Genesis 1

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

heaven <08064> and the earth <0776>.

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

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

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

<07363> upon the face <06440> of the waters <04325>.

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

there was light <0216>.

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

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

from the darkness <02822>.

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

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

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

<0259> day <03117>.

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

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

<0914> the waters <04325> from the waters <04325>.

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

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

<08478> the firmament <07549> from the waters <04325> which

<0834> [were] above <05921> the firmament <07549>: and it was so

<03651>.

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

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

the second <08145> day <03117>.

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

<08478> the heaven <08064> be gathered <06960> together unto one

<0259> place <04725>, and let the dry <03004> [land] appear

<07200>: and it was so <03651>.

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

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

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

[it was] good <02896>.

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

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

<02232> seed <02233>, [and] the fruit <06529> tree <06086>

yielding <06213> fruit <06529> after his kind <04327>, whose

<0834> seed <02233> [is] in itself, upon the earth <0776>: and

it was so <03651>.

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

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

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

<06529>, whose <0834> seed <02233> [was] in itself, after his

kind <04327>: and God <0430> saw <07200> that [it was] good

<02896>.

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

third <07992> day <03117>.

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

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

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

<0226>, and for seasons <04150>, and for days <03117>, and years

<08141>:

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

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

and it was so <03651>.

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

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

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

rule <04475> the night <03915>: [he made] the stars <03556> also.

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

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

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

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

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

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

fourth <07243> day <03117>.

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

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

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

may fly <05774> above <05921> the earth <0776> in the open

<06440> firmament <07549> of heaven <08064>.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

waters <04325> in the seas <03220>, and let fowl <05775>

multiply <07235> in the earth <0776>.

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

fifth <02549> day <03117>.

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

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

his kind <04327>, cattle <0929>, and creeping <07431> thing, and

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

was so <03651>.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

cattle <0929>, and over all <03605> the earth <0776>, and over

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

the earth <0776>.

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

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

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

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

<0559> unto them, Be fruitful <06509>, and multiply <07235>, and

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

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

and over the fowl <05775> of the air <08064>, and over every

<03605> living <02416> thing that moveth <07430> upon the earth

<0776>.

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

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

<02233>, which <0834> [is] upon the face <06440> of all <03605>

the earth <0776>, and every <03605> tree <06086>, in the which

<0834> [is] the fruit <06529> of a tree <06086> yielding <02232>

seed <02233>; to you it shall be for meat <0402>.

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

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

<03605> thing that creepeth <07430> upon the earth <0776>,

wherein <0834> [there is] life <02416>, [I have given] every

<03605> green <03418> herb <06212> for meat <0402>: and it was

so <03651>.

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

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

<02896>. And the evening <06153> and the morning <01242> were

the sixth <08345> day <03117>.

Genesis 2

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

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

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

<03615> his work <04399> which <0834> he had made <06213>; and

he rested <07673> on the seventh <07637> day <03117> from all

<03605> his work <04399> which <0834> he had made <06213>.

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

<03117>, and sanctified <06942> it: because <03588> that in it

he had rested <07673> from all <03605> his work <04399> which

<0834> God <0430> created <01254> and made <06213>.

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

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

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

the earth <0776> and the heavens <08064>,

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

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

<06212> of the field <07704> before <02962> it grew <06779>: for

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

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

<05647> the ground <0127>.

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

<0776>, and watered <08248> the whole face <06440> of the ground

<0127>.

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

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

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

man <0120> became <01961> a living <02416> soul <05315>.

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

<01588> eastward <06924> in Eden <05731>; and there <08033> he

put <07760> the man <0120> whom <0834> he had formed <03335>.

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

<0430> to grow <06779> every <03605> tree <06086> that is

pleasant <02530> to the sight <04758>, and good <02896> for food

<03978>; the tree <06086> of life <02416> also in the midst

<08432> of the garden <01588>, and the tree <06086> of knowledge

<01847> of good <02896> and evil <07451>.

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

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

parted <06504>, and became <01961> into four <0702> heads

<07218>.

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

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

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

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

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

<068>.

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

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

<05437> the whole land <0776> of Ethiopia <03568>.

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

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

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

<05104> [is] Euphrates <06578>.

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

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

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

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

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

garden <01588> thou mayest freely eat <0398>:

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

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

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

surely die <04191>.

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

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

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

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

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

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

<0935> [them] unto Adam <0120> to see <07200> what <04100> he

would call <07121> them: and whatsoever Adam <0120> called

<07121> every living <02416> creature <05315>, that [was] the

name <08034> thereof.

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

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

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

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

<05828> for him.

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

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

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

<05462> up the flesh <01320> instead <08478> thereof;

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

<0430> had taken <03947> from man <0120>, made <01129> he a

woman <0802>, and brought <0935> her unto the man <0120>.

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

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

<01320>: she shall be called <07121> Woman <0802>, because

<03588> she was taken <03947> out of Man <0376>.

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

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

<0802>: and they shall be one <0259> flesh <01320>.

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

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

Genesis 3

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

<03605> beast <02416> of the field <07704> which <0834> the LORD

<03068> God <0430> had made <06213>. And he said <0559> unto the

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

<0398> of every <03605> tree <06086> of the garden <01588>?

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

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

the garden <01588>:

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

[is] in the midst <08432> of the garden <01588>, God <0430> hath

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

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

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

Ye shall not surely die <04191>:

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

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

<06491>, and ye shall be as gods <0430>, knowing <03045> good

<02896> and evil <07451>.

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

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

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

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

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

<01571> unto her husband <0376> with her; and he did eat <0398>.

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

<06491>, and they knew <03045> that they [were] naked <05903>;

and they sewed <08609> fig <08384> leaves <02529> together, and

made <06213> themselves <01992> aprons <02290>.

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

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

<07307> of the day <03117>: and Adam <0120> and his wife <0802>

hid <02244> themselves from the presence <06440> of the LORD

<03068> God <0430> amongst <08432> the trees <06086> of the

garden <01588>.

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

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

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

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

[was] naked <05903>; and I hid <02244> myself.

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

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

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

eat <0398>?

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

<0834> thou gavest <05414> [to be] with me, she gave <05414> me

of the tree <06086>, and I did eat <0398>.

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

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

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

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

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

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

<02063>, thou [art] cursed <0779> above all <03605> cattle

<0929>, and above every <03605> beast <02416> of the field

<07704>; upon thy belly <01512> shalt thou go <03212>, and dust

<06083> shalt thou eat <0398> all <03605> the days <03117> of

thy life <02416>:

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

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

her seed <02233>; it shall bruise <07779> thy head <07218>, and

thou shalt bruise <07779> his heel <06119>.

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

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

in sorrow <06089> thou shalt bring <03205> forth <03205>

children <01121>; and thy desire <08669> [shall be] to thy

husband <0376>, and he shall rule <04910> over thee.

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

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

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

commanded <06680> thee, saying <0559>, Thou shalt not eat <0398>

of it: cursed <0779> [is] the ground <0127> for thy sake <05668>;

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

days <03117> of thy life <02416>;

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

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

herb <06212> of the field <07704>;

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

<0398> bread <03899>, till <05704> thou return <07725> unto the

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

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

<07725>.

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

<08034> Eve <02332>; because <03588> she was the mother <0517>

of all <03605> living <02416>.

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

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

and clothed <03847> them.

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

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

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

<06435> he put <07971> forth <07971> his hand <03027>, and take

<03947> also <01571> of the tree <06086> of life <02416>, and

eat <0398>, and live <02425> for ever <05769>:

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

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

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

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

<07931> at the east <06924> of the garden <01588> of Eden

<05731> Cherubims <03742>, and a flaming <03858> sword <02719>

which turned <02015> every way, to keep <08104> the way of the

tree <06086> of life <02416>.

Genesis 4

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

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

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

LORD <03068>.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

<01893> and to his offering <04503>:

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

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

and his countenance <06440> fell <05307>.

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

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

countenance <06440> fallen <05307>?

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

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

<02403> lieth <07257> at the door <06607>. And unto thee [shall

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

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

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

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

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

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

<0335> [is] Abel <01893> thy brother <0251>? And he said <0559>,

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

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

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

<06817> unto me from the ground <0127>.

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

<0127>, which <0834> hath opened <06475> her mouth <06310> to

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

<03027>;

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

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

strength <03581>; a fugitive <05128> and a vagabond <05110>

shalt thou be in the earth <0776>.

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

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

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

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

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

<05128> and a vagabond <05110> in the earth <0776>; and it shall

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

<04672> me shall slay <02026> me.

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

<03767> whosoever <03605> slayeth <02026> Cain <07014>,

vengeance <05358> shall be taken on him sevenfold <07659>. And

the LORD <03068> set <07760> a mark <0226> upon Cain <07014>,

lest <01115> any <03605> finding <04672> him should kill <05221>

him.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

<01121>, Enoch <02585>.

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

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

<04232> begat <03205> Methusael <04967>: and Methusael <04967>

begat <03205> Lamech <03929>.

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

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

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

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

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

such as have] cattle <04735>.

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

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

harp <03658> and organ <05748>.

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

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

<02794> in brass <05178> and iron <01270>: and the sister <0269>

of Tubalcain <08423> [was] Naamah <05279>.

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

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

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

<0565>: for I have slain <02026> a man <0376> to my wounding

<06482>, and a young <03206> man to my hurt <02250>.

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

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

sevenfold <07659>.

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

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

<08034> Seth <08352>: For God <0430>, [said she], hath appointed

<07896> me another <0312> seed <02233> instead <08478> of Abel

<01893>, whom <03588> Cain <07014> slew <02026>.

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

<03205> a son <01121>; and he called <07121> his name <08034>

Enos <0583>: then <0227> began <02490> men <0582> to call

<07121> upon the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>.

Genesis 5

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

<08435> of Adam <0120>. In the day <03117> that God <0430>

created <01254> man <0120>, in the likeness <01823> of God

<0430> made <06213> he him;

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

blessed <01288> them, and called <07121> their name <08034> Adam

<0120>, in the day <03117> when they were created <01254>.

3 And Adam <0121> lived <02421> an hundred <03967> and thirty

<01323>:

years <08141>:

24 And Enoch <02585> walked <01980> with God <0430>: and he

<01121>:

29 And he called <07121> his name <08034> Noah <05146>, saying

<0559>, This <02088> [same] shall comfort <05162> us concerning

our work <04639> and toil <06093> of our hands <03027>, because

<04480> of the ground <0127> which <0834> the LORD <03068> hath

cursed <0779>.

Genesis 6

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

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

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

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

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

and they took <03947> them wives <0802> of all <03605> which

<0834> they chose <0977>.

3. And the LORD <03068> said <0559>, My spirit <07307> shall

not always <05769> strive <01777> with man <0120>, for that he

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

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

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

<01992> days <03117>; and also <01571> after <0310> that, when

<0834> the sons <01121> of God <0430> came <0935> in unto the

daughters <01363> of men <0120>, and they bare <03205>

[children] to them, the same <01992> [became] mighty <01368> men

<0120> which <0834> [were] of old <05769>, men <0582> of renown

<08034>.

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

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

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

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

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

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

him at <0413> his heart <03820>.

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

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

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

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

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

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

<05869> of the LORD <03068>.

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

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

in his generations <08435>, [and] Noah <05146> walked <01980>

with God <0430>.

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

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

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

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

violence <02555>.

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

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

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

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

<07093> of all <03605> flesh <01320> is come <0935> before

<06440> me; for the earth <0776> is filled <04390> with violence

<02555> through <06440> them; and, behold <02005>, I will

destroy <07843> them with the earth <0776>.

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

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

<08392>, and shalt pitch <03724> it within <01004> and without

<02351> with pitch <03724>.

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

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

[shall be] three <07969> hundred <03967> cubits <0520>, the

breadth <07341> of it fifty <02572> cubits <0520>, and the

height <06967> of it thirty <07970> cubits <0520>.

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

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

<04605>; and the door <06607> of the ark <08392> shalt thou set

<07760> in the side <06654> thereof; [with] lower <08482>,

second <08145>, and third <07992> [stories] shalt thou make

<06213> it.

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

<03999> of waters <04325> upon the earth <0776>, to destroy

<07843> all <03605> flesh <01320>, wherein <0834> [is] the

breath <07307> of life <02416>, from under <08478> heaven

<08064>; [and] every <03605> thing that [is] in the earth <0776>

shall die <01478>.

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

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

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

wives <0802> with thee.

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

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

bring <0935> into <0413> the ark <08392>, to keep <08104> [them]

alive <02421> with thee; they shall be male <02145> and female

<05347>.

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

<0929> after their kind <04327>, of every <03605> creeping

<07431> thing of the earth <0127> after his kind <04327>, two

<08147> of every <03605> [sort] shall come <0935> unto thee, to

keep <08104> [them] alive <02421>.

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

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

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

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

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

Genesis 7

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

<0935> thou and all <03605> thy house <01004> into <0413> the

ark <08392>; for thee have I seen <07200> righteous <06662>

before <06440> me in this <02088> generation <01755>.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

earth <0776>.

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

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

<03117> and forty <0705> nights <03915>; and every <03605>

living substance <03351> that I have made <06213> will I destroy

<04229> from off <05921> the face <06440> of the earth <0127>.

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

the LORD <03068> commanded <06680> him.

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

<08141> old <01121> when the flood <03999> of waters <04325> was

upon the earth <0776>.

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

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

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

<04325> of the flood <03999>.

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

[are] not clean <02889>, and of fowls <05775>, and of every

<03605> thing that creepeth <07430> upon the earth <0127>,

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

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

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

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

<03117>, that the waters <04325> of the flood <03999> were upon

the earth <0776>.

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

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

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

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

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

windows <0699> of heaven <08064> were opened <06605>.

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

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

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

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

<01121> of Noah <05146>, and Noah's <05146> wife <0802>, and the

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

<0413> the ark <08392>;

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

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

<04327>, and every <03605> creeping <07431> thing that creepeth

<07430> upon the earth <0776> after his kind <04327>, and every

<03605> fowl <05775> after his kind <04327>, every <03605> bird

<06833> of every <03605> sort <03671>.

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

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

<01320>, wherein <0834> [is] the breath <07307> of life <02416>.

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

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

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

in.

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

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

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

above <05921> the earth <0776>.

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

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

ark <08392> went <03212> upon the face <06440> of the waters

<04325>.

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

<03966> upon the earth <0776>; and all <03605> the high <01364>

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

heaven <08064>, were covered <03680>.

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

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

<03680>.

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

<07430> upon the earth <0776>, both of fowl <05775>, and of

cattle <0929>, and of beast <02416>, and of every <03605>

creeping <08318> thing that creepeth <08317> upon the earth

<0776>, and every <03605> man <0120>:

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

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

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

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

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

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

<07431> things, and the fowl <05775> of the heaven <08064>; and

they were destroyed <04229> from the earth <0776>: and Noah

<05146> only <0389> remained <07604> [alive], and they that

[were] with him in the ark <08392>.

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

<0776> an hundred <03967> and fifty <02572> days <03117>.

Genesis 8

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

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

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

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

the waters <04325> asswaged <07918>;

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

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

rain <01653> from heaven <08064> was restrained <03607>;

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

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

hundred <03967> and fifty <02572> days <03117> the waters

<04325> were abated <02637>.

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

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

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

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

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

<06224> [month], on the first <0259> [day <03117>] of the month

<02320>, were the tops <07218> of the mountains <02022> seen

<07200>.

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

<0705> days <03117>, that Noah <05146> opened <06605> the window

<02474> of the ark <08392> which <0834> he had made <06213>:

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

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

waters <04325> were dried <03001> up from off <05921> the earth

<0776>.

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

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

<05921> the face <06440> of the ground <0127>;

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

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

<07725> unto him into <0413> the ark <08392>, for the waters

<04325> [were] on <05921> the face <06440> of the whole <03605>

earth <0776>: then he put <07971> forth <07971> his hand <03027>,

and took <03947> her, and pulled <04026> her in unto him into

<0413> the ark <08392>.

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

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

<03123> out of the ark <08392>;

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

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

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

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

<05921> the earth <0776>.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

earth <0776>: and Noah <05146> removed <05493> the covering

<04372> of the ark <08392>, and looked <07200>, and, behold

<02009>, the face <06440> of the ground <0127> was dry <02720>.

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

<07651> and twentieth <06242> day <03117> of the month <02320>,

was the earth <0776> dried <03001>.

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

<0559>,

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

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

<0802> with thee.

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

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

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

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

earth <0776>; that they may breed <08317> abundantly <08317> in

the earth <0776>, and be fruitful <06509>, and multiply <07235>

upon the earth <0776>.

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

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

with him:

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

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

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

<04940>, went <03318> forth <03318> out of the ark <08392>.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

imagination <03336> of man's <0120> heart <03820> [is] evil

<07451> from his youth <05271>; neither will I again <03254>

smite <05221> any <05750> more <05750> every <03605> thing

living <02416>, as I have done <06213>.

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

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

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

<03915> shall not cease <07673>.

Genesis 9

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

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

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

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

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

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

that moveth <07430> [upon] the earth <0127>, and upon all

<03605> the fishes <01709> of the sea <03220>; into your hand

<03027> are they delivered <05414>.

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

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

have I given <05414> you all <03605> things.

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

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

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

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

<02416> will I require <01875> it, and at the hand <03027> of

man <0120>; at the hand <03027> of every man's <0120> brother

<0251> will I require <01875> the life <05315> of man <0120>.

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

<0120> shall his blood <01818> be shed <08210>: for in the image

<06754> of God <0430> made <06213> he man <0120>.

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

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

and multiply <07235> therein.

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

sons <01121> with him, saying <0559>,

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

<01285> with you, and with your seed <02233> after <0310> you;

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

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

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

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

<03605> beast <02416> of the earth <0776>.

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

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

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

<03999>; neither <03808> shall there any <05750> more <05750> be

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

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

<0226> of the covenant <01285> which <0834> I make <05414>

between <0996> me and you and every <03605> living <02416>

creature <05315> that [is] with you, for perpetual <05769>

generations <01755>:

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

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

<0996> me and the earth <0776>.

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

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

<07198> shall be seen <07200> in the cloud <06051>:

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

<0834> [is] between <0996> me and you and every <03605> living

<02416> creature <05315> of all <03605> flesh <01320>; and the

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

flood <03999> to destroy <07843> all <03605> flesh <01320>.

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

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

everlasting <05769> covenant <01285> between <0996> God <0430>

and every <03605> living <02416> creature <05315> of all <03605>

flesh <01320> that [is] upon the earth <0776>.

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

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

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

<01320> that [is] upon the earth <0776>.

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

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

<02526>, and Japheth <03315>: and Ham <02526> [is] the father

<01> of Canaan <03667>.

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

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

overspread <05310>.

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

he planted <05193> a vineyard <03754>:

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

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

<0168>.

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

<07200> the nakedness <06172> of his father <01>, and told

<05046> his two <08147> brethren <0251> without <02351>.

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

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

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

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

<06440> [were] backward <0322>, and they saw <07200> not their

father's <01> nakedness <06172>.

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

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

<06213> unto him.

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

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

brethren <0251>.

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

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

servant <05650>.

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

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

Canaan <03667> shall be his servant <05650>.

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

<03999> three <07969> hundred <03967> and fifty <02572> years

<08141>.

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

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

died <04191>.

Genesis 10

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

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

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

<0310> the flood <03999>.

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

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

<08422>, and Meshech <04902>, and Tiras <08493>.

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

Riphath <07384>, and Togarmah <08425>.

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

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

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

<01471> divided <06504> in their lands <0776>; every <0376> one

<0376> after his tongue <03956>, after their families <04940>,

in their nations <01471>.

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

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

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

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

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

<07614>, and Dedan <01719>.

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

<02490> to be a mighty <01368> one in the earth <0776>.

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

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

<05248> the mighty <01368> hunter <06718> before <06440> the

LORD <03068>.

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

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

in the land <0776> of Shinar <08152>.

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

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

<05892> Rehoboth <07344>, and Calah <03625>,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

firstborn <01060>, and Heth <02845>,

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

Girgasite <01622>,

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

Sinite <05513>,

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

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

<04940> of the Canaanites <03669> spread <06327> abroad <05310>.

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

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

<05804>; as thou goest <0935>, unto Sodom <05467>, and Gomorrah

<06017>, and Admah <0126>, and Zeboim <06636>, even unto Lasha

<03962>.

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

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

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

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

<03605> the children <01121> of Eber <05677>, the brother <0251>

of Japheth <03315> the elder <01419>, even <01571> to him were

[children] born <03205>.

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

Asshur <0804>, and Arphaxad <0775>, and Lud <03865>, and Aram

<0758>.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

<03355>.

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

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

<06924>.

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

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

lands <0776>, after their nations <01471>.

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

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

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

divided <05504> in the earth <0776> after <0310> the flood

<03999>.

Genesis 11

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

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

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

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

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

<08033>.

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

<03051> to, let us make brick <03835>, and burn <08313> them

throughly. And they had <01961> brick <03843> for stone <068>,

and slime <02564> had <01961> they for morter <02563>.

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

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

reach] unto heaven <08064>; and let us make <06213> us a name

<08034>, lest <06435> we be scattered <06327> abroad <06527>

upon the face <06440> of the whole <03605> earth <0776>.

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

<07200> the city <05892> and the tower <04026>, which <0834> the

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

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

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

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

<06213>: and now <06258> nothing will be restrained <01219> from

them, which they have imagined <02161> to do <06213>.

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

<08033> confound <01101> their language <08193>, that they may

not understand <08085> one <0376> another's <07453> speech

<08193>.

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

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

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

city <05892>.

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

<0894>; because <03588> the LORD <03068> did there <08033>

confound <01101> the language <08193> of all <03605> the earth

<0776>: and from thence <08033> did the LORD <03068> scatter

<06327> them abroad <06527> upon the face <06440> of all <03605>

the earth <0776>.

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

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

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

after <0310> the flood <03999>:

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

<03205> Arphaxad <0775> five <02568> hundred <03967> years

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

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

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

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

<03205> Salah <07974> four <0702> hundred <03967> and three

<07969> years <08141>, and begat <03205> sons <01121> and

daughters <01363>.

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

<08141>, and begat <03205> Eber <05677>:

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

<03205> Eber <05677> four <0702> hundred <03967> and three

<07969> years <08141>, and begat <03205> sons <01121> and

daughters <01363>.

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

<07970> years <08141>, and begat <03205> Peleg <06389>:

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

<03205> Peleg <06389> four <0702> hundred <03967> and thirty

<07970> years <08141>, and begat <03205> sons <01121> and

daughters <01363>.

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

<08141>, and begat <03205> Reu <07466>:

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

<03205> Reu <07466> two <08147> hundred <03967> and nine <08672>

years <08141>, and begat <03205> sons <01121> and daughters

<01363>.

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

<07970> years <08141>, and begat <03205> Serug <08286>:

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

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

years <08141>, and begat <03205> sons <01121> and daughters

<01363>.

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

<08141>, and begat <03205> Nahor <05152>:

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

<03205> Nahor <05152> two <08147> hundred <03967> years <08141>,

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

24 And Nahor <05152> lived <02421> nine <08672> and twenty

<06242> years <08141>, and begat <03205> Terah <08646>:

25 And Nahor <05152> lived <02421> after <0310> he begat

<03205> Terah <08646> an hundred <03967> and nineteen years

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

26 And Terah <08646> lived <02421> seventy <07657> years

<08141>, and begat <03205> Abram <087>, Nahor <05152>, and Haran

<02309>.

27. Now these <0428> [are] the generations <08435> of Terah

<08646>: Terah <08646> begat <03205> Abram <087>, Nahor <05152>,

and Haran <02309>; and Haran <02309> begat <03205> Lot <03876>.

28 And Haran <02309> died <04191> before his father <01> Terah

<08646> in the land <0776> of his nativity <04138>, in Ur <0218>

of the Chaldees <03778>.

29 And Abram <087> and Nahor <05152> took <03947> them wives

<0802>: the name <08034> of Abram's <087> wife <0802> [was]

Sarai <08297>; and the name <08034> of Nahor's <05152> wife

<0802>, Milcah <04435>, the daughter <01323> of Haran <02309>,

the father <01> of Milcah <04435>, and the father <01> of Iscah

<03252>.

30 But Sarai <08297> was barren <06135>; she [had] no <0369>

child <02056>.

31 And Terah <08646> took <03947> Abram <087> his son <01121>,

and Lot <03876> the son of Haran <02309> his son's <01121> son,

and Sarai <08297> his daughter <03618> in law <03618>, his son

Abram's <087> wife <0802>; and they went <03318> forth <03318>

with them from Ur <0218> of the Chaldees <03778>, to go <03212>

into <0413> the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>; and they came

<0935> unto Haran <02771>, and dwelt <03427> there <08033>.

32 And the days <03117> of Terah <08646> were two <08147>

hundred <03967> and five <02568> years <08141>: and Terah

<08646> died <04191> in Haran <02771>.

Genesis 12

1. Now the LORD <03068> had said <0559> unto Abram <087>, Get

<03212> thee out of thy country <0776>, and from thy kindred

<04138>, and from thy father's <01> house <01004>, unto a land

<0776> that I will shew <07200> thee:

2 And I will make <06213> of thee a great <01419> nation

<01471>, and I will bless <01288> thee, and make thy name

<08034> great <01431>; and thou shalt be a blessing <01293>:

3 And I will bless <01288> them that bless <01288> thee, and

curse <0779> him that curseth <07043> thee: and in thee shall

all <03605> families <04940> of the earth <0127> be blessed

<01288>.

4. So Abram <087> departed <03212>, as the LORD <03068> had

spoken <01696> unto him; and Lot <03876> went <03212> with him:

and Abram <087> [was] seventy <07657> and five <02568> years

<08141> old <01121> when he departed <03318> out of Haran

<02771>.

5 And Abram <087> took <03947> Sarai <08297> his wife <0802>,

and Lot <03876> his brother's <0251> son <01121>, and all

<03605> their substance <07399> that they had gathered <07408>,

and the souls <05315> that they had gotten <06213> in Haran

<02771>; and they went <03318> forth <03318> to go <03212> into

<0413> the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>; and into <0413> the

land <0776> of Canaan <03667> they came <0935>.

6. And Abram <087> passed <05674> through the land <0776> unto

the place <04725> of Sichem <07927>, unto the plain <0436> of

Moreh <04176>. And the Canaanite <03669> [was] then <0227> in

the land <0776>.

7 And the LORD <03068> appeared <07200> unto Abram <087>, and

said <0559>, Unto thy seed <02233> will I give <05414> this

<02063> land <0776>: and there <08033> builded <01129> he an

altar <04196> unto the LORD <03068>, who <04310> appeared

<07200> unto him.

8 And he removed <06275> from thence <08033> unto a mountain

<02022> on the east <06924> of Bethel <01008>, and pitched

<05186> his tent <0168>, [having] Bethel <01008> on the west

<03220>, and Hai <05857> on the east <06924>: and there <08033>

he builded <01129> an altar <04196> unto the LORD <03068>, and

called <07121> upon the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>.

9 And Abram <087> journeyed <05265>, going <01980> on still

<05265> toward the south <05045>.

10. And there was a famine <07458> in the land <0776>: and

Abram <087> went <03381> down <03381> into <0413> Egypt <04714>

to sojourn <01481> there <08033>; for the famine <07458> [was]

grievous <03515> in the land <0776>.

11 And it came <01961> to pass, when <0834> he was come

<07126> near <07126> to enter <0935> into <0935> Egypt <04714>,

that he said <0559> unto Sarai <08297> his wife <0802>, Behold

<02009> now <04994>, I know <03045> that thou [art] a fair

<03303> woman <0802> to look <04258> upon:

12 Therefore it shall come <0935> to pass, when <03588> the

Egyptians <04713> shall see <07200> thee, that they shall say

<0559>, This <02063> [is] his wife <0802>: and they will kill

<02026> me, but they will save <02421> thee alive <02421>.

13 Say <0559>, I pray <04994> thee, thou [art] my sister

<0269>: that it may be well <03190> with me for thy sake <05668>;

and my soul <05315> shall live <02421> because <01558> of thee.

14. And it came <01961> to pass, that, when Abram <087> was

come <0935> into Egypt <04714>, the Egyptians <04713> beheld

<07200> the woman <0802> that she [was] very <03966> fair

<03303>.

15 The princes <08269> also of Pharaoh <06547> saw <07200> her,

and commended <01984> her before <0413> Pharaoh <06547>: and

the woman <0802> was taken <03947> into Pharaoh's <06547> house

<01004>.

16 And he entreated Abram <087> well <03190> for her sake

<05668>: and he had <01961> sheep <06629>, and oxen <01241>, and

he asses <02543>, and menservants <05650>, and maidservants

<08198>, and she asses <0860>, and camels <01581>.

17 And the LORD <03068> plagued <05060> Pharaoh <06547> and

his house <01004> with great <01419> plagues <05061> because

<01697> of Sarai <08297> Abram's <087> wife <0802>.

18 And Pharaoh <06547> called <07121> Abram <087>, and said

<0559>, What <04100> [is] this <02063> [that] thou hast done

<06213> unto me? why <04100> didst thou not tell <05046> me that

she [was] thy wife <0802>?

19 Why <04100> saidst <0559> thou, She [is] my sister <0269>?

so I might have taken <03947> her to me to wife <0802>: now

<06258> therefore behold <02009> thy wife <0802>, take <03947>

[her], and go <03212> thy way.

20 And Pharaoh <06547> commanded <06680> [his] men <0582>

concerning him: and they sent <07971> him away, and his wife

<0802>, and all <03605> that he had.

Genesis 13

1. And Abram <087> went <05927> up out of Egypt <04714>, he,

and his wife <0802>, and all <03605> that he had, and Lot

<03876> with him, into the south <05045>.

2 And Abram <087> [was] very <03966> rich <03513> in cattle

<04735>, in silver <03701>, and in gold <02091>.

3 And he went <03212> on his journeys <04550> from the south

<05045> even to Bethel <01008>, unto the place <04725> where

<0834> his tent <0168> had been <01961> at the beginning <08462>,

between <0996> Bethel <01008> and Hai <05857>;

4 Unto the place <04725> of the altar <04196>, which <0834> he

had made there <08033> at the first <07223>: and there <08033>

Abram <087> called <07121> on the name <08034> of the LORD

<03068>.

5. And Lot <03876> also <01571>, which went <01980> with Abram

<087>, had <01961> flocks <06629>, and herds <01241>, and tents

<0168>.

6 And the land <0776> was not able <05375> to bear <05375>

them, that they might dwell <03427> together <03162>: for their

substance <07399> was great <07227>, so that they could <03201>

not dwell <03427> together <03162>.

7 And there was a strife <07379> between <0996> the herdmen

<07462> of Abram's <087> cattle <04735> and the herdmen <07462>

of Lot's <03876> cattle <04735>: and the Canaanite <03669> and

the Perizzite <06522> dwelled <03427> then <0227> in the land

<0776>.

8 And Abram <087> said <0559> unto Lot <03876>, Let there be

no <0408> strife <04808>, I pray <04994> thee, between <0996> me

and thee, and between <0996> my herdmen <07462> and thy herdmen

<07462>; for we [be] brethren <0251>.

9 [Is] not the whole <03605> land <0776> before <06440> thee?

separate <06504> thyself, I pray <04994> thee, from me: if

<0518> [thou wilt take <03947>] the left <08040> hand <08041>,

then I will go to the right <03231>; or if <0518> [thou depart]

to the right <03225> hand <03225>, then I will go to the left

<08041>.

10. And Lot <03876> lifted <05375> up his eyes <05869>, and

beheld <07200> all <03605> the plain <03603> of Jordan <03383>,

that it [was] well watered <04945> every <03605> where, before

<06440> the LORD <03068> destroyed <07843> Sodom <05467> and

Gomorrah <06017>, [even] as the garden <01588> of the LORD

<03068>, like the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, as thou comest

<0935> unto Zoar <06820>.

11 Then Lot <03876> chose <0977> him all <03605> the plain

<03603> of Jordan <03383>; and Lot <03876> journeyed <05265>

east <06924>: and they separated <06504> themselves the one

<0376> from the other <0251>.

12 Abram <087> dwelled <03427> in the land <0776> of Canaan

<03667>, and Lot <03876> dwelled <03427> in the cities <05892>

of the plain <03603>, and pitched <0167> [his] tent <0167>

toward <05704> Sodom <05467>.

13 But the men <0582> of Sodom <05467> [were] wicked <07451>

and sinners <02400> before the LORD <03068> exceedingly <03966>.

14. And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Abram <087>, after

<0310> that Lot <03876> was separated <06504> from him, Lift

<05375> up now thine eyes <05869>, and look <07200> from the

place <04725> where <0834> thou art northward <06828>, and

southward <05045>, and eastward <06924>, and westward <03220>:

15 For all <03605> the land <0776> which <0834> thou seest

<07200>, to thee will I give <05414> it, and to thy seed <02233>

for ever <05769>.

16 And I will make <07760> thy seed <02233> as the dust

<06083> of the earth <0776>: so <0834> that if <0518> a man

<0376> can <03201> number <04487> the dust <06083> of the earth

<0776>, [then] shall thy seed <02233> also <01571> be numbered

<04487>.

17 Arise <06965>, walk <01980> through the land <0776> in the

length <0753> of it and in the breadth <07341> of it; for I will

give <05414> it unto thee.

18 Then Abram <087> removed <0167> [his] tent <0167>, and came

<0935> and dwelt <03427> in the plain <0436> of Mamre <04471>,

which <0834> [is] in Hebron <02275>, and built <01129> there

<08033> an altar <04196> unto the LORD <03068>.

Genesis 14

1. And it came <01961> to pass in the days <03117> of Amraphel

<0569> king <04428> of Shinar <08152>, Arioch <0746> king

<04428> of Ellasar <0495>, Chedorlaomer <03540> king <04428> of

Elam <05867>, and Tidal <08413> king <04428> of nations <01471>;

2 [That these] made <06213> war <04421> with Bera <01298> king

<04428> of Sodom <05467>, and with Birsha <01306> king <04428>

of Gomorrah <06017>, Shinab <08134> king <04428> of Admah <0126>,

and Shemeber <08038> king <04428> of Zeboiim <06636>, and the

king <04428> of Bela <01106>, which <01931> is Zoar <06820>.

3 All <03605> these <0428> were joined <02266> together in the

vale <06010> of Siddim <07708>, which <01931> is the salt

<04417> sea <03220>.

4 Twelve years <08141> they served <05647> Chedorlaomer

<03540>, and in the thirteenth year <08141> they rebelled

<04775>.

5 And in the fourteenth year <08141> came <0935> Chedorlaomer

<03540>, and the kings <04428> that [were] with him, and smote

<05221> the Rephaims <07497> in Ashteroth <06255> Karnaim, and

the Zuzims in Ham <01990>, and the Emims <0368> in Shaveh

<07741> Kiriathaim <07741>,

6 And the Horites <02752> in their mount <02042> Seir <08165>,

unto Elparan <0364>, which <0834> [is] by the wilderness <04057>.

7 And they returned <07725>, and came <0935> to Enmishpat,

which <0834> [is] Kadesh <06946>, and smote <05221> all <03605>

the country <07704> of the Amalekites <06003>, and also <01571>

the Amorites <0567>, that dwelt <03427> in Hazezontamar <02688>.

8 And there went <03318> out the king <04428> of Sodom <05467>,

and the king <04428> of Gomorrah <06017>, and the king <04428>

of Admah <0126>, and the king <04428> of Zeboiim <06636>, and

the king <04428> of Bela <01106> (the same <01931> [is] Zoar

<06820>;) and they joined <06186> battle <04421> with them in

the vale <06010> of Siddim <07708>;

9 With Chedorlaomer <03540> the king <04428> of Elam <05867>,

and with Tidal <08413> king <04428> of nations <01471>, and

Amraphel <0569> king <04428> of Shinar <08152>, and Arioch

<0746> king <04428> of Ellasar <0495>; four <0702> kings <04428>

with five <02568>.

10 And the vale <06010> of Siddim <07708> [was full of]

slimepits <02564>; and the kings <04428> of Sodom <05467> and

Gomorrah <06017> fled <05127>, and fell <05307> there <08033>;

and they that remained <07604> fled <05127> to the mountain

<02022>.

11 And they took <03947> all <03605> the goods <07399> of

Sodom <05467> and Gomorrah <06017>, and all <03605> their

victuals <0400>, and went <03212> their way <03212>.

12 And they took <03947> Lot <03876>, Abram's <087> brother's

<0251> son <01121>, who <01931> dwelt <03427> in Sodom <05467>,

and his goods <07399>, and departed <03212>.

13. And there came <0935> one that had escaped <06412>, and

told <05046> Abram <087> the Hebrew <05680>; for he dwelt

<07931> in the plain <0436> of Mamre <04471> the Amorite <0567>,

brother <0251> of Eshcol <0812>, and brother <0251> of Aner

<06063>: and these <01992> [were] confederate with Abram <087>.

14 And when <03588> Abram <087> heard <08085> that his brother

<0251> was taken captive <07617>, he armed <07324> his trained

<02593> [servants], born <03211> in his own <0249> house <01004>,

three <07969> hundred <03967> and eighteen, and pursued <07291>

[them] unto Dan <01835>.

