. Judah <03063>, thou [art he] whom thy brethren <0251> shall


praise <03034>: thy hand <03027> [shall be] in the neck <06203>

of


thine enemies <0341>; thy father's <01> children <01121> shall

bow


<07812> down <07812> before thee.




 9  Judah <03063> [is] a lion's <0738> whelp <01482>: from the

prey


<02964>, my son <01121>, thou art gone <05927> up: he stooped


<03766> down, he couched <07257> as a lion <0738>, and as an old


<03833> lion <03833>; who <04310> shall rouse <06965> him up?




 10  The sceptre <07626> shall not depart <05493> from Judah


<03063>, nor a lawgiver <02710> from between <0996> his feet


<07272>, until Shiloh <07886> come <0935>; and unto him [shall]

the


gathering <03349> of the people <05971> [be].




 11  Binding <0681> his foal <05895> unto the vine <01612>, and

his


ass's <0860> colt <01121> unto the choice <08321> vine <08321>;

he


washed <03526> his garments <03830> in wine <03196>, and his

clothes


<05497> in the blood <01818> of grapes <06025>:




 12  His eyes <05869> [shall be] red <02447> with wine <03196>,

and


his teeth <08127> white <03836> with milk <02461>.




 13. Zebulun <02074> shall dwell <07931> at the haven <02348> of

the


sea <03220>; and he [shall be] for an haven <02348> of ships

<0591>;


and his border <03411> [shall be] unto Zidon <06721>.




 14  Issachar <03485> [is] a strong <01634> ass <02543> couching


<07257> down between <0996> two burdens <04942>:




 15  And he saw <07200> that rest <04496> [was] good <02896>, and


the land <0776> that [it was] pleasant <05276>; and bowed <05186>


his shoulder <07926> to bear <05445>, and became <01961> a

servant


<05647> unto tribute <04522>.




 16  Dan <01835> shall judge <01777> his people <05971>, as one


<0259> of the tribes <07626> of Israel <03478>.




 17  Dan <01835> shall be a serpent <05175> by the way <01870>,

an


adder <08207> in the path <0734>, that biteth <05391> the horse


<05483> heels <06119>, so that his rider <07392> shall fall

<05307>


backward <0268>.




 18  I have waited <06960> for thy salvation <03444>, O LORD


<03068>.




 19  Gad <01410>, a troop <01416> shall overcome <01464> him:

but he


shall overcome <01464> at the last <06119>.




 20  Out of Asher <0836> his bread <03899> [shall be] fat

<08082>,


and he shall yield <05414> royal <04428> dainties <04574>.




 21  Naphtali <05321> [is] a hind <0355> let loose <07971>: he


giveth <05414> goodly <08233> words <0561>.




 22. Joseph <03130> [is] a fruitful <06509> bough <01121>,

[even] a


fruitful <06509> bough <01121> by a well <05869>; [whose]

branches


<01121> run <06805> over <05921> the wall <07794>:




 23  The archers <01167> have sorely <04843> grieved <04843> him,


and shot <07232> [at him], and hated <07852> him:




 24  But his bow <07198> abode <03427> in strength <0386>, and

the


arms <02220> of his hands <03027> were made strong <06339> by the


hands <03027> of the mighty <046> [God] of Jacob <03290>; (from


thence <08033> [is] the shepherd <07462>, the stone <068> of

Israel


<03478>:)




 25  [Even] by the God <0410> of thy father <01>, who shall help


<05826> thee; and by the Almighty <07706>, who shall bless

<01288>


thee with blessings <01293> of heaven <08064> above <05921>,


blessings <01293> of the deep <08415> that lieth <07257> under


<08478>, blessings <01293> of the breasts <07699>, and of the

womb


<07356>:




 26  The blessings <01293> of thy father <01> have prevailed

<01396>


above <05921> the blessings <01293> of my progenitors <02029>

unto


the utmost bound <08379> of the everlasting <05769> hills

<01389>:


they shall be on the head <07218> of Joseph <03130>, and on the


crown <06936> of the head <06936> of him that was separate

<05139>


from his brethren <0251>.




