\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}At
the
first
God made
the
heaven
and
the
earth.
\VS{2}And
the
earth
was
waste
and without
form;
and
it
was
dark
on
the
face
of
the
deep:
and
the
Spirit
of
God
was moving
on
the
face
of
the
waters.
\VS{3}And
God
said,
Let
there
be
light:
and
there
was
light.
\VS{4}And
God,
looking
on
the
light,
saw
that
it
was
good:
and
God
made
a division
between
the
light
and
the
dark,
\VS{5}Naming
the
light,
Day,
and
the
dark,
Night.
And
there
was
evening
and
there
was
morning,
the
first
day.
\VS{6}And
God
said,
Let
there
be
a solid arch stretching
over
the
waters, parting
the
waters
from
the
waters.
\VS{7}And
God
made
the arch
for
a division
between
the
waters
which
were
under
the arch
and
those
which
were
over
it:
and
it
was
so.
\VS{8}And
God
gave
the arch
the
name
of
Heaven.
And
there
was
evening
and
there
was
morning,
the
second
day.
\VS{9}And
God
said,
Let
the
waters
under
the
heaven
come
together
in
one
place,
and
let
the
dry
land
be
seen:
and
it
was
so.
\VS{10}And
God
gave
the
dry
land
the
name
of
Earth;
and
the
waters
together
in
their
place
were
named
Seas:
and
God
saw
that
it
was
good.
\VS{11}And
God
said,
Let
grass
come
up
on
the
earth,
and
plants producing
seed,
and fruit-trees giving
fruit,
in
which
is
their
seed,
after
their sort:
and
it
was
so.
\VS{12}And
grass
came
up
on
the
earth,
and every
plant producing
seed
of
its sort,
and every
tree producing
fruit,
in
which
is
its
seed,
of
its sort:
and
God
saw
that
it
was
good.
\VS{13}And
there
was
evening
and
there
was
morning,
the
third
day.
\VS{14}And
God
said,
Let
there
be
lights
in
the arch
of
heaven,
for
a division
between
the
day
and
the
night,
and
let
them
be
for
signs,
and
for marking
the changes
of
the
year,
and
for
days
and
for
years:
\VS{15}And
let
them
be
for
lights
in
the arch
of
heaven
to
give
light
on
the
earth:
and
it
was
so.
\VS{16}And
God
made
the
two
great
lights:
the
greater
light
to
be
the ruler
of
the
day,
and
the smaller
light
to
be
the ruler
of
the
night:
and
he
made
the
stars.
\VS{17}And
God
put
them
in
the arch
of
heaven,
to
give
light
on
the
earth;
\VS{18}To
have
rule
over
the
day
and
the
night,
and
for
a division
between
the
light
and
the
dark:
and
God
saw
that
it
was
good.
\VS{19}And
there
was
evening
and
there
was
morning,
the
fourth
day.
\VS{20}And
God
said,
Let
the
waters
be full
of
living
things,
and
let
birds
be
in flight
over
the
earth
under
the arch
of
heaven.
\VS{21}And
God
made
great sea-beasts,
and
every sort
of
living
and moving
thing
with
which
the
waters
were
full,
and
every sort
of
winged
bird:
and
God
saw
that
it
was
good.
\VS{22}And
God
gave
them
his
blessing,
saying,
Be fertile
and
have
increase, making
all
the
waters
of
the
seas
full,
and let
the
birds
be
increased
in
the
earth.
\VS{23}And
there
was
evening
and
there
was
morning,
the
fifth
day.
\VS{24}And
God
said,
Let
the
earth
give birth
to all sorts
of
living
things,
cattle
and all
things
moving
on
the
earth,
and
beasts
of
the
earth
after
their sort:
and
it
was
so.
\VS{25}And
God
made
the
beast
of
the
earth
after
its sort,
and
the
cattle
after
their sort,
and
everything
moving
on
the
face
of
the
earth
after
its sort:
and
God
saw
that
it
was
good.
\VS{26}And
God
said, Let
us
make
man
in
our
image,
like
us:
and let
him
have
rule
over
the
fish
of
the
sea
and
over
the
birds
of
the air
and
over
the
cattle
and
over
all
the
earth
and
over
every living
thing
which goes flat
on
the
earth.
\VS{27}And
God made
man
in
his
image,
in
the
image
of
God
he made
him:
male
and
female
he made
them.
\VS{28}And
God
gave
them
his
blessing
and
said
to
them,
Be fertile
and
have
increase,
and
make
the
earth
full
and
be masters
of
it;
be
rulers
over
the
fish
of
the
sea
and
over
the
birds
of
the air
and
over
every
living
thing moving
on
the
earth.
\VS{29}And
God
said,
See,
I
have
given
you
every
plant producing
seed,
on
the
face
of
all
the
earth,
and
every
tree
which
has
fruit producing
seed:
they
will
be
for
your
food:
\VS{30}And
to
every
beast
of
the
earth
and
to
every
bird
of
the air
and
every
living
thing moving
on
the face
of
the
earth
I
have given
every
green
plant
for
food:
and
it
was
so.
\VS{31}And
God
saw
everything
which
he
had
made
and
it
was
very
good.
And
there
was
evening
and
there
was
morning,
the
sixth
day.

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
heaven
and
the
earth
and
all
things
in
them
were
complete.
\VS{2}And
on
the
seventh
day
God
came
to
the
end
of
all
his
work;
and
on
the
seventh
day
he took
his rest
from
all
the
work
which
he
had
done.
\VS{3}And
God
gave
his
blessing
to
the
seventh
day
and
made
it
holy:
because
on
that
day
he
took
his rest
from
all
the
work
which
he
had
made
and
done.
\VS{4}These
are
the
generations
of
the
heaven
and
the
earth
when
they
were
made.
\VS{5}In
the day
when
the
Lord
God
made
earth
and heaven
there
were
no
plants
of
the
field
on
the
earth,
and
no
grass
had
come
up:
for
the
Lord
God
had
not
sent
rain
on
the
earth
and
there
was
no
man
to
do
work
on
the
land.
\VS{6}But
a
mist
went
up
from
the
earth,
watering
all
the
face
of
the
land.
\VS{7}And
the
Lord
God
made
man
from
the
dust
of
the
earth,
breathing
into
him
the
breath
of
life:
and
man
became
a
living
soul.
\VS{8}And
the
Lord
God
made
a
garden
in
the
east,
in
Eden;
and
there
he
put
the
man
whom
he
had
made.
\VS{9}And
out
of
the
earth
the
Lord
made
every
tree
to come, delighting
the eye
and
good
for
food;
and
in
the
middle
of
the
garden,
the
tree
of
life
and
the
tree
of
the
knowledge
of
good
and
evil.
\VS{10}And
a
river
went
out
of
Eden
giving
water
to
the
garden;
and
from
there
it
was
parted
and
became
four
streams.
\VS{11}The
name
of
the
first
is
Pishon,
which goes
round
about
all
the
land
of
Havilah
where
there
is
gold.
\VS{12}And
the
gold
of
that
land
is
good:
there
is
bdellium
and
the
onyx
stone.
\VS{13}And
the
name
of
the
second
river
is
Gihon:
this
river goes
round
all
the
land
of
Cush.
\VS{14}And
the
name
of
the
third
river
is
Tigris,
which
goes
to
the
east
of
Assyria.
And
the
fourth
river
is
Euphrates.
\VS{15}And
the
Lord
God
took
the
man
and
put
him
in
the
garden
of
Eden
to
do
work
in
it
and
take
care
of
it.
\VS{16}And
the
Lord
God
gave
the
man
orders,
saying,
You
may
freely take
of
the
fruit
of
every
tree
of
the
garden:
\VS{17}But
of
the
fruit
of
the
tree
of
the
knowledge
of
good
and
evil
you
may
not take;
for
on
the
day
when
you take
of
it,
death
will
certainly come
to
you.
\VS{18}And
the
Lord
God
said,
It
is
not
good
for
the
man
to
be
by
himself:
I
will
make
one
like
himself
as
a
help
to
him
\VS{19}And
from
the
earth
the
Lord
God
made
every
beast
of
the
field
and
every
bird
of
the air,
and
took
them
to
the
man
to
see
what
names
he
would
give
them:
and
whatever
name
he
gave
to
any
living
thing,
that
was
its
name.
\VS{20}And
the
man
gave
names
to
all
cattle
and
to
the
birds
of
the air
and
to
every
beast
of
the
field;
but Adam
had
no
one
like
himself
as
a
help.
\VS{21}And
the
Lord
God
sent
a
deep
sleep
on
the
man,
and
took
one
of
the bones
from
his
side
while
he
was sleeping, joining
up
the
flesh again
in
its
place:
\VS{22}And
the bone
which
the
Lord
God
had
taken
from
the
man
he
made
into
a
woman,
and
took
her
to
the
man.
\VS{23}And
the
man
said,
This
is
now
bone
of
my
bone
and
flesh
of
my
flesh:
let
her
name
be
Woman
because
she
was
taken
out
of
Man.
\VS{24}For
this
cause
will
a
man
go away
from
his
father
and
his
mother
and
be
joined
to
his
wife;
and
they
will
be
one
flesh.
\VS{25}And
the
man
and
his
wife
were
without clothing,
and
they
had
no sense
of
shame.

\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
the
snake
was wiser
than
any
beast
of
the
field
which
the
Lord
God
had
made.
And
he
said
to
the
woman,
Has
God
truly
said
that
you
may
not
take
of
the
fruit
of
any
tree
in
the
garden?
\VS{2}And
the
woman
said, We
may take
of
the
fruit
of
the
trees
in
the
garden:
\VS{3}But
of
the
fruit
of
the
tree
in
the
middle
of
the
garden,
God
has
said,
If
you take
of
it
or
put
your hands
on
it,
death
will
come
to
you.
\VS{4}And
the
snake
said,
Death
will
not
certainly come
to
you:
\VS{5}For
God sees
that
on
the
day
when
you
take
of
its
fruit,
your
eyes
will
be
open,
and
you
will
be
as
gods,
having
knowledge
of
good
and
evil.
\VS{6}And
when
the
woman
saw
that
the
tree
was
good
for
food,
and
a
delight
to
the
eyes,
and
to
be
desired
to
make
one
wise,
she
took
of
its
fruit,
and
gave
it
to
her
husband.
\VS{7}And
their
eyes
were
open
and
they
were conscious
that
they
had no clothing
and
they
made
themselves coats
of
leaves stitched
together.
\VS{8}And
there
came
to
them
the
sound
of
the
Lord
God
walking
in
the
garden
in
the evening
wind:
and
the
man
and
his
wife
went
to
a secret place
among
the
trees
of
the
garden,
away
from
the eyes
of
the
Lord
God.
\VS{9}And
the voice
of
the
Lord
God
came
to
the
man,
saying,
Where
are
you?
\VS{10}And
he
said,
Hearing
your
voice
in
the
garden
I
was full
of
fear,
because
I
was without clothing:
and
I kept
myself
from
your eyes.
\VS{11}And
he
said,
Who
gave
you
the knowledge
that
you
were
without clothing?
Have
you taken
of
the
fruit
of
the
tree
which
I
said
you
were
not
to take?
\VS{12}And
the
man
said,
The
woman
whom
you
gave
to
be
with
me,
she
gave
me
the
fruit
of
the
tree
and
I
took
it.
\VS{13}And
the
Lord
God
said
to
the
woman,
What
have
you
done?
And
the
woman
said,
I
was
tricked
by
the deceit
of
the
snake
and
I
took
it.
\VS{14}And
the
Lord
God
said
to
the
snake,
Because
you
have
done
this
you
are
cursed
more
than
all
cattle
and
every
beast
of
the
field;
you
will go flat
on
the
earth,
and
dust
will
be
your
food
all
the
days
of
your
life:
\VS{15}And there
will
be war
between
you
and
the
woman
and
between
your
seed
and
her
seed:
by
him
will
your
head
be crushed
and
by
you
his foot
will
be wounded.
\VS{16}To
the
woman
he
said, Great
will
be
your
pain
in
childbirth;
in sorrow
will
your
children come
to
birth;
still
your
desire
will
be
for
your
husband,
but
he
will
be
your
master.
\VS{17}And
to
Adam
he
said,
Because
you
gave ear
to
the
voice
of
your
wife
and
took
of
the
fruit
of
the
tree
which
I
said
you
were
not
to take,
the
earth
is
cursed
on
your
account;
in
pain
you
will get
your
food
from
it
all
your
life.
\VS{18}Thorns
and waste
plants
will come
up,
and
the
plants
of
the
field
will be
your
food;
\VS{19}With
the hard work
of
your hands
you
will
get
your
bread
till
you
go
back
to
the
earth
from
which
you
were
taken:
for
dust
you
are
and
to
the
dust
you
will
go
back.
\VS{20}And
the
man
gave
his
wife
the
name
of
Eve
because
she
was
the
mother
of
all
who
have
life.
\VS{21}And
the
Lord
God
made
for Adam
and
for
his
wife coats
of
skins
for
their
clothing.
\VS{22}And
the
Lord
God
said,
Now
the
man
has
become
like
one
of
us,
having
knowledge
of
good
and
evil;
and
now
if
he
puts
out
his
hand
and
takes
of
the
fruit
of
the
tree
of
life,
he
will
go
on
living
for
ever.
\VS{23}So
the
Lord
God
sent
him
out
of
the
garden
of
Eden
to
be
a worker
on
the
earth
from
which
he
was
taken.
\VS{24}So
he sent
the
man
out;
and
at
the
east
of
the
garden
of
Eden
he put winged ones
and
a flaming
sword
turning every
way
to
keep
the
way
to
the
tree
of
life.

\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
man
had connection
with
Eve
his
wife,
and she
became
with
child
and
gave
birth
to
Cain,
and
said,
I
have got
a
man
from
the
Lord.
\VS{2}Then
again she
became
with
child
and
gave
birth
to
Abel,
his
brother.
And
Abel
was
a keeper
of
sheep,
but
Cain
was
a
farmer.
\VS{3}And
after
a
time,
Cain
gave
to
the
Lord
an
offering
of
the
fruits
of
the
earth.
\VS{4}And
Abel
gave
an
offering
of
the young
lambs
of
his
flock
and
of
their
fat.
And
the
Lord
was
pleased
with Abel's
offering;
\VS{5}But
in
Cain
and
his
offering
he
had
no pleasure.
And
Cain
was
angry
and
his
face
became sad.
\VS{6}And
the
Lord
said
to
Cain,
Why
are
you
angry?
and
why
is
your
face sad?
\VS{7}If
you
do
well,
will
you
not
have honour?
and
if
you
do wrong,
sin
is waiting
at
the
door, desiring
to
have
you,
but
do
not
let
it
be
your
master.
\VS{8}And
Cain
said
to
his
brother,
Let
us
go
into
the
field:
and
when
they
were
in
the
field,
Cain
made
an
attack
on
his
brother
Abel
and put
him
to death.
\VS{9}And
the
Lord
said
to
Cain,
Where
is
your
brother
Abel?
And
he
said,
I
have
no idea:
am
I
my brother's
keeper?
\VS{10}And
he
said,
What
have
you
done?
the
voice
of
your brother's
blood
is
crying
to
me
from
the
earth.
\VS{11}And
now
you
are
cursed
from
the
earth,
whose
mouth
is
open
to
take
your brother's
blood
from
your
hand;
\VS{12}No
longer
will
the
earth
give
you
her fruit
as
the reward
of
your
work;
you
will
be
a
wanderer
in flight
over
the
earth.
\VS{13}And
Cain
said,
My
punishment
is
greater
than
my strength.
\VS{14}You
have sent
me
out
this
day
from
the
face
of
the
earth
and
from
before
your
face;
I
will
be
a
wanderer
in flight
over
the
earth,
and
whoever sees
me
will put
me
to death.
\VS{15}And
the
Lord
said, Truly,
if
Cain
is
put
to death,
seven lives
will
be
taken
for
his.
And
the
Lord
put
a
mark
on
Cain
so
that
no
one
might
put
him
to death.
\VS{16}And
Cain
went
away
from
before
the
face
of
the
Lord,
and made
his living-place
in
the
land
of
Nod
on
the
east
of
Eden.
\VS{17}And
Cain
had connection
with
his
wife
and
she
became
with
child
and
gave
birth
to
Enoch:
and
he
made
a
town,
and
gave
the
town
the
name
of
Enoch
after
his
son.
\VS{18}And
Enoch
had
a son
Irad:
and
Irad
became
the
father
of
Mehujael:
and
Mehujael
became
the
father
of
Methushael:
and
Methushael
became
the
father
of
Lamech.
\VS{19}And
Lamech
had
two
wives;
the
name
of
the
one
was
Adah,
and
the
name
of
the
other
Zillah.
\VS{20}And
Adah
gave
birth
to
Jabal:
he
was
the
father
of
such
as
are
living
in
tents
and keep
cattle.
\VS{21}And
his brother's
name
was
Jubal:
he
was
the
father
of
all players
on instruments
of music.
\VS{22}And
Zillah
gave
birth
to
Tubal-cain,
who
is
the
father
of
every maker
of cutting instruments
of
brass
and
iron:
and
the
sister
of
Tubal-cain
was
Naamah.
\VS{23}And
Lamech
said
to
his
wives,
Adah
and
Zillah,
give
ear
to
my
voice;
you
wives
of
Lamech,
give
attention
to
my
words,
for
I
would put
a
man
to death
for
a
wound,
and
a
young
man
for
a blow;
\VS{24}If
seven lives are
to
be
taken
as punishment
for Cain's death,
seventy-seven will
be
taken
for Lamech's.
\VS{25}And
Adam
had connection
with
his
wife
again,
and
she
gave
birth
to
a
son
to
whom
she
gave
the
name
of
Seth:
for
she said,
God
has
given
me
another
seed
in
place
of
Abel,
whom
Cain
put
to death.
\VS{26}And
Seth
had
a
son,
and
he
gave
him
the
name
of
Enosh:
at
this
time
men
first
made
use
of
the
name
of
the
Lord
in
worship.

\par }\Chap{6}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
after
a
time,
when
men
were increasing
on
the
earth,
and
had
daughters,
\VS{2}The
sons
of
God
saw
that
the
daughters
of
men
were fair;
and
they
took
wives
for
themselves
from
those
who
were pleasing
to
them.
\VS{3}And
the
Lord
said,
My
spirit
will
not
be
in
man
for
ever,
for
he
is
only
flesh;
so
the
days
of
his
life
will
be
a
hundred
and
twenty
years.
\VS{4}There
were
men
of
great strength
and size
on
the
earth
in
those
days;
and
after
that,
when
the
sons
of
God
had connection
with
the
daughters
of
men,
they
gave
birth
to
children:
these
were
the
great
men
of
old
days,
the
men
of
great
name.
\VS{5}And
the
Lord
saw
that
the sin
of
man
was
great
on
the
earth,
and
that
all
the
thoughts
of
his
heart
were
evil.
\VS{6}And
the
Lord
had sorrow
because
he
had
made
man
on
the
earth,
and grief
was
in
his
heart.
\VS{7}And
the
Lord
said,
I
will take away
man,
whom
I
have
made,
from
the
face
of
the
earth,
even
man
and
beast
and
that
which
goes
on

bird
of
the air;
for
I
have
sorrow
for
having
made
them.
\VS{8}But
Noah
had
grace
in
the
eyes
of
God.
\VS{9}These
are
the
generations
of
Noah.
Noah
was
an upright
man
and
without sin
in
his
generation:
he
went
in
the ways
of
God.
\VS{10}And
Noah
had
three
sons,
Shem,
Ham,
and
Japheth.
\VS{11}And
the
earth
was evil
in God's eyes
and
full
of
violent ways.
\VS{12}And
God,
looking
on
the
earth,
saw
that
it
was evil:
for
the
way
of
all
flesh
had
become evil
on
the
earth.
\VS{13}And
God
said
to
Noah,
The
end
of
all
flesh
has
come;
the
earth
is
full
of
their
violent doings,
and
now
I
will
put
an
end
to
them
with
the
earth.
\VS{14}Make
for
yourself an
ark
of
gopher
wood
with
rooms
in
it,
and
make
it safe
from
the water
inside
and
out.
\VS{15}And
this
is
the
way
you
are
to
make
it:
it
is
to be
three
hundred
cubits
long,
fifty
cubits
wide,
and
thirty
cubits
high.
\VS{16}You
are
to
put
a window
in
the
ark,
a
cubit
from
the roof,
and
a
door
in
the
side
of
it,
and
you
are
to
make
it
with
a
lower
and
second
and
third floors.
\VS{17}For truly,
I
will send
a great
flow
of
waters
over
the
earth,
for
the
destruction
from
under
the
heaven
of
all
flesh
in
which
is
the
breath
of
life;
everything
on
the
earth
will
come
to
an end.
\VS{18}But
with
you
I
will
make
an
agreement;
and
you
will
come
into
the
ark,
you
and
your
sons
and
your
wife
and
your sons'
wives
with
you.
\VS{19}And
you
will
take
with
you
into
the
ark
two
of
every sort
of
living
thing,
and
keep
them safe
with
you;
they
will
be
male
and
female.
\VS{20}Two
of
every sort
of
bird
and
cattle
and
of
every sort
of living
thing
which
goes
on

will
you
take
with
you
to
keep
them
from destruction.

make
a store
of
every sort
of
food
for
yourself
and
them.

all
these
things
Noah
did;
as
God
said,
so
he
did.

the
Lord
said
to
Noah,
Take
all
your
family
and
go
into

ark,
for
you
only
in
this
generation
have
I
seen
to
be upright.
\VS{2}Of
every
clean

you
will
take
seven males
and
seven females,

not
clean,
two,

male

his
female;

seven
males

seven females,
so
that
their
seed
may
still
be living
on

face

the
earth.
\VS{4}For
after
seven

I
will
send

on

for
forty
days
and
forty
nights,
for
the destruction
of

which
I
have
made
on

Noah
did
everything
which
the
Lord said
he
was
to
do.
\VS{6}And
Noah
was
six
hundred
years
old
when
the
waters
came
flowing
over all
the
earth.
\VS{7}And
Noah,
with
his
sons
and
his
wife
and
his sons'
wives,
went
into
the
ark
because
of
the
flowing
of
the
waters.
\VS{8}Of
clean
beasts,
and
of
beasts
which
are
not
clean,
and
of
birds,
and
of
everything
which goes
on
the
earth,
\VS{9}In
twos,
male
and
female,
they
went
into
the
ark
with
Noah,
as
God
had
said.
\VS{10}And
after
the
seven
days,
the
waters
came
over
all
the

\VS{11}In

six
hundredth

came bursting
through,

were
open;

came
down
on

for
forty
days
and
forty

the
same
day
Noah,
with
Shem,
Ham,
and

with

which goes
on

of

went
with

and
two
of
all
flesh
in
which
is
the
breath
of

\VS{16}Male
and
female
of
all
flesh
went
in,
as
God
had said,
and
the ark
was
shut
by
the
Lord.
\VS{17}And
for
forty
days
the
waters
were
over
all
the
earth;
and
the
waters
were
increased
so
that
the
ark
was
lifted
up
high
over
the
earth.
\VS{18}And
the
waters overcame everything
and
were
increased
greatly
on
the
earth,
and
the
ark
was resting
on
the
face
of
the
waters.
\VS{19}And
the
waters overcame
everything
on
the
earth;
and
all
the
mountains
under
heaven
were
covered.
\VS{20}The
waters went
fifteen
cubits
higher, till all
the
mountains
were
covered.

\VS{24}And
the

were
over

a
hundred
and
fifty
days.

\par }\Chap{8}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
God kept
Noah
in
mind,
and
all
the
living
things
and
the
cattle
which
were
with
him
in

ark:
and
God sent
a
wind
over

waters went
down.

the
fountains
of
the
deep
and
the
windows

were
shut,
and
the
rain
from

was
stopped.
\VS{3}And
the
waters
went slowly
back
from
the
earth,
and
at
the
end
of
a
hundred
and
fifty
days
the

were
lower.
\VS{4}And
on
the seventeenth
day
of

seventh

came
to
rest
on

of

still
the

went
on falling,
till
on
the
first
day
of
the
tenth

the
tops
of
the

were
seen.
\VS{6}Then,
after
forty
days,
through
the
open
window
of
the
ark
which
he
had
made,
\VS{7}Noah
sent
out
a
raven,
which
went
this
way
and
that
till
the
waters
were
gone
from
the
earth.
\VS{8}And
he
sent
out
a
dove,
to
see
if
the
waters
had gone
from
the
face
of
the
earth;
\VS{9}But
the
dove saw
no resting-place
for
her
foot,
and
came
back
to
the
ark,
for
the
waters
were
still
over
all
the
earth;
and
he
put
out
his
hand,
and
took
her
into
the
ark.
\VS{10}And
after waiting
another
seven
days,
he
sent
the
dove
out
again;
\VS{11}And
the
dove
came
back
at
evening,
and
in
her
mouth
was
an olive-leaf broken
off:
so
Noah
was
certain
that
the
waters
had
gone
down
on
the
earth.
\VS{12}And
after
seven
days
more,
he
sent
the
dove
out
again,
but
she
did
not
come
back
to
him.

six
hundred

on
the
first
day
of

first

were
dry
on

Noah
took
the cover
off
the
ark
and
saw
that
the
face
of
the
earth
was
dry.
\VS{14}And
on
the twenty-seventh
day
of
the
second
month
the
earth
was
dry.
\VS{15}And
God
said
to
Noah,
\VS{16}Go
out
of
the
ark,
you
and
your
wife
and
your
sons
and
your sons'
wives.
\VS{17}Take
out
with
you
every
living
thing
which
is
with
you,
birds
and
cattle
and
everything
which
goes
on
the
earth,
so
that
they
may
have offspring
and
be fertile
and
be
increased
on
the
earth.
\VS{18}And
Noah
went
out
with
his
sons
and
his
wife
and
his sons'
wives;
\VS{19}And
every
beast
and
bird
and
every
living
thing
of
every sort which
goes
on
the
earth,
went
out
of
the
ark.
\VS{20}And
Noah
made
an
altar
to
the
Lord,
and
from
every
clean
beast
and
bird
he
made burned
offerings
on
the
altar.
\VS{21}And
when
the sweet
smell
came
up
to
the
Lord,
he
said
in
his
heart,
I
will
not
again put
a
curse
on
the
earth
because
of
man,
for
the
thoughts
of man's
heart
are
evil
from
his earliest days;
never
again
will
I send
destruction
on
all
living
things
as
I
have
done.

to an end.

\par }\Chap{9}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
God
gave
his
blessing
to
Noah
and
his
sons,
and
said,
Be fertile,
and
have
increase,
and
make
the
earth
full.
\VS{2}And
the
fear
of
you
will
be strong
in
every
beast
of
the
earth
and
every
bird
of
the air;
everything
which goes
on
the
land,
and
all
the fishes
of
the
sea,
are
given
into
your
hands.
\VS{3}Every
living
and
moving
thing
will
be
food
for
you;
I
give
them
all
to
you
as before
I
gave
you
all
green
things.
\VS{4}But
flesh
with
the life-blood
in
it
you
may
not take
for
food.
\VS{5}And
for
your
blood, which
is
your
life,
will
I take payment;
from
every
beast
I
will take
it,
and
from
every
man
will
I take payment
for
the
blood
of
his brother-man.
\VS{6}Whoever takes
a man's
life,
by
man
will
his
life
be taken;
because
God
made
man
in
his
image.
\VS{7}And
now,
be fertile
and
have
increase;
have offspring
on
the
earth
and
become great
in
number.
\VS{8}And
God
said
to
Noah
and
to
his
sons,
\VS{9}Truly,
I
will
make
my
agreement
with
you
and
with
your
seed
after
you,
\VS{10}And
with
every
living
thing
with
you,
all
birds
and
cattle
and
every
beast
of
the
earth
which
comes
out
of
the
ark
with
you.
\VS{11}And
I
will
make
my
agreement
with
you;
never
again
will
all
flesh
be
cut
off
by
the
waters;
never
again
will
the
waters
come
over
all
the
earth
for
its
destruction.
\VS{12}And
God
said,
This
is
the
sign
of
the
agreement
which
I
make
between
me
and
you
and
every
living
thing
with
you,
for
all future
generations:
\VS{13}I
will
put
my
bow
in
the
cloud
and
it
will
be
for
a
sign
of
the
agreement
between
me
and
the
earth.
\VS{14}And
whenever
I
make
a
cloud
come
over
the
earth,
the
bow
will
be
seen
in
the
cloud,
\VS{15}And
I
will
keep
in
mind
the
agreement
between
me
and
you
and
every
living
thing;
and
never
again
will
there
be
a great flow
of
waters causing
destruction
to
all
flesh.
\VS{16}And
the
bow
will
be
in
the
cloud,
and
looking
on
it,
I
will
keep
in
mind
the
eternal
agreement
between
God
and
every
living
thing
on
the
earth.
\VS{17}And
God
said
to
Noah,
This
is
the
sign
of
the
agreement
which
I
have
made
between
me
and
all
flesh
on
the
earth.
\VS{18}And
the
sons
of
Noah
who
went
out
of
the
ark
were
Shem,
Ham,
and
Japheth;
and
Ham
is
the
father
of
Canaan.
\VS{19}These
three
were
the
sons
of
Noah
and
from
them
all
the
earth
was peopled.
\VS{20}In
those days
Noah became
a
farmer,
and
he made
a vine-garden.
\VS{21}And
he took
of
the
wine
of
it
and
was overcome
by
drink;
and
he
was
uncovered
in
his
tent.
\VS{22}And
Ham,
the
father
of
Canaan,
saw
his
father unclothed,
and gave news
of
it
to
his
two
brothers
outside.
\VS{23}And
Shem
and
Japheth
took
a robe,
and
putting
it
on
their backs
went
in
with
their
faces
turned
away,
and
put
it
over
their
father
so
that
they might
not
see
him unclothed.
\VS{24}And, awaking
from
his
wine,
Noah saw
what
his
youngest
son
had
done
to
him,
and
he said,
\VS{25}Cursed
be
Canaan;
let
him
be
a
servant
of
servants
to
his
brothers.
\VS{26}And
he
said,
Praise
to
the
Lord,
the
God
of
Shem;
let
Canaan
be
his
servant.
\VS{27}May
God make
Japheth
great,
and
let
his living-place
be
in
the
tents
of
Shem,
and
let
Canaan
be
his
servant.
\VS{28}And
Noah went
on living
three
hundred
and
fifty
years
after
the great flow
of waters;
\VS{29}all
the
years
of
his
life
were
nine
hundred
and
fifty:
and
he
came
to
his end.