15 And he divided <02505> himself against <05921> them, he and

his servants <05650>, by night <03915>, and smote <05221> them,

and pursued <07291> them unto Hobah <02327>, which <0834> [is]

on the left <08040> hand <08040> of Damascus <01834>.

16 And he brought <07725> back <07725> all <03605> the goods

<07399>, and also <01571> brought <07725> again <07725> his

brother <0251> Lot <03876>, and his goods <07399>, and the women

<0802> also <01571>, and the people <05971>.

17. And the king <04428> of Sodom <05467> went <03318> out to

meet <07125> him after <0310> his return <07725> from the

slaughter <05221> of Chedorlaomer <03540>, and of the kings

<04428> that [were] with him, at <0413> the valley <06010> of

Shaveh <07740>, which <01931> [is] the king's <04428> dale

<06010>.

18 And Melchizedek <04442> king <04428> of Salem <08004>

brought <03318> forth <03318> bread <03899> and wine <03196>:

and he [was] the priest <03548> of the most <05945> high <05945>

God <0410>.

19 And he blessed <01288> him, and said <0559>, Blessed

<01288> [be] Abram <087> of the most <05945> high <05945> God

<0410>, possessor <07069> of heaven <08064> and earth <0776>:

20 And blessed <01288> be the most <05945> high <05945> God

<0410>, which <0834> hath delivered <04042> thine enemies

<06862> into thy hand <03027>. And he gave <05414> him tithes

<04643> of all <03605>.

21. And the king <04428> of Sodom <05467> said <0559> unto

Abram <087>, Give <05414> me the persons <05315>, and take

<03947> the goods <07399> to thyself.

22 And Abram <087> said <0559> to the king <04428> of Sodom

<05467>, I have lift <07311> up mine hand <03027> unto the LORD

<03068>, the most <05945> high <05945> God <0410>, the possessor

<07069> of heaven <08064> and earth <0776>,

23 That I will not [take <03947>] from a thread <02339> even

<05704> to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take <03947> any

<03605> thing that [is] thine, lest <03808> thou shouldest say

<0559>, I have made <06213> Abram <087> rich <06238>:

24 Save <01107> only that which <0834> the young <05288> men

have eaten <0398>, and the portion <02506> of the men <0582>

which <0834> went <01980> with me, Aner <06063>, Eshcol <0812>,

and Mamre <04471>; let them take <03947> their portion <02506>.

Genesis 15

1. After <0310> these <0428> things <01697> the word <01697> of

the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto Abram <087> in a vision

<04236>, saying <0559>, Fear <03372> not, Abram <087>: I [am]

thy shield <04043>, [and] thy exceeding <03966> great <07235>

reward <07939>.

2. And Abram <087> said <0559>, Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, what

<04100> wilt thou give <05414> me, seeing I go <01980> childless

<06185>, and the steward of my house <01004> [is] this <01931>

Eliezer <0461> of Damascus <01834>?

3 And Abram <087> said <0559>, Behold <02005>, to me thou hast

given <05414> no <03808> seed <02233>: and, lo <02009>, one born

<01121> in my house <01004> is mine heir <03423>.

4 And, behold <02009>, the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>

[came] unto him, saying <0559>, This <02088> shall not be thine

heir <03423>; but he that shall come <03318> forth <03318> out

of thine own <0249> bowels <04578> shall be thine heir <03423>.

5 And he brought <03318> him forth <03318> abroad <02351>, and

said <0559>, Look <05027> now <04994> toward heaven <08064>, and

tell <05608> the stars <03556>, if <0518> thou be able <03201>

to number <05608> them: and he said <0559> unto him, So <03541>

shall thy seed <02233> be.

6 And he believed <0539> in the LORD <03068>; and he counted

<02803> it to him for righteousness <06666>.

7. And he said <0559> unto him, I [am] the LORD <03068> that

brought <03318> thee out of Ur <0218> of the Chaldees <03778>,

to give <05414> thee this <02063> land <0776> to inherit <03423>

it.

8 And he said <0559>, Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, whereby <04100>

shall I know <03045> that I shall inherit <03423> it?

9 And he said <0559> unto him, Take <03947> me an heifer

<05697> of three <08027> years <08027> old <08027>, and a she

goat <05795> of three <08027> years <08027> old <08027>, and a

ram <0352> of three <08027> years <03027> old <08027>, and a

turtledove <08449>, and a young <01469> pigeon <01469>.

10 And he took <03947> unto him all <03605> these <0428>, and

divided <01334> them in the midst <08432>, and laid <05414> each

<0376> piece <01335> one against <07125> another <07453>: but

the birds <06833> divided <01334> he not.

11 And when the fowls <05861> came <03381> down <03381> upon

the carcases <06297>, Abram <087> drove <05380> them away.

12. And when <01961> the sun <08121> was going <0935> down

<0935>, a deep <08639> sleep <08639> fell <05307> upon Abram

<087>; and, lo <02009>, an horror <0367> of great <01419>

darkness <02825> fell <05307> upon him.

13 And he said <0559> unto Abram <087>, Know <03045> of a

surety <03045> that thy seed <02233> shall be a stranger <01616>

in a land <0776> [that is] not theirs <01992>, and shall serve

<05647> them; and they shall afflict <06031> them four <0702>

hundred <03967> years <08141>;

14 And also <01571> that nation <01471>, whom <0834> they

shall serve <05647>, will I judge <01777>: and afterward shall

they come <03318> out with great <01419> substance <07399>.

15 And thou shalt go <0935> to thy fathers <01> in peace

<07965>; thou shalt be buried <06912> in a good <02896> old

<07872> age <07872>.

16 But in the fourth <07243> generation <01755> they shall

come <07725> hither <02008> again <07725>: for the iniquity

<05771> of the Amorites <0567> [is] not yet full <08003>.

17. And it came <01961> to pass, that, when <01961> the sun

<08121> went <0935> down <0935>, and it was dark <05939>, behold

<02009> a smoking <06227> furnace <08574>, and a burning <0784>

lamp <03940> that passed <05674> between <0996> those <0428>

pieces <01506>.

18 In the same <01931> day <03117> the LORD <03068> made

<03772> a covenant <01285> with Abram <087>, saying <0559>, Unto

thy seed <02233> have I given <05414> this <02063> land <0776>,

from the river <05104> of Egypt <04714> unto the great <01419>

river <05104>, the river <05104> Euphrates <06578>:

19 The Kenites <07017>, and the Kenizzites <07074>, and the

Kadmonites <06935>,

20 And the Hittites <02850>, and the Perizzites <06522>, and

the Rephaims <07497>,

21 And the Amorites <0567>, and the Canaanites <03669>, and

the Girgashites <01622>, and the Jebusites <02983>.

Genesis 16

1. Now Sarai <08297> Abram's <087> wife <0802> bare <03205> him

no <03808> children: and she had an handmaid <08198>, an

Egyptian <04713>, whose name <08034> [was] Hagar <01904>.

2 And Sarai <08297> said <0559> unto Abram <087>, Behold

<02009> now <04994>, the LORD <03068> hath restrained <06113> me

from bearing <03205>: I pray <04994> thee, go <0935> in unto my

maid <08198>; it may <0194> be that I may obtain <01129>

children <01129> by her. And Abram <087> hearkened <08085> to

the voice <06963> of Sarai <08297>.

3 And Sarai <08297> Abram's <087> wife <0802> took <03947>

Hagar <01904> her maid <08198> the Egyptian <04713>, after

<07093> Abram <087> had dwelt <03427> ten <06235> years <08141>

in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, and gave <05414> her to

her husband <0376> Abram <087> to be his wife <0802>.

4. And he went <0935> in unto Hagar <01904>, and she conceived

<02030>: and when she saw <07200> that she had conceived <02030>,

her mistress <01404> was despised <07043> in her eyes <05869>.

5 And Sarai <08297> said <0559> unto Abram <087>, My wrong

<02555> [be] upon thee: I have given <05414> my maid <08198>

into thy bosom <02436>; and when she saw <07200> that she had

conceived <02030>, I was despised <07043> in her eyes <05869>:

the LORD <03068> judge <08199> between <0996> me and thee.

6 But Abram <087> said <0559> unto Sarai <08297>, Behold

<02009>, thy maid <08198> [is] in thy hand <03027>; do <06213>

to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai <08297> dealt hardly

<06031> with her, she fled <01272> from her face <06440>.

7. And the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> found <04672> her

by a fountain <05869> of water <04325> in the wilderness <04057>,

by the fountain <05869> in the way <01870> to Shur <07793>.

8 And he said <0559>, Hagar <01904>, Sarai's <08297> maid

<08198>, whence <0335> camest <0935> thou? and whither <0575>

wilt thou go <03212>? And she said <0559>, I flee <01272> from

the face <06440> of my mistress <01404> Sarai <08297>.

9 And the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto

her, Return <07725> to thy mistress <01404>, and submit <06031>

thyself under <08478> her hands <03027>.

10. And the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto

her, I will multiply <07235> thy seed <02233> exceedingly

<07235>, that it shall not be numbered <05608> for multitude

<07230>.

11 And the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto

her, Behold <02009>, thou [art] with child <02030>, and shalt

bear <03205> a son <01121>, and shalt call <07121> his name

<08034> Ishmael <03458>; because <03588> the LORD <03068> hath

heard <08085> thy affliction <06040>.

12 And he will be a wild <06501> man <0120>; his hand <03027>

[will be] against every <03605> man, and every <03605> man's

<0376> hand <03027> against him; and he shall dwell <07931> in

the presence <06440> of all <03605> his brethren <0251>.

13 And she called <07121> the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>

that spake <01696> unto her, Thou God <0410> seest <07210> me:

for she said <0559>, Have I also <01571> here <01988> looked

<07200> after <0310> him that seeth <07210> me?

14 Wherefore the well <0875> was called <07121> Beerlahairoi

<0883>; behold <02009>, [it is] between <0996> Kadesh <06946>

and Bered <01260>.

15. And Hagar <01904> bare <03205> Abram <087> a son <01121>:

and Abram <087> called <07121> his son's <01121> name <08034>,

which <0834> Hagar <01904> bare <03205>, Ishmael <03458>.

16 And Abram <087> [was] fourscore <08084> and six <08337>

years <08141> old <01121>, when Hagar <01904> bare <03205>

Ishmael <03458> to Abram <087>.

Genesis 17

1. And when <01961> Abram <087> was ninety <08673> years

<08141> old <01121> and nine <08672>, the LORD <03068> appeared

<07200> to Abram <087>, and said <0559> unto him, I [am] the

Almighty <07706> God <0410>; walk <01980> before <06440> me, and

be thou perfect <08549>.

2 And I will make <05414> my covenant <01285> between <0996>

me and thee, and will multiply <07235> thee exceedingly <03966>.

3 And Abram <087> fell <05307> on <05921> his face <06440>:

and God <0430> talked <01696> with him, saying <0559>,

4. As for me, behold <02009>, my covenant <01285> [is] with

thee, and thou shalt be a father <01> of many <01995> nations

<01471>.

5 Neither <03808> shall thy name <08034> any <05750> more

<05750> be called <07121> Abram <087>, but thy name <08034>

shall be Abraham <085>; for a father <01> of many <01995>

nations <01471> have I made <05414> thee.

6 And I will make thee exceeding <03966> fruitful <06509>, and

I will make <05414> nations <01471> of thee, and kings <04428>

shall come <03318> out of thee.

7. And I will establish <06965> my covenant <01285> between

<0996> me and thee and thy seed <02233> after <0310> thee in

their generations <01755> for an everlasting <05769> covenant

<01285>, to be a God <0430> unto thee, and to thy seed <02233>

after <0310> thee.

8 And I will give <05414> unto thee, and to thy seed <02233>

after <0310> thee, the land <0776> wherein thou art a stranger

<04033>, all <03605> the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, for an

everlasting <05769> possession <0272>; and I will be their God

<0430>.

9 And God <0430> said <0559> unto Abraham <085>, Thou shalt

keep <08104> my covenant <01285> therefore, thou, and thy seed

<02233> after <0310> thee in their generations <01755>.

10 This <02063> [is] my covenant <01285>, which <0834> ye

shall keep <08104>, between <0996> me and you and thy seed

<02233> after <0310> thee; Every <03605> man <02145> child among

you shall be circumcised <04135>.

11 And ye shall circumcise <05243> the flesh <01320> of your

foreskin <06190>; and it shall be a token <0226> of the covenant

<01285> betwixt <0996> me and you.

12 And he that is eight <08083> days <03117> old <01121> shall

be circumcised <04135> among you, every <03605> man <02145>

child in your generations <01755>, he that is born <03211> in

the house <01004>, or bought <04736> with money <03701> of any

<03605> stranger, which <0834> [is] not of thy seed <02233>.

13 He that is born <03211> in thy house <01004>, and he that

is bought <04736> with thy money <03701>, must needs be

circumcised <04135>: and my covenant <01285> shall be in your

flesh <01320> for an everlasting <05769> covenant <01285>.

14 And the uncircumcised <06189> man <02145> child whose

<0834> flesh <01320> of his foreskin <06190> is not circumcised

<04135>, that soul <05315> shall be cut <03772> off from his

people <05971>; he hath broken <06565> my covenant <01285>.

15. And God <0430> said <0559> unto Abraham <085>, As for Sarai

<08297> thy wife <0802>, thou shalt not call <07121> her name

<08034> Sarai <08297>, but Sarah <08283> [shall] her name

<08034> [be].

16 And I will bless <01288> her, and give <05414> thee a son

<01121> also <01571> of her: yea, I will bless <01288> her, and

she shall be [a mother] of nations <01471>; kings <04428> of

people <05971> shall be of her.

17 Then Abraham <085> fell <05307> upon his face <06440>, and

laughed <06711>, and said <0559> in his heart <03820>, Shall [a

child] be born <03205> unto him that is an hundred <03967> years

<08141> old <01121>? and shall Sarah <08283>, that is ninety

<08673> years <08141> old <01323>, bear <03205>?

18 And Abraham <085> said <0559> unto God <0430>, O that

Ishmael <03458> might live <02421> before <06440> thee!

19 And God <0430> said <0559>, Sarah <08283> thy wife <0802>

shall bear <03205> thee a son <01121> indeed <061>; and thou

shalt call <07121> his name <08034> Isaac <03327>: and I will

establish <06965> my covenant <01285> with him for an

everlasting <05769> covenant <01285>, [and] with his seed

<02233> after <0310> him.

20 And as for Ishmael <03458>, I have heard <08085> thee:

Behold <02009>, I have blessed <01288> him, and will make him

fruitful <06509>, and will multiply <07235> him exceedingly

<03966>; twelve princes <05387> shall he beget <03205>, and I

will make <05414> him a great <01419> nation <01471>.

21 But my covenant <01285> will I establish <06965> with Isaac

<03327>, which <0834> Sarah <08283> shall bear <03205> unto thee

at this <02088> set <04150> time in the next <0312> year <08141>.

22 And he left <03615> off talking <01696> with him, and God

<0430> went <05927> up from Abraham <085>.

23. And Abraham <085> took <03947> Ishmael <03458> his son

<01121>, and all <03605> that were born <03211> in his house

<01004>, and all <03605> that were bought <04736> with his money

<03701>, every <03605> male <02145> among the men <0582> of

Abraham's <085> house <01004>; and circumcised <04135> the flesh

<01320> of their foreskin <06190> in the selfsame day <03117>,

as God <0430> had said <01696> unto him.

24 And Abraham <085> [was] ninety <08673> years <08141> old

<01121> and nine <08672>, when he was circumcised <04135> in the

flesh <01320> of his foreskin <06190>.

25 And Ishmael <03458> his son <01121> [was] thirteen years

<08141> old <01121>, when he was circumcised <04135> in the

flesh <01320> of his foreskin <06190>.

26 In the selfsame day <03117> was Abraham <085> circumcised

<04135>, and Ishmael <03458> his son <01121>.

27 And all <03605> the men <0582> of his house <01004>, born

<03211> in the house <01004>, and bought <04736> with money

<03701> of the stranger, were circumcised <04135> with him.

Genesis 18

1. And the LORD <03068> appeared <07200> unto him in the plains

<0436> of Mamre <04471>: and he sat <03427> in the tent <0168>

door <06607> in the heat <02527> of the day <03117>;

2 And he lift <05375> up his eyes <05869> and looked <07200>,

and, lo <02009>, three <07969> men <0582> stood <05324> by him:

and when he saw <07200> [them], he ran <07323> to meet <07125>

them from the tent <0168> door <06607>, and bowed <07812>

himself toward the ground <0776>,

3 And said <0559>, My Lord <0136>, if <0518> now <04994> I

have found <04672> favour <02580> in thy sight <05869>, pass

<05674> not away, I pray <04994> thee, from thy servant <05650>:

4 Let a little <04592> water <04325>, I pray <04994> you, be

fetched <03947>, and wash <07364> your feet <07272>, and rest

<08172> yourselves under <08478> the tree <06086>:

5 And I will fetch <03947> a morsel <06595> of bread <03899>,

and comfort <05582> ye your hearts <03820>; after <0310> that ye

shall pass <05674> on: for therefore are ye come <05674> to your

servant <05650>. And they said <01696>, So <03651> do <06213>,

as thou hast said <0559>.

6 And Abraham <085> hastened <04116> into the tent <0168> unto

Sarah <08283>, and said <0559>, Make ready <04116> quickly

<04116> three <07969> measures <05429> of fine meal, knead

<03888> [it], and make <06213> cakes <05692> upon the hearth.

7 And Abraham <085> ran <07323> unto the herd <01241>, and

fetcht <03947> a calf tender <07390> and good <02896>, and gave

<05414> [it] unto a young <05288> man; and he hasted <04116> to

dress <06213> it.

8 And he took <03947> butter <02529>, and milk <02461>, and

the calf which <0834> he had dressed <06213>, and set <05414>

[it] before <06440> them; and he stood <05975> by them under

<08478> the tree <06086>, and they did eat <0398>.

9. And they said <0559> unto him, Where <0346> [is] Sarah

<08283> thy wife <0802>? And he said <0559>, Behold <02009>, in

the tent <0168>.

10 And he said <0559>, I will certainly return <07725> unto

thee according to the time <06256> of life <02416>; and, lo

<02009>, Sarah <08283> thy wife <0802> shall have a son <01121>.

And Sarah <08283> heard <08085> [it] in the tent <0168> door

<06607>, which <01931> [was] behind <0310> him.

11 Now Abraham <085> and Sarah <08283> [were] old <02205>

[and] well stricken <0935> in age <03117>; [and] it ceased

<02308> to be with Sarah <08283> after the manner <0734> of

women <0802>.

12 Therefore Sarah <08283> laughed <06711> within <07130>

herself, saying <0559>, After <0310> I am waxed old <04086>

shall I have pleasure <05730>, my lord <0113> being old <02204>

also?

13 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Abraham <085>,

Wherefore <04100> did Sarah <08283> laugh <06711>, saying <0559>,

Shall I of a surety <0552> bear <03205> a child, which <0589>

am old <02204>?

14 Is any thing <01697> too hard <06381> for the LORD <03068>?

At the time appointed <04150> I will return <07725> unto thee,

according to the time <06256> of life <02416>, and Sarah <08283>

shall have a son <01121>.

15 Then Sarah <08283> denied <03584>, saying <0559>, I laughed

<06711> not; for she was afraid <03372>. And he said <0559>, Nay

<03808>; but thou didst laugh <06711>.

16. And the men <0582> rose <06965> up from thence <08033>, and

looked <08259> toward Sodom <05467>: and Abraham <085> went

<01980> with them to bring <07971> them on the way <07971>.

17 And the LORD <03068> said <0559>, Shall I hide <03680> from

Abraham <085> that thing which <0834> I do <06213>;

18 Seeing that Abraham <085> shall surely become <01961> a

great <01419> and mighty <06099> nation <01471>, and all <03605>

the nations <01471> of the earth <0776> shall be blessed <01288>

in him?

19 For I know <03045> him, that he will command <06680> his

children <01121> and his household <01004> after <0310> him, and

they shall keep <08104> the way <01870> of the LORD <03068>, to

do <06213> justice <06666> and judgment <04941>; that the LORD

<03068> may bring <0935> upon Abraham <085> that which <0834> he

hath spoken <01696> of him.

20 And the LORD <03068> said <0559>, Because <03588> the cry

<02201> of Sodom <05467> and Gomorrah <06017> is great <07227>,

and because <03588> their sin <02403> is very <03966> grievous

<03515>;

21 I will go <03381> down <03381> now <04994>, and see <07200>

whether they have done <06213> altogether <03617> according to

the cry <06818> of it, which is come <0935> unto me; and if

<0518> not, I will know <03045>.

22 And the men <0582> turned <06437> their faces from thence

<08033>, and went <03212> toward Sodom <05467>: but Abraham

<085> stood <05975> yet <05750> before <06440> the LORD <03068>.

23. And Abraham <085> drew near <05066>, and said <0559>, Wilt

thou also <0637> destroy <05595> the righteous <06662> with the

wicked <07563>?

24 Peradventure <0194> there be fifty <02572> righteous

<06662> within <08432> the city <05892>: wilt thou also <0637>

destroy <05595> and not spare <05375> the place <04725> for the

fifty <02572> righteous <06662> that [are] therein <07130>?

25 That be far <02486> from thee to do <06213> after this

<02088> manner <01697>, to slay <04191> the righteous <06662>

with the wicked <07563>: and that the righteous <06662> should

be as the wicked <07563>, that be far <02486> from thee: Shall

not the Judge <08199> of all <03605> the earth <0776> do <06213>

right <04941>?

26 And the LORD <03068> said <0559>, If <0518> I find <04672>

in Sodom <05467> fifty <02572> righteous <06662> within <08432>

the city <05892>, then I will spare <05375> all <03605> the

place <04725> for their sakes <05668>.

27 And Abraham <085> answered <06030> and said <0559>, Behold

<02009> now <04994>, I have taken <02974> upon me to speak

<01696> unto the Lord <0136>, which <0595> [am but] dust <06083>

and ashes <0665>:

28 Peradventure <0194> there shall lack <02637> five <02568>

of the fifty <02572> righteous <06662>: wilt thou destroy

<07843> all <03605> the city <05892> for [lack of] five <02568>?

And he said <0559>, If <0518> I find <04672> there <08033> forty

<0705> and five <02568>, I will not destroy <07843> [it].

29 And he spake <01696> unto him yet <05750> again <03254>,

and said <0559>, Peradventure <0194> there shall be forty <0705>

found <04672> there. And he said <0559>, I will not do <06213>

[it] for forty's <0705> sake <05668>.

30 And he said <0559> [unto him], Oh <04994> let not the Lord

<0136> be angry <02734>, and I will speak <01696>: Peradventure

<0194> there <08033> shall thirty <07970> be found <04672> there

<08033>. And he said <0559>, I will not do <06213> [it], if

<0518> I find <04672> thirty <07970> there <08033>.

31 And he said <0559>, Behold <02009> now <04994>, I have

taken <02974> upon me to speak <01696> unto the Lord <0136>:

Peradventure <0194> there <08033> shall be twenty <06242> found

<04672> there <08033>. And he said <0559>, I will not destroy

<07843> [it] for twenty's <06242> sake <05668>.

32 And he said <0559>, Oh <04994> let not the Lord <0136> be

angry <02734>, and I will speak <01696> yet <0389> but this

<06471> once <06471>: Peradventure <0194> ten <06235> shall be

found <04672> there <08033>. And he said <0559>, I will not

destroy <07843> [it] for ten's <06235> sake <05668>.

33 And the LORD <03068> went <03212> his way <03212>, as soon

<0834> as he had left <03615> communing <01696> with Abraham

<085>: and Abraham <085> returned <07725> unto his place <04725>.

Genesis 19

1. And there came <0935> two <08147> angels <04397> to Sodom

<05467> at even <06153>; and Lot <03876> sat <03427> in the gate

<08179> of Sodom <05467>: and Lot <03876> seeing <07200> [them]

rose <06965> up to meet <07125> them; and he bowed <07812>

himself with his face <0639> toward the ground <0776>;

2 And he said <0559>, Behold <02009> now <04994>, my lords

<0113>, turn <05493> in, I pray <04994> you, into <0413> your

servant's <05650> house <01004>, and tarry <03885> all <03885>

night, and wash <07364> your feet <07272>, and ye shall rise

<07925> up early <07925>, and go <01980> on your ways <01870>.

And they said <0559>, Nay; but we will abide <03885> in the

street <07339> all <03885> night.

3 And he pressed <06484> upon them greatly <03966>; and they

turned <05493> in unto him, and entered <0935> into <0413> his

house <01004>; and he made <06213> them a feast <04960>, and did

bake <0644> unleavened <04682> bread, and they did eat <0398>.

4. But before <02962> they lay <07901> down, the men <0582> of

the city <05892>, [even] the men <0582> of Sodom <05467>,

compassed <05437> the house <01004> round <05921>, both old

<02205> and young <05288>, all <03605> the people <05971> from

every quarter <07098>:

5 And they called <07121> unto Lot <03876>, and said <0559>

unto him, Where <0346> [are] the men <0582> which <0834> came

<0935> in to thee this night <03915>? bring <03318> them out

unto us, that we may know <03045> them.

6 And Lot <03876> went <03318> out at the door <06607> unto

them, and shut <05462> the door <01817> after <0310> him,

7 And said <0559>, I pray <04994> you, brethren <0251>, do not

so wickedly <07489>.

8 Behold <02009> now <04994>, I have two <08147> daughters

<01363> which <0834> have not known <03045> man <0376>; let me,

I pray <04994> you, bring <03318> them out unto you, and do

<06213> ye to them as [is] good <02896> in your eyes <05869>:

only unto these <0428> men <0582> do <06213> nothing; for

therefore came <0935> they under the shadow <06738> of my roof

<06982>.

9 And they said <0559>, Stand <05066> back <01973>. And they

said <0559> [again], This one <0259> [fellow <07453>] came

<0935> in to sojourn <01481>, and he will needs be a judge

<08199>: now <06288> will we deal worse <07489> with thee, than

with them. And they pressed <06484> sore <03966> upon the man

<0376>, [even] Lot <03876>, and came <05066> near <05066> to

break <07665> the door <01817>.

10 But the men <0582> put <07971> forth <07971> their hand

<03027>, and pulled <0935> Lot <03876> into the house <01004> to

them, and shut <05462> to the door <01817>.

11 And they smote <05221> the men <0582> that [were] at the

door <06607> of the house <01004> with blindness <05575>, both

small <06996> and great <01419>: so that they wearied <03811>

themselves to find <04672> the door <06607>.

12. And the men <0582> said <0559> unto Lot <03876>, Hast thou

here <06311> any <04310> besides <05750>? son <01121> in law

<02859>, and thy sons <01121>, and thy daughters <01363>, and

whatsoever thou hast in the city <05892>, bring <03318> [them]

out of this place <04725>:

13 For we will destroy <07843> this <02088> place <04725>,

because <03588> the cry <06818> of them is waxen great <01431>

before <0854> the face <06440> of the LORD <03068>; and the LORD

<03068> hath sent <07971> us to destroy <07843> it.

14 And Lot <03876> went <03318> out, and spake <01696> unto

his sons <02860> in law <02859>, which married <03947> his

daughters <01363>, and said <0559>, Up, get <03318> you out of

this <02088> place <04725>; for the LORD <03068> will destroy

<07843> this city <05892>. But he seemed as one that mocked

<06711> unto his sons <02860> in law <02859>.

15. And when <03644> the morning <07837> arose <05927>, then

the angels <04397> hastened <0213> Lot <03876>, saying <0559>,

Arise <06965>, take <03947> thy wife <0802>, and thy two <08147>

daughters <01363>, which are here <04672>; lest <06435> thou be

consumed <05595> in the iniquity <05771> of the city <05892>.

16 And while he lingered <04102>, the men <0582> laid hold

<02388> upon his hand <03027>, and upon the hand <03027> of his

wife <0802>, and upon the hand <03027> of his two <08147>

daughters <01363>; the LORD <03068> being merciful <02551> unto

him: and they brought <03318> him forth <03318>, and set <03240>

him without <02351> the city <05892>.

17 And it came <01961> to pass, when they had brought <03318>

them forth <03318> abroad <02351>, that he said <0559>, Escape

<04422> for thy life <05315>; look <05027> not behind <0310>

thee, neither <0408> stay <05975> thou in all <03605> the plain

<03603>; escape <04422> to the mountain <02022>, lest <06435>

thou be consumed <05595>.

18 And Lot <03876> said <0559> unto them, Oh <04994>, not so,

my Lord <0113>:

19 Behold <02009> now <04994>, thy servant <05650> hath found

<04672> grace <02580> in thy sight <05869>, and thou hast

magnified <01431> thy mercy <02617>, which <0834> thou hast

shewed <06213> unto me in saving <02421> my life <05315>; and I

cannot escape <04422> to the mountain <02022>, lest <06435> some

evil <07451> take <01692> me, and I die <04191>:

20 Behold <02009> now <04994>, this <02063> city <05892> [is]

near <07138> to flee <05127> unto, and it [is] a little <04705>

one: Oh <04994>, let me escape <04422> thither, ([is] it not a

little <04705> one?) and my soul <05315> shall live <02421>.

21 And he said <0559> unto him, See <02009>, I have accepted

<05375> thee concerning this <02088> thing <01697> also <01571>,

that I will not overthrow <02015> this city <05892>, for the

which <0834> thou hast spoken <01696>.

22 Haste <04116> thee, escape <04422> thither; for I cannot do

<06213> any thing till <05704> thou be come <0935> thither.

Therefore the name <08034> of the city <05892> was called

<07121> Zoar <06820>.

23 The sun <08121> was risen <03318> upon the earth <0776>

when Lot <03876> entered <0935> into Zoar <06820>.

24. Then the LORD <03068> rained <04305> upon Sodom <05467> and

upon Gomorrah <06017> brimstone <01614> and fire <0784> from the

LORD <03068> out of heaven <08064>;

25 And he overthrew <02015> those <0411> cities <05892>, and

all <03605> the plain <03603>, and all <03605> the inhabitants

<03427> of the cities <05892>, and that which grew <06780> upon

the ground <0127>.

26. But his wife <0802> looked <05027> back from behind <0310>

him, and she became <01961> a pillar <05333> of salt <04417>.

27. And Abraham <085> gat up early <07925> in the morning

<01242> to the place <04725> where <0834> he stood <05975>

before the LORD <03068>:

28 And he looked <08259> toward Sodom <05467> and Gomorrah

<06017>, and toward all <03605> the land <0776> of the plain

<03603>, and beheld <07200>, and, lo <02009>, the smoke <07008>

of the country <0776> went <05927> up as the smoke <07008> of a

furnace <03536>.

29 And it came <01961> to pass, when God <0430> destroyed

<07843> the cities <05892> of the plain <03603>, that God <0430>

remembered <02142> Abraham <085>, and sent <07971> Lot <03876>

out of the midst <08432> of the overthrow <02018>, when he

overthrew <02015> the cities <05892> in the which <0834> Lot

<03876> dwelt <03427>.

30. And Lot <03876> went <05927> up out of Zoar <06820>, and

dwelt <03427> in the mountain <02022>, and his two <08147>

daughters <01363> with him; for he feared <03372> to dwell

<03418> in Zoar <06820>: and he dwelt <03427> in a cave <04631>,

he and his two <08147> daughters <01363>.

31 And the firstborn <01067> said <0559> unto the younger

<06810>, Our father <01> [is] old <02204>, and [there is] not a

man <0376> in the earth <0776> to come <0935> in unto us after

the manner <01870> of all <03605> the earth <0776>:

32 Come <03212>, let us make our father <01> drink <08248>

wine <03196>, and we will lie <07901> with him, that we may

preserve <02421> seed <02233> of our father <01>.

33 And they made their father <01> drink <08248> wine <03196>

that night <03915>: and the firstborn <01067> went <0935> in,

and lay <07901> with her father <01>; and he perceived <03045>

not when she lay <07901> down, nor when she arose <06965>.

34 And it came <01961> to pass on the morrow <04283>, that the

firstborn <01067> said <0559> unto the younger <06810>, Behold

<02005>, I lay <07901> yesternight <0570> with my father <01>:

let us make him drink <08248> wine <03196> this night <03915>

also <01571>; and go <0935> thou in, [and] lie <07901> with him,

that we may preserve <02421> seed <02233> of our father <01>.

35 And they made their father <01> drink <08248> wine <03196>

that night <03915> also <01571>: and the younger <06810> arose

<06965>, and lay <07901> with him; and he perceived <03045> not

when she lay <07901> down, nor when she arose <06965>.

36 Thus were both <08147> the daughters <01363> of Lot <03876>

with child <02029> by their father <01>.

37 And the firstborn <01067> bare <03205> a son <01121>, and

called <07121> his name <08034> Moab <04124>: the same <01931>

[is] the father <01> of the Moabites <04124> unto this day

<03117>.

38 And the younger <06810>, she also <01571> bare <03205> a

son <01121>, and called <07121> his name <08034> Benammi <01151>:

the same <01931> [is] the father <01> of the children <01121>

of Ammon <05983> unto this day <03117>.

Genesis 20

1. And Abraham <085> journeyed <05265> from thence <08033>

toward the south <05045> country <0776>, and dwelled <03427>

between <0996> Kadesh <06946> and Shur <07793>, and sojourned

<01481> in Gerar <01642>.

2 And Abraham <085> said <0559> of Sarah <08283> his wife

<0802>, She [is] my sister <0269>: and Abimelech <040> king

<04428> of Gerar <01642> sent <07971>, and took <03947> Sarah

<08283>.

3. But God <0430> came <0935> to Abimelech <040> in a dream

<02472> by night <03915>, and said <0559> to him, Behold <02009>,

thou [art but] a dead <04191> man <0376>, for the woman <0802>

which <0834> thou hast taken <03947>; for she [is] a man's

<01167> wife <01166>.

4 But Abimelech <040> had not come <07126> near <07126> her:

and he said <0559>, Lord <0136>, wilt thou slay <02026> also

<01571> a righteous <06662> nation <01471>?

5 Said <0559> he not unto me, She [is] my sister <0269>? and

she, even <01571> she herself said <0559>, He [is] my brother

<0251>: in the integrity <08537> of my heart <03824> and

innocency <05356> of my hands <03709> have I done <06213> this

<02063>.

6 And God <0430> said <0559> unto him in a dream <02472>, Yea

<01571>, I know <03045> that thou didst <06213> this <02063> in

the integrity <08537> of thy heart <03824>; for I also withheld

<02820> thee from sinning <02398> against me: therefore suffered

<05414> I thee not to touch <05060> her.

7 Now <06258> therefore restore <07725> the man <0376> [his]

wife <0802>; for he [is] a prophet <05030>, and he shall pray

<06419> for thee, and thou shalt live <02421>: and if <0518>

thou restore <07725> [her] not, know <03045> thou that thou

shalt surely <03588> die <04191>, thou, and all <03605> that

[are] thine.

8. Therefore Abimelech <040> rose <07925> early <07925> in the

morning <01242>, and called <07121> all <03605> his servants

<05650>, and told <01696> all <03605> these <0428> things

<01697> in their ears <0241>: and the men <0582> were sore

<03966> afraid <03372>.

9 Then Abimelech <040> called <07121> Abraham <085>, and said

<0559> unto him, What <04100> hast thou done <06213> unto us?

and what <04100> have I offended <02398> thee, that thou hast

brought <0935> on <05921> me and on <05921> my kingdom <04467> a

great <01419> sin <02401>? thou hast done <06213> deeds <04639>

unto me that ought <03972> not to be done <06213>.

10 And Abimelech <040> said <0559> unto Abraham <085>, What

<04100> sawest <07200> thou, that thou hast done <06213> this

<02088> thing <01697>?

11 And Abraham <085> said <0559>, Because <03588> I thought

<0559>, Surely <07535> the fear <03374> of God <0430> [is] not

in this <02088> place <04725>; and they will slay <02026> me for

my wife's <0802> sake <01697>.

12 And yet <01571> indeed <0546> [she is] my sister <0269>;

she [is] the daughter <01323> of my father <01>, but not the

daughter <01323> of my mother <0517>; and she became <01961> my

wife <0802>.

13 And it came <01961> to pass, when <0834> God <0430> caused

me to wander <08582> from my father's <01> house <01004>, that I

said <0559> unto her, This <02088> [is] thy kindness <02617>

which <0834> thou shalt shew <06213> unto me; at <0413> every

<03605> place <04725> whither we shall come <0935>, say <0559>

of me, He [is] my brother <0251>.

14. And Abimelech <040> took <03947> sheep <06629>, and oxen

<01241>, and menservants <05650>, and womenservants <08198>, and

gave <05414> [them] unto Abraham <085>, and restored <07725> him

Sarah <08283> his wife <0802>.

15 And Abimelech <040> said <0559>, Behold <02009>, my land

<0776> [is] before <06440> thee: dwell <03418> where it pleaseth

thee.

16 And unto Sarah <08283> he said <0559>, Behold <02009>, I

have given <05414> thy brother <0251> a thousand <0505> [pieces]

of silver <03701>: behold <02009>, he [is] to thee a covering

<03682> of the eyes <05869>, unto all <03605> that [are] with

thee, and with all <03605> [other]: thus she was reproved

<03198>.

