Gen 01:01 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.




Gen 01:02 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness


[was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon


the face of the waters.




Gen 01:03 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.




Gen 01:04 And God saw the light, that [it was] good: and God

divided


the light from the darkness.




Gen 01:05 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he

called


Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.




Gen 01:06 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of

the


waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.




Gen 01:07 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters

which


[were] under the firmament from the waters which [were] above the


firmament: and it was so.




Gen 01:08 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening

and


the morning were the second day.




Gen 01:09 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be

gathered


together unto one place, and let the dry [land] appear: and it

was


so.




Gen 01:10 And God called the dry [land] Earth; and the gathering


together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that [it was]


good.




Gen 01:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb


yielding seed, [and] the fruit tree yielding fruit after his

kind,


whose seed [is] in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.




Gen 01:12 And the earth brought forth grass, [and] herb yielding


seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed

[was]


in itself, after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good.




Gen 01:13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.




Gen 01:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of

the


heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for

signs,


and for seasons, and for days, and years:




Gen 01:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the

heaven


to give light upon the earth: and it was so.




Gen 01:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to

rule


the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: [he made] the

stars


also.




Gen 01:17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give


light upon the earth,




Gen 01:18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to

divide


the light from the darkness: and God saw that [it was] good.




Gen 01:19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.




Gen 01:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the


moving creature that hath life, and fowl [that] may fly above the


earth in the open firmament of heaven.




Gen 01:21 And God created great whales, and every living creature


that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after

their


kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that [it


was] good.




Gen 01:22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and

multiply,


and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the

earth.




Gen 01:23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.




Gen 01:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living


creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of


the earth after his kind: and it was so.




Gen 01:25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and


cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the


earth after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good.




Gen 01:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our


likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea,

and


over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the


earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the

earth.




Gen 01:27 So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of

God


created he him; male and female created he them.




Gen 01:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be

fruitful,


and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have


dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air,

and


over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.




Gen 01:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb

bearing


seed, which [is] upon the face of all the earth, and every tree,

in


the which [is] the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it

shall be


for meat.




Gen 01:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of

the


air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein

[there


is] life, [I have given] every green herb for meat: and it was

so.




Gen 01:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold,

[it


was] very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth

day.




Gen 02:01 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all

the


host of them.




Gen 02:02 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had


made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he


had made.




Gen 02:03 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it:


because that in it he had rested from all his work which God

created


and made.




Gen 02:04 These [are] the generations of the heavens and of the


earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made

the


earth and the heavens,




Gen 02:05 And every plant of the field before it was in the

earth,


and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had

not


caused it to rain upon the earth, and [there was] not a man to

till


the ground.




Gen 02:06 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered

the


whole face of the ground.




Gen 02:07 And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the

ground,


and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man

became a


living soul.




Gen 02:08 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and


there he put the man whom he had formed.




Gen 02:09 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every

tree


that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of

life


also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of

good


and evil.




Gen 02:10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and

from


thence it was parted, and became into four heads.




Gen 02:11 The name of the first [is] Pison: that [is] it which


compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where [there is] gold;




Gen 02:12 And the gold of that land [is] good: there [is]

bdellium


and the onyx stone.




Gen 02:13 And the name of the second river [is] Gihon: the same

[is]


it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.




Gen 02:14 And the name of the third river [is] Hiddekel: that

[is]


it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river

[is]


Euphrates.




Gen 02:15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the

garden


of Eden to dress it and to keep it.




Gen 02:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every

tree


of the garden thou mayest freely eat:




Gen 02:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou


shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou


shalt surely die.




Gen 02:18 And the LORD God said, [It is] not good that the man


should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.




Gen 02:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast

of


the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought [them] unto

Adam


to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every


living creature, that [was] the name thereof.




Gen 02:20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of

the


air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not


found an help meet for him.




Gen 02:21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam,


and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the

flesh


instead thereof;




Gen 02:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man,

made


he a woman, and brought her unto the man.




Gen 02:23 And Adam said, This [is] now bone of my bones, and

flesh


of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken

out of


Man.




Gen 02:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother,

and


shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.




Gen 02:25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and

were


not ashamed.




Gen 03:01 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the


field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman,

Yea,


hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?




Gen 03:02 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the


fruit of the trees of the garden:




Gen 03:03 But of the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of


the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall

ye


touch it, lest ye die.




Gen 03:04 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not

surely


die:




Gen 03:05 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then


your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good

and


evil.




Gen 03:06 And when the woman saw that the tree [was] good for

food,


and that it [was] pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired

to


make [one] wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and


gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.




Gen 03:07 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew

that


they [were] naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made


themselves aprons.




Gen 03:08 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the


garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid

themselves


from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the

garden.




Gen 03:09 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him,


Where [art] thou?




Gen 03:10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was


afraid, because I [was] naked; and I hid myself.




Gen 03:11 And he said, Who told thee that thou [wast] naked? Hast


thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou

shouldest


not eat?




Gen 03:12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest [to be]

with


me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.




Gen 03:13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What [is] this


[that] thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled

me,


and I did eat.




Gen 03:14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou

hast


done this, thou [art] cursed above all cattle, and above every

beast


of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou

eat


all the days of thy life:




Gen 03:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and


between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou


shalt bruise his heel.




Gen 03:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy

sorrow


and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children;

and


thy desire [shall be] to thy husband, and he shall rule over

thee.




Gen 03:17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto


the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I


commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed [is] the


ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat [of] it all the

days


of thy life;




Gen 03:18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee;

and


thou shalt eat the herb of the field;




Gen 03:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till

thou


return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust

thou


[art], and unto dust shalt thou return.




Gen 03:20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was

the


mother of all living.




Gen 03:21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make

coats


of skins, and clothed them.




Gen 03:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as

one of


us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand,

and


take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:




Gen 03:23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden

of


Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.




Gen 03:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of

the


garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every


way, to keep the way of the tree of life.




Gen 04:01 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare


Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.




Gen 04:02 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a

keeper


of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.




Gen 04:03 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain

brought


of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.




Gen 04:04 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his

flock


and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to


his offering:




Gen 04:05 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect.

And


Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.




Gen 04:06 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and

why


is thy countenance fallen?




Gen 04:07 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if


thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee [shall

be]


his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.




Gen 04:08 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to


pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel


his brother, and slew him.




Gen 04:09 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where [is] Abel thy

brother?


And he said, I know not: [Am] I my brother's keeper?




Gen 04:10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy


brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.




Gen 04:11 And now [art] thou cursed from the earth, which hath


opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;




Gen 04:12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth


yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt

thou


be in the earth.




Gen 04:13 And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment [is] greater


than I can bear.




Gen 04:14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face

of


the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a


fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass,


[that] every one that findeth me shall slay me.




Gen 04:15 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth


Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD

set a


mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.




Gen 04:16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and

dwelt


in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.




Gen 04:17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare

Enoch:


and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the


name of his son, Enoch.




Gen 04:18 And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael:

and


Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.




Gen 04:19 And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one


[was] Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.




Gen 04:20 And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as

dwell in


tents, and [of such as have] cattle.




Gen 04:21 And his brother's name [was] Jubal: he was the father

of


all such as handle the harp and organ.




Gen 04:22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructor of


every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain

[was]


Naamah.




Gen 04:23 And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear

my


voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have

slain


a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.




Gen 04:24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech

seventy


and sevenfold.




Gen 04:25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and


called his name Seth: For God, [said she], hath appointed me

another


seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.




Gen 04:26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he


called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the


LORD.




Gen 05:01 This [is] the book of the generations of Adam. In the

day


that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;




Gen 05:02 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and


called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.




Gen 05:03 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat

[a


son] in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name

Seth:




Gen 05:04 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were

eight


hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:




Gen 05:05 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and


thirty years: and he died.




Gen 05:06 And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat

Enos:




Gen 05:07 And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and

seven


years, and begat sons and daughters:




Gen 05:08 And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve


years: and he died.




Gen 05:09 And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan:




Gen 05:10 And Enos lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and


fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters:




Gen 05:11 And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five

years:


and he died.




Gen 05:12 And Cainan lived seventy years, and begat Mahalaleel:




Gen 05:13 And Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel eight

hundred


and forty years, and begat sons and daughters:




Gen 05:14 And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten


years: and he died.




Gen 05:15 And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat


Jared:




Gen 05:16 And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred


and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters:




Gen 05:17 And all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred

ninety


and five years: and he died.




Gen 05:18 And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he


begat Enoch:




Gen 05:19 And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred

years,


and begat sons and daughters:




Gen 05:20 And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and

two


years: and he died.




Gen 05:21 And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat


Methuselah:




Gen 05:22 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah

three


hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:




Gen 05:23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and


five years:




Gen 05:24 And Enoch walked with God: and he [was] not; for God

took


him.




Gen 05:25 And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years,


and begat Lamech:




Gen 05:26 And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven

hundred


eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters:




Gen 05:27 And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty

and


nine years: and he died.




Gen 05:28 And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and


begat a son:




Gen 05:29 And he called his name Noah, saying, This [same] shall


comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of

the


ground which the LORD hath cursed.




Gen 05:30 And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred

ninety


and five years, and begat sons and daughters:




Gen 05:31 And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy

and


seven years: and he died.




Gen 05:32 And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat

Shem,


Ham, and Japheth.




Gen 06:01 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the


face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,




Gen 06:02 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they


[were] fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.




Gen 06:03 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive

with


man, for that he also [is] flesh: yet his days shall be an

hundred


and twenty years.




Gen 06:04 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also


after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of

men,


and they bare [children] to them, the same [became] mighty men

which


[were] of old, men of renown.




Gen 06:05 And God saw that the wickedness of man [was] great in

the


earth, and [that] every imagination of the thoughts of his heart


[was] only evil continually.




Gen 06:06 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the


earth, and it grieved him at his heart.




Gen 06:07 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have

created


from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping


thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have


made them.




Gen 06:08 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.




Gen 06:09 These [are] the generations of Noah: Noah was a just

man


[and] perfect in his generations, [and] Noah walked with God.




Gen 06:10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.




Gen 06:11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth

was


filled with violence.




Gen 06:12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was


corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.




Gen 06:13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come


before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them;

and,


behold, I will destroy them with the earth.




Gen 06:14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make

in


the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.




Gen 06:15 And this [is the fashion] which thou shalt make it

[of]:


The length of the ark [shall be] three hundred cubits, the

breadth


of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.




Gen 06:16 A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit

shalt


thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in

the


side thereof; [with] lower, second, and third [stories] shalt

thou


make it.




Gen 06:17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon


the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein [is] the breath of life,


from under heaven; [and] every thing that [is] in the earth shall


die.




Gen 06:18 But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou

shalt


come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy

sons'


wives with thee.




Gen 06:19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every


[sort] shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep [them] alive with


thee; they shall be male and female.




Gen 06:20 Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their

kind,


of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every


[sort] shall come unto thee, to keep [them] alive.




Gen 06:21 And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and


thou shalt gather [it] to thee; and it shall be for food for

thee,


and for them.




Gen 06:22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him,

 so


did he.




Gen 07:01 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy

house


into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this


generation.




Gen 07:02 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens,


the male and his female: and of beasts that [are] not clean by

two,


the male and his female.




Gen 07:03 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the


female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.




Gen 07:04 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon

the


earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance

that I


have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.




Gen 07:05 And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded


him.




Gen 07:06 And Noah [was] six hundred years old when the flood of


waters was upon the earth.




Gen 07:07 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his


sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the


flood.




Gen 07:08 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that [are] not clean,

and


of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,




Gen 07:09 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the

male


and the female, as God had commanded Noah.




Gen 07:10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters

of


the flood were upon the earth.




Gen 07:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second


month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all

the


fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven


were opened.




Gen 07:12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty


nights.




Gen 07:13 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham,

and


Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives

of


his sons with them, into the ark;




Gen 07:14 They, and every beast after his kind, and all the

cattle


after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the


earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird

of


every sort.




Gen 07:15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of


all flesh, wherein [is] the breath of life.




Gen 07:16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all


flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.




Gen 07:17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the


waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above

the


earth.




Gen 07:18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly

upon


the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.




Gen 07:19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth;

and


all the high hills, that [were] under the whole heaven, were


covered.




Gen 07:20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the


mountains were covered.




Gen 07:21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of


fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing

that


creepeth upon the earth, and every man:




Gen 07:22 All in whose nostrils [was] the breath of life, of all


that [was] in the dry [land], died.




Gen 07:23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon


the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping


things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from

the


earth: and Noah only remained [alive], and they that [were] with

him


in the ark.




Gen 07:24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and


fifty days.




Gen 08:01 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and

all


the cattle that [was] with him in the ark: and God made a wind to


pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;




Gen 08:02 The fountains also of the deep and the windows of

heaven


were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;




Gen 08:03 And the waters returned from off the earth continually:


and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were


abated.




Gen 08:04 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the


seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.




Gen 08:05 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth


month: in the tenth [month], on the first [day] of the month,

were


the tops of the mountains seen.




Gen 08:06 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah


opened the window of the ark which he had made:




Gen 08:07 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro,


until the waters were dried up from off the earth.




Gen 08:08 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the

waters


were abated from off the face of the ground;




Gen 08:09 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot,

and


she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters [were] on the


face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took

her,


and pulled her in unto him into the ark.




Gen 08:10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent


forth the dove out of the ark;




Gen 08:11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in


her mouth [was] an olive leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the


waters were abated from off the earth.




Gen 08:12 And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the


dove; which returned not again unto him any more.




Gen 08:13 And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first

year,


in the first [month], the first [day] of the month, the waters

were


dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the


ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.




Gen 08:14 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth

day of


the month, was the earth dried.




Gen 08:15 And God spake unto Noah, saying,




Gen 08:16 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons,

and


thy sons' wives with thee.




Gen 08:17 Bring forth with thee every living thing that [is] with


thee, of all flesh, [both] of fowl, and of cattle, and of every


creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed


abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the


earth.




Gen 08:18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and

his


sons' wives with him:




Gen 08:19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl,

[and]


whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth


out of the ark.




Gen 08:20 And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of

every


clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt

offerings on


the altar.




Gen 08:21 And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said

in


his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's


sake; for the imagination of man's heart [is] evil from his

youth;


neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have


done.




Gen 08:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and

cold


and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not

cease.




Gen 09:01 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them,

Be


fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.




Gen 09:02 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon


every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon

all


that moveth [upon] the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea;


into your hand are they delivered.




Gen 09:03 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you;

even


as the green herb have I given you all things.




Gen 09:04 But flesh with the life thereof, [which is] the blood


thereof, shall ye not eat.




Gen 09:05 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at

the


hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at


the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.




Gen 09:06 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be


shed: for in the image of God made he man.




Gen 09:07 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth


abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.




Gen 09:08 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him,

saying,


Gen 09:09 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and

with


your seed after you;




Gen 09:10 And with every living creature that [is] with you, of

the


fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you;

from


all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.




Gen 09:11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither

shall


all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither


shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.




Gen 09:12 And God said, This [is] the token of the covenant

which I


make between me and you and every living creature that [is] with


you, for perpetual generations:




Gen 09:13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a

token


of a covenant between me and the earth.