\par }\Chap{10}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
these
are
the
generations
of
the
sons
of
Noah,
Shem,
Ham,
and
Japheth:
these
are
the
sons
which
they
had
after
the great flow
of waters
\VS{2}The
sons
of
Japheth:
Gomer
and
Magog
and
Madai
and
Javan
and
Tubal
and
Meshech
and
Tiras.
\VS{3}And
the
sons
of
Gomer:
Ashkenaz
and
Riphath
and
Togarmah.
\VS{4}And
the
sons
of
Javan:
Elishah
and
Tarshish,
the
Kittim
and
the
Dodanim.
\VS{5}From
these
came
the
nations
of
the sea-lands,
with
their different
families
and
languages.
\VS{6}And
the
sons
of
Ham:
Cush
and
Mizraim
and
Put
and
Canaan.
\VS{7}And
the
sons
of
Cush:
Seba
and
Havilah
and
Sabtah
and
Raamah
and
Sabteca;
and
the
sons
of
Raamah:
Sheba
and
Dedan.
\VS{8}And
Cush
was
the
father
of
Nimrod,
who
was
the first
of
the
great
men
of
the
earth.
\VS{9}He
was
a
very
great bowman,
so
that
there
is
a
saying,
Like
Nimrod,
a
very
great bowman.
\VS{10}And
at
the
first,
his
kingdom
was
Babel
and
Erech
and
Accad
and
Calneh,
in
the
land
of
Shinar.
\VS{11}From
that
land
he
went
out
into
Assyria,
building
Nineveh
with
its wide streets
and
Calah,
\VS{12}And
Resen
between
Nineveh
and
Calah,
which
is
a
very
great
town.
\VS{13}And
Mizraim
was
the
father
of
the
Ludim
and
Anamim
and
Lehabim
and
Naphtuhim;
\VS{14}And
Pathrusim
and
Casluhim
and
Caphtorim,
from
whom
came
the
Philistines.
\VS{15}And
Canaan
was
the
father
of Zidon,
who
was
his
oldest son,
and
Heth,
\VS{16}And
the
Jebusite
and
the
Amorite
and
the
Girgashite,

Hivite
and
the
Arkite
and
the
Sinite,
\VS{18}And
the
Arvadite
and
the
Zemarite
and
the
Hamathite;
after
that
the
families
of
the
Canaanites went far
and wide
in
all directions;
\VS{19}Their country stretching
from Zidon
to
Gaza,
in
the direction
of
Gerar;
and
to
Lasha,
in
the direction
of
Sodom
and
Gomorrah
and
Admah
and
Zeboiim.
\VS{20}All
these,
with
their different
families,
languages,
lands,
and
nations,
are
the
offspring
of
Ham.
\VS{21}And
Shem,
the
older
brother
of
Japheth,
the
father
of
the
children
of
Eber,
had
other
sons
in
addition.
\VS{22}These
are
the
sons
of
Shem:
Elam
and
Asshur
and
Arpachshad
and
Lud
and
Aram.
\VS{23}And
the
sons
of
Aram:
Uz
and
Hul
and
Gether
and
Mash.
\VS{24}And
Arpachshad
became
the
father
of
Shelah;
and
Shelah
became
the
father
of
Eber.
\VS{25}And
Eber
had
two
sons:
the
name
of
the
one
was
Peleg,
because
in
his
time
the peoples
of
the
earth
became separate;
and
his brother's
name
was
Joktan.
\VS{26}And
Joktan
was
the
father
of
Almodad
and
Sheleph
and
Hazarmaveth
and
Jerah
\VS{27}And
Hadoram
and
Uzal
and
Diklah
\VS{28}And
Obal
and
Abimael
and
Sheba
\VS{29}And
Ophir
and
Havilah
and
Jobab;
all
these
were
the
sons
of
Joktan.
\VS{30}And
their
country
was
from
Mesha,
in
the direction
of
Sephar,
the
mountain
of
the
east.
\VS{31}These,
with
their
families
and
their
languages
and
their
lands
and
their
nations,
are
the
offspring
of
Shem.
\VS{32}These
are
the
families
of
the
sons
of
Noah,
in
the
order
of
their
generations
and
their
nations:
from
these came
all
the
nations
of
the
earth
after
the great flow
of waters.

\par }\Chap{11}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
all
the
earth
had
one
language
and
one tongue.
\VS{2}And
it
came
about
that
in
their wandering
from
the
east,
they
came
to
a stretch
of flat
country
in
the
land
of
Shinar,
and
there
they
made
their living-place.
\VS{3}And
they
said
one
to
another,
Come,
let
us
make
bricks,
burning
them well.
And
they
had
bricks
for
stone, putting
them together
with sticky earth.
\VS{4}And
they
said,
Come, let
us
make
a
town,
and
a
tower
whose
top
will go
up
as high
as
heaven;
and let
us
make
a great
name
for
ourselves,
so
that
we
may
not
be wanderers
over
the
face
of
the
earth.
\VS{5}And
the
Lord
came
down
to
see
the
town
and
the
tower
which
the
children
of
men
were
building.
\VS{6}And
the
Lord
said,
See,
they
are
all
one
people
and
have
all
one
language;
and
this
is
only
the start
of
what
they
may
do:
and
now
it
will
not
be possible
to
keep
them
from
any
purpose
of
theirs.
\VS{7}Come,
let
us
go
down
and
take away
the sense
of
their
language,
so
that
they
will
not
be able
to
make
themselves clear
to
one
another.
\VS{8}So
the
Lord
God sent
them
away
into
every
part
of
the
earth:
and
they
gave
up
building
their
town.
\VS{9}So
it
was
named
Babel,
because
there
the
Lord took
away
the sense
of
all languages
and
from
there
the
Lord sent
them
away
over
all
the
face
of
the
earth.
\VS{10}These
are
the
generations
of
Shem.

had

\VS{18}And
Peleg
was
thirty
years
old
when

became
the

of
Reu:
\VS{19}And
after
the
birth
of
Reu,
Peleg went
on living
for
two
hundred
and
nine
years,
and
had
sons
and

Reu
was thirty-two
years
old
when

Serug
was
thirty
years
old
when

Nahor:
\VS{23}And
after
the
birth
of
Nahor,
Serug went
on living
for
two
hundred

and
had

\VS{24}And
Nahor
was
twenty-nine
years
old
when
he
became

after

birth
of
Terah,
Nahor went
on living
for
a

had

\VS{26}And
Terah
was
seventy
years
old
when
he
became
the
father
of
Abram,
Nahor,
and
Haran.
\VS{27}These
are
the
generations
of
Terah:
Terah
was
the
father
of
Abram,
Nahor,
and
Haran;
and
Haran
was
the
father
of
Lot.
\VS{28}And
death came
to
Haran
when
he
was
with
his
father
Terah
in
the
land
of
his
birth, Ur
of
the
Chaldees.
\VS{29}And
Abram
and
Nahor
took
wives
for themselves:
the
name
of Abram's
wife
was
Sarai,
and
the
name
of Nahor's
wife
was
Milcah,
the
daughter
of
Haran,
the
father
of
Milcah
and
Iscah.
\VS{30}And
Sarai
had
no
child.
\VS{31}And
Terah
took
Abram,
his
son,
and
Lot,
the
son
of
Haran,
and
Sarai,
his
daughter-in-law,
the
wife
of
his
son
Abram
and
they
went
out
from Ur
of
the
Chaldees,
to
go
to
the
land
of
Canaan;
and
they
came
to
Haran,
and
were
there
for
some
time.
\VS{32}And
all
the
years
of Terah's
life
were
two
hundred
and
five:
and
Terah
came
to
his end
in
Haran.

\par }\Chap{12}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
the
Lord
said
to
Abram, Go
out
from
your
country
and
from
your
family
and
from
your father's
house,
into
the
land
to
which
I
will
be
your guide:
\VS{2}And
I
will
make
of
you
a
great
nation,
blessing
you
and
making
your
name
great;
and
you
will
be
a
blessing:
\VS{3}To
them
who are good
to
you
will
I give
blessing,
and
on
him
who does
you wrong
will
I put
my
curse:
and
you
will become
a name
of
blessing
to
all
the
families
of
the
earth.
\VS{4}So
Abram
went
as
the
Lord
had
said
to
him,
and
Lot
went
with
him:
Abram
was
seventy-five
years
old
when
he
went
away
from
Haran.
\VS{5}And
Abram
took
Sarai,
his
wife,
and
Lot,
his brother's
son,
and
all
their
goods
and
the servants
which
they
had
got
in
Haran,
and
they
went
out
to
go
to
the
land
of
Canaan.
\VS{6}And
Abram went
through
the
land
till
he came
to
Shechem,
to
the holy tree
of
Moreh.
At
that
time,
the
Canaanites
were
still living
in
the
land.
\VS{7}And
the
Lord
came
to
Abram,
and
said,
I
will
give all
this
land
to
your
seed;
then
Abram
made
an
altar
there
to
the
Lord
who
had
let
himself
be
seen
by
him.
\VS{8}And moving
on
from
there
to
the
mountain
on
the
east
of Beth-el,
he put
up
his
tent, having Beth-el
on
the
west
and
Ai
on
the
east:
and
there
he
made
an
altar
and
gave
worship
to
the
name
of
the
Lord.
\VS{9}And
he
went
on,
journeying still
to
the
South.
\VS{10}And
because
there
was little food
to
be
had
in
that
land,
he
went
down
into
Egypt.
\VS{11}Now
when
he
came
near
to
Egypt,
he
said
to
Sarai,
his
wife,
Truly,
you
are
a
fair
woman
and
beautiful
to
the eye;
\VS{12}And
I
am certain
that
when
the
men
of
Egypt
see
you,
they
will
say,
This
is
his
wife:
and
they
will put
me
to death
and
keep
you.
\VS{13}Say,
then,
that
you
are
my
sister,
and
so
it
will
be
well
with
me
because
of
you,
and
my
life
will
be kept safe on
your
account.
\VS{14}And
so
it
was
that
when
Abram
came
into
Egypt,
the men
of
Egypt,
looking
on
the
woman,
saw
that
she
was
fair.
\VS{15}And Pharaoh's great
men, having
seen
her,
said words
in
praise
of
her
to
Pharaoh,
and she
was
taken
into Pharaoh's
house.
\VS{16}And
because
of
her,
he
was
good
to
Abram,
and
he
had
sheep
and
oxen
and asses,
and men-servants
and women-servants,
and
camels.
\VS{17}And
the
Lord sent
great troubles
on Pharaoh's
house
because
of
Sarai, Abram's
wife.
\VS{18}Then
Pharaoh
sent
for
Abram,
and
said,
What
have
you
done
to
me?
why
did
you
not
say
that
she
was
your
wife?
\VS{19}Why
did
you
say
that
she
was
your
sister?
so
that
I
took
her
for
my
wife:
now,
take
your
wife
and
go
on
your way.
\VS{20}And
Pharaoh
gave
orders
to
his
men,
and
they
sent
him
on
his
way,
with
his
wife
and
all
he
had.

\par }\Chap{13}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Abram
went
up
out
of
Egypt
with
his
wife
and
all
he
had,
and
Lot
with
him,
and
they
came
in
to
the
South.
\VS{2}Now
Abram
had
great wealth
of
cattle
and
silver
and
gold.
\VS{3}And travelling
on
from
the
South,
he
came
to Beth-el,
to
the
place
where

tent
had
been
before,
between Beth-el
and

had
made
his
first
altar,
and
there
Abram
gave
worship
to
the
name
of
the
Lord.
\VS{5}And
Lot,
who
went
with
him,
had
flocks
and
herds
and
tents;
\VS{6}So
that
the
land
was
not wide
enough
for
the
two
of
them:
their
property
was
so
great
that
there
was
not room
for
them
together.
\VS{7}And
there
was
an argument
between
the keepers
of Abram's
cattle
and
the keepers
of Lot's
cattle:
at
that
time
the
Canaanites
and
Perizzites
were
still
living
in
the
land.
\VS{8}Then
Abram
said
to
Lot,
Let
there
be
no argument
between
me
and
you,
and
between
my herdmen
and
your herdmen,
for
we
are
brothers.
\VS{9}Is
not
all
the
land
before
you?
then
let
us
go
our
separate ways:
if
you
go
to
the
left,
I
will
go
to
the
right;
or
if
you take
the
right,
I
will
go
to
the
left.
\VS{10}And
Lot, lifting
up
his
eyes
and
looking
an
the
valley
of
Jordan,
saw
that
it
was well watered
everywhere,
before
the
Lord
had sent
destruction
on
Sodom
and
Gomorrah;
it
was
like
the
garden
of
the
Lord,
like
the
land
of
Egypt,
on
the
way
to
Zoar.
\VS{11}So
Lot
took
for
himself
all
the
valley
of
Jordan,
and
went
to
the
east,
and
they
were
parted
from
one
another.
\VS{12}Abram went
on
living
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
and
Lot went
to
the lowland
towns, moving
his
tent
as
far
as
Sodom.
\VS{13}Now
the
men
of
Sodom
were
evil,
and
great
sinners before
the
Lord.
\VS{14}And
the
Lord
had
said
to
Abram,
after
Lot
was
parted
from
him,
From
this
place
where
you
are
take
a
look
to
the
north
and
to
the
south,
to
the
east
and
to
the
west:
\VS{15}For
all
the
land
which
you
see
I
will
give
to
you
and
to
your
seed
for
ever.
\VS{16}And
I
will
make
your
children
like
the
dust
of
the
earth,
so
that
if
the
dust
of
the
earth
may
be
numbered,
then
will
your
children
be
numbered.
\VS{17}Come,
go
through all
the
land
from
one end
to
the other
for
I
will
give
it
to
you.
\VS{18}And
Abram, moving
his
tent,
came
and
made
his living-place
by
the holy tree
of
Mamre,
which
is
in
Hebron,
and
made
an
altar
there
to
the
Lord.

\par }\Chap{14}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
in
the
days
of
Amraphel,
king
of
Shinar,
Arioch,
king
of
Ellasar,
Chedorlaomer,
king
of
Elam,
and
Tidal,
king
of
Goiim,
\VS{2}They
made
war
with
Bera,
king
of
Sodom,
and
with
Birsha,
king
of
Gomorrah,
Shinab,
king
of
Admah,
and
Shemeber,
king
of
Zeboiim,
and
the
king
of
Bela (which
is
Zoar).
\VS{3}All
these
came
together
in
the
valley
of
Siddim (which
is
the
Salt
Sea).
\VS{4}For
twelve
years
they
were under
the rule
of
Chedorlaomer,
but
in
the thirteenth
year
they put
off
his control.
\VS{5}And
in
the fourteenth
year,
Chedorlaomer
and
the
kings
who
were
on
his
side, overcame
the
Rephaim
in
Ashteroth-karnaim,
and
the
Zuzim
in
Ham,
and
the Emim
in Shaveh-kiriathaim,
\VS{6}And
the
Horites
in
their
mountain
Seir, driving
them
as
far
as
El-paran,
which
is
near
the waste land.
\VS{7}Then
they
came
back
to
En-mishpat (which
is
Kadesh),
making waste
all
the
country
of
the
Amalekites
and
of
the
Amorites
living
in
Hazazon-tamar.
\VS{8}And
the
king
of
Sodom
with
the
king
of
Gomorrah
and
the
king
of
Admah
and
the
king
of
Zeboiim
and
the
king
of
Bela (that
is
Zoar),
went
out,
and
put
their
forces
in position
in
the
valley
of
Siddim,
\VS{9}Against
Chedorlaomer,
king
of
Elam,
and
Tidal,
king
of
Goiim,
and
Amraphel,
king
of
Shinar,
and
Arioch,
king
of
Ellasar:
four
kings
against
the
five.
\VS{10}Now
the
valley
of
Siddim
was full
of holes
of sticky earth;
and
the
kings
of
Sodom
and
Gomorrah
were
put
to
flight
and
came
to
their end
there,
but
the
rest got
away
to
the
mountain.
\VS{11}And
the four kings
took
all
the
goods
and
food
from
Sodom
and
Gomorrah
and went
on
their
way.
\VS{12}And
in addition
they
took
Lot, Abram's brother's
son,
who
was
living
in
Sodom,
and all
his
goods.
\VS{13}And
one
who
had got
away
from
the fight
came
and
gave
word
of
it
to
Abram
the
Hebrew,
who
was
living
by
the holy tree
of
Mamre,
the
Amorite,
the
brother
of
Eshcol
and
Aner,
who
were friends
of
Abram.
\VS{14}And
Abram,
hearing
that
his brother's son
had been
made
a
prisoner,
took
a band
of
his
trained
men,
three
hundred
and
eighteen
of
them, sons
of
his
house,
and
went
after
them
as
far
as
Dan.
\VS{15}And separating
his forces
by
night,
he overcame
them, putting
them
to
flight
and going
after
them
as
far
as
Hobah,
which
is
on
the
north
side
of
Damascus.
\VS{16}And
he got
back
all
the
goods,
and
Lot,
his brother's son,
with
his
goods
and
the
women
and
the
people.
\VS{17}And
when
he
was
coming
back
after putting
to flight
Chedorlaomer
and
the other
kings,
he
had
a meeting
with
the
king
of
Sodom
in
the
valley
of
Shaveh,
that
is,
the King's
Valley.
\VS{18}And
Melchizedek,
king
of
Salem,
the
priest
of
the
Most High
God,
took
bread
and
wine,
\VS{19}And
blessing
him,
said,
May
the
blessing
of
the Most High
God, maker
of
heaven
and
earth,
be
on
Abram:
\VS{20}And
let
the Most High
God
be
praised,
who
has
given
into
your
hands
those
who
were
against
you.
Then Abram
gave
him
a
tenth
of
all
the goods
he
had
taken.
\VS{21}And
the
king
of
Sodom
said
to
Abram,
Give
me
the prisoners
and
take
the
goods
for
yourself.
\VS{22}But
Abram
said
to
the
king
of
Sodom,
I
have taken
an oath
to
the
Lord,
the
Most
High
God, maker
of
heaven
and
earth,
\VS{23}That
I
will
not
take
so
much
as
a
thread
or
the
cord
of
a
shoe
of yours;
so
that
you
may
not
say,
I
have given
wealth
to
Abram:
\VS{24}Give
me
nothing
but
the
food
which
the fighting-men
who
went
with
me
have
had;
but
let
Aner
and
Eshcol
and
Mamre
have
their part
of
the goods.

\par }\Chap{15}{\PP \VerseOne{1}After
these
things,
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
Abram
in
a
vision,
saying,
Have
no
fear,
Abram:
I
will keep
you safe,
and
great
will
be
your
reward.
\VS{2}And
Abram
said,
What
will
you
give
me?
for
I
have
no
child
and
this
Eliezer
of
Damascus
will
have all
my wealth
after
me.
\VS{3}And
Abram
said,
You
have
given
me
no
child,
and
a servant
in
my
house
will get
the heritage.
\VS{4}Then
said
the
Lord,
This man
will
not
get
the heritage,
but
a son
of
your
body
will
have
your
property
after
you.
\VS{5}And
he
took
him
out
into
the
open air,
and
said
to
him,
Let
your eyes
be lifted
to
heaven,
and
see
if
the
stars
may
be
numbered;
even
so
will
your
seed
be.
\VS{6}And
he
had
faith
in
the
Lord,
and
it
was
put
to
his account
as
righteousness.
\VS{7}And
he
said
to
him,
I
am
the
Lord,
who
took
you
from Ur
of
the
Chaldees,
to
give
you
this
land
for
your heritage.
\VS{8}And
he
said,
O
Lord
God,
how may
I
be
certain
that
it
will
be mine?
\VS{9}And
he
said,
Take
a
young cow
of
three years
old,
and
a she-goat
of
three years
old,
and
a sheep
of
three years
old,
and
a dove
and
a
young
pigeon.
\VS{10}All
these
he
took, cutting
them
in
two
and
putting
one
half
opposite
the
other,
but
not cutting
the
birds
in
two.
\VS{11}And evil
birds
came
down
on
the
bodies,
but
Abram sent
them
away.
\VS{12}Now
when
the
sun
was
going
down,
a
deep
sleep
came
on
Abram,
and
a dark cloud
of
fear.
\VS{13}And
he
said
to
Abram,
Truly,
your
seed
will
be living
in
a
land which
is
not theirs,
as
servants
to
a
people
who
will
be cruel
to
them
for
four
hundred
years;
\VS{14}But
I
will
be
the
judge
of
that
nation
whose
servants
they
are,
and
they
will
come
out
from among
them
with
great
wealth.
\VS{15}As
for
you,
you
will
go
to
your
fathers
in
peace;
at
the end
of
a
long life
you
will
be
put
in
your last resting-place.
\VS{16}And
in
the
fourth
generation
they
will
come
back
here;
for
at
present
the
sin
of
the
Amorite
is
not
full.
\VS{17}Then
when
the
sun
went
down
and
it
was
dark,
he
saw
a
smoking
fire
and
a
flaming light
which
went
between
the parts
of
the bodies.
\VS{18}In
that
day
the
Lord
made
an
agreement
with
Abram,
and
said,
To
your
seed
have
I
given
this
land
from
the
river
of
Egypt
to
the
great
river,
the
river
Euphrates:
\VS{19}The
Kenite,
the
Kenizzite,
and
the
Kadmonite,
\VS{20}And
the
Hittite,
and
the
Perizzite,
and
the
Rephaim,
\VS{21}And
the
Amorite,
and
the
Canaanite,
and
the
Girgashite,
and
the
Jebusite.

\par }\Chap{16}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
Sarai, Abram's
wife,
had
given
him
no
children;
and
she
had
a
servant,
a
woman
of
Egypt
whose
name
was
Hagar.
\VS{2}And
Sarai
said
to
Abram,
See,
the
Lord
has
not
let
me
have
children;
go
in
to
my
servant,
for
I
may
get
a family
through
her.
And
Abram did
as
Sarai
said.
\VS{3}So
after
Abram
had
been
living
for
ten
years
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
Sarai
took
Hagar,
her
Egyptian
servant,
and
gave
her
to
Abram
for
his
wife.
\VS{4}And
he
went
in
to
Hagar
and
she
became
with
child,
and
when
she
saw
that
she
was
with
child,
she no longer
had
any respect
for
her master's wife.
\VS{5}And
Sarai
said
to
Abram,
May
my
wrong
be
on
you:
I
gave
you
my
servant
for
your wife
and
when
she
saw
that
she
was
with
child,
she
no longer
had
any
respect
for
me:
may
the
Lord
be
judge
between
you
and
me.
\VS{6}And
Abram
said,
The woman
is
in
your
power;
do
with
her
whatever
seems
good
to
you.
And
Sarai
was cruel
to
her,
so
that
she
went running
away
from
her.
\VS{7}And
an
angel
of
the
Lord
came
to
her
by
a fountain
of
water
in
the waste land,
by
the fountain
on
the
way
to
Shur.
\VS{8}And
he
said,
Hagar, Sarai's
servant,
where
have
you
come
from
and
where
are
you
going?
And
she
said,
I
am running
away
from
Sarai,
my master's wife.
\VS{9}And
the
angel
said
to
her,
Go
back,
and
put
yourself
under
her
authority.
\VS{10}And
the
angel
of
the
Lord
said,
Your
seed
will
be
greatly
increased
so
that
it
may
not
be
numbered.
\VS{11}And
the
angel
of
the
Lord
said,
See,
you
are
with
child
and
will
give
birth
to
a
son,
to
whom
you
will
give
the
name
Ishmael,
because
the ears
of
the
Lord
were open
to
your sorrow.
\VS{12}And
he
will
be
like
a mountain ass
among
men;
his
hand
will
be
against
every
man
and
every man's
hand
against
him,
and
he
will keep
his
place
against
all
his
brothers.
\VS{13}And
to
the
Lord
who
was
talking
with
her
she
gave
this
name,
You
are
a
God
who
is
seen;
for
she
said,
Have
I
not
even
here
in
the waste land
had
a
vision
of
God
and
am
still living?
\VS{14}So
that fountain
was
named, Fountain
of Life
and Vision:
it
is
between
Kadesh
and
Bered.
\VS{15}And
Hagar
gave
birth
to
a
child,
the
son
of
Abram,
to
whom
Abram
gave
the
name
of
Ishmael.
\VS{16}Abram
was
eighty-six
years
old
when
Hagar
gave
birth
to
Ishmael.

Abram
was ninety-nine

\VS{3}And
Abram
went
down
on

face
on
the earth,
and
the Lord
God
went
on
talking
with
him,
and
said,
\VS{4}As
for
me,
my
agreement
is
made
with
you,
and
you
will
be
the
father
of
nations without end.
\VS{5}No
longer
will
your
name
be
Abram,
but
Abraham,
for
I
have
made

the
father
of

of

\VS{6}I
will
make
you
very fertile,
so
that
nations
will
come
from
you
and

will
be
your offspring.
\VS{7}And
I
will
make
between
me
and
you

seed
after
you
through
all
generations,
an
eternal
agreement
to
be
a
God
to
you
and
to
your
seed
after
you.
\VS{8}And
to
you
and
to
your
seed
after
you,
I
will
give
the
land
in which
you
are living,
all
the
land
of
Canaan
for
an
eternal heritage;
and
I
will
be
their
God.
\VS{9}And
God
said
to
Abraham,
On
your
side,
you
are
to
keep
the
agreement,
you
and
your
seed
after
you
through
all
generations.
\VS{10}And
this
is
the
agreement
which
you
are
to
keep
with
me,
you
and
your
seed
after
you:
every
male
among
you
is
to undergo circumcision.
\VS{11}In
the
flesh
of
your private parts
you
are
to undergo
it,
as
a
mark
of
the
agreement
between
me
and
you.
\VS{12}Every
male
among
you,
from
one
generation
to
another,
is
to undergo circumcision
when
he
is
eight
days
old,
with
every servant
whose
birth takes
place
in
your
house,
or
for
whom
you gave
money
to someone
of
another country,
and
not
of
your
seed.
\VS{13}He
who
comes
to birth
in
your
house
and
he
who
is
made yours
for
a
price,
all
are
to undergo circumcision;
so
that
my
agreement
may
be marked
in
your
flesh,
an
agreement
for
all
time.
\VS{14}And
any
male
who
does
not undergo circumcision
will
be
cut
off
from
his
people:
my
agreement
has
been
broken
by
him.
\VS{15}And
God
said,
As
for
Sarai,
your
wife,
from
now
her
name
will
be
not
Sarai,
but
Sarah.
\VS{16}And
I
will
give
her
a
blessing
so
that
you
will
have
a
son
by
her:
truly
my
blessing
will
be
on
her,
and
she
will
be
the mother
of
nations:
kings
of
peoples
will
be
her
offspring.
\VS{17}Then
Abraham
went
down
on
his
face,
and laughing,
said
in
his
heart,
May
a
man
a
hundred
years
old
have
a
child?
will
Sarah,
at
ninety
years
old,
give
birth?
\VS{18}And
Abraham
said
to
God,
If
only Ishmael's
life
might
be
your care!
\VS{19}And
God
said,
Not
so;
but
Sarah,
your
wife,
will
have
a
son,
and
you
will
give
him
the
name
Isaac,
and
I
will
make
my
agreement
with
him
for
ever
and
with
his
seed
after
him.
\VS{20}As
for
Ishmael,
I
have
given ear
to
your prayer:
truly
I
have
given
him
my
blessing
and
I
will
make
him fertile
and
give
him
great
increase;
he
will
be
the
father
of
twelve
chiefs,
and
I
will
make
him
a
great
nation.
\VS{21}But
my
agreement
will be
with
Isaac,
to
whom
Sarah
will
give
birth
a
year
from
this
time.
\VS{22}And having
said
these words,
God
went
up
from
Abraham.
\VS{23}And
Abraham
took
Ishmael,
his
son,
and
all
whose birth
had
taken
place
in
his
house,
and
all
his
servants
whom
he
had
made
his
for
a
price,
every
male
of
his
house,
and
on
that
very
day
he
gave
them circumcision
in
the
flesh
of
their private parts
as
God
had
said
to
him.
\VS{24}Abraham
was ninety-nine
years
old
when
he underwent circumcision.
\VS{25}And
Ishmael,
his
son,
was
thirteen
years
old
when
he underwent circumcision.
\VS{26}Abraham
and
Ishmael,
his
son, underwent circumcision
on
that
very
day.
\VS{27}And
all
the
men
of
his
house,
those
whose birth
had taken
place
in
the
house
and
those whom
he
had got
for
money
from
men
of
other
lands, underwent circumcision
with
him.