17 So Abraham <085> prayed <06419> unto God <0430>: and God

<0430> healed <07495> Abimelech <040>, and his wife <0802>, and

his maidservants <0519>; and they bare <03205> [children].

18 For the LORD <03068> had fast closed <06113> up all <03605>

the wombs <07358> of the house <01004> of Abimelech <040>,

because of Sarah <08283> Abraham's <085> wife <0802>.

Genesis 21

1. And the LORD <03068> visited <06485> Sarah <08283> as he had

said <0559>, and the LORD <03068> did <06213> unto Sarah <08283>

as he had spoken <01696>.

2 For Sarah <08283> conceived <02030>, and bare <03205>

Abraham <085> a son <01121> in his old <02208> age, at the set

<04150> time of which <0834> God <0430> had spoken <01696> to

him.

3 And Abraham <085> called <07121> the name <08034> of his son

<01121> that was born <03205> unto him, whom <0834> Sarah

<08283> bare <03205> to him, Isaac <03327>.

4 And Abraham <085> circumcised <04135> his son <01121> Isaac

<03327> being eight <08083> days <03117> old <01121>, as God

<0430> had commanded <06680> him.

5 And Abraham <085> was an hundred <03967> years <08141> old

<01121>, when his son <01121> Isaac <03327> was born <03205>

unto him.

6 And Sarah <08283> said <0559>, God <0430> hath made me to

laugh <06712>, [so that] all <03605> that hear <08085> will

laugh <06711> with me.

7 And she said <0559>, Who <04310> would have said <04448>

unto Abraham <085>, that Sarah <08283> should have given

children <01121> suck <03243>? for I have born <03205> [him] a

son <01121> in his old <02208> age.

8 And the child <03206> grew <01431>, and was weaned <01580>:

and Abraham <085> made <06213> a great <01419> feast <04960> the

[same] day <03117> that Isaac <03327> was weaned <01580>.

9. And Sarah <08283> saw <07200> the son <01121> of Hagar

<01904> the Egyptian <04713>, which <0834> she had born <03205>

unto Abraham <085>, mocking <06711>.

10 Wherefore she said <0559> unto Abraham <085>, Cast <01644>

out this <02063> bondwoman <0519> and her son <01121>: for the

son <01121> of this <02063> bondwoman <0519> shall not be heir

<03423> with my son, [even] with Isaac <03327>.

11 And the thing <01697> was very <03966> grievous <07489> in

Abraham's <085> sight <05869> because of his son <01121>.

12 And God <0430> said <0559> unto Abraham <085>, Let it not

be grievous <07489> in thy sight <05869> because <05921> of the

lad <05288>, and because <05921> of thy bondwoman <0519>; in all

<03605> that Sarah <08283> hath said <0559> unto thee, hearken

<08085> unto her voice <06963>; for in Isaac <03327> shall thy

seed <02233> be called <07121>.

13 And also of the son <01121> of the bondwoman <0519> will I

make <07760> a nation <01471>, because <03588> he [is] thy seed

<02233>.

14. And Abraham <085> rose <07925> up early <07925> in the

morning <01242>, and took <03947> bread <03899>, and a bottle

<02573> of water <04325>, and gave <05414> [it] unto Hagar

<01904>, putting <07760> [it] on <05921> her shoulder <07926>,

and the child <03206>, and sent <07971> her away: and she

departed <03212>, and wandered <08582> in the wilderness <04057>

of Beersheba <0884>.

15 And the water <04325> was spent <03615> in the bottle

<02573>, and she cast <07993> the child <03206> under <08478>

one <0259> of the shrubs <07880>.

16 And she went <03212>, and sat <03427> her down over <05048>

against <05048> [him] a good <07368> way off, as it were a

bowshot: for <07198> she said <0559>, Let me not see <07200> the

death <04194> of the child <03206>. And she sat <03427> over

<05048> against <05048> [him], and lift <05375> up her voice

<06963>, and wept <01058>.

17 And God <0430> heard <08085> the voice <06963> of the lad

<05288>; and the angel <04397> of God <0430> called <07121> to

Hagar <01904> out of heaven <08064>, and said <0559> unto her,

What <04100> aileth thee, Hagar <01904>? fear <03372> not; for

God <0430> hath heard <08085> the voice <06963> of the lad

<05288> where <0834> he [is].

18 Arise <06965>, lift <05375> up the lad <05288>, and hold

<02388> him in thine hand <03027>; for I will make <07760> him a

great <01419> nation <01471>.

19 And God <0430> opened <06491> her eyes <05869>, and she saw

<07200> a well <0875> of water <04325>; and she went <03212>,

and filled <04390> the bottle <02573> with water <04325>, and

gave the lad <05288> drink <08248>.

20 And God <0430> was with the lad <05288>; and he grew

<01431>, and dwelt <03427> in the wilderness <04057>, and became

<01961> an archer <07198>.

21 And he dwelt <03427> in the wilderness <04057> of Paran

<06290>: and his mother <0517> took <03947> him a wife <0802>

out of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.

22. And it came <01961> to pass at that time <06256>, that

Abimelech <040> and Phichol <06369> the chief captain <08269> of

his host <06635> spake <0559> unto Abraham <085>, saying <0559>,

God <0430> [is] with thee in all <03605> that thou doest <06213>:

23 Now <06258> therefore swear <07650> unto me here <02008> by

God <0430> that thou wilt not deal falsely <08266> with me, nor

with my son <05220>, nor with my son's <05220> son <05220>:

[but] according to the kindness <02617> that I have done <06213>

unto thee, thou shalt do <06213> unto me, and to the land <0776>

wherein <0834> thou hast sojourned <01481>.

24 And Abraham <085> said <0559>, I will swear <07650>.

25 And Abraham <085> reproved <03198> Abimelech <040> because

of a well <0875> of water <04325>, which <0834> Abimelech's

<040> servants <05650> had violently <01497> taken <01497> away.

26 And Abimelech <040> said <0559>, I wot <03045> not who

<04310> hath done <06213> this <02088> thing <01697>: neither

<03808> didst thou tell <05046> me, neither <03808> yet <01571>

heard <08085> I [of it], but to day <03117>.

27 And Abraham <085> took <03947> sheep <06629> and oxen

<01241>, and gave <05414> them unto Abimelech <040>; and both

<08147> of them made <03772> a covenant <01285>.

28 And Abraham <085> set <05324> seven <07651> ewe <03535>

lambs <03535> of the flock <06629> by themselves.

29 And Abimelech <040> said <0559> unto Abraham <085>, What

<04100> [mean] these seven <07651> ewe <03535> lambs <03535>

which <0834> thou hast set <05324> by themselves?

30 And he said <0559>, For [these] seven <07651> ewe <03535>

lambs <03535> shalt thou take <03947> of my hand <03027>, that

they may be a witness <05713> unto me, that I have digged

<02658> this well <0875>.

31 Wherefore <04100> he called <07121> that place <04725>

Beersheba <0884>; because <03588> there <08033> they sware

<07650> both <08147> of them.

32 Thus <03541> they made <03772> a covenant <01285> at

Beersheba <0884>: then Abimelech <040> rose <06965> up, and

Phichol <06369> the chief captain <08269> of his host <06635>,

and they returned <07725> into <0413> the land <0776> of the

Philistines <06430>.

33. And [Abraham] planted <05193> a grove <0815> in Beersheba

<0884>, and called <07121> there <08033> on the name <08034> of

the LORD <03068>, the everlasting <05769> God <0410>.

34 And Abraham <085> sojourned <01481> in the Philistines

<06430>' land <0776> many <07227> days <03117>.

Genesis 22

1. And it came <01961> to pass after <0310> these things

<01697>, that God <0430> did tempt <05254> Abraham <085>, and

said <0559> unto him, Abraham <085>: and he said <0559>, Behold

<02009>, [here] I [am].

2 And he said <0559>, Take <03947> now <04994> thy son <01121>,

thine only <03173> [son] Isaac <03327>, whom <0834> thou lovest

<0157>, and get <03212> thee into <0413> the land <0776> of

Moriah <04179>; and offer <05927> him there <08033> for a burnt

<05930> offering upon one <0259> of the mountains <02022> which

<0834> I will tell <0559> thee of.

3. And Abraham <085> rose <07925> up early <07925> in the

morning <01242>, and saddled <02280> his ass <02543>, and took

<03947> two <08147> of his young <05288> men with him, and Isaac

<03327> his son <01121>, and clave <01234> the wood <06086> for

the burnt <05930> offering, and rose <06965> up, and went

<03212> unto the place <04725> of which <0834> God <0430> had

told <0559> him.

4 Then on the third <07992> day <03117> Abraham <085> lifted

<05375> up his eyes <05869>, and saw <07200> the place <04725>

afar <07350> off.

5 And Abraham <085> said <0559> unto his young <05288> men,

Abide <03427> ye here <06311> with the ass <02543>; and I and

the lad <05288> will go <03212> yonder <03541> and worship

<07812>, and come <07725> again <07725> to you.

6 And Abraham <085> took <03947> the wood <06086> of the burnt

<05930> offering, and laid <07760> [it] upon Isaac <03327> his

son <01121>; and he took <03947> the fire <0784> in his hand

<03027>, and a knife <03979>; and they went <03212> both <08147>

of them together <03162>.

7 And Isaac <03327> spake <0559> unto Abraham <085> his father

<01>, and said <0559>, My father <01>: and he said <0559>, Here

<02009> [am] I, my son <01121>. And he said <0559>, Behold

<02009> the fire <0784> and the wood <06086>: but where <0834>

[is] the lamb <07716> for a burnt <05930> offering?

8 And Abraham <085> said <0559>, My son <01121>, God <0430>

will provide <07200> himself a lamb <07716> for a burnt <05930>

offering: so they went <03212> both <08147> of them together

<03162>.

9 And they came <0935> to the place <04725> which <0834> God

<0430> had told <0559> him of; and Abraham <085> built <01129>

an altar <04196> there <08033>, and laid the wood <06086> in

order, and bound <06123> Isaac <03327> his son <01121>, and laid

<07760> him on <05921> the altar <04196> upon the wood <06086>.

10 And Abraham <085> stretched <07971> forth his hand <03027>,

and took <03947> the knife <03979> to slay <07819> his son

<01121>.

11. And the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> called <07121>

unto him out of heaven <08064>, and said <0559>, Abraham <085>,

Abraham <085>: and he said <0559>, Here <02009> [am] I.

12 And he said <0559>, Lay <07971> not thine hand <03027> upon

the lad <05288>, neither <0408> do <06213> thou any <03972>

thing unto him: for now <06258> I know <03045> that thou fearest

<03373> God <0430>, seeing <07200> thou hast not withheld

<02820> thy son <01121>, thine only <03162> [son] from me.

13 And Abraham <085> lifted <05375> up his eyes <05869>, and

looked <07200>, and behold <02009> behind <0310> [him] a ram

<0352> caught <0270> in a thicket <05442> by his horns <07161>:

and Abraham <085> went <03212> and took <03947> the ram <0352>,

and offered <05927> him up for a burnt <05930> offering in the

stead <08478> of his son <01121>.

14 And Abraham <085> called <07121> the name <08034> of that

place <04725> Jehovahjireh <03070>: as it is said <0559> [to]

this day <03117>, In the mount <02022> of the LORD <03068> it

shall be seen <07200>.

15. And the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> called <07121>

unto Abraham <085> out of heaven <08064> the second <08145> time

<06256>,

16 And said <0559>, By myself have I sworn <07650>, saith

<05002> the LORD <03068>, for because thou hast done <06213>

this thing <01697>, and hast not withheld <02820> thy son

<01121>, thine only <03173> [son]:

17 That in blessing <01288> I will bless <01288> thee, and in

multiplying <07235> I will multiply <07235> thy seed <02233> as

the stars <03556> of the heaven <08064>, and as the sand <02344>

which <0834> [is] upon the sea <03220> shore <08193>; and thy

seed <02233> shall possess <03423> the gate <08179> of his

enemies <0341>;

18 And in thy seed <02233> shall all <03605> the nations

<01471> of the earth <0776> be blessed <01288>; because thou

hast obeyed <08085> my voice <06963>.

19 So Abraham <085> returned <07725> unto his young <05288>

men, and they rose <06965> up and went <03212> together <03162>

to Beersheba <0884>; and Abraham <085> dwelt <03427> at

Beersheba <0884>.

20. And it came <01961> to pass after <0310> these things

<01697>, that it was told <05046> Abraham <085>, saying <0559>,

Behold <02009>, Milcah <04435>, she hath also born <03205>

children <01121> unto thy brother <0251> Nahor <05152>;

21 Huz <05780> his firstborn <01060>, and Buz <0938> his

brother <0251>, and Kemuel <07055> the father <01> of Aram

<0758>,

22 And Chesed <03777>, and Hazo <02375>, and Pildash <06394>,

and Jidlaph <03044>, and Bethuel <01328>.

23 And Bethuel <01328> begat <03205> Rebekah <07259>: these

eight <08083> Milcah <04435> did bear <03205> to Nahor <05152>,

Abraham's <085> brother <0251>.

24 And his concubine <06370>, whose name <08034> [was] Reumah

<07208>, she bare <03205> also Tebah <02875>, and Gaham <01514>,

and Thahash <08477>, and Maachah <04601>.

Genesis 23

1. And Sarah <08283> was an hundred <03967> and seven <07651>

and twenty <06242> years <08141> old <02416>: [these were] the

years <08141> of the life <02416> of Sarah <08283>.

2 And Sarah <08283> died <04191> in Kirjatharba <07153>; the

same <01931> [is] Hebron <02275> in the land <0776> of Canaan

<03667>: and Abraham <085> came <0935> to mourn <05594> for

Sarah <08283>, and to weep <01058> for her.

3. And Abraham <085> stood <06965> up from before his dead

<04191>, and spake <01696> unto the sons <01121> of Heth <02845>,

saying <0559>,

4 I [am] a stranger <01616> and a sojourner <08453> with you:

give <05414> me a possession <0272> of a buryingplace <06913>

with you, that I may bury <06912> my dead <04191> out of my

sight <06440>.

5 And the children <01121> of Heth <02845> answered <06030>

Abraham <085>, saying <0559> unto him,

6 Hear <08085> us, my lord <0113>: thou [art] a mighty <0430>

prince <05387> among <08432> us: in the choice <04005> of our

sepulchres <06913> bury <06912> thy dead <04191>; none of us

shall withhold <03607> from thee his sepulchre <06913>, but that

thou mayest bury <06912> thy dead <04191>.

7 And Abraham <085> stood <06965> up, and bowed <07812>

himself to the people <05971> of the land <0776>, [even] to the

children <01121> of Heth <02845>.

8 And he communed <01696> with them, saying <0559>, If it be

your mind <05315> that I should bury <06912> my dead <04191> out

of my sight <06440>; hear <08085> me, and intreat <06293> for me

to Ephron <06085> the son <01121> of Zohar <06714>,

9 That he may give <05414> me the cave <04631> of Machpelah

<04375>, which <0834> he hath, which <0834> [is] in the end

<07097> of his field <07704>; for as much <07227> money <03701>

as it is worth <04392> he shall give <05414> it me for a

possession <0272> of a buryingplace <06913> amongst <08432> you.

10 And Ephron <06085> dwelt <03427> among <08432> the children

<01121> of Heth <02845>: and Ephron <06085> the Hittite <02850>

answered <06030> Abraham <085> in the audience <0241> of the

children <01121> of Heth <02845>, [even] of all <03605> that

went <0935> in at the gate <08179> of his city <05892>, saying

<0559>,

11 Nay <03808>, my lord <0113>, hear <08085> me: the field

<07704> give <05414> I thee, and the cave <04631> that [is]

therein, I give <05414> it thee; in the presence <05869> of the

sons <01121> of my people <05971> give <05414> I it thee: bury

<06912> thy dead <04191>.

12 And Abraham <085> bowed <07812> down <07812> himself before

<06440> the people <05971> of the land <0776>.

13 And he spake <01696> unto Ephron <06085> in the audience

<0241> of the people <05971> of the land <0776>, saying <0559>,

But if thou [wilt give it], I pray <03863> thee, hear <08085> me:

I will give <05414> thee money <03701> for the field <07704>;

take <03947> [it] of me, and I will bury <06912> my dead <04191>

there <08033>.

14 And Ephron <06085> answered <06030> Abraham <085>, saying

<0559> unto him,

15 My lord <0113>, hearken <08085> unto me: the land <0776>

[is worth] four <0702> hundred <03967> shekels <08255> of silver

<03701>; what <04100> [is] that betwixt <0996> me and thee? bury

<06912> therefore thy dead <04191>.

16. And Abraham <085> hearkened <08085> unto Ephron <06085>;

and Abraham weighed <08254> to Ephron <06085> the silver <03701>,

which <0834> he had named <01696> in the audience <0241> of the

sons <01121> of Heth <02845>, four <0702> hundred <03967>

shekels <08255> of silver <03701>, current <05674> [money

<03701>] with the merchant.

17 And the field <07704> of Ephron <06085>, which <0834> [was]

in Machpelah <04375>, which <0834> [was] before <06440> Mamre

<04471>, the field <07704>, and the cave <04631> which <0834>

[was] therein, and all <03605> the trees <06086> that [were] in

the field <07704>, that [were] in all <03605> the borders

<01366> round <05439> about, were made sure <06965>

18 Unto Abraham <085> for a possession <04736> in the presence

<05869> of the children <01121> of Heth <02845>, before <06440>

all <03605> that went <0935> in at the gate <08179> of his city

<05892>.

19 And after <0310> this, Abraham <085> buried <06912> Sarah

<08283> his wife <0802> in the cave <04631> of the field <07704>

of Machpelah <04375> before Mamre <04471>: the same <01931> [is]

Hebron <02275> in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>.

20 And the field <07704>, and the cave <04631> that [is]

therein, were made sure <06965> unto Abraham <085> for a

possession <0272> of a buryingplace <06913> by the sons <01121>

of Heth <02845>.

Genesis 24

1. And Abraham <085> was old <02204>, [and] well stricken

<0935> in age <03117>: and the LORD <03068> had blessed <01288>

Abraham <085> in all <03605> things.

2 And Abraham <085> said <0559> unto his eldest <02205>

servant <05650> of his house <01004>, that ruled <04910> over

all <03605> that he had, Put <07760>, I pray <04994> thee, thy

hand <03027> under <08478> my thigh <03409>:

3 And I will make thee swear <07650> by the LORD <03068>, the

God <0430> of heaven <08064>, and the God <0430> of the earth

<0776>, that thou shalt not take <03947> a wife <0802> unto my

son <01121> of the daughters <01363> of the Canaanites <03669>,

among <07130> whom <0834> I dwell <03418>:

4 But thou shalt go <03212> unto my country <0776>, and to my

kindred <04138>, and take <03947> a wife <0802> unto my son

<01121> Isaac <03327>.

5 And the servant <05650> said <0559> unto him, Peradventure

<0194> the woman <0802> will not be willing <014> to follow me

unto this land <0776>: must I needs bring <07725> thy son

<01121> again <07725> unto the land <0776> from whence <0370>

thou camest <03318>?

6 And Abraham <085> said <0559> unto him, Beware <08104> thou

that thou bring <07725> not my son <01121> thither again <07725>.

7 The LORD <03068> God <0430> of heaven <08064>, which <0834>

took <03947> me from my father's <01> house <01004>, and from

the land <0776> of my kindred <04138>, and which <0834> spake

<01696> unto me, and that sware <07650> unto me, saying <0559>,

Unto thy seed <02233> will I give <05414> this land <0776>; he

shall send <07971> his angel <04397> before <06440> thee, and

thou shalt take <03947> a wife <0802> unto my son <01121> from

thence <08033>.

8 And if the woman <0802> will not be willing <014> to follow

thee, then thou shalt be clear <05352> from this my oath <07621>:

only bring <07725> not my son <01121> thither <08033> again

<07725>.

9 And the servant <05650> put <07760> his hand <03027> under

<08478> the thigh <03409> of Abraham <085> his master <0113>,

and sware <07650> to him concerning <05921> that matter <01697>.

10. And the servant <05650> took <03947> ten <06235> camels

<01581> of the camels <01581> of his master <0113>, and departed

<03212>; for all <03605> the goods <02898> of his master <0113>

[were] in his hand <03027>: and he arose <06965>, and went

<03212> to Mesopotamia <0763>, unto the city <05892> of Nahor

<05152>.

11 And he made his camels <01581> to kneel <01288> down

<01288> without <02351> the city <05892> by a well <0875> of

water <04325> at the time <06256> of the evening <06153>, [even]

the time <06256> that women go <03318> out to draw <07579>

[water].

12 And he said <0559>, O LORD <03068> God <0430> of my master

<0113> Abraham <085>, I pray <04994> thee, send <07136> me good

speed <07136> this day <03117>, and shew <06213> kindness

<02617> unto my master <0113> Abraham <085>.

13 Behold <02009>, I stand <05324> [here] by the well <05869>

of water <04325>; and the daughters <01363> of the men <0582> of

the city <05892> come <03318> out to draw <07579> water <04325>:

14 And let it come <0935> to pass, that the damsel <05291> to

whom <0834> I shall say <0559>, Let <05186> down <05186> thy

pitcher <03537>, I pray <04994> thee, that I may drink <08354>;

and she shall say <0559>, Drink <08354>, and I will give thy

camels <01581> drink <08248> also: [let the same <01931> be] she

[that] thou hast appointed <03198> for thy servant <05650> Isaac

<03327>; and thereby <02004> shall I know <03045> that thou hast

shewed <06213> kindness <02617> unto my master <0113>.

15 And it came <01961> to pass, before <06440> he had done

<03615> speaking <01696>, that, behold <02009>, Rebekah <07259>

came <03318> out, who <0834> was born <03205> to Bethuel <01328>,

son <01121> of Milcah <04435>, the wife <0802> of Nahor <05152>,

Abraham's <085> brother <0251>, with her pitcher <03537> upon

her shoulder <07926>.

16 And the damsel <05291> [was] very <03966> fair <02896> to

look <04758> upon, a virgin <01330>, neither <03808> had any man

<0376> known <03045> her: and she went <03381> down <03381> to

the well <05869>, and filled <04390> her pitcher <03537>, and

came <05927> up.

17 And the servant <05650> ran <07323> to meet <07125> her,

and said <0559>, Let me, I pray <04994> thee, drink <01572> a

little <04592> water <04325> of thy pitcher <03537>.

18 And she said <0559>, Drink <08354>, my lord <0113>: and she

hasted <04116>, and let <03381> down <03381> her pitcher <03537>

upon her hand <03027>, and gave him drink <08248>.

19 And when <03588> she had done <03615> giving him drink

<08248>, she said <0559>, I will draw <07579> [water <04325>]

for thy camels <01581> also, until they have done <03615>

drinking <08354>.

20 And she hasted <04116>, and emptied <06168> her pitcher

<03537> into <0413> the trough <08268>, and ran <07323> again

<05750> unto the well <0875> to draw <07579> [water <04325>],

and drew <08025> for all <03605> his camels <01581>.

21 And the man <0376> wondering <07583> at her held <02790>

his peace <02790>, to wit <03045> whether <0518> the LORD

<03068> had made <06743> his journey <01870> prosperous <06743>

or not.

22 And it came <01961> to pass, as the camels <01581> had done

<03615> drinking <08354>, that the man <0376> took <03947> a

golden <02091> earring <05141> of half <01235> a shekel <01235>

weight <04948>, and two <08147> bracelets <06781> for her hands

<03027> of ten <06235> [shekels <08255>] weight <04948> of gold

<02091>;

23 And said <0559>, Whose <04310> daughter <01323> [art] thou?

tell <05046> me, I pray <04994> thee: is there room <04725> [in]

thy father's <01> house <01004> for us to lodge <03885> in?

24 And she said <0559> unto him, I [am] the daughter <01323>

of Bethuel <01328> the son <01121> of Milcah <04435>, which

<0834> she bare <03205> unto Nahor <05152>.

25 She said <0559> moreover unto him, We have both <01571>

straw <08401> and provender <04554> enough <07227>, and room

<04725> to lodge <03885> in.

26 And the man <0376> bowed <06915> down <06915> his head, and

worshipped <07812> the LORD <03068>.

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

God <0430> of my master <0113> Abraham <085>, who <04310> hath

not left <05800> destitute <05800> my master <0113> of his mercy

<02617> and his truth <0571>: I [being] in the way <01870>, the

LORD <03068> led <05148> me to the house <01004> of my master's

<0113> brethren <0251>.

28 And the damsel <05291> ran <07323>, and told <05046> [them

of] her mother's <0517> house <01004> these things <01697>.

29. And Rebekah <07259> had a brother <0251>, and his name

<08034> [was] Laban <03837>: and Laban <03837> ran <07323> out

unto the man <0376>, unto the well <05869>.

30 And it came <01961> to pass, when <03588> he saw <07200>

the earring <05141> and bracelets <06781> upon his sister's

<0269> hands <03027>, and when <03588> he heard <08085> the

words <01697> of Rebekah <07259> his sister <0269>, saying

<0559>, Thus <03541> spake <01696> the man <0376> unto me; that

he came <0935> unto the man <0376>; and, behold <02009>, he

stood <05975> by the camels <01581> at <05921> the well <05869>.

31 And he said <0559>, Come <0935> in, thou blessed <01288> of

the LORD <03068>; wherefore <04100> standest <05975> thou

without <02351>? for I have prepared <06437> the house <01004>,

and room <04725> for the camels <01581>.

32 And the man <0376> came <0935> into the house <01004>: and

he ungirded <06605> his camels <01581>, and gave <05414> straw

<08401> and provender <04554> for the camels <01581>, and water

<04325> to wash <07364> his feet <07272>, and the men's <0582>

feet <07272> that [were] with him.

33 And there was set <07760> [meat] before <06440> him to eat

<0398>: but he said <0559>, I will not eat <0398>, until I have

told <01696> mine errand <01697>. And he said <0559>, Speak

<01696> on.

34 And he said <0559>, I [am] Abraham's <085> servant <05650>.

35 And the LORD <03068> hath blessed <01288> my master <0113>

greatly <03966>; and he is become <01431> great <01431>: and he

hath given <05414> him flocks <06629>, and herds <01241>, and

silver <03701>, and gold <02091>, and menservants <05650>, and

maidservants <08198>, and camels <01581>, and asses <02543>.

36 And Sarah <08283> my master's <0113> wife <0802> bare

<03205> a son <01121> to my master <0113> when <0310> she was

old <02209>: and unto him hath he given <05414> all <03605> that

he hath.

37 And my master <0113> made me swear <07650>, saying <0559>,

Thou shalt not take <03947> a wife <0802> to my son <01121> of

the daughters <01363> of the Canaanites <03669>, in whose land

<0776> I dwell <03418>:

38 But thou shalt go <03212> unto my father's <01> house

<01004>, and to my kindred <04940>, and take <03947> a wife

<0802> unto my son <01121>.

39 And I said <0559> unto my master <0113>, Peradventure

<0194> the woman <0802> will not follow me.

40 And he said <0559> unto me, The LORD <03068>, before

<06440> whom <0834> I walk <01980>, will send <07971> his angel

<04397> with thee, and prosper <06743> thy way <01870>; and thou

shalt take <03947> a wife <0802> for my son <01121> of my

kindred <04940>, and of my father's <01> house <01004>:

41 Then <0227> shalt thou be clear <05352> from [this] my oath

<0423>, when <03588> thou comest <0935> to my kindred <04940>;

and if <0518> they give <05414> not thee [one], thou shalt be

clear <05355> from my oath <0423>.

42 And I came <0935> this day <03117> unto the well <05869>,

and said <0559>, O LORD <03068> God <0430> of my master <0113>

Abraham <085>, if <0518> now <04994> thou do prosper <06743> my

way <01870> which <0834> I go <01980>:

43 Behold <02009>, I stand <05324> by the well <05869> of

water <04325>; and it shall come <01961> to pass, that when

<03588> the virgin <05959> cometh <03318> forth <03318> to draw

<07579> [water], and I say <0559> to her, Give me, I pray

<04994> thee, a little <04592> water <04325> of thy pitcher

<03537> to drink <08248>;

44 And she say <0559> to me, Both <08147> drink <08354> thou,

and I will also <01571> draw <07579> for thy camels <01581>:

[let] the same <01931> [be] the woman <0802> whom <0834> the

LORD <03068> hath appointed <03198> out for my master's <0113>

son <01121>.

45 And before <02962> I had done <03615> speaking <01696> in

mine heart <03820>, behold <02009>, Rebekah <07259> came <03318>

forth <03318> with her pitcher <03537> on <05921> her shoulder

<07926>; and she went <03381> down <03381> unto the well <05869>,

and drew <07579> [water <04325>]: and I said <0559> unto her,

Let me drink <08248>, I pray <04994> thee.

46 And she made haste <04116>, and let <03381> down <03381>

her pitcher <03537> from her [shoulder], and said <0559>, Drink

<08354>, and I will give thy camels <01581> drink <08248> also

<01571>: so I drank <08354>, and she made the camels <01581>

drink <08354> also <01571>.

47 And I asked <07592> her, and said <0559>, Whose daughter

<01323> [art] thou? And she said <0559>, The daughter <01323> of

Bethuel <01328>, Nahor's <05152> son <01121>, whom <0834> Milcah

<04435> bare <03205> unto him: and I put <07760> the earring

<05141> upon her face <0639>, and the bracelets <06781> upon her

hands <03027>.

48 And I bowed <06915> down <06915> my head, and worshipped

<07812> the LORD <03068>, and blessed <01288> the LORD <03068>

God <0430> of my master <0113> Abraham <085>, which <0834> had

led <05148> me in the right <0571> way <01870> to take <03947>

my master's <0113> brother's <0251> daughter <01323> unto his

son <01121>.

49 And now <06258> if <0518> ye will deal <06213> kindly

<02617> and truly <0571> with my master <0113>, tell <05046> me:

and if <0518> not, tell <05046> me; that I may turn <06437> to

the right <03225> hand <03225>, or <0176> to the left <08040>.

50 Then Laban <03837> and Bethuel <01328> answered <06030> and

said <0559>, The thing <01697> proceedeth <03318> from the LORD

<03068>: we cannot speak <01696> unto thee bad <07451> or <0176>

good <02896>.

51 Behold <02009>, Rebekah <07259> [is] before <06440> thee,

take <03947> [her], and go <03212>, and let her be thy master's

<0113> son's <01121> wife <0802>, as the LORD <03068> hath

spoken <01696>.

52 And it came <01961> to pass, that, when Abraham's <085>

servant <05650> heard <08085> their words <01697>, he worshipped

<07812> the LORD <03068>, [bowing himself] to the earth <0776>.

53 And the servant <05650> brought <03318> forth <03318>

jewels <03627> of silver <03701>, and jewels <03627> of gold

<02091>, and raiment <0899>, and gave <05414> [them] to Rebekah

<07259>: he gave <05414> also to her brother <0251> and to her

mother <0517> precious <04030> things.

54. And they did eat <0398> and drink <08354>, he and the men

<0582> that [were] with him, and tarried <03885> all <03885>

night; and they rose <06965> up in the morning <01242>, and he

said <0559>, Send <07971> me away unto my master <0113>.

55 And her brother <0251> and her mother <0517> said <0559>,

Let the damsel <05291> abide <03427> with us [a few] days

<03117>, at <0176> the least <0176> ten <06218>; after <0310>

that she shall go <03212>.

56 And he said <0559> unto them, Hinder <0309> me not, seeing

the LORD <03068> hath prospered <06743> my way <01870>; send

<07971> me away that I may go <03212> to my master <0113>.

57 And they said <0559>, We will call <07121> the damsel

<05291>, and enquire <07592> at her mouth <06310>.

58 And they called <07121> Rebekah <07259>, and said <0559>

unto her, Wilt thou go <03212> with this <02088> man <0376>? And

she said <0559>, I will go <03212>.

59 And they sent <07971> away Rebekah <07259> their sister

<0269>, and her nurse <03243>, and Abraham's <085> servant

<05650>, and his men <0582>.

60 And they blessed <01288> Rebekah <07259>, and said <0559>

unto her, Thou [art] our sister <0269>, be thou [the mother] of

thousands <0505> of millions <07233>, and let thy seed <02233>

possess <03423> the gate <08179> of those which hate <08130>

them.

61 And Rebekah <07259> arose <06965>, and her damsels <05291>,

and they rode <07392> upon the camels <01581>, and followed the

man <0376>: and the servant <05650> took <03947> Rebekah <07259>,

and went <03212> his way <03212>.

62. And Isaac <03327> came <0935> from the way <0935> of the

well Lahairoi <0883>; for he dwelt <03427> in the south <05045>

country <0776>.

63 And Isaac <03327> went <03318> out to meditate in the field

<07704> at the eventide: and he lifted <05375> up his eyes

<05869>, and saw <07200>, and, behold <02009>, the camels

<01581> [were] coming <0935>.

64 And Rebekah <07259> lifted <05375> up her eyes <05869>, and

when she saw <07200> Isaac <03327>, she lighted <05307> off

<05921> the camel <01581>.

65 For she [had] said <0559> unto the servant <05650>, What

<04310> man <0376> [is] this <01976> that walketh <01980> in the

field <07704> to meet <07125> us? And the servant <05650> [had]

said <0559>, It [is] my master <0113>: therefore she took

<03947> a vail <06809>, and covered <03680> herself.

66 And the servant <05650> told <05608> Isaac <03327> all

<03605> things <01697> that he had done <06213>.

67 And Isaac <03327> brought <0935> her into his mother <0517>

Sarah's <08283> tent <0168>, and took <03947> Rebekah <07259>,

and she became <01961> his wife <0802>; and he loved <0157> her:

and Isaac <03327> was comforted <05162> after <0310> his

mother's <0517> [death].

Genesis 25

1. Then again <03254> Abraham <085> took <03947> a wife <0802>,

and her name <08034> [was] Keturah <06989>.

2 And she bare <03205> him Zimran <02175>, and Jokshan <03370>,

and Medan <04091>, and Midian <04080>, and Ishbak <03435>, and

Shuah <07774>.

3 And Jokshan <03370> begat <03205> Sheba <07614>, and Dedan

<01719>. And the sons <01121> of Dedan <01719> were Asshurim

<0805>, and Letushim <03912>, and Leummim <03817>.

4 And the sons <01121> of Midian <04080>; Ephah <05891>, and

Epher <06081>, and Hanoch <02585>, and Abida <028>, and Eldaah

<0420>. All <03605> these <0428> [were] the children <01121> of

Keturah <06989>.

5 And Abraham <085> gave <05414> all <03605> that he had unto

Isaac <03327>.

6 But unto the sons <01121> of the concubines <06370>, which

<0834> Abraham <085> had, Abraham <085> gave <05414> gifts

<04979>, and sent <07971> them away from Isaac <03327> his son

<01121>, while he yet lived <02416>, eastward <06924>, unto the

east <06924> country <0776>.

7 And these <0428> [are] the days <03117> of the years <08141>

of Abraham's <085> life <02416> which <0834> he lived <02425>,

an hundred <03967> threescore <07657> and fifteen <02568> years

<08141>.

8 Then Abraham <085> gave up the ghost <01478>, and died

<04191> in a good <02896> old <07872> age <07872>, an old

<02205> man, and full <07649> [of years]; and was gathered

<0622> to his people <05971>.

9 And his sons <01121> Isaac <03327> and Ishmael <03458>

buried <06912> him in the cave <04631> of Machpelah <04375>, in

the field <07704> of Ephron <06085> the son <01121> of Zohar

<06714> the Hittite <02850>, which <0834> [is] before Mamre

<04471>;

10 The field <07704> which <0834> Abraham <085> purchased

<07069> of the sons <01121> of Heth <02845>: there <08033> was

Abraham <085> buried <06912>, and Sarah <08283> his wife <0802>.

11. And it came <01061> to pass after <0310> the death <04194>

of Abraham <085>, that God <0430> blessed <01288> his son

<01121> Isaac <03327>; and Isaac <03327> dwelt <03427> by the

well <0883> Lahairoi <0883>.

12 Now these <0428> [are] the generations <08435> of Ishmael

<03458>, Abraham's <085> son <01121>, whom <0834> Hagar <01904>

the Egyptian <04713>, Sarah's <08283> handmaid <08198>, bare

<03205> unto Abraham <085>:

13 And these <0428> [are] the names <08034> of the sons

<01121> of Ishmael <03458>, by their names <08034>, according to

their generations <08435>: the firstborn <01060> of Ishmael

<03458>, Nebajoth <05032>; and Kedar <06938>, and Adbeel <0110>,

and Mibsam <04017>,

14 And Mishma <04927>, and Dumah <01746>, and Massa <04854>,

15 Hadar <01924>, and Tema <08485>, Jetur <03195>, Naphish

<05305>, and Kedemah <06929>:

16 These <0428> [are] the sons <01121> of Ishmael <03458>, and

these <0428> [are] their names <08034>, by their towns <02691>,

and by their castles <02918>; twelve princes <05387> according

to their nations <0523>.

17 And these <0428> [are] the years <08141> of the life

<02416> of Ishmael <03458>, an hundred <03967> and thirty

<07970> and seven <07651> years <08141>: and he gave up the

ghost <01478> and died <04191>; and was gathered <0622> unto his

people <05971>.

