the
beginning
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:1 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
created
the
heavens
and
the
earth.
\VS{2}And
the
earth
was
waste
and
empty,
and
darkness
was
on
the
face
of
the
deep,
and
the
Spirit
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:2 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
was
hovering
over
the
face
of
the
waters.
\VS{3}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:3 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
said,
Let
there
be
light.
And
there
was
light.
\VS{4}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:4 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
saw
the
light
that
it
was
good;
and
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:4 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
divided
between
the
light
and
the
darkness.
\VS{5}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:5 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
called
the
light
Day,
and
the
darkness
he
called
Night.
And
there
was
evening,
and
there
was
morning —
the
first
day.
\VS{6}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:6 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
said,
Let
there
be
an
expanse
in
the
midst
of
the
waters,
and
let
it
be
a division
between
waters
and
waters.
\VS{7}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:7 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
made
the
expanse,
and
divided
between
the
waters
that
are
under
the
expanse
and
the
waters
that
are
above
the
expanse;
and
it
was
so.
\VS{8}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:8 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
called
the
expanse
Heavens.
And
there
was
evening,
and
there
was
morning —
a
second
day.
\VS{9}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:9 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
said,
Let
the
waters
under
the
heavens
be
gathered
together
to
one
place,
and
let
the
dry [land]
appear.
And
it
was
so.
\VS{10}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:10 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
called
the
dry [land]
Earth,
and
the
gathering
together
of
the
waters
he
called
Seas.
And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:10 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
saw
that
it
was
good.
\VS{11}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:11 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
said,
Let
the
earth
cause
grass
to spring
up,
herb producing
seed, fruit-trees
yielding
fruit
after
their
kind,
the
seed
of
which
is
in
them,
on
the
earth.
And
it
was
so.
\VS{12}And
the
earth
brought
forth
grass,
herb producing
seed
after
its
kind,
and
trees
yielding
fruit,
the
seed
of
which
is
in
them,
after
their
kind.
And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:12 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
saw
that
it
was
good.
\VS{13}And
there
was
evening,
and
there
was
morning —
a
third
day.
\VS{14}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:14 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
said,
Let
there
be
lights
in
the
expanse
of
the
heavens,
to
divide
between
the
day
and
the
night;
and
let
them
be
for
signs,
and
for
seasons,
and
for
days
and
years;
\VS{15}and
let
them
be
for
lights
in
the
expanse
of
the
heavens,
to
give
light
on
the
earth.
And
it
was
so.
\VS{16}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:16 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
made
the
two
great
lights,
the
great
light
to
rule
the
day,
and
the
small
light
to
rule
the
night, —
and
the
stars.
\VS{17}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:17 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
set
them
in
the
expanse
of
the
heavens,
to
give
light
on
the
earth,
\VS{18}and
to
rule
during
the
day
and
during
the
night,
and
to
divide
between
the
light
and
the
darkness.
And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:18 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
saw
that
it
was
good.
\VS{19}And
there
was
evening,
and
there
was
morning —
a
fourth
day.
\VS{20}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:20 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
said,
Let
the
waters
swarm
with
swarms
of
living
souls,
and
let
fowl
fly
above
the
earth
in
the
expanse
of
the
heavens.
\VS{21}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:21 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
created
the
great
sea
monsters,
and
every
living
soul
that
moves
with
which
the
waters
swarm,
after
their
kind,
and
every
winged
fowl
after
its
kind.
And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:21 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
saw
that
it
was
good.
\VS{22}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:22 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
blessed
them,
saying,
Be
fruitful
and
multiply,
and
fill
the
waters
in
the
seas,
and let
fowl
multiply
on
the
earth.
\VS{23}And
there
was
evening,
and
there
was
morning —
a
fifth
day.
\VS{24}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:24 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
said,
Let
the
earth
bring
forth
living
souls
after
their
kind,
cattle,
and
creeping
thing,
and
beast
of
the
earth,
after
their
kind.
And
it
was
so.
\VS{25}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:25 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
made
the
beast
of
the
earth
after
its
kind,
and
the
cattle
after
their
kind,
and
every
creeping
thing
of
the
ground
after
its
kind.
And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:25 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
saw
that
it
was
good.
\VS{26}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:26 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
said, Let
us
make
man
in
our
image,
after
our
likeness;
and let
them
have
dominion
over
the
fish
of
the
sea,
and
over
the
fowl
of
the
heavens,
and
over
the
cattle,
and
over
the
whole
earth,
and
over
every
creeping
thing
that creepeth
on
the
earth.
\VS{27}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:27 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
created
Man
in
his
image,
in
the
image
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:27 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
created
he
him;
male
and
female
created
he
them.
\VS{28}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:28 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
blessed
them;
and
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:28 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
said
to
them,
Be
fruitful
and
multiply,
and
fill
the
earth,
and
subdue
it;
and
have
dominion
over
the
fish
of
the
sea,
and
over
the
fowl
of
the
heavens,
and
over
every
animal
that moveth
on
the
earth.
\VS{29}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:29 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
said,
Behold,
I
have
given
you
every
herb producing
seed
that
is
on
the
whole
earth,
and
every
tree
in
which
is
the
fruit
of
a
tree producing
seed:
it
shall
be
food
for
you;
\VS{30}and
to
every
animal
of
the
earth,
and
to
every
fowl
of
the
heavens,
and
to
everything
that creepeth
on
the
earth,
in
which
is
a
living
soul,
every
green
herb
for
food.
And
it
was
so.
\VS{31}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:31 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
saw
everything
that
he
had
made,
and
behold
it
was
very
good.
And
there
was
evening,
and
there
was
morning —
the
sixth
day.