Gen 09:14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over

the


earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:




Gen 09:15 And I will remember my covenant, which [is] between me

and


you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall

no


more become a flood to destroy all flesh.




Gen 09:16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon


it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and


every living creature of all flesh that [is] upon the earth.




Gen 09:17 And God said unto Noah, This [is] the token of the


covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that


[is] upon the earth.




Gen 09:18 And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were


Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham [is] the father of Canaan.




Gen 09:19 These [are] the three sons of Noah: and of them was the


whole earth overspread.




Gen 09:20 And Noah began [to be] an husbandman, and he planted a


vineyard:




Gen 09:21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was


uncovered within his tent.




Gen 09:22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his


father, and told his two brethren without.




Gen 09:23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid [it] upon


both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the

nakedness


of their father; and their faces [were] backward, and they saw

not


their father's nakedness.




Gen 09:24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger


son had done unto him.




Gen 09:25 And he said, Cursed [be] Canaan; a servant of servants


shall he be unto his brethren.




Gen 09:26 And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Shem; and

Canaan


shall be his servant.




Gen 09:27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the

tents


of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.




Gen 09:28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty


years.




Gen 09:29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty


years: and he died.




Gen 10:01 Now these [are] the generations of the sons of Noah,

Shem,


Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.




Gen 10:02 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and


Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.




Gen 10:03 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and


Togarmah.




Gen 10:04 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim,

and


Dodanim.




Gen 10:05 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in

their


lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their


nations.




Gen 10:06 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and


Canaan.




Gen 10:07 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah,

and


Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.




Gen 10:08 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in

the


earth.




Gen 10:09 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is


said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.




Gen 10:10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech,

and


Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.




Gen 10:11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded

Nineveh,


and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,




Gen 10:12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same [is] a

great


city.




Gen 10:13 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and


Naphtuhim,




Gen 10:14 And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came

Philistim,)


and Caphtorim.




Gen 10:15 And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth,




Gen 10:16 And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,




Gen 10:17 And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,




Gen 10:18 And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite:

and


afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.




Gen 10:19 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as

thou


comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and

Gomorrah,


and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.




Gen 10:20 These [are] the sons of Ham, after their families,

after


their tongues, in their countries, [and] in their nations.




Gen 10:21 Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber,


the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were [children]

born.




Gen 10:22 The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad,

and


Lud, and Aram.




Gen 10:23 And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and


Mash.




Gen 10:24 And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.




Gen 10:25 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one [was]


Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's

name


[was] Joktan.




Gen 10:26 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth,


and Jerah,




Gen 10:27 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,




Gen 10:28 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,




Gen 10:29 And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these [were] the


sons of Joktan.




Gen 10:30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto


Sephar a mount of the east.




Gen 10:31 These [are] the sons of Shem, after their families,

after


their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.




Gen 10:32 These [are] the families of the sons of Noah, after

their


generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations

divided


in the earth after the flood.




Gen 11:01 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one


speech.




Gen 11:02 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east,

that


they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.




Gen 11:03 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick,


and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime


had they for mortar.




Gen 11:04 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a

tower,


whose top [may reach] unto heaven; and let us make us a name,

lest


we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.




Gen 11:05 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower,


which the children of men builded.




Gen 11:06 And the LORD said, Behold, the people [is] one, and

they


have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing


will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.




Gen 11:07 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their

language,


that they may not understand one another's speech.




Gen 11:08 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the


face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.




Gen 11:09 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the

LORD


did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence


did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.




Gen 11:10 These [are] the generations of Shem: Shem [was] an

hundred


years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:




Gen 11:11 And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred

years,


and begat sons and daughters.




Gen 11:12 And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat

Salah:




Gen 11:13 And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred

and


three years, and begat sons and daughters.




Gen 11:14 And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:




Gen 11:15 And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and

three


years, and begat sons and daughters.




Gen 11:16 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:




Gen 11:17 And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and


thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.




Gen 11:18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:




Gen 11:19 And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine


years, and begat sons and daughters.




Gen 11:20 And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:




Gen 11:21 And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and

seven


years, and begat sons and daughters.




Gen 11:22 And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:




Gen 11:23 And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years,


and begat sons and daughters.




Gen 11:24 And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:




Gen 11:25 And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and


nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.




Gen 11:26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor,

and


Haran.




Gen 11:27 Now these [are] the generations of Terah: Terah begat


Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.




Gen 11:28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of

his


nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.




Gen 11:29 And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of

Abram's


wife [was] Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the

daughter


of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.




Gen 11:30 But Sarai was barren; she [had] no child.




Gen 11:31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran

his


son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife;

and


they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the


land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.




Gen 11:32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years:

and


Terah died in Haran.




Gen 12:01 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy


country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto

a


land that I will show thee:




Gen 12:02 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will

bless


thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:




Gen 12:03 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him

that


curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be


blessed.




Gen 12:04 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and


Lot went with him: and Abram [was] seventy and five years old

when


he departed out of Haran.




Gen 12:05 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's

son,


and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls

that


they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the

land of


Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.




Gen 12:06 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of


Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite [was] then in

the


land.




Gen 12:07 And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy

seed


will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the

LORD,


who appeared unto him.




Gen 12:08 And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east

of


Bethel, and pitched his tent, [having] Bethel on the west, and

Hai


on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and

called


upon the name of the LORD.




Gen 12:09 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.




Gen 12:10 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down


into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine [was] grievous in the


land.




Gen 12:11 And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter

into


Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that


thou [art] a fair woman to look upon:




Gen 12:12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians

shall


see thee, that they shall say, This [is] his wife: and they will


kill me, but they will save thee alive.




Gen 12:13 Say, I pray thee, thou [art] my sister: that it may be


well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of

thee.




Gen 12:14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into

Egypt,


the Egyptians beheld the woman that she [was] very fair.




Gen 12:15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her


before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.




Gen 12:16 And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had


sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants,


and she asses, and camels.




Gen 12:17 And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great


plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.




Gen 12:18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What [is] this

[that]


thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she [was]


thy wife?




Gen 12:19 Why saidst thou, She [is] my sister? so I might have

taken


her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take [her],

and go


thy way.




Gen 12:20 And Pharaoh commanded [his] men concerning him: and

they


sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.




Gen 13:01 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and

all


that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.




Gen 13:02 And Abram [was] very rich in cattle, in silver, and in


gold.




Gen 13:03 And he went on his journeys from the south even to

Bethel,


unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between


Bethel and Hai;




Gen 13:04 Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at


the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.




Gen 13:05 And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and


herds, and tents.




Gen 13:06 And the land was not able to bear them, that they might


dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could


not dwell together.




Gen 13:07 And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's


cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the


Perizzite dwelled then in the land.




Gen 13:08 And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray


thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy

herdmen;


for we [be] brethren.




Gen 13:09 [Is] not the whole land before thee? separate thyself,

I


pray thee, from me: if [thou wilt take] the left hand, then I

will


go to the right; or if [thou depart] to the right hand, then I

will


go to the left.




Gen 13:10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of


Jordan, that it [was] well watered every where, before the LORD


destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, [even] as the garden of the LORD,

like


the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.




Gen 13:11 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot


journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the


other.




Gen 13:12 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in


the cities of the plain, and pitched [his] tent toward Sodom.




Gen 13:13 But the men of Sodom [were] wicked and sinners before

the


LORD exceedingly.




Gen 13:14 And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was

separated


from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where

thou


art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:




Gen 13:15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give

it,


and to thy seed for ever.




Gen 13:16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so

that


if a man can number the dust of the earth, [then] shall thy seed


also be numbered.




Gen 13:17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in


the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.




Gen 13:18 Then Abram removed [his] tent, and came and dwelt in

the


plain of Mamre, which [is] in Hebron, and built there an altar

unto


the LORD.




Gen 14:01 And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of


Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and

Tidal


king of nations;




Gen 14:02 [That these] made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with


Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king

of


Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.




Gen 14:03 All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim,


which is the salt sea.




Gen 14:04 Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the


thirteenth year they rebelled.




Gen 14:05 And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the


kings that [were] with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth


Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh

Kiriathaim,




Gen 14:06 And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan,

which


[is] by the wilderness.




Gen 14:07 And they returned, and came to Enmishpat, which [is]


Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the


Amorites, that dwelt in Hazezontamar.




Gen 14:08 And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of


Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the


king of Bela (the same [is] Zoar;) and they joined battle with

them


in the vale of Siddim;




Gen 14:09 With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal

king of


nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar;


four kings with five.




Gen 14:10 And the vale of Siddim [was full of] slimepits; and the


kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that


remained fled to the mountain.




Gen 14:11 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and

all


their victuals, and went their way.




Gen 14:12 And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in


Sodom, and his goods, and departed.




Gen 14:13 And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the


Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother

of


Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these [were] confederate with


Abram.




Gen 14:14 And when Abram heard that his brother was taken

captive,


he armed his trained [servants], born in his own house, three


hundred and eighteen, and pursued [them] unto Dan.




Gen 14:15 And he divided himself against them, he and his

servants,


by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which

[is] on


the left hand of Damascus.




Gen 14:16 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought

again


his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the

people.




Gen 14:17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his


return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that


[were] with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which [is] the king's


dale.




Gen 14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and


wine: and he [was] the priest of the most high God.




Gen 14:19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed [be] Abram of the


most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:




Gen 14:20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered


thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.




Gen 14:21 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the


persons, and take the goods to thyself.




Gen 14:22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up

mine


hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven

and


earth,




Gen 14:23 That I will not [take] from a thread even to a


shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that [is] thine,


lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:




Gen 14:24 Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the


portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre;

let


them take their portion.




Gen 15:01 After these things the word of the LORD came unto

Abram in


a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I [am] thy shield, [and] thy


exceeding great reward.




Gen 15:02 And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me,

seeing I


go childless, and the steward of my house [is] this Eliezer of


Damascus?




Gen 15:03 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed:


and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.




Gen 15:04 And, behold, the word of the LORD [came] unto him,

saying,


This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of


thine own bowels shall be thine heir.




Gen 15:05 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now

toward


heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and

he


said unto him, So shall thy seed be.




Gen 15:06 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him

for


righteousness.




Gen 15:07 And he said unto him, I [am] the LORD that brought thee


out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.




Gen 15:08 And he said, Lord GOD, whereby shall I know that I

shall


inherit it?




Gen 15:09 And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years


old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years


old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.




Gen 15:10 And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the


midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds


divided he not.




Gen 15:11 And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram


drove them away.




Gen 15:12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon


Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.




Gen 15:13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed


shall be a stranger in a land [that is] not theirs, and shall

serve


them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;




Gen 15:14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I

judge:


and afterward shall they come out with great substance.




Gen 15:15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt

be


buried in a good old age.




Gen 15:16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither

again:


for the iniquity of the Amorites [is] not yet full.




Gen 15:17 And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and

it


was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that

passed


between those pieces.




Gen 15:18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram,


saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of


Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:




Gen 15:19 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,




Gen 15:20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,




Gen 15:21 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the

Girgashites,


and the Jebusites.




Gen 16:01 Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she

had


an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name [was] Hagar.




Gen 16:02 And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath


restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it

may


be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the


voice of Sarai.




Gen 16:03 And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the

Egyptian,


after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave

her


to her husband Abram to be his wife.




Gen 16:04 And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when

she


saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her

eyes.




Gen 16:05 And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong [be] upon thee: I

have


given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had


conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me

and


thee.




Gen 16:06 But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid [is] in thy


hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly


with her, she fled from her face.




Gen 16:07 And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of

water


in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.




Gen 16:08 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou?

and


whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my


mistress Sarai.




Gen 16:09 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy


mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.




Gen 16:10 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will

multiply


thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for

multitude.




Gen 16:11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou


[art] with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name


Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.




Gen 16:12 And he will be a wild man; his hand [will be] against


every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell

in


the presence of all his brethren.




Gen 16:13 And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto

her,


Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after

him


that seeth me?




Gen 16:14 Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, [it


is] between Kadesh and Bered.




Gen 16:15 And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's


name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.




Gen 16:16 And Abram [was] fourscore and six years old, when Hagar


bare Ishmael to Abram.




Gen 17:01 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD


appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I [am] the Almighty God;

walk


before me, and be thou perfect.




Gen 17:02 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and

will


multiply thee exceedingly.




Gen 17:03 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him,


saying,




Gen 17:04 As for me, behold, my covenant [is] with thee, and thou


shalt be a father of many nations.




Gen 17:05 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but

thy


name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made


thee.




Gen 17:06 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will

make


nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.




Gen 17:07 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee

and


thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting


covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.




Gen 17:08 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee,

the


land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an


everlasting possession; and I will be their God.




Gen 17:09 And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant


therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.




Gen 17:10 This [is] my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me

and


you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be


circumcised.




Gen 17:11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin;

and it


shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.




Gen 17:12 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised

among


you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the


house, or bought with money of any stranger, which [is] not of

thy


seed.




Gen 17:13 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought

with


thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in


your flesh for an everlasting covenant.




Gen 17:14 And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his


foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his


people; he hath broken my covenant.




Gen 17:15 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou


shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah [shall] her name [be].




Gen 17:16 And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her:


yea, I will bless her, and she shall be [a mother] of nations;

kings


of people shall be of her.




Gen 17:17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said

in


his heart, Shall [a child] be born unto him that is an hundred

years


old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?




Gen 17:18 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live


before thee!




Gen 17:19 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son

indeed;


and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my

covenant


with him for an everlasting covenant, [and] with his seed after

him.




Gen 17:20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have


blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him


exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a


great nation.




Gen 17:21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which

Sarah


shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.




Gen 17:22 And he left off talking with him, and God went up from


Abraham.




Gen 17:23 And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were

born


in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male


among the men of Abraham's house; and circumcised the flesh of

their


foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had said unto him.




Gen 17:24 And Abraham [was] ninety years old and nine, when he

was


circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.




Gen 17:25 And Ishmael his son [was] thirteen years old, when he

was


circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.




Gen 17:26 In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and

Ishmael


his son.




Gen 17:27 And all the men of his house, born in the house, and


bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.




Gen 18:01 And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre:

and


he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;




Gen 18:02 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men


stood by him: and when he saw [them], he ran to meet them from

the


tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,




Gen 18:03 And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy


sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: Gen 18:04

Let a


little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and

rest


yourselves under the tree:




Gen 18:05 And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your


hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to


your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.




Gen 18:06 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and

said,


Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead [it], and

make


cakes upon the hearth.




Gen 18:07 And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf

tender


and good, and gave [it] unto a young man; and he hasted to dress

it.




Gen 18:08 And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had


dressed, and set [it] before them; and he stood by them under the


tree, and they did eat.




Gen 18:09 And they said unto him, Where [is] Sarah thy wife? And

he


said, Behold, in the tent.




Gen 18:10 And he said, I will certainly return unto thee

according


to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son.

And


Sarah heard [it] in the tent door, which [was] behind him.




Gen 18:11 Now Abraham and Sarah [were] old [and] well stricken in


age; [and] it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.




Gen 18:12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After

I am


waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?




Gen 18:13 And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah

laugh,


saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?




Gen 18:14 Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time

appointed


I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah


shall have a son.




Gen 18:15 Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was


afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.