18 And they dwelt <07931> from Havilah <02341> unto Shur

<07793>, that [is] before Egypt <04714>, as thou goest <0935>

toward Assyria <0804>: [and] he died <05307> in the presence

<06440> of all <03605> his brethren <0251>.

19. And these <0428> [are] the generations <08435> of Isaac

<03327>, Abraham's <085> son <01121>: Abraham <085> begat

<03205> Isaac <03327>:

20 And Isaac <03327> was forty <0705> years <08141> old

<01121> when he took <03947> Rebekah <07259> to wife <0802>, the

daughter <01323> of Bethuel <01328> the Syrian <0761> of

Padanaram <06307>, the sister <0269> to Laban <03837> the Syrian

<0761>.

21 And Isaac <03327> intreated <06279> the LORD <03068> for

his wife <0802>, because <03588> she [was] barren <06135>: and

the LORD <03068> was intreated <06279> of him, and Rebekah

<07259> his wife <0802> conceived <02030>.

22 And the children <01121> struggled <07533> together within

<07130> her; and she said <0559>, If <0518> [it be] so <03651>,

why <04100> [am] I thus <02088>? And she went <03212> to enquire

<01875> of the LORD <03068>.

23 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto her, Two <08147>

nations <01471> [are] in thy womb <0990>, and two <08147> manner

of people <03816> shall be separated <06504> from thy bowels

<04578>; and [the one] people <03816> shall be stronger <0553>

than [the other] people <03816>; and the elder <07227> shall

serve <05647> the younger <06810>.

24 And when her days <03117> to be delivered <03205> were

fulfilled <04390>, behold <02009>, [there were] twins <08380> in

her womb <0990>.

25 And the first <07223> came <03318> out red <0132>, all

<03605> over like an hairy <08181> garment <0155>; and they

called <07121> his name <08034> Esau <06215>.

26 And after <0310> that came <03318> his brother <0251> out,

and his hand <03027> took hold <0270> on Esau's <06215> heel

<06119>; and his name <08034> was called <07121> Jacob <03290>:

and Isaac <03327> [was] threescore <08346> years <08141> old

<01121> when she bare <03205> them.

27 And the boys <05288> grew <01431>: and Esau <06215> was a

cunning <03045> hunter <06718>, a man <0376> of the field

<07704>; and Jacob <03290> [was] a plain <08535> man <0376>,

dwelling <03427> in tents <0168>.

28 And Isaac <03327> loved <0157> Esau <06215>, because

<03588> he did eat <06310> of [his] venison <06718>: but Rebekah

<07259> loved <0157> Jacob <03290>.

29. And Jacob <03290> sod <02102> pottage <05138>: and Esau

<06215> came <0935> from the field <07704>, and he [was] faint

<05889>:

30 And Esau <06215> said <0559> to Jacob <03290>, Feed <03938>

me, I pray <04994> thee, with that same <02088> red <0122>

[pottage]; for I [am] faint <05889>: therefore was his name

<08034> called <07121> Edom <0123>.

31 And Jacob <03290> said <0559>, Sell <04376> me this day

<03117> thy birthright <01062>.

32 And Esau <06215> said <0559>, Behold <02009>, I [am] at the

point <01980> to die <04191>: and what <04100> profit shall this

<02088> birthright <01062> do to me?

33 And Jacob <03290> said <0559>, Swear <07650> to me this day

<03117>; and he sware <07650> unto him: and he sold <04376> his

birthright <01062> unto Jacob <03290>.

34 Then Jacob <03290> gave <05414> Esau <06215> bread <03899>

and pottage <05138> of lentiles <05742>; and he did eat <0398>

and drink <08354>, and rose <06965> up, and went <03212> his way

<03212>: thus Esau <06215> despised <0959> [his] birthright

<01062>.

Genesis 26

1. And there was a famine <07458> in the land <0776>, beside

<0905> the first <07223> famine <07458> that was in the days

<03117> of Abraham <085>. And Isaac <03327> went <03212> unto

Abimelech <040> king <04428> of the Philistines <06430> unto

Gerar <01642>.

2 And the LORD <03068> appeared <07200> unto him, and said

<0559>, Go <03381> not down <03381> into Egypt <04714>; dwell

<07931> in the land <0776> which <0834> I shall tell <0559> thee

of:

3 Sojourn <01481> in this <02063> land <0776>, and I will be

with thee, and will bless <01288> thee; for unto thee, and unto

thy seed <02233>, I will give <05414> all <03605> these <0411>

countries <0776>, and I will perform <06965> the oath <07621>

which <0834> I sware <07650> unto Abraham <085> thy father <01>;

4 And I will make thy seed <02233> to multiply <07235> as the

stars <03556> of heaven <08064>, and will give <05414> unto thy

seed <02233> all <03605> these <0411> countries <0776>; and in

thy seed <02233> shall all <03605> the nations <01471> of the

earth <0776> be blessed <01288>;

5 Because <06119> that Abraham <085> obeyed <08085> my voice

<06963>, and kept <08104> my charge <04931>, my commandments

<04687>, my statutes <02708>, and my laws <08451>.

6. And Isaac <03327> dwelt <03427> in Gerar <01642>:

7 And the men <0582> of the place <04725> asked <07592> [him]

of his wife <0802>; and he said <0559>, She [is] my sister

<0269>: for he feared <03372> to say <0559>, [She is] my wife

<0802>; lest <06435>, [said <0559> he], the men <0582> of the

place <04725> should kill <02026> me for Rebekah <07259>;

because <03588> she [was] fair <02896> to look <04758> upon.

8 And it came <01961> to pass, when <03588> he had been there

<08033> a long <0748> time <03117>, that Abimelech <040> king

<04428> of the Philistines <06430> looked <08259> out at <01157>

a window <02474>, and saw <07200>, and, behold <02009>, Isaac

<03327> [was] sporting <06711> with Rebekah <07259> his wife

<0802>.

9 And Abimelech <040> called <07121> Isaac <03327>, and said

<0559>, Behold <02009>, of a surety <0389> she [is] thy wife

<0802>: and how <0349> saidst <0559> thou, She [is] my sister

<0269>? And Isaac <03327> said <0559> unto him, Because <03588>

I said <0559>, Lest <06435> I die <04191> for her.

10 And Abimelech <040> said <0559>, What <04100> [is] this

<02063> thou hast done <06213> unto us? one <0259> of the people

<05971> might lightly <04592> have lien <07901> with thy wife

<0802>, and thou shouldest have brought <0935> guiltiness <0817>

upon us.

11 And Abimelech <040> charged <06680> all <03605> [his]

people <05971>, saying <0559>, He that toucheth <05060> this

<02088> man <0376> or his wife <0802> shall surely be put to

death <04194>.

12. Then Isaac <03327> sowed <02232> in that land <0776>, and

received <04672> in the same <01931> year <08141> an hundredfold:

and the LORD <03068> blessed <01288> him.

13 And the man <0376> waxed great <01431>, and went <03212>

forward <01980>, and grew <01432> until <05704> he became

<01431> very <03966> great <01431>:

14 For he had possession <04735> of flocks <06629>, and

possession <04735> of herds <01241>, and great <07227> store of

servants <05657>: and the Philistines <06430> envied <07065> him.

15 For all <03605> the wells <0875> which <0834> his father's

<01> servants <05650> had digged <02658> in the days <03117> of

Abraham <085> his father <01>, the Philistines <06430> had

stopped <05640> them, and filled <04390> them with earth <06083>.

16 And Abimelech <040> said <0559> unto Isaac <03327>, Go

<03212> from us; for thou art much <03966> mightier <06105> than

we.

17 And Isaac <03327> departed <03212> thence <08033>, and

pitched <02583> his tent in the valley <05158> of Gerar <01642>,

and dwelt <03427> there <08033>.

18 And Isaac <03327> digged <02658> again <07725> the wells

<0875> of water <04325>, which <0834> they had digged <02658> in

the days <03117> of Abraham <085> his father <01>; for the

Philistines <06430> had stopped <05640> them after <0310> the

death <04194> of Abraham <085>: and he called <07121> their

names <08034> after the names <08034> by which <0834> his father

<01> had called <07121> them.

19 And Isaac's <03327> servants <05650> digged <02658> in the

valley <05158>, and found <04672> there <08033> a well <0875> of

springing <02416> water <04325>.

20 And the herdmen <07462> of Gerar <01642> did strive <07378>

with Isaac's <03327> herdmen <07462>, saying <0559>, The water

<04325> [is] ours: and he called <07121> the name <08034> of the

well <0875> Esek <06320>; because <03588> they strove <06229>

with him.

21 And they digged <02658> another <0312> well <0875>, and

strove <07378> for that also <01571>: and he called <07121> the

name <08034> of it Sitnah <07856>.

22 And he removed <06275> from thence <08033>, and digged

<02658> another <0312> well <0875>; and for that they strove

<07378> not: and he called <07121> the name <08034> of it

Rehoboth <07344>; and he said <0559>, For now <06258> the LORD

<03068> hath made room <07337> for us, and we shall be fruitful

<06509> in the land <0776>.

23 And he went <05927> up from thence <08033> to Beersheba

<0884>.

24 And the LORD <03068> appeared <07200> unto him the same

<01931> night <03915>, and said <0559>, I [am] the God <0430> of

Abraham <085> thy father <01>: fear <03372> not, for I [am] with

thee, and will bless <01288> thee, and multiply <07235> thy seed

<02233> for my servant <05650> Abraham's <085> sake <05668>.

25 And he builded <01129> an altar <04196> there <08033>, and

called <07121> upon the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>, and

pitched <05186> his tent <0168> there <08033>: and there <08033>

Isaac's <03327> servants <05650> digged <03738> a well <0875>.

26. Then Abimelech <040> went <01980> to him from Gerar <01642>,

and Ahuzzath <0276> one of his friends <04828>, and Phichol

<06369> the chief captain <08269> of his army <06635>.

27 And Isaac <03327> said <0559> unto them, Wherefore <04069>

come <0935> ye to me, seeing <07200> ye hate <08130> me, and

have sent <07971> me away from you?

28 And they said <0559>, We saw <07200> certainly that the

LORD <03068> was with thee: and we said <0559>, Let there be now

<04994> an oath <0423> betwixt <0996> us, [even] betwixt <0996>

us and thee, and let us make <03772> a covenant <01285> with

thee;

29 That thou wilt do <06213> us no <03808> hurt <07451>, as we

have not touched <05060> thee, and as we have done <06213> unto

thee nothing <07535> but good <02896>, and have <01961> sent

<07971> thee away in peace <07965>: thou [art] now <06258> the

blessed <01288> of the LORD <03068>.

30 And he made <06213> them a feast <04960>, and they did eat

<0398> and drink <08354>.

31 And they rose <07925> up betimes <07925> in the morning

<01242>, and sware <07650> one <0376> to another <0312>: and

Isaac <03327> sent <07971> them away, and they departed <03212>

from him in peace <07965>.

32 And it came <01961> to pass the same <01931> day <03117>,

that Isaac's <03327> servants <05650> came <0935>, and told

<05046> him concerning the well <0875> which <0834> they had

digged <02658>, and said <0559> unto him, We have found <04672>

water <04325>.

33 And he called <07121> it Shebah <07656>: therefore the name

<08034> of the city <05892> [is] Beersheba <0884> unto this

<02088> day <03117>.

34. And Esau <06215> was forty <0705> years <08141> old <01121>

when <03588> he took <03947> to wife <0802> Judith <03067> the

daughter <01323> of Beeri <0882> the Hittite <02850>, and

Bashemath <01315> the daughter <01323> of Elon <0356> the

Hittite <02850>:

35 Which <0834> were a grief <04786> of mind <07307> unto

Isaac <03327> and to Rebekah <07259>.

Genesis 27

1. And it came <01961> to pass, that when <03588> Isaac <03327>

was old <02204>, and his eyes <05869> were dim <03543>, so that

he could not see <07200>, he called <07121> Esau <06215> his

eldest <01419> son <01121>, and said <0559> unto him, My son

<01121>: and he said <0559> unto him, Behold <02009>, [here am]

2 And he said <0559>, Behold <02009> now <04994>, I am old

<02204>, I know <03045> not the day <03117> of my death <04194>:

3 Now <06258> therefore take <05375>, I pray <04994> thee, thy

weapons <03627>, thy quiver <08522> and thy bow <07198>, and go

<03318> out to the field <07704>, and take <06679> me [some]

venison <06720>;

4 And make <06213> me savoury <04303> meat, such as I love

<0157>, and bring <0935> [it] to me, that I may eat <0398>; that

my soul <05315> may bless <01288> thee before <02962> I die

<04191>.

5 And Rebekah <07259> heard <08085> when <03588> Isaac <03327>

spake <01696> to Esau <06215> his son <01121>. And Esau <06215>

went <03212> to the field <07704> to hunt <06679> [for] venison

<06718>, [and] to bring <0935> [it].

6. And Rebekah <07259> spake <0559> unto Jacob <03290> her son

<01121>, saying <0559>, Behold <02009>, I heard <08085> thy

father <01> speak <01696> unto Esau <06215> thy brother <0251>,

saying <0559>,

7 Bring <0935> me venison <06718>, and make <06213> me savoury

<04303> meat, that I may eat <0398>, and bless <01288> thee

before <06440> the LORD <03068> before <06440> my death <04194>.

8 Now <06258> therefore, my son <01121>, obey <08085> my voice

<06963> according to that which <0834> I command <06680> thee.

9 Go <03212> now <04994> to the flock <06629>, and fetch

<03947> me from thence <08033> two <08147> good <02896> kids

<01423> of the goats <05795>; and I will make <06213> them

savoury <04303> meat for thy father <01>, such as he loveth

<0157>:

10 And thou shalt bring <0935> [it] to thy father <01>, that

he may eat <0398>, and that he may bless <01288> thee before

<06440> his death <04194>.

11 And Jacob <03290> said <0559> to Rebekah <07259> his mother

<0517>, Behold <02005>, Esau <06215> my brother <0251> [is] a

hairy <08163> man <0376>, and I [am] a smooth <02509> man <0376>:

12 My father <01> peradventure <0194> will feel <04959> me,

and I shall seem to him as a deceiver <08591>; and I shall bring

<0935> a curse <07045> upon me, and not a blessing <01293>.

13 And his mother <0517> said <0559> unto him, Upon me [be]

thy curse <07045>, my son <01121>: only obey <08085> my voice

<06963>, and go <03212> fetch <03947> me [them].

14 And he went <03212>, and fetched <03947>, and brought

<0935> [them] to his mother <0517>: and his mother <0517> made

<06213> savoury <04303> meat, such as his father <01> loved

<0157>.

15 And Rebekah <07259> took <03947> goodly <02530> raiment

<0899> of her eldest <01419> son <01121> Esau <06215>, which

<0834> [were] with her in the house <01004>, and put <03847>

them upon Jacob <03290> her younger <06996> son <01121>:

16 And she put <03847> the skins <05785> of the kids <01423>

of the goats <05795> upon his hands <03027>, and upon the smooth

<02513> of his neck <06677>:

17 And she gave <05414> the savoury <04303> meat and the bread

<03899>, which <0834> she had prepared <06213>, into the hand

<03027> of her son <01121> Jacob <03290>.

18. And he came <0935> unto his father <01>, and said <0559>,

My father <01>: and he said <0559>, Here <02009> [am] I; who

<04310> [art] thou, my son <01121>?

19 And Jacob <03290> said <0559> unto his father <01>, I [am]

Esau <06215> thy firstborn <01060>; I have done <06213>

according as thou badest <01696> me: arise <06965>, I pray

<04994> thee, sit <03427> and eat <0398> of my venison <06718>,

that thy soul <05315> may bless <01288> me.

20 And Isaac <03327> said <0559> unto his son <01121>, How

<04100> [is it] that thou hast found <04672> [it] so quickly

<04116>, my son <01121>? And he said <0559>, Because <03588> the

LORD <03068> thy God <0430> brought <07136> [it] to me.

21 And Isaac <03327> said <0559> unto Jacob <03290>, Come

<05066> near <05066>, I pray <04994> thee, that I may feel

<04184> thee, my son <01121>, whether thou [be] my very <02088>

son <01121> Esau <06215> or not.

22 And Jacob <03290> went <05066> near <05066> unto Isaac

<03327> his father <01>; and he felt <04959> him, and said

<0559>, The voice <06963> [is] Jacob's <03290> voice <06963>,

but the hands <03027> [are] the hands <03027> of Esau <06215>.

23 And he discerned <05234> him not, because <03588> his hands

<03027> were hairy <08163>, as his brother <0251> Esau's <06215>

hands <03027>: so he blessed <01288> him.

24 And he said <0559>, [Art] thou my very <02088> son <01121>

Esau <06215>? And he said <0559>, I [am].

25 And he said <0559>, Bring <05066> [it] near <05066> to me,

and I will eat <0398> of my son's <01121> venison <06718>, that

my soul <05315> may bless <01288> thee. And he brought <05066>

[it] near <05066> to him, and he did eat <0398>: and he brought

<0935> him wine <03196>, and he drank <08354>.

26 And his father <01> Isaac <03327> said <0559> unto him,

Come <05066> near <05066> now <04994>, and kiss <05401> me, my

son <01121>.

27 And he came <05066> near <05066>, and kissed <05401> him:

and he smelled <07306> the smell <07381> of his raiment <0899>,

and blessed <01288> him, and said <0559>, See <07200>, the smell

<07381> of my son <01121> [is] as the smell <07381> of a field

<07704> which <0834> the LORD <03068> hath blessed <01288>:

28 Therefore God <0430> give <05414> thee of the dew <02919>

of heaven <08064>, and the fatness <04924> of the earth <0776>,

and plenty <07230> of corn <01715> and wine <08492>:

29 Let people <05971> serve <05647> thee, and nations <03816>

bow <07812> down <07812> to thee: be lord <01376> over thy

brethren <0251>, and let thy mother's <0517> sons <01121> bow

<07812> down <07812> to thee: cursed <0779> [be] every one that

curseth <0779> thee, and blessed <01288> [be] he that blesseth

<01288> thee.

30. And it came <01961> to pass, as soon <0834> as Isaac

<03327> had made an end <03615> of blessing <01293> Jacob

<03290>, and Jacob <03290> was yet <0389> scarce gone <03318>

out from the presence <06440> of Isaac <03327> his father <01>,

that Esau <06215> his brother <0251> came <0935> in from his

hunting <06718>.

31 And he also <01571> had made <06213> savoury <04303> meat,

and brought <0935> it unto his father <01>, and said <0559> unto

his father <01>, Let my father <01> arise <06965>, and eat

<0398> of his son's <01121> venison <06718>, that thy soul

<05315> may bless <01288> me.

32 And Isaac <03327> his father <01> said <0559> unto him, Who

<04310> [art] thou? And he said <0559>, I [am] thy son <01121>,

thy firstborn <01060> Esau <06215>.

33 And Isaac <03327> trembled <02729> very <01419> exceedingly

<01419>, and said <0559>, Who <04310>? where <0645> [is] he that

hath taken <06679> venison <06718>, and brought <0935> [it] me,

and I have eaten <0398> of all <03605> before <02962> thou

camest <0935>, and have blessed <01288> him? yea <01571>, [and]

he shall be blessed <01288>.

34 And when Esau <06215> heard <08085> the words <01697> of

his father <01>, he cried <06817> with a great <01419> and

exceeding <03966> bitter <04751> cry <06818>, and said <0559>

unto his father <01>, Bless <01288> me, [even <01571>] me also

<01571>, O my father <01>.

35 And he said <0559>, Thy brother <0251> came <0935> with

subtilty <04820>, and hath taken <03947> away thy blessing

<01293>.

36 And he said <0559>, Is not he rightly <03588> named Jacob

<03290>? for he hath supplanted <06117> me these <02088> two

<06471> times <06471>: he took <03947> away my birthright

<01062>; and, behold <02009>, now <06258> he hath taken <03947>

away my blessing <01293>. And he said <0559>, Hast thou not

reserved <0680> a blessing <01293> for me?

37 And Isaac <03327> answered <06030> and said <0559> unto

Esau <06215>, Behold <02005>, I have made <07760> him thy lord

<01376>, and all <03605> his brethren <0251> have I given

<05414> to him for servants <05650>; and with corn <01715> and

wine <08492> have I sustained <05564> him: and what <04100>

shall I do <06213> now <0645> unto thee, my son <01121>?

38 And Esau <06215> said <0559> unto his father <01>, Hast

thou but one <0259> blessing <01293>, my father <01>? bless

<01288> me, [even <01571>] me also <01571>, O my father <01>.

And Esau <06215> lifted <05375> up his voice <06963>, and wept

<01058>.

39 And Isaac <03327> his father <01> answered <06030> and said

<0559> unto him, Behold <02009>, thy dwelling <04186> shall be

the fatness <04924> of the earth <0776>, and of the dew <02919>

of heaven <08064> from above <05921>;

40 And by thy sword <02719> shalt thou live <02421>, and shalt

serve <05647> thy brother <0251>; and it shall come <01961> to

pass when <0834> thou shalt have the dominion <07300>, that thou

shalt break <06561> his yoke <05923> from off <05921> thy neck

<06677>.

41. And Esau <06215> hated <07852> Jacob <03290> because

<05921> of the blessing <01293> wherewith <0834> his father <01>

blessed <01288> him: and Esau <06215> said <0559> in his heart

<03820>, The days <03117> of mourning <060> for my father <01>

are at <07126> hand <07126>; then will I slay <02026> my brother

<0251> Jacob <03290>.

42 And these words <01697> of Esau <06215> her elder <01419>

son <01121> were told <05046> to Rebekah <07259>: and she sent

<07971> and called <07121> Jacob <03290> her younger <06996> son

<01121>, and said <0559> unto him, Behold <02009>, thy brother

<0251> Esau <06215>, as touching thee, doth comfort <05162>

himself, [purposing] to kill <02026> thee.

43 Now <06258> therefore, my son <01121>, obey <08085> my

voice <06963>; and arise <06965>, flee <01272> thou to Laban

<03837> my brother <0251> to Haran <02771>;

44 And tarry <03427> with him a few <0259> days <03117>, until

thy brother's <0251> fury <02534> turn <07725> away;

45 Until <05704> thy brother's <0251> anger <0639> turn

<07725> away from thee, and he forget <07911> [that] which

<0834> thou hast done <06213> to him: then I will send <07971>,

and fetch <03947> thee from thence <08033>: why <04100> should I

be deprived <07921> also <01571> of you both <08147> in one

<0259> day <03117>?

46 And Rebekah <07259> said <0559> to Isaac <03327>, I am

weary <06973> of my life <02416> because <06440> of the

daughters <01363> of Heth <02845>: if <0518> Jacob <03290> take

<03947> a wife <0802> of the daughters <01363> of Heth <02845>,

such as these <0428> [which <0834> are] of the daughters <01363>

of the land <0776>, what <04100> good shall my life <02416> do

me?

Genesis 28

1. And Isaac <03327> called <07121> Jacob <03290>, and blessed

<01288> him, and charged <06680> him, and said <0559> unto him,

Thou shalt not take <03947> a wife <0802> of the daughters

<01363> of Canaan <03667>.

2 Arise <06965>, go <03212> to Padanaram <06307>, to the house

<01004> of Bethuel <01328> thy mother's <0517> father <01>; and

take <03947> thee a wife <0802> from thence <08033> of the

daughters <01363> of Laban <03837> thy mother's <0517> brother

<0251>.

3 And God <0410> Almighty <07706> bless <01288> thee, and make

thee fruitful <06509>, and multiply <07235> thee, that thou

mayest be a multitude <06951> of people <05971>;

4 And give <05414> thee the blessing <01293> of Abraham <085>,

to thee, and to thy seed <02233> with thee; that thou mayest

inherit <03423> the land <0776> wherein thou art a stranger

<04033>, which <0834> God <0430> gave <05414> unto Abraham <085>.

5 And Isaac <03327> sent <07971> away Jacob <03290>: and he

went <03212> to Padanaram <06307> unto Laban <03837>, son

<01121> of Bethuel <01328> the Syrian <0761>, the brother <0251>

of Rebekah <07259>, Jacob's <03290> and Esau's <06215> mother

<0517>.

6. When Esau <06215> saw <07200> that Isaac <03327> had blessed

<01288> Jacob <03290>, and sent <07971> him away to Padanaram

<06307>, to take <03947> him a wife <0802> from thence <08033>;

and that as he blessed <01288> him he gave him a charge <06680>,

saying <0559>, Thou shalt not take <03947> a wife <0802> of the

daughters <01363> of Canaan <03667>;

7 And that Jacob <03290> obeyed <08085> his father <01> and

his mother <0517>, and was gone <03212> to Padanaram <06307>;

8 And Esau <06215> seeing <07200> that the daughters <01363>

of Canaan <03667> pleased not Isaac <03327> his father <01>;

9 Then went <03212> Esau <06215> unto Ishmael <03458>, and

took <03947> unto the wives <0802> which he had Mahalath <04258>

the daughter <01323> of Ishmael <03458> Abraham's <085> son

<01121>, the sister <0269> of Nebajoth <05032>, to be his wife

<0802>.

10. And Jacob <03290> went <03318> out from Beersheba <0884>,

and went <03212> toward Haran <02771>.

11 And he lighted <06293> upon a certain place <04725>, and

tarried <03885> there <08033> all <03885> night, because <03588>

the sun <08121> was set <0935>; and he took <03947> of the

stones <068> of that place <04725>, and put <07760> [them for]

his pillows <04763>, and lay <07901> down in that place <04725>

to sleep <07901>.

12 And he dreamed <02492>, and behold <02009> a ladder <05551>

set <05324> up on the earth <0776>, and the top <07218> of it

reached <05060> to heaven <08064>: and behold <02009> the angels

<04397> of God <0430> ascending <05927> and descending <03381>

on it.

13 And, behold <02009>, the LORD <03068> stood <05324> above

<05921> it, and said <0559>, I [am] the LORD <03068> God <0430>

of Abraham <085> thy father <01>, and the God <0430> of Isaac

<03327>: the land <0776> whereon thou liest <07901>, to thee

will I give <05414> it, and to thy seed <02233>;

14 And thy seed <02233> shall be as the dust <06083> of the

earth <0776>, and thou shalt spread <06555> abroad <06555> to

the west <03220>, and to the east <06924>, and to the north

<06828>, and to the south <05045>: and in thee and in thy seed

<02233> shall all <03605> the families <04940> of the earth

<0127> be blessed <01288>.

15 And, behold <02009>, I [am] with thee, and will keep

<08104> thee in all <03605> [places] whither <0834> thou goest

<03212>, and will bring <07725> thee again <07725> into <0413>

this <02063> land <0127>; for I will not leave <05800> thee,

until I have done <06213> [that] which <0834> I have spoken

<01696> to thee of.

16. And Jacob <03290> awaked <03364> out of his sleep <08142>,

and he said <0559>, Surely <0403> the LORD <03068> is in this

<02088> place <04725>; and I knew <03045> [it] not.

17 And he was afraid <03372>, and said <0559>, How <04100>

dreadful <03372> [is] this <02088> place <04725>! this <02088>

[is] none <0369> other but the house <01004> of God <0430>, and

this <02088> [is] the gate <08179> of heaven <08064>.

18 And Jacob <03290> rose <07925> up early <07925> in the

morning <01242>, and took <03947> the stone <068> that he had

put <07760> [for] his pillows <04763>, and set <07760> it up

[for] a pillar <04676>, and poured <03332> oil <08081> upon the

top <07218> of it.

19 And he called <07121> the name <08034> of that place

<04725> Bethel <01008>: but the name <08034> of that city

<05892> [was called] Luz <03870> at the first <07223>.

20 And Jacob <03290> vowed <05087> a vow <05088>, saying

<0559>, If <0518> God <0430> will be with me, and will keep

<08104> me in this <02088> way <01870> that I go <01980>, and

will give <05414> me bread <03899> to eat <0398>, and raiment

<0899> to put <03847> on,

21 So that I come <07725> again <07725> to my father's <01>

house <01004> in peace <07965>; then shall the LORD <03068> be

my God <0430>:

22 And this <02063> stone <068>, which <0834> I have set

<07760> [for] a pillar <04676>, shall be God's <0430> house

<01004>: and of all <03605> that thou shalt give <05414> me I

will surely give the tenth <06237> unto thee.

Genesis 29

1. Then Jacob <03290> went on his journey, and came <03212>

into <0413> the land <0776> of the people <01121> of the east

<06924>.

2 And he looked <07200>, and behold <02009> a well <0875> in

the field <07704>, and, lo <02009>, there <08033> [were] three

<07969> flocks <05739> of sheep <06629> lying <07257> by it; for

out of that well <0875> they watered <08248> the flocks <05739>:

and a great <01419> stone <068> [was] upon the well's <0875>

mouth <06310>.

3 And thither <08033> were all <03605> the flocks <05739>

gathered <0622>: and they rolled <01556> the stone <068> from

the well's <0875> mouth <06310>, and watered <08248> the sheep

<06629>, and put <07725> the stone <068> again <07725> upon the

well's <0875> mouth <06310> in his place <04725>.

4 And Jacob <03290> said <0559> unto them, My brethren <0251>,

whence <0370> [be] ye? And they said <0559>, Of Haran <02771>

[are] we.

5 And he said <0559> unto them, Know <03045> ye Laban <03837>

the son <01121> of Nahor <05152>? And they said <0559>, We know

<03045> [him].

6 And he said <0559> unto them, [Is] he well <07965>? And they

said <0559>, [He is] well <07965>: and, behold <02009>, Rachel

<07354> his daughter <01323> cometh <0935> with the sheep

<06629>.

7 And he said <0559>, Lo <02005>, [it is] yet <05750> high

<01419> day <03117>, neither <03808> [is it] time <06256> that

the cattle <04735> should be gathered <0622> together: water

<04325> ye the sheep <06629>, and go <03212> [and] feed <07462>

[them].

8 And they said <0559>, We cannot, until <05704> all <03605>

the flocks <05739> be gathered <0622> together, and [till] they

roll <01556> the stone <068> from the well's <0875> mouth

<06310>; then we water <04325> the sheep <06629>.

9. And while he yet <05750> spake <01696> with them, Rachel

<07354> came <0935> with her father's <01> sheep <06629>: for

she kept <07462> them.

10 And it came <01961> to pass, when <0834> Jacob <03290> saw

<07200> Rachel <07354> the daughter <01323> of Laban <03837> his

mother's <0517> brother <0251>, and the sheep <06629> of Laban

<03837> his mother's <0517> brother <0251>, that Jacob <03290>

went <05066> near <05066>, and rolled <01556> the stone <068>

from the well's <0875> mouth <06310>, and watered <08248> the

flock <06629> of Laban <03837> his mother's <0517> brother

<0251>.

11 And Jacob <03290> kissed <05401> Rachel <07354>, and lifted

<05375> up his voice <06963>, and wept <01058>.

12 And Jacob <03290> told <05046> Rachel <07354> that he [was]

her father's <01> brother <0251>, and that he [was] Rebekah's

<07259> son <01121>: and she ran <07323> and told <05046> her

father <01>.

13 And it came <01961> to pass, when Laban <03837> heard

<08085> the tidings <08088> of Jacob <03290> his sister's <0269>

son <01121>, that he ran <07323> to meet <07125> him, and

embraced <02263> him, and kissed <05401> him, and brought <0935>

him to his house <01004>. And he told <05608> Laban <03837> all

<03605> these <0428> things <01697>.

14 And Laban <03837> said <0559> to him, Surely <0389> thou

[art] my bone <06106> and my flesh <01320>. And he abode <03427>

with him the space <03117> of a month <02320>.

15. And Laban <03837> said <0559> unto Jacob <03290>, Because

<03588> thou [art] my brother <0251>, shouldest thou therefore

serve <05647> me for nought <02600>? tell <05046> me, what

<04100> [shall] thy wages <04909> [be]?

16 And Laban <03837> had two <08147> daughters <01363>: the

name <08034> of the elder <01419> [was] Leah <03812>, and the

name <08034> of the younger <06996> [was] Rachel <07354>.

17 Leah <03812> [was] tender <07390> eyed <05869>; but Rachel

<07354> was beautiful and well <03303> favoured <04758>.

18 And Jacob <03290> loved <0157> Rachel <07354>; and said

<0559>, I will serve <05647> thee seven <07651> years <08141>

for Rachel <07354> thy younger <06996> daughter <01323>.

19 And Laban <03837> said <0559>, [It is] better <02896> that

I give <05414> her to thee, than that I should give <05414> her

to another <0312> man <0376>: abide <03427> with me.

20 And Jacob <03290> served <05647> seven <07651> years

<08141> for Rachel <07354>; and they seemed unto him [but] a few

<0259> days <03117>, for the love <0160> he had to her.

21 And Jacob <03290> said <0559> unto Laban <03837>, Give

<03051> [me] my wife <0802>, for my days <03117> are fulfilled

<04390>, that I may go <0935> in unto her.

22 And Laban <03837> gathered <0622> together all <03605> the

men <0582> of the place <04725>, and made <06213> a feast

<04960>.

23 And it came <01961> to pass in the evening <06153>, that he

took <03947> Leah <03812> his daughter <01323>, and brought

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

24 And Laban <03837> gave <05414> unto his daughter <01323>

Leah <03812> Zilpah <02153> his maid <08198> [for] an handmaid

<08198>.

25 And it came <01961> to pass, that in the morning <01242>,

behold <02009>, it [was] Leah <03812>: and he said <0559> to

Laban <03837>, What <04100> [is] this <02063> thou hast done

<06213> unto me? did not I serve <05647> with thee for Rachel

<07354>? wherefore then hast thou beguiled <07411> me?

26 And Laban <03837> said <0559>, It must not be so <03651>

done <06213> in our country <04725>, to give <05414> the younger

<06810> before <06440> the firstborn <01067>.

27 Fulfil <04390> her week <07620>, and we will give <05414>

thee this <02063> also <01571> for the service <05656> which

<0834> thou shalt serve <05647> with me yet <05750> seven

<07651> other <0312> years <08141>.

28 And Jacob <03290> did <06213> so <03651>, and fulfilled

<04390> her week <07620>: and he gave <05414> him Rachel <07354>

his daughter <01323> to wife <0802> also.

29 And Laban <03837> gave <05414> to Rachel <07354> his

daughter <01323> Bilhah <01090> his handmaid <08198> to be her

maid <08198>.

30 And he went <0935> in also <01571> unto Rachel <07354>, and

he loved <0157> also <01571> Rachel <07354> more than Leah

<03812>, and served <05647> with him yet <05750> seven <07651>

other <0312> years <08141>.

31. And when the LORD <03068> saw <07200> that Leah <03812>

[was] hated <08130>, he opened <06605> her womb <07358>: but

Rachel <07354> [was] barren <06135>.

32 And Leah <03812> conceived <02030>, and bare <03205> a son

<01121>, and she called <07121> his name <08034> Reuben <07205>:

for she said <0559>, Surely <03588> the LORD <03068> hath looked

<07200> upon my affliction <06040>; now <06258> therefore

<03588> my husband <0376> will love <0157> me.

33 And she conceived <02030> again <05750>, and bare <03205> a

son <01121>; and said <0559>, Because <03588> the LORD <03068>

hath heard <08085> that I [was] hated <08130>, he hath therefore

<01571> given <05414> me this <02088> [son] also <01571>: and

she called <07121> his name <08034> Simeon <08095>.

34 And she conceived <02030> again <05750>, and bare <03205> a

son <01121>; and said <0559>, Now this time <06471> will my

husband <0376> be joined <03867> unto me, because <03588> I have

born <03205> him three <07969> sons <01121>: therefore was his

name <08034> called <07121> Levi <03878>.

35 And she conceived <02030> again <05750>, and bare <03205> a

son <01121>: and she said <0559>, Now will I praise <03034> the

LORD <03068>: therefore she called <07121> his name <08034>

Judah <03063>; and left <05975> bearing <03205>.

Genesis 30

1. And when Rachel <07354> saw <07200> that she bare <03205>

Jacob <03290> no <0369> children, Rachel <07354> envied <07065>

her sister <0269>; and said <0559> unto Jacob <03290>, Give

<03051> me children <01121>, or else <0369> I die <04191>.

2 And Jacob's <03290> anger <0639> was kindled <02734> against

Rachel <07354>: and he said <0559>, [Am] I in God's <0430> stead

<08478>, who <0834> hath withheld <04513> from thee the fruit

<06529> of the womb <0990>?

3 And she said <0559>, Behold <02009> my maid <0519> Bilhah

<01090>, go <0935> in unto her; and she shall bear <03205> upon

my knees <01290>, that I may also <01571> have children <01129>

by her.

4 And she gave <05414> him Bilhah <01090> her handmaid <08198>

to wife <0802>: and Jacob <03290> went <0935> in unto her.

5 And Bilhah <01090> conceived <02030>, and bare <03205> Jacob

<03290> a son <01121>.

6 And Rachel <07354> said <0559>, God <0430> hath judged

<01777> me, and hath also <01571> heard <08085> my voice <06963>,

and hath given <05414> me a son <01121>: therefore called

<07121> she his name <08034> Dan <01835>.