\par }\Chap{18}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
the
Lord
came
to
him
by
the holy tree
of
Mamre,
when
he
was
seated
in
the
doorway
of
his
tent
in
the middle
of
the
day;
\VS{2}And lifting
up
his
eyes,
he
saw
three
men
before
him;
and
seeing
them,
he
went
quickly
to
them
from
the
door
of
the
tent,
and
went
down
on
his
face
to
the
earth;
\VS{3}And
said,
My
Lord,
if
now
I
have
grace
in
your
eyes,
do
not
go
away
from
your
servant:
\VS{4}Let
me
get
water
for
washing
your
feet,
and
take
your
rest
under
the
tree:
\VS{5}And
let
me
get
a bit
of
bread
to
keep
up
your strength,
and
after
that
you
may
go
on
your
way:
for
this
is
why
you
have come
to
your
servant.
And
they
said,
Let
it
be
so.
\VS{6}Then
Abraham
went
quickly
into
the
tent,
and
said
to
Sarah, Get
three
measures
of
meal straight away
and
make
cakes.
\VS{7}And
running
to
the
herd,
he
took
a
young
ox,
soft
and fat,
and
gave
it
to
the
servant
and
he
quickly
made
it ready;
\VS{8}And
he
took
butter
and
milk
and
the
young
ox
which
he
had
made ready
and
put
it
before
them, waiting
by
them
under
the
tree
while
they
took
food.
\VS{9}And
they
said
to
him,
Where
is
Sarah
your
wife?
And
he
said, She
is
in
the
tent.
\VS{10}And
he
said,
I
will
certainly
come
back
to
you
in
the spring,
and
Sarah
your
wife
will
have
a
son.
And
his words
came
to
the ears
of
Sarah
who
was
at
the
back
of
the tent-door.
\VS{11}Now
Abraham
and
Sarah
were very
old,
and
Sarah
was
past
the
time
for giving birth.
\VS{12}And
Sarah, laughing
to
herself,
said,
Now
that
I
am
used
up
am
I
still
to
have pleasure,
my husband himself
being
old?
\VS{13}And
the
Lord
said,
Why
was
Sarah laughing
and
saying,
Is
it possible
for
me,
being
old,
to
give
birth
to
a
child?
\VS{14}Is
there any wonder
which
the
Lord
is
not able
to do?
At
the
time
I
said,
in
the spring,
I
will
come
back
to
you,
and
Sarah
will
have
a
child.
\VS{15}Then
Sarah
said,
I
was
not laughing;
for
she
was full
of
fear.
And
he
said,
No,
but
you
were laughing.
\VS{16}And
the
men
went
on
from
there
in
the
direction
of
Sodom;
and
Abraham
went
with
them
on
their
way.
\VS{17}And
the
Lord
said,
Am
I
to
keep back
from
Abraham
the knowledge
of
what
I
do;
\VS{18}Seeing
that
Abraham
will certainly
become
a
great
and
strong
nation,
and
his name
will
be
used
by
all
the
nations
of
the
earth
as
a
blessing?
\VS{19}For
I
have
made
him mine
so
that
he
may
give
orders
to
his
children
and
those
of
his
line
after
him,
to
keep
the
ways
of
the
Lord,
to
do
what
is good
and
right:
so
that
the
Lord
may
do
to
Abraham
as
he
has
said.
\VS{20}And
the
Lord
said,
Because
the
outcry
against
Sodom
and
Gomorrah
is
very
great,
and
their
sin
is
very evil,
\VS{21}I
will
go
down
now,
and
see
if
their
acts
are
as bad
as
they seem
from
the
outcry which
has
come
to
me;
and
if
they
are
not,
I
will
see.
\VS{22}And
the
men,
turning
from
that
place,
went
on
to
Sodom:
but
Abraham
was
still waiting
before
the
Lord.
\VS{23}And
Abraham
came
near,
and
said,
Will
you
let destruction
come
on
the upright
with
the sinners?
\VS{24}If
by chance
there
are
fifty upright
men
in
the
town,
will
you
give
the
place
to
destruction
and
not
have mercy
on
it
because
of
the
fifty upright
men?
\VS{25}Let
such
a
thing
be
far
from
you,
to
put
the upright
to
death
with
the sinner:
will
not
the
judge
of
all
the
earth
do
right?
\VS{26}And
the
Lord
said,
If
there
are
fifty upright
men
in
the
town,
I
will
have
mercy
on
it
because
of
them.
\VS{27}And
Abraham answering
said, Truly,
I
who
am only
dust,
have undertaken
to put
my thoughts
before
the
Lord:
\VS{28}If
by chance
there
are
five
less
than
fifty upright
men,
will
you give
up
all
the
town
to
destruction
because
of
these
five?
And
he
said,
I
will
not give
it
to
destruction
if
there
are
forty-five.
\VS{29}And
again
he
said
to
him,
By chance
there
may
be
forty
there.
And
he
said,
I
will
not
do
it
if
there
are
forty.
\VS{30}And
he
said,
Let
not
the
Lord
be
angry
with
me
if
I
say,
What
if
there
are
thirty
there?
And
he
said,
I
will
not
do
it
if
there
are
thirty.
\VS{31}And
he
said,
See
now,
I
have undertaken
to put
my thoughts
before
the
Lord:
what
if
there
are
twenty
there?
And
he
said,
I
will
have mercy
because
of
the
twenty.
\VS{32}And
he
said,
O
let
not
the
Lord
be
angry
and
I
will
say
only
one
word
more:
by chance
there
may
be
ten
there.
And
he
said,
I
will
have mercy
because
of
the
ten.
\VS{33}And
the
Lord
went
on
his way
when
his
talk
with
Abraham
was
ended,
and
Abraham
went
back
to
his
place.

\par }\Chap{19}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
at nightfall
the
two
angels
came
to
Sodom;
and
Lot
was
seated
at
the way
into
the
town:
and
when
he
saw
them
he
got
up
and
came
before
them, falling
down
on
his
face
to
the
earth.
\VS{2}And
he
said,
My
masters,
come
now
into
your servant's
house
and
take
your rest
there
for
the night,
and
let
your
feet
be
washed;
and
early
in
the
morning
you
may
go
on
your
way.
And
they
said,
Not
so,
but
we
will
take
our night's rest
in
the
street.
\VS{3}But
he
made
his request
more
strongly,
so
they
went
with
him
into
his
house;
and
he got
food ready
for
them,
and
made
unleavened
bread,
of
which
they
took.
\VS{4}But
before
they
had gone
to
bed,
the
men
of
the
town,
all
the
men
of
Sodom,
came
round
the
house,
young
and
old,
from
every
part
of
the
town;
\VS{5}And
crying
out
to
Lot,
they
said,
Where
are
the
men
who
came
to
your house
this
night?
Send
them
out
to
us,
so
that
we
may
take
our pleasure
with
them.
\VS{6}And
Lot
went
out
to
them
in
the
doorway, shutting
the
door
after
him.
\VS{7}And
he
said,
My
brothers,
do
not
this
evil.
\VS{8}See
now,
I
have
two
unmarried
daughters;
I
will
send
them
out
to
you
so
that
you
may
do
to
them
whatever
seems
good
to
you:
only
do
nothing
to
these
men,
for
this
is
why
they
have
come
under
the
shade
of
my
roof.
\VS{9}And
they
said,
Give way
there.
This
one
man,
they
said,
came
here
from
a strange country,
and
will
he
now
be
our
judge?
now
we
will
do worse
to
you than
to
them;
and pushing
violently
against
Lot,
they
came
near
to
get
the
door
broken
in.
\VS{10}But
the
men
put
out
their
hands
and
took
Lot
into
the
house
to
them, shutting
the
door
again.
\VS{11}But
the
men
who
were outside
the
door
they
made blind,
all
of
them,
small
and
great,
so
that
they
were
tired
out
with
looking
for
the
door.
\VS{12}Then
the
men
said
to
Lot,
Are
there
any others
of
your family
here? sons-in-law
or
sons
or
daughters,
take
them
all
out
of
this
place;
\VS{13}For
we
are
about
to
send
destruction
on
this
place,
because
a
great
outcry
against
them
has come
to
the ears
of
the
Lord;
and
the
Lord
has
sent
us
to
put
an end
to
the town.
\VS{14}And
Lot
went
out
and
said
to
his sons-in-law,
who
were
married
to
his
daughters,
Come,
let
us
go
out
of
this
place,
for
the
Lord
is
about
to
send
destruction
on
the
town.
But
his sons-in-law did
not
take
him seriously.
\VS{15}And
when
morning
came,
the
angels did
all
in
their power
to
make
Lot
go,
saying,
Get
up quickly
and
take
your
wife
and
your
two
daughters
who
are
here,
and
go,
for
fear
that
you
come
to destruction
in
the
punishment
of
the
town.
\VS{16}But
while
he
was waiting,
the
men
took
him
and
his
wife
and
his
daughters
by
the
hand,
for
the
Lord
had
mercy
on
them,
and
put
them
outside
the
town.
\VS{17}And
when
they
had
put
them
out,
he
said,
Go
for
your
life,
without
looking
back
or waiting
in
the lowland;
go quickly
to
the
mountain
or
you
will
come
to destruction.
\VS{18}And
Lot
said
to
them,
Not
so,
O
my
Lord;
\VS{19}See
now,
your
servant
has
had
grace
in
your
eyes
and
great
is
your mercy
in keeping
my
life
from
destruction,
but
I
am
not
able
to
get
as far
as
the
mountain
before
evil overtakes
me
and
death;
\VS{20}This
town,
now,
is
near,
and
it
is
a
little
one:
O,
let
me
go
there (is
it
not
a
little
one?)
so
that
my
life
may
be safe.
\VS{21}And
he
said,
See,
I
have given
you
your
request
in
this
one
thing
more:
I
will
not send destruction
on
this
town.
\VS{22}Go
there
quickly,
for
I am
not
able
to
do
anything
till
you
have
come
there.
For
this
reason,
the
town
was
named
Zoar.
\VS{23}The
sun
was
up
when
Lot
came
to
Zoar.
\VS{24}Then
the
Lord
sent
fire
and
flaming smoke raining
down
from
heaven
on
Sodom
and
Gomorrah.
\VS{25}And
he sent destruction
on
those
towns,
with
all
the lowland
and
all
the
people
of
those
towns
and
every green
thing
in
the
land.
\VS{26}But Lot's
wife,
looking
back,
became
a
pillar
of
salt.
\VS{27}And
Abraham
got
up
early
in
the
morning
and
went
to
the
place
where
he
had
been talking
with
the
Lord:
\VS{28}And
looking
in
the
direction
of
Sodom
and
Gomorrah
and
the lowland,
he
saw
the
smoke
of
the
land
going
up
like
the
smoke
of
an oven.
\VS{29}So
it
came
about
that
when
God
sent
destruction
on
the
towns
of
the lowland,
he kept
his word
to
Abraham,
and
sent
Lot safely
away
when
he
put
an end
to
the
towns
where
he
was
living.
\VS{30}Then
Lot
went
up
out
of
Zoar
to
the
mountain,
and
was
living
there
with
his
two
daughters,
for
fear kept
him
from
living
in
Zoar:
and
he
and
his
daughters
made
their living-place
in
a hole
in
the rock.
\VS{31}And
the
older daughter
said
to
her sister,
Our
father
is
old,
and
there
is
no
man
to
be
a
husband
to
us
in
the natural
way:
\VS{32}Come, let
us
give
our
father much
wine,
and we
will go into
his
bed,
so
that we
may
have
offspring
by
our
father,
\VS{33}And
that
night
they
made
their
father
take much
wine;
and
the
older daughter
went
into
his
bed;
and
he
had
no
knowledge
of
when
she
went
in
or
when
she
went
away.
\VS{34}And
on
the
day
after,
the
older daughter
said
to
the
younger,
Last
night
I
was
with
my
father;
let
us
make
him
take much
wine
this
night
again,
and
do
you
go
to
him,
so
that
we
may
have
offspring
by
our
father.
\VS{35}And
that
night
again
they
made
their
father
take much
wine;
and
the
younger daughter
went
into
his
bed;
and
he
had
no
knowledge
of
when
she
went
in
or
when
she
went
away.
\VS{36}And so
the
two
daughters
of
Lot
were
with
child
by
their
father.
\VS{37}And
the older daughter
had
a
son,
and
she
gave
him
the
name
Moab:
he
is
the
father
of
the
Moabites
to
this
day.
\VS{38}And
the
younger
had
a
son
and
gave
him
the
name
Ben-ammi:
from
him come
the
children
of
Ammon
to
this
day.

\par }\Chap{20}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Abraham
went
on
his way
from
there
to
the
land
of
the
South,
and
was
living
between
Kadesh
and
Shur,
in
Gerar.
\VS{2}And
Abraham
said
of
Sarah,
his
wife,
She
is
my
sister:
and
Abimelech,
king
of
Gerar,
sent
and
took
Sarah.
\VS{3}But
God
came
to
Abimelech
in
a
dream
in
the
night,
and
said
to
him, Truly
you
are
a
dead
man
because
of
the
woman
whom
you
have
taken;
for
she
is
a man's
wife.
\VS{4}Now
Abimelech
had
not
come
near
her;
and
he
said,
Lord,
will
you put
to death
an upright
nation?
\VS{5}Did
he
not
say
to
me
himself,
She
is
my
sister?
and
she
herself
said,
He
is
my
brother:
with
an
upright
heart
and clean
hands
have
I
done
this.
\VS{6}And
God
said
to
him
in
the
dream,
I
see
that
you
have
done
this
with
an
upright
heart,
and
I
have
kept
you
from
sinning
against
me:
for
this
reason
I
did
not
let
you
come
near
her.
\VS{7}So
now,
give
the
man
back
his
wife,
for
he
is
a
prophet,
and
let
him say
a prayer
for
you,
so
your
life
may
be safe:
but
if
you
do
not
give
her
back,
be
certain
that
death
will
come
to
you
and
all
your house.
\VS{8}So
Abimelech
got
up
early
in
the
morning
and sent
for
all
his
servants
and
gave
them
word
of
these
things,
and
they
were
full
of
fear.
\VS{9}Then
Abimelech
sent
for
Abraham,
and
said,
What
have
you
done
to
us?
what
wrong
have
I
done
you
that
you
have
put
on
me
and
on
my
kingdom
so
great
a
sin?
You
have
done
to
me
things
which
are
not
to
be
done.
\VS{10}And
Abimelech
said
to
Abraham,
Why
did
you
do
this
thing?
\VS{11}And
Abraham
said,
Because
it seemed
to
me
that
there
was
no
fear
of
God
in
this
place,
and
that
they
might put
me
to death
because
of
my
wife.
\VS{12}And,
in fact,
she
is
my
sister,
the
daughter
of
my
father,
but
not
the
daughter
of
my
mother;
and
she
became
my
wife:
\VS{13}And
when
God
sent
me
wandering
from
my father's
house,
I
said
to
her,
Let
this
be
the sign
of
your
love
for
me;
wherever
we
go,
say
of
me,
He
is
my
brother.
\VS{14}Then
Abimelech
gave
to
Abraham
sheep
and
oxen
and men-servants
and women-servants,
and
gave
him
back
his
wife
Sarah.
\VS{15}And
Abimelech
said,
See,
all
my
land
is
before
you;
take
whatever
place
seems
good
to
you.
\VS{16}And
he
said
to
Sarah,
See,
I
have
given
to
your
brother
a
thousand bits
of
silver
so
that
your wrong
may
be
put
right;
now
your honour
is
clear
in
the
eyes
of
all.
\VS{17}Then
Abraham
made prayer
to
God,
and
God
made
Abimelech well again,
and
his
wife
and
his women-servants,
so
that
they
had
children.
\VS{18}For
the
Lord
had
kept
all
the
women
of
the
house
of
Abimelech
from
having children,
because
of
Sarah, Abraham's
wife.

\par }\Chap{21}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
Lord
came
to
Sarah
as
he
had
said
and
did
to
her
as
he
had undertaken.
\VS{2}And
Sarah
became
with
child,
and
gave
Abraham
a
son
when
he
was
old,
at
the
time
named
by
God.
\VS{3}And
Abraham
gave
to
his
son,
to
whom
Sarah
had
given
birth,
the
name
Isaac.
\VS{4}And
when
his
son
Isaac
was
eight
days
old,
Abraham
made
him undergo circumcision,
as
God
had said
to
him.
\VS{5}Now
Abraham
was
a
hundred
years
old
when
the
birth
of
Isaac
took place.
\VS{6}And
Sarah
said,
God
has
given
me cause
for laughing,
and
everyone
who
has
news
of
it
will
be laughing
with
me.
\VS{7}And
she
said,
Who
would
have
said
to
Abraham
that
Sarah
would
have
a
child
at
her breast?
for see,
I
have
given
him
a
son
now
when
he
is
old.
\VS{8}And
when
the
child
was
old
enough
to
be taken
from
the breast,
Abraham
made
a
great
feast.
\VS{9}And
Sarah
saw
the
son
of
Hagar
the
Egyptian playing
with Isaac.
\VS{10}So
she
said
to
Abraham, Send
away
that woman
and
her
son:
for
the
son
of
that woman
is
not
to
have
a part
in
the heritage
with
my
son
Isaac.
\VS{11}And
this
was
a
great
grief
to
Abraham
because
of
his
son.
\VS{12}But
God
said,
Let
it
not
be
a grief
to
you
because
of
the
boy
and Hagar
his mother;
give ear
to
whatever
Sarah
says
to
you,
because
it
is
from
Isaac
that
your
seed
will take
its
name.
\VS{13}And
I
will
make
a
nation
of
the
son
of
your servant-woman,
because
he
is
your
seed.
\VS{14}And
early
in
the
morning
Abraham
got
up,
and
gave
Hagar some
bread
and
a water-skin,
and
put
the
boy
on
her
back,
and
sent
her
away:
and she
went,
wandering
in
the waste land
of Beer-sheba.
\VS{15}And
when
all
the
water
in
the
skin
was
used
up, she
put
the
child
down
under
a tree.
\VS{16}And
she
went
some
distance
away,
about
an arrow flight,
and seating herself
on
the earth,
she
gave way
to bitter
weeping,
saying,
Let
me
not
see
the
death
of
my
child.
\VS{17}And
the boy's
cry
came
to
the ears
of
God;
and
the
angel
of
God
said
to
Hagar
from
heaven,
Hagar,
why
are
you weeping?
have
no
fear,
for
the child's
cry
has come
to
the ears
of
God.
\VS{18}Come,
take
your
child
in
your
arms,
for
I
will
make
of
him
a
great
nation.
\VS{19}Then
God
made
her
eyes
open,
and
she
saw
a water-spring,
and
she got
water
in
the
skin
and
gave
the
boy
a
drink.
\VS{20}And
God
was
with
the
boy,
and
he
became
tall
and strong,
and
he
became
a bowman,
living
in
the waste land.
\VS{21}And
while
he
was
in
the waste
land
of
Paran,
his
mother
got
him
a
wife
from
the
land
of
Egypt.
\VS{22}Now
at
that
time,
Abimelech
and
Phicol,
the
captain
of
his
army,
said
to
Abraham,
I
see
that
God
is
with
you
in
all
you
do.
\VS{23}Now,
then, give
me
your
oath,
in
the
name
of
God,
that
you
will
not
be false
to
me
or
to
my sons
after
me,
but
that
as
I
have
been good
to
you,
so
you
will
be
to
me
and
to
this
land
where
you
have
been
living.
\VS{24}And
Abraham
said,
I
will give you
my
oath.
\VS{25}But
Abraham
made
a protest
to
Abimelech
because
of
a water-hole
which Abimelech's
servants
had
taken
by
force.
\VS{26}But
Abimelech
said,
I
have
no
idea
who
has
done
this
thing;
you
never
gave
me
word
of
it,
and
I
had
no
knowledge
of
it till
this
day.
\VS{27}And
Abraham
took
sheep
and
oxen
and
gave
them
to
Abimelech,
and
the
two
of
them
made
an
agreement together.
\VS{28}And
Abraham put
seven young
lambs
of
the
flock on
one side
by
themselves.
\VS{29}Then
Abimelech
said,
What
are
these
seven
lambs
which
you
have put
on
one side?
\VS{30}And
he
said,
Take
these
seven
lambs
from
me
as
a witness
that
I
have
made
this water-hole.
\VS{31}So
he
gave
that
place
the
name Beer-sheba,
because
there
the
two
of
them
had
given
their
oaths.
\VS{32}So
they
made
an
agreement
at Beer-sheba,
and
Abimelech
and
Phicol,
the
captain
of
his
army,
went
back
to
the
land
of
the
Philistines.
\VS{33}And
Abraham,
after planting
a holy
tree
in Beer-sheba,
gave
worship
to
the
name
of
the
Lord,
the
Eternal
God.
\VS{34}And
Abraham went
on
living
in
the
land
of
the
Philistines
as
in
a strange
country.

\par }\Chap{22}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
after
these
things,
God
put
Abraham
to
the
test,
and
said
to
him,
Abraham;
and
he
said,
Here
am
I.
\VS{2}And
he
said
to
him,
Take
your
son,
your
dearly
loved
only
son
Isaac,
and
go
to
the
land
of
Moriah
and
give
him
as
a burned
offering
on
one
of
the
mountains
of
which
I
will
give
you knowledge.
\VS{3}And
Abraham
got
up
early
in
the
morning,
and
made ready
his ass,
and
took
with
him
two
of
his
young
men
and
Isaac,
his
son,
and
after
the
wood
for
the burned offering
had
been cut,
he
went
on
his way
to
the
place
of
which
God
had given
him
word.
\VS{4}And
on
the
third
day,
Abraham, lifting
up
his
eyes,
saw
the
place
a
long way
off.
\VS{5}Then
he
said
to
his
young
men, Keep
here
with
the ass;
and
I
and
the
boy
will
go
on
and
give
worship
and
come
back
again
to
you.
\VS{6}And
Abraham
put
the
wood
for
the burned offering
on
his son's
back,
and
he
himself
took
the
fire
and
the
knife
in
his
hand,
and
the
two
of
them went
on
together.
\VS{7}Then
Isaac
said
to
Abraham,
My
father;
and
he
said,
Here am
I,
my
son.
And
he
said, We
have
wood
and
fire
here,
but
where
is
the
lamb
for
the burned offering?
\VS{8}And
Abraham
said,
God himself
will
give
the
lamb
for
the burned offering:
so
they went
on
together.
\VS{9}And
they
came
to
the
place
of
which
God
had given
him knowledge;
and
there
Abraham
made
the
altar
and
put
the
wood
in
place
on
it,
and having
made
tight
the bands round
Isaac
his
son,
he
put
him
on
the
wood
on
the
altar.
\VS{10}And stretching
out
his
hand,
Abraham
took
the
knife
to
put
his
son
to death.
\VS{11}But
the voice
of
the
angel
of
the
Lord
came
from
heaven,
saying,
Abraham,
Abraham:
and
he
said,
Here
am
I.
\VS{12}And
he
said,
Let
not
your
hand
be
stretched
out
against
the
boy
to
do
anything
to
him;
for
now
I
am
certain
that
the
fear
of
God
is
in
your heart,
because
you
have
not
kept
back
your
son,
your
only
son,
from
me.
\VS{13}And lifting
up
his
eyes,
Abraham
saw
a
sheep fixed
by
its
horns
in
the brushwood:
and
Abraham
took
the
sheep
and
made
a burned
offering
of
it
in
place
of
his
son.
\VS{14}And
Abraham
gave
that
place
the
name Yahweh-yireh:
as
it
is
said
to
this
day,
In
the
mountain
the
Lord
is
seen.
\VS{15}And
the voice
of
the
angel
of
the
Lord
came
to
Abraham
a
second
time
from
heaven,
\VS{16}Saying,
I
have taken
an
oath
by
my
name,
says
the
Lord,
because
you
have
done
this
and
have
not
kept
back
from
me
your dearly loved
only
son,
\VS{17}That
I
will
certainly give
you
my
blessing,
and
your
seed
will
be
increased
like
the
stars
of
heaven
and
the
sand
by
the seaside;
your
seed
will
take
the
land
of
those
who
are
against
them;
\VS{18}And
your
seed
will
be
a
blessing
to
all
the
nations
of
the
earth,
because
you
have
done
what
I
gave
you orders
to
do.
\VS{19}Then
Abraham
went
back
to
his
young
men
and
they
went
together
to Beer-sheba,
the place
where
Abraham
was
living.
\VS{20}After
these
things,
Abraham
had
news
that
Milcah,
the wife
of
his
brother
Nahor,
had
given
birth
to
children;
\VS{21}Uz
the
oldest,
and
Buz
his
brother,
and
Kemuel,
the
father
of
Aram,
\VS{22}And
Chesed
and
Hazo
and
Pildash
and
Jidlaph
and
Bethuel.
\VS{23}Bethuel
was
the
father
of
Rebekah:
these
eight
were
the
children
of
Milcah
and
Nahor, Abraham's
brother.
\VS{24}And
his servant
Reumah
gave
birth
to
Tebah
and
Gaham
and
Tahash
and
Maacah.

\par }\Chap{23}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
the
years
of Sarah's
life
were
a
hundred
and twenty-seven.
\VS{2}And Sarah's
death
took
place
in
Kiriath-arba,
that
is,
Hebron,
in
the
land
of
Canaan:
and
Abraham
went
into
his house,
weeping
and sorrowing
for
Sarah.
\VS{3}And
Abraham
came
from
his
dead
and
said
to
the
children
of
Heth,
\VS{4}I
am living
among
you
as one
from
a strange country:
give
me some
land
here
as
my
property,
so
that
I
may
put
my
dead
to rest.
\VS{5}And
in
answer
the
children
of
Heth
said
to
Abraham,
\VS{6}My
lord,
truly
you
are
a
great chief
among
us; take
the best
of
our resting-places
for
your
dead;
not
one
of
us
will
keep
back
from
you
a
place
where
you
may
put
your
dead
to rest.
\VS{7}And
Abraham
got
up
and gave honour
to
the
children
of
Heth,
the
people
of
that
land.
\VS{8}And
he
said
to
them,
If
you
will
let
me
put
my
dead
to rest
here,
make
a
request
for
me
to
Ephron,
the
son
of
Zohar,
\VS{9}That
he
will
give
me
the hollow
in
the rock named
Machpelah,
which
is
his
property
at
the
end
of
his
field;
let
him
give
it
to
me
for
its
full
price
as
a resting-place
for
my dead
among
you.
\VS{10}Now
Ephron
was
seated
among
the
children
of
Heth:
and
Ephron
the
Hittite
gave
Abraham
his
answer
in
the
hearing
of
the
children
of
Heth,
and
of
all
those
who
came
into
his
town,
saying,
\VS{11}No,
my
lord,
I
will
give
you
the
field
with
the hollow
in
the rock;
before all
the
children
of
my
people
will
I
give
it
to
you
for
a resting-place
for
your
dead.
\VS{12}And
Abraham
went
down
on
his
face
before
the
people
of
the
land.
\VS{13}And
Abraham
said
to
Ephron,
in
the
hearing
of
the
people
of
the
land,
If
only
you
will
give
ear
to
me,
I
will
give
you
the
price
of
the
field;
take
it,
and
let
me
put
my
dead
to rest
there.
\VS{14}So
Ephron
said
to
Abraham,
\VS{15}My
lord,
give ear
to
me:
the value
of
the
land
is
four
hundred
shekels;
what
is
that
between
me
and
you?
so
put
your
dead
to rest there.
\VS{16}And
Abraham
took note
of
the
price fixed
by
Ephron
in
the
hearing
of
the
children
of
Heth,
and
gave
him
four
hundred
shekels
in current
money.
\VS{17}So Ephron's
field
at
Machpelah
near
Mamre,
with
the hollow
in
the rock
and
all
the
trees
in
the
field
and
round
it,
\VS{18}Became
the
property
of
Abraham
before
the
eyes
of
the
children
of
Heth
and
of
all
who
came
into
the
town.
\VS{19}Then
Abraham put
Sarah
his
wife
to rest
in
the hollow rock
in
the
field
of
Machpelah
near
Mamre,
that
is,
Hebron
in
the
land
of
Canaan.
\VS{20}And
the
field
and
the hollow rock
were handed
over
to
Abraham
as
his
property
by
the
children
of
Heth.

