Genesis 1

1. In the beginning <7225> God <0430> created <1254> the heaven

<8064> and the earth <0776>.

2 And the earth <0776> was without <8414> form <8414>, and void

<0922>; and darkness <2822> [was] upon the face <6440> of the

deep <8415>. And the Spirit <7307> of God <0430> moved <7363>

upon the face <6440> of the waters <4325>.

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

there was light <0216>.

4 And God <0430> saw <7200> the light <0216>, that [it was]

good <2896>: and God <0430> divided <0914> the light <0216> from

the darkness <2822>.

5 And God <0430> called <7121> the light <0216> Day <3117>, and

the darkness <2822> he called <7121> Night <3915>. And the

evening <6153> and the morning <1242> were the first <0259> day

<3117>.

6. And God <0430> said <0559>, Let there be a firmament <7549>

in the midst <8432> of the waters <4325>, and let it divide

<0914> the waters <4325> from the waters <4325>.

7 And God <0430> made <6213> the firmament <7549>, and divided

<0914> the waters <4325> which <0834> [were] under <8478> the

firmament <7549> from the waters <4325> which <0834> [were]

above <5921> the firmament <7549>: and it was so <3651>.

8 And God <0430> called <7121> the firmament <7549> Heaven

<8064>. And the evening <6153> and the morning <1242> were the

second <8145> day <3117>.

9. And God <0430> said <0559>, Let the waters <4325> under

<8478> the heaven <8064> be gathered <6960> together unto one

<0259> place <4725>, and let the dry <3004> [land] appear <7200>:

and it was so <3651>.

10 And God <0430> called <7121> the dry <3004> [land] Earth

<0776>; and the gathering <4723> together of the waters <4325>

called <7121> he Seas <3220>: and God <0430> saw <7200> that [it

was] good <2896>.

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

<1876> forth <1876> grass <1877>, the herb <6212> yielding

<2232> seed <2233>, [and] the fruit <6529> tree <6086> yielding

<6213> fruit <6529> after his kind <4327>, whose <0834> seed

<2233> [is] in itself, upon the earth <0776>: and it was so

<3651>.

12 And the earth <0776> brought <3318> forth <3318> grass

<1877>, [and] herb <6212> yielding <2232> seed <2233> after his

kind <4327>, and the tree <6086> yielding <6213> fruit <6529>,

whose <0834> seed <2233> [was] in itself, after his kind <4327>:

and God <0430> saw <7200> that [it was] good <2896>.

13 And the evening <6153> and the morning <1242> were the third

<7992> day <3117>.

14. And God <0430> said <0559>, Let there be lights <3974> in

the firmament <7549> of the heaven <8064> to divide <0914> the

day <3117> from the night <3915>; and let them be for signs

<0226>, and for seasons <4150>, and for days <3117>, and years

<8141>:

15 And let them be for lights <3974> in the firmament <7549> of

the heaven <8064> to give light <0216> upon the earth <0776>:

and it was so <3651>.

16 And God <0430> made <6213> two <8147> great <1419> lights

<3974>; the greater <1419> light <3974> to rule <4475> the day

<3117>, and the lesser <6996> light <3974> to rule <4475> the

night <3915>: [he made] the stars <3556> also.

17 And God <0430> set <5414> them in the firmament <7549> of

the heaven <8064> to give light <0216> upon the earth <0776>,

18 And to rule <4910> over the day <3117> and over the night

<3915>, and to divide <0914> the light <0216> from the darkness

<2822>: and God <0430> saw <7200> that [it was] good <2896>.

19 And the evening <6153> and the morning <1242> were the

fourth <7243> day <3117>.

20. And God <0430> said <0559>, Let the waters <4325> bring

<8317> forth <8317> abundantly <8317> the moving <8318> creature

<8318> that hath life <2416>, and fowl <5775> [that] may fly

<5774> above <5921> the earth <0776> in the open <6440>

firmament <7549> of heaven <8064>.

21 And God <0430> created <1254> great <1419> whales <8577>,

and every <3605> living <2416> creature <5315> that moveth

<7430>, which <0834> the waters <4325> brought <8317> forth

<8317> abundantly <8317>, after their kind <4327>, and every

<3605> winged <3671> fowl <5775> after his kind <4327>: and God

<0430> saw <7200> that [it was] good <2896>.

22 And God <0430> blessed <1288> them, saying <0559>, Be

fruitful <6509>, and multiply <7235>, and fill <4390> the waters

<4325> in the seas <3220>, and let fowl <5775> multiply <7235>

in the earth <0776>.

23 And the evening <6153> and the morning <1242> were the fifth

<2549> day <3117>.

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

<3318> forth <3318> the living <2416> creature <5315> after his

kind <4327>, cattle <0929>, and creeping <7431> thing, and beast

<2416> of the earth <0776> after his kind <4327>: and it was so

<3651>.

25 And God <0430> made <6213> the beast <2416> of the earth

<0776> after his kind <4327>, and cattle <0929> after their kind

<4327>, and every <3605> thing that creepeth <7431> upon the

earth <0127> after his kind <4327>: and God <0430> saw <7200>

that [it was] good <2896>.

26. And God <0430> said <0559>, Let us make <6213> man <0120>

in our image <6754>, after our likeness <1823>: and let them

have dominion <7287> over the fish <1710> of the sea <3220>, and

over the fowl <5775> of the air <8064>, and over the cattle

<0929>, and over all <3605> the earth <0776>, and over every

<3605> creeping <7431> thing that creepeth <7430> upon the earth

<0776>.

27 So God <0430> created <1254> man <0120> in his [own] image

<6754>, in the image <6754> of God <0430> created <1254> he him;

male <2145> and female <5347> created <1254> he them.

28 And God <0430> blessed <1288> them, and God <0430> said

<0559> unto them, Be fruitful <6509>, and multiply <7235>, and

replenish <4390> the earth <0776>, and subdue <3533> it: and

have dominion <7287> over the fish <1710> of the sea <3220>, and

over the fowl <5775> of the air <8064>, and over every <3605>

living <2416> thing that moveth <7430> upon the earth <0776>.

29. And God <0430> said <0559>, Behold <2009>, I have given

<5414> you every <3605> herb <6212> bearing <2232> seed <2233>,

which <0834> [is] upon the face <6440> of all <3605> the earth

<0776>, and every <3605> tree <6086>, in the which <0834> [is]

the fruit <6529> of a tree <6086> yielding <2232> seed <2233>;

to you it shall be for meat <0402>.

30 And to every <3605> beast <2416> of the earth <0776>, and to

every <3605> fowl <5775> of the air <8064>, and to every <3605>

thing that creepeth <7430> upon the earth <0776>, wherein <0834>

[there is] life <2416>, [I have given] every <3605> green <3418>

herb <6212> for meat <0402>: and it was so <3651>.

31. And God <0430> saw <7200> every <3605> thing that he had

made <6213>, and, behold <2009>, [it was] very <3966> good

<2896>. And the evening <6153> and the morning <1242> were the

sixth <8345> day <3117>.

Genesis 2

1. Thus the heavens <8064> and the earth <0776> were finished

<3615>, and all <3605> the host <6635> of them.

2 And on the seventh <7637> day <3117> God <0430> ended <3615>

his work <4399> which <0834> he had made <6213>; and he rested

<7673> on the seventh <7637> day <3117> from all <3605> his work

<4399> which <0834> he had made <6213>.

3 And God <0430> blessed <1288> the seventh <7637> day <3117>,

and sanctified <6942> it: because <3588> that in it he had

rested <7673> from all <3605> his work <4399> which <0834> God

<0430> created <1254> and made <6213>.

4. These <0428> [are] the generations <8435> of the heavens

<8064> and of the earth <0776> when they were created <1254>, in

the day <3117> that the LORD <3068> God <0430> made <6213> the

earth <0776> and the heavens <8064>,

5 And every <3605> plant <7880> of the field <7704> before

<2962> it was in the earth <0776>, and every <3605> herb <6212>

of the field <7704> before <2962> it grew <6779>: for the LORD

<3068> God <0430> had not caused it to rain <4305> upon the

earth <0776>, and [there was] not a man <0120> to till <5647>

the ground <0127>.

6 But there went <5927> up a mist <0108> from the earth <0776>,

and watered <8248> the whole face <6440> of the ground <0127>.

7 And the LORD <3068> God <0430> formed <3335> man <0120> [of]

the dust <6083> of the ground <0127>, and breathed <5301> into

his nostrils <0639> the breath <5397> of life <2416>; and man

<0120> became <1961> a living <2416> soul <5315>.

8. And the LORD <3068> God <0430> planted <5193> a garden

<1588> eastward <6924> in Eden <5731>; and there <8033> he put

<7760> the man <0120> whom <0834> he had formed <3335>.

9 And out of the ground <0127> made the LORD <3068> God <0430>

to grow <6779> every <3605> tree <6086> that is pleasant <2530>

to the sight <4758>, and good <2896> for food <3978>; the tree

<6086> of life <2416> also in the midst <8432> of the garden

<1588>, and the tree <6086> of knowledge <1847> of good <2896>

and evil <7451>.

10 And a river <5104> went <3318> out of Eden <5731> to water

<8248> the garden <1588>; and from thence <8033> it was parted

<6504>, and became <1961> into four <0702> heads <7218>.

11 The name <8034> of the first <0259> [is] Pison <6376>: that

[is] it which compasseth <5437> the whole land <0776> of Havilah

<2341>, where [there is] gold <2091>;

12 And the gold <2091> of that land <0776> [is] good <2896>:

there <8033> [is] bdellium <0916> and the onyx <7718> stone <68>.

13 And the name <8034> of the second <8145> river <5104> [is]

Gihon <1521>: the same <1931> [is] it that compasseth <5437> the

whole land <0776> of Ethiopia <3568>.

14 And the name <8034> of the third <7992> river <5104> [is]

Hiddekel <2313>: that [is] it which goeth <1980> toward the east

<6926> of Assyria <0804>. And the fourth <7243> river <5104>

[is] Euphrates <6578>.

15 And the LORD <3068> God <0430> took <3947> the man <0120>,

and put <3240> him into the garden <1588> of Eden <5731> to

dress <5647> it and to keep <8104> it.

16. And the LORD <3068> God <0430> commanded <6680> the man

<0120>, saying <0559>, Of every <3605> tree <6086> of the garden

<1588> thou mayest freely eat <0398>:

17 But of the tree <6086> of the knowledge <1847> of good

<2896> and evil <7451>, thou shalt not eat <0398> of it: for in

the day <3117> that thou eatest <0398> thereof thou shalt surely

die <4191>.

18. And the LORD <3068> God <0430> said <0559>, [It is] not

good <2896> that the man <0120> should be alone <0905>; I will

make <6213> him an help <5828> meet <5828> for him.

19 And out of the ground <0127> the LORD <3068> God <0430>

formed <3335> every <3605> beast <2416> of the field <7704>, and

every <3605> fowl <5775> of the air <8064>; and brought <0935>

[them] unto Adam <0120> to see <7200> what <4100> he would call

<7121> them: and whatsoever Adam <0120> called <7121> every

living <2416> creature <5315>, that [was] the name <8034>

thereof.

20 And Adam <0120> gave <7121> names <8034> to all <3605>

cattle <0929>, and to the fowl <5775> of the air <8064>, and to

every <3605> beast <2416> of the field <7704>; but for Adam

<0120> there was not found <4672> an help <5828> meet <5828> for

him.

21. And the LORD <3068> God <0430> caused a deep <8639> sleep

<3462> to fall <5307> upon Adam <0121>, and he slept <3462>: and

he took <3947> one <0259> of his ribs <6763>, and closed <5462>

up the flesh <1320> instead <8478> thereof;

22 And the rib <6763>, which <0834> the LORD <3068> God <0430>

had taken <3947> from man <0120>, made <1129> he a woman <0802>,

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

23 And Adam <0120> said <0559>, This <2063> [is] now <6471>

bone <6106> of my bones <6106>, and flesh <1320> of my flesh

<1320>: she shall be called <7121> Woman <0802>, because <3588>

she was taken <3947> out of Man <0376>.

24 Therefore shall a man <0376> leave <5800> his father <1> and

his mother <0517>, and shall cleave <1692> unto his wife <0802>:

and they shall be one <0259> flesh <1320>.

25 And they were both <8147> naked <6174>, the man <0120> and

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

Genesis 3

1. Now the serpent <5175> was more subtil <6175> than any

<3605> beast <2416> of the field <7704> which <0834> the LORD

<3068> God <0430> had made <6213>. And he said <0559> unto the

woman <0802>, Yea, hath God <0430> said <0559>, Ye shall not eat

<0398> of every <3605> tree <6086> of the garden <1588>?

2 And the woman <0802> said <0559> unto the serpent <5175>, We

may eat <0398> of the fruit <6529> of the trees <6086> of the

garden <1588>:

3 But of the fruit <6529> of the tree <6086> which <0834> [is]

in the midst <8432> of the garden <1588>, God <0430> hath said

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

<5060> it, lest <6435> ye die <4191>.

4 And the serpent <5175> said <0559> unto the woman <0802>, Ye

shall not surely die <4191>:

5 For God <0430> doth know <3045> that in the day <3117> ye eat

<0398> thereof, then your eyes <5869> shall be opened <6491>,

and ye shall be as gods <0430>, knowing <3045> good <2896> and

evil <7451>.

6. And when the woman <0802> saw <7200> that the tree <6086>

[was] good <2896> for food <3978>, and that it [was] pleasant

<8378> to the eyes <5869>, and a tree <6086> to be desired

<2530> to make [one] wise <7919>, she took <3947> of the fruit

<6529> thereof, and did eat <0398>, and gave <5414> also <1571>

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

7 And the eyes <5869> of them both <8147> were opened <6491>,

and they knew <3045> that they [were] naked <5903>; and they

sewed <8609> fig <8384> leaves <2529> together, and made <6213>

themselves <1992> aprons <2290>.

8 And they heard <8085> the voice <6963> of the LORD <3068> God

<0430> walking <1980> in the garden <1588> in the cool <7307> of

the day <3117>: and Adam <0120> and his wife <0802> hid <2244>

themselves from the presence <6440> of the LORD <3068> God

<0430> amongst <8432> the trees <6086> of the garden <1588>.

9. And the LORD <3068> God <0430> called <7121> unto Adam

<0120>, and said <0559> unto him, Where <0335> [art] thou?

10 And he said <0559>, I heard <8085> thy voice <6963> in the

garden <1588>, and I was afraid <3372>, because <3588> I [was]

naked <5903>; and I hid <2244> myself.

11. And he said <0559>, Who <4310> told <5046> thee that thou

[wast] naked <5903>? Hast thou eaten <0398> of the tree <6086>,

whereof <0834> I commanded <6680> thee that thou shouldest not

eat <0398>?

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

thou gavest <5414> [to be] with me, she gave <5414> me of the

tree <6086>, and I did eat <0398>.

13 And the LORD <3068> God <0430> said <0559> unto the woman

<0802>, What <4100> [is] this <2063> [that] thou hast done

<6213>? And the woman <0802> said <0559>, The serpent <5175>

beguiled <5377> me, and I did eat <0398>.

14. And the LORD <3068> God <0430> said <0559> unto the serpent

<5175>, Because <3588> thou hast done <6213> this <2063>, thou

[art] cursed <0779> above all <3605> cattle <0929>, and above

every <3605> beast <2416> of the field <7704>; upon thy belly

<1512> shalt thou go <3212>, and dust <6083> shalt thou eat

<0398> all <3605> the days <3117> of thy life <2416>:

15 And I will put <7896> enmity <0342> between <0996> thee and

the woman <0802>, and between <0996> thy seed <2233> and her

seed <2233>; it shall bruise <7779> thy head <7218>, and thou

shalt bruise <7779> his heel <6119>.

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

multiply <7235> thy sorrow <6093> and thy conception <2032>; in

sorrow <6089> thou shalt bring <3205> forth <3205> children

<1121>; and thy desire <8669> [shall be] to thy husband <0376>,

and he shall rule <4910> over thee.

17. And unto Adam <0121> he said <0559>, Because <3588> thou

hast hearkened <8085> unto the voice <6963> of thy wife <0802>,

and hast eaten <0398> of the tree <6086>, of which <0834> I

commanded <6680> thee, saying <0559>, Thou shalt not eat <0398>

of it: cursed <0779> [is] the ground <0127> for thy sake <5668>;

in sorrow <6093> shalt thou eat <0398> [of] it all <3605> the

days <3117> of thy life <2416>;

18 Thorns <6975> also and thistles <1863> shall it bring <6779>

forth <6779> to thee; and thou shalt eat <0398> the herb <6212>

of the field <7704>;

19 In the sweat <2188> of thy face <0639> shalt thou eat <0398>

bread <3899>, till <5704> thou return <7725> unto the ground

<0127>; for out of it wast thou taken <3947>: for dust <6083>

thou [art], and unto dust <6083> shalt thou return <7725>.

20. And Adam <0120> called <7121> his wife's <0802> name <8034>

Eve <2332>; because <3588> she was the mother <0517> of all

<3605> living <2416>.

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

<3068> God <0430> make <6213> coats <3801> of skins <5785>, and

clothed <3847> them.

22. And the LORD <3068> God <0430> said <0559>, Behold <2005>,

the man <0120> is become <1961> as one <0259> of us, to know

<3045> good <2896> and evil <7451>: and now <6258>, lest <6435>

he put <7971> forth <7971> his hand <3027>, and take <3947> also

<1571> of the tree <6086> of life <2416>, and eat <0398>, and

live <2425> for ever <5769>:

23 Therefore the LORD <3068> God <0430> sent <7971> him forth

from the garden <1588> of Eden <5731>, to till <5647> the ground

<0127> from whence he was taken <3947>.

24 So he drove <1644> out the man <0120>; and he placed <7931>

at the east <6924> of the garden <1588> of Eden <5731> Cherubims

<3742>, and a flaming <3858> sword <2719> which turned <2015>

every way, to keep <8104> the way of the tree <6086> of life

<2416>.

Genesis 4

1. And Adam <0120> knew <3045> Eve <2332> his wife <0802>; and

she conceived <2030>, and bare <3205> Cain <7014>, and said

<0559>, I have <1961> gotten <7069> a man <0376> from the LORD

<3068>.

2 And she again <3254> bare <3205> his brother <0251> Abel

<1893>. And Abel <1893> was a keeper <7462> of sheep <6629>, but

Cain <7014> was a tiller <5647> of the ground <0127>.

3. And in process <7093> of time <3117> it came <1961> to pass,

that Cain <7014> brought <0935> of the fruit <6529> of the

ground <0127> an offering <4503> unto the LORD <3068>.

4 And Abel <1893>, he also <1571> brought <0935> of the

firstlings <1062> of his flock <6629> and of the fat <2459>

thereof. And the LORD <3068> had respect <8159> unto Abel <1893>

and to his offering <4503>:

5 But unto Cain <7014> and to his offering <4503> he had not

respect <8159>. And Cain <7014> was very <3966> wroth <2734>,

and his countenance <6440> fell <5307>.

6. And the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto Cain <7014>, Why <4100>

art thou wroth <2734>? and why <4100> is thy countenance <6440>

fallen <5307>?

7 If <0518> thou doest well <3190>, shalt thou not be accepted

<7613>? and if <0518> thou doest not well <3190>, sin <2403>

lieth <7257> at the door <6607>. And unto thee [shall be] his

desire <8669>, and thou shalt rule <4910> over him.

8. And Cain <7014> talked <0559> with Abel <1893> his brother

<0251>: and it came <1961> to pass, when they were in the field

<7704>, that Cain <7014> rose <6965> up against <0413> Abel

<1893> his brother <0251>, and slew <2026> him.

9. And the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto Cain <7014>, Where

<0335> [is] Abel <1893> thy brother <0251>? And he said <0559>,

I know <3045> not: [Am] I my brother's <0251> keeper <8104>?

10 And he said <0559>, What <4100> hast thou done <6213>? the

voice <6963> of thy brother's <0251> blood <1818> crieth <6817>

unto me from the ground <0127>.

11 And now <6258> [art] thou cursed <0779> from the earth

<0127>, which <0834> hath opened <6475> her mouth <6310> to

receive <3947> thy brother's <0251> blood <1818> from thy hand

<3027>;

12 When <3588> thou tillest <5647> the ground <0127>, it shall

not henceforth <3254> yield <5414> unto thee her strength <3581>;

a fugitive <5128> and a vagabond <5110> shalt thou be in the

earth <0776>.

13. And Cain <7014> said <0559> unto the LORD <3068>, My

punishment <5771> [is] greater <1419> than I can bear <5375>.

14 Behold <2005>, thou hast driven <1644> me out this day

<3117> from the face <6440> of the earth <0127>; and from thy

face <6440> shall I be hid <5641>; and I shall be a fugitive

<5128> and a vagabond <5110> in the earth <0776>; and it shall

come <1961> to pass, [that] every <3605> one that findeth <4672>

me shall slay <2026> me.

15 And the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto him, Therefore <3767>

whosoever <3605> slayeth <2026> Cain <7014>, vengeance <5358>

shall be taken on him sevenfold <7659>. And the LORD <3068> set

<7760> a mark <0226> upon Cain <7014>, lest <1115> any <3605>

finding <4672> him should kill <5221> him.

16. And Cain <7014> went <3318> out from the presence <6440> of

the LORD <3068>, and dwelt <3427> in the land <0776> of Nod

<5113>, on the east <6926> of Eden <5731>.

17 And Cain <7014> knew <3045> his wife <0802>; and she

conceived <2030>, and bare <3205> Enoch <2585>: and he builded

<1129> a city <5892>, and called <7121> the name <8034> of the

city <5892>, after the name <8034> of his son <1121>, Enoch

<2585>.

18 And unto Enoch <2585> was born <3205> Irad <5897>: and Irad

<5897> begat <3205> Mehujael <4232>: and Mehujael <4232> begat

<3205> Methusael <4967>: and Methusael <4967> begat <3205>

Lamech <3929>.

19. And Lamech <3929> took <3947> unto him two <8147> wives

<0802>: the name <8034> of the one <0259> [was] Adah <5711>, and

the name <8034> of the other <8145> Zillah <6741>.

20 And Adah <5711> bare <3205> Jabal <2989>: he was the father

<1> of such as dwell <3427> in tents <0168>, and [of such as

have] cattle <4735>.

21 And his brother's <0251> name <8034> [was] Jubal <3106>: he

was the father <1> of all <3605> such as handle <8610> the harp

<3658> and organ <5748>.

22 And Zillah <6741>, she also <1571> bare <3205> Tubalcain

<8423>, an instructer <3913> of every <3605> artificer <2794> in

brass <5178> and iron <1270>: and the sister <0269> of Tubalcain

<8423> [was] Naamah <5279>.

23. And Lamech <3929> said <0559> unto his wives <0802>, Adah

<5711> and Zillah <6741>, Hear <8085> my voice <6963>; ye wives

<0802> of Lamech <3929>, hearken <0238> unto my speech <0565>:

for I have slain <2026> a man <0376> to my wounding <6482>, and

a young <3206> man to my hurt <2250>.

24 If <3588> Cain <7014> shall be avenged <5358> sevenfold

<7659>, truly <0571> Lamech <3929> seventy <7657> and sevenfold

<7659>.

25. And Adam <0120> knew <3045> his wife <0802> again <5750>;

and she bare <3205> a son <1121>, and called <7121> his name

<8034> Seth <8352>: For God <0430>, [said she], hath appointed

<7896> me another <0312> seed <2233> instead <8478> of Abel

<1893>, whom <3588> Cain <7014> slew <2026>.

26 And to Seth <8352>, to him also <1571> there was born <3205>

a son <1121>; and he called <7121> his name <8034> Enos <0583>:

then <0227> began <2490> men <0582> to call <7121> upon the name

<8034> of the LORD <3068>.

Genesis 5

1. This <2088> [is] the book <5612> of the generations <8435>

of Adam <0120>. In the day <3117> that God <0430> created <1254>

man <0120>, in the likeness <1823> of God <0430> made <6213> he

him;

2 Male <2145> and female <5347> created <1254> he them; and

blessed <1288> them, and called <7121> their name <8034> Adam

<0120>, in the day <3117> when they were created <1254>.

3 And Adam <0121> lived <2421> an hundred <3967> and thirty

years <8141>, and begat <3205> sons <1121> and daughters <1323>:

14 And all <3605> the days <3117> of Cainan <7018> were nine

<7970> years <8141>, and begat <3205> sons <1121> and daughters

<1323>:

17 And all <3605> the days <3117> of Mahalaleel <4111> were

he begat <3205> Methuselah <4968> three <7969> hundred <3967>

years <8141>, and begat <3205> sons <1121> and daughters <1363>:

<7969> hundred <3967> sixty <8346> and five <2568> years <8141>:

24 And Enoch <2585> walked <1980> with God <0430>: and he [was]

not; for God <0430> took <3947> him.

<1121>:

29 And he called <7121> his name <8034> Noah <5146>, saying

<0559>, This <2088> [same] shall comfort <5162> us concerning

our work <4639> and toil <6093> of our hands <3027>, because

<4480> of the ground <0127> which <0834> the LORD <3068> hath

cursed <0779>.

30 And Lamech <3929> lived <2421> after <0310> he begat <3205>

and Japheth <3315>.

Genesis 6

1. And it came <1961> to pass, when <3588> men <0120> began

<2490> to multiply <7231> on <5921> the face <6440> of the earth

<0127>, and daughters <1323> were born <3205> unto them,

2 That the sons <1121> of God <0430> saw <7200> the daughters

<1363> of men <0120> that they [were] fair <2896>; and they took

<3947> them wives <0802> of all <3605> which <0834> they chose

<0977>.

3. And the LORD <3068> said <0559>, My spirit <7307> shall not

always <5769> strive <1777> with man <0120>, for that he also

<7683> [is] flesh <1320>: yet his days <3117> shall be an

hundred <3967> and twenty <6242> years <8141>.

4. There were giants <5303> in the earth <0776> in those <1992>

days <3117>; and also <1571> after <0310> that, when <0834> the

sons <1121> of God <0430> came <0935> in unto the daughters

<1363> of men <0120>, and they bare <3205> [children] to them,

the same <1992> [became] mighty <1368> men <0120> which <0834>

[were] of old <5769>, men <0582> of renown <8034>.

5 And GOD <3068> saw <7200> that the wickedness <7451> of man

<0120> [was] great <7227> in the earth <0776>, and [that] every

<3605> imagination <3336> of the thoughts <4284> of his heart

<3820> [was] only <7535> evil <7451> continually.

6. And it repented <5162> the LORD <3068> that he had made

<6213> man <0120> on the earth <0776>, and it grieved <6087> him

at <0413> his heart <3820>.

7 And the LORD <3068> said <0559>, I will destroy <4229> man

<0120> whom <0834> I have created <1254> from the face <6440> of

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

creeping <7431> thing, and the fowls <5775> of the air <8064>;

for it repenteth <5162> me that I have made <6213> them.

8. But Noah <5146> found <4672> grace <2580> in the eyes <5869>

of the LORD <3068>.

9 These <0428> [are] the generations <8435> of Noah <5146>:

Noah <5146> was a just <6662> man <0376> [and] perfect <8549> in

his generations <8435>, [and] Noah <5146> walked <1980> with God

<0430>.

10 And Noah <5146> begat <3205> three <7969> sons <1121>, Shem

<8035>, Ham <2526>, and Japheth <3315>.

11. The earth <0776> also was corrupt <7843> before <6440> God

<0430>, and the earth <0776> was filled <4390> with violence

<2555>.

12 And God <0430> looked <7200> upon the earth <0776>, and,

behold <2009>, it was corrupt <7843>; for all <3605> flesh

<1320> had corrupted <7843> his way upon the earth <0776>.

13. And God <0430> said <0559> unto Noah <5146>, The end <7093>

of all <3605> flesh <1320> is come <0935> before <6440> me; for

the earth <0776> is filled <4390> with violence <2555> through

<6440> them; and, behold <2005>, I will destroy <7843> them with

the earth <0776>.

14 Make <6213> thee an ark <8392> of gopher <1613> wood <6086>;

rooms <7064> shalt thou make <6213> in the ark <8392>, and shalt

pitch <3724> it within <1004> and without <2351> with pitch

<3724>.

15 And this <2088> [is the fashion] which <0834> thou shalt

make <6213> it [of]: The length <0753> of the ark <8392> [shall

be] three <7969> hundred <3967> cubits <0520>, the breadth

<7341> of it fifty <2572> cubits <0520>, and the height <6967>

of it thirty <7970> cubits <0520>.

16 A window <6672> shalt thou make <6213> to the ark <8392>,

and in a cubit <0520> shalt thou finish <3615> it above <4605>;

and the door <6607> of the ark <8392> shalt thou set <7760> in

the side <6654> thereof; [with] lower <8482>, second <8145>, and

third <7992> [stories] shalt thou make <6213> it.

17 And, behold <2005>, I, even I, do bring <0935> a flood

<3999> of waters <4325> upon the earth <0776>, to destroy <7843>

all <3605> flesh <1320>, wherein <0834> [is] the breath <7307>

of life <2416>, from under <8478> heaven <8064>; [and] every

<3605> thing that [is] in the earth <0776> shall die <1478>.

18 But with thee will I establish <6965> my covenant <1285>;

and thou shalt come <0935> into <0413> the ark <8392>, thou, and

thy sons <1121>, and thy wife <0802>, and thy sons <1121>' wives

<0802> with thee.

19 And of every <3605> living <2416> thing of all <3605> flesh

<1320>, two <8147> of every <3605> [sort] shalt thou bring

<0935> into <0413> the ark <8392>, to keep <8104> [them] alive

<2421> with thee; they shall be male <2145> and female <5347>.

20 Of fowls <5775> after their kind <4327>, and of cattle

<0929> after their kind <4327>, of every <3605> creeping <7431>

thing of the earth <0127> after his kind <4327>, two <8147> of

every <3605> [sort] shall come <0935> unto thee, to keep <8104>

[them] alive <2421>.

21 And take <3947> thou unto thee of all <3605> food <3978>

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

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

22. Thus did <6213> Noah <5146>; according to all <3605> that

God <0430> commanded <6680> him, so <3651> did <6213> he.

Genesis 7

1. And the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto Noah <5146>, Come

<0935> thou and all <3605> thy house <1004> into <0413> the ark

<8392>; for thee have I seen <7200> righteous <6662> before

<6440> me in this <2088> generation <1755>.

2 Of every <3605> clean <2889> beast <0929> thou shalt take

<3947> to thee by sevens <7651>, the male <0376> and his female

<0802>: and of beasts <0929> that [are] not clean <2889> by two

<8147>, the male <0376> and his female <0802>.

3 Of fowls <5775> also <1571> of the air <8064> by sevens

<7651>, the male <2145> and the female <5347>; to keep seed

<2233> alive <2421> upon the face <6440> of all <3605> the earth

<0776>.

4 For yet <5750> seven <7651> days <3117>, and I will cause it

to rain <4305> upon the earth <0776> forty <0705> days <3117>

and forty <0705> nights <3915>; and every <3605> living

substance <3351> that I have made <6213> will I destroy <4229>

from off <5921> the face <6440> of the earth <0127>.

5. And Noah <5146> did <6213> according unto all <3605> that

the LORD <3068> commanded <6680> him.

6 And Noah <5146> [was] six <8337> hundred <3967> years <8141>

old <1121> when the flood <3999> of waters <4325> was upon the

earth <0776>.

7 And Noah <5146> went <0935> in, and his sons <1121>, and his

wife <0802>, and his sons <1121>' wives <0802> with him, into

<0413> the ark <8392>, because <6440> of the waters <4325> of

the flood <3999>.

8 Of clean <2889> beasts <0929>, and of beasts <0929> that

[are] not clean <2889>, and of fowls <5775>, and of every <3605>

thing that creepeth <7430> upon the earth <0127>,

9 There went <0935> in two <8147> and two <8147> unto Noah

<5146> into <0413> the ark <8392>, the male <2145> and the

female <5347>, as God <0430> had commanded <6680> Noah <5146>.

10 And it came <1961> to pass after seven <7651> days <3117>,

that the waters <4325> of the flood <3999> were upon the earth

<0776>.

11. In the six <8337> hundredth <3967> year <8141> of Noah's

<5146> life <2416>, in the second <8145> month <2320>, the

seventeenth <7651> day <3117> of the month <2320>, the same

<2088> day <3117> were all <3605> the fountains <4599> of the

great <7227> deep <8415> broken <1234> up, and the windows

<0699> of heaven <8064> were opened <6605>.

12 And the rain <1653> was upon the earth <0776> forty <0705>

days <3117> and forty <0705> nights <3915>.

13. In the selfsame day <3117> entered <0935> Noah <5146>, and

Shem <8035>, and Ham <2526>, and Japheth <3315>, the sons <1121>

of Noah <5146>, and Noah's <5146> wife <0802>, and the three

<7969> wives <0802> of his sons <1121> with them, into <0413>

the ark <8392>;

14 They, and every <3605> beast <2416> after his kind <4327>,

and all <3605> the cattle <0929> after their kind <4327>, and

every <3605> creeping <7431> thing that creepeth <7430> upon the

earth <0776> after his kind <4327>, and every <3605> fowl <5775>

after his kind <4327>, every <3605> bird <6833> of every <3605>

sort <3671>.

15 And they went <0935> in unto Noah <5146> into <0413> the ark

<8392>, two <8147> and two <8147> of all <3605> flesh <1320>,

wherein <0834> [is] the breath <7307> of life <2416>.

16 And they that went <0935> in, went <0935> in male <2145> and

female <5347> of all <3605> flesh <1320>, as God <0430> had

commanded <6680> him: and the LORD <3068> shut <5462> him in.

17. And the flood <3999> was forty <0705> days <3117> upon the

earth <0776>; and the waters <4325> increased <7235>, and bare

<5375> up the ark <8392>, and it was lift <7311> up above <5921>

the earth <0776>.

18 And the waters <4325> prevailed <1396>, and were increased

<7235> greatly <3966> upon the earth <0776>; and the ark <8392>

went <3212> upon the face <6440> of the waters <4325>.

19 And the waters <4325> prevailed <1396> exceedingly <3966>

upon the earth <0776>; and all <3605> the high <1364> hills

<2022>, that [were] under <8478> the whole <3605> heaven <8064>,

were covered <3680>.

20 Fifteen <6240> cubits <0520> upward <4605> did the waters

<4325> prevail <1396>; and the mountains <2022> were covered

<3680>.

21. And all <3605> flesh <1320> died <1478> that moved <7430>

upon the earth <0776>, both of fowl <5775>, and of cattle <0929>,

and of beast <2416>, and of every <3605> creeping <8318> thing

that creepeth <8317> upon the earth <0776>, and every <3605> man

<0120>:

22 All <3605> in whose <0834> nostrils <0639> [was] the breath

<5397> of life <2416>, of all <3605> that [was] in the dry

<2724> [land], died <4191>.

23 And every <3605> living substance <3351> was destroyed

<4229> which <0834> was upon the face <6440> of the ground

<0127>, both man <0120>, and cattle <0929>, and the creeping

<7431> things, and the fowl <5775> of the heaven <8064>; and

they were destroyed <4229> from the earth <0776>: and Noah

<5146> only <0389> remained <7604> [alive], and they that [were]

with him in the ark <8392>.

24 And the waters <4325> prevailed <1396> upon the earth <0776>

an hundred <3967> and fifty <2572> days <3117>.

Genesis 8

1. And God <0430> remembered <2142> Noah <5146>, and every

<3605> living <2416> thing, and all <3605> the cattle <0929>

that [was] with him in the ark <8392>: and God <0430> made a

wind <7307> to pass <5674> over <5921> the earth <0776>, and the

waters <4325> asswaged <7918>;

2 The fountains <4599> also of the deep <8415> and the windows

<0699> of heaven <8064> were stopped <5534>, and the rain <1653>

from heaven <8064> was restrained <3607>;

3 And the waters <4325> returned <7725> from off <5921> the

earth <0776> continually: and after the end <7097> of the

hundred <3967> and fifty <2572> days <3117> the waters <4325>

were abated <2637>.

4. And the ark <8392> rested <5117> in the seventh <7637> month

<2320>, on the seventeenth <7651> day <3117> of the month <2320>,

upon the mountains <2022> of Ararat <0780>.

5 And the waters <4325> decreased <2637> continually <1980>

until <5704> the tenth <6224> month <2320>: in the tenth <6224>

[month], on the first <0259> [day <3117>] of the month <2320>,

were the tops <7218> of the mountains <2022> seen <7200>.

6. And it came <1961> to pass at the end <7093> of forty <0705>

days <3117>, that Noah <5146> opened <6605> the window <2474> of

the ark <8392> which <0834> he had made <6213>:

7 And he sent <7971> forth a raven <6158>, which went <3318>

forth <3318> to and fro <7725>, until <5704> the waters <4325>

were dried <3001> up from off <5921> the earth <0776>.

8 Also he sent <7971> forth a dove <3123> from him, to see

<7200> if the waters <4325> were abated <7043> from off <5921>

the face <6440> of the ground <0127>;

9 But the dove <3123> found <4672> no <3808> rest <4494> for

the sole <3709> of her foot <7272>, and she returned <7725> unto

him into <0413> the ark <8392>, for the waters <4325> [were] on

<5921> the face <6440> of the whole <3605> earth <0776>: then he

put <7971> forth <7971> his hand <3027>, and took <3947> her,

and pulled <4026> her in unto him into <0413> the ark <8392>.

10 And he stayed <2342> yet other <0312> seven <7651> days

<3117>; and again <3254> he sent <7971> forth the dove <3123>

out of the ark <8392>;

11 And the dove <3123> came <0935> in to him in the evening

<6153>; and, lo <2009>, in her mouth <6310> [was] an olive

<2132> leaf <5929> pluckt <2965> off: so Noah <5146> knew <3045>

that the waters <4325> were abated <7043> from off <5921> the

earth <0776>.

12 And he stayed <3176> yet other <0312> seven <7651> days

<3117>; and sent <7971> forth the dove <3123>; which returned

<7725> not again <3254> unto him any <5750> more <5750>.

13. And it came <1961> to pass in the six <8337> hundredth

<3967> and first <7223> year <8141>, in the first <7223> [month],

the first <0259> [day <3117>] of the month <2320>, the waters

<4325> were dried <2717> up from off <5921> the earth <0776>:

and Noah <5146> removed <5493> the covering <4372> of the ark

<8392>, and looked <7200>, and, behold <2009>, the face <6440>

of the ground <0127> was dry <2720>.

14 And in the second <8145> month <2320>, on the seven <7651>

and twentieth <6242> day <3117> of the month <2320>, was the

earth <0776> dried <3001>.

15. And God <0430> spake <1696> unto Noah <5146>, saying <0559>,

16 Go <3318> forth <3318> of the ark <8392>, thou, and thy wife

<0802>, and thy sons <1121>, and thy sons <1121>' wives <0802>

with thee.

17 Bring <3318> forth <3318> with thee every <3605> living

<2416> thing that [is] with thee, of all <3605> flesh <1320>,

[both] of fowl <5775>, and of cattle <0929>, and of every <3605>

creeping <7431> thing that creepeth <7430> upon the earth <0776>;

that they may breed <8317> abundantly <8317> in the earth

<0776>, and be fruitful <6509>, and multiply <7235> upon the

earth <0776>.

18 And Noah <5146> went <3318> forth <3318>, and his sons

<1121>, and his wife <0802>, and his sons <1121>' wives <0802>

with him:

19 Every <3605> beast <2416>, every <3605> creeping <7431>

thing, and every <3605> fowl <5775>, [and] whatsoever <3605>

creepeth <7430> upon the earth <0776>, after their kinds <4940>,

went <3318> forth <3318> out of the ark <8392>.

20. And Noah <5146> builded <1129> an altar <4196> unto the

LORD <3068>; and took <3947> of every <3605> clean <2889> beast

<0929>, and of every <3605> clean <2889> fowl <5775>, and

offered <5927> burnt <5930> offerings on the altar <4196>.

21 And the LORD <3068> smelled <7306> a sweet <5207> savour

<7381>; and the LORD <3068> said <0559> in his heart <3820>, I

will not again <3254> curse <7043> the ground <0127> any <5750>

more <5750> for man's <0120> sake <5668>; for the imagination

<3336> of man's <0120> heart <3820> [is] evil <7451> from his

youth <5271>; neither will I again <3254> smite <5221> any

<5750> more <5750> every <3605> thing living <2416>, as I have

done <6213>.

22 While <5750> the earth <0776> remaineth <3117>, seedtime

<2233> and harvest <7105>, and cold <7120> and heat <2527>, and

summer <7019> and winter <2779>, and day <3117> and night <3915>

shall not cease <7673>.

Genesis 9

1. And God <0430> blessed <1288> Noah <5146> and his sons

<1121>, and said <0559> unto them, Be fruitful <6509>, and

multiply <7235>, and replenish <4390> the earth <0776>.

2 And the fear <4172> of you and the dread <2844> of you shall

be upon every <3605> beast <2416> of the earth <0776>, and upon

every fowl <5775> of the air <8064>, upon all <3605> that moveth

<7430> [upon] the earth <0127>, and upon all <3605> the fishes

<1709> of the sea <3220>; into your hand <3027> are they

delivered <5414>.

3 Every <3605> moving <7430> thing that liveth <2416> shall be

meat <0402> for you; even as the green <3418> herb <6212> have I

given <5414> you all <3605> things.

