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

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

Genesis 6
1. And it came <01961> to pass, when <03588> men <0120> began
<02490> to multiply <07231> on <05921> the face <06440> of the
earth
<0127>, and daughters <01323> were born <03205> unto them,
2 That the sons <01121> of God <0430> saw <07200> the daughters
<01363> of men <0120> that they [were] fair <02896>; and they
took
<03947> them wives <0802> of all <03605> which <0834> they chose
<0977>.
3. And the LORD <03068> said <0559>, My spirit <07307> shall not
always <05769> strive <01777> with man <0120>, for that he also
<07683> [is] flesh <01320>: yet his days <03117> shall be an
hundred
<03967> and twenty <06242> years <08141>.
4. There were giants <05303> in the earth <0776> in those
<01992>
days <03117>; and also <01571> after <0310> that, when <0834> the
sons <01121> of God <0430> came <0935> in unto the daughters
<01363>
of men <0120>, and they bare <03205> [children] to them, the same
<01992> [became] mighty <01368> men <0120> which <0834> [were] of
old <05769>, men <0582> of renown <08034>.
5 And GOD <03068> saw <07200> that the wickedness <07451> of
man
<0120> [was] great <07227> in the earth <0776>, and [that] every
<03605> imagination <03336> of the thoughts <04284> of his heart
<03820> [was] only <07535> evil <07451> continually.
6. And it repented <05162> the LORD <03068> that he had made
<06213> man <0120> on the earth <0776>, and it grieved <06087>
him
at <0413> his heart <03820>.
7 And the LORD <03068> said <0559>, I will destroy <04229> man
<0120> whom <0834> I have created <01254> from the face <06440>
of
the earth <0127>; both man <0120>, and beast <0929>, and the
creeping <07431> thing, and the fowls <05775> of the air <08064>;
for it repenteth <05162> me that I have made <06213> them.
8. But Noah <05146> found <04672> grace <02580> in the eyes
<05869>
of the LORD <03068>.
9 These <0428> [are] the generations <08435> of Noah <05146>:
Noah
<05146> was a just <06662> man <0376> [and] perfect <08549> in
his
generations <08435>, [and] Noah <05146> walked <01980> with God
<0430>.
10 And Noah <05146> begat <03205> three <07969> sons <01121>,
Shem
<08035>, Ham <02526>, and Japheth <03315>.
11. The earth <0776> also was corrupt <07843> before <06440> God
<0430>, and the earth <0776> was filled <04390> with violence
<02555>.
12 And God <0430> looked <07200> upon the earth <0776>, and,
behold <02009>, it was corrupt <07843>; for all <03605> flesh
<01320> had corrupted <07843> his way upon the earth <0776>.
13. And God <0430> said <0559> unto Noah <05146>, The end
<07093>
of all <03605> flesh <01320> is come <0935> before <06440> me;
for
the earth <0776> is filled <04390> with violence <02555> through
<06440> them; and, behold <02005>, I will destroy <07843> them
with
the earth <0776>.
14 Make <06213> thee an ark <08392> of gopher <01613> wood
<06086>; rooms <07064> shalt thou make <06213> in the ark
<08392>,
and shalt pitch <03724> it within <01004> and without <02351>
with
pitch <03724>.
15 And this <02088> [is the fashion] which <0834> thou shalt
make
<06213> it [of]: The length <0753> of the ark <08392> [shall be]
three <07969> hundred <03967> cubits <0520>, the breadth <07341>
of
it fifty <02572> cubits <0520>, and the height <06967> of it
thirty
<07970> cubits <0520>.
16 A window <06672> shalt thou make <06213> to the ark <08392>,
and in a cubit <0520> shalt thou finish <03615> it above <04605>;
and the door <06607> of the ark <08392> shalt thou set <07760> in
the side <06654> thereof; [with] lower <08482>, second <08145>,
and
third <07992> [stories] shalt thou make <06213> it.
17 And, behold <02005>, I, even I, do bring <0935> a flood
<03999>
of waters <04325> upon the earth <0776>, to destroy <07843> all
<03605> flesh <01320>, wherein <0834> [is] the breath <07307> of
life <02416>, from under <08478> heaven <08064>; [and] every
<03605>
thing that [is] in the earth <0776> shall die <01478>.
18 But with thee will I establish <06965> my covenant <01285>;
and
thou shalt come <0935> into <0413> the ark <08392>, thou, and thy
sons <01121>, and thy wife <0802>, and thy sons <01121>' wives
<0802> with thee.
19 And of every <03605> living <02416> thing of all <03605>
flesh
<01320>, two <08147> of every <03605> [sort] shalt thou bring
<0935>
into <0413> the ark <08392>, to keep <08104> [them] alive <02421>
with thee; they shall be male <02145> and female <05347>.
20 Of fowls <05775> after their kind <04327>, and of cattle
<0929>
after their kind <04327>, of every <03605> creeping <07431>
thing of
the earth <0127> after his kind <04327>, two <08147> of every
<03605> [sort] shall come <0935> unto thee, to keep <08104>
[them]
alive <02421>.
21 And take <03947> thou unto thee of all <03605> food <03978>
that is eaten <0398>, and thou shalt gather <0622> [it] to thee;
and
it shall be for food <0402> for thee, and for them.
22. Thus did <06213> Noah <05146>; according to all <03605> that
God <0430> commanded <06680> him, so <03651> did <06213> he.
Genesis 7
1. And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Noah <05146>, Come
<0935>
thou and all <03605> thy house <01004> into <0413> the ark
<08392>;
for thee have I seen <07200> righteous <06662> before <06440> me
in
this <02088> generation <01755>.
2 Of every <03605> clean <02889> beast <0929> thou shalt take
<03947> to thee by sevens <07651>, the male <0376> and his female
<0802>: and of beasts <0929> that [are] not clean <02889> by two
<08147>, the male <0376> and his female <0802>.
3 Of fowls <05775> also <01571> of the air <08064> by sevens
<07651>, the male <02145> and the female <05347>; to keep seed
<02233> alive <02421> upon the face <06440> of all <03605> the
earth
<0776>.
4 For yet <05750> seven <07651> days <03117>, and I will cause
it
to rain <04305> upon the earth <0776> forty <0705> days <03117>
and
forty <0705> nights <03915>; and every <03605> living substance
<03351> that I have made <06213> will I destroy <04229> from off
<05921> the face <06440> of the earth <0127>.
5. And Noah <05146> did <06213> according unto all <03605> that
the
LORD <03068> commanded <06680> him.
6 And Noah <05146> [was] six <08337> hundred <03967> years
<08141>
old <01121> when the flood <03999> of waters <04325> was upon the
earth <0776>.
7 And Noah <05146> went <0935> in, and his sons <01121>, and
his
wife <0802>, and his sons <01121>' wives <0802> with him, into
<0413> the ark <08392>, because <06440> of the waters <04325> of
the
flood <03999>.
8 Of clean <02889> beasts <0929>, and of beasts <0929> that
[are]
not clean <02889>, and of fowls <05775>, and of every <03605>
thing
that creepeth <07430> upon the earth <0127>,
9 There went <0935> in two <08147> and two <08147> unto Noah
<05146> into <0413> the ark <08392>, the male <02145> and the
female
<05347>, as God <0430> had commanded <06680> Noah <05146>.
10 And it came <01961> to pass after seven <07651> days
<03117>,
that the waters <04325> of the flood <03999> were upon the earth
<0776>.
11. In the six <08337> hundredth <03967> year <08141> of Noah's
<05146> life <02416>, in the second <08145> month <02320>, the
seventeenth <07651> day <03117> of the month <02320>, the same
<02088> day <03117> were all <03605> the fountains <04599> of the
great <07227> deep <08415> broken <01234> up, and the windows
<0699>
of heaven <08064> were opened <06605>.
12 And the rain <01653> was upon the earth <0776> forty <0705>
days <03117> and forty <0705> nights <03915>.
13. In the selfsame day <03117> entered <0935> Noah <05146>, and
Shem <08035>, and Ham <02526>, and Japheth <03315>, the sons
<01121>
of Noah <05146>, and Noah's <05146> wife <0802>, and the three
<07969> wives <0802> of his sons <01121> with them, into <0413>
the
ark <08392>;
14 They, and every <03605> beast <02416> after his kind
<04327>,
and all <03605> the cattle <0929> after their kind <04327>, and
every <03605> creeping <07431> thing that creepeth <07430> upon
the
earth <0776> after his kind <04327>, and every <03605> fowl
<05775>
after his kind <04327>, every <03605> bird <06833> of every
<03605>
sort <03671>.
15 And they went <0935> in unto Noah <05146> into <0413> the
ark
<08392>, two <08147> and two <08147> of all <03605> flesh
<01320>,
wherein <0834> [is] the breath <07307> of life <02416>.
16 And they that went <0935> in, went <0935> in male <02145>
and
female <05347> of all <03605> flesh <01320>, as God <0430> had
commanded <06680> him: and the LORD <03068> shut <05462> him in.
17. And the flood <03999> was forty <0705> days <03117> upon the
earth <0776>; and the waters <04325> increased <07235>, and bare
<05375> up the ark <08392>, and it was lift <07311> up above
<05921>
the earth <0776>.
18 And the waters <04325> prevailed <01396>, and were increased
<07235> greatly <03966> upon the earth <0776>; and the ark
<08392>
went <03212> upon the face <06440> of the waters <04325>.
19 And the waters <04325> prevailed <01396> exceedingly <03966>
upon the earth <0776>; and all <03605> the high <01364> hills
<02022>, that [were] under <08478> the whole <03605> heaven
<08064>,
were covered <03680>.
20 Fifteen <06240> cubits <0520> upward <04605> did the waters
<04325> prevail <01396>; and the mountains <02022> were covered
<03680>.
21. And all <03605> flesh <01320> died <01478> that moved
<07430>
upon the earth <0776>, both of fowl <05775>, and of cattle
<0929>,
and of beast <02416>, and of every <03605> creeping <08318> thing
that creepeth <08317> upon the earth <0776>, and every <03605>
man
<0120>:
22 All <03605> in whose <0834> nostrils <0639> [was] the breath
<05397> of life <02416>, of all <03605> that [was] in the dry
<02724> [land], died <04191>.
23 And every <03605> living substance <03351> was destroyed
<04229> which <0834> was upon the face <06440> of the ground
<0127>,
both man <0120>, and cattle <0929>, and the creeping <07431>
things,
and the fowl <05775> of the heaven <08064>; and they were
destroyed
<04229> from the earth <0776>: and Noah <05146> only <0389>
remained
<07604> [alive], and they that [were] with him in the ark
<08392>.
24 And the waters <04325> prevailed <01396> upon the earth
<0776>
an hundred <03967> and fifty <02572> days <03117>.
Genesis 8
1. And God <0430> remembered <02142> Noah <05146>, and every
<03605> living <02416> thing, and all <03605> the cattle <0929>
that
[was] with him in the ark <08392>: and God <0430> made a wind
<07307> to pass <05674> over <05921> the earth <0776>, and the
waters <04325> asswaged <07918>;
2 The fountains <04599> also of the deep <08415> and the
windows
<0699> of heaven <08064> were stopped <05534>, and the rain
<01653>
from heaven <08064> was restrained <03607>;
3 And the waters <04325> returned <07725> from off <05921> the
earth <0776> continually: and after the end <07097> of the
hundred
<03967> and fifty <02572> days <03117> the waters <04325> were
abated <02637>.
4. And the ark <08392> rested <05117> in the seventh <07637>
month
<02320>, on the seventeenth <07651> day <03117> of the month
<02320>, upon the mountains <02022> of Ararat <0780>.
5 And the waters <04325> decreased <02637> continually <01980>
until <05704> the tenth <06224> month <02320>: in the tenth
<06224>
[month], on the first <0259> [day <03117>] of the month <02320>,
were the tops <07218> of the mountains <02022> seen <07200>.
6. And it came <01961> to pass at the end <07093> of forty
<0705>
days <03117>, that Noah <05146> opened <06605> the window
<02474> of
the ark <08392> which <0834> he had made <06213>:
7 And he sent <07971> forth a raven <06158>, which went <03318>
forth <03318> to and fro <07725>, until <05704> the waters
<04325>
were dried <03001> up from off <05921> the earth <0776>.
8 Also he sent <07971> forth a dove <03123> from him, to see
<07200> if the waters <04325> were abated <07043> from off
<05921>
the face <06440> of the ground <0127>;
9 But the dove <03123> found <04672> no <03808> rest <04494>
for
the sole <03709> of her foot <07272>, and she returned <07725>
unto
him into <0413> the ark <08392>, for the waters <04325> [were] on
<05921> the face <06440> of the whole <03605> earth <0776>: then
he
put <07971> forth <07971> his hand <03027>, and took <03947> her,
and pulled <04026> her in unto him into <0413> the ark <08392>.
10 And he stayed <02342> yet other <0312> seven <07651> days
<03117>; and again <03254> he sent <07971> forth the dove <03123>
out of the ark <08392>;
11 And the dove <03123> came <0935> in to him in the evening
<06153>; and, lo <02009>, in her mouth <06310> [was] an olive
<02132> leaf <05929> pluckt <02965> off: so Noah <05146> knew
<03045> that the waters <04325> were abated <07043> from off
<05921>
the earth <0776>.
12 And he stayed <03176> yet other <0312> seven <07651> days
<03117>; and sent <07971> forth the dove <03123>; which returned
<07725> not again <03254> unto him any <05750> more <05750>.
13. And it came <01961> to pass in the six <08337> hundredth
<03967> and first <07223> year <08141>, in the first <07223>
[month], the first <0259> [day <03117>] of the month <02320>, the
waters <04325> were dried <02717> up from off <05921> the earth
<0776>: and Noah <05146> removed <05493> the covering <04372> of
the
ark <08392>, and looked <07200>, and, behold <02009>, the face
<06440> of the ground <0127> was dry <02720>.
14 And in the second <08145> month <02320>, on the seven
<07651>
and twentieth <06242> day <03117> of the month <02320>, was the
earth <0776> dried <03001>.
15. And God <0430> spake <01696> unto Noah <05146>, saying
<0559>,
16 Go <03318> forth <03318> of the ark <08392>, thou, and thy
wife
<0802>, and thy sons <01121>, and thy sons <01121>' wives <0802>
with thee.
17 Bring <03318> forth <03318> with thee every <03605> living
<02416> thing that [is] with thee, of all <03605> flesh <01320>,
[both] of fowl <05775>, and of cattle <0929>, and of every
<03605>
creeping <07431> thing that creepeth <07430> upon the earth
<0776>;
that they may breed <08317> abundantly <08317> in the earth
<0776>,
and be fruitful <06509>, and multiply <07235> upon the earth
<0776>.
18 And Noah <05146> went <03318> forth <03318>, and his sons
<01121>, and his wife <0802>, and his sons <01121>' wives <0802>
with him:
19 Every <03605> beast <02416>, every <03605> creeping <07431>
thing, and every <03605> fowl <05775>, [and] whatsoever <03605>
creepeth <07430> upon the earth <0776>, after their kinds
<04940>,
went <03318> forth <03318> out of the ark <08392>.
20. And Noah <05146> builded <01129> an altar <04196> unto the
LORD
<03068>; and took <03947> of every <03605> clean <02889> beast
<0929>, and of every <03605> clean <02889> fowl <05775>, and
offered
<05927> burnt <05930> offerings on the altar <04196>.
21 And the LORD <03068> smelled <07306> a sweet <05207> savour
<07381>; and the LORD <03068> said <0559> in his heart <03820>, I
will not again <03254> curse <07043> the ground <0127> any
<05750>
more <05750> for man's <0120> sake <05668>; for the imagination
<03336> of man's <0120> heart <03820> [is] evil <07451> from his
youth <05271>; neither will I again <03254> smite <05221> any
<05750> more <05750> every <03605> thing living <02416>, as I
have
done <06213>.
22 While <05750> the earth <0776> remaineth <03117>, seedtime
<02233> and harvest <07105>, and cold <07120> and heat <02527>,
and
summer <07019> and winter <02779>, and day <03117> and night
<03915>
shall not cease <07673>.
Genesis 9
1. And God <0430> blessed <01288> Noah <05146> and his sons
<01121>, and said <0559> unto them, Be fruitful <06509>, and
multiply <07235>, and replenish <04390> the earth <0776>.
2 And the fear <04172> of you and the dread <02844> of you
shall
be upon every <03605> beast <02416> of the earth <0776>, and upon
every fowl <05775> of the air <08064>, upon all <03605> that
moveth
<07430> [upon] the earth <0127>, and upon all <03605> the fishes
<01709> of the sea <03220>; into your hand <03027> are they
delivered <05414>.
3 Every <03605> moving <07430> thing that liveth <02416> shall
be
meat <0402> for you; even as the green <03418> herb <06212> have
I
given <05414> you all <03605> things.
4 But flesh <01320> with the life <05315> thereof, [which is]
the
blood <01818> thereof, shall ye not eat <0398>.
5 And surely <0389> your blood <01818> of your lives <05315>
will
I require <01875>; at the hand <03027> of every beast <02416>
will I
require <01875> it, and at the hand <03027> of man <0120>; at the
hand <03027> of every man's <0120> brother <0251> will I require
<01875> the life <05315> of man <0120>.
6 Whoso sheddeth <08210> man's <0120> blood <01818>, by man
<0120>
shall his blood <01818> be shed <08210>: for in the image
<06754> of
God <0430> made <06213> he man <0120>.
7 And you, be ye fruitful <06509>, and multiply <07235>; bring
<08317> forth <08317> abundantly <08317> in the earth <0776>, and
multiply <07235> therein.
8. And God <0430> spake <0559> unto Noah <05146>, and to his
sons
<01121> with him, saying <0559>,
9 And I, behold <02005>, I establish <06965> my covenant
<01285>
with you, and with your seed <02233> after <0310> you;
10 And with every <03605> living <02416> creature <05315> that
[is] with you, of the fowl <05775>, of the cattle <0929>, and of
every <03605> beast <02416> of the earth <0776> with you; from
all
<03605> that go <03318> out of the ark <08392>, to every <03605>
beast <02416> of the earth <0776>.
11 And I will establish <06965> my covenant <01285> with you;
neither <03808> shall all <03605> flesh <01320> be cut <03772>
off
any <05750> more <05750> by the waters <04325> of a flood
<03999>;
neither <03808> shall there any <05750> more <05750> be a flood
<03999> to destroy <07843> the earth <0776>.
12. And God <0430> said <0559>, This <02063> [is] the token
<0226>
of the covenant <01285> which <0834> I make <05414> between
<0996>
me and you and every <03605> living <02416> creature <05315> that
[is] with you, for perpetual <05769> generations <01755>:
13 I do set <05414> my bow <07198> in the cloud <06051>, and it
shall be for a token <0226> of a covenant <01285> between <0996>
me
and the earth <0776>.
14 And it shall come <0935> to pass, when I bring <06049> a
cloud
<06051> over <05921> the earth <0776>, that the bow <07198>
shall be
seen <07200> in the cloud <06051>:
15 And I will remember <02142> my covenant <01285>, which
<0834>
[is] between <0996> me and you and every <03605> living <02416>
creature <05315> of all <03605> flesh <01320>; and the waters
<04325> shall no <03808> more <05750> become <01961> a flood
<03999>
to destroy <07843> all <03605> flesh <01320>.
16 And the bow <07198> shall be in the cloud <06051>; and I
will
look <07200> upon it, that I may remember <02142> the everlasting
<05769> covenant <01285> between <0996> God <0430> and every
<03605>
living <02416> creature <05315> of all <03605> flesh <01320> that
[is] upon the earth <0776>.
17 And God <0430> said <0559> unto Noah <05146>, This [is] the
token <0226> of the covenant <01285>, which <0834> I have
established <06965> between <0996> me and all <03605> flesh
<01320>
that [is] upon the earth <0776>.
18. And the sons <01121> of Noah <05146>, that went <03318>
forth
<03318> of the ark <08392>, were Shem <08035>, and Ham <02526>,
and
Japheth <03315>: and Ham <02526> [is] the father <01> of Canaan
<03667>.
19 These <0428> [are] the three <07969> sons <01121> of Noah
<05146>: and of them was the whole <03605> earth <0776>
overspread
<05310>.
20 And Noah <05146> began <02490> [to be] an husbandman, and he
planted <05193> a vineyard <03754>:
21 And he drank <08354> of the wine <03196>, and was drunken
<07943>; and he was uncovered <01540> within <08432> his tent
<0168>.
22 And Ham <02526>, the father <01> of Canaan <03667>, saw
<07200>
the nakedness <06172> of his father <01>, and told <05046> his
two
<08147> brethren <0251> without <02351>.
23 And Shem <08035> and Japheth <03315> took <03947> a garment
<08071>, and laid <07760> [it] upon both <08147> their shoulders
<07926>, and went <03212> backward <0322>, and covered <03680>
the
nakedness <06172> of their father <01>; and their faces <06440>
[were] backward <0322>, and they saw <07200> not their father's
<01>
nakedness <06172>.
24. And Noah <05146> awoke <03364> from his wine <03196>, and
knew
<03045> what his younger <06996> son <01121> had done <06213>
unto
him.
25 And he said <0559>, Cursed <0779> [be] Canaan <03667>; a
servant <05650> of servants <05650> shall he be unto his brethren
<0251>.
26 And he said <0559>, Blessed <01288> [be] the LORD <03068>
God
<0430> of Shem <08035>; and Canaan <03667> shall be his servant
<05650>.
27 God <0430> shall enlarge <06601> Japheth <03315>, and he
shall
dwell <07931> in the tents <0168> of Shem <08035>; and Canaan
<03667> shall be his servant <05650>.
28. And Noah <05146> lived <02421> after <0310> the flood
<03999>
three <07969> hundred <03967> and fifty <02572> years <08141>.
29 And all <03605> the days <03117> of Noah <05146> were nine
<08672> hundred <03967> and fifty <02572> years <08141>: and he
died
<04191>.
Genesis 10
1. Now these <0428> [are] the generations <08435> of the sons
<01121> of Noah <05146>, Shem <08035>, Ham <02526>, and Japheth
<03315>: and unto them were sons <01121> born <03205> after
<0310>
the flood <03999>.
2 The sons <01121> of Japheth <03315>; Gomer <01586>, and Magog
<04031>, and Madai <04074>, and Javan <03120>, and Tubal <08422>,
and Meshech <04902>, and Tiras <08493>.
3 And the sons <01121> of Gomer <01586>; Ashkenaz <0813>, and
Riphath <07384>, and Togarmah <08425>.
4 And the sons <01121> of Javan <03120>; Elishah <0473>, and
Tarshish <08659>, Kittim <03794>, and Dodanim <01721>.
5 By these <0428> were the isles <0339> of the Gentiles <01471>
divided <06504> in their lands <0776>; every <0376> one <0376>
after
his tongue <03956>, after their families <04940>, in their
nations
<01471>.
6. And the sons <01121> of Ham <02526>; Cush <03568>, and
Mizraim
<04714>, and Phut <06316>, and Canaan <03667>.
7 And the sons <01121> of Cush <03568>; Seba <05434>, and
Havilah
<02341>, and Sabtah <05454>, and Raamah <07484>, and Sabtecha
<05455>: and the sons <01121> of Raamah <07484>; Sheba <07614>,
and
Dedan <01719>.
8 And Cush <03568> begat <03205> Nimrod <05248>: he began
<02490>
to be a mighty <01368> one in the earth <0776>.
9 He was a mighty <01368> hunter <06718> before <06440> the
LORD
<03068>: wherefore it is said <0559>, Even as Nimrod <05248> the
mighty <01368> hunter <06718> before <06440> the LORD <03068>.
10 And the beginning <07225> of his kingdom <04467> was Babel
<0894>, and Erech <0751>, and Accad <0390>, and Calneh <03641>,
in
the land <0776> of Shinar <08152>.
11 Out of that land <0776> went <03318> forth <03318> Asshur
<0804>, and builded <01129> Nineveh <05210>, and the city <05892>
Rehoboth <07344>, and Calah <03625>,
12 And Resen <07449> between <0996> Nineveh <05210> and Calah
<03625>: the same <01931> [is] a great <01419> city <05892>.
13 And Mizraim <04714> begat <03205> Ludim <03866>, and Anamim
<06047>, and Lehabim <03853>, and Naphtuhim <05320>,
14 And Pathrusim <06625>, and Casluhim <03695>, (out of whom
<0834> came <03318> Philistim <06430>,) and Caphtorim <03732>.
15. And Canaan <03667> begat <03205> Sidon <06721> his firstborn
<01060>, and Heth <02845>,
16 And the Jebusite <02983>, and the Amorite <0567>, and the
Girgasite <01622>,
17 And the Hivite <02340>, and the Arkite <06208>, and the
Sinite
<05513>,
18 And the Arvadite <0721>, and the Zemarite <06786>, and the
Hamathite <02577>: and afterward <0310> were the families
<04940> of
the Canaanites <03669> spread <06327> abroad <05310>.
19 And the border <01366> of the Canaanites <03669> was from
Sidon
<06721>, as thou comest <0935> to Gerar <01642>, unto Gaza
<05804>;
as thou goest <0935>, unto Sodom <05467>, and Gomorrah <06017>,
and
Admah <0126>, and Zeboim <06636>, even unto Lasha <03962>.
20 These <0428> [are] the sons <01121> of Ham <02526>, after
their
families <04940>, after their tongues <03956>, in their countries
<0776>, [and] in their nations <01471>.
21. Unto Shem <08035> also <01571>, the father <01> of all
<03605>
the children <01121> of Eber <05677>, the brother <0251> of
Japheth
<03315> the elder <01419>, even <01571> to him were [children]
born
<03205>.
22 The children <01121> of Shem <08035>; Elam <05867>, and
Asshur
<0804>, and Arphaxad <0775>, and Lud <03865>, and Aram <0758>.
23 And the children <01121> of Aram <0758>; Uz <05780>, and Hul
<02343>, and Gether <01666>, and Mash <04851>.
24 And Arphaxad <0775> begat <03205> Salah <07974>; and Salah
<07974> begat <03205> Eber <05677>.
25 And unto Eber <05677> were born <03205> two <08147> sons
<01121>: the name <08034> of one <0259> [was] Peleg <06389>; for
in
his days <03117> was the earth <0776> divided <06385>; and his
brother's <0251> name <08034> [was] Joktan <03355>.