\par }\Chap{24}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
Abraham
was
old
and
far
on
in
years:
and
the
Lord
had given
him
everything
in
full measure.
\VS{2}And
Abraham
said
to
his chief
servant,
the manager
of
all
his
property,
Come
now,
put
your
hand
under
my leg:
\VS{3}And
take
an
oath
by
the
Lord,
the
God
of
heaven
and
the
God
of
the
earth,
that
you
will
not
get
a
wife
for
my
son Isaac
from
the
daughters
of
the
Canaanites
among
whom
I
am
living;
\VS{4}But
that
you
will go
into
my
country
and
to
my
relations
and
get
a
wife there
for
my
son
Isaac.
\VS{5}And
the
servant
said,
If
by chance
the
woman
will
not
come
with
me
into
this
land, am
I
to
take
your
son
back
again
to
the
land
from
which
you
came?
\VS{6}And
Abraham
said,
Take
care
that
you
do
not let
my
son
go
back
to
that land.
\VS{7}The
Lord
God
of
heaven,
who
took
me
from
my father's
house
and
from
the
land
of
my
birth,
and
made
an
oath
to
me,
saying,
To
your
seed
I
will
give
this
land:
he
will
send
his
angel
before
you
and
give
you
a
wife
for
my
son
in
that
land.
\VS{8}And
if
the
woman
will
not
come
with
you,
then
you
are
free
from
this
oath;
only
do
not
take
my
son
back
there.
\VS{9}And
the
servant
put
his
hand
under Abraham's leg,
and
gave
him
his
oath
about
this
thing.
\VS{10}And
the
servant
took
ten
of
his master's
camels,
and
all sorts
of
good
things
of
his master's,
and
went
to
Mesopotamia,
to
the
town
of
Nahor.
\VS{11}And
he made
the
camels
take
their rest
outside
the
town
by
the water-spring
in
the
evening,
at
the
time
when
the women
came
to
get
water.
\VS{12}And
he
said,
O
Lord,
the
God
of
my
master
Abraham,
let
me
do
well
in
what
I
have undertaken
this
day,
and
give
your
mercy
to
my
master
Abraham.
\VS{13}See,
I
am
waiting
here
by
the water-spring;
and
the
daughters
of
the
town
are
coming
out
to
get
water:
\VS{14}Now,
may
the
girl
to
whom
I
say,
Let
down
your vessel
and
give
me
a
drink,
and
who
says
in
answer, Here
is
a
drink
for
you
and
let
me
give
water
to
your
camels:
may
she
be
the
one marked
out
by
you
for
your
servant
Isaac:
so
may
I
be
certain
that
you
have
been good
to
my
master
Abraham.
\VS{15}And
even
before
his words
were
ended,
Rebekah,
the daughter
of
Bethuel,
the
son
of
Milcah,
who
was
the
wife
of
Nahor, Abraham's
brother,
came
out
with
her water-vessel
on
her arm.
\VS{16}She
was
a
very
beautiful
girl,
a
virgin,
who
had
never
been touched
by
a
man:
and
she
went
down
to
the
spring
to
get
water
in
her vessel.
\VS{17}And
the
servant
came
running
to
her
and
said,
Give
me
a
little
water
from
your vessel.
\VS{18}And
she
said,
Take
a
drink,
my
lord:
and
quickly letting
down
her vessel
onto
her
hand,
she
gave
him
a
drink.
\VS{19}And having done
so,
she
said,
I
will get
water
for
your
camels
till
they
have
had
enough.
\VS{20}And
after putting
the
water
from
her vessel
into
the animals' drinking-place, she
went
quickly
back
to
the spring
and got
water
for
all
the
camels.
\VS{21}And
the
man, looking
at
her, said
nothing, waiting
to
see
if
the
Lord
had given
his
journey
a good outcome.
\VS{22}And
when
the
camels
had
had
enough,
the
man
took
a
gold nose-ring, half
a shekel
in
weight,
and
two ornaments
for
her
arms
of
ten
shekels
weight
of
gold;
\VS{23}And
said
to
her,
Whose
daughter
are
you?
is
there
room
in
your father's
house
for
us?
\VS{24}And
she
said
to
him,
I
am
the
daughter
of
Bethuel,
the
son
of
Milcah, Nahor's wife.
\VS{25}And
she
said, We
have
a
great store
of dry grass
and cattle-food,
and there
is
room
for
you.
\VS{26}And
with bent head
the
man gave
worship
to
the
Lord;
\VS{27}And
said,
Praise
be
to
the
Lord,
the
God
of
my
master
Abraham,
who
has given
a sign
that
he
is good
and
true
to
my
master,
by
guiding
me straight
to
the
house
of
my master's
family.
\VS{28}So
the
girl
went
running
and took
the news
of
these
things
to
her mother's
house
\VS{29}Now
Rebekah
had
a
brother
named
Laban,
and
he
came
out
quickly
to
the
man
at
the water-spring.
\VS{30}And
when
he
saw
the nose-ring
and
the ornaments
on
his sister's
hands,
and
when she
gave
him
word
of
what
the
man
had
said
to
her,
then
he
went
out
to
the
man
who
was waiting
with
the
camels
by
the water-spring.
\VS{31}And
he
said
to
him,
Come
in,
you
on whom
is
the
blessing
of
the
Lord;
why
are
you waiting
outside?
for
I
have made
the
house ready
for
you,
and
a
place
for
the
camels.
\VS{32}Then
the
man
came
into
the
house,
and Laban
took
their cords
off
the
camels
and
gave
them dry grass
and
food,
and
he
gave
to
him
and
the
men
who
were
with
him
water
for
washing
their
feet.
\VS{33}And meat
was put
before
him,
but
he
said,
I
will
not take
food
till
I
have
made
my
business clear
to
you.
And
they
said,
Do
so.
\VS{34}And
he
said,
I
am Abraham's
servant.
\VS{35}The
Lord
has
given
my
master every
blessing,
and
he
has
become
great:
he
has
given
him
flocks
and
herds
and
silver
and
gold,
and men-servants
and women-servants
and
camels
and asses.
\VS{36}And
when
Sarah,
my master's
wife,
was
old,
she
gave
birth
to
a
son,
to
whom
he
has
given
all
he
has.
\VS{37}And
my
master
made
me
take
an
oath,
saying,
Do
not
get
a
wife
for
my
son
from
the
daughters
of
the
Canaanites
among
whom
I
am
living;
\VS{38}But go
to
my father's
house
and
to
my
relations
for
a
wife
for
my
son.
\VS{39}And
I
said
to
my
master, What
if
the
woman
will
not come
with
me?
\VS{40}And
he
said,
The
Lord,
whom
I
have ever kept
before
me,
will
send
his
angel
with
you,
who
will
make
it possible
for
you
to
get
a
wife
for
my
son
from
my
relations
and
my father's
house;
\VS{41}And
you
will
be
free
from
your
oath
to
me
when
you
come
to
my
people;
and
if
they
will
not
give
her
to
you,
you
will
be
free
from
your
oath.
\VS{42}And
I
came
today
to
the water-spring,
and
I
said,
O
Lord,
the
God
of
my
master
Abraham,
if
it
is
your purpose
to
give
a good outcome
to
my
journey,
\VS{43}Let
it
come
about
that,
while
I
am
waiting
here
by
the water-spring,
if
a
girl
comes
to
get
water
and
I
say
to
her,
Give
me
a
little
water
from
your vessel,
and
she
says,
\VS{44}Take
a
drink,
and
I
will get
water
for
your
camels; let
her
be
the
woman marked
out
by
the
Lord
for
my master's
son.
\VS{45}And
even
while
I
was
saying
this
to
myself,
Rebekah
came
out
with
her vessel
on
her arm;
and
she
went
down
to
the
spring
to
get
water;
and
I
said
to
her,
Give
me
a
drink.
\VS{46}And straight away
she
took
down
her vessel
from
her arm,
and
said,
Take
a
drink,
and
I
will get
water
for
your
camels.
\VS{47}And questioning
her,
I
said,
Whose
daughter
are
you?
And
she
said,
The
daughter
of
Bethuel,
the
son
of
Nahor,
and
Milcah
his wife.
Then
I
put
the
ring
on
her
nose
and
the ornaments
on
her
hands.
\VS{48}And
with bent head
I
gave
worship
and
praise
to
the
Lord,
the
God
of
my
master
Abraham,
by
whom
I
had
been
guided
in
the
right
way,
to
get
the
daughter
of
my master's
brother
for
his
son.
\VS{49}And
now,
say
if
you
will
do
what
is good
and
right
for
my
master
or
not,
in order
that
it
may
be
clear
to
me
what
I
have
to
do.
\VS{50}Then
Laban
and
Bethuel
said
in
answer,
This
is
the Lord's
doing:
it
is
not
for
us
to
say Yes
or
No
to
you.
\VS{51}See,
here
is
Rebekah:
take
her
and
go,
and
let
her
be
your master's son's
wife,
as
the
Lord
has
said.
\VS{52}And
at
these
words, Abraham's
servant
went
down
on
his face
and
gave praise
to
the
Lord.
\VS{53}Then
he
took
jewels
of
silver
and
jewels
of
gold
and fair
robes
and
gave
them
to
Rebekah:
and
he
gave
things
of value
to
her
mother
and
her
brother.
\VS{54}Then
he
and
the
men
who
were
with
him
had
food
and
drink,
and
took
their rest
there
that night;
and
in
the
morning
he
got
up,
and
said,
Let
me now
go back
to
my
master.
\VS{55}But
her
brother
and
her
mother
said, Let
the
girl
be
with
us
a week
or
ten
days,
and
then
she
may go.
\VS{56}And
he
said,
Do
not keep
me;
the
Lord
has given
a good outcome
to
my
journey;
let
me now
go
back
to
my
master.
\VS{57}And
they
said, We
will send
for
the
girl,
and let
her
make
the decision.
\VS{58}And
they
sent
for
Rebekah
and
said
to
her,
Are
you ready
to go
with
this
man?
And
she
said,
I am ready.
\VS{59}So
they
sent
their
sister
Rebekah
and
her
servant
with Abraham's
servant
and
his
men.
\VS{60}And
they
gave
Rebekah
their
blessing,
saying,
O
sister,
may
you
be
the mother
of
thousands
and
ten
thousands;
and
may
your
seed overcome
all
those
who make war
against
them.
\VS{61}So
Rebekah
and
her servant-women
went
with
the
man,
seated
on
the
camels;
and
so
the
servant
took
Rebekah
and
went
on
his
way.
\VS{62}Now
Isaac
had
come
through
the waste
land
to
Beer-lahai-roi;
for
he
was
living
in
the
South.
\VS{63}And
when
the
evening
was near,
he
went wandering
out
into
the
fields,
and lifting
up
his
eyes
he
saw
camels
coming.
\VS{64}And
when
Rebekah,
looking
up,
saw
Isaac,
she got
down
from
her
camel,
\VS{65}And
said
to
the
servant,
Who
is
that
man
coming
to
us
through
the
field?
And
the
servant
said,
It
is
my
master:
then
she
took
her
veil,
covering
her face
with
it.
\VS{66}Then
the
servant
gave
Isaac
the story
of
all
he
had
done.
\VS{67}And
Isaac
took
Rebekah
into
his
tent
and
she
became
his
wife;
and
in
his
love
for
her,
Isaac
was
comforted
after
his father's death.

\par }\Chap{25}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Abraham
took
another
wife
named
Keturah.
\VS{2}She
became
the mother
of
Zimran
and
Jokshan
and
Medan
and
Midian
and
Ishbak
and
Shuah.
\VS{3}And
Jokshan
became
the
father
of
Sheba
and
Dedan.
And
from
Dedan
came
the Asshurim
and
Letushim
and
Leummim.
\VS{4}And
from
Midian came
Ephah
and
Epher
and
Hanoch
and
Abida
and
Eldaah.
All
these
were
the
offspring
of
Keturah.
\VS{5}Now
Abraham
gave
all
his
property
to
Isaac;
\VS{6}But
to
the
sons
of
his
other women
he
gave offerings,
and
sent
them
away,
while
he
was
still
living,
into
the
east
country.
\VS{7}Now
the
years
of Abraham's
life
were
a
hundred
and
seventy-five.
\VS{8}And
Abraham
came
to
his
death, an
old
man,
full
of
years;
and
he
was
put
to rest
with
his
people.
\VS{9}And
Isaac
and
Ishmael,
his
sons, put
him
to rest
in
the hollow rock
of
Machpelah,
in
the
field
of
Ephron,
the
son
of
Zohar
the
Hittite,
near
Mamre;
\VS{10}The
same
field
which
Abraham got
from
the
children
of
Heth:
there
Abraham
was put
to rest
with
Sarah,
his
wife.
\VS{11}Now
after
the
death
of
Abraham,
the
blessing
of
God
was
with
Isaac,
his
son.
\VS{12}Now
these
are
the
generations
of
Ishmael,
the
son
of
Abraham,
whose mother
was
Hagar
the
Egyptian,
the
servant
of
Sarah:
\VS{13}These
are
the
names
of
the
sons
of
Ishmael
by their
generations: Ishmael's first
son
was
Nebaioth;
then
Kedar
and
Adbeel
and
Mibsam
\VS{14}And
Mishma
and
Dumah
and
Massa,
\VS{15}Hadad
and
Tema,
Jetur,
Naphish,
and
Kedemah:
\VS{16}These
are
the
sons
of
Ishmael,
and
these
are
their
names
in
their
towns
and
their tent-circles;
twelve
chiefs
with
their
peoples.
\VS{17}And
the
years
of Ishmael's
life
were
a
hundred
and thirty-seven:
and
he
came
to
his end,
and
was
put
to rest
with
his
people.
\VS{18}And
their country
was
from
Havilah
to
Shur
which
is
east
of
Egypt:
they
took
their
place
to
the
east
of
all
their
brothers.
\VS{19}Now
these
are
the
generations
of Abraham's
son
Isaac:
\VS{20}Isaac
was
forty
years
old
when
he
took
Rebekah,
the
daughter
of
Bethuel
the Aramaean
of
Paddan-aram,
and
the
sister
of
Laban
the Aramaean,
to
be
his
wife.
\VS{21}Isaac
made
prayer
to
the
Lord
for
his
wife
because
she
had no children;
and
the
Lord gave ear
to
his
prayer,
and
Rebekah became
with
child.
\VS{22}And
the
children
were fighting
together
inside
her,
and
she
said,
If
it
is
to
be
so,
why
am
I
like
this?
So
she went
to put
her question
to
the
Lord.
\VS{23}And
the
Lord
said
to
her,
Two
nations
are
in
your
body,
and
two
peoples
will come
to
birth
from
you:
the
one
will
be
stronger
than
the
other,
and
the older
will
be
the
servant
of
the
younger.
\VS{24}And
when
the
time came
for
her
to
give
birth,
there
were two
children
in
her
body.
\VS{25}And
the
first
came
out
red
from head
to foot
like
a
robe
of
hair,
and
they
gave
him
the
name
of
Esau.
\VS{26}And
after
him,
his
brother
came
out, gripping Esau's foot;
and
he
was
named
Jacob:
Isaac
was
sixty
years
old
when
she
gave
birth
to
them.
\VS{27}And
the
boys
came
to full growth;
and
Esau
became
a
man
of
the open
country,
an
expert bowman;
but
Jacob
was
a quiet
man,
living
in
tents.
\VS{28}Now Isaac's
love
was
for
Esau,
because Esau's meat
was greatly
to
his
taste:
but
Rebekah
had
more
love
for
Jacob.
\VS{29}And
one day
Jacob
was cooking
some soup
when
Esau
came
in
from
the
fields
in great need
of
food;
\VS{30}And
Esau
said
to
Jacob,
Give
me
a full meal
of
that
red soup,
for
I
am overcome
with
need
for food:
for
this
reason
he
was
named
Edom.
\VS{31}And
Jacob
said,
First
of
all give
me
your
birthright.
\VS{32}And
Esau
said, Truly,
I
am
at
the point
of
death:
what profit
is
the
birthright
to
me?
\VS{33}And
Jacob
said,
First
of
all give
me
your
oath;
and
he
gave
him
his
oath, handing
over
his
birthright
to
Jacob.
\VS{34}Then
Jacob
gave
him
bread
and soup;
and
he
took
food
and
drink
and
went
away, caring little
for
his
birthright.

\par }\Chap{26}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Then
came
a
time
of great need
in
the
land,
like
that
which
had
been
before
in
the
days
of
Abraham.
And
Isaac
went
to
Abimelech,
king
of
the
Philistines,
at
Gerar.
\VS{2}And
the
Lord
came
to
him
in
a
vision
and
said,
Do
not
go
down
to
Egypt;
keep
in
the
land
of
which
I
will
give
you knowledge:
\VS{3}Keep
in
this
land,
and
I
will
be
with
you
and
give
you
my
blessing;
for
to
you
and
to
your
seed
will
I
give
all
these
lands,
giving
effect
to
the
oath
which
I
made
to
your
father
Abraham;
\VS{4}I
will
make
your
seed
like
the
stars
of
heaven
in
number,
and
will
give
them
all
these
lands,
and
your
seed
will
be
a
blessing
to
all
the
nations
of
the
earth;
\VS{5}Because
Abraham
gave ear
to
my
voice
and
kept
my
words,
my
rules,
my
orders,
and
my
laws.
\VS{6}So
Isaac went
on
living
in
Gerar;
\VS{7}And
when
he
was
questioned
by
the
men
of
the
place
about
his
wife,
he
said,
She
is
my
sister; fearing
to
say,
She
is
my
wife;
for,
he
said,
the
men
of
the
place
may put
me
to death
on
account
of
Rebekah;
because
she
is very
beautiful.
\VS{8}And
when
he
had
been
there
for
some
time,
Abimelech,
king
of
the
Philistines,
looking
through
a
window,
saw
Isaac playing
with
Rebekah
his
wife.
\VS{9}And
he
said
to
Isaac,
It
is clear
that
she
is
your
wife:
why
then did
you
say,
She
is
my
sister?
And
Isaac
said,
For
fear
that
I
might
be
put
to
death
because
of
her.
\VS{10}Then
Abimelech
said,
What
have
you
done
to
us?
one
of
the
people might well
have
had
connection
with
your
wife,
and
the
sin
would
have
been ours.
\VS{11}And
Abimelech
gave
orders
to
his
people
that
anyone
touching
Isaac
or
his
wife
was
to
be
put
to
death.
\VS{12}Now
Isaac, planting
seed
in
that
land, got
in
the
same
year fruit
a
hundred
times
as much,
for
the
blessing
of
the
Lord
was
on
him.
\VS{13}And
his wealth
became
very
great, increasing
more
and
more;
\VS{14}For
he
had
great wealth
of
flocks
and
herds
and
great numbers
of
servants;
so
that
the
Philistines
were
full
of
envy.
\VS{15}Now
all
the water-holes,
which
his father's
servants
had
made
in
the
days
of
Abraham,
had
been
stopped
up
with
earth
by
the
Philistines.
\VS{16}And
Abimelech
said
to
Isaac, Go
away
from
us,
for
you
are stronger
than
we
are.
\VS{17}So
Isaac went away
from
there,
and put
up
his tents
in
the
valley
of
Gerar, making
his living-place
there.
\VS{18}And
he
made
again
the water-holes
which
had
been
made
in
the
days
of
Abraham
his
father,
and
which
had
been
stopped
up
by
the
Philistines;
and
he
gave
them
the
names
which
his
father
had
given
them.
\VS{19}Now Isaac's
servants made holes
in
the
valley,
and
came
to
a
spring
of
flowing
water.
\VS{20}But
the herdmen
of
Gerar
had
a
fight
with Isaac's herdmen,
for
they
said,
The
spring
is ours:
so
he
gave
the
spring
the
name
of
Esek,
because there
was
a
fight
about
it.
\VS{21}Then
they
made
another water-hole,
and there
was
a
fight
about
that,
so
he
gave
it
the
name
of
Sitnah.
\VS{22}Then
he went
away
from
there,
and
made
another water-hole,
about
which
there
was
no fighting:
so
he
gave
it
the
name
of
Rehoboth,
for
he
said,
Now
the
Lord
has
made
room
for
us,
and
we
will
have
fruit
in
this
land.
\VS{23}And
from
there
he
went
on
to Beer-sheba.
\VS{24}That
night
the
Lord
came
to
him
in
a
vision,
and
said,
I
am
the
God
of
your
father
Abraham:
have
no
fear
for
I
am
with
you,
blessing
you,
and
your
seed
will
be
increased
because
of
my
servant
Abraham.
\VS{25}Then
he
made
an
altar
there,
and
gave
worship
to
the
name
of
the
Lord,
and
he put
up
his
tents
there,
and
there
his
servants
made
a water-hole.
\VS{26}And
Abimelech
had
come
to
him
from
Gerar,
with
Ahuzzath
his friend
and
Phicol,
the
captain
of
his
army.
\VS{27}And
Isaac
said
to
them,
Why
have
you
come
to
me, seeing
that
in
your
hate
for
me
you
sent
me
away
from
you?
\VS{28}And
they
said,
We
saw clearly
that
the
Lord
was
with
you:
so
we
said,
Let
there
be
an
oath
between
us
and
you,
and
let
us
make
an
agreement
with
you;
\VS{29}That
you
will
do
us
no damage,
even
as
we
put
no hand
on
you,
and
did
you
nothing
but
good,
and
sent
you
away
in
peace:
and
now
the
blessing
of
the
Lord
is
on
you.
\VS{30}Then
he
made
a
feast
for
them,
and
they
all
had
food
and
drink.
\VS{31}And
early
in
the
morning
they
took
an
oath
one
to
the
other:
then
Isaac
sent
them
away
and
they
went
on
their
way
in
peace.
\VS{32}And
that
day Isaac's
servants
came
to
him
and
gave
him
word
of
the water-hole
which
they
had
made,
and
said
to
him,
We
have
come
to
water.
\VS{33}And
he
gave
it
the
name
of
Shibah:
so
the
name
of
that
town
is Beer-sheba
to
this
day.
\VS{34}And
when
Esau
was
forty
years
old,
he
took
as
his
wives
Judith,
the
daughter
of
Beeri
the
Hittite,
and
Basemath,
the
daughter
of
Elon
the
Hittite:
\VS{35}And
Isaac
and
Rebekah
had grief
of
mind because
of
them.

\par }\Chap{27}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
when
Isaac
was
old
and
his
eyes
had
become clouded
so
that
he
was
not able
to
see,
he
sent
for
Esau,
his first
son,
and
said
to
him,
My
son:
and
he
said,
Here
am
I.
\VS{2}And
he
said,
See
now,
I
am
old,
and
my
death
may
take place
at
any
time:
\VS{3}So
take
your
arrows
and
your
bow
and
go
out
to
the
field
and
get meat
for
me;
\VS{4}And
make
me
food, good
to
the taste,
such
as
is pleasing
to
me,
and
put
it
before
me,
so
that
I
may
have
a meal
and
give
you
my
blessing
before
death
comes
to
me.
\VS{5}Now Isaac's words
to
his
son
were
said
in Rebekah's
hearing.
Then
Esau
went
out
to
get
the meat.
\VS{6}And
Rebekah
said
to
Jacob,
her
son,
Your
father
said
to
your
brother
Esau
in
my
hearing,
\VS{7}Go
and
get some roe's meat
and
make
me
a good meal,
so
that
I
may
be full,
and
give
you
my
blessing
before
the
Lord
before
my
death.
\VS{8}Now,
my
son,
do
what
I
say.
\VS{9}Go
to
the
flock
and
get
me
two fat
young
goats;
and
I
will
make
of
them
a meal
to
your father's taste:
\VS{10}And
you
will
take
it
to
him,
so
that
he
may
have
a good meal
and
give
you
his
blessing
before
his
death.
\VS{11}And
Jacob
said
to
Rebekah,
his
mother,
But
Esau
my
brother
is covered
with hair,
while
I
am
smooth:
\VS{12}If
by chance
my
father puts
his hand
on
me,
it
will
seem
to
him
that
I
am tricking
him,
and
he
will
put
a
curse
on
me
in
place
of
a
blessing.
\VS{13}And
his
mother
said,
Let
the
curse
be
on
me,
my
son:
only
do
as
I
say,
and go
and
get
them
for
me.
\VS{14}So
he
went
and
got
them
and
took
them
to
his
mother:
and
she
made
a meal
to
his father's taste.
\VS{15}And
Rebekah
took
the fair
robes
of
her
oldest
son,
which
were
with
her
in
the
house,
and
put
them
on
Jacob,
her
younger
son:
\VS{16}And she
put
the
skins
of
the
young
goats
on
his
hands
and
on
the smooth
part
of
his
neck:
\VS{17}And
she
gave
into
the
hand
of
Jacob,
her
son,
the meat
and
the
bread
which
she
had
made ready.
\VS{18}And
he
came
to
his
father,
and
said,
My
father:
and
he
said,
Here am
I:
who
are
you,
my
son?
\VS{19}And
Jacob
said,
I
am
Esau,
your
oldest son;
I
have
done
as
you
said:
come
now,
be
seated
and
take
of
my meat,
so
that
you
may
give
me
a
blessing.
\VS{20}And
Isaac
said,
How
is
it
that
you
have got
it
so
quickly,
my
son?
And
he
said,
Because
the
Lord
your
God
made
it
come
my
way.
\VS{21}And
Isaac
said,
Come
near
so
that
I
may
put
my hand
on
you,
my
son,
and
see
if
you
are
truly
my
son
Esau
or
not.
\VS{22}And
Jacob
went
near
his
father
Isaac:
and
he
put
his
hands
on
him;
and
he
said,
The
voice
is Jacob's
voice,
but
the
hands
are
the
hands
of
Esau.
\VS{23}And
he
did
not
make
out
who
he
was,
because
his
hands
were covered
with hair
like
his
brother Esau's
hands:
so
he
gave
him
a
blessing.
\VS{24}And
he
said,
Are
you truly
my
son
Esau?
And
he
said,
I
am.
\VS{25}And
he
said,
Put
it before
me
and
I
will
take
of
my son's meat,
so
that
I
may
give
you
a
blessing.
And
he
put
it before
him
and
he
took
it;
and
he
gave
him
wine,
and
he
had
a
drink.
\VS{26}And
his
father
Isaac
said
to
him,
Come
near
now,
my
son,
and
give
me
a kiss.
\VS{27}And
he
came
near
and
gave
him
a kiss;
and smelling
the
smell
of
his
clothing,
he
gave
him
a
blessing,
and
said,
See,
the
smell
of
my
son
is
like
the
smell
of
a
field
on
which
the
blessing
of
the
Lord
has
come:
\VS{28}May
God
give
you
the
dew
of
heaven,
and
the good things
of
the
earth,
and
grain
and
wine
in full measure:
\VS{29}Let
peoples
be
your
servants,
and
nations go
down before
you:
be
lord over
your
brothers,
and let
your mother's
sons go
down before
you:
a
curse
be on everyone
by whom
you
are
cursed,
and
a
blessing on
those
who give
you
a
blessing.
\VS{30}And
when
Isaac
had
come
to
the
end
of
blessing
Jacob,
and
Jacob
had
not
long
gone
away
from
Isaac
his
father,
Esau
came
in
from
the field.
\VS{31}And
he
made ready
a meal,
good
to
the taste,
and
took
it
to
his
father,
and
said
to
him,
Let
my
father
get
up
and
take
of
his son's meat,
so
that
you
may
give
me
a
blessing.
\VS{32}And
Isaac
his
father
said
to
him,
Who
are
you?
And
he
said,
I
am
your
oldest
son,
Esau.
\VS{33}And
in
great
fear
Isaac
said,
Who
then
is
he
who got meat
and
put
it
before
me,
and
I
took
it
all
before
you
came,
and
gave
him
a
blessing,
and
his
it
will
be?
\VS{34}And
hearing
the
words
of
his
father,
Esau
gave
a
great
and
bitter
cry,
and
said
to
his
father,
Give
a
blessing
to
me,
even
to
me,
O
my
father!
\VS{35}And
he
said,
Your
brother
came
with
deceit,
and
took
away
your
blessing.
\VS{36}And
he
said,
Is
it
because
he
is
named
Jacob
that
he
has
twice
taken
my
place?
for
he
took
away
my
birthright,
and
now
he
has
taken
away
my
blessing.
And
he
said,
Have
you
not kept
a
blessing
for
me?
\VS{37}And
Isaac answering
said,
But
I
have
made
him
your
master,
and
have
given
him
all
his
brothers
for
servants;
I
have
made
him strong
with
grain
and
wine:
what
then
am
I
to
do
for
you,
my
son?
\VS{38}And
Esau
said
to
his
father,
Is
that
the
only
blessing
you
have,
my
father?
give
a
blessing
to
me,
even
me!
And
Esau
was overcome
with
weeping.
\VS{39}Then
Isaac
his
father
made
answer
and
said
to
him,
Far
from
the fertile
places
of
the
earth,
and
far
from
the
dew
of
heaven
on high
will
your living-place
be:
\VS{40}By
your
sword
will
you get
your living
and
you
will
be
your brother's
servant;
but
when
your power
is increased
his
yoke
will
be broken
from
off
your
neck.
\VS{41}So
Esau
was
full
of hate
for
Jacob
because
of
his father's
blessing;
and
he
said
in
his
heart,
The
days
of weeping
for
my
father
are
near;
then
I
will put
my
brother
Jacob
to death.
\VS{42}Then
Rebekah, hearing
what
Esau
had
said,
sent
for
Jacob,
her
younger
son,
and
said
to
him,
It seems
that
your
brother
Esau
is purposing
to
put
you
to death.
\VS{43}So
now,
my
son,
do
what
I
say:
go quickly
to
Haran,
to
my
brother
Laban;
\VS{44}And
be
there
with
him
for
a little
time,
till
your brother's
wrath
is
turned
away;
\VS{45}Till
the memory
of
what
you
have
done
to
him
is past
and
he
is
no longer
angry:
then
I
will
send word
for
you
to
come
back;
are
the
two
of
you
to
be
taken
from
me
in
one
day?
\VS{46}Then
Rebekah
said
to
Isaac,
My
life
is
a weariness
to
me
because
of
the
daughters
of
Heth:
if
Jacob
takes
a
wife
from
among
the
daughters
of
Heth,
such
as
these,
the
women
of
this
land,
of
what
use
will
my
life
be
to
me?

\par }\Chap{28}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Then
Isaac
sent
for
Jacob,
and
blessing
him,
said,
Do
not
take
a
wife
from
among
the
women
of
Canaan;
\VS{2}But
go
to
Paddan-aram,
to
the
house
of
Bethuel,
your mother's
father,
and
there
get
yourself
a
wife
from
the
daughters
of
Laban,
your mother's
brother.
\VS{3}And
may
God,
the Ruler
of
all,
give
you
his
blessing, giving
you
fruit
and
increase,
so
that
you
may
become
an
army
of
peoples.
\VS{4}And
may
God
give
you
the
blessing
of
Abraham,
to
you
and
to
your
seed,
so
that
the
land
of
your wanderings,
which
God
gave
to
Abraham,
may
be
your heritage.
\VS{5}So
Isaac
sent
Jacob
away:
and
he
went
to
Paddan-aram,
to
Laban,
son
of
Bethuel
the Aramaean,
the
brother
of
Rebekah,
the
mother
of
Jacob
and
Esau.
\VS{6}So
when
Esau
saw
that
Isaac
had
given
Jacob
his
blessing,
and
sent
him
away
to
Paddan-aram
to
get
a
wife
for
himself
there,
blessing
him
and
saying
to
him,
Do
not
take
a
wife
from
among
the
women
of
Canaan;
\VS{7}And
that
Jacob
had done
as
his
father
and
mother
said
and
had gone
to
Paddan-aram;
\VS{8}It
was clear
to
Esau
that
his
father
had no love
for
the
women
of
Canaan,
\VS{9}So
Esau
went
to
Ishmael
and
took
Mahalath,
the
daughter
of Abraham's
son
Ishmael,
the
sister
of
Nebaioth,
to
be
his
wife
in
addition
to
the
wives
he
had.
\VS{10}So
Jacob
went
out
from Beer-sheba
to
go
to
Haran.
\VS{11}And
coming
to
a certain
place,
he
made
it
his resting-place
for
the night,
for
the
sun
had
gone
down;
and
he
took
one
of
the
stones
which
were
there,
and
putting
it
under
his
head
he
went
to
sleep
in
that
place.
\VS{12}And
he
had
a
dream,
and
in
his
dream
he
saw steps stretching
from
earth
to
heaven,
and
the
angels
of
God
were
going
up
and
down
on
them.
\VS{13}And
he
saw
the
Lord
by
his side,
saying,
I
am
the
Lord,
the
God
of
Abraham
your
father,
and
the
God
of
Isaac:
I
will
give
to
you
and
to
your
seed
this
land
on
which
you
are sleeping.
\VS{14}Your
seed
will
be
like
the
dust
of
the
earth, covering
all
the
land
to
the
west
and
to
the
east,
to
the
north
and
to
the
south:
you
and
your
seed
will
be
a name
of
blessing
to
all
the
families
of
the
earth.
\VS{15}And
truly,
I
will
be
with
you,
and
will
keep
you
wherever
you
go, guiding
you
back
again
to
this
land;
and
I
will
not
give
you
up
till
I
have
done
what
I
have
said
to
you.
\VS{16}And
Jacob, awaking
from
his
sleep,
said,
Truly,
the
Lord
is
in
this
place
and
I
was
not conscious
of
it.
\VS{17}And
fear
came
on
him,
and
he
said,
This
is
a holy
place;
this
is
nothing
less
than
the
house
of
God
and
the doorway
of
heaven.
\VS{18}And
early
in
the
morning
Jacob
took
the
stone
which
had
been
under
his
head,
and
put
it
up
as
a
pillar
and
put
oil
on
it.
\VS{19}And
he
gave
that
place
the
name
of Beth-el,
but
before
that
time
the
town
was
named
Luz.
\VS{20}Then
Jacob
took
an oath,
and
said,
If
God
will
be
with
me,
and
keep
me safe
on
my
journey,
and
give
me
food
and
clothing
to
put
on,
\VS{21}So
that
I
come
again
to
my father's
house
in
peace,
then
I
will
take
the
Lord
to
be
my
God,
\VS{22}And
this
stone
which
I
have
put
up
for
a
pillar
will
be God's
house:
and
of
all
you
give
me,
I
will
give
a
tenth part
to
you.