4 But flesh <1320> with the life <5315> thereof, [which is] the

blood <1818> thereof, shall ye not eat <0398>.

5 And surely <0389> your blood <1818> of your lives <5315> will

I require <1875>; at the hand <3027> of every beast <2416> will

I require <1875> it, and at the hand <3027> of man <0120>; at

the hand <3027> of every man's <0120> brother <0251> will I

require <1875> the life <5315> of man <0120>.

6 Whoso sheddeth <8210> man's <0120> blood <1818>, by man

<0120> shall his blood <1818> be shed <8210>: for in the image

<6754> of God <0430> made <6213> he man <0120>.

7 And you, be ye fruitful <6509>, and multiply <7235>; bring

<8317> forth <8317> abundantly <8317> in the earth <0776>, and

multiply <7235> therein.

8. And God <0430> spake <0559> unto Noah <5146>, and to his

sons <1121> with him, saying <0559>,

9 And I, behold <2005>, I establish <6965> my covenant <1285>

with you, and with your seed <2233> after <0310> you;

10 And with every <3605> living <2416> creature <5315> that

[is] with you, of the fowl <5775>, of the cattle <0929>, and of

every <3605> beast <2416> of the earth <0776> with you; from all

<3605> that go <3318> out of the ark <8392>, to every <3605>

beast <2416> of the earth <0776>.

11 And I will establish <6965> my covenant <1285> with you;

neither <3808> shall all <3605> flesh <1320> be cut <3772> off

any <5750> more <5750> by the waters <4325> of a flood <3999>;

neither <3808> shall there any <5750> more <5750> be a flood

<3999> to destroy <7843> the earth <0776>.

12. And God <0430> said <0559>, This <2063> [is] the token

<0226> of the covenant <1285> which <0834> I make <5414> between

<0996> me and you and every <3605> living <2416> creature <5315>

that [is] with you, for perpetual <5769> generations <1755>:

13 I do set <5414> my bow <7198> in the cloud <6051>, and it

shall be for a token <0226> of a covenant <1285> between <0996>

me and the earth <0776>.

14 And it shall come <0935> to pass, when I bring <6049> a

cloud <6051> over <5921> the earth <0776>, that the bow <7198>

shall be seen <7200> in the cloud <6051>:

15 And I will remember <2142> my covenant <1285>, which <0834>

[is] between <0996> me and you and every <3605> living <2416>

creature <5315> of all <3605> flesh <1320>; and the waters

<4325> shall no <3808> more <5750> become <1961> a flood <3999>

to destroy <7843> all <3605> flesh <1320>.

16 And the bow <7198> shall be in the cloud <6051>; and I will

look <7200> upon it, that I may remember <2142> the everlasting

<5769> covenant <1285> between <0996> God <0430> and every

<3605> living <2416> creature <5315> of all <3605> flesh <1320>

that [is] upon the earth <0776>.

17 And God <0430> said <0559> unto Noah <5146>, This [is] the

token <0226> of the covenant <1285>, which <0834> I have

established <6965> between <0996> me and all <3605> flesh <1320>

that [is] upon the earth <0776>.

18. And the sons <1121> of Noah <5146>, that went <3318> forth

<3318> of the ark <8392>, were Shem <8035>, and Ham <2526>, and

Japheth <3315>: and Ham <2526> [is] the father <1> of Canaan

<3667>.

19 These <0428> [are] the three <7969> sons <1121> of Noah

<5146>: and of them was the whole <3605> earth <0776> overspread

<5310>.

20 And Noah <5146> began <2490> [to be] an husbandman, and he

planted <5193> a vineyard <3754>:

21 And he drank <8354> of the wine <3196>, and was drunken

<7943>; and he was uncovered <1540> within <8432> his tent

<0168>.

22 And Ham <2526>, the father <1> of Canaan <3667>, saw <7200>

the nakedness <6172> of his father <1>, and told <5046> his two

<8147> brethren <0251> without <2351>.

23 And Shem <8035> and Japheth <3315> took <3947> a garment

<8071>, and laid <7760> [it] upon both <8147> their shoulders

<7926>, and went <3212> backward <0322>, and covered <3680> the

nakedness <6172> of their father <1>; and their faces <6440>

[were] backward <0322>, and they saw <7200> not their father's

<1> nakedness <6172>.

24. And Noah <5146> awoke <3364> from his wine <3196>, and knew

<3045> what his younger <6996> son <1121> had done <6213> unto

him.

25 And he said <0559>, Cursed <0779> [be] Canaan <3667>; a

servant <5650> of servants <5650> shall he be unto his brethren

<0251>.

26 And he said <0559>, Blessed <1288> [be] the LORD <3068> God

<0430> of Shem <8035>; and Canaan <3667> shall be his servant

<5650>.

27 God <0430> shall enlarge <6601> Japheth <3315>, and he shall

dwell <7931> in the tents <0168> of Shem <8035>; and Canaan

<3667> shall be his servant <5650>.

28. And Noah <5146> lived <2421> after <0310> the flood <3999>

three <7969> hundred <3967> and fifty <2572> years <8141>.

29 And all <3605> the days <3117> of Noah <5146> were nine

<8672> hundred <3967> and fifty <2572> years <8141>: and he died

<4191>.

Genesis 10

1. Now these <0428> [are] the generations <8435> of the sons

<1121> of Noah <5146>, Shem <8035>, Ham <2526>, and Japheth

<3315>: and unto them were sons <1121> born <3205> after <0310>

the flood <3999>.

2 The sons <1121> of Japheth <3315>; Gomer <1586>, and Magog

<4031>, and Madai <4074>, and Javan <3120>, and Tubal <8422>,

and Meshech <4902>, and Tiras <8493>.

3 And the sons <1121> of Gomer <1586>; Ashkenaz <0813>, and

Riphath <7384>, and Togarmah <8425>.

4 And the sons <1121> of Javan <3120>; Elishah <0473>, and

Tarshish <8659>, Kittim <3794>, and Dodanim <1721>.

5 By these <0428> were the isles <0339> of the Gentiles <1471>

divided <6504> in their lands <0776>; every <0376> one <0376>

after his tongue <3956>, after their families <4940>, in their

nations <1471>.

6. And the sons <1121> of Ham <2526>; Cush <3568>, and Mizraim

<4714>, and Phut <6316>, and Canaan <3667>.

7 And the sons <1121> of Cush <3568>; Seba <5434>, and Havilah

<2341>, and Sabtah <5454>, and Raamah <7484>, and Sabtecha

<5455>: and the sons <1121> of Raamah <7484>; Sheba <7614>, and

Dedan <1719>.

8 And Cush <3568> begat <3205> Nimrod <5248>: he began <2490>

to be a mighty <1368> one in the earth <0776>.

9 He was a mighty <1368> hunter <6718> before <6440> the LORD

<3068>: wherefore it is said <0559>, Even as Nimrod <5248> the

mighty <1368> hunter <6718> before <6440> the LORD <3068>.

10 And the beginning <7225> of his kingdom <4467> was Babel

<0894>, and Erech <0751>, and Accad <0390>, and Calneh <3641>,

in the land <0776> of Shinar <8152>.

11 Out of that land <0776> went <3318> forth <3318> Asshur

<0804>, and builded <1129> Nineveh <5210>, and the city <5892>

Rehoboth <7344>, and Calah <3625>,

12 And Resen <7449> between <0996> Nineveh <5210> and Calah

<3625>: the same <1931> [is] a great <1419> city <5892>.

13 And Mizraim <4714> begat <3205> Ludim <3866>, and Anamim

<6047>, and Lehabim <3853>, and Naphtuhim <5320>,

14 And Pathrusim <6625>, and Casluhim <3695>, (out of whom

<0834> came <3318> Philistim <6430>,) and Caphtorim <3732>.

15. And Canaan <3667> begat <3205> Sidon <6721> his firstborn

<1060>, and Heth <2845>,

16 And the Jebusite <2983>, and the Amorite <0567>, and the

Girgasite <1622>,

17 And the Hivite <2340>, and the Arkite <6208>, and the Sinite

<5513>,

18 And the Arvadite <0721>, and the Zemarite <6786>, and the

Hamathite <2577>: and afterward <0310> were the families <4940>

of the Canaanites <3669> spread <6327> abroad <5310>.

19 And the border <1366> of the Canaanites <3669> was from

Sidon <6721>, as thou comest <0935> to Gerar <1642>, unto Gaza

<5804>; as thou goest <0935>, unto Sodom <5467>, and Gomorrah

<6017>, and Admah <0126>, and Zeboim <6636>, even unto Lasha

<3962>.

20 These <0428> [are] the sons <1121> of Ham <2526>, after

their families <4940>, after their tongues <3956>, in their

countries <0776>, [and] in their nations <1471>.

21. Unto Shem <8035> also <1571>, the father <1> of all <3605>

the children <1121> of Eber <5677>, the brother <0251> of

Japheth <3315> the elder <1419>, even <1571> to him were

[children] born <3205>.

22 The children <1121> of Shem <8035>; Elam <5867>, and Asshur

<0804>, and Arphaxad <0775>, and Lud <3865>, and Aram <0758>.

23 And the children <1121> of Aram <0758>; Uz <5780>, and Hul

<2343>, and Gether <1666>, and Mash <4851>.

24 And Arphaxad <0775> begat <3205> Salah <7974>; and Salah

<7974> begat <3205> Eber <5677>.

25 And unto Eber <5677> were born <3205> two <8147> sons <1121>:

the name <8034> of one <0259> [was] Peleg <6389>; for in his

days <3117> was the earth <0776> divided <6385>; and his

brother's <0251> name <8034> [was] Joktan <3355>.

26 And Joktan <3355> begat <3205> Almodad <0486>, and Sheleph

<8026>, and Hazarmaveth <2700>, and Jerah <3392>,

27 And Hadoram <1913>, and Uzal <0187>, and Diklah <1853>,

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

29 And Ophir <0211>, and Havilah <2341>, and Jobab <3103>: all

<3605> these <0428> [were] the sons <1121> of Joktan <3355>.

30 And their dwelling <4186> was from Mesha <4331>, as thou

goest <0935> unto Sephar <5611> a mount <2022> of the east

<6924>.

31 These <0428> [are] the sons <1121> of Shem <8035>, after

their families <4940>, after their tongues <3956>, in their

lands <0776>, after their nations <1471>.

32 These <0428> [are] the families <4940> of the sons <1121> of

Noah <5146>, after their generations <8435>, in their nations

<1471>: and by these <0428> were the nations <1471> divided

<5504> in the earth <0776> after <0310> the flood <3999>.

Genesis 11

1. And the whole <3605> earth <0776> was of one <0259> language

<8193>, and of one <0259> speech <1697>.

2 And it came <1961> to pass, as they journeyed <5265> from the

east <6924>, that they found <4672> a plain <1237> in the land

<0776> of Shinar <8152>; and they dwelt <3427> there <8033>.

3 And they said <0559> one <0376> to another <7453>, Go <3051>

to, let us make brick <3835>, and burn <8313> them throughly.

And they had <1961> brick <3843> for stone <68>, and slime

<2564> had <1961> they for morter <2563>.

4 And they said <0559>, Go <3051> to, let us build <1129> us a

city <5892> and a tower <4026>, whose top <7218> [may reach]

unto heaven <8064>; and let us make <6213> us a name <8034>,

lest <6435> we be scattered <6327> abroad <6527> upon the face

<6440> of the whole <3605> earth <0776>.

5. And the LORD <3068> came <3381> down <3381> to see <7200>

the city <5892> and the tower <4026>, which <0834> the children

<1121> of men <0120> builded <1129>.

6 And the LORD <3068> said <0559>, Behold <2005>, the people

<5971> [is] one <0259>, and they have all <3605> one <0259>

language <8193>; and this <2088> they begin <2490> to do <6213>:

and now <6258> nothing will be restrained <1219> from them,

which they have imagined <2161> to do <6213>.

7 Go <3051> to, let us go <3381> down <3381>, and there <8033>

confound <1101> their language <8193>, that they may not

understand <8085> one <0376> another's <7453> speech <8193>.

8 So the LORD <3068> scattered <6327> them abroad <6527> from

thence <8033> upon the face <6440> of all <3605> the earth

<0776>: and they left <2308> off to build <1129> the city <5892>.

9 Therefore is the name <8034> of it called <7121> Babel <0894>;

because <3588> the LORD <3068> did there <8033> confound <1101>

the language <8193> of all <3605> the earth <0776>: and from

thence <8033> did the LORD <3068> scatter <6327> them abroad

<6527> upon the face <6440> of all <3605> the earth <0776>.

10. These <0428> [are] the generations <8435> of Shem <8035>:

Shem <8035> [was] an hundred <3967> years <8141> old <1121>, and

begat <3205> Arphaxad <0775> two <8147> years <8141> after

<0310> the flood <3999>:

11 And Shem <8035> lived <2421> after <0310> he begat <3205>

Arphaxad <0775> five <2568> hundred <3967> years <8141>, and

begat <3205> sons <1121> and daughters <1363>.

12 And Arphaxad <0775> lived <2425> five <2568> and thirty

<7970> years <8141>, and begat <3205> Salah <7974>:

13 And Arphaxad <0775> lived <2421> after <0310> he begat

<3205> Salah <7974> four <0702> hundred <3967> and three <7969>

years <8141>, and begat <3205> sons <1121> and daughters <1363>.

14 And Salah <7974> lived <2425> thirty <7970> years <8141>,

and begat <3205> Eber <5677>:

15 And Salah <7974> lived <2421> after <0310> he begat <3205>

Eber <5677> four <0702> hundred <3967> and three <7969> years

<8141>, and begat <3205> sons <1121> and daughters <1363>.

16 And Eber <5677> lived <2421> four <0702> and thirty <7970>

years <8141>, and begat <3205> Peleg <6389>:

17 And Eber <5677> lived <2421> after <0310> he begat <3205>

Peleg <6389> four <0702> hundred <3967> and thirty <7970> years

<8141>, and begat <3205> sons <1121> and daughters <1363>.

18 And Peleg <6389> lived <2421> thirty <7970> years <8141>,

and begat <3205> Reu <7466>:

19 And Peleg <6389> lived <2421> after <0310> he begat <3205>

Reu <7466> two <8147> hundred <3967> and nine <8672> years

<8141>, and begat <3205> sons <1121> and daughters <1363>.

20 And Reu <7466> lived <2421> two <8147> and thirty <7970>

years <8141>, and begat <3205> Serug <8286>:

21 And Reu <7466> lived <2421> after <0310> he begat <3205>

Serug <8286> two <8147> hundred <3967> and seven <7651> years

<8141>, and begat <3205> sons <1121> and daughters <1363>.

22 And Serug <8286> lived <2421> thirty <7970> years <8141>,

and begat <3205> Nahor <5152>:

23 And Serug <8286> lived <2421> after <0310> he begat <3205>

Nahor <5152> two <8147> hundred <3967> years <8141>, and begat

<3205> sons <1121> and daughters <1363>.

24 And Nahor <5152> lived <2421> nine <8672> and twenty <6242>

years <8141>, and begat <3205> Terah <8646>:

25 And Nahor <5152> lived <2421> after <0310> he begat <3205>

Terah <8646> an hundred <3967> and nineteen years <8141>, and

begat <3205> sons <1121> and daughters <1363>.

26 And Terah <8646> lived <2421> seventy <7657> years <8141>,

and begat <3205> Abram <87>, Nahor <5152>, and Haran <2309>.

27. Now these <0428> [are] the generations <8435> of Terah

<8646>: Terah <8646> begat <3205> Abram <87>, Nahor <5152>, and

Haran <2309>; and Haran <2309> begat <3205> Lot <3876>.

28 And Haran <2309> died <4191> before his father <1> Terah

<8646> in the land <0776> of his nativity <4138>, in Ur <0218>

of the Chaldees <3778>.

29 And Abram <87> and Nahor <5152> took <3947> them wives

<0802>: the name <8034> of Abram's <87> wife <0802> [was] Sarai

<8297>; and the name <8034> of Nahor's <5152> wife <0802>,

Milcah <4435>, the daughter <1323> of Haran <2309>, the father

<1> of Milcah <4435>, and the father <1> of Iscah <3252>.

30 But Sarai <8297> was barren <6135>; she [had] no <0369>

child <2056>.

31 And Terah <8646> took <3947> Abram <87> his son <1121>, and

Lot <3876> the son of Haran <2309> his son's <1121> son, and

Sarai <8297> his daughter <3618> in law <3618>, his son Abram's

<87> wife <0802>; and they went <3318> forth <3318> with them

from Ur <0218> of the Chaldees <3778>, to go <3212> into <0413>

the land <0776> of Canaan <3667>; and they came <0935> unto

Haran <2771>, and dwelt <3427> there <8033>.

32 And the days <3117> of Terah <8646> were two <8147> hundred

<3967> and five <2568> years <8141>: and Terah <8646> died

<4191> in Haran <2771>.

Genesis 12

1. Now the LORD <3068> had said <0559> unto Abram <87>, Get

<3212> thee out of thy country <0776>, and from thy kindred

<4138>, and from thy father's <1> house <1004>, unto a land

<0776> that I will shew <7200> thee:

2 And I will make <6213> of thee a great <1419> nation <1471>,

and I will bless <1288> thee, and make thy name <8034> great

<1431>; and thou shalt be a blessing <1293>:

3 And I will bless <1288> them that bless <1288> thee, and

curse <0779> him that curseth <7043> thee: and in thee shall all

<3605> families <4940> of the earth <0127> be blessed <1288>.

4. So Abram <87> departed <3212>, as the LORD <3068> had spoken

<1696> unto him; and Lot <3876> went <3212> with him: and Abram

<87> [was] seventy <7657> and five <2568> years <8141> old

<1121> when he departed <3318> out of Haran <2771>.

5 And Abram <87> took <3947> Sarai <8297> his wife <0802>, and

Lot <3876> his brother's <0251> son <1121>, and all <3605> their

substance <7399> that they had gathered <7408>, and the souls

<5315> that they had gotten <6213> in Haran <2771>; and they

went <3318> forth <3318> to go <3212> into <0413> the land

<0776> of Canaan <3667>; and into <0413> the land <0776> of

Canaan <3667> they came <0935>.

6. And Abram <87> passed <5674> through the land <0776> unto

the place <4725> of Sichem <7927>, unto the plain <0436> of

Moreh <4176>. And the Canaanite <3669> [was] then <0227> in the

land <0776>.

7 And the LORD <3068> appeared <7200> unto Abram <87>, and said

<0559>, Unto thy seed <2233> will I give <5414> this <2063> land

<0776>: and there <8033> builded <1129> he an altar <4196> unto

the LORD <3068>, who <4310> appeared <7200> unto him.

8 And he removed <6275> from thence <8033> unto a mountain

<2022> on the east <6924> of Bethel <1008>, and pitched <5186>

his tent <0168>, [having] Bethel <1008> on the west <3220>, and

Hai <5857> on the east <6924>: and there <8033> he builded

<1129> an altar <4196> unto the LORD <3068>, and called <7121>

upon the name <8034> of the LORD <3068>.

9 And Abram <87> journeyed <5265>, going <1980> on still <5265>

toward the south <5045>.

10. And there was a famine <7458> in the land <0776>: and Abram

<87> went <3381> down <3381> into <0413> Egypt <4714> to sojourn

<1481> there <8033>; for the famine <7458> [was] grievous <3515>

in the land <0776>.

11 And it came <1961> to pass, when <0834> he was come <7126>

near <7126> to enter <0935> into <0935> Egypt <4714>, that he

said <0559> unto Sarai <8297> his wife <0802>, Behold <2009> now

<4994>, I know <3045> that thou [art] a fair <3303> woman <0802>

to look <4258> upon:

12 Therefore it shall come <0935> to pass, when <3588> the

Egyptians <4713> shall see <7200> thee, that they shall say

<0559>, This <2063> [is] his wife <0802>: and they will kill

<2026> me, but they will save <2421> thee alive <2421>.

13 Say <0559>, I pray <4994> thee, thou [art] my sister <0269>:

that it may be well <3190> with me for thy sake <5668>; and my

soul <5315> shall live <2421> because <1558> of thee.

14. And it came <1961> to pass, that, when Abram <87> was come

<0935> into Egypt <4714>, the Egyptians <4713> beheld <7200> the

woman <0802> that she [was] very <3966> fair <3303>.

15 The princes <8269> also of Pharaoh <6547> saw <7200> her,

and commended <1984> her before <0413> Pharaoh <6547>: and the

woman <0802> was taken <3947> into Pharaoh's <6547> house <1004>.

16 And he entreated Abram <87> well <3190> for her sake <5668>:

and he had <1961> sheep <6629>, and oxen <1241>, and he asses

<2543>, and menservants <5650>, and maidservants <8198>, and she

asses <0860>, and camels <1581>.

17 And the LORD <3068> plagued <5060> Pharaoh <6547> and his

house <1004> with great <1419> plagues <5061> because <1697> of

Sarai <8297> Abram's <87> wife <0802>.

18 And Pharaoh <6547> called <7121> Abram <87>, and said <0559>,

What <4100> [is] this <2063> [that] thou hast done <6213> unto

me? why <4100> didst thou not tell <5046> me that she [was] thy

wife <0802>?

19 Why <4100> saidst <0559> thou, She [is] my sister <0269>? so

I might have taken <3947> her to me to wife <0802>: now <6258>

therefore behold <2009> thy wife <0802>, take <3947> [her], and

go <3212> thy way.

20 And Pharaoh <6547> commanded <6680> [his] men <0582>

concerning him: and they sent <7971> him away, and his wife

<0802>, and all <3605> that he had.

Genesis 13

1. And Abram <87> went <5927> up out of Egypt <4714>, he, and

his wife <0802>, and all <3605> that he had, and Lot <3876> with

him, into the south <5045>.

2 And Abram <87> [was] very <3966> rich <3513> in cattle <4735>,

in silver <3701>, and in gold <2091>.

3 And he went <3212> on his journeys <4550> from the south

<5045> even to Bethel <1008>, unto the place <4725> where <0834>

his tent <0168> had been <1961> at the beginning <8462>, between

<0996> Bethel <1008> and Hai <5857>;

4 Unto the place <4725> of the altar <4196>, which <0834> he

had made there <8033> at the first <7223>: and there <8033>

Abram <87> called <7121> on the name <8034> of the LORD <3068>.

5. And Lot <3876> also <1571>, which went <1980> with Abram

<87>, had <1961> flocks <6629>, and herds <1241>, and tents

<0168>.

6 And the land <0776> was not able <5375> to bear <5375> them,

that they might dwell <3427> together <3162>: for their

substance <7399> was great <7227>, so that they could <3201> not

dwell <3427> together <3162>.

7 And there was a strife <7379> between <0996> the herdmen

<7462> of Abram's <87> cattle <4735> and the herdmen <7462> of

Lot's <3876> cattle <4735>: and the Canaanite <3669> and the

Perizzite <6522> dwelled <3427> then <0227> in the land <0776>.

8 And Abram <87> said <0559> unto Lot <3876>, Let there be no

<0408> strife <4808>, I pray <4994> thee, between <0996> me and

thee, and between <0996> my herdmen <7462> and thy herdmen

<7462>; for we [be] brethren <0251>.

9 [Is] not the whole <3605> land <0776> before <6440> thee?

separate <6504> thyself, I pray <4994> thee, from me: if <0518>

[thou wilt take <3947>] the left <8040> hand <8041>, then I will

go to the right <3231>; or if <0518> [thou depart] to the right

<3225> hand <3225>, then I will go to the left <8041>.

10. And Lot <3876> lifted <5375> up his eyes <5869>, and beheld

<7200> all <3605> the plain <3603> of Jordan <3383>, that it

[was] well watered <4945> every <3605> where, before <6440> the

LORD <3068> destroyed <7843> Sodom <5467> and Gomorrah <6017>,

[even] as the garden <1588> of the LORD <3068>, like the land

<0776> of Egypt <4714>, as thou comest <0935> unto Zoar <6820>.

11 Then Lot <3876> chose <0977> him all <3605> the plain <3603>

of Jordan <3383>; and Lot <3876> journeyed <5265> east <6924>:

and they separated <6504> themselves the one <0376> from the

other <0251>.

12 Abram <87> dwelled <3427> in the land <0776> of Canaan

<3667>, and Lot <3876> dwelled <3427> in the cities <5892> of

the plain <3603>, and pitched <0167> [his] tent <0167> toward

<5704> Sodom <5467>.

13 But the men <0582> of Sodom <5467> [were] wicked <7451> and

sinners <2400> before the LORD <3068> exceedingly <3966>.

14. And the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto Abram <87>, after

<0310> that Lot <3876> was separated <6504> from him, Lift

<5375> up now thine eyes <5869>, and look <7200> from the place

<4725> where <0834> thou art northward <6828>, and southward

<5045>, and eastward <6924>, and westward <3220>:

15 For all <3605> the land <0776> which <0834> thou seest

<7200>, to thee will I give <5414> it, and to thy seed <2233>

for ever <5769>.

16 And I will make <7760> thy seed <2233> as the dust <6083> of

the earth <0776>: so <0834> that if <0518> a man <0376> can

<3201> number <4487> the dust <6083> of the earth <0776>, [then]

shall thy seed <2233> also <1571> be numbered <4487>.

17 Arise <6965>, walk <1980> through the land <0776> in the

length <0753> of it and in the breadth <7341> of it; for I will

give <5414> it unto thee.

18 Then Abram <87> removed <0167> [his] tent <0167>, and came

<0935> and dwelt <3427> in the plain <0436> of Mamre <4471>,

which <0834> [is] in Hebron <2275>, and built <1129> there

<8033> an altar <4196> unto the LORD <3068>.

Genesis 14

1. And it came <1961> to pass in the days <3117> of Amraphel

<0569> king <4428> of Shinar <8152>, Arioch <0746> king <4428>

of Ellasar <0495>, Chedorlaomer <3540> king <4428> of Elam

<5867>, and Tidal <8413> king <4428> of nations <1471>;

2 [That these] made <6213> war <4421> with Bera <1298> king

<4428> of Sodom <5467>, and with Birsha <1306> king <4428> of

Gomorrah <6017>, Shinab <8134> king <4428> of Admah <0126>, and

Shemeber <8038> king <4428> of Zeboiim <6636>, and the king

<4428> of Bela <1106>, which <1931> is Zoar <6820>.

3 All <3605> these <0428> were joined <2266> together in the

vale <6010> of Siddim <7708>, which <1931> is the salt <4417>

sea <3220>.

4 Twelve years <8141> they served <5647> Chedorlaomer <3540>,

and in the thirteenth year <8141> they rebelled <4775>.

5 And in the fourteenth year <8141> came <0935> Chedorlaomer

<3540>, and the kings <4428> that [were] with him, and smote

<5221> the Rephaims <7497> in Ashteroth <6255> Karnaim, and the

Zuzims in Ham <1990>, and the Emims <0368> in Shaveh <7741>

Kiriathaim <7741>,

6 And the Horites <2752> in their mount <2042> Seir <8165>,

unto Elparan <0364>, which <0834> [is] by the wilderness <4057>.

7 And they returned <7725>, and came <0935> to Enmishpat, which

<0834> [is] Kadesh <6946>, and smote <5221> all <3605> the

country <7704> of the Amalekites <6003>, and also <1571> the

Amorites <0567>, that dwelt <3427> in Hazezontamar <2688>.

8 And there went <3318> out the king <4428> of Sodom <5467>,

and the king <4428> of Gomorrah <6017>, and the king <4428> of

Admah <0126>, and the king <4428> of Zeboiim <6636>, and the

king <4428> of Bela <1106> (the same <1931> [is] Zoar <6820>;)

and they joined <6186> battle <4421> with them in the vale

<6010> of Siddim <7708>;

9 With Chedorlaomer <3540> the king <4428> of Elam <5867>, and

with Tidal <8413> king <4428> of nations <1471>, and Amraphel

<0569> king <4428> of Shinar <8152>, and Arioch <0746> king

<4428> of Ellasar <0495>; four <0702> kings <4428> with five

<2568>.

10 And the vale <6010> of Siddim <7708> [was full of] slimepits

<2564>; and the kings <4428> of Sodom <5467> and Gomorrah <6017>

fled <5127>, and fell <5307> there <8033>; and they that

remained <7604> fled <5127> to the mountain <2022>.

11 And they took <3947> all <3605> the goods <7399> of Sodom

<5467> and Gomorrah <6017>, and all <3605> their victuals <0400>,

and went <3212> their way <3212>.

12 And they took <3947> Lot <3876>, Abram's <87> brother's

<0251> son <1121>, who <1931> dwelt <3427> in Sodom <5467>, and

his goods <7399>, and departed <3212>.

13. And there came <0935> one that had escaped <6412>, and told

<5046> Abram <87> the Hebrew <5680>; for he dwelt <7931> in the

plain <0436> of Mamre <4471> the Amorite <0567>, brother <0251>

of Eshcol <0812>, and brother <0251> of Aner <6063>: and these

<1992> [were] confederate with Abram <87>.

14 And when <3588> Abram <87> heard <8085> that his brother

<0251> was taken captive <7617>, he armed <7324> his trained

<2593> [servants], born <3211> in his own <0249> house <1004>,

three <7969> hundred <3967> and eighteen, and pursued <7291>

[them] unto Dan <1835>.

15 And he divided <2505> himself against <5921> them, he and

his servants <5650>, by night <3915>, and smote <5221> them, and

pursued <7291> them unto Hobah <2327>, which <0834> [is] on the

left <8040> hand <8040> of Damascus <1834>.

16 And he brought <7725> back <7725> all <3605> the goods

<7399>, and also <1571> brought <7725> again <7725> his brother

<0251> Lot <3876>, and his goods <7399>, and the women <0802>

also <1571>, and the people <5971>.

17. And the king <4428> of Sodom <5467> went <3318> out to meet

<7125> him after <0310> his return <7725> from the slaughter

<5221> of Chedorlaomer <3540>, and of the kings <4428> that

[were] with him, at <0413> the valley <6010> of Shaveh <7740>,

which <1931> [is] the king's <4428> dale <6010>.

18 And Melchizedek <4442> king <4428> of Salem <8004> brought

<3318> forth <3318> bread <3899> and wine <3196>: and he [was]

the priest <3548> of the most <5945> high <5945> God <0410>.

19 And he blessed <1288> him, and said <0559>, Blessed <1288>

[be] Abram <87> of the most <5945> high <5945> God <0410>,

possessor <7069> of heaven <8064> and earth <0776>:

20 And blessed <1288> be the most <5945> high <5945> God <0410>,

which <0834> hath delivered <4042> thine enemies <6862> into

thy hand <3027>. And he gave <5414> him tithes <4643> of all

<3605>.

21. And the king <4428> of Sodom <5467> said <0559> unto Abram

<87>, Give <5414> me the persons <5315>, and take <3947> the

goods <7399> to thyself.

22 And Abram <87> said <0559> to the king <4428> of Sodom

<5467>, I have lift <7311> up mine hand <3027> unto the LORD

<3068>, the most <5945> high <5945> God <0410>, the possessor

<7069> of heaven <8064> and earth <0776>,

23 That I will not [take <3947>] from a thread <2339> even

<5704> to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take <3947> any

<3605> thing that [is] thine, lest <3808> thou shouldest say

<0559>, I have made <6213> Abram <87> rich <6238>:

24 Save <1107> only that which <0834> the young <5288> men have

eaten <0398>, and the portion <2506> of the men <0582> which

<0834> went <1980> with me, Aner <6063>, Eshcol <0812>, and

Mamre <4471>; let them take <3947> their portion <2506>.

Genesis 15

1. After <0310> these <0428> things <1697> the word <1697> of

the LORD <3068> came <1961> unto Abram <87> in a vision <4236>,

saying <0559>, Fear <3372> not, Abram <87>: I [am] thy shield

<4043>, [and] thy exceeding <3966> great <7235> reward <7939>.

2. And Abram <87> said <0559>, Lord <0136> GOD <3069>, what

<4100> wilt thou give <5414> me, seeing I go <1980> childless

<6185>, and the steward of my house <1004> [is] this <1931>

Eliezer <0461> of Damascus <1834>?

3 And Abram <87> said <0559>, Behold <2005>, to me thou hast

given <5414> no <3808> seed <2233>: and, lo <2009>, one born

<1121> in my house <1004> is mine heir <3423>.

4 And, behold <2009>, the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> [came]

unto him, saying <0559>, This <2088> shall not be thine heir

<3423>; but he that shall come <3318> forth <3318> out of thine

own <0249> bowels <4578> shall be thine heir <3423>.

5 And he brought <3318> him forth <3318> abroad <2351>, and

said <0559>, Look <5027> now <4994> toward heaven <8064>, and

tell <5608> the stars <3556>, if <0518> thou be able <3201> to

number <5608> them: and he said <0559> unto him, So <3541> shall

thy seed <2233> be.

6 And he believed <0539> in the LORD <3068>; and he counted

<2803> it to him for righteousness <6666>.

7. And he said <0559> unto him, I [am] the LORD <3068> that

brought <3318> thee out of Ur <0218> of the Chaldees <3778>, to

give <5414> thee this <2063> land <0776> to inherit <3423> it.

8 And he said <0559>, Lord <0136> GOD <3069>, whereby <4100>

shall I know <3045> that I shall inherit <3423> it?

9 And he said <0559> unto him, Take <3947> me an heifer <5697>

of three <8027> years <8027> old <8027>, and a she goat <5795>

of three <8027> years <8027> old <8027>, and a ram <0352> of

three <8027> years <3027> old <8027>, and a turtledove <8449>,

and a young <1469> pigeon <1469>.

10 And he took <3947> unto him all <3605> these <0428>, and

divided <1334> them in the midst <8432>, and laid <5414> each

<0376> piece <1335> one against <7125> another <7453>: but the

birds <6833> divided <1334> he not.

11 And when the fowls <5861> came <3381> down <3381> upon the

carcases <6297>, Abram <87> drove <5380> them away.

12. And when <1961> the sun <8121> was going <0935> down <0935>,

a deep <8639> sleep <8639> fell <5307> upon Abram <87>; and, lo

<2009>, an horror <0367> of great <1419> darkness <2825> fell

<5307> upon him.

13 And he said <0559> unto Abram <87>, Know <3045> of a surety

<3045> that thy seed <2233> shall be a stranger <1616> in a land

<0776> [that is] not theirs <1992>, and shall serve <5647> them;

and they shall afflict <6031> them four <0702> hundred <3967>

years <8141>;

14 And also <1571> that nation <1471>, whom <0834> they shall

serve <5647>, will I judge <1777>: and afterward shall they come

<3318> out with great <1419> substance <7399>.

15 And thou shalt go <0935> to thy fathers <1> in peace <7965>;

thou shalt be buried <6912> in a good <2896> old <7872> age

<7872>.

16 But in the fourth <7243> generation <1755> they shall come

<7725> hither <2008> again <7725>: for the iniquity <5771> of

the Amorites <0567> [is] not yet full <8003>.

17. And it came <1961> to pass, that, when <1961> the sun

<8121> went <0935> down <0935>, and it was dark <5939>, behold

<2009> a smoking <6227> furnace <8574>, and a burning <0784>

lamp <3940> that passed <5674> between <0996> those <0428>

pieces <1506>.

18 In the same <1931> day <3117> the LORD <3068> made <3772> a

covenant <1285> with Abram <87>, saying <0559>, Unto thy seed

<2233> have I given <5414> this <2063> land <0776>, from the

river <5104> of Egypt <4714> unto the great <1419> river <5104>,

the river <5104> Euphrates <6578>:

19 The Kenites <7017>, and the Kenizzites <7074>, and the

Kadmonites <6935>,

20 And the Hittites <2850>, and the Perizzites <6522>, and the

Rephaims <7497>,

21 And the Amorites <0567>, and the Canaanites <3669>, and the

Girgashites <1622>, and the Jebusites <2983>.

Genesis 16

1. Now Sarai <8297> Abram's <87> wife <0802> bare <3205> him no

<3808> children: and she had an handmaid <8198>, an Egyptian

<4713>, whose name <8034> [was] Hagar <1904>.

2 And Sarai <8297> said <0559> unto Abram <87>, Behold <2009>

now <4994>, the LORD <3068> hath restrained <6113> me from

bearing <3205>: I pray <4994> thee, go <0935> in unto my maid

<8198>; it may <0194> be that I may obtain <1129> children

<1129> by her. And Abram <87> hearkened <8085> to the voice

<6963> of Sarai <8297>.

3 And Sarai <8297> Abram's <87> wife <0802> took <3947> Hagar

<1904> her maid <8198> the Egyptian <4713>, after <7093> Abram

<87> had dwelt <3427> ten <6235> years <8141> in the land <0776>

of Canaan <3667>, and gave <5414> her to her husband <0376>

Abram <87> to be his wife <0802>.

4. And he went <0935> in unto Hagar <1904>, and she conceived

<2030>: and when she saw <7200> that she had conceived <2030>,

her mistress <1404> was despised <7043> in her eyes <5869>.

5 And Sarai <8297> said <0559> unto Abram <87>, My wrong <2555>

[be] upon thee: I have given <5414> my maid <8198> into thy

bosom <2436>; and when she saw <7200> that she had conceived

<2030>, I was despised <7043> in her eyes <5869>: the LORD

<3068> judge <8199> between <0996> me and thee.

6 But Abram <87> said <0559> unto Sarai <8297>, Behold <2009>,

thy maid <8198> [is] in thy hand <3027>; do <6213> to her as it

pleaseth thee. And when Sarai <8297> dealt hardly <6031> with

her, she fled <1272> from her face <6440>.

7. And the angel <4397> of the LORD <3068> found <4672> her by

a fountain <5869> of water <4325> in the wilderness <4057>, by

the fountain <5869> in the way <1870> to Shur <7793>.

8 And he said <0559>, Hagar <1904>, Sarai's <8297> maid <8198>,

whence <0335> camest <0935> thou? and whither <0575> wilt thou

go <3212>? And she said <0559>, I flee <1272> from the face

<6440> of my mistress <1404> Sarai <8297>.

9 And the angel <4397> of the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto her,

Return <7725> to thy mistress <1404>, and submit <6031> thyself

under <8478> her hands <3027>.

10. And the angel <4397> of the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto

her, I will multiply <7235> thy seed <2233> exceedingly <7235>,

that it shall not be numbered <5608> for multitude <7230>.

11 And the angel <4397> of the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto her,

Behold <2009>, thou [art] with child <2030>, and shalt bear

<3205> a son <1121>, and shalt call <7121> his name <8034>

Ishmael <3458>; because <3588> the LORD <3068> hath heard <8085>

thy affliction <6040>.

12 And he will be a wild <6501> man <0120>; his hand <3027>

[will be] against every <3605> man, and every <3605> man's

<0376> hand <3027> against him; and he shall dwell <7931> in the

presence <6440> of all <3605> his brethren <0251>.

13 And she called <7121> the name <8034> of the LORD <3068>

that spake <1696> unto her, Thou God <0410> seest <7210> me: for

she said <0559>, Have I also <1571> here <1988> looked <7200>

after <0310> him that seeth <7210> me?

14 Wherefore the well <0875> was called <7121> Beerlahairoi

<0883>; behold <2009>, [it is] between <0996> Kadesh <6946> and

Bered <1260>.

15. And Hagar <1904> bare <3205> Abram <87> a son <1121>: and

Abram <87> called <7121> his son's <1121> name <8034>, which

<0834> Hagar <1904> bare <3205>, Ishmael <3458>.

16 And Abram <87> [was] fourscore <8084> and six <8337> years

<8141> old <1121>, when Hagar <1904> bare <3205> Ishmael <3458>

to Abram <87>.

Genesis 17

1. And when <1961> Abram <87> was ninety <8673> years <8141>

old <1121> and nine <8672>, the LORD <3068> appeared <7200> to

Abram <87>, and said <0559> unto him, I [am] the Almighty <7706>

God <0410>; walk <1980> before <6440> me, and be thou perfect

<8549>.

2 And I will make <5414> my covenant <1285> between <0996> me

and thee, and will multiply <7235> thee exceedingly <3966>.

3 And Abram <87> fell <5307> on <5921> his face <6440>: and God

<0430> talked <1696> with him, saying <0559>,

4. As for me, behold <2009>, my covenant <1285> [is] with thee,

and thou shalt be a father <1> of many <1995> nations <1471>.

5 Neither <3808> shall thy name <8034> any <5750> more <5750>

be called <7121> Abram <87>, but thy name <8034> shall be

Abraham <85>; for a father <1> of many <1995> nations <1471>

have I made <5414> thee.

6 And I will make thee exceeding <3966> fruitful <6509>, and I

will make <5414> nations <1471> of thee, and kings <4428> shall

come <3318> out of thee.

7. And I will establish <6965> my covenant <1285> between

<0996> me and thee and thy seed <2233> after <0310> thee in

their generations <1755> for an everlasting <5769> covenant

<1285>, to be a God <0430> unto thee, and to thy seed <2233>

after <0310> thee.

8 And I will give <5414> unto thee, and to thy seed <2233>

after <0310> thee, the land <0776> wherein thou art a stranger

<4033>, all <3605> the land <0776> of Canaan <3667>, for an

everlasting <5769> possession <0272>; and I will be their God

<0430>.

9 And God <0430> said <0559> unto Abraham <85>, Thou shalt keep

<8104> my covenant <1285> therefore, thou, and thy seed <2233>

after <0310> thee in their generations <1755>.

10 This <2063> [is] my covenant <1285>, which <0834> ye shall

keep <8104>, between <0996> me and you and thy seed <2233> after

<0310> thee; Every <3605> man <2145> child among you shall be

circumcised <4135>.