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
heavens
and
the
earth
and
all
their
host
were
finished.
\VS{2}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:2 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
had
finished
on
the
seventh
day
his
work
which
he
had
made;
and
he
rested
on
the
seventh
day
from
all
his
work
which
he
had
made.
\VS{3}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:3 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
blessed
the
seventh
day,
and hallowed
it,
because
that
on
it
he
rested
from
all
his
work
which
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:3 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
had
created
in
making
it.
\VS{4}These
are
the histories
of
the
heavens
and
the
earth,
when
they
were
created,
in
the
day
that
Jehovah
Elohim
made
earth
and
heavens,
\VS{5}and
every
shrub
of
the
field
before
it
was
in
the
earth,
and
every
herb
of
the
field
before
it grew;
for
Jehovah
Elohim
had
not
caused
it
to
rain
on
the
earth,
and
there
was
no
man
to
till
the
ground.
\VS{6}But
a
mist
went
up
from
the
earth,
and moistened
the
whole
surface
of
the
ground.
\VS{7}And
Jehovah
Elohim
formed
Man,
dust
of
the
ground,
and
breathed
into
his
nostrils
the
breath
of
life;
and
Man
became
a
living
soul.
\VS{8}And
Jehovah
Elohim
planted
a
garden
in
Eden
eastward,
and
there
put
Man
whom
he
had
formed.
\VS{9}And
out
of
the
ground
Jehovah
Elohim
made
every
tree
grow
that
is
pleasant
to
the
sight,
and
good
for
food;
and
the
tree
of
life,
in
the
midst
of
the
garden,
and
the
tree
of
the
knowledge
of
good
and
evil.
\VS{10}And
a
river
went
out
of
Eden,
to
water
the
garden;
and
from thence
it
was
parted,
and
became
four main
streams.
\VS{11}The
name
of
the
one
is Pison:
that
is
it
which
surrounds
the
whole
land
of
Havilah,
where
the
gold
is.
\VS{12}And
the
gold
of
that
land
is
good;
bdellium
and
the
onyx
stone
are
there.
\VS{13}And
the
name
of
the
second
river
is
Gihon:
that
is
it
which
surrounds
the
whole
land
of
Cush.
\VS{14}And
the
name
of
the
third
river
is Hiddekel:
that
is
it
which
flows
forward
toward
Asshur.
And
the
fourth
river,
that
is
Euphrates.
\VS{15}And
Jehovah
Elohim
took
Man,
and
put
him
into
the
garden
of
Eden,
to
till
it
and
to
guard
it.
\VS{16}And
Jehovah
Elohim
commanded
Man,
saying,
Of
every
tree
of
the
garden thou shalt
freely
eat;
\VS{17}but
of
the
tree
of
the
knowledge
of
good
and
evil, thou shalt
not
eat
of
it;
for
in
the
day
that thou eatest
of
it thou shalt
certainly
die.
\VS{18}And
Jehovah
Elohim
said,
It
is
not
good
that
Man
should
be
alone;
I
will
make
him
a helpmate,
his
like.
\VS{19}And
out
of
the
ground
Jehovah
Elohim
had
formed
every
animal
of
the
field
and
all
fowl
of
the
heavens,
and
brought [them]
to
Man,
to
see
what
he
would
call
them;
and
whatever
Man
called
each
living
soul,
that
was
its
name.
\VS{20}And
Man
gave
names
to
all
cattle,
and
to
the
fowl
of
the
heavens,
and
to
every
beast
of
the
field;
but
as
for Adam,
he
found
no helpmate,
his
like.
\VS{21}And
Jehovah
Elohim
caused
a
deep
sleep
to
fall
upon
Man;
and
he
slept.
And
he
took
one
of
his
ribs
and
closed
up
flesh
in
its
stead.
\VS{22}And
Jehovah
Elohim
built
the
rib
that
he
had
taken
from
Man
into
a
woman;
and
brought
her
to
Man.
\VS{23}And
Man
said,
This
time
it
is
bone
of
my
bones
and
flesh
of
my
flesh:
this
shall
be
called
Woman,
because
this
was
taken
out
of
a
man.
\VS{24}Therefore
shall
a
man
leave
his
father
and
his
mother,
and cleave
to
his
wife;
and
they
shall
become
one
flesh.
\VS{25}And
they
were
both
naked,
Man
and
his
wife,
and
were
not
ashamed.

\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
serpent
was
more
crafty
than
any
animal
of
the
field
which
Jehovah
Elohim
had
made.
And
it
said
to
the
woman,
Is
it
even
so,
that
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:1 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
has
said, Ye
shall
not
eat
of
every
tree
of
the
garden?
\VS{2}And
the
woman
said
to
the
serpent, We
may
eat
of
the
fruit
of
the
trees
of
the
garden;
\VS{3}but
of
the
fruit
of
the
tree
that
is
in
the
midst
of
the
garden,
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:3 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
has
said, Ye
shall
not
eat
of
it,
and ye
shall
not
touch
it,
lest ye
die.
\VS{4}And
the
serpent
said
to
the
woman, Ye
will
not
certainly
die;
\VS{5}but
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:5 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
knows
that
in
the
day ye
eat
of
it,
your
eyes
will
be
opened,
and ye
will
be
as
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:5 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
knowing
good
and
evil.
\VS{6}And
the
woman
saw
that
the
tree
was
good
for
food,
and
that
it
was
a
pleasure
for
the
eyes,
and
the
tree
was
to
be
desired
to
give intelligence;
and
she
took
of
its
fruit,
and
ate,
and
gave
also
to
her
husband
with
her,
and
he
ate.
\VS{7}And
the
eyes
of
them
both
were
opened,
and
they
knew
that
they
were
naked.
And
they
sewed fig-leaves
together,
and
made
themselves aprons.
\VS{8}And
they
heard
the
voice
of
Jehovah
Elohim,
walking
in
the
garden
in
the
cool
of
the
day.
And
Man
and
his
wife
hid
themselves
from
the
presence
of
Jehovah
Elohim,
in
the
midst
of
the
trees
of
the
garden.
\VS{9}And
Jehovah
Elohim
called
to
Man,
and
said
to
him,
Where art thou?
\VS{10}And
he
said,
I
heard thy
voice
in
the
garden,
and
I
feared,
because
I
am
naked;
and
I
hid
myself.
\VS{11}And
he
said,
Who
told thee
that thou art
naked? Hast thou
eaten
of
the
tree
of
which
I
commanded thee
not
to
eat?
\VS{12}And
Man
said,
The
woman,
whom thou hast
given [to
be]
with
me,
she
gave
me
of
the
tree,
and
I
ate.
\VS{13}And
Jehovah
Elohim
said
to
the
woman,
What
is
this thou hast
done?
And
the
woman
said,
The
serpent deceived
me,
and
I
ate.
\VS{14}And
Jehovah
Elohim
said
to
the
serpent,
Because thou hast
done
this,
be thou
cursed
above
all
cattle,
and
above
every
beast
of
the
field.
On thy
belly shalt thou go,
and
eat
dust
all
the
days
of thy
life.
\VS{15}And I
will
put
enmity
between thee
and
the
woman,
and
between thy
seed
and
her
seed;
he
shall crush thy
head,
and thou shalt crush
his
heel.
\VS{16}To
the
woman
he
said,
I
will
greatly
increase thy travail
and thy pregnancy;
with
pain thou shalt
bear
children;
and
to thy
husband
shall
be thy
desire,
and
he
shall
rule
over thee.
\VS{17}And
to
Adam
he
said,
Because thou hast hearkened
to
the
voice
of thy
wife,
and
eaten
of
the
tree
of
which
I
commanded thee
saying, Thou shalt
not
eat
of
it:
cursed
be
the
ground
on thy
account;
with
toil shalt thou
eat [of]
it
all
the
days
of thy
life;
\VS{18}and
thorns
and
thistles
shall
it yield thee;
and thou shalt
eat
the
herb
of
the
field.
\VS{19}In
the
sweat
of thy
face shalt thou
eat
bread,
until thou
return
to
the
ground:
for
out
of
it wast thou
taken.
For
dust thou art;
and unto
dust shalt thou
return.
\VS{20}And
Man
called
his wife's
name
Eve;
because
she
is
the
mother
of
all
living.
\VS{21}And
Jehovah
Elohim
made Adam
and
his
wife coats
of
skin,
and
clothed
them.
\VS{22}And
Jehovah
Elohim
said,
Behold,
Man
is
become
as
one
of
us,
to
know
good
and
evil.
And
now,
lest
he
stretch
out
his
hand,
and
take
also
of
the
tree
of
life,
and
eat,
and
live
for
ever...!
\VS{23}Therefore
Jehovah
Elohim
sent
him
forth
from
the
garden
of
Eden,
to
till
the
ground
from
which
he
was
taken.
\VS{24}And
he
drove
out
Man;
and
he
set
the
Cherubim,
and
the flame
of
the flashing
sword,
toward
the
east
of
the
garden
of
Eden,
to
guard
the
way
to
the
tree
of
life.