Gen 18:16 And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward

Sodom:


and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.




Gen 18:17 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing


which I do;




Gen 18:18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and

mighty


nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?




Gen 18:19 For I know him, that he will command his children and

his


household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to

do


justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that


which he hath spoken of him.




Gen 18:20 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and

Gomorrah


is great, and because their sin is very grievous;




Gen 18:21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done


altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me;

and if


not, I will know.




Gen 18:22 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went


toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.




Gen 18:23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy


the righteous with the wicked?




Gen 18:24 Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city:


wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty


righteous that [are] therein?




Gen 18:25 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay

the


righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as

the


wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the

earth


do right?




Gen 18:26 And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous


within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.




Gen 18:27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken


upon me to speak unto the Lord, which [am but] dust and ashes:




Gen 18:28 Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty

righteous:


wilt thou destroy all the city for [lack of] five? And he said,

If I


find there forty and five, I will not destroy [it].




Gen 18:29 And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure


there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do [it]


for forty's sake.




Gen 18:30 And he said [unto him], Oh let not the Lord be angry,

and


I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there.

And he


said, I will not do [it], if I find thirty there.




Gen 18:31 And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak


unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there.

And


he said, I will not destroy [it] for twenty's sake.




Gen 18:32 And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will


speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there.

And


he said, I will not destroy [it] for ten's sake.




Gen 18:33 And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left


communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.




Gen 19:01 And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot

sat in


the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing [them] rose up to meet them;

and


he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;




Gen 19:02 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you,


into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your

feet,


and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said,

Nay;


but we will abide in the street all night.




Gen 19:03 And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in

unto


him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and

did


bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.




Gen 19:04 But before they lay down, the men of the city, [even]

the


men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all

the


people from every quarter:




Gen 19:05 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where

[are]


the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us,


that we may know them.




Gen 19:06 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the

door


after him,




Gen 19:07 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.




Gen 19:08 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known

man;


let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as


[is] good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for


therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.




Gen 19:09 And they said, Stand back. And they said [again], This

one


[fellow] came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now

will


we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore

upon


the man, [even] Lot, and came near to break the door.




Gen 19:10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into

the


house to them, and shut to the door.




Gen 19:11 And they smote the men that [were] at the door of the


house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied


themselves to find the door.




Gen 19:12 And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides?

son


in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou

hast in


the city, bring [them] out of this place:




Gen 19:13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of

them is


waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent

us


to destroy it.




Gen 19:14 And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which


married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place;

for


the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked


unto his sons in law.




Gen 19:15 And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened

Lot,


saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are

here;


lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.




Gen 19:16 And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand,


and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two


daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him


forth, and set him without the city.




Gen 19:17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth


abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee,


neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest


thou be consumed.




Gen 19:18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:




Gen 19:19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight,

and


thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast showed unto me in


saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some

evil


take me, and I die:




Gen 19:20 Behold now, this city [is] near to flee unto, and it

[is]


a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, ([is] it not a little

one?)


and my soul shall live.




Gen 19:21 And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee

concerning


this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the

which


thou hast spoken.




Gen 19:22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing

till


thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called


Zoar.




Gen 19:23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into


Zoar.




Gen 19:24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah


brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;




Gen 19:25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and

all


the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the

ground.




Gen 19:26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she

became a


pillar of salt.




Gen 19:27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place

where


he stood before the LORD:




Gen 19:28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all


the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the

country


went up as the smoke of a furnace.




Gen 19:29 And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of

the


plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the

midst of


the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot

dwelt.




Gen 19:30 And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain,


and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar:

and


he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.




Gen 19:31 And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father

[is]


old, and [there is] not a man in the earth to come in unto us

after


the manner of all the earth:




Gen 19:32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will

lie


with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.




Gen 19:33 And they made their father drink wine that night: and

the


firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not


when she lay down, nor when she arose.




Gen 19:34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn

said


unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let

us


make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, [and] lie

with


him, that we may preserve seed of our father.




Gen 19:35 And they made their father drink wine that night also:

and


the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when

she


lay down, nor when she arose.




Gen 19:36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their


father.




Gen 19:37 And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab:


the same [is] the father of the Moabites unto this day.




Gen 19:38 And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his

name


Benammi: the same [is] the father of the children of Ammon unto

this


day.




Gen 20:01 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south


country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in


Gerar.




Gen 20:02 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She [is] my sister:


and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.




Gen 20:03 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and

said to


him, Behold, thou [art but] a dead man, for the woman which thou


hast taken; for she [is] a man's wife.




Gen 20:04 But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord,


wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?




Gen 20:05 Said he not unto me, She [is] my sister? and she, even

she


herself said, He [is] my brother: in the integrity of my heart

and


innocency of my hands have I done this.




Gen 20:06 And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou


didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld

thee


from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch

her.




Gen 20:07 Now therefore restore the man [his] wife; for he [is] a


prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if


thou restore [her] not, know thou that thou shalt surely die,

thou,


and all that [are] thine.




Gen 20:08 Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and

called


all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and

the


men were sore afraid.




Gen 20:09 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What


hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou


hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done


deeds unto me that ought not to be done.




Gen 20:10 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that


thou hast done this thing?




Gen 20:11 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of


God [is] not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's


sake.




Gen 20:12 And yet indeed [she is] my sister; she [is] the

daughter


of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became

my


wife.




Gen 20:13 And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from

my


father's house, that I said unto her, This [is] thy kindness

which


thou shalt show unto me; at every place whither we shall come,

say


of me, He [is] my brother.




Gen 20:14 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants,

and


womenservants, and gave [them] unto Abraham, and restored him

Sarah


his wife.




Gen 20:15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land [is] before thee:


dwell where it pleaseth thee.




Gen 20:16 And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy

brother a


thousand [pieces] of silver: behold, he [is] to thee a covering

of


the eyes, unto all that [are] with thee, and with all [other]:

thus


she was reproved.




Gen 20:17 So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech,

and


his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare [children].




Gen 20:18 For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the

house


of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.




Gen 21:01 And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD


did unto Sarah as he had spoken.




Gen 21:02 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old


age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.




Gen 21:03 And Abraham called the name of his son that was born

unto


him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.




Gen 21:04 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days


old, as God had commanded him.




Gen 21:05 And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son

Isaac


was born unto him.




Gen 21:06 And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, [so that]

all


that hear will laugh with me.




Gen 21:07 And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that

Sarah


should have given children suck? for I have born [him] a son in

his


old age.




Gen 21:08 And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a


great feast the [same] day that Isaac was weaned.




Gen 21:09 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she

had


born unto Abraham, mocking.




Gen 21:10 Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this

bondwoman


and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir

with my


son, [even] with Isaac.




Gen 21:11 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight

because


of his son.




Gen 21:12 And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in

thy


sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all

that


Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac


shall thy seed be called.




Gen 21:13 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a

nation,


because he [is] thy seed.




Gen 21:14 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took

bread,


and a bottle of water, and gave [it] unto Hagar, putting [it] on

her


shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and


wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.




Gen 21:15 And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the


child under one of the shrubs.




Gen 21:16 And she went, and sat her down over against [him] a

good


way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not see the


death of the child. And she sat over against [him], and lift up

her


voice, and wept.




Gen 21:17 And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of

God


called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth

thee,


Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he


[is].




Gen 21:18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand;

for I


will make him a great nation.




Gen 21:19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water;

and


she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad

drink.




Gen 21:20 And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the


wilderness, and became an archer.




Gen 21:21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother


took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.




Gen 21:22 And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and


Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying,


God [is] with thee in all that thou doest:




Gen 21:23 Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt

not


deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son:

[but]


according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt

do


unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.




Gen 21:24 And Abraham said, I will swear.




Gen 21:25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of

water,


which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.




Gen 21:26 And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing:


neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I [of it], but to

day.




Gen 21:27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto


Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.




Gen 21:28 And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by


themselves.




Gen 21:29 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What [mean] these

seven


ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?




Gen 21:30 And he said, For [these] seven ewe lambs shalt thou

take


of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have

digged


this well.




Gen 21:31 Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; because there


they sware both of them.




Gen 21:32 Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba: then Abimelech


rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they


returned into the land of the Philistines.




Gen 21:33 And [Abraham] planted a grove in Beersheba, and called


there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.




Gen 21:34 And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many

days.




Gen 22:01 And it came to pass after these things, that God did

tempt


Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, [here]

I


[am].




Gen 22:02 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only [son] Isaac,


whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer


him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I


will tell thee of.




Gen 22:03 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled

his


ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son,

and


clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto


the place of which God had told him.




Gen 22:04 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and

saw


the place afar off.




Gen 22:05 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with


the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come


again to you.




Gen 22:06 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and

laid


[it] upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a


knife; and they went both of them together.




Gen 22:07 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My


father: and he said, Here [am] I, my son. And he said, Behold the


fire and the wood: but where [is] the lamb for a burnt offering?




Gen 22:08 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a

lamb


for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.




Gen 22:09 And they came to the place which God had told him of;

and


Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and

bound


Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.




Gen 22:10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the

knife


to slay his son.




Gen 22:11 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of

heaven,


and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here [am] I.




Gen 22:12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither

do


thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God,


seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only [son] from me.




Gen 22:13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold


behind [him] a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham


went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in


the stead of his son.




Gen 22:14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh:

 as


it is said [to] this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be

seen.




Gen 22:15 And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of


heaven the second time,




Gen 22:16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for


because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son,


thine only [son]:




Gen 22:17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying

I


will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the

sand


which [is] upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the

gate


of his enemies;




Gen 22:18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be


blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.




Gen 22:19 So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose

up


and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.




Gen 22:20 And it came to pass after these things, that it was

told


Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto


thy brother Nahor;




Gen 22:21 Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the


father of Aram,




Gen 22:22 And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and


Bethuel.




Gen 22:23 And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear

to


Nahor, Abraham's brother.




Gen 22:24 And his concubine, whose name [was] Reumah, she bare

also


Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.




Gen 23:01 And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years

old:


[these were] the years of the life of Sarah.




Gen 23:02 And Sarah died in Kirjatharba; the same [is] Hebron in

the


land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep

for


her.




Gen 23:03 And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake

unto


the sons of Heth, saying,




Gen 23:04 I [am] a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a


possession of a buryingplace with you, that I may bury my dead

out


of my sight.




Gen 23:05 And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto


him,




Gen 23:06 Hear us, my lord: thou [art] a mighty prince among us:

in


the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall


withhold from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy


dead.




Gen 23:07 And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people

of


the land, [even] to the children of Heth.




Gen 23:08 And he communed with them, saying, If it be your mind

that


I should bury my dead out of my sight; hear me, and entreat for

me


to Ephron the son of Zohar,




Gen 23:09 That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he

hath,


which [is] in the end of his field; for as much money as it is

worth


he shall give it me for a possession of a buryingplace amongst

you.




Gen 23:10 And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth: and Ephron


the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of


Heth, [even] of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying,




Gen 23:11 Nay, my lord, hear me: the field give I thee, and the

cave


that [is] therein, I give it thee; in the presence of the sons

of my


people give I it thee: bury thy dead.




Gen 23:12 And Abraham bowed down himself before the people of the


land.




Gen 23:13 And he spake unto Ephron in the audience of the people

of


the land, saying, But if thou [wilt give it], I pray thee, hear

me:


I will give thee money for the field; take [it] of me, and I will


bury my dead there.




Gen 23:14 And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,




Gen 23:15 My lord, hearken unto me: the land [is worth] four

hundred


shekels of silver; what [is] that betwixt me and thee? bury


therefore thy dead.




Gen 23:16 And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed

to


Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the

sons of


Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current [money] with the


merchant.




Gen 23:17 And the field of Ephron, which [was] in Machpelah,

which


[was] before Mamre, the field, and the cave which [was] therein,

and


all the trees that [were] in the field, that [were] in all the


borders round about, were made sure




Gen 23:18 Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the


children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his

city.




Gen 23:19 And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the

cave


of the field of Machpelah before Mamre: the same [is] Hebron in

the


land of Canaan.




Gen 23:20 And the field, and the cave that [is] therein, were

made


sure unto Abraham for a possession of a buryingplace by the sons

of


Heth.




Gen 24:01 And Abraham was old, [and] well stricken in age: and

the


LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.




Gen 24:02 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house,


that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand

under my


thigh:




Gen 24:03 And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of

heaven,


and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my


son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:




Gen 24:04 But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred,

and


take a wife unto my son Isaac.




Gen 24:05 And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman

will


not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring

thy


son again unto the land from whence thou camest?




Gen 24:06 And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring

not


my son thither again.




Gen 24:07 The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's


house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me,

and


that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land;

he


shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife

unto my


son from thence.




Gen 24:08 And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee,

then


thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son

thither


again.




Gen 24:09 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham


his master, and sware to him concerning that matter.




Gen 24:10 And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his


master, and departed; for all the goods of his master [were] in

his


hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of

Nahor.




Gen 24:11 And he made his camels to kneel down without the city

by a


well of water at the time of the evening, [even] the time that

women


go out to draw [water].




Gen 24:12 And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray

thee,


send me good speed this day, and show kindness unto my master


Abraham.




Gen 24:13 Behold, I stand [here] by the well of water; and the


daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:




Gen 24:14 And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I

shall


say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she


shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: [let the


same be] she [that] thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac;

and


thereby shall I know that thou hast showed kindness unto my

master.




Gen 24:15 And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that,


behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah,


the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her


shoulder.




Gen 24:16 And the damsel [was] very fair to look upon, a virgin,


neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and


filled her pitcher, and came up.




Gen 24:17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I

pray


thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.




Gen 24:18 And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let

down


her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.




Gen 24:19 And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I

will


draw [water] for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.




Gen 24:20 And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the

trough,


and ran again unto the well to draw [water], and drew for all his


camels.




Gen 24:21 And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit


whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.




Gen 24:22 And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking,

that


the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two


bracelets for her hands of ten [shekels] weight of gold;




Gen 24:23 And said, Whose daughter [art] thou? tell me, I pray

thee:


is there room [in] thy father's house for us to lodge in?




Gen 24:24 And she said unto him, I [am] the daughter of Bethuel

the


son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.




Gen 24:25 She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and


provender enough, and room to lodge in.




Gen 24:26 And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the

LORD.




Gen 24:27 And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of my master


Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and

his


truth: I [being] in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my


master's brethren.




Gen 24:28 And the damsel ran, and told [them of] her mother's

house


these things.




Gen 24:29 And Rebekah had a brother, and his name [was] Laban:

and


Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well.




Gen 24:30 And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and

bracelets


upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah

his


sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the


man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well.




Gen 24:31 And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD;

wherefore


standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room

for


the camels.




Gen 24:32 And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his


camels, and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to


wash his feet, and the men's feet that [were] with him.




Gen 24:33 And there was set [meat] before him to eat: but he

said, I


will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak

on.




Gen 24:34 And he said, I [am] Abraham's servant.




Gen 24:35 And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is


become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and

silver,


and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and

asses.




Gen 24:36 And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master when


she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.




Gen 24:37 And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not

take a


wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land

I


dwell:




Gen 24:38 But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my


kindred, and take a wife unto my son.




Gen 24:39 And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will

not


follow me.