7 And Bilhah <01090> Rachel's <07354> maid <08198> conceived

<02030> again <05750>, and bare <03205> Jacob <03290> a second

<08145> son <01121>.

8 And Rachel <07354> said <0559>, With great <0430> wrestlings

<05319> have I wrestled <06617> with my sister <0269>, and I

have prevailed <03201>: and she called <07121> his name <08034>

Naphtali <05321>.

9 When Leah <03812> saw <07200> that she had left <05975>

bearing <03205>, she took <03947> Zilpah <02153> her maid

<08198>, and gave <05414> her Jacob <03290> to wife <0802>.

10 And Zilpah <02153> Leah's <03812> maid <08198> bare <03205>

Jacob <03290> a son <01121>.

11 And Leah <03812> said <0559>, A troop <01409> cometh <0935>:

and she called <07121> his name <08034> Gad <01410>.

12 And Zilpah <02153> Leah's <03812> maid <08198> bare <03205>

Jacob <03290> a second <08145> son <01121>.

13 And Leah <03812> said <0559>, Happy <0837> am I, for the

daughters <01363> will call <0833> me blessed <0833>: and she

called <07121> his name <08034> Asher <0836>.

14. And Reuben <07205> went <03212> in the days <03117> of

wheat <02406> harvest <07105>, and found <04672> mandrakes

<01736> in the field <07704>, and brought <0935> them unto his

mother <0517> Leah <03812>. Then Rachel <07354> said <0559> to

Leah <03812>, Give <05414> me, I pray <04994> thee, of thy son's

<01121> mandrakes <01736>.

15 And she said <0559> unto her, [Is it] a small <04592>

matter that thou hast taken <03947> my husband <0376>? and

wouldest thou take <03947> away my son's <01121> mandrakes

<01736> also <01571>? And Rachel <07354> said <0559>, Therefore

<03651> he shall lie <07901> with thee to night <03915> for thy

son's <01121> mandrakes <01736>.

16 And Jacob <03290> came <0935> out of the field <07704> in

the evening <06153>, and Leah <03812> went <03318> out to meet

<07125> him, and said <0559>, Thou must come <0935> in unto me;

for surely I have hired <07936> thee with my son's <01121>

mandrakes <01736>. And he lay <07901> with her that night

<03915>.

17 And God <0430> hearkened <08085> unto Leah <03812>, and she

conceived <02030>, and bare <03205> Jacob <03290> the fifth

<02549> son <01121>.

18 And Leah <03812> said <0559>, God <0430> hath given <05414>

me my hire <07937>, because <0834> I have given <05414> my

maiden <08198> to my husband <0376>: and she called <07121> his

name <08034> Issachar <03485>.

19 And Leah <03812> conceived <02030> again <05750>, and bare

<03205> Jacob <03290> the sixth <08345> son <01121>.

20 And Leah <03812> said <0559>, God <0430> hath endued

<02064> me [with] a good <02896> dowry <02065>; now <06471> will

my husband <0376> dwell <02082> with me, because <03588> I have

born <03205> him six <08337> sons <01121>: and she called

<07121> his name <08034> Zebulun <02074>.

21 And afterwards <0310> she bare <03205> a daughter <01323>,

and called <07121> her name <08034> Dinah <01783>.

22 And God <0430> remembered <02142> Rachel <07354>, and God

<0430> hearkened <08085> to her, and opened <06605> her womb

<07358>.

23 And she conceived <02030>, and bare <03205> a son <01121>;

and said <0559>, God <0430> hath taken <0622> away my reproach

<02781>:

24 And she called <07121> his name <08034> Joseph <03130>; and

said <0559>, The LORD <03068> shall add <03254> to me another

<0312> son <01121>.

25. And it came <01961> to pass, when <0834> Rachel <07354> had

born <03205> Joseph <03130>, that Jacob <03290> said <0559> unto

Laban <03837>, Send <07971> me away, that I may go <03212> unto

mine own place <04725>, and to my country <0776>.

26 Give <05414> [me] my wives <0802> and my children <03206>,

for whom <0834> I have served <05647> thee, and let me go

<03212>: for thou knowest <03045> my service <05656> which

<0834> I have done <05647> thee.

27 And Laban <03837> said <0559> unto him, I pray <04994> thee,

if <0518> I have found <04672> favour <02580> in thine eyes

<05869>, [tarry: for] I have learned <05172> by experience

<05172> that the LORD <03068> hath blessed <01288> me for thy

sake <01558>.

28 And he said <0559>, Appoint <05344> me thy wages <07939>,

and I will give <05414> [it].

29 And he said <0559> unto him, Thou knowest <03045> how I

have served <05647> thee, and how thy cattle <04735> was with me.

30 For [it was] little <04592> which <0834> thou hadst before

<06440> I [came], and it is [now] increased <06555> unto a

multitude <07230>; and the LORD <03068> hath blessed <01288>

thee since my coming <07272>: and now <06258> when <04970> shall

I provide <06213> for mine own house <01004> also <01571>?

31 And he said <0559>, What <04100> shall I give <05414> thee?

And Jacob <03290> said <0559>, Thou shalt not give <05414> me

any <03972> thing <01697>: if <0518> thou wilt do <06213> this

<02088> thing <01697> for me, I will again <07725> feed <07462>

[and] keep <08104> thy flock <06629>:

32 I will pass <05674> through all <03605> thy flock <06629>

to day <03117>, removing <05493> from thence <08033> all <03605>

the speckled <05348> and spotted <02921> cattle <07716>, and all

<03605> the brown <02345> cattle <07716> among the sheep <03775>,

and the spotted <02921> and speckled <05348> among the goats

<05795>: and [of such] shall be my hire <07937>.

33 So shall my righteousness <06666> answer <06030> for me in

time <03117> to come <04279>, when <03588> it shall come <0935>

for my hire <07937> before thy face <06440>: every <03605> one

<03605> that [is] not speckled <05348> and spotted <02921> among

the goats <05795>, and brown <02345> among the sheep <03775>,

that shall be counted stolen <01589> with me.

34 And Laban <03837> said <0559>, Behold <02005>, I would

<03863> it might be according to thy word <01697>.

35 And he removed <05493> that day <03117> the he goats

<08495> that were ringstraked <06124> and spotted <02921>, and

all <03605> the she goats <05795> that were speckled <05348> and

spotted <02921>, [and] every <03605> one that had [some] white

<03836> in it, and all <03605> the brown <02345> among the sheep

<03775>, and gave <05414> [them] into the hand <03027> of his

sons <01121>.

36 And he set <07760> three <07969> days <03117>' journey

<01870> betwixt <0996> himself and Jacob <03290>: and Jacob

<03290> fed <07462> the rest <03498> of Laban's <03837> flocks

<06629>.

37. And Jacob <03290> took <03947> him rods <04731> of green

<03892> poplar <03839>, and of the hazel <03869> and chesnut

<06196> tree; and pilled <06478> white <03836> strakes <06479>

in them, and made the white <03836> appear <04286> which <0834>

[was] in the rods <04731>.

38 And he set <03322> the rods <04731> which <0834> he had

pilled <06478> before <05227> the flocks <06629> in the gutters

<07298> in the watering <04325> troughs <08268> when <03588> the

flocks <06629> came <0935> to drink <08354>, that they should

conceive <03179> when they came <0935> to drink <08354>.

39 And the flocks <06629> conceived <03179> before <0413> the

rods <04731>, and brought <03205> forth <03209> cattle <06629>

ringstraked <06124>, speckled <05348>, and spotted <02921>.

40 And Jacob <03290> did separate <06504> the lambs <03775>,

and set <05414> the faces <06440> of the flocks <06629> toward

<0413> the ringstraked <06124>, and all <03605> the brown

<02345> in the flock <06629> of Laban <03837>; and he put

<07896> his own flocks <05739> by themselves <0905>, and put

<07896> them not unto Laban's <03837> cattle <06629>.

41 And it came <01961> to pass, whensoever <03605> the

stronger <07194> cattle <06629> did conceive <03179>, that Jacob

<03290> laid <07760> the rods <04731> before the eyes <05869> of

the cattle <06629> in the gutters <07298>, that they might

conceive <03179> among the rods <04731>.

42 But when the cattle <06629> were feeble <05848>, he put

<07760> [them] not in: so the feebler <05848> were Laban's

<03837>, and the stronger <07194> Jacob's <03290>.

43 And the man <0376> increased <06555> exceedingly <03966>,

and had <01961> much <07227> cattle <06629>, and maidservants

<08198>, and menservants <05650>, and camels <01581>, and asses

<02543>.

Genesis 31

1. And he heard <08085> the words <01697> of Laban's <03837>

sons <01121>, saying <0559>, Jacob <03290> hath taken <03947>

away all <03605> that [was] our father's <01>; and of [that]

which <0834> [was] our father's <01> hath he gotten <04069> all

<03605> this <02088> glory <03519>.

2 And Jacob <03290> beheld <07200> the countenance <06440> of

Laban <03837>, and, behold <02009>, it [was] not toward him as

before.

3 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Jacob <03290>, Return

<07725> unto the land <0776> of thy fathers <01>, and to thy

kindred <04138>; and I will be with thee.

4 And Jacob <03290> sent <07971> and called <07121> Rachel

<07354> and Leah <03812> to the field <07704> unto his flock

<06629>,

5 And said <0559> unto them, I see <07200> your father's <01>

countenance <06440>, that it [is] not toward me as before; but

the God <0430> of my father <01> hath been <01961> with me.

6 And ye know <03045> that with all <03605> my power <03581> I

have served <05647> your father <01>.

7 And your father <01> hath deceived <02048> me, and changed

<02498> my wages <04909> ten <06235> times <04489>; but God

<0430> suffered <05414> him not to hurt <07489> me.

8 If <0518> he said <0559> thus <03541>, The speckled <05348>

shall be thy wages <07939>; then all <03605> the cattle <06629>

bare <03205> speckled <05348>: and if <0518> he said <0559> thus

<03541>, The ringstraked <06124> shall be thy hire <07937>; then

bare <03205> all <03605> the cattle <06629> ringstraked <06124>.

9 Thus God <0430> hath taken <05337> away the cattle <04735>

of your father <01>, and given <05414> [them] to me.

10 And it came <01961> to pass at the time <06256> that the

cattle <06629> conceived <03179>, that I lifted <05375> up mine

eyes <05869>, and saw <07200> in a dream <02472>, and, behold

<02009>, the rams <06260> which leaped <05927> upon the cattle

<06629> [were] ringstraked <06124>, speckled <05348>, and

grisled <01261>.

11 And the angel <04397> of God <0430> spake <0559> unto me in

a dream <02472>, [saying], Jacob <03290>: And I said <0559>,

Here <02009> [am] I.

12 And he said <0559>, Lift <05375> up now <04994> thine eyes

<05869>, and see <07200>, all <03605> the rams <06260> which

leap <05927> upon the cattle <06629> [are] ringstraked <06124>,

speckled <05348>, and grisled <01261>: for I have seen <07200>

all <03605> that Laban <03837> doeth <06213> unto thee.

13 I [am] the God <0410> of Bethel <01008>, where <0834> thou

anointedst <04886> the pillar <04676>, [and] where <0834> thou

vowedst <05087> a vow <05088> unto me: now <06258> arise <06965>,

get <03318> thee out from this <02063> land <0776>, and return

<07725> unto the land <0776> of thy kindred <04138>.

14 And Rachel <07354> and Leah <03812> answered <06030> and

said <0559> unto him, [Is there] yet <05750> any portion <02506>

or inheritance <05159> for us in our father's <01> house <01004>?

15 Are we not counted <02803> of him strangers <05237>? for he

hath sold <04376> us, and hath quite devoured <0398> also

<01571> our money <03701>.

16 For all <03605> the riches <06239> which <0834> God <0430>

hath taken <05337> from our father <01>, that [is] ours, and our

children's <01121>: now <06258> then, whatsoever God <0430> hath

said <0559> unto thee, do <06213>.

17. Then Jacob <03290> rose <06965> up, and set <05375> his

sons <01121> and his wives <0802> upon camels <01581>;

18 And he carried <05090> away all <03605> his cattle <04735>,

and all <03605> his goods <07399> which <0834> he had gotten

<07408>, the cattle <04735> of his getting <07075>, which <0834>

he had gotten <07408> in Padanaram <06307>, for to go <0935> to

Isaac <03327> his father <01> in the land <0776> of Canaan

<03667>.

19 And Laban <03837> went <01980> to shear <01494> his sheep

<06629>: and Rachel <07354> had stolen <01589> the images

<08655> that [were] her father's <01>.

20 And Jacob <03290> stole <01589> away unawares to Laban

<03837> the Syrian <0761>, in that he told <05046> him not that

he fled <01272>.

21 So he fled <01272> with all <03605> that he had; and he

rose <06965> up, and passed <05674> over <05674> the river

<05104>, and set <07760> his face <06440> [toward] the mount

<02022> Gilead <01568>.

22 And it was told <05046> Laban <03837> on the third <07992>

day <03117> that Jacob <03290> was fled <01272>.

23 And he took <03947> his brethren <0251> with him, and

pursued <07291> after <0310> him seven <07651> days <03117>'

journey <01870>; and they overtook <01692> him in the mount

<02022> Gilead <01568>.

24 And God <0430> came <0935> to Laban <03837> the Syrian

<0761> in a dream <02472> by night <03915>, and said <0559> unto

him, Take heed <08104> that thou speak <01696> not to Jacob

<03290> either good <02896> or <05704> bad <07451>.

25. Then Laban <03837> overtook <05381> Jacob <03290>. Now

Jacob <03290> had pitched <08628> his tent <0168> in the mount

<02022>: and Laban <03837> with his brethren <0251> pitched

<08628> in the mount <02022> of Gilead <01568>.

26 And Laban <03837> said <0559> to Jacob <03290>, What

<04100> hast thou done <06213>, that thou hast stolen <01589>

away unawares to me, and carried <05090> away my daughters

<01363>, as captives <07617> [taken] with the sword <02719>?

27 Wherefore <04100> didst thou flee <01272> away secretly

<02244>, and steal <01589> away from me; and didst not tell

<05046> me, that I might have sent <07971> thee away with mirth

<08057>, and with songs <07892>, with tabret <08596>, and with

harp <03658>?

28 And hast not suffered <05203> me to kiss <05401> my sons

<01121> and my daughters <01363>? thou hast now <06258> done

foolishly <05528> in [so] doing <06213>.

29 It is in the power <0410> of my hand <03027> to do <06213>

you hurt <07451>: but the God <0430> of your father <01> spake

<0559> unto me yesternight <0570>, saying <0559>, Take thou heed

<08104> that thou speak <01696> not to Jacob <03290> either good

<02896> or <05704> bad <07451>.

30 And now <06258>, [though] thou wouldest needs be gone

<01980>, because <03588> thou sore longedst <03700> after thy

father's <01> house <01004>, [yet] wherefore <04100> hast thou

stolen <01589> my gods <0430>?

31 And Jacob <03290> answered <06030> and said <0559> to Laban

<03837>, Because <03588> I was afraid <03372>: for I said <0559>,

Peradventure <06435> thou wouldest take <01497> by force

<01497> thy daughters <01363> from me.

32 With whomsoever <0834> thou findest <04672> thy gods <0430>,

let him not live <02421>: before <05048> our brethren <0251>

discern <05234> thou what <04100> [is] thine with me, and take

<03947> [it] to thee. For Jacob <03290> knew <03045> not that

Rachel <07354> had stolen <01589> them.

33 And Laban <03837> went <0935> into Jacob's <03290> tent

<0168>, and into Leah's <03812> tent <0168>, and into the two

<08147> maidservants <0519>' tents <0168>; but he found <04672>

[them] not. Then went <03318> he out of Leah's <03812> tent

<0168>, and entered <0935> into Rachel's <07354> tent <0168>.

34 Now Rachel <07354> had taken <03947> the images <08655>,

and put <07760> them in the camel's <01581> furniture <03733>,

and sat <03427> upon them. And Laban <03837> searched <04959>

all <03605> the tent <0168>, but found <04672> [them] not.

35 And she said <0559> to her father <01>, Let it not

displease <02734> my lord <0113> that I cannot rise <06965> up

before <06440> thee; for the custom <01870> of women <0802> [is]

upon me. And he searched <02664>, but found <04672> not the

images <08655>.

36. And Jacob <03290> was wroth <02734>, and chode <07378> with

Laban <03837>: and Jacob <03290> answered <06030> and said

<0559> to Laban <03837>, What <04100> [is] my trespass <06588>?

what <04100> [is] my sin <02403>, that thou hast so hotly

<01814> pursued <01814> after <0310> me?

37 Whereas <03588> thou hast searched <04959> all <03605> my

stuff <03627>, what <04100> hast thou found <04672> of all

<03605> thy household <01004> stuff <03627>? set <07760> [it]

here <03541> before <05048> my brethren <0251> and thy brethren

<0251>, that they may judge <03198> betwixt <0996> us both

<08147>.

38 This <02088> twenty <06242> years <08141> [have] I [been]

with thee; thy ewes <07353> and thy she goats <05795> have not

cast <07921> their young, and the rams <0352> of thy flock

<06629> have I not eaten <0398>.

39 That which was torn <02966> [of beasts <02966>] I brought

<0935> not unto thee; I bare <02308> the loss <02398> of it; of

my hand <03027> didst thou require <01245> it, [whether] stolen

<01589> by day <03117>, or stolen <01589> by night <03915>.

40 [Thus] I was; in the day <03117> the drought <02721>

consumed <0398> me, and the frost <07140> by night <03915>; and

my sleep <08142> departed <05074> from mine eyes <05869>.

41 Thus <02088> have I been twenty <06242> years <08141> in

thy house <01004>; I served <05647> thee fourteen years <08141>

for thy two <08147> daughters <01363>, and six <08337> years

<08141> for thy cattle <06629>: and thou hast changed <02498> my

wages <04909> ten <06235> times <04489>.

42 Except <03884> the God <0430> of my father <01>, the God

<0430> of Abraham <085>, and the fear <06343> of Isaac <03327>,

had been <01961> with me, surely <03588> thou hadst sent <07971>

me away now <06258> empty <07387>. God <0430> hath seen <07200>

mine affliction <06040> and the labour <03018> of my hands

<03709>, and rebuked <03198> [thee] yesternight <0570>.

43. And Laban <03837> answered <06030> and said <0559> unto

Jacob <03290>, [These] daughters <01363> [are] my daughters

<01363>, and [these] children <01121> [are] my children <01121>,

and [these] cattle <06629> [are] my cattle <06629>, and all

<03605> that thou seest <07200> [is] mine: and what <04100> can

I do <06213> this day <03117> unto these my daughters <01363>,

or <0176> unto their children <01121> which <0834> they have

born <03205>?

44 Now <06258> therefore come <03212> thou, let us make

<03772> a covenant <01285>, I and thou; and let it be for a

witness <05707> between <0996> me and thee.

45 And Jacob <03290> took <03947> a stone <068>, and set

<07311> it up [for] a pillar <04676>.

46 And Jacob <03290> said <0559> unto his brethren <0251>,

Gather <03950> stones <068>; and they took <03947> stones <068>,

and made <06213> an heap <01530>: and they did eat <0398> there

<08033> upon the heap <01530>.

47 And Laban <03837> called <07121> it Jegarsahadutha <03026>:

but Jacob <03290> called <07121> it Galeed <01567>.

48 And Laban <03837> said <0559>, This <02088> heap <01530>

[is] a witness <05707> between <0996> me and thee this day

<03117>. Therefore was the name <08034> of it called <07121>

Galeed <01567>;

49 And Mizpah <04709>; for he said <0559>, The LORD <03068>

watch <06822> between <0996> me and thee, when <03588> we are

absent <05641> one <0376> from another <07453>.

50 If <0518> thou shalt afflict <06031> my daughters <01363>,

or if <0518> thou shalt take <03947> [other] wives <0802> beside

<05921> my daughters <01363>, no <03808> man <0376> [is] with us;

see <07200>, God <0430> [is] witness <05707> betwixt <0996> me

and thee.

51 And Laban <03837> said <0559> to Jacob <03290>, Behold

<02009> this <02088> heap <01530>, and behold <02009> [this]

pillar <04676>, which <0834> I have cast <03384> betwixt <0996>

me and thee;

52 This <02088> heap <01530> [be] witness <05707>, and [this

<02088>] pillar <04676> [be] witness <05711>, that I will not

pass <05674> over <05674> this <02088> heap <01530> to thee, and

that thou shalt not pass <05674> over <05674> this <02088> heap

<01530> and this <02063> pillar <04676> unto me, for harm

<07451>.

53 The God <0430> of Abraham <085>, and the God <0430> of

Nahor <05152>, the God <0430> of their father <01>, judge

<08199> betwixt <0996> us. And Jacob <03290> sware <07650> by

the fear <06343> of his father <01> Isaac <03327>.

54 Then Jacob <03290> offered <02076> sacrifice <02077> upon

the mount <02022>, and called <07121> his brethren <0251> to eat

<0398> bread <03899>: and they did eat <0398> bread <03899>, and

tarried <03885> all <03885> night in the mount <02022>.

55 And early <07925> in the morning <01242> Laban <03837> rose

<07925> up, and kissed <05401> his sons <01121> and his

daughters <01363>, and blessed <01288> them: and Laban <03837>

departed <03212>, and returned <07725> unto his place <04725>.

Genesis 32

1. And Jacob <03290> went <01980> on his way <01870>, and the

angels <04397> of God <0430> met <06293> him.

2 And when <0834> Jacob <03290> saw <07200> them, he said

<0559>, This <02088> [is] God's <0430> host <04264>: and he

called <07121> the name <08034> of that place <04725> Mahanaim

<04266>.

3. And Jacob <03290> sent <07971> messengers <04397> before

<06440> him to Esau <06215> his brother <0251> unto the land

<0776> of Seir <08165>, the country <07704> of Edom <0123>.

4 And he commanded <06680> them, saying <0559>, Thus <03541>

shall ye speak <0559> unto my lord <0113> Esau <06215>; Thy

servant <05650> Jacob <03290> saith <0559> thus <03541>, I have

sojourned <01481> with Laban <03837>, and stayed <0309> there

until <05704> now <06258>:

5 And I have <01961> oxen <07794>, and asses <02543>, flocks

<06629>, and menservants <05650>, and womenservants <08198>: and

I have <01961> sent <07971> to tell <05046> my lord <0113>, that

I may find <04672> grace <02580> in thy sight <05869>.

6 And the messengers <04397> returned <07725> to Jacob <03290>,

saying <0559>, We came <0935> to thy brother <0251> Esau

<06215>, and also <01571> he cometh <01980> to meet <07125> thee,

and four <0702> hundred <03967> men <0376> with him.

7 Then Jacob <03290> was greatly <03966> afraid <03372> and

distressed <03334>: and he divided <02673> the people <05971>

that [was] with him, and the flocks <06629>, and herds <01241>,

and the camels <01581>, into two <08147> bands <04264>;

8 And said <0559>, If <0518> Esau <06215> come <0935> to the

one <0259> company <04264>, and smite <05221> it, then the other

company <04264> which is left <07604> shall escape <06413>.

9. And Jacob <03290> said <0559>, O God <0430> of my father

<01> Abraham <085>, and God <0430> of my father <01> Isaac

<03327>, the LORD <03068> which saidst <0559> unto me, Return

<07725> unto thy country <0776>, and to thy kindred <04138>, and

I will deal well <03190> with thee:

10 I am not worthy <06994> of the least <06994> of all <03605>

the mercies <02617>, and of all <03605> the truth <0571>, which

<0834> thou hast shewed <06213> unto thy servant <05650>; for

with my staff <04731> I passed <05674> over <05674> this <02088>

Jordan <03383>; and now <06258> I am become <01961> two <08147>

bands <04264>.

11 Deliver <05337> me, I pray <04994> thee, from the hand

<03027> of my brother <0251>, from the hand <03027> of Esau

<06215>: for I fear <03373> him, lest <06435> he will come

<0935> and smite <05221> me, [and] the mother <0517> with the

children <01121>.

12 And thou saidst <0559>, I will surely do thee good <03190>,

and make <07760> thy seed <02233> as the sand <02344> of the sea

<03220>, which <0834> cannot <03808> be numbered <05608> for

multitude <07230>.

13. And he lodged <03885> there <08033> that same <01931> night

<03915>; and took <03947> of that which came <0935> to his hand

<03027> a present <04503> for Esau <06215> his brother <0251>;

14 Two hundred <03967> she goats <05795>, and twenty <06242>

he goats <08495>, two hundred <03967> ewes <07353>, and twenty

<06242> rams <0352>,

15 Thirty <07970> milch <03243> camels <01581> with their

colts <01121>, forty <0705> kine <06510>, and ten <06235> bulls

<06499>, twenty <06242> she asses <0860>, and ten <06235> foals

<05895>.

16 And he delivered <05414> [them] into the hand <03027> of

his servants <05650>, every drove <05739> by themselves <0905>;

and said <0559> unto his servants <05650>, Pass <05674> over

<05674> before <06440> me, and put <07760> a space <07305>

betwixt <0996> drove <05739> and drove <05739>.

17 And he commanded <06680> the foremost <07223>, saying

<0559>, When <03588> Esau <06215> my brother <0251> meeteth

<06298> thee, and asketh <07592> thee, saying <0559>, Whose

<04310> [art] thou? and whither <0575> goest <03212> thou? and

whose <04310> [are] these <0428> before <06440> thee?

18 Then thou shalt say <0559>, [They be] thy servant <05650>

Jacob's <03290>; it [is] a present <04503> sent <07971> unto my

lord <0113> Esau <06215>: and, behold <02009>, also <01571> he

[is] behind <0310> us.

19 And so <01571> commanded <06680> he the second <08145>, and

the third <07992>, and all <03605> that followed the droves

<05739>, saying <0559>, On this <02088> manner <01697> shall ye

speak <01696> unto Esau <06215>, when ye find <04672> him.

20 And say <0559> ye moreover <01571>, Behold <02009>, thy

servant <05650> Jacob <03290> [is] behind <0310> us. For he said

<0559>, I will appease <06440> him with the present <04503> that

goeth <01980> before <06440> me, and afterward I will see

<07200> his face <06440>; peradventure <0194> he will accept

<05375> of me.

21 So went <05674> the present <04503> over <05674> before him:

and himself <01931> lodged <03885> that night <03915> in the

company <04264>.

22 And he rose <06965> up that night <03915>, and took <03947>

his two <08147> wives <0802>, and his two <08147> womenservants

<08198>, and his eleven sons <03206>, and passed <05674> over

<05674> the ford <04569> Jabbok <02999>.

23 And he took <03947> them, and sent <05674> them over

<05674> the brook <05158>, and sent <05674> over <05674> that he

had.

24. And Jacob <03290> was left <03498> alone <0905>; and there

wrestled <079> a man <0376> with him until <05704> the breaking

<05927> of the day <07837>.

25 And when he saw <07200> that he prevailed <03201> not

against him, he touched <05060> the hollow <03709> of his thigh

<03409>; and the hollow <03709> of Jacob's <03290> thigh <03409>

was out of joint <03363>, as he wrestled <079> with him.

26 And he said <0559>, Let me go <07971>, for the day <07837>

breaketh <05927>. And he said <0559>, I will not let thee go

<07971>, except thou bless <01288> me.

27 And he said <0559> unto him, What <04100> [is] thy name

<08034>? And he said <0559>, Jacob <03290>.

28 And he said <0559>, Thy name <08034> shall be called <0559>

no <03808> more <05750> Jacob <03290>, but Israel <03478>: for

as a prince hast thou power <08280> with God <0430> and with men

<0582>, and hast prevailed <03201>.

29 And Jacob <03290> asked <07592> [him], and said <0559>,

Tell <05046> [me], I pray <04994> thee, thy name <08034>. And he

said <0559>, Wherefore <04100> [is] it [that] thou dost ask

<07592> after my name <08034>? And he blessed <01288> him there

<08033>.

30 And Jacob <03290> called <07121> the name <08034> of the

place <04725> Peniel <06439>: for I have seen <07200> God <0430>

face <06440> to face <06440>, and my life <05315> is preserved

<05337>.

31 And as he passed <05674> over <05674> Penuel <06439> the

sun <08121> rose <02224> upon him, and he halted <06761> upon

his thigh <03409>.

32 Therefore the children <01121> of Israel <03478> eat <0398>

not [of] the sinew <01517> which shrank <05384>, which <0834>

[is] upon the hollow <03709> of the thigh <03409>, unto this

<02088> day <03117>: because <03588> he touched <05060> the

hollow <03709> of Jacob's <03290> thigh <03409> in the sinew

<01517> that shrank <05384>.

Genesis 33

1. And Jacob <03290> lifted <05375> up his eyes <05869>, and

looked <07200>, and, behold <02009>, Esau <06215> came <0935>,

and with him four <0702> hundred <03967> men <0376>. And he

divided <02673> the children <03206> unto Leah <03812>, and unto

Rachel <07354>, and unto the two <08147> handmaids <08198>.

2 And he put <07760> the handmaids <08198> and their children

<03206> foremost <07223>, and Leah <03812> and her children

<03206> after <0314>, and Rachel <07354> and Joseph <03130>

hindermost <0314>.

3 And he passed <05674> over <05674> before <06440> them, and

bowed <07812> himself to the ground <0776> seven <07651> times

<06471>, until <05704> he came <05066> near <05066> to his

brother <0251>.

4 And Esau <06215> ran <07323> to meet <07125> him, and

embraced <02263> him, and fell <05307> on <05921> his neck

<06677>, and kissed <05401> him: and they wept <01058>.

5. And he lifted <05375> up his eyes <05869>, and saw <07200>

the women <0802> and the children <03206>; and said <0559>, Who

<04310> [are] those <0428> with thee? And he said <0559>, The

children <03206> which <0834> God <0430> hath graciously <02603>

given <02603> thy servant <05650>.

6 Then the handmaidens <08198> came <05066> near <05066>, they

and their children <03206>, and they bowed <07812> themselves.

7 And Leah <03812> also <01571> with her children <03206> came

<05066> near <05066>, and bowed <07812> themselves: and after

<0310> came <05066> Joseph <03130> near <05066> and Rachel

<07354>, and they bowed <07812> themselves.

8 And he said <0559>, What <04310> [meanest] thou by all

<03605> this <02088> drove <04264> which <0834> I met <06298>?

And he said <0559>, [These are] to find <04672> grace <02580> in

the sight <05869> of my lord <0113>.

9 And Esau <06215> said <0559>, I have <03426> enough <07227>,

my brother <0251>; keep <01961> that thou hast unto thyself.

10 And Jacob <03290> said <0559>, Nay <0408>, I pray <04994>

thee, if <0518> now <04994> I have found <04672> grace <02580>

in thy sight <05869>, then receive <03947> my present <04503> at

my hand <03027>: for therefore I have seen <07200> thy face

<06440>, as though I had seen <07200> the face <06440> of God

<0430>, and thou wast pleased <07521> with me.

11 Take <03947>, I pray <04994> thee, my blessing <01293> that

is brought <0935> to thee; because <03588> God <0430> hath dealt

graciously <02603> with me, and because <03588> I have <03426>

enough <03605>. And he urged <06484> him, and he took <03947>

[it].

12 And he said <0559>, Let us take our journey <05265>, and

let us go <03212>, and I will go <03212> before <05048> thee.

13 And he said <0559> unto him, My lord <0113> knoweth <03045>

that the children <03206> [are] tender <07390>, and the flocks

<06629> and herds <01241> with young <05763> [are] with me: and

if <0518> men should overdrive <01849> them one <0259> day

<03117>, all <03605> the flock <06629> will die <04191>.

14 Let my lord <0113>, I pray <04994> thee, pass <05674> over

<05674> before <06440> his servant <05650>: and I will lead

<05095> on softly <0328>, according <07272> as the cattle

<04399> that goeth before <06440> me and the children <03206> be

able <07272> to endure <07272>, until <05704> I come <0935> unto

my lord <0113> unto Seir <08165>.

15 And Esau <06215> said <0559>, Let me now <04994> leave

<03322> with thee [some] of the folk <05971> that [are] with me.

And he said <0559>, What <04100> needeth it? let me find <04672>

grace <02580> in the sight <05869> of my lord <0113>.

16. So Esau <06215> returned <07725> that day <03117> on his

way <01870> unto Seir <08165>.

17 And Jacob <03290> journeyed <05265> to Succoth <05523>, and

built <01129> him an house <01004>, and made <06213> booths

<05521> for his cattle <04735>: therefore the name <08034> of

the place <04725> is called <07121> Succoth <05523>.

18 And Jacob <03290> came <0935> to Shalem <08003>, a city

<05892> of Shechem <07927>, which <0834> [is] in the land <0776>

of Canaan <03667>, when he came <0935> from Padanaram <06307>;

and pitched <02583> his tent before the city <05892>.

19 And he bought <07069> a parcel <02513> of a field <07704>,

where <0834> he had spread <05186> his tent <0168>, at the hand

<03027> of the children <01121> of Hamor <02544>, Shechem's

<07927> father <01>, for an hundred <03967> pieces of money

<07192>.

20 And he erected <05324> there <08033> an altar <04196>, and

called <07121> it Eleloheisrael <0415>.

Genesis 34

1. And Dinah <01783> the daughter <01323> of Leah <03812>,

which <0834> she bare <03205> unto Jacob <03290>, went <03318>

out to see <07200> the daughters <01363> of the land <0776>.

2 And when Shechem <07927> the son <01121> of Hamor <02544>

the Hivite <02340>, prince <05387> of the country <0776>, saw

<07200> her, he took <03947> her, and lay <07901> with her, and

defiled <06031> her.

3 And his soul <05315> clave <01692> unto Dinah <01783> the

daughter <01323> of Jacob <03290>, and he loved <0157> the

damsel <05291>, and spake <01696> kindly unto the damsel <05291>.

4 And Shechem <07927> spake <0559> unto his father <01> Hamor

<02544>, saying <0559>, Get <03947> me this <02063> damsel

<03207> to wife <0802>.

5 And Jacob <03290> heard <08085> that he had defiled <02930>

Dinah <01783> his daughter <01323>: now his sons <01121> were

with his cattle <04735> in the field <07704>: and Jacob <03290>

held <02790> his peace <02790> until <05704> they were come

<0935>.

6. And Hamor <02544> the father <01> of Shechem <07927> went

<03318> out unto Jacob <03290> to commune <01696> with him.

7 And the sons <01121> of Jacob <03290> came <0935> out of the

field <07704> when they heard <08085> [it]: and the men <0582>

were grieved <06087>, and they were very <03966> wroth <02734>,

because <03588> he had wrought <06213> folly <05039> in Israel

<03478> in lying <07901> with Jacob's <03290> daughter <01323>;

which <03651> thing <03651> ought not to be done <06213>.

8 And Hamor <02544> communed <01696> with them, saying <0559>,

The soul <05315> of my son <01121> Shechem <07927> longeth

<02836> for your daughter <01323>: I pray <04994> you give

<05414> her him to wife <0802>.

9 And make ye marriages <02859> with us, [and] give <05414>

your daughters <01363> unto us, and take <03947> our daughters

<01363> unto you.

10 And ye shall dwell <03427> with us: and the land <0776>

shall be before <06440> you; dwell <03427> and trade <05503> ye

therein, and get you possessions <0270> therein.

11 And Shechem <07927> said <0559> unto her father <01> and

unto her brethren <0251>, Let me find <04672> grace <02580> in

your eyes <05869>, and what <0834> ye shall say <0559> unto me I

will give <05414>.

12 Ask me never so much dowry <04119> and gift <04976>, and I

will give <05414> according as ye shall say <0559> unto me: but

give <05414> me the damsel <05291> to wife <0802>.

13 And the sons <01121> of Jacob <03290> answered <06030>

Shechem <07927> and Hamor <02544> his father <01> deceitfully

<04820>, and said <01696>, because <0834> he had defiled <02930>

Dinah <01783> their sister <0269>:

14 And they said <0559> unto them, We cannot do <06213> this

<02088> thing <01697>, to give <05414> our sister <0269> to one

<0376> that is uncircumcised <06190>; for that [were] a reproach

<02781> unto us:

15 But in this <02063> will we consent <0225> unto you: If

<0518> ye will be as we [be], that every <03605> male <02145> of

you be circumcised <04135>;

16 Then will we give <05414> our daughters <01363> unto you,

and we will take <03947> your daughters <01363> to us, and we

will dwell <03427> with you, and we will become <01961> one

<0259> people <05971>.

17 But if <0518> ye will not hearken <08085> unto us, to be

circumcised <04135>; then will we take <03947> our daughter

<01323>, and we will be gone <01980>.

18. And their words <01697> pleased Hamor <02544>, and Shechem

<07927> Hamor's <02544> son <01121>.

19 And the young <05288> man deferred <0309> not to do <06213>

the thing <01697>, because <03588> he had delight <02654> in

Jacob's <03290> daughter <01323>: and he [was] more <03513>

honourable <03513> than all <03605> the house <01004> of his

father <01>.