\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Man
knew
Eve
his
wife;
and she
conceived,
and
bore
Cain,
and
said,
I
have
acquired
a
man
with
Jehovah.
\VS{2}And she
further
bore
his
brother
Abel.
And
Abel
was
a
shepherd,
but
Cain
was
a husbandman.
\VS{3}And
in process
of
time
it
came
to
pass
that
Cain
brought
of
the
fruit
of
the
ground
an
offering
to
Jehovah.
\VS{4}And
Abel,
he
also
brought
of
the firstlings
of
his
flock,
and
of
their
fat.
And
Jehovah
looked
upon
Abel,
and
on
his
offering;
\VS{5}and
upon
Cain,
and
on
his
offering,
he
did
not
look.
And
Cain
was
very
angry,
and
his
countenance
fell.
\VS{6}And
Jehovah
said
to
Cain,
Why art thou
angry,
and
why
is thy
countenance
fallen?
\VS{7}If thou doest
well,
will
not [thy countenance] look
up [with confidence]?
and
if thou doest
not
well,
sin lieth
at
the
door;
and unto thee [shall
be]
his
desire,
and thou shalt
rule
over
him.
\VS{8}And
Cain
spoke
to
Abel
his
brother,
and
it
came
to
pass
when
they
were
in
the
field,
that
Cain
rose
up
against
Abel
his
brother,
and
slew
him.
\VS{9}And
Jehovah
said
to
Cain,
Where
is
Abel thy
brother?
And
he
said,
I
know
not:
am
I
my brother's
keeper?
\VS{10}And
he
said,
What hast thou
done?
the
voice
of thy brother's
blood
is
crying
to
me
from
the
ground.
\VS{11}And
now
be thou
cursed
from
the
ground,
which hath
opened
its
mouth
to
receive thy brother's
blood
from thy
hand.
\VS{12}When thou tillest
the
ground,
it
shall
not henceforth
yield thee
its
strength;
a
wanderer
and fugitive shalt thou
be
on
the
earth.
\VS{13}And
Cain
said
to
Jehovah,
My
punishment
is too
great
to
be
borne.
\VS{14}Behold, thou hast
driven
me
this
day
from
the
face
of
the
ground,
and
from thy
face
shall
I
be
hid;
and
I
shall
be
a
wanderer
and fugitive
on
the
earth;
and
it
will
come
to
pass, [that]
every
one
who
finds
me
will
slay
me.
\VS{15}And
Jehovah
said
to
him,
Therefore,
whoever slayeth
Cain,
it
shall
be revenged
sevenfold.
And
Jehovah
set
a
mark
on
Cain, lest
any
finding
him
should
smite
him.
\VS{16}And
Cain
went
out
from
the
presence
of
Jehovah,
and
dwelt
in
the
land
of
Nod,
toward
the
east
of
Eden.
\VS{17}And
Cain
knew
his
wife,
and
she
conceived
and
bore
Enoch.
And
he
built
a
city;
and
he
called
the
name
of
the
city
after
the
name
of
his
son
Enoch.
\VS{18}And
to
Enoch
was
born
Irad;
and
Irad
begot
Mehujael;
and
Mehujael
begot
Methushael;
and
Methushael
begot Lemech.
\VS{19}And Lemech
took
two
wives:
the
name
of
the
one
was
Adah,
and
the
name
of
the
second,
Zillah.
\VS{20}And
Adah
bore
Jabal:
he
was
the
father
of
those
who
dwell
in
tents,
and [breed]
cattle.
\VS{21}And
his brother's
name
was
Jubal:
he
was
the
father
of
those
who
handle
the
harp
and
pipe.
\VS{22}And
Zillah,
she
also
bore
Tubal-Cain,
the
forger
of
every kind
of tool
of
brass
and
iron.
And
the
sister
of
Tubal-Cain
was
Naamah.
\VS{23}And Lemech
said
to
his
wives:
Adah
and
Zillah,
hear
my
voice, Ye
wives
of Lemech,
listen
to
my speech.
For
I
have
slain
a
man
for
my
wound,
and
a
youth
for
my
bruise.
\VS{24}If
Cain shall
be
avenged seven-fold; Lemech
seventy
and
seven fold.
\VS{25}And
Adam
knew
his
wife
again,
and
she
bore
a
son,
and
called
his
name
Seth: ...For
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:25 }

Abel,

to
Seth,

looked
upon

flesh
had
corrupted
its
way
on
the
earth.

through

\VS{14}Make thyself an
ark
of
gopher
wood: [with] cells shalt thou
make
the
ark;
and
pitch
it
inside
and
outside
with
pitch.

thus shalt thou
make
it: let
the
length
of
the
ark be
three
hundred
cubits,
the
breadth
of
it
fifty
cubits,
and
the
height

it
thirty

make
to

high shalt thou
finish

the
door

the
ark shalt thou
set
in
its
side: [with]
a
lower,

make
it.

I,
behold,
I
bring
a

on

to
destroy
all

under

in

is
the

shall
expire.

with thee
will
I
establish
my

go
into

and thy sons'

with thee.
\VS{19}And
of
every
living

of
all

two

bring

\VS{9}But
the
dove
found
no resting-place
for
the
sole
of
her
foot,
and
returned
to
him
into
the
ark;
for
the
waters
were
on
the
whole
earth;
and
he
put
forth
his
hand,
and
took
her,
and
brought
her
to
him
into
the
ark.
\VS{10}And
he waited
yet
other
seven
days,
and
again
he
sent
forth
the
dove
out
of
the
ark.
\VS{11}And
the
dove
came
to
him
at eventide;
and
behold,
in
her
beak
was
an olive-leaf
plucked
off;
and
Noah
knew
that
the
waters
had become
low
on
the
earth.
\VS{12}And
he
waited
yet
other
seven
days,
and
sent
forth
the
dove;
but
she
returned
no
more
to
him.
\VS{13}And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
six
hundred

first

in
the
first [month],
on
the
first
of
the

that
the

were dried
up
from

And
Noah
removed
the
covering
of

looked,

behold,
the

was dried.
\VS{14}And
in

second

the

was
dry.