Gen 24:40 And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will


send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt

take a


wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house:




Gen 24:41 Then shalt thou be clear from [this] my oath, when thou


comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee [one], thou

shalt be


clear from my oath.




Gen 24:42 And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD

God of


my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:




Gen 24:43 Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall

come to


pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw [water], and I

say


to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to


drink;




Gen 24:44 And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also

draw


for thy camels: [let] the same [be] the woman whom the LORD hath


appointed out for my master's son.




Gen 24:45 And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold,


Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went


down unto the well, and drew [water]: and I said unto her, Let me


drink, I pray thee.




Gen 24:46 And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her


[shoulder], and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink

also:


so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.




Gen 24:47 And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter [art] thou?

And


she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare


unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets


upon her hands.




Gen 24:48 And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and


blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in

the


right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son.




Gen 24:49 And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my

master,


tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand,

or


to the left.




Gen 24:50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing


proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.

Gen


24:51 Behold, Rebekah [is] before thee, take [her], and go, and

let


her be thy master's son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken.




Gen 24:52 And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard


their words, he worshipped the LORD, [bowing himself] to the

earth.




Gen 24:53 And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and

jewels


of gold, and raiment, and gave [them] to Rebekah: he gave also to


her brother and to her mother precious things.




Gen 24:54 And they did eat and drink, he and the men that [were]


with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning,


and he said, Send me away unto my master.




Gen 24:55 And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel

abide


with us [a few] days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.




Gen 24:56 And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD

hath


prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.




Gen 24:57 And they said, We will call the damsel, and inquire at

her


mouth.




Gen 24:58 And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou

go


with this man? And she said, I will go.




Gen 24:59 And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse,


and Abraham's servant, and his men.




Gen 24:60 And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou [art]


our sister, be thou [the mother] of thousands of millions, and

let


thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.




Gen 24:61 And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon

the


camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and

went


his way.




Gen 24:62 And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for

he


dwelt in the south country.




Gen 24:63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the


eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the


camels [were] coming.




Gen 24:64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac,


she lighted off the camel.




Gen 24:65 For she [had] said unto the servant, What man [is] this


that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant [had] said,

 It


[is] my master: therefore she took a veil, and covered herself.




Gen 24:66 And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.




Gen 24:67 And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and


took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and

Isaac


was comforted after his mother's [death].




Gen 25:01 Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name [was]


Keturah.




Gen 25:02 And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and


Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.




Gen 25:03 And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of

Dedan


were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.




Gen 25:04 And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch,

and


Abidah, and Eldaah. All these [were] the children of Keturah.




Gen 25:05 And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.




Gen 25:06 But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had,


Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while

he


yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.




Gen 25:07 And these [are] the days of the years of Abraham's life


which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.




Gen 25:08 Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old


age, an old man, and full [of years]; and was gathered to his


people.




Gen 25:09 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave

of


Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite,


which [is] before Mamre;




Gen 25:10 The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth:


there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.




Gen 25:11 And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that

God


blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi.




Gen 25:12 Now these [are] the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's

son,


whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham:




Gen 25:13 And these [are] the names of the sons of Ishmael, by

their


names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael,


Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,




Gen 25:14 And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,




Gen 25:15 Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:




Gen 25:16 These [are] the sons of Ishmael, and these [are] their


names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes


according to their nations.




Gen 25:17 And these [are] the years of the life of Ishmael, an


hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and


died; and was gathered unto his people.




Gen 25:18 And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that [is] before


Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: [and] he died in the

presence


of all his brethren.




Gen 25:19 And these [are] the generations of Isaac, Abraham's

son:


Abraham begat Isaac:




Gen 25:20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to


wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the

sister to


Laban the Syrian.




Gen 25:21 And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she


[was] barren: and the LORD was entreated of him, and Rebekah his


wife conceived.




Gen 25:22 And the children struggled together within her; and she


said, If [it be] so, why [am] I thus? And she went to inquire of

the


LORD.




Gen 25:23 And the LORD said unto her, Two nations [are] in thy

womb,


and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and


[the one] people shall be stronger than [the other] people; and

the


elder shall serve the younger.




Gen 25:24 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled,

behold,


[there were] twins in her womb.




Gen 25:25 And the first came out red, all over like an hairy


garment; and they called his name Esau.




Gen 25:26 And after that came his brother out, and his hand took


hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac

[was]


threescore years old when she bare them.




Gen 25:27 And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a

man of


the field; and Jacob [was] a plain man, dwelling in tents.




Gen 25:28 And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of [his]

venison:


but Rebekah loved Jacob.




Gen 25:29 And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field,

and


he [was] faint:




Gen 25:30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that


same red [pottage]; for I [am] faint: therefore was his name

called


Edom.




Gen 25:31 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.




Gen 25:32 And Esau said, Behold, I [am] at the point to die: and


what profit shall this birthright do to me?




Gen 25:33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto


him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.




Gen 25:34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles;

and he


did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau

despised


[his] birthright.




Gen 26:01 And there was a famine in the land, beside the first


famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto


Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.




Gen 26:02 And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down

into


Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:




Gen 26:03 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will


bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all

these


countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham


thy father;




Gen 26:04 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of


heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in

thy


seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;




Gen 26:05 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my

charge,


my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.




Gen 26:06 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:




Gen 26:07 And the men of the place asked [him] of his wife; and

he


said, She [is] my sister: for he feared to say, [She is] my wife;


lest, [said he], the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah;


because she [was] fair to look upon.




Gen 26:08 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long

time,


that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window,

and


saw, and, behold, Isaac [was] sporting with Rebekah his wife.




Gen 26:09 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a

surety


she [is] thy wife: and how saidst thou, She [is] my sister? And


Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.




Gen 26:10 And Abimelech said, What [is] this thou hast done unto

us?


one of the people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou


shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us.




Gen 26:11 And Abimelech charged all [his] people, saying, He that


toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.




Gen 26:12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same


year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.




Gen 26:13 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew

until


he became very great:




Gen 26:14 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of

herds,


and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.




Gen 26:15 For all the wells which his father's servants had

digged


in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped

them,


and filled them with earth.




Gen 26:16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art


much mightier than we.




Gen 26:17 And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the


valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.




Gen 26:18 And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they

had


digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had


stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their

names


after the names by which his father had called them.




Gen 26:19 And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found

there


a well of springing water.




Gen 26:20 And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's

herdmen,


saying, The water [is] ours: and he called the name of the well


Esek; because they strove with him.




Gen 26:21 And they digged another well, and strove for that also:


and he called the name of it Sitnah.




Gen 26:22 And he removed from thence, and digged another well;

and


for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth;

and


he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be


fruitful in the land.




Gen 26:23 And he went up from thence to Beersheba.




Gen 26:24 And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and

said, I


[am] the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I [am] with

thee,


and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant

Abraham's


sake.




Gen 26:25 And he builded an altar there, and called upon the

name of


the LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac's servants


digged a well.




Gen 26:26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath

one of


his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army.




Gen 26:27 And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me,

seeing


ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?




Gen 26:28 And they said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with


thee: and we said, Let there be now an oath betwixt us, [even]


betwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee;




Gen 26:29 That thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched

thee,


and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent

thee


away in peace: thou [art] now the blessed of the LORD.




Gen 26:30 And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.




Gen 26:31 And they rose up betimes in the morning, and sware one

to


another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in


peace.




Gen 26:32 And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants


came, and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and


said unto him, We have found water.




Gen 26:33 And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city


[is] Beersheba unto this day.




Gen 26:34 And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife

Judith


the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of


Elon the Hittite:




Gen 26:35 Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.




Gen 27:01 And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his

eyes


were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest

son,


and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, [here

am]


I.




Gen 27:02 And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day

of


my death:




Gen 27:03 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy

quiver


and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me [some] venison;




Gen 27:04 And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring

[it]


to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die.




Gen 27:05 And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And


Esau went to the field to hunt [for] venison, [and] to bring

[it].




Gen 27:06 And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I


heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,




Gen 27:07 Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may


eat, and bless thee before the LORD before my death.




Gen 27:08 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that


which I command thee.




Gen 27:09 Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good


kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy

father,


such as he loveth:




Gen 27:10 And thou shalt bring [it] to thy father, that he may

eat,


and that he may bless thee before his death.




Gen 27:11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my


brother [is] a hairy man, and I [am] a smooth man:




Gen 27:12 My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem

to


him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a


blessing.




Gen 27:13 And his mother said unto him, Upon me [be] thy curse,

my


son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me [them].




Gen 27:14 And he went, and fetched, and brought [them] to his


mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father

loved.




Gen 27:15 And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau,


which [were] with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her


younger son:




Gen 27:16 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his


hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:




Gen 27:17 And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she

had


prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.




Gen 27:18 And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and

he


said, Here [am] I; who [art] thou, my son?




Gen 27:19 And Jacob said unto his father, I [am] Esau thy

firstborn;


I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit

and


eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.




Gen 27:20 And Isaac said unto his son, How [is it] that thou hast


found [it] so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy

God


brought [it] to me.




Gen 27:21 And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee,

that I


may feel thee, my son, whether thou [be] my very son Esau or not.




Gen 27:22 And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt


him, and said, The voice [is] Jacob's voice, but the hands [are]

the


hands of Esau.




Gen 27:23 And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy,

 as


his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him.




Gen 27:24 And he said, [Art] thou my very son Esau? And he said,

I


[am].




Gen 27:25 And he said, Bring [it] near to me, and I will eat of

my


son's venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought [it]

near


to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine, and he drank.




Gen 27:26 And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and


kiss me, my son.




Gen 27:27 And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the

smell


of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my

son


[is] as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed:




Gen 27:28 Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the


fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:




Gen 27:29 Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be


lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to

thee:


cursed [be] every one that curseth thee, and blessed [be] he that


blesseth thee.




Gen 27:30 And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end

of


blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the

presence


of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his

hunting.




Gen 27:31 And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it unto

his


father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of


his son's venison, that thy soul may bless me.




Gen 27:32 And Isaac his father said unto him, Who [art] thou?

And he


said, I [am] thy son, thy firstborn Esau.




Gen 27:33 And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who?

where


[is] he that hath taken venison, and brought [it] me, and I have


eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea,

[and] he


shall be blessed.




Gen 27:34 And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried

with


a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless


me, [even] me also, O my father.




Gen 27:35 And he said, Thy brother came with subtlety, and hath


taken away thy blessing.




Gen 27:36 And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath


supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and,


behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast

thou


not reserved a blessing for me?




Gen 27:37 And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have

made


him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for

servants;


and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do

now


unto thee, my son?




Gen 27:38 And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one

blessing,


my father? bless me, [even] me also, O my father. And Esau

lifted up


his voice, and wept.




Gen 27:39 And Isaac his father answered and said unto him,

Behold,


thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of


heaven from above;




Gen 27:40 And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy


brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the


dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.




Gen 27:41 And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith

his


father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of

mourning


for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.




Gen 27:42 And these words of Esau her elder son were told to


Rebekah: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said


unto him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth

comfort


himself, [purposing] to kill thee.




Gen 27:43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; and arise, flee

thou


to Laban my brother to Haran;




Gen 27:44 And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's fury


turn away;




Gen 27:45 Until thy brother's anger turn away from thee, and he


forget [that] which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and


fetch thee from thence: why should I be deprived also of you

both in


one day?




Gen 27:46 And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life

because


of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters

of


Heth, such as these [which are] of the daughters of the land,

what


good shall my life do me?




Gen 28:01 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged

him,


and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of


Canaan.




Gen 28:02 Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy


mother's father; and take thee a wife from thence of the

daughters


of Laban thy mother's brother.




Gen 28:03 And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful,

and


multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;




Gen 28:04 And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to

thy


seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou

art a


stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.




Gen 28:05 And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padanaram

unto


Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's


and Esau's mother.




Gen 28:06 When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent

him


away to Padanaram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he


blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a

wife


of the daughters of Canaan;




Gen 28:07 And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and

was


gone to Padanaram;




Gen 28:08 And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased

not


Isaac his father;




Gen 28:09 Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives

which


he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the

sister of


Nebajoth, to be his wife.




Gen 28:10 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward

Haran.




Gen 28:11 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there

all


night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that


place, and put [them for] his pillows, and lay down in that

place to


sleep.




Gen 28:12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the

earth,


and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God


ascending and descending on it.




Gen 28:13 And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I [am]

the


LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land


whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;




Gen 28:14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and

thou


shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the

north,


and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the

families


of the earth be blessed.




Gen 28:15 And, behold, I [am] with thee, and will keep thee in

all


[places] whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this


land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done [that] which I


have spoken to thee of.




Gen 28:16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely

the


LORD is in this place; and I knew [it] not.




Gen 28:17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful [is] this

place!


this [is] none other but the house of God, and this [is] the

gate of


heaven.




Gen 28:18 And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the

stone


that he had put [for] his pillows, and set it up [for] a pillar,

and


poured oil upon the top of it.




Gen 28:19 And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the

name


of that city [was called] Luz at the first.




Gen 28:20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me,

and


will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to

eat,


and raiment to put on,




Gen 28:21 So that I come again to my father's house in peace;

then


shall the LORD be my God:




Gen 28:22 And this stone, which I have set [for] a pillar, shall

be


God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely

give


the tenth unto thee.




Gen 29:01 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land

of


the people of the east.




Gen 29:02 And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo,


there [were] three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that

well


they watered the flocks: and a great stone [was] upon the well's


mouth.




Gen 29:03 And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they

rolled


the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put

the


stone again upon the well's mouth in his place.




Gen 29:04 And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence [be] ye?

And


they said, Of Haran [are] we.




Gen 29:05 And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor?

And


they said, We know [him].




Gen 29:06 And he said unto them, [Is] he well? And they said, [He


is] well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.




Gen 29:07 And he said, Lo, [it is] yet high day, neither [is it]


time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the


sheep, and go [and] feed [them].




Gen 29:08 And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be

gathered


together, and [till] they roll the stone from the well's mouth;

then


we water the sheep.




Gen 29:09 And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her


father's sheep: for she kept them.




Gen 29:10 And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the

daughter of


Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's


brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the

well's


mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.




Gen 29:11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and


wept.




Gen 29:12 And Jacob told Rachel that he [was] her father's

brother,


and that he [was] Rebekah's son: and she ran and told her father.




Gen 29:13 And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of

Jacob


his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and


kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all


these things.




Gen 29:14 And Laban said to him, Surely thou [art] my bone and my


flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.




Gen 29:15 And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou [art] my

brother,


shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what

[shall]


thy wages [be]?




Gen 29:16 And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder

[was]


Leah, and the name of the younger [was] Rachel.




Gen 29:17 Leah [was] tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and

well


favoured.




Gen 29:18 And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee

seven


years for Rachel thy younger daughter.




Gen 29:19 And Laban said, [It is] better that I give her to thee,


than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.




Gen 29:20 And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they

seemed


unto him [but] a few days, for the love he had to her.




Gen 29:21 And Jacob said unto Laban, Give [me] my wife, for my

days


are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.




Gen 29:22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place,

and


made a feast.




Gen 29:23 And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah

his


daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.




Gen 29:24 And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid


[for] an handmaid.