20 And Hamor <02544> and Shechem <07927> his son <01121> came

<0935> unto the gate <08179> of their city <05892>, and communed

<01696> with the men <0582> of their city <05892>, saying <0559>,

21 These <0428> men <0582> [are] peaceable <08003> with us;

therefore let them dwell <03427> in the land <0776>, and trade

<05503> therein; for the land <0776>, behold <02009>, [it is]

large <07342> enough <03027> for them; let us take <03947> their

daughters <01363> to us for wives <0802>, and let us give

<05414> them our daughters <01363>.

22 Only <0389> herein <02063> will the men <0582> consent

<0225> unto us for to dwell <03427> with us, to be one <0259>

people <05971>, if <0518> every <03605> male <02145> among us be

circumcised <04135>, as they [are] circumcised <04135>.

23 [Shall] not their cattle <04735> and their substance

<07075> and every <03605> beast <0929> of theirs [be] ours? only

<0389> let us consent <0225> unto them, and they will dwell

<03427> with us.

24 And unto Hamor <02544> and unto Shechem <07927> his son

<01121> hearkened <08085> all <03605> that went <03318> out of

the gate <08179> of his city <05892>; and every <03605> male

<02145> was circumcised <04135>, all <03605> that went <03318>

out of the gate <08179> of his city <05892>.

25. And it came <01961> to pass on the third <07992> day

<03117>, when they were sore <03510>, that two <08147> of the

sons <01121> of Jacob <03290>, Simeon <08095> and Levi <03878>,

Dinah's <01783> brethren <0251>, took <03947> each man <0376>

his sword <02719>, and came <0935> upon the city <05892> boldly

<0983>, and slew <02026> all <03605> the males <02145>.

26 And they slew <02026> Hamor <02544> and Shechem <07927> his

son <01121> with the edge <06310> of the sword <02719>, and took

<03947> Dinah <01783> out of Shechem's <07927> house <01004>,

and went <03318> out.

27 The sons <01121> of Jacob <03290> came <0935> upon the

slain <02491>, and spoiled <0962> the city <05892>, because

<0834> they had defiled <02930> their sister <0269>.

28 They took <03947> their sheep <06629>, and their oxen

<01241>, and their asses <02543>, and that which <0834> [was] in

the city <05892>, and that which <0834> [was] in the field

<07704>,

29 And all <03605> their wealth <02428>, and all <03605> their

little <02945> ones, and their wives <0802> took they captive

<07617>, and spoiled <0962> even all <03605> that [was] in the

house <01004>.

30 And Jacob <03290> said <0559> to Simeon <08095> and Levi

<03878>, Ye have troubled <05916> me to make me to stink <0887>

among the inhabitants <03427> of the land <0776>, among the

Canaanites <03669> and the Perizzites <06522>: and I [being] few

<04962> in number <04557>, they shall gather <0622> themselves

together against <05921> me, and slay <05221> me; and I shall be

destroyed <08045>, I and my house <01004>.

31 And they said <0559>, Should he deal <06213> with our

sister <0269> as with an harlot <02181>?

Genesis 35

1. And God <0430> said <0559> unto Jacob <03290>, Arise <06965>,

go <05927> up to Bethel <01008>, and dwell <03427> there

<08033>: and make <06213> there <08033> an altar <04196> unto

God <0410>, that appeared <07200> unto thee when thou fleddest

<01272> from the face <06440> of Esau <06215> thy brother <0251>.

2 Then Jacob <03290> said <0559> unto his household <01004>,

and to all <03605> that [were] with him, Put <05493> away the

strange <05236> gods <0430> that [are] among <08432> you, and be

clean <02891>, and change <02498> your garments <08071>:

3 And let us arise <06965>, and go <05927> up to Bethel

<01008>; and I will make <06213> there <08033> an altar <04196>

unto God <0410>, who answered <06030> me in the day <03117> of

my distress <06869>, and was with me in the way <01870> which

<0834> I went <01980>.

4 And they gave <05414> unto Jacob <03290> all <03605> the

strange <05236> gods <0430> which <0834> [were] in their hand

<03027>, and [all their] earrings <05141> which <0834> [were] in

their ears <0241>; and Jacob <03290> hid <02934> them under

<08478> the oak <0424> which <0834> [was] by Shechem <07927>.

5 And they journeyed <05265>: and the terror <02847> of God

<0430> was upon the cities <05892> that [were] round <05439>

about them, and they did not pursue <07291> after <0310> the

sons <01121> of Jacob <03290>.

6. So Jacob <03290> came <0935> to Luz <03870>, which <0834>

[is] in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, that [is], Bethel

<01008>, he and all <03605> the people <05971> that [were] with

him.

7 And he built <01129> there <08033> an altar <04196>, and

called <07121> the place <04725> Elbethel <0416>: because

<03588> there <08033> God <0430> appeared <01540> unto him, when

he fled <01272> from the face <06440> of his brother <0251>.

8 But Deborah <01683> Rebekah's <07259> nurse <03243> died

<04191>, and she was buried <06912> beneath <08478> Bethel

<01008> under <08478> an oak <0437>: and the name <08034> of it

was called <07121> Allonbachuth <0439>.

9 And God <0430> appeared <07200> unto Jacob <03290> again

<05750>, when he came <0935> out of Padanaram <06307>, and

blessed <01288> him.

10 And God <0430> said <0559> unto him, Thy name <08034> [is]

Jacob <03290>: thy name <08034> shall not be called <07121> any

<05750> more <05750> Jacob <03290>, but Israel <03478> shall be

thy name <08034>: and he called <07121> his name <08034> Israel

<03478>.

11 And God <0430> said <0559> unto him, I [am] God <0410>

Almighty <07706>: be fruitful <06509> and multiply <07235>; a

nation <01471> and a company <06951> of nations <01471> shall be

of thee, and kings <04428> shall come <03318> out of thy loins

<02504>;

12 And the land <0776> which <0834> I gave <05414> Abraham

<085> and Isaac <03327>, to thee I will give <05414> it, and to

thy seed <02233> after <0310> thee will I give <05414> the land

<0776>.

13 And God <0430> went <05927> up from him in the place

<04725> where <0834> he talked <01696> with him.

14 And Jacob <03290> set <05324> up a pillar <04676> in the

place <04725> where <0834> he talked <01696> with him, [even] a

pillar <04678> of stone <068>: and he poured <05258> a drink

<05262> offering thereon <05921>, and he poured <03332> oil

<08081> thereon <05921>.

15 And Jacob <03290> called <07121> the name <08034> of the

place <04725> where <0834> God <0430> spake <01696> with him,

Bethel <01008>.

16. And they journeyed <05265> from Bethel <01008>; and there

was but a little <03530> way <0776> to come <0935> to Ephrath

<0672>: and Rachel <07354> travailed <03205>, and she had hard

<07185> labour <03205>.

17 And it came <0935> to pass, when she was in hard <07185>

labour <03205>, that the midwife <03205> said <0559> unto her,

Fear <03372> not; thou shalt have this <02088> son <01121> also

<01571>.

18 And it came <0935> to pass, as her soul <05315> was in

departing <03318>, (for she died <04191>) that she called

<07121> his name <08034> Benoni <01126>: but his father <01>

called <07121> him Benjamin <01144>.

19 And Rachel <07354> died <04191>, and was buried <06912> in

the way <01870> to Ephrath <0672>, which <01958> [is] Bethlehem

<01035>.

20 And Jacob <03290> set <05324> a pillar <04676> upon her

grave <06900>: that [is] the pillar <04678> of Rachel's <07354>

grave <06900> unto this day <03117>.

21. And Israel <03478> journeyed <05265>, and spread <05186>

his tent <0168> beyond <01973> the tower <04026> of Edar <05740>.

22 And it came <01961> to pass, when Israel <03478> dwelt

<07931> in that land <0776>, that Reuben <07205> went <03212>

and lay <07901> with Bilhah <01090> his father's <01> concubine

<06370>: and Israel <03478> heard <08085> [it]. Now the sons

<01121> of Jacob <03290> were twelve:

23 The sons <01121> of Leah <03812>; Reuben <07205>, Jacob's

<03290> firstborn <01060>, and Simeon <08095>, and Levi <03878>,

and Judah <03063>, and Issachar <03485>, and Zebulun <02074>:

24 The sons <01121> of Rachel <07354>; Joseph <03130>, and

Benjamin <01144>:

25 And the sons <01121> of Bilhah <01090>, Rachel's <07354>

handmaid <08198>; Dan <01835>, and Naphtali <05321>:

26 And the sons <01121> of Zilpah <02153>, Leah's <03812>

handmaid <08198>; Gad <01410>, and Asher <0836>: these <0428>

[are] the sons <01121> of Jacob <03290>, which <0834> were born

<03205> to him in Padanaram <06307>.

27 And Jacob <03290> came <0935> unto Isaac <03327> his father

<01> unto Mamre <04471>, unto the city <07151> of Arbah <0704>,

which <0834> [is] Hebron <02275>, where <0834> Abraham <085> and

Isaac <03327> sojourned <01481>.

28 And the days <03117> of Isaac <03327> were an hundred

<03967> and fourscore <08084> years <08141>.

29 And Isaac <03327> gave up the ghost <01478>, and died

<04191>, and was gathered <0622> unto his people <05971>,

[being] old <02205> and full <07649> of days <03117>: and his

sons <01121> Esau <06215> and Jacob <03290> buried <06912> him.

Genesis 36

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

<06215>, who <01931> [is] Edom <0123>.

2 Esau <06215> took <03947> his wives <0802> of the daughters

<01363> of Canaan <03667>; Adah <05711> the daughter <01323> of

Elon <0356> the Hittite <02850>, and Aholibamah <0173> the

daughter <01323> of Anah <06034> the daughter <01323> of Zibeon

<06649> the Hivite <02340>;

3 And Bashemath <01315> Ishmael's <03458> daughter <01323>,

sister <0269> of Nebajoth <05032>.

4 And Adah <05711> bare <03205> to Esau <06215> Eliphaz <0464>;

and Bashemath <01315> bare <03205> Reuel <07467>;

5 And Aholibamah <0173> bare <03205> Jeush <03266>, and Jaalam

<03281>, and Korah <07141>: these <0428> [are] the sons <01121>

of Esau <06215>, which <0834> were born <03205> unto him in the

land <0776> of Canaan <03667>.

6 And Esau <06215> took <03947> his wives <0802>, and his sons

<01121>, and his daughters <01363>, and all <03605> the persons

<05315> of his house <01004>, and his cattle <04735>, and all

<03605> his beasts <0929>, and all <03605> his substance <07075>,

which <0834> he had got <07408> in the land <0776> of Canaan

<03667>; and went <03212> into <0413> the country <0776> from

the face <06440> of his brother <0251> Jacob <03290>.

7 For their riches <07399> were more <07227> than that they

might dwell <03427> together <03162>; and the land <0776>

wherein they were strangers <04033> could <03201> not bear

<05375> them because <06440> of their cattle <04735>.

8 Thus dwelt <03427> Esau <06215> in mount <02022> Seir

<08165>: Esau <06215> [is] Edom <0123>.

9. And these <0428> [are] the generations <08435> of Esau

Genesis 37

1. And Jacob <03290> dwelt <03427> in the land <0776> wherein

his father <01> was a stranger <04033>, in the land <0776> of

Canaan <03667>.

2 These <0428> [are] the generations <08435> of Jacob <03290>.

Joseph <03130>, [being] seventeen <07651> years <08141> old

<01121>, was feeding <07462> the flock <06629> with his brethren

<0251>; and the lad <05288> [was] with the sons <01121> of

Bilhah <01090>, and with the sons <01121> of Zilpah <02153>, his

father's <01> wives <0802>: and Joseph <03130> brought <0935>

unto his father <01> their evil <07451> report <01681>.

3 Now Israel <03478> loved <0157> Joseph <03130> more than all

<03605> his children <01121>, because <03588> he [was] the son

<01121> of his old <02208> age: and he made <06213> him a coat

<03801> of [many] colours <06446>.

4 And when his brethren <0251> saw <07200> that their father

<01> loved <0157> him more than all <03605> his brethren <0251>,

they hated <08130> him, and could <03201> not speak <01696>

peaceably <07965> unto him.

5. And Joseph <03130> dreamed <02492> a dream <02472>, and he

told <05046> [it] his brethren <0251>: and they hated <08130>

him yet <05750> the more <03254>.

6 And he said <0559> unto them, Hear <08085>, I pray <04994>

you, this <02088> dream <02472> which <0834> I have dreamed

<02492>:

7 For, behold <02009>, we [were] binding <0481> sheaves <0485>

in the field <07704>, and, lo <02009>, my sheaf <0485> arose

<06965>, and also <01571> stood <05324> upright; and, behold

<02009>, your sheaves <0485> stood round <05437> about, and made

obeisance <07812> to my sheaf <0485>.

8 And his brethren <0251> said <0559> to him, Shalt thou

indeed reign <04427> over <05921> us? or shalt thou indeed have

dominion <04910> over us? And they hated <08130> him yet <05750>

the more <03254> for his dreams <02472>, and for his words

<01697>.

9 And he dreamed <02492> yet <05750> another <0312> dream

<02472>, and told <05608> it his brethren <0251>, and said

<0559>, Behold <02009>, I have dreamed <02492> a dream <02472>

more <05750>; and, behold <02009>, the sun <08121> and the moon

<03394> and the eleven stars <03556> made obeisance <07812> to

me.

10 And he told <05608> [it] to his father <01>, and to his

brethren <0251>: and his father <01> rebuked <01605> him, and

said <0559> unto him, What <04100> [is] this <02088> dream

<02472> that thou hast dreamed <02492>? Shall I and thy mother

<0517> and thy brethren <0251> indeed come <0935> to bow <07812>

down <07812> ourselves to thee to the earth <0776>?

11 And his brethren <0251> envied <07065> him; but his father

<01> observed <08104> the saying <01697>.

12. And his brethren <0251> went <03212> to feed <07462> their

father's <01> flock <06629> in Shechem <07927>.

13 And Israel <03478> said <0559> unto Joseph <03130>, Do not

thy brethren <0251> feed <07462> [the flock] in Shechem <07927>?

come <03212>, and I will send <07971> thee unto them. And he

said <0559> to him, Here <02009> [am I].

14 And he said <0559> to him, Go <03212>, I pray <04994> thee,

see <07200> whether it be well <07965> with thy brethren <0251>,

and well <07965> with the flocks <06629>; and bring <07725> me

word <01697> again <07725>. So he sent <07971> him out of the

vale <06010> of Hebron <02275>, and he came <0935> to Shechem

<07927>.

15 And a certain man <0376> found <04672> him, and, behold

<02009>, [he was] wandering <08582> in the field <07704>: and

the man <0376> asked <07592> him, saying <0559>, What <04100>

seekest <01245> thou?

16 And he said <0559>, I seek <01245> my brethren <0251>: tell

<05046> me, I pray <04994> thee, where <0375> they feed <07462>

[their flocks].

17 And the man <0376> said <0559>, They are departed <05265>

hence <02088>; for I heard <08085> them say <0559>, Let us go

<03212> to Dothan <01886>. And Joseph <03130> went <03212> after

<0310> his brethren <0251>, and found <04672> them in Dothan

<01886>.

18 And when they saw <07200> him afar <07350> off, even before

<02962> he came <07126> near <07126> unto them, they conspired

<05320> against <0834> him to slay <04191> him.

19 And they said <0559> one <0376> to another <0250>, Behold

<02009>, this <01976> dreamer cometh <0935>.

20 Come <03212> now <06258> therefore, and let us slay <02026>

him, and cast <07993> him into some <0259> pit <0953>, and we

will say <0559>, Some evil <07451> beast <02416> hath devoured

<0398> him: and we shall see <07200> what <04100> will become

<01961> of his dreams <02472>.

21 And Reuben <07205> heard <08085> [it], and he delivered

<05337> him out of their hands <03027>; and said <0559>, Let us

not kill <05221> him.

22 And Reuben <07205> said <0559> unto them, Shed <08210> no

<03808> blood <01818>, [but] cast <07993> him into <0413> this

<02088> pit <0953> that [is] in the wilderness <04057>, and lay

<07971> no <03808> hand <03027> upon him; that he might rid

<05337> him out of their hands <03027>, to deliver <07725> him

to his father <01> again <07725>.

23. And it came <01961> to pass, when <0834> Joseph <03130> was

come <0935> unto his brethren <0251>, that they stript <06584>

Joseph <03130> out of his coat <03801>, [his] coat <03801> of

[many] colours <06446> that [was] on <05921> him;

24 And they took <03947> him, and cast <07993> him into a pit

<0953>: and the pit <0953> [was] empty <07386>, [there was] no

<03808> water <04325> in it.

25 And they sat <03427> down to eat <0398> bread <03899>: and

they lifted <05375> up their eyes <05869> and looked <07200>,

and, behold <02009>, a company <0736> of Ishmeelites <03459>

came <0935> from Gilead <01568> with their camels <01581>

bearing <05375> spicery <05219> and balm <06875> and myrrh

<03910>, going <01980> to carry <03381> [it] down <03381> to

Egypt <04714>.

26 And Judah <03063> said <0559> unto his brethren <0251>,

What <04100> profit <01215> [is it] if <03588> we slay <02026>

our brother <0251>, and conceal <03680> his blood <01818>?

27 Come <03212>, and let us sell <04376> him to the

Ishmeelites <03459>, and let not our hand <03027> be upon him;

for he [is] our brother <0251> [and] our flesh <01320>. And his

brethren <0251> were content <08085>.

28 Then there passed <05674> by Midianites <04084> merchantmen

<05503>; and they drew <04900> and lifted <05927> up Joseph

<03130> out of the pit <0953>, and sold <04376> Joseph <03130>

to the Ishmeelites <03459> for twenty <06242> [pieces] of silver

<03701>: and they brought <0935> Joseph <03130> into Egypt

<04714>.

29 And Reuben <07205> returned <07725> unto the pit <0953>;

and, behold <02009>, Joseph <03130> [was] not in the pit <0953>;

and he rent <07167> his clothes <0899>.

30 And he returned <07725> unto his brethren <0251>, and said

<0559>, The child <03206> [is] not; and I, whither <0575> shall

I go <0935>?

31. And they took <03947> Joseph's <03130> coat <03801>, and

killed <07819> a kid <08163> of the goats <05795>, and dipped

<02881> the coat <03801> in the blood <01818>;

32 And they sent <07971> the coat <03801> of [many] colours

<06446>, and they brought <0935> [it] to their father <01>; and

said <0559>, This <02063> have we found <04672>: know <05234>

now <04994> whether it [be] thy son's <01121> coat <03801> or no

<03808>.

33 And he knew <05234> it, and said <0559>, [It is] my son's

<01121> coat <03801>; an evil <07451> beast <02416> hath

devoured <0398> him; Joseph <03130> is without <02963> doubt

rent <02963> in pieces.

34 And Jacob <03290> rent <07167> his clothes <08071>, and put

<07760> sackcloth <08242> upon his loins <04975>, and mourned

<056> for his son <01121> many <07227> days <03117>.

35 And all <03605> his sons <01121> and all <03605> his

daughters <01363> rose <06965> up to comfort <05162> him; but he

refused <03985> to be comforted <05162>; and he said <0559>, For

I will go <03381> down <03381> into the grave <07585> unto my

son <01121> mourning <057>. Thus his father <01> wept <01058>

for him.

36 And the Midianites <04092> sold <04376> him into <0413>

Egypt <04714> unto Potiphar <06318>, an officer <05631> of

Pharaoh's <06547>, [and] captain <08269> of the guard <02876>.

Genesis 38

1. And it came <01961> to pass at that time <06256>, that Judah

<03063> went <03381> down <03381> from his brethren <0251>, and

turned <05186> in to a certain <0376> Adullamite <05726>, whose

name <08034> [was] Hirah <02437>.

2 And Judah <03063> saw <07200> there <08033> a daughter

<01323> of a certain <0376> Canaanite <03669>, whose name

<08034> [was] Shuah <07770>; and he took <03947> her, and went

<0935> in unto her.

3 And she conceived <02029>, and bare <03205> a son <01121>;

and he called <07121> his name <08034> Er <06147>.

4 And she conceived <02030> again <05750>, and bare <03205> a

son <01121>; and she called <07121> his name <08034> Onan <0209>.

5 And she yet <05750> again <05750> conceived <03254>, and

bare <03205> a son <01121>; and called <07121> his name <08034>

Shelah <07956>: and he was at Chezib <03580>, when she bare

<03205> him.

6 And Judah <03063> took <03947> a wife <0802> for Er <06147>

his firstborn <01060>, whose name <08034> [was] Tamar <08559>.

7 And Er <06147>, Judah's <03063> firstborn <01060>, was

wicked <07451> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>; and the

LORD <03068> slew <04191> him.

8 And Judah <03063> said <0559> unto Onan <0209>, Go <0935> in

unto thy brother's <0251> wife <0802>, and marry <02992> her,

and raise <06965> up seed <02233> to thy brother <0251>.

9 And Onan <0209> knew <03045> that the seed <02233> should

not be his; and it came <01961> to pass, when <0518> he went

<0935> in unto his brother's <0251> wife <0802>, that he spilled

<07843> [it] on the ground <0776>, lest <01115> that he should

give <05414> seed <02233> to his brother <0251>.

10 And the thing which <0834> he did <06213> displeased the

LORD <03068>: wherefore he slew <04191> him also <01571>.

11 Then said <0559> Judah <03063> to Tamar <08559> his

daughter <03618> in law <03618>, Remain <03427> a widow <0490>

at thy father's <01> house <01004>, till <05704> Shelah <07956>

my son <01121> be grown <01431>: for he said <0559>, Lest

<06435> peradventure he die <04191> also <01571>, as his

brethren <0251> [did]. And Tamar <08559> went <03212> and dwelt

<03427> in her father's <01> house <01004>.

12. And in process <07235> of time <03117> the daughter <01323>

of Shuah <07770> Judah's <03063> wife <0802> died <04191>; and

Judah <03063> was comforted <05162>, and went <05927> up unto

his sheepshearers to Timnath <08553>, he and his friend <07453>

Hirah <02437> the Adullamite <05726>.

13 And it was told <05046> Tamar <08559>, saying <0559>,

Behold <02009> thy father <02524> in law <02524> goeth <05927>

up to Timnath <08553> to shear <01494> his sheep <06629>.

14 And she put <05493> her widow's <0491> garments <0899> off

<05921> from her, and covered <03680> her with a vail <06809>,

and wrapped <05968> herself, and sat <03427> in an open <05869>

place <06607>, which <0834> [is] by the way <01870> to Timnath

<08553>; for she saw <07200> that Shelah <07956> was grown

<01431>, and she was not given <05414> unto him to wife <0802>.

15 When Judah <03063> saw <07200> her, he thought <02803> her

[to be] an harlot <02181>; because <03588> she had covered

<03680> her face <06440>.

16 And he turned <05186> unto her by the way <01870>, and said

<0559>, Go <03051> to, I pray <04994> thee, let me come <0935>

in unto thee; (for he knew <03045> not that she [was] his

daughter <03618> in law <03618>.) And she said <0559>, What

<04100> wilt thou give <05414> me, that thou mayest come <0935>

in unto me?

17 And he said <0559>, I will send <07971> [thee] a kid

<01423> from the flock <06629>. And she said <0559>, Wilt thou

give <05414> [me] a pledge <06162>, till <05704> thou send

<07971> [it]?

18 And he said <0559>, What <0834> pledge <06162> shall I give

<05414> thee? And she said <0559>, Thy signet <02368>, and thy

bracelets <06616>, and thy staff <04294> that [is] in thine hand

<03027>. And he gave <05414> [it] her, and came <0935> in unto

her, and she conceived <02030> by him.

19 And she arose <06965>, and went <03212> away, and laid

<05493> by her vail <06809> from her, and put <03847> on the

garments <0899> of her widowhood <0491>.

20 And Judah <03063> sent <07971> the kid <01423> by the hand

<03027> of his friend <07453> the Adullamite <05726>, to receive

<03947> [his] pledge <06162> from the woman's <0802> hand

<03027>: but he found <04672> her not.

21 Then he asked <07592> the men <0582> of that place <04725>,

saying <0559>, Where <0346> [is] the harlot <06948>, that [was]

openly <05879> by the way <01870> side? And they said <0559>,

There was no <03808> harlot <06948> in this <02088> [place].

22 And he returned <07725> to Judah <03063>, and said <0559>,

I cannot <03808> find <04672> her; and also <01571> the men

<0582> of the place <04725> said <0559>, [that] there was no

<03808> harlot <06948> in this <02088> [place].

23 And Judah <03063> said <0559>, Let her take <03947> [it] to

her, lest <06435> we be shamed <0937>: behold <02009>, I sent

<07971> this <02088> kid <01423>, and thou hast not found

<04672> her.

24. And it came <01961> to pass about three <07969> months

<02320> after, that it was told <05046> Judah <03063>, saying

<0559>, Tamar <08559> thy daughter <03618> in law <03618> hath

played the harlot <02181>; and also <01571>, behold <02009>, she

[is] with child <02030> by whoredom <02183>. And Judah <03063>

said <0559>, Bring <03318> her forth <03318>, and let her be

burnt <08313>.

25 When she [was] brought <03318> forth <03318>, she sent

<07971> to her father <02524> in law <02524>, saying <0559>, By

the man <0376>, whose <0834> these <0428> [are, am] I with child

<02030>: and she said <0559>, Discern <05234>, I pray <04994>

thee, whose <0834> [are] these <0428>, the signet <02858>, and

bracelets <06616>, and staff <04294>.

26 And Judah <03063> acknowledged <05234> [them], and said

<0559>, She hath been more righteous <06663> than I; because

<03588> that I gave <05414> her not to Shelah <07956> my son

<01121>. And he knew <03045> her again <03254> no <03808> more

<05750>.

27 And it came <01961> to pass in the time <06256> of her

travail <03205>, that, behold <02009>, twins <08380> [were] in

her womb <0990>.

28 And it came <01961> to pass, when she travailed <03205>,

that [the one] put <05414> out [his] hand <03027>: and the

midwife <03205> took <03947> and bound <07194> upon his hand

<03027> a scarlet <08144> thread, saying <0559>, This <02088>

came <03318> out first <07223>.

29 And it came <01961> to pass, as he drew <07725> back

<07725> his hand <03027>, that, behold <02009>, his brother

<0251> came <03318> out: and she said <0559>, How <04100> hast

thou broken <06555> forth <06556>? [this] breach <06556> [be]

upon thee: therefore his name <08034> was called <07121> Pharez

<06557>.

30 And afterward <0310> came <03318> out his brother <0251>,

that had the scarlet <08144> thread upon his hand <03027>: and

his name <08034> was called <07121> Zarah <02226>.

Genesis 39

1. And Joseph <03130> was brought <03381> down <03381> to Egypt

<04714>; and Potiphar <06318>, an officer <05631> of Pharaoh

<06547>, captain <08269> of the guard <02876>, an Egyptian

<04713>, bought <07069> him of the hands <03027> of the

Ishmeelites <03459>, which <0834> had brought <03381> him down

<03381> thither <08033>.

2 And the LORD <03068> was with Joseph <03130>, and he was a

prosperous <06743> man <0376>; and he was in the house <01004>

of his master <0113> the Egyptian <04713>.

3 And his master <0113> saw <07200> that the LORD <03068>

[was] with him, and that the LORD <03068> made all <03605> that

he did <06213> to prosper <06743> in his hand <03027>.

4 And Joseph <03130> found <04672> grace <02580> in his sight

<05869>, and he served <08334> him: and he made him overseer

<06485> over <05921> his house <01004>, and all <03605> [that]

he had <03426> he put <05414> into his hand <03027>.

5 And it came <01961> to pass from the time [that] he had

<03426> made him overseer <06485> in his house <01004>, and over

<05921> all <03605> that he had <03426>, that the LORD <03068>

blessed <01288> the Egyptian's <04713> house <01004> for

Joseph's <03130> sake <01558>; and the blessing <01293> of the

LORD <03068> was upon all <03605> that he had <03426> in the

house <01004>, and in the field <07704>.

6 And he left <05800> all <03605> that he had in Joseph's

<03130> hand <03027>; and he knew <03045> not ought <03972> he

had, save the bread <03899> which <0834> he did eat <0398>. And

Joseph <03130> was [a] goodly [person], and well <03303>

favoured <04758>.

7. And it came <01961> to pass after <0310> these <0428> things

<01697>, that his master's <0113> wife <0802> cast <05375> her

eyes <05869> upon Joseph <03130>; and she said <0559>, Lie

<07901> with me.

8 But he refused <03985>, and said <0559> unto his master's

<0113> wife <0802>, Behold <02005>, my master <0113> wotteth

<03045> not what <04100> [is] with me in the house <01004>, and

he hath committed <05414> all <03605> that he hath <03426> to my

hand <03027>;

9 [There is] none <0369> greater <01419> in this <02088> house

<01004> than I; neither <03808> hath he kept <02820> back

<02820> any <03972> thing <03972> from me but thee, because

<0834> thou [art] his wife <0802>: how <0349> then can I do

<06213> this <02063> great <01419> wickedness <07451>, and sin

<02398> against God <0430>?

10 And it came <01961> to pass, as she spake <01696> to Joseph

<03130> day <03117> by day <03117>, that he hearkened <08085>

not unto her, to lie <07901> by her, [or] to be with her.

11 And it came <01961> to pass about this <02088> time <03117>,

that [Joseph] went <0935> into the house <01004> to do <06213>

his business <04399>; and [there was] none <0369> of the men

<0582> of the house <01004> there <08033> within <01004>.

12 And she caught <08610> him by his garment <0899>, saying

<0559>, Lie <07901> with me: and he left <05800> his garment

<0899> in her hand <03027>, and fled <05127>, and got <03318>

him out.

13. And it came <01961> to pass, when she saw <07200> that he

had left <05800> his garment <0899> in her hand <03027>, and was

fled <05127> forth <02315>,

14 That she called <07121> unto the men <0582> of her house

<01004>, and spake <0559> unto them, saying <0559>, See <07200>,

he hath brought <0935> in an Hebrew <05680> unto us to mock

<06711> us; he came <0935> in unto me to lie <07901> with me,

and I cried <07121> with a loud <01419> voice <06963>:

15 And it came <01961> to pass, when he heard <08085> that I

lifted <07311> up my voice <06963> and cried <07121>, that he

left <05800> his garment <0899> with me, and fled <05127>, and

got <03318> him out.

16 And she laid <03241> up his garment <0899> by her, until

<05704> his lord <0113> came <0935> home <01004>.

17 And she spake <01696> unto him according to these <0428>

words <01697>, saying <0559>, The Hebrew <05680> servant <05650>,

which <0834> thou hast brought <0935> unto us, came <0935> in

unto me to mock <06711> me:

18 And it came <01961> to pass, as I lifted <07311> up my

voice <06963> and cried <07121>, that he left <05800> his

garment <0899> with me, and fled <05127> out.

19. And it came <01961> to pass, when his master <0113> heard

<08085> the words <01697> of his wife <0802>, which <0834> she

spake <01696> unto him, saying <0559>, After this <0428> manner

<01697> did <06213> thy servant <05650> to me; that his wrath

<0639> was kindled <02734>.

20 And Joseph's <03130> master <0113> took <03947> him, and

put <05414> him into <0413> the prison, a place <04725> where

<0834> the king's <04428> prisoners <0615> [were] bound <0631>:

and he was there <08033> in the prison.

21 But the LORD <03068> was with Joseph <03130>, and shewed

<05186> him mercy <02617>, and gave <05414> him favour <02580>

in the sight <05869> of the keeper <08269> of the prison.

22 And the keeper <08269> of the prison committed <05414> to

Joseph's <03130> hand <03027> all <03605> the prisoners <0615>

that [were] in the prison; and whatsoever they did <06213> there

<08033>, he was the doer <06218> [of it].

23 The keeper <08269> of the prison looked <07200> not to any

<03972> thing <03972> [that was] under his hand <03027>; because

<0834> the LORD <03068> was with him, and [that] which <0834> he

did <06213>, the LORD <03068> made [it] to prosper <06743>.

Genesis 40

1. And it came <01961> to pass after <0310> these <0428> things

<01697>, [that] the butler <04945> of the king <04428> of Egypt

<04714> and [his] baker <0644> had offended <02398> their lord

<0113> the king <04428> of Egypt <04714>.

2 And Pharaoh <06547> was wroth <07107> against <05921> two

<08147> [of] his officers <05631>, against <05921> the chief

<08269> of the butlers <04945>, and against <05921> the chief

<08269> of the bakers <0644>.

3 And he put <05414> them in ward <04929> in the house <01004>

of the captain <08269> of the guard <02876>, into <0413> the

prison, the place <04725> where <0834> Joseph <03130> [was]

bound <0631>.

4 And the captain <08269> of the guard <02876> charged <06485>

Joseph <03130> with them, and he served <08334> them: and they

continued <01961> a season <03117> in ward <04929>.

5. And they dreamed <02492> a dream <02472> both <08147> of

them, each man <0376> his dream <02472> in one <0259> night

<03915>, each man <0376> according to the interpretation <06623>

of his dream <02472>, the butler <04945> and the baker <0644> of

the king <04428> of Egypt <04714>, which <0834> [were] bound

<0631> in the prison.

6 And Joseph <03130> came <0935> in unto them in the morning

<01242>, and looked <07200> upon them, and, behold <02009>, they

[were] sad <02196>.

7 And he asked <07592> Pharaoh's <06547> officers <05631> that

[were] with him in the ward <04929> of his lord's <0113> house

<01004>, saying <0559>, Wherefore <04069> look <06440> ye [so]

sadly <07451> to day <03117>?

8 And they said <0559> unto him, We have dreamed <02492> a

dream <02472>, and [there is] no <0369> interpreter <06622> of

it. And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto them, [Do] not

interpretations <06623> [belong] to God <0430>? tell <05608> me

[them], I pray <04994> you.

9 And the chief <08269> butler <04945> told <05608> his dream

<02472> to Joseph <03130>, and said <0559> to him, In my dream

<02472>, behold <02009>, a vine <01612> [was] before <06440> me;

10 And in the vine <01612> [were] three <07969> branches

<08299>: and it [was] as though it budded <06524>, [and] her

blossoms <05322> shot <05927> forth; and the clusters <0811>

thereof brought <01310> forth <01310> ripe <01310> grapes

<06025>:

11 And Pharaoh's <06547> cup <03563> [was] in my hand <03027>:

and I took <03947> the grapes <06025>, and pressed <07818> them

into <0413> Pharaoh's <06547> cup <03563>, and I gave <05414>

the cup <03563> into <05921> Pharaoh's <06547> hand <03709>.

12 And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto him, This <02088> [is]

the interpretation <06623> of it: The three <07969> branches

<08299> [are] three <07969> days <03117>:

13 Yet <05750> within three <07969> days <03117> shall Pharaoh

<06547> lift <05375> up thine head <07218>, and restore <07725>

thee unto thy place <03653>: and thou shalt deliver <05414>

Pharaoh's <06547> cup <03563> into his hand <03027>, after the

former <07223> manner <04941> when <0834> thou wast <01961> his

butler <04945>.

14 But think <02142> on me when <0834> it shall be well

<03190> with thee, and shew <06213> kindness <02617>, I pray

<04994> thee, unto me, and make mention <02142> of me unto

Pharaoh <06547>, and bring <03318> me out of this <02088> house

<01004>:

15 For indeed I was stolen <01589> away out of the land <0776>

of the Hebrews <05680>: and here <06311> also <01571> have I

done <06213> nothing that they should put <07760> me into the

dungeon <0953>.

16 When the chief <08269> baker <0644> saw <07200> that the

interpretation <06623> was good <02896>, he said <0559> unto

Joseph <03130>, I also <0637> [was] in my dream <02472>, and,

behold <02009>, [I had] three <07969> white <02751> baskets

<05536> on <05921> my head <07218>:

17 And in the uppermost <05945> basket <05536> [there was] of

all <03605> manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh <06547>; and the

birds <05775> did eat <0398> them out of the basket <05536> upon

my head <07218>.

18 And Joseph <03130> answered <06030> and said <0559>, This

<02088> [is] the interpretation <06623> thereof: The three

<07969> baskets <05536> [are] three <07969> days <03117>:

19 Yet <05750> within three <07969> days <03117> shall Pharaoh

<06547> lift <05375> up thy head <07218> from off <05921> thee,

and shall hang <08518> thee on <05921> a tree <06086>; and the

birds <05775> shall eat <0398> thy flesh <01320> from off

<05921> thee.

20. And it came <01961> to pass the third <07992> day <03117>,

[which was] Pharaoh's <06547> birthday, that he made <06213> a

feast <04960> unto all <03605> his servants <05650>: and he

lifted <05375> up the head <07218> of the chief <08269> butler

<04945> and of the chief <08269> baker <0644> among <08432> his

servants <05650>.

21 And he restored <07725> the chief <08269> butler <04945>

unto his butlership <04945> again <07725>; and he gave <05414>

the cup <03563> into <05921> Pharaoh's <06547> hand <03709>:

22 But he hanged <08518> the chief <08269> baker <0644>: as

Joseph <03130> had interpreted <06622> to them.

23 Yet did not the chief <08269> butler <04945> remember

<02142> Joseph <03130>, but forgat <07911> him.

Genesis 41

1. And it came <01961> to pass at the end <07093> of two full

<03117> years <08141>, that Pharaoh <06547> dreamed <02492>: and,

behold <02009>, he stood <05975> by the river <02975>.