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
spoke
to

saying,
\VS{16}Go
out
of

went
out,

went
out

Noah
built
an
altar
to
Jehovah;

took
of
every
clean
animal,

of
all
clean
fowl,
and
offered
up burnt-offerings
on
the
altar.
\VS{21}And
Jehovah
smelled
the sweet odour.
And
Jehovah
said
in
his
heart,
I
will
no
more henceforth
curse
the
ground
on
account
of
Man,
for
the
thought
of Man's
heart
is
evil
from
his

I
will
no

smite
every

as
I
have
done.
\VS{22}Henceforth,

Lot
his brother's
son,
and
all
their
possessions
that
they
had
acquired,
and
the
souls
that
they
had obtained
in
Haran,
and
they
went
out
to
go
into
the
land
of
Canaan;
and
into
the
land
of
Canaan
they
came.
\VS{6}And
Abram
passed
through
the
land
to
the
place
of
Shechem,
to
the
oak
of
Moreh.
And
the
Canaanite
was
then
in
the
land.
\VS{7}And
Jehovah
appeared
to
Abram,
and
said, Unto thy
seed
will
I
give
this
land.
And
there
he
built
an
altar
to
Jehovah
who
had
appeared
to
him.
\VS{8}And
he removed thence towards
the
mountain
on
the
east
of
Bethel,
and
pitched
his
tent, [having]
Bethel
toward
the
west,
and
Ai
toward
the
east;
and
there
he
built
an
altar
to
Jehovah,
and
called
on
the
name
of
Jehovah.
\VS{9}And
Abram
moved onward,
going
on still
toward
the
south.
\VS{10}And
there
was
a
famine
in
the
land.
And
Abram
went
down
to
Egypt
to sojourn
there,
for
the
famine
was
grievous
in
the
land.
\VS{11}And
it
came
to
pass
when
he
was
come
near
to
enter
into
Egypt,
that
he
said
to
Sarai
his
wife,
Behold
now,
I
know
that thou art
a
woman
fair
to
look
upon.
\VS{12}And
it
will
come
to
pass
when
the
Egyptians
see thee,
that
they
will
say,
She
is
his
wife;
and
they
will
slay
me,
and save thee
alive.
\VS{13}Say,
I
pray thee, thou art
my
sister,
that
it
may
be
well
with
me on thy
account,
and
my
soul
may
live
because
of thee.
\VS{14}And
it
came
to
pass
when
Abram
came
into
Egypt,
that
the
Egyptians beheld
the
woman
that
she
was
very
fair.
\VS{15}And
the
princes
of
Pharaoh
saw
her,
and
praised
her
to
Pharaoh;
and
the
woman
was
taken
into Pharaoh's
house.
\VS{16}And
he
treated
Abram
well
on
her
account;
and
he
had
sheep,
and
oxen,
and he-asses,
and bondmen,
and bondwomen,
and she-asses,
and
camels.
\VS{17}And
Jehovah
plagued
Pharaoh
and
his
house
with
great
plagues
because
of
Sarai Abram's
wife.
\VS{18}And
Pharaoh
called
Abram,
and
said,
What
is
this thou hast
done
to
me?
Why didst thou
not
tell
me
that
she
was thy
wife?
\VS{19}Why didst thou
say,
She
is
my
sister,
so
that
I
took
her
as
my
wife.
And
now,
behold,
there
is thy
wife:
take [her],
and
go
away.
\VS{20}And
Pharaoh
commanded [his]
men
concerning
him,
and
they
sent
him
away,
and
his
wife,
and
all
that
he
had.

\par }\Chap{13}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Abram
went
up
out
of
Egypt,
he,
and
his
wife,
and
all
that
he
had,
and
Lot
with
him, towards
the
south.
\VS{2}And
Abram
was
very
rich
in
cattle,
in
silver,
and
in
gold.
\VS{3}And
he
went
on
his
journeys
from
the
south
as
far
as
Bethel;
as
far
as
the
place
where
his
tent
had
been
at
the
beginning,
between
Bethel
and
Ai;
\VS{4}to
the
place
of
the
altar
that
he
had
made
there
at
the
first.
And
there
Abram
called
on
the
name
of
Jehovah.
\VS{5}And
Lot
also
who
went
with
Abram
had
flocks,
and
herds,
and
tents.
\VS{6}And
the
land
could
not
support
them,
that
they might
dwell
together,
for
their
property
was
great;
and
they
could
not
dwell
together.
\VS{7}And
there
was
strife
between
the
herdsmen
of Abram's
cattle
and
the
herdsmen
of Lot's
cattle.
And
the
Canaanite
and
the
Perizzite
were
dwelling
then
in
the
land.
\VS{8}And
Abram
said
to
Lot,
I
pray thee
let
there
be
no contention
between
me
and thee,
and
between
my
herdsmen
and thy
herdsmen,
for
we
are
brethren.
\VS{9}Is
not
the
whole
land
before thee?
Separate thyself,
I
pray thee,
from
me:
if
to
the
left,
then
I
will take
the
right;
and
if
to
the
right,
then
I
will take
the
left.
\VS{10}And
Lot
lifted
up
his
eyes,
and beheld
all
the
plain
of
the
Jordan
that
it
was thoroughly watered,
before
Jehovah
had
destroyed
Sodom
and
Gomorrah;
as
the
garden
of
Jehovah,
like
the
land
of
Egypt,
as
one
goes
to
Zoar.
\VS{11}And
Lot
chose
for
himself
all
the
plain
of
the
Jordan;
and
Lot
went
toward
the
east.
And
they
separated
the
one
from
the
other:
\VS{12}Abram
dwelt
in
the
land
of
Canaan;
and
Lot
dwelt
in
the
cities
of
the
plain,
and pitched
tents
as
far
as
Sodom.
\VS{13}And
the
people
of
Sodom
were
wicked,
and
great
sinners before
Jehovah.
\VS{14}And
Jehovah
said
to
Abram,
after
that
Lot
had
separated
himself
from
him,
Lift
up
now thine
eyes,
and
look
from
the
place
where thou art,
northward
and
southward
and
eastward
and
westward;
\VS{15}for
all
the
land
that thou seest
will
I
give
to thee,
and
to thy
seed
for
ever.
\VS{16}And
I
will
make thy
seed
as
the
dust
of
the
earth,
so
that
if
any
one
can
number
the
dust
of
the
earth, thy
seed
also
will
be
numbered.
\VS{17}Arise,
walk
through
the
land according
to
the
length
of
it
and according
to
the
breadth
of
it;
for
I
will
give
it
to thee.
\VS{18}Then
Abram
moved [his]
tents,
and
came
and
dwelt
by
the
oaks
of
Mamre,
which
are
in

built
there
an

Fear
not,

am thy

exceeding
great
reward.