Gen 29:25 And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it

[was]


Leah: and he said to Laban, What [is] this thou hast done unto

me?


did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou


beguiled me?




Gen 29:26 And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country,

to


give the younger before the firstborn.




Gen 29:27 Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for

the


service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.




Gen 29:28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave

him


Rachel his daughter to wife also.




Gen 29:29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his

handmaid


to be her maid.




Gen 29:30 And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also

Rachel


more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.




Gen 29:31 And when the LORD saw that Leah [was] hated, he opened

her


womb: but Rachel [was] barren.




Gen 29:32 And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his


name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my


affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.




Gen 29:33 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said,

Because


the LORD hath heard that I [was] hated, he hath therefore given

me


this [son] also: and she called his name Simeon.




Gen 29:34 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now


this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born

him


three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.




Gen 29:35 And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said,

Now


will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and


left bearing.




Gen 30:01 And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children,


Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children,

or


else I die.




Gen 30:02 And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he

said,


[Am] I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of

the


womb?




Gen 30:03 And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her;

and


she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by

her.




Gen 30:04 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob


went in unto her.




Gen 30:05 And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.




Gen 30:06 And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also

heard


my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name


Dan.




Gen 30:07 And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare

Jacob a


second son.




Gen 30:08 And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled


with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name


Naphtali.




Gen 30:09 When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took

Zilpah


her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.




Gen 30:10 And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son.




Gen 30:11 And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name


Gad.




Gen 30:12 And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a second son.




Gen 30:13 And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call

me


blessed: and she called his name Asher.




Gen 30:14 And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found


mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah.

Then


Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's

mandrakes.




Gen 30:15 And she said unto her, [Is it] a small matter that thou


hast taken my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son's


mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with

thee to


night for thy son's mandrakes.




Gen 30:16 And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and

Leah


went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto me; for


surely I have hired thee with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with


her that night.




Gen 30:17 And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and

bare


Jacob the fifth son.




Gen 30:18 And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I

have


given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.




Gen 30:19 And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son.




Gen 30:20 And Leah said, God hath endued me [with] a good dowry;

now


will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons:

and


she called his name Zebulun.




Gen 30:21 And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name


Dinah.




Gen 30:22 And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her,

and


opened her womb.




Gen 30:23 And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath


taken away my reproach:




Gen 30:24 And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD

shall


add to me another son.




Gen 30:25 And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that


Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own


place, and to my country. Gen 30:26 Give [me] my wives and my


children, for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou


knowest my service which I have done thee.




Gen 30:27 And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found


favour in thine eyes, [tarry: for] I have learned by experience

that


the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake.




Gen 30:28 And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give

[it].




Gen 30:29 And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served

thee,


and how thy cattle was with me.




Gen 30:30 For [it was] little which thou hadst before I [came],

and


it is [now] increased unto a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed


thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own


house also?




Gen 30:31 And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said,

Thou


shalt not give me any thing: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I


will again feed [and] keep thy flock.




Gen 30:32 I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from


thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown

cattle


among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats:

and


[of such] shall be my hire.




Gen 30:33 So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to

come,


when it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that

[is]


not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the

sheep,


that shall be counted stolen with me.




Gen 30:34 And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according

to


thy word.




Gen 30:35 And he removed that day the he goats that were


ringstreaked and spotted, and all the she goats that were

speckled


and spotted, [and] every one that had [some] white in it, and all


the brown among the sheep, and gave [them] into the hand of his


sons.




Gen 30:36 And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and

Jacob:


and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.




Gen 30:37 And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the

hazel


and chestnut tree; and pilled white streaks in them, and made the


white appear which [was] in the rods.




Gen 30:38 And he set the rods which he had pilled before the

flocks


in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to


drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.




Gen 30:39 And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought


forth cattle ringstreaked, speckled, and spotted.




Gen 30:40 And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of

the


flocks toward the ringstreaked, and all the brown in the flock of


Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not


unto Laban's cattle.




Gen 30:41 And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did


conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle

in


the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.




Gen 30:42 But when the cattle were feeble, he put [them] not in:

so


the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.




Gen 30:43 And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle,


and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.




Gen 31:01 And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob

hath


taken away all that [was] our father's; and of [that] which [was]


our father's hath he gotten all this glory.




Gen 31:02 And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold,

 it


[was] not toward him as before.




Gen 31:03 And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of

thy


fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.




Gen 31:04 And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field


unto his flock,




Gen 31:05 And said unto them, I see your father's countenance,

that


it [is] not toward me as before; but the God of my father hath

been


with me.




Gen 31:06 And ye know that with all my power I have served your


father.




Gen 31:07 And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages

ten


times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.




Gen 31:08 If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then

all


the cattle bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstreaked


shall be thy hire; then bare all the cattle ringstreaked.




Gen 31:09 Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and


given [them] to me.




Gen 31:10 And it came to pass at the time that the cattle

conceived,


that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the


rams which leaped upon the cattle [were] ringstreaked, speckled,

and


grisled.




Gen 31:11 And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream,

[saying],


Jacob: And I said, Here [am] I.




Gen 31:12 And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the

rams


which leap upon the cattle [are] ringstreaked, speckled, and


grisled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.




Gen 31:13 I [am] the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the


pillar, [and] where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get

thee


out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.




Gen 31:14 And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, [Is

there]


yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?




Gen 31:15 Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold

us,


and hath quite devoured also our money.




Gen 31:16 For all the riches which God hath taken from our

father,


that [is] ours, and our children's: now then, whatsoever God hath


said unto thee, do.




Gen 31:17 Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon


camels;




Gen 31:18 And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods


which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had

gotten


in Padanaram, for to go to Isaac his father in the land of

Canaan.




Gen 31:19 And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had

stolen


the images that [were] her father's.




Gen 31:20 And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in

that


he told him not that he fled.




Gen 31:21 So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and


passed over the river, and set his face [toward] the mount

Gilead.




Gen 31:22 And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was


fled.




Gen 31:23 And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after

him


seven days' journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead.




Gen 31:24 And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night,

and


said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either

good or


bad.




Gen 31:25 Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his

tent


in the mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of


Gilead.




Gen 31:26 And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou


hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters,

as


captives [taken] with the sword?




Gen 31:27 Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away


from me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away


with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp?




Gen 31:28 And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my

daughters?


thou hast now done foolishly in [so] doing.




Gen 31:29 It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the

God


of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed


that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.




Gen 31:30 And now, [though] thou wouldest needs be gone, because


thou sore longedst after thy father's house, [yet] wherefore hast


thou stolen my gods?




Gen 31:31 And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was


afraid: for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy


daughters from me.




Gen 31:32 With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not

live:


before our brethren discern thou what [is] thine with me, and

take


[it] to thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them.




Gen 31:33 And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent,


and into the two maidservants' tents; but he found [them] not.

Then


went he out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.




Gen 31:34 Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the


camel's furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the


tent, but found [them] not.




Gen 31:35 And she said to her father, Let it not displease my

lord


that I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women [is]

upon


me. And he searched, but found not the images.




Gen 31:36 And Jacob was wroth, and chided with Laban: and Jacob


answered and said to Laban, What [is] my trespass? what [is] my

sin,


that thou hast so hotly pursued after me?




Gen 31:37 Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou


found of all thy household stuff? set [it] here before my

brethren


and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us both.




Gen 31:38 This twenty years [have] I [been] with thee; thy ewes

and


thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy

flock


have I not eaten.




Gen 31:39 That which was torn [of beasts] I brought not unto

thee; I


bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, [whether]


stolen by day, or stolen by night.




Gen 31:40 [Thus] I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and

the


frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes.




Gen 31:41 Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served

thee


fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy

cattle:


and thou hast changed my wages ten times.




Gen 31:42 Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and

the


fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away

now


empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands,

and


rebuked [thee] yesternight.




Gen 31:43 And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, [These]

daughters


[are] my daughters, and [these] children [are] my children, and


[these] cattle [are] my cattle, and all that thou seest [is]

mine:


and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their


children which they have born?




Gen 31:44 Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and


thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee.




Gen 31:45 And Jacob took a stone, and set it up [for] a pillar.




Gen 31:46 And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and

they


took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the

heap.




Gen 31:47 And Laban called it Jegarsahadutha: but Jacob called it


Galeed.




Gen 31:48 And Laban said, This heap [is] a witness between me and


thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed;




Gen 31:49 And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and


thee, when we are absent one from another.




Gen 31:50 If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt

take


[other] wives beside my daughters, no man [is] with us; see, God


[is] witness betwixt me and thee.




Gen 31:51 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold


[this] pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee;




Gen 31:52 This heap [be] witness, and [this] pillar [be] witness,


that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt

not


pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm.




Gen 31:53 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of

their


father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the fear of his

father


Isaac.




Gen 31:54 Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called


his brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried

all


night in the mount.




Gen 31:55 And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his


sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and


returned unto his place.




Gen 32:01 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met

him.




Gen 32:02 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This [is] God's host:


and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.




Gen 32:03 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his

brother


unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom.




Gen 32:04 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak

unto my


lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with


Laban, and stayed there until now:




Gen 32:05 And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants,

and


womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find


grace in thy sight.




Gen 32:06 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came

to


thy brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four

hundred


men with him.




Gen 32:07 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he


divided the people that [was] with him, and the flocks, and

herds,


and the camels, into two bands;




Gen 32:08 And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite

it,


then the other company which is left shall escape.




Gen 32:09 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of

my


father Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy


country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:




Gen 32:10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of


all the truth, which thou hast showed unto thy servant; for with

my


staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.




Gen 32:11 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother,

from


the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me,


[and] the mother with the children.




Gen 32:12 And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make

thy


seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for

multitude.




Gen 32:13 And he lodged there that same night; and took of that


which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;




Gen 32:14 Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred


ewes, and twenty rams,




Gen 32:15 Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and

ten


bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.




Gen 32:16 And he delivered [them] into the hand of his servants,


every drove by themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over


before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove.




Gen 32:17 And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my


brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose [art] thou?

and


whither goest thou? and whose [are] these before thee?




Gen 32:18 Then thou shalt say, [They be] thy servant Jacob's; it


[is] a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, also he [is]


behind us.




Gen 32:19 And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all


that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak

unto


Esau, when ye find him.




Gen 32:20 And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob [is]

behind


us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth


before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he

will


accept of me.




Gen 32:21 So went the present over before him: and himself lodged


that night in the company.




Gen 32:22 And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and

his


two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford


Jabbok.




Gen 32:23 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and

sent


over that he had.




Gen 32:24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with


him until the breaking of the day.




Gen 32:25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he


touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh

was


out of joint, as he wrestled with him.




Gen 32:26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he

said,


I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.




Gen 32:27 And he said unto him, What [is] thy name? And he said,


Jacob.




Gen 32:28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob,

but


Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men,

and


hast prevailed.




Gen 32:29 And Jacob asked [him], and said, Tell [me], I pray

thee,


thy name. And he said, Wherefore [is] it [that] thou dost ask

after


my name? And he blessed him there.




Gen 32:30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I

have


seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.




Gen 32:31 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him,

and he


halted upon his thigh.




Gen 32:32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not [of] the sinew


which shrank, which [is] upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this


day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew


that shrank.




Gen 33:01 And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold,


Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the


children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids.




Gen 33:02 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost,

and


Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.




Gen 33:03 And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to

the


ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.




Gen 33:04 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on


his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.




Gen 33:05 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the


children; and said, Who [are] those with thee? And he said, The


children which God hath graciously given thy servant.




Gen 33:06 Then the handmaidens came near, they and their

children,


and they bowed themselves.




Gen 33:07 And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed


themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed


themselves.




Gen 33:08 And he said, What [meanest] thou by all this drove

which I


met? And he said, [These are] to find grace in the sight of my

lord.




Gen 33:09 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that

thou


hast unto thyself.




Gen 33:10 And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found


grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for


therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of


God, and thou wast pleased with me.




Gen 33:11 Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee;


because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have


enough. And he urged him, and he took [it].




Gen 33:12 And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go,

and I


will go before thee.




Gen 33:13 And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children


[are] tender, and the flocks and herds with young [are] with me:

and


if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.




Gen 33:14 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant:


and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth

before


me and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord


unto Seir.




Gen 33:15 And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee [some] of the


folk that [are] with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me

find


grace in the sight of my lord.




Gen 33:16 So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.




Gen 33:17 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house,


and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place

is


called Succoth.




Gen 33:18 And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which

[is] in


the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his


tent before the city.




Gen 33:19 And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread

his


tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father,

for an


hundred pieces of money.




Gen 33:20 And he erected there an altar, and called it


Elelohe-Israel.




Gen 34:01 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto

Jacob,


went out to see the daughters of the land.




Gen 34:02 And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of


the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled


her.




Gen 34:03 And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob,

and


he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.




Gen 34:04 And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me


this damsel to wife.




Gen 34:05 And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter:


now his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held

his


peace until they were come.




Gen 34:06 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to


commune with him.




Gen 34:07 And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they


heard [it]: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth,


because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob's


daughter; which thing ought not to be done.




Gen 34:08 And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my

son


Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to

wife.




Gen 34:09 And make ye marriages with us, [and] give your

daughters


unto us, and take our daughters unto you.




Gen 34:10 And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be

before


you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.




Gen 34:11 And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren,


Let me find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I

will


give.




Gen 34:12 Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give


according as ye shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to

wife.




Gen 34:13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his


father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their


sister:




Gen 34:14 And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to

give


our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that [were] a

reproach


unto us:




Gen 34:15 But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as

we


[be], that every male of you be circumcised;




Gen 34:16 Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will

take


your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will

become


one people.




Gen 34:17 But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised;


then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.




Gen 34:18 And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.




Gen 34:19 And the young man deferred not to do the thing,

because he


had delight in Jacob's daughter: and he [was] more honourable

than


all the house of his father.




Gen 34:20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of

their


city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,




Gen 34:21 These men [are] peaceable with us; therefore let them


dwell in the land, and trade therein; for the land, behold, [it

is]


large enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for

wives,


and let us give them our daughters.




Gen 34:22 Only herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell

with


us, to be one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as

they


[are] circumcised.




Gen 34:23 [Shall] not their cattle and their substance and every


beast of theirs [be] ours? only let us consent unto them, and

they


will dwell with us.




Gen 34:24 And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all

that


went out of the gate of his city; and every male was circumcised,


all that went out of the gate of his city.




Gen 34:25 And it came to pass on the third day, when they were

sore,


that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren,


took each man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew

all


the males.




Gen 34:26 And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge

of


the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went out.




Gen 34:27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the


city, because they had defiled their sister.




Gen 34:28 They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses,


and that which [was] in the city, and that which [was] in the

field,




Gen 34:29 And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and

their


wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that [was] in the


house.




Gen 34:30 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me

to


make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the


Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I [being] few in number, they


shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I


shall be destroyed, I and my house.




Gen 34:31 And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with

an


harlot?




Gen 35:01 And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and

dwell


there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee


when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.




Gen 35:02 Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that

[were]


with him, Put away the strange gods that [are] among you, and be


clean, and change your garments:




Gen 35:03 And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make


there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my

distress,


and was with me in the way which I went.




Gen 35:04 And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which

[were]


in their hand, and [all their] earrings which [were] in their

ears;


and Jacob hid them under the oak which [was] by Shechem.