2 And, behold <02009>, there came <05927> up out of the river

<02975> seven <07651> well <03303> favoured <04758> kine <06510>

and fatfleshed <01277>; and they fed <07462> in a meadow <0260>.

3 And, behold <02009>, seven <07651> other <0312> kine <06510>

came <05927> up after <0310> them out of the river <02975>, ill

<07451> favoured <04758> and leanfleshed; and stood <05975> by

the [other] kine <06510> upon the brink <08193> of the river

<02975>.

4 And the ill <07451> favoured <04758> and leanfleshed kine

<06510> did eat <0398> up the seven <07651> well <03303>

favoured <04758> and fat <01277> kine <06510>. So Pharaoh

<06547> awoke <03364>.

5 And he slept <03462> and dreamed <02492> the second <08145>

time: and, behold <02009>, seven <07651> ears <07641> of corn

came <05927> up upon one <0259> stalk <07070>, rank <01277> and

good <02896>.

6 And, behold <02009>, seven <07651> thin <01851> ears <07641>

and blasted <07710> with the east <06921> wind sprung <06779> up

after <0310> them.

7 And the seven thin <01851> ears <07641> devoured <01104> the

seven <07651> rank <01277> and full <04392> ears <07641>. And

Pharaoh <06547> awoke <03364>, and, behold <02009>, [it was] a

dream <02472>.

8 And it came <01961> to pass in the morning <01242> that his

spirit <07307> was troubled <06470>; and he sent <07971> and

called <07121> for all <03605> the magicians <02748> of Egypt

<04714>, and all <03605> the wise <02450> men thereof: and

Pharaoh <06547> told <05608> them his dream <02472>; but [there

was] none <0369> that could interpret <06622> them unto Pharaoh

<06547>.

9. Then spake <01696> the chief <08269> butler <04945> unto

Pharaoh <06547>, saying <0559>, I do remember <02142> my faults

<02399> this day <03117>:

10 Pharaoh <06547> was wroth <07107> with his servants <05650>,

and put <05414> me in ward <04929> in the captain <08269> of

the guard's <02876> house <01004>, [both] me and the chief

<08269> baker <0644>:

11 And we dreamed <02492> a dream <02472> in one <0259> night

<03915>, I and he; we dreamed <02492> each man <0376> according

to the interpretation <06623> of his dream <02472>.

12 And [there <08033> was] there <08033> with us a young

<05288> man <0376>, an Hebrew <05680>, servant <05650> to the

captain <08269> of the guard <02876>; and we told <05608> him,

and he interpreted <06622> to us our dreams <02472>; to each man

<0376> according to his dream <02472> he did interpret <06622>.

13 And it came <01961> to pass, as he interpreted <06622> to

us, so <03651> it was; me he restored <07725> unto mine office

<03653>, and him he hanged <08518>.

14 Then Pharaoh <06547> sent <07971> and called <07121> Joseph

<03130>, and they brought <07323> him hastily <07323> out of the

dungeon <0953>: and he shaved <01548> [himself], and changed

<02498> his raiment <08071>, and came <0935> in unto Pharaoh

<06547>.

15 And Pharaoh <06547> said <0559> unto Joseph <03130>, I have

dreamed <02492> a dream <02472>, and [there is] none <0369> that

can interpret <06622> it: and I have heard <08085> say <0559> of

thee, [that] thou canst understand <08085> a dream <02472> to

interpret <06622> it.

16 And Joseph <03130> answered <06030> Pharaoh <06547>, saying

<0559>, [It is] not in me: God <0430> shall give Pharaoh <06547>

an answer <06030> of peace <07965>.

17. And Pharaoh <06547> said <01696> unto Joseph <03130>, In my

dream <02472>, behold <02009>, I stood <05975> upon the bank

<08193> of the river <02975>:

18 And, behold <02009>, there came <05927> up out of the river

<02975> seven <07651> kine <06510>, fatfleshed <01277> and well

<03303> favoured <08389>; and they fed <07462> in a meadow

<0260>:

19 And, behold <02009>, seven <07651> other <0312> kine

<06510> came <05927> up after <0310> them, poor <01800> and very

<03966> ill <07451> favoured <08389> and leanfleshed <07534>,

such <02007> as I never <03808> saw <07200> in all <03605> the

land <0776> of Egypt <04714> for badness <07455>:

20 And the lean <07534> and the ill <07451> favoured kine

<06510> did eat <0398> up the first <07223> seven <07651> fat

<01277> kine <06510>:

21 And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known

<03045> that they had eaten them; but they [were] still ill

<07451> favoured, as at the beginning <08462>. So I awoke

<03364>.

22 And I saw <07200> in my dream <02472>, and, behold <02009>,

seven <07651> ears <07641> came <05927> up in one <0259> stalk

<07070>, full <04392> and good <02896>:

23 And, behold <02009>, seven <07651> ears <07641>, withered

<06798>, thin <01851>, [and] blasted <07710> with the east

<06921> wind, sprung <06779> up after <0310> them:

24 And the thin <01851> ears <07641> devoured <01104> the

seven <07651> good <02896> ears <07641>: and I told <0559>

[this] unto the magicians <02748>; but [there was] none <0369>

that could declare <05046> [it] to me.

25 And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto Pharaoh <06547>, The

dream <02472> of Pharaoh <06547> [is] one <0259>: God <0430>

hath shewed <05046> Pharaoh <06547> what he [is] about to do

<06213>.

26 The seven <07651> good <02896> kine <06510> [are] seven

<07651> years <08141>; and the seven <07651> good <02896> ears

<07641> [are] seven <07651> years <08141>: the dream <02472>

[is] one <0259>.

27 And the seven <07651> thin <07534> and ill <07451> favoured

kine <06510> that came <05927> up after <0310> them [are] seven

<07651> years <08141>; and the seven <07651> empty <07386> ears

<07641> blasted <07710> with the east <06921> wind shall be

seven <07651> years <08141> of famine <07458>.

28 This [is] the thing <01697> which <0834> I have spoken

<01696> unto Pharaoh <06547>: What <0834> God <0430> [is] about

to do <06213> he sheweth <07200> unto Pharaoh <06547>.

29 Behold <02009>, there come <0935> seven <07651> years

<08141> of great <01419> plenty <07647> throughout all <03605>

the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>:

30 And there shall arise <06965> after <0310> them seven

<07651> years <08141> of famine <07458>; and all <03605> the

plenty <07647> shall be forgotten <07911> in the land <0776> of

Egypt <04714>; and the famine <07458> shall consume <03615> the

land <0776>;

31 And the plenty <07647> shall not be known <03045> in the

land <0776> by reason <06440> of that famine <07458> following;

for it [shall be] very <03966> grievous <03515>.

32 And for that the dream <02472> was doubled <08138> unto

Pharaoh <06547> twice <06471>; [it is] because <03588> the thing

<01697> [is] established <03559> by God <0430>, and God <0430>

will shortly <04116> bring <06213> it to pass <06213>.

33. Now <06258> therefore let Pharaoh <06547> look <07200> out

a man <0376> discreet <0995> and wise <02450>, and set <07896>

him over <05921> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.

34 Let Pharaoh <06547> do <06213> [this], and let him appoint

<06485> officers <06496> over <05921> the land <0776>, and take

up the fifth <02567> part of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> in

the seven <07651> plenteous <07647> years <08141>.

35 And let them gather <06908> all <03605> the food <0400> of

those <0428> good <02896> years <08141> that come <0935>, and

lay <06651> up corn <01250> under <08478> the hand <03027> of

Pharaoh <06547>, and let them keep <08104> food <0400> in the

cities <05892>.

36 And that food <0400> shall be for store <06487> to the land

<0776> against the seven <07651> years <08141> of famine <07458>,

which <0834> shall be in the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>; that

the land <0776> perish <03772> not through the famine <07458>.

37 And the thing <01697> was good <03190> in the eyes <05869>

of Pharaoh <06547>, and in the eyes <05869> of all <03605> his

servants <05650>.

38 And Pharaoh <06547> said <0559> unto his servants <05650>,

Can we find <04672> [such a one] as this <02088> [is], a man

<0376> in whom <0834> the Spirit <07307> of God <0430> [is]?

39 And Pharaoh <06547> said <0559> unto Joseph <03130>,

Forasmuch <0310> as God <0430> hath shewed <03045> thee all

<03605> this <02063>, [there is] none <0369> so discreet <0995>

and wise <02450> as thou [art]:

40 Thou shalt be over <05921> my house <01004>, and according

<05921> unto thy word <06310> shall all <03605> my people

<05971> be ruled <05401>: only <07535> in the throne <03678>

will I be greater <01431> than thou.

41 And Pharaoh <06547> said <0559> unto Joseph <03130>, See

<07200>, I have set <05414> thee over <05921> all <03605> the

land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.

42 And Pharaoh <06547> took <05493> off his ring <02885> from

his hand <03027>, and put <05414> it upon Joseph's <03130> hand

<03027>, and arrayed <03847> him in vestures <0899> of fine

linen <08336>, and put <07760> a gold <02091> chain <07242>

about <05921> his neck <06677>;

43 And he made him to ride <07392> in the second <04932>

chariot <04818> which <0834> he had; and they cried <07121>

before <06440> him, Bow <086> the knee: and he made <05414> him

[ruler] over <05921> all <03605> the land <0776> of Egypt

<04714>.

44 And Pharaoh <06547> said <0559> unto Joseph <03130>, I [am]

Pharaoh <06547>, and without <01107> thee shall no <03808> man

<0376> lift <07311> up his hand <03027> or foot <07272> in all

<03605> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.

45 And Pharaoh <06547> called <07121> Joseph's <03130> name

<08034> Zaphnathpaaneah; and he gave <05414> him to wife <0802>

Asenath <0621> the daughter <01323> of Potipherah <06319> priest

<03548> of On <0204>. And Joseph <03130> went <03318> out over

<05921> [all] the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.

46. And Joseph <03130> [was] thirty <07970> years <08141> old

<01121> when he stood <05975> before <06440> Pharaoh <06547>

king <04428> of Egypt <04714>. And Joseph <03130> went <03318>

out from the presence <06440> of Pharaoh <06547>, and went

<05674> throughout all <03605> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.

47 And in the seven <07651> plenteous <07647> years <08141>

the earth <0776> brought <06213> forth <06213> by handfuls

<07062>.

48 And he gathered <06908> up all <03605> the food <0400> of

the seven <07651> years <08141>, which <0834> were in the land

<0776> of Egypt <04714>, and laid <05414> up the food <0400> in

the cities <05892>: the food <0400> of the field <07704>, which

<0834> [was] round <05439> about every city <05892>, laid

<05414> he up in the same.

49 And Joseph <03130> gathered <06651> corn <01250> as the

sand <02344> of the sea <03220>, very <03966> much <07235>,

until <05704> he left <02308> numbering <05608>; for [it was]

without <0369> number <04557>.

50 And unto Joseph <03130> were born <03205> two <08147> sons

<01121> before <02962> the years <08141> of famine <07458> came

<0935>, which <0834> Asenath <0621> the daughter <01323> of

Potipherah <06319> priest <03548> of On <0204> bare <03205> unto

him.

51 And Joseph <03130> called <07121> the name <08034> of the

firstborn <01060> Manasseh <04519>: For God <0430>, [said he],

hath made me forget <05382> all <03605> my toil <05999>, and all

<03605> my father's <01> house <01004>.

52 And the name <08034> of the second <08145> called <07121>

he Ephraim <0669>: For God <0430> hath caused me to be fruitful

<06509> in the land <0776> of my affliction <06040>.

53 And the seven <07651> years <08141> of plenteousness

<07647>, that was in the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, were

ended <03615>.

54 And the seven <07651> years <08141> of dearth <07458> began

<02490> to come <0935>, according as Joseph <03130> had said

<0559>: and the dearth <07458> was in all <03605> lands <0776>;

but in all <03605> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> there was

bread <03899>.

55 And when all <03605> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> was

famished <07456>, the people <05971> cried <06817> to Pharaoh

<06547> for bread <03899>: and Pharaoh <06547> said <0559> unto

all <03605> the Egyptians <04714>, Go <03212> unto Joseph

<03130>; what <0834> he saith <0559> to you, do <06213>.

56 And the famine <07458> was over <05921> all <03605> the

face <06440> of the earth <0776>: And Joseph <03130> opened

<06605> all <03605> the storehouses <0834>, and sold <07666>

unto the Egyptians <04714>; and the famine <07458> waxed sore

<02388> in the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.

57 And all <03605> countries <0776> came <0935> into Egypt

<04714> to Joseph <03130> for to buy <07666> [corn]; because

<03588> that the famine <07458> was [so] sore <02388> in all

<03605> lands <0776>.

Genesis 42

1. Now when Jacob <03290> saw <07200> that there was corn

<07668> in Egypt <04714>, Jacob <03290> said <0559> unto his

sons <01121>, Why <04100> do ye look <07200> one upon another?

2 And he said <0559>, Behold <02009>, I have heard <08085>

that there is corn <07668> in Egypt <04714>: get <03381> you

down <03381> thither <08033>, and buy <07666> for us from thence

<08033>; that we may live <02421>, and not die <04191>.

3 And Joseph's <03130> ten <06235> brethren <0251> went

<03381> down <03381> to buy <07666> corn <01250> in Egypt

<04714>.

4 But Benjamin <01144>, Joseph's <03130> brother <0251>, Jacob

<03290> sent <07971> not with his brethren <0251>; for he said

<0559>, Lest <06435> peradventure mischief <0611> befall <07122>

him.

5 And the sons <01121> of Israel <03478> came <0935> to buy

<07666> [corn] among <08432> those that came <0935>: for the

famine <07458> was in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>.

6 And Joseph <03130> [was] the governor <07989> over <05921>

the land <0776>, [and] he [it was] that sold <07666> to all

<03605> the people <05971> of the land <0776>: and Joseph's

<03130> brethren <0251> came <0935>, and bowed <07812> down

<07812> themselves before him [with] their faces <0639> to the

earth <0776>.

7. And Joseph <03130> saw <07200> his brethren <0251>, and he

knew <05234> them, but made himself strange <05234> unto them,

and spake <01696> roughly <07186> unto them; and he said <0559>

unto them, Whence <0370> come <0935> ye? And they said <0559>,

From the land <0776> of Canaan <03667> to buy <07666> food

<0400>.

8 And Joseph <03130> knew <05234> his brethren <0251>, but

they knew <03045> not him.

9 And Joseph <03130> remembered <02142> the dreams <02472>

which <0834> he dreamed <02492> of them, and said <0559> unto

them, Ye [are] spies <07270>; to see <07200> the nakedness

<06172> of the land <0776> ye are come <0935>.

10 And they said <0559> unto him, Nay <03808>, my lord <0113>,

but to buy <07666> food <0400> are thy servants <05650> come

<0935>.

11 We [are] all <03605> one <0259> man's <0376> sons <01121>;

we [are] true <03651> [men], thy servants <05650> are no <03808>

spies <07270>.

12 And he said <0559> unto them, Nay <03808>, but to see

<07200> the nakedness <06172> of the land <0776> ye are come

<0935>.

13 And they said <0559>, Thy servants <05650> [are] twelve

brethren <0251>, the sons <01121> of one <0259> man <0376> in

the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>; and, behold <02009>, the

youngest <06996> [is] this day <03117> with our father <01>, and

one <0259> [is] not.

14 And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto them, That [is it] that

I spake <01696> unto you, saying <0559>, Ye [are] spies <07270>:

15 Hereby <02063> ye shall be proved <0974>: By the life

<02416> of Pharaoh <06547> ye shall not go <03318> forth <03318>

hence <02088>, except your youngest <06996> brother <0251> come

<0935> hither.

16 Send <07971> one <0259> of you, and let him fetch <03947>

your brother <0251>, and ye shall be kept <0631> in prison, that

your words <01697> may be proved <0974>, whether [there be any]

truth <0571> in you: or else by the life <02416> of Pharaoh

<06547> surely ye [are] spies <07270>.

17 And he put <0622> them all <0622> together into <0413> ward

<04929> three <07969> days <03117>.

18 And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto them the third <07992>

day <03117>, This <02063> do <06213>, and live <02421>; [for] I

fear <03373> God <0430>:

19 If <0518> ye [be] true <03651> [men], let one <0259> of

your brethren <0251> be bound <0631> in the house <01004> of

your prison <04929>: go <03212> ye, carry <0935> corn <07668>

for the famine <07459> of your houses <01004>:

20 But bring <0935> your youngest <06996> brother <0251> unto

me; so shall your words <01697> be verified <0539>, and ye shall

not die <04191>. And they did <06213> so <03651>.

21. And they said <0559> one <0376> to another <0250>, We [are]

verily <061> guilty <0816> concerning <05921> our brother <0251>,

in that we saw <07200> the anguish <06869> of his soul <05315>,

when he besought <02603> us, and we would not hear <08085>;

therefore is this <02063> distress <06869> come <0935> upon us.

22 And Reuben <07205> answered <06030> them, saying <0559>,

Spake <0559> I not unto you, saying <0559>, Do not sin <02398>

against the child <03206>; and ye would not hear <08085>?

therefore <01571>, behold <02009>, also <01571> his blood

<01818> is required <01875>.

23 And they knew <03045> not that Joseph <03130> understood

<08085> [them]; for he spake unto them by an interpreter <03887>.

24 And he turned <05437> himself about from them, and wept

<01058>; and returned <07725> to them again <07725>, and

communed <01696> with them, and took <03947> from them Simeon

<08095>, and bound <0631> him before their eyes <05869>.

25 Then Joseph <03130> commanded <06680> to fill <04390> their

sacks <03672> with corn <01250>, and to restore <07725> every

man's <0376> money <03701> into <0413> his sack <08242>, and to

give <05414> them provision <06720> for the way <01870>: and

thus <03651> did <06213> he unto them.

26 And they laded <05375> their asses <02543> with the corn

<07668>, and departed <03212> thence <08033>.

27 And as one <0259> of them opened <06605> his sack <08242>

to give <05414> his ass <02543> provender <04554> in the inn

<04411>, he espied <07200> his money <03701>; for, behold

<02009>, it [was] in his sack's <0572> mouth <06310>.

28 And he said <0559> unto his brethren <0251>, My money

<03701> is restored <07725>; and, lo <02009>, [it is] even in my

sack <0572>: and their heart <03820> failed <03318> [them], and

they were afraid <02729>, saying <0559> one <0376> to another

<0250>, What <04100> [is] this <02063> [that] God <0430> hath

done <06213> unto us?

29. And they came <0935> unto Jacob <03290> their father <01>

unto the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, and told <05046> him all

<03605> that befell <07136> unto them; saying <0559>,

30 The man <0376>, [who is] the lord <0113> of the land <0776>,

spake <01696> roughly <07186> to us, and took <05414> us for

spies <07270> of the country <0776>.

31 And we said <0559> unto him, We [are] true <03651> [men];

we are no <03808> spies <07270>:

32 We [be] twelve brethren <0251>, sons <01121> of our father

<01>; one <0259> [is] not, and the youngest <06996> [is] this

day <03117> with our father <01> in the land <0776> of Canaan

<03667>.

33 And the man <0376>, the lord <0113> of the country <0776>,

said <0559> unto us, Hereby <02063> shall I know <03045> that ye

[are] true <03651> [men]; leave <03241> one <0259> of your

brethren <0251> [here] with me, and take <03947> [food for] the

famine <07459> of your households <01004>, and be gone <03212>:

34 And bring <0935> your youngest <06996> brother <0251> unto

me: then shall I know <03045> that ye [are] no <03808> spies

<07270>, but [that] ye [are] true <03651> [men: so] will I

deliver <05414> you your brother <0251>, and ye shall traffick

<05503> in the land <0776>.

35 And it came <01961> to pass as they emptied <07324> their

sacks <08242>, that, behold <02009>, every man's <0376> bundle

<06872> of money <03701> [was] in his sack <08242>: and when

[both] they and their father <01> saw <07200> the bundles

<06872> of money <03701>, they were afraid <03372>.

36 And Jacob <03290> their father <01> said <0559> unto them,

Me have ye bereaved <07921> [of my children]: Joseph <03130>

[is] not, and Simeon <08095> [is] not, and ye will take <03947>

Benjamin <01144> [away]: all <03605> these things are against

<05921> me.

37 And Reuben <07205> spake <0559> unto his father <01>,

saying <0559>, Slay <04191> my two <08147> sons <01121>, if I

bring <0935> him not to thee: deliver <05414> him into <05921>

my hand <03027>, and I will bring <07725> him to thee again

<07725>.

38 And he said <0559>, My son <01121> shall not go <03381>

down <03381> with you; for his brother <0251> is dead <04191>,

and he is left <07604> alone <0905>: if mischief <0611> befall

<07122> him by the way <01870> in the which <0834> ye go <03212>,

then shall ye bring <03381> down <03381> my gray <07872> hairs

with sorrow <03015> to the grave <07585>.

Genesis 43

1. And the famine <07458> [was] sore <03515> in the land <0776>.

2 And it came <01961> to pass, when <0834> they had eaten

<0398> up the corn <07668> which <0834> they had brought <0935>

out of Egypt <04714>, their father <01> said <0559> unto them,

Go <07725> again <07725>, buy <07666> us a little <04592> food

<0400>.

3 And Judah <03063> spake <0559> unto him, saying <0559>, The

man <0376> did solemnly <05749> protest <05749> unto us, saying

<0559>, Ye shall not see <07200> my face <06440>, except <01115>

your brother <0251> [be] with you.

4 If <0518> thou wilt send <07971> our brother <0251> with us,

we will go <03381> down <03381> and buy <07666> thee food <0400>:

5 But if <0518> thou wilt not send <07971> [him], we will not

go <03381> down <03381>: for the man <0376> said <0559> unto us,

Ye shall not see <07200> my face <06440>, except <01115> your

brother <0251> [be] with you.

6 And Israel <03478> said <0559>, Wherefore <04100> dealt ye

[so] ill <07489> with me, [as] to tell <05046> the man <0376>

whether <05750> ye had yet <05750> a brother <0251>?

7 And they said <0559>, The man <0376> asked <07592> us

straitly of our state, and of our kindred <04138>, saying <0559>,

[Is] your father <01> yet alive <02416>? have <03426> ye

[another] brother <0251>? and we told <05046> him according

<05921> to the tenor <06310> of these <0428> words <01697>:

could we certainly know <03045> that he would say <0559>, Bring

<03381> your brother <0251> down <03381>?

8 And Judah <03063> said <0559> unto Israel <03478> his father

<01>, Send <07971> the lad <05288> with me, and we will arise

<06965> and go <03212>; that we may live <02421>, and not die

<04191>, both <01571> we, and thou, [and] also <01571> our

little <02945> ones.

9 I will be surety <06148> for him; of my hand <03027> shalt

thou require <01245> him: if <0518> I bring <0935> him not unto

thee, and set <03322> him before <06440> thee, then let me bear

<02398> the blame <02398> for ever:

10 For except <03884> we had lingered <04102>, surely <03588>

now <06258> we had returned <07725> this <02088> second time

<06471>.

11. And their father <01> Israel <03478> said <0559> unto them,

If <0518> [it must be] so <03651> now <0645>, do <06213> this

<02063>; take <03947> of the best <02173> fruits <02173> in the

land <0776> in your vessels <03627>, and carry <03381> down

<03381> the man <0376> a present <04503>, a little <04592> balm

<06875>, and a little <04592> honey <01706>, spices <05219>, and

myrrh <03910>, nuts <0992>, and almonds <08247>:

12 And take <03947> double <04932> money <03701> in your hand

<03027>; and the money <03701> that was brought <07725> again

<07725> in the mouth <06310> of your sacks <0572>, carry <07725>

[it] again <07725> in your hand <03027>; peradventure <0194> it

[was] an oversight <04870>:

13 Take <03947> also your brother <0251>, and arise <06965>,

go <07725> again <07725> unto the man <0376>:

14 And God <0410> Almighty <07706> give <05414> you mercy

<07356> before <06440> the man <0376>, that he may send <07971>

away your other <0312> brother <0251>, and Benjamin <01144>. If

<0834> I be bereaved <07921> [of my children], I am bereaved

<07921>.

15. And the men <0582> took <03947> that present <04503>, and

they took <03947> double <04932> money <03701> in their hand

<03027>, and Benjamin <01144>; and rose <06965> up, and went

<03381> down <03381> to Egypt <04714>, and stood <05975> before

<06440> Joseph <03130>.

16 And when <03588> Joseph <03130> saw <07200> Benjamin

<01144> with them, he said <0559> to the ruler of his house

<01004>, Bring <0935> [these] men <0582> home <01004>, and slay

<02875>, and make ready <03559>; for [these] men <0582> shall

dine <0398> with me at noon <06672>.

17 And the man <0376> did <06213> as Joseph <03130> bade

<0559>; and the man <0376> brought <0935> the men <0582> into

Joseph's <03130> house <01004>.

18 And the men <0582> were afraid <03372>, because <03588>

they were brought <0935> into Joseph's <03130> house <01004>;

and they said <0559>, Because of the money <03701> that was

returned <07725> in our sacks <0572> at the first <08462> time

<08462> are we brought <0935> in; that he may seek <01556>

occasion <01556> against <05921> us, and fall <05307> upon us,

and take <03947> us for bondmen <05650>, and our asses <02543>.

19 And they came <05066> near <05066> to the steward of

Joseph's <03130> house <01004>, and they communed <01696> with

him at the door <06607> of the house <01004>,

20 And said <0559>, O sir <0113>, we came <03381> indeed down

<03381> at the first <08462> time <08462> to buy <07666> food

<0400>:

21 And it came <01961> to pass, when <03588> we came <0935> to

the inn <04411>, that we opened <06605> our sacks <0572>, and,

behold <02009>, [every] man's <0376> money <03701> [was] in the

mouth <06310> of his sack <0572>, our money <03701> in full

weight <04948>: and we have brought <07725> it again <07725> in

our hand <03027>.

22 And other <0312> money <03701> have we brought <03381> down

<03381> in our hands <03027> to buy <07666> food <0400>: we

cannot <03808> tell <03045> who <04310> put <07760> our money

<03701> in our sacks <0572>.

23 And he said <0559>, Peace <07965> [be] to you, fear <03372>

not: your God <0430>, and the God <0430> of your father <01>,

hath given <05414> you treasure <04301> in your sacks <0572>: I

had <0935> your money <03701>. And he brought <03318> Simeon

<08095> out unto them.

24 And the man <0376> brought <0935> the men <0582> into

Joseph's <03130> house <01004>, and gave <05414> [them] water

<04325>, and they washed <07364> their feet <07272>; and he gave

<05414> their asses <02543> provender <04554>.

25 And they made ready <03559> the present <04503> against

<05704> Joseph <03130> came <0935> at noon <06672>: for they

heard <08085> that they should eat <0398> bread <03899> there

<08033>.

26. And when Joseph <03130> came <0935> home <01004>, they

brought <0935> him the present <04503> which <0834> [was] in

their hand <03027> into the house <01004>, and bowed <07812>

themselves to him to the earth <0776>.

27 And he asked <07592> them of [their] welfare <07965>, and

said <0559>, [Is] your father <01> well <07965>, the old <02205>

man of whom <0834> ye spake <0559>? [Is] he yet <05750> alive

<02416>?

28 And they answered <0559>, Thy servant <05650> our father

<01> [is] in good <07965> health <07965>, he [is] yet <05750>

alive <02416>. And they bowed <06915> down <06915> their heads,

and made obeisance <07812>.

29 And he lifted <05375> up his eyes <05869>, and saw <07200>

his brother <0251> Benjamin <01144>, his mother's <0517> son

<01121>, and said <0559>, [Is] this <02088> your younger <06996>

brother <0251>, of whom <0834> ye spake <0559> unto me? And he

said <0559>, God <0430> be gracious <02603> unto thee, my son

<01121>.

30 And Joseph <03130> made haste <04116>; for his bowels

<07358> did yearn <03648> upon his brother <0251>: and he sought

<01245> [where] to weep <01058>; and he entered <0935> into

[his] chamber <02315>, and wept <01058> there <08033>.

31 And he washed <07364> his face <06440>, and went <03318>

out, and refrained <0662> himself, and said <0559>, Set <07760>

on bread <03899>.

32 And they set <07760> on for him by himself, and for them by

themselves <0905>, and for the Egyptians <04713>, which did eat

<0398> with him, by themselves <0905>: because <03588> the

Egyptians <04713> might <03201> not eat <0398> bread <03899>

with the Hebrews <05680>; for that [is] an abomination <08441>

unto the Egyptians <04714>.

33 And they sat <03427> before <06440> him, the firstborn

<01060> according to his birthright <01062>, and the youngest

<06810> according to his youth <06812>: and the men <0582>

marvelled <08539> one <0376> at <0413> another <07453>.

34 And he took <05375> [and sent <07971>] messes <04864> unto

them from before <06440> him: but Benjamin's <01144> mess

<04864> was five <02568> times <03027> so much <07235> as any of

theirs. And they drank <08354>, and were merry <07937> with him.

Genesis 44

1. And he commanded <06680> the steward <05921> of his house

<01004>, saying <0559>, Fill <04390> the men's <0582> sacks

<0572> [with] food <0400>, as much <0834> as they can <03201>

carry <05375>, and put <07760> every man's <0376> money <03701>

in his sack's <0572> mouth <06310>.

2 And put <07760> my cup <01375>, the silver <03701> cup

<01375>, in the sack's <0572> mouth <06310> of the youngest

<06996>, and his corn <07668> money <03701>. And he did <06213>

according to the word <01697> that Joseph <03130> had spoken

<01696>.

3 As soon as the morning <01242> was light <0216>, the men

<0582> were sent <07971> away, they and their asses <02543>.

4 [And] when they were gone <03318> out of the city <05892>,

[and] not [yet] far <07368> off, Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto

his steward <05921>, Up, follow <07291> after <0310> the men

<0582>; and when thou dost overtake <05381> them, say <0559>

unto them, Wherefore <04100> have ye rewarded <07999> evil

<07451> for good <02896>?

5 [Is] not this <02088> [it] in which <0834> my lord <0113>

drinketh <08354>, and whereby indeed he divineth <05172>? ye

have done evil <07489> in so <0834> doing <06213>.

6 And he overtook <05381> them, and he spake <01696> unto them

these <0411> same words <01697>.

7 And they said <0559> unto him, Wherefore <04100> saith

<01696> my lord <0113> these <0428> words <01697>? God forbid

<02486> that thy servants <05650> should do <06213> according to

this <02088> thing <01697>:

8 Behold <02005>, the money <03701>, which <0834> we found

<04672> in our sacks <0572>' mouths <06310>, we brought <07725>

again <07725> unto thee out of the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>:

how <0349> then should we steal <01589> out of thy lord's

<0113> house <01004> silver <03701> or <0176> gold <02091>?

9 With whomsoever <0834> of thy servants <05650> it be found

<04672>, both let him die <04191>, and we also <01571> will be

my lord's <0113> bondmen <05650>.

10 And he said <0559>, Now <06258> also <01571> [let] it [be]

according unto your words <01697>: he with whom <0834> it is

found <04672> shall be my servant <05650>; and ye shall be

blameless <05355>.

11 Then they speedily <04116> took <03381> down <03381> every

man <0376> his sack <0572> to the ground <0776>, and opened

<06605> every man <0376> his sack <0572>.

12 And he searched <02664>, [and] began <02490> at the eldest

<01419>, and left <03615> at the youngest <06996>: and the cup

<01375> was found <04672> in Benjamin's <01144> sack <0572>.

13 Then they rent <07167> their clothes <08071>, and laded

<06006> every man <0376> his ass <02543>, and returned <07725>

to the city <05892>.

14 And Judah <03063> and his brethren <0251> came <0935> to

Joseph's <03130> house <01004>; for he [was] yet <05750> there

<08033>: and they fell <05307> before <06440> him on the ground

<0776>.

15 And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto them, What <04100> deed

<04639> [is] this that ye have done <06213>? wot <03045> ye not

that such a man <0376> as I can certainly divine <05172>?

16 And Judah <03063> said <0559>, What <04100> shall we say

<0559> unto my lord <0113>? what <04100> shall we speak <01696>?

or how <04100> shall we clear <06663> ourselves? God <0430> hath

found <04672> out the iniquity <05771> of thy servants <05650>:

behold <02009>, we [are] my lord's <0113> servants <05650>, both

<01571> we, and [he] also <01571> with whom <0834> the cup

<01375> is found <04672>.

17 And he said <0559>, God forbid <02486> that I should do

<06213> so <02063>: [but] the man <0376> in whose hand <03027>

the cup <01375> is found <04672>, he shall be my servant <05650>;

and as for you, get <05927> you up in peace <07965> unto your

father <01>.

18. Then Judah <03063> came <05066> near <05066> unto him, and

said <0559>, Oh <0994> my lord <0113>, let thy servant <05650>,

I pray <04994> thee, speak <01696> a word <01697> in my lord's

<0113> ears <0241>, and let not thine anger <0639> burn <02734>

against thy servant <05650>: for thou [art] even as Pharaoh

<06547>.

19 My lord <0113> asked <07592> his servants <05650>, saying

<0559>, Have <03426> ye a father <01>, or <0176> a brother

<0251>?

20 And we said <0559> unto my lord <0113>, We have <03426> a

father <01>, an old <02208> man <0376>, and a child <03206> of

his old <02208> age, a little <06966> one; and his brother

<0251> is dead <04191>, and he alone <0905> is left <03498> of

his mother <0517>, and his father <01> loveth <0157> him.

21 And thou saidst <0559> unto thy servants <05650>, Bring

<03381> him down <03381> unto me, that I may set <07760> mine

eyes <05869> upon him.

22 And we said <0559> unto my lord <0113>, The lad <05288>

cannot leave <05800> his father <01>: for [if] he should leave

<05800> his father, [his father] would die <04191>.

23 And thou saidst <0559> unto thy servants <05650>, Except

your youngest <06996> brother <0251> come <03381> down <03381>

with you, ye shall see <07200> my face <06440> no <03808> more

<03254>.

24 And it came <01961> to pass when <03588> we came <05927> up

unto thy servant <05650> my father <01>, we told <05046> him the

words <01697> of my lord <0113>.

25 And our father <01> said <0559>, Go <07725> again <07725>,

[and] buy <07666> us a little <04592> food <0400>.

26 And we said <0559>, We cannot go <03381> down <03381>: if

<0518> our youngest <06996> brother <0251> be with us, then will

we go <03381> down <03381>: for we may <03201> not see <07200>

the man's <0376> face <06440>, except <0369> our youngest

<06996> brother <0251> [be] with us.

27 And thy servant <05650> my father <01> said <0559> unto us,

Ye know <03045> that my wife <0802> bare <03205> me two <08147>

[sons]:

28 And the one <0259> went <03318> out from me, and I said

<0559>, Surely <0389> he is torn <02963> in pieces; and I saw

<07200> him not since <02008>:

29 And if <0518> ye take <03947> this <02088> also <01571>

from me, and mischief <0611> befall <07136> him, ye shall bring

<03381> down <03381> my gray <07872> hairs with sorrow <07451>

to the grave <07585>.

30 Now <06258> therefore when I come <0935> to thy servant

<05650> my father <01>, and the lad <05288> [be] not with us;

seeing that his life <05315> is bound <07194> up in the lad's

<05288> life;

31 It shall come <01961> to pass, when he seeth <07200> that

the lad <05288> [is] not [with us], that he will die <04191>:

and thy servants <05650> shall bring <03381> down <03381> the

gray <07872> hairs of thy servant <05650> our father <01> with

sorrow <03015> to the grave <07585>.

32 For thy servant <05650> became <06148> surety <06148> for

the lad <05288> unto my father <01>, saying <0559>, If <0518> I

bring <0935> him not unto thee, then I shall bear <02398> the

blame <02398> to my father <01> for ever.

33 Now <06258> therefore, I pray <04994> thee, let thy servant

<05650> abide <03427> instead <08478> of the lad <05288> a

bondman <05650> to my lord <0113>; and let the lad <05288> go

<05927> up with his brethren <0251>.

34 For how <0349> shall I go <05927> up to my father <01>, and

the lad <05288> [be] not with me? lest <06435> peradventure I

see <07200> the evil <07451> that shall come <04672> on my

father <01>.

Genesis 45

1. Then Joseph <03130> could <03201> not refrain <0662> himself

before all <03605> them that stood <05324> by him; and he cried

<07121>, Cause every <03605> man <0376> to go <03318> out from

me. And there stood <05975> no <03808> man <0376> with him,

while Joseph <03130> made himself known <03045> unto his

brethren <0251>.

2 And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians <04714> and the house

<01004> of Pharaoh <06547> heard <08085>.

3 And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto his brethren <0251>, I

[am] Joseph <03130>; doth my father <01> yet <05750> live

<02416>? And his brethren <0251> could <03201> not answer

<06030> him; for they were troubled <0926> at his presence

<06440>.

4 And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto his brethren <0251>,

Come <05066> near <05066> to me, I pray <04994> you. And they

came <05066> near <05066>. And he said <0559>, I [am] Joseph

<03130> your brother <0251>, whom <0834> ye sold <04376> into

Egypt <04714>.