and
will
very
greatly
multiply thee.
\VS{3}And
Abram
fell
on
his
face;
and
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 17:3 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
talked
with
him,
saying,
\VS{4}It
is
I:
behold,
my
covenant
is
with thee,
and thou shalt
be
a
father
of
a
multitude
of
nations.
\VS{5}And thy
name
shall
no
more
be
called
Abram,
but thy
name
shall
be
Abraham;
for
a
father
of
a
multitude
of
nations
have
I
made thee.
\VS{6}And
I
will
make thee
exceedingly
fruitful,
and
I
will
make
nations
of thee,
and
kings
shall
come
out
of thee.
\VS{7}And
I
will
establish
my
covenant
between
me
and thee,
and thy
seed
after thee
in
their
generations,
for
an
everlasting
covenant,
to
be
a
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 17:7 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
to thee,
and
to thy
seed
after thee.
\VS{8}And
I
give
to thee,
and
to thy
seed
after thee,
the
land
of thy
sojourning,
all
the
land
of
Canaan,
for
an
everlasting
possession;
and
I
will
be
a
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 17:8 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
to
them.
\VS{9}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 17:9 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
said
to
Abraham,
And [as
for] thee, thou shalt
keep
my
covenant, thou
and thy
seed
after thee
in
their
generations.
\VS{10}This
is
my
covenant
which ye
shall
keep,
between
me
and
you
and thy
seed
after thee —
that
every
male
among
you
be
circumcised.
\VS{11}And ye
shall circumcise
the
flesh
of
your
foreskin;
and [that]
shall
be
a
sign
of
the
covenant
between
me
and
you.
\VS{12}And
at
eight
days
old
shall
every
male
in
your
generations
be
circumcised
among
you —
he
who
is
born
in
the
house,
and
he
who
is
bought
with
money,
any stranger
who
is
not
of thy
seed.
\VS{13}He
who
is
born
in thy
house,
and
he
who
is
bought
with thy
money, must
be
circumcised;
and
my
covenant
shall
be
in
your
flesh
for
an
everlasting
covenant.
\VS{14}And
the
uncircumcised
male
who hath
not
been
circumcised
in
the
flesh
of
his
foreskin,
that
soul
shall
be
cut
off
from
his
peoples:
he hath
broken
my
covenant.
\VS{15}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 17:15 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
said
to
Abraham, [As
to]
Sarai thy
wife, thou shalt
not
call
her
name
Sarai,
but
Sarah
shall
be
her
name.
\VS{16}And
I
will
bless
her,
and
I
will
give thee
a
son
also
of
her;
and
I
will
bless
her,
and
she
shall
become
nations:
kings
of
peoples
shall
be
of
her.
\VS{17}And
Abraham
fell
on
his
face
and
laughed,
and
said
in
his
heart,
Shall [a
child]
be
born
to
him
that
is
a
hundred
years
old?
and
shall
Sarah,
who
is
ninety
years
old,
bear?
\VS{18}And
Abraham
said
to
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 17:18 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
Oh
that
Ishmael
might
live
before thee!
\VS{19}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 17:19 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
said,
Sarah thy
wife
shall
indeed
bear thee
a
son;
and thou shalt
call
his
name
Isaac;
and
I
will
establish
my
covenant
with
him,
for
an
everlasting
covenant
for
his
seed
after
him.
\VS{20}And
for
Ishmael
I
have
heard thee:
behold,
I
will
bless
him,
and
will
make
him
fruitful,
and
will
very
greatly
multiply
him;
twelve
princes
shall
he
beget,
and
I
will
make
him
a
great
nation.
\VS{21}But
my
covenant
will
I
establish
with
Isaac,
whom
Sarah
shall
bear
to thee
at
this
appointed
time
in
the
next
year.
\VS{22}And
he
left
off
talking
with
him;
and
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 17:22 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
went
up
from
Abraham.
\VS{23}And
Abraham
took
Ishmael
his
son,
and
all
who
were
born
in
his
house,
and
all
who
were
bought
with
his
money —
every
male
among
the
people
of Abraham's
house —
and
circumcised
the
flesh
of
their
foreskin
on
that
same
day,
as
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 17:23 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
had
said
to
him.
\VS{24}And
Abraham
was ninety-nine
years
old
when
he
was
circumcised
in
the
flesh
of
his
foreskin.
\VS{25}And
Ishmael
his
son
was
thirteen
years
old
when
he
was
circumcised
in
the
flesh
of
his
foreskin.
\VS{26}In
the selfsame
day
was
Abraham
circumcised,
and
Ishmael
his
son;
\VS{27}and
all
the
men
of
his
house,
born
in
his
house,
or
bought
with
money
of
the stranger,
were
circumcised
with
him.