Gen 35:05 And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the


cities that [were] round about them, and they did not pursue

after


the sons of Jacob.




Gen 35:06 So Jacob came to Luz, which [is] in the land of Canaan,


that [is], Bethel, he and all the people that [were] with him.




Gen 35:07 And he built there an altar, and called the place


Elbethel: because there God appeared unto him, when he fled from

the


face of his brother.




Gen 35:08 But Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried


beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called


Allonbachuth.




Gen 35:09 And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of


Padanaram, and blessed him.




Gen 35:10 And God said unto him, Thy name [is] Jacob: thy name

shall


not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and

he


called his name Israel.




Gen 35:11 And God said unto him, I [am] God Almighty: be fruitful


and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee,


and kings shall come out of thy loins;




Gen 35:12 And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I


will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.




Gen 35:13 And God went up from him in the place where he talked

with


him.




Gen 35:14 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked


with him, [even] a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink

offering


thereon, and he poured oil thereon.




Gen 35:15 And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake


with him, Bethel.




Gen 35:16 And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a

little


way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard


labour.




Gen 35:17 And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that

the


midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also.




Gen 35:18 And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for


she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called

him


Benjamin.




Gen 35:19 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath,


which [is] Bethlehem.




Gen 35:20 And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that [is] the


pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.




Gen 35:21 And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the

tower


of Edar.




Gen 35:22 And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land,

that


Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine: and

Israel


heard [it]. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:




Gen 35:23 The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and

Simeon,


and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:




Gen 35:24 The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:




Gen 35:25 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and


Naphtali:




Gen 35:26 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid; Gad, and

Asher:


these [are] the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in

Padanaram.




Gen 35:27 And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto

the


city of Arbah, which [is] Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac

sojourned.




Gen 35:28 And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore

years.




Gen 35:29 And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered


unto his people, [being] old and full of days: and his sons Esau

and


Jacob buried him.




Gen 36:01 Now these [are] the generations of Esau, who [is] Edom.




Gen 36:02 Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah

the


daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah


the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite;




Gen 36:03 And Bashemath Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebajoth.




Gen 36:04 And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Bashemath bare

Reuel;




Gen 36:05 And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these


[are] the sons of Esau, which were born unto him in the land of


Canaan.




Gen 36:06 And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his

daughters,


and all the persons of his house, and his cattle, and all his


beasts, and all his substance, which he had got in the land of


Canaan; and went into the country from the face of his brother


Jacob.




Gen 36:07 For their riches were more than that they might dwell


together; and the land wherein they were strangers could not bear


them because of their cattle.




Gen 36:08 Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau [is] Edom.




Gen 36:09 And these [are] the generations of Esau the father of

the


Edomites in mount Seir:




Gen 36:10 These [are] the names of Esau's sons; Eliphaz the son

of


Adah the wife of Esau, Reuel the son of Bashemath the wife of

Esau.




Gen 36:11 And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and


Gatam, and Kenaz.




Gen 36:12 And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau's son; and she


bare to Eliphaz Amalek: these [were] the sons of Adah Esau's

wife.




Gen 36:13 And these [are] the sons of Reuel; Nahath, and Zerah,


Shammah, and Mizzah: these were the sons of Bashemath Esau's

wife.




Gen 36:14 And these were the sons of Aholibamah, the daughter of


Anah the daughter of Zibeon, Esau's wife: and she bare to Esau


Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah.




Gen 36:15 These [were] dukes of the sons of Esau: the sons of


Eliphaz the firstborn [son] of Esau; duke Teman, duke Omar, duke


Zepho, duke Kenaz,




Gen 36:16 Duke Korah, duke Gatam, [and] duke Amalek: these [are]

the


dukes [that came] of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these [were]

the


sons of Adah.




Gen 36:17 And these [are] the sons of Reuel Esau's son; duke

Nahath,


duke Zerah, duke Shammah, duke Mizzah: these [are] the dukes

[that


came] of Reuel in the land of Edom; these [are] the sons of


Bashemath Esau's wife.




Gen 36:18 And these [are] the sons of Aholibamah Esau's wife;

duke


Jeush, duke Jaalam, duke Korah: these [were] the dukes [that

came]


of Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau's wife.




Gen 36:19 These [are] the sons of Esau, who [is] Edom, and these


[are] their dukes.




Gen 36:20 These [are] the sons of Seir the Horite, who inhabited

the


land; Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah,




Gen 36:21 And Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan: these [are] the

dukes of


the Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom.




Gen 36:22 And the children of Lotan were Hori and Hemam; and

Lotan's


sister [was] Timna.




Gen 36:23 And the children of Shobal [were] these; Alvan, and


Manahath, and Ebal, Shepho, and Onam.




Gen 36:24 And these [are] the children of Zibeon; both Ajah, and


Anah: this [was that] Anah that found the mules in the

wilderness,


as he fed the asses of Zibeon his father.




Gen 36:25 And the children of Anah [were] these; Dishon, and


Aholibamah the daughter of Anah.




Gen 36:26 And these [are] the children of Dishon; Hemdan, and


Eshban, and Ithran, and Cheran.




Gen 36:27 The children of Ezer [are] these; Bilhan, and Zaavan,

and


Akan.




Gen 36:28 The children of Dishan [are] these; Uz, and Aran.




Gen 36:29 These [are] the dukes [that came] of the Horites; duke


Lotan, duke Shobal, duke Zibeon, duke Anah, Gen 36:30 Duke

Dishon,


duke Ezer, duke Dishan: these [are] the dukes [that came] of

Hori,


among their dukes in the land of Seir.




Gen 36:31 And these [are] the kings that reigned in the land of


Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of Israel.




Gen 36:32 And Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom: and the name

of


his city [was] Dinhabah.




Gen 36:33 And Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah


reigned in his stead.




Gen 36:34 And Jobab died, and Husham of the land of Temani

reigned


in his stead.




Gen 36:35 And Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who smote


Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his stead: and the name

of


his city [was] Avith.




Gen 36:36 And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his


stead.




Gen 36:37 And Samlah died, and Saul of Rehoboth [by] the river


reigned in his stead.




Gen 36:38 And Saul died, and Baalhanan the son of Achbor reigned

in


his stead.




Gen 36:39 And Baalhanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar

reigned in


his stead: and the name of his city [was] Pau; and his wife's

name


[was] Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab.




Gen 36:40 And these [are] the names of the dukes [that came] of


Esau, according to their families, after their places, by their


names; duke Timnah, duke Alvah, duke Jetheth,




Gen 36:41 Duke Aholibamah, duke Elah, duke Pinon,




Gen 36:42 Duke Kenaz, duke Teman, duke Mibzar,




Gen 36:43 Duke Magdiel, duke Iram: these [be] the dukes of Edom,


according to their habitations in the land of their possession:

he


[is] Esau the father of the Edomites.




Gen 37:01 And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a


stranger, in the land of Canaan.




Gen 37:02 These [are] the generations of Jacob. Joseph, [being]


seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and


the lad [was] with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of

Zilpah,


his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil


report.




Gen 37:03 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children,


because he [was] the son of his old age: and he made him a coat

of


[many] colours.




Gen 37:04 And when his brethren saw that their father loved him

more


than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak

peaceably


unto him.




Gen 37:05 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told [it] his

brethren:


and they hated him yet the more.




Gen 37:06 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream

which


I have dreamed:




Gen 37:07 For, behold, we [were] binding sheaves in the field,

and,


lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your


sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.




Gen 37:08 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign

over


us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated

him


yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.




Gen 37:09 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his


brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and,


behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance

to


me.




Gen 37:10 And he told [it] to his father, and to his brethren:

and


his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What [is] this dream

that


thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed


come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?




Gen 37:11 And his brethren envied him; but his father observed

the


saying.




Gen 37:12 And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in


Shechem.




Gen 37:13 And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed

[the


flock] in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he

said


to him, Here [am I].




Gen 37:14 And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be


well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me

word


again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to


Shechem.




Gen 37:15 And a certain man found him, and, behold, [he was]


wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What

seekest


thou?




Gen 37:16 And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee,


where they feed [their flocks].




Gen 37:17 And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard


them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his

brethren,


and found them in Dothan.




Gen 37:18 And when they saw him afar off, even before he came

near


unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.




Gen 37:19 And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer

cometh.




Gen 37:20 Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him

into


some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him:

and we


shall see what will become of his dreams.




Gen 37:21 And Reuben heard [it], and he delivered him out of

their


hands; and said, Let us not kill him.




Gen 37:22 And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, [but] cast

him


into this pit that [is] in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon

him;


that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his


father again.




Gen 37:23 And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his


brethren, that they stripped Joseph out of his coat, [his] coat

of


[many] colours that [was] on him;




Gen 37:24 And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit


[was] empty, [there was] no water in it.




Gen 37:25 And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up

their


eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from


Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh,

going


to carry [it] down to Egypt.




Gen 37:26 And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit [is it]

if


we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?




Gen 37:27 Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let

not


our hand be upon him; for he [is] our brother [and] our flesh.

And


his brethren were content.




Gen 37:28 Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they

drew


and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the


Ishmeelites for twenty [pieces] of silver: and they brought

Joseph


into Egypt.




Gen 37:29 And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph


[was] not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.




Gen 37:30 And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child


[is] not; and I, whither shall I go?




Gen 37:31 And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the


goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;




Gen 37:32 And they sent the coat of [many] colours, and they

brought


[it] to their father; and said, This have we found: know now

whether


it [be] thy son's coat or no.




Gen 37:33 And he knew it, and said, [It is] my son's coat; an

evil


beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.




Gen 37:34 And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his


loins, and mourned for his son many days.




Gen 37:35 And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to

comfort


him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go

down


into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for

him.




Gen 37:36 And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar,

an


officer of Pharaoh's, [and] captain of the guard.




Gen 38:01 And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down


from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose

name


[was] Hirah.




Gen 38:02 And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite,


whose name [was] Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her.




Gen 38:03 And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his

name


Er.




Gen 38:04 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called


his name Onan.




Gen 38:05 And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called


his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.




Gen 38:06 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name


[was] Tamar.




Gen 38:07 And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of

the


LORD; and the LORD slew him.




Gen 38:08 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's

wife,


and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.




Gen 38:09 And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it

came


to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled


[it] on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.




Gen 38:10 And the thing which he did displeased the LORD:

wherefore


he slew him also.




Gen 38:11 Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a


widow at thy father's house, till Shelah my son be grown: for he


said, Lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren [did]. And


Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house.




Gen 38:12 And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's

wife


died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his

sheepshearers to


Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.




Gen 38:13 And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law


goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep.




Gen 38:14 And she put her widow's garments off from her, and

covered


her with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place,


which [is] by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was

grown,


and she was not given unto him to wife.




Gen 38:15 When Judah saw her, he thought her [to be] an harlot;


because she had covered her face.




Gen 38:16 And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I

pray


thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she [was]

his


daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou


mayest come in unto me?




Gen 38:17 And he said, I will send [thee] a kid from the flock.

And


she said, Wilt thou give [me] a pledge, till thou send [it]?




Gen 38:18 And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she

said,


Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that [is] in thine


hand. And he gave [it] her, and came in unto her, and she

conceived


by him.




Gen 38:19 And she arose, and went away, and laid by her veil from


her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.




Gen 38:20 And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the


Adullamite, to receive [his] pledge from the woman's hand: but he


found her not.




Gen 38:21 Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where [is]


the harlot, that [was] openly by the way side? And they said,

There


was no harlot in this [place].




Gen 38:22 And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her;

and


also the men of the place said, [that] there was no harlot in

this


[place].




Gen 38:23 And Judah said, Let her take [it] to her, lest we be


shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.




Gen 38:24 And it came to pass about three months after, that it

was


told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the


harlot; and also, behold, she [is] with child by whoredom. And

Judah


said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.




Gen 38:25 When she [was] brought forth, she sent to her father in


law, saying, By the man, whose these [are, am] I with child: and

she


said, Discern, I pray thee, whose [are] these, the signet, and


bracelets, and staff.




Gen 38:26 And Judah acknowledged [them], and said, She hath been


more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my

son.


And he knew her again no more.




Gen 38:27 And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that,


behold, twins [were] in her womb.




Gen 38:28 And it came to pass, when she travailed, that [the one]


put out [his] hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand

a


scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.




Gen 38:29 And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that,


behold, his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken


forth? [this] breach [be] upon thee: therefore his name was

called


Pharez.




Gen 38:30 And afterward came out his brother, that had the

scarlet


thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah.




Gen 39:01 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an


officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought

him of


the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.




Gen 39:02 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous

man;


and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.




Gen 39:03 And his master saw that the LORD [was] with him, and

that


the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.




Gen 39:04 And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him:


and he made him overseer over his house, and all [that] he had he


put into his hand.




Gen 39:05 And it came to pass from the time [that] he had made

him


overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD


blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing

of


the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.




Gen 39:06 And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he

knew


not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was


[a] goodly [person], and well favoured.




Gen 39:07 And it came to pass after these things, that his

master's


wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.




Gen 39:08 But he refused, and said unto his master's wife,

Behold,


my master wotteth not what [is] with me in the house, and he hath


committed all that he hath to my hand;




Gen 39:09 [There is] none greater in this house than I; neither

hath


he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou [art] his


wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against

God?




Gen 39:10 And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day,


that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, [or] to be with

her.




Gen 39:11 And it came to pass about this time, that [Joseph] went


into the house to do his business; and [there was] none of the

men


of the house there within.




Gen 39:12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me:


and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.




Gen 39:13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his


garment in her hand, and was fled forth,




Gen 39:14 That she called unto the men of her house, and spake

unto


them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock

us;


he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:




Gen 39:15 And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my


voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and

got


him out.




Gen 39:16 And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came


home.




Gen 39:17 And she spake unto him according to these words,

saying,


The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in

unto me


to mock me:




Gen 39:18 And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried,


that he left his garment with me, and fled out.




Gen 39:19 And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of


his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did


thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.




Gen 39:20 And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the

prison,


a place where the king's prisoners [were] bound: and he was

there in


the prison.




Gen 39:21 But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed him mercy, and


gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.




Gen 39:22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand


all the prisoners that [were] in the prison; and whatsoever they

did


there, he was the doer [of it].




Gen 39:23 The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing [that


was] under his hand; because the LORD was with him, and [that]

which


he did, the LORD made [it] to prosper.




Gen 40:01 And it came to pass after these things, [that] the

butler


of the king of Egypt and [his] baker had offended their lord the


king of Egypt.




Gen 40:02 And Pharaoh was wroth against two [of] his officers,


against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the


bakers.




Gen 40:03 And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of

the


guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph [was] bound.




Gen 40:04 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them,

and


he served them: and they continued a season in ward.




Gen 40:05 And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his

dream


in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his

dream,


the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, which [were]

bound in


the prison.




Gen 40:06 And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked


upon them, and, behold, they [were] sad.




Gen 40:07 And he asked Pharaoh's officers that [were] with him in


the ward of his lord's house, saying, Wherefore look ye [so]

sadly


to day?




Gen 40:08 And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and


[there is] no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, [Do]

not


interpretations [belong] to God? tell me [them], I pray you.