26 And Joktan <03355> begat <03205> Almodad <0486>, and Sheleph
<08026>, and Hazarmaveth <02700>, and Jerah <03392>,
27 And Hadoram <01913>, and Uzal <0187>, and Diklah <01853>,
28 And Obal <05745>, and Abimael <039>, and Sheba <07614>,
29 And Ophir <0211>, and Havilah <02341>, and Jobab <03103>:
all
<03605> these <0428> [were] the sons <01121> of Joktan <03355>.
30 And their dwelling <04186> was from Mesha <04331>, as thou
goest <0935> unto Sephar <05611> a mount <02022> of the east
<06924>.
31 These <0428> [are] the sons <01121> of Shem <08035>, after
their families <04940>, after their tongues <03956>, in their
lands
<0776>, after their nations <01471>.
32 These <0428> [are] the families <04940> of the sons <01121>
of
Noah <05146>, after their generations <08435>, in their nations
<01471>: and by these <0428> were the nations <01471> divided
<05504> in the earth <0776> after <0310> the flood <03999>.
Genesis 11
1. And the whole <03605> earth <0776> was of one <0259> language
<08193>, and of one <0259> speech <01697>.
2 And it came <01961> to pass, as they journeyed <05265> from
the
east <06924>, that they found <04672> a plain <01237> in the land
<0776> of Shinar <08152>; and they dwelt <03427> there <08033>.
3 And they said <0559> one <0376> to another <07453>, Go
<03051>
to, let us make brick <03835>, and burn <08313> them throughly.
And
they had <01961> brick <03843> for stone <068>, and slime <02564>
had <01961> they for morter <02563>.
4 And they said <0559>, Go <03051> to, let us build <01129> us
a
city <05892> and a tower <04026>, whose top <07218> [may reach]
unto
heaven <08064>; and let us make <06213> us a name <08034>, lest
<06435> we be scattered <06327> abroad <06527> upon the face
<06440>
of the whole <03605> earth <0776>.
5. And the LORD <03068> came <03381> down <03381> to see <07200>
the city <05892> and the tower <04026>, which <0834> the children
<01121> of men <0120> builded <01129>.
6 And the LORD <03068> said <0559>, Behold <02005>, the people
<05971> [is] one <0259>, and they have all <03605> one <0259>
language <08193>; and this <02088> they begin <02490> to do
<06213>:
and now <06258> nothing will be restrained <01219> from them,
which
they have imagined <02161> to do <06213>.
7 Go <03051> to, let us go <03381> down <03381>, and there
<08033>
confound <01101> their language <08193>, that they may not
understand <08085> one <0376> another's <07453> speech <08193>.
8 So the LORD <03068> scattered <06327> them abroad <06527>
from
thence <08033> upon the face <06440> of all <03605> the earth
<0776>: and they left <02308> off to build <01129> the city
<05892>.
9 Therefore is the name <08034> of it called <07121> Babel
<0894>;
because <03588> the LORD <03068> did there <08033> confound
<01101>
the language <08193> of all <03605> the earth <0776>: and from
thence <08033> did the LORD <03068> scatter <06327> them abroad
<06527> upon the face <06440> of all <03605> the earth <0776>.
10. These <0428> [are] the generations <08435> of Shem <08035>:
Shem <08035> [was] an hundred <03967> years <08141> old <01121>,
and
begat <03205> Arphaxad <0775> two <08147> years <08141> after
<0310>
the flood <03999>:
11 And Shem <08035> lived <02421> after <0310> he begat <03205>
Arphaxad <0775> five <02568> hundred <03967> years <08141>, and
begat <03205> sons <01121> and daughters <01363>.
12 And Arphaxad <0775> lived <02425> five <02568> and thirty
<07970> years <08141>, and begat <03205> Salah <07974>:
13 And Arphaxad <0775> lived <02421> after <0310> he begat
<03205>
Salah <07974> four <0702> hundred <03967> and three <07969> years
<08141>, and begat <03205> sons <01121> and daughters <01363>.
14 And Salah <07974> lived <02425> thirty <07970> years
<08141>,
and begat <03205> Eber <05677>:
15 And Salah <07974> lived <02421> after <0310> he begat
<03205>
Eber <05677> four <0702> hundred <03967> and three <07969> years
<08141>, and begat <03205> sons <01121> and daughters <01363>.
16 And Eber <05677> lived <02421> four <0702> and thirty
<07970>
years <08141>, and begat <03205> Peleg <06389>:
17 And Eber <05677> lived <02421> after <0310> he begat <03205>
Peleg <06389> four <0702> hundred <03967> and thirty <07970>
years
<08141>, and begat <03205> sons <01121> and daughters <01363>.
18 And Peleg <06389> lived <02421> thirty <07970> years
<08141>,
and begat <03205> Reu <07466>:
19 And Peleg <06389> lived <02421> after <0310> he begat
<03205>
Reu <07466> two <08147> hundred <03967> and nine <08672> years
<08141>, and begat <03205> sons <01121> and daughters <01363>.
20 And Reu <07466> lived <02421> two <08147> and thirty <07970>
years <08141>, and begat <03205> Serug <08286>:
21 And Reu <07466> lived <02421> after <0310> he begat <03205>
Serug <08286> two <08147> hundred <03967> and seven <07651> years
<08141>, and begat <03205> sons <01121> and daughters <01363>.
22 And Serug <08286> lived <02421> thirty <07970> years
<08141>,
and begat <03205> Nahor <05152>:
23 And Serug <08286> lived <02421> after <0310> he begat
<03205>
Nahor <05152> two <08147> hundred <03967> years <08141>, and
begat
<03205> sons <01121> and daughters <01363>.
24 And Nahor <05152> lived <02421> nine <08672> and twenty
<06242>
years <08141>, and begat <03205> Terah <08646>:
25 And Nahor <05152> lived <02421> after <0310> he begat
<03205>
Terah <08646> an hundred <03967> and nineteen years <08141>, and
begat <03205> sons <01121> and daughters <01363>.
26 And Terah <08646> lived <02421> seventy <07657> years
<08141>,
and begat <03205> Abram <087>, Nahor <05152>, and Haran <02309>.
27. Now these <0428> [are] the generations <08435> of Terah
<08646>: Terah <08646> begat <03205> Abram <087>, Nahor <05152>,
and
Haran <02309>; and Haran <02309> begat <03205> Lot <03876>.
28 And Haran <02309> died <04191> before his father <01> Terah
<08646> in the land <0776> of his nativity <04138>, in Ur <0218>
of
the Chaldees <03778>.
29 And Abram <087> and Nahor <05152> took <03947> them wives
<0802>: the name <08034> of Abram's <087> wife <0802> [was] Sarai
<08297>; and the name <08034> of Nahor's <05152> wife <0802>,
Milcah
<04435>, the daughter <01323> of Haran <02309>, the father <01>
of
Milcah <04435>, and the father <01> of Iscah <03252>.
30 But Sarai <08297> was barren <06135>; she [had] no <0369>
child
<02056>.
31 And Terah <08646> took <03947> Abram <087> his son <01121>,
and
Lot <03876> the son of Haran <02309> his son's <01121> son, and
Sarai <08297> his daughter <03618> in law <03618>, his son
Abram's
<087> wife <0802>; and they went <03318> forth <03318> with them
from Ur <0218> of the Chaldees <03778>, to go <03212> into <0413>
the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>; and they came <0935> unto
Haran
<02771>, and dwelt <03427> there <08033>.
32 And the days <03117> of Terah <08646> were two <08147>
hundred
<03967> and five <02568> years <08141>: and Terah <08646> died
<04191> in Haran <02771>.
Genesis 12
1. Now the LORD <03068> had said <0559> unto Abram <087>, Get
<03212> thee out of thy country <0776>, and from thy kindred
<04138>, and from thy father's <01> house <01004>, unto a land
<0776> that I will shew <07200> thee:
2 And I will make <06213> of thee a great <01419> nation
<01471>,
and I will bless <01288> thee, and make thy name <08034> great
<01431>; and thou shalt be a blessing <01293>:
3 And I will bless <01288> them that bless <01288> thee, and
curse
<0779> him that curseth <07043> thee: and in thee shall all
<03605>
families <04940> of the earth <0127> be blessed <01288>.
4. So Abram <087> departed <03212>, as the LORD <03068> had
spoken
<01696> unto him; and Lot <03876> went <03212> with him: and
Abram
<087> [was] seventy <07657> and five <02568> years <08141> old
<01121> when he departed <03318> out of Haran <02771>.
5 And Abram <087> took <03947> Sarai <08297> his wife <0802>,
and
Lot <03876> his brother's <0251> son <01121>, and all <03605>
their
substance <07399> that they had gathered <07408>, and the souls
<05315> that they had gotten <06213> in Haran <02771>; and they
went
<03318> forth <03318> to go <03212> into <0413> the land <0776>
of
Canaan <03667>; and into <0413> the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>
they came <0935>.
6. And Abram <087> passed <05674> through the land <0776> unto
the
place <04725> of Sichem <07927>, unto the plain <0436> of Moreh
<04176>. And the Canaanite <03669> [was] then <0227> in the land
<0776>.
7 And the LORD <03068> appeared <07200> unto Abram <087>, and
said
<0559>, Unto thy seed <02233> will I give <05414> this <02063>
land
<0776>: and there <08033> builded <01129> he an altar <04196>
unto
the LORD <03068>, who <04310> appeared <07200> unto him.
8 And he removed <06275> from thence <08033> unto a mountain
<02022> on the east <06924> of Bethel <01008>, and pitched
<05186>
his tent <0168>, [having] Bethel <01008> on the west <03220>, and
Hai <05857> on the east <06924>: and there <08033> he builded
<01129> an altar <04196> unto the LORD <03068>, and called
<07121>
upon the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>.
9 And Abram <087> journeyed <05265>, going <01980> on still
<05265> toward the south <05045>.
10. And there was a famine <07458> in the land <0776>: and Abram
<087> went <03381> down <03381> into <0413> Egypt <04714> to
sojourn
<01481> there <08033>; for the famine <07458> [was] grievous
<03515>
in the land <0776>.
11 And it came <01961> to pass, when <0834> he was come <07126>
near <07126> to enter <0935> into <0935> Egypt <04714>, that he
said
<0559> unto Sarai <08297> his wife <0802>, Behold <02009> now
<04994>, I know <03045> that thou [art] a fair <03303> woman
<0802>
to look <04258> upon:
12 Therefore it shall come <0935> to pass, when <03588> the
Egyptians <04713> shall see <07200> thee, that they shall say
<0559>, This <02063> [is] his wife <0802>: and they will kill
<02026> me, but they will save <02421> thee alive <02421>.
13 Say <0559>, I pray <04994> thee, thou [art] my sister
<0269>:
that it may be well <03190> with me for thy sake <05668>; and my
soul <05315> shall live <02421> because <01558> of thee.
14. And it came <01961> to pass, that, when Abram <087> was come
<0935> into Egypt <04714>, the Egyptians <04713> beheld <07200>
the
woman <0802> that she [was] very <03966> fair <03303>.
15 The princes <08269> also of Pharaoh <06547> saw <07200> her,
and commended <01984> her before <0413> Pharaoh <06547>: and the
woman <0802> was taken <03947> into Pharaoh's <06547> house
<01004>.
16 And he entreated Abram <087> well <03190> for her sake
<05668>:
and he had <01961> sheep <06629>, and oxen <01241>, and he asses
<02543>, and menservants <05650>, and maidservants <08198>, and
she
asses <0860>, and camels <01581>.
17 And the LORD <03068> plagued <05060> Pharaoh <06547> and his
house <01004> with great <01419> plagues <05061> because <01697>
of
Sarai <08297> Abram's <087> wife <0802>.
18 And Pharaoh <06547> called <07121> Abram <087>, and said
<0559>, What <04100> [is] this <02063> [that] thou hast done
<06213>
unto me? why <04100> didst thou not tell <05046> me that she
[was]
thy wife <0802>?
19 Why <04100> saidst <0559> thou, She [is] my sister <0269>?
so I
might have taken <03947> her to me to wife <0802>: now <06258>
therefore behold <02009> thy wife <0802>, take <03947> [her],
and go
<03212> thy way.
20 And Pharaoh <06547> commanded <06680> [his] men <0582>
concerning him: and they sent <07971> him away, and his wife
<0802>,
and all <03605> that he had.
Genesis 13
1. And Abram <087> went <05927> up out of Egypt <04714>, he, and
his wife <0802>, and all <03605> that he had, and Lot <03876>
with
him, into the south <05045>.
2 And Abram <087> [was] very <03966> rich <03513> in cattle
<04735>, in silver <03701>, and in gold <02091>.
3 And he went <03212> on his journeys <04550> from the south
<05045> even to Bethel <01008>, unto the place <04725> where
<0834>
his tent <0168> had been <01961> at the beginning <08462>,
between
<0996> Bethel <01008> and Hai <05857>;
4 Unto the place <04725> of the altar <04196>, which <0834> he
had
made there <08033> at the first <07223>: and there <08033> Abram
<087> called <07121> on the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>.
5. And Lot <03876> also <01571>, which went <01980> with Abram
<087>, had <01961> flocks <06629>, and herds <01241>, and tents
<0168>.
6 And the land <0776> was not able <05375> to bear <05375>
them,
that they might dwell <03427> together <03162>: for their
substance
<07399> was great <07227>, so that they could <03201> not dwell
<03427> together <03162>.
7 And there was a strife <07379> between <0996> the herdmen
<07462> of Abram's <087> cattle <04735> and the herdmen <07462>
of
Lot's <03876> cattle <04735>: and the Canaanite <03669> and the
Perizzite <06522> dwelled <03427> then <0227> in the land <0776>.
8 And Abram <087> said <0559> unto Lot <03876>, Let there be no
<0408> strife <04808>, I pray <04994> thee, between <0996> me and
thee, and between <0996> my herdmen <07462> and thy herdmen
<07462>;
for we [be] brethren <0251>.
9 [Is] not the whole <03605> land <0776> before <06440> thee?
separate <06504> thyself, I pray <04994> thee, from me: if <0518>
[thou wilt take <03947>] the left <08040> hand <08041>, then I
will
go to the right <03231>; or if <0518> [thou depart] to the right
<03225> hand <03225>, then I will go to the left <08041>.
10. And Lot <03876> lifted <05375> up his eyes <05869>, and
beheld
<07200> all <03605> the plain <03603> of Jordan <03383>, that it
[was] well watered <04945> every <03605> where, before <06440>
the
LORD <03068> destroyed <07843> Sodom <05467> and Gomorrah
<06017>,
[even] as the garden <01588> of the LORD <03068>, like the land
<0776> of Egypt <04714>, as thou comest <0935> unto Zoar <06820>.
11 Then Lot <03876> chose <0977> him all <03605> the plain
<03603>
of Jordan <03383>; and Lot <03876> journeyed <05265> east
<06924>:
and they separated <06504> themselves the one <0376> from the
other
<0251>.
12 Abram <087> dwelled <03427> in the land <0776> of Canaan
<03667>, and Lot <03876> dwelled <03427> in the cities <05892> of
the plain <03603>, and pitched <0167> [his] tent <0167> toward
<05704> Sodom <05467>.
13 But the men <0582> of Sodom <05467> [were] wicked <07451>
and
sinners <02400> before the LORD <03068> exceedingly <03966>.
14. And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Abram <087>, after
<0310>
that Lot <03876> was separated <06504> from him, Lift <05375> up
now
thine eyes <05869>, and look <07200> from the place <04725> where
<0834> thou art northward <06828>, and southward <05045>, and
eastward <06924>, and westward <03220>:
15 For all <03605> the land <0776> which <0834> thou seest
<07200>, to thee will I give <05414> it, and to thy seed <02233>
for
ever <05769>.
16 And I will make <07760> thy seed <02233> as the dust
<06083> of
the earth <0776>: so <0834> that if <0518> a man <0376> can
<03201>
number <04487> the dust <06083> of the earth <0776>, [then] shall
thy seed <02233> also <01571> be numbered <04487>.
17 Arise <06965>, walk <01980> through the land <0776> in the
length <0753> of it and in the breadth <07341> of it; for I will
give <05414> it unto thee.
18 Then Abram <087> removed <0167> [his] tent <0167>, and came
<0935> and dwelt <03427> in the plain <0436> of Mamre <04471>,
which
<0834> [is] in Hebron <02275>, and built <01129> there <08033> an
altar <04196> unto the LORD <03068>.
Genesis 14
1. And it came <01961> to pass in the days <03117> of Amraphel
<0569> king <04428> of Shinar <08152>, Arioch <0746> king
<04428> of
Ellasar <0495>, Chedorlaomer <03540> king <04428> of Elam
<05867>,
and Tidal <08413> king <04428> of nations <01471>;
2 [That these] made <06213> war <04421> with Bera <01298> king
<04428> of Sodom <05467>, and with Birsha <01306> king <04428> of
Gomorrah <06017>, Shinab <08134> king <04428> of Admah <0126>,
and
Shemeber <08038> king <04428> of Zeboiim <06636>, and the king
<04428> of Bela <01106>, which <01931> is Zoar <06820>.
3 All <03605> these <0428> were joined <02266> together in the
vale <06010> of Siddim <07708>, which <01931> is the salt <04417>
sea <03220>.
4 Twelve years <08141> they served <05647> Chedorlaomer
<03540>,
and in the thirteenth year <08141> they rebelled <04775>.
5 And in the fourteenth year <08141> came <0935> Chedorlaomer
<03540>, and the kings <04428> that [were] with him, and smote
<05221> the Rephaims <07497> in Ashteroth <06255> Karnaim, and
the
Zuzims in Ham <01990>, and the Emims <0368> in Shaveh <07741>
Kiriathaim <07741>,
6 And the Horites <02752> in their mount <02042> Seir <08165>,
unto Elparan <0364>, which <0834> [is] by the wilderness <04057>.
7 And they returned <07725>, and came <0935> to Enmishpat,
which
<0834> [is] Kadesh <06946>, and smote <05221> all <03605> the
country <07704> of the Amalekites <06003>, and also <01571> the
Amorites <0567>, that dwelt <03427> in Hazezontamar <02688>.
8 And there went <03318> out the king <04428> of Sodom <05467>,
and the king <04428> of Gomorrah <06017>, and the king <04428> of
Admah <0126>, and the king <04428> of Zeboiim <06636>, and the
king
<04428> of Bela <01106> (the same <01931> [is] Zoar <06820>;) and
they joined <06186> battle <04421> with them in the vale <06010>
of
Siddim <07708>;
9 With Chedorlaomer <03540> the king <04428> of Elam <05867>,
and
with Tidal <08413> king <04428> of nations <01471>, and Amraphel
<0569> king <04428> of Shinar <08152>, and Arioch <0746> king
<04428> of Ellasar <0495>; four <0702> kings <04428> with five
<02568>.
10 And the vale <06010> of Siddim <07708> [was full of]
slimepits
<02564>; and the kings <04428> of Sodom <05467> and Gomorrah
<06017>
fled <05127>, and fell <05307> there <08033>; and they that
remained
<07604> fled <05127> to the mountain <02022>.
11 And they took <03947> all <03605> the goods <07399> of Sodom
<05467> and Gomorrah <06017>, and all <03605> their victuals
<0400>,
and went <03212> their way <03212>.
12 And they took <03947> Lot <03876>, Abram's <087> brother's
<0251> son <01121>, who <01931> dwelt <03427> in Sodom <05467>,
and
his goods <07399>, and departed <03212>.
13. And there came <0935> one that had escaped <06412>, and told
<05046> Abram <087> the Hebrew <05680>; for he dwelt <07931> in
the
plain <0436> of Mamre <04471> the Amorite <0567>, brother <0251>
of
Eshcol <0812>, and brother <0251> of Aner <06063>: and these
<01992>
[were] confederate with Abram <087>.
14 And when <03588> Abram <087> heard <08085> that his brother
<0251> was taken captive <07617>, he armed <07324> his trained
<02593> [servants], born <03211> in his own <0249> house <01004>,
three <07969> hundred <03967> and eighteen, and pursued <07291>
[them] unto Dan <01835>.
15 And he divided <02505> himself against <05921> them, he and
his
servants <05650>, by night <03915>, and smote <05221> them, and
pursued <07291> them unto Hobah <02327>, which <0834> [is] on the
left <08040> hand <08040> of Damascus <01834>.
16 And he brought <07725> back <07725> all <03605> the goods
<07399>, and also <01571> brought <07725> again <07725> his
brother
<0251> Lot <03876>, and his goods <07399>, and the women <0802>
also
<01571>, and the people <05971>.
17. And the king <04428> of Sodom <05467> went <03318> out to
meet
<07125> him after <0310> his return <07725> from the slaughter
<05221> of Chedorlaomer <03540>, and of the kings <04428> that
[were] with him, at <0413> the valley <06010> of Shaveh <07740>,
which <01931> [is] the king's <04428> dale <06010>.
18 And Melchizedek <04442> king <04428> of Salem <08004>
brought
<03318> forth <03318> bread <03899> and wine <03196>: and he
[was]
the priest <03548> of the most <05945> high <05945> God <0410>.
19 And he blessed <01288> him, and said <0559>, Blessed <01288>
[be] Abram <087> of the most <05945> high <05945> God <0410>,
possessor <07069> of heaven <08064> and earth <0776>:
20 And blessed <01288> be the most <05945> high <05945> God
<0410>, which <0834> hath delivered <04042> thine enemies <06862>
into thy hand <03027>. And he gave <05414> him tithes <04643> of
all
<03605>.
21. And the king <04428> of Sodom <05467> said <0559> unto Abram
<087>, Give <05414> me the persons <05315>, and take <03947> the
goods <07399> to thyself.
22 And Abram <087> said <0559> to the king <04428> of Sodom
<05467>, I have lift <07311> up mine hand <03027> unto the LORD
<03068>, the most <05945> high <05945> God <0410>, the possessor
<07069> of heaven <08064> and earth <0776>,
23 That I will not [take <03947>] from a thread <02339> even
<05704> to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take <03947> any
<03605> thing that [is] thine, lest <03808> thou shouldest say
<0559>, I have made <06213> Abram <087> rich <06238>:
24 Save <01107> only that which <0834> the young <05288> men
have
eaten <0398>, and the portion <02506> of the men <0582> which
<0834>
went <01980> with me, Aner <06063>, Eshcol <0812>, and Mamre
<04471>; let them take <03947> their portion <02506>.
Genesis 15
1. After <0310> these <0428> things <01697> the word <01697> of
the
LORD <03068> came <01961> unto Abram <087> in a vision <04236>,
saying <0559>, Fear <03372> not, Abram <087>: I [am] thy shield
<04043>, [and] thy exceeding <03966> great <07235> reward
<07939>.
2. And Abram <087> said <0559>, Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, what
<04100> wilt thou give <05414> me, seeing I go <01980> childless
<06185>, and the steward of my house <01004> [is] this <01931>
Eliezer <0461> of Damascus <01834>?
3 And Abram <087> said <0559>, Behold <02005>, to me thou hast
given <05414> no <03808> seed <02233>: and, lo <02009>, one born
<01121> in my house <01004> is mine heir <03423>.
4 And, behold <02009>, the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>
[came]
unto him, saying <0559>, This <02088> shall not be thine heir
<03423>; but he that shall come <03318> forth <03318> out of
thine
own <0249> bowels <04578> shall be thine heir <03423>.
5 And he brought <03318> him forth <03318> abroad <02351>, and
said <0559>, Look <05027> now <04994> toward heaven <08064>, and
tell <05608> the stars <03556>, if <0518> thou be able <03201> to
number <05608> them: and he said <0559> unto him, So <03541>
shall
thy seed <02233> be.
6 And he believed <0539> in the LORD <03068>; and he counted
<02803> it to him for righteousness <06666>.
7. And he said <0559> unto him, I [am] the LORD <03068> that
brought <03318> thee out of Ur <0218> of the Chaldees <03778>, to
give <05414> thee this <02063> land <0776> to inherit <03423> it.
8 And he said <0559>, Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, whereby <04100>
shall I know <03045> that I shall inherit <03423> it?
9 And he said <0559> unto him, Take <03947> me an heifer
<05697>
of three <08027> years <08027> old <08027>, and a she goat
<05795>
of three <08027> years <08027> old <08027>, and a ram <0352> of
three <08027> years <03027> old <08027>, and a turtledove
<08449>,
and a young <01469> pigeon <01469>.
10 And he took <03947> unto him all <03605> these <0428>, and
divided <01334> them in the midst <08432>, and laid <05414> each
<0376> piece <01335> one against <07125> another <07453>: but the
birds <06833> divided <01334> he not.
11 And when the fowls <05861> came <03381> down <03381> upon
the
carcases <06297>, Abram <087> drove <05380> them away.
12. And when <01961> the sun <08121> was going <0935> down
<0935>,
a deep <08639> sleep <08639> fell <05307> upon Abram <087>; and,
lo
<02009>, an horror <0367> of great <01419> darkness <02825> fell
<05307> upon him.
13 And he said <0559> unto Abram <087>, Know <03045> of a
surety
<03045> that thy seed <02233> shall be a stranger <01616> in a
land
<0776> [that is] not theirs <01992>, and shall serve <05647>
them;
and they shall afflict <06031> them four <0702> hundred <03967>
years <08141>;
14 And also <01571> that nation <01471>, whom <0834> they shall
serve <05647>, will I judge <01777>: and afterward shall they
come
<03318> out with great <01419> substance <07399>.
15 And thou shalt go <0935> to thy fathers <01> in peace
<07965>;
thou shalt be buried <06912> in a good <02896> old <07872> age
<07872>.
16 But in the fourth <07243> generation <01755> they shall come
<07725> hither <02008> again <07725>: for the iniquity <05771> of
the Amorites <0567> [is] not yet full <08003>.
17. And it came <01961> to pass, that, when <01961> the sun
<08121>
went <0935> down <0935>, and it was dark <05939>, behold <02009>
a
smoking <06227> furnace <08574>, and a burning <0784> lamp
<03940>
that passed <05674> between <0996> those <0428> pieces <01506>.
18 In the same <01931> day <03117> the LORD <03068> made
<03772> a
covenant <01285> with Abram <087>, saying <0559>, Unto thy seed
<02233> have I given <05414> this <02063> land <0776>, from the
river <05104> of Egypt <04714> unto the great <01419> river
<05104>,
the river <05104> Euphrates <06578>:
19 The Kenites <07017>, and the Kenizzites <07074>, and the
Kadmonites <06935>,
20 And the Hittites <02850>, and the Perizzites <06522>, and
the
Rephaims <07497>,
21 And the Amorites <0567>, and the Canaanites <03669>, and the
Girgashites <01622>, and the Jebusites <02983>.