11 And ye shall circumcise <5243> the flesh <1320> of your

foreskin <6190>; and it shall be a token <0226> of the covenant

<1285> betwixt <0996> me and you.

12 And he that is eight <8083> days <3117> old <1121> shall be

circumcised <4135> among you, every <3605> man <2145> child in

your generations <1755>, he that is born <3211> in the house

<1004>, or bought <4736> with money <3701> of any <3605>

stranger, which <0834> [is] not of thy seed <2233>.

13 He that is born <3211> in thy house <1004>, and he that is

bought <4736> with thy money <3701>, must needs be circumcised

<4135>: and my covenant <1285> shall be in your flesh <1320> for

an everlasting <5769> covenant <1285>.

14 And the uncircumcised <6189> man <2145> child whose <0834>

flesh <1320> of his foreskin <6190> is not circumcised <4135>,

that soul <5315> shall be cut <3772> off from his people <5971>;

he hath broken <6565> my covenant <1285>.

15. And God <0430> said <0559> unto Abraham <85>, As for Sarai

<8297> thy wife <0802>, thou shalt not call <7121> her name

<8034> Sarai <8297>, but Sarah <8283> [shall] her name <8034>

[be].

16 And I will bless <1288> her, and give <5414> thee a son

<1121> also <1571> of her: yea, I will bless <1288> her, and she

shall be [a mother] of nations <1471>; kings <4428> of people

<5971> shall be of her.

17 Then Abraham <85> fell <5307> upon his face <6440>, and

laughed <6711>, and said <0559> in his heart <3820>, Shall [a

child] be born <3205> unto him that is an hundred <3967> years

<8141> old <1121>? and shall Sarah <8283>, that is ninety <8673>

years <8141> old <1323>, bear <3205>?

18 And Abraham <85> said <0559> unto God <0430>, O that Ishmael

<3458> might live <2421> before <6440> thee!

19 And God <0430> said <0559>, Sarah <8283> thy wife <0802>

shall bear <3205> thee a son <1121> indeed <61>; and thou shalt

call <7121> his name <8034> Isaac <3327>: and I will establish

<6965> my covenant <1285> with him for an everlasting <5769>

covenant <1285>, [and] with his seed <2233> after <0310> him.

20 And as for Ishmael <3458>, I have heard <8085> thee: Behold

<2009>, I have blessed <1288> him, and will make him fruitful

<6509>, and will multiply <7235> him exceedingly <3966>; twelve

princes <5387> shall he beget <3205>, and I will make <5414> him

a great <1419> nation <1471>.

21 But my covenant <1285> will I establish <6965> with Isaac

<3327>, which <0834> Sarah <8283> shall bear <3205> unto thee at

this <2088> set <4150> time in the next <0312> year <8141>.

22 And he left <3615> off talking <1696> with him, and God

<0430> went <5927> up from Abraham <85>.

23. And Abraham <85> took <3947> Ishmael <3458> his son <1121>,

and all <3605> that were born <3211> in his house <1004>, and

all <3605> that were bought <4736> with his money <3701>, every

<3605> male <2145> among the men <0582> of Abraham's <85> house

<1004>; and circumcised <4135> the flesh <1320> of their

foreskin <6190> in the selfsame day <3117>, as God <0430> had

said <1696> unto him.

24 And Abraham <85> [was] ninety <8673> years <8141> old <1121>

and nine <8672>, when he was circumcised <4135> in the flesh

<1320> of his foreskin <6190>.

25 And Ishmael <3458> his son <1121> [was] thirteen years

<8141> old <1121>, when he was circumcised <4135> in the flesh

<1320> of his foreskin <6190>.

26 In the selfsame day <3117> was Abraham <85> circumcised

<4135>, and Ishmael <3458> his son <1121>.

27 And all <3605> the men <0582> of his house <1004>, born

<3211> in the house <1004>, and bought <4736> with money <3701>

of the stranger, were circumcised <4135> with him.

Genesis 18

1. And the LORD <3068> appeared <7200> unto him in the plains

<0436> of Mamre <4471>: and he sat <3427> in the tent <0168>

door <6607> in the heat <2527> of the day <3117>;

2 And he lift <5375> up his eyes <5869> and looked <7200>, and,

lo <2009>, three <7969> men <0582> stood <5324> by him: and when

he saw <7200> [them], he ran <7323> to meet <7125> them from the

tent <0168> door <6607>, and bowed <7812> himself toward the

ground <0776>,

3 And said <0559>, My Lord <0136>, if <0518> now <4994> I have

found <4672> favour <2580> in thy sight <5869>, pass <5674> not

away, I pray <4994> thee, from thy servant <5650>:

4 Let a little <4592> water <4325>, I pray <4994> you, be

fetched <3947>, and wash <7364> your feet <7272>, and rest

<8172> yourselves under <8478> the tree <6086>:

5 And I will fetch <3947> a morsel <6595> of bread <3899>, and

comfort <5582> ye your hearts <3820>; after <0310> that ye shall

pass <5674> on: for therefore are ye come <5674> to your servant

<5650>. And they said <1696>, So <3651> do <6213>, as thou hast

said <0559>.

6 And Abraham <85> hastened <4116> into the tent <0168> unto

Sarah <8283>, and said <0559>, Make ready <4116> quickly <4116>

three <7969> measures <5429> of fine meal, knead <3888> [it],

and make <6213> cakes <5692> upon the hearth.

7 And Abraham <85> ran <7323> unto the herd <1241>, and fetcht

<3947> a calf tender <7390> and good <2896>, and gave <5414>

[it] unto a young <5288> man; and he hasted <4116> to dress

<6213> it.

8 And he took <3947> butter <2529>, and milk <2461>, and the

calf which <0834> he had dressed <6213>, and set <5414> [it]

before <6440> them; and he stood <5975> by them under <8478> the

tree <6086>, and they did eat <0398>.

9. And they said <0559> unto him, Where <0346> [is] Sarah

<8283> thy wife <0802>? And he said <0559>, Behold <2009>, in

the tent <0168>.

10 And he said <0559>, I will certainly return <7725> unto thee

according to the time <6256> of life <2416>; and, lo <2009>,

Sarah <8283> thy wife <0802> shall have a son <1121>. And Sarah

<8283> heard <8085> [it] in the tent <0168> door <6607>, which

<1931> [was] behind <0310> him.

11 Now Abraham <85> and Sarah <8283> [were] old <2205> [and]

well stricken <0935> in age <3117>; [and] it ceased <2308> to be

with Sarah <8283> after the manner <0734> of women <0802>.

12 Therefore Sarah <8283> laughed <6711> within <7130> herself,

saying <0559>, After <0310> I am waxed old <4086> shall I have

pleasure <5730>, my lord <0113> being old <2204> also?

13 And the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto Abraham <85>, Wherefore

<4100> did Sarah <8283> laugh <6711>, saying <0559>, Shall I of

a surety <0552> bear <3205> a child, which <0589> am old <2204>?

14 Is any thing <1697> too hard <6381> for the LORD <3068>? At

the time appointed <4150> I will return <7725> unto thee,

according to the time <6256> of life <2416>, and Sarah <8283>

shall have a son <1121>.

15 Then Sarah <8283> denied <3584>, saying <0559>, I laughed

<6711> not; for she was afraid <3372>. And he said <0559>, Nay

<3808>; but thou didst laugh <6711>.

16. And the men <0582> rose <6965> up from thence <8033>, and

looked <8259> toward Sodom <5467>: and Abraham <85> went <1980>

with them to bring <7971> them on the way <7971>.

17 And the LORD <3068> said <0559>, Shall I hide <3680> from

Abraham <85> that thing which <0834> I do <6213>;

18 Seeing that Abraham <85> shall surely become <1961> a great

<1419> and mighty <6099> nation <1471>, and all <3605> the

nations <1471> of the earth <0776> shall be blessed <1288> in

him?

19 For I know <3045> him, that he will command <6680> his

children <1121> and his household <1004> after <0310> him, and

they shall keep <8104> the way <1870> of the LORD <3068>, to do

<6213> justice <6666> and judgment <4941>; that the LORD <3068>

may bring <0935> upon Abraham <85> that which <0834> he hath

spoken <1696> of him.

20 And the LORD <3068> said <0559>, Because <3588> the cry

<2201> of Sodom <5467> and Gomorrah <6017> is great <7227>, and

because <3588> their sin <2403> is very <3966> grievous <3515>;

21 I will go <3381> down <3381> now <4994>, and see <7200>

whether they have done <6213> altogether <3617> according to the

cry <6818> of it, which is come <0935> unto me; and if <0518>

not, I will know <3045>.

22 And the men <0582> turned <6437> their faces from thence

<8033>, and went <3212> toward Sodom <5467>: but Abraham <85>

stood <5975> yet <5750> before <6440> the LORD <3068>.

23. And Abraham <85> drew near <5066>, and said <0559>, Wilt

thou also <0637> destroy <5595> the righteous <6662> with the

wicked <7563>?

24 Peradventure <0194> there be fifty <2572> righteous <6662>

within <8432> the city <5892>: wilt thou also <0637> destroy

<5595> and not spare <5375> the place <4725> for the fifty

<2572> righteous <6662> that [are] therein <7130>?

25 That be far <2486> from thee to do <6213> after this <2088>

manner <1697>, to slay <4191> the righteous <6662> with the

wicked <7563>: and that the righteous <6662> should be as the

wicked <7563>, that be far <2486> from thee: Shall not the Judge

<8199> of all <3605> the earth <0776> do <6213> right <4941>?

26 And the LORD <3068> said <0559>, If <0518> I find <4672> in

Sodom <5467> fifty <2572> righteous <6662> within <8432> the

city <5892>, then I will spare <5375> all <3605> the place

<4725> for their sakes <5668>.

27 And Abraham <85> answered <6030> and said <0559>, Behold

<2009> now <4994>, I have taken <2974> upon me to speak <1696>

unto the Lord <0136>, which <0595> [am but] dust <6083> and

ashes <0665>:

28 Peradventure <0194> there shall lack <2637> five <2568> of

the fifty <2572> righteous <6662>: wilt thou destroy <7843> all

<3605> the city <5892> for [lack of] five <2568>? And he said

<0559>, If <0518> I find <4672> there <8033> forty <0705> and

five <2568>, I will not destroy <7843> [it].

29 And he spake <1696> unto him yet <5750> again <3254>, and

said <0559>, Peradventure <0194> there shall be forty <0705>

found <4672> there. And he said <0559>, I will not do <6213>

[it] for forty's <0705> sake <5668>.

30 And he said <0559> [unto him], Oh <4994> let not the Lord

<0136> be angry <2734>, and I will speak <1696>: Peradventure

<0194> there <8033> shall thirty <7970> be found <4672> there

<8033>. And he said <0559>, I will not do <6213> [it], if <0518>

I find <4672> thirty <7970> there <8033>.

31 And he said <0559>, Behold <2009> now <4994>, I have taken

<2974> upon me to speak <1696> unto the Lord <0136>:

Peradventure <0194> there <8033> shall be twenty <6242> found

<4672> there <8033>. And he said <0559>, I will not destroy

<7843> [it] for twenty's <6242> sake <5668>.

32 And he said <0559>, Oh <4994> let not the Lord <0136> be

angry <2734>, and I will speak <1696> yet <0389> but this <6471>

once <6471>: Peradventure <0194> ten <6235> shall be found

<4672> there <8033>. And he said <0559>, I will not destroy

<7843> [it] for ten's <6235> sake <5668>.

33 And the LORD <3068> went <3212> his way <3212>, as soon

<0834> as he had left <3615> communing <1696> with Abraham <85>:

and Abraham <85> returned <7725> unto his place <4725>.

Genesis 19

1. And there came <0935> two <8147> angels <4397> to Sodom

<5467> at even <6153>; and Lot <3876> sat <3427> in the gate

<8179> of Sodom <5467>: and Lot <3876> seeing <7200> [them] rose

<6965> up to meet <7125> them; and he bowed <7812> himself with

his face <0639> toward the ground <0776>;

2 And he said <0559>, Behold <2009> now <4994>, my lords <0113>,

turn <5493> in, I pray <4994> you, into <0413> your servant's

<5650> house <1004>, and tarry <3885> all <3885> night, and wash

<7364> your feet <7272>, and ye shall rise <7925> up early

<7925>, and go <1980> on your ways <1870>. And they said <0559>,

Nay; but we will abide <3885> in the street <7339> all <3885>

night.

3 And he pressed <6484> upon them greatly <3966>; and they

turned <5493> in unto him, and entered <0935> into <0413> his

house <1004>; and he made <6213> them a feast <4960>, and did

bake <0644> unleavened <4682> bread, and they did eat <0398>.

4. But before <2962> they lay <7901> down, the men <0582> of

the city <5892>, [even] the men <0582> of Sodom <5467>,

compassed <5437> the house <1004> round <5921>, both old <2205>

and young <5288>, all <3605> the people <5971> from every

quarter <7098>:

5 And they called <7121> unto Lot <3876>, and said <0559> unto

him, Where <0346> [are] the men <0582> which <0834> came <0935>

in to thee this night <3915>? bring <3318> them out unto us,

that we may know <3045> them.

6 And Lot <3876> went <3318> out at the door <6607> unto them,

and shut <5462> the door <1817> after <0310> him,

7 And said <0559>, I pray <4994> you, brethren <0251>, do not

so wickedly <7489>.

8 Behold <2009> now <4994>, I have two <8147> daughters <1363>

which <0834> have not known <3045> man <0376>; let me, I pray

<4994> you, bring <3318> them out unto you, and do <6213> ye to

them as [is] good <2896> in your eyes <5869>: only unto these

<0428> men <0582> do <6213> nothing; for therefore came <0935>

they under the shadow <6738> of my roof <6982>.

9 And they said <0559>, Stand <5066> back <1973>. And they said

<0559> [again], This one <0259> [fellow <7453>] came <0935> in

to sojourn <1481>, and he will needs be a judge <8199>: now

<6288> will we deal worse <7489> with thee, than with them. And

they pressed <6484> sore <3966> upon the man <0376>, [even] Lot

<3876>, and came <5066> near <5066> to break <7665> the door

<1817>.

10 But the men <0582> put <7971> forth <7971> their hand <3027>,

and pulled <0935> Lot <3876> into the house <1004> to them, and

shut <5462> to the door <1817>.

11 And they smote <5221> the men <0582> that [were] at the door

<6607> of the house <1004> with blindness <5575>, both small

<6996> and great <1419>: so that they wearied <3811> themselves

to find <4672> the door <6607>.

12. And the men <0582> said <0559> unto Lot <3876>, Hast thou

here <6311> any <4310> besides <5750>? son <1121> in law <2859>,

and thy sons <1121>, and thy daughters <1363>, and whatsoever

thou hast in the city <5892>, bring <3318> [them] out of this

place <4725>:

13 For we will destroy <7843> this <2088> place <4725>, because

<3588> the cry <6818> of them is waxen great <1431> before

<0854> the face <6440> of the LORD <3068>; and the LORD <3068>

hath sent <7971> us to destroy <7843> it.

14 And Lot <3876> went <3318> out, and spake <1696> unto his

sons <2860> in law <2859>, which married <3947> his daughters

<1363>, and said <0559>, Up, get <3318> you out of this <2088>

place <4725>; for the LORD <3068> will destroy <7843> this city

<5892>. But he seemed as one that mocked <6711> unto his sons

<2860> in law <2859>.

15. And when <3644> the morning <7837> arose <5927>, then the

angels <4397> hastened <0213> Lot <3876>, saying <0559>, Arise

<6965>, take <3947> thy wife <0802>, and thy two <8147>

daughters <1363>, which are here <4672>; lest <6435> thou be

consumed <5595> in the iniquity <5771> of the city <5892>.

16 And while he lingered <4102>, the men <0582> laid hold

<2388> upon his hand <3027>, and upon the hand <3027> of his

wife <0802>, and upon the hand <3027> of his two <8147>

daughters <1363>; the LORD <3068> being merciful <2551> unto him:

and they brought <3318> him forth <3318>, and set <3240> him

without <2351> the city <5892>.

17 And it came <1961> to pass, when they had brought <3318>

them forth <3318> abroad <2351>, that he said <0559>, Escape

<4422> for thy life <5315>; look <5027> not behind <0310> thee,

neither <0408> stay <5975> thou in all <3605> the plain <3603>;

escape <4422> to the mountain <2022>, lest <6435> thou be

consumed <5595>.

18 And Lot <3876> said <0559> unto them, Oh <4994>, not so, my

Lord <0113>:

19 Behold <2009> now <4994>, thy servant <5650> hath found

<4672> grace <2580> in thy sight <5869>, and thou hast magnified

<1431> thy mercy <2617>, which <0834> thou hast shewed <6213>

unto me in saving <2421> my life <5315>; and I cannot escape

<4422> to the mountain <2022>, lest <6435> some evil <7451> take

<1692> me, and I die <4191>:

20 Behold <2009> now <4994>, this <2063> city <5892> [is] near

<7138> to flee <5127> unto, and it [is] a little <4705> one: Oh

<4994>, let me escape <4422> thither, ([is] it not a little

<4705> one?) and my soul <5315> shall live <2421>.

21 And he said <0559> unto him, See <2009>, I have accepted

<5375> thee concerning this <2088> thing <1697> also <1571>,

that I will not overthrow <2015> this city <5892>, for the which

<0834> thou hast spoken <1696>.

22 Haste <4116> thee, escape <4422> thither; for I cannot do

<6213> any thing till <5704> thou be come <0935> thither.

Therefore the name <8034> of the city <5892> was called <7121>

Zoar <6820>.

23 The sun <8121> was risen <3318> upon the earth <0776> when

Lot <3876> entered <0935> into Zoar <6820>.

24. Then the LORD <3068> rained <4305> upon Sodom <5467> and

upon Gomorrah <6017> brimstone <1614> and fire <0784> from the

LORD <3068> out of heaven <8064>;

25 And he overthrew <2015> those <0411> cities <5892>, and all

<3605> the plain <3603>, and all <3605> the inhabitants <3427>

of the cities <5892>, and that which grew <6780> upon the ground

<0127>.

26. But his wife <0802> looked <5027> back from behind <0310>

him, and she became <1961> a pillar <5333> of salt <4417>.

27. And Abraham <85> gat up early <7925> in the morning <1242>

to the place <4725> where <0834> he stood <5975> before the LORD

<3068>:

28 And he looked <8259> toward Sodom <5467> and Gomorrah <6017>,

and toward all <3605> the land <0776> of the plain <3603>, and

beheld <7200>, and, lo <2009>, the smoke <7008> of the country

<0776> went <5927> up as the smoke <7008> of a furnace <3536>.

29 And it came <1961> to pass, when God <0430> destroyed <7843>

the cities <5892> of the plain <3603>, that God <0430>

remembered <2142> Abraham <85>, and sent <7971> Lot <3876> out

of the midst <8432> of the overthrow <2018>, when he overthrew

<2015> the cities <5892> in the which <0834> Lot <3876> dwelt

<3427>.

30. And Lot <3876> went <5927> up out of Zoar <6820>, and dwelt

<3427> in the mountain <2022>, and his two <8147> daughters

<1363> with him; for he feared <3372> to dwell <3418> in Zoar

<6820>: and he dwelt <3427> in a cave <4631>, he and his two

<8147> daughters <1363>.

31 And the firstborn <1067> said <0559> unto the younger <6810>,

Our father <1> [is] old <2204>, and [there is] not a man <0376>

in the earth <0776> to come <0935> in unto us after the manner

<1870> of all <3605> the earth <0776>:

32 Come <3212>, let us make our father <1> drink <8248> wine

<3196>, and we will lie <7901> with him, that we may preserve

<2421> seed <2233> of our father <1>.

33 And they made their father <1> drink <8248> wine <3196> that

night <3915>: and the firstborn <1067> went <0935> in, and lay

<7901> with her father <1>; and he perceived <3045> not when she

lay <7901> down, nor when she arose <6965>.

34 And it came <1961> to pass on the morrow <4283>, that the

firstborn <1067> said <0559> unto the younger <6810>, Behold

<2005>, I lay <7901> yesternight <0570> with my father <1>: let

us make him drink <8248> wine <3196> this night <3915> also

<1571>; and go <0935> thou in, [and] lie <7901> with him, that

we may preserve <2421> seed <2233> of our father <1>.

35 And they made their father <1> drink <8248> wine <3196> that

night <3915> also <1571>: and the younger <6810> arose <6965>,

and lay <7901> with him; and he perceived <3045> not when she

lay <7901> down, nor when she arose <6965>.

36 Thus were both <8147> the daughters <1363> of Lot <3876>

with child <2029> by their father <1>.

37 And the firstborn <1067> bare <3205> a son <1121>, and

called <7121> his name <8034> Moab <4124>: the same <1931> [is]

the father <1> of the Moabites <4124> unto this day <3117>.

38 And the younger <6810>, she also <1571> bare <3205> a son

<1121>, and called <7121> his name <8034> Benammi <1151>: the

same <1931> [is] the father <1> of the children <1121> of Ammon

<5983> unto this day <3117>.

Genesis 20

1. And Abraham <85> journeyed <5265> from thence <8033> toward

the south <5045> country <0776>, and dwelled <3427> between

<0996> Kadesh <6946> and Shur <7793>, and sojourned <1481> in

Gerar <1642>.

2 And Abraham <85> said <0559> of Sarah <8283> his wife <0802>,

She [is] my sister <0269>: and Abimelech <40> king <4428> of

Gerar <1642> sent <7971>, and took <3947> Sarah <8283>.

3. But God <0430> came <0935> to Abimelech <40> in a dream

<2472> by night <3915>, and said <0559> to him, Behold <2009>,

thou [art but] a dead <4191> man <0376>, for the woman <0802>

which <0834> thou hast taken <3947>; for she [is] a man's <1167>

wife <1166>.

4 But Abimelech <40> had not come <7126> near <7126> her: and

he said <0559>, Lord <0136>, wilt thou slay <2026> also <1571> a

righteous <6662> nation <1471>?

5 Said <0559> he not unto me, She [is] my sister <0269>? and

she, even <1571> she herself said <0559>, He [is] my brother

<0251>: in the integrity <8537> of my heart <3824> and innocency

<5356> of my hands <3709> have I done <6213> this <2063>.

6 And God <0430> said <0559> unto him in a dream <2472>, Yea

<1571>, I know <3045> that thou didst <6213> this <2063> in the

integrity <8537> of thy heart <3824>; for I also withheld <2820>

thee from sinning <2398> against me: therefore suffered <5414> I

thee not to touch <5060> her.

7 Now <6258> therefore restore <7725> the man <0376> [his] wife

<0802>; for he [is] a prophet <5030>, and he shall pray <6419>

for thee, and thou shalt live <2421>: and if <0518> thou restore

<7725> [her] not, know <3045> thou that thou shalt surely <3588>

die <4191>, thou, and all <3605> that [are] thine.

8. Therefore Abimelech <40> rose <7925> early <7925> in the

morning <1242>, and called <7121> all <3605> his servants <5650>,

and told <1696> all <3605> these <0428> things <1697> in their

ears <0241>: and the men <0582> were sore <3966> afraid <3372>.

9 Then Abimelech <40> called <7121> Abraham <85>, and said

<0559> unto him, What <4100> hast thou done <6213> unto us? and

what <4100> have I offended <2398> thee, that thou hast brought

<0935> on <5921> me and on <5921> my kingdom <4467> a great

<1419> sin <2401>? thou hast done <6213> deeds <4639> unto me

that ought <3972> not to be done <6213>.

10 And Abimelech <40> said <0559> unto Abraham <85>, What

<4100> sawest <7200> thou, that thou hast done <6213> this

<2088> thing <1697>?

11 And Abraham <85> said <0559>, Because <3588> I thought

<0559>, Surely <7535> the fear <3374> of God <0430> [is] not in

this <2088> place <4725>; and they will slay <2026> me for my

wife's <0802> sake <1697>.

12 And yet <1571> indeed <0546> [she is] my sister <0269>; she

[is] the daughter <1323> of my father <1>, but not the daughter

<1323> of my mother <0517>; and she became <1961> my wife <0802>.

13 And it came <1961> to pass, when <0834> God <0430> caused me

to wander <8582> from my father's <1> house <1004>, that I said

<0559> unto her, This <2088> [is] thy kindness <2617> which

<0834> thou shalt shew <6213> unto me; at <0413> every <3605>

place <4725> whither we shall come <0935>, say <0559> of me, He

[is] my brother <0251>.

14. And Abimelech <40> took <3947> sheep <6629>, and oxen

<1241>, and menservants <5650>, and womenservants <8198>, and

gave <5414> [them] unto Abraham <85>, and restored <7725> him

Sarah <8283> his wife <0802>.

15 And Abimelech <40> said <0559>, Behold <2009>, my land

<0776> [is] before <6440> thee: dwell <3418> where it pleaseth

thee.

16 And unto Sarah <8283> he said <0559>, Behold <2009>, I have

given <5414> thy brother <0251> a thousand <0505> [pieces] of

silver <3701>: behold <2009>, he [is] to thee a covering <3682>

of the eyes <5869>, unto all <3605> that [are] with thee, and

with all <3605> [other]: thus she was reproved <3198>.

17 So Abraham <85> prayed <6419> unto God <0430>: and God

<0430> healed <7495> Abimelech <40>, and his wife <0802>, and

his maidservants <0519>; and they bare <3205> [children].

18 For the LORD <3068> had fast closed <6113> up all <3605> the

wombs <7358> of the house <1004> of Abimelech <40>, because of

Sarah <8283> Abraham's <85> wife <0802>.

Genesis 21

1. And the LORD <3068> visited <6485> Sarah <8283> as he had

said <0559>, and the LORD <3068> did <6213> unto Sarah <8283> as

he had spoken <1696>.

2 For Sarah <8283> conceived <2030>, and bare <3205> Abraham

<85> a son <1121> in his old <2208> age, at the set <4150> time

of which <0834> God <0430> had spoken <1696> to him.

3 And Abraham <85> called <7121> the name <8034> of his son

<1121> that was born <3205> unto him, whom <0834> Sarah <8283>

bare <3205> to him, Isaac <3327>.

4 And Abraham <85> circumcised <4135> his son <1121> Isaac

<3327> being eight <8083> days <3117> old <1121>, as God <0430>

had commanded <6680> him.

5 And Abraham <85> was an hundred <3967> years <8141> old

<1121>, when his son <1121> Isaac <3327> was born <3205> unto

him.

6 And Sarah <8283> said <0559>, God <0430> hath made me to

laugh <6712>, [so that] all <3605> that hear <8085> will laugh

<6711> with me.

7 And she said <0559>, Who <4310> would have said <4448> unto

Abraham <85>, that Sarah <8283> should have given children

<1121> suck <3243>? for I have born <3205> [him] a son <1121> in

his old <2208> age.

8 And the child <3206> grew <1431>, and was weaned <1580>: and

Abraham <85> made <6213> a great <1419> feast <4960> the [same]

day <3117> that Isaac <3327> was weaned <1580>.

9. And Sarah <8283> saw <7200> the son <1121> of Hagar <1904>

the Egyptian <4713>, which <0834> she had born <3205> unto

Abraham <85>, mocking <6711>.

10 Wherefore she said <0559> unto Abraham <85>, Cast <1644> out

this <2063> bondwoman <0519> and her son <1121>: for the son

<1121> of this <2063> bondwoman <0519> shall not be heir <3423>

with my son, [even] with Isaac <3327>.

11 And the thing <1697> was very <3966> grievous <7489> in

Abraham's <85> sight <5869> because of his son <1121>.

12 And God <0430> said <0559> unto Abraham <85>, Let it not be

grievous <7489> in thy sight <5869> because <5921> of the lad

<5288>, and because <5921> of thy bondwoman <0519>; in all

<3605> that Sarah <8283> hath said <0559> unto thee, hearken

<8085> unto her voice <6963>; for in Isaac <3327> shall thy seed

<2233> be called <7121>.

13 And also of the son <1121> of the bondwoman <0519> will I

make <7760> a nation <1471>, because <3588> he [is] thy seed

<2233>.

14. And Abraham <85> rose <7925> up early <7925> in the morning

<1242>, and took <3947> bread <3899>, and a bottle <2573> of

water <4325>, and gave <5414> [it] unto Hagar <1904>, putting

<7760> [it] on <5921> her shoulder <7926>, and the child <3206>,

and sent <7971> her away: and she departed <3212>, and wandered

<8582> in the wilderness <4057> of Beersheba <0884>.

15 And the water <4325> was spent <3615> in the bottle <2573>,

and she cast <7993> the child <3206> under <8478> one <0259> of

the shrubs <7880>.

16 And she went <3212>, and sat <3427> her down over <5048>

against <5048> [him] a good <7368> way off, as it were a bowshot:

for <7198> she said <0559>, Let me not see <7200> the death

<4194> of the child <3206>. And she sat <3427> over <5048>

against <5048> [him], and lift <5375> up her voice <6963>, and

wept <1058>.

17 And God <0430> heard <8085> the voice <6963> of the lad

<5288>; and the angel <4397> of God <0430> called <7121> to

Hagar <1904> out of heaven <8064>, and said <0559> unto her,

What <4100> aileth thee, Hagar <1904>? fear <3372> not; for God

<0430> hath heard <8085> the voice <6963> of the lad <5288>

where <0834> he [is].

18 Arise <6965>, lift <5375> up the lad <5288>, and hold <2388>

him in thine hand <3027>; for I will make <7760> him a great

<1419> nation <1471>.

19 And God <0430> opened <6491> her eyes <5869>, and she saw

<7200> a well <0875> of water <4325>; and she went <3212>, and

filled <4390> the bottle <2573> with water <4325>, and gave the

lad <5288> drink <8248>.

20 And God <0430> was with the lad <5288>; and he grew <1431>,

and dwelt <3427> in the wilderness <4057>, and became <1961> an

archer <7198>.

21 And he dwelt <3427> in the wilderness <4057> of Paran <6290>:

and his mother <0517> took <3947> him a wife <0802> out of the

land <0776> of Egypt <4714>.

22. And it came <1961> to pass at that time <6256>, that

Abimelech <40> and Phichol <6369> the chief captain <8269> of

his host <6635> spake <0559> unto Abraham <85>, saying <0559>,

God <0430> [is] with thee in all <3605> that thou doest <6213>:

23 Now <6258> therefore swear <7650> unto me here <2008> by God

<0430> that thou wilt not deal falsely <8266> with me, nor with

my son <5220>, nor with my son's <5220> son <5220>: [but]

according to the kindness <2617> that I have done <6213> unto

thee, thou shalt do <6213> unto me, and to the land <0776>

wherein <0834> thou hast sojourned <1481>.

24 And Abraham <85> said <0559>, I will swear <7650>.

25 And Abraham <85> reproved <3198> Abimelech <40> because of a

well <0875> of water <4325>, which <0834> Abimelech's <40>

servants <5650> had violently <1497> taken <1497> away.

26 And Abimelech <40> said <0559>, I wot <3045> not who <4310>

hath done <6213> this <2088> thing <1697>: neither <3808> didst

thou tell <5046> me, neither <3808> yet <1571> heard <8085> I

[of it], but to day <3117>.

27 And Abraham <85> took <3947> sheep <6629> and oxen <1241>,

and gave <5414> them unto Abimelech <40>; and both <8147> of

them made <3772> a covenant <1285>.

28 And Abraham <85> set <5324> seven <7651> ewe <3535> lambs

<3535> of the flock <6629> by themselves.

29 And Abimelech <40> said <0559> unto Abraham <85>, What

<4100> [mean] these seven <7651> ewe <3535> lambs <3535> which

<0834> thou hast set <5324> by themselves?

30 And he said <0559>, For [these] seven <7651> ewe <3535>

lambs <3535> shalt thou take <3947> of my hand <3027>, that they

may be a witness <5713> unto me, that I have digged <2658> this

well <0875>.

31 Wherefore <4100> he called <7121> that place <4725>

Beersheba <0884>; because <3588> there <8033> they sware <7650>

both <8147> of them.

32 Thus <3541> they made <3772> a covenant <1285> at Beersheba

<0884>: then Abimelech <40> rose <6965> up, and Phichol <6369>

the chief captain <8269> of his host <6635>, and they returned

<7725> into <0413> the land <0776> of the Philistines <6430>.

33. And [Abraham] planted <5193> a grove <0815> in Beersheba

<0884>, and called <7121> there <8033> on the name <8034> of the

LORD <3068>, the everlasting <5769> God <0410>.

34 And Abraham <85> sojourned <1481> in the Philistines <6430>'

land <0776> many <7227> days <3117>.

Genesis 22

1. And it came <1961> to pass after <0310> these things <1697>,

that God <0430> did tempt <5254> Abraham <85>, and said <0559>

unto him, Abraham <85>: and he said <0559>, Behold <2009>,

[here] I [am].

2 And he said <0559>, Take <3947> now <4994> thy son <1121>,

thine only <3173> [son] Isaac <3327>, whom <0834> thou lovest

<0157>, and get <3212> thee into <0413> the land <0776> of

Moriah <4179>; and offer <5927> him there <8033> for a burnt

<5930> offering upon one <0259> of the mountains <2022> which

<0834> I will tell <0559> thee of.

3. And Abraham <85> rose <7925> up early <7925> in the morning

<1242>, and saddled <2280> his ass <2543>, and took <3947> two

<8147> of his young <5288> men with him, and Isaac <3327> his

son <1121>, and clave <1234> the wood <6086> for the burnt

<5930> offering, and rose <6965> up, and went <3212> unto the

place <4725> of which <0834> God <0430> had told <0559> him.

4 Then on the third <7992> day <3117> Abraham <85> lifted

<5375> up his eyes <5869>, and saw <7200> the place <4725> afar

<7350> off.

5 And Abraham <85> said <0559> unto his young <5288> men, Abide

<3427> ye here <6311> with the ass <2543>; and I and the lad

<5288> will go <3212> yonder <3541> and worship <7812>, and come

<7725> again <7725> to you.

6 And Abraham <85> took <3947> the wood <6086> of the burnt

<5930> offering, and laid <7760> [it] upon Isaac <3327> his son

<1121>; and he took <3947> the fire <0784> in his hand <3027>,

and a knife <3979>; and they went <3212> both <8147> of them

together <3162>.

7 And Isaac <3327> spake <0559> unto Abraham <85> his father

<1>, and said <0559>, My father <1>: and he said <0559>, Here

<2009> [am] I, my son <1121>. And he said <0559>, Behold <2009>

the fire <0784> and the wood <6086>: but where <0834> [is] the

lamb <7716> for a burnt <5930> offering?

8 And Abraham <85> said <0559>, My son <1121>, God <0430> will

provide <7200> himself a lamb <7716> for a burnt <5930> offering:

so they went <3212> both <8147> of them together <3162>.

9 And they came <0935> to the place <4725> which <0834> God

<0430> had told <0559> him of; and Abraham <85> built <1129> an

altar <4196> there <8033>, and laid the wood <6086> in order,

and bound <6123> Isaac <3327> his son <1121>, and laid <7760>

him on <5921> the altar <4196> upon the wood <6086>.

10 And Abraham <85> stretched <7971> forth his hand <3027>, and

took <3947> the knife <3979> to slay <7819> his son <1121>.

11. And the angel <4397> of the LORD <3068> called <7121> unto

him out of heaven <8064>, and said <0559>, Abraham <85>, Abraham

<85>: and he said <0559>, Here <2009> [am] I.

12 And he said <0559>, Lay <7971> not thine hand <3027> upon

the lad <5288>, neither <0408> do <6213> thou any <3972> thing

unto him: for now <6258> I know <3045> that thou fearest <3373>

God <0430>, seeing <7200> thou hast not withheld <2820> thy son

<1121>, thine only <3162> [son] from me.

13 And Abraham <85> lifted <5375> up his eyes <5869>, and

looked <7200>, and behold <2009> behind <0310> [him] a ram

<0352> caught <0270> in a thicket <5442> by his horns <7161>:

and Abraham <85> went <3212> and took <3947> the ram <0352>, and

offered <5927> him up for a burnt <5930> offering in the stead

<8478> of his son <1121>.

14 And Abraham <85> called <7121> the name <8034> of that place

<4725> Jehovahjireh <3070>: as it is said <0559> [to] this day

<3117>, In the mount <2022> of the LORD <3068> it shall be seen

<7200>.

15. And the angel <4397> of the LORD <3068> called <7121> unto

Abraham <85> out of heaven <8064> the second <8145> time <6256>,

16 And said <0559>, By myself have I sworn <7650>, saith <5002>

the LORD <3068>, for because thou hast done <6213> this thing

<1697>, and hast not withheld <2820> thy son <1121>, thine only

<3173> [son]:

17 That in blessing <1288> I will bless <1288> thee, and in

multiplying <7235> I will multiply <7235> thy seed <2233> as the

stars <3556> of the heaven <8064>, and as the sand <2344> which

<0834> [is] upon the sea <3220> shore <8193>; and thy seed

<2233> shall possess <3423> the gate <8179> of his enemies

<0341>;

18 And in thy seed <2233> shall all <3605> the nations <1471>

of the earth <0776> be blessed <1288>; because thou hast obeyed

<8085> my voice <6963>.

19 So Abraham <85> returned <7725> unto his young <5288> men,

and they rose <6965> up and went <3212> together <3162> to

Beersheba <0884>; and Abraham <85> dwelt <3427> at Beersheba

<0884>.

20. And it came <1961> to pass after <0310> these things <1697>,

that it was told <5046> Abraham <85>, saying <0559>, Behold

<2009>, Milcah <4435>, she hath also born <3205> children <1121>

unto thy brother <0251> Nahor <5152>;

21 Huz <5780> his firstborn <1060>, and Buz <0938> his brother

<0251>, and Kemuel <7055> the father <1> of Aram <0758>,

22 And Chesed <3777>, and Hazo <2375>, and Pildash <6394>, and

Jidlaph <3044>, and Bethuel <1328>.

23 And Bethuel <1328> begat <3205> Rebekah <7259>: these eight

<8083> Milcah <4435> did bear <3205> to Nahor <5152>, Abraham's

<85> brother <0251>.

24 And his concubine <6370>, whose name <8034> [was] Reumah

<7208>, she bare <3205> also Tebah <2875>, and Gaham <1514>, and

Thahash <8477>, and Maachah <4601>.

Genesis 23

1. And Sarah <8283> was an hundred <3967> and seven <7651> and

twenty <6242> years <8141> old <2416>: [these were] the years

<8141> of the life <2416> of Sarah <8283>.

2 And Sarah <8283> died <4191> in Kirjatharba <7153>; the same

<1931> [is] Hebron <2275> in the land <0776> of Canaan <3667>:

and Abraham <85> came <0935> to mourn <5594> for Sarah <8283>,

and to weep <1058> for her.

3. And Abraham <85> stood <6965> up from before his dead <4191>,

and spake <1696> unto the sons <1121> of Heth <2845>, saying

<0559>,

4 I [am] a stranger <1616> and a sojourner <8453> with you:

give <5414> me a possession <0272> of a buryingplace <6913> with

you, that I may bury <6912> my dead <4191> out of my sight

<6440>.

5 And the children <1121> of Heth <2845> answered <6030>

Abraham <85>, saying <0559> unto him,

6 Hear <8085> us, my lord <0113>: thou [art] a mighty <0430>

prince <5387> among <8432> us: in the choice <4005> of our

sepulchres <6913> bury <6912> thy dead <4191>; none of us shall

withhold <3607> from thee his sepulchre <6913>, but that thou

mayest bury <6912> thy dead <4191>.

7 And Abraham <85> stood <6965> up, and bowed <7812> himself to

the people <5971> of the land <0776>, [even] to the children

<1121> of Heth <2845>.

8 And he communed <1696> with them, saying <0559>, If it be

your mind <5315> that I should bury <6912> my dead <4191> out of

my sight <6440>; hear <8085> me, and intreat <6293> for me to

Ephron <6085> the son <1121> of Zohar <6714>,

9 That he may give <5414> me the cave <4631> of Machpelah

<4375>, which <0834> he hath, which <0834> [is] in the end

<7097> of his field <7704>; for as much <7227> money <3701> as

it is worth <4392> he shall give <5414> it me for a possession

<0272> of a buryingplace <6913> amongst <8432> you.

10 And Ephron <6085> dwelt <3427> among <8432> the children

<1121> of Heth <2845>: and Ephron <6085> the Hittite <2850>

answered <6030> Abraham <85> in the audience <0241> of the

children <1121> of Heth <2845>, [even] of all <3605> that went

<0935> in at the gate <8179> of his city <5892>, saying <0559>,

11 Nay <3808>, my lord <0113>, hear <8085> me: the field <7704>

give <5414> I thee, and the cave <4631> that [is] therein, I

give <5414> it thee; in the presence <5869> of the sons <1121>

of my people <5971> give <5414> I it thee: bury <6912> thy dead

<4191>.

12 And Abraham <85> bowed <7812> down <7812> himself before

<6440> the people <5971> of the land <0776>.

13 And he spake <1696> unto Ephron <6085> in the audience

<0241> of the people <5971> of the land <0776>, saying <0559>,

But if thou [wilt give it], I pray <3863> thee, hear <8085> me:

I will give <5414> thee money <3701> for the field <7704>; take

<3947> [it] of me, and I will bury <6912> my dead <4191> there

<8033>.