 27  Benjamin <01144> shall ravin <02963> [as] a wolf <02061>: in


the morning <01242> he shall devour <0398> the prey <05706>, and

at


night <06153> he shall divide <02505> the spoil <07998>.




 28. All <03605> these <0428> [are] the twelve tribes <07626> of


Israel <03478>: and this <02063> [is it] that their father <01>


spake <01696> unto them, and blessed <01288> them; every one

<0376>


according <0834> to his blessing <01293> he blessed <01288> them.




 29  And he charged <06680> them, and said <0559> unto them, I

am to


be gathered <0622> unto my people <05971>: bury <06912> me with

my


fathers <01> in the cave <04631> that [is] in the field <07704>

of


Ephron <06085> the Hittite <02850>,




 30  In the cave <04631> that [is] in the field <07704> of

Machpelah


<04375>, which <0834> [is] before Mamre <04471>, in the land

<0776>


of Canaan <03667>, which <0834> Abraham <085> bought <07069> with


the field <07704> of Ephron <06085> the Hittite <02850> for a


possession <0272> of a buryingplace <06913>.




 31  There <08033> they buried <06912> Abraham <085> and Sarah


<08283> his wife <0802>; there <08033> they buried <06912> Isaac


<03327> and Rebekah <07259> his wife <0802>; and there <08033> I


buried <06912> Leah <03812>.




 32  The purchase <04736> of the field <07704> and of the cave


<04631> that [is] therein [was] from the children <01121> of Heth


<02845>.




 33  And when Jacob <03290> had made an end <03615> of commanding


<06680> his sons <01121>, he gathered <0622> up his feet <07272>


into <0413> the bed <04296>, and yielded <01478> up the ghost


<01478>, and was gathered <0622> unto his people <05971>.




Genesis  50




 1. And Joseph <03130> fell <05307> upon his father's <01> face


<06440>, and wept <01058> upon him, and kissed <05401> him.




 2  And Joseph <03130> commanded <06680> his servants <05650> the


physicians <07495> to embalm <02590> his father <01>: and the


physicians <07495> embalmed <02590> Israel <03478>.




 3  And forty <0705> days <03117> were fulfilled <04390> for him;


for so <03651> are fulfilled <04390> the days <03117> of those

which


are embalmed <02590>: and the Egyptians <04714> mourned <01058>

for


him threescore <07657> and ten days <03117>.




 4  And when the days <03117> of his mourning <01086> were past


<05674>, Joseph <03130> spake <01696> unto the house <01004> of


Pharaoh <06547>, saying <0559>, If <0518> now <04994> I have

found


<04672> grace <02580> in your eyes <05869>, speak <01696>, I pray


<04994> you, in the ears <0241> of Pharaoh <06547>, saying

<0559>,




 5  My father <01> made me swear <07650>, saying <0559>, Lo

<02009>,


I die <04191>: in my grave <06913> which <0834> I have digged


<03738> for me in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, there

<08033>


shalt thou bury <06912> me. Now <06258> therefore let me go

<05927>


up, I pray <04994> thee, and bury <06912> my father <01>, and I

will


come <07725> again <07725>.




 6  And Pharaoh <06547> said <0559>, Go <05927> up, and bury

<06912>


thy father <01>, according as he made thee swear <07650>.




 7. And Joseph <03130> went <05927> up to bury <06912> his father


<01>: and with him went <05927> up all <03605> the servants

<05650>


of Pharaoh <06547>, the elders <02205> of his house <01004>, and

all


<03605> the elders <02205> of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>,




 8  And all <03605> the house <01004> of Joseph <03130>, and his


brethren <0251>, and his father's <01> house <01004>: only

<07535>


their little <02945> ones, and their flocks <06629>, and their

herds


<01241>, they left <05800> in the land <0776> of Goshen <01657>.




 9  And there went <05927> up with him both <01571> chariots

<07393>


and horsemen <06571>: and it was a very <03966> great <03515>


company <04264>.




 10  And they came <0935> to the threshingfloor <01637> of Atad


<0329>, which <0834> [is] beyond <05676> Jordan <03383>, and

there


<08033> they mourned <05594> with a great <01419> and very

<03966>


sore <03515> lamentation <04553>: and he made <06213> a mourning


<060> for his father <01> seven <07651> days <03117>.