Genesis 16
1. Now Sarai <08297> Abram's <087> wife <0802> bare <03205> him
no
<03808> children: and she had an handmaid <08198>, an Egyptian
<04713>, whose name <08034> [was] Hagar <01904>.
2 And Sarai <08297> said <0559> unto Abram <087>, Behold
<02009>
now <04994>, the LORD <03068> hath restrained <06113> me from
bearing <03205>: I pray <04994> thee, go <0935> in unto my maid
<08198>; it may <0194> be that I may obtain <01129> children
<01129>
by her. And Abram <087> hearkened <08085> to the voice <06963> of
Sarai <08297>.
3 And Sarai <08297> Abram's <087> wife <0802> took <03947>
Hagar
<01904> her maid <08198> the Egyptian <04713>, after <07093>
Abram
<087> had dwelt <03427> ten <06235> years <08141> in the land
<0776>
of Canaan <03667>, and gave <05414> her to her husband <0376>
Abram
<087> to be his wife <0802>.
4. And he went <0935> in unto Hagar <01904>, and she conceived
<02030>: and when she saw <07200> that she had conceived <02030>,
her mistress <01404> was despised <07043> in her eyes <05869>.
5 And Sarai <08297> said <0559> unto Abram <087>, My wrong
<02555>
[be] upon thee: I have given <05414> my maid <08198> into thy
bosom
<02436>; and when she saw <07200> that she had conceived <02030>,
I
was despised <07043> in her eyes <05869>: the LORD <03068> judge
<08199> between <0996> me and thee.
6 But Abram <087> said <0559> unto Sarai <08297>, Behold
<02009>,
thy maid <08198> [is] in thy hand <03027>; do <06213> to her as
it
pleaseth thee. And when Sarai <08297> dealt hardly <06031> with
her,
she fled <01272> from her face <06440>.
7. And the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> found <04672> her
by a
fountain <05869> of water <04325> in the wilderness <04057>, by
the
fountain <05869> in the way <01870> to Shur <07793>.
8 And he said <0559>, Hagar <01904>, Sarai's <08297> maid
<08198>,
whence <0335> camest <0935> thou? and whither <0575> wilt thou go
<03212>? And she said <0559>, I flee <01272> from the face
<06440>
of my mistress <01404> Sarai <08297>.
9 And the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto
her,
Return <07725> to thy mistress <01404>, and submit <06031>
thyself
under <08478> her hands <03027>.
10. And the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto
her,
I will multiply <07235> thy seed <02233> exceedingly <07235>,
that
it shall not be numbered <05608> for multitude <07230>.
11 And the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto
her,
Behold <02009>, thou [art] with child <02030>, and shalt bear
<03205> a son <01121>, and shalt call <07121> his name <08034>
Ishmael <03458>; because <03588> the LORD <03068> hath heard
<08085>
thy affliction <06040>.
12 And he will be a wild <06501> man <0120>; his hand <03027>
[will be] against every <03605> man, and every <03605> man's
<0376>
hand <03027> against him; and he shall dwell <07931> in the
presence
<06440> of all <03605> his brethren <0251>.
13 And she called <07121> the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>
that spake <01696> unto her, Thou God <0410> seest <07210> me:
for
she said <0559>, Have I also <01571> here <01988> looked <07200>
after <0310> him that seeth <07210> me?
14 Wherefore the well <0875> was called <07121> Beerlahairoi
<0883>; behold <02009>, [it is] between <0996> Kadesh <06946> and
Bered <01260>.
15. And Hagar <01904> bare <03205> Abram <087> a son <01121>:
and
Abram <087> called <07121> his son's <01121> name <08034>, which
<0834> Hagar <01904> bare <03205>, Ishmael <03458>.
16 And Abram <087> [was] fourscore <08084> and six <08337>
years
<08141> old <01121>, when Hagar <01904> bare <03205> Ishmael
<03458>
to Abram <087>.
Genesis 17
1. And when <01961> Abram <087> was ninety <08673> years <08141>
old <01121> and nine <08672>, the LORD <03068> appeared <07200>
to
Abram <087>, and said <0559> unto him, I [am] the Almighty
<07706>
God <0410>; walk <01980> before <06440> me, and be thou perfect
<08549>.
2 And I will make <05414> my covenant <01285> between <0996> me
and thee, and will multiply <07235> thee exceedingly <03966>.
3 And Abram <087> fell <05307> on <05921> his face <06440>: and
God <0430> talked <01696> with him, saying <0559>,
4. As for me, behold <02009>, my covenant <01285> [is] with
thee,
and thou shalt be a father <01> of many <01995> nations <01471>.
5 Neither <03808> shall thy name <08034> any <05750> more
<05750>
be called <07121> Abram <087>, but thy name <08034> shall be
Abraham
<085>; for a father <01> of many <01995> nations <01471> have I
made
<05414> thee.
6 And I will make thee exceeding <03966> fruitful <06509>, and
I
will make <05414> nations <01471> of thee, and kings <04428>
shall
come <03318> out of thee.
7. And I will establish <06965> my covenant <01285> between
<0996>
me and thee and thy seed <02233> after <0310> thee in their
generations <01755> for an everlasting <05769> covenant <01285>,
to
be a God <0430> unto thee, and to thy seed <02233> after <0310>
thee.
8 And I will give <05414> unto thee, and to thy seed <02233>
after
<0310> thee, the land <0776> wherein thou art a stranger <04033>,
all <03605> the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, for an everlasting
<05769> possession <0272>; and I will be their God <0430>.
9 And God <0430> said <0559> unto Abraham <085>, Thou shalt
keep
<08104> my covenant <01285> therefore, thou, and thy seed <02233>
after <0310> thee in their generations <01755>.
10 This <02063> [is] my covenant <01285>, which <0834> ye shall
keep <08104>, between <0996> me and you and thy seed <02233>
after
<0310> thee; Every <03605> man <02145> child among you shall be
circumcised <04135>.
11 And ye shall circumcise <05243> the flesh <01320> of your
foreskin <06190>; and it shall be a token <0226> of the covenant
<01285> betwixt <0996> me and you.
12 And he that is eight <08083> days <03117> old <01121> shall
be
circumcised <04135> among you, every <03605> man <02145> child in
your generations <01755>, he that is born <03211> in the house
<01004>, or bought <04736> with money <03701> of any <03605>
stranger, which <0834> [is] not of thy seed <02233>.
13 He that is born <03211> in thy house <01004>, and he that is
bought <04736> with thy money <03701>, must needs be circumcised
<04135>: and my covenant <01285> shall be in your flesh <01320>
for
an everlasting <05769> covenant <01285>.
14 And the uncircumcised <06189> man <02145> child whose <0834>
flesh <01320> of his foreskin <06190> is not circumcised <04135>,
that soul <05315> shall be cut <03772> off from his people
<05971>;
he hath broken <06565> my covenant <01285>.
15. And God <0430> said <0559> unto Abraham <085>, As for Sarai
<08297> thy wife <0802>, thou shalt not call <07121> her name
<08034> Sarai <08297>, but Sarah <08283> [shall] her name <08034>
[be].
16 And I will bless <01288> her, and give <05414> thee a son
<01121> also <01571> of her: yea, I will bless <01288> her, and
she
shall be [a mother] of nations <01471>; kings <04428> of people
<05971> shall be of her.
17 Then Abraham <085> fell <05307> upon his face <06440>, and
laughed <06711>, and said <0559> in his heart <03820>, Shall [a
child] be born <03205> unto him that is an hundred <03967> years
<08141> old <01121>? and shall Sarah <08283>, that is ninety
<08673>
years <08141> old <01323>, bear <03205>?
18 And Abraham <085> said <0559> unto God <0430>, O that
Ishmael
<03458> might live <02421> before <06440> thee!
19 And God <0430> said <0559>, Sarah <08283> thy wife <0802>
shall
bear <03205> thee a son <01121> indeed <061>; and thou shalt call
<07121> his name <08034> Isaac <03327>: and I will establish
<06965>
my covenant <01285> with him for an everlasting <05769> covenant
<01285>, [and] with his seed <02233> after <0310> him.
20 And as for Ishmael <03458>, I have heard <08085> thee:
Behold
<02009>, I have blessed <01288> him, and will make him fruitful
<06509>, and will multiply <07235> him exceedingly <03966>;
twelve
princes <05387> shall he beget <03205>, and I will make <05414>
him
a great <01419> nation <01471>.
21 But my covenant <01285> will I establish <06965> with Isaac
<03327>, which <0834> Sarah <08283> shall bear <03205> unto thee
at
this <02088> set <04150> time in the next <0312> year <08141>.
22 And he left <03615> off talking <01696> with him, and God
<0430> went <05927> up from Abraham <085>.
23. And Abraham <085> took <03947> Ishmael <03458> his son
<01121>,
and all <03605> that were born <03211> in his house <01004>, and
all
<03605> that were bought <04736> with his money <03701>, every
<03605> male <02145> among the men <0582> of Abraham's <085>
house
<01004>; and circumcised <04135> the flesh <01320> of their
foreskin
<06190> in the selfsame day <03117>, as God <0430> had said
<01696>
unto him.
24 And Abraham <085> [was] ninety <08673> years <08141> old
<01121> and nine <08672>, when he was circumcised <04135> in the
flesh <01320> of his foreskin <06190>.
25 And Ishmael <03458> his son <01121> [was] thirteen years
<08141> old <01121>, when he was circumcised <04135> in the flesh
<01320> of his foreskin <06190>.
26 In the selfsame day <03117> was Abraham <085> circumcised
<04135>, and Ishmael <03458> his son <01121>.
27 And all <03605> the men <0582> of his house <01004>, born
<03211> in the house <01004>, and bought <04736> with money
<03701>
of the stranger, were circumcised <04135> with him.
Genesis 18
1. And the LORD <03068> appeared <07200> unto him in the plains
<0436> of Mamre <04471>: and he sat <03427> in the tent <0168>
door
<06607> in the heat <02527> of the day <03117>;
2 And he lift <05375> up his eyes <05869> and looked <07200>,
and,
lo <02009>, three <07969> men <0582> stood <05324> by him: and
when
he saw <07200> [them], he ran <07323> to meet <07125> them from
the
tent <0168> door <06607>, and bowed <07812> himself toward the
ground <0776>,
3 And said <0559>, My Lord <0136>, if <0518> now <04994> I have
found <04672> favour <02580> in thy sight <05869>, pass <05674>
not
away, I pray <04994> thee, from thy servant <05650>:
4 Let a little <04592> water <04325>, I pray <04994> you, be
fetched <03947>, and wash <07364> your feet <07272>, and rest
<08172> yourselves under <08478> the tree <06086>:
5 And I will fetch <03947> a morsel <06595> of bread <03899>,
and
comfort <05582> ye your hearts <03820>; after <0310> that ye
shall
pass <05674> on: for therefore are ye come <05674> to your
servant
<05650>. And they said <01696>, So <03651> do <06213>, as thou
hast
said <0559>.
6 And Abraham <085> hastened <04116> into the tent <0168> unto
Sarah <08283>, and said <0559>, Make ready <04116> quickly
<04116>
three <07969> measures <05429> of fine meal, knead <03888> [it],
and
make <06213> cakes <05692> upon the hearth.
7 And Abraham <085> ran <07323> unto the herd <01241>, and
fetcht
<03947> a calf tender <07390> and good <02896>, and gave <05414>
[it] unto a young <05288> man; and he hasted <04116> to dress
<06213> it.
8 And he took <03947> butter <02529>, and milk <02461>, and the
calf which <0834> he had dressed <06213>, and set <05414> [it]
before <06440> them; and he stood <05975> by them under <08478>
the
tree <06086>, and they did eat <0398>.
9. And they said <0559> unto him, Where <0346> [is] Sarah
<08283>
thy wife <0802>? And he said <0559>, Behold <02009>, in the tent
<0168>.
10 And he said <0559>, I will certainly return <07725> unto
thee
according to the time <06256> of life <02416>; and, lo <02009>,
Sarah <08283> thy wife <0802> shall have a son <01121>. And Sarah
<08283> heard <08085> [it] in the tent <0168> door <06607>, which
<01931> [was] behind <0310> him.
11 Now Abraham <085> and Sarah <08283> [were] old <02205> [and]
well stricken <0935> in age <03117>; [and] it ceased <02308> to
be
with Sarah <08283> after the manner <0734> of women <0802>.
12 Therefore Sarah <08283> laughed <06711> within <07130>
herself,
saying <0559>, After <0310> I am waxed old <04086> shall I have
pleasure <05730>, my lord <0113> being old <02204> also?
13 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Abraham <085>,
Wherefore
<04100> did Sarah <08283> laugh <06711>, saying <0559>, Shall I
of a
surety <0552> bear <03205> a child, which <0589> am old <02204>?
14 Is any thing <01697> too hard <06381> for the LORD <03068>?
At
the time appointed <04150> I will return <07725> unto thee,
according to the time <06256> of life <02416>, and Sarah <08283>
shall have a son <01121>.
15 Then Sarah <08283> denied <03584>, saying <0559>, I laughed
<06711> not; for she was afraid <03372>. And he said <0559>, Nay
<03808>; but thou didst laugh <06711>.
16. And the men <0582> rose <06965> up from thence <08033>, and
looked <08259> toward Sodom <05467>: and Abraham <085> went
<01980>
with them to bring <07971> them on the way <07971>.
17 And the LORD <03068> said <0559>, Shall I hide <03680> from
Abraham <085> that thing which <0834> I do <06213>;
18 Seeing that Abraham <085> shall surely become <01961> a
great
<01419> and mighty <06099> nation <01471>, and all <03605> the
nations <01471> of the earth <0776> shall be blessed <01288> in
him?
19 For I know <03045> him, that he will command <06680> his
children <01121> and his household <01004> after <0310> him, and
they shall keep <08104> the way <01870> of the LORD <03068>, to
do
<06213> justice <06666> and judgment <04941>; that the LORD
<03068>
may bring <0935> upon Abraham <085> that which <0834> he hath
spoken
<01696> of him.
20 And the LORD <03068> said <0559>, Because <03588> the cry
<02201> of Sodom <05467> and Gomorrah <06017> is great <07227>,
and
because <03588> their sin <02403> is very <03966> grievous
<03515>;
21 I will go <03381> down <03381> now <04994>, and see <07200>
whether they have done <06213> altogether <03617> according to
the
cry <06818> of it, which is come <0935> unto me; and if <0518>
not,
I will know <03045>.
22 And the men <0582> turned <06437> their faces from thence
<08033>, and went <03212> toward Sodom <05467>: but Abraham <085>
stood <05975> yet <05750> before <06440> the LORD <03068>.
23. And Abraham <085> drew near <05066>, and said <0559>, Wilt
thou
also <0637> destroy <05595> the righteous <06662> with the wicked
<07563>?
24 Peradventure <0194> there be fifty <02572> righteous <06662>
within <08432> the city <05892>: wilt thou also <0637> destroy
<05595> and not spare <05375> the place <04725> for the fifty
<02572> righteous <06662> that [are] therein <07130>?
25 That be far <02486> from thee to do <06213> after this
<02088>
manner <01697>, to slay <04191> the righteous <06662> with the
wicked <07563>: and that the righteous <06662> should be as the
wicked <07563>, that be far <02486> from thee: Shall not the
Judge
<08199> of all <03605> the earth <0776> do <06213> right <04941>?
26 And the LORD <03068> said <0559>, If <0518> I find <04672>
in
Sodom <05467> fifty <02572> righteous <06662> within <08432> the
city <05892>, then I will spare <05375> all <03605> the place
<04725> for their sakes <05668>.
27 And Abraham <085> answered <06030> and said <0559>, Behold
<02009> now <04994>, I have taken <02974> upon me to speak
<01696>
unto the Lord <0136>, which <0595> [am but] dust <06083> and
ashes
<0665>:
28 Peradventure <0194> there shall lack <02637> five <02568> of
the fifty <02572> righteous <06662>: wilt thou destroy <07843>
all
<03605> the city <05892> for [lack of] five <02568>? And he said
<0559>, If <0518> I find <04672> there <08033> forty <0705> and
five
<02568>, I will not destroy <07843> [it].
29 And he spake <01696> unto him yet <05750> again <03254>, and
said <0559>, Peradventure <0194> there shall be forty <0705>
found
<04672> there. And he said <0559>, I will not do <06213> [it] for
forty's <0705> sake <05668>.
30 And he said <0559> [unto him], Oh <04994> let not the Lord
<0136> be angry <02734>, and I will speak <01696>: Peradventure
<0194> there <08033> shall thirty <07970> be found <04672> there
<08033>. And he said <0559>, I will not do <06213> [it], if
<0518> I
find <04672> thirty <07970> there <08033>.
31 And he said <0559>, Behold <02009> now <04994>, I have taken
<02974> upon me to speak <01696> unto the Lord <0136>:
Peradventure
<0194> there <08033> shall be twenty <06242> found <04672> there
<08033>. And he said <0559>, I will not destroy <07843> [it] for
twenty's <06242> sake <05668>.
32 And he said <0559>, Oh <04994> let not the Lord <0136> be
angry
<02734>, and I will speak <01696> yet <0389> but this <06471>
once
<06471>: Peradventure <0194> ten <06235> shall be found <04672>
there <08033>. And he said <0559>, I will not destroy <07843>
[it]
for ten's <06235> sake <05668>.
33 And the LORD <03068> went <03212> his way <03212>, as soon
<0834> as he had left <03615> communing <01696> with Abraham
<085>:
and Abraham <085> returned <07725> unto his place <04725>.
Genesis 19
1. And there came <0935> two <08147> angels <04397> to Sodom
<05467> at even <06153>; and Lot <03876> sat <03427> in the gate
<08179> of Sodom <05467>: and Lot <03876> seeing <07200> [them]
rose
<06965> up to meet <07125> them; and he bowed <07812> himself
with
his face <0639> toward the ground <0776>;
2 And he said <0559>, Behold <02009> now <04994>, my lords
<0113>,
turn <05493> in, I pray <04994> you, into <0413> your servant's
<05650> house <01004>, and tarry <03885> all <03885> night, and
wash
<07364> your feet <07272>, and ye shall rise <07925> up early
<07925>, and go <01980> on your ways <01870>. And they said
<0559>,
Nay; but we will abide <03885> in the street <07339> all <03885>
night.
3 And he pressed <06484> upon them greatly <03966>; and they
turned <05493> in unto him, and entered <0935> into <0413> his
house
<01004>; and he made <06213> them a feast <04960>, and did bake
<0644> unleavened <04682> bread, and they did eat <0398>.
4. But before <02962> they lay <07901> down, the men <0582> of
the
city <05892>, [even] the men <0582> of Sodom <05467>, compassed
<05437> the house <01004> round <05921>, both old <02205> and
young
<05288>, all <03605> the people <05971> from every quarter
<07098>:
5 And they called <07121> unto Lot <03876>, and said <0559>
unto
him, Where <0346> [are] the men <0582> which <0834> came <0935>
in
to thee this night <03915>? bring <03318> them out unto us, that
we
may know <03045> them.
6 And Lot <03876> went <03318> out at the door <06607> unto
them,
and shut <05462> the door <01817> after <0310> him,
7 And said <0559>, I pray <04994> you, brethren <0251>, do not
so
wickedly <07489>.
8 Behold <02009> now <04994>, I have two <08147> daughters
<01363>
which <0834> have not known <03045> man <0376>; let me, I pray
<04994> you, bring <03318> them out unto you, and do <06213> ye
to
them as [is] good <02896> in your eyes <05869>: only unto these
<0428> men <0582> do <06213> nothing; for therefore came <0935>
they
under the shadow <06738> of my roof <06982>.
9 And they said <0559>, Stand <05066> back <01973>. And they
said
<0559> [again], This one <0259> [fellow <07453>] came <0935> in
to
sojourn <01481>, and he will needs be a judge <08199>: now
<06288>
will we deal worse <07489> with thee, than with them. And they
pressed <06484> sore <03966> upon the man <0376>, [even] Lot
<03876>, and came <05066> near <05066> to break <07665> the door
<01817>.
10 But the men <0582> put <07971> forth <07971> their hand
<03027>, and pulled <0935> Lot <03876> into the house <01004> to
them, and shut <05462> to the door <01817>.
11 And they smote <05221> the men <0582> that [were] at the
door
<06607> of the house <01004> with blindness <05575>, both small
<06996> and great <01419>: so that they wearied <03811>
themselves
to find <04672> the door <06607>.
12. And the men <0582> said <0559> unto Lot <03876>, Hast thou
here
<06311> any <04310> besides <05750>? son <01121> in law <02859>,
and
thy sons <01121>, and thy daughters <01363>, and whatsoever thou
hast in the city <05892>, bring <03318> [them] out of this place
<04725>:
13 For we will destroy <07843> this <02088> place <04725>,
because
<03588> the cry <06818> of them is waxen great <01431> before
<0854>
the face <06440> of the LORD <03068>; and the LORD <03068> hath
sent
<07971> us to destroy <07843> it.
14 And Lot <03876> went <03318> out, and spake <01696> unto his
sons <02860> in law <02859>, which married <03947> his daughters
<01363>, and said <0559>, Up, get <03318> you out of this <02088>
place <04725>; for the LORD <03068> will destroy <07843> this
city
<05892>. But he seemed as one that mocked <06711> unto his sons
<02860> in law <02859>.
15. And when <03644> the morning <07837> arose <05927>, then the
angels <04397> hastened <0213> Lot <03876>, saying <0559>, Arise
<06965>, take <03947> thy wife <0802>, and thy two <08147>
daughters
<01363>, which are here <04672>; lest <06435> thou be consumed
<05595> in the iniquity <05771> of the city <05892>.
16 And while he lingered <04102>, the men <0582> laid hold
<02388>
upon his hand <03027>, and upon the hand <03027> of his wife
<0802>,
and upon the hand <03027> of his two <08147> daughters <01363>;
the
LORD <03068> being merciful <02551> unto him: and they brought
<03318> him forth <03318>, and set <03240> him without <02351>
the
city <05892>.
17 And it came <01961> to pass, when they had brought <03318>
them
forth <03318> abroad <02351>, that he said <0559>, Escape <04422>
for thy life <05315>; look <05027> not behind <0310> thee,
neither
<0408> stay <05975> thou in all <03605> the plain <03603>; escape
<04422> to the mountain <02022>, lest <06435> thou be consumed
<05595>.
18 And Lot <03876> said <0559> unto them, Oh <04994>, not so,
my
Lord <0113>:
19 Behold <02009> now <04994>, thy servant <05650> hath found
<04672> grace <02580> in thy sight <05869>, and thou hast
magnified
<01431> thy mercy <02617>, which <0834> thou hast shewed <06213>
unto me in saving <02421> my life <05315>; and I cannot escape
<04422> to the mountain <02022>, lest <06435> some evil <07451>
take
<01692> me, and I die <04191>:
20 Behold <02009> now <04994>, this <02063> city <05892> [is]
near
<07138> to flee <05127> unto, and it [is] a little <04705> one:
Oh
<04994>, let me escape <04422> thither, ([is] it not a little
<04705> one?) and my soul <05315> shall live <02421>.
21 And he said <0559> unto him, See <02009>, I have accepted
<05375> thee concerning this <02088> thing <01697> also <01571>,
that I will not overthrow <02015> this city <05892>, for the
which
<0834> thou hast spoken <01696>.
22 Haste <04116> thee, escape <04422> thither; for I cannot do
<06213> any thing till <05704> thou be come <0935> thither.
Therefore the name <08034> of the city <05892> was called <07121>
Zoar <06820>.
23 The sun <08121> was risen <03318> upon the earth <0776> when
Lot <03876> entered <0935> into Zoar <06820>.
24. Then the LORD <03068> rained <04305> upon Sodom <05467> and
upon Gomorrah <06017> brimstone <01614> and fire <0784> from the
LORD <03068> out of heaven <08064>;
25 And he overthrew <02015> those <0411> cities <05892>, and
all
<03605> the plain <03603>, and all <03605> the inhabitants
<03427>
of the cities <05892>, and that which grew <06780> upon the
ground
<0127>.
26. But his wife <0802> looked <05027> back from behind <0310>
him,
and she became <01961> a pillar <05333> of salt <04417>.
27. And Abraham <085> gat up early <07925> in the morning
<01242>
to the place <04725> where <0834> he stood <05975> before the
LORD
<03068>:
28 And he looked <08259> toward Sodom <05467> and Gomorrah
<06017>, and toward all <03605> the land <0776> of the plain
<03603>, and beheld <07200>, and, lo <02009>, the smoke <07008>
of
the country <0776> went <05927> up as the smoke <07008> of a
furnace
<03536>.
29 And it came <01961> to pass, when God <0430> destroyed
<07843>
the cities <05892> of the plain <03603>, that God <0430>
remembered
<02142> Abraham <085>, and sent <07971> Lot <03876> out of the
midst
<08432> of the overthrow <02018>, when he overthrew <02015> the
cities <05892> in the which <0834> Lot <03876> dwelt <03427>.
30. And Lot <03876> went <05927> up out of Zoar <06820>, and
dwelt
<03427> in the mountain <02022>, and his two <08147> daughters
<01363> with him; for he feared <03372> to dwell <03418> in Zoar
<06820>: and he dwelt <03427> in a cave <04631>, he and his two
<08147> daughters <01363>.
31 And the firstborn <01067> said <0559> unto the younger
<06810>,
Our father <01> [is] old <02204>, and [there is] not a man
<0376> in
the earth <0776> to come <0935> in unto us after the manner
<01870>
of all <03605> the earth <0776>:
32 Come <03212>, let us make our father <01> drink <08248> wine
<03196>, and we will lie <07901> with him, that we may preserve
<02421> seed <02233> of our father <01>.
33 And they made their father <01> drink <08248> wine <03196>
that
night <03915>: and the firstborn <01067> went <0935> in, and lay
<07901> with her father <01>; and he perceived <03045> not when
she
lay <07901> down, nor when she arose <06965>.
34 And it came <01961> to pass on the morrow <04283>, that the
firstborn <01067> said <0559> unto the younger <06810>, Behold
<02005>, I lay <07901> yesternight <0570> with my father <01>:
let
us make him drink <08248> wine <03196> this night <03915> also
<01571>; and go <0935> thou in, [and] lie <07901> with him, that
we
may preserve <02421> seed <02233> of our father <01>.