\par }\Chap{29}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Then
Jacob
went
on
his
journey till
he came
to
the
land
of
the
children
of
the
East.
\VS{2}And
there
he
saw
a water-hole
in
a
field,
and
by
the side
of
it
three
flocks
of
sheep,
for
there
they got
water
for
the
sheep:
and
on
the
mouth
of
the water-hole
there
was
a
great
stone.
\VS{3}And
all
the
flocks
would
come
together
there,
and
when
the
stone
had
been
rolled
away,
they
would
give
the
sheep
water,
and
put
the
stone
back
again
in
its
place
on
the
mouth
of
the water-hole.
\VS{4}Then
Jacob
said
to
the herdmen,
My
brothers,
where do
you come
from?
And
they
said,
From
Haran.
\VS{5}And
he
said
to
them,
Have
you any
knowledge
of
Laban,
the
son
of
Nahor?
And
they
said, We
have.
\VS{6}And
he
said
to
them,
Is
he
well?
And
they
said,
He
is
well,
and
here
is
Rachel
his
daughter
coming
with
the
sheep.
\VS{7}Then
Jacob
said,
The sun
is
still
high
and
it
is
not
time
to get
the
cattle
together: get
water
for
the
sheep
and
go
and
give
them
their food.
\VS{8}And
they
said,
We
are
not
able
to
do
so
till
all
the
flocks
have come
together
and
the
stone
has
been
rolled
away
from
the
mouth
of
the water-hole;
then
we
will get
water
for
the
sheep.
\VS{9}While
he
was
still
talking
with
them,
Rachel
came
with
her father's
sheep,
for
she
took care
of
them.
\VS{10}Then
when
Jacob
saw
Rachel,
the
daughter
of
Laban,
his mother's
brother,
coming
with Laban's
sheep,
he
came
near,
and rolling
the
stone
away
from
the
mouth
of
the hole,
he got
water
for Laban's
flock.
\VS{11}And
weeping
for joy,
Jacob gave
Rachel
a kiss.
\VS{12}And
Rachel, hearing
from
Jacob
that
he
was
her father's relation
and
that
he
was
the
son
of
Rebekah, went
running
to
give
her
father news
of
it.
\VS{13}And
Laban,
hearing
news
of
Jacob,
his sister's
son,
came
running,
and
took
Jacob
in
his arms,
and kissing
him,
made
him
come
into
his
house.
And
Jacob
gave
him
news
of
everything.
\VS{14}And
Laban
said
to
him,
Truly,
you
are
my
bone
and
my
flesh.
And
he kept
Jacob
with
him
for
the space
of
a
month.
\VS{15}Then
Laban
said
to
Jacob,
Because
you
are
my
brother
are
you
to
be
my
servant
for
nothing?
say
now,
what
is
your
payment
to
be?
\VS{16}Now
Laban
had
two
daughters:
the
name
of
the
older
was
Leah,
and
the
name
of
the
younger
was
Rachel.
\VS{17}And Leah's
eyes
were clouded,
but
Rachel
was
fair
in
face
and
form.
\VS{18}And
Jacob
was
in
love
with
Rachel;
and
he
said,
I
will
be
your
servant
seven
years
for
Rachel,
your
younger
daughter.
\VS{19}And
Laban
said,
It
is
better
for
you
to
have
her
than
another
man: go
on
living here
with
me.
\VS{20}And
Jacob
did
seven years'
work
for
Rachel;
and
because
of
his
love
for
her
it
seemed
to
him
only
a very little
time.
\VS{21}Then
Jacob
said
to
Laban,
Give
me
my
wife
so
that
I
may
have
her,
for
the
days
are
ended.
\VS{22}And
Laban got
together
all
the
men
of
the
place
and
gave
a
feast.
\VS{23}And
in
the
evening
he
took
Leah,
his
daughter,
and
gave
her
to
him,
and
he
went
in
to
her.
\VS{24}And
Laban
gave
Zilpah,
his servant-girl,
to
Leah,
to
be
her waiting-woman.
\VS{25}And
in
the
morning
Jacob
saw
that
it
was
Leah:
and
he
said
to
Laban,
What
have
you
done
to
me?
was
I
not
working
for
you
so
that
I might
have
Rachel?
why
have
you
been false
to
me?
\VS{26}And
Laban
said,
In
our
country
we
do
not
let
the
younger daughter
be married
before
the older.
\VS{27}Let
the
week
of
the bride-feast
come
to
its end
and
then
we
will
give
you
the
other
in
addition,
if
you
will
be
my
servant
for
another
seven
years.
\VS{28}And
Jacob
did
so;
and
when
the
week
was
ended, Laban
gave
him
his
daughter
Rachel
for
his
wife.
\VS{29}And
Laban
gave
Rachel
his servant-girl
Bilhah
to
be
her waiting-woman.
\VS{30}Then
Jacob
took
Rachel
as
his wife,
and
his
love
for
her
was greater
than
his
love
for
Leah;
and
he
went
on
working
for
Laban
for
another
seven
years.
\VS{31}Now
the
Lord,
seeing
that
Leah
was
not loved, gave
her
a child;
while
Rachel
had no children.
\VS{32}And
Leah
was
with
child,
and
gave
birth
to
a
son
to
whom
she
gave
the
name
Reuben:
for
she
said,
The
Lord
has
seen
my sorrow;
now
my
husband
will
have
love
for
me.
\VS{33}Then
she
became
with
child
again,
and
gave
birth
to
a
son;
and
said,
Because
it
has come
to
the Lord's ears
that
I
am
not loved,
he
has
given
me
this
son
in
addition:
and
she
gave
him
the
name
Simeon.
\VS{34}And
she
was
with
child
again,
and
gave
birth
to
a
son;
and
said,
Now
at last
my
husband
will
be united
to
me,
because
I
have
given
him
three
sons:
so
he
was
named
Levi.
\VS{35}And
she
was
with
child
again,
and
gave
birth
to
a
son:
and
she
said,
This
time
I
will
give
praise
to
the
Lord:
so
he
was
named
Judah;
after
this
she
had no
more
children
for
a
time.

\par }\Chap{30}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
Rachel,
because
she
had
no
children,
was full
of
envy
of
her
sister;
and
she
said
to
Jacob,
If
you
do
not
give
me
children
I
will
not go
on living.
\VS{2}But
Jacob
was
angry
with
Rachel,
and
said,
Am
I
in
the
place
of
God,
who
has
kept
your
body
from having
fruit?
\VS{3}Then
she
said,
Here
is
my
servant
Bilhah,
go
in
to
her,
so
that
she
may
have
a
child
on
my
knees,
and
I
may
have
a family
by
her.
\VS{4}So she
gave
him
her
servant
Bilhah
as
a
wife,
and
Jacob
went
in
to
her.
\VS{5}And
Bilhah
became with
child,
and
gave
birth
to
a
son.
\VS{6}Then
Rachel
said,
God
has been
my
judge,
and
has
given ear
to
my
voice,
and
has
given
me
a
son;
so
he
was
named
Dan.
\VS{7}And
again
Bilhah, Rachel's
servant,
was
with
child,
and
gave
birth
to
a
second
son.
\VS{8}And
Rachel
said,
I
have
had
a
great fight
with
my
sister,
and
I
have
overcome
her:
and
she
gave
the
child
the
name
Naphtali.
\VS{9}When
it
was clear
to
Leah
that
she
would
have
no
more
children
for
a time,
she
gave
Zilpah,
her
servant,
to
Jacob
as
a
wife.
\VS{10}And
Zilpah, Leah's
servant,
gave
birth
to
a
son.
\VS{11}And
Leah
said,
It has gone well
for
me:
and
she
gave
him
the
name
Gad.
\VS{12}And
Zilpah, Leah's
servant,
gave
birth
to
a
second
son.
\VS{13}And
Leah
said,
Happy am
I!
and all
women
will
give witness
to
my joy:
and
she
gave
him
the
name
Asher.
\VS{14}Now
at
the
time
of
the grain-cutting,
Reuben saw
some love-fruits
in
the
field,
and
took
them
to
his
mother
Leah.
And
Rachel
said
to
her,
Let
me
have
some
of
your son's love-fruits.
\VS{15}But Leah
said
to
her,
Is
it
a
small
thing
that
you
have
taken
my
husband
from
me?
and
now
would
you
take
my son's love-fruits?
Then
Rachel
said,
You
may
have
him
tonight
in
exchange
for
your son's love-fruits.
\VS{16}In
the
evening,
when
Jacob
came
in
from
the
field,
Leah
went
out
to
him
and
said,
Tonight
you
are
to
come
to
me,
for
I
have given
my son's love-fruits
as
a price
for
you.
And
he
went
in
to
her
that
night.
\VS{17}And
God
gave ear
to
her
and she
became
with
child,
and
gave
Jacob
a
fifth
son.
\VS{18}Then
Leah
said,
God
has
made payment
to
me
for
giving
my servant-girl
to
my
husband:
so
she
gave
her son
the
name
Issachar.
\VS{19}And
again
Leah
became
with
child,
and she
gave
Jacob
a
sixth
son.
\VS{20}And
she
said,
God
has
given
me
a
good bride-price;
now
at last
will
I
have
my
husband
living
with
me,
for
I
have
given
him
six
sons:
and
she
gave
him
the
name
Zebulun.
\VS{21}After
that
she
had
a
daughter,
to
whom
she
gave
the
name
Dinah.
\VS{22}Then
God
gave
thought
to
Rachel,
and
hearing
her prayer
he
made
her fertile.
\VS{23}And she
was
with
child,
and
gave
birth
to
a
son:
and she
said,
God
has
taken
away
my
shame.
\VS{24}And
she
gave
him
the
name
Joseph,
saying,
May
the
Lord
give
me
another
son.
\VS{25}Now
after
the
birth
of
Joseph,
Jacob
said
to
Laban,
Let
me
go
away
to
my
place
and
my
country.
\VS{26}Give
me
my
wives
and
my
children,
for
whom
I
have
been
your
servant,
and
let
me go:
for
you
have
knowledge
of
all
the
work
I
have done
for
you.
\VS{27}And
Laban
said,
If
you
will
let
me
say
so,
do
not
go away;
for
I
have
seen
by
the signs
that
the
Lord
has
been good
to
me
because
of
you.
\VS{28}Say
then
what
your payment
is
to
be
and
I
will
give
it.
\VS{29}Then
Jacob
said,
You
have seen
what
I
have
done
for
you,
and
how
your
cattle
have
done
well under
my care.
\VS{30}For
before
I
came
you
had
little,
and
it
has
been
greatly
increased;
and
the
Lord
has given
you
a
blessing
in
everything
I
have
done;
but
when
am
I
to
do something
for
my
family?
\VS{31}And Laban
said,
What am
I
to
give
you?
And
Jacob
said,
Do
not
give
me
anything;
but
I
will
again
take
up
the
care
of
your
flock
if
you
will
only
do
this
for
me:
\VS{32}Let
me
go
through
all
your
flock
today, taking
out
from
among
them
all
the
sheep
which
are marked
or coloured
or
black,
and
all
the marked
or coloured
goats:
these
will
be
my payment.
\VS{33}And
so
you
will
be able
to
put
my honour
to
the test
in
time
to
come;
if
you
see
among
my flocks
any
goats
which
are
not marked
or coloured,
or
any
sheep
which
is
not
black,
you
may
take
me
for
a thief.
\VS{34}And
Laban
said,
Let
it
be
as
you
say.
\VS{35}So
that
day
he
took
all
the he-goats
which
were banded
or coloured,
and
all
the she-goats
which
were marked
or coloured
or
had
white marks,
and
all
the
black
sheep,
and
gave
them
into
the
care
of
his
sons;
\VS{36}And sent
them
three days'
journey away:
and
Jacob
took care
of
the
rest
of Laban's
flock.
\VS{37}Then
Jacob
took young
branches
of
trees, cutting
off
the skin
so
that
the
white wood
was seen
in bands.
\VS{38}And
he
put
the banded
sticks
in
the drinking-places
where
the
flock
came
to
get
water;
and
they became
with young
when
they
came
to
the
water.
\VS{39}And
because
of this,
the
flock
gave
birth
to young which
were marked
with bands
of colour.
\VS{40}These
lambs
Jacob
kept
separate;
and
he
put
his
flock
in
a
place
by
themselves
and
not
with Laban's
flock.
\VS{41}And
whenever
the
stronger ones
of
the
flock
became
with young,
Jacob
put
the
sticks
in front
of
them
in
the drinking-places,
so
that
they might
become
with young
when
they saw
the
sticks.
\VS{42}But
when
the
flocks
were feeble,
he
did
not
put
the sticks
before
them;
so
that
the feebler
flocks
were Laban's
and
the
stronger
were Jacob's.
\VS{43}So Jacob's wealth
was
greatly
increased;
he
had
great
flocks
and women-servants
and men-servants
and
camels
and asses.

\par }\Chap{31}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
it
came
to
the ears
of
Jacob
that Laban's
sons
were
saying,
Jacob
has
taken
away
all
our father's
property,
and
in
this
way
he
has
got
all
this wealth.
\VS{2}And
Jacob
saw
that Laban's feeling
for
him
was
no
longer what
it
had been
before.
\VS{3}Then
the
Lord
said
to
Jacob,
Go
back
to
the
land
of
your
fathers,
and
to
your
relations,
and
I
will
be
with
you.
\VS{4}And
Jacob
sent
for
Rachel
and
Leah
to come
to
him
in
the
field
among
his
flock.
\VS{5}And
he
said
to
them,
It
is clear
to
me
that
your father's feeling
is
no
longer
what
it
was
to
me;
but
the
God
of
my
father
has
been
with
me
\VS{6}And
you
have seen
how
I
have
done
all
in
my
power
for
your
father,
\VS{7}But
your
father
has
not
kept faith
with
me,
and
ten
times
he
has
made changes
in
my payment;
but
God
has
kept
him
from doing
me damage.
\VS{8}If
he
said,
All
those
in
the
flock which
have marks
are
to
be yours,
then
all
the
flock
gave
birth
to marked young;
and
if
he
said,
All
the banded ones
are
to
be yours,
then
all
the
flock
had banded young.
\VS{9}So
God
has
taken
away
your father's
cattle
and
has
given
them
to
me.
\VS{10}And
at
the
time
when
the
flock
were
with young,
I
saw
in
a
dream
that
all
the he-goats
which
were joined
with
the she-goats
were banded
and marked
and coloured.
\VS{11}And
in
my
dream
the
angel
of
the Lord
said
to
me,
Jacob:
and
I
said,
Here
am
I.
\VS{12}And
he
said,
See
how
all
the he-goats
are banded
and marked
and coloured:
for
I
have
seen
what
Laban
has
done
to
you.
\VS{13}I
am
the
God
of Beth-el,
where
you
put
oil
on
the
pillar
and
took
an oath
to
me:
now
then,
come
out
of
this
land
and
go
back
to
the
country
of
your
birth.
\VS{14}Then
Rachel
and
Leah
said
to
him
in
answer, What part
or
heritage
is there
for
us
in
our father's
house?
\VS{15}Are
we
not
as
people
from
a strange country
to
him?
for
he
took
a
price
for
us
and
now
it
is
all used
up.
\VS{16}For
the
wealth
which
God
has
taken
from
him
is ours
and
our children's;
so
now,
whatever
God
has
said
to
you,
do.
\VS{17}Then
Jacob
put
his
wives
and
his
sons
on
camels;
\VS{18}And sending
on
before
him
all
his
cattle
and
his
property
which
he
had got together
in
Paddan-aram,
he
made ready
to
go
to
Isaac
his
father
in
the
land
of
Canaan.
\VS{19}Now
Laban
had
gone
to
see
to
the cutting
of
the wool
of
his
sheep;
so
Rachel secretly
took
the images
of
the
gods
of
her father's house.
\VS{20}And
Jacob went
away secretly,
without giving news
of
his
flight
to
Laban
the Aramaean.
\VS{21}So
he
went
away
with
all
he
had,
and
went
across
the
River
in
the
direction
of
the hill-country
of
Gilead.
\VS{22}And
on
the
third
day
Laban
had news
of Jacob's
flight.
\VS{23}And
taking
the
men
of
his family
with
him,
he
went
after
him
for
seven
days
and
overtook
him
in
the hill-country
of
Gilead.
\VS{24}Then
God
came
to
Laban
in
a
dream
by
night,
and
said
to
him,
Take
care
that
you
say nothing
good
or
bad
to
Jacob.
\VS{25}Now
when
Laban
overtook
him,
Jacob
had
put
up
his
tent
in
the hill-country;
and
Laban
and
his
brothers
put
up
their
tents
in
the hill-country
of
Gilead.
\VS{26}And
Laban
said
to
Jacob,
Why
did
you go
away secretly, taking
my
daughters
away
like prisoners
of
war?
\VS{27}Why
did
you
make
a secret
of
your
flight,
not giving
me
word
of
it,
so
that
I might
have
sent
you
away
with
joy
and
songs,
with melody
and
music?
\VS{28}You
did
not
even
let
me give
a kiss
to
my
sons
and
my
daughters.
This
was
a
foolish thing
to
do.
\VS{29}It
is
in
my
power
to
do
you damage:
but
the
God
of
your
father
came
to
me
this
night,
saying,
Take
care
that
you
say nothing
good
or
bad
to
Jacob.
\VS{30}And
now,
it seems,
you
are
going
because
your heart's desire
is
for
your father's
house;
but
why
have
you taken
my
gods?
\VS{31}And
Jacob,
in
answer,
said
to
Laban,
My
fear
was
that
you
might
take
your
daughters
from
me
by
force.
\VS{32}As
for
your
gods,
if
anyone
of
us
has
them,
let
him
be
put
to death:
make search
before
us
all
for
what
is yours,
and
take
it.
For
Jacob
had
no
knowledge
that
Rachel
had
taken
them.
\VS{33}So
Laban
went
into Jacob's
tent
and
into Leah's
tent,
and
into
the
tents
of
the
two servant-women,
but
they
were
not
there;
and
he
came
out
of Leah's
tent
and
went
into Rachel's.
\VS{34}Now
Rachel
had
taken
the images,
and
had
put
them
in
the camels' basket,
and
was
seated
on
them.
And
Laban, searching
through
all
the
tent,
did
not
come
across
them.
\VS{35}And
she
said
to
her
father,
Let
not
my
lord
be
angry
because
I
do
not
get
up
before
you,
for
I am
in
the common
condition
of
women.
And
with
all
his
searching,
he
did
not
come
across
the images.
\VS{36}Then
Jacob
was
angry
with
Laban,
and
said,
What crime
or
sin
have
I done
that
you
have come
after
me
with such passion?
\VS{37}Now
that
you
have
made search
through
all
my
goods,
what
have
you seen
which
is yours?
Make
it
clear
now
before
my people
and
your people,
so
that
they
may
be judges
between
us.
\VS{38}These
twenty
years
I
have
been
with
you;
your
sheep
and
your
goats
have
had young
without loss,
not
one
of
your he-goats
have
I taken
for
food.
\VS{39}Anything which
was wounded
by
beasts
I
did
not
take
to
you,
but
myself
made
up
for
the
loss
of
it;
you
made
me responsible
for whatever
was taken
by thieves,
by
day
or
by
night.
\VS{40}This
was
my condition, wasted
by heat
in
the
day
and
by
the bitter cold
at
night;
and
sleep
went
from
my
eyes.
\VS{41}These
twenty
years
I
have
been
in
your
house;
I
was
your
servant
for
fourteen
years because
of
your
daughters,
and
for
six
years
I kept
your
flock,
and
ten
times
was
my payment
changed.
\VS{42}If
the
God
of
my
father,
the
God
of
Abraham
and
the
Fear
of
Isaac,
had
not
been
with
me,
you would
have
sent
me
away
with
nothing
in
my
hands.
But
God
has
seen
my
troubles
and
the work
of
my
hands,
and
this
night
he kept
you back.
\VS{43}Then
Laban, answering,
said,
These
women
are
my
daughters
and
these
children
my
children,
the
flocks
and
all
you
see
are mine:
what
now
may
I
do
for
my
daughters
and
for
their
children?
\VS{44}Come,
let
us
make
an
agreement,
you
and
I;
and
let
it
be
for
a
witness
between
us.
\VS{45}Then
Jacob
took
a
stone
and
put
it
up
as
a
pillar.
\VS{46}And
Jacob
said
to
his people,
Get
stones
together;
and
they
did
so;
and
they
had
a meal
there
by
the
stones.
\VS{47}And
the
name
Laban
gave
it
was
Jegar-sahadutha:
but
Jacob
gave
it
the
name
of
Galeed.
\VS{48}And
Laban
said,
These stones
are
a
witness
between
you
and
me
today.
For
this
reason
its
name
was
Galeed,
\VS{49}And
Mizpah,
for
he
said,
May
the
Lord
keep
watch
on
us
when
we
are unable
to
see
one another's doings.
\VS{50}If
you
are cruel
to
my
daughters,
or
if
you
take
other
wives
in
addition
to
my
daughters,
then
though
no
man
is
there
to
see,
God
will
be
the
witness
between
us.
\VS{51}And
Laban
said,
See
these stones
and
this
pillar
which
I
have put
between
you
and
me;
\VS{52}They
will
be
witness
that
I
will
not
go
over
these stones
to
you,
and
you
will
not
go
over
these stones
or
this
pillar
to
me,
for
any
evil
purpose.
\VS{53}May
the
God
of
Abraham
and
the
God
of
Nahor,
the
God
of
their
father,
be
our
judge. Then
Jacob
took
an
oath
by
the
Fear
of
his
father
Isaac.
\VS{54}And
Jacob
made
an
offering
on
the
mountain,
and
gave orders
to
his people
to take
food:
so
they
had
a
meal
and
took
their rest
that night
on
the
mountain.
\VS{55}And early in the morning Laban, after kissing and blessing his daughters, went on his way back to his country.

\par }\Chap{32}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
on
his way Jacob
came face
to face
with
the angels
of God.
\VS{2}And
when
he saw
them
he said, This
is
the army
of
God:
so
he gave
that place
the name
of Mahanaim.
\VS{3}Now
Jacob
sent servants
before
him
to
Esau,
his brother,
in
the
land
of Seir,
the
country
of Edom;
\VS{4}And
he
gave
them orders
to say these words
to
Esau:
Your servant
Jacob says, Till now
I
have
been living
with Laban:
\VS{5}And
I
have oxen
and asses
and flocks
and men-servants
and women-servants:
and
I
have
sent
to
give
my
lord
news
of these
things
so
that
I
may
have grace
in
his eyes.
\VS{6}When
the
servants
came back they said,
We
have
seen
your brother Esau
and
he
is coming
out
to
you,
and four hundred
men
with
him.
\VS{7}Then
Jacob
was
in great fear
and trouble
of mind:
and
he
put
all
the
people
and
the flocks
and
the herds
and
the camels
into
two groups;
\VS{8}And said,
If Esau, meeting
one group, makes an attack
on
them,
the
others
will get away safely.
\VS{9}Then
Jacob
said,
O
God
of
my father
Abraham,
the
God
of
my father
Isaac,
the Lord
who
said
to
me,
Go
back
to
your country
and
your family
and
I
will
be good
to
you:
\VS{10}I
am less than nothing
in comparison
with all
your mercies
and
your faith
to
me
your servant;
for
with only
my stick
in
my hand
I
went across Jordan,
and
now
I
have
become two armies.
\VS{11}Be
my saviour
from
the hand
of Esau,
my brother:
for
my fear
is
that
he
will
make
an attack
on
me,
putting
to death mother
and child.
\VS{12}And
you said,
Truly,
I
will
be good
to
you,
and
make
your seed
like
the sand
of
the sea which
may
not
be numbered.
\VS{13}Then
he
put
up
his tent
there
for
the night;
and
from
among
his goods
he
took,
as
an offering
for
his brother
Esau,
\VS{14}Two hundred she-goats
and twenty he-goats,
two hundred females
and twenty males
from
the sheep,
\VS{15}Thirty camels
with their young
ones, forty cows, ten oxen,
twenty asses,
and ten young asses.
\VS{16}These
he gave
to
his servants, every herd
by itself,
and
he said
to
his servants, Go
on before
me,
and let there
be
a space between
one herd
and another.
\VS{17}And
he
gave
orders
to
the
first,
saying,
When
my brother
Esau
comes
to
you
and
says,
Whose
servant
are
you,
and
where
are
you going,
and
whose
are
these
herds?
\VS{18}Then
say
to
him,
These
are
your servant Jacob's;
they
are
an offering
for
my lord,
for
Esau;
and
he
himself
is coming
after
us.
\VS{19}And
he
gave
the
same
orders
to
the second
and
the third
and
to
all
those
who
were
with
the herds,
saying,
This
is
what
you
are
to
say
to
Esau
when
you
see
him;
\VS{20}And
you
are
to
say further,
Jacob,
your servant,
is
coming
after
us.
For
he
said
to
himself,
I
will
take
away
his wrath
by
the offering
which
I
have
sent
on,
and
then
I
will
come
before
him:
it
may
be
that
I
will
have grace
in
his eyes.
\VS{21}So
the
servants
with
the
offerings
went
on
in
front,
and
he
himself
took
his rest
that night
in
the tents
with
his
people.
\VS{22}And
in
the
night
he got
up,
and taking
with
him
his two wives
and
the two servant-women
and
his eleven children,
he
went
over
the river Jabbok.
\VS{23}He
took
them
and
sent
them
over
the stream
with
all
he
had.
\VS{24}Then Jacob
was
by himself;
and
a man
was fighting
with
him till dawn.
\VS{25}But
when
the
man saw
that
he
was not able
to overcome
Jacob,
he gave
him
a
blow
in
the hollow
part
of
his leg,
so
that
his leg
was damaged.
\VS{26}And
he said
to
him,
Let
me go
now,
for
the dawn
is
near.
But
Jacob said,
I
will
not
let
you go till
you
have given
me
your blessing.
\VS{27}Then
he
said,
What
is
your
name?
And
he
said,
Jacob.
\VS{28}And
he
said,
Your
name
will no longer
be
Jacob,
but Israel:
for
in
your fight
with
God
and
with
men
you
have overcome.
\VS{29}Then
Jacob
said,
What
is
your
name?
And
he
said,
What
is
my
name
to
you?
Then
he
gave
him
a blessing.
\VS{30}And
Jacob
gave
that
place
the
name
of Peniel,
saying,
I
have seen
God face
to face,
and
still
I am living.
\VS{31}And
while
he
was going past
Peniel,
the sun
came
up.
And
he
went
with unequal steps
because
of
his damaged leg.
\VS{32}For
this
reason
the children
of Israel,
even today, never take
that muscle
in
the hollow
of
the leg
as food,
because
the hollow
of Jacob's leg
was touched.

\par }\Chap{33}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Then
Jacob, lifting
up
his
eyes,
saw
Esau
coming
with
his
four
hundred
men.
So
he made
a division
of
the
children
between
Leah
and
Rachel
and
the
two women-servants.
\VS{2}He
put
the
servants
and
their
children
in
front,
Leah
and
her
children after
them,
and
Rachel
and
Joseph at
the back.
\VS{3}And
he
himself, going
before
them,
went
down
on
his
face
to
the
earth
seven
times
till
he
came
near
his
brother.
\VS{4}Then
Esau
came
running
up
to
him,
and folding
him
in
his arms, gave
him
a kiss:
and
the two
of
them
were
overcome
with
weeping.
\VS{5}Then
Esau, lifting
up
his
eyes,
saw
the
women
and
the
children,
and
said,
Who
are
these
with
you?
And
he
said,
The
children
whom
God
in
his
mercy
has
given
to
your
servant.
\VS{6}Then
the
servants
and
their
children
came
near,
and
went
down on
their faces.
\VS{7}And
Leah
came
near
with
her
children,
and
then
Joseph
and
Rachel,
and
they
did
the same.
\VS{8}And
he
said,
What
were
all
those herds
which
I saw
on
the
way?
And
Jacob
said,
They
were
an offering
so
that
I
might
have
grace
in
my lord's
eyes.
\VS{9}But
Esau
said,
I
have
enough; keep
what
is yours,
my
brother,
for yourself.
\VS{10}And
Jacob
said,
Not
so;
but
if
I
have
grace
in
your
eyes,
take
them
as
a sign
of
my love,
for
I
have
seen
your
face
as
one
may
see
the
face
of
God,
and
you
have been
pleased
with
me.
\VS{11}Take
my offering
then,
with
my
blessing;
for
God
has
been very good
to
me
and
I
have enough:
so
at
his strong request,
he
took
it.
\VS{12}And
he
said, Let
us
go
on
our
journey together,
and
I will
go
in
front.
\VS{13}But
Jacob
said,
My
lord
may
see
that
the
children
are
only small,
and
there
are
young ones
in
my
flocks
and
herds:
one day's over-driving
will
be
the destruction
of
all
the
flock.
\VS{14}Do
you,
my
lord,
go
on
before
your
servant;
I
will
come
on slowly,
at
the rate
at
which
the
cattle
and
the
children
are able
to
go,
till
I
come
to
my
lord
at
Seir.
\VS{15}And
Esau
said,
Then keep
some
of
my
men
with
you.
And
he
said,
What need
is
there
for
that,
if
my
lord
is
pleased
with
me?
\VS{16}So
Esau,
turning
back
that
day,
went
on
his
way
to
Seir.
\VS{17}And
Jacob
went
on
to
Succoth,
where
he
made
a
house
for
himself
and put
up tents
for
his
cattle:
for
this
reason
the
place
was
named
Succoth.
\VS{18}So
Jacob
came
safely
from
Paddan-aram
to
the
town
of
Shechem
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
and
put
up
his tents
near
the
town.
\VS{19}And
for
a
hundred bits
of
money
he got
from
the
children
of
Hamor,
the builder
of
Shechem,
the
field
in
which
he
had
put
up
his
tents.
\VS{20}And
there
he put
up
an
altar, naming
it
El,
the
God
of
Israel.