14 And Ephron <6085> answered <6030> Abraham <85>, saying

<0559> unto him,

15 My lord <0113>, hearken <8085> unto me: the land <0776> [is

worth] four <0702> hundred <3967> shekels <8255> of silver

<3701>; what <4100> [is] that betwixt <0996> me and thee? bury

<6912> therefore thy dead <4191>.

16. And Abraham <85> hearkened <8085> unto Ephron <6085>; and

Abraham weighed <8254> to Ephron <6085> the silver <3701>, which

<0834> he had named <1696> in the audience <0241> of the sons

<1121> of Heth <2845>, four <0702> hundred <3967> shekels <8255>

of silver <3701>, current <5674> [money <3701>] with the

merchant.

17 And the field <7704> of Ephron <6085>, which <0834> [was] in

Machpelah <4375>, which <0834> [was] before <6440> Mamre <4471>,

the field <7704>, and the cave <4631> which <0834> [was] therein,

and all <3605> the trees <6086> that [were] in the field <7704>,

that [were] in all <3605> the borders <1366> round <5439> about,

were made sure <6965>

18 Unto Abraham <85> for a possession <4736> in the presence

<5869> of the children <1121> of Heth <2845>, before <6440> all

<3605> that went <0935> in at the gate <8179> of his city <5892>.

19 And after <0310> this, Abraham <85> buried <6912> Sarah

<8283> his wife <0802> in the cave <4631> of the field <7704> of

Machpelah <4375> before Mamre <4471>: the same <1931> [is]

Hebron <2275> in the land <0776> of Canaan <3667>.

20 And the field <7704>, and the cave <4631> that [is] therein,

were made sure <6965> unto Abraham <85> for a possession <0272>

of a buryingplace <6913> by the sons <1121> of Heth <2845>.

Genesis 24

1. And Abraham <85> was old <2204>, [and] well stricken <0935>

in age <3117>: and the LORD <3068> had blessed <1288> Abraham

<85> in all <3605> things.

2 And Abraham <85> said <0559> unto his eldest <2205> servant

<5650> of his house <1004>, that ruled <4910> over all <3605>

that he had, Put <7760>, I pray <4994> thee, thy hand <3027>

under <8478> my thigh <3409>:

3 And I will make thee swear <7650> by the LORD <3068>, the God

<0430> of heaven <8064>, and the God <0430> of the earth <0776>,

that thou shalt not take <3947> a wife <0802> unto my son <1121>

of the daughters <1363> of the Canaanites <3669>, among <7130>

whom <0834> I dwell <3418>:

4 But thou shalt go <3212> unto my country <0776>, and to my

kindred <4138>, and take <3947> a wife <0802> unto my son <1121>

Isaac <3327>.

5 And the servant <5650> said <0559> unto him, Peradventure

<0194> the woman <0802> will not be willing <14> to follow me

unto this land <0776>: must I needs bring <7725> thy son <1121>

again <7725> unto the land <0776> from whence <0370> thou camest

<3318>?

6 And Abraham <85> said <0559> unto him, Beware <8104> thou

that thou bring <7725> not my son <1121> thither again <7725>.

7 The LORD <3068> God <0430> of heaven <8064>, which <0834>

took <3947> me from my father's <1> house <1004>, and from the

land <0776> of my kindred <4138>, and which <0834> spake <1696>

unto me, and that sware <7650> unto me, saying <0559>, Unto thy

seed <2233> will I give <5414> this land <0776>; he shall send

<7971> his angel <4397> before <6440> thee, and thou shalt take

<3947> a wife <0802> unto my son <1121> from thence <8033>.

8 And if the woman <0802> will not be willing <14> to follow

thee, then thou shalt be clear <5352> from this my oath <7621>:

only bring <7725> not my son <1121> thither <8033> again <7725>.

9 And the servant <5650> put <7760> his hand <3027> under

<8478> the thigh <3409> of Abraham <85> his master <0113>, and

sware <7650> to him concerning <5921> that matter <1697>.

10. And the servant <5650> took <3947> ten <6235> camels <1581>

of the camels <1581> of his master <0113>, and departed <3212>;

for all <3605> the goods <2898> of his master <0113> [were] in

his hand <3027>: and he arose <6965>, and went <3212> to

Mesopotamia <0763>, unto the city <5892> of Nahor <5152>.

11 And he made his camels <1581> to kneel <1288> down <1288>

without <2351> the city <5892> by a well <0875> of water <4325>

at the time <6256> of the evening <6153>, [even] the time <6256>

that women go <3318> out to draw <7579> [water].

12 And he said <0559>, O LORD <3068> God <0430> of my master

<0113> Abraham <85>, I pray <4994> thee, send <7136> me good

speed <7136> this day <3117>, and shew <6213> kindness <2617>

unto my master <0113> Abraham <85>.

13 Behold <2009>, I stand <5324> [here] by the well <5869> of

water <4325>; and the daughters <1363> of the men <0582> of the

city <5892> come <3318> out to draw <7579> water <4325>:

14 And let it come <0935> to pass, that the damsel <5291> to

whom <0834> I shall say <0559>, Let <5186> down <5186> thy

pitcher <3537>, I pray <4994> thee, that I may drink <8354>; and

she shall say <0559>, Drink <8354>, and I will give thy camels

<1581> drink <8248> also: [let the same <1931> be] she [that]

thou hast appointed <3198> for thy servant <5650> Isaac <3327>;

and thereby <2004> shall I know <3045> that thou hast shewed

<6213> kindness <2617> unto my master <0113>.

15 And it came <1961> to pass, before <6440> he had done <3615>

speaking <1696>, that, behold <2009>, Rebekah <7259> came <3318>

out, who <0834> was born <3205> to Bethuel <1328>, son <1121> of

Milcah <4435>, the wife <0802> of Nahor <5152>, Abraham's <85>

brother <0251>, with her pitcher <3537> upon her shoulder <7926>.

16 And the damsel <5291> [was] very <3966> fair <2896> to look

<4758> upon, a virgin <1330>, neither <3808> had any man <0376>

known <3045> her: and she went <3381> down <3381> to the well

<5869>, and filled <4390> her pitcher <3537>, and came <5927> up.

17 And the servant <5650> ran <7323> to meet <7125> her, and

said <0559>, Let me, I pray <4994> thee, drink <1572> a little

<4592> water <4325> of thy pitcher <3537>.

18 And she said <0559>, Drink <8354>, my lord <0113>: and she

hasted <4116>, and let <3381> down <3381> her pitcher <3537>

upon her hand <3027>, and gave him drink <8248>.

19 And when <3588> she had done <3615> giving him drink <8248>,

she said <0559>, I will draw <7579> [water <4325>] for thy

camels <1581> also, until they have done <3615> drinking <8354>.

20 And she hasted <4116>, and emptied <6168> her pitcher <3537>

into <0413> the trough <8268>, and ran <7323> again <5750> unto

the well <0875> to draw <7579> [water <4325>], and drew <8025>

for all <3605> his camels <1581>.

21 And the man <0376> wondering <7583> at her held <2790> his

peace <2790>, to wit <3045> whether <0518> the LORD <3068> had

made <6743> his journey <1870> prosperous <6743> or not.

22 And it came <1961> to pass, as the camels <1581> had done

<3615> drinking <8354>, that the man <0376> took <3947> a golden

<2091> earring <5141> of half <1235> a shekel <1235> weight

<4948>, and two <8147> bracelets <6781> for her hands <3027> of

ten <6235> [shekels <8255>] weight <4948> of gold <2091>;

23 And said <0559>, Whose <4310> daughter <1323> [art] thou?

tell <5046> me, I pray <4994> thee: is there room <4725> [in]

thy father's <1> house <1004> for us to lodge <3885> in?

24 And she said <0559> unto him, I [am] the daughter <1323> of

Bethuel <1328> the son <1121> of Milcah <4435>, which <0834> she

bare <3205> unto Nahor <5152>.

25 She said <0559> moreover unto him, We have both <1571> straw

<8401> and provender <4554> enough <7227>, and room <4725> to

lodge <3885> in.

26 And the man <0376> bowed <6915> down <6915> his head, and

worshipped <7812> the LORD <3068>.

27 And he said <0559>, Blessed <1288> [be] the LORD <3068> God

<0430> of my master <0113> Abraham <85>, who <4310> hath not

left <5800> destitute <5800> my master <0113> of his mercy

<2617> and his truth <0571>: I [being] in the way <1870>, the

LORD <3068> led <5148> me to the house <1004> of my master's

<0113> brethren <0251>.

28 And the damsel <5291> ran <7323>, and told <5046> [them of]

her mother's <0517> house <1004> these things <1697>.

29. And Rebekah <7259> had a brother <0251>, and his name

<8034> [was] Laban <3837>: and Laban <3837> ran <7323> out unto

the man <0376>, unto the well <5869>.

30 And it came <1961> to pass, when <3588> he saw <7200> the

earring <5141> and bracelets <6781> upon his sister's <0269>

hands <3027>, and when <3588> he heard <8085> the words <1697>

of Rebekah <7259> his sister <0269>, saying <0559>, Thus <3541>

spake <1696> the man <0376> unto me; that he came <0935> unto

the man <0376>; and, behold <2009>, he stood <5975> by the

camels <1581> at <5921> the well <5869>.

31 And he said <0559>, Come <0935> in, thou blessed <1288> of

the LORD <3068>; wherefore <4100> standest <5975> thou without

<2351>? for I have prepared <6437> the house <1004>, and room

<4725> for the camels <1581>.

32 And the man <0376> came <0935> into the house <1004>: and he

ungirded <6605> his camels <1581>, and gave <5414> straw <8401>

and provender <4554> for the camels <1581>, and water <4325> to

wash <7364> his feet <7272>, and the men's <0582> feet <7272>

that [were] with him.

33 And there was set <7760> [meat] before <6440> him to eat

<0398>: but he said <0559>, I will not eat <0398>, until I have

told <1696> mine errand <1697>. And he said <0559>, Speak <1696>

on.

34 And he said <0559>, I [am] Abraham's <85> servant <5650>.

35 And the LORD <3068> hath blessed <1288> my master <0113>

greatly <3966>; and he is become <1431> great <1431>: and he

hath given <5414> him flocks <6629>, and herds <1241>, and

silver <3701>, and gold <2091>, and menservants <5650>, and

maidservants <8198>, and camels <1581>, and asses <2543>.

36 And Sarah <8283> my master's <0113> wife <0802> bare <3205>

a son <1121> to my master <0113> when <0310> she was old <2209>:

and unto him hath he given <5414> all <3605> that he hath.

37 And my master <0113> made me swear <7650>, saying <0559>,

Thou shalt not take <3947> a wife <0802> to my son <1121> of the

daughters <1363> of the Canaanites <3669>, in whose land <0776>

I dwell <3418>:

38 But thou shalt go <3212> unto my father's <1> house <1004>,

and to my kindred <4940>, and take <3947> a wife <0802> unto my

son <1121>.

39 And I said <0559> unto my master <0113>, Peradventure <0194>

the woman <0802> will not follow me.

40 And he said <0559> unto me, The LORD <3068>, before <6440>

whom <0834> I walk <1980>, will send <7971> his angel <4397>

with thee, and prosper <6743> thy way <1870>; and thou shalt

take <3947> a wife <0802> for my son <1121> of my kindred <4940>,

and of my father's <1> house <1004>:

41 Then <0227> shalt thou be clear <5352> from [this] my oath

<0423>, when <3588> thou comest <0935> to my kindred <4940>; and

if <0518> they give <5414> not thee [one], thou shalt be clear

<5355> from my oath <0423>.

42 And I came <0935> this day <3117> unto the well <5869>, and

said <0559>, O LORD <3068> God <0430> of my master <0113>

Abraham <85>, if <0518> now <4994> thou do prosper <6743> my way

<1870> which <0834> I go <1980>:

43 Behold <2009>, I stand <5324> by the well <5869> of water

<4325>; and it shall come <1961> to pass, that when <3588> the

virgin <5959> cometh <3318> forth <3318> to draw <7579> [water],

and I say <0559> to her, Give me, I pray <4994> thee, a little

<4592> water <4325> of thy pitcher <3537> to drink <8248>;

44 And she say <0559> to me, Both <8147> drink <8354> thou, and

I will also <1571> draw <7579> for thy camels <1581>: [let] the

same <1931> [be] the woman <0802> whom <0834> the LORD <3068>

hath appointed <3198> out for my master's <0113> son <1121>.

45 And before <2962> I had done <3615> speaking <1696> in mine

heart <3820>, behold <2009>, Rebekah <7259> came <3318> forth

<3318> with her pitcher <3537> on <5921> her shoulder <7926>;

and she went <3381> down <3381> unto the well <5869>, and drew

<7579> [water <4325>]: and I said <0559> unto her, Let me drink

<8248>, I pray <4994> thee.

46 And she made haste <4116>, and let <3381> down <3381> her

pitcher <3537> from her [shoulder], and said <0559>, Drink

<8354>, and I will give thy camels <1581> drink <8248> also

<1571>: so I drank <8354>, and she made the camels <1581> drink

<8354> also <1571>.

47 And I asked <7592> her, and said <0559>, Whose daughter

<1323> [art] thou? And she said <0559>, The daughter <1323> of

Bethuel <1328>, Nahor's <5152> son <1121>, whom <0834> Milcah

<4435> bare <3205> unto him: and I put <7760> the earring <5141>

upon her face <0639>, and the bracelets <6781> upon her hands

<3027>.

48 And I bowed <6915> down <6915> my head, and worshipped

<7812> the LORD <3068>, and blessed <1288> the LORD <3068> God

<0430> of my master <0113> Abraham <85>, which <0834> had led

<5148> me in the right <0571> way <1870> to take <3947> my

master's <0113> brother's <0251> daughter <1323> unto his son

<1121>.

49 And now <6258> if <0518> ye will deal <6213> kindly <2617>

and truly <0571> with my master <0113>, tell <5046> me: and if

<0518> not, tell <5046> me; that I may turn <6437> to the right

<3225> hand <3225>, or <0176> to the left <8040>.

50 Then Laban <3837> and Bethuel <1328> answered <6030> and

said <0559>, The thing <1697> proceedeth <3318> from the LORD

<3068>: we cannot speak <1696> unto thee bad <7451> or <0176>

good <2896>.

51 Behold <2009>, Rebekah <7259> [is] before <6440> thee, take

<3947> [her], and go <3212>, and let her be thy master's <0113>

son's <1121> wife <0802>, as the LORD <3068> hath spoken <1696>.

52 And it came <1961> to pass, that, when Abraham's <85>

servant <5650> heard <8085> their words <1697>, he worshipped

<7812> the LORD <3068>, [bowing himself] to the earth <0776>.

53 And the servant <5650> brought <3318> forth <3318> jewels

<3627> of silver <3701>, and jewels <3627> of gold <2091>, and

raiment <0899>, and gave <5414> [them] to Rebekah <7259>: he

gave <5414> also to her brother <0251> and to her mother <0517>

precious <4030> things.

54. And they did eat <0398> and drink <8354>, he and the men

<0582> that [were] with him, and tarried <3885> all <3885> night;

and they rose <6965> up in the morning <1242>, and he said

<0559>, Send <7971> me away unto my master <0113>.

55 And her brother <0251> and her mother <0517> said <0559>,

Let the damsel <5291> abide <3427> with us [a few] days <3117>,

at <0176> the least <0176> ten <6218>; after <0310> that she

shall go <3212>.

56 And he said <0559> unto them, Hinder <0309> me not, seeing

the LORD <3068> hath prospered <6743> my way <1870>; send <7971>

me away that I may go <3212> to my master <0113>.

57 And they said <0559>, We will call <7121> the damsel <5291>,

and enquire <7592> at her mouth <6310>.

58 And they called <7121> Rebekah <7259>, and said <0559> unto

her, Wilt thou go <3212> with this <2088> man <0376>? And she

said <0559>, I will go <3212>.

59 And they sent <7971> away Rebekah <7259> their sister <0269>,

and her nurse <3243>, and Abraham's <85> servant <5650>, and

his men <0582>.

60 And they blessed <1288> Rebekah <7259>, and said <0559> unto

her, Thou [art] our sister <0269>, be thou [the mother] of

thousands <0505> of millions <7233>, and let thy seed <2233>

possess <3423> the gate <8179> of those which hate <8130> them.

61 And Rebekah <7259> arose <6965>, and her damsels <5291>, and

they rode <7392> upon the camels <1581>, and followed the man

<0376>: and the servant <5650> took <3947> Rebekah <7259>, and

went <3212> his way <3212>.

62. And Isaac <3327> came <0935> from the way <0935> of the

well Lahairoi <0883>; for he dwelt <3427> in the south <5045>

country <0776>.

63 And Isaac <3327> went <3318> out to meditate in the field

<7704> at the eventide: and he lifted <5375> up his eyes <5869>,

and saw <7200>, and, behold <2009>, the camels <1581> [were]

coming <0935>.

64 And Rebekah <7259> lifted <5375> up her eyes <5869>, and

when she saw <7200> Isaac <3327>, she lighted <5307> off <5921>

the camel <1581>.

65 For she [had] said <0559> unto the servant <5650>, What

<4310> man <0376> [is] this <1976> that walketh <1980> in the

field <7704> to meet <7125> us? And the servant <5650> [had]

said <0559>, It [is] my master <0113>: therefore she took <3947>

a vail <6809>, and covered <3680> herself.

66 And the servant <5650> told <5608> Isaac <3327> all <3605>

things <1697> that he had done <6213>.

67 And Isaac <3327> brought <0935> her into his mother <0517>

Sarah's <8283> tent <0168>, and took <3947> Rebekah <7259>, and

she became <1961> his wife <0802>; and he loved <0157> her: and

Isaac <3327> was comforted <5162> after <0310> his mother's

<0517> [death].

Genesis 25

1. Then again <3254> Abraham <85> took <3947> a wife <0802>,

and her name <8034> [was] Keturah <6989>.

2 And she bare <3205> him Zimran <2175>, and Jokshan <3370>,

and Medan <4091>, and Midian <4080>, and Ishbak <3435>, and

Shuah <7774>.

3 And Jokshan <3370> begat <3205> Sheba <7614>, and Dedan

<1719>. And the sons <1121> of Dedan <1719> were Asshurim <0805>,

and Letushim <3912>, and Leummim <3817>.

4 And the sons <1121> of Midian <4080>; Ephah <5891>, and Epher

<6081>, and Hanoch <2585>, and Abida <28>, and Eldaah <0420>.

All <3605> these <0428> [were] the children <1121> of Keturah

<6989>.

5 And Abraham <85> gave <5414> all <3605> that he had unto

Isaac <3327>.

6 But unto the sons <1121> of the concubines <6370>, which

<0834> Abraham <85> had, Abraham <85> gave <5414> gifts <4979>,

and sent <7971> them away from Isaac <3327> his son <1121>,

while he yet lived <2416>, eastward <6924>, unto the east <6924>

country <0776>.

7 And these <0428> [are] the days <3117> of the years <8141> of

Abraham's <85> life <2416> which <0834> he lived <2425>, an

hundred <3967> threescore <7657> and fifteen <2568> years <8141>.

8 Then Abraham <85> gave up the ghost <1478>, and died <4191>

in a good <2896> old <7872> age <7872>, an old <2205> man, and

full <7649> [of years]; and was gathered <0622> to his people

<5971>.

9 And his sons <1121> Isaac <3327> and Ishmael <3458> buried

<6912> him in the cave <4631> of Machpelah <4375>, in the field

<7704> of Ephron <6085> the son <1121> of Zohar <6714> the

Hittite <2850>, which <0834> [is] before Mamre <4471>;

10 The field <7704> which <0834> Abraham <85> purchased <7069>

of the sons <1121> of Heth <2845>: there <8033> was Abraham <85>

buried <6912>, and Sarah <8283> his wife <0802>.

11. And it came <1061> to pass after <0310> the death <4194> of

Abraham <85>, that God <0430> blessed <1288> his son <1121>

Isaac <3327>; and Isaac <3327> dwelt <3427> by the well <0883>

Lahairoi <0883>.

12 Now these <0428> [are] the generations <8435> of Ishmael

<3458>, Abraham's <85> son <1121>, whom <0834> Hagar <1904> the

Egyptian <4713>, Sarah's <8283> handmaid <8198>, bare <3205>

unto Abraham <85>:

13 And these <0428> [are] the names <8034> of the sons <1121>

of Ishmael <3458>, by their names <8034>, according to their

generations <8435>: the firstborn <1060> of Ishmael <3458>,

Nebajoth <5032>; and Kedar <6938>, and Adbeel <0110>, and Mibsam

<4017>,

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

15 Hadar <1924>, and Tema <8485>, Jetur <3195>, Naphish <5305>,

and Kedemah <6929>:

16 These <0428> [are] the sons <1121> of Ishmael <3458>, and

these <0428> [are] their names <8034>, by their towns <2691>,

and by their castles <2918>; twelve princes <5387> according to

their nations <0523>.

17 And these <0428> [are] the years <8141> of the life <2416>

of Ishmael <3458>, an hundred <3967> and thirty <7970> and seven

<7651> years <8141>: and he gave up the ghost <1478> and died

<4191>; and was gathered <0622> unto his people <5971>.

18 And they dwelt <7931> from Havilah <2341> unto Shur <7793>,

that [is] before Egypt <4714>, as thou goest <0935> toward

Assyria <0804>: [and] he died <5307> in the presence <6440> of

all <3605> his brethren <0251>.

19. And these <0428> [are] the generations <8435> of Isaac

<3327>, Abraham's <85> son <1121>: Abraham <85> begat <3205>

Isaac <3327>:

20 And Isaac <3327> was forty <0705> years <8141> old <1121>

when he took <3947> Rebekah <7259> to wife <0802>, the daughter

<1323> of Bethuel <1328> the Syrian <0761> of Padanaram <6307>,

the sister <0269> to Laban <3837> the Syrian <0761>.

21 And Isaac <3327> intreated <6279> the LORD <3068> for his

wife <0802>, because <3588> she [was] barren <6135>: and the

LORD <3068> was intreated <6279> of him, and Rebekah <7259> his

wife <0802> conceived <2030>.

22 And the children <1121> struggled <7533> together within

<7130> her; and she said <0559>, If <0518> [it be] so <3651>,

why <4100> [am] I thus <2088>? And she went <3212> to enquire

<1875> of the LORD <3068>.

23 And the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto her, Two <8147> nations

<1471> [are] in thy womb <0990>, and two <8147> manner of people

<3816> shall be separated <6504> from thy bowels <4578>; and

[the one] people <3816> shall be stronger <0553> than [the

other] people <3816>; and the elder <7227> shall serve <5647>

the younger <6810>.

24 And when her days <3117> to be delivered <3205> were

fulfilled <4390>, behold <2009>, [there were] twins <8380> in

her womb <0990>.

25 And the first <7223> came <3318> out red <0132>, all <3605>

over like an hairy <8181> garment <0155>; and they called <7121>

his name <8034> Esau <6215>.

26 And after <0310> that came <3318> his brother <0251> out,

and his hand <3027> took hold <0270> on Esau's <6215> heel

<6119>; and his name <8034> was called <7121> Jacob <3290>: and

Isaac <3327> [was] threescore <8346> years <8141> old <1121>

when she bare <3205> them.

27 And the boys <5288> grew <1431>: and Esau <6215> was a

cunning <3045> hunter <6718>, a man <0376> of the field <7704>;

and Jacob <3290> [was] a plain <8535> man <0376>, dwelling

<3427> in tents <0168>.

28 And Isaac <3327> loved <0157> Esau <6215>, because <3588> he

did eat <6310> of [his] venison <6718>: but Rebekah <7259> loved

<0157> Jacob <3290>.

29. And Jacob <3290> sod <2102> pottage <5138>: and Esau <6215>

came <0935> from the field <7704>, and he [was] faint <5889>:

30 And Esau <6215> said <0559> to Jacob <3290>, Feed <3938> me,

I pray <4994> thee, with that same <2088> red <0122> [pottage];

for I [am] faint <5889>: therefore was his name <8034> called

<7121> Edom <0123>.

31 And Jacob <3290> said <0559>, Sell <4376> me this day <3117>

thy birthright <1062>.

32 And Esau <6215> said <0559>, Behold <2009>, I [am] at the

point <1980> to die <4191>: and what <4100> profit shall this

<2088> birthright <1062> do to me?

33 And Jacob <3290> said <0559>, Swear <7650> to me this day

<3117>; and he sware <7650> unto him: and he sold <4376> his

birthright <1062> unto Jacob <3290>.

34 Then Jacob <3290> gave <5414> Esau <6215> bread <3899> and

pottage <5138> of lentiles <5742>; and he did eat <0398> and

drink <8354>, and rose <6965> up, and went <3212> his way <3212>:

thus Esau <6215> despised <0959> [his] birthright <1062>.

Genesis 26

1. And there was a famine <7458> in the land <0776>, beside

<0905> the first <7223> famine <7458> that was in the days

<3117> of Abraham <85>. And Isaac <3327> went <3212> unto

Abimelech <40> king <4428> of the Philistines <6430> unto Gerar

<1642>.

2 And the LORD <3068> appeared <7200> unto him, and said <0559>,

Go <3381> not down <3381> into Egypt <4714>; dwell <7931> in

the land <0776> which <0834> I shall tell <0559> thee of:

3 Sojourn <1481> in this <2063> land <0776>, and I will be with

thee, and will bless <1288> thee; for unto thee, and unto thy

seed <2233>, I will give <5414> all <3605> these <0411>

countries <0776>, and I will perform <6965> the oath <7621>

which <0834> I sware <7650> unto Abraham <85> thy father <1>;

4 And I will make thy seed <2233> to multiply <7235> as the

stars <3556> of heaven <8064>, and will give <5414> unto thy

seed <2233> all <3605> these <0411> countries <0776>; and in thy

seed <2233> shall all <3605> the nations <1471> of the earth

<0776> be blessed <1288>;

5 Because <6119> that Abraham <85> obeyed <8085> my voice

<6963>, and kept <8104> my charge <4931>, my commandments <4687>,

my statutes <2708>, and my laws <8451>.

6. And Isaac <3327> dwelt <3427> in Gerar <1642>:

7 And the men <0582> of the place <4725> asked <7592> [him] of

his wife <0802>; and he said <0559>, She [is] my sister <0269>:

for he feared <3372> to say <0559>, [She is] my wife <0802>;

lest <6435>, [said <0559> he], the men <0582> of the place

<4725> should kill <2026> me for Rebekah <7259>; because <3588>

she [was] fair <2896> to look <4758> upon.

8 And it came <1961> to pass, when <3588> he had been there

<8033> a long <0748> time <3117>, that Abimelech <40> king

<4428> of the Philistines <6430> looked <8259> out at <1157> a

window <2474>, and saw <7200>, and, behold <2009>, Isaac <3327>

[was] sporting <6711> with Rebekah <7259> his wife <0802>.

9 And Abimelech <40> called <7121> Isaac <3327>, and said

<0559>, Behold <2009>, of a surety <0389> she [is] thy wife

<0802>: and how <0349> saidst <0559> thou, She [is] my sister

<0269>? And Isaac <3327> said <0559> unto him, Because <3588> I

said <0559>, Lest <6435> I die <4191> for her.

10 And Abimelech <40> said <0559>, What <4100> [is] this <2063>

thou hast done <6213> unto us? one <0259> of the people <5971>

might lightly <4592> have lien <7901> with thy wife <0802>, and

thou shouldest have brought <0935> guiltiness <0817> upon us.

11 And Abimelech <40> charged <6680> all <3605> [his] people

<5971>, saying <0559>, He that toucheth <5060> this <2088> man

<0376> or his wife <0802> shall surely be put to death <4194>.

12. Then Isaac <3327> sowed <2232> in that land <0776>, and

received <4672> in the same <1931> year <8141> an hundredfold:

and the LORD <3068> blessed <1288> him.

13 And the man <0376> waxed great <1431>, and went <3212>

forward <1980>, and grew <1432> until <5704> he became <1431>

very <3966> great <1431>:

14 For he had possession <4735> of flocks <6629>, and

possession <4735> of herds <1241>, and great <7227> store of

servants <5657>: and the Philistines <6430> envied <7065> him.

15 For all <3605> the wells <0875> which <0834> his father's

<1> servants <5650> had digged <2658> in the days <3117> of

Abraham <85> his father <1>, the Philistines <6430> had stopped

<5640> them, and filled <4390> them with earth <6083>.

16 And Abimelech <40> said <0559> unto Isaac <3327>, Go <3212>

from us; for thou art much <3966> mightier <6105> than we.

17 And Isaac <3327> departed <3212> thence <8033>, and pitched

<2583> his tent in the valley <5158> of Gerar <1642>, and dwelt

<3427> there <8033>.

18 And Isaac <3327> digged <2658> again <7725> the wells <0875>

of water <4325>, which <0834> they had digged <2658> in the days

<3117> of Abraham <85> his father <1>; for the Philistines

<6430> had stopped <5640> them after <0310> the death <4194> of

Abraham <85>: and he called <7121> their names <8034> after the

names <8034> by which <0834> his father <1> had called <7121>

them.

19 And Isaac's <3327> servants <5650> digged <2658> in the

valley <5158>, and found <4672> there <8033> a well <0875> of

springing <2416> water <4325>.

20 And the herdmen <7462> of Gerar <1642> did strive <7378>

with Isaac's <3327> herdmen <7462>, saying <0559>, The water

<4325> [is] ours: and he called <7121> the name <8034> of the

well <0875> Esek <6320>; because <3588> they strove <6229> with

him.

21 And they digged <2658> another <0312> well <0875>, and

strove <7378> for that also <1571>: and he called <7121> the

name <8034> of it Sitnah <7856>.

22 And he removed <6275> from thence <8033>, and digged <2658>

another <0312> well <0875>; and for that they strove <7378> not:

and he called <7121> the name <8034> of it Rehoboth <7344>; and

he said <0559>, For now <6258> the LORD <3068> hath made room

<7337> for us, and we shall be fruitful <6509> in the land

<0776>.

23 And he went <5927> up from thence <8033> to Beersheba <0884>.

24 And the LORD <3068> appeared <7200> unto him the same <1931>

night <3915>, and said <0559>, I [am] the God <0430> of Abraham

<85> thy father <1>: fear <3372> not, for I [am] with thee, and

will bless <1288> thee, and multiply <7235> thy seed <2233> for

my servant <5650> Abraham's <85> sake <5668>.

25 And he builded <1129> an altar <4196> there <8033>, and

called <7121> upon the name <8034> of the LORD <3068>, and

pitched <5186> his tent <0168> there <8033>: and there <8033>

Isaac's <3327> servants <5650> digged <3738> a well <0875>.

26. Then Abimelech <40> went <1980> to him from Gerar <1642>,

and Ahuzzath <0276> one of his friends <4828>, and Phichol

<6369> the chief captain <8269> of his army <6635>.

27 And Isaac <3327> said <0559> unto them, Wherefore <4069>

come <0935> ye to me, seeing <7200> ye hate <8130> me, and have

sent <7971> me away from you?

28 And they said <0559>, We saw <7200> certainly that the LORD

<3068> was with thee: and we said <0559>, Let there be now

<4994> an oath <0423> betwixt <0996> us, [even] betwixt <0996>

us and thee, and let us make <3772> a covenant <1285> with thee;

29 That thou wilt do <6213> us no <3808> hurt <7451>, as we

have not touched <5060> thee, and as we have done <6213> unto

thee nothing <7535> but good <2896>, and have <1961> sent <7971>

thee away in peace <7965>: thou [art] now <6258> the blessed

<1288> of the LORD <3068>.

30 And he made <6213> them a feast <4960>, and they did eat

<0398> and drink <8354>.

31 And they rose <7925> up betimes <7925> in the morning <1242>,

and sware <7650> one <0376> to another <0312>: and Isaac <3327>

sent <7971> them away, and they departed <3212> from him in

peace <7965>.

32 And it came <1961> to pass the same <1931> day <3117>, that

Isaac's <3327> servants <5650> came <0935>, and told <5046> him

concerning the well <0875> which <0834> they had digged <2658>,

and said <0559> unto him, We have found <4672> water <4325>.

33 And he called <7121> it Shebah <7656>: therefore the name

<8034> of the city <5892> [is] Beersheba <0884> unto this <2088>

day <3117>.

34. And Esau <6215> was forty <0705> years <8141> old <1121>

when <3588> he took <3947> to wife <0802> Judith <3067> the

daughter <1323> of Beeri <0882> the Hittite <2850>, and

Bashemath <1315> the daughter <1323> of Elon <0356> the Hittite

<2850>:

35 Which <0834> were a grief <4786> of mind <7307> unto Isaac

<3327> and to Rebekah <7259>.

Genesis 27

1. And it came <1961> to pass, that when <3588> Isaac <3327>

was old <2204>, and his eyes <5869> were dim <3543>, so that he

could not see <7200>, he called <7121> Esau <6215> his eldest

<1419> son <1121>, and said <0559> unto him, My son <1121>: and

he said <0559> unto him, Behold <2009>, [here am] I.

2 And he said <0559>, Behold <2009> now <4994>, I am old <2204>,

I know <3045> not the day <3117> of my death <4194>:

3 Now <6258> therefore take <5375>, I pray <4994> thee, thy

weapons <3627>, thy quiver <8522> and thy bow <7198>, and go

<3318> out to the field <7704>, and take <6679> me [some]

venison <6720>;

4 And make <6213> me savoury <4303> meat, such as I love <0157>,

and bring <0935> [it] to me, that I may eat <0398>; that my

soul <5315> may bless <1288> thee before <2962> I die <4191>.

5 And Rebekah <7259> heard <8085> when <3588> Isaac <3327>

spake <1696> to Esau <6215> his son <1121>. And Esau <6215> went

<3212> to the field <7704> to hunt <6679> [for] venison <6718>,

[and] to bring <0935> [it].

6. And Rebekah <7259> spake <0559> unto Jacob <3290> her son

<1121>, saying <0559>, Behold <2009>, I heard <8085> thy father

<1> speak <1696> unto Esau <6215> thy brother <0251>, saying

<0559>,

7 Bring <0935> me venison <6718>, and make <6213> me savoury

<4303> meat, that I may eat <0398>, and bless <1288> thee before

<6440> the LORD <3068> before <6440> my death <4194>.

8 Now <6258> therefore, my son <1121>, obey <8085> my voice

<6963> according to that which <0834> I command <6680> thee.

9 Go <3212> now <4994> to the flock <6629>, and fetch <3947> me

from thence <8033> two <8147> good <2896> kids <1423> of the

goats <5795>; and I will make <6213> them savoury <4303> meat

for thy father <1>, such as he loveth <0157>:

10 And thou shalt bring <0935> [it] to thy father <1>, that he

may eat <0398>, and that he may bless <1288> thee before <6440>

his death <4194>.

11 And Jacob <3290> said <0559> to Rebekah <7259> his mother

<0517>, Behold <2005>, Esau <6215> my brother <0251> [is] a

hairy <8163> man <0376>, and I [am] a smooth <2509> man <0376>:

12 My father <1> peradventure <0194> will feel <4959> me, and I

shall seem to him as a deceiver <8591>; and I shall bring <0935>

a curse <7045> upon me, and not a blessing <1293>.

13 And his mother <0517> said <0559> unto him, Upon me [be] thy

curse <7045>, my son <1121>: only obey <8085> my voice <6963>,

and go <3212> fetch <3947> me [them].

14 And he went <3212>, and fetched <3947>, and brought <0935>

[them] to his mother <0517>: and his mother <0517> made <6213>

savoury <4303> meat, such as his father <1> loved <0157>.

15 And Rebekah <7259> took <3947> goodly <2530> raiment <0899>

of her eldest <1419> son <1121> Esau <6215>, which <0834> [were]

with her in the house <1004>, and put <3847> them upon Jacob

<3290> her younger <6996> son <1121>:

16 And she put <3847> the skins <5785> of the kids <1423> of

the goats <5795> upon his hands <3027>, and upon the smooth

<2513> of his neck <6677>:

17 And she gave <5414> the savoury <4303> meat and the bread

<3899>, which <0834> she had prepared <6213>, into the hand

<3027> of her son <1121> Jacob <3290>.

18. And he came <0935> unto his father <1>, and said <0559>, My

father <1>: and he said <0559>, Here <2009> [am] I; who <4310>

[art] thou, my son <1121>?

19 And Jacob <3290> said <0559> unto his father <1>, I [am]

Esau <6215> thy firstborn <1060>; I have done <6213> according

as thou badest <1696> me: arise <6965>, I pray <4994> thee, sit

<3427> and eat <0398> of my venison <6718>, that thy soul <5315>

may bless <1288> me.

20 And Isaac <3327> said <0559> unto his son <1121>, How <4100>

[is it] that thou hast found <4672> [it] so quickly <4116>, my

son <1121>? And he said <0559>, Because <3588> the LORD <3068>

thy God <0430> brought <7136> [it] to me.

21 And Isaac <3327> said <0559> unto Jacob <3290>, Come <5066>

near <5066>, I pray <4994> thee, that I may feel <4184> thee, my

son <1121>, whether thou [be] my very <2088> son <1121> Esau

<6215> or not.

22 And Jacob <3290> went <5066> near <5066> unto Isaac <3327>

his father <1>; and he felt <4959> him, and said <0559>, The

voice <6963> [is] Jacob's <3290> voice <6963>, but the hands

<3027> [are] the hands <3027> of Esau <6215>.

23 And he discerned <5234> him not, because <3588> his hands

<3027> were hairy <8163>, as his brother <0251> Esau's <6215>

hands <3027>: so he blessed <1288> him.

24 And he said <0559>, [Art] thou my very <2088> son <1121>

Esau <6215>? And he said <0559>, I [am].

25 And he said <0559>, Bring <5066> [it] near <5066> to me, and

I will eat <0398> of my son's <1121> venison <6718>, that my

soul <5315> may bless <1288> thee. And he brought <5066> [it]

near <5066> to him, and he did eat <0398>: and he brought <0935>

him wine <3196>, and he drank <8354>.

26 And his father <1> Isaac <3327> said <0559> unto him, Come

<5066> near <5066> now <4994>, and kiss <5401> me, my son <1121>.

27 And he came <5066> near <5066>, and kissed <5401> him: and

he smelled <7306> the smell <7381> of his raiment <0899>, and

blessed <1288> him, and said <0559>, See <7200>, the smell

<7381> of my son <1121> [is] as the smell <7381> of a field

<7704> which <0834> the LORD <3068> hath blessed <1288>:

28 Therefore God <0430> give <5414> thee of the dew <2919> of

heaven <8064>, and the fatness <4924> of the earth <0776>, and

plenty <7230> of corn <1715> and wine <8492>:

29 Let people <5971> serve <5647> thee, and nations <3816> bow

<7812> down <7812> to thee: be lord <1376> over thy brethren

<0251>, and let thy mother's <0517> sons <1121> bow <7812> down

<7812> to thee: cursed <0779> [be] every one that curseth <0779>

thee, and blessed <1288> [be] he that blesseth <1288> thee.

30. And it came <1961> to pass, as soon <0834> as Isaac <3327>

had made an end <3615> of blessing <1293> Jacob <3290>, and

Jacob <3290> was yet <0389> scarce gone <3318> out from the

presence <6440> of Isaac <3327> his father <1>, that Esau <6215>

his brother <0251> came <0935> in from his hunting <6718>.

31 And he also <1571> had made <6213> savoury <4303> meat, and

brought <0935> it unto his father <1>, and said <0559> unto his

father <1>, Let my father <1> arise <6965>, and eat <0398> of

his son's <1121> venison <6718>, that thy soul <5315> may bless

<1288> me.

32 And Isaac <3327> his father <1> said <0559> unto him, Who

<4310> [art] thou? And he said <0559>, I [am] thy son <1121>,

thy firstborn <1060> Esau <6215>.

33 And Isaac <3327> trembled <2729> very <1419> exceedingly

<1419>, and said <0559>, Who <4310>? where <0645> [is] he that

hath taken <6679> venison <6718>, and brought <0935> [it] me,

and I have eaten <0398> of all <3605> before <2962> thou camest

<0935>, and have blessed <1288> him? yea <1571>, [and] he shall

be blessed <1288>.

34 And when Esau <6215> heard <8085> the words <1697> of his

father <1>, he cried <6817> with a great <1419> and exceeding

<3966> bitter <4751> cry <6818>, and said <0559> unto his father

<1>, Bless <1288> me, [even <1571>] me also <1571>, O my father

<1>.

35 And he said <0559>, Thy brother <0251> came <0935> with

subtilty <4820>, and hath taken <3947> away thy blessing <1293>.

36 And he said <0559>, Is not he rightly <3588> named Jacob

<3290>? for he hath supplanted <6117> me these <2088> two <6471>

times <6471>: he took <3947> away my birthright <1062>; and,

behold <2009>, now <6258> he hath taken <3947> away my blessing

<1293>. And he said <0559>, Hast thou not reserved <0680> a

blessing <1293> for me?

37 And Isaac <3327> answered <6030> and said <0559> unto Esau

<6215>, Behold <2005>, I have made <7760> him thy lord <1376>,

and all <3605> his brethren <0251> have I given <5414> to him

for servants <5650>; and with corn <1715> and wine <8492> have I

sustained <5564> him: and what <4100> shall I do <6213> now

<0645> unto thee, my son <1121>?

38 And Esau <6215> said <0559> unto his father <1>, Hast thou

but one <0259> blessing <1293>, my father <1>? bless <1288> me,

[even <1571>] me also <1571>, O my father <1>. And Esau <6215>

lifted <5375> up his voice <6963>, and wept <1058>.