35 And they made their father <01> drink <08248> wine <03196>
that
night <03915> also <01571>: and the younger <06810> arose
<06965>,
and lay <07901> with him; and he perceived <03045> not when she
lay
<07901> down, nor when she arose <06965>.
36 Thus were both <08147> the daughters <01363> of Lot <03876>
with child <02029> by their father <01>.
37 And the firstborn <01067> bare <03205> a son <01121>, and
called <07121> his name <08034> Moab <04124>: the same <01931>
[is]
the father <01> of the Moabites <04124> unto this day <03117>.
38 And the younger <06810>, she also <01571> bare <03205> a son
<01121>, and called <07121> his name <08034> Benammi <01151>: the
same <01931> [is] the father <01> of the children <01121> of
Ammon
<05983> unto this day <03117>.
Genesis 20
1. And Abraham <085> journeyed <05265> from thence <08033>
toward
the south <05045> country <0776>, and dwelled <03427> between
<0996>
Kadesh <06946> and Shur <07793>, and sojourned <01481> in Gerar
<01642>.
2 And Abraham <085> said <0559> of Sarah <08283> his wife
<0802>,
She [is] my sister <0269>: and Abimelech <040> king <04428> of
Gerar
<01642> sent <07971>, and took <03947> Sarah <08283>.
3. But God <0430> came <0935> to Abimelech <040> in a dream
<02472>
by night <03915>, and said <0559> to him, Behold <02009>, thou
[art
but] a dead <04191> man <0376>, for the woman <0802> which <0834>
thou hast taken <03947>; for she [is] a man's <01167> wife
<01166>.
4 But Abimelech <040> had not come <07126> near <07126> her:
and
he said <0559>, Lord <0136>, wilt thou slay <02026> also <01571>
a
righteous <06662> nation <01471>?
5 Said <0559> he not unto me, She [is] my sister <0269>? and
she,
even <01571> she herself said <0559>, He [is] my brother <0251>:
in
the integrity <08537> of my heart <03824> and innocency <05356>
of
my hands <03709> have I done <06213> this <02063>.
6 And God <0430> said <0559> unto him in a dream <02472>, Yea
<01571>, I know <03045> that thou didst <06213> this <02063> in
the
integrity <08537> of thy heart <03824>; for I also withheld
<02820>
thee from sinning <02398> against me: therefore suffered <05414>
I
thee not to touch <05060> her.
7 Now <06258> therefore restore <07725> the man <0376> [his]
wife
<0802>; for he [is] a prophet <05030>, and he shall pray <06419>
for
thee, and thou shalt live <02421>: and if <0518> thou restore
<07725> [her] not, know <03045> thou that thou shalt surely
<03588>
die <04191>, thou, and all <03605> that [are] thine.
8. Therefore Abimelech <040> rose <07925> early <07925> in the
morning <01242>, and called <07121> all <03605> his servants
<05650>, and told <01696> all <03605> these <0428> things
<01697> in
their ears <0241>: and the men <0582> were sore <03966> afraid
<03372>.
9 Then Abimelech <040> called <07121> Abraham <085>, and said
<0559> unto him, What <04100> hast thou done <06213> unto us? and
what <04100> have I offended <02398> thee, that thou hast brought
<0935> on <05921> me and on <05921> my kingdom <04467> a great
<01419> sin <02401>? thou hast done <06213> deeds <04639> unto me
that ought <03972> not to be done <06213>.
10 And Abimelech <040> said <0559> unto Abraham <085>, What
<04100> sawest <07200> thou, that thou hast done <06213> this
<02088> thing <01697>?
11 And Abraham <085> said <0559>, Because <03588> I thought
<0559>, Surely <07535> the fear <03374> of God <0430> [is] not in
this <02088> place <04725>; and they will slay <02026> me for my
wife's <0802> sake <01697>.
12 And yet <01571> indeed <0546> [she is] my sister <0269>; she
[is] the daughter <01323> of my father <01>, but not the daughter
<01323> of my mother <0517>; and she became <01961> my wife
<0802>.
13 And it came <01961> to pass, when <0834> God <0430> caused
me
to wander <08582> from my father's <01> house <01004>, that I
said
<0559> unto her, This <02088> [is] thy kindness <02617> which
<0834>
thou shalt shew <06213> unto me; at <0413> every <03605> place
<04725> whither we shall come <0935>, say <0559> of me, He [is]
my
brother <0251>.
14. And Abimelech <040> took <03947> sheep <06629>, and oxen
<01241>, and menservants <05650>, and womenservants <08198>, and
gave <05414> [them] unto Abraham <085>, and restored <07725> him
Sarah <08283> his wife <0802>.
15 And Abimelech <040> said <0559>, Behold <02009>, my land
<0776>
[is] before <06440> thee: dwell <03418> where it pleaseth thee.
16 And unto Sarah <08283> he said <0559>, Behold <02009>, I
have
given <05414> thy brother <0251> a thousand <0505> [pieces] of
silver <03701>: behold <02009>, he [is] to thee a covering
<03682>
of the eyes <05869>, unto all <03605> that [are] with thee, and
with
all <03605> [other]: thus she was reproved <03198>.
17 So Abraham <085> prayed <06419> unto God <0430>: and God
<0430>
healed <07495> Abimelech <040>, and his wife <0802>, and his
maidservants <0519>; and they bare <03205> [children].
18 For the LORD <03068> had fast closed <06113> up all <03605>
the
wombs <07358> of the house <01004> of Abimelech <040>, because of
Sarah <08283> Abraham's <085> wife <0802>.
Genesis 21
1. And the LORD <03068> visited <06485> Sarah <08283> as he had
said <0559>, and the LORD <03068> did <06213> unto Sarah <08283>
as
he had spoken <01696>.
2 For Sarah <08283> conceived <02030>, and bare <03205> Abraham
<085> a son <01121> in his old <02208> age, at the set <04150>
time
of which <0834> God <0430> had spoken <01696> to him.
3 And Abraham <085> called <07121> the name <08034> of his son
<01121> that was born <03205> unto him, whom <0834> Sarah <08283>
bare <03205> to him, Isaac <03327>.
4 And Abraham <085> circumcised <04135> his son <01121> Isaac
<03327> being eight <08083> days <03117> old <01121>, as God
<0430>
had commanded <06680> him.
5 And Abraham <085> was an hundred <03967> years <08141> old
<01121>, when his son <01121> Isaac <03327> was born <03205> unto
him.
6 And Sarah <08283> said <0559>, God <0430> hath made me to
laugh
<06712>, [so that] all <03605> that hear <08085> will laugh
<06711>
with me.
7 And she said <0559>, Who <04310> would have said <04448> unto
Abraham <085>, that Sarah <08283> should have given children
<01121>
suck <03243>? for I have born <03205> [him] a son <01121> in his
old
<02208> age.
8 And the child <03206> grew <01431>, and was weaned <01580>:
and
Abraham <085> made <06213> a great <01419> feast <04960> the
[same]
day <03117> that Isaac <03327> was weaned <01580>.
9. And Sarah <08283> saw <07200> the son <01121> of Hagar
<01904>
the Egyptian <04713>, which <0834> she had born <03205> unto
Abraham
<085>, mocking <06711>.
10 Wherefore she said <0559> unto Abraham <085>, Cast <01644>
out
this <02063> bondwoman <0519> and her son <01121>: for the son
<01121> of this <02063> bondwoman <0519> shall not be heir
<03423>
with my son, [even] with Isaac <03327>.
11 And the thing <01697> was very <03966> grievous <07489> in
Abraham's <085> sight <05869> because of his son <01121>.
12 And God <0430> said <0559> unto Abraham <085>, Let it not be
grievous <07489> in thy sight <05869> because <05921> of the lad
<05288>, and because <05921> of thy bondwoman <0519>; in all
<03605>
that Sarah <08283> hath said <0559> unto thee, hearken <08085>
unto
her voice <06963>; for in Isaac <03327> shall thy seed <02233> be
called <07121>.
13 And also of the son <01121> of the bondwoman <0519> will I
make
<07760> a nation <01471>, because <03588> he [is] thy seed
<02233>.
14. And Abraham <085> rose <07925> up early <07925> in the
morning
<01242>, and took <03947> bread <03899>, and a bottle <02573> of
water <04325>, and gave <05414> [it] unto Hagar <01904>, putting
<07760> [it] on <05921> her shoulder <07926>, and the child
<03206>,
and sent <07971> her away: and she departed <03212>, and wandered
<08582> in the wilderness <04057> of Beersheba <0884>.
15 And the water <04325> was spent <03615> in the bottle
<02573>,
and she cast <07993> the child <03206> under <08478> one <0259>
of
the shrubs <07880>.
16 And she went <03212>, and sat <03427> her down over <05048>
against <05048> [him] a good <07368> way off, as it were a
bowshot:
for <07198> she said <0559>, Let me not see <07200> the death
<04194> of the child <03206>. And she sat <03427> over <05048>
against <05048> [him], and lift <05375> up her voice <06963>, and
wept <01058>.
17 And God <0430> heard <08085> the voice <06963> of the lad
<05288>; and the angel <04397> of God <0430> called <07121> to
Hagar
<01904> out of heaven <08064>, and said <0559> unto her, What
<04100> aileth thee, Hagar <01904>? fear <03372> not; for God
<0430>
hath heard <08085> the voice <06963> of the lad <05288> where
<0834>
he [is].
18 Arise <06965>, lift <05375> up the lad <05288>, and hold
<02388> him in thine hand <03027>; for I will make <07760> him a
great <01419> nation <01471>.
19 And God <0430> opened <06491> her eyes <05869>, and she saw
<07200> a well <0875> of water <04325>; and she went <03212>, and
filled <04390> the bottle <02573> with water <04325>, and gave
the
lad <05288> drink <08248>.
20 And God <0430> was with the lad <05288>; and he grew
<01431>,
and dwelt <03427> in the wilderness <04057>, and became <01961>
an
archer <07198>.
21 And he dwelt <03427> in the wilderness <04057> of Paran
<06290>: and his mother <0517> took <03947> him a wife <0802>
out of
the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.
22. And it came <01961> to pass at that time <06256>, that
Abimelech <040> and Phichol <06369> the chief captain <08269> of
his
host <06635> spake <0559> unto Abraham <085>, saying <0559>, God
<0430> [is] with thee in all <03605> that thou doest <06213>:
23 Now <06258> therefore swear <07650> unto me here <02008> by
God
<0430> that thou wilt not deal falsely <08266> with me, nor with
my
son <05220>, nor with my son's <05220> son <05220>: [but]
according
to the kindness <02617> that I have done <06213> unto thee, thou
shalt do <06213> unto me, and to the land <0776> wherein <0834>
thou
hast sojourned <01481>.
24 And Abraham <085> said <0559>, I will swear <07650>.
25 And Abraham <085> reproved <03198> Abimelech <040> because
of a
well <0875> of water <04325>, which <0834> Abimelech's <040>
servants <05650> had violently <01497> taken <01497> away.
26 And Abimelech <040> said <0559>, I wot <03045> not who
<04310>
hath done <06213> this <02088> thing <01697>: neither <03808>
didst
thou tell <05046> me, neither <03808> yet <01571> heard <08085> I
[of it], but to day <03117>.
27 And Abraham <085> took <03947> sheep <06629> and oxen
<01241>,
and gave <05414> them unto Abimelech <040>; and both <08147> of
them
made <03772> a covenant <01285>.
28 And Abraham <085> set <05324> seven <07651> ewe <03535>
lambs
<03535> of the flock <06629> by themselves.
29 And Abimelech <040> said <0559> unto Abraham <085>, What
<04100> [mean] these seven <07651> ewe <03535> lambs <03535>
which
<0834> thou hast set <05324> by themselves?
30 And he said <0559>, For [these] seven <07651> ewe <03535>
lambs
<03535> shalt thou take <03947> of my hand <03027>, that they
may be
a witness <05713> unto me, that I have digged <02658> this well
<0875>.
31 Wherefore <04100> he called <07121> that place <04725>
Beersheba <0884>; because <03588> there <08033> they sware
<07650>
both <08147> of them.
32 Thus <03541> they made <03772> a covenant <01285> at
Beersheba
<0884>: then Abimelech <040> rose <06965> up, and Phichol <06369>
the chief captain <08269> of his host <06635>, and they returned
<07725> into <0413> the land <0776> of the Philistines <06430>.
33. And [Abraham] planted <05193> a grove <0815> in Beersheba
<0884>, and called <07121> there <08033> on the name <08034> of
the
LORD <03068>, the everlasting <05769> God <0410>.
34 And Abraham <085> sojourned <01481> in the Philistines
<06430>'
land <0776> many <07227> days <03117>.
Genesis 22
1. And it came <01961> to pass after <0310> these things
<01697>,
that God <0430> did tempt <05254> Abraham <085>, and said <0559>
unto him, Abraham <085>: and he said <0559>, Behold <02009>,
[here]
I [am].
2 And he said <0559>, Take <03947> now <04994> thy son <01121>,
thine only <03173> [son] Isaac <03327>, whom <0834> thou lovest
<0157>, and get <03212> thee into <0413> the land <0776> of
Moriah
<04179>; and offer <05927> him there <08033> for a burnt <05930>
offering upon one <0259> of the mountains <02022> which <0834> I
will tell <0559> thee of.
3. And Abraham <085> rose <07925> up early <07925> in the
morning
<01242>, and saddled <02280> his ass <02543>, and took <03947>
two
<08147> of his young <05288> men with him, and Isaac <03327> his
son
<01121>, and clave <01234> the wood <06086> for the burnt <05930>
offering, and rose <06965> up, and went <03212> unto the place
<04725> of which <0834> God <0430> had told <0559> him.
4 Then on the third <07992> day <03117> Abraham <085> lifted
<05375> up his eyes <05869>, and saw <07200> the place <04725>
afar
<07350> off.
5 And Abraham <085> said <0559> unto his young <05288> men,
Abide
<03427> ye here <06311> with the ass <02543>; and I and the lad
<05288> will go <03212> yonder <03541> and worship <07812>, and
come
<07725> again <07725> to you.
6 And Abraham <085> took <03947> the wood <06086> of the burnt
<05930> offering, and laid <07760> [it] upon Isaac <03327> his
son
<01121>; and he took <03947> the fire <0784> in his hand <03027>,
and a knife <03979>; and they went <03212> both <08147> of them
together <03162>.
7 And Isaac <03327> spake <0559> unto Abraham <085> his father
<01>, and said <0559>, My father <01>: and he said <0559>, Here
<02009> [am] I, my son <01121>. And he said <0559>, Behold
<02009>
the fire <0784> and the wood <06086>: but where <0834> [is] the
lamb
<07716> for a burnt <05930> offering?
8 And Abraham <085> said <0559>, My son <01121>, God <0430>
will
provide <07200> himself a lamb <07716> for a burnt <05930>
offering:
so they went <03212> both <08147> of them together <03162>.
9 And they came <0935> to the place <04725> which <0834> God
<0430> had told <0559> him of; and Abraham <085> built <01129> an
altar <04196> there <08033>, and laid the wood <06086> in order,
and
bound <06123> Isaac <03327> his son <01121>, and laid <07760>
him on
<05921> the altar <04196> upon the wood <06086>.
10 And Abraham <085> stretched <07971> forth his hand <03027>,
and
took <03947> the knife <03979> to slay <07819> his son <01121>.
11. And the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> called <07121>
unto
him out of heaven <08064>, and said <0559>, Abraham <085>,
Abraham
<085>: and he said <0559>, Here <02009> [am] I.
12 And he said <0559>, Lay <07971> not thine hand <03027> upon
the
lad <05288>, neither <0408> do <06213> thou any <03972> thing
unto
him: for now <06258> I know <03045> that thou fearest <03373> God
<0430>, seeing <07200> thou hast not withheld <02820> thy son
<01121>, thine only <03162> [son] from me.
13 And Abraham <085> lifted <05375> up his eyes <05869>, and
looked <07200>, and behold <02009> behind <0310> [him] a ram
<0352>
caught <0270> in a thicket <05442> by his horns <07161>: and
Abraham
<085> went <03212> and took <03947> the ram <0352>, and offered
<05927> him up for a burnt <05930> offering in the stead <08478>
of
his son <01121>.
14 And Abraham <085> called <07121> the name <08034> of that
place
<04725> Jehovahjireh <03070>: as it is said <0559> [to] this day
<03117>, In the mount <02022> of the LORD <03068> it shall be
seen
<07200>.
15. And the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> called <07121>
unto
Abraham <085> out of heaven <08064> the second <08145> time
<06256>,
16 And said <0559>, By myself have I sworn <07650>, saith
<05002>
the LORD <03068>, for because thou hast done <06213> this thing
<01697>, and hast not withheld <02820> thy son <01121>, thine
only
<03173> [son]:
17 That in blessing <01288> I will bless <01288> thee, and in
multiplying <07235> I will multiply <07235> thy seed <02233> as
the
stars <03556> of the heaven <08064>, and as the sand <02344>
which
<0834> [is] upon the sea <03220> shore <08193>; and thy seed
<02233>
shall possess <03423> the gate <08179> of his enemies <0341>;
18 And in thy seed <02233> shall all <03605> the nations
<01471>
of the earth <0776> be blessed <01288>; because thou hast obeyed
<08085> my voice <06963>.
19 So Abraham <085> returned <07725> unto his young <05288>
men,
and they rose <06965> up and went <03212> together <03162> to
Beersheba <0884>; and Abraham <085> dwelt <03427> at Beersheba
<0884>.
20. And it came <01961> to pass after <0310> these things
<01697>,
that it was told <05046> Abraham <085>, saying <0559>, Behold
<02009>, Milcah <04435>, she hath also born <03205> children
<01121>
unto thy brother <0251> Nahor <05152>;
21 Huz <05780> his firstborn <01060>, and Buz <0938> his
brother
<0251>, and Kemuel <07055> the father <01> of Aram <0758>,
22 And Chesed <03777>, and Hazo <02375>, and Pildash <06394>,
and
Jidlaph <03044>, and Bethuel <01328>.
23 And Bethuel <01328> begat <03205> Rebekah <07259>: these
eight
<08083> Milcah <04435> did bear <03205> to Nahor <05152>,
Abraham's
<085> brother <0251>.
24 And his concubine <06370>, whose name <08034> [was] Reumah
<07208>, she bare <03205> also Tebah <02875>, and Gaham <01514>,
and
Thahash <08477>, and Maachah <04601>.
Genesis 23
1. And Sarah <08283> was an hundred <03967> and seven <07651>
and
twenty <06242> years <08141> old <02416>: [these were] the years
<08141> of the life <02416> of Sarah <08283>.
2 And Sarah <08283> died <04191> in Kirjatharba <07153>; the
same
<01931> [is] Hebron <02275> in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>:
and Abraham <085> came <0935> to mourn <05594> for Sarah <08283>,
and to weep <01058> for her.
3. And Abraham <085> stood <06965> up from before his dead
<04191>,
and spake <01696> unto the sons <01121> of Heth <02845>, saying
<0559>,
4 I [am] a stranger <01616> and a sojourner <08453> with you:
give
<05414> me a possession <0272> of a buryingplace <06913> with
you,
that I may bury <06912> my dead <04191> out of my sight <06440>.
5 And the children <01121> of Heth <02845> answered <06030>
Abraham <085>, saying <0559> unto him,
6 Hear <08085> us, my lord <0113>: thou [art] a mighty <0430>
prince <05387> among <08432> us: in the choice <04005> of our
sepulchres <06913> bury <06912> thy dead <04191>; none of us
shall
withhold <03607> from thee his sepulchre <06913>, but that thou
mayest bury <06912> thy dead <04191>.
7 And Abraham <085> stood <06965> up, and bowed <07812>
himself to
the people <05971> of the land <0776>, [even] to the children
<01121> of Heth <02845>.
8 And he communed <01696> with them, saying <0559>, If it be
your
mind <05315> that I should bury <06912> my dead <04191> out of my
sight <06440>; hear <08085> me, and intreat <06293> for me to
Ephron
<06085> the son <01121> of Zohar <06714>,
9 That he may give <05414> me the cave <04631> of Machpelah
<04375>, which <0834> he hath, which <0834> [is] in the end
<07097>
of his field <07704>; for as much <07227> money <03701> as it is
worth <04392> he shall give <05414> it me for a possession
<0272> of
a buryingplace <06913> amongst <08432> you.
10 And Ephron <06085> dwelt <03427> among <08432> the children
<01121> of Heth <02845>: and Ephron <06085> the Hittite <02850>
answered <06030> Abraham <085> in the audience <0241> of the
children <01121> of Heth <02845>, [even] of all <03605> that went
<0935> in at the gate <08179> of his city <05892>, saying <0559>,
11 Nay <03808>, my lord <0113>, hear <08085> me: the field
<07704>
give <05414> I thee, and the cave <04631> that [is] therein, I
give
<05414> it thee; in the presence <05869> of the sons <01121> of
my
people <05971> give <05414> I it thee: bury <06912> thy dead
<04191>.
12 And Abraham <085> bowed <07812> down <07812> himself before
<06440> the people <05971> of the land <0776>.
13 And he spake <01696> unto Ephron <06085> in the audience
<0241>
of the people <05971> of the land <0776>, saying <0559>, But if
thou
[wilt give it], I pray <03863> thee, hear <08085> me: I will give
<05414> thee money <03701> for the field <07704>; take <03947>
[it]
of me, and I will bury <06912> my dead <04191> there <08033>.
14 And Ephron <06085> answered <06030> Abraham <085>, saying
<0559> unto him,
15 My lord <0113>, hearken <08085> unto me: the land <0776> [is
worth] four <0702> hundred <03967> shekels <08255> of silver
<03701>; what <04100> [is] that betwixt <0996> me and thee? bury
<06912> therefore thy dead <04191>.
16. And Abraham <085> hearkened <08085> unto Ephron <06085>; and
Abraham weighed <08254> to Ephron <06085> the silver <03701>,
which
<0834> he had named <01696> in the audience <0241> of the sons
<01121> of Heth <02845>, four <0702> hundred <03967> shekels
<08255>
of silver <03701>, current <05674> [money <03701>] with the
merchant.
17 And the field <07704> of Ephron <06085>, which <0834> [was]
in
Machpelah <04375>, which <0834> [was] before <06440> Mamre
<04471>,
the field <07704>, and the cave <04631> which <0834> [was]
therein,
and all <03605> the trees <06086> that [were] in the field
<07704>,
that [were] in all <03605> the borders <01366> round <05439>
about,
were made sure <06965>
18 Unto Abraham <085> for a possession <04736> in the presence
<05869> of the children <01121> of Heth <02845>, before <06440>
all
<03605> that went <0935> in at the gate <08179> of his city
<05892>.
19 And after <0310> this, Abraham <085> buried <06912> Sarah
<08283> his wife <0802> in the cave <04631> of the field <07704>
of
Machpelah <04375> before Mamre <04471>: the same <01931> [is]
Hebron
<02275> in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>.
20 And the field <07704>, and the cave <04631> that [is]
therein,
were made sure <06965> unto Abraham <085> for a possession
<0272> of
a buryingplace <06913> by the sons <01121> of Heth <02845>.
Genesis 24
1. And Abraham <085> was old <02204>, [and] well stricken
<0935> in
age <03117>: and the LORD <03068> had blessed <01288> Abraham
<085>
in all <03605> things.
2 And Abraham <085> said <0559> unto his eldest <02205> servant
<05650> of his house <01004>, that ruled <04910> over all <03605>
that he had, Put <07760>, I pray <04994> thee, thy hand <03027>
under <08478> my thigh <03409>:
3 And I will make thee swear <07650> by the LORD <03068>, the
God
<0430> of heaven <08064>, and the God <0430> of the earth <0776>,
that thou shalt not take <03947> a wife <0802> unto my son
<01121>
of the daughters <01363> of the Canaanites <03669>, among <07130>
whom <0834> I dwell <03418>:
4 But thou shalt go <03212> unto my country <0776>, and to my
kindred <04138>, and take <03947> a wife <0802> unto my son
<01121>
Isaac <03327>.
5 And the servant <05650> said <0559> unto him, Peradventure
<0194> the woman <0802> will not be willing <014> to follow me
unto
this land <0776>: must I needs bring <07725> thy son <01121>
again
<07725> unto the land <0776> from whence <0370> thou camest
<03318>?
6 And Abraham <085> said <0559> unto him, Beware <08104> thou
that
thou bring <07725> not my son <01121> thither again <07725>.
7 The LORD <03068> God <0430> of heaven <08064>, which <0834>
took
<03947> me from my father's <01> house <01004>, and from the land
<0776> of my kindred <04138>, and which <0834> spake <01696> unto
me, and that sware <07650> unto me, saying <0559>, Unto thy seed
<02233> will I give <05414> this land <0776>; he shall send
<07971>
his angel <04397> before <06440> thee, and thou shalt take
<03947> a
wife <0802> unto my son <01121> from thence <08033>.
8 And if the woman <0802> will not be willing <014> to follow
thee, then thou shalt be clear <05352> from this my oath <07621>:
only bring <07725> not my son <01121> thither <08033> again
<07725>.
9 And the servant <05650> put <07760> his hand <03027> under
<08478> the thigh <03409> of Abraham <085> his master <0113>, and
sware <07650> to him concerning <05921> that matter <01697>.
10. And the servant <05650> took <03947> ten <06235> camels
<01581>
of the camels <01581> of his master <0113>, and departed <03212>;
for all <03605> the goods <02898> of his master <0113> [were] in
his
hand <03027>: and he arose <06965>, and went <03212> to
Mesopotamia
<0763>, unto the city <05892> of Nahor <05152>.
11 And he made his camels <01581> to kneel <01288> down <01288>
without <02351> the city <05892> by a well <0875> of water
<04325>
at the time <06256> of the evening <06153>, [even] the time
<06256>
that women go <03318> out to draw <07579> [water].
12 And he said <0559>, O LORD <03068> God <0430> of my master
<0113> Abraham <085>, I pray <04994> thee, send <07136> me good
speed <07136> this day <03117>, and shew <06213> kindness <02617>
unto my master <0113> Abraham <085>.
13 Behold <02009>, I stand <05324> [here] by the well <05869>
of
water <04325>; and the daughters <01363> of the men <0582> of the
city <05892> come <03318> out to draw <07579> water <04325>:
14 And let it come <0935> to pass, that the damsel <05291> to
whom
<0834> I shall say <0559>, Let <05186> down <05186> thy pitcher
<03537>, I pray <04994> thee, that I may drink <08354>; and she
shall say <0559>, Drink <08354>, and I will give thy camels
<01581>
drink <08248> also: [let the same <01931> be] she [that] thou
hast
appointed <03198> for thy servant <05650> Isaac <03327>; and
thereby
<02004> shall I know <03045> that thou hast shewed <06213>
kindness
<02617> unto my master <0113>.