\par }\Chap{34}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
Dinah,
the
daughter
whom
Leah
had
by
Jacob,
went
out
to
see
the
women
of
that
country.
\VS{2}And
when
Shechem,
the
son
of
Hamor
the
Hivite
who
was
the chief
of
that
land,
saw
her,
he
took
her
by force
and
had connection
with
her.
\VS{3}Then
his
heart went
out
in
love
to
Dinah,
the
daughter
of
Jacob,
and
he
said comforting words
to
her.
\VS{4}And
Shechem
said
to
Hamor,
his
father,
Get
me
this
girl
for
my
wife.
\VS{5}Now
Jacob
had word
of
what
Shechem
had
done
to
his
daughter;
but
his
sons
were
in
the
fields
with
the
cattle,
and
Jacob
said nothing
till
they
came.
\VS{6}Then
Hamor,
the
father
of
Shechem,
came
out
to
have
a
talk
with
Jacob.
\VS{7}Now
the
sons
of
Jacob
came
in
from
the
fields
when
they
had news
of
it,
and
they
were wounded
and
very
angry
because
of
the shame
he
had
done
in
Israel
by
having connection
with Jacob's
daughter;
and
they
said,
Such
a
thing
is
not
to
be
done.
\VS{8}But
Hamor
said
to
them,
Shechem,
my
son,
is full
of
desire
for
your
daughter:
will
you
then
give
her
to
him
for
a
wife?
\VS{9}And
let
our
two peoples
be
joined
together;
give
your
daughters
to
us,
and
take
our
daughters
for yourselves.
\VS{10}Go
on
living
with
us,
and
the
country
will
be
open
to
you; do
trade
and get
property
there.
\VS{11}And
Shechem
said
to
her
father
and
her
brothers,
If
you
will
give ear
to
my request,
whatever
you
say
I
will
give
to
you.
\VS{12}However
great
you
make
the bride-price
and
payment,
I
will
give
it;
only
let
me
have
the
girl
for
my
wife.
\VS{13}But
the
sons
of
Jacob gave
a
false
answer
to
Shechem
and
Hamor
his
father,
because
of
what
had
been done
to
Dinah
their
sister.
\VS{14}And
they
said,
It
is
not possible
for
us
to
give
our
sister
to
one
who
is
without circumcision,
for
that
would
be
a
cause
of
shame
to
us:
\VS{15}But
on
this condition
only
will
we
come
to
an agreement
with
you:
if
every
male among
you
becomes
like
us
and undergoes circumcision;
\VS{16}Then
we
will
give
our
daughters
to
you
and
take
your
daughters
to
us
and
go
on
living
with
you
as
one
people.
\VS{17}But
if
you
will
not undergo circumcision
as
we say,
then
we
will
take
our
daughter
and
go.
\VS{18}And their
words
were
pleasing
to
Hamor
and
his
son
Shechem.
\VS{19}And
without loss
of time
the
young
man
did
as
they
said,
because
he
had
delight
in Jacob's
daughter,
and
he
was
the noblest
of
his father's
house.
\VS{20}Then
Hamor
and
Shechem,
his
son,
went
to
the meeting-place
of
their
town,
and
said
to
the
men
of
the
town,
\VS{21}It
is
the desire
of
these
men
to
be
at peace
with
us;
let
them
then
go
on
living
in
this
country
and
doing
trade
here,
for
the
country
is
wide
open
before
them;
let
us
take
their
daughters
as
wives
and
let
us
give
them
our
daughters.
\VS{22}But
these
men
will make
an agreement
with
us
to
go
on
living
with
us
and
to
become
one
people,
only
on
the condition
that
every
male
among
us undergoes circumcision
as
they
have
done.
\VS{23}Then
will
not
their
cattle
and
their
goods
and
all
their
beasts
be ours?
so
let
us come
to an agreement
with
them
so
that
they
may go
on
living
with
us.
\VS{24}Then
all
the
men
of
the
town
gave ear
to
the words
of
Hamor
and
Shechem
his
son;
and
every
male
in
the
town underwent circumcision.
\VS{25}But
on
the
third
day
after,
before
the wounds
were well,
two
of
the
sons
of
Jacob,
Simeon
and
Levi, Dinah's
brothers,
took
their
swords
and
came
into
the
town
by surprise
and
put
all
the
males
to death.
\VS{26}And
Hamor
and
his
son
they
put
to death
with
the
sword,
and
they
took
Dinah
from Shechem's
house
and
went
away.
\VS{27}And
the
sons
of
Jacob
came
on
them
when
they
were
wounded
and
made waste
the
town
because
of
what
had
been done
to
their
sister;
\VS{28}They
took
their
flocks
and
their
herds
and
their asses
and
everything
in
their
town
and
in
their
fields,
\VS{29}And
all
their
wealth
and
all
their
little
ones
and
their
wives;
everything
in
their
houses
they
took
and
made
them waste.
\VS{30}And
Jacob
said
to
Simeon
and
Levi,
You
have
made
trouble
for
me
and given
me
a bad
name
among
the
people
of this
country,
among
the
Canaanites
and
the
Perizzites:
and
because
we
are small
in
number
they
will come
together
against
me
and make war
on
me;
and
it
will
be
the end
of
me
and
all
my
people.
\VS{31}But
they
said, Were
we
to let
him
make use
of our
sister as
a loose woman?

\par }\Chap{35}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
God
said
to
Jacob,
Go
up now
to Beth-el
and
make
your living-place
there:
and
put
up
an
altar
there
to
the
God
who
came
to
you
when
you
were
in
flight
from
your
brother
Esau.
\VS{2}Then
Jacob
said
to
all
his
people,
Put
away
the
strange
gods
which
are
among
you,
and make
yourselves
clean,
and
put
on
a
change
of
clothing:
\VS{3}And
let
us
go
up
to Beth-el:
and
there
I
will
make
an
altar
to
God,
who
gave
me
an
answer
in
the
day
of
my
trouble,
and
was
with
me
wherever
I
went.
\VS{4}Then
they
gave
to
Jacob
all
the
strange
gods
which
they
had,
and
the
rings
which
were
in
their
ears;
and
Jacob
put
them
away
under
the holy tree
at
Shechem.
\VS{5}So
they
went
on
their
journey:
and
the fear
of
God
was
on
the
towns
round
about,
so
that
they
made
no attack
on
the
sons
of
Jacob.
\VS{6}And
Jacob
came
to
Luz
in
the
land
of
Canaan (which
is
the
same
as Beth-el),
he
and
all
his
people.
\VS{7}And
there
he
made
an
altar, naming
the
place El-beth-el:
because
it
was
there
he
had
the vision
of
God
when
he
was
in
flight
from
his
brother.
\VS{8}And
Deborah,
the servant
who
had taken care
of
Rebekah
from
her birth, came
to
her end,
and
was
put
to rest near Beth-el,
under
the holy tree:
and
they
gave
it
the
name
of
Allon-bacuth.
\VS{9}Now
when
Jacob
was
on
his way
from
Paddan-aram,
God
came
to
him
again
and,
blessing
him,
said,
\VS{10}Jacob
is
your
name,
but
it
will
be
so
no
longer;
from
now
your
name
will
be
Israel;
so
he
was
named
Israel.
\VS{11}And
God
said
to
him,
I
am
God,
the Ruler
of
all:
be fertile,
and
have
increase;
a
nation, truly
a
group
of
nations,
will
come
from
you,
and
kings
will
be
your offspring;
\VS{12}And
the
land
which
I
gave
to
Abraham
and
Isaac,
I
will
give
to
you;
and
to
your
seed
after
you
I
will
give
the
land.
\VS{13}Then
God
went
up
from
him
in
the
place
where
he
had
been
talking
with
him.
\VS{14}And
Jacob put
up
a
pillar
in
the
place
where
he
had
been
talking
with God,
and put
a drink offering
on
it,
and
oil.
\VS{15}And
he
gave
to
the
place
where
God
had
been
talking
with
him,
the
name
of Beth-el.
\VS{16}So
they
went
on
from Beth-el;
and
while
they
were
still
some distance
from
Ephrath,
the pains
of
birth
came
on
Rachel
and she
had
a
hard
time.
\VS{17}And
when
her pain
was
very great,
the
woman
who
was helping
her
said,
Have
no
fear;
for
now
you
will
have
another
son.
\VS{18}And
in
the hour
when
her
life
went
from
her (for
death
came
to
her),
she
gave
the
child
the
name
Ben-oni:
but
his
father
gave
him
the
name
of
Benjamin.
\VS{19}So
Rachel came
to
her end
and
was
put
to rest
on
the
road
to
Ephrath (which
is Beth-lehem).
\VS{20}And
Jacob put
up
a
pillar
on
her resting-place;
which
is named,
The
Pillar
of
the resting-place
of
Rachel,
to
this
day.
\VS{21}And
Israel
went
journeying
on
and put up
his
tents
on
the other
side
of
the
tower
of
the flock.
\VS{22}Now
while
they
were
living
in
that
country,
Reuben
had
connection
with
Bilhah,
his father's servant-woman:
and
Israel
had news
of
it.
\VS{23}Now
Jacob
had twelve
sons:
the
sons
of
Leah:
Reuben, Jacob's first
son,
and
Simeon
and
Levi
and
Judah
and
Issachar
and
Zebulun;
\VS{24}The
sons
of
Rachel:
Joseph
and
Benjamin;
\VS{25}The
sons
of
Bilhah, Rachel's
servant:
Dan
and
Naphtali;
\VS{26}The
sons
of
Zilpah, Leah's
servant:
Gad
and
Asher;
these
are
the
sons
whom
Jacob
had
in
Paddan-aram.
\VS{27}And
Jacob
came
to
his
father
Isaac
at
Mamre,
at
Kiriath-arba,
that
is,
Hebron,
where
Abraham
and
Isaac
had
been
living.
\VS{28}And
Isaac
was
a
hundred
and
eighty
years
old.
\VS{29}Then
Isaac
came
to
his end
and
was
put
to rest
with
his father's
people, an
old
man
after
a
long
life:
and
Jacob
and
Esau,
his
sons,
put
him
in
his
last resting-place.

\par }\Chap{36}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
these
are
the
generations
of
Esau,
that
is
to say,
Edom.
\VS{2}Esau's
wives
were
women
of
Canaan:
Adah,
the
daughter
of
Elon
the
Hittite,
and
Oholibamah,
the
daughter
of
Anah,
the
daughter
of
Zibeon
the
Hivite,
\VS{3}And
Basemath, Ishmael's
daughter,
the
sister
of
Nebaioth.
\VS{4}Adah
had
a son
Eliphaz;
and
Basemath
was
the mother
of
Reuel;
\VS{5}Oholibamah
was
the mother
of Jeush,
Jalam,
and
Korah;
these
are
the
sons
of
Esau,
whose
birth
took
place
in
the
land
of
Canaan.
\VS{6}Esau
took
his
wives
and
his
sons
and
his
daughters,
and
all
the
people
of
his
house,
and
his
beasts
and
his
cattle
and
all
his
goods
which
he
had
got together
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
and
went
into
the
land
of Seir,
away
from
his
brother
Jacob.
\VS{7}For
their
wealth
was
so
great
that
the
land
was
not wide
enough
for
the
two
of
them
and
all
their
cattle.
\VS{8}So
Esau made
his living-place
in
the hill-country
of
Seir (Esau
is
Edom).
\VS{9}And
these
are
the
generations
of
Esau,
the
father
of
the
Edomites
in
the hill-country
of
Seir:
\VS{10}These
are
the
names
of Esau's
sons:
Eliphaz,
the
son
of Esau's
wife
Adah,
and
Reuel,
the
son
of Esau's
wife
Basemath.
\VS{11}The
sons
of
Eliphaz
were
Teman,
Omar,
Zepho,
Gatam,
and
Kenaz.
\VS{12}And
Eliphaz,
the
son
of
Esau,
had connection
with
a
woman named
Timna,
who
gave
birth
to
Amalek: all
these
were
the
children
of Esau's
wife
Adah.
\VS{13}And
these
are
the
sons
of
Reuel:
Nahath,
Zerah,
Shammah,
and
Mizzah:
they
were
the
children
of Esau's
wife
Basemath.
\VS{14}And
these
are
the
sons
of Esau's
wife
Oholibamah,
the
daughter
of
Anah,
the
daughter
of
Zibeon: she
was
the mother
of Jeush,
Jalam,
and
Korah.
\VS{15}These
were
the chiefs
among
the
sons
of
Esau:
the
sons
of
Eliphaz, Esau's first
son:
Teman,
Omar,
Zepho,
Kenaz,
\VS{16}Korah,
Gatam,
Amalek: all
these
were chiefs
in
the
land
of
Edom,
the
offspring
of
Eliphaz,
the seed
of
Adah.
\VS{17}And
these
are
the
sons
of Esau's
son
Reuel:
Nahath,
Zerah,
Shammah,
Mizzah:
these
were
the chiefs
of
Reuel
in
the
land
of
Edom,
the
children
of Esau's
wife
Basemath.
\VS{18}And
these
are
the
sons
of Esau's
wife
Oholibamah:
Jeush,
Jalam,
and
Korah:
these
were
the chiefs
who came
from Esau's
wife
Oholibamah,
daughter
of
Anah.
\VS{19}These
were
the
sons
of
Esau (that
is,
Edom),
and
these
were their chiefs.
\VS{20}These
are
the
sons
of
Seir
the
Horite
who
were
living
in
that
country;
Lotan,
Shobal,
Zibeon,
Anah,
\VS{21}Dishon,
Ezer,
and
Dishan:
these
are
the chiefs
of
the
Horites,
offspring
of
Seir
in
the
land
of
Edom.
\VS{22}The
children
of
Lotan
were
Hori
and Hemam; Lotan's
sister
was
Timna.
\VS{23}And
these
are
the
children
of
Shobal:
Alvan,
Manahath,
Ebal,
Shepho,
and
Onam.
\VS{24}And
these
are
the
children
of
Zibeon:
Aiah
and
Anah;
that
same
Anah
who
made
the
discovery
of
the water-springs
in
the waste land,
when
he
was
looking after
the asses
of
his
father
Zibeon.
\VS{25}And
these
are
the
children
of
Anah:
Dishon
and
Oholibamah
his
daughter.
\VS{26}These
are
the
children
of Dishon:
Hemdan,
Eshban,
Ithran,
and Keran.
\VS{27}These
are
the
children
of
Ezer:
Bilhan,
Zaavan,
and
Akan.
\VS{28}These
are
the
children
of
Dishan:
Uz
and
Aran.
\VS{29}These
were
the
Horite chiefs:
Lotan,
Shobal,
Zibeon,
Anah,
\VS{30}Dishon,
Ezer,
and
Dishan.
Such
were
the Horite chiefs
in their order
in
the
land
of
Seir.
\VS{31}And
these
are
the
kings
who
were ruling
in
the
land
of
Edom
before
there
was
any
king
over
the
children
of
Israel.
\VS{32}Bela,
son
of
Beor,
was
king
in
Edom,
and
the
name
of
his chief
town
was
Dinhabah.
\VS{33}At
his
death,
Jobab,
son
of
Zerah
of
Bozrah,
became
king
in
his
place.
\VS{34}And
at
the
death
of
Jobab,
Husham,
from
the
country
of
the
Temanites,
became
king
in
his
place.
\VS{35}And
at
the
death
of
Husham,
Hadad,
son
of
Bedad,
who overcame
the
Midianites
in
the
field
of
Moab,
became
king;
his chief
town
was
named
Avith.
\VS{36}And
at
the
death
of
Hadad,
Samlah
of
Masrekah
became
king.
\VS{37}And
at
the
death
of
Samlah,
Shaul
of
Rehoboth
by
the
River
became
king
in
his
place.
\VS{38}And
at
the
death
of
Shaul,
Baal-hanan,
son
of
Achbor,
became
king.
\VS{39}And
at
the
death
of
Baal-hanan,
Hadar
became
king
in
his
place;
his chief
town
was
named
Pau,
and
his wife's
name
was
Mehetabel; she
was
the
daughter
of
Matred,
the
daughter
of Me-zahab.
\VS{40}These
are
the
names
of
the chiefs
of
Esau
in
the order
of their
families
and their
places:
Timna,
Alvah,
Jetheth,
\VS{41}Oholibamah,
Elah,
Pinon,
\VS{42}Kenaz,
Teman,
Mibzar,
\VS{43}Magdiel,
Iram;
these
are
the Edomite chiefs,
in their
places
in their heritage;
this
is
Esau,
the
father
of
the
Edomites.

\par }\Chap{37}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
Jacob
was
living
in
the
land
where
his
father
had made
a
place
for
himself,
in
the
land
of
Canaan.
\VS{2}These
are
the
generations
of
Jacob:
Joseph,
a
boy
seventeen
years
old,
was
looking
after
the
flock,
together
with
his
brothers,
the
sons
of
Bilhah
and
Zilpah,
his father's
wives;
and
Joseph
gave
their
father
a
bad
account
of
them.
\VS{3}Now
the
love
which
Israel
had
for
Joseph
was greater
than
his
love
for
all
his
other
children,
because
he got
him
when
he
was
an
old
man:
and
he
had
a long
coat
made
for
him.
\VS{4}And
because
his
brothers
saw
that
Joseph
was dearer
to
his
father
than
all
the others,
they
were
full
of
hate
for
him,
and
would
not
say
a kind
word
to
him.
\VS{5}Now
Joseph
had
a
dream,
and
he gave
his
brothers
an account
of
it, which
made
their
hate greater
than
ever.
\VS{6}And
he
said
to
them,
Let
me
give
you
the story
of
my
dream.
\VS{7}We
were
in
the
field, getting
the grain stems
together,
and
my grain kept upright,
and yours came
round
and
went
down
on
the earth before mine.
\VS{8}And
his
brothers
said
to
him,
Are
you
to
be
our
king?
will
you
have
authority
over
us?
And
because
of
his
dream
and
his
words,
their
hate
for
him
became greater
than
ever.
\VS{9}Then
he
had
another
dream,
and
gave
his
brothers
an
account
of
it,
saying,
I
have
had
another
dream:
the
sun
and
the
moon
and
eleven
stars
gave honour
to
me.
\VS{10}And
he
gave
word
of
it
to
his
father
and
his
brothers;
but
his
father protesting
said,
What sort
of
a
dream
is
this?
am
I
and
your
mother
and
your
brothers
to
go
down
on
our faces
to
the
earth
before
you?
\VS{11}And
his
brothers
were full
of
envy; but
his
father
kept
his
words
in mind.
\VS{12}Now his
brothers went
to keep watch
over their father's
flock
in
Shechem.
\VS{13}And
Israel
said
to
Joseph,
Are
not
your
brothers
with
the flock
in
Shechem? come,
I
will
send
you
to
them.
And
he
said
to
him,
Here am
I.
\VS{14}And
he
said
to
him,
Go
now,
and
see
if
your
brothers
are
well
and
how
the
flock
is;
then
come
back
and
give
me
word.
So
he
sent
him
out
of
the
valley
of
Hebron,
and
he
came
to
Shechem.
\VS{15}And
a
man
saw
him
wandering
in
the
country,
and
said
to
him,
What
are
you
looking
for?
\VS{16}And
he
said,
I
am
looking
for
my
brothers;
please
give
me
word
of
where
they
are keeping
their flock.
\VS{17}And
the
man
said,
They
have gone
away
from
here,
for
they
said
in
my
hearing, Let
us
go
to
Dothan.
So
Joseph
went
after
them
and
came up
with
them
at
Dothan.
\VS{18}But
they
saw
him
when
he was
a
long way
off,
and
before
he
came
near
them
they
made
a secret design
against
him
to
put
him
to
death;
\VS{19}Saying
to
one
another,
See,
here
comes
this dreamer.
\VS{20}Let
us
now put
him
to death
and put
his body
into
one
of these holes,
and
we
will
say,
An
evil
beast
has put
him
to death:
then
we
will
see
what
becomes
of
his
dreams.
\VS{21}But
Reuben,
hearing these words, got
him
out
of
their
hands,
saying,
Let
us
not
take
his
life.
\VS{22}Do
not
put
him
to
a
violent
death,
but
let
him
be placed
in
one
of
the holes;
this
he
said
to keep
him safe
from
their
hands,
with
the
purpose
of taking
him
back
to
his
father
again.
\VS{23}So
when
Joseph
came
to
his
brothers,
they
took
off
his
long
coat
which
he
had
on;
\VS{24}And
they
took
him
and
put
him
in
the hole:
now
the hole
had
no
water
in
it.
\VS{25}Then seating themselves,
they
took
their
meal:
and
looking
up,
they
saw
a travelling band
of
Ishmaelites,
coming
from
Gilead
on
their
way
to
Egypt,
with
spices
and perfumes
on
their
camels.
\VS{26}And
Judah
said
to
his
brothers,
What
profit
is there
in putting
our
brother
to
death
and
covering
up
his
blood?
\VS{27}Let
us
give
him
to
these
Ishmaelites
for
a price,
and
let
us
not
put violent
hands
on
him,
for
he
is
our
brother,
our
flesh.
And
his
brothers
gave ear
to
him.
\VS{28}And
some
traders
from Midian
went
by;
so pulling
Joseph
up
out
of
the hole,
they
gave
him
to
the
Ishmaelites
for
twenty bits
of
silver,
and
they
took
him
to
Egypt.
\VS{29}Now
when
Reuben
came
back
to
the hole,
Joseph
was
not
there;
and giving signs
of grief,
\VS{30}He
went
back
to
his
brothers,
and
said,
The
child
is
gone;
what
am
I
to
do?
\VS{31}Then
they
took Joseph's
coat,
and
put
on
it some
of
the
blood
from
a young
goat which
they
had
put
to
death,
\VS{32}And
they
took
the
coat
to
their
father,
and
said,
We
came across
this;
is
it
your son's
coat
or
not?
\VS{33}And
he saw
that
it
was,
and
said,
It
is
my son's
coat;
an
evil
beast
has put
him
to death; without doubt
Joseph
has come
to
a cruel end.
\VS{34}Then
Jacob, giving signs
of grief,
put
on haircloth,
and
went
on weeping
for
his
son
day
after
day.
\VS{35}And
all
his
sons
and
all
his
daughters
came
to
give
him
comfort,
but
he
would
not
be
comforted,
saying
with
weeping,
I
will
go
down
to
the underworld
to
my
son.
So great
was
his father's sorrow
for
him.
\VS{36}And
in
Egypt
the
men
of Midian gave
him
for
a price
to
Potiphar,
a
captain
of high position
in Pharaoh's house.

\par }\Chap{38}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
at
that
time,
Judah
went
away
from
his
brothers
and
became
the
friend
of
a
man
of Adullam
named
Hirah.
\VS{2}And
there
he
saw
the
daughter
of
a
certain
man
of Canaan
named
Shua,
and
took
her
as
his wife.
\VS{3}And
she
gave
birth
to
a

and
he
gave

the

Er.
\VS{4}And
again
she
gave
birth
to

he
gave
him
the
name
Onan.
\VS{5}Then
she
had
another
son,
to
whom
she
gave
the
name

she
was
at

when
the
birth
took
place.
\VS{6}And
Judah
took
a
wife
for
his first son
Er,
and
her
name
was

\VS{7}Now
Er, Judah's first son, did
evil
in
the
eyes
of
the
Lord,
so
that
he
put
him
to
death.
\VS{8}Then
Judah
said
to
Onan,
Go
in
to
your brother's
wife
and
do
what
it
is right
for
a husband's
brother
to
do;
make
her
your
wife
and
get
offspring
for
your
brother.
\VS{9}But
Onan,
seeing
that
the
offspring would
not
be
his,
went
in
to
his brother's
wife,
but
let
his
seed
go
on
to
the
earth,
so
that
he might
not
get
offspring
for
his
brother.
\VS{10}And
what
he
did
was
evil
in
the
eyes
of
the
Lord,
so
that
he
put
him
to
death,
like
his brother.
\VS{11}Then
Judah
said
to
Tamar,
his
daughter-in-law, Go
back
to
your father's
house
and keep yourself
as
a
widow
till
my
son
Shelah
becomes
a
man:
for
he
had
in
his mind
the
thought
that
death
might come
to
him
as
it
had come
to
his
brothers.
So
Tamar
went
back
to
her father's
house.
\VS{12}And
after
a
time, Bath-shua, Judah's
wife,
came
to
her end;
and
after
Judah
was
comforted
for
her loss,
he
went
to
Timnah,
where
they
were cutting
the wool
of
his
sheep,
and
his
friend
Hirah
of Adullam
went
with
him.
\VS{13}And
when
Tamar
had
news
that
her
father-in-law
was
going
up
to
Timnah
to
the wool-cutting,
\VS{14}She
took
off
her widow's
clothing,
and
covering
herself
with
her
veil,
she
took
her
seat
near Enaim
on
the
road
to
Timnah;
for
she
saw
that
Shelah
was
now
a
man,
but
she
had
not
been
made
his
wife.
\VS{15}When
Judah
saw
her
he took
her
to
be
a loose woman
of
the town,
because
her
face
was
covered.
\VS{16}And
turning
to
her
by
the roadside,
he
said
to
her,
Let
me
come
in
to
you;
for
he
had
no idea
that
she
was
his
daughter-in-law.
And
she
said,
What
will
you
give
me
as
my price?
\VS{17}And
he
said,
I
will
give
you
a
young
goat
from
the
flock.
And
she
said, What
will
you
give
me
as
a sign
till
you
send
it?
\VS{18}And
he
said,
What
would
you
have?
And
she
said,
Your ring
and
its
cord
and
the stick
in
your
hand.
So
he
gave
them
to
her
and
went
in
to
her,
and
she became
with
child
by
him.
\VS{19}Then
she
got
up
and
went
away
and
took
off
her
veil
and
put
on
her widow's
clothing.
\VS{20}Then
Judah
sent
his
friend
Hirah
with
the
young
goat,
to
get
back
the
things
which
he
had
given
as
a sign
to
the
woman:
but
she
was
not
there.
\VS{21}And
he put questions
to
the
men
of
the
place,
saying,
Where
is
the
loose
woman
who
was
in Enaim
by
the
wayside?
And
they
said,
There
was
no
such
woman
there.
\VS{22}So
he
went
back
to
Judah,
and
said,
I
have
not seen
her,
and
the
men
of
the
place
say
that
there
is
no
such
woman
there.
\VS{23}And
Judah
said,
Let
her
keep
the
things,
so
that
we
may
not
be shamed;
I
sent
the
young
goat,
but
you
did
not
see
the
woman.
\VS{24}Now
about
three
months
after
this,
word
came
to
Judah
that
Tamar,
his
daughter-in-law,
had
been acting
like
a loose
woman
and
was
with
child.
And
Judah
said,
Take
her
out
and
let
her
be
burned.
\VS{25}And
while
she
was being
taken
out,
she
sent
word
to
her
father-in-law,
saying,
The
man
whose
property
these
things
are,
is
the father
of
my
child:
say
then,
whose
are
this
ring
and
this
cord
and
this stick?
\VS{26}Then
Judah
said openly
that
they
were
his,
and
said,
She
is
more
upright
than
I am,
for
I
did
not
give
her
to
Shelah
my
son.
And
he
had
no
more
connection
with
her.
\VS{27}And
when
the
time
came
for
her
to
give
birth,
it
was clear
that
there
were two
children
in
her
body.
\VS{28}And
while she
was
in
the
act
of
giving
birth,
one
of
them
put
out
his
hand;
and
the
woman
who
was
with
her
put
a
red thread round
his
hand,
saying,
This
one
came
out
first.
\VS{29}But
then
he
took
his
hand
back
again,
and
his
brother
came first
to birth:
and
the
woman
said,
What
an opening
you
have
made
for
yourself!
So
he
was
named
Perez.
\VS{30}And
then
his
brother
came
out,
with
the
red thread round
his
hand,
and
he
was
named
Zerah.

\par }\Chap{39}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
Joseph
was
taken
down
to
Egypt;
and
Potiphar
the
Egyptian,
a
captain
of high position
in Pharaoh's house, got
him
for
a price
from
the
Ishmaelites
who
had
taken
him
there.
\VS{2}And
the
Lord
was
with
Joseph,
and
he
did well;
and
he
was
living
in
the
house
of
his
master
the
Egyptian.
\VS{3}And
his
master
saw
that
the
Lord
was
with
him,
making
everything
he
did go
well.
\VS{4}And having
a high
opinion
of
Joseph
as
his
servant,
he
made
him
the
overseer
of
his
house
and
gave
him
control
over
all
he
had.
\VS{5}And
from
the
time
when
he
made
him
overseer
and
gave
him control
of
all
his
property,
the
blessing
of
the
Lord
was
with
the
Egyptian,
because
of
Joseph;
the
blessing
of
the
Lord
was
on
all
he
had,
in
the
house
and
in
the
field.
\VS{6}And
he
gave
Joseph
control
of
all
his
property, keeping
no account
of
anything,
but
only
the
food
which
was
put
before
him.
Now
Joseph
was
very
beautiful
in
form
and
face.
\VS{7}And
after
a
time,
his master's
wife,
looking
on
Joseph
with
desire,
said
to
him,
Be
my lover.
\VS{8}But
he
would
not,
and
said
to
her,
You
see
that
my
master keeps
no account
of
what
I
do
in
his
house,
and
has
put
all
his
property
in
my
control;
\VS{9}So
that
no
one
has
more authority
in
this
house
than
I
have;
he
has
kept
nothing
back
from
me
but
you,
because
you
are
his
wife;
how
then
may
I
do
this
great
wrong,
sinning
against
God?
\VS{10}And
day
after
day
she
went
on requesting
Joseph
to
come
to
her
and
be
her lover,
but
he would
not
give ear
to
her.
\VS{11}Now
one
day
he
went
into
the
house
to
do
his
work;
and
not
one
of
the
men
of
the
house
was
inside.
\VS{12}And pulling
at
his coat,
she
said,
Come
to
my
bed;
but slipping
out
of
his coat,
he
went running
away.
\VS{13}And
when
she
saw
that
he
had got
away, letting
her
keep
his coat,
\VS{14}She
sent
for
the
men
of
her
house
and
said
to
them,
See,
he
has let
a
Hebrew
come here
and
make
sport
of
us;
he
came
to
my
bed,
and
I
gave
a
loud
cry;
\VS{15}And
hearing
it
he
went
running
out without
his coat.
\VS{16}And
she kept
his coat
by
her,
till
his
master
came
back.
\VS{17}Then
she
gave
him
the
same story,
saying,
The
Hebrew
servant
whom
you
have taken
into
our house
came
in
to
make
sport
of
me;
\VS{18}And
when
I
gave
a
loud
cry
he
went
running
out without
his coat.
\VS{19}And
hearing
his wife's
account
of
what
his
servant
had
done,
he
became
very
angry.
\VS{20}And Joseph's
master
took
him
and
put
him
in
prison,
in
the
place
where
the king's
prisoners
were
kept
in chains,
and
he
was
there
in
the prison-house.
\VS{21}But
the
Lord
was
with
Joseph,
and
was good
to
him,
and
made
the
keeper
of
the
prison
his friend.
\VS{22}And
the
keeper
of
the
prison
put
all
the
prisoners
under Joseph's
control,
and
he
was
responsible
for
whatever
was
done
there.
\VS{23}And
the
keeper
of
the
prison
gave
no
attention
to
anything
which
was
under
his
care,
because
the
Lord
was
with
him;
and
the
Lord
made
everything
he
did go
well.