39 And Isaac <3327> his father <1> answered <6030> and said

<0559> unto him, Behold <2009>, thy dwelling <4186> shall be the

fatness <4924> of the earth <0776>, and of the dew <2919> of

heaven <8064> from above <5921>;

40 And by thy sword <2719> shalt thou live <2421>, and shalt

serve <5647> thy brother <0251>; and it shall come <1961> to

pass when <0834> thou shalt have the dominion <7300>, that thou

shalt break <6561> his yoke <5923> from off <5921> thy neck

<6677>.

41. And Esau <6215> hated <7852> Jacob <3290> because <5921> of

the blessing <1293> wherewith <0834> his father <1> blessed

<1288> him: and Esau <6215> said <0559> in his heart <3820>, The

days <3117> of mourning <60> for my father <1> are at <7126>

hand <7126>; then will I slay <2026> my brother <0251> Jacob

<3290>.

42 And these words <1697> of Esau <6215> her elder <1419> son

<1121> were told <5046> to Rebekah <7259>: and she sent <7971>

and called <7121> Jacob <3290> her younger <6996> son <1121>,

and said <0559> unto him, Behold <2009>, thy brother <0251> Esau

<6215>, as touching thee, doth comfort <5162> himself,

[purposing] to kill <2026> thee.

43 Now <6258> therefore, my son <1121>, obey <8085> my voice

<6963>; and arise <6965>, flee <1272> thou to Laban <3837> my

brother <0251> to Haran <2771>;

44 And tarry <3427> with him a few <0259> days <3117>, until

thy brother's <0251> fury <2534> turn <7725> away;

45 Until <5704> thy brother's <0251> anger <0639> turn <7725>

away from thee, and he forget <7911> [that] which <0834> thou

hast done <6213> to him: then I will send <7971>, and fetch

<3947> thee from thence <8033>: why <4100> should I be deprived

<7921> also <1571> of you both <8147> in one <0259> day <3117>?

46 And Rebekah <7259> said <0559> to Isaac <3327>, I am weary

<6973> of my life <2416> because <6440> of the daughters <1363>

of Heth <2845>: if <0518> Jacob <3290> take <3947> a wife <0802>

of the daughters <1363> of Heth <2845>, such as these <0428>

[which <0834> are] of the daughters <1363> of the land <0776>,

what <4100> good shall my life <2416> do me?

Genesis 28

1. And Isaac <3327> called <7121> Jacob <3290>, and blessed

<1288> him, and charged <6680> him, and said <0559> unto him,

Thou shalt not take <3947> a wife <0802> of the daughters <1363>

of Canaan <3667>.

2 Arise <6965>, go <3212> to Padanaram <6307>, to the house

<1004> of Bethuel <1328> thy mother's <0517> father <1>; and

take <3947> thee a wife <0802> from thence <8033> of the

daughters <1363> of Laban <3837> thy mother's <0517> brother

<0251>.

3 And God <0410> Almighty <7706> bless <1288> thee, and make

thee fruitful <6509>, and multiply <7235> thee, that thou mayest

be a multitude <6951> of people <5971>;

4 And give <5414> thee the blessing <1293> of Abraham <85>, to

thee, and to thy seed <2233> with thee; that thou mayest inherit

<3423> the land <0776> wherein thou art a stranger <4033>, which

<0834> God <0430> gave <5414> unto Abraham <85>.

5 And Isaac <3327> sent <7971> away Jacob <3290>: and he went

<3212> to Padanaram <6307> unto Laban <3837>, son <1121> of

Bethuel <1328> the Syrian <0761>, the brother <0251> of Rebekah

<7259>, Jacob's <3290> and Esau's <6215> mother <0517>.

6. When Esau <6215> saw <7200> that Isaac <3327> had blessed

<1288> Jacob <3290>, and sent <7971> him away to Padanaram

<6307>, to take <3947> him a wife <0802> from thence <8033>; and

that as he blessed <1288> him he gave him a charge <6680>,

saying <0559>, Thou shalt not take <3947> a wife <0802> of the

daughters <1363> of Canaan <3667>;

7 And that Jacob <3290> obeyed <8085> his father <1> and his

mother <0517>, and was gone <3212> to Padanaram <6307>;

8 And Esau <6215> seeing <7200> that the daughters <1363> of

Canaan <3667> pleased not Isaac <3327> his father <1>;

9 Then went <3212> Esau <6215> unto Ishmael <3458>, and took

<3947> unto the wives <0802> which he had Mahalath <4258> the

daughter <1323> of Ishmael <3458> Abraham's <85> son <1121>, the

sister <0269> of Nebajoth <5032>, to be his wife <0802>.

10. And Jacob <3290> went <3318> out from Beersheba <0884>, and

went <3212> toward Haran <2771>.

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

tarried <3885> there <8033> all <3885> night, because <3588> the

sun <8121> was set <0935>; and he took <3947> of the stones <68>

of that place <4725>, and put <7760> [them for] his pillows

<4763>, and lay <7901> down in that place <4725> to sleep <7901>.

12 And he dreamed <2492>, and behold <2009> a ladder <5551> set

<5324> up on the earth <0776>, and the top <7218> of it reached

<5060> to heaven <8064>: and behold <2009> the angels <4397> of

God <0430> ascending <5927> and descending <3381> on it.

13 And, behold <2009>, the LORD <3068> stood <5324> above

<5921> it, and said <0559>, I [am] the LORD <3068> God <0430> of

Abraham <85> thy father <1>, and the God <0430> of Isaac <3327>:

the land <0776> whereon thou liest <7901>, to thee will I give

<5414> it, and to thy seed <2233>;

14 And thy seed <2233> shall be as the dust <6083> of the earth

<0776>, and thou shalt spread <6555> abroad <6555> to the west

<3220>, and to the east <6924>, and to the north <6828>, and to

the south <5045>: and in thee and in thy seed <2233> shall all

<3605> the families <4940> of the earth <0127> be blessed <1288>.

15 And, behold <2009>, I [am] with thee, and will keep <8104>

thee in all <3605> [places] whither <0834> thou goest <3212>,

and will bring <7725> thee again <7725> into <0413> this <2063>

land <0127>; for I will not leave <5800> thee, until I have done

<6213> [that] which <0834> I have spoken <1696> to thee of.

16. And Jacob <3290> awaked <3364> out of his sleep <8142>, and

he said <0559>, Surely <0403> the LORD <3068> is in this <2088>

place <4725>; and I knew <3045> [it] not.

17 And he was afraid <3372>, and said <0559>, How <4100>

dreadful <3372> [is] this <2088> place <4725>! this <2088> [is]

none <0369> other but the house <1004> of God <0430>, and this

<2088> [is] the gate <8179> of heaven <8064>.

18 And Jacob <3290> rose <7925> up early <7925> in the morning

<1242>, and took <3947> the stone <68> that he had put <7760>

[for] his pillows <4763>, and set <7760> it up [for] a pillar

<4676>, and poured <3332> oil <8081> upon the top <7218> of it.

19 And he called <7121> the name <8034> of that place <4725>

Bethel <1008>: but the name <8034> of that city <5892> [was

called] Luz <3870> at the first <7223>.

20 And Jacob <3290> vowed <5087> a vow <5088>, saying <0559>,

If <0518> God <0430> will be with me, and will keep <8104> me in

this <2088> way <1870> that I go <1980>, and will give <5414> me

bread <3899> to eat <0398>, and raiment <0899> to put <3847> on,

21 So that I come <7725> again <7725> to my father's <1> house

<1004> in peace <7965>; then shall the LORD <3068> be my God

<0430>:

22 And this <2063> stone <68>, which <0834> I have set <7760>

[for] a pillar <4676>, shall be God's <0430> house <1004>: and

of all <3605> that thou shalt give <5414> me I will surely give

the tenth <6237> unto thee.

Genesis 29

1. Then Jacob <3290> went on his journey, and came <3212> into

<0413> the land <0776> of the people <1121> of the east <6924>.

2 And he looked <7200>, and behold <2009> a well <0875> in the

field <7704>, and, lo <2009>, there <8033> [were] three <7969>

flocks <5739> of sheep <6629> lying <7257> by it; for out of

that well <0875> they watered <8248> the flocks <5739>: and a

great <1419> stone <68> [was] upon the well's <0875> mouth

<6310>.

3 And thither <8033> were all <3605> the flocks <5739> gathered

<0622>: and they rolled <1556> the stone <68> from the well's

<0875> mouth <6310>, and watered <8248> the sheep <6629>, and

put <7725> the stone <68> again <7725> upon the well's <0875>

mouth <6310> in his place <4725>.

4 And Jacob <3290> said <0559> unto them, My brethren <0251>,

whence <0370> [be] ye? And they said <0559>, Of Haran <2771>

[are] we.

5 And he said <0559> unto them, Know <3045> ye Laban <3837> the

son <1121> of Nahor <5152>? And they said <0559>, We know <3045>

[him].

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

said <0559>, [He is] well <7965>: and, behold <2009>, Rachel

<7354> his daughter <1323> cometh <0935> with the sheep <6629>.

7 And he said <0559>, Lo <2005>, [it is] yet <5750> high <1419>

day <3117>, neither <3808> [is it] time <6256> that the cattle

<4735> should be gathered <0622> together: water <4325> ye the

sheep <6629>, and go <3212> [and] feed <7462> [them].

8 And they said <0559>, We cannot, until <5704> all <3605> the

flocks <5739> be gathered <0622> together, and [till] they roll

<1556> the stone <68> from the well's <0875> mouth <6310>; then

we water <4325> the sheep <6629>.

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

<7354> came <0935> with her father's <1> sheep <6629>: for she

kept <7462> them.

10 And it came <1961> to pass, when <0834> Jacob <3290> saw

<7200> Rachel <7354> the daughter <1323> of Laban <3837> his

mother's <0517> brother <0251>, and the sheep <6629> of Laban

<3837> his mother's <0517> brother <0251>, that Jacob <3290>

went <5066> near <5066>, and rolled <1556> the stone <68> from

the well's <0875> mouth <6310>, and watered <8248> the flock

<6629> of Laban <3837> his mother's <0517> brother <0251>.

11 And Jacob <3290> kissed <5401> Rachel <7354>, and lifted

<5375> up his voice <6963>, and wept <1058>.

12 And Jacob <3290> told <5046> Rachel <7354> that he [was] her

father's <1> brother <0251>, and that he [was] Rebekah's <7259>

son <1121>: and she ran <7323> and told <5046> her father <1>.

13 And it came <1961> to pass, when Laban <3837> heard <8085>

the tidings <8088> of Jacob <3290> his sister's <0269> son

<1121>, that he ran <7323> to meet <7125> him, and embraced

<2263> him, and kissed <5401> him, and brought <0935> him to his

house <1004>. And he told <5608> Laban <3837> all <3605> these

<0428> things <1697>.

14 And Laban <3837> said <0559> to him, Surely <0389> thou

[art] my bone <6106> and my flesh <1320>. And he abode <3427>

with him the space <3117> of a month <2320>.

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

<3588> thou [art] my brother <0251>, shouldest thou therefore

serve <5647> me for nought <2600>? tell <5046> me, what <4100>

[shall] thy wages <4909> [be]?

16 And Laban <3837> had two <8147> daughters <1363>: the name

<8034> of the elder <1419> [was] Leah <3812>, and the name

<8034> of the younger <6996> [was] Rachel <7354>.

17 Leah <3812> [was] tender <7390> eyed <5869>; but Rachel

<7354> was beautiful and well <3303> favoured <4758>.

18 And Jacob <3290> loved <0157> Rachel <7354>; and said <0559>,

I will serve <5647> thee seven <7651> years <8141> for Rachel

<7354> thy younger <6996> daughter <1323>.

19 And Laban <3837> said <0559>, [It is] better <2896> that I

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

another <0312> man <0376>: abide <3427> with me.

20 And Jacob <3290> served <5647> seven <7651> years <8141> for

Rachel <7354>; and they seemed unto him [but] a few <0259> days

<3117>, for the love <0160> he had to her.

21 And Jacob <3290> said <0559> unto Laban <3837>, Give <3051>

[me] my wife <0802>, for my days <3117> are fulfilled <4390>,

that I may go <0935> in unto her.

22 And Laban <3837> gathered <0622> together all <3605> the men

<0582> of the place <4725>, and made <6213> a feast <4960>.

23 And it came <1961> to pass in the evening <6153>, that he

took <3947> Leah <3812> his daughter <1323>, and brought <0935>

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

24 And Laban <3837> gave <5414> unto his daughter <1323> Leah

<3812> Zilpah <2153> his maid <8198> [for] an handmaid <8198>.

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

behold <2009>, it [was] Leah <3812>: and he said <0559> to Laban

<3837>, What <4100> [is] this <2063> thou hast done <6213> unto

me? did not I serve <5647> with thee for Rachel <7354>?

wherefore then hast thou beguiled <7411> me?

26 And Laban <3837> said <0559>, It must not be so <3651> done

<6213> in our country <4725>, to give <5414> the younger <6810>

before <6440> the firstborn <1067>.

27 Fulfil <4390> her week <7620>, and we will give <5414> thee

this <2063> also <1571> for the service <5656> which <0834> thou

shalt serve <5647> with me yet <5750> seven <7651> other <0312>

years <8141>.

28 And Jacob <3290> did <6213> so <3651>, and fulfilled <4390>

her week <7620>: and he gave <5414> him Rachel <7354> his

daughter <1323> to wife <0802> also.

29 And Laban <3837> gave <5414> to Rachel <7354> his daughter

<1323> Bilhah <1090> his handmaid <8198> to be her maid <8198>.

30 And he went <0935> in also <1571> unto Rachel <7354>, and he

loved <0157> also <1571> Rachel <7354> more than Leah <3812>,

and served <5647> with him yet <5750> seven <7651> other <0312>

years <8141>.

31. And when the LORD <3068> saw <7200> that Leah <3812> [was]

hated <8130>, he opened <6605> her womb <7358>: but Rachel

<7354> [was] barren <6135>.

32 And Leah <3812> conceived <2030>, and bare <3205> a son

<1121>, and she called <7121> his name <8034> Reuben <7205>: for

she said <0559>, Surely <3588> the LORD <3068> hath looked

<7200> upon my affliction <6040>; now <6258> therefore <3588> my

husband <0376> will love <0157> me.

33 And she conceived <2030> again <5750>, and bare <3205> a son

<1121>; and said <0559>, Because <3588> the LORD <3068> hath

heard <8085> that I [was] hated <8130>, he hath therefore <1571>

given <5414> me this <2088> [son] also <1571>: and she called

<7121> his name <8034> Simeon <8095>.

34 And she conceived <2030> again <5750>, and bare <3205> a son

<1121>; and said <0559>, Now this time <6471> will my husband

<0376> be joined <3867> unto me, because <3588> I have born

<3205> him three <7969> sons <1121>: therefore was his name

<8034> called <7121> Levi <3878>.

35 And she conceived <2030> again <5750>, and bare <3205> a son

<1121>: and she said <0559>, Now will I praise <3034> the LORD

<3068>: therefore she called <7121> his name <8034> Judah <3063>;

and left <5975> bearing <3205>.

Genesis 30

1. And when Rachel <7354> saw <7200> that she bare <3205> Jacob

<3290> no <0369> children, Rachel <7354> envied <7065> her

sister <0269>; and said <0559> unto Jacob <3290>, Give <3051> me

children <1121>, or else <0369> I die <4191>.

2 And Jacob's <3290> anger <0639> was kindled <2734> against

Rachel <7354>: and he said <0559>, [Am] I in God's <0430> stead

<8478>, who <0834> hath withheld <4513> from thee the fruit

<6529> of the womb <0990>?

3 And she said <0559>, Behold <2009> my maid <0519> Bilhah

<1090>, go <0935> in unto her; and she shall bear <3205> upon my

knees <1290>, that I may also <1571> have children <1129> by her.

4 And she gave <5414> him Bilhah <1090> her handmaid <8198> to

wife <0802>: and Jacob <3290> went <0935> in unto her.

5 And Bilhah <1090> conceived <2030>, and bare <3205> Jacob

<3290> a son <1121>.

6 And Rachel <7354> said <0559>, God <0430> hath judged <1777>

me, and hath also <1571> heard <8085> my voice <6963>, and hath

given <5414> me a son <1121>: therefore called <7121> she his

name <8034> Dan <1835>.

7 And Bilhah <1090> Rachel's <7354> maid <8198> conceived

<2030> again <5750>, and bare <3205> Jacob <3290> a second

<8145> son <1121>.

8 And Rachel <7354> said <0559>, With great <0430> wrestlings

<5319> have I wrestled <6617> with my sister <0269>, and I have

prevailed <3201>: and she called <7121> his name <8034> Naphtali

<5321>.

9 When Leah <3812> saw <7200> that she had left <5975> bearing

<3205>, she took <3947> Zilpah <2153> her maid <8198>, and gave

<5414> her Jacob <3290> to wife <0802>.

10 And Zilpah <2153> Leah's <3812> maid <8198> bare <3205>

Jacob <3290> a son <1121>.

11 And Leah <3812> said <0559>, A troop <1409> cometh <0935>:

and she called <7121> his name <8034> Gad <1410>.

12 And Zilpah <2153> Leah's <3812> maid <8198> bare <3205>

Jacob <3290> a second <8145> son <1121>.

13 And Leah <3812> said <0559>, Happy <0837> am I, for the

daughters <1363> will call <0833> me blessed <0833>: and she

called <7121> his name <8034> Asher <0836>.

14. And Reuben <7205> went <3212> in the days <3117> of wheat

<2406> harvest <7105>, and found <4672> mandrakes <1736> in the

field <7704>, and brought <0935> them unto his mother <0517>

Leah <3812>. Then Rachel <7354> said <0559> to Leah <3812>, Give

<5414> me, I pray <4994> thee, of thy son's <1121> mandrakes

<1736>.

15 And she said <0559> unto her, [Is it] a small <4592> matter

that thou hast taken <3947> my husband <0376>? and wouldest thou

take <3947> away my son's <1121> mandrakes <1736> also <1571>?

And Rachel <7354> said <0559>, Therefore <3651> he shall lie

<7901> with thee to night <3915> for thy son's <1121> mandrakes

<1736>.

16 And Jacob <3290> came <0935> out of the field <7704> in the

evening <6153>, and Leah <3812> went <3318> out to meet <7125>

him, and said <0559>, Thou must come <0935> in unto me; for

surely I have hired <7936> thee with my son's <1121> mandrakes

<1736>. And he lay <7901> with her that night <3915>.

17 And God <0430> hearkened <8085> unto Leah <3812>, and she

conceived <2030>, and bare <3205> Jacob <3290> the fifth <2549>

son <1121>.

18 And Leah <3812> said <0559>, God <0430> hath given <5414> me

my hire <7937>, because <0834> I have given <5414> my maiden

<8198> to my husband <0376>: and she called <7121> his name

<8034> Issachar <3485>.

19 And Leah <3812> conceived <2030> again <5750>, and bare

<3205> Jacob <3290> the sixth <8345> son <1121>.

20 And Leah <3812> said <0559>, God <0430> hath endued <2064>

me [with] a good <2896> dowry <2065>; now <6471> will my husband

<0376> dwell <2082> with me, because <3588> I have born <3205>

him six <8337> sons <1121>: and she called <7121> his name

<8034> Zebulun <2074>.

21 And afterwards <0310> she bare <3205> a daughter <1323>, and

called <7121> her name <8034> Dinah <1783>.

22 And God <0430> remembered <2142> Rachel <7354>, and God

<0430> hearkened <8085> to her, and opened <6605> her womb

<7358>.

23 And she conceived <2030>, and bare <3205> a son <1121>; and

said <0559>, God <0430> hath taken <0622> away my reproach

<2781>:

24 And she called <7121> his name <8034> Joseph <3130>; and

said <0559>, The LORD <3068> shall add <3254> to me another

<0312> son <1121>.

25. And it came <1961> to pass, when <0834> Rachel <7354> had

born <3205> Joseph <3130>, that Jacob <3290> said <0559> unto

Laban <3837>, Send <7971> me away, that I may go <3212> unto

mine own place <4725>, and to my country <0776>.

26 Give <5414> [me] my wives <0802> and my children <3206>, for

whom <0834> I have served <5647> thee, and let me go <3212>: for

thou knowest <3045> my service <5656> which <0834> I have done

<5647> thee.

27 And Laban <3837> said <0559> unto him, I pray <4994> thee,

if <0518> I have found <4672> favour <2580> in thine eyes <5869>,

[tarry: for] I have learned <5172> by experience <5172> that

the LORD <3068> hath blessed <1288> me for thy sake <1558>.

28 And he said <0559>, Appoint <5344> me thy wages <7939>, and

I will give <5414> [it].

29 And he said <0559> unto him, Thou knowest <3045> how I have

served <5647> thee, and how thy cattle <4735> was with me.

30 For [it was] little <4592> which <0834> thou hadst before

<6440> I [came], and it is [now] increased <6555> unto a

multitude <7230>; and the LORD <3068> hath blessed <1288> thee

since my coming <7272>: and now <6258> when <4970> shall I

provide <6213> for mine own house <1004> also <1571>?

31 And he said <0559>, What <4100> shall I give <5414> thee?

And Jacob <3290> said <0559>, Thou shalt not give <5414> me any

<3972> thing <1697>: if <0518> thou wilt do <6213> this <2088>

thing <1697> for me, I will again <7725> feed <7462> [and] keep

<8104> thy flock <6629>:

32 I will pass <5674> through all <3605> thy flock <6629> to

day <3117>, removing <5493> from thence <8033> all <3605> the

speckled <5348> and spotted <2921> cattle <7716>, and all <3605>

the brown <2345> cattle <7716> among the sheep <3775>, and the

spotted <2921> and speckled <5348> among the goats <5795>: and

[of such] shall be my hire <7937>.

33 So shall my righteousness <6666> answer <6030> for me in

time <3117> to come <4279>, when <3588> it shall come <0935> for

my hire <7937> before thy face <6440>: every <3605> one <3605>

that [is] not speckled <5348> and spotted <2921> among the goats

<5795>, and brown <2345> among the sheep <3775>, that shall be

counted stolen <1589> with me.

34 And Laban <3837> said <0559>, Behold <2005>, I would <3863>

it might be according to thy word <1697>.

35 And he removed <5493> that day <3117> the he goats <8495>

that were ringstraked <6124> and spotted <2921>, and all <3605>

the she goats <5795> that were speckled <5348> and spotted

<2921>, [and] every <3605> one that had [some] white <3836> in

it, and all <3605> the brown <2345> among the sheep <3775>, and

gave <5414> [them] into the hand <3027> of his sons <1121>.

36 And he set <7760> three <7969> days <3117>' journey <1870>

betwixt <0996> himself and Jacob <3290>: and Jacob <3290> fed

<7462> the rest <3498> of Laban's <3837> flocks <6629>.

37. And Jacob <3290> took <3947> him rods <4731> of green

<3892> poplar <3839>, and of the hazel <3869> and chesnut <6196>

tree; and pilled <6478> white <3836> strakes <6479> in them, and

made the white <3836> appear <4286> which <0834> [was] in the

rods <4731>.

38 And he set <3322> the rods <4731> which <0834> he had pilled

<6478> before <5227> the flocks <6629> in the gutters <7298> in

the watering <4325> troughs <8268> when <3588> the flocks <6629>

came <0935> to drink <8354>, that they should conceive <3179>

when they came <0935> to drink <8354>.

39 And the flocks <6629> conceived <3179> before <0413> the

rods <4731>, and brought <3205> forth <3209> cattle <6629>

ringstraked <6124>, speckled <5348>, and spotted <2921>.

40 And Jacob <3290> did separate <6504> the lambs <3775>, and

set <5414> the faces <6440> of the flocks <6629> toward <0413>

the ringstraked <6124>, and all <3605> the brown <2345> in the

flock <6629> of Laban <3837>; and he put <7896> his own flocks

<5739> by themselves <0905>, and put <7896> them not unto

Laban's <3837> cattle <6629>.

41 And it came <1961> to pass, whensoever <3605> the stronger

<7194> cattle <6629> did conceive <3179>, that Jacob <3290> laid

<7760> the rods <4731> before the eyes <5869> of the cattle

<6629> in the gutters <7298>, that they might conceive <3179>

among the rods <4731>.

42 But when the cattle <6629> were feeble <5848>, he put <7760>

[them] not in: so the feebler <5848> were Laban's <3837>, and

the stronger <7194> Jacob's <3290>.

43 And the man <0376> increased <6555> exceedingly <3966>, and

had <1961> much <7227> cattle <6629>, and maidservants <8198>,

and menservants <5650>, and camels <1581>, and asses <2543>.

Genesis 31

1. And he heard <8085> the words <1697> of Laban's <3837> sons

<1121>, saying <0559>, Jacob <3290> hath taken <3947> away all

<3605> that [was] our father's <1>; and of [that] which <0834>

[was] our father's <1> hath he gotten <4069> all <3605> this

<2088> glory <3519>.

2 And Jacob <3290> beheld <7200> the countenance <6440> of

Laban <3837>, and, behold <2009>, it [was] not toward him as

before.

3 And the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto Jacob <3290>, Return

<7725> unto the land <0776> of thy fathers <1>, and to thy

kindred <4138>; and I will be with thee.

4 And Jacob <3290> sent <7971> and called <7121> Rachel <7354>

and Leah <3812> to the field <7704> unto his flock <6629>,

5 And said <0559> unto them, I see <7200> your father's <1>

countenance <6440>, that it [is] not toward me as before; but

the God <0430> of my father <1> hath been <1961> with me.

6 And ye know <3045> that with all <3605> my power <3581> I

have served <5647> your father <1>.

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

<2498> my wages <4909> ten <6235> times <4489>; but God <0430>

suffered <5414> him not to hurt <7489> me.

8 If <0518> he said <0559> thus <3541>, The speckled <5348>

shall be thy wages <7939>; then all <3605> the cattle <6629>

bare <3205> speckled <5348>: and if <0518> he said <0559> thus

<3541>, The ringstraked <6124> shall be thy hire <7937>; then

bare <3205> all <3605> the cattle <6629> ringstraked <6124>.

9 Thus God <0430> hath taken <5337> away the cattle <4735> of

your father <1>, and given <5414> [them] to me.

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

cattle <6629> conceived <3179>, that I lifted <5375> up mine

eyes <5869>, and saw <7200> in a dream <2472>, and, behold

<2009>, the rams <6260> which leaped <5927> upon the cattle

<6629> [were] ringstraked <6124>, speckled <5348>, and grisled

<1261>.

11 And the angel <4397> of God <0430> spake <0559> unto me in a

dream <2472>, [saying], Jacob <3290>: And I said <0559>, Here

<2009> [am] I.

12 And he said <0559>, Lift <5375> up now <4994> thine eyes

<5869>, and see <7200>, all <3605> the rams <6260> which leap

<5927> upon the cattle <6629> [are] ringstraked <6124>, speckled

<5348>, and grisled <1261>: for I have seen <7200> all <3605>

that Laban <3837> doeth <6213> unto thee.

13 I [am] the God <0410> of Bethel <1008>, where <0834> thou

anointedst <4886> the pillar <4676>, [and] where <0834> thou

vowedst <5087> a vow <5088> unto me: now <6258> arise <6965>,

get <3318> thee out from this <2063> land <0776>, and return

<7725> unto the land <0776> of thy kindred <4138>.

14 And Rachel <7354> and Leah <3812> answered <6030> and said

<0559> unto him, [Is there] yet <5750> any portion <2506> or

inheritance <5159> for us in our father's <1> house <1004>?

15 Are we not counted <2803> of him strangers <5237>? for he

hath sold <4376> us, and hath quite devoured <0398> also <1571>

our money <3701>.

16 For all <3605> the riches <6239> which <0834> God <0430>

hath taken <5337> from our father <1>, that [is] ours, and our

children's <1121>: now <6258> then, whatsoever God <0430> hath

said <0559> unto thee, do <6213>.

17. Then Jacob <3290> rose <6965> up, and set <5375> his sons

<1121> and his wives <0802> upon camels <1581>;

18 And he carried <5090> away all <3605> his cattle <4735>, and

all <3605> his goods <7399> which <0834> he had gotten <7408>,

the cattle <4735> of his getting <7075>, which <0834> he had

gotten <7408> in Padanaram <6307>, for to go <0935> to Isaac

<3327> his father <1> in the land <0776> of Canaan <3667>.

19 And Laban <3837> went <1980> to shear <1494> his sheep

<6629>: and Rachel <7354> had stolen <1589> the images <8655>

that [were] her father's <1>.

20 And Jacob <3290> stole <1589> away unawares to Laban <3837>

the Syrian <0761>, in that he told <5046> him not that he fled

<1272>.

21 So he fled <1272> with all <3605> that he had; and he rose

<6965> up, and passed <5674> over <5674> the river <5104>, and

set <7760> his face <6440> [toward] the mount <2022> Gilead

<1568>.

22 And it was told <5046> Laban <3837> on the third <7992> day

<3117> that Jacob <3290> was fled <1272>.

23 And he took <3947> his brethren <0251> with him, and pursued

<7291> after <0310> him seven <7651> days <3117>' journey <1870>;

and they overtook <1692> him in the mount <2022> Gilead <1568>.

24 And God <0430> came <0935> to Laban <3837> the Syrian <0761>

in a dream <2472> by night <3915>, and said <0559> unto him,

Take heed <8104> that thou speak <1696> not to Jacob <3290>

either good <2896> or <5704> bad <7451>.

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

<3290> had pitched <8628> his tent <0168> in the mount <2022>:

and Laban <3837> with his brethren <0251> pitched <8628> in the

mount <2022> of Gilead <1568>.

26 And Laban <3837> said <0559> to Jacob <3290>, What <4100>

hast thou done <6213>, that thou hast stolen <1589> away

unawares to me, and carried <5090> away my daughters <1363>, as

captives <7617> [taken] with the sword <2719>?

27 Wherefore <4100> didst thou flee <1272> away secretly <2244>,

and steal <1589> away from me; and didst not tell <5046> me,

that I might have sent <7971> thee away with mirth <8057>, and

with songs <7892>, with tabret <8596>, and with harp <3658>?

28 And hast not suffered <5203> me to kiss <5401> my sons

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

foolishly <5528> in [so] doing <6213>.

29 It is in the power <0410> of my hand <3027> to do <6213> you

hurt <7451>: but the God <0430> of your father <1> spake <0559>

unto me yesternight <0570>, saying <0559>, Take thou heed <8104>

that thou speak <1696> not to Jacob <3290> either good <2896> or

<5704> bad <7451>.

30 And now <6258>, [though] thou wouldest needs be gone <1980>,

because <3588> thou sore longedst <3700> after thy father's <1>

house <1004>, [yet] wherefore <4100> hast thou stolen <1589> my

gods <0430>?

31 And Jacob <3290> answered <6030> and said <0559> to Laban

<3837>, Because <3588> I was afraid <3372>: for I said <0559>,

Peradventure <6435> thou wouldest take <1497> by force <1497>

thy daughters <1363> from me.

32 With whomsoever <0834> thou findest <4672> thy gods <0430>,

let him not live <2421>: before <5048> our brethren <0251>

discern <5234> thou what <4100> [is] thine with me, and take

<3947> [it] to thee. For Jacob <3290> knew <3045> not that

Rachel <7354> had stolen <1589> them.

33 And Laban <3837> went <0935> into Jacob's <3290> tent <0168>,

and into Leah's <3812> tent <0168>, and into the two <8147>

maidservants <0519>' tents <0168>; but he found <4672> [them]

not. Then went <3318> he out of Leah's <3812> tent <0168>, and

entered <0935> into Rachel's <7354> tent <0168>.

34 Now Rachel <7354> had taken <3947> the images <8655>, and

put <7760> them in the camel's <1581> furniture <3733>, and sat

<3427> upon them. And Laban <3837> searched <4959> all <3605>

the tent <0168>, but found <4672> [them] not.

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

<2734> my lord <0113> that I cannot rise <6965> up before <6440>

thee; for the custom <1870> of women <0802> [is] upon me. And he

searched <2664>, but found <4672> not the images <8655>.

36. And Jacob <3290> was wroth <2734>, and chode <7378> with

Laban <3837>: and Jacob <3290> answered <6030> and said <0559>

to Laban <3837>, What <4100> [is] my trespass <6588>? what

<4100> [is] my sin <2403>, that thou hast so hotly <1814>

pursued <1814> after <0310> me?

37 Whereas <3588> thou hast searched <4959> all <3605> my stuff

<3627>, what <4100> hast thou found <4672> of all <3605> thy

household <1004> stuff <3627>? set <7760> [it] here <3541>

before <5048> my brethren <0251> and thy brethren <0251>, that

they may judge <3198> betwixt <0996> us both <8147>.

38 This <2088> twenty <6242> years <8141> [have] I [been] with

thee; thy ewes <7353> and thy she goats <5795> have not cast

<7921> their young, and the rams <0352> of thy flock <6629> have

I not eaten <0398>.

39 That which was torn <2966> [of beasts <2966>] I brought

<0935> not unto thee; I bare <2308> the loss <2398> of it; of my

hand <3027> didst thou require <1245> it, [whether] stolen

<1589> by day <3117>, or stolen <1589> by night <3915>.

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

<0398> me, and the frost <7140> by night <3915>; and my sleep

<8142> departed <5074> from mine eyes <5869>.

41 Thus <2088> have I been twenty <6242> years <8141> in thy

house <1004>; I served <5647> thee fourteen years <8141> for thy

two <8147> daughters <1363>, and six <8337> years <8141> for thy

cattle <6629>: and thou hast changed <2498> my wages <4909> ten

<6235> times <4489>.

42 Except <3884> the God <0430> of my father <1>, the God

<0430> of Abraham <85>, and the fear <6343> of Isaac <3327>, had

been <1961> with me, surely <3588> thou hadst sent <7971> me

away now <6258> empty <7387>. God <0430> hath seen <7200> mine

affliction <6040> and the labour <3018> of my hands <3709>, and

rebuked <3198> [thee] yesternight <0570>.

43. And Laban <3837> answered <6030> and said <0559> unto Jacob

<3290>, [These] daughters <1363> [are] my daughters <1363>, and

[these] children <1121> [are] my children <1121>, and [these]

cattle <6629> [are] my cattle <6629>, and all <3605> that thou

seest <7200> [is] mine: and what <4100> can I do <6213> this day

<3117> unto these my daughters <1363>, or <0176> unto their

children <1121> which <0834> they have born <3205>?

44 Now <6258> therefore come <3212> thou, let us make <3772> a

covenant <1285>, I and thou; and let it be for a witness <5707>

between <0996> me and thee.

45 And Jacob <3290> took <3947> a stone <68>, and set <7311> it

up [for] a pillar <4676>.

46 And Jacob <3290> said <0559> unto his brethren <0251>,

Gather <3950> stones <68>; and they took <3947> stones <68>, and

made <6213> an heap <1530>: and they did eat <0398> there <8033>

upon the heap <1530>.

47 And Laban <3837> called <7121> it Jegarsahadutha <3026>: but

Jacob <3290> called <7121> it Galeed <1567>.

48 And Laban <3837> said <0559>, This <2088> heap <1530> [is] a

witness <5707> between <0996> me and thee this day <3117>.

Therefore was the name <8034> of it called <7121> Galeed <1567>;

49 And Mizpah <4709>; for he said <0559>, The LORD <3068> watch

<6822> between <0996> me and thee, when <3588> we are absent

<5641> one <0376> from another <7453>.

50 If <0518> thou shalt afflict <6031> my daughters <1363>, or

if <0518> thou shalt take <3947> [other] wives <0802> beside

<5921> my daughters <1363>, no <3808> man <0376> [is] with us;

see <7200>, God <0430> [is] witness <5707> betwixt <0996> me and

thee.

51 And Laban <3837> said <0559> to Jacob <3290>, Behold <2009>

this <2088> heap <1530>, and behold <2009> [this] pillar <4676>,

which <0834> I have cast <3384> betwixt <0996> me and thee;

52 This <2088> heap <1530> [be] witness <5707>, and [this

<2088>] pillar <4676> [be] witness <5711>, that I will not pass

<5674> over <5674> this <2088> heap <1530> to thee, and that

thou shalt not pass <5674> over <5674> this <2088> heap <1530>

and this <2063> pillar <4676> unto me, for harm <7451>.

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

<5152>, the God <0430> of their father <1>, judge <8199> betwixt

<0996> us. And Jacob <3290> sware <7650> by the fear <6343> of

his father <1> Isaac <3327>.

54 Then Jacob <3290> offered <2076> sacrifice <2077> upon the

mount <2022>, and called <7121> his brethren <0251> to eat

<0398> bread <3899>: and they did eat <0398> bread <3899>, and

tarried <3885> all <3885> night in the mount <2022>.

55 And early <7925> in the morning <1242> Laban <3837> rose

<7925> up, and kissed <5401> his sons <1121> and his daughters

<1363>, and blessed <1288> them: and Laban <3837> departed

<3212>, and returned <7725> unto his place <4725>.

Genesis 32

1. And Jacob <3290> went <1980> on his way <1870>, and the

angels <4397> of God <0430> met <6293> him.

2 And when <0834> Jacob <3290> saw <7200> them, he said <0559>,

This <2088> [is] God's <0430> host <4264>: and he called <7121>

the name <8034> of that place <4725> Mahanaim <4266>.

3. And Jacob <3290> sent <7971> messengers <4397> before <6440>

him to Esau <6215> his brother <0251> unto the land <0776> of

Seir <8165>, the country <7704> of Edom <0123>.

4 And he commanded <6680> them, saying <0559>, Thus <3541>

shall ye speak <0559> unto my lord <0113> Esau <6215>; Thy

servant <5650> Jacob <3290> saith <0559> thus <3541>, I have

sojourned <1481> with Laban <3837>, and stayed <0309> there

until <5704> now <6258>:

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

<6629>, and menservants <5650>, and womenservants <8198>: and I

have <1961> sent <7971> to tell <5046> my lord <0113>, that I

may find <4672> grace <2580> in thy sight <5869>.

6 And the messengers <4397> returned <7725> to Jacob <3290>,

saying <0559>, We came <0935> to thy brother <0251> Esau <6215>,

and also <1571> he cometh <1980> to meet <7125> thee, and four

<0702> hundred <3967> men <0376> with him.

7 Then Jacob <3290> was greatly <3966> afraid <3372> and

distressed <3334>: and he divided <2673> the people <5971> that

[was] with him, and the flocks <6629>, and herds <1241>, and the

camels <1581>, into two <8147> bands <4264>;

8 And said <0559>, If <0518> Esau <6215> come <0935> to the one

<0259> company <4264>, and smite <5221> it, then the other

company <4264> which is left <7604> shall escape <6413>.

9. And Jacob <3290> said <0559>, O God <0430> of my father <1>

Abraham <85>, and God <0430> of my father <1> Isaac <3327>, the

LORD <3068> which saidst <0559> unto me, Return <7725> unto thy

country <0776>, and to thy kindred <4138>, and I will deal well

<3190> with thee:

10 I am not worthy <6994> of the least <6994> of all <3605> the

mercies <2617>, and of all <3605> the truth <0571>, which <0834>

thou hast shewed <6213> unto thy servant <5650>; for with my

staff <4731> I passed <5674> over <5674> this <2088> Jordan

<3383>; and now <6258> I am become <1961> two <8147> bands

<4264>.

11 Deliver <5337> me, I pray <4994> thee, from the hand <3027>

of my brother <0251>, from the hand <3027> of Esau <6215>: for I

fear <3373> him, lest <6435> he will come <0935> and smite

<5221> me, [and] the mother <0517> with the children <1121>.

12 And thou saidst <0559>, I will surely do thee good <3190>,

and make <7760> thy seed <2233> as the sand <2344> of the sea

<3220>, which <0834> cannot <3808> be numbered <5608> for

multitude <7230>.

13. And he lodged <3885> there <8033> that same <1931> night

<3915>; and took <3947> of that which came <0935> to his hand

<3027> a present <4503> for Esau <6215> his brother <0251>;

14 Two hundred <3967> she goats <5795>, and twenty <6242> he

goats <8495>, two hundred <3967> ewes <7353>, and twenty <6242>

rams <0352>,

15 Thirty <7970> milch <3243> camels <1581> with their colts

<1121>, forty <0705> kine <6510>, and ten <6235> bulls <6499>,

twenty <6242> she asses <0860>, and ten <6235> foals <5895>.

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

servants <5650>, every drove <5739> by themselves <0905>; and

said <0559> unto his servants <5650>, Pass <5674> over <5674>

before <6440> me, and put <7760> a space <7305> betwixt <0996>

drove <5739> and drove <5739>.

17 And he commanded <6680> the foremost <7223>, saying <0559>,

When <3588> Esau <6215> my brother <0251> meeteth <6298> thee,

and asketh <7592> thee, saying <0559>, Whose <4310> [art] thou?

and whither <0575> goest <3212> thou? and whose <4310> [are]

these <0428> before <6440> thee?

18 Then thou shalt say <0559>, [They be] thy servant <5650>

Jacob's <3290>; it [is] a present <4503> sent <7971> unto my

lord <0113> Esau <6215>: and, behold <2009>, also <1571> he [is]

behind <0310> us.

19 And so <1571> commanded <6680> he the second <8145>, and the

third <7992>, and all <3605> that followed the droves <5739>,

saying <0559>, On this <2088> manner <1697> shall ye speak

<1696> unto Esau <6215>, when ye find <4672> him.