15 And it came <01961> to pass, before <06440> he had done
<03615>
speaking <01696>, that, behold <02009>, Rebekah <07259> came
<03318>
out, who <0834> was born <03205> to Bethuel <01328>, son <01121>
of
Milcah <04435>, the wife <0802> of Nahor <05152>, Abraham's <085>
brother <0251>, with her pitcher <03537> upon her shoulder
<07926>.
16 And the damsel <05291> [was] very <03966> fair <02896> to
look
<04758> upon, a virgin <01330>, neither <03808> had any man
<0376>
known <03045> her: and she went <03381> down <03381> to the well
<05869>, and filled <04390> her pitcher <03537>, and came <05927>
up.
17 And the servant <05650> ran <07323> to meet <07125> her, and
said <0559>, Let me, I pray <04994> thee, drink <01572> a little
<04592> water <04325> of thy pitcher <03537>.
18 And she said <0559>, Drink <08354>, my lord <0113>: and she
hasted <04116>, and let <03381> down <03381> her pitcher <03537>
upon her hand <03027>, and gave him drink <08248>.
19 And when <03588> she had done <03615> giving him drink
<08248>,
she said <0559>, I will draw <07579> [water <04325>] for thy
camels
<01581> also, until they have done <03615> drinking <08354>.
20 And she hasted <04116>, and emptied <06168> her pitcher
<03537>
into <0413> the trough <08268>, and ran <07323> again <05750>
unto
the well <0875> to draw <07579> [water <04325>], and drew <08025>
for all <03605> his camels <01581>.
21 And the man <0376> wondering <07583> at her held <02790> his
peace <02790>, to wit <03045> whether <0518> the LORD <03068> had
made <06743> his journey <01870> prosperous <06743> or not.
22 And it came <01961> to pass, as the camels <01581> had done
<03615> drinking <08354>, that the man <0376> took <03947> a
golden
<02091> earring <05141> of half <01235> a shekel <01235> weight
<04948>, and two <08147> bracelets <06781> for her hands <03027>
of
ten <06235> [shekels <08255>] weight <04948> of gold <02091>;
23 And said <0559>, Whose <04310> daughter <01323> [art] thou?
tell <05046> me, I pray <04994> thee: is there room <04725> [in]
thy
father's <01> house <01004> for us to lodge <03885> in?
24 And she said <0559> unto him, I [am] the daughter <01323> of
Bethuel <01328> the son <01121> of Milcah <04435>, which <0834>
she
bare <03205> unto Nahor <05152>.
25 She said <0559> moreover unto him, We have both <01571>
straw
<08401> and provender <04554> enough <07227>, and room <04725> to
lodge <03885> in.
26 And the man <0376> bowed <06915> down <06915> his head, and
worshipped <07812> the LORD <03068>.
27 And he said <0559>, Blessed <01288> [be] the LORD <03068>
God
<0430> of my master <0113> Abraham <085>, who <04310> hath not
left
<05800> destitute <05800> my master <0113> of his mercy <02617>
and
his truth <0571>: I [being] in the way <01870>, the LORD <03068>
led
<05148> me to the house <01004> of my master's <0113> brethren
<0251>.
28 And the damsel <05291> ran <07323>, and told <05046> [them
of]
her mother's <0517> house <01004> these things <01697>.
29. And Rebekah <07259> had a brother <0251>, and his name
<08034>
[was] Laban <03837>: and Laban <03837> ran <07323> out unto the
man
<0376>, unto the well <05869>.
30 And it came <01961> to pass, when <03588> he saw <07200> the
earring <05141> and bracelets <06781> upon his sister's <0269>
hands
<03027>, and when <03588> he heard <08085> the words <01697> of
Rebekah <07259> his sister <0269>, saying <0559>, Thus <03541>
spake
<01696> the man <0376> unto me; that he came <0935> unto the man
<0376>; and, behold <02009>, he stood <05975> by the camels
<01581>
at <05921> the well <05869>.
31 And he said <0559>, Come <0935> in, thou blessed <01288> of
the
LORD <03068>; wherefore <04100> standest <05975> thou without
<02351>? for I have prepared <06437> the house <01004>, and room
<04725> for the camels <01581>.
32 And the man <0376> came <0935> into the house <01004>: and
he
ungirded <06605> his camels <01581>, and gave <05414> straw
<08401>
and provender <04554> for the camels <01581>, and water <04325>
to
wash <07364> his feet <07272>, and the men's <0582> feet <07272>
that [were] with him.
33 And there was set <07760> [meat] before <06440> him to eat
<0398>: but he said <0559>, I will not eat <0398>, until I have
told
<01696> mine errand <01697>. And he said <0559>, Speak <01696>
on.
34 And he said <0559>, I [am] Abraham's <085> servant <05650>.
35 And the LORD <03068> hath blessed <01288> my master <0113>
greatly <03966>; and he is become <01431> great <01431>: and he
hath
given <05414> him flocks <06629>, and herds <01241>, and silver
<03701>, and gold <02091>, and menservants <05650>, and
maidservants
<08198>, and camels <01581>, and asses <02543>.
36 And Sarah <08283> my master's <0113> wife <0802> bare
<03205> a
son <01121> to my master <0113> when <0310> she was old <02209>:
and
unto him hath he given <05414> all <03605> that he hath.
37 And my master <0113> made me swear <07650>, saying <0559>,
Thou
shalt not take <03947> a wife <0802> to my son <01121> of the
daughters <01363> of the Canaanites <03669>, in whose land
<0776> I
dwell <03418>:
38 But thou shalt go <03212> unto my father's <01> house
<01004>,
and to my kindred <04940>, and take <03947> a wife <0802> unto my
son <01121>.
39 And I said <0559> unto my master <0113>, Peradventure <0194>
the woman <0802> will not follow me.
40 And he said <0559> unto me, The LORD <03068>, before <06440>
whom <0834> I walk <01980>, will send <07971> his angel <04397>
with
thee, and prosper <06743> thy way <01870>; and thou shalt take
<03947> a wife <0802> for my son <01121> of my kindred <04940>,
and
of my father's <01> house <01004>:
41 Then <0227> shalt thou be clear <05352> from [this] my oath
<0423>, when <03588> thou comest <0935> to my kindred <04940>;
and
if <0518> they give <05414> not thee [one], thou shalt be clear
<05355> from my oath <0423>.
42 And I came <0935> this day <03117> unto the well <05869>,
and
said <0559>, O LORD <03068> God <0430> of my master <0113>
Abraham
<085>, if <0518> now <04994> thou do prosper <06743> my way
<01870>
which <0834> I go <01980>:
43 Behold <02009>, I stand <05324> by the well <05869> of water
<04325>; and it shall come <01961> to pass, that when <03588> the
virgin <05959> cometh <03318> forth <03318> to draw <07579>
[water],
and I say <0559> to her, Give me, I pray <04994> thee, a little
<04592> water <04325> of thy pitcher <03537> to drink <08248>;
44 And she say <0559> to me, Both <08147> drink <08354> thou,
and
I will also <01571> draw <07579> for thy camels <01581>: [let]
the
same <01931> [be] the woman <0802> whom <0834> the LORD <03068>
hath
appointed <03198> out for my master's <0113> son <01121>.
45 And before <02962> I had done <03615> speaking <01696> in
mine
heart <03820>, behold <02009>, Rebekah <07259> came <03318> forth
<03318> with her pitcher <03537> on <05921> her shoulder <07926>;
and she went <03381> down <03381> unto the well <05869>, and drew
<07579> [water <04325>]: and I said <0559> unto her, Let me drink
<08248>, I pray <04994> thee.
46 And she made haste <04116>, and let <03381> down <03381> her
pitcher <03537> from her [shoulder], and said <0559>, Drink
<08354>,
and I will give thy camels <01581> drink <08248> also <01571>:
so I
drank <08354>, and she made the camels <01581> drink <08354> also
<01571>.
47 And I asked <07592> her, and said <0559>, Whose daughter
<01323> [art] thou? And she said <0559>, The daughter <01323> of
Bethuel <01328>, Nahor's <05152> son <01121>, whom <0834> Milcah
<04435> bare <03205> unto him: and I put <07760> the earring
<05141>
upon her face <0639>, and the bracelets <06781> upon her hands
<03027>.
48 And I bowed <06915> down <06915> my head, and worshipped
<07812> the LORD <03068>, and blessed <01288> the LORD <03068>
God
<0430> of my master <0113> Abraham <085>, which <0834> had led
<05148> me in the right <0571> way <01870> to take <03947> my
master's <0113> brother's <0251> daughter <01323> unto his son
<01121>.
49 And now <06258> if <0518> ye will deal <06213> kindly
<02617>
and truly <0571> with my master <0113>, tell <05046> me: and if
<0518> not, tell <05046> me; that I may turn <06437> to the right
<03225> hand <03225>, or <0176> to the left <08040>.
50 Then Laban <03837> and Bethuel <01328> answered <06030> and
said <0559>, The thing <01697> proceedeth <03318> from the LORD
<03068>: we cannot speak <01696> unto thee bad <07451> or <0176>
good <02896>.
51 Behold <02009>, Rebekah <07259> [is] before <06440> thee,
take
<03947> [her], and go <03212>, and let her be thy master's <0113>
son's <01121> wife <0802>, as the LORD <03068> hath spoken
<01696>.
52 And it came <01961> to pass, that, when Abraham's <085>
servant
<05650> heard <08085> their words <01697>, he worshipped <07812>
the
LORD <03068>, [bowing himself] to the earth <0776>.
53 And the servant <05650> brought <03318> forth <03318> jewels
<03627> of silver <03701>, and jewels <03627> of gold <02091>,
and
raiment <0899>, and gave <05414> [them] to Rebekah <07259>: he
gave
<05414> also to her brother <0251> and to her mother <0517>
precious
<04030> things.
54. And they did eat <0398> and drink <08354>, he and the men
<0582> that [were] with him, and tarried <03885> all <03885>
night;
and they rose <06965> up in the morning <01242>, and he said
<0559>,
Send <07971> me away unto my master <0113>.
55 And her brother <0251> and her mother <0517> said <0559>,
Let
the damsel <05291> abide <03427> with us [a few] days <03117>, at
<0176> the least <0176> ten <06218>; after <0310> that she shall
go
<03212>.
56 And he said <0559> unto them, Hinder <0309> me not, seeing
the
LORD <03068> hath prospered <06743> my way <01870>; send <07971>
me
away that I may go <03212> to my master <0113>.
57 And they said <0559>, We will call <07121> the damsel
<05291>,
and enquire <07592> at her mouth <06310>.
58 And they called <07121> Rebekah <07259>, and said <0559>
unto
her, Wilt thou go <03212> with this <02088> man <0376>? And she
said
<0559>, I will go <03212>.
59 And they sent <07971> away Rebekah <07259> their sister
<0269>,
and her nurse <03243>, and Abraham's <085> servant <05650>, and
his
men <0582>.
60 And they blessed <01288> Rebekah <07259>, and said <0559>
unto
her, Thou [art] our sister <0269>, be thou [the mother] of
thousands
<0505> of millions <07233>, and let thy seed <02233> possess
<03423>
the gate <08179> of those which hate <08130> them.
61 And Rebekah <07259> arose <06965>, and her damsels <05291>,
and
they rode <07392> upon the camels <01581>, and followed the man
<0376>: and the servant <05650> took <03947> Rebekah <07259>, and
went <03212> his way <03212>.
62. And Isaac <03327> came <0935> from the way <0935> of the
well
Lahairoi <0883>; for he dwelt <03427> in the south <05045>
country
<0776>.
63 And Isaac <03327> went <03318> out to meditate in the field
<07704> at the eventide: and he lifted <05375> up his eyes
<05869>,
and saw <07200>, and, behold <02009>, the camels <01581> [were]
coming <0935>.
64 And Rebekah <07259> lifted <05375> up her eyes <05869>, and
when she saw <07200> Isaac <03327>, she lighted <05307> off
<05921>
the camel <01581>.
65 For she [had] said <0559> unto the servant <05650>, What
<04310> man <0376> [is] this <01976> that walketh <01980> in the
field <07704> to meet <07125> us? And the servant <05650> [had]
said
<0559>, It [is] my master <0113>: therefore she took <03947> a
vail
<06809>, and covered <03680> herself.
66 And the servant <05650> told <05608> Isaac <03327> all
<03605>
things <01697> that he had done <06213>.
67 And Isaac <03327> brought <0935> her into his mother <0517>
Sarah's <08283> tent <0168>, and took <03947> Rebekah <07259>,
and
she became <01961> his wife <0802>; and he loved <0157> her: and
Isaac <03327> was comforted <05162> after <0310> his mother's
<0517>
[death].
Genesis 25
1. Then again <03254> Abraham <085> took <03947> a wife <0802>,
and
her name <08034> [was] Keturah <06989>.
2 And she bare <03205> him Zimran <02175>, and Jokshan <03370>,
and Medan <04091>, and Midian <04080>, and Ishbak <03435>, and
Shuah
<07774>.
3 And Jokshan <03370> begat <03205> Sheba <07614>, and Dedan
<01719>. And the sons <01121> of Dedan <01719> were Asshurim
<0805>,
and Letushim <03912>, and Leummim <03817>.
4 And the sons <01121> of Midian <04080>; Ephah <05891>, and
Epher
<06081>, and Hanoch <02585>, and Abida <028>, and Eldaah <0420>.
All
<03605> these <0428> [were] the children <01121> of Keturah
<06989>.
5 And Abraham <085> gave <05414> all <03605> that he had unto
Isaac <03327>.
6 But unto the sons <01121> of the concubines <06370>, which
<0834> Abraham <085> had, Abraham <085> gave <05414> gifts
<04979>,
and sent <07971> them away from Isaac <03327> his son <01121>,
while
he yet lived <02416>, eastward <06924>, unto the east <06924>
country <0776>.
7 And these <0428> [are] the days <03117> of the years <08141>
of
Abraham's <085> life <02416> which <0834> he lived <02425>, an
hundred <03967> threescore <07657> and fifteen <02568> years
<08141>.
8 Then Abraham <085> gave up the ghost <01478>, and died
<04191>
in a good <02896> old <07872> age <07872>, an old <02205> man,
and
full <07649> [of years]; and was gathered <0622> to his people
<05971>.
9 And his sons <01121> Isaac <03327> and Ishmael <03458> buried
<06912> him in the cave <04631> of Machpelah <04375>, in the
field
<07704> of Ephron <06085> the son <01121> of Zohar <06714> the
Hittite <02850>, which <0834> [is] before Mamre <04471>;
10 The field <07704> which <0834> Abraham <085> purchased
<07069>
of the sons <01121> of Heth <02845>: there <08033> was Abraham
<085>
buried <06912>, and Sarah <08283> his wife <0802>.
11. And it came <01061> to pass after <0310> the death <04194>
of
Abraham <085>, that God <0430> blessed <01288> his son <01121>
Isaac
<03327>; and Isaac <03327> dwelt <03427> by the well <0883>
Lahairoi
<0883>.
12 Now these <0428> [are] the generations <08435> of Ishmael
<03458>, Abraham's <085> son <01121>, whom <0834> Hagar <01904>
the
Egyptian <04713>, Sarah's <08283> handmaid <08198>, bare <03205>
unto Abraham <085>:
13 And these <0428> [are] the names <08034> of the sons
<01121> of
Ishmael <03458>, by their names <08034>, according to their
generations <08435>: the firstborn <01060> of Ishmael <03458>,
Nebajoth <05032>; and Kedar <06938>, and Adbeel <0110>, and
Mibsam
<04017>,
14 And Mishma <04927>, and Dumah <01746>, and Massa <04854>,
15 Hadar <01924>, and Tema <08485>, Jetur <03195>, Naphish
<05305>, and Kedemah <06929>:
16 These <0428> [are] the sons <01121> of Ishmael <03458>, and
these <0428> [are] their names <08034>, by their towns <02691>,
and
by their castles <02918>; twelve princes <05387> according to
their
nations <0523>.
17 And these <0428> [are] the years <08141> of the life
<02416> of
Ishmael <03458>, an hundred <03967> and thirty <07970> and seven
<07651> years <08141>: and he gave up the ghost <01478> and died
<04191>; and was gathered <0622> unto his people <05971>.
18 And they dwelt <07931> from Havilah <02341> unto Shur
<07793>,
that [is] before Egypt <04714>, as thou goest <0935> toward
Assyria
<0804>: [and] he died <05307> in the presence <06440> of all
<03605>
his brethren <0251>.
19. And these <0428> [are] the generations <08435> of Isaac
<03327>, Abraham's <085> son <01121>: Abraham <085> begat <03205>
Isaac <03327>:
20 And Isaac <03327> was forty <0705> years <08141> old <01121>
when he took <03947> Rebekah <07259> to wife <0802>, the daughter
<01323> of Bethuel <01328> the Syrian <0761> of Padanaram
<06307>,
the sister <0269> to Laban <03837> the Syrian <0761>.
21 And Isaac <03327> intreated <06279> the LORD <03068> for his
wife <0802>, because <03588> she [was] barren <06135>: and the
LORD
<03068> was intreated <06279> of him, and Rebekah <07259> his
wife
<0802> conceived <02030>.
22 And the children <01121> struggled <07533> together within
<07130> her; and she said <0559>, If <0518> [it be] so <03651>,
why
<04100> [am] I thus <02088>? And she went <03212> to enquire
<01875>
of the LORD <03068>.
23 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto her, Two <08147>
nations
<01471> [are] in thy womb <0990>, and two <08147> manner of
people
<03816> shall be separated <06504> from thy bowels <04578>; and
[the
one] people <03816> shall be stronger <0553> than [the other]
people
<03816>; and the elder <07227> shall serve <05647> the younger
<06810>.
24 And when her days <03117> to be delivered <03205> were
fulfilled <04390>, behold <02009>, [there were] twins <08380> in
her
womb <0990>.
25 And the first <07223> came <03318> out red <0132>, all
<03605>
over like an hairy <08181> garment <0155>; and they called
<07121>
his name <08034> Esau <06215>.
26 And after <0310> that came <03318> his brother <0251> out,
and
his hand <03027> took hold <0270> on Esau's <06215> heel <06119>;
and his name <08034> was called <07121> Jacob <03290>: and Isaac
<03327> [was] threescore <08346> years <08141> old <01121> when
she
bare <03205> them.
27 And the boys <05288> grew <01431>: and Esau <06215> was a
cunning <03045> hunter <06718>, a man <0376> of the field
<07704>;
and Jacob <03290> [was] a plain <08535> man <0376>, dwelling
<03427>
in tents <0168>.
28 And Isaac <03327> loved <0157> Esau <06215>, because
<03588> he
did eat <06310> of [his] venison <06718>: but Rebekah <07259>
loved
<0157> Jacob <03290>.
29. And Jacob <03290> sod <02102> pottage <05138>: and Esau
<06215>
came <0935> from the field <07704>, and he [was] faint <05889>:
30 And Esau <06215> said <0559> to Jacob <03290>, Feed <03938>
me,
I pray <04994> thee, with that same <02088> red <0122> [pottage];
for I [am] faint <05889>: therefore was his name <08034> called
<07121> Edom <0123>.
31 And Jacob <03290> said <0559>, Sell <04376> me this day
<03117>
thy birthright <01062>.
32 And Esau <06215> said <0559>, Behold <02009>, I [am] at the
point <01980> to die <04191>: and what <04100> profit shall this
<02088> birthright <01062> do to me?
33 And Jacob <03290> said <0559>, Swear <07650> to me this day
<03117>; and he sware <07650> unto him: and he sold <04376> his
birthright <01062> unto Jacob <03290>.
34 Then Jacob <03290> gave <05414> Esau <06215> bread <03899>
and
pottage <05138> of lentiles <05742>; and he did eat <0398> and
drink
<08354>, and rose <06965> up, and went <03212> his way <03212>:
thus
Esau <06215> despised <0959> [his] birthright <01062>.
Genesis 26
1. And there was a famine <07458> in the land <0776>, beside
<0905>
the first <07223> famine <07458> that was in the days <03117> of
Abraham <085>. And Isaac <03327> went <03212> unto Abimelech
<040>
king <04428> of the Philistines <06430> unto Gerar <01642>.
2 And the LORD <03068> appeared <07200> unto him, and said
<0559>,
Go <03381> not down <03381> into Egypt <04714>; dwell <07931> in
the
land <0776> which <0834> I shall tell <0559> thee of:
3 Sojourn <01481> in this <02063> land <0776>, and I will be
with
thee, and will bless <01288> thee; for unto thee, and unto thy
seed
<02233>, I will give <05414> all <03605> these <0411> countries
<0776>, and I will perform <06965> the oath <07621> which <0834>
I
sware <07650> unto Abraham <085> thy father <01>;
4 And I will make thy seed <02233> to multiply <07235> as the
stars <03556> of heaven <08064>, and will give <05414> unto thy
seed
<02233> all <03605> these <0411> countries <0776>; and in thy
seed
<02233> shall all <03605> the nations <01471> of the earth
<0776> be
blessed <01288>;
5 Because <06119> that Abraham <085> obeyed <08085> my voice
<06963>, and kept <08104> my charge <04931>, my commandments
<04687>, my statutes <02708>, and my laws <08451>.
6. And Isaac <03327> dwelt <03427> in Gerar <01642>:
7 And the men <0582> of the place <04725> asked <07592> [him]
of
his wife <0802>; and he said <0559>, She [is] my sister <0269>:
for
he feared <03372> to say <0559>, [She is] my wife <0802>; lest
<06435>, [said <0559> he], the men <0582> of the place <04725>
should kill <02026> me for Rebekah <07259>; because <03588> she
[was] fair <02896> to look <04758> upon.
8 And it came <01961> to pass, when <03588> he had been there
<08033> a long <0748> time <03117>, that Abimelech <040> king
<04428> of the Philistines <06430> looked <08259> out at <01157>
a
window <02474>, and saw <07200>, and, behold <02009>, Isaac
<03327>
[was] sporting <06711> with Rebekah <07259> his wife <0802>.
9 And Abimelech <040> called <07121> Isaac <03327>, and said
<0559>, Behold <02009>, of a surety <0389> she [is] thy wife
<0802>:
and how <0349> saidst <0559> thou, She [is] my sister <0269>? And
Isaac <03327> said <0559> unto him, Because <03588> I said
<0559>,
Lest <06435> I die <04191> for her.
10 And Abimelech <040> said <0559>, What <04100> [is] this
<02063>
thou hast done <06213> unto us? one <0259> of the people <05971>
might lightly <04592> have lien <07901> with thy wife <0802>, and
thou shouldest have brought <0935> guiltiness <0817> upon us.
11 And Abimelech <040> charged <06680> all <03605> [his] people
<05971>, saying <0559>, He that toucheth <05060> this <02088> man
<0376> or his wife <0802> shall surely be put to death <04194>.
12. Then Isaac <03327> sowed <02232> in that land <0776>, and
received <04672> in the same <01931> year <08141> an hundredfold:
and the LORD <03068> blessed <01288> him.
13 And the man <0376> waxed great <01431>, and went <03212>
forward <01980>, and grew <01432> until <05704> he became <01431>
very <03966> great <01431>:
14 For he had possession <04735> of flocks <06629>, and
possession
<04735> of herds <01241>, and great <07227> store of servants
<05657>: and the Philistines <06430> envied <07065> him.
15 For all <03605> the wells <0875> which <0834> his father's
<01>
servants <05650> had digged <02658> in the days <03117> of
Abraham
<085> his father <01>, the Philistines <06430> had stopped
<05640>
them, and filled <04390> them with earth <06083>.
16 And Abimelech <040> said <0559> unto Isaac <03327>, Go
<03212>
from us; for thou art much <03966> mightier <06105> than we.
17 And Isaac <03327> departed <03212> thence <08033>, and
pitched
<02583> his tent in the valley <05158> of Gerar <01642>, and
dwelt
<03427> there <08033>.
18 And Isaac <03327> digged <02658> again <07725> the wells
<0875>
of water <04325>, which <0834> they had digged <02658> in the
days
<03117> of Abraham <085> his father <01>; for the Philistines
<06430> had stopped <05640> them after <0310> the death <04194>
of
Abraham <085>: and he called <07121> their names <08034> after
the
names <08034> by which <0834> his father <01> had called <07121>
them.
19 And Isaac's <03327> servants <05650> digged <02658> in the
valley <05158>, and found <04672> there <08033> a well <0875> of
springing <02416> water <04325>.
20 And the herdmen <07462> of Gerar <01642> did strive <07378>
with Isaac's <03327> herdmen <07462>, saying <0559>, The water
<04325> [is] ours: and he called <07121> the name <08034> of the
well <0875> Esek <06320>; because <03588> they strove <06229>
with
him.
21 And they digged <02658> another <0312> well <0875>, and
strove
<07378> for that also <01571>: and he called <07121> the name
<08034> of it Sitnah <07856>.
22 And he removed <06275> from thence <08033>, and digged
<02658>
another <0312> well <0875>; and for that they strove <07378> not:
and he called <07121> the name <08034> of it Rehoboth <07344>;
and
he said <0559>, For now <06258> the LORD <03068> hath made room
<07337> for us, and we shall be fruitful <06509> in the land
<0776>.
23 And he went <05927> up from thence <08033> to Beersheba
<0884>.
24 And the LORD <03068> appeared <07200> unto him the same
<01931>
night <03915>, and said <0559>, I [am] the God <0430> of Abraham
<085> thy father <01>: fear <03372> not, for I [am] with thee,
and
will bless <01288> thee, and multiply <07235> thy seed <02233>
for
my servant <05650> Abraham's <085> sake <05668>.
25 And he builded <01129> an altar <04196> there <08033>, and
called <07121> upon the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>, and
pitched <05186> his tent <0168> there <08033>: and there <08033>
Isaac's <03327> servants <05650> digged <03738> a well <0875>.
26. Then Abimelech <040> went <01980> to him from Gerar <01642>,
and Ahuzzath <0276> one of his friends <04828>, and Phichol
<06369>
the chief captain <08269> of his army <06635>.
27 And Isaac <03327> said <0559> unto them, Wherefore <04069>
come
<0935> ye to me, seeing <07200> ye hate <08130> me, and have sent
<07971> me away from you?