\par }\Chap{40}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
after
these
things
the chief servant
who
had
the
care
of
the wine,
and
the chief bread-maker
in Pharaoh's house, did
something
against Pharaoh's
orders;
\VS{2}And
Pharaoh
was
angry
with
his
two servants,
with
the
chief wine-servant
and
the
chief bread-maker;
\VS{3}And
he
put
them
in
prison
under
the care
of
the
captain
of
the army,
in
the
same
prison
where
Joseph
himself
was shut
up.
\VS{4}And
the
captain
put
them
in Joseph's
care,
and
he
did what
was needed
for
them;
and
they
were kept
in
prison
for
some
time.
\VS{5}And
these
two
had
a
dream
on
the
same
night;
the chief wine-servant
and
the chief bread-maker
of
the
king
of
Egypt,
who
were
in
prison,
the
two
of
them
had
dreams
with
a special sense.
\VS{6}And
in
the
morning
when
Joseph
came
to
them
he
saw
that
they
were
looking sad.
\VS{7}And
he
said
to
the servants
of
Pharaoh
who
were
in
prison
with
him,
Why
are
you looking
so sad?
\VS{8}Then
they
said
to
him,
We
have
had
a
dream,
and
no
one
is able
to
give
us
the sense.
And
Joseph
said,
Does
not
the sense
of
dreams
come
from
God? what
was
your
dream?
\VS{9}Then
the
chief wine-servant
gave
Joseph
an
account
of
his
dream,
and
said,
In
my
dream
I
saw
a
vine
before
me;
\VS{10}And
on
the
vine
were
three
branches;
and
it seemed
as
if
it
put out buds
and flowers,
and
from
them
came
grapes ready
for cutting.
\VS{11}And Pharaoh's
cup
was
in
my
hand,
and
I
took
the
grapes
and crushing
them
into Pharaoh's
cup,
gave
the
cup
into Pharaoh's
hand.
\VS{12}Then
Joseph
said,
This
is
the sense
of
your dream:
the
three
branches
are
three
days;
\VS{13}After
three
days
Pharaoh
will
give
you honour,
and
put
you
back
into
your
place,
and
you
will
give
him
his
cup
as
you
did
before,
when
you
were
his wine-servant.
\VS{14}But
keep
me
in
mind
when
things
go
well
for
you,
and
be
good
to
me
and say
a
good word
for
me
to
Pharaoh
and
get
me
out
of
this
prison:
\VS{15}For
truly
I
was
taken
by force
from
the
land
of
the
Hebrews;
and
I
have
done
nothing
for which
I might
be
put
in prison.
\VS{16}Now
when
the
chief bread-maker
saw
that
the
first
dream
had
a
good sense,
he
said
to
Joseph,
I
had
a
dream;
and
in
my
dream
there
were
three
baskets
of
white
bread
on
my
head;
\VS{17}And
in
the
top
basket
were
all sorts
of cooked meats
for
Pharaoh;
and
the
birds
were taking
them
out
of
the
baskets
on
my
head.
\VS{18}Then
Joseph
said,
This
is
the sense
of
your dream:
the
three
baskets
are
three
days;
\VS{19}After
three
days
Pharaoh
will
take
you
out
of prison,
hanging
you
on
a
tree,
so
that
your
flesh
will
be
food
for
birds.
\VS{20}Now
the
third
day
was Pharaoh's
birthday,
and
he
gave
a
feast
for
all
his
servants;
and
he
gave honour
to
the
chief wine-servant
and
the
chief bread-maker
among
the others.
\VS{21}And
he
put
the
chief wine-servant
back
in
his old
place;
and
he
gave
the
cup
into Pharaoh's
hand.
\VS{22}But
the
chief bread-maker
was put
to death
by
hanging,
as
Joseph
had said.
\VS{23}But
the wine-servant
did
not
keep
Joseph
in
mind
or give
a
thought
to
him.

\par }\Chap{41}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
after two
years
had
gone
by,
Pharaoh
had
a
dream;
and
in
his
dream
he
was
by
the side
of
the
Nile;
\VS{2}And
out
of
the
Nile
came
seven
cows, good-looking
and
fat,
and
their food
was
the river-grass.
\VS{3}And
after
them
seven
other
cows
came
out
of
the
Nile, poor-looking
and
thin;
and
they
were
by
the
side
of
the
other
cows.
\VS{4}And
the
seven
thin
cows made
a meal
of
the
seven
fat
cows.
Then
Pharaoh came
out
of
his sleep.
\VS{5}But
he
went
to
sleep
again
and
had
a
second
dream,
in which
he
saw
seven
heads
of
grain, full
and
good,
all
on
one stem.
\VS{6}And
after
them came
up
seven other
heads,
thin
and wasted by
the
east
wind.
\VS{7}And
the
seven
thin
heads made
a meal
of
the good
heads.
And
when
Pharaoh
was awake
he
saw
it
was
a
dream.
\VS{8}And
in
the
morning
his
spirit
was
troubled;
and
he
sent
for
all
the
wise
men
of
Egypt
and
all
the holy
men,
and
put
his
dream before
them,
but
no
one
was able
to
give
him
the sense
of
it.
\VS{9}Then
the
chief wine-servant
said
to
Pharaoh,
The memory
of
my
sin
comes back
to
me
now;
\VS{10}Pharaoh
had been
angry
with
his
servants,
and
had
put
me
in
prison
in
the
house
of
the
captain
of
the army,
together
with
the
chief bread-maker;
\VS{11}And
we
had
a
dream
on
the
same
night,
the two
of us,
and
the
dreams
had
a special sense.
\VS{12}And
there
was
with
us
a
young
Hebrew,
the captain's
servant,
and
when
we put
our
dreams
before
him,
he gave
us
the sense
of
them.
\VS{13}And
it
came
about
as
he
said:
I
was
put
back
in
my
place,
and
the bread-maker
was
put
to death
by
hanging.
\VS{14}Then
Pharaoh
sent
for
Joseph,
and
they
took
him
quickly
out
of prison;
and
when
his hair
had been
cut
and
his dress
changed,
he
came
before
Pharaoh.
\VS{15}And
Pharaoh
said
to
Joseph,
I
have
had
a
dream,
and
no
one
is able
to
give
me
the sense
of
it;
now
it
has come
to
my ears
that
you
are able
to
give
the sense
of
a
dream
when
it
is put
before
you.
\VS{16}Then
Joseph
said,
Without
God
there
will
be no
answer
of
peace
for
Pharaoh.
\VS{17}Then
Pharaoh
said,
In
my
dream
I
was
by
the side
of
the
Nile:
\VS{18}And
out
of
the
Nile
came
seven
cows,
fat
and good-looking,
and
their food
was
the river-grass;
\VS{19}Then
after
them
came
seven
other
cows,
very
thin
and poor-looking,
worse
than
any
I
ever
saw
in
the
land
of
Egypt;
\VS{20}And
the
thin
cows made
a meal
of
the
seven
fat
cows who came
up
first;
\VS{21}And
even
with
the fat cows
inside
them
they seemed
as
bad
as
before.
And
so
I
came
out
of
my sleep.
\VS{22}And again
in
a
dream
I
saw
seven
heads
of
grain,
full
and
good,
coming
up
on
one stem:
\VS{23}And
then
I
saw
seven other
heads, dry,
thin,
and wasted by
the
east
wind,
coming
up
after
them:
\VS{24}And
the
seven
thin
heads
made
a meal
of
the
seven
good
heads;
and
I put
this dream
before
the wise
men,
but
not
one
of
them
was able
to
give
me
the sense
of
it.
\VS{25}Then
Joseph
said,
These two
dreams
have
the
same sense:
God
has
made clear
to
Pharaoh
what
he
is
about
to
do.
\VS{26}The
seven fat
cows
are
seven
years,
and
the
seven
good
heads
of
grain
are
seven
years:
the two
have
the
same sense.
\VS{27}The
seven
thin
and poor-looking
cows who
came
up
after
them
are
seven
years;
and
the
seven
heads
of
grain, dry
and wasted
by
the
east
wind,
are
seven
years
when
there
will
be no food.
\VS{28}As
I
said
to
Pharaoh
before,
God
has
made clear
to
him
what
he
is
about
to
do.
\VS{29}Seven
years
are
coming
in which
there
will
be
great wealth
of
grain
in
Egypt;
\VS{30}And
after
that
will
come
seven
years
when
there
will
not
be enough food;
and
the memory
of
the
good
years
will
go
from men's minds;
and
the
land
will
be
made
waste
by
the bad
years;
\VS{31}And men
will
have
no memory
of
the good time
because
of
the
need
which
will come
after,
for
it
will
be
very bitter.
\VS{32}And
this
dream
came
to
Pharaoh
twice,
because
this
thing
is
certain,
and
God
will
quickly
make
it come
about.
\VS{33}And
now
let
Pharaoh
make
search
for
a
man
of
wisdom
and good sense,
and
put
him
in
authority
over
the
land
of
Egypt.
\VS{34}Let
Pharaoh
do
this,
and
let
him
put
overseers
over
the
land
of
Egypt
to
put
in store
a
fifth
part
of
the
produce
of
the
land
in
the good
years.
\VS{35}And let
them
get
together
all
the
food
in
those
good
years
and
make
a
store
of
grain
under Pharaoh's
control
for
the use
of
the
towns,
and let
them
keep
it.
\VS{36}And
let
that
food
be kept
in store
for
the
land till
the
seven bad
years
which
are
to
come
in
Egypt;
so
that
the
land
may
not
come
to destruction
through need
of
food.
\VS{37}And
this
seemed
good
to
Pharaoh
and
to
all
his
servants.
\VS{38}Then
Pharaoh
said
to
his
servants,
Where
may
we get
such
a
man
as
this,
a
man
in
whom
is
the
spirit
of
God?
\VS{39}And
Pharaoh
said
to
Joseph, Seeing
that
God
has
made
all
this
clear
to
you,
there
is
no
other
man
of
such
wisdom
and good sense
as
you:
\VS{40}You,
then,
are
to
be
over
my
house,
and
all
my
people
will
be ruled
by
your
word:
only
as
king
will
I
be
greater
than
you.
\VS{41}And
Pharaoh
said
to
Joseph,
See,
I
have
put
you
over
all
the
land
of
Egypt.
\VS{42}Then
Pharaoh
took
off
his
ring
from
his
hand
and
put
it
on Joseph's
hand,
and
he
had
him
clothed
with
the best
linen,
and
put
a
chain
of
gold round
his
neck;
\VS{43}And
he
made
him
take
his seat
in
the
second
of
his carriages;
and
they
went
before
him
crying,
Make
way!
So
he
made
him ruler
over
all
the
land
of
Egypt.
\VS{44}Then
Pharaoh
said
to
Joseph,
I
am
Pharaoh;
and
without
your
order
no
man
may
do
anything
in
all
the
land
of
Egypt.
\VS{45}And
Pharaoh
gave
Joseph
the
name
of Zaphnath-paaneah;
and
he
gave
him
Asenath,
the
daughter
of Poti-phera,
the
priest
of
On,
to
be
his
wife.
So
Joseph
went
through all
the
land
of
Egypt.
\VS{46}Now
Joseph
was
thirty
years
old
when
he
came
before
Pharaoh,
king
of
Egypt.
And
Joseph
went
out
from
before
the
face
of
Pharaoh
and
went
through
all
the
land
of
Egypt.
\VS{47}Now
in
the
seven good
years
the
earth
gave fruit
in masses.
\VS{48}And
Joseph got
together
all
the
food
of
those
seven
years,
and
made
a store
of
food
in
the
towns:
the
produce
of
the
fields
round
every
town
was
stored
up
in
the
town.
\VS{49}So
he got
together
a
store
of
grain
like
the
sand
of
the
sea;
so
great
a
store
that
after
a
time
he
gave
up
measuring
it,
for
it
might
not
be measured.
\VS{50}And
before
the
time
of need,
Joseph
had
two
sons,
to
whom
Asenath,
the
daughter
of Poti-phera,
priest
of
On,
gave
birth.
\VS{51}And
to
the first
he
gave
the
name
Manasseh,
for
he said,
God
has taken
away
from
me
all
memory
of
my
hard life
and
of
my father's
house.
\VS{52}And
to
the
second
he
gave
the
name
Ephraim,
for
he said,
God
has
given
me
fruit
in
the
land
of
my sorrow.
\VS{53}And
so
the
seven good
years
in
Egypt
came
to
an
end.
\VS{54}Then
came
the first
of
the
seven
years
of need
as
Joseph
had
said:
and
in
every
other
land
they
were short
of
food;
but
in
the
land
of
Egypt
there
was
bread.
\VS{55}And
when
all
the
land
of
Egypt
was
in need
of
food,
the
people
came
crying
to
Pharaoh
for
bread;
and
Pharaoh
said
to
the
people, Go
to
Joseph,
and
whatever
he
says
to
you,
do
it.
\VS{56}And
everywhere
on
the
earth
they
were short
of food;
then
Joseph, opening
all
his store-houses,
gave
the
people
of
Egypt
grain
for money;
so great
was
the need
of food
in
the
land
of
Egypt.
\VS{57}And
all
lands sent
to
Egypt,
to
Joseph,
to
get
grain,
for
the need
was great
over
all
the
earth.

\par }\Chap{42}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
Jacob, hearing
that
there
was
grain
in
Egypt,
said
to
his
sons,
Why
are
you
looking
at
one
another?
\VS{2}And
he
said,
I
have
had
news
that
there
is
grain
in
Egypt:
go
down
there
and get
grain
for
us,
so
that
life
and
not
death
may
be ours.
\VS{3}So Joseph's
ten
brothers
went
down
to get
grain
from
Egypt.
\VS{4}But
Jacob
did
not
send
Benjamin, Joseph's
brother,
with
them,
for
fear,
as
he
said,
that some evil
might
come
to
him.
\VS{5}And
the
sons
of
Israel
came
with all
the others
to
get
grain:
for
they
were very short
of food
in
the
land
of
Canaan.
\VS{6}Now
Joseph
was
ruler
over
all
the
land,
and
it
was
he
who
gave
out
the
grain
to
all
the
people
of
the
land;
and Joseph's
brothers
came
before
him
and
went
down
on
their
faces
to
the
earth.
\VS{7}And
when
Joseph
saw
his
brothers,
it
was clear
to
him
who
they
were,
but
he
made
himself strange
to
them,
and
talking roughly
to
them,
said,
Where
do
you
come
from?
And
they
said,
From
the
land
of
Canaan,
to
get
food.
\VS{8}Now though
Joseph saw
that
these
were
his
brothers,
they
had
no idea
who
he
was.
\VS{9}Then
the memory
of
his
dreams
about
them
came
back
to
Joseph,
and
he
said
to
them,
You
have
come secretly
to
see
how poor
the
land
is.
\VS{10}And
they
said
to
him,
Not
so,
my
lord:
your
servants
have
come
with money
to
get
food.
\VS{11}We
are
all
one man's
sons,
we
are
true
men;
we
have
not
come
with
any secret purpose.
\VS{12}And
he
said
to
them,
No,
but
you
have
come
to
see
how poor
the
land
is.
\VS{13}Then
they
said,
We
your
servants
are
twelve
brothers,
sons
of
one
man
in
the
land
of
Canaan;
the
youngest
of
us
is
now
with
our
father,
and
one
is dead.
\VS{14}And
Joseph
said,
It
is
as
I
said;
you
have come
with some secret purpose;
\VS{15}But
in
this
way
will
you
be
put
to
the
test:
by
the
life
of
Pharaoh,
you
will
not
go
away
from
this
place till
your
youngest
brother
comes
here.
\VS{16}Send
one
of
your number
to
get
your
brother,
and
the rest
of
you
will
be kept
in prison,
so
that
your
words
may
be
tested
to
see
if
you
are
true;
if
not,
by
the
life
of
Pharaoh,
your
purpose
is
certainly secret.
\VS{17}So
he
put
them
in
prison
for
three
days.
\VS{18}And
on
the
third
day
Joseph
said
to
them,
Do
this, if
you
would
keep
your
lives:
for
I
am
a
god-fearing man:
\VS{19}If
you
are
true men,
let
one
of
you
be kept
in
prison,
while
you
go
and
take
grain
for
the needs
of
your
families;
\VS{20}And
come
back
to
me
with
your
youngest
brother,
so
that
your
words
may
be seen
to
be
true,
and
you
will
not
be
put
to
death.
This
is
what
you
are
to
do.
\VS{21}And
they
said
to
one
another,
Truly,
we
did wrong
to
our
brother,
for
we
saw
his grief
of
mind,
and
we
did
not
give ear
to
his prayers;
that
is
why
this
trouble
has
come
on
us.
\VS{22}And
Reuben
said
to
them,
Did
I
not
say
to
you,
Do
the
child
no
wrong?
but
you
gave
no
attention;
so
now, punishment
has come
on
us
for
his
blood.
\VS{23}They
were
not conscious
that
the sense
of
their words
was clear
to
Joseph,
for
he
had
been talking
to
them
through
one
who
had
knowledge
of
their language.
\VS{24}And
turning
away
from
them,
he
was overcome
with
weeping;
then
he
went
on
talking
to
them
again
and
took
Simeon
and
put chains
on
him
before
their
eyes.
\VS{25}Then
Joseph
gave
orders
for
their
bags
to
be
made
full
of
grain,
and
for
every man's
money
to
be
put
back
into
his
bag,
and
for
food
to
be
given
them
for
the
journey: which
was
done.
\VS{26}Then
they
put
the bags
of
grain
on
their asses
and
went
away.
\VS{27}Now
at
their night's resting-place
one
of
them,
opening
his bag
to
give
his ass
some
food,
saw
his
money
in
the
mouth
of
the bag.
\VS{28}And
he
said
to
his
brothers,
My
money
has
been given
back:
it
is
in
my bag;
then
their
hearts
became
full
of
fear,
and
turning
to
one
another
they
said,
What
is
this
which
God
has
done
to
us?
\VS{29}So
when
they
came
to
Jacob
their
father,
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
they
gave
him
an account
of
all
their experiences,
saying,
\VS{30}The
man
who
is
the ruler
of
the
country
was rough
with
us
and
put
us
in prison,
saying
that
we
had come
with
a secret evil purpose.
\VS{31}And
we
said
to
him,
We
are
true
men,
we
have
no evil designs;
\VS{32}We
are
twelve
brothers,
sons
of
our
father;
one
is dead,
and
the
youngest
is
now
with
our
father
in
the
land
of
Canaan.
\VS{33}And
the ruler
of
the
land
said,
In
this
way
I
may
be
certain
that
you
are
true
men;
let
one
of
you
be kept
here
with
me,
while
you
go
and
take
grain
for
the needs
of
your
families;
\VS{34}And
come
back
to
me
with
your
youngest
brother:
then
I
will
be
certain
that
you
are
true men,
and
I
will
give
your
brother
back
to
you
and
let
you
do
trade
in
the
land.
\VS{35}And
when
they
took
the grain
out
of
their bags,
it
was
seen
that
every man's parcel
of
money
was
in
his
bag;
and
when
they
and
their
father
saw
the
money,
they
were full
of
fear.
\VS{36}And
Jacob
their
father
said
to
them,
You
have
taken
my
children
from
me:
Joseph
is
gone
and
Simeon
is
gone,
and
now
you
would
take
Benjamin
away;
all
these
things
have
come
on
me.
\VS{37}And
Reuben
said,
Put
my
two
sons
to
death
if
I
do
not
come
back
to
you
with
him;
let
him
be
in
my
care
and
I
will
give
him safely
back
to
you.
\VS{38}And
he
said,
I
will
not
let
my
son
go
down
with
you;
for
his
brother
is
dead
and
he
is all
I
have:
if evil overtakes
him
on
the
journey,
then
through
you
will
my grey
head
go
down
to
the underworld
in
sorrow.

\par }\Chap{43}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
the
land
was
in bitter need
of food.
\VS{2}And
when
the
grain
which
they
had got
in
Egypt
was
all
used
up,
their
father
said
to
them,
Go
again
and
get
us
a
little
food.
\VS{3}And
Judah
said
to
him,
The
man
said
to
us
with
an oath,
You
are
not
to come
before
me
again
without
your
brother.
\VS{4}If
you
will
let
our
brother
go
with
us,
we
will
go
down
and
get
food:
\VS{5}But
if
you
will
not
send
him,
we
will
not
go
down:
for
the
man
said
to
us,
You
are
not
to
come
before
me
if
your
brother
is
not
with
you.
\VS{6}And
Israel
said,
Why
were
you so cruel
to
me
as
to
say
to
him
that
you
had
a
brother?
\VS{7}And
they
said,
The
man
put
a number
of
questions
to
us
about
ourselves
and
our
family,
saying,
Is
your
father
still
living?
have
you
another
brother?
And
we
had
to
give
him
answers;
how
were
we
to
have
any
idea
that
he
would
say,
Come
back
with
your
brother?
\VS{8}Then
Judah
said
to
Israel,
his
father,
Send
the
boy
with
me,
and
let
us
be
up
and going,
so
that
we
and
you
and
our
little
ones
may
not
come
to destruction.
\VS{9}Put
him
into
my
care
and
make
me responsible
for
him:
if
I
do
not
give
him safely
back
to
you,
let mine
be
the
sin
for ever.
\VS{10}Truly,
if
we
had
not
let
the
time
go
by,
we might
have
come
back
again
by
now.
\VS{11}Then
their
father
Israel
said
to
them,
If
it
has
to
be
so,
then
do
this:
take
of
the
best fruits
of
the
land
in
your
vessels
to
give
the
man, perfumes
and
honey
and
spices
and
nuts:
\VS{12}And
take
twice
as
much
money
with
you;
that
is
to
say,
take
back
the
money
which
was
put
in
your bags,
for
it
may
have been
an error;
\VS{13}And
take
your
brother
and
go
back
to
the
man:
\VS{14}And
may
God,
the Ruler
of
all,
give
you
mercy
before
the
man,
so
that
he
may
give
you back
your
other
brother
and
Benjamin.
If
my
children
are
to
be
taken
from
me;
there
is
no help
for
it.
\VS{15}So
they
took
what
their father said
for
the
man,
and
twice
as
much
money
in
their
hands,
and
Benjamin,
and
went
on
their journey
to
Egypt,
and
came
before
Joseph.
\VS{16}And
when
Joseph
saw
Benjamin,
he
said
to
his chief servant,
Take
these
men
into
my
house,
and
make
ready
a meal,
for
they
will
take
food
with
me
in
the middle
of
the day.
\VS{17}And
the servant
did
as
Joseph
said,
and
took
the
men
into Joseph's
house.
\VS{18}Now
the
men
were
full
of
fear
because
they
had been
taken
into Joseph's
house
and
they
said,
It
is
because
of
the
money
which
was
put
back
in
our bags
the
first
time;
he
is looking
for
something
against
us,
so
that
he
may
come
down
on
us
and
take
us
and
our asses
for
his
use.
\VS{19}So
they
went
up
to Joseph's chief servant
at
the
door
of
the
house,
\VS{20}And
said,
O
my
lord, we only
came
down
the
first
time
to get
food;
\VS{21}And
when
we
came
to
our night's resting-place,
on
opening
our bags
we
saw
that
every man's
money
was
in
the
mouth
of
his bag,
all
our
money
in
full
weight:
and
we
have
it
with
us
to
give
it
back;
\VS{22}As
well
as
more
money,
with
which
to get
food: we
have
no idea
who
put
our
money
in
our bags.
\VS{23}Then
the servant
said,
Peace
be
with
you:
have
no
fear:
your
God,
even
the
God
of
your
father,
has
put
wealth
in
your bags
for
you:
I
had
your
money.
Then
he
let
Simeon
come
out
to
them.
\VS{24}And
the servant
took
them
into Joseph's
house,
and
gave
them
water
for
washing
their
feet;
and
he
gave
their asses
food.
\VS{25}And
they got
ready
the things
for
Joseph
before
he
came
in
the middle
of
the day:
for
word
was
given
to
them
that
they
were
to
have
a
meal
there.
\VS{26}And
when
Joseph
came
in,
they
gave
him
the
things
which
they
had
for
him,
and
went
down
to
the
earth before
him.
\VS{27}And
he
said,
How
are
you?
is
your
father
well,
the
old
man
of
whom
you
were talking
to
me?
is
he
still
living?
\VS{28}And
they
said,
Your
servant,
our
father,
is
well,
he
is
still
living.
And
they went
down
on
their faces
before
him.
\VS{29}Then, lifting
up
his
eyes,
he
saw
Benjamin,
his
brother,
his mother's
son,
and
he
said,
Is
this
your
youngest
brother
of
whom
you
gave
me
word?
And
he
said,
God
be good
to
you,
my
son.
\VS{30}Then Joseph's heart
went
out
to
his
brother,
and
he
went
quickly
into
his
room,
for
he
was overcome
with
weeping.
\VS{31}Then,
after
washing
his
face,
he
came
out,
and controlling
his feelings
said,
Put
food
before
us.
\VS{32}And
they
put
a
meal ready
for
him
by
himself,
and
for
them
by
themselves,
and
for
the
Egyptians
who
were
with
him
by
themselves;
because
the
Egyptians
may
not
take
food
with
the
Hebrews,
for
that would
make
them unclean.
\VS{33}And
they
were
all given
their seats
before
him
in order
of birth,
from
the
oldest
to
the
youngest:
so
that
they
were looking
at
one
another
in
wonder.
\VS{34}And
Joseph
sent food
to
them
from
his
table,
but
he
sent
five
times
as
much
to
Benjamin
as
to
any
of
the others.
And
they
took wine
freely
with
him.

\par }\Chap{44}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Then
he
gave
orders
to
the servant
who
was
over
his
house,
saying,
Put
as
much
food
into
the men's bags
as
will go
into
them,
and
put
every man's
money
in
the
mouth
of
his bag;
\VS{2}And
put
my
cup,
my
silver
cup,
in
the
youngest one's bag,
with
his
money.
So
he
did
as
Joseph
said.
\VS{3}And
at
dawn
the
men,
with
their asses,
were
sent
away.
\VS{4}And
when
they
had
gone only
a little
way
out
of
the
town,
Joseph
said
to
the servant
who
was
over
his
house,
Go
after
them;
and
when
you
overtake
them,
say
to
them,
Why
have
you
done
evil
in
reward
for
good?
\VS{5}Is
not
this
the
cup
from
which
my
lord takes wine
and
by
which
he gets knowledge
of
the future? Truly,
you
have
done
evil.
\VS{6}So
he
overtook
them
and
said
these
words
to
them.
\VS{7}And
they
said
to
him,
Why
does
my
lord
say
such
words
as
these?
far
be
it
from
your
servants
to
do
such
a
thing:
\VS{8}See,
the
money
which
was
in
the
mouth
of
our bags
we
gave
back
to
you
when
we
came
again
from
Canaan:
how
then
might
we
take
silver
or
gold
from
your lord's
house?
\VS{9}If
it
comes
to light
that
any
of
your
servants
has
done
this,
let
him
be
put
to
death,
and
we
will
be
your lord's
servants.
\VS{10}And
he
said,
Let
it
be
as
you
say:
he
in
whose bag
it
is seen
will
become
my
servant;
and
you
will
not
be responsible.
\VS{11}Then
every
man
quickly got
his bag
down
and undid
it.
\VS{12}And
he made
a
search, starting
with
the
oldest
and
ending
with
the
youngest;
and
the
cup
was
in Benjamin's bag.
\VS{13}Then
in bitter grief
they
put
the bags
on
the asses
again
and
went
back
to
the
town.
\VS{14}So
Judah
and
his
brothers
came
to Joseph's
house;
and
he
was
still
there:
and
they
went
down
on
their
faces
before
him.
\VS{15}And
Joseph
said,
What
is
this
thing
which
you
have
done?
had
you
no
thought
that
such
a
man
as
I
would
have power
to
see
what
is secret?
\VS{16}And
Judah
said,
What
are
we
to
say
to
my
lord?
how
may
we
put
ourselves
right
in
his eyes?
God
has
made clear
the
sin
of
your
servants:
now
we
are
in
your
hands,
we
and
the man
in
whose bag
your
cup
was seen.
\VS{17}Then
he
said,
Far
be
it
from
me
to
do
so:
but
the
man
who
had
my
cup
will
be
my
servant;
and
you
may
go
back
to
your
father
in
peace.
\VS{18}Then
Judah
came
near
him,
and
said,
Let
your
servant
say
a
word
in
my lord's
ears,
and
let
not
your
wrath
be burning
against
your
servant:
for
you
are
in
the place
of
Pharaoh
to
us.
\VS{19}My
lord
said
to
his
servants,
Have
you
a
father
or
a
brother?
\VS{20}And
we
said
to
my
lord,
We
have
an
old
father
and
a
young
child, whom
he
had
when
he
was
old;
his
brother
is
dead
and
he
is
the
only son
of
his
mother,
and
is very dear
to
his
father.
\VS{21}And
you
said
to
your
servants,
Let
him
come
down
to
me
with
you,
so
that
I
may
see
him.
\VS{22}And
we
said
to
my
lord,
His
father
will
not
let
him go;
for if
he
went away
his
father
would come
to
his
death.
\VS{23}But
you
said
to
your
servants,
If
your
youngest
brother
does
not
come
with
you,
you
will
not
see
my
face
again.
\VS{24}And
when
we
went
back
to
your
servant,
our
father,
we
gave
him
an
account
of
my lord's
words.
\VS{25}And
our
father
said,
Go
again
and
get
us
a
little
food.
\VS{26}And
we
said,
Only
if
our
youngest
brother
goes
with
us
will
we
go
down;
for
we
may
not
see
the man's
face
again
if
our
youngest
brother
is
not
with
us.
\VS{27}And
our
father
said
to
us,
You
have
knowledge
that
my
wife
gave
me
two
sons;
\VS{28}The
one
went
away
from
me,
and
I
said,
Truly
he
has
come
to
a violent death;
and
from
that
time
I
have
not
seen
him,
\VS{29}If
now
you
take
this
one
from
me,
and some
evil
comes
to
him,
you
will
make
my grey
head
go
down
in sorrow
to
the underworld.
\VS{30}If
then
I
go
back
to
your
servant,
my
father,
without
the
boy,
because
his
life
and
the boy's
life
are
one,
\VS{31}When
he
sees
that
the
boy
is
not
with
us,
he
will
come
to
his
death,
and
our father's grey
head
will
go
down
in
sorrow
to
the underworld.
\VS{32}For
I
made myself responsible
for
the
boy
to
my
father,
saying,
If
I
do
not
give
him safely
back
to
you,
let
mine
be
the
sin
for ever.
\VS{33}So
now
let
me
be
my lord's
servant
here
in
place
of
the
boy,
and
let
him
go
back
with
his
brothers.
\VS{34}For
how
may
I
go
back
to
my
father
without
the
boy,
and
see
the
evil
which
will
come
on
my
father?