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

servant <5650> Jacob <3290> [is] behind <0310> us. For he said

<0559>, I will appease <6440> him with the present <4503> that

goeth <1980> before <6440> me, and afterward I will see <7200>

his face <6440>; peradventure <0194> he will accept <5375> of me.

21 So went <5674> the present <4503> over <5674> before him:

and himself <1931> lodged <3885> that night <3915> in the

company <4264>.

22 And he rose <6965> up that night <3915>, and took <3947> his

two <8147> wives <0802>, and his two <8147> womenservants <8198>,

and his eleven sons <3206>, and passed <5674> over <5674> the

ford <4569> Jabbok <2999>.

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

the brook <5158>, and sent <5674> over <5674> that he had.

24. And Jacob <3290> was left <3498> alone <0905>; and there

wrestled <79> a man <0376> with him until <5704> the breaking

<5927> of the day <7837>.

25 And when he saw <7200> that he prevailed <3201> not against

him, he touched <5060> the hollow <3709> of his thigh <3409>;

and the hollow <3709> of Jacob's <3290> thigh <3409> was out of

joint <3363>, as he wrestled <79> with him.

26 And he said <0559>, Let me go <7971>, for the day <7837>

breaketh <5927>. And he said <0559>, I will not let thee go

<7971>, except thou bless <1288> me.

27 And he said <0559> unto him, What <4100> [is] thy name

<8034>? And he said <0559>, Jacob <3290>.

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

no <3808> more <5750> Jacob <3290>, but Israel <3478>: for as a

prince hast thou power <8280> with God <0430> and with men

<0582>, and hast prevailed <3201>.

29 And Jacob <3290> asked <7592> [him], and said <0559>, Tell

<5046> [me], I pray <4994> thee, thy name <8034>. And he said

<0559>, Wherefore <4100> [is] it [that] thou dost ask <7592>

after my name <8034>? And he blessed <1288> him there <8033>.

30 And Jacob <3290> called <7121> the name <8034> of the place

<4725> Peniel <6439>: for I have seen <7200> God <0430> face

<6440> to face <6440>, and my life <5315> is preserved <5337>.

31 And as he passed <5674> over <5674> Penuel <6439> the sun

<8121> rose <2224> upon him, and he halted <6761> upon his thigh

<3409>.

32 Therefore the children <1121> of Israel <3478> eat <0398>

not [of] the sinew <1517> which shrank <5384>, which <0834> [is]

upon the hollow <3709> of the thigh <3409>, unto this <2088> day

<3117>: because <3588> he touched <5060> the hollow <3709> of

Jacob's <3290> thigh <3409> in the sinew <1517> that shrank

<5384>.

Genesis 33

1. And Jacob <3290> lifted <5375> up his eyes <5869>, and

looked <7200>, and, behold <2009>, Esau <6215> came <0935>, and

with him four <0702> hundred <3967> men <0376>. And he divided

<2673> the children <3206> unto Leah <3812>, and unto Rachel

<7354>, and unto the two <8147> handmaids <8198>.

2 And he put <7760> the handmaids <8198> and their children

<3206> foremost <7223>, and Leah <3812> and her children <3206>

after <0314>, and Rachel <7354> and Joseph <3130> hindermost

<0314>.

3 And he passed <5674> over <5674> before <6440> them, and

bowed <7812> himself to the ground <0776> seven <7651> times

<6471>, until <5704> he came <5066> near <5066> to his brother

<0251>.

4 And Esau <6215> ran <7323> to meet <7125> him, and embraced

<2263> him, and fell <5307> on <5921> his neck <6677>, and

kissed <5401> him: and they wept <1058>.

5. And he lifted <5375> up his eyes <5869>, and saw <7200> the

women <0802> and the children <3206>; and said <0559>, Who

<4310> [are] those <0428> with thee? And he said <0559>, The

children <3206> which <0834> God <0430> hath graciously <2603>

given <2603> thy servant <5650>.

6 Then the handmaidens <8198> came <5066> near <5066>, they and

their children <3206>, and they bowed <7812> themselves.

7 And Leah <3812> also <1571> with her children <3206> came

<5066> near <5066>, and bowed <7812> themselves: and after

<0310> came <5066> Joseph <3130> near <5066> and Rachel <7354>,

and they bowed <7812> themselves.

8 And he said <0559>, What <4310> [meanest] thou by all <3605>

this <2088> drove <4264> which <0834> I met <6298>? And he said

<0559>, [These are] to find <4672> grace <2580> in the sight

<5869> of my lord <0113>.

9 And Esau <6215> said <0559>, I have <3426> enough <7227>, my

brother <0251>; keep <1961> that thou hast unto thyself.

10 And Jacob <3290> said <0559>, Nay <0408>, I pray <4994> thee,

if <0518> now <4994> I have found <4672> grace <2580> in thy

sight <5869>, then receive <3947> my present <4503> at my hand

<3027>: for therefore I have seen <7200> thy face <6440>, as

though I had seen <7200> the face <6440> of God <0430>, and thou

wast pleased <7521> with me.

11 Take <3947>, I pray <4994> thee, my blessing <1293> that is

brought <0935> to thee; because <3588> God <0430> hath dealt

graciously <2603> with me, and because <3588> I have <3426>

enough <3605>. And he urged <6484> him, and he took <3947> [it].

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

us go <3212>, and I will go <3212> before <5048> thee.

13 And he said <0559> unto him, My lord <0113> knoweth <3045>

that the children <3206> [are] tender <7390>, and the flocks

<6629> and herds <1241> with young <5763> [are] with me: and if

<0518> men should overdrive <1849> them one <0259> day <3117>,

all <3605> the flock <6629> will die <4191>.

14 Let my lord <0113>, I pray <4994> thee, pass <5674> over

<5674> before <6440> his servant <5650>: and I will lead <5095>

on softly <0328>, according <7272> as the cattle <4399> that

goeth before <6440> me and the children <3206> be able <7272> to

endure <7272>, until <5704> I come <0935> unto my lord <0113>

unto Seir <8165>.

15 And Esau <6215> said <0559>, Let me now <4994> leave <3322>

with thee [some] of the folk <5971> that [are] with me. And he

said <0559>, What <4100> needeth it? let me find <4672> grace

<2580> in the sight <5869> of my lord <0113>.

16. So Esau <6215> returned <7725> that day <3117> on his way

<1870> unto Seir <8165>.

17 And Jacob <3290> journeyed <5265> to Succoth <5523>, and

built <1129> him an house <1004>, and made <6213> booths <5521>

for his cattle <4735>: therefore the name <8034> of the place

<4725> is called <7121> Succoth <5523>.

18 And Jacob <3290> came <0935> to Shalem <8003>, a city <5892>

of Shechem <7927>, which <0834> [is] in the land <0776> of

Canaan <3667>, when he came <0935> from Padanaram <6307>; and

pitched <2583> his tent before the city <5892>.

19 And he bought <7069> a parcel <2513> of a field <7704>,

where <0834> he had spread <5186> his tent <0168>, at the hand

<3027> of the children <1121> of Hamor <2544>, Shechem's <7927>

father <1>, for an hundred <3967> pieces of money <7192>.

20 And he erected <5324> there <8033> an altar <4196>, and

called <7121> it Eleloheisrael <0415>.

Genesis 34

1. And Dinah <1783> the daughter <1323> of Leah <3812>, which

<0834> she bare <3205> unto Jacob <3290>, went <3318> out to see

<7200> the daughters <1363> of the land <0776>.

2 And when Shechem <7927> the son <1121> of Hamor <2544> the

Hivite <2340>, prince <5387> of the country <0776>, saw <7200>

her, he took <3947> her, and lay <7901> with her, and defiled

<6031> her.

3 And his soul <5315> clave <1692> unto Dinah <1783> the

daughter <1323> of Jacob <3290>, and he loved <0157> the damsel

<5291>, and spake <1696> kindly unto the damsel <5291>.

4 And Shechem <7927> spake <0559> unto his father <1> Hamor

<2544>, saying <0559>, Get <3947> me this <2063> damsel <3207>

to wife <0802>.

5 And Jacob <3290> heard <8085> that he had defiled <2930>

Dinah <1783> his daughter <1323>: now his sons <1121> were with

his cattle <4735> in the field <7704>: and Jacob <3290> held

<2790> his peace <2790> until <5704> they were come <0935>.

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

<3318> out unto Jacob <3290> to commune <1696> with him.

7 And the sons <1121> of Jacob <3290> came <0935> out of the

field <7704> when they heard <8085> [it]: and the men <0582>

were grieved <6087>, and they were very <3966> wroth <2734>,

because <3588> he had wrought <6213> folly <5039> in Israel

<3478> in lying <7901> with Jacob's <3290> daughter <1323>;

which <3651> thing <3651> ought not to be done <6213>.

8 And Hamor <2544> communed <1696> with them, saying <0559>,

The soul <5315> of my son <1121> Shechem <7927> longeth <2836>

for your daughter <1323>: I pray <4994> you give <5414> her him

to wife <0802>.

9 And make ye marriages <2859> with us, [and] give <5414> your

daughters <1363> unto us, and take <3947> our daughters <1363>

unto you.

10 And ye shall dwell <3427> with us: and the land <0776> shall

be before <6440> you; dwell <3427> and trade <5503> ye therein,

and get you possessions <0270> therein.

11 And Shechem <7927> said <0559> unto her father <1> and unto

her brethren <0251>, Let me find <4672> grace <2580> in your

eyes <5869>, and what <0834> ye shall say <0559> unto me I will

give <5414>.

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

will give <5414> according as ye shall say <0559> unto me: but

give <5414> me the damsel <5291> to wife <0802>.

13 And the sons <1121> of Jacob <3290> answered <6030> Shechem

<7927> and Hamor <2544> his father <1> deceitfully <4820>, and

said <1696>, because <0834> he had defiled <2930> Dinah <1783>

their sister <0269>:

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

<2088> thing <1697>, to give <5414> our sister <0269> to one

<0376> that is uncircumcised <6190>; for that [were] a reproach

<2781> unto us:

15 But in this <2063> will we consent <0225> unto you: If

<0518> ye will be as we [be], that every <3605> male <2145> of

you be circumcised <4135>;

16 Then will we give <5414> our daughters <1363> unto you, and

we will take <3947> your daughters <1363> to us, and we will

dwell <3427> with you, and we will become <1961> one <0259>

people <5971>.

17 But if <0518> ye will not hearken <8085> unto us, to be

circumcised <4135>; then will we take <3947> our daughter <1323>,

and we will be gone <1980>.

18. And their words <1697> pleased Hamor <2544>, and Shechem

<7927> Hamor's <2544> son <1121>.

19 And the young <5288> man deferred <0309> not to do <6213>

the thing <1697>, because <3588> he had delight <2654> in

Jacob's <3290> daughter <1323>: and he [was] more <3513>

honourable <3513> than all <3605> the house <1004> of his father

<1>.

20 And Hamor <2544> and Shechem <7927> his son <1121> came

<0935> unto the gate <8179> of their city <5892>, and communed

<1696> with the men <0582> of their city <5892>, saying <0559>,

21 These <0428> men <0582> [are] peaceable <8003> with us;

therefore let them dwell <3427> in the land <0776>, and trade

<5503> therein; for the land <0776>, behold <2009>, [it is]

large <7342> enough <3027> for them; let us take <3947> their

daughters <1363> to us for wives <0802>, and let us give <5414>

them our daughters <1363>.

22 Only <0389> herein <2063> will the men <0582> consent <0225>

unto us for to dwell <3427> with us, to be one <0259> people

<5971>, if <0518> every <3605> male <2145> among us be

circumcised <4135>, as they [are] circumcised <4135>.

23 [Shall] not their cattle <4735> and their substance <7075>

and every <3605> beast <0929> of theirs [be] ours? only <0389>

let us consent <0225> unto them, and they will dwell <3427> with

us.

24 And unto Hamor <2544> and unto Shechem <7927> his son <1121>

hearkened <8085> all <3605> that went <3318> out of the gate

<8179> of his city <5892>; and every <3605> male <2145> was

circumcised <4135>, all <3605> that went <3318> out of the gate

<8179> of his city <5892>.

25. And it came <1961> to pass on the third <7992> day <3117>,

when they were sore <3510>, that two <8147> of the sons <1121>

of Jacob <3290>, Simeon <8095> and Levi <3878>, Dinah's <1783>

brethren <0251>, took <3947> each man <0376> his sword <2719>,

and came <0935> upon the city <5892> boldly <0983>, and slew

<2026> all <3605> the males <2145>.

26 And they slew <2026> Hamor <2544> and Shechem <7927> his son

<1121> with the edge <6310> of the sword <2719>, and took <3947>

Dinah <1783> out of Shechem's <7927> house <1004>, and went

<3318> out.

27 The sons <1121> of Jacob <3290> came <0935> upon the slain

<2491>, and spoiled <0962> the city <5892>, because <0834> they

had defiled <2930> their sister <0269>.

28 They took <3947> their sheep <6629>, and their oxen <1241>,

and their asses <2543>, and that which <0834> [was] in the city

<5892>, and that which <0834> [was] in the field <7704>,

29 And all <3605> their wealth <2428>, and all <3605> their

little <2945> ones, and their wives <0802> took they captive

<7617>, and spoiled <0962> even all <3605> that [was] in the

house <1004>.

30 And Jacob <3290> said <0559> to Simeon <8095> and Levi

<3878>, Ye have troubled <5916> me to make me to stink <0887>

among the inhabitants <3427> of the land <0776>, among the

Canaanites <3669> and the Perizzites <6522>: and I [being] few

<4962> in number <4557>, they shall gather <0622> themselves

together against <5921> me, and slay <5221> me; and I shall be

destroyed <8045>, I and my house <1004>.

31 And they said <0559>, Should he deal <6213> with our sister

<0269> as with an harlot <2181>?

Genesis 35

1. And God <0430> said <0559> unto Jacob <3290>, Arise <6965>,

go <5927> up to Bethel <1008>, and dwell <3427> there <8033>:

and make <6213> there <8033> an altar <4196> unto God <0410>,

that appeared <7200> unto thee when thou fleddest <1272> from

the face <6440> of Esau <6215> thy brother <0251>.

2 Then Jacob <3290> said <0559> unto his household <1004>, and

to all <3605> that [were] with him, Put <5493> away the strange

<5236> gods <0430> that [are] among <8432> you, and be clean

<2891>, and change <2498> your garments <8071>:

3 And let us arise <6965>, and go <5927> up to Bethel <1008>;

and I will make <6213> there <8033> an altar <4196> unto God

<0410>, who answered <6030> me in the day <3117> of my distress

<6869>, and was with me in the way <1870> which <0834> I went

<1980>.

4 And they gave <5414> unto Jacob <3290> all <3605> the strange

<5236> gods <0430> which <0834> [were] in their hand <3027>, and

[all their] earrings <5141> which <0834> [were] in their ears

<0241>; and Jacob <3290> hid <2934> them under <8478> the oak

<0424> which <0834> [was] by Shechem <7927>.

5 And they journeyed <5265>: and the terror <2847> of God

<0430> was upon the cities <5892> that [were] round <5439> about

them, and they did not pursue <7291> after <0310> the sons

<1121> of Jacob <3290>.

6. So Jacob <3290> came <0935> to Luz <3870>, which <0834> [is]

in the land <0776> of Canaan <3667>, that [is], Bethel <1008>,

he and all <3605> the people <5971> that [were] with him.

7 And he built <1129> there <8033> an altar <4196>, and called

<7121> the place <4725> Elbethel <0416>: because <3588> there

<8033> God <0430> appeared <1540> unto him, when he fled <1272>

from the face <6440> of his brother <0251>.

8 But Deborah <1683> Rebekah's <7259> nurse <3243> died <4191>,

and she was buried <6912> beneath <8478> Bethel <1008> under

<8478> an oak <0437>: and the name <8034> of it was called

<7121> Allonbachuth <0439>.

9 And God <0430> appeared <7200> unto Jacob <3290> again <5750>,

when he came <0935> out of Padanaram <6307>, and blessed <1288>

him.

10 And God <0430> said <0559> unto him, Thy name <8034> [is]

Jacob <3290>: thy name <8034> shall not be called <7121> any

<5750> more <5750> Jacob <3290>, but Israel <3478> shall be thy

name <8034>: and he called <7121> his name <8034> Israel <3478>.

11 And God <0430> said <0559> unto him, I [am] God <0410>

Almighty <7706>: be fruitful <6509> and multiply <7235>; a

nation <1471> and a company <6951> of nations <1471> shall be of

thee, and kings <4428> shall come <3318> out of thy loins <2504>;

12 And the land <0776> which <0834> I gave <5414> Abraham <85>

and Isaac <3327>, to thee I will give <5414> it, and to thy seed

<2233> after <0310> thee will I give <5414> the land <0776>.

13 And God <0430> went <5927> up from him in the place <4725>

where <0834> he talked <1696> with him.

14 And Jacob <3290> set <5324> up a pillar <4676> in the place

<4725> where <0834> he talked <1696> with him, [even] a pillar

<4678> of stone <68>: and he poured <5258> a drink <5262>

offering thereon <5921>, and he poured <3332> oil <8081> thereon

<5921>.

15 And Jacob <3290> called <7121> the name <8034> of the place

<4725> where <0834> God <0430> spake <1696> with him, Bethel

<1008>.

16. And they journeyed <5265> from Bethel <1008>; and there was

but a little <3530> way <0776> to come <0935> to Ephrath <0672>:

and Rachel <7354> travailed <3205>, and she had hard <7185>

labour <3205>.

17 And it came <0935> to pass, when she was in hard <7185>

labour <3205>, that the midwife <3205> said <0559> unto her,

Fear <3372> not; thou shalt have this <2088> son <1121> also

<1571>.

18 And it came <0935> to pass, as her soul <5315> was in

departing <3318>, (for she died <4191>) that she called <7121>

his name <8034> Benoni <1126>: but his father <1> called <7121>

him Benjamin <1144>.

19 And Rachel <7354> died <4191>, and was buried <6912> in the

way <1870> to Ephrath <0672>, which <1958> [is] Bethlehem <1035>.

20 And Jacob <3290> set <5324> a pillar <4676> upon her grave

<6900>: that [is] the pillar <4678> of Rachel's <7354> grave

<6900> unto this day <3117>.

21. And Israel <3478> journeyed <5265>, and spread <5186> his

tent <0168> beyond <1973> the tower <4026> of Edar <5740>.

22 And it came <1961> to pass, when Israel <3478> dwelt <7931>

in that land <0776>, that Reuben <7205> went <3212> and lay

<7901> with Bilhah <1090> his father's <1> concubine <6370>: and

Israel <3478> heard <8085> [it]. Now the sons <1121> of Jacob

<3290> were twelve:

23 The sons <1121> of Leah <3812>; Reuben <7205>, Jacob's

<3290> firstborn <1060>, and Simeon <8095>, and Levi <3878>, and

Judah <3063>, and Issachar <3485>, and Zebulun <2074>:

24 The sons <1121> of Rachel <7354>; Joseph <3130>, and

Benjamin <1144>:

25 And the sons <1121> of Bilhah <1090>, Rachel's <7354>

handmaid <8198>; Dan <1835>, and Naphtali <5321>:

26 And the sons <1121> of Zilpah <2153>, Leah's <3812> handmaid

<8198>; Gad <1410>, and Asher <0836>: these <0428> [are] the

sons <1121> of Jacob <3290>, which <0834> were born <3205> to

him in Padanaram <6307>.

27 And Jacob <3290> came <0935> unto Isaac <3327> his father

<1> unto Mamre <4471>, unto the city <7151> of Arbah <0704>,

which <0834> [is] Hebron <2275>, where <0834> Abraham <85> and

Isaac <3327> sojourned <1481>.

28 And the days <3117> of Isaac <3327> were an hundred <3967>

and fourscore <8084> years <8141>.

29 And Isaac <3327> gave up the ghost <1478>, and died <4191>,

and was gathered <0622> unto his people <5971>, [being] old

<2205> and full <7649> of days <3117>: and his sons <1121> Esau

<6215> and Jacob <3290> buried <6912> him.

Genesis 36

1. Now these <0428> [are] the generations <8435> of Esau <6215>,

who <1931> [is] Edom <0123>.

2 Esau <6215> took <3947> his wives <0802> of the daughters

<1363> of Canaan <3667>; Adah <5711> the daughter <1323> of Elon

<0356> the Hittite <2850>, and Aholibamah <0173> the daughter

<1323> of Anah <6034> the daughter <1323> of Zibeon <6649> the

Hivite <2340>;

3 And Bashemath <1315> Ishmael's <3458> daughter <1323>, sister

<0269> of Nebajoth <5032>.

4 And Adah <5711> bare <3205> to Esau <6215> Eliphaz <0464>;

and Bashemath <1315> bare <3205> Reuel <7467>;

5 And Aholibamah <0173> bare <3205> Jeush <3266>, and Jaalam

<3281>, and Korah <7141>: these <0428> [are] the sons <1121> of

Esau <6215>, which <0834> were born <3205> unto him in the land

<0776> of Canaan <3667>.

6 And Esau <6215> took <3947> his wives <0802>, and his sons

<1121>, and his daughters <1363>, and all <3605> the persons

<5315> of his house <1004>, and his cattle <4735>, and all

<3605> his beasts <0929>, and all <3605> his substance <7075>,

which <0834> he had got <7408> in the land <0776> of Canaan

<3667>; and went <3212> into <0413> the country <0776> from the

face <6440> of his brother <0251> Jacob <3290>.

7 For their riches <7399> were more <7227> than that they might

dwell <3427> together <3162>; and the land <0776> wherein they

were strangers <4033> could <3201> not bear <5375> them because

<6440> of their cattle <4735>.

8 Thus dwelt <3427> Esau <6215> in mount <2022> Seir <8165>:

Esau <6215> [is] Edom <0123>.

9. And these <0428> [are] the generations <8435> of Esau <6215>

<6215> Jeush <3266>, and Jaalam <3281>, and Korah <7141>.

15 These <0428> [were] dukes <0441> of the sons <1121> of Esau

<6034> that found <4672> the mules <3222> in the wilderness

<4057>, as he fed <7462> the asses <2543> of Zibeon <6649> his

Genesis 37

1. And Jacob <3290> dwelt <3427> in the land <0776> wherein his

father <1> was a stranger <4033>, in the land <0776> of Canaan

<3667>.

2 These <0428> [are] the generations <8435> of Jacob <3290>.

Joseph <3130>, [being] seventeen <7651> years <8141> old <1121>,

was feeding <7462> the flock <6629> with his brethren <0251>;

and the lad <5288> [was] with the sons <1121> of Bilhah <1090>,

and with the sons <1121> of Zilpah <2153>, his father's <1>

wives <0802>: and Joseph <3130> brought <0935> unto his father

<1> their evil <7451> report <1681>.

3 Now Israel <3478> loved <0157> Joseph <3130> more than all

<3605> his children <1121>, because <3588> he [was] the son

<1121> of his old <2208> age: and he made <6213> him a coat

<3801> of [many] colours <6446>.

4 And when his brethren <0251> saw <7200> that their father <1>

loved <0157> him more than all <3605> his brethren <0251>, they

hated <8130> him, and could <3201> not speak <1696> peaceably

<7965> unto him.

5. And Joseph <3130> dreamed <2492> a dream <2472>, and he told

<5046> [it] his brethren <0251>: and they hated <8130> him yet

<5750> the more <3254>.

6 And he said <0559> unto them, Hear <8085>, I pray <4994> you,

this <2088> dream <2472> which <0834> I have dreamed <2492>:

7 For, behold <2009>, we [were] binding <0481> sheaves <0485>

in the field <7704>, and, lo <2009>, my sheaf <0485> arose

<6965>, and also <1571> stood <5324> upright; and, behold <2009>,

your sheaves <0485> stood round <5437> about, and made

obeisance <7812> to my sheaf <0485>.

8 And his brethren <0251> said <0559> to him, Shalt thou indeed

reign <4427> over <5921> us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion

<4910> over us? And they hated <8130> him yet <5750> the more

<3254> for his dreams <2472>, and for his words <1697>.

9 And he dreamed <2492> yet <5750> another <0312> dream <2472>,

and told <5608> it his brethren <0251>, and said <0559>, Behold

<2009>, I have dreamed <2492> a dream <2472> more <5750>; and,

behold <2009>, the sun <8121> and the moon <3394> and the eleven

stars <3556> made obeisance <7812> to me.

10 And he told <5608> [it] to his father <1>, and to his

brethren <0251>: and his father <1> rebuked <1605> him, and said

<0559> unto him, What <4100> [is] this <2088> dream <2472> that

thou hast dreamed <2492>? Shall I and thy mother <0517> and thy

brethren <0251> indeed come <0935> to bow <7812> down <7812>

ourselves to thee to the earth <0776>?

11 And his brethren <0251> envied <7065> him; but his father

<1> observed <8104> the saying <1697>.

12. And his brethren <0251> went <3212> to feed <7462> their

father's <1> flock <6629> in Shechem <7927>.

13 And Israel <3478> said <0559> unto Joseph <3130>, Do not thy

brethren <0251> feed <7462> [the flock] in Shechem <7927>? come

<3212>, and I will send <7971> thee unto them. And he said

<0559> to him, Here <2009> [am I].

14 And he said <0559> to him, Go <3212>, I pray <4994> thee,

see <7200> whether it be well <7965> with thy brethren <0251>,

and well <7965> with the flocks <6629>; and bring <7725> me word

<1697> again <7725>. So he sent <7971> him out of the vale

<6010> of Hebron <2275>, and he came <0935> to Shechem <7927>.

15 And a certain man <0376> found <4672> him, and, behold

<2009>, [he was] wandering <8582> in the field <7704>: and the

man <0376> asked <7592> him, saying <0559>, What <4100> seekest

<1245> thou?

16 And he said <0559>, I seek <1245> my brethren <0251>: tell

<5046> me, I pray <4994> thee, where <0375> they feed <7462>

[their flocks].

17 And the man <0376> said <0559>, They are departed <5265>

hence <2088>; for I heard <8085> them say <0559>, Let us go

<3212> to Dothan <1886>. And Joseph <3130> went <3212> after

<0310> his brethren <0251>, and found <4672> them in Dothan

<1886>.

18 And when they saw <7200> him afar <7350> off, even before

<2962> he came <7126> near <7126> unto them, they conspired

<5320> against <0834> him to slay <4191> him.

19 And they said <0559> one <0376> to another <0250>, Behold

<2009>, this <1976> dreamer cometh <0935>.

20 Come <3212> now <6258> therefore, and let us slay <2026> him,

and cast <7993> him into some <0259> pit <0953>, and we will

say <0559>, Some evil <7451> beast <2416> hath devoured <0398>

him: and we shall see <7200> what <4100> will become <1961> of

his dreams <2472>.

21 And Reuben <7205> heard <8085> [it], and he delivered <5337>

him out of their hands <3027>; and said <0559>, Let us not kill

<5221> him.

22 And Reuben <7205> said <0559> unto them, Shed <8210> no

<3808> blood <1818>, [but] cast <7993> him into <0413> this

<2088> pit <0953> that [is] in the wilderness <4057>, and lay

<7971> no <3808> hand <3027> upon him; that he might rid <5337>

him out of their hands <3027>, to deliver <7725> him to his

father <1> again <7725>.

23. And it came <1961> to pass, when <0834> Joseph <3130> was

come <0935> unto his brethren <0251>, that they stript <6584>

Joseph <3130> out of his coat <3801>, [his] coat <3801> of

[many] colours <6446> that [was] on <5921> him;

24 And they took <3947> him, and cast <7993> him into a pit

<0953>: and the pit <0953> [was] empty <7386>, [there was] no

<3808> water <4325> in it.

25 And they sat <3427> down to eat <0398> bread <3899>: and

they lifted <5375> up their eyes <5869> and looked <7200>, and,

behold <2009>, a company <0736> of Ishmeelites <3459> came

<0935> from Gilead <1568> with their camels <1581> bearing

<5375> spicery <5219> and balm <6875> and myrrh <3910>, going

<1980> to carry <3381> [it] down <3381> to Egypt <4714>.

26 And Judah <3063> said <0559> unto his brethren <0251>, What

<4100> profit <1215> [is it] if <3588> we slay <2026> our

brother <0251>, and conceal <3680> his blood <1818>?

27 Come <3212>, and let us sell <4376> him to the Ishmeelites

<3459>, and let not our hand <3027> be upon him; for he [is] our

brother <0251> [and] our flesh <1320>. And his brethren <0251>

were content <8085>.

28 Then there passed <5674> by Midianites <4084> merchantmen

<5503>; and they drew <4900> and lifted <5927> up Joseph <3130>

out of the pit <0953>, and sold <4376> Joseph <3130> to the

Ishmeelites <3459> for twenty <6242> [pieces] of silver <3701>:

and they brought <0935> Joseph <3130> into Egypt <4714>.

29 And Reuben <7205> returned <7725> unto the pit <0953>; and,

behold <2009>, Joseph <3130> [was] not in the pit <0953>; and he

rent <7167> his clothes <0899>.

30 And he returned <7725> unto his brethren <0251>, and said

<0559>, The child <3206> [is] not; and I, whither <0575> shall I

go <0935>?

31. And they took <3947> Joseph's <3130> coat <3801>, and

killed <7819> a kid <8163> of the goats <5795>, and dipped

<2881> the coat <3801> in the blood <1818>;

32 And they sent <7971> the coat <3801> of [many] colours

<6446>, and they brought <0935> [it] to their father <1>; and

said <0559>, This <2063> have we found <4672>: know <5234> now

<4994> whether it [be] thy son's <1121> coat <3801> or no <3808>.

33 And he knew <5234> it, and said <0559>, [It is] my son's

<1121> coat <3801>; an evil <7451> beast <2416> hath devoured

<0398> him; Joseph <3130> is without <2963> doubt rent <2963> in

pieces.

34 And Jacob <3290> rent <7167> his clothes <8071>, and put

<7760> sackcloth <8242> upon his loins <4975>, and mourned <56>

for his son <1121> many <7227> days <3117>.

35 And all <3605> his sons <1121> and all <3605> his daughters

<1363> rose <6965> up to comfort <5162> him; but he refused

<3985> to be comforted <5162>; and he said <0559>, For I will go

<3381> down <3381> into the grave <7585> unto my son <1121>

mourning <57>. Thus his father <1> wept <1058> for him.

36 And the Midianites <4092> sold <4376> him into <0413> Egypt

<4714> unto Potiphar <6318>, an officer <5631> of Pharaoh's

<6547>, [and] captain <8269> of the guard <2876>.

Genesis 38

1. And it came <1961> to pass at that time <6256>, that Judah

<3063> went <3381> down <3381> from his brethren <0251>, and

turned <5186> in to a certain <0376> Adullamite <5726>, whose

name <8034> [was] Hirah <2437>.

2 And Judah <3063> saw <7200> there <8033> a daughter <1323> of

a certain <0376> Canaanite <3669>, whose name <8034> [was] Shuah

<7770>; and he took <3947> her, and went <0935> in unto her.

3 And she conceived <2029>, and bare <3205> a son <1121>; and

he called <7121> his name <8034> Er <6147>.

4 And she conceived <2030> again <5750>, and bare <3205> a son

<1121>; and she called <7121> his name <8034> Onan <0209>.

5 And she yet <5750> again <5750> conceived <3254>, and bare

<3205> a son <1121>; and called <7121> his name <8034> Shelah

<7956>: and he was at Chezib <3580>, when she bare <3205> him.

6 And Judah <3063> took <3947> a wife <0802> for Er <6147> his

firstborn <1060>, whose name <8034> [was] Tamar <8559>.

7 And Er <6147>, Judah's <3063> firstborn <1060>, was wicked

<7451> in the sight <5869> of the LORD <3068>; and the LORD

<3068> slew <4191> him.

8 And Judah <3063> said <0559> unto Onan <0209>, Go <0935> in

unto thy brother's <0251> wife <0802>, and marry <2992> her, and

raise <6965> up seed <2233> to thy brother <0251>.

9 And Onan <0209> knew <3045> that the seed <2233> should not

be his; and it came <1961> to pass, when <0518> he went <0935>

in unto his brother's <0251> wife <0802>, that he spilled <7843>

[it] on the ground <0776>, lest <1115> that he should give

<5414> seed <2233> to his brother <0251>.

10 And the thing which <0834> he did <6213> displeased the LORD

<3068>: wherefore he slew <4191> him also <1571>.

11 Then said <0559> Judah <3063> to Tamar <8559> his daughter

<3618> in law <3618>, Remain <3427> a widow <0490> at thy

father's <1> house <1004>, till <5704> Shelah <7956> my son

<1121> be grown <1431>: for he said <0559>, Lest <6435>

peradventure he die <4191> also <1571>, as his brethren <0251>

[did]. And Tamar <8559> went <3212> and dwelt <3427> in her

father's <1> house <1004>.

12. And in process <7235> of time <3117> the daughter <1323> of

Shuah <7770> Judah's <3063> wife <0802> died <4191>; and Judah

<3063> was comforted <5162>, and went <5927> up unto his

sheepshearers to Timnath <8553>, he and his friend <7453> Hirah

<2437> the Adullamite <5726>.

13 And it was told <5046> Tamar <8559>, saying <0559>, Behold

<2009> thy father <2524> in law <2524> goeth <5927> up to

Timnath <8553> to shear <1494> his sheep <6629>.

14 And she put <5493> her widow's <0491> garments <0899> off

<5921> from her, and covered <3680> her with a vail <6809>, and

wrapped <5968> herself, and sat <3427> in an open <5869> place

<6607>, which <0834> [is] by the way <1870> to Timnath <8553>;

for she saw <7200> that Shelah <7956> was grown <1431>, and she

was not given <5414> unto him to wife <0802>.

15 When Judah <3063> saw <7200> her, he thought <2803> her [to

be] an harlot <2181>; because <3588> she had covered <3680> her

face <6440>.

16 And he turned <5186> unto her by the way <1870>, and said

<0559>, Go <3051> to, I pray <4994> thee, let me come <0935> in

unto thee; (for he knew <3045> not that she [was] his daughter

<3618> in law <3618>.) And she said <0559>, What <4100> wilt

thou give <5414> me, that thou mayest come <0935> in unto me?

17 And he said <0559>, I will send <7971> [thee] a kid <1423>

from the flock <6629>. And she said <0559>, Wilt thou give

<5414> [me] a pledge <6162>, till <5704> thou send <7971> [it]?

18 And he said <0559>, What <0834> pledge <6162> shall I give

<5414> thee? And she said <0559>, Thy signet <2368>, and thy

bracelets <6616>, and thy staff <4294> that [is] in thine hand

<3027>. And he gave <5414> [it] her, and came <0935> in unto her,

and she conceived <2030> by him.

19 And she arose <6965>, and went <3212> away, and laid <5493>

by her vail <6809> from her, and put <3847> on the garments

<0899> of her widowhood <0491>.

20 And Judah <3063> sent <7971> the kid <1423> by the hand

<3027> of his friend <7453> the Adullamite <5726>, to receive

<3947> [his] pledge <6162> from the woman's <0802> hand <3027>:

but he found <4672> her not.

21 Then he asked <7592> the men <0582> of that place <4725>,

saying <0559>, Where <0346> [is] the harlot <6948>, that [was]

openly <5879> by the way <1870> side? And they said <0559>,

There was no <3808> harlot <6948> in this <2088> [place].

22 And he returned <7725> to Judah <3063>, and said <0559>, I

cannot <3808> find <4672> her; and also <1571> the men <0582> of

the place <4725> said <0559>, [that] there was no <3808> harlot

<6948> in this <2088> [place].

23 And Judah <3063> said <0559>, Let her take <3947> [it] to

her, lest <6435> we be shamed <0937>: behold <2009>, I sent

<7971> this <2088> kid <1423>, and thou hast not found <4672>

her.

24. And it came <1961> to pass about three <7969> months <2320>

after, that it was told <5046> Judah <3063>, saying <0559>,

Tamar <8559> thy daughter <3618> in law <3618> hath played the

harlot <2181>; and also <1571>, behold <2009>, she [is] with

child <2030> by whoredom <2183>. And Judah <3063> said <0559>,

Bring <3318> her forth <3318>, and let her be burnt <8313>.

25 When she [was] brought <3318> forth <3318>, she sent <7971>

to her father <2524> in law <2524>, saying <0559>, By the man

<0376>, whose <0834> these <0428> [are, am] I with child <2030>:

and she said <0559>, Discern <5234>, I pray <4994> thee, whose

<0834> [are] these <0428>, the signet <2858>, and bracelets

<6616>, and staff <4294>.

26 And Judah <3063> acknowledged <5234> [them], and said <0559>,

She hath been more righteous <6663> than I; because <3588> that

I gave <5414> her not to Shelah <7956> my son <1121>. And he

knew <3045> her again <3254> no <3808> more <5750>.

27 And it came <1961> to pass in the time <6256> of her travail

<3205>, that, behold <2009>, twins <8380> [were] in her womb

<0990>.

28 And it came <1961> to pass, when she travailed <3205>, that

[the one] put <5414> out [his] hand <3027>: and the midwife

<3205> took <3947> and bound <7194> upon his hand <3027> a

scarlet <8144> thread, saying <0559>, This <2088> came <3318>

out first <7223>.

29 And it came <1961> to pass, as he drew <7725> back <7725>

his hand <3027>, that, behold <2009>, his brother <0251> came

<3318> out: and she said <0559>, How <4100> hast thou broken

<6555> forth <6556>? [this] breach <6556> [be] upon thee:

therefore his name <8034> was called <7121> Pharez <6557>.

30 And afterward <0310> came <3318> out his brother <0251>,

that had the scarlet <8144> thread upon his hand <3027>: and his

name <8034> was called <7121> Zarah <2226>.

Genesis 39

1. And Joseph <3130> was brought <3381> down <3381> to Egypt

<4714>; and Potiphar <6318>, an officer <5631> of Pharaoh <6547>,

captain <8269> of the guard <2876>, an Egyptian <4713>, bought

<7069> him of the hands <3027> of the Ishmeelites <3459>, which

<0834> had brought <3381> him down <3381> thither <8033>.

2 And the LORD <3068> was with Joseph <3130>, and he was a

prosperous <6743> man <0376>; and he was in the house <1004> of

his master <0113> the Egyptian <4713>.

3 And his master <0113> saw <7200> that the LORD <3068> [was]

with him, and that the LORD <3068> made all <3605> that he did

<6213> to prosper <6743> in his hand <3027>.

4 And Joseph <3130> found <4672> grace <2580> in his sight

<5869>, and he served <8334> him: and he made him overseer

<6485> over <5921> his house <1004>, and all <3605> [that] he

had <3426> he put <5414> into his hand <3027>.

5 And it came <1961> to pass from the time [that] he had <3426>

made him overseer <6485> in his house <1004>, and over <5921>

all <3605> that he had <3426>, that the LORD <3068> blessed

<1288> the Egyptian's <4713> house <1004> for Joseph's <3130>

sake <1558>; and the blessing <1293> of the LORD <3068> was upon

all <3605> that he had <3426> in the house <1004>, and in the

field <7704>.

6 And he left <5800> all <3605> that he had in Joseph's <3130>

hand <3027>; and he knew <3045> not ought <3972> he had, save

the bread <3899> which <0834> he did eat <0398>. And Joseph

<3130> was [a] goodly [person], and well <3303> favoured <4758>.

7. And it came <1961> to pass after <0310> these <0428> things

<1697>, that his master's <0113> wife <0802> cast <5375> her

eyes <5869> upon Joseph <3130>; and she said <0559>, Lie <7901>

with me.

8 But he refused <3985>, and said <0559> unto his master's

<0113> wife <0802>, Behold <2005>, my master <0113> wotteth

<3045> not what <4100> [is] with me in the house <1004>, and he

hath committed <5414> all <3605> that he hath <3426> to my hand

<3027>;

9 [There is] none <0369> greater <1419> in this <2088> house

<1004> than I; neither <3808> hath he kept <2820> back <2820>

any <3972> thing <3972> from me but thee, because <0834> thou

[art] his wife <0802>: how <0349> then can I do <6213> this

<2063> great <1419> wickedness <7451>, and sin <2398> against

God <0430>?

10 And it came <1961> to pass, as she spake <1696> to Joseph

<3130> day <3117> by day <3117>, that he hearkened <8085> not

unto her, to lie <7901> by her, [or] to be with her.

11 And it came <1961> to pass about this <2088> time <3117>,

that [Joseph] went <0935> into the house <1004> to do <6213> his

business <4399>; and [there was] none <0369> of the men <0582>

of the house <1004> there <8033> within <1004>.

12 And she caught <8610> him by his garment <0899>, saying

<0559>, Lie <7901> with me: and he left <5800> his garment

<0899> in her hand <3027>, and fled <5127>, and got <3318> him

out.

13. And it came <1961> to pass, when she saw <7200> that he had

left <5800> his garment <0899> in her hand <3027>, and was fled

<5127> forth <2315>,

14 That she called <7121> unto the men <0582> of her house

<1004>, and spake <0559> unto them, saying <0559>, See <7200>,

he hath brought <0935> in an Hebrew <5680> unto us to mock

<6711> us; he came <0935> in unto me to lie <7901> with me, and

I cried <7121> with a loud <1419> voice <6963>:

15 And it came <1961> to pass, when he heard <8085> that I

lifted <7311> up my voice <6963> and cried <7121>, that he left

<5800> his garment <0899> with me, and fled <5127>, and got

<3318> him out.