28 And they said <0559>, We saw <07200> certainly that the LORD
<03068> was with thee: and we said <0559>, Let there be now
<04994>
an oath <0423> betwixt <0996> us, [even] betwixt <0996> us and
thee,
and let us make <03772> a covenant <01285> with thee;
29 That thou wilt do <06213> us no <03808> hurt <07451>, as we
have not touched <05060> thee, and as we have done <06213> unto
thee
nothing <07535> but good <02896>, and have <01961> sent <07971>
thee
away in peace <07965>: thou [art] now <06258> the blessed
<01288> of
the LORD <03068>.
30 And he made <06213> them a feast <04960>, and they did eat
<0398> and drink <08354>.
31 And they rose <07925> up betimes <07925> in the morning
<01242>, and sware <07650> one <0376> to another <0312>: and
Isaac
<03327> sent <07971> them away, and they departed <03212> from
him
in peace <07965>.
32 And it came <01961> to pass the same <01931> day <03117>,
that
Isaac's <03327> servants <05650> came <0935>, and told <05046>
him
concerning the well <0875> which <0834> they had digged <02658>,
and
said <0559> unto him, We have found <04672> water <04325>.
33 And he called <07121> it Shebah <07656>: therefore the name
<08034> of the city <05892> [is] Beersheba <0884> unto this
<02088>
day <03117>.
34. And Esau <06215> was forty <0705> years <08141> old <01121>
when <03588> he took <03947> to wife <0802> Judith <03067> the
daughter <01323> of Beeri <0882> the Hittite <02850>, and
Bashemath
<01315> the daughter <01323> of Elon <0356> the Hittite <02850>:
35 Which <0834> were a grief <04786> of mind <07307> unto Isaac
<03327> and to Rebekah <07259>.
Genesis 27
1. And it came <01961> to pass, that when <03588> Isaac <03327>
was
old <02204>, and his eyes <05869> were dim <03543>, so that he
could
not see <07200>, he called <07121> Esau <06215> his eldest
<01419>
son <01121>, and said <0559> unto him, My son <01121>: and he
said
<0559> unto him, Behold <02009>, [here am] I.
2 And he said <0559>, Behold <02009> now <04994>, I am old
<02204>, I know <03045> not the day <03117> of my death <04194>:
3 Now <06258> therefore take <05375>, I pray <04994> thee, thy
weapons <03627>, thy quiver <08522> and thy bow <07198>, and go
<03318> out to the field <07704>, and take <06679> me [some]
venison
<06720>;
4 And make <06213> me savoury <04303> meat, such as I love
<0157>,
and bring <0935> [it] to me, that I may eat <0398>; that my soul
<05315> may bless <01288> thee before <02962> I die <04191>.
5 And Rebekah <07259> heard <08085> when <03588> Isaac <03327>
spake <01696> to Esau <06215> his son <01121>. And Esau <06215>
went
<03212> to the field <07704> to hunt <06679> [for] venison
<06718>,
[and] to bring <0935> [it].
6. And Rebekah <07259> spake <0559> unto Jacob <03290> her son
<01121>, saying <0559>, Behold <02009>, I heard <08085> thy
father
<01> speak <01696> unto Esau <06215> thy brother <0251>, saying
<0559>,
7 Bring <0935> me venison <06718>, and make <06213> me savoury
<04303> meat, that I may eat <0398>, and bless <01288> thee
before
<06440> the LORD <03068> before <06440> my death <04194>.
8 Now <06258> therefore, my son <01121>, obey <08085> my voice
<06963> according to that which <0834> I command <06680> thee.
9 Go <03212> now <04994> to the flock <06629>, and fetch
<03947>
me from thence <08033> two <08147> good <02896> kids <01423> of
the
goats <05795>; and I will make <06213> them savoury <04303> meat
for
thy father <01>, such as he loveth <0157>:
10 And thou shalt bring <0935> [it] to thy father <01>, that he
may eat <0398>, and that he may bless <01288> thee before <06440>
his death <04194>.
11 And Jacob <03290> said <0559> to Rebekah <07259> his mother
<0517>, Behold <02005>, Esau <06215> my brother <0251> [is] a
hairy
<08163> man <0376>, and I [am] a smooth <02509> man <0376>:
12 My father <01> peradventure <0194> will feel <04959> me,
and I
shall seem to him as a deceiver <08591>; and I shall bring
<0935> a
curse <07045> upon me, and not a blessing <01293>.
13 And his mother <0517> said <0559> unto him, Upon me [be] thy
curse <07045>, my son <01121>: only obey <08085> my voice
<06963>,
and go <03212> fetch <03947> me [them].
14 And he went <03212>, and fetched <03947>, and brought <0935>
[them] to his mother <0517>: and his mother <0517> made <06213>
savoury <04303> meat, such as his father <01> loved <0157>.
15 And Rebekah <07259> took <03947> goodly <02530> raiment
<0899>
of her eldest <01419> son <01121> Esau <06215>, which <0834>
[were]
with her in the house <01004>, and put <03847> them upon Jacob
<03290> her younger <06996> son <01121>:
16 And she put <03847> the skins <05785> of the kids <01423> of
the goats <05795> upon his hands <03027>, and upon the smooth
<02513> of his neck <06677>:
17 And she gave <05414> the savoury <04303> meat and the bread
<03899>, which <0834> she had prepared <06213>, into the hand
<03027> of her son <01121> Jacob <03290>.
18. And he came <0935> unto his father <01>, and said <0559>, My
father <01>: and he said <0559>, Here <02009> [am] I; who <04310>
[art] thou, my son <01121>?
19 And Jacob <03290> said <0559> unto his father <01>, I [am]
Esau
<06215> thy firstborn <01060>; I have done <06213> according as
thou
badest <01696> me: arise <06965>, I pray <04994> thee, sit
<03427>
and eat <0398> of my venison <06718>, that thy soul <05315> may
bless <01288> me.
20 And Isaac <03327> said <0559> unto his son <01121>, How
<04100>
[is it] that thou hast found <04672> [it] so quickly <04116>, my
son
<01121>? And he said <0559>, Because <03588> the LORD <03068> thy
God <0430> brought <07136> [it] to me.
21 And Isaac <03327> said <0559> unto Jacob <03290>, Come
<05066>
near <05066>, I pray <04994> thee, that I may feel <04184> thee,
my
son <01121>, whether thou [be] my very <02088> son <01121> Esau
<06215> or not.
22 And Jacob <03290> went <05066> near <05066> unto Isaac
<03327>
his father <01>; and he felt <04959> him, and said <0559>, The
voice
<06963> [is] Jacob's <03290> voice <06963>, but the hands <03027>
[are] the hands <03027> of Esau <06215>.
23 And he discerned <05234> him not, because <03588> his hands
<03027> were hairy <08163>, as his brother <0251> Esau's <06215>
hands <03027>: so he blessed <01288> him.
24 And he said <0559>, [Art] thou my very <02088> son <01121>
Esau
<06215>? And he said <0559>, I [am].
25 And he said <0559>, Bring <05066> [it] near <05066> to me,
and
I will eat <0398> of my son's <01121> venison <06718>, that my
soul
<05315> may bless <01288> thee. And he brought <05066> [it] near
<05066> to him, and he did eat <0398>: and he brought <0935> him
wine <03196>, and he drank <08354>.
26 And his father <01> Isaac <03327> said <0559> unto him, Come
<05066> near <05066> now <04994>, and kiss <05401> me, my son
<01121>.
27 And he came <05066> near <05066>, and kissed <05401> him:
and
he smelled <07306> the smell <07381> of his raiment <0899>, and
blessed <01288> him, and said <0559>, See <07200>, the smell
<07381>
of my son <01121> [is] as the smell <07381> of a field <07704>
which
<0834> the LORD <03068> hath blessed <01288>:
28 Therefore God <0430> give <05414> thee of the dew <02919> of
heaven <08064>, and the fatness <04924> of the earth <0776>, and
plenty <07230> of corn <01715> and wine <08492>:
29 Let people <05971> serve <05647> thee, and nations <03816>
bow
<07812> down <07812> to thee: be lord <01376> over thy brethren
<0251>, and let thy mother's <0517> sons <01121> bow <07812> down
<07812> to thee: cursed <0779> [be] every one that curseth <0779>
thee, and blessed <01288> [be] he that blesseth <01288> thee.
30. And it came <01961> to pass, as soon <0834> as Isaac <03327>
had made an end <03615> of blessing <01293> Jacob <03290>, and
Jacob
<03290> was yet <0389> scarce gone <03318> out from the presence
<06440> of Isaac <03327> his father <01>, that Esau <06215> his
brother <0251> came <0935> in from his hunting <06718>.
31 And he also <01571> had made <06213> savoury <04303> meat,
and
brought <0935> it unto his father <01>, and said <0559> unto his
father <01>, Let my father <01> arise <06965>, and eat <0398> of
his
son's <01121> venison <06718>, that thy soul <05315> may bless
<01288> me.
32 And Isaac <03327> his father <01> said <0559> unto him, Who
<04310> [art] thou? And he said <0559>, I [am] thy son <01121>,
thy
firstborn <01060> Esau <06215>.
33 And Isaac <03327> trembled <02729> very <01419> exceedingly
<01419>, and said <0559>, Who <04310>? where <0645> [is] he that
hath taken <06679> venison <06718>, and brought <0935> [it] me,
and
I have eaten <0398> of all <03605> before <02962> thou camest
<0935>, and have blessed <01288> him? yea <01571>, [and] he
shall be
blessed <01288>.
34 And when Esau <06215> heard <08085> the words <01697> of his
father <01>, he cried <06817> with a great <01419> and exceeding
<03966> bitter <04751> cry <06818>, and said <0559> unto his
father
<01>, Bless <01288> me, [even <01571>] me also <01571>, O my
father
<01>.
35 And he said <0559>, Thy brother <0251> came <0935> with
subtilty <04820>, and hath taken <03947> away thy blessing
<01293>.
36 And he said <0559>, Is not he rightly <03588> named Jacob
<03290>? for he hath supplanted <06117> me these <02088> two
<06471>
times <06471>: he took <03947> away my birthright <01062>; and,
behold <02009>, now <06258> he hath taken <03947> away my
blessing
<01293>. And he said <0559>, Hast thou not reserved <0680> a
blessing <01293> for me?
37 And Isaac <03327> answered <06030> and said <0559> unto Esau
<06215>, Behold <02005>, I have made <07760> him thy lord
<01376>,
and all <03605> his brethren <0251> have I given <05414> to him
for
servants <05650>; and with corn <01715> and wine <08492> have I
sustained <05564> him: and what <04100> shall I do <06213> now
<0645> unto thee, my son <01121>?
38 And Esau <06215> said <0559> unto his father <01>, Hast thou
but one <0259> blessing <01293>, my father <01>? bless <01288>
me,
[even <01571>] me also <01571>, O my father <01>. And Esau
<06215>
lifted <05375> up his voice <06963>, and wept <01058>.
39 And Isaac <03327> his father <01> answered <06030> and said
<0559> unto him, Behold <02009>, thy dwelling <04186> shall be
the
fatness <04924> of the earth <0776>, and of the dew <02919> of
heaven <08064> from above <05921>;
40 And by thy sword <02719> shalt thou live <02421>, and shalt
serve <05647> thy brother <0251>; and it shall come <01961> to
pass
when <0834> thou shalt have the dominion <07300>, that thou shalt
break <06561> his yoke <05923> from off <05921> thy neck <06677>.
41. And Esau <06215> hated <07852> Jacob <03290> because
<05921> of
the blessing <01293> wherewith <0834> his father <01> blessed
<01288> him: and Esau <06215> said <0559> in his heart <03820>,
The
days <03117> of mourning <060> for my father <01> are at <07126>
hand <07126>; then will I slay <02026> my brother <0251> Jacob
<03290>.
42 And these words <01697> of Esau <06215> her elder <01419>
son
<01121> were told <05046> to Rebekah <07259>: and she sent
<07971>
and called <07121> Jacob <03290> her younger <06996> son <01121>,
and said <0559> unto him, Behold <02009>, thy brother <0251> Esau
<06215>, as touching thee, doth comfort <05162> himself,
[purposing]
to kill <02026> thee.
43 Now <06258> therefore, my son <01121>, obey <08085> my voice
<06963>; and arise <06965>, flee <01272> thou to Laban <03837> my
brother <0251> to Haran <02771>;
44 And tarry <03427> with him a few <0259> days <03117>, until
thy
brother's <0251> fury <02534> turn <07725> away;
45 Until <05704> thy brother's <0251> anger <0639> turn <07725>
away from thee, and he forget <07911> [that] which <0834> thou
hast
done <06213> to him: then I will send <07971>, and fetch <03947>
thee from thence <08033>: why <04100> should I be deprived
<07921>
also <01571> of you both <08147> in one <0259> day <03117>?
46 And Rebekah <07259> said <0559> to Isaac <03327>, I am weary
<06973> of my life <02416> because <06440> of the daughters
<01363>
of Heth <02845>: if <0518> Jacob <03290> take <03947> a wife
<0802>
of the daughters <01363> of Heth <02845>, such as these <0428>
[which <0834> are] of the daughters <01363> of the land <0776>,
what
<04100> good shall my life <02416> do me?
Genesis 28
1. And Isaac <03327> called <07121> Jacob <03290>, and blessed
<01288> him, and charged <06680> him, and said <0559> unto him,
Thou
shalt not take <03947> a wife <0802> of the daughters <01363> of
Canaan <03667>.
2 Arise <06965>, go <03212> to Padanaram <06307>, to the house
<01004> of Bethuel <01328> thy mother's <0517> father <01>; and
take
<03947> thee a wife <0802> from thence <08033> of the daughters
<01363> of Laban <03837> thy mother's <0517> brother <0251>.
3 And God <0410> Almighty <07706> bless <01288> thee, and make
thee fruitful <06509>, and multiply <07235> thee, that thou
mayest
be a multitude <06951> of people <05971>;
4 And give <05414> thee the blessing <01293> of Abraham <085>,
to
thee, and to thy seed <02233> with thee; that thou mayest inherit
<03423> the land <0776> wherein thou art a stranger <04033>,
which
<0834> God <0430> gave <05414> unto Abraham <085>.
5 And Isaac <03327> sent <07971> away Jacob <03290>: and he
went
<03212> to Padanaram <06307> unto Laban <03837>, son <01121> of
Bethuel <01328> the Syrian <0761>, the brother <0251> of Rebekah
<07259>, Jacob's <03290> and Esau's <06215> mother <0517>.
6. When Esau <06215> saw <07200> that Isaac <03327> had blessed
<01288> Jacob <03290>, and sent <07971> him away to Padanaram
<06307>, to take <03947> him a wife <0802> from thence <08033>;
and
that as he blessed <01288> him he gave him a charge <06680>,
saying
<0559>, Thou shalt not take <03947> a wife <0802> of the
daughters
<01363> of Canaan <03667>;
7 And that Jacob <03290> obeyed <08085> his father <01> and his
mother <0517>, and was gone <03212> to Padanaram <06307>;
8 And Esau <06215> seeing <07200> that the daughters <01363> of
Canaan <03667> pleased not Isaac <03327> his father <01>;
9 Then went <03212> Esau <06215> unto Ishmael <03458>, and took
<03947> unto the wives <0802> which he had Mahalath <04258> the
daughter <01323> of Ishmael <03458> Abraham's <085> son <01121>,
the
sister <0269> of Nebajoth <05032>, to be his wife <0802>.
10. And Jacob <03290> went <03318> out from Beersheba <0884>,
and
went <03212> toward Haran <02771>.
11 And he lighted <06293> upon a certain place <04725>, and
tarried <03885> there <08033> all <03885> night, because <03588>
the
sun <08121> was set <0935>; and he took <03947> of the stones
<068>
of that place <04725>, and put <07760> [them for] his pillows
<04763>, and lay <07901> down in that place <04725> to sleep
<07901>.
12 And he dreamed <02492>, and behold <02009> a ladder <05551>
set
<05324> up on the earth <0776>, and the top <07218> of it reached
<05060> to heaven <08064>: and behold <02009> the angels <04397>
of
God <0430> ascending <05927> and descending <03381> on it.
13 And, behold <02009>, the LORD <03068> stood <05324> above
<05921> it, and said <0559>, I [am] the LORD <03068> God <0430>
of
Abraham <085> thy father <01>, and the God <0430> of Isaac
<03327>:
the land <0776> whereon thou liest <07901>, to thee will I give
<05414> it, and to thy seed <02233>;
14 And thy seed <02233> shall be as the dust <06083> of the
earth
<0776>, and thou shalt spread <06555> abroad <06555> to the west
<03220>, and to the east <06924>, and to the north <06828>, and
to
the south <05045>: and in thee and in thy seed <02233> shall all
<03605> the families <04940> of the earth <0127> be blessed
<01288>.
15 And, behold <02009>, I [am] with thee, and will keep <08104>
thee in all <03605> [places] whither <0834> thou goest <03212>,
and
will bring <07725> thee again <07725> into <0413> this <02063>
land
<0127>; for I will not leave <05800> thee, until I have done
<06213>
[that] which <0834> I have spoken <01696> to thee of.
16. And Jacob <03290> awaked <03364> out of his sleep <08142>,
and
he said <0559>, Surely <0403> the LORD <03068> is in this <02088>
place <04725>; and I knew <03045> [it] not.
17 And he was afraid <03372>, and said <0559>, How <04100>
dreadful <03372> [is] this <02088> place <04725>! this <02088>
[is]
none <0369> other but the house <01004> of God <0430>, and this
<02088> [is] the gate <08179> of heaven <08064>.
18 And Jacob <03290> rose <07925> up early <07925> in the
morning
<01242>, and took <03947> the stone <068> that he had put <07760>
[for] his pillows <04763>, and set <07760> it up [for] a pillar
<04676>, and poured <03332> oil <08081> upon the top <07218> of
it.
19 And he called <07121> the name <08034> of that place <04725>
Bethel <01008>: but the name <08034> of that city <05892> [was
called] Luz <03870> at the first <07223>.
20 And Jacob <03290> vowed <05087> a vow <05088>, saying
<0559>,
If <0518> God <0430> will be with me, and will keep <08104> me in
this <02088> way <01870> that I go <01980>, and will give
<05414> me
bread <03899> to eat <0398>, and raiment <0899> to put <03847>
on,
21 So that I come <07725> again <07725> to my father's <01>
house
<01004> in peace <07965>; then shall the LORD <03068> be my God
<0430>:
22 And this <02063> stone <068>, which <0834> I have set
<07760>
[for] a pillar <04676>, shall be God's <0430> house <01004>: and
of
all <03605> that thou shalt give <05414> me I will surely give
the
tenth <06237> unto thee.
Genesis 29
1. Then Jacob <03290> went on his journey, and came <03212> into
<0413> the land <0776> of the people <01121> of the east <06924>.
2 And he looked <07200>, and behold <02009> a well <0875> in
the
field <07704>, and, lo <02009>, there <08033> [were] three
<07969>
flocks <05739> of sheep <06629> lying <07257> by it; for out of
that
well <0875> they watered <08248> the flocks <05739>: and a great
<01419> stone <068> [was] upon the well's <0875> mouth <06310>.
3 And thither <08033> were all <03605> the flocks <05739>
gathered
<0622>: and they rolled <01556> the stone <068> from the well's
<0875> mouth <06310>, and watered <08248> the sheep <06629>, and
put
<07725> the stone <068> again <07725> upon the well's <0875>
mouth
<06310> in his place <04725>.
4 And Jacob <03290> said <0559> unto them, My brethren <0251>,
whence <0370> [be] ye? And they said <0559>, Of Haran <02771>
[are]
we.
5 And he said <0559> unto them, Know <03045> ye Laban <03837>
the
son <01121> of Nahor <05152>? And they said <0559>, We know
<03045>
[him].
6 And he said <0559> unto them, [Is] he well <07965>? And they
said <0559>, [He is] well <07965>: and, behold <02009>, Rachel
<07354> his daughter <01323> cometh <0935> with the sheep
<06629>.
7 And he said <0559>, Lo <02005>, [it is] yet <05750> high
<01419>
day <03117>, neither <03808> [is it] time <06256> that the cattle
<04735> should be gathered <0622> together: water <04325> ye the
sheep <06629>, and go <03212> [and] feed <07462> [them].
8 And they said <0559>, We cannot, until <05704> all <03605>
the
flocks <05739> be gathered <0622> together, and [till] they roll
<01556> the stone <068> from the well's <0875> mouth <06310>;
then
we water <04325> the sheep <06629>.
9. And while he yet <05750> spake <01696> with them, Rachel
<07354>
came <0935> with her father's <01> sheep <06629>: for she kept
<07462> them.
10 And it came <01961> to pass, when <0834> Jacob <03290> saw
<07200> Rachel <07354> the daughter <01323> of Laban <03837> his
mother's <0517> brother <0251>, and the sheep <06629> of Laban
<03837> his mother's <0517> brother <0251>, that Jacob <03290>
went
<05066> near <05066>, and rolled <01556> the stone <068> from the
well's <0875> mouth <06310>, and watered <08248> the flock
<06629>
of Laban <03837> his mother's <0517> brother <0251>.
11 And Jacob <03290> kissed <05401> Rachel <07354>, and lifted
<05375> up his voice <06963>, and wept <01058>.
12 And Jacob <03290> told <05046> Rachel <07354> that he [was]
her
father's <01> brother <0251>, and that he [was] Rebekah's <07259>
son <01121>: and she ran <07323> and told <05046> her father
<01>.
13 And it came <01961> to pass, when Laban <03837> heard
<08085>
the tidings <08088> of Jacob <03290> his sister's <0269> son
<01121>, that he ran <07323> to meet <07125> him, and embraced
<02263> him, and kissed <05401> him, and brought <0935> him to
his
house <01004>. And he told <05608> Laban <03837> all <03605>
these
<0428> things <01697>.
14 And Laban <03837> said <0559> to him, Surely <0389> thou
[art]
my bone <06106> and my flesh <01320>. And he abode <03427> with
him
the space <03117> of a month <02320>.
15. And Laban <03837> said <0559> unto Jacob <03290>, Because
<03588> thou [art] my brother <0251>, shouldest thou therefore
serve
<05647> me for nought <02600>? tell <05046> me, what <04100>
[shall]
thy wages <04909> [be]?
16 And Laban <03837> had two <08147> daughters <01363>: the
name
<08034> of the elder <01419> [was] Leah <03812>, and the name
<08034> of the younger <06996> [was] Rachel <07354>.
17 Leah <03812> [was] tender <07390> eyed <05869>; but Rachel
<07354> was beautiful and well <03303> favoured <04758>.
18 And Jacob <03290> loved <0157> Rachel <07354>; and said
<0559>,
I will serve <05647> thee seven <07651> years <08141> for Rachel
<07354> thy younger <06996> daughter <01323>.
19 And Laban <03837> said <0559>, [It is] better <02896> that I
give <05414> her to thee, than that I should give <05414> her to
another <0312> man <0376>: abide <03427> with me.
20 And Jacob <03290> served <05647> seven <07651> years <08141>
for Rachel <07354>; and they seemed unto him [but] a few <0259>
days
<03117>, for the love <0160> he had to her.
21 And Jacob <03290> said <0559> unto Laban <03837>, Give
<03051>
[me] my wife <0802>, for my days <03117> are fulfilled <04390>,
that
I may go <0935> in unto her.
22 And Laban <03837> gathered <0622> together all <03605> the
men
<0582> of the place <04725>, and made <06213> a feast <04960>.
23 And it came <01961> to pass in the evening <06153>, that he
took <03947> Leah <03812> his daughter <01323>, and brought
<0935>
her to him; and he went <0935> in unto her.
24 And Laban <03837> gave <05414> unto his daughter <01323>
Leah
<03812> Zilpah <02153> his maid <08198> [for] an handmaid
<08198>.
25 And it came <01961> to pass, that in the morning <01242>,
behold <02009>, it [was] Leah <03812>: and he said <0559> to
Laban
<03837>, What <04100> [is] this <02063> thou hast done <06213>
unto
me? did not I serve <05647> with thee for Rachel <07354>?
wherefore
then hast thou beguiled <07411> me?
26 And Laban <03837> said <0559>, It must not be so <03651>
done
<06213> in our country <04725>, to give <05414> the younger
<06810>
before <06440> the firstborn <01067>.
27 Fulfil <04390> her week <07620>, and we will give <05414>
thee
this <02063> also <01571> for the service <05656> which <0834>
thou
shalt serve <05647> with me yet <05750> seven <07651> other
<0312>
years <08141>.
28 And Jacob <03290> did <06213> so <03651>, and fulfilled
<04390>
her week <07620>: and he gave <05414> him Rachel <07354> his
daughter <01323> to wife <0802> also.
29 And Laban <03837> gave <05414> to Rachel <07354> his
daughter
<01323> Bilhah <01090> his handmaid <08198> to be her maid
<08198>.
30 And he went <0935> in also <01571> unto Rachel <07354>, and
he
loved <0157> also <01571> Rachel <07354> more than Leah <03812>,
and
served <05647> with him yet <05750> seven <07651> other <0312>
years
<08141>.
31. And when the LORD <03068> saw <07200> that Leah <03812>
[was]
hated <08130>, he opened <06605> her womb <07358>: but Rachel
<07354> [was] barren <06135>.
32 And Leah <03812> conceived <02030>, and bare <03205> a son
<01121>, and she called <07121> his name <08034> Reuben <07205>:
for
she said <0559>, Surely <03588> the LORD <03068> hath looked
<07200>
upon my affliction <06040>; now <06258> therefore <03588> my
husband
<0376> will love <0157> me.
33 And she conceived <02030> again <05750>, and bare <03205> a
son
<01121>; and said <0559>, Because <03588> the LORD <03068> hath
heard <08085> that I [was] hated <08130>, he hath therefore
<01571>
given <05414> me this <02088> [son] also <01571>: and she called
<07121> his name <08034> Simeon <08095>.
34 And she conceived <02030> again <05750>, and bare <03205> a
son
<01121>; and said <0559>, Now this time <06471> will my husband
<0376> be joined <03867> unto me, because <03588> I have born
<03205> him three <07969> sons <01121>: therefore was his name
<08034> called <07121> Levi <03878>.
35 And she conceived <02030> again <05750>, and bare <03205> a
son
<01121>: and she said <0559>, Now will I praise <03034> the LORD
<03068>: therefore she called <07121> his name <08034> Judah
<03063>; and left <05975> bearing <03205>.