\par }\Chap{18}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Jehovah
appeared
to
him
by
the
oaks
of
Mamre.
And
he
sat
at
the tent-door
in
the
heat
of
the
day.
\VS{2}And
he
lifted
up
his
eyes
and
saw,
and
behold,
three
men
standing
near
him.
And
when
he
saw [them],
he
ran
to
meet
them
from
the tent-door,
and
bowed
himself
to
the
earth,
\VS{3}and
said,
Lord,
if
now
I
have
found favour
in thine
eyes,
pass
not
away,
I
pray thee,
from thy
servant.
\VS{4}Let
now
a
little
water
be fetched,
that ye
may
wash
your
feet,
and
rest
yourselves
under
the
tree.
\VS{5}And
I
will fetch
a
morsel
of
bread;
and
refresh
yourselves;
after
that ye
shall
pass
on;
for
therefore
have ye
passed
on towards
your
servant.
And
they
said,
So
do
as thou hast
said.
\VS{6}And
Abraham
hastened
into
the
tent
to
Sarah,
and
said,
Knead
quickly
three
seahs
of wheaten
flour,
and
make
cakes.
\VS{7}And
Abraham
ran
to
the
herd,
and
took
a
calf
tender
and
good,
and
gave [it]
to
the
attendant;
and
he hasted
to dress
it.
\VS{8}And
he
took thick
and sweet
milk,
and
the
calf
that
he
had dressed,
and
set [it]
before
them;
and
he
stood
before
them
under
the
tree,
and
they
ate.
\VS{9}And
they
said
to
him,
Where
is
Sarah thy
wife?
And
he
said,
Behold,
in
the
tent.
\VS{10}And
he
said,
I
will
certainly
return
to thee
at [this]
time
of
the
year,
and
behold,
Sarah thy
wife
shall
have
a
son.
And
Sarah
was
listening
at
the tent-door,
which
was
behind
him.
\VS{11}Now
Abraham
and
Sarah
were
old [and]
advanced
in
age:
it
had
ceased
to
be
with
Sarah
after
the manner
of
women.
\VS{12}And
Sarah
laughed
within
herself,
saying,
After
I
am
become
old,
shall
I
have pleasure,
and
my
lord
old?
\VS{13}And
Jehovah
said
to
Abraham,
Why
is
this,
that
Sarah laughs,
saying,
Shall
I
indeed
bear,
when
I
am
become
old?
\VS{14}Is [any]
matter
too
wonderful
for
Jehovah?
At
the
time
appointed
I
will
return
to thee,
at [this]
time
of
the
year,
and
Sarah
shall
have
a
son.
\VS{15}And
Sarah
denied,
saying,
I
did
not
laugh;
for
she
was
afraid.
And
he
said,
No;
but thou didst
laugh.
\VS{16}And
the
men
rose
up thence,
and
looked
toward
Sodom;
and
Abraham
went
with
them
to conduct
them.
\VS{17}And
Jehovah
said,
Shall
I
hide
from
Abraham
what
I
am
doing?
\VS{18}Since
Abraham
shall
indeed
become
a
great
and
mighty
nation;
and
all
the
nations
of
the
earth
shall
be
blessed
in
him.
\VS{19}For
I
know
him
that
he
will
command
his
children
and
his
household
after
him,
and
they
shall
keep
the
way
of
Jehovah,
to
do
righteousness
and
justice,
in
order
that
Jehovah
may
bring
upon
Abraham
what
he hath
spoken
of
him.
\VS{20}And
Jehovah
said,
Because
the
cry
of
Sodom
and
Gomorrah
is
great
and
their
sin
is
very grievous,
\VS{21}I
will
go
down
now,
and
see
whether
they
have
done altogether
according
to
the
cry
of
it, which
is
come
to
me;
and
if
not,
I
will
know [it].
\VS{22}And
the
men
turned thence,
and
went towards
Sodom;
and
Abraham
remained
yet
standing
before
Jehovah.
\VS{23}And
Abraham
drew
near,
and
said, Wilt thou
also cause
the
righteous
to
perish
with
the
wicked?
\VS{24}There
are
perhaps
fifty
righteous
within
the
city: wilt thou
also
destroy
and
not
forgive
the
place
for
the
sake
of
the
fifty
righteous
that
are therein?
\VS{25}Far
be
it
from thee
to
do
so,
to
slay
the
righteous
with
the
wicked,
that
the
righteous
should
be
as
the
wicked —
far
be
it
from thee!
Will
not
the
Judge
of
all
the
earth
do
right?
\VS{26}And
Jehovah
said,
If
I
find
at
Sodom
fifty
righteous
within
the
city,
then
I
will
forgive
all
the
place
for
their sakes.
\VS{27}And
Abraham
answered
and
said,
Behold
now,
I
have
ventured
to
speak unto
the
Lord;
I,
who
am
dust
and
ashes.
\VS{28}Perhaps
there
may
want
five
of
the
fifty
righteous: wilt thou
destroy
all
the
city
on account
of
the
five?
And
he
said,
If
I
shall
find
forty-five
there,
I
will
not
destroy [it].
\VS{29}And
he
continued
yet
to
speak
with
him,
and
said,
Perhaps
there
may
be
forty
found
there.
And
he
said,
I
will
not
do
it
for
the forty's
sake.
\VS{30}And
he
said,
Oh,
let
not
the
Lord
be
angry
that
I
speak!
Perhaps
there
may
be
thirty
found
there.
And
he
said,
I
will
not
do
it
if
I
find
thirty
there.
\VS{31}And
he
said,
Behold
now,
I
have
ventured
to
speak
with
the
Lord.
Perhaps
there
may
be
twenty
found
there.
And
he
said,
I
will
not
destroy [it]
for
the twenty's
sake.
\VS{32}And
he
said,
Oh,
let
not
the
Lord
be
angry,
that
I
speak
yet
but
this
time!
Perhaps
there
may
be
ten
found
there.
And
he
said,
I
will
not
destroy [it]
for
the ten's
sake.
\VS{33}And
Jehovah
went
away
when
he
had
ended
speaking
to
Abraham;
and
Abraham
returned
to
his
place.

\par }\Chap{19}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
two
angels
came
to
Sodom
at
even.
And
Lot
was
sitting
in
the
gate
of
Sodom.
And
Lot
saw
them,
and
rose
up
to
meet
them;
and
he
bowed
down,
the
face
toward
the
ground,
\VS{2}and
he
said,
Behold
now,
my
lords,
turn
in,
I
pray
you,
into
your servant's
house,
and lodge,
and
wash
your
feet;
and ye
shall
rise
up
early,
and
go
on
your
way.
And
they
said,
No;
but
we
will
pass
the night
in
the
open
place.
\VS{3}And
he
urged
them
greatly;
and
they
turned
in unto
him,
and
entered
into
his
house.
And
he
made
them
a repast,
and
baked
unleavened
cakes;
and
they
ate.
\VS{4}Before
they
lay
down,
the
men
of
the
city,
the
men
of
Sodom,
surrounded
the
house,
from
the youngest
to
the
oldest —
all
the
people
from
every quarter.
\VS{5}And
they
called
to
Lot,
and
said
to
him,
Where
are
the
men
that
have
come
in
to thee to-night?
bring
them
out
to
us
that
we
may
know
them.
\VS{6}And
Lot
went
out
to
them
to
the
entrance,
and
shut
the
door
after
him,
\VS{7}and
said,
I
pray you,
my
brethren,
do
not wickedly!
\VS{8}Behold
now,
I
have
two
daughters
who
have
not
known
a
man:
let
me
now
bring
them
out
to
you;
and
do
to
them
as
is
good
in
your
sight:
only,
to
these
men
do
nothing;
for
therefore
have
they
come
under
the
shadow
of
my
roof.
\VS{9}And
they
said,
Back
there!
And
they
said [again],
This
one
came
to sojourn,
and
he must
be
a
judge?
Now
we
will
deal worse
with thee than
with
them.
And
they
pressed
hard
on
the
man —
on
Lot;
and
drew
near
to
break
the
door.
\VS{10}And
the
men
stretched
out
their
hand,
and
brought
Lot
into
the
house
to
them,
and
shut
the
door.
\VS{11}And
they
smote
the
men
that
were
at
the
entrance
of
the
house
with
blindness,
from
the smallest
to
the
greatest;
and
they
wearied
themselves
to
find
the
entrance.
\VS{12}And
the
men
said
to
Lot,
Whom hast thou
here
besides?
a
son-in-law,
and thy
sons,
and thy
daughters,
and
all
whom thou hast
in
the
city —
bring [them]
out
of
the
place.
\VS{13}For
we
are going
to
destroy
this
place,
because
the
cry
of
them
is
great
before
Jehovah,
and
Jehovah
has
sent
us
to
destroy
it.
\VS{14}And
Lot
went
out,
and
spoke
to
his sons-in-law,
who
had
married
his
daughters,
and
said,
Up,
go
out
of
this
place,
for
Jehovah
will
destroy
the
city.
But
he
was
as
if
he jested,
in
the
sight
of
his sons-in-law.
\VS{15}And
as
the
dawn
arose,
the
angels
urged
Lot,
saying,
Up,
take thy
wife
and thy
two
daughters
who
are
present,
lest thou
perish
in
the
iniquity
of
the
city.
\VS{16}And
as
he lingered,
the
men
laid
hold
on
his
hand,
and
on
the
hand
of
his
wife,
and
on
the
hand
of
his
two
daughters,
Jehovah being merciful
to
him;
and
they
led
him
out,
and
set
him without
the
city.
\VS{17}And
it
came
to
pass
when
they
had
brought
them
outside,
that
he
said,
Escape
for thy
life:
look
not
behind thee,
neither
stay thou
in
all
the
plain:
escape
to
the
mountain,
lest thou
perish.
\VS{18}And
Lot
said
to
them,
Not [so],
I
pray thee,
Lord;
\VS{19}behold
now, thy
servant
has
found favour
in thine
eyes,
and thou hast
magnified thy goodness,
which thou hast shewn
to
me
in preserving
my
soul
alive;
but
I
cannot
escape
to
the
mountain,
lest
calamity
lay
hold
on
me,
that
I
die.
\VS{20}Behold
now,
this
city
is
near
to
flee
to,
and
it
is
small:
I
pray thee,
let
me
escape thither —
is
it
not
small? —
and
my
soul
shall
live.
\VS{21}And
he
said
to
him,
Behold,
I
have accepted thee
concerning
this
thing
also,
that
I
will
not
overthrow
the
city
of
which thou hast
spoken.
\VS{22}Haste,
escape thither;
for
I
cannot
do
anything
until thou art
come
there.
Therefore
the
name
of
the
city
is
called
Zoar.
\VS{23}The
sun rose
upon
the
earth
when
Lot
came
to
Zoar.
\VS{24}And
Jehovah
rained
on
Sodom
and
Gomorrah
brimstone
and
fire
from
Jehovah
out
of
heaven,
\VS{25}and
overthrew
those
cities,
and
all
the
plain,
and
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
cities,
and
what
grew
upon
the
ground.
\VS{26}And
his
wife
looked
back
from
behind
him,
and
she
became
a
pillar
of
salt.
\VS{27}And
Abraham
rose
early
in
the
morning [and
went]
to
the
place
where
he
had
stood
before
Jehovah;
\VS{28}and
he
looked
toward
Sodom
and
Gomorrah,
and
toward
all
the
land
of
the
plain,
and beheld,
and
lo,
a
smoke
went
up
from
the
land
as
the
smoke
of
a
furnace.
\VS{29}And
it
came
to
pass
when
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 19:29 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
destroyed
the
cities
of
the
plain,
that
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 19:29 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
remembered
Abraham,
and
sent
Lot
out
of
the
midst
of
the
overthrow,
when
he
overthrew
the
cities
in
which
Lot
dwelt.
\VS{30}And
Lot
went
up
from
Zoar,
and
dwelt
in
the
mountain,
and
his
two
daughters
with
him;
for
he
feared
to
dwell
in
Zoar.
And
he
dwelt
in
a
cave,
he
and
his
two
daughters.
\VS{31}And
the first-born
said
to
the
younger,
Our
father
is
old,
and
there
is
not
a
man
in
the
land
to
come
in
to
us
after
the
manner
of
all
the
earth:
\VS{32}come, let
us
give
our
father
wine
to
drink,
and let
us
lie
with
him,
that we
may
preserve
seed
alive
of
our
father.
\VS{33}And
they
gave
their
father
wine
to
drink
that
night.
And
the first-born