 11  And when the inhabitants <03427> of the land <0776>, the


Canaanites <03669>, saw <07200> the mourning <060> in the floor


<01637> of Atad <0329>, they said <0559>, This <02088> [is] a


grievous <03515> mourning <060> to the Egyptians <04714>:

wherefore


the name <08034> of it was called <07121> Abelmizraim <067>,

which


<0834> [is] beyond <05676> Jordan <03383>.




 12  And his sons <01121> did <06213> unto him according <03651>

as


he commanded <06680> them:




 13  For his sons <01121> carried <05375> him into the land

<0776>


of Canaan <03667>, and buried <06912> him in the cave <04631> of

the


field <07704> of Machpelah <04375>, which <0834> Abraham <085>


bought <07069> with the field <07704> for a possession <0272> of

a


buryingplace <06913> of Ephron <06085> the Hittite <02850>,

before


Mamre <04471>.




 14  And Joseph <03130> returned <07725> into Egypt <04714>, he,

and


his brethren <0251>, and all <03605> that went <05927> up with

him


to bury <06912> his father <01>, after <0310> he had buried

<06912>


his father <01>.




 15. And when Joseph's <03130> brethren <0251> saw <07200> that


their father <01> was dead <04191>, they said <0559>, Joseph

<03130>


will peradventure <03863> hate <07852> us, and will certainly


requite <07725> us all <03605> the evil <07451> which <0834> we

did


<01580> unto him.




 16  And they sent a messenger <06680> unto Joseph <03130>,

saying


<0559>, Thy father <01> did command <06680> before <06440> he

died


<04194>, saying <0559>,




 17  So <03541> shall ye say <0559> unto Joseph <03130>, Forgive


<05375>, I pray <0577> thee now <04994>, the trespass <06588> of

thy


brethren <0251>, and their sin <02403>; for they did <01580> unto


thee evil <07451>: and now <04994>, we pray <04994> thee, forgive


<05375> the trespass <06588> of the servants <05650> of the God


<0430> of thy father <01>. And Joseph <03130> wept <01058> when

they


spake <01696> unto him.




 18  And his brethren <0251> also <01571> went <03212> and fell


<05307> down before his face <06440>; and they said <0559>,

Behold


<02009>, we [be] thy servants <05650>.




 19  And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto them, Fear <03372> not:

for


[am] I in the place of God <0430>?




 20  But as for you, ye thought <02803> evil <07451> against

<05921>


me; [but] God <0430> meant <02803> it unto good <02896>, to bring


<06213> to pass <06213>, as [it is] this <02088> day <03117>, to


save <02421> much <07227> people <05971> alive <02421>.




 21  Now <06258> therefore fear <03372> ye not: I will nourish


<03557> you, and your little <02945> ones. And he comforted

<05162>


them, and spake <01696> kindly unto them.




 22. And Joseph <03130> dwelt <03427> in Egypt <04714>, he, and

his


father's <01> house <01004>: and Joseph <03130> lived <02421> an


hundred <03967> and ten <06235> years <08141>.




 23  And Joseph <03130> saw <07200> Ephraim's <0669> children


<01121> of the third <08029> [generation]: the children <01121>

also


<01571> of Machir <04353> the son <01121> of Manasseh <04519>

were


brought <03205> up upon Joseph's <03130> knees <01290>.




 24  And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto his brethren <0251>, I

die


<04191>: and God <0430> will surely visit <06485> you, and bring


<05927> you out of this <02063> land <0776> unto the land <0776>


which <0834> he sware <07650> to Abraham <085>, to Isaac <03327>,


and to Jacob <03290>.




 25  And Joseph <03130> took an oath <07650> of the children

<01121>


of Israel <03478>, saying <0559>, God <0430> will surely visit


<06485> you, and ye shall carry <05927> up my bones <06106> from


hence <02088>.




 26  So Joseph <03130> died <04191>, [being] an hundred <03967>

and


ten <06235> years <08141> old <01121>: and they embalmed <02590>


him, and he was put <03455> in a coffin <0727> in Egypt <04714>.