Genesis 30
1. And when Rachel <07354> saw <07200> that she bare <03205>
Jacob
<03290> no <0369> children, Rachel <07354> envied <07065> her
sister
<0269>; and said <0559> unto Jacob <03290>, Give <03051> me
children
<01121>, or else <0369> I die <04191>.
2 And Jacob's <03290> anger <0639> was kindled <02734> against
Rachel <07354>: and he said <0559>, [Am] I in God's <0430> stead
<08478>, who <0834> hath withheld <04513> from thee the fruit
<06529> of the womb <0990>?
3 And she said <0559>, Behold <02009> my maid <0519> Bilhah
<01090>, go <0935> in unto her; and she shall bear <03205> upon
my
knees <01290>, that I may also <01571> have children <01129> by
her.
4 And she gave <05414> him Bilhah <01090> her handmaid <08198>
to
wife <0802>: and Jacob <03290> went <0935> in unto her.
5 And Bilhah <01090> conceived <02030>, and bare <03205> Jacob
<03290> a son <01121>.
6 And Rachel <07354> said <0559>, God <0430> hath judged
<01777>
me, and hath also <01571> heard <08085> my voice <06963>, and
hath
given <05414> me a son <01121>: therefore called <07121> she his
name <08034> Dan <01835>.
7 And Bilhah <01090> Rachel's <07354> maid <08198> conceived
<02030> again <05750>, and bare <03205> Jacob <03290> a second
<08145> son <01121>.
8 And Rachel <07354> said <0559>, With great <0430> wrestlings
<05319> have I wrestled <06617> with my sister <0269>, and I have
prevailed <03201>: and she called <07121> his name <08034>
Naphtali
<05321>.
9 When Leah <03812> saw <07200> that she had left <05975>
bearing
<03205>, she took <03947> Zilpah <02153> her maid <08198>, and
gave
<05414> her Jacob <03290> to wife <0802>.
10 And Zilpah <02153> Leah's <03812> maid <08198> bare <03205>
Jacob <03290> a son <01121>.
11 And Leah <03812> said <0559>, A troop <01409> cometh <0935>:
and she called <07121> his name <08034> Gad <01410>.
12 And Zilpah <02153> Leah's <03812> maid <08198> bare <03205>
Jacob <03290> a second <08145> son <01121>.
13 And Leah <03812> said <0559>, Happy <0837> am I, for the
daughters <01363> will call <0833> me blessed <0833>: and she
called
<07121> his name <08034> Asher <0836>.
14. And Reuben <07205> went <03212> in the days <03117> of wheat
<02406> harvest <07105>, and found <04672> mandrakes <01736> in
the
field <07704>, and brought <0935> them unto his mother <0517>
Leah
<03812>. Then Rachel <07354> said <0559> to Leah <03812>, Give
<05414> me, I pray <04994> thee, of thy son's <01121> mandrakes
<01736>.
15 And she said <0559> unto her, [Is it] a small <04592> matter
that thou hast taken <03947> my husband <0376>? and wouldest thou
take <03947> away my son's <01121> mandrakes <01736> also
<01571>?
And Rachel <07354> said <0559>, Therefore <03651> he shall lie
<07901> with thee to night <03915> for thy son's <01121>
mandrakes
<01736>.
16 And Jacob <03290> came <0935> out of the field <07704> in
the
evening <06153>, and Leah <03812> went <03318> out to meet
<07125>
him, and said <0559>, Thou must come <0935> in unto me; for
surely I
have hired <07936> thee with my son's <01121> mandrakes <01736>.
And
he lay <07901> with her that night <03915>.
17 And God <0430> hearkened <08085> unto Leah <03812>, and she
conceived <02030>, and bare <03205> Jacob <03290> the fifth
<02549>
son <01121>.
18 And Leah <03812> said <0559>, God <0430> hath given <05414>
me
my hire <07937>, because <0834> I have given <05414> my maiden
<08198> to my husband <0376>: and she called <07121> his name
<08034> Issachar <03485>.
19 And Leah <03812> conceived <02030> again <05750>, and bare
<03205> Jacob <03290> the sixth <08345> son <01121>.
20 And Leah <03812> said <0559>, God <0430> hath endued
<02064> me
[with] a good <02896> dowry <02065>; now <06471> will my husband
<0376> dwell <02082> with me, because <03588> I have born <03205>
him six <08337> sons <01121>: and she called <07121> his name
<08034> Zebulun <02074>.
21 And afterwards <0310> she bare <03205> a daughter <01323>,
and
called <07121> her name <08034> Dinah <01783>.
22 And God <0430> remembered <02142> Rachel <07354>, and God
<0430> hearkened <08085> to her, and opened <06605> her womb
<07358>.
23 And she conceived <02030>, and bare <03205> a son <01121>;
and
said <0559>, God <0430> hath taken <0622> away my reproach
<02781>:
24 And she called <07121> his name <08034> Joseph <03130>; and
said <0559>, The LORD <03068> shall add <03254> to me another
<0312>
son <01121>.
25. And it came <01961> to pass, when <0834> Rachel <07354> had
born <03205> Joseph <03130>, that Jacob <03290> said <0559> unto
Laban <03837>, Send <07971> me away, that I may go <03212> unto
mine
own place <04725>, and to my country <0776>.
26 Give <05414> [me] my wives <0802> and my children <03206>,
for
whom <0834> I have served <05647> thee, and let me go <03212>:
for
thou knowest <03045> my service <05656> which <0834> I have done
<05647> thee.
27 And Laban <03837> said <0559> unto him, I pray <04994> thee,
if
<0518> I have found <04672> favour <02580> in thine eyes <05869>,
[tarry: for] I have learned <05172> by experience <05172> that
the
LORD <03068> hath blessed <01288> me for thy sake <01558>.
28 And he said <0559>, Appoint <05344> me thy wages <07939>,
and I
will give <05414> [it].
29 And he said <0559> unto him, Thou knowest <03045> how I have
served <05647> thee, and how thy cattle <04735> was with me.
30 For [it was] little <04592> which <0834> thou hadst before
<06440> I [came], and it is [now] increased <06555> unto a
multitude
<07230>; and the LORD <03068> hath blessed <01288> thee since my
coming <07272>: and now <06258> when <04970> shall I provide
<06213>
for mine own house <01004> also <01571>?
31 And he said <0559>, What <04100> shall I give <05414> thee?
And
Jacob <03290> said <0559>, Thou shalt not give <05414> me any
<03972> thing <01697>: if <0518> thou wilt do <06213> this
<02088>
thing <01697> for me, I will again <07725> feed <07462> [and]
keep
<08104> thy flock <06629>:
32 I will pass <05674> through all <03605> thy flock <06629> to
day <03117>, removing <05493> from thence <08033> all <03605> the
speckled <05348> and spotted <02921> cattle <07716>, and all
<03605>
the brown <02345> cattle <07716> among the sheep <03775>, and the
spotted <02921> and speckled <05348> among the goats <05795>: and
[of such] shall be my hire <07937>.
33 So shall my righteousness <06666> answer <06030> for me in
time
<03117> to come <04279>, when <03588> it shall come <0935> for my
hire <07937> before thy face <06440>: every <03605> one <03605>
that
[is] not speckled <05348> and spotted <02921> among the goats
<05795>, and brown <02345> among the sheep <03775>, that shall be
counted stolen <01589> with me.
34 And Laban <03837> said <0559>, Behold <02005>, I would
<03863>
it might be according to thy word <01697>.
35 And he removed <05493> that day <03117> the he goats <08495>
that were ringstraked <06124> and spotted <02921>, and all
<03605>
the she goats <05795> that were speckled <05348> and spotted
<02921>, [and] every <03605> one that had [some] white <03836> in
it, and all <03605> the brown <02345> among the sheep <03775>,
and
gave <05414> [them] into the hand <03027> of his sons <01121>.
36 And he set <07760> three <07969> days <03117>' journey
<01870>
betwixt <0996> himself and Jacob <03290>: and Jacob <03290> fed
<07462> the rest <03498> of Laban's <03837> flocks <06629>.
37. And Jacob <03290> took <03947> him rods <04731> of green
<03892> poplar <03839>, and of the hazel <03869> and chesnut
<06196>
tree; and pilled <06478> white <03836> strakes <06479> in them,
and
made the white <03836> appear <04286> which <0834> [was] in the
rods
<04731>.
38 And he set <03322> the rods <04731> which <0834> he had
pilled
<06478> before <05227> the flocks <06629> in the gutters <07298>
in
the watering <04325> troughs <08268> when <03588> the flocks
<06629>
came <0935> to drink <08354>, that they should conceive <03179>
when
they came <0935> to drink <08354>.
39 And the flocks <06629> conceived <03179> before <0413> the
rods
<04731>, and brought <03205> forth <03209> cattle <06629>
ringstraked <06124>, speckled <05348>, and spotted <02921>.
40 And Jacob <03290> did separate <06504> the lambs <03775>,
and
set <05414> the faces <06440> of the flocks <06629> toward <0413>
the ringstraked <06124>, and all <03605> the brown <02345> in the
flock <06629> of Laban <03837>; and he put <07896> his own flocks
<05739> by themselves <0905>, and put <07896> them not unto
Laban's
<03837> cattle <06629>.
41 And it came <01961> to pass, whensoever <03605> the stronger
<07194> cattle <06629> did conceive <03179>, that Jacob <03290>
laid
<07760> the rods <04731> before the eyes <05869> of the cattle
<06629> in the gutters <07298>, that they might conceive <03179>
among the rods <04731>.
42 But when the cattle <06629> were feeble <05848>, he put
<07760>
[them] not in: so the feebler <05848> were Laban's <03837>, and
the
stronger <07194> Jacob's <03290>.
43 And the man <0376> increased <06555> exceedingly <03966>,
and
had <01961> much <07227> cattle <06629>, and maidservants
<08198>,
and menservants <05650>, and camels <01581>, and asses <02543>.
Genesis 31
1. And he heard <08085> the words <01697> of Laban's <03837>
sons
<01121>, saying <0559>, Jacob <03290> hath taken <03947> away all
<03605> that [was] our father's <01>; and of [that] which <0834>
[was] our father's <01> hath he gotten <04069> all <03605> this
<02088> glory <03519>.
2 And Jacob <03290> beheld <07200> the countenance <06440> of
Laban <03837>, and, behold <02009>, it [was] not toward him as
before.
3 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Jacob <03290>, Return
<07725> unto the land <0776> of thy fathers <01>, and to thy
kindred
<04138>; and I will be with thee.
4 And Jacob <03290> sent <07971> and called <07121> Rachel
<07354>
and Leah <03812> to the field <07704> unto his flock <06629>,
5 And said <0559> unto them, I see <07200> your father's <01>
countenance <06440>, that it [is] not toward me as before; but
the
God <0430> of my father <01> hath been <01961> with me.
6 And ye know <03045> that with all <03605> my power <03581> I
have served <05647> your father <01>.
7 And your father <01> hath deceived <02048> me, and changed
<02498> my wages <04909> ten <06235> times <04489>; but God
<0430>
suffered <05414> him not to hurt <07489> me.
8 If <0518> he said <0559> thus <03541>, The speckled <05348>
shall be thy wages <07939>; then all <03605> the cattle <06629>
bare
<03205> speckled <05348>: and if <0518> he said <0559> thus
<03541>,
The ringstraked <06124> shall be thy hire <07937>; then bare
<03205>
all <03605> the cattle <06629> ringstraked <06124>.
9 Thus God <0430> hath taken <05337> away the cattle <04735> of
your father <01>, and given <05414> [them] to me.
10 And it came <01961> to pass at the time <06256> that the
cattle
<06629> conceived <03179>, that I lifted <05375> up mine eyes
<05869>, and saw <07200> in a dream <02472>, and, behold <02009>,
the rams <06260> which leaped <05927> upon the cattle <06629>
[were]
ringstraked <06124>, speckled <05348>, and grisled <01261>.
11 And the angel <04397> of God <0430> spake <0559> unto me in
a
dream <02472>, [saying], Jacob <03290>: And I said <0559>, Here
<02009> [am] I.
12 And he said <0559>, Lift <05375> up now <04994> thine eyes
<05869>, and see <07200>, all <03605> the rams <06260> which leap
<05927> upon the cattle <06629> [are] ringstraked <06124>,
speckled
<05348>, and grisled <01261>: for I have seen <07200> all <03605>
that Laban <03837> doeth <06213> unto thee.
13 I [am] the God <0410> of Bethel <01008>, where <0834> thou
anointedst <04886> the pillar <04676>, [and] where <0834> thou
vowedst <05087> a vow <05088> unto me: now <06258> arise <06965>,
get <03318> thee out from this <02063> land <0776>, and return
<07725> unto the land <0776> of thy kindred <04138>.
14 And Rachel <07354> and Leah <03812> answered <06030> and
said
<0559> unto him, [Is there] yet <05750> any portion <02506> or
inheritance <05159> for us in our father's <01> house <01004>?
15 Are we not counted <02803> of him strangers <05237>? for he
hath sold <04376> us, and hath quite devoured <0398> also <01571>
our money <03701>.
16 For all <03605> the riches <06239> which <0834> God <0430>
hath
taken <05337> from our father <01>, that [is] ours, and our
children's <01121>: now <06258> then, whatsoever God <0430> hath
said <0559> unto thee, do <06213>.
17. Then Jacob <03290> rose <06965> up, and set <05375> his sons
<01121> and his wives <0802> upon camels <01581>;
18 And he carried <05090> away all <03605> his cattle <04735>,
and
all <03605> his goods <07399> which <0834> he had gotten <07408>,
the cattle <04735> of his getting <07075>, which <0834> he had
gotten <07408> in Padanaram <06307>, for to go <0935> to Isaac
<03327> his father <01> in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>.
19 And Laban <03837> went <01980> to shear <01494> his sheep
<06629>: and Rachel <07354> had stolen <01589> the images <08655>
that [were] her father's <01>.
20 And Jacob <03290> stole <01589> away unawares to Laban
<03837>
the Syrian <0761>, in that he told <05046> him not that he fled
<01272>.
21 So he fled <01272> with all <03605> that he had; and he rose
<06965> up, and passed <05674> over <05674> the river <05104>,
and
set <07760> his face <06440> [toward] the mount <02022> Gilead
<01568>.
22 And it was told <05046> Laban <03837> on the third <07992>
day
<03117> that Jacob <03290> was fled <01272>.
23 And he took <03947> his brethren <0251> with him, and
pursued
<07291> after <0310> him seven <07651> days <03117>' journey
<01870>; and they overtook <01692> him in the mount <02022>
Gilead
<01568>.
24 And God <0430> came <0935> to Laban <03837> the Syrian
<0761>
in a dream <02472> by night <03915>, and said <0559> unto him,
Take
heed <08104> that thou speak <01696> not to Jacob <03290> either
good <02896> or <05704> bad <07451>.
25. Then Laban <03837> overtook <05381> Jacob <03290>. Now Jacob
<03290> had pitched <08628> his tent <0168> in the mount <02022>:
and Laban <03837> with his brethren <0251> pitched <08628> in the
mount <02022> of Gilead <01568>.
26 And Laban <03837> said <0559> to Jacob <03290>, What <04100>
hast thou done <06213>, that thou hast stolen <01589> away
unawares
to me, and carried <05090> away my daughters <01363>, as captives
<07617> [taken] with the sword <02719>?
27 Wherefore <04100> didst thou flee <01272> away secretly
<02244>, and steal <01589> away from me; and didst not tell
<05046>
me, that I might have sent <07971> thee away with mirth <08057>,
and
with songs <07892>, with tabret <08596>, and with harp <03658>?
28 And hast not suffered <05203> me to kiss <05401> my sons
<01121> and my daughters <01363>? thou hast now <06258> done
foolishly <05528> in [so] doing <06213>.
29 It is in the power <0410> of my hand <03027> to do <06213>
you
hurt <07451>: but the God <0430> of your father <01> spake <0559>
unto me yesternight <0570>, saying <0559>, Take thou heed <08104>
that thou speak <01696> not to Jacob <03290> either good <02896>
or
<05704> bad <07451>.
30 And now <06258>, [though] thou wouldest needs be gone
<01980>,
because <03588> thou sore longedst <03700> after thy father's
<01>
house <01004>, [yet] wherefore <04100> hast thou stolen <01589>
my
gods <0430>?
31 And Jacob <03290> answered <06030> and said <0559> to Laban
<03837>, Because <03588> I was afraid <03372>: for I said <0559>,
Peradventure <06435> thou wouldest take <01497> by force <01497>
thy
daughters <01363> from me.
32 With whomsoever <0834> thou findest <04672> thy gods <0430>,
let him not live <02421>: before <05048> our brethren <0251>
discern
<05234> thou what <04100> [is] thine with me, and take <03947>
[it]
to thee. For Jacob <03290> knew <03045> not that Rachel <07354>
had
stolen <01589> them.
33 And Laban <03837> went <0935> into Jacob's <03290> tent
<0168>,
and into Leah's <03812> tent <0168>, and into the two <08147>
maidservants <0519>' tents <0168>; but he found <04672> [them]
not.
Then went <03318> he out of Leah's <03812> tent <0168>, and
entered
<0935> into Rachel's <07354> tent <0168>.
34 Now Rachel <07354> had taken <03947> the images <08655>, and
put <07760> them in the camel's <01581> furniture <03733>, and
sat
<03427> upon them. And Laban <03837> searched <04959> all <03605>
the tent <0168>, but found <04672> [them] not.
35 And she said <0559> to her father <01>, Let it not displease
<02734> my lord <0113> that I cannot rise <06965> up before
<06440>
thee; for the custom <01870> of women <0802> [is] upon me. And he
searched <02664>, but found <04672> not the images <08655>.
36. And Jacob <03290> was wroth <02734>, and chode <07378> with
Laban <03837>: and Jacob <03290> answered <06030> and said
<0559> to
Laban <03837>, What <04100> [is] my trespass <06588>? what
<04100>
[is] my sin <02403>, that thou hast so hotly <01814> pursued
<01814>
after <0310> me?
37 Whereas <03588> thou hast searched <04959> all <03605> my
stuff
<03627>, what <04100> hast thou found <04672> of all <03605> thy
household <01004> stuff <03627>? set <07760> [it] here <03541>
before <05048> my brethren <0251> and thy brethren <0251>, that
they
may judge <03198> betwixt <0996> us both <08147>.
38 This <02088> twenty <06242> years <08141> [have] I [been]
with
thee; thy ewes <07353> and thy she goats <05795> have not cast
<07921> their young, and the rams <0352> of thy flock <06629>
have I
not eaten <0398>.
39 That which was torn <02966> [of beasts <02966>] I brought
<0935> not unto thee; I bare <02308> the loss <02398> of it; of
my
hand <03027> didst thou require <01245> it, [whether] stolen
<01589>
by day <03117>, or stolen <01589> by night <03915>.
40 [Thus] I was; in the day <03117> the drought <02721>
consumed
<0398> me, and the frost <07140> by night <03915>; and my sleep
<08142> departed <05074> from mine eyes <05869>.
41 Thus <02088> have I been twenty <06242> years <08141> in thy
house <01004>; I served <05647> thee fourteen years <08141> for
thy
two <08147> daughters <01363>, and six <08337> years <08141> for
thy
cattle <06629>: and thou hast changed <02498> my wages <04909>
ten
<06235> times <04489>.
42 Except <03884> the God <0430> of my father <01>, the God
<0430>
of Abraham <085>, and the fear <06343> of Isaac <03327>, had been
<01961> with me, surely <03588> thou hadst sent <07971> me away
now
<06258> empty <07387>. God <0430> hath seen <07200> mine
affliction
<06040> and the labour <03018> of my hands <03709>, and rebuked
<03198> [thee] yesternight <0570>.
43. And Laban <03837> answered <06030> and said <0559> unto
Jacob
<03290>, [These] daughters <01363> [are] my daughters <01363>,
and
[these] children <01121> [are] my children <01121>, and [these]
cattle <06629> [are] my cattle <06629>, and all <03605> that thou
seest <07200> [is] mine: and what <04100> can I do <06213> this
day
<03117> unto these my daughters <01363>, or <0176> unto their
children <01121> which <0834> they have born <03205>?
44 Now <06258> therefore come <03212> thou, let us make
<03772> a
covenant <01285>, I and thou; and let it be for a witness <05707>
between <0996> me and thee.
45 And Jacob <03290> took <03947> a stone <068>, and set
<07311>
it up [for] a pillar <04676>.
46 And Jacob <03290> said <0559> unto his brethren <0251>,
Gather
<03950> stones <068>; and they took <03947> stones <068>, and
made
<06213> an heap <01530>: and they did eat <0398> there <08033>
upon
the heap <01530>.
47 And Laban <03837> called <07121> it Jegarsahadutha <03026>:
but
Jacob <03290> called <07121> it Galeed <01567>.
48 And Laban <03837> said <0559>, This <02088> heap <01530>
[is] a
witness <05707> between <0996> me and thee this day <03117>.
Therefore was the name <08034> of it called <07121> Galeed
<01567>;
49 And Mizpah <04709>; for he said <0559>, The LORD <03068>
watch
<06822> between <0996> me and thee, when <03588> we are absent
<05641> one <0376> from another <07453>.
50 If <0518> thou shalt afflict <06031> my daughters <01363>,
or
if <0518> thou shalt take <03947> [other] wives <0802> beside
<05921> my daughters <01363>, no <03808> man <0376> [is] with us;
see <07200>, God <0430> [is] witness <05707> betwixt <0996> me
and
thee.
51 And Laban <03837> said <0559> to Jacob <03290>, Behold
<02009>
this <02088> heap <01530>, and behold <02009> [this] pillar
<04676>,
which <0834> I have cast <03384> betwixt <0996> me and thee;
52 This <02088> heap <01530> [be] witness <05707>, and [this
<02088>] pillar <04676> [be] witness <05711>, that I will not
pass
<05674> over <05674> this <02088> heap <01530> to thee, and that
thou shalt not pass <05674> over <05674> this <02088> heap
<01530>
and this <02063> pillar <04676> unto me, for harm <07451>.
53 The God <0430> of Abraham <085>, and the God <0430> of Nahor
<05152>, the God <0430> of their father <01>, judge <08199>
betwixt
<0996> us. And Jacob <03290> sware <07650> by the fear <06343> of
his father <01> Isaac <03327>.
54 Then Jacob <03290> offered <02076> sacrifice <02077> upon
the
mount <02022>, and called <07121> his brethren <0251> to eat
<0398>
bread <03899>: and they did eat <0398> bread <03899>, and tarried
<03885> all <03885> night in the mount <02022>.
55 And early <07925> in the morning <01242> Laban <03837> rose
<07925> up, and kissed <05401> his sons <01121> and his daughters
<01363>, and blessed <01288> them: and Laban <03837> departed
<03212>, and returned <07725> unto his place <04725>.
Genesis 32
1. And Jacob <03290> went <01980> on his way <01870>, and the
angels <04397> of God <0430> met <06293> him.
2 And when <0834> Jacob <03290> saw <07200> them, he said
<0559>,
This <02088> [is] God's <0430> host <04264>: and he called
<07121>
the name <08034> of that place <04725> Mahanaim <04266>.
3. And Jacob <03290> sent <07971> messengers <04397> before
<06440>
him to Esau <06215> his brother <0251> unto the land <0776> of
Seir
<08165>, the country <07704> of Edom <0123>.
4 And he commanded <06680> them, saying <0559>, Thus <03541>
shall
ye speak <0559> unto my lord <0113> Esau <06215>; Thy servant
<05650> Jacob <03290> saith <0559> thus <03541>, I have sojourned
<01481> with Laban <03837>, and stayed <0309> there until <05704>
now <06258>:
5 And I have <01961> oxen <07794>, and asses <02543>, flocks
<06629>, and menservants <05650>, and womenservants <08198>: and
I
have <01961> sent <07971> to tell <05046> my lord <0113>, that I
may
find <04672> grace <02580> in thy sight <05869>.
6 And the messengers <04397> returned <07725> to Jacob <03290>,
saying <0559>, We came <0935> to thy brother <0251> Esau <06215>,
and also <01571> he cometh <01980> to meet <07125> thee, and four
<0702> hundred <03967> men <0376> with him.
7 Then Jacob <03290> was greatly <03966> afraid <03372> and
distressed <03334>: and he divided <02673> the people <05971>
that
[was] with him, and the flocks <06629>, and herds <01241>, and
the
camels <01581>, into two <08147> bands <04264>;
8 And said <0559>, If <0518> Esau <06215> come <0935> to the
one
<0259> company <04264>, and smite <05221> it, then the other
company
<04264> which is left <07604> shall escape <06413>.
9. And Jacob <03290> said <0559>, O God <0430> of my father <01>
Abraham <085>, and God <0430> of my father <01> Isaac <03327>,
the
LORD <03068> which saidst <0559> unto me, Return <07725> unto thy
country <0776>, and to thy kindred <04138>, and I will deal well
<03190> with thee:
10 I am not worthy <06994> of the least <06994> of all <03605>
the
mercies <02617>, and of all <03605> the truth <0571>, which
<0834>
thou hast shewed <06213> unto thy servant <05650>; for with my
staff
<04731> I passed <05674> over <05674> this <02088> Jordan
<03383>;
and now <06258> I am become <01961> two <08147> bands <04264>.
11 Deliver <05337> me, I pray <04994> thee, from the hand
<03027>
of my brother <0251>, from the hand <03027> of Esau <06215>: for
I
fear <03373> him, lest <06435> he will come <0935> and smite
<05221>
me, [and] the mother <0517> with the children <01121>.
12 And thou saidst <0559>, I will surely do thee good <03190>,
and
make <07760> thy seed <02233> as the sand <02344> of the sea
<03220>, which <0834> cannot <03808> be numbered <05608> for
multitude <07230>.
13. And he lodged <03885> there <08033> that same <01931> night
<03915>; and took <03947> of that which came <0935> to his hand
<03027> a present <04503> for Esau <06215> his brother <0251>;
14 Two hundred <03967> she goats <05795>, and twenty <06242> he
goats <08495>, two hundred <03967> ewes <07353>, and twenty
<06242>
rams <0352>,
15 Thirty <07970> milch <03243> camels <01581> with their colts
<01121>, forty <0705> kine <06510>, and ten <06235> bulls
<06499>,
twenty <06242> she asses <0860>, and ten <06235> foals <05895>.