Gen 40:09 And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and

said to


him, In my dream, behold, a vine [was] before me;




Gen 40:10 And in the vine [were] three branches: and it [was] as


though it budded, [and] her blossoms shot forth; and the clusters


thereof brought forth ripe grapes:




Gen 40:11 And Pharaoh's cup [was] in my hand: and I took the

grapes,


and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup into


Pharaoh's hand.




Gen 40:12 And Joseph said unto him, This [is] the interpretation

of


it: The three branches [are] three days:




Gen 40:13 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head,


and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's


cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his


butler.




Gen 40:14 But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and

show


kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto

Pharaoh,


and bring me out of this house:




Gen 40:15 For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the


Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put

me


into the dungeon.




Gen 40:16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was

good,


he said unto Joseph, I also [was] in my dream, and, behold, [I

had]


three white baskets on my head:




Gen 40:17 And in the uppermost basket [there was] of all manner

of


bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the

basket


upon my head.




Gen 40:18 And Joseph answered and said, This [is] the

interpretation


thereof: The three baskets [are] three days:




Gen 40:19 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head

from


off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat

thy


flesh from off thee.




Gen 40:20 And it came to pass the third day, [which was]

Pharaoh's


birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he

lifted


up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his


servants.




Gen 40:21 And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership


again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:




Gen 40:22 But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had

interpreted


to them.




Gen 40:23 Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but

forgat


him.




Gen 41:01 And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that


Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.




Gen 41:02 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well


favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.




Gen 41:03 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of


the river, ill favoured and leanfleshed; and stood by the [other]


kine upon the brink of the river.




Gen 41:04 And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up

the


seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.




Gen 41:05 And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold,


seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.




Gen 41:06 And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east


wind sprung up after them.




Gen 41:07 And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and

full


ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, [it was] a dream.




Gen 41:08 And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was


troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt,

and


all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but


[there was] none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.




Gen 41:09 Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do


remember my faults this day:




Gen 41:10 Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in

ward in


the captain of the guard's house, [both] me and the chief baker:




Gen 41:11 And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we

dreamed


each man according to the interpretation of his dream.




Gen 41:12 And [there was] there with us a young man, an Hebrew,


servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he


interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream

he


did interpret.




Gen 41:13 And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it

was;


me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.




Gen 41:14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought

him


hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved [himself], and changed

his


raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.




Gen 41:15 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream,

and


[there is] none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of

thee,


[that] thou canst understand a dream to interpret it.




Gen 41:16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, [It is] not in me:


God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.




Gen 41:17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I

stood


upon the bank of the river:




Gen 41:18 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine,


fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:




Gen 41:19 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor

and


very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the


land of Egypt for badness:




Gen 41:20 And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the


first seven fat kine:




Gen 41:21 And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known


that they had eaten them; but they [were] still ill favoured, as

at


the beginning. So I awoke.




Gen 41:22 And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up

in


one stalk, full and good:




Gen 41:23 And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, [and] blasted


with the east wind, sprung up after them:




Gen 41:24 And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I

told


[this] unto the magicians; but [there was] none that could

declare


[it] to me.




Gen 41:25 And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh [is]


one: God hath showed Pharaoh what he [is] about to do.




Gen 41:26 The seven good kine [are] seven years; and the seven

good


ears [are] seven years: the dream [is] one.




Gen 41:27 And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up


after them [are] seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted

with


the east wind shall be seven years of famine.




Gen 41:28 This [is] the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh:

What


God [is] about to do he showeth unto Pharaoh.




Gen 41:29 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty

throughout


all the land of Egypt:




Gen 41:30 And there shall arise after them seven years of famine;


and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and

the


famine shall consume the land;




Gen 41:31 And the plenty shall not be known in the land by

reason of


that famine following; for it [shall be] very grievous.




Gen 41:32 And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice;

[it


is] because the thing [is] established by God, and God will

shortly


bring it to pass.




Gen 41:33 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and


wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.




Gen 41:34 Let Pharaoh do [this], and let him appoint officers

over


the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the


seven plenteous years.




Gen 41:35 And let them gather all the food of those good years

that


come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them

keep


food in the cities.




Gen 41:36 And that food shall be for store to the land against

the


seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that

the


land perish not through the famine.




Gen 41:37 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in

the


eyes of all his servants.




Gen 41:38 And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find [such a


one] as this [is], a man in whom the Spirit of God [is]?




Gen 41:39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath

showed


thee all this, [there is] none so discreet and wise as thou

[art]:




Gen 41:40 Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy

word


shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be

greater


than thou.




Gen 41:41 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over


all the land of Egypt.




Gen 41:42 And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it


upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen,

and


put a gold chain about his neck;




Gen 41:43 And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he


had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him


[ruler] over all the land of Egypt.




Gen 41:44 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I [am] Pharaoh, and

without


thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of

Egypt.




Gen 41:45 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnathpaaneah; and

he


gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On.


And Joseph went out over [all] the land of Egypt.




Gen 41:46 And Joseph [was] thirty years old when he stood before


Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of


Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.




Gen 41:47 And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought

forth


by handfuls.




Gen 41:48 And he gathered up all the food of the seven years,

which


were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities:

the


food of the field, which [was] round about every city, laid he

up in


the same.




Gen 41:49 And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very


much, until he left numbering; for [it was] without number.




Gen 41:50 And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of


famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of

On


bare unto him.




Gen 41:51 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh:

For


God, [said he], hath made me forget all my toil, and all my

father's


house.




Gen 41:52 And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God

hath


caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.




Gen 41:53 And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the

land


of Egypt, were ended.




Gen 41:54 And the seven years of dearth began to come, according

as


Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the


land of Egypt there was bread.




Gen 41:55 And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people


cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the

Egyptians,


Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do.




Gen 41:56 And the famine was over all the face of the earth: And


Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians;

and


the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.




Gen 41:57 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy


[corn]; because that the famine was [so] sore in all lands.




Gen 42:01 Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob


said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?




Gen 42:02 And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in


Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we

may


live, and not die.




Gen 42:03 And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in

Egypt.




Gen 42:04 But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his


brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him.




Gen 42:05 And the sons of Israel came to buy [corn] among those

that


came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan.




Gen 42:06 And Joseph [was] the governor over the land, [and] he

[it


was] that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph's

brethren


came, and bowed down themselves before him [with] their faces to

the


earth.




Gen 42:07 And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made


himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he

said


unto them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of

Canaan to


buy food.




Gen 42:08 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.




Gen 42:09 And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of

them,


and said unto them, Ye [are] spies; to see the nakedness of the

land


ye are come.




Gen 42:10 And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food

are


thy servants come.




Gen 42:11 We [are] all one man's sons; we [are] true [men], thy


servants are no spies.




Gen 42:12 And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of


the land ye are come.




Gen 42:13 And they said, Thy servants [are] twelve brethren, the


sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest


[is] this day with our father, and one [is] not.




Gen 42:14 And Joseph said unto them, That [is it] that I spake

unto


you, saying, Ye [are] spies:




Gen 42:15 Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye

shall


not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.




Gen 42:16 Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye


shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether


[there be any] truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh

surely


ye [are] spies.




Gen 42:17 And he put them all together into ward three days.




Gen 42:18 And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and


live; [for] I fear God:




Gen 42:19 If ye [be] true [men], let one of your brethren be

bound


in the house of your prison: go ye, carry corn for the famine of


your houses:




Gen 42:20 But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your


words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.




Gen 42:21 And they said one to another, We [are] verily guilty


concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul,

when


he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress


come upon us.




Gen 42:22 And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you,


saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear?


therefore, behold, also his blood is required.




Gen 42:23 And they knew not that Joseph understood [them]; for he


spake unto them by an interpreter.




Gen 42:24 And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and


returned to them again, and communed with them, and took from

them


Simeon, and bound him before their eyes.




Gen 42:25 Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn,

and


to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them


provision for the way: and thus did he unto them.




Gen 42:26 And they laded their asses with the corn, and departed


thence.




Gen 42:27 And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass


provender in the inn, he espied his money; for, behold, it [was]

in


his sack's mouth.




Gen 42:28 And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored;

and,


lo, [it is] even in my sack: and their heart failed [them], and

they


were afraid, saying one to another, What [is] this [that] God

hath


done unto us?




Gen 42:29 And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of


Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them; saying,




Gen 42:30 The man, [who is] the lord of the land, spake roughly

to


us, and took us for spies of the country.




Gen 42:31 And we said unto him, We [are] true [men]; we are no


spies: Gen 42:32 We [be] twelve brethren, sons of our father; one


[is] not, and the youngest [is] this day with our father in the

land


of Canaan.




Gen 42:33 And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us,

Hereby


shall I know that ye [are] true [men]; leave one of your brethren


[here] with me, and take [food for] the famine of your

households,


and be gone:




Gen 42:34 And bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I

know


that ye [are] no spies, but [that] ye [are] true [men: so] will I


deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffic in the land.




Gen 42:35 And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that,


behold, every man's bundle of money [was] in his sack: and when


[both] they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were


afraid.




Gen 42:36 And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye

bereaved


[of my children]: Joseph [is] not, and Simeon [is] not, and ye

will


take Benjamin [away]: all these things are against me.




Gen 42:37 And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two


sons, if I bring him not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I


will bring him to thee again.




Gen 42:38 And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his


brother is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him by

the


way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs

with


sorrow to the grave.




Gen 43:01 And the famine [was] sore in the land.




Gen 43:02 And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the corn

which


they had brought out of Egypt, their father said unto them, Go


again, buy us a little food.




Gen 43:03 And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly


protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your


brother [be] with you.




Gen 43:04 If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down

and


buy thee food:




Gen 43:05 But if thou wilt not send [him], we will not go down:

for


the man said unto us, Ye shall not see my face, except your

brother


[be] with you.




Gen 43:06 And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye [so] ill with me,

[as]


to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?




Gen 43:07 And they said, The man asked us straitly of our state,

and


of our kindred, saying, [Is] your father yet alive? have ye


[another] brother? and we told him according to the tenor of

these


words: could we certainly know that he would say, Bring your

brother


down?




Gen 43:08 And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad

with


me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both


we, and thou, [and] also our little ones.




Gen 43:09 I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require


him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then

let


me bear the blame for ever:




Gen 43:10 For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned


this second time.




Gen 43:11 And their father Israel said unto them, If [it must

be] so


now, do this; take of the best fruits in the land in your

vessels,


and carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little

honey,


spices, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds:




Gen 43:12 And take double money in your hand; and the money that

was


brought again in the mouth of your sacks, carry [it] again in

your


hand; peradventure it [was] an oversight:




Gen 43:13 Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the

man:




Gen 43:14 And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he


may send away your other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved

[of


my children], I am bereaved.




Gen 43:15 And the men took that present, and they took double

money


in their hand, and Benjamin; and rose up, and went down to Egypt,


and stood before Joseph.




Gen 43:16 And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the


ruler of his house, Bring [these] men home, and slay, and make


ready; for [these] men shall dine with me at noon.




Gen 43:17 And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the


men into Joseph's house.




Gen 43:18 And the men were afraid, because they were brought into


Joseph's house; and they said, Because of the money that was


returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that

he


may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for


bondmen, and our asses.




Gen 43:19 And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house,

and


they communed with him at the door of the house,




Gen 43:20 And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time

to


buy food:




Gen 43:21 And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we


opened our sacks, and, behold, [every] man's money [was] in the


mouth of his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought

it


again in our hand.




Gen 43:22 And other money have we brought down in our hands to

buy


food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.




Gen 43:23 And he said, Peace [be] to you, fear not: your God, and


the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I

had


your money. And he brought Simeon out unto them.




Gen 43:24 And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and

gave


[them] water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses


provender.




Gen 43:25 And they made ready the present against Joseph came at


noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there.




Gen 43:26 And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present


which [was] in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to


him to the earth.




Gen 43:27 And he asked them of [their] welfare, and said, [Is]

your


father well, the old man of whom ye spake? [Is] he yet alive?




Gen 43:28 And they answered, Thy servant our father [is] in good


health, he [is] yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and

made


obeisance.




Gen 43:29 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother

Benjamin,


his mother's son, and said, [Is] this your younger brother, of

whom


ye spake unto me? And he said, God be gracious unto thee, my son.




Gen 43:30 And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon

his


brother: and he sought [where] to weep; and he entered into [his]


chamber, and wept there.




Gen 43:31 And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained


himself, and said, Set on bread.




Gen 43:32 And they set on for him by himself, and for them by


themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by


themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the


Hebrews; for that [is] an abomination unto the Egyptians.




Gen 43:33 And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his


birthright, and the youngest according to his youth: and the men


marvelled one at another.




Gen 43:34 And he took [and sent] messes unto them from before

him:


but Benjamin's mess was five times so much as any of theirs. And


they drank, and were merry with him.




Gen 44:01 And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill


the men's sacks [with] food, as much as they can carry, and put


every man's money in his sack's mouth.




Gen 44:02 And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of

the


youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word

that


Joseph had spoken.




Gen 44:03 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent

away,


they and their asses.




Gen 44:04 [And] when they were gone out of the city, [and] not

[yet]


far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men;

and


when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye


rewarded evil for good?




Gen 44:05 [Is] not this [it] in which my lord drinketh, and

whereby


indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.




Gen 44:06 And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same


words.




Gen 44:07 And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these


words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this


thing:




Gen 44:08 Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths,

 we


brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then

should


we steal out of thy lord's house silver or gold?




Gen 44:09 With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let

him


die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.




Gen 44:10 And he said, Now also [let] it [be] according unto your


words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye

shall be


blameless.




Gen 44:11 Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the


ground, and opened every man his sack.




Gen 44:12 And he searched, [and] began at the eldest, and left at


the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.




Gen 44:13 Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his

ass,


and returned to the city.




Gen 44:14 And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for

he


[was] yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.




Gen 44:15 And Joseph said unto them, What deed [is] this that ye


have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?




Gen 44:16 And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what

shall


we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the


iniquity of thy servants: behold, we [are] my lord's servants,

both


we, and [he] also with whom the cup is found.




Gen 44:17 And he said, God forbid that I should do so: [but] the

man


in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as

for


you, get you up in peace unto your father.




Gen 44:18 Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord,

let


thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let


not thine anger burn against thy servant: for thou [art] even as


Pharaoh.




Gen 44:19 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father,

or a


brother?




Gen 44:20 And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man,


and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is

dead,


and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him.




Gen 44:21 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto

me,


that I may set mine eyes upon him.




Gen 44:22 And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his

father:


for [if] he should leave his father, [his father] would die.




Gen 44:23 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest


brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.




Gen 44:24 And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my


father, we told him the words of my lord.




Gen 44:25 And our father said, Go again, [and] buy us a little

food.




Gen 44:26 And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest

brother be


with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man's face,


except our youngest brother [be] with us.




Gen 44:27 And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my


wife bare me two [sons]:




Gen 44:28 And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is


torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:




Gen 44:29 And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall

him,


ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.




Gen 44:30 Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and


the lad [be] not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the


lad's life;




Gen 44:31 It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad [is]

not


[with us], that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down

the


gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.




Gen 44:32 For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my

father,


saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the

blame to


my father for ever.




Gen 44:33 Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide

instead


of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his


brethren.




Gen 44:34 For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad [be]

not


with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my


father.




Gen 45:01 Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them

that


stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me.