5 Now <06258> therefore be not grieved <06087>, nor <0408>

angry <02734> with yourselves <05869>, that ye sold <04376> me

hither: for God <0430> did send <07971> me before <06440> you to

preserve <04241> life.

6 For these <02088> two years <08141> [hath] the famine

<07458> [been] in the land <0776>: and yet <05750> [there are]

five <02568> years <08141>, in the which <0834> [there shall]

neither <0369> [be] earing <02758> nor harvest <07105>.

7 And God <0430> sent <07971> me before <06440> you to

preserve <07760> you a posterity <07611> in the earth <0776>,

and to save <02421> your lives <02421> by a great <01419>

deliverance <06413>.

8 So now <06258> [it was] not you [that] sent <07971> me

hither, but God <0430>: and he hath made <07760> me a father

<01> to Pharaoh <06547>, and lord <0113> of all <03605> his

house <01004>, and a ruler <04910> throughout all <03605> the

land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.

9 Haste <04116> ye, and go <05927> up to my father <01>, and

say <0559> unto him, Thus <03541> saith <0559> thy son <01121>

Joseph <03130>, God <0430> hath made <07760> me lord <0113> of

all <03605> Egypt <04714>: come <03381> down <03381> unto me,

tarry <05975> not:

10 And thou shalt dwell <03427> in the land <0776> of Goshen

<01657>, and thou shalt be near <07138> unto me, thou, and thy

children <01121>, and thy children's <01121> children <01121>,

and thy flocks <06629>, and thy herds <01241>, and all <03605>

that thou hast:

11 And there <08033> will I nourish <03557> thee; for yet

<05750> [there are] five <02568> years <08141> of famine <07458>;

lest <06435> thou, and thy household <01004>, and all <03605>

that thou hast, come to poverty <03423>.

12 And, behold <02009>, your eyes <05869> see <07200>, and the

eyes <05869> of my brother <0251> Benjamin <01144>, that [it is]

my mouth <06310> that speaketh <01696> unto you.

13 And ye shall tell <05046> my father <01> of all <03605> my

glory <03519> in Egypt <04714>, and of all <03605> that ye have

seen <07200>; and ye shall haste <04116> and bring <03381> down

<03381> my father hither.

14 And he fell <05307> upon his brother <0251> Benjamin's

<01144> neck <06677>, and wept <01058>; and Benjamin <01144>

wept <01058> upon his neck <06677>.

15 Moreover he kissed <05401> all <03605> his brethren <0251>,

and wept <01058> upon them: and after <0310> that his brethren

<0251> talked <01696> with him.

16. And the fame <06963> thereof was heard <08085> in Pharaoh's

<06547> house <01004>, saying <0559>, Joseph's <03130> brethren

<0251> are come <0935>: and it pleased Pharaoh <06547> well, and

his servants <05650>.

17 And Pharaoh <06547> said <0559> unto Joseph <03130>, Say

<0559> unto thy brethren <0251>, This <02063> do <06213> ye;

lade <02943> your beasts <01165>, and go <03212>, get <0935> you

unto the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>;

18 And take <03947> your father <01> and your households

<01004>, and come <0935> unto me: and I will give <05414> you

the good <02898> of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, and ye

shall eat <0398> the fat <02459> of the land <0776>.

19 Now thou art commanded <06680>, this <02063> do <06213> ye;

take <03947> you wagons <05699> out of the land <0776> of Egypt

<04714> for your little <02945> ones, and for your wives <0802>,

and bring <05375> your father <01>, and come <0935>.

20 Also regard not your stuff <03627>; for the good <02898> of

all <03605> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> [is] yours.

21 And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> did <06213> so

<03651>: and Joseph <03130> gave <05414> them wagons <05699>,

according <05921> to the commandment <06310> of Pharaoh <06547>,

and gave <05414> them provision <06720> for the way <01870>.

22 To all <03605> of them he gave <05414> each man <0376>

changes <02487> of raiment <08071>; but to Benjamin <01144> he

gave <05414> three <07969> hundred <03967> [pieces] of silver

<03701>, and five <02568> changes <02487> of raiment <08071>.

23 And to his father <01> he sent <07971> after this <02063>

[manner]; ten <06235> asses <0860> laden <05375> with the good

<02898> things of Egypt <04714>, and ten <06235> she asses

<02543> laden <05375> with corn <01250> and bread <03899> and

meat <04202> for his father <01> by the way <01870>.

24 So he sent <07971> his brethren <0251> away, and they

departed <03212>: and he said <0559> unto them, See that ye fall

<07264> not out by the way <01870>.

25. And they went <05927> up out of Egypt <04714>, and came

<0935> into the land <0776> of Canaan <03667> unto Jacob <03290>

their father <01>,

26 And told <05046> him, saying <0559>, Joseph <03130> [is]

yet <05750> alive <02416>, and he [is] governor <04910> over

<05921> all <03605> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>. And

Jacob's heart <03820> fainted <06313>, for he believed <0539>

them not.

27 And they told <01696> him all <03605> the words <01697> of

Joseph <03130>, which <0834> he had said <01697> unto them: and

when he saw <07200> the wagons <05699> which <0834> Joseph

<03130> had sent <07971> to carry <05375> him, the spirit

<07307> of Jacob <03290> their father <01> revived <02421>:

28 And Israel <03478> said <0559>, [It is] enough <07227>;

Joseph <03130> my son <01121> [is] yet <05750> alive <02416>: I

will go <03212> and see <07200> him before <02962> I die <04191>.

Genesis 46

1. And Israel <03478> took his journey <05265> with all <03605>

that he had, and came <0935> to Beersheba <0884>, and offered

<02076> sacrifices <02077> unto the God <0430> of his father

<01> Isaac <03327>.

2 And God <0430> spake <0559> unto Israel <03478> in the

visions <04759> of the night <03915>, and said <0559>, Jacob

<03290>, Jacob <03290>. And he said <0559>, Here <02009> [am] I.

3 And he said <0559>, I [am] God <0430>, the God <0430> of thy

father <01>: fear <03372> not to go <03381> down <03381> into

Egypt <04714>; for I will there <08033> make <06213> of thee a

great <01419> nation <01471>:

4 I will go <03381> down <03381> with thee into Egypt <04714>;

and I will also <01571> surely bring <05927> thee up [again]:

and Joseph <03130> shall put <07896> his hand <03027> upon thine

eyes <05869>.

5. And Jacob <03290> rose <06965> up from Beersheba <0884>: and

the sons <01121> of Israel <03478> carried <05375> Jacob <03290>

their father <01>, and their little <02945> ones, and their

wives <0802>, in the wagons <05699> which <0834> Pharaoh <06547>

had sent <07971> to carry <05375> him.

6 And they took <03947> their cattle <04735>, and their goods

<07399>, which <0834> they had gotten <07408> in the land <0776>

of Canaan <03667>, and came <0935> into Egypt <04714>, Jacob

<03290>, and all <03605> his seed <02233> with him:

7 His sons <01121>, and his sons <01121>' sons <01121> with

him, his daughters <01363>, and his sons <01121>' daughters

<01363>, and all <03605> his seed <02233> brought <0935> he with

him into Egypt <04714>.

8 And these <0428> [are] the names <08034> of the children

<01121> of Israel <03478>, which came <0935> into Egypt <04714>,

Jacob <03290> and his sons <01121>: Reuben <07205>, Jacob's

<03290> firstborn <01060>.

<05315> of his sons <01121> and his daughters <01363> [were]

thirty <07970> and three <07969>.

16 And the sons <01121> of Gad <01410>; Ziphion, and Haggi

19 The sons <01121> of Rachel <07354> Jacob's <03290> wife

<0802>; Joseph <03130>, and Benjamin <01144>.

20 And unto Joseph <03130> in the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>

were born <03205> Manasseh <04519> and Ephraim <0669>, which

26 All <03605> the souls <05315> that came <0935> with Jacob

<03290> into Egypt <04714>, which came <03318> out of his loins

<03409>, besides <0905> Jacob's <03290> sons <01121>' wives

<0802>, all <03605> the souls <05315> [were] threescore <08346>

28. And he sent <07971> Judah <03063> before <06440> him unto

Joseph <03130>, to direct <03384> his face <06440> unto Goshen

<01657>; and they came <0935> into the land <0776> of Goshen

<01657>.

29 And Joseph <03130> made ready <0631> his chariot <04818>,

and went <05927> up to meet <07125> Israel <03478> his father

<01>, to Goshen <01657>, and presented <07200> himself unto him;

and he fell <05307> on <05921> his neck <06677>, and wept

<01058> on <05921> his neck <06677> a good <05750> while <05750>.

30 And Israel <03478> said <0559> unto Joseph <03130>, Now

<06471> let me die <04191>, since <0310> I have seen <07200> thy

face <06440>, because <03588> thou [art] yet <05750> alive

<02416>.

31 And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto his brethren <0251>,

and unto his father's <01> house <01004>, I will go <05927> up,

and shew <05046> Pharaoh <06547>, and say <0559> unto him, My

brethren <0251>, and my father's <01> house <01004>, which

<0834> [were] in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, are come

<0935> unto me;

32 And the men <0582> [are] shepherds, for their trade <0582>

hath been <01961> to feed cattle <04735>; and they have brought

<0935> their flocks <06629>, and their herds <01241>, and all

<03605> that they have.

33 And it shall come <01961> to pass, when <03588> Pharaoh

<06547> shall call <07121> you, and shall say <0559>, What

<04100> [is] your occupation <04639>?

34 That ye shall say <0559>, Thy servants <05650>' trade

<0582> hath been <01961> about cattle <04735> from our youth

<05271> even until <05704> now <06258>, both <01571> we, [and]

also <01571> our fathers <01>: that ye may dwell <03427> in the

land <0776> of Goshen <01657>; for every <03605> shepherd [is]

an abomination <08441> unto the Egyptians <04714>.

Genesis 47

1. Then Joseph <03130> came <0935> and told <05046> Pharaoh

<06547>, and said <0559>, My father <01> and my brethren <0251>,

and their flocks <06629>, and their herds <01241>, and all

<03605> that they have, are come <0935> out of the land <0776>

of Canaan <03667>; and, behold <02009>, they [are] in the land

<0776> of Goshen <01657>.

2 And he took <03947> some <07097> of his brethren <0251>,

[even] five <02568> men <0582>, and presented <03322> them unto

Pharaoh <06547>.

3 And Pharaoh <06547> said <0559> unto his brethren <0251>,

What <04100> [is] your occupation <04639>? And they said <0559>

unto Pharaoh <06547>, Thy servants <05650> [are] shepherds, both

<01571> we, [and] also <01571> our fathers <01>.

4 They said <0559> moreover unto Pharaoh <06547>, For to

sojourn <01481> in the land <0776> are we come <0935>; for thy

servants <05650> have no <0369> pasture <04829> for their flocks

<06629>; for the famine <07458> [is] sore <03515> in the land

<0776> of Canaan <03667>: now <06258> therefore, we pray <04994>

thee, let thy servants <05650> dwell <03427> in the land <0776>

of Goshen <01657>.

5 And Pharaoh <06547> spake <0559> unto Joseph <03130>, saying

<0559>, Thy father <01> and thy brethren <0251> are come <0935>

unto thee:

6 The land <0776> of Egypt <04714> [is] before <06440> thee;

in the best <04315> of the land <0776> make thy father <01> and

brethren <0251> to dwell <03427>; in the land <0776> of Goshen

<01657> let them dwell <03427>: and if <0518> thou knowest

<03045> [any] men <0582> of activity <02428> among them, then

make <07760> them rulers <08269> over <05921> my cattle <04735>.

7 And Joseph <03130> brought <0935> in Jacob <03290> his

father <01>, and set <05975> him before <06440> Pharaoh <06547>:

and Jacob <03290> blessed <01288> Pharaoh <06547>.

8 And Pharaoh <06547> said <0559> unto Jacob <03290>, How

<04100> old [art] thou?

9 And Jacob <03290> said <0559> unto Pharaoh <06547>, The days

<03117> of the years <08141> of my pilgrimage <04033> [are] an

hundred <03967> and thirty <07970> years <08141>: few <04592>

and evil <07451> have the days <03117> of the years <08141> of

my life <02416> been <01961>, and have not attained <05381> unto

the days <03117> of the years <08141> of the life <02416> of my

fathers <01> in the days <03117> of their pilgrimage <04033>.

10 And Jacob <03290> blessed <01288> Pharaoh <06547>, and went

<03318> out from before <06440> Pharaoh <06547>.

11 And Joseph <03130> placed <03427> his father <01> and his

brethren <0251>, and gave <05414> them a possession <0272> in

the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, in the best <04315> of the

land <0776>, in the land <0776> of Rameses <07486>, as Pharaoh

<06547> had commanded <06680>.

12 And Joseph <03130> nourished <03557> his father <01>, and

his brethren <0251>, and all <03605> his father's <01> household

<01004>, with bread <03899>, according <06310> to [their]

families <02945>.

13. And [there was] no <0369> bread <03899> in all <03605> the

land <0776>; for the famine <07458> [was] very <03966> sore

<03515>, so that the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> and [all] the

land <0776> of Canaan <03667> fainted <03856> by reason <06440>

of the famine <07458>.

14 And Joseph <03130> gathered <03950> up all <03605> the

money <03701> that was found <04672> in the land <0776> of Egypt

<04714>, and in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, for the corn

<07668> which <0834> they bought <07666>: and Joseph <03130>

brought <0935> the money <03701> into Pharaoh's <06547> house

<01004>.

15 And when money <03701> failed <08552> in the land <0776> of

Egypt <04714>, and in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, all

<03605> the Egyptians <04714> came <0935> unto Joseph <03130>,

and said <0559>, Give <03051> us bread <03899>: for why <04100>

should we die <04191> in thy presence <05048>? for the money

<03701> faileth <0656>.

16 And Joseph <03130> said <0559>, Give <03051> your cattle

<04735>; and I will give <05414> you for your cattle <04735>, if

<0518> money <03701> fail <0656>.

17 And they brought <0935> their cattle <04735> unto Joseph

<03130>: and Joseph <03130> gave <05414> them bread <03899> [in

exchange] for horses <05483>, and for the flocks <06629>, and

for the cattle <04735> of the herds <01241>, and for the asses

<02543>: and he fed <05095> them with bread <03899> for all

<03605> their cattle <04735> for that year <08141>.

18 When that year <08141> was ended <08552>, they came <0935>

unto him the second <08145> year <08141>, and said <0559> unto

him, We will not hide <03582> [it] from my lord <0113>, how that

our money <03701> is spent <08552>; my lord <0113> also hath

<0413> our herds <04735> of cattle <0929>; there is not ought

left <07604> in the sight <06440> of my lord <0113>, but our

bodies <01472>, and our lands <0127>:

19 Wherefore <04100> shall we die <04191> before thine eyes

<05869>, both <01571> we and our land <0127>? buy <07069> us and

our land <0127> for bread <03899>, and we and our land <0127>

will be servants <05650> unto Pharaoh <06547>: and give <05414>

[us] seed <02233>, that we may live <02421>, and not die <04191>,

that the land <0127> be not desolate <03456>.

20 And Joseph <03130> bought <07069> all <03605> the land

<0127> of Egypt <04714> for Pharaoh <06547>; for the Egyptians

<04714> sold <04376> every man <0376> his field <07704>, because

<03588> the famine <07458> prevailed <02388> over <05921> them:

so the land <0776> became <01961> Pharaoh's <06547>.

21 And as for the people <05971>, he removed <05674> them to

cities <05892> from [one] end <07097> of the borders <01366> of

Egypt <04714> even to the [other] end <07097> thereof.

22 Only <07535> the land <0127> of the priests <03548> bought

<07069> he not; for the priests <03548> had a portion <02706>

[assigned them] of Pharaoh <06547>, and did eat <0398> their

portion <02706> which <0834> Pharaoh <06547> gave <05414> them:

wherefore they sold <04376> not their lands <0127>.

23 Then Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto the people <05971>,

Behold <02009>, I have bought <07069> you this day <03117> and

your land <0127> for Pharaoh <06547>: lo <01883>, [here is] seed

<02233> for you, and ye shall sow <02232> the land <0127>.

24 And it shall come <01961> to pass in the increase <08393>,

that ye shall give <05414> the fifth <02549> [part] unto Pharaoh

<06547>, and four <0702> parts <03027> shall be your own, for

seed <02233> of the field <07704>, and for your food <0400>, and

for them of your households <01004>, and for food <0398> for

your little <02945> ones.

25 And they said <0559>, Thou hast saved our lives <02421>:

let us find <04672> grace <02580> in the sight <05869> of my

lord <0113>, and we will be Pharaoh's <06547> servants <05650>.

26 And Joseph <03130> made <07760> it a law <02706> over

<05921> the land <0127> of Egypt <04714> unto this <02088> day

<03117>, [that] Pharaoh <06547> should have the fifth <02569>

[part]; except <07535> the land <0127> of the priests <03548>

only <0905>, [which] became <01961> not Pharaoh's <06547>.

27. And Israel <03478> dwelt <03427> in the land <0776> of

Egypt <04714>, in the country <0776> of Goshen <01657>; and they

had possessions <0270> therein, and grew <06509>, and multiplied

<07235> exceedingly <03966>.

28 And Jacob <03290> lived <02421> in the land <0776> of Egypt

<04714> seventeen <07651> years <08141>: so the whole age

<03117> of Jacob <03290> was an hundred <03967> forty <0705> and

seven <07651> years <08141>.

29 And the time <03117> drew nigh <07126> that Israel <03478>

must die <04191>: and he called <07121> his son <01121> Joseph

<03130>, and said <0559> unto him, If <0518> now <04994> I have

found <04672> grace <02580> in thy sight <05869>, put <07760>, I

pray <04994> thee, thy hand <03027> under <08478> my thigh

<03409>, and deal <06213> kindly <02617> and truly <0571> with

me; bury <06912> me not, I pray <04994> thee, in Egypt <04714>:

30 But I will lie <07901> with my fathers <01>, and thou shalt

carry <05375> me out of Egypt <04714>, and bury <06912> me in

their buryingplace <06913>. And he said <0559>, I will do

<06213> as thou hast said <01697>.

31 And he said <0559>, Swear <07650> unto me. And he sware

<07650> unto him. And Israel <03478> bowed <07812> himself upon

the bed's <04296> head <07218>.

Genesis 48

1. And it came <01961> to pass after <0310> these <0428> things

<01697>, that [one] told <0559> Joseph <03130>, Behold <02009>,

thy father <01> [is] sick <02470>: and he took <03947> with him

his two <08147> sons <01121>, Manasseh <04519> and Ephraim

<0669>.

2 And [one] told <05046> Jacob <03290>, and said <0559>,

Behold <02009>, thy son <01121> Joseph <03130> cometh <0935>

unto thee: and Israel <03478> strengthened <02388> himself, and

sat <03427> upon the bed <04296>.

3 And Jacob <03290> said <0559> unto Joseph <03130>, God

<0410> Almighty <07706> appeared <07200> unto me at Luz <03870>

in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, and blessed <01288> me,

4 And said <0559> unto me, Behold <02005>, I will make thee

fruitful <06509>, and multiply <07235> thee, and I will make

<05414> of thee a multitude <06951> of people <05971>; and will

give <05414> this <02063> land <0776> to thy seed <02233> after

<0310> thee [for] an everlasting <05769> possession <0272>.

5 And now <06258> thy two <08147> sons <01121>, Ephraim <0669>

and Manasseh <04519>, which were born <03205> unto thee in the

land <0776> of Egypt <04714> before <05704> I came <0935> unto

thee into Egypt <04714>, [are] mine; as Reuben <07205> and

Simeon <08095>, they shall be mine.

6 And thy issue <04138>, which <0834> thou begettest <03205>

after <0310> them, shall be thine, [and] shall be called <07121>

after <05921> the name <08034> of their brethren <0251> in their

inheritance <05159>.

7 And as for me, when I came <0935> from Padan <06307>, Rachel

<07354> died <04191> by me in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>

in the way <01870>, when <05750> yet <05750> [there was] but a

little <03530> way <0776> to come <0935> unto Ephrath <0672>:

and I buried <06912> her there <08033> in the way <01870> of

Ephrath <0672>; the same <01931> [is] Bethlehem <01035>.

8. And Israel <03478> beheld <07200> Joseph's <03130> sons

<01121>, and said <0559>, Who <04310> [are] these <0428>?

9 And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto his father <01>, They

[are] my sons <01121>, whom <0834> God <0430> hath given <05414>

me in this <02088> [place]. And he said <0559>, Bring <03947>

them, I pray <04994> thee, unto me, and I will bless <01288>

them.

10 Now the eyes <05869> of Israel <03478> were dim <03513> for

age <02207>, [so that] he could <03201> not see <07200>. And he

brought <05066> them near <05066> unto him; and he kissed

<05401> them, and embraced <02263> them.

11 And Israel <03478> said <0559> unto Joseph <03130>, I had

not thought <06419> to see <07200> thy face <06440>: and, lo

<02009>, God <0430> hath shewed <07200> me also <01571> thy seed

<02233>.

12 And Joseph <03130> brought <03318> them out from between

<05973> his knees <01290>, and he bowed <07812> himself with his

face <0639> to the earth <0776>.

13 And Joseph <03130> took <03947> them both <08147>, Ephraim

<0669> in his right <03225> hand <03225> toward Israel's <03478>

left <08040> hand <08040>, and Manasseh <04519> in his left

<08040> hand <08040> toward Israel's <03478> right <03225> hand

<03225>, and brought <05066> [them] near <05066> unto him.

14 And Israel <03478> stretched <07971> out his right <03225>

hand <03225>, and laid <07896> [it] upon Ephraim's <0669> head

<07218>, who <01931> [was] the younger <06810>, and his left

<08040> hand <08040> upon Manasseh's <04519> head <07218>,

guiding his hands <03027> wittingly <07919>; for Manasseh

<04519> [was] the firstborn <01060>.

15 And he blessed <01288> Joseph <03130>, and said <0559>, God

<0430>, before <06440> whom <0834> my fathers <01> Abraham <085>

and Isaac <03327> did walk <01980>, the God <0430> which fed

<07462> me all my life long <05750> unto this day <03117>,

16 The Angel <04397> which redeemed <01350> me from all

<03605> evil <07451>, bless <01288> the lads <05288>; and let my

name <08034> be named <07121> on them, and the name <08034> of

my fathers <01> Abraham <085> and Isaac <03327>; and let them

grow <01711> into a multitude <07230> in the midst <07130> of

the earth <0776>.

17 And when Joseph <03130> saw <07200> that his father <01>

laid <07896> his right <03225> hand <03027> upon the head

<07218> of Ephraim <0669>, it displeased him: and he held

<08557> up his father's <01> hand <03027>, to remove <05493> it

from Ephraim's <0669> head <07218> unto Manasseh's <04519> head

<07218>.

18 And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto his father <01>, Not so

<03651>, my father <01>: for this <02088> [is] the firstborn

<01060>; put <07760> thy right <03225> hand <03225> upon his

head <07218>.

19 And his father <01> refused <03985>, and said <0559>, I

know <03045> [it], my son <01121>, I know <03045> [it]: he also

<01571> shall become <01961> a people <05971>, and he also

<01571> shall be great <01431>: but truly <0199> his younger

<06996> brother <0251> shall be greater <01431> than he, and his

seed <02233> shall become <01961> a multitude <04393> of nations

<01471>.

20 And he blessed <01288> them that day <03117>, saying <0559>,

In thee shall Israel <03478> bless <01288>, saying <0559>, God

<0430> make <06213> thee as Ephraim <0669> and as Manasseh

<04519>: and he set <07760> Ephraim <0669> before <06440>

Manasseh <04519>.

21 And Israel <03478> said <0559> unto Joseph <03130>, Behold

<02009>, I die <04191>: but God <0430> shall be with you, and

bring <07725> you again <07725> unto the land <0776> of your

fathers <01>.

22 Moreover I have given <05414> to thee one <0259> portion

<07926> above <05921> thy brethren <0251>, which <0834> I took

<03947> out of the hand <03027> of the Amorite <0567> with my

sword <02719> and with my bow <07198>.

Genesis 49

1. And Jacob <03290> called <07121> unto his sons <01121>, and

said <0559>, Gather <0622> yourselves together, that I may tell

<05046> you [that] which <0834> shall befall <07122> you in the

last <0319> days <03117>.

2 Gather <06908> yourselves together, and hear <08085>, ye

sons <01121> of Jacob <03290>; and hearken <08085> unto Israel

<03478> your father <01>.

3 Reuben <07205>, thou [art] my firstborn <01060>, my might

<03581>, and the beginning <07225> of my strength <0202>, the

excellency <03499> of dignity <07613>, and the excellency

<03499> of power <05794>:

4 Unstable <06349> as water <04325>, thou shalt not excel

<03498>; because <03588> thou wentest <05927> up to thy father's

<01> bed <04904>; then <0227> defiledst <02490> thou [it]: he

went <05927> up to my couch <03326>.

5. Simeon <08095> and Levi <03878> [are] brethren <0251>;

instruments <03627> of cruelty <02555> [are in] their

habitations <04380>.

6 O my soul <05315>, come <0935> not thou into their secret

<05475>; unto their assembly <06951>, mine honour <03519>, be

not thou united <03161>: for in their anger <0639> they slew

<02026> a man <0376>, and in their selfwill <07522> they digged

<06131> down <06131> a wall <07794>.

7 Cursed <0779> [be] their anger <0639>, for [it was] fierce

<05794>; and their wrath <05678>, for it was cruel <07185>: I

will divide <02505> them in Jacob <03290>, and scatter <06327>

them in Israel <03478>.

8. Judah <03063>, thou [art he] whom thy brethren <0251> shall

praise <03034>: thy hand <03027> [shall be] in the neck <06203>

of thine enemies <0341>; thy father's <01> children <01121>

shall bow <07812> down <07812> before thee.

9 Judah <03063> [is] a lion's <0738> whelp <01482>: from the

prey <02964>, my son <01121>, thou art gone <05927> up: he

stooped <03766> down, he couched <07257> as a lion <0738>, and

as an old <03833> lion <03833>; who <04310> shall rouse <06965>

him up?

10 The sceptre <07626> shall not depart <05493> from Judah

<03063>, nor a lawgiver <02710> from between <0996> his feet

<07272>, until Shiloh <07886> come <0935>; and unto him [shall]

the gathering <03349> of the people <05971> [be].

11 Binding <0681> his foal <05895> unto the vine <01612>, and

his ass's <0860> colt <01121> unto the choice <08321> vine

<08321>; he washed <03526> his garments <03830> in wine <03196>,

and his clothes <05497> in the blood <01818> of grapes <06025>:

12 His eyes <05869> [shall be] red <02447> with wine <03196>,

and his teeth <08127> white <03836> with milk <02461>.

13. Zebulun <02074> shall dwell <07931> at the haven <02348> of

the sea <03220>; and he [shall be] for an haven <02348> of ships

<0591>; and his border <03411> [shall be] unto Zidon <06721>.

14 Issachar <03485> [is] a strong <01634> ass <02543> couching

<07257> down between <0996> two burdens <04942>:

15 And he saw <07200> that rest <04496> [was] good <02896>,

and the land <0776> that [it was] pleasant <05276>; and bowed

<05186> his shoulder <07926> to bear <05445>, and became <01961>

a servant <05647> unto tribute <04522>.

16 Dan <01835> shall judge <01777> his people <05971>, as one

<0259> of the tribes <07626> of Israel <03478>.

17 Dan <01835> shall be a serpent <05175> by the way <01870>,

an adder <08207> in the path <0734>, that biteth <05391> the

horse <05483> heels <06119>, so that his rider <07392> shall

fall <05307> backward <0268>.

18 I have waited <06960> for thy salvation <03444>, O LORD

<03068>.

19 Gad <01410>, a troop <01416> shall overcome <01464> him:

but he shall overcome <01464> at the last <06119>.

20 Out of Asher <0836> his bread <03899> [shall be] fat

<08082>, and he shall yield <05414> royal <04428> dainties

<04574>.

21 Naphtali <05321> [is] a hind <0355> let loose <07971>: he

giveth <05414> goodly <08233> words <0561>.

22. Joseph <03130> [is] a fruitful <06509> bough <01121>,

[even] a fruitful <06509> bough <01121> by a well <05869>;

[whose] branches <01121> run <06805> over <05921> the wall

<07794>:

23 The archers <01167> have sorely <04843> grieved <04843> him,

and shot <07232> [at him], and hated <07852> him:

24 But his bow <07198> abode <03427> in strength <0386>, and

the arms <02220> of his hands <03027> were made strong <06339>

by the hands <03027> of the mighty <046> [God] of Jacob <03290>;

(from thence <08033> [is] the shepherd <07462>, the stone <068>

of Israel <03478>:)

25 [Even] by the God <0410> of thy father <01>, who shall help

<05826> thee; and by the Almighty <07706>, who shall bless

<01288> thee with blessings <01293> of heaven <08064> above

<05921>, blessings <01293> of the deep <08415> that lieth

<07257> under <08478>, blessings <01293> of the breasts <07699>,

and of the womb <07356>:

26 The blessings <01293> of thy father <01> have prevailed

<01396> above <05921> the blessings <01293> of my progenitors

<02029> unto the utmost bound <08379> of the everlasting <05769>

hills <01389>: they shall be on the head <07218> of Joseph

<03130>, and on the crown <06936> of the head <06936> of him

that was separate <05139> from his brethren <0251>.

27 Benjamin <01144> shall ravin <02963> [as] a wolf <02061>:

in the morning <01242> he shall devour <0398> the prey <05706>,

and at night <06153> he shall divide <02505> the spoil <07998>.

28. All <03605> these <0428> [are] the twelve tribes <07626> of

Israel <03478>: and this <02063> [is it] that their father <01>

spake <01696> unto them, and blessed <01288> them; every one

<0376> according <0834> to his blessing <01293> he blessed

<01288> them.

29 And he charged <06680> them, and said <0559> unto them, I

am to be gathered <0622> unto my people <05971>: bury <06912> me

with my fathers <01> in the cave <04631> that [is] in the field

<07704> of Ephron <06085> the Hittite <02850>,

30 In the cave <04631> that [is] in the field <07704> of

Machpelah <04375>, which <0834> [is] before Mamre <04471>, in

the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, which <0834> Abraham <085>

bought <07069> with the field <07704> of Ephron <06085> the

Hittite <02850> for a possession <0272> of a buryingplace

<06913>.

31 There <08033> they buried <06912> Abraham <085> and Sarah

<08283> his wife <0802>; there <08033> they buried <06912> Isaac

<03327> and Rebekah <07259> his wife <0802>; and there <08033> I

buried <06912> Leah <03812>.

32 The purchase <04736> of the field <07704> and of the cave

<04631> that [is] therein [was] from the children <01121> of

Heth <02845>.

33 And when Jacob <03290> had made an end <03615> of

commanding <06680> his sons <01121>, he gathered <0622> up his

feet <07272> into <0413> the bed <04296>, and yielded <01478> up

the ghost <01478>, and was gathered <0622> unto his people

<05971>.

Genesis 50

1. And Joseph <03130> fell <05307> upon his father's <01> face

<06440>, and wept <01058> upon him, and kissed <05401> him.

2 And Joseph <03130> commanded <06680> his servants <05650>

the physicians <07495> to embalm <02590> his father <01>: and

the physicians <07495> embalmed <02590> Israel <03478>.

3 And forty <0705> days <03117> were fulfilled <04390> for him;

for so <03651> are fulfilled <04390> the days <03117> of those

which are embalmed <02590>: and the Egyptians <04714> mourned

<01058> for him threescore <07657> and ten days <03117>.

4 And when the days <03117> of his mourning <01086> were past

<05674>, Joseph <03130> spake <01696> unto the house <01004> of

Pharaoh <06547>, saying <0559>, If <0518> now <04994> I have

found <04672> grace <02580> in your eyes <05869>, speak <01696>,

I pray <04994> you, in the ears <0241> of Pharaoh <06547>,

saying <0559>,

5 My father <01> made me swear <07650>, saying <0559>, Lo

<02009>, I die <04191>: in my grave <06913> which <0834> I have

digged <03738> for me in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>,

there <08033> shalt thou bury <06912> me. Now <06258> therefore

let me go <05927> up, I pray <04994> thee, and bury <06912> my

father <01>, and I will come <07725> again <07725>.

6 And Pharaoh <06547> said <0559>, Go <05927> up, and bury

<06912> thy father <01>, according as he made thee swear <07650>.

7. And Joseph <03130> went <05927> up to bury <06912> his

father <01>: and with him went <05927> up all <03605> the

servants <05650> of Pharaoh <06547>, the elders <02205> of his

house <01004>, and all <03605> the elders <02205> of the land

<0776> of Egypt <04714>,

8 And all <03605> the house <01004> of Joseph <03130>, and his

brethren <0251>, and his father's <01> house <01004>: only

<07535> their little <02945> ones, and their flocks <06629>, and

their herds <01241>, they left <05800> in the land <0776> of

Goshen <01657>.

9 And there went <05927> up with him both <01571> chariots

<07393> and horsemen <06571>: and it was a very <03966> great

<03515> company <04264>.

10 And they came <0935> to the threshingfloor <01637> of Atad

<0329>, which <0834> [is] beyond <05676> Jordan <03383>, and

there <08033> they mourned <05594> with a great <01419> and very

<03966> sore <03515> lamentation <04553>: and he made <06213> a

mourning <060> for his father <01> seven <07651> days <03117>.

11 And when the inhabitants <03427> of the land <0776>, the

Canaanites <03669>, saw <07200> the mourning <060> in the floor

<01637> of Atad <0329>, they said <0559>, This <02088> [is] a

grievous <03515> mourning <060> to the Egyptians <04714>:

wherefore the name <08034> of it was called <07121> Abelmizraim

<067>, which <0834> [is] beyond <05676> Jordan <03383>.

12 And his sons <01121> did <06213> unto him according <03651>

as he commanded <06680> them:

13 For his sons <01121> carried <05375> him into the land

<0776> of Canaan <03667>, and buried <06912> him in the cave

<04631> of the field <07704> of Machpelah <04375>, which <0834>

Abraham <085> bought <07069> with the field <07704> for a

possession <0272> of a buryingplace <06913> of Ephron <06085>

the Hittite <02850>, before Mamre <04471>.

14 And Joseph <03130> returned <07725> into Egypt <04714>, he,

and his brethren <0251>, and all <03605> that went <05927> up

with him to bury <06912> his father <01>, after <0310> he had

buried <06912> his father <01>.

15. And when Joseph's <03130> brethren <0251> saw <07200> that

their father <01> was dead <04191>, they said <0559>, Joseph

<03130> will peradventure <03863> hate <07852> us, and will

certainly requite <07725> us all <03605> the evil <07451> which

<0834> we did <01580> unto him.

16 And they sent a messenger <06680> unto Joseph <03130>,

saying <0559>, Thy father <01> did command <06680> before

<06440> he died <04194>, saying <0559>,

17 So <03541> shall ye say <0559> unto Joseph <03130>, Forgive

<05375>, I pray <0577> thee now <04994>, the trespass <06588> of

thy brethren <0251>, and their sin <02403>; for they did <01580>

unto thee evil <07451>: and now <04994>, we pray <04994> thee,

forgive <05375> the trespass <06588> of the servants <05650> of

the God <0430> of thy father <01>. And Joseph <03130> wept

<01058> when they spake <01696> unto him.

18 And his brethren <0251> also <01571> went <03212> and fell

<05307> down before his face <06440>; and they said <0559>,

Behold <02009>, we [be] thy servants <05650>.

19 And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto them, Fear <03372> not:

for [am] I in the place of God <0430>?

20 But as for you, ye thought <02803> evil <07451> against

<05921> me; [but] God <0430> meant <02803> it unto good <02896>,

to bring <06213> to pass <06213>, as [it is] this <02088> day

<03117>, to save <02421> much <07227> people <05971> alive

<02421>.

21 Now <06258> therefore fear <03372> ye not: I will nourish

<03557> you, and your little <02945> ones. And he comforted

<05162> them, and spake <01696> kindly unto them.

22. And Joseph <03130> dwelt <03427> in Egypt <04714>, he, and

his father's <01> house <01004>: and Joseph <03130> lived

<02421> an hundred <03967> and ten <06235> years <08141>.

23 And Joseph <03130> saw <07200> Ephraim's <0669> children

<01121> of the third <08029> [generation]: the children <01121>

also <01571> of Machir <04353> the son <01121> of Manasseh

<04519> were brought <03205> up upon Joseph's <03130> knees

<01290>.

24 And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto his brethren <0251>, I

die <04191>: and God <0430> will surely visit <06485> you, and

bring <05927> you out of this <02063> land <0776> unto the land

<0776> which <0834> he sware <07650> to Abraham <085>, to Isaac

<03327>, and to Jacob <03290>.

25 And Joseph <03130> took an oath <07650> of the children

<01121> of Israel <03478>, saying <0559>, God <0430> will surely

visit <06485> you, and ye shall carry <05927> up my bones

<06106> from hence <02088>.

26 So Joseph <03130> died <04191>, [being] an hundred <03967>

and ten <06235> years <08141> old <01121>: and they embalmed

<02590> him, and he was put <03455> in a coffin <0727> in Egypt

<04714>.