16 And she laid <3241> up his garment <0899> by her, until

<5704> his lord <0113> came <0935> home <1004>.

17 And she spake <1696> unto him according to these <0428>

words <1697>, saying <0559>, The Hebrew <5680> servant <5650>,

which <0834> thou hast brought <0935> unto us, came <0935> in

unto me to mock <6711> me:

18 And it came <1961> to pass, as I lifted <7311> up my voice

<6963> and cried <7121>, that he left <5800> his garment <0899>

with me, and fled <5127> out.

19. And it came <1961> to pass, when his master <0113> heard

<8085> the words <1697> of his wife <0802>, which <0834> she

spake <1696> unto him, saying <0559>, After this <0428> manner

<1697> did <6213> thy servant <5650> to me; that his wrath

<0639> was kindled <2734>.

20 And Joseph's <3130> master <0113> took <3947> him, and put

<5414> him into <0413> the prison, a place <4725> where <0834>

the king's <4428> prisoners <0615> [were] bound <0631>: and he

was there <8033> in the prison.

21 But the LORD <3068> was with Joseph <3130>, and shewed

<5186> him mercy <2617>, and gave <5414> him favour <2580> in

the sight <5869> of the keeper <8269> of the prison.

22 And the keeper <8269> of the prison committed <5414> to

Joseph's <3130> hand <3027> all <3605> the prisoners <0615> that

[were] in the prison; and whatsoever they did <6213> there

<8033>, he was the doer <6218> [of it].

23 The keeper <8269> of the prison looked <7200> not to any

<3972> thing <3972> [that was] under his hand <3027>; because

<0834> the LORD <3068> was with him, and [that] which <0834> he

did <6213>, the LORD <3068> made [it] to prosper <6743>.

Genesis 40

1. And it came <1961> to pass after <0310> these <0428> things

<1697>, [that] the butler <4945> of the king <4428> of Egypt

<4714> and [his] baker <0644> had offended <2398> their lord

<0113> the king <4428> of Egypt <4714>.

2 And Pharaoh <6547> was wroth <7107> against <5921> two <8147>

[of] his officers <5631>, against <5921> the chief <8269> of the

butlers <4945>, and against <5921> the chief <8269> of the

bakers <0644>.

3 And he put <5414> them in ward <4929> in the house <1004> of

the captain <8269> of the guard <2876>, into <0413> the prison,

the place <4725> where <0834> Joseph <3130> [was] bound <0631>.

4 And the captain <8269> of the guard <2876> charged <6485>

Joseph <3130> with them, and he served <8334> them: and they

continued <1961> a season <3117> in ward <4929>.

5. And they dreamed <2492> a dream <2472> both <8147> of them,

each man <0376> his dream <2472> in one <0259> night <3915>,

each man <0376> according to the interpretation <6623> of his

dream <2472>, the butler <4945> and the baker <0644> of the king

<4428> of Egypt <4714>, which <0834> [were] bound <0631> in the

prison.

6 And Joseph <3130> came <0935> in unto them in the morning

<1242>, and looked <7200> upon them, and, behold <2009>, they

[were] sad <2196>.

7 And he asked <7592> Pharaoh's <6547> officers <5631> that

[were] with him in the ward <4929> of his lord's <0113> house

<1004>, saying <0559>, Wherefore <4069> look <6440> ye [so]

sadly <7451> to day <3117>?

8 And they said <0559> unto him, We have dreamed <2492> a dream

<2472>, and [there is] no <0369> interpreter <6622> of it. And

Joseph <3130> said <0559> unto them, [Do] not interpretations

<6623> [belong] to God <0430>? tell <5608> me [them], I pray

<4994> you.

9 And the chief <8269> butler <4945> told <5608> his dream

<2472> to Joseph <3130>, and said <0559> to him, In my dream

<2472>, behold <2009>, a vine <1612> [was] before <6440> me;

10 And in the vine <1612> [were] three <7969> branches <8299>:

and it [was] as though it budded <6524>, [and] her blossoms

<5322> shot <5927> forth; and the clusters <0811> thereof

brought <1310> forth <1310> ripe <1310> grapes <6025>:

11 And Pharaoh's <6547> cup <3563> [was] in my hand <3027>: and

I took <3947> the grapes <6025>, and pressed <7818> them into

<0413> Pharaoh's <6547> cup <3563>, and I gave <5414> the cup

<3563> into <5921> Pharaoh's <6547> hand <3709>.

12 And Joseph <3130> said <0559> unto him, This <2088> [is] the

interpretation <6623> of it: The three <7969> branches <8299>

[are] three <7969> days <3117>:

13 Yet <5750> within three <7969> days <3117> shall Pharaoh

<6547> lift <5375> up thine head <7218>, and restore <7725> thee

unto thy place <3653>: and thou shalt deliver <5414> Pharaoh's

<6547> cup <3563> into his hand <3027>, after the former <7223>

manner <4941> when <0834> thou wast <1961> his butler <4945>.

14 But think <2142> on me when <0834> it shall be well <3190>

with thee, and shew <6213> kindness <2617>, I pray <4994> thee,

unto me, and make mention <2142> of me unto Pharaoh <6547>, and

bring <3318> me out of this <2088> house <1004>:

15 For indeed I was stolen <1589> away out of the land <0776>

of the Hebrews <5680>: and here <6311> also <1571> have I done

<6213> nothing that they should put <7760> me into the dungeon

<0953>.

16 When the chief <8269> baker <0644> saw <7200> that the

interpretation <6623> was good <2896>, he said <0559> unto

Joseph <3130>, I also <0637> [was] in my dream <2472>, and,

behold <2009>, [I had] three <7969> white <2751> baskets <5536>

on <5921> my head <7218>:

17 And in the uppermost <5945> basket <5536> [there was] of all

<3605> manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh <6547>; and the birds

<5775> did eat <0398> them out of the basket <5536> upon my head

<7218>.

18 And Joseph <3130> answered <6030> and said <0559>, This

<2088> [is] the interpretation <6623> thereof: The three <7969>

baskets <5536> [are] three <7969> days <3117>:

19 Yet <5750> within three <7969> days <3117> shall Pharaoh

<6547> lift <5375> up thy head <7218> from off <5921> thee, and

shall hang <8518> thee on <5921> a tree <6086>; and the birds

<5775> shall eat <0398> thy flesh <1320> from off <5921> thee.

20. And it came <1961> to pass the third <7992> day <3117>,

[which was] Pharaoh's <6547> birthday, that he made <6213> a

feast <4960> unto all <3605> his servants <5650>: and he lifted

<5375> up the head <7218> of the chief <8269> butler <4945> and

of the chief <8269> baker <0644> among <8432> his servants

<5650>.

21 And he restored <7725> the chief <8269> butler <4945> unto

his butlership <4945> again <7725>; and he gave <5414> the cup

<3563> into <5921> Pharaoh's <6547> hand <3709>:

22 But he hanged <8518> the chief <8269> baker <0644>: as

Joseph <3130> had interpreted <6622> to them.

23 Yet did not the chief <8269> butler <4945> remember <2142>

Joseph <3130>, but forgat <7911> him.

Genesis 41

1. And it came <1961> to pass at the end <7093> of two full

<3117> years <8141>, that Pharaoh <6547> dreamed <2492>: and,

behold <2009>, he stood <5975> by the river <2975>.

2 And, behold <2009>, there came <5927> up out of the river

<2975> seven <7651> well <3303> favoured <4758> kine <6510> and

fatfleshed <1277>; and they fed <7462> in a meadow <0260>.

3 And, behold <2009>, seven <7651> other <0312> kine <6510>

came <5927> up after <0310> them out of the river <2975>, ill

<7451> favoured <4758> and leanfleshed; and stood <5975> by the

[other] kine <6510> upon the brink <8193> of the river <2975>.

4 And the ill <7451> favoured <4758> and leanfleshed kine

<6510> did eat <0398> up the seven <7651> well <3303> favoured

<4758> and fat <1277> kine <6510>. So Pharaoh <6547> awoke

<3364>.

5 And he slept <3462> and dreamed <2492> the second <8145> time:

and, behold <2009>, seven <7651> ears <7641> of corn came

<5927> up upon one <0259> stalk <7070>, rank <1277> and good

<2896>.

6 And, behold <2009>, seven <7651> thin <1851> ears <7641> and

blasted <7710> with the east <6921> wind sprung <6779> up after

<0310> them.

7 And the seven thin <1851> ears <7641> devoured <1104> the

seven <7651> rank <1277> and full <4392> ears <7641>. And

Pharaoh <6547> awoke <3364>, and, behold <2009>, [it was] a

dream <2472>.

8 And it came <1961> to pass in the morning <1242> that his

spirit <7307> was troubled <6470>; and he sent <7971> and called

<7121> for all <3605> the magicians <2748> of Egypt <4714>, and

all <3605> the wise <2450> men thereof: and Pharaoh <6547> told

<5608> them his dream <2472>; but [there was] none <0369> that

could interpret <6622> them unto Pharaoh <6547>.

9. Then spake <1696> the chief <8269> butler <4945> unto

Pharaoh <6547>, saying <0559>, I do remember <2142> my faults

<2399> this day <3117>:

10 Pharaoh <6547> was wroth <7107> with his servants <5650>,

and put <5414> me in ward <4929> in the captain <8269> of the

guard's <2876> house <1004>, [both] me and the chief <8269>

baker <0644>:

11 And we dreamed <2492> a dream <2472> in one <0259> night

<3915>, I and he; we dreamed <2492> each man <0376> according to

the interpretation <6623> of his dream <2472>.

12 And [there <8033> was] there <8033> with us a young <5288>

man <0376>, an Hebrew <5680>, servant <5650> to the captain

<8269> of the guard <2876>; and we told <5608> him, and he

interpreted <6622> to us our dreams <2472>; to each man <0376>

according to his dream <2472> he did interpret <6622>.

13 And it came <1961> to pass, as he interpreted <6622> to us,

so <3651> it was; me he restored <7725> unto mine office <3653>,

and him he hanged <8518>.

14 Then Pharaoh <6547> sent <7971> and called <7121> Joseph

<3130>, and they brought <7323> him hastily <7323> out of the

dungeon <0953>: and he shaved <1548> [himself], and changed

<2498> his raiment <8071>, and came <0935> in unto Pharaoh

<6547>.

15 And Pharaoh <6547> said <0559> unto Joseph <3130>, I have

dreamed <2492> a dream <2472>, and [there is] none <0369> that

can interpret <6622> it: and I have heard <8085> say <0559> of

thee, [that] thou canst understand <8085> a dream <2472> to

interpret <6622> it.

16 And Joseph <3130> answered <6030> Pharaoh <6547>, saying

<0559>, [It is] not in me: God <0430> shall give Pharaoh <6547>

an answer <6030> of peace <7965>.

17. And Pharaoh <6547> said <1696> unto Joseph <3130>, In my

dream <2472>, behold <2009>, I stood <5975> upon the bank <8193>

of the river <2975>:

18 And, behold <2009>, there came <5927> up out of the river

<2975> seven <7651> kine <6510>, fatfleshed <1277> and well

<3303> favoured <8389>; and they fed <7462> in a meadow <0260>:

19 And, behold <2009>, seven <7651> other <0312> kine <6510>

came <5927> up after <0310> them, poor <1800> and very <3966>

ill <7451> favoured <8389> and leanfleshed <7534>, such <2007>

as I never <3808> saw <7200> in all <3605> the land <0776> of

Egypt <4714> for badness <7455>:

20 And the lean <7534> and the ill <7451> favoured kine <6510>

did eat <0398> up the first <7223> seven <7651> fat <1277> kine

<6510>:

21 And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known

<3045> that they had eaten them; but they [were] still ill

<7451> favoured, as at the beginning <8462>. So I awoke <3364>.

22 And I saw <7200> in my dream <2472>, and, behold <2009>,

seven <7651> ears <7641> came <5927> up in one <0259> stalk

<7070>, full <4392> and good <2896>:

23 And, behold <2009>, seven <7651> ears <7641>, withered

<6798>, thin <1851>, [and] blasted <7710> with the east <6921>

wind, sprung <6779> up after <0310> them:

24 And the thin <1851> ears <7641> devoured <1104> the seven

<7651> good <2896> ears <7641>: and I told <0559> [this] unto

the magicians <2748>; but [there was] none <0369> that could

declare <5046> [it] to me.

25 And Joseph <3130> said <0559> unto Pharaoh <6547>, The dream

<2472> of Pharaoh <6547> [is] one <0259>: God <0430> hath shewed

<5046> Pharaoh <6547> what he [is] about to do <6213>.

26 The seven <7651> good <2896> kine <6510> [are] seven <7651>

years <8141>; and the seven <7651> good <2896> ears <7641> [are]

seven <7651> years <8141>: the dream <2472> [is] one <0259>.

27 And the seven <7651> thin <7534> and ill <7451> favoured

kine <6510> that came <5927> up after <0310> them [are] seven

<7651> years <8141>; and the seven <7651> empty <7386> ears

<7641> blasted <7710> with the east <6921> wind shall be seven

<7651> years <8141> of famine <7458>.

28 This [is] the thing <1697> which <0834> I have spoken <1696>

unto Pharaoh <6547>: What <0834> God <0430> [is] about to do

<6213> he sheweth <7200> unto Pharaoh <6547>.

29 Behold <2009>, there come <0935> seven <7651> years <8141>

of great <1419> plenty <7647> throughout all <3605> the land

<0776> of Egypt <4714>:

30 And there shall arise <6965> after <0310> them seven <7651>

years <8141> of famine <7458>; and all <3605> the plenty <7647>

shall be forgotten <7911> in the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>;

and the famine <7458> shall consume <3615> the land <0776>;

31 And the plenty <7647> shall not be known <3045> in the land

<0776> by reason <6440> of that famine <7458> following; for it

[shall be] very <3966> grievous <3515>.

32 And for that the dream <2472> was doubled <8138> unto

Pharaoh <6547> twice <6471>; [it is] because <3588> the thing

<1697> [is] established <3559> by God <0430>, and God <0430>

will shortly <4116> bring <6213> it to pass <6213>.

33. Now <6258> therefore let Pharaoh <6547> look <7200> out a

man <0376> discreet <0995> and wise <2450>, and set <7896> him

over <5921> the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>.

34 Let Pharaoh <6547> do <6213> [this], and let him appoint

<6485> officers <6496> over <5921> the land <0776>, and take up

the fifth <2567> part of the land <0776> of Egypt <4714> in the

seven <7651> plenteous <7647> years <8141>.

35 And let them gather <6908> all <3605> the food <0400> of

those <0428> good <2896> years <8141> that come <0935>, and lay

<6651> up corn <1250> under <8478> the hand <3027> of Pharaoh

<6547>, and let them keep <8104> food <0400> in the cities

<5892>.

36 And that food <0400> shall be for store <6487> to the land

<0776> against the seven <7651> years <8141> of famine <7458>,

which <0834> shall be in the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>; that

the land <0776> perish <3772> not through the famine <7458>.

37 And the thing <1697> was good <3190> in the eyes <5869> of

Pharaoh <6547>, and in the eyes <5869> of all <3605> his

servants <5650>.

38 And Pharaoh <6547> said <0559> unto his servants <5650>, Can

we find <4672> [such a one] as this <2088> [is], a man <0376> in

whom <0834> the Spirit <7307> of God <0430> [is]?

39 And Pharaoh <6547> said <0559> unto Joseph <3130>, Forasmuch

<0310> as God <0430> hath shewed <3045> thee all <3605> this

<2063>, [there is] none <0369> so discreet <0995> and wise

<2450> as thou [art]:

40 Thou shalt be over <5921> my house <1004>, and according

<5921> unto thy word <6310> shall all <3605> my people <5971> be

ruled <5401>: only <7535> in the throne <3678> will I be greater

<1431> than thou.

41 And Pharaoh <6547> said <0559> unto Joseph <3130>, See

<7200>, I have set <5414> thee over <5921> all <3605> the land

<0776> of Egypt <4714>.

42 And Pharaoh <6547> took <5493> off his ring <2885> from his

hand <3027>, and put <5414> it upon Joseph's <3130> hand <3027>,

and arrayed <3847> him in vestures <0899> of fine linen <8336>,

and put <7760> a gold <2091> chain <7242> about <5921> his neck

<6677>;

43 And he made him to ride <7392> in the second <4932> chariot

<4818> which <0834> he had; and they cried <7121> before <6440>

him, Bow <86> the knee: and he made <5414> him [ruler] over

<5921> all <3605> the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>.

44 And Pharaoh <6547> said <0559> unto Joseph <3130>, I [am]

Pharaoh <6547>, and without <1107> thee shall no <3808> man

<0376> lift <7311> up his hand <3027> or foot <7272> in all

<3605> the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>.

45 And Pharaoh <6547> called <7121> Joseph's <3130> name <8034>

Zaphnathpaaneah; and he gave <5414> him to wife <0802> Asenath

<0621> the daughter <1323> of Potipherah <6319> priest <3548> of

On <0204>. And Joseph <3130> went <3318> out over <5921> [all]

the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>.

46. And Joseph <3130> [was] thirty <7970> years <8141> old

<1121> when he stood <5975> before <6440> Pharaoh <6547> king

<4428> of Egypt <4714>. And Joseph <3130> went <3318> out from

the presence <6440> of Pharaoh <6547>, and went <5674>

throughout all <3605> the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>.

47 And in the seven <7651> plenteous <7647> years <8141> the

earth <0776> brought <6213> forth <6213> by handfuls <7062>.

48 And he gathered <6908> up all <3605> the food <0400> of the

seven <7651> years <8141>, which <0834> were in the land <0776>

of Egypt <4714>, and laid <5414> up the food <0400> in the

cities <5892>: the food <0400> of the field <7704>, which <0834>

[was] round <5439> about every city <5892>, laid <5414> he up in

the same.

49 And Joseph <3130> gathered <6651> corn <1250> as the sand

<2344> of the sea <3220>, very <3966> much <7235>, until <5704>

he left <2308> numbering <5608>; for [it was] without <0369>

number <4557>.

50 And unto Joseph <3130> were born <3205> two <8147> sons

<1121> before <2962> the years <8141> of famine <7458> came

<0935>, which <0834> Asenath <0621> the daughter <1323> of

Potipherah <6319> priest <3548> of On <0204> bare <3205> unto

him.

51 And Joseph <3130> called <7121> the name <8034> of the

firstborn <1060> Manasseh <4519>: For God <0430>, [said he],

hath made me forget <5382> all <3605> my toil <5999>, and all

<3605> my father's <1> house <1004>.

52 And the name <8034> of the second <8145> called <7121> he

Ephraim <0669>: For God <0430> hath caused me to be fruitful

<6509> in the land <0776> of my affliction <6040>.

53 And the seven <7651> years <8141> of plenteousness <7647>,

that was in the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>, were ended <3615>.

54 And the seven <7651> years <8141> of dearth <7458> began

<2490> to come <0935>, according as Joseph <3130> had said

<0559>: and the dearth <7458> was in all <3605> lands <0776>;

but in all <3605> the land <0776> of Egypt <4714> there was

bread <3899>.

55 And when all <3605> the land <0776> of Egypt <4714> was

famished <7456>, the people <5971> cried <6817> to Pharaoh

<6547> for bread <3899>: and Pharaoh <6547> said <0559> unto all

<3605> the Egyptians <4714>, Go <3212> unto Joseph <3130>; what

<0834> he saith <0559> to you, do <6213>.

56 And the famine <7458> was over <5921> all <3605> the face

<6440> of the earth <0776>: And Joseph <3130> opened <6605> all

<3605> the storehouses <0834>, and sold <7666> unto the

Egyptians <4714>; and the famine <7458> waxed sore <2388> in the

land <0776> of Egypt <4714>.

57 And all <3605> countries <0776> came <0935> into Egypt

<4714> to Joseph <3130> for to buy <7666> [corn]; because <3588>

that the famine <7458> was [so] sore <2388> in all <3605> lands

<0776>.

Genesis 42

1. Now when Jacob <3290> saw <7200> that there was corn <7668>

in Egypt <4714>, Jacob <3290> said <0559> unto his sons <1121>,

Why <4100> do ye look <7200> one upon another?

2 And he said <0559>, Behold <2009>, I have heard <8085> that

there is corn <7668> in Egypt <4714>: get <3381> you down <3381>

thither <8033>, and buy <7666> for us from thence <8033>; that

we may live <2421>, and not die <4191>.

3 And Joseph's <3130> ten <6235> brethren <0251> went <3381>

down <3381> to buy <7666> corn <1250> in Egypt <4714>.

4 But Benjamin <1144>, Joseph's <3130> brother <0251>, Jacob

<3290> sent <7971> not with his brethren <0251>; for he said

<0559>, Lest <6435> peradventure mischief <0611> befall <7122>

him.

5 And the sons <1121> of Israel <3478> came <0935> to buy

<7666> [corn] among <8432> those that came <0935>: for the

famine <7458> was in the land <0776> of Canaan <3667>.

6 And Joseph <3130> [was] the governor <7989> over <5921> the

land <0776>, [and] he [it was] that sold <7666> to all <3605>

the people <5971> of the land <0776>: and Joseph's <3130>

brethren <0251> came <0935>, and bowed <7812> down <7812>

themselves before him [with] their faces <0639> to the earth

<0776>.

7. And Joseph <3130> saw <7200> his brethren <0251>, and he

knew <5234> them, but made himself strange <5234> unto them, and

spake <1696> roughly <7186> unto them; and he said <0559> unto

them, Whence <0370> come <0935> ye? And they said <0559>, From

the land <0776> of Canaan <3667> to buy <7666> food <0400>.

8 And Joseph <3130> knew <5234> his brethren <0251>, but they

knew <3045> not him.

9 And Joseph <3130> remembered <2142> the dreams <2472> which

<0834> he dreamed <2492> of them, and said <0559> unto them, Ye

[are] spies <7270>; to see <7200> the nakedness <6172> of the

land <0776> ye are come <0935>.

10 And they said <0559> unto him, Nay <3808>, my lord <0113>,

but to buy <7666> food <0400> are thy servants <5650> come

<0935>.

11 We [are] all <3605> one <0259> man's <0376> sons <1121>; we

[are] true <3651> [men], thy servants <5650> are no <3808> spies

<7270>.

12 And he said <0559> unto them, Nay <3808>, but to see <7200>

the nakedness <6172> of the land <0776> ye are come <0935>.

13 And they said <0559>, Thy servants <5650> [are] twelve

brethren <0251>, the sons <1121> of one <0259> man <0376> in the

land <0776> of Canaan <3667>; and, behold <2009>, the youngest

<6996> [is] this day <3117> with our father <1>, and one <0259>

[is] not.

14 And Joseph <3130> said <0559> unto them, That [is it] that I

spake <1696> unto you, saying <0559>, Ye [are] spies <7270>:

15 Hereby <2063> ye shall be proved <0974>: By the life <2416>

of Pharaoh <6547> ye shall not go <3318> forth <3318> hence

<2088>, except your youngest <6996> brother <0251> come <0935>

hither.

16 Send <7971> one <0259> of you, and let him fetch <3947> your

brother <0251>, and ye shall be kept <0631> in prison, that your

words <1697> may be proved <0974>, whether [there be any] truth

<0571> in you: or else by the life <2416> of Pharaoh <6547>

surely ye [are] spies <7270>.

17 And he put <0622> them all <0622> together into <0413> ward

<4929> three <7969> days <3117>.

18 And Joseph <3130> said <0559> unto them the third <7992> day

<3117>, This <2063> do <6213>, and live <2421>; [for] I fear

<3373> God <0430>:

19 If <0518> ye [be] true <3651> [men], let one <0259> of your

brethren <0251> be bound <0631> in the house <1004> of your

prison <4929>: go <3212> ye, carry <0935> corn <7668> for the

famine <7459> of your houses <1004>:

20 But bring <0935> your youngest <6996> brother <0251> unto me;

so shall your words <1697> be verified <0539>, and ye shall not

die <4191>. And they did <6213> so <3651>.

21. And they said <0559> one <0376> to another <0250>, We [are]

verily <61> guilty <0816> concerning <5921> our brother <0251>,

in that we saw <7200> the anguish <6869> of his soul <5315>,

when he besought <2603> us, and we would not hear <8085>;

therefore is this <2063> distress <6869> come <0935> upon us.

22 And Reuben <7205> answered <6030> them, saying <0559>, Spake

<0559> I not unto you, saying <0559>, Do not sin <2398> against

the child <3206>; and ye would not hear <8085>? therefore <1571>,

behold <2009>, also <1571> his blood <1818> is required <1875>.

23 And they knew <3045> not that Joseph <3130> understood

<8085> [them]; for he spake unto them by an interpreter <3887>.

24 And he turned <5437> himself about from them, and wept

<1058>; and returned <7725> to them again <7725>, and communed

<1696> with them, and took <3947> from them Simeon <8095>, and

bound <0631> him before their eyes <5869>.

25 Then Joseph <3130> commanded <6680> to fill <4390> their

sacks <3672> with corn <1250>, and to restore <7725> every man's

<0376> money <3701> into <0413> his sack <8242>, and to give

<5414> them provision <6720> for the way <1870>: and thus <3651>

did <6213> he unto them.

26 And they laded <5375> their asses <2543> with the corn

<7668>, and departed <3212> thence <8033>.

27 And as one <0259> of them opened <6605> his sack <8242> to

give <5414> his ass <2543> provender <4554> in the inn <4411>,

he espied <7200> his money <3701>; for, behold <2009>, it [was]

in his sack's <0572> mouth <6310>.

28 And he said <0559> unto his brethren <0251>, My money <3701>

is restored <7725>; and, lo <2009>, [it is] even in my sack

<0572>: and their heart <3820> failed <3318> [them], and they

were afraid <2729>, saying <0559> one <0376> to another <0250>,

What <4100> [is] this <2063> [that] God <0430> hath done <6213>

unto us?

29. And they came <0935> unto Jacob <3290> their father <1>

unto the land <0776> of Canaan <3667>, and told <5046> him all

<3605> that befell <7136> unto them; saying <0559>,

30 The man <0376>, [who is] the lord <0113> of the land <0776>,

spake <1696> roughly <7186> to us, and took <5414> us for spies

<7270> of the country <0776>.

31 And we said <0559> unto him, We [are] true <3651> [men]; we

are no <3808> spies <7270>:

32 We [be] twelve brethren <0251>, sons <1121> of our father

<1>; one <0259> [is] not, and the youngest <6996> [is] this day

<3117> with our father <1> in the land <0776> of Canaan <3667>.

33 And the man <0376>, the lord <0113> of the country <0776>,

said <0559> unto us, Hereby <2063> shall I know <3045> that ye

[are] true <3651> [men]; leave <3241> one <0259> of your

brethren <0251> [here] with me, and take <3947> [food for] the

famine <7459> of your households <1004>, and be gone <3212>:

34 And bring <0935> your youngest <6996> brother <0251> unto me:

then shall I know <3045> that ye [are] no <3808> spies <7270>,

but [that] ye [are] true <3651> [men: so] will I deliver <5414>

you your brother <0251>, and ye shall traffick <5503> in the

land <0776>.

35 And it came <1961> to pass as they emptied <7324> their

sacks <8242>, that, behold <2009>, every man's <0376> bundle

<6872> of money <3701> [was] in his sack <8242>: and when [both]

they and their father <1> saw <7200> the bundles <6872> of money

<3701>, they were afraid <3372>.

36 And Jacob <3290> their father <1> said <0559> unto them, Me

have ye bereaved <7921> [of my children]: Joseph <3130> [is] not,

and Simeon <8095> [is] not, and ye will take <3947> Benjamin

<1144> [away]: all <3605> these things are against <5921> me.

37 And Reuben <7205> spake <0559> unto his father <1>, saying

<0559>, Slay <4191> my two <8147> sons <1121>, if I bring <0935>

him not to thee: deliver <5414> him into <5921> my hand <3027>,

and I will bring <7725> him to thee again <7725>.

38 And he said <0559>, My son <1121> shall not go <3381> down

<3381> with you; for his brother <0251> is dead <4191>, and he

is left <7604> alone <0905>: if mischief <0611> befall <7122>

him by the way <1870> in the which <0834> ye go <3212>, then

shall ye bring <3381> down <3381> my gray <7872> hairs with

sorrow <3015> to the grave <7585>.

Genesis 43

1. And the famine <7458> [was] sore <3515> in the land <0776>.

2 And it came <1961> to pass, when <0834> they had eaten <0398>

up the corn <7668> which <0834> they had brought <0935> out of

Egypt <4714>, their father <1> said <0559> unto them, Go <7725>

again <7725>, buy <7666> us a little <4592> food <0400>.

3 And Judah <3063> spake <0559> unto him, saying <0559>, The

man <0376> did solemnly <5749> protest <5749> unto us, saying

<0559>, Ye shall not see <7200> my face <6440>, except <1115>

your brother <0251> [be] with you.

4 If <0518> thou wilt send <7971> our brother <0251> with us,

we will go <3381> down <3381> and buy <7666> thee food <0400>:

5 But if <0518> thou wilt not send <7971> [him], we will not go

<3381> down <3381>: for the man <0376> said <0559> unto us, Ye

shall not see <7200> my face <6440>, except <1115> your brother

<0251> [be] with you.

6 And Israel <3478> said <0559>, Wherefore <4100> dealt ye [so]

ill <7489> with me, [as] to tell <5046> the man <0376> whether

<5750> ye had yet <5750> a brother <0251>?

7 And they said <0559>, The man <0376> asked <7592> us straitly

of our state, and of our kindred <4138>, saying <0559>, [Is]

your father <1> yet alive <2416>? have <3426> ye [another]

brother <0251>? and we told <5046> him according <5921> to the

tenor <6310> of these <0428> words <1697>: could we certainly

know <3045> that he would say <0559>, Bring <3381> your brother

<0251> down <3381>?

8 And Judah <3063> said <0559> unto Israel <3478> his father

<1>, Send <7971> the lad <5288> with me, and we will arise

<6965> and go <3212>; that we may live <2421>, and not die

<4191>, both <1571> we, and thou, [and] also <1571> our little

<2945> ones.

9 I will be surety <6148> for him; of my hand <3027> shalt thou

require <1245> him: if <0518> I bring <0935> him not unto thee,

and set <3322> him before <6440> thee, then let me bear <2398>

the blame <2398> for ever:

10 For except <3884> we had lingered <4102>, surely <3588> now

<6258> we had returned <7725> this <2088> second time <6471>.

11. And their father <1> Israel <3478> said <0559> unto them,

If <0518> [it must be] so <3651> now <0645>, do <6213> this

<2063>; take <3947> of the best <2173> fruits <2173> in the land

<0776> in your vessels <3627>, and carry <3381> down <3381> the

man <0376> a present <4503>, a little <4592> balm <6875>, and a

little <4592> honey <1706>, spices <5219>, and myrrh <3910>,

nuts <0992>, and almonds <8247>:

12 And take <3947> double <4932> money <3701> in your hand

<3027>; and the money <3701> that was brought <7725> again

<7725> in the mouth <6310> of your sacks <0572>, carry <7725>

[it] again <7725> in your hand <3027>; peradventure <0194> it

[was] an oversight <4870>:

13 Take <3947> also your brother <0251>, and arise <6965>, go

<7725> again <7725> unto the man <0376>:

14 And God <0410> Almighty <7706> give <5414> you mercy <7356>

before <6440> the man <0376>, that he may send <7971> away your

other <0312> brother <0251>, and Benjamin <1144>. If <0834> I be

bereaved <7921> [of my children], I am bereaved <7921>.

15. And the men <0582> took <3947> that present <4503>, and

they took <3947> double <4932> money <3701> in their hand <3027>,

and Benjamin <1144>; and rose <6965> up, and went <3381> down

<3381> to Egypt <4714>, and stood <5975> before <6440> Joseph

<3130>.

16 And when <3588> Joseph <3130> saw <7200> Benjamin <1144>

with them, he said <0559> to the ruler of his house <1004>,

Bring <0935> [these] men <0582> home <1004>, and slay <2875>,

and make ready <3559>; for [these] men <0582> shall dine <0398>

with me at noon <6672>.

17 And the man <0376> did <6213> as Joseph <3130> bade <0559>;

and the man <0376> brought <0935> the men <0582> into Joseph's

<3130> house <1004>.

18 And the men <0582> were afraid <3372>, because <3588> they

were brought <0935> into Joseph's <3130> house <1004>; and they

said <0559>, Because of the money <3701> that was returned

<7725> in our sacks <0572> at the first <8462> time <8462> are

we brought <0935> in; that he may seek <1556> occasion <1556>

against <5921> us, and fall <5307> upon us, and take <3947> us

for bondmen <5650>, and our asses <2543>.

19 And they came <5066> near <5066> to the steward of Joseph's

<3130> house <1004>, and they communed <1696> with him at the

door <6607> of the house <1004>,

20 And said <0559>, O sir <0113>, we came <3381> indeed down

<3381> at the first <8462> time <8462> to buy <7666> food <0400>:

21 And it came <1961> to pass, when <3588> we came <0935> to

the inn <4411>, that we opened <6605> our sacks <0572>, and,

behold <2009>, [every] man's <0376> money <3701> [was] in the

mouth <6310> of his sack <0572>, our money <3701> in full weight

<4948>: and we have brought <7725> it again <7725> in our hand

<3027>.

22 And other <0312> money <3701> have we brought <3381> down

<3381> in our hands <3027> to buy <7666> food <0400>: we cannot

<3808> tell <3045> who <4310> put <7760> our money <3701> in our

sacks <0572>.

23 And he said <0559>, Peace <7965> [be] to you, fear <3372>

not: your God <0430>, and the God <0430> of your father <1>,

hath given <5414> you treasure <4301> in your sacks <0572>: I

had <0935> your money <3701>. And he brought <3318> Simeon

<8095> out unto them.

24 And the man <0376> brought <0935> the men <0582> into

Joseph's <3130> house <1004>, and gave <5414> [them] water

<4325>, and they washed <7364> their feet <7272>; and he gave

<5414> their asses <2543> provender <4554>.

25 And they made ready <3559> the present <4503> against <5704>

Joseph <3130> came <0935> at noon <6672>: for they heard <8085>

that they should eat <0398> bread <3899> there <8033>.

26. And when Joseph <3130> came <0935> home <1004>, they

brought <0935> him the present <4503> which <0834> [was] in

their hand <3027> into the house <1004>, and bowed <7812>

themselves to him to the earth <0776>.

27 And he asked <7592> them of [their] welfare <7965>, and said

<0559>, [Is] your father <1> well <7965>, the old <2205> man of

whom <0834> ye spake <0559>? [Is] he yet <5750> alive <2416>?

28 And they answered <0559>, Thy servant <5650> our father <1>

[is] in good <7965> health <7965>, he [is] yet <5750> alive

<2416>. And they bowed <6915> down <6915> their heads, and made

obeisance <7812>.

29 And he lifted <5375> up his eyes <5869>, and saw <7200> his

brother <0251> Benjamin <1144>, his mother's <0517> son <1121>,

and said <0559>, [Is] this <2088> your younger <6996> brother

<0251>, of whom <0834> ye spake <0559> unto me? And he said

<0559>, God <0430> be gracious <2603> unto thee, my son <1121>.

30 And Joseph <3130> made haste <4116>; for his bowels <7358>

did yearn <3648> upon his brother <0251>: and he sought <1245>

[where] to weep <1058>; and he entered <0935> into [his] chamber

<2315>, and wept <1058> there <8033>.

31 And he washed <7364> his face <6440>, and went <3318> out,

and refrained <0662> himself, and said <0559>, Set <7760> on

bread <3899>.

32 And they set <7760> on for him by himself, and for them by

themselves <0905>, and for the Egyptians <4713>, which did eat

<0398> with him, by themselves <0905>: because <3588> the

Egyptians <4713> might <3201> not eat <0398> bread <3899> with

the Hebrews <5680>; for that [is] an abomination <8441> unto the

Egyptians <4714>.

33 And they sat <3427> before <6440> him, the firstborn <1060>

according to his birthright <1062>, and the youngest <6810>

according to his youth <6812>: and the men <0582> marvelled

<8539> one <0376> at <0413> another <7453>.

34 And he took <5375> [and sent <7971>] messes <4864> unto them

from before <6440> him: but Benjamin's <1144> mess <4864> was

five <2568> times <3027> so much <7235> as any of theirs. And

they drank <8354>, and were merry <7937> with him.

Genesis 44

1. And he commanded <6680> the steward <5921> of his house

<1004>, saying <0559>, Fill <4390> the men's <0582> sacks <0572>

[with] food <0400>, as much <0834> as they can <3201> carry

<5375>, and put <7760> every man's <0376> money <3701> in his

sack's <0572> mouth <6310>.

2 And put <7760> my cup <1375>, the silver <3701> cup <1375>,

in the sack's <0572> mouth <6310> of the youngest <6996>, and

his corn <7668> money <3701>. And he did <6213> according to the

word <1697> that Joseph <3130> had spoken <1696>.

3 As soon as the morning <1242> was light <0216>, the men

<0582> were sent <7971> away, they and their asses <2543>.

4 [And] when they were gone <3318> out of the city <5892>,

[and] not [yet] far <7368> off, Joseph <3130> said <0559> unto

his steward <5921>, Up, follow <7291> after <0310> the men

<0582>; and when thou dost overtake <5381> them, say <0559> unto

them, Wherefore <4100> have ye rewarded <7999> evil <7451> for

good <2896>?

5 [Is] not this <2088> [it] in which <0834> my lord <0113>

drinketh <8354>, and whereby indeed he divineth <5172>? ye have

done evil <7489> in so <0834> doing <6213>.

6 And he overtook <5381> them, and he spake <1696> unto them

these <0411> same words <1697>.

7 And they said <0559> unto him, Wherefore <4100> saith <1696>

my lord <0113> these <0428> words <1697>? God forbid <2486> that

thy servants <5650> should do <6213> according to this <2088>

thing <1697>:

8 Behold <2005>, the money <3701>, which <0834> we found <4672>

in our sacks <0572>' mouths <6310>, we brought <7725> again

<7725> unto thee out of the land <0776> of Canaan <3667>: how

<0349> then should we steal <1589> out of thy lord's <0113>

house <1004> silver <3701> or <0176> gold <2091>?

9 With whomsoever <0834> of thy servants <5650> it be found

<4672>, both let him die <4191>, and we also <1571> will be my

lord's <0113> bondmen <5650>.

10 And he said <0559>, Now <6258> also <1571> [let] it [be]

according unto your words <1697>: he with whom <0834> it is

found <4672> shall be my servant <5650>; and ye shall be

blameless <5355>.

11 Then they speedily <4116> took <3381> down <3381> every man

<0376> his sack <0572> to the ground <0776>, and opened <6605>

every man <0376> his sack <0572>.

12 And he searched <2664>, [and] began <2490> at the eldest

<1419>, and left <3615> at the youngest <6996>: and the cup

<1375> was found <4672> in Benjamin's <1144> sack <0572>.

13 Then they rent <7167> their clothes <8071>, and laded <6006>

every man <0376> his ass <2543>, and returned <7725> to the city

<5892>.

14 And Judah <3063> and his brethren <0251> came <0935> to

Joseph's <3130> house <1004>; for he [was] yet <5750> there

<8033>: and they fell <5307> before <6440> him on the ground

<0776>.

15 And Joseph <3130> said <0559> unto them, What <4100> deed

<4639> [is] this that ye have done <6213>? wot <3045> ye not

that such a man <0376> as I can certainly divine <5172>?

16 And Judah <3063> said <0559>, What <4100> shall we say

<0559> unto my lord <0113>? what <4100> shall we speak <1696>?

or how <4100> shall we clear <6663> ourselves? God <0430> hath

found <4672> out the iniquity <5771> of thy servants <5650>:

behold <2009>, we [are] my lord's <0113> servants <5650>, both

<1571> we, and [he] also <1571> with whom <0834> the cup <1375>

is found <4672>.

17 And he said <0559>, God forbid <2486> that I should do

<6213> so <2063>: [but] the man <0376> in whose hand <3027> the

cup <1375> is found <4672>, he shall be my servant <5650>; and

as for you, get <5927> you up in peace <7965> unto your father

<1>.

18. Then Judah <3063> came <5066> near <5066> unto him, and

said <0559>, Oh <0994> my lord <0113>, let thy servant <5650>, I

pray <4994> thee, speak <1696> a word <1697> in my lord's <0113>

ears <0241>, and let not thine anger <0639> burn <2734> against

thy servant <5650>: for thou [art] even as Pharaoh <6547>.

19 My lord <0113> asked <7592> his servants <5650>, saying

<0559>, Have <3426> ye a father <1>, or <0176> a brother <0251>?

20 And we said <0559> unto my lord <0113>, We have <3426> a

father <1>, an old <2208> man <0376>, and a child <3206> of his

old <2208> age, a little <6966> one; and his brother <0251> is

dead <4191>, and he alone <0905> is left <3498> of his mother

<0517>, and his father <1> loveth <0157> him.

21 And thou saidst <0559> unto thy servants <5650>, Bring

<3381> him down <3381> unto me, that I may set <7760> mine eyes

<5869> upon him.

22 And we said <0559> unto my lord <0113>, The lad <5288>

cannot leave <5800> his father <1>: for [if] he should leave

<5800> his father, [his father] would die <4191>.

23 And thou saidst <0559> unto thy servants <5650>, Except your

youngest <6996> brother <0251> come <3381> down <3381> with you,

ye shall see <7200> my face <6440> no <3808> more <3254>.