And


there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto


his brethren.




Gen 45:02 And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of


Pharaoh heard.




Gen 45:03 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I [am] Joseph; doth

my


father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they


were troubled at his presence.




Gen 45:04 And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I

pray


you. And they came near. And he said, I [am] Joseph your brother,


whom ye sold into Egypt.




Gen 45:05 Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with

yourselves,


that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to

preserve


life.




Gen 45:06 For these two years [hath] the famine [been] in the

land:


and yet [there are] five years, in the which [there shall]

neither


[be] earing nor harvest.




Gen 45:07 And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity

in


the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.




Gen 45:08 So now [it was] not you [that] sent me hither, but God:


and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his

house,


and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.




Gen 45:09 Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him,

Thus


saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come

down


unto me, tarry not:




Gen 45:10 And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou

shalt


be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children's


children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast:




Gen 45:11 And there will I nourish thee; for yet [there are] five


years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou


hast, come to poverty.




Gen 45:12 And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother


Benjamin, that [it is] my mouth that speaketh unto you.




Gen 45:13 And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt,

and


of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my


father hither.




Gen 45:14 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept;


and Benjamin wept upon his neck.




Gen 45:15 Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon

them:


and after that his brethren talked with him.




Gen 45:16 And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house,

saying,


Joseph's brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his


servants.




Gen 45:17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren,

This


do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;




Gen 45:18 And take your father and your households, and come unto


me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye

shall


eat the fat of the land.




Gen 45:19 Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take you wagons

out of


the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and


bring your father, and come.




Gen 45:20 Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the

land


of Egypt [is] yours.




Gen 45:21 And the children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them


wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them


provision for the way.




Gen 45:22 To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment;

but to


Benjamin he gave three hundred [pieces] of silver, and five

changes


of raiment.




Gen 45:23 And to his father he sent after this [manner]; ten

asses


laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she asses laden with


corn and bread and meat for his father by the way.




Gen 45:24 So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he


said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way.




Gen 45:25 And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land

of


Canaan unto Jacob their father,




Gen 45:26 And told him, saying, Joseph [is] yet alive, and he

[is]


governor over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob's heart fainted,

for


he believed them not.




Gen 45:27 And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had


said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent

to


carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived:




Gen 45:28 And Israel said, [It is] enough; Joseph my son [is] yet


alive: I will go and see him before I die.




Gen 46:01 And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and

came


to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father


Isaac.




Gen 46:02 And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night,

and


said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here [am] I.




Gen 46:03 And he said, I [am] God, the God of thy father: fear

not


to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great

nation:




Gen 46:04 I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also


surely bring thee up [again]: and Joseph shall put his hand upon


thine eyes.




Gen 46:05 And Jacob rose up from Beersheba: and the sons of

Israel


carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their

wives,


in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.




Gen 46:06 And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they


had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and


all his seed with him:




Gen 46:07 His sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters,

and


his sons' daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into


Egypt.




Gen 46:08 And these [are] the names of the children of Israel,

which


came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn.




Gen 46:09 And the sons of Reuben; Hanoch, and Phallu, and Hezron,


and Carmi.




Gen 46:10 And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad,

and


Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman.




Gen 46:11 And the sons of Levi; Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.




Gen 46:12 And the sons of Judah; Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and


Pharez, and Zarah: but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan.

And


the sons of Pharez were Hezron and Hamul.




Gen 46:13 And the sons of Issachar; Tola, and Phuvah, and Job,

and


Shimron.




Gen 46:14 And the sons of Zebulun; Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel.




Gen 46:15 These [be] the sons of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob

in


Padanaram, with his daughter Dinah: all the souls of his sons and


his daughters [were] thirty and three.




Gen 46:16 And the sons of Gad; Ziphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and

Ezbon,


Eri, and Arodi, and Areli.




Gen 46:17 And the sons of Asher; Jimnah, and Ishuah, and Isui,

and


Beriah, and Serah their sister: and the sons of Beriah; Heber,

and


Malchiel.




Gen 46:18 These [are] the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah


his daughter, and these she bare unto Jacob, [even] sixteen

souls.




Gen 46:19 The sons of Rachel Jacob's wife; Joseph, and Benjamin.




Gen 46:20 And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh


and Ephraim, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of

On


bare unto him.




Gen 46:21 And the sons of Benjamin [were] Belah, and Becher, and


Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and


Ard.




Gen 46:22 These [are] the sons of Rachel, which were born to

Jacob:


all the souls [were] fourteen.




Gen 46:23 And the sons of Dan; Hushim.




Gen 46:24 And the sons of Naphtali; Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer,


and Shillem.




Gen 46:25 These [are] the sons of Bilhah, which Laban gave unto


Rachel his daughter, and she bare these unto Jacob: all the souls


[were] seven.




Gen 46:26 All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, which

came


out of his loins, besides Jacob's sons' wives, all the souls

[were]


threescore and six;




Gen 46:27 And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt,


[were] two souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came


into Egypt, [were] threescore and ten.




Gen 46:28 And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his


face unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.




Gen 46:29 And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet


Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself unto him;

and he


fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.




Gen 46:30 And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I

have


seen thy face, because thou [art] yet alive.




Gen 46:31 And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his

father's


house, I will go up, and show Pharaoh, and say unto him, My


brethren, and my father's house, which [were] in the land of

Canaan,


are come unto me;




Gen 46:32 And the men [are] shepherds, for their trade hath been

to


feed cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds,


and all that they have.




Gen 46:33 And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you,


and shall say, What [is] your occupation?




Gen 46:34 That ye shall say, Thy servants' trade hath been about


cattle from our youth even until now, both we, [and] also our


fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every

shepherd


[is] an abomination unto the Egyptians.




Gen 47:01 Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father

and


my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they


have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they

[are] in


the land of Goshen.




Gen 47:02 And he took some of his brethren, [even] five men, and


presented them unto Pharaoh.




Gen 47:03 And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What [is] your


occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants [are]


shepherds, both we, [and] also our fathers.




Gen 47:04 They said moreover unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the


land are we come; for thy servants have no pasture for their

flocks;


for the famine [is] sore in the land of Canaan: now therefore, we


pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.




Gen 47:05 And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and

thy


brethren are come unto thee:




Gen 47:06 The land of Egypt [is] before thee; in the best of the


land make thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen


let them dwell: and if thou knowest [any] men of activity among


them, then make them rulers over my cattle.




Gen 47:07 And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him

before


Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.




Gen 47:08 And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old [art] thou?




Gen 47:09 And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of

my


pilgrimage [are] an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have

the


days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the


days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their


pilgrimage.




Gen 47:10 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before


Pharaoh.




Gen 47:11 And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave


them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land,

in


the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.




Gen 47:12 And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and

all


his father's household, with bread, according to [their]

families.




Gen 47:13 And [there was] no bread in all the land; for the

famine


[was] very sore, so that the land of Egypt and [all] the land of


Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.




Gen 47:14 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in

the


land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they


bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.




Gen 47:15 And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the


land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said,

Give


us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money


faileth.




Gen 47:16 And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you

for


your cattle, if money fail.




Gen 47:17 And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph

gave


them bread [in exchange] for horses, and for the flocks, and for

the


cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with

bread


for all their cattle for that year.




Gen 47:18 When that year was ended, they came unto him the second


year, and said unto him, We will not hide [it] from my lord, how


that our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle;


there is not ought left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies,

and


our lands:




Gen 47:19 Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and

our


land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be


servants unto Pharaoh: and give [us] seed, that we may live, and

not


die, that the land be not desolate.




Gen 47:20 And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh;

for


the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine

prevailed


over them: so the land became Pharaoh's.




Gen 47:21 And as for the people, he removed them to cities from


[one] end of the borders of Egypt even to the [other] end

thereof.




Gen 47:22 Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the


priests had a portion [assigned them] of Pharaoh, and did eat

their


portion which Pharaoh gave them: wherefore they sold not their


lands.




Gen 47:23 Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought


you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, [here is] seed for

you,


and ye shall sow the land.




Gen 47:24 And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye

shall


give the fifth [part] unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your


own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of

your


households, and for food for your little ones.




Gen 47:25 And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find


grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.




Gen 47:26 And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto

this


day, [that] Pharaoh should have the fifth [part]; except the

land of


the priests only, [which] became not Pharaoh's.




Gen 47:27 And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country

of


Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and

multiplied


exceedingly.




Gen 47:28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years:

so


the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.




Gen 47:29 And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he

called


his son Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found grace in

thy


sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly


and truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt:




Gen 47:30 But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me


out of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I

will


do as thou hast said.




Gen 47:31 And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And


Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head.




Gen 48:01 And it came to pass after these things, that [one] told


Joseph, Behold, thy father [is] sick: and he took with him his

two


sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.




Gen 48:02 And [one] told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph


cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon

the


bed.




Gen 48:03 And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto

me


at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,




Gen 48:04 And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful,

and


multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and


will give this land to thy seed after thee [for] an everlasting


possession.




Gen 48:05 And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were


born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into


Egypt, [are] mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.




Gen 48:06 And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall

be


thine, [and] shall be called after the name of their brethren in


their inheritance.




Gen 48:07 And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by

me


in the land of Canaan in the way, when yet [there was] but a

little


way to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of


Ephrath; the same [is] Bethlehem.




Gen 48:08 And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who [are]


these?




Gen 48:09 And Joseph said unto his father, They [are] my sons,

whom


God hath given me in this [place]. And he said, Bring them, I

pray


thee, unto me, and I will bless them.




Gen 48:10 Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, [so that] he


could not see. And he brought them near unto him; and he kissed


them, and embraced them.




Gen 48:11 And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see

thy


face: and, lo, God hath showed me also thy seed.




Gen 48:12 And Joseph brought them out from between his knees,

and he


bowed himself with his face to the earth.




Gen 48:13 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand


toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward


Israel's right hand, and brought [them] near unto him.




Gen 48:14 And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid [it]


upon Ephraim's head, who [was] the younger, and his left hand

upon


Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh [was]

the


firstborn.




Gen 48:15 And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my


fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my

life


long unto this day,




Gen 48:16 The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the

lads;


and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers

Abraham


and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the


earth.




Gen 48:17 And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand


upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his


father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's


head.




Gen 48:18 And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for


this [is] the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.




Gen 48:19 And his father refused, and said, I know [it], my son,

I


know [it]: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be


great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he,

and


his seed shall become a multitude of nations.




Gen 48:20 And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall

Israel


bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he

set


Ephraim before Manasseh.




Gen 48:21 And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God

shall


be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.




Gen 48:22 Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy


brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my

sword


and with my bow.




Gen 49:01 And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather


yourselves together, that I may tell you [that] which shall

befall


you in the last days.




Gen 49:02 Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob;


and hearken unto Israel your father.




Gen 49:03 Reuben, thou [art] my firstborn, my might, and the


beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the


excellency of power:




Gen 49:04 Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou


wentest up to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou [it]: he

went up


to my couch.




Gen 49:05 Simeon and Levi [are] brethren; instruments of cruelty


[are in] their habitations.




Gen 49:06 O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their


assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger

they


slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall.




Gen 49:07 Cursed [be] their anger, for [it was] fierce; and their


wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter


them in Israel.




Gen 49:08 Judah, thou [art he] whom thy brethren shall praise:

thy


hand [shall be] in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's

children


shall bow down before thee.




Gen 49:09 Judah [is] a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou

art


gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old

lion;


who shall rouse him up?




Gen 49:10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver


from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him [shall]

the


gathering of the people [be].




Gen 49:11 Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto


the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes

in


the blood of grapes:




Gen 49:12 His eyes [shall be] red with wine, and his teeth white


with milk.




Gen 49:13 Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he

[shall


be] for an haven of ships; and his border [shall be] unto Zidon.




Gen 49:14 Issachar [is] a strong ass couching down between two


burdens:




Gen 49:15 And he saw that rest [was] good, and the land that [it


was] pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a

servant


unto tribute.




Gen 49:16 Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of


Israel.




Gen 49:17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the

path,


that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall

backward.




Gen 49:18 I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.




Gen 49:19 Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome

at


the last.




Gen 49:20 Out of Asher his bread [shall be] fat, and he shall

yield


royal dainties.




Gen 49:21 Naphtali [is] a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.




Gen 49:22 Joseph [is] a fruitful bough, [even] a fruitful bough

by a


well; [whose] branches run over the wall:




Gen 49:23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot [at him],


and hated him:




Gen 49:24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his

hands


were made strong by the hands of the mighty [God] of Jacob; (from


thence [is] the shepherd, the stone of Israel:) Gen 49:25 [Even]

by


the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty,

who


shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the


deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:




Gen 49:26 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the


blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the

everlasting


hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of

the


head of him that was separate from his brethren.




Gen 49:27 Benjamin shall ravin [as] a wolf: in the morning he

shall


devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.




Gen 49:28 All these [are] the twelve tribes of Israel: and this

[is


it] that their father spake unto them, and blessed them; every

one


according to his blessing he blessed them.




Gen 49:29 And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be


gathered unto my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that


[is] in the field of Ephron the Hittite,




Gen 49:30 In the cave that [is] in the field of Machpelah, which


[is] before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought

with


the field of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a

buryingplace.




Gen 49:31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there

they


buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.




Gen 49:32 The purchase of the field and of the cave that [is]


therein [was] from the children of Heth.




Gen 49:33 And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons,

he


gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and

was


gathered unto his people.




Gen 50:01 And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon

him,


and kissed him.




Gen 50:02 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to

embalm


his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.




Gen 50:03 And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are


fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians


mourned for him threescore and ten days.




Gen 50:04 And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph

spake


unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in

your


eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,




Gen 50:05 My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave


which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt

thou


bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my


father, and I will come again.




Gen 50:06 And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father,

according as


he made thee swear.




Gen 50:07 And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him

went


up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all

the


elders of the land of Egypt,




Gen 50:08 And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his


father's house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and

their


herds, they left in the land of Goshen.




Gen 50:09 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen:

and


it was a very great company.




Gen 50:10 And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which [is]


beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore


lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.




Gen 50:11 And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites,

saw


the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This [is] a

grievous


mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called


Abelmizraim, which [is] beyond Jordan.




Gen 50:12 And his sons did unto him according as he commanded

them:




Gen 50:13 For his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and


buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham


bought with the field for a possession of a buryingplace of

Ephron


the Hittite, before Mamre.




Gen 50:14 And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren,

and


all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried


his father.




Gen 50:15 And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was

dead,


they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly


requite us all the evil which we did unto him.




Gen 50:16 And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy

father


did command before he died, saying,




Gen 50:17 So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now,

the


trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee


evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the

servants of


the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.




Gen 50:18 And his brethren also went and fell down before his

face;


and they said, Behold, we [be] thy servants.




Gen 50:19 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for [am] I in the


place of God?




Gen 50:20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; [but] God


meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as [it is] this day, to

save


much people alive.




Gen 50:21 Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your


little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.




Gen 50:22 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house:

and


Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.




Gen 50:23 And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third


[generation]: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh

were


brought up upon Joseph's knees.




Gen 50:24 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will


surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land

which


he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.




Gen 50:25 And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel,

saying,


God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from


hence.




Gen 50:26 So Joseph died, [being] an hundred and ten years old:

and


they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