\par }\Chap{45}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Then
Joseph,
unable
to keep
back
his feelings
before
those
who
were
with
him,
gave orders
for
everyone
to
be
sent
away,
and
no
one
was
present
when
he
made
clear
to
his
brothers
who
he
was.
\VS{2}And
so loud
was
his
weeping,
that
it came
to
the ears
of
the
Egyptians
and all Pharaoh's
house.
\VS{3}And
Joseph
said
to
his
brothers,
I
am
Joseph:
is
my
father
still
living?
But
his
brothers
were
not
able
to
give
him
an
answer
for
they
were troubled
before
him.
\VS{4}Then
Joseph
said
to
his
brothers,
Come
near
to
me.
And
they
came
near,
And
he
said,
I
am
Joseph
your
brother,
whom
you
sent
into
Egypt.
\VS{5}Now
do
not
be troubled
or
angry
with
yourselves
for
sending
me
away,
because
God
sent
me
before
you
to
be
the saviour
of
your lives.
\VS{6}For
these
two
years
have
been
years
of need,
and
there
are
still
five
more
years
to come
in
which
there
will
be
no ploughing
or cutting
of grain.
\VS{7}God
sent
me
before
you
to keep
you
and yours living
on
earth
so
that
you might become
a
great nation.
\VS{8}So
now
it
was
not
you
who
sent
me
here,
but
God:
and
he
has
made
me
as
a
father
to
Pharaoh,
and
lord
of
all
his
house,
and
ruler
over
all
the
land
of
Egypt.
\VS{9}Now
go
quickly
to
my
father,
and
say
to
him,
Your
son
Joseph
says,
God
has
made
me ruler
over
all
the land
of
Egypt:
come
down
to
me straight
away:
\VS{10}The
land
of
Goshen
will
be
your living-place,
and
you
will
be
near
me;
you
and
your
children
and
your children's
children,
and
your
flocks
and
herds
and
all
you
have:
\VS{11}And
there
I
will
take care
of
you,
so
that
you
and
your
family
may
not
be
in need,
for
there
are
still
five bad
years
to
come.
\VS{12}Now
truly,
your
eyes
see,
and
the
eyes
of
my
brother
Benjamin
see,
that
it
is
my
mouth
which
says
these things
to
you.
\VS{13}Give
my
father
word
of
all
my
glory
in
Egypt
and
of
all
you
have
seen;
and
come
back
quickly
with
my
father.
\VS{14}Then,
weeping,
he took
Benjamin
in
his arms,
and
Benjamin
himself
was
weeping
on Joseph's
neck.
\VS{15}Then
he gave
a kiss
to
all
his
brothers,
weeping
over
them;
and
after
that
his
brothers
had
no fear
of
talking
to
him.
\VS{16}And
news
of these things
went
through Pharaoh's
house,
and
it
was
said
that Joseph's
brothers
were
come;
and
it
seemed
good
to
Pharaoh
and
his
servants.
\VS{17}And
Pharaoh
said
to
Joseph,
Say
to
your
brothers,
Put
your goods
on
your
beasts
and
go
back
to
the
land
of
Canaan;
\VS{18}And
get
your
father
and
your
families
and
come
back
to
me:
and
I
will
give
you
all
the
good
things
of
Egypt,
and
the
fat
of
the
land
will
be
your
food.
\VS{19}And say
to
them,
This
you
are
to
do:
take
carts
from
the
land
of
Egypt
for
your
little
ones
and
for
your
wives,
and
get
your
father
and
come
back.
\VS{20}And take
no
thought
for
your
goods,
for
the
best
of
all
the
land
of
Egypt
is yours.
\VS{21}And
the
children
of
Israel
did
as
he
said;
and
Joseph
gave
them
carts
as
had been ordered
by
Pharaoh,
and
food
for
their
journey.
\VS{22}To
every
one
of
them
he
gave
three
changes
of
clothing;
but
to
Benjamin
he
gave
three
hundred bits
of
silver
and
five
changes
of
clothing.
\VS{23}And
to
his
father
he
sent
ten asses
with
good
things
from
Egypt
on
their backs,
and
ten she-asses
with
grain
and
bread
and
food
for
his
father
on
the
journey.
\VS{24}And
he
sent
his
brothers
on
their
way,
and
said
to
them, See
that
you
have
no argument
on
the
road.
\VS{25}So
they
went
up
from
Egypt
and
came
to
the
land
of
Canaan,
to
their
father
Jacob.
\VS{26}And
they
said
to
him,
Joseph
is
living,
and
is
ruler
over
all
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
at
this
word
Jacob
was quite overcome,
for
he
had
no
faith
in
it.
\VS{27}And
they
gave
him
an
account
of
everything
Joseph
had
said
to
them;
and
when
he
saw
the
carts
which
Joseph
had
sent
for
them,
his
spirit
came
back
to
him:
\VS{28}And
Israel
said,
It
is
enough:
Joseph
my
son
is
still
living;
I
will go
and
see
him
before
my
death.

\par }\Chap{46}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Israel
went
on
his
journey
with
all
he
had,
and
came
to Beer-sheba,
where
he
made
offerings
to
the
God
of
his
father
Isaac.
\VS{2}And
God
said
to
Israel
in
a night-vision,
Jacob,
Jacob.
And
he
said,
Here
am
I.
\VS{3}And
he
said,
I
am
God,
the
God
of
your
father:
go
down
to
Egypt
without
fear,
for
I
will
make
a
great
nation
of
you
there:
\VS{4}I
will
go
down
with
you
to
Egypt,
and
I
will
see
that
you
come
back again,
and
at
your death
Joseph
will
put
his
hands
on
your
eyes.
\VS{5}Then
Jacob
went
on
from Beer-sheba;
and
the
sons
of
Jacob
took
their
father
and
their
little
ones
and
their
wives
in
the
carts
which
Pharaoh
had
sent
for
them.
\VS{6}And
they
took
their
cattle
and
all
the
goods
which
they
had
got
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
and
came
to
Egypt,
even
Jacob
and
all
his
seed:
\VS{7}His
sons
and
his sons'
sons,
his
daughters
and
his daughters'
sons
and
all
his
family
he
took
with
him
into
Egypt.
\VS{8}And
these
are
the
names
of
the
children
of
Israel
who
came
into
Egypt,
even
Jacob
and all
his
sons:
Reuben, Jacob's
oldest
son;
\VS{9}And
the
sons
of
Reuben:
Hanoch
and
Pallu
and
Hezron
and
Carmi;

of
Simeon:
Jemuel

Jamin
and
Ohad

Jachin
and
Zohar

Shaul,
the
son
of
a woman
of Canaan;

the
sons

Levi:
Gershon,
Kohath,
and
Merari;
\VS{12}And
the
sons
of
Judah:
Er

Onan
and
Shelah
and
Perez
and
Zerah:
but
Er
and
Onan
had
come
to
their
death
in
the
land
of
Canaan;
and
the
sons
of
Perez
were
Hezron

Hamul.
\VS{13}And
the
sons
of
Issachar:
Tola
and
Puah
and Job
and
Shimron;
\VS{14}And
the
sons
of
Zebulun:
Sered
and
Elon
and
Jahleel;
\VS{15}All
these,
together
with
his
daughter
Dinah,
were
the
children
of
Leah,
whom
Jacob
had
by
her
in
Paddan-aram;
they
were
thirty-three
in
number.
\VS{16}And
the
sons
of
Gad:
Ziphion
and
Haggi,
Shuni
and
Ezbon,
Eri
and

and
Areli;
\VS{17}And
the

and
Ishvi
and
Beriah,
and Sarah,
their
sister;
and
the
sons
of
Beriah:
Heber
and
Malchiel.
\VS{18}These
are
the
children
of
Zilpah,
whom
Laban
gave
to
his
daughter
Leah,
and
Jacob
had
these
sixteen
children
by
her.
\VS{19}The
sons
of Jacob's
wife
Rachel:
Joseph
and
Benjamin.
\VS{20}And
Joseph
had
Manasseh
and
Ephraim
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
by
Asenath,
the
daughter
of Poti-phera,
priest
of
On.
\VS{21}And
the
sons

Benjamin
were Belah

Becher
and
Ashbel,
Gera
and
Naaman,
Ehi
and
Rosh,
Muppim
and
Huppim
and
Ard.
\VS{22}All
these
were
the
children

Rachel
whom
Jacob
had
by
her,
fourteen
persons.
\VS{23}And
the
son
of
Dan
was
Hushim.
\VS{24}And
the
sons
of
Naphtali:
Jahzeel
and
Guni
and
Jezer
and
Shillem.
\VS{25}These
were
the
children
of
Bilhah,
whom
Laban
gave
to
his
daughter
Rachel,
seven
persons.
\VS{26}All
the
persons
who
came
with
Jacob
into
Egypt,
the
offspring
of
his
body,
were sixty-six, without
taking
into account
the
wives
of Jacob's
sons.
\VS{27}And
the
sons
of
Joseph
whom
he
had
in
Egypt
were
two.
Seventy
persons
of
the
family
of
Jacob
came
into
Egypt.
\VS{28}Now
he
had
sent
Judah
before
him
to
Goshen,
to
get
word
from
Joseph;
and
so
they
came
to
the
land
of
Goshen.
\VS{29}And
Joseph
got
his carriage
ready
and
went
to
Goshen
for
the meeting
with
his
father;
and
when
he
came
before
him,
he
put
his arms round
his
neck,
weeping.
\VS{30}And
Israel
said
to
Joseph,
Now
that
I
have
seen
you
living
again,
I am ready
for
death.
\VS{31}And
Joseph
said
to
his
brothers
and
to
his father's
people,
I
will
go
and
give
the
news
to
Pharaoh,
and
say
to
him,
My
brothers
and
my father's
people,
from
the
land
of
Canaan,
have
come
to
me;
\VS{32}And
these
men
are
keepers
of
sheep
and owners
of
cattle,
and
have
with
them
their
flocks
and
their
herds
and
all
they
have.
\VS{33}Now
when
Pharaoh sends
for
you
and
says,
What
is
your
business?
\VS{34}You
are
to
say,
Your
servants
have
been
keepers
of
cattle
from
our early days
up
to
now,
like
our
fathers;
in
this
way
you
will
be able
to
have
the
land
of
Goshen
for
yourselves;
because
keepers
of
sheep
are unclean
in
the eyes
of
the
Egyptians.

\par }\Chap{47}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Then
Joseph
went
to
Pharaoh,

\VS{4}And
they
said
to
Pharaoh,
We
have
come
to
make
a
living
in
this
land,
because
we
have
no grass
for
our
flocks
in
the
land
of
Canaan;
so
now
let
your
servants
make
a
place
for themselves
in
the
land
of
Goshen.
\VS{5}And
Pharaoh
said
to
Joseph, Let
them
have
the land
of Goshen;
and if there
are any able
men
among
them,
put
them
over
my cattle.
\VS{6}And Jacob
and
his
sons
came
to Joseph
in
Egypt,
and
when word
of
it
came
to
the ears
of Pharaoh,
king
of
Egypt,
he said
to Joseph,
Your
father
and
brothers
have come
to
you;
all
the
land
of
Egypt
is
before
you;
let
your
father
and
your
brothers
have
the
best
of
the
land
for
their resting-place.
\VS{7}Then
Joseph made
his
father
Jacob
come
before
Pharaoh,
and
Jacob
gave
him
his
blessing.
\VS{8}And
Pharaoh
said
to
him,
How
old
are
you?
\VS{9}And
Jacob
said,
The
years
of
my wanderings
have
been
a
hundred
and
thirty;
small
in number
and
full
of sorrow
have
been
the
years
of
my
life,
and less
than
the
years
of
the wanderings
of
my
fathers.
\VS{10}And
Jacob
gave
Pharaoh
his
blessing,
and
went
out
from
before
him.
\VS{11}And
Joseph
made
a
place
for
his
father
and
his
brothers,
and
gave
them
a heritage
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
in
the
best
of
the
land,
the
land
of
Rameses,
as
Pharaoh
had
given
orders.
\VS{12}And
Joseph
took care
of
his
father
and
his
brothers
and
all
his father's people, giving
them
food
for
the needs
of
their
families.
\VS{13}Now
there
was
no
food
to
be
had
in
all
the
land,
so
that
all
Egypt
and
Canaan
were wasted
from need
of
food.
\VS{14}And
all
the
money
in
Egypt
and
in
the
land
of
Canaan
which
had
been given
for
grain,
came
into
the hands
of
Joseph:
and
he
put
it
in Pharaoh's
house.
\VS{15}And
when
all
the
money
in
Egypt
and
Canaan
was
gone,
the
Egyptians
came
to
Joseph,
and
said,
Give
us
bread;
would
you
have
us
come
to destruction
before
your eyes?
for
we
have
no
more
money.
\VS{16}And
Joseph
said,
Give
me
your
cattle;
I
will
give
you grain
in
exchange
for
your
cattle
if
your
money
is all
gone.
\VS{17}So
they
took
their
cattle
to
Joseph
and
he
gave
them
bread
in
exchange
for
their
horses
and
flocks
and
herds
and asses,
so
all
that
year
he
gave
them
food
in
exchange
for
their
cattle.
\VS{18}And
when
that
year
was
ended,
they
came
to
him
in
the
second
year,
and
said,
We
may
not
keep
it
from
our lord's knowledge
that
all
our
money
is
gone,
and
all
the
herds
of
cattle
are
my lord's;
there
is
nothing
more
to
give
my
lord
but
our
bodies
and
our
land;
\VS{19}Are
we
to
come
to destruction
before
your
eyes,
we
and
our
land?
take
us
and
our
land
and
give
us
bread;
and
we
and
our
land
will
be
servants
to
Pharaoh;
and
give
us
seed
so
that
we
may
have
life
and
the
land
may
not
become waste.
\VS{20}So
Joseph got
all
the
land
in
Egypt
for
Pharaoh;
for
every
Egyptian
gave
up
his
land
in exchange
for food,
because
of
their great
need;
so
all
the
land
became Pharaoh's.
\VS{21}And
as
for
the
people,
he made servants
of
them,
town
by
town,
from one
end
of
Egypt
to
the other.
\VS{22}Only
he
did
not
take
the
land
of
the
priests,
for
the
priests
had
their
food
given
them
by
Pharaoh,
and
having
what
Pharaoh
gave
them,
they
had
no
need
to
give
up
their
land.
\VS{23}Then
Joseph
said
to
the
people,
I
have
made
you
and
your
land
this
day
the property
of
Pharaoh;
here
is
seed
for
you
to put
in
your
fields.
\VS{24}And
when
the
grain
is cut,
you
are
to
give
a
fifth
part
to
Pharaoh,
and
four
parts
will
be
yours
for
seed
and
food,
and
for
your
families
and
your
little
ones.
\VS{25}And
they
said
to
him, Truly
you
have kept
us
from death;
may
we
have
grace
in
your
eyes,
and
we
will
be Pharaoh's
servants.
\VS{26}Then
Joseph
made
a law
which
is
in force
to
this
day,
that
Pharaoh
was
to
have
the
fifth
part;
only
the
land
of
the
priests
did
not
become
his.
\VS{27}And
so
Israel
was
living
among
the
Egyptians
in
the
land
of
Goshen;
and
they got
property
there,
and became
very
great
in numbers
and
in wealth.
\VS{28}And
Jacob
was
living
in
the
land
of Goshen
for
seventeen
years;
so
the
years
of
his
life
were
a
hundred
and forty-seven.
\VS{29}And
the
time
of
his
death
came
near,
and
he
sent
for
his
son
Joseph
and
said
to
him,
If
now
I am dear
to
you,
put
your
hand
under
my leg
and
take
an oath
that
you
will
not
put
me
to rest
in
Egypt;
\VS{30}But
when
I go
to
my
fathers,
you
are
to
take
me
out
of
Egypt
and
put
me
to
rest
in
their last resting-place.
And
he
said,
I
will
do
so.
\VS{31}And
he
said,
Take
an
oath
to
me;
and
he
took
an
oath
to
him:
and
Israel
gave
worship
on
the bed's
head.

\par }\Chap{48}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
after
these
things,
word
came
to
Joseph
that
his
father
was ill:
and
he
took
with
him
his
sons
Manasseh
and
Ephraim.
\VS{2}And
when
they
said
to
Jacob,
Your
son
Joseph
is
coming
to
see
you:
then
Israel, getting
all
his
strength
together,
had
himself
lifted
up
in
his
bed.
\VS{3}And
Jacob
said
to
Joseph,
God,
the Ruler
of
all,
came
to
me
in
a
vision
at
Luz
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
and
gave
me
his
blessing,
\VS{4}And
said
to
me, Truly,
I
will
make
you
fertile
and
give
you
increase
and
will
make
of
you
a great
family
of
nations:
and
I
will
give
this
land
to
your
seed
after
you
to
be
their heritage
for
ever.
\VS{5}And
now
your
two
sons
who
came
to
birth
in
Egypt
before
I
came
to
you
here,
are mine;
Ephraim
and
Manasseh
will
be mine,
in
the same
way
as
Reuben
and
Simeon
are.
\VS{6}And
any
other
offspring
which
you
have
after
them,
will
be yours,
and
will
be
named
after
their
brothers
in
their
heritage.
\VS{7}And
as
for
me,
when
I
came
from
Paddan,
death overtook
Rachel
on
the
way,
when
we
were
still
some
distance
from
Ephrath;
and
I
put
her
to rest
there
on
the
road
to
Ephrath,
which
is Beth-lehem.
\VS{8}Then
Israel,
looking
at Joseph's
sons,
said,
Who
are
these?
\VS{9}And
Joseph
said
to
his
father,
They
are
my
sons,
whom
God
has
given
me
in
this land.
And
he
said,
Let
them
come near
me,
and
I
will
give
them
a
blessing.
\VS{10}Now
because
Israel
was old,
his
eyes
were
no
longer clear,
and
he
was
not
able
to
see.
So
he
made
them
come
near
to
him,
and
he gave
them
a kiss, folding
them
in
his arms.
\VS{11}And
Israel
said
to
Joseph,
I
had
no hope
of
seeing
your
face
again,
but
God
in
his mercy
has
let
me
see
you
and
your
children.
\VS{12}Then
Joseph
took
them
from
between
his
knees,
and
went
down
on
his
face
to
the
earth.
\VS{13}Then
taking
Ephraim
with
his
right
hand,
Joseph
put
him
at Israel's
left
side,
and
with
his
left
hand
he
put
Manasseh
at Israel's
right
side, placing
them
near
him.
\VS{14}And
Israel, stretching
out
his
right
hand,
put
it
on
the
head
of
Ephraim,
the
younger,
and
his
left
hand
on
the
head
of
Manasseh, crossing
his
hands
on purpose,
for
Manasseh
was
the older.
\VS{15}And
he
gave
Joseph
a
blessing,
saying,
May
the
God
to
whom
my
fathers,
Abraham
and
Isaac,
gave worship,
the
God
who
has taken care
of
me
all
my
life
till
this
day,
\VS{16}The
angel
who
has
been
my saviour
from
all
evil, send
his
blessing
on
these
children:
and
let
my
name
and
the
name
of
my
fathers,
Abraham
and
Isaac,
be
given
to
them;
and
let
them
become
a
great nation
in
the
earth.
\VS{17}Now
when
Joseph
saw
that
his
father
had
put
his
right
hand
on
the
head
of
Ephraim,
it did
not
seem
right
to
him;
and lifting
his father's
hand
he
would
have
put
it
on
the
head
of
Manasseh.
\VS{18}And
Joseph
said
to
his
father,
Not
so,
my
father,
for
this
is
the older;
put
your
right
hand
on
his
head.
\VS{19}But
his
father
would
not,
saying,
I
am doing
it
on purpose,
my
son;
he
will
certainly
become
a
nation
and
a
great
one;
but
his
younger
brother
will
be
greater
than
he,
and
his
seed
will
become
a
great
family
of
nations.
\VS{20}So
he
gave
them
his
blessing
that
day,
saying,
You
will
be
the sign
of
blessing
in
Israel,
for
they
will
say,
May
God
make
you
like
Ephraim
and
Manasseh;
and
he
put
Ephraim
before
Manasseh.
\VS{21}Then
Israel
said
to
Joseph,
Now
my
death
is
near;
but
God
will
be
with
you, guiding
you
back
to
the
land
of
your
fathers.
\VS{22}And
I
have
given
you
more
than
your
brothers,
even Shechem
as
your heritage,
which
I
took
from
the
Amorites
with
my
sword
and
my
bow.

\par }\Chap{49}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Jacob
sent
for
his
sons,
and
said,
Come
together,
all
of
you,
so
that
I
may
give
you
news
of
your
fate
in
future
times.
\VS{2}Come near,
O
sons
of
Jacob,
and
give ear
to
the words
of
Israel
your
father.
\VS{3}Reuben,
you
are my
oldest son,
the first-fruit
of my
strength,
first
in pride
and
first
in
power:
\VS{4}But
because
you
were
uncontrolled,
the
first
place
will
not
be yours;
for
you
went
up
to
your father's
bed,
even
his bride-bed,
and
made
it unclean.
\VS{5}Simeon
and
Levi
are
brothers; deceit
and force
are their secret designs.
\VS{6}Take
no part
in
their
secrets,
O
my
soul;
keep far
away,
O
my
heart,
from
their meetings;
for
in
their
wrath
they
put
men
to
death,
and
for
their
pleasure
even
oxen
were wounded.
\VS{7}A
curse
on
their passion
for
it
was bitter;
and
on
their
wrath
for
it
was
cruel.
I
will let
their heritage
in
Jacob
be broken up, driving
them
from
their places
in
Israel.
\VS{8}To
you,
Judah,
will
your
brothers
give
praise:
your
hand
will
be
on
the
neck
of
your haters;
your father's
sons
will go
down
to
the earth before
you.
\VS{9}Judah
is
a
young
lion;
like
a
lion full
of meat
you
have become great,
my
son; now
he takes
his
rest
like
a
lion stretched
out
and
like
an
old
lion;
by
whom
will
his sleep
be broken?
\VS{10}The
rod
of
authority
will
not
be
taken
from
Judah,
and
he
will
not
be
without
a law-giver,
till
he
comes
who
has
the right
to
it,
and
the
peoples
will
put themselves
under
his rule.
\VS{11}Knotting
his ass's cord
to
the
vine,
and
his
young ass
to
the best
vine; washing
his
robe
in
wine,
and
his
clothing
in
the
blood
of
grapes:
\VS{12}His
eyes
will
be dark
with
wine,
and
his
teeth
white
with
milk.
\VS{13}The resting-place
of
Zebulun
will
be
by
the
sea,
and
he
will
be
a harbour
for
ships;
the edge
of
his land
will
be
by Zidon.
\VS{14}Issachar
is
a
strong ass stretched out
among
the flocks:
\VS{15}And
he
saw
that
rest
was
good
and
the
land
was pleasing;
so
he
let
them put weights
on
his
back
and
became
a
servant.
\VS{16}Dan
will
be
the
judge
of
his
people,
as
one
of
the
tribes
of
Israel.
\VS{17}May
Dan
be
a
snake
in
the
way,
a
horned
snake
by
the
road, biting
the horse's foot
so
that
the
horseman
has
a
fall.
\VS{18}I
have
been waiting
for
your
salvation,
O
Lord.
\VS{19}Gad, an army
will come against
him,
but
he
will come down on
them
in their flight.
\VS{20}Asher's
bread
is fat;
he
gives delicate
food
for
kings.
\VS{21}Naphtali
is
a roe
let
loose,
giving fair young ones.
\VS{22}Joseph
is
a
young ox,
whose steps
are turned
to
the fountain;
\VS{23}He was
troubled
by the archers; they sent out their
arrows
against him, cruelly wounding him:
\VS{24}But
their
bows
were broken
by
a strong
one,
and
the cords
of
their
arms
were cut
by
the
Strength
of
Jacob,
by
the name
of
the
Stone
of
Israel:
\VS{25}Even
by
the
God
of
your
father,
who
will
be
your
help,
and
by
the Ruler
of
all,
who
will make
you full
with
blessings
from
heaven
on high,
blessings
of
the
deep stretched
out
under
the
earth,
blessings
of
the
breasts
and
of
the fertile body:
\VS{26}Blessings
of
sons,
old
and young,
to
the
father:
blessings
of
the oldest
mountains
and
the fruit
of
the
eternal
hills:
let
them
come
on
the
head
of
Joseph,
on
the
crown
of
him
who
was separate
from
his
brothers.
\VS{27}Benjamin
is
a
wolf, searching
for meat:
in
the
morning
he takes
his
food,
and
in
the
evening
he makes division
of what
he
has taken.
\VS{28}These
are
the
twelve
tribes
of
Israel:
and
these
are
the words
their
father
said
to
them,
blessing
them;
to
every
one
he gave
his
blessing.
\VS{29}And
he
gave
orders
to
them,
saying,
Put
me
to rest
with
my
people
and
with
my
fathers,
in
the hollow
of
the rock
in
the
field
of
Ephron
the
Hittite,
\VS{30}In
the rock
in
the
field
of
Machpelah,
near
Mamre
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
which
Abraham got
from
Ephron
the
Hittite,
to
be
his resting-place.
\VS{31}There
Abraham
and
Sarah
his
wife
were put
to rest,
and
there
they put
Isaac
and
Rebekah
his
wife,
and
there
I put
Leah
to rest.
\VS{32}In
the rock
in
the
field
which
was got
for
a price
from
the
people
of
Heth.
\VS{33}And
when
Jacob
had
come
to
the
end
of
these words
to
his
sons, stretching
himself
on
his
bed,
he
gave
up
his spirit,
and
went
the way
of
his
people.

\par }\Chap{50}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Joseph put
his
head
down
on
his father's
face,
weeping
and kissing
him.
\VS{2}And
Joseph
gave
orders
to
his
servants
who
had
the necessary knowledge,
to make
his father's body ready, folding
it
in linen
with spices,
and
they did
so.
\VS{3}And
the
forty
days needed
for making
the body ready went
by:
and there
was
weeping
for
him among
the
Egyptians
for
seventy
days.
\VS{4}And
when
the
days
of weeping
for
him
were past,
Joseph
said
to
the servants
of
Pharaoh,
If
now
you
have love
for
me,
say
these words
to
Pharaoh:
\VS{5}My
father
made
me
take
an
oath,
saying,
When
I
am
dead,
put
me
to rest
in
the
place
I
have
made
ready
for
myself
in
the
land
of
Canaan.
So
now
let
me
go
and
put
my
father
in
his last resting-place,
and
I
will
come
back
again.
\VS{6}And
Pharaoh
said,
Go
up
and
put
your
father
to rest,
as
you
gave
your
oath
to
him.
\VS{7}So
Joseph
went
up
to
put
his
father
in
his last resting-place;
and
with
him
went
all
the
servants
of
Pharaoh,
and
the chief
men
of
his
house
and
all
the chiefs
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
\VS{8}And
all
the
family
of
Joseph,
and
his
brothers
and
his father's
people:
only
their
little
ones
and
their
flocks
and
herds
they
did
not take
with
them
from
the
land
of
Goshen.
\VS{9}And carriages
went
up
with
him
and
horsemen,
a
great
army.
\VS{10}And
they
came
to
the grain-floor
of
Atad
on
the
other
side
of
Jordan,
and
there
they
gave
the last honours
to
Jacob,
with
great
and bitter
sorrow, weeping
for
their
father
for
seven
days.
\VS{11}And
when
the
people
of
the
land,
the
people
of Canaan,
at
the grain-floor
of
Atad,
saw
their grief,
they
said,
Great
is
the grief
of
the
Egyptians:
so
the
place
was
named
Abel-mizraim,
on
the
other
side
of
Jordan.
\VS{12}So
his
sons
did
as
he
had
given
them
orders
to
do:
\VS{13}For
they
took
him
into
the
land
of
Canaan
and
put
him
to rest
in
the hollow rock
in
the
field
of
Machpelah,
which
Abraham got
with
the
field,
for
a resting-place,
from
Ephron
the
Hittite
at
Mamre.
\VS{14}And
when
his
father
had
been
put
to rest,
Joseph
and
his
brothers
and
all
who
had
gone
with
him,
went
back
to
Egypt.
\VS{15}Now
after
the
death
of
their
father, Joseph's
brothers
said
to
themselves,
It
may
be
that Joseph's heart
will
be
turned
against
us,
and
he
will
give
us punishment
for
all
the
evil
which
we
did
to
him.
\VS{16}So
they
sent
word
to
Joseph,
saying,
Your
father,
before
his
death,
gave
us
orders,
saying,
\VS{17}You
are
to
say
to
Joseph,
Let
the wrongdoing
of
your
brothers
be overlooked,
and
the
evil
they
did
to
you:
now,
if
it
is
your pleasure,
let
the
sin
of
the
servants
of
your father's
God
have forgiveness.
And
at
these words,
Joseph
was overcome
with
weeping.
\VS{18}Then
his
brothers
went,
and
falling
at
his feet,
said,
Truly, we
are
your
servants.
\VS{19}And
Joseph
said,
Have
no
fear:
am
I
in
the
place
of
God?
\VS{20}As
for
you,
it
was
in
your mind
to
do
me
evil,
but
God
has given
a
happy outcome,
the salvation
of numbers
of
people,
as
you see
today.
\VS{21}So
now,
have
no
fear:
for
I
will take
care
of
you
and
your
little
ones.
So
he gave
them
comfort
with kind words.
\VS{22}Now
Joseph
and all
his father's
family
went
on
living
in
Egypt:
and
the
years
of Joseph's
life
were
a
hundred
and
ten.
\VS{23}And
Joseph
saw Ephraim's
children
of
the
third
generation:
and
the
children
of
Machir,
the
son
of
Manasseh, came
to
birth
on Joseph's
knees.
\VS{24}Then
Joseph
said
to
his
brothers,
The time
of
my
death
has
come;
but
God
will keep
you
in mind
and
take
you
out
of
this
land
into
the
land
which
he
gave
by
his
oath
to
Abraham
and
Isaac
and
Jacob.
\VS{25}Then
Joseph
made
the
children
of
Israel
take
an
oath,
saying,
God
will certainly
give effect
to
his
word,
and
you
are
to
take
my
bones
away
from
here.
\VS{26}So
Joseph
came
to
his
death,
being
a
hundred
and
ten
years
old:
and
they made
his
body ready,
and
he
was
put
in
a
chest
in
Egypt.