16 And he delivered <05414> [them] into the hand <03027> of his
servants <05650>, every drove <05739> by themselves <0905>; and
said
<0559> unto his servants <05650>, Pass <05674> over <05674>
before
<06440> me, and put <07760> a space <07305> betwixt <0996> drove
<05739> and drove <05739>.
17 And he commanded <06680> the foremost <07223>, saying
<0559>,
When <03588> Esau <06215> my brother <0251> meeteth <06298> thee,
and asketh <07592> thee, saying <0559>, Whose <04310> [art] thou?
and whither <0575> goest <03212> thou? and whose <04310> [are]
these
<0428> before <06440> thee?
18 Then thou shalt say <0559>, [They be] thy servant <05650>
Jacob's <03290>; it [is] a present <04503> sent <07971> unto my
lord
<0113> Esau <06215>: and, behold <02009>, also <01571> he [is]
behind <0310> us.
19 And so <01571> commanded <06680> he the second <08145>, and
the
third <07992>, and all <03605> that followed the droves <05739>,
saying <0559>, On this <02088> manner <01697> shall ye speak
<01696>
unto Esau <06215>, when ye find <04672> him.
20 And say <0559> ye moreover <01571>, Behold <02009>, thy
servant
<05650> Jacob <03290> [is] behind <0310> us. For he said <0559>,
I
will appease <06440> him with the present <04503> that goeth
<01980>
before <06440> me, and afterward I will see <07200> his face
<06440>; peradventure <0194> he will accept <05375> of me.
21 So went <05674> the present <04503> over <05674> before him:
and himself <01931> lodged <03885> that night <03915> in the
company
<04264>.
22 And he rose <06965> up that night <03915>, and took <03947>
his
two <08147> wives <0802>, and his two <08147> womenservants
<08198>,
and his eleven sons <03206>, and passed <05674> over <05674> the
ford <04569> Jabbok <02999>.
23 And he took <03947> them, and sent <05674> them over <05674>
the brook <05158>, and sent <05674> over <05674> that he had.
24. And Jacob <03290> was left <03498> alone <0905>; and there
wrestled <079> a man <0376> with him until <05704> the breaking
<05927> of the day <07837>.
25 And when he saw <07200> that he prevailed <03201> not
against
him, he touched <05060> the hollow <03709> of his thigh <03409>;
and
the hollow <03709> of Jacob's <03290> thigh <03409> was out of
joint
<03363>, as he wrestled <079> with him.
26 And he said <0559>, Let me go <07971>, for the day <07837>
breaketh <05927>. And he said <0559>, I will not let thee go
<07971>, except thou bless <01288> me.
27 And he said <0559> unto him, What <04100> [is] thy name
<08034>? And he said <0559>, Jacob <03290>.
28 And he said <0559>, Thy name <08034> shall be called <0559>
no
<03808> more <05750> Jacob <03290>, but Israel <03478>: for as a
prince hast thou power <08280> with God <0430> and with men
<0582>,
and hast prevailed <03201>.
29 And Jacob <03290> asked <07592> [him], and said <0559>, Tell
<05046> [me], I pray <04994> thee, thy name <08034>. And he said
<0559>, Wherefore <04100> [is] it [that] thou dost ask <07592>
after
my name <08034>? And he blessed <01288> him there <08033>.
30 And Jacob <03290> called <07121> the name <08034> of the
place
<04725> Peniel <06439>: for I have seen <07200> God <0430> face
<06440> to face <06440>, and my life <05315> is preserved
<05337>.
31 And as he passed <05674> over <05674> Penuel <06439> the sun
<08121> rose <02224> upon him, and he halted <06761> upon his
thigh
<03409>.
32 Therefore the children <01121> of Israel <03478> eat <0398>
not
[of] the sinew <01517> which shrank <05384>, which <0834> [is]
upon
the hollow <03709> of the thigh <03409>, unto this <02088> day
<03117>: because <03588> he touched <05060> the hollow <03709> of
Jacob's <03290> thigh <03409> in the sinew <01517> that shrank
<05384>.
Genesis 33
1. And Jacob <03290> lifted <05375> up his eyes <05869>, and
looked
<07200>, and, behold <02009>, Esau <06215> came <0935>, and with
him
four <0702> hundred <03967> men <0376>. And he divided <02673>
the
children <03206> unto Leah <03812>, and unto Rachel <07354>, and
unto the two <08147> handmaids <08198>.
2 And he put <07760> the handmaids <08198> and their children
<03206> foremost <07223>, and Leah <03812> and her children
<03206>
after <0314>, and Rachel <07354> and Joseph <03130> hindermost
<0314>.
3 And he passed <05674> over <05674> before <06440> them, and
bowed <07812> himself to the ground <0776> seven <07651> times
<06471>, until <05704> he came <05066> near <05066> to his
brother
<0251>.
4 And Esau <06215> ran <07323> to meet <07125> him, and
embraced
<02263> him, and fell <05307> on <05921> his neck <06677>, and
kissed <05401> him: and they wept <01058>.
5. And he lifted <05375> up his eyes <05869>, and saw <07200>
the
women <0802> and the children <03206>; and said <0559>, Who
<04310>
[are] those <0428> with thee? And he said <0559>, The children
<03206> which <0834> God <0430> hath graciously <02603> given
<02603> thy servant <05650>.
6 Then the handmaidens <08198> came <05066> near <05066>, they
and
their children <03206>, and they bowed <07812> themselves.
7 And Leah <03812> also <01571> with her children <03206> came
<05066> near <05066>, and bowed <07812> themselves: and after
<0310>
came <05066> Joseph <03130> near <05066> and Rachel <07354>, and
they bowed <07812> themselves.
8 And he said <0559>, What <04310> [meanest] thou by all
<03605>
this <02088> drove <04264> which <0834> I met <06298>? And he
said
<0559>, [These are] to find <04672> grace <02580> in the sight
<05869> of my lord <0113>.
9 And Esau <06215> said <0559>, I have <03426> enough <07227>,
my
brother <0251>; keep <01961> that thou hast unto thyself.
10 And Jacob <03290> said <0559>, Nay <0408>, I pray <04994>
thee,
if <0518> now <04994> I have found <04672> grace <02580> in thy
sight <05869>, then receive <03947> my present <04503> at my hand
<03027>: for therefore I have seen <07200> thy face <06440>, as
though I had seen <07200> the face <06440> of God <0430>, and
thou
wast pleased <07521> with me.
11 Take <03947>, I pray <04994> thee, my blessing <01293> that
is
brought <0935> to thee; because <03588> God <0430> hath dealt
graciously <02603> with me, and because <03588> I have <03426>
enough <03605>. And he urged <06484> him, and he took <03947>
[it].
12 And he said <0559>, Let us take our journey <05265>, and
let us
go <03212>, and I will go <03212> before <05048> thee.
13 And he said <0559> unto him, My lord <0113> knoweth <03045>
that the children <03206> [are] tender <07390>, and the flocks
<06629> and herds <01241> with young <05763> [are] with me: and
if
<0518> men should overdrive <01849> them one <0259> day <03117>,
all
<03605> the flock <06629> will die <04191>.
14 Let my lord <0113>, I pray <04994> thee, pass <05674> over
<05674> before <06440> his servant <05650>: and I will lead
<05095>
on softly <0328>, according <07272> as the cattle <04399> that
goeth
before <06440> me and the children <03206> be able <07272> to
endure
<07272>, until <05704> I come <0935> unto my lord <0113> unto
Seir
<08165>.
15 And Esau <06215> said <0559>, Let me now <04994> leave
<03322>
with thee [some] of the folk <05971> that [are] with me. And he
said
<0559>, What <04100> needeth it? let me find <04672> grace
<02580>
in the sight <05869> of my lord <0113>.
16. So Esau <06215> returned <07725> that day <03117> on his way
<01870> unto Seir <08165>.
17 And Jacob <03290> journeyed <05265> to Succoth <05523>, and
built <01129> him an house <01004>, and made <06213> booths
<05521>
for his cattle <04735>: therefore the name <08034> of the place
<04725> is called <07121> Succoth <05523>.
18 And Jacob <03290> came <0935> to Shalem <08003>, a city
<05892>
of Shechem <07927>, which <0834> [is] in the land <0776> of
Canaan
<03667>, when he came <0935> from Padanaram <06307>; and pitched
<02583> his tent before the city <05892>.
19 And he bought <07069> a parcel <02513> of a field <07704>,
where <0834> he had spread <05186> his tent <0168>, at the hand
<03027> of the children <01121> of Hamor <02544>, Shechem's
<07927>
father <01>, for an hundred <03967> pieces of money <07192>.
20 And he erected <05324> there <08033> an altar <04196>, and
called <07121> it Eleloheisrael <0415>.
Genesis 34
1. And Dinah <01783> the daughter <01323> of Leah <03812>, which
<0834> she bare <03205> unto Jacob <03290>, went <03318> out to
see
<07200> the daughters <01363> of the land <0776>.
2 And when Shechem <07927> the son <01121> of Hamor <02544> the
Hivite <02340>, prince <05387> of the country <0776>, saw <07200>
her, he took <03947> her, and lay <07901> with her, and defiled
<06031> her.
3 And his soul <05315> clave <01692> unto Dinah <01783> the
daughter <01323> of Jacob <03290>, and he loved <0157> the damsel
<05291>, and spake <01696> kindly unto the damsel <05291>.
4 And Shechem <07927> spake <0559> unto his father <01> Hamor
<02544>, saying <0559>, Get <03947> me this <02063> damsel
<03207>
to wife <0802>.
5 And Jacob <03290> heard <08085> that he had defiled <02930>
Dinah <01783> his daughter <01323>: now his sons <01121> were
with
his cattle <04735> in the field <07704>: and Jacob <03290> held
<02790> his peace <02790> until <05704> they were come <0935>.
6. And Hamor <02544> the father <01> of Shechem <07927> went
<03318> out unto Jacob <03290> to commune <01696> with him.
7 And the sons <01121> of Jacob <03290> came <0935> out of the
field <07704> when they heard <08085> [it]: and the men <0582>
were
grieved <06087>, and they were very <03966> wroth <02734>,
because
<03588> he had wrought <06213> folly <05039> in Israel <03478> in
lying <07901> with Jacob's <03290> daughter <01323>; which
<03651>
thing <03651> ought not to be done <06213>.
8 And Hamor <02544> communed <01696> with them, saying <0559>,
The
soul <05315> of my son <01121> Shechem <07927> longeth <02836>
for
your daughter <01323>: I pray <04994> you give <05414> her him to
wife <0802>.
9 And make ye marriages <02859> with us, [and] give <05414>
your
daughters <01363> unto us, and take <03947> our daughters <01363>
unto you.
10 And ye shall dwell <03427> with us: and the land <0776>
shall
be before <06440> you; dwell <03427> and trade <05503> ye
therein,
and get you possessions <0270> therein.
11 And Shechem <07927> said <0559> unto her father <01> and
unto
her brethren <0251>, Let me find <04672> grace <02580> in your
eyes
<05869>, and what <0834> ye shall say <0559> unto me I will give
<05414>.
12 Ask me never so much dowry <04119> and gift <04976>, and I
will
give <05414> according as ye shall say <0559> unto me: but give
<05414> me the damsel <05291> to wife <0802>.
13 And the sons <01121> of Jacob <03290> answered <06030>
Shechem
<07927> and Hamor <02544> his father <01> deceitfully <04820>,
and
said <01696>, because <0834> he had defiled <02930> Dinah <01783>
their sister <0269>:
14 And they said <0559> unto them, We cannot do <06213> this
<02088> thing <01697>, to give <05414> our sister <0269> to one
<0376> that is uncircumcised <06190>; for that [were] a reproach
<02781> unto us:
15 But in this <02063> will we consent <0225> unto you: If
<0518>
ye will be as we [be], that every <03605> male <02145> of you be
circumcised <04135>;
16 Then will we give <05414> our daughters <01363> unto you,
and
we will take <03947> your daughters <01363> to us, and we will
dwell
<03427> with you, and we will become <01961> one <0259> people
<05971>.
17 But if <0518> ye will not hearken <08085> unto us, to be
circumcised <04135>; then will we take <03947> our daughter
<01323>,
and we will be gone <01980>.
18. And their words <01697> pleased Hamor <02544>, and Shechem
<07927> Hamor's <02544> son <01121>.
19 And the young <05288> man deferred <0309> not to do <06213>
the
thing <01697>, because <03588> he had delight <02654> in Jacob's
<03290> daughter <01323>: and he [was] more <03513> honourable
<03513> than all <03605> the house <01004> of his father <01>.
20 And Hamor <02544> and Shechem <07927> his son <01121> came
<0935> unto the gate <08179> of their city <05892>, and communed
<01696> with the men <0582> of their city <05892>, saying <0559>,
21 These <0428> men <0582> [are] peaceable <08003> with us;
therefore let them dwell <03427> in the land <0776>, and trade
<05503> therein; for the land <0776>, behold <02009>, [it is]
large
<07342> enough <03027> for them; let us take <03947> their
daughters
<01363> to us for wives <0802>, and let us give <05414> them our
daughters <01363>.
22 Only <0389> herein <02063> will the men <0582> consent
<0225>
unto us for to dwell <03427> with us, to be one <0259> people
<05971>, if <0518> every <03605> male <02145> among us be
circumcised <04135>, as they [are] circumcised <04135>.
23 [Shall] not their cattle <04735> and their substance <07075>
and every <03605> beast <0929> of theirs [be] ours? only <0389>
let
us consent <0225> unto them, and they will dwell <03427> with us.
24 And unto Hamor <02544> and unto Shechem <07927> his son
<01121>
hearkened <08085> all <03605> that went <03318> out of the gate
<08179> of his city <05892>; and every <03605> male <02145> was
circumcised <04135>, all <03605> that went <03318> out of the
gate
<08179> of his city <05892>.
25. And it came <01961> to pass on the third <07992> day
<03117>,
when they were sore <03510>, that two <08147> of the sons
<01121> of
Jacob <03290>, Simeon <08095> and Levi <03878>, Dinah's <01783>
brethren <0251>, took <03947> each man <0376> his sword <02719>,
and
came <0935> upon the city <05892> boldly <0983>, and slew <02026>
all <03605> the males <02145>.
26 And they slew <02026> Hamor <02544> and Shechem <07927> his
son
<01121> with the edge <06310> of the sword <02719>, and took
<03947>
Dinah <01783> out of Shechem's <07927> house <01004>, and went
<03318> out.
27 The sons <01121> of Jacob <03290> came <0935> upon the slain
<02491>, and spoiled <0962> the city <05892>, because <0834> they
had defiled <02930> their sister <0269>.
28 They took <03947> their sheep <06629>, and their oxen
<01241>,
and their asses <02543>, and that which <0834> [was] in the city
<05892>, and that which <0834> [was] in the field <07704>,
29 And all <03605> their wealth <02428>, and all <03605> their
little <02945> ones, and their wives <0802> took they captive
<07617>, and spoiled <0962> even all <03605> that [was] in the
house
<01004>.
30 And Jacob <03290> said <0559> to Simeon <08095> and Levi
<03878>, Ye have troubled <05916> me to make me to stink <0887>
among the inhabitants <03427> of the land <0776>, among the
Canaanites <03669> and the Perizzites <06522>: and I [being] few
<04962> in number <04557>, they shall gather <0622> themselves
together against <05921> me, and slay <05221> me; and I shall be
destroyed <08045>, I and my house <01004>.
31 And they said <0559>, Should he deal <06213> with our sister
<0269> as with an harlot <02181>?
Genesis 35
1. And God <0430> said <0559> unto Jacob <03290>, Arise <06965>,
go
<05927> up to Bethel <01008>, and dwell <03427> there <08033>:
and
make <06213> there <08033> an altar <04196> unto God <0410>, that
appeared <07200> unto thee when thou fleddest <01272> from the
face
<06440> of Esau <06215> thy brother <0251>.
2 Then Jacob <03290> said <0559> unto his household <01004>,
and
to all <03605> that [were] with him, Put <05493> away the strange
<05236> gods <0430> that [are] among <08432> you, and be clean
<02891>, and change <02498> your garments <08071>:
3 And let us arise <06965>, and go <05927> up to Bethel
<01008>;
and I will make <06213> there <08033> an altar <04196> unto God
<0410>, who answered <06030> me in the day <03117> of my distress
<06869>, and was with me in the way <01870> which <0834> I went
<01980>.
4 And they gave <05414> unto Jacob <03290> all <03605> the
strange
<05236> gods <0430> which <0834> [were] in their hand <03027>,
and
[all their] earrings <05141> which <0834> [were] in their ears
<0241>; and Jacob <03290> hid <02934> them under <08478> the oak
<0424> which <0834> [was] by Shechem <07927>.
5 And they journeyed <05265>: and the terror <02847> of God
<0430>
was upon the cities <05892> that [were] round <05439> about them,
and they did not pursue <07291> after <0310> the sons <01121> of
Jacob <03290>.
6. So Jacob <03290> came <0935> to Luz <03870>, which <0834>
[is]
in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, that [is], Bethel <01008>,
he
and all <03605> the people <05971> that [were] with him.
7 And he built <01129> there <08033> an altar <04196>, and
called
<07121> the place <04725> Elbethel <0416>: because <03588> there
<08033> God <0430> appeared <01540> unto him, when he fled
<01272>
from the face <06440> of his brother <0251>.
8 But Deborah <01683> Rebekah's <07259> nurse <03243> died
<04191>, and she was buried <06912> beneath <08478> Bethel
<01008>
under <08478> an oak <0437>: and the name <08034> of it was
called
<07121> Allonbachuth <0439>.
9 And God <0430> appeared <07200> unto Jacob <03290> again
<05750>, when he came <0935> out of Padanaram <06307>, and
blessed
<01288> him.
10 And God <0430> said <0559> unto him, Thy name <08034> [is]
Jacob <03290>: thy name <08034> shall not be called <07121> any
<05750> more <05750> Jacob <03290>, but Israel <03478> shall be
thy
name <08034>: and he called <07121> his name <08034> Israel
<03478>.
11 And God <0430> said <0559> unto him, I [am] God <0410>
Almighty
<07706>: be fruitful <06509> and multiply <07235>; a nation
<01471>
and a company <06951> of nations <01471> shall be of thee, and
kings
<04428> shall come <03318> out of thy loins <02504>;
12 And the land <0776> which <0834> I gave <05414> Abraham
<085>
and Isaac <03327>, to thee I will give <05414> it, and to thy
seed
<02233> after <0310> thee will I give <05414> the land <0776>.
13 And God <0430> went <05927> up from him in the place <04725>
where <0834> he talked <01696> with him.
14 And Jacob <03290> set <05324> up a pillar <04676> in the
place
<04725> where <0834> he talked <01696> with him, [even] a pillar
<04678> of stone <068>: and he poured <05258> a drink <05262>
offering thereon <05921>, and he poured <03332> oil <08081>
thereon
<05921>.
15 And Jacob <03290> called <07121> the name <08034> of the
place
<04725> where <0834> God <0430> spake <01696> with him, Bethel
<01008>.
16. And they journeyed <05265> from Bethel <01008>; and there
was
but a little <03530> way <0776> to come <0935> to Ephrath <0672>:
and Rachel <07354> travailed <03205>, and she had hard <07185>
labour <03205>.
17 And it came <0935> to pass, when she was in hard <07185>
labour
<03205>, that the midwife <03205> said <0559> unto her, Fear
<03372>
not; thou shalt have this <02088> son <01121> also <01571>.
18 And it came <0935> to pass, as her soul <05315> was in
departing <03318>, (for she died <04191>) that she called <07121>
his name <08034> Benoni <01126>: but his father <01> called
<07121>
him Benjamin <01144>.
19 And Rachel <07354> died <04191>, and was buried <06912> in
the
way <01870> to Ephrath <0672>, which <01958> [is] Bethlehem
<01035>.
20 And Jacob <03290> set <05324> a pillar <04676> upon her
grave
<06900>: that [is] the pillar <04678> of Rachel's <07354> grave
<06900> unto this day <03117>.
21. And Israel <03478> journeyed <05265>, and spread <05186> his
tent <0168> beyond <01973> the tower <04026> of Edar <05740>.
22 And it came <01961> to pass, when Israel <03478> dwelt
<07931>
in that land <0776>, that Reuben <07205> went <03212> and lay
<07901> with Bilhah <01090> his father's <01> concubine <06370>:
and
Israel <03478> heard <08085> [it]. Now the sons <01121> of Jacob
<03290> were twelve:
23 The sons <01121> of Leah <03812>; Reuben <07205>, Jacob's
<03290> firstborn <01060>, and Simeon <08095>, and Levi <03878>,
and
Judah <03063>, and Issachar <03485>, and Zebulun <02074>:
24 The sons <01121> of Rachel <07354>; Joseph <03130>, and
Benjamin <01144>:
25 And the sons <01121> of Bilhah <01090>, Rachel's <07354>
handmaid <08198>; Dan <01835>, and Naphtali <05321>:
26 And the sons <01121> of Zilpah <02153>, Leah's <03812>
handmaid
<08198>; Gad <01410>, and Asher <0836>: these <0428> [are] the
sons
<01121> of Jacob <03290>, which <0834> were born <03205> to him
in
Padanaram <06307>.
27 And Jacob <03290> came <0935> unto Isaac <03327> his father
<01> unto Mamre <04471>, unto the city <07151> of Arbah <0704>,
which <0834> [is] Hebron <02275>, where <0834> Abraham <085> and
Isaac <03327> sojourned <01481>.
28 And the days <03117> of Isaac <03327> were an hundred
<03967>
and fourscore <08084> years <08141>.
29 And Isaac <03327> gave up the ghost <01478>, and died
<04191>,
and was gathered <0622> unto his people <05971>, [being] old
<02205>
and full <07649> of days <03117>: and his sons <01121> Esau
<06215>
and Jacob <03290> buried <06912> him.
Genesis 36
1. Now these <0428> [are] the generations <08435> of Esau
<06215>,
who <01931> [is] Edom <0123>.
2 Esau <06215> took <03947> his wives <0802> of the daughters
<01363> of Canaan <03667>; Adah <05711> the daughter <01323> of
Elon
<0356> the Hittite <02850>, and Aholibamah <0173> the daughter
<01323> of Anah <06034> the daughter <01323> of Zibeon <06649>
the
Hivite <02340>;
3 And Bashemath <01315> Ishmael's <03458> daughter <01323>,
sister
<0269> of Nebajoth <05032>.
4 And Adah <05711> bare <03205> to Esau <06215> Eliphaz <0464>;
and Bashemath <01315> bare <03205> Reuel <07467>;
5 And Aholibamah <0173> bare <03205> Jeush <03266>, and Jaalam
<03281>, and Korah <07141>: these <0428> [are] the sons <01121>
of
Esau <06215>, which <0834> were born <03205> unto him in the land
<0776> of Canaan <03667>.
6 And Esau <06215> took <03947> his wives <0802>, and his sons
<01121>, and his daughters <01363>, and all <03605> the persons
<05315> of his house <01004>, and his cattle <04735>, and all
<03605> his beasts <0929>, and all <03605> his substance <07075>,
which <0834> he had got <07408> in the land <0776> of Canaan
<03667>; and went <03212> into <0413> the country <0776> from the
face <06440> of his brother <0251> Jacob <03290>.
7 For their riches <07399> were more <07227> than that they
might
dwell <03427> together <03162>; and the land <0776> wherein they
were strangers <04033> could <03201> not bear <05375> them
because
<06440> of their cattle <04735>.
8 Thus dwelt <03427> Esau <06215> in mount <02022> Seir
<08165>:
Esau <06215> [is] Edom <0123>.
9. And these <0428> [are] the generations <08435> of Esau

<0464>
Amalek <06002>: these <0428> [were] the sons <01121> of Adah
<05711>

<06215> Jeush <03266>, and Jaalam <03281>, and Korah <07141>.
15 These <0428> [were] dukes <0441> of the sons <01121> of Esau

<04427> any king <04428> over the children <01121> of Israel
<03478>.
32 And Bela <01106> the son <01121> of Beor <01160> reigned
<04427> in Edom <0123>: and the name <08034> of his city <05892>
[was] Dinhabah <01838>.
33 And Bela <01106> died <04191>, and Jobab <03103> the son
<01121> of Zerah <02226> of Bozrah <01224> reigned <04427> in his
stead <08478>.
34 And Jobab <03103> died <04191>, and Husham <02367> of the
land
<0776> of Temani <08489> reigned <04427> in his stead <08478>.
35 And Husham <02367> died <04191>, and Hadad <01908> the son
<01121> of Bedad <0911>, who smote <05221> Midian <04080> in the
field <07704> of Moab <04124>, reigned <04427> in his stead
<08478>:
and the name <08034> of his city <05892> [was] Avith <05762>.
36 And Hadad <01908> died <04191>, and Samlah <08072> of
Masrekah
<04957> reigned <04427> in his stead <08478>.
37 And Samlah <08072> died <04191>, and Saul <07586> of
Rehoboth
<07344> [by] the river <05104> reigned <04427> in his stead
<08478>.
38 And Saul <07586> died <04191>, and Baalhanan <01177> the son
<01121> of Achbor <05907> reigned <04427> in his stead <08478>.
39 And Baalhanan <01177> the son <01121> of Achbor <05907> died
<04191>, and Hadar <01924> reigned <04427> in his stead <08478>:
and
the name <08034> of his city <05892> [was] Pau <06464>; and his
wife's <0802> name <08034> [was] Mehetabel <04105>, the daughter
<01323> of Matred <04308>, the daughter <01323> of Mezahab
<04314>.
40 And these <0428> [are] the names <08034> of the dukes <0441>
[that came] of Esau <06215>, according to their families <04940>,
after their places <04725>, by their names <08034>; duke <0441>
Timnah <08555>, duke <0441> Alvah <05933>, duke <0441> Jetheth
<03509>,
41 Duke <0441> Aholibamah <0173>, duke <0441> Elah <0425>, duke
<0441> Pinon <06373>,
42 Duke <0441> Kenaz <07073>, duke <0441> Teman <08487>, duke
<0441> Mibzar <04014>,
43 Duke <0441> Magdiel <04025>, duke <0441> Iram <05902>: these
<0428> [be] the dukes <0441> of Edom <0123>, according to their
habitations <04186> in the land <0776> of their possession
<0272>:
he [is] Esau <06215> the father <01> of the Edomites <0130>.
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>

were born <03205> Manasseh <04519> and Ephraim <0669>, which

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>.