with

it
came
to
pass
on
the

Lo,
I
lay
last
night
with

wine
to
drink to-night
also,

go thou
in,
lie
with
him,
that
we
may
preserve
seed
alive
of
our
father.
\VS{35}And
they
gave
their
father
wine
to
drink
that
night
also.
And
the
younger
arose,
and
lay
with
him;
and
he
did
not
know
of
her
lying
down,
nor
of
her
rising.
\VS{36}And
both
the
daughters
of
Lot
were
with
child
by
their
father.
\VS{37}And
the first-born
bore
a
son,
and
called
his
name
Moab:
the
same
is
the
father
of
the
Moabites
to
this
day.
\VS{38}And
the
younger,
she
also
bore
a
son,
and
called
his
name
Ben-ammi;
the

is
the
father
of
the
children
of
Ammon
to
this
day.

departed thence towards

In

I
also
knew
that thou didst
this
in

I,
too,
have
withheld thee
from
sinning
against

therefore
have
I
not suffered thee

afraid.

called
Abraham

said
to

And
in
what
have
I
sinned
against thee,
that thou hast
brought
on

a

done

deeds

\VS{10}And
Abimelech
said
to
Abraham,
What hast thou
seen
that thou hast
done
this?
\VS{11}And
Abraham
said,
Because
I
said,
Surely
the
fear
of

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
is
not
in
this

she
is

truly
my

not
the

she
became
my
wife.

it
came
to
pass
when
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 20:13 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
caused
me
to
wander
from

Abimelech
took
sheep

gave [them]

said,

this,
neither hast thou
told

Heth, [even]
of
all
that
went
in
at
the
gate
of
his
city,
saying,
\VS{11}No,
my
lord:
hear
me.
The
field
give
I thee;
and
the
cave
that
is
in
it,
to thee
I
give
it;
before
the
eyes
of
the
sons
of
my
people
give
I
it thee:
bury thy
dead.
\VS{12}And
Abraham
bowed
down
before
the
people
of
the
land;
\VS{13}and
he
spoke
to
Ephron,
in
the
ears
of
the
people
of
the
land,
saying,
But
if
only thou wouldst
listen
to
me,
I
give
the
money
for
the
field:
take [it]
of
me,
and
I
will
bury
my
dead
there.
\VS{14}And
Ephron
answered
Abraham,
saying
to
him,
\VS{15}My
lord, hearken
to
me.
A field
of
four
hundred
shekels
of
silver,
what
is
that
between
me
and thee?
bury
therefore thy
dead.
\VS{16}And
Abraham hearkened
to
Ephron;
and
Abraham
weighed
to
Ephron
the
money
that
he
had
named
in
the
ears
of
the
sons
of
Heth —
four
hundred
shekels
of
silver, current
with
the
merchant.
\VS{17}So
the
field
of
Ephron,
which
was
at
Machpelah,
which
was
before
Mamre,
the
field,
and
the
cave
that
was
in
it,
and
all
the
trees
that
were
in
the
field,
that
were
in
all
its
borders
round
about,
\VS{18}were assured
to
Abraham
for
a
possession
before
the
eyes
of
the
sons
of
Heth,
before
all
who
went
in
at
the
gate
of
his
city.
\VS{19}And
after
this,
Abraham
buried
Sarah
his
wife
in
the
cave
of
the
field
at
Machpelah,
opposite
to
Mamre:
that
is
Hebron,
in
the
land
of
Canaan.
\VS{20}And
the
field
and
the
cave
that
was
in
it
were assured
to
Abraham
for
a
possession
of
a sepulchre
by
the
sons
of
Heth.

Abraham
was
old, [and]
advanced
in

had
blessed

in
all

\VS{2}And
Abraham
said
to
his
servant,
the eldest
of
his
house,
who
ruled
over
all
that
he
had,
Put thy

of

and
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 24:3 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God

take

\VS{5}And
the
servant
said
to
him,
Perhaps
the
woman
will
not
be
willing
to
follow
me
to
this
land:
must
I,
then,
bring thy
son
again
in
any case
to
the
land
from
which thou hast
removed?