24 And it came <1961> to pass when <3588> we came <5927> up

unto thy servant <5650> my father <1>, we told <5046> him the

words <1697> of my lord <0113>.

25 And our father <1> said <0559>, Go <7725> again <7725>,

[and] buy <7666> us a little <4592> food <0400>.

26 And we said <0559>, We cannot go <3381> down <3381>: if

<0518> our youngest <6996> brother <0251> be with us, then will

we go <3381> down <3381>: for we may <3201> not see <7200> the

man's <0376> face <6440>, except <0369> our youngest <6996>

brother <0251> [be] with us.

27 And thy servant <5650> my father <1> said <0559> unto us, Ye

know <3045> that my wife <0802> bare <3205> me two <8147> [sons]:

28 And the one <0259> went <3318> out from me, and I said

<0559>, Surely <0389> he is torn <2963> in pieces; and I saw

<7200> him not since <2008>:

29 And if <0518> ye take <3947> this <2088> also <1571> from me,

and mischief <0611> befall <7136> him, ye shall bring <3381>

down <3381> my gray <7872> hairs with sorrow <7451> to the grave

<7585>.

30 Now <6258> therefore when I come <0935> to thy servant

<5650> my father <1>, and the lad <5288> [be] not with us;

seeing that his life <5315> is bound <7194> up in the lad's

<5288> life;

31 It shall come <1961> to pass, when he seeth <7200> that the

lad <5288> [is] not [with us], that he will die <4191>: and thy

servants <5650> shall bring <3381> down <3381> the gray <7872>

hairs of thy servant <5650> our father <1> with sorrow <3015> to

the grave <7585>.

32 For thy servant <5650> became <6148> surety <6148> for the

lad <5288> unto my father <1>, saying <0559>, If <0518> I bring

<0935> him not unto thee, then I shall bear <2398> the blame

<2398> to my father <1> for ever.

33 Now <6258> therefore, I pray <4994> thee, let thy servant

<5650> abide <3427> instead <8478> of the lad <5288> a bondman

<5650> to my lord <0113>; and let the lad <5288> go <5927> up

with his brethren <0251>.

34 For how <0349> shall I go <5927> up to my father <1>, and

the lad <5288> [be] not with me? lest <6435> peradventure I see

<7200> the evil <7451> that shall come <4672> on my father <1>.

Genesis 45

1. Then Joseph <3130> could <3201> not refrain <0662> himself

before all <3605> them that stood <5324> by him; and he cried

<7121>, Cause every <3605> man <0376> to go <3318> out from me.

And there stood <5975> no <3808> man <0376> with him, while

Joseph <3130> made himself known <3045> unto his brethren <0251>.

2 And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians <4714> and the house

<1004> of Pharaoh <6547> heard <8085>.

3 And Joseph <3130> said <0559> unto his brethren <0251>, I

[am] Joseph <3130>; doth my father <1> yet <5750> live <2416>?

And his brethren <0251> could <3201> not answer <6030> him; for

they were troubled <0926> at his presence <6440>.

4 And Joseph <3130> said <0559> unto his brethren <0251>, Come

<5066> near <5066> to me, I pray <4994> you. And they came

<5066> near <5066>. And he said <0559>, I [am] Joseph <3130>

your brother <0251>, whom <0834> ye sold <4376> into Egypt

<4714>.

5 Now <6258> therefore be not grieved <6087>, nor <0408> angry

<2734> with yourselves <5869>, that ye sold <4376> me hither:

for God <0430> did send <7971> me before <6440> you to preserve

<4241> life.

6 For these <2088> two years <8141> [hath] the famine <7458>

[been] in the land <0776>: and yet <5750> [there are] five

<2568> years <8141>, in the which <0834> [there shall] neither

<0369> [be] earing <2758> nor harvest <7105>.

7 And God <0430> sent <7971> me before <6440> you to preserve

<7760> you a posterity <7611> in the earth <0776>, and to save

<2421> your lives <2421> by a great <1419> deliverance <6413>.

8 So now <6258> [it was] not you [that] sent <7971> me hither,

but God <0430>: and he hath made <7760> me a father <1> to

Pharaoh <6547>, and lord <0113> of all <3605> his house <1004>,

and a ruler <4910> throughout all <3605> the land <0776> of

Egypt <4714>.

9 Haste <4116> ye, and go <5927> up to my father <1>, and say

<0559> unto him, Thus <3541> saith <0559> thy son <1121> Joseph

<3130>, God <0430> hath made <7760> me lord <0113> of all <3605>

Egypt <4714>: come <3381> down <3381> unto me, tarry <5975> not:

10 And thou shalt dwell <3427> in the land <0776> of Goshen

<1657>, and thou shalt be near <7138> unto me, thou, and thy

children <1121>, and thy children's <1121> children <1121>, and

thy flocks <6629>, and thy herds <1241>, and all <3605> that

thou hast:

11 And there <8033> will I nourish <3557> thee; for yet <5750>

[there are] five <2568> years <8141> of famine <7458>; lest

<6435> thou, and thy household <1004>, and all <3605> that thou

hast, come to poverty <3423>.

12 And, behold <2009>, your eyes <5869> see <7200>, and the

eyes <5869> of my brother <0251> Benjamin <1144>, that [it is]

my mouth <6310> that speaketh <1696> unto you.

13 And ye shall tell <5046> my father <1> of all <3605> my

glory <3519> in Egypt <4714>, and of all <3605> that ye have

seen <7200>; and ye shall haste <4116> and bring <3381> down

<3381> my father hither.

14 And he fell <5307> upon his brother <0251> Benjamin's <1144>

neck <6677>, and wept <1058>; and Benjamin <1144> wept <1058>

upon his neck <6677>.

15 Moreover he kissed <5401> all <3605> his brethren <0251>,

and wept <1058> upon them: and after <0310> that his brethren

<0251> talked <1696> with him.

16. And the fame <6963> thereof was heard <8085> in Pharaoh's

<6547> house <1004>, saying <0559>, Joseph's <3130> brethren

<0251> are come <0935>: and it pleased Pharaoh <6547> well, and

his servants <5650>.

17 And Pharaoh <6547> said <0559> unto Joseph <3130>, Say

<0559> unto thy brethren <0251>, This <2063> do <6213> ye; lade

<2943> your beasts <1165>, and go <3212>, get <0935> you unto

the land <0776> of Canaan <3667>;

18 And take <3947> your father <1> and your households <1004>,

and come <0935> unto me: and I will give <5414> you the good

<2898> of the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>, and ye shall eat

<0398> the fat <2459> of the land <0776>.

19 Now thou art commanded <6680>, this <2063> do <6213> ye;

take <3947> you wagons <5699> out of the land <0776> of Egypt

<4714> for your little <2945> ones, and for your wives <0802>,

and bring <5375> your father <1>, and come <0935>.

20 Also regard not your stuff <3627>; for the good <2898> of

all <3605> the land <0776> of Egypt <4714> [is] yours.

21 And the children <1121> of Israel <3478> did <6213> so

<3651>: and Joseph <3130> gave <5414> them wagons <5699>,

according <5921> to the commandment <6310> of Pharaoh <6547>,

and gave <5414> them provision <6720> for the way <1870>.

22 To all <3605> of them he gave <5414> each man <0376> changes

<2487> of raiment <8071>; but to Benjamin <1144> he gave <5414>

three <7969> hundred <3967> [pieces] of silver <3701>, and five

<2568> changes <2487> of raiment <8071>.

23 And to his father <1> he sent <7971> after this <2063>

[manner]; ten <6235> asses <0860> laden <5375> with the good

<2898> things of Egypt <4714>, and ten <6235> she asses <2543>

laden <5375> with corn <1250> and bread <3899> and meat <4202>

for his father <1> by the way <1870>.

24 So he sent <7971> his brethren <0251> away, and they

departed <3212>: and he said <0559> unto them, See that ye fall

<7264> not out by the way <1870>.

25. And they went <5927> up out of Egypt <4714>, and came

<0935> into the land <0776> of Canaan <3667> unto Jacob <3290>

their father <1>,

26 And told <5046> him, saying <0559>, Joseph <3130> [is] yet

<5750> alive <2416>, and he [is] governor <4910> over <5921> all

<3605> the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>. And Jacob's heart <3820>

fainted <6313>, for he believed <0539> them not.

27 And they told <1696> him all <3605> the words <1697> of

Joseph <3130>, which <0834> he had said <1697> unto them: and

when he saw <7200> the wagons <5699> which <0834> Joseph <3130>

had sent <7971> to carry <5375> him, the spirit <7307> of Jacob

<3290> their father <1> revived <2421>:

28 And Israel <3478> said <0559>, [It is] enough <7227>; Joseph

<3130> my son <1121> [is] yet <5750> alive <2416>: I will go

<3212> and see <7200> him before <2962> I die <4191>.

Genesis 46

1. And Israel <3478> took his journey <5265> with all <3605>

that he had, and came <0935> to Beersheba <0884>, and offered

<2076> sacrifices <2077> unto the God <0430> of his father <1>

Isaac <3327>.

2 And God <0430> spake <0559> unto Israel <3478> in the visions

<4759> of the night <3915>, and said <0559>, Jacob <3290>, Jacob

<3290>. And he said <0559>, Here <2009> [am] I.

3 And he said <0559>, I [am] God <0430>, the God <0430> of thy

father <1>: fear <3372> not to go <3381> down <3381> into Egypt

<4714>; for I will there <8033> make <6213> of thee a great

<1419> nation <1471>:

4 I will go <3381> down <3381> with thee into Egypt <4714>; and

I will also <1571> surely bring <5927> thee up [again]: and

Joseph <3130> shall put <7896> his hand <3027> upon thine eyes

<5869>.

5. And Jacob <3290> rose <6965> up from Beersheba <0884>: and

the sons <1121> of Israel <3478> carried <5375> Jacob <3290>

their father <1>, and their little <2945> ones, and their wives

<0802>, in the wagons <5699> which <0834> Pharaoh <6547> had

sent <7971> to carry <5375> him.

6 And they took <3947> their cattle <4735>, and their goods

<7399>, which <0834> they had gotten <7408> in the land <0776>

of Canaan <3667>, and came <0935> into Egypt <4714>, Jacob

<3290>, and all <3605> his seed <2233> with him:

7 His sons <1121>, and his sons <1121>' sons <1121> with him,

his daughters <1363>, and his sons <1121>' daughters <1363>, and

all <3605> his seed <2233> brought <0935> he with him into Egypt

<4714>.

8 And these <0428> [are] the names <8034> of the children

<1121> of Israel <3478>, which came <0935> into Egypt <4714>,

Jacob <3290> and his sons <1121>: Reuben <7205>, Jacob's <3290>

firstborn <1060>.

woman.

11 And the sons <1121> of Levi <3878>; Gershon <1647>, Kohath

<0209>, and Shelah <7956>, and Pharez <6557>, and Zerah <2226>:

but Er <6147> and Onan <0209> died <4191> in the land <0776> of

Canaan <3667>. And the sons <1121> of Pharez <6557> were Hezron

15 These <0428> [be] the sons <1121> of Leah <3812>, which

<0834> she bare <3205> unto Jacob <3290> in Padanaram <6307>,

with his daughter <1323> Dinah <1783>: all <3605> the souls

<5315> of his sons <1121> and his daughters <1363> [were] thirty

18 These <0428> [are] the sons <1121> of Zilpah <2153>, whom

<0834> Laban <3837> gave <5414> to Leah <3812> his daughter

<1323>, and these <0428> she bare <3205> unto Jacob <3290>,

[even] sixteen souls <5315>.

19 The sons <1121> of Rachel <7354> Jacob's <3290> wife <0802>;

Joseph <3130>, and Benjamin <1144>.

20 And unto Joseph <3130> in the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>

were born <3205> Manasseh <4519> and Ephraim <0669>, which

26 All <3605> the souls <5315> that came <0935> with Jacob

<3290> into Egypt <4714>, which came <3318> out of his loins

<3409>, besides <0905> Jacob's <3290> sons <1121>' wives <0802>,

28. And he sent <7971> Judah <3063> before <6440> him unto

Joseph <3130>, to direct <3384> his face <6440> unto Goshen

<1657>; and they came <0935> into the land <0776> of Goshen

<1657>.

29 And Joseph <3130> made ready <0631> his chariot <4818>, and

went <5927> up to meet <7125> Israel <3478> his father <1>, to

Goshen <1657>, and presented <7200> himself unto him; and he

fell <5307> on <5921> his neck <6677>, and wept <1058> on <5921>

his neck <6677> a good <5750> while <5750>.

30 And Israel <3478> said <0559> unto Joseph <3130>, Now <6471>

let me die <4191>, since <0310> I have seen <7200> thy face

<6440>, because <3588> thou [art] yet <5750> alive <2416>.

31 And Joseph <3130> said <0559> unto his brethren <0251>, and

unto his father's <1> house <1004>, I will go <5927> up, and

shew <5046> Pharaoh <6547>, and say <0559> unto him, My brethren

<0251>, and my father's <1> house <1004>, which <0834> [were] in

the land <0776> of Canaan <3667>, are come <0935> unto me;

32 And the men <0582> [are] shepherds, for their trade <0582>

hath been <1961> to feed cattle <4735>; and they have brought

<0935> their flocks <6629>, and their herds <1241>, and all

<3605> that they have.

33 And it shall come <1961> to pass, when <3588> Pharaoh <6547>

shall call <7121> you, and shall say <0559>, What <4100> [is]

your occupation <4639>?

34 That ye shall say <0559>, Thy servants <5650>' trade <0582>

hath been <1961> about cattle <4735> from our youth <5271> even

until <5704> now <6258>, both <1571> we, [and] also <1571> our

fathers <1>: that ye may dwell <3427> in the land <0776> of

Goshen <1657>; for every <3605> shepherd [is] an abomination

<8441> unto the Egyptians <4714>.

Genesis 47

1. Then Joseph <3130> came <0935> and told <5046> Pharaoh

<6547>, and said <0559>, My father <1> and my brethren <0251>,

and their flocks <6629>, and their herds <1241>, and all <3605>

that they have, are come <0935> out of the land <0776> of Canaan

<3667>; and, behold <2009>, they [are] in the land <0776> of

Goshen <1657>.

2 And he took <3947> some <7097> of his brethren <0251>, [even]

five <2568> men <0582>, and presented <3322> them unto Pharaoh

<6547>.

3 And Pharaoh <6547> said <0559> unto his brethren <0251>, What

<4100> [is] your occupation <4639>? And they said <0559> unto

Pharaoh <6547>, Thy servants <5650> [are] shepherds, both <1571>

we, [and] also <1571> our fathers <1>.

4 They said <0559> moreover unto Pharaoh <6547>, For to sojourn

<1481> in the land <0776> are we come <0935>; for thy servants

<5650> have no <0369> pasture <4829> for their flocks <6629>;

for the famine <7458> [is] sore <3515> in the land <0776> of

Canaan <3667>: now <6258> therefore, we pray <4994> thee, let

thy servants <5650> dwell <3427> in the land <0776> of Goshen

<1657>.

5 And Pharaoh <6547> spake <0559> unto Joseph <3130>, saying

<0559>, Thy father <1> and thy brethren <0251> are come <0935>

unto thee:

6 The land <0776> of Egypt <4714> [is] before <6440> thee; in

the best <4315> of the land <0776> make thy father <1> and

brethren <0251> to dwell <3427>; in the land <0776> of Goshen

<1657> let them dwell <3427>: and if <0518> thou knowest <3045>

[any] men <0582> of activity <2428> among them, then make <7760>

them rulers <8269> over <5921> my cattle <4735>.

7 And Joseph <3130> brought <0935> in Jacob <3290> his father

<1>, and set <5975> him before <6440> Pharaoh <6547>: and Jacob

<3290> blessed <1288> Pharaoh <6547>.

8 And Pharaoh <6547> said <0559> unto Jacob <3290>, How <4100>

old [art] thou?

9 And Jacob <3290> said <0559> unto Pharaoh <6547>, The days

<3117> of the years <8141> of my pilgrimage <4033> [are] an

hundred <3967> and thirty <7970> years <8141>: few <4592> and

evil <7451> have the days <3117> of the years <8141> of my life

<2416> been <1961>, and have not attained <5381> unto the days

<3117> of the years <8141> of the life <2416> of my fathers <1>

in the days <3117> of their pilgrimage <4033>.

10 And Jacob <3290> blessed <1288> Pharaoh <6547>, and went

<3318> out from before <6440> Pharaoh <6547>.

11 And Joseph <3130> placed <3427> his father <1> and his

brethren <0251>, and gave <5414> them a possession <0272> in the

land <0776> of Egypt <4714>, in the best <4315> of the land

<0776>, in the land <0776> of Rameses <7486>, as Pharaoh <6547>

had commanded <6680>.

12 And Joseph <3130> nourished <3557> his father <1>, and his

brethren <0251>, and all <3605> his father's <1> household

<1004>, with bread <3899>, according <6310> to [their] families

<2945>.

13. And [there was] no <0369> bread <3899> in all <3605> the

land <0776>; for the famine <7458> [was] very <3966> sore <3515>,

so that the land <0776> of Egypt <4714> and [all] the land

<0776> of Canaan <3667> fainted <3856> by reason <6440> of the

famine <7458>.

14 And Joseph <3130> gathered <3950> up all <3605> the money

<3701> that was found <4672> in the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>,

and in the land <0776> of Canaan <3667>, for the corn <7668>

which <0834> they bought <7666>: and Joseph <3130> brought

<0935> the money <3701> into Pharaoh's <6547> house <1004>.

15 And when money <3701> failed <8552> in the land <0776> of

Egypt <4714>, and in the land <0776> of Canaan <3667>, all

<3605> the Egyptians <4714> came <0935> unto Joseph <3130>, and

said <0559>, Give <3051> us bread <3899>: for why <4100> should

we die <4191> in thy presence <5048>? for the money <3701>

faileth <0656>.

16 And Joseph <3130> said <0559>, Give <3051> your cattle

<4735>; and I will give <5414> you for your cattle <4735>, if

<0518> money <3701> fail <0656>.

17 And they brought <0935> their cattle <4735> unto Joseph

<3130>: and Joseph <3130> gave <5414> them bread <3899> [in

exchange] for horses <5483>, and for the flocks <6629>, and for

the cattle <4735> of the herds <1241>, and for the asses <2543>:

and he fed <5095> them with bread <3899> for all <3605> their

cattle <4735> for that year <8141>.

18 When that year <8141> was ended <8552>, they came <0935>

unto him the second <8145> year <8141>, and said <0559> unto him,

We will not hide <3582> [it] from my lord <0113>, how that our

money <3701> is spent <8552>; my lord <0113> also hath <0413>

our herds <4735> of cattle <0929>; there is not ought left

<7604> in the sight <6440> of my lord <0113>, but our bodies

<1472>, and our lands <0127>:

19 Wherefore <4100> shall we die <4191> before thine eyes

<5869>, both <1571> we and our land <0127>? buy <7069> us and

our land <0127> for bread <3899>, and we and our land <0127>

will be servants <5650> unto Pharaoh <6547>: and give <5414>

[us] seed <2233>, that we may live <2421>, and not die <4191>,

that the land <0127> be not desolate <3456>.

20 And Joseph <3130> bought <7069> all <3605> the land <0127>

of Egypt <4714> for Pharaoh <6547>; for the Egyptians <4714>

sold <4376> every man <0376> his field <7704>, because <3588>

the famine <7458> prevailed <2388> over <5921> them: so the land

<0776> became <1961> Pharaoh's <6547>.

21 And as for the people <5971>, he removed <5674> them to

cities <5892> from [one] end <7097> of the borders <1366> of

Egypt <4714> even to the [other] end <7097> thereof.

22 Only <7535> the land <0127> of the priests <3548> bought

<7069> he not; for the priests <3548> had a portion <2706>

[assigned them] of Pharaoh <6547>, and did eat <0398> their

portion <2706> which <0834> Pharaoh <6547> gave <5414> them:

wherefore they sold <4376> not their lands <0127>.

23 Then Joseph <3130> said <0559> unto the people <5971>,

Behold <2009>, I have bought <7069> you this day <3117> and your

land <0127> for Pharaoh <6547>: lo <1883>, [here is] seed <2233>

for you, and ye shall sow <2232> the land <0127>.

24 And it shall come <1961> to pass in the increase <8393>,

that ye shall give <5414> the fifth <2549> [part] unto Pharaoh

<6547>, and four <0702> parts <3027> shall be your own, for seed

<2233> of the field <7704>, and for your food <0400>, and for

them of your households <1004>, and for food <0398> for your

little <2945> ones.

25 And they said <0559>, Thou hast saved our lives <2421>: let

us find <4672> grace <2580> in the sight <5869> of my lord

<0113>, and we will be Pharaoh's <6547> servants <5650>.

26 And Joseph <3130> made <7760> it a law <2706> over <5921>

the land <0127> of Egypt <4714> unto this <2088> day <3117>,

[that] Pharaoh <6547> should have the fifth <2569> [part];

except <7535> the land <0127> of the priests <3548> only <0905>,

[which] became <1961> not Pharaoh's <6547>.

27. And Israel <3478> dwelt <3427> in the land <0776> of Egypt

<4714>, in the country <0776> of Goshen <1657>; and they had

possessions <0270> therein, and grew <6509>, and multiplied

<7235> exceedingly <3966>.

28 And Jacob <3290> lived <2421> in the land <0776> of Egypt

<4714> seventeen <7651> years <8141>: so the whole age <3117> of

Jacob <3290> was an hundred <3967> forty <0705> and seven <7651>

years <8141>.

29 And the time <3117> drew nigh <7126> that Israel <3478> must

die <4191>: and he called <7121> his son <1121> Joseph <3130>,

and said <0559> unto him, If <0518> now <4994> I have found

<4672> grace <2580> in thy sight <5869>, put <7760>, I pray

<4994> thee, thy hand <3027> under <8478> my thigh <3409>, and

deal <6213> kindly <2617> and truly <0571> with me; bury <6912>

me not, I pray <4994> thee, in Egypt <4714>:

30 But I will lie <7901> with my fathers <1>, and thou shalt

carry <5375> me out of Egypt <4714>, and bury <6912> me in their

buryingplace <6913>. And he said <0559>, I will do <6213> as

thou hast said <1697>.

31 And he said <0559>, Swear <7650> unto me. And he sware

<7650> unto him. And Israel <3478> bowed <7812> himself upon the

bed's <4296> head <7218>.

Genesis 48

1. And it came <1961> to pass after <0310> these <0428> things

<1697>, that [one] told <0559> Joseph <3130>, Behold <2009>, thy

father <1> [is] sick <2470>: and he took <3947> with him his two

<8147> sons <1121>, Manasseh <4519> and Ephraim <0669>.

2 And [one] told <5046> Jacob <3290>, and said <0559>, Behold

<2009>, thy son <1121> Joseph <3130> cometh <0935> unto thee:

and Israel <3478> strengthened <2388> himself, and sat <3427>

upon the bed <4296>.

3 And Jacob <3290> said <0559> unto Joseph <3130>, God <0410>

Almighty <7706> appeared <7200> unto me at Luz <3870> in the

land <0776> of Canaan <3667>, and blessed <1288> me,

4 And said <0559> unto me, Behold <2005>, I will make thee

fruitful <6509>, and multiply <7235> thee, and I will make

<5414> of thee a multitude <6951> of people <5971>; and will

give <5414> this <2063> land <0776> to thy seed <2233> after

<0310> thee [for] an everlasting <5769> possession <0272>.

5 And now <6258> thy two <8147> sons <1121>, Ephraim <0669> and

Manasseh <4519>, which were born <3205> unto thee in the land

<0776> of Egypt <4714> before <5704> I came <0935> unto thee

into Egypt <4714>, [are] mine; as Reuben <7205> and Simeon

<8095>, they shall be mine.

6 And thy issue <4138>, which <0834> thou begettest <3205>

after <0310> them, shall be thine, [and] shall be called <7121>

after <5921> the name <8034> of their brethren <0251> in their

inheritance <5159>.

7 And as for me, when I came <0935> from Padan <6307>, Rachel

<7354> died <4191> by me in the land <0776> of Canaan <3667> in

the way <1870>, when <5750> yet <5750> [there was] but a little

<3530> way <0776> to come <0935> unto Ephrath <0672>: and I

buried <6912> her there <8033> in the way <1870> of Ephrath

<0672>; the same <1931> [is] Bethlehem <1035>.

8. And Israel <3478> beheld <7200> Joseph's <3130> sons <1121>,

and said <0559>, Who <4310> [are] these <0428>?

9 And Joseph <3130> said <0559> unto his father <1>, They [are]

my sons <1121>, whom <0834> God <0430> hath given <5414> me in

this <2088> [place]. And he said <0559>, Bring <3947> them, I

pray <4994> thee, unto me, and I will bless <1288> them.

10 Now the eyes <5869> of Israel <3478> were dim <3513> for age

<2207>, [so that] he could <3201> not see <7200>. And he brought

<5066> them near <5066> unto him; and he kissed <5401> them, and

embraced <2263> them.

11 And Israel <3478> said <0559> unto Joseph <3130>, I had not

thought <6419> to see <7200> thy face <6440>: and, lo <2009>,

God <0430> hath shewed <7200> me also <1571> thy seed <2233>.

12 And Joseph <3130> brought <3318> them out from between

<5973> his knees <1290>, and he bowed <7812> himself with his

face <0639> to the earth <0776>.

13 And Joseph <3130> took <3947> them both <8147>, Ephraim

<0669> in his right <3225> hand <3225> toward Israel's <3478>

left <8040> hand <8040>, and Manasseh <4519> in his left <8040>

hand <8040> toward Israel's <3478> right <3225> hand <3225>, and

brought <5066> [them] near <5066> unto him.

14 And Israel <3478> stretched <7971> out his right <3225> hand

<3225>, and laid <7896> [it] upon Ephraim's <0669> head <7218>,

who <1931> [was] the younger <6810>, and his left <8040> hand

<8040> upon Manasseh's <4519> head <7218>, guiding his hands

<3027> wittingly <7919>; for Manasseh <4519> [was] the firstborn

<1060>.

15 And he blessed <1288> Joseph <3130>, and said <0559>, God

<0430>, before <6440> whom <0834> my fathers <1> Abraham <85>

and Isaac <3327> did walk <1980>, the God <0430> which fed

<7462> me all my life long <5750> unto this day <3117>,

16 The Angel <4397> which redeemed <1350> me from all <3605>

evil <7451>, bless <1288> the lads <5288>; and let my name

<8034> be named <7121> on them, and the name <8034> of my

fathers <1> Abraham <85> and Isaac <3327>; and let them grow

<1711> into a multitude <7230> in the midst <7130> of the earth

<0776>.

17 And when Joseph <3130> saw <7200> that his father <1> laid

<7896> his right <3225> hand <3027> upon the head <7218> of

Ephraim <0669>, it displeased him: and he held <8557> up his

father's <1> hand <3027>, to remove <5493> it from Ephraim's

<0669> head <7218> unto Manasseh's <4519> head <7218>.

18 And Joseph <3130> said <0559> unto his father <1>, Not so

<3651>, my father <1>: for this <2088> [is] the firstborn <1060>;

put <7760> thy right <3225> hand <3225> upon his head <7218>.

19 And his father <1> refused <3985>, and said <0559>, I know

<3045> [it], my son <1121>, I know <3045> [it]: he also <1571>

shall become <1961> a people <5971>, and he also <1571> shall be

great <1431>: but truly <0199> his younger <6996> brother <0251>

shall be greater <1431> than he, and his seed <2233> shall

become <1961> a multitude <4393> of nations <1471>.

20 And he blessed <1288> them that day <3117>, saying <0559>,

In thee shall Israel <3478> bless <1288>, saying <0559>, God

<0430> make <6213> thee as Ephraim <0669> and as Manasseh <4519>:

and he set <7760> Ephraim <0669> before <6440> Manasseh <4519>.

21 And Israel <3478> said <0559> unto Joseph <3130>, Behold

<2009>, I die <4191>: but God <0430> shall be with you, and

bring <7725> you again <7725> unto the land <0776> of your

fathers <1>.

22 Moreover I have given <5414> to thee one <0259> portion

<7926> above <5921> thy brethren <0251>, which <0834> I took

<3947> out of the hand <3027> of the Amorite <0567> with my

sword <2719> and with my bow <7198>.

Genesis 49

1. And Jacob <3290> called <7121> unto his sons <1121>, and

said <0559>, Gather <0622> yourselves together, that I may tell

<5046> you [that] which <0834> shall befall <7122> you in the

last <0319> days <3117>.

2 Gather <6908> yourselves together, and hear <8085>, ye sons

<1121> of Jacob <3290>; and hearken <8085> unto Israel <3478>

your father <1>.

3 Reuben <7205>, thou [art] my firstborn <1060>, my might

<3581>, and the beginning <7225> of my strength <0202>, the

excellency <3499> of dignity <7613>, and the excellency <3499>

of power <5794>:

4 Unstable <6349> as water <4325>, thou shalt not excel <3498>;

because <3588> thou wentest <5927> up to thy father's <1> bed

<4904>; then <0227> defiledst <2490> thou [it]: he went <5927>

up to my couch <3326>.

5. Simeon <8095> and Levi <3878> [are] brethren <0251>;

instruments <3627> of cruelty <2555> [are in] their habitations

<4380>.

6 O my soul <5315>, come <0935> not thou into their secret

<5475>; unto their assembly <6951>, mine honour <3519>, be not

thou united <3161>: for in their anger <0639> they slew <2026> a

man <0376>, and in their selfwill <7522> they digged <6131> down

<6131> a wall <7794>.

7 Cursed <0779> [be] their anger <0639>, for [it was] fierce

<5794>; and their wrath <5678>, for it was cruel <7185>: I will

divide <2505> them in Jacob <3290>, and scatter <6327> them in

Israel <3478>.

8. Judah <3063>, thou [art he] whom thy brethren <0251> shall

praise <3034>: thy hand <3027> [shall be] in the neck <6203> of

thine enemies <0341>; thy father's <1> children <1121> shall bow

<7812> down <7812> before thee.

9 Judah <3063> [is] a lion's <0738> whelp <1482>: from the prey

<2964>, my son <1121>, thou art gone <5927> up: he stooped

<3766> down, he couched <7257> as a lion <0738>, and as an old

<3833> lion <3833>; who <4310> shall rouse <6965> him up?

10 The sceptre <7626> shall not depart <5493> from Judah <3063>,

nor a lawgiver <2710> from between <0996> his feet <7272>,

until Shiloh <7886> come <0935>; and unto him [shall] the

gathering <3349> of the people <5971> [be].

11 Binding <0681> his foal <5895> unto the vine <1612>, and his

ass's <0860> colt <1121> unto the choice <8321> vine <8321>; he

washed <3526> his garments <3830> in wine <3196>, and his

clothes <5497> in the blood <1818> of grapes <6025>:

12 His eyes <5869> [shall be] red <2447> with wine <3196>, and

his teeth <8127> white <3836> with milk <2461>.

13. Zebulun <2074> shall dwell <7931> at the haven <2348> of

the sea <3220>; and he [shall be] for an haven <2348> of ships

<0591>; and his border <3411> [shall be] unto Zidon <6721>.

14 Issachar <3485> [is] a strong <1634> ass <2543> couching

<7257> down between <0996> two burdens <4942>:

15 And he saw <7200> that rest <4496> [was] good <2896>, and

the land <0776> that [it was] pleasant <5276>; and bowed <5186>

his shoulder <7926> to bear <5445>, and became <1961> a servant

<5647> unto tribute <4522>.

16 Dan <1835> shall judge <1777> his people <5971>, as one

<0259> of the tribes <7626> of Israel <3478>.

17 Dan <1835> shall be a serpent <5175> by the way <1870>, an

adder <8207> in the path <0734>, that biteth <5391> the horse

<5483> heels <6119>, so that his rider <7392> shall fall <5307>

backward <0268>.

18 I have waited <6960> for thy salvation <3444>, O LORD <3068>.

19 Gad <1410>, a troop <1416> shall overcome <1464> him: but he

shall overcome <1464> at the last <6119>.

20 Out of Asher <0836> his bread <3899> [shall be] fat <8082>,

and he shall yield <5414> royal <4428> dainties <4574>.

21 Naphtali <5321> [is] a hind <0355> let loose <7971>: he

giveth <5414> goodly <8233> words <0561>.

22. Joseph <3130> [is] a fruitful <6509> bough <1121>, [even] a

fruitful <6509> bough <1121> by a well <5869>; [whose] branches

<1121> run <6805> over <5921> the wall <7794>:

23 The archers <1167> have sorely <4843> grieved <4843> him,

and shot <7232> [at him], and hated <7852> him:

24 But his bow <7198> abode <3427> in strength <0386>, and the

arms <2220> of his hands <3027> were made strong <6339> by the

hands <3027> of the mighty <46> [God] of Jacob <3290>; (from

thence <8033> [is] the shepherd <7462>, the stone <68> of Israel

<3478>:)

25 [Even] by the God <0410> of thy father <1>, who shall help

<5826> thee; and by the Almighty <7706>, who shall bless <1288>

thee with blessings <1293> of heaven <8064> above <5921>,

blessings <1293> of the deep <8415> that lieth <7257> under

<8478>, blessings <1293> of the breasts <7699>, and of the womb

<7356>:

26 The blessings <1293> of thy father <1> have prevailed <1396>

above <5921> the blessings <1293> of my progenitors <2029> unto

the utmost bound <8379> of the everlasting <5769> hills <1389>:

they shall be on the head <7218> of Joseph <3130>, and on the

crown <6936> of the head <6936> of him that was separate <5139>

from his brethren <0251>.

27 Benjamin <1144> shall ravin <2963> [as] a wolf <2061>: in

the morning <1242> he shall devour <0398> the prey <5706>, and

at night <6153> he shall divide <2505> the spoil <7998>.

28. All <3605> these <0428> [are] the twelve tribes <7626> of

Israel <3478>: and this <2063> [is it] that their father <1>

spake <1696> unto them, and blessed <1288> them; every one

<0376> according <0834> to his blessing <1293> he blessed <1288>

them.

29 And he charged <6680> them, and said <0559> unto them, I am

to be gathered <0622> unto my people <5971>: bury <6912> me with

my fathers <1> in the cave <4631> that [is] in the field <7704>

of Ephron <6085> the Hittite <2850>,

30 In the cave <4631> that [is] in the field <7704> of

Machpelah <4375>, which <0834> [is] before Mamre <4471>, in the

land <0776> of Canaan <3667>, which <0834> Abraham <85> bought

<7069> with the field <7704> of Ephron <6085> the Hittite <2850>

for a possession <0272> of a buryingplace <6913>.

31 There <8033> they buried <6912> Abraham <85> and Sarah

<8283> his wife <0802>; there <8033> they buried <6912> Isaac

<3327> and Rebekah <7259> his wife <0802>; and there <8033> I

buried <6912> Leah <3812>.

32 The purchase <4736> of the field <7704> and of the cave

<4631> that [is] therein [was] from the children <1121> of Heth

<2845>.

33 And when Jacob <3290> had made an end <3615> of commanding

<6680> his sons <1121>, he gathered <0622> up his feet <7272>

into <0413> the bed <4296>, and yielded <1478> up the ghost

<1478>, and was gathered <0622> unto his people <5971>.

Genesis 50

1. And Joseph <3130> fell <5307> upon his father's <1> face

<6440>, and wept <1058> upon him, and kissed <5401> him.

2 And Joseph <3130> commanded <6680> his servants <5650> the

physicians <7495> to embalm <2590> his father <1>: and the

physicians <7495> embalmed <2590> Israel <3478>.

3 And forty <0705> days <3117> were fulfilled <4390> for him;

for so <3651> are fulfilled <4390> the days <3117> of those

which are embalmed <2590>: and the Egyptians <4714> mourned

<1058> for him threescore <7657> and ten days <3117>.

4 And when the days <3117> of his mourning <1086> were past

<5674>, Joseph <3130> spake <1696> unto the house <1004> of

Pharaoh <6547>, saying <0559>, If <0518> now <4994> I have found

<4672> grace <2580> in your eyes <5869>, speak <1696>, I pray

<4994> you, in the ears <0241> of Pharaoh <6547>, saying <0559>,

5 My father <1> made me swear <7650>, saying <0559>, Lo <2009>,

I die <4191>: in my grave <6913> which <0834> I have digged

<3738> for me in the land <0776> of Canaan <3667>, there <8033>

shalt thou bury <6912> me. Now <6258> therefore let me go <5927>

up, I pray <4994> thee, and bury <6912> my father <1>, and I

will come <7725> again <7725>.

6 And Pharaoh <6547> said <0559>, Go <5927> up, and bury <6912>

thy father <1>, according as he made thee swear <7650>.

7. And Joseph <3130> went <5927> up to bury <6912> his father

<1>: and with him went <5927> up all <3605> the servants <5650>

of Pharaoh <6547>, the elders <2205> of his house <1004>, and

all <3605> the elders <2205> of the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>,

8 And all <3605> the house <1004> of Joseph <3130>, and his

brethren <0251>, and his father's <1> house <1004>: only <7535>

their little <2945> ones, and their flocks <6629>, and their

herds <1241>, they left <5800> in the land <0776> of Goshen

<1657>.

9 And there went <5927> up with him both <1571> chariots <7393>

and horsemen <6571>: and it was a very <3966> great <3515>

company <4264>.

10 And they came <0935> to the threshingfloor <1637> of Atad

<0329>, which <0834> [is] beyond <5676> Jordan <3383>, and there

<8033> they mourned <5594> with a great <1419> and very <3966>

sore <3515> lamentation <4553>: and he made <6213> a mourning

<60> for his father <1> seven <7651> days <3117>.

11 And when the inhabitants <3427> of the land <0776>, the

Canaanites <3669>, saw <7200> the mourning <60> in the floor

<1637> of Atad <0329>, they said <0559>, This <2088> [is] a

grievous <3515> mourning <60> to the Egyptians <4714>: wherefore

the name <8034> of it was called <7121> Abelmizraim <67>, which

<0834> [is] beyond <5676> Jordan <3383>.

12 And his sons <1121> did <6213> unto him according <3651> as

he commanded <6680> them:

13 For his sons <1121> carried <5375> him into the land <0776>

of Canaan <3667>, and buried <6912> him in the cave <4631> of

the field <7704> of Machpelah <4375>, which <0834> Abraham <85>

bought <7069> with the field <7704> for a possession <0272> of a

buryingplace <6913> of Ephron <6085> the Hittite <2850>, before

Mamre <4471>.

14 And Joseph <3130> returned <7725> into Egypt <4714>, he, and

his brethren <0251>, and all <3605> that went <5927> up with him

to bury <6912> his father <1>, after <0310> he had buried <6912>

his father <1>.

15. And when Joseph's <3130> brethren <0251> saw <7200> that

their father <1> was dead <4191>, they said <0559>, Joseph

<3130> will peradventure <3863> hate <7852> us, and will

certainly requite <7725> us all <3605> the evil <7451> which

<0834> we did <1580> unto him.

16 And they sent a messenger <6680> unto Joseph <3130>, saying

<0559>, Thy father <1> did command <6680> before <6440> he died

<4194>, saying <0559>,

17 So <3541> shall ye say <0559> unto Joseph <3130>, Forgive

<5375>, I pray <0577> thee now <4994>, the trespass <6588> of

thy brethren <0251>, and their sin <2403>; for they did <1580>

unto thee evil <7451>: and now <4994>, we pray <4994> thee,

forgive <5375> the trespass <6588> of the servants <5650> of the

God <0430> of thy father <1>. And Joseph <3130> wept <1058> when

they spake <1696> unto him.

18 And his brethren <0251> also <1571> went <3212> and fell

<5307> down before his face <6440>; and they said <0559>, Behold

<2009>, we [be] thy servants <5650>.

19 And Joseph <3130> said <0559> unto them, Fear <3372> not:

for [am] I in the place of God <0430>?

20 But as for you, ye thought <2803> evil <7451> against <5921>

me; [but] God <0430> meant <2803> it unto good <2896>, to bring

<6213> to pass <6213>, as [it is] this <2088> day <3117>, to

save <2421> much <7227> people <5971> alive <2421>.

21 Now <6258> therefore fear <3372> ye not: I will nourish

<3557> you, and your little <2945> ones. And he comforted <5162>

them, and spake <1696> kindly unto them.

22. And Joseph <3130> dwelt <3427> in Egypt <4714>, he, and his

father's <1> house <1004>: and Joseph <3130> lived <2421> an

hundred <3967> and ten <6235> years <8141>.

23 And Joseph <3130> saw <7200> Ephraim's <0669> children

<1121> of the third <8029> [generation]: the children <1121>

also <1571> of Machir <4353> the son <1121> of Manasseh <4519>

were brought <3205> up upon Joseph's <3130> knees <1290>.

24 And Joseph <3130> said <0559> unto his brethren <0251>, I

die <4191>: and God <0430> will surely visit <6485> you, and

bring <5927> you out of this <2063> land <0776> unto the land

<0776> which <0834> he sware <7650> to Abraham <85>, to Isaac

<3327>, and to Jacob <3290>.

25 And Joseph <3130> took an oath <7650> of the children <1121>

of Israel <3478>, saying <0559>, God <0430> will surely visit

<6485> you, and ye shall carry <5927> up my bones <6106> from

hence <2088>.

26 So Joseph <3130> died <4191>, [being] an hundred <3967> and

ten <6235> years <8141> old <1121>: and they embalmed <2590> him,

and he was put <3455> in a coffin <0727> in Egypt <4714>.