Abraham
said
to
him,
Beware

again.
\VS{7}Jehovah
the

be
not

then thou shalt
be quit

\VS{9}And
the
servant
put
his
hand
under

Abraham
his

swore unto
him
concerning
that

\VS{10}And
the

took
ten
camels
of

all
the treasure
of
his
master
was
under
his
hand;
and
he
arose
and
went
to Aram-naharaim,
to
the
city
of
Nahor.
\VS{11}And
he made
the
camels
kneel
down
outside
the
city
by
a
well
of
water,
at
the
time
of
the
evening,
when
the women
came
out
to
draw [water].
\VS{12}And
he
said,
Jehovah,
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 24:12 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
my
master
Abraham,
meet
me,
I
pray thee, [with thy blessing]
this
day,
and
deal
kindly
with
my
master
Abraham.
\VS{13}Behold,
I
stand [here]
by
the well
of
water,
and
the
daughters
of
the
men
of
the
city
come
out
to
draw
water.
\VS{14}And
let
it
come
to
pass, [that]
the maiden
to
whom
I
shall
say,
Let
down thy
pitcher,
I
pray thee,
that
I
may
drink,

who
will
say,
Drink,

I
will
give thy
camels
drink
also,
be
she
whom thou hast
appointed
for thy
servant
Isaac;
and hereby
I
shall
know
that thou hast dealt kindly
with
my
master.
\VS{15}And
it
came
to
pass
before
he
had
ended
speaking,
that
behold, Rebecca
came
out,
who
was
born
to
Bethuel,
son
of
Milcah
the
wife
of
Nahor, Abraham's
brother;
and [she
had]
her
pitcher
upon
her
shoulder.
\VS{16}And
the maiden
was
very fair
in countenance;
a
virgin,
and
no
man
had
known
her.
And
she
went
down
to
the
well,
and
filled
her
pitcher,
and
came
up.
\VS{17}And
the
servant
ran
to
meet
her,
and
said,
Let
me,
I
pray thee,
sip
a
little
water
out
of thy
pitcher.
\VS{18}And
she
said,
Drink,
my
lord!
And
she hasted
and
let
down
her
pitcher
on
her
hand,
and
gave
him
to
drink.
\VS{19}And
when
she
had
given
him
enough
to
drink,
she
said,
I
will
draw [water]
for thy
camels
also,
until
they
have
drunk
enough.
\VS{20}And she hasted
and
emptied
her
pitcher
into
the
trough,
and
ran
again
to
the
well
to
draw [water];
and she
drew
for
all
his
camels.
\VS{21}And
the
man
was astonished
at
her, remaining
silent,
to
know
whether
Jehovah
had
made
his
journey
prosperous
or
not.
\VS{22}And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
camels
had
drunk
enough,
that
the
man
took
a
gold
ring,
of half
a shekel
weight,
and
two
bracelets
for
her
hands,
ten [shekels]
weight
of
gold,
\VS{23}and
said,
Whose
daughter art thou?
tell
me,
I
pray thee.
Is
there
room [in] thy father's
house
for
us
to lodge?
\VS{24}And
she
said
to
him,
I
am
the
daughter
of
Bethuel
the
son
of
Milcah,
whom
she
bore
to
Nahor.
\VS{25}And
she
said
to
him, There
is
straw,
and
also
much provender
with
us;
also
room
to lodge.
\VS{26}And
the
man stooped,
and
bowed
down before
Jehovah,
\VS{27}and
said,
Blessed
be
Jehovah,
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 24:27 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
my
master
Abraham,
who
has
not withdrawn
his loving-kindness
and
his
faithfulness
from
my
master;
I
being
in
the
way,
Jehovah
has
led
me
to
the
house
of
my master's
brethren.
\VS{28}And
the maiden
ran
and
told
these
things
to
her mother's
house.
\VS{29}And Rebecca
had
a
brother,
named
Laban;
and
Laban
ran
out
to
the
man,
to
the well.
\VS{30}And
it
came
to
pass
when
he
saw
the
ring
and
the
bracelets
on
his sister's
hand,
and
when
he
heard
the
words
of Rebecca
his
sister,
saying,
Thus
spoke
the
man
to
me —
that
he
came
to
the
man,
and
behold,
he
was
standing
by
the
camels,
by
the well.
\VS{31}And
he
said,
Come
in,
blessed
of
Jehovah!
why standest thou
outside?
for
I
have
prepared
the
house,
and
room
for
the
camels.
\VS{32}And
the
man
came
into
the
house;
and
he ungirded
the
camels,
and
gave
the
camels
straw
and provender,
and
water
to
wash
his
feet,
and
the
feet
of
the
men
who
were
with
him.
\VS{33}And
there
was set [meat]
before
him
to
eat;
but
he
said,
I
will
not
eat
until
I
have
made
known
my
business.
And
he
said,
Speak
on.
\VS{34}And
he
said,
I
am Abraham's
servant.
\VS{35}And
Jehovah
has
blessed
my
master
greatly,
and
he
is
become
great;
and
he
has
given
him
sheep
and
cattle,
and
silver
and
gold,
and bondmen
and bondwomen,
and
camels
and asses.
\VS{36}And
Sarah,
my master's
wife,
bore
a
son
to
my
master
after
she
had grown
old;
and unto
him
has
he
given
all
that
he
has.
\VS{37}And
my
master
made
me
swear,
saying, Thou shalt
not
take
a
wife
for
my
son
of
the
daughters
of
the
Canaanite,
in
whose
land
I
am
dwelling;
\VS{38}but thou shalt
by all
means go
to
my father's
house
and
to
my
family,
and
take
a
wife
for
my
son.
\VS{39}And
I
said
to
my
master,
Perhaps
the
woman
will
not
follow
me?
\VS{40}And
he
said
to
me,
Jehovah,
before
whom
I
have
walked,
will
send
his
angel
with thee,
and
prosper thy
way,
that thou mayest
take
a
wife
for
my
son
of
my
family,
and
out
of
my father's
house.
\VS{41}Then shalt thou
be quit
of
my
oath,
when thou shalt
have
come
to
my
family.
And
if
they
give thee
not [one], thou shalt
be quit
of
my
oath.
\VS{42}And
I
came
this
day
to
the
well,
and
said,
Jehovah,
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 24:42 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
my
master
Abraham,
if
now thou wilt
prosper
my
way
on
which
I
go,
\VS{43}behold,
I
stand
by
the well
of
water,
and
let
it
come
to
pass
that
the damsel
who cometh
forth
to
draw [water],
and
to whom
I
shall
say,
Give
me,
I
pray thee,
a
little
water
out
of thy
pitcher
to
drink,
\VS{44}and
she
shall
say
to
me,
Both
drink thou,
and
I
will
also
draw
for thy
camels —
that
she
should
be
the
woman
whom
Jehovah hath
appointed
for
my master's
son.
\VS{45}Before
I
ended
speaking
in
my
heart,
behold, Rebecca
came
forth
with
her
pitcher
on
her
shoulder,
and
went
down
to
the
well,
and
drew [water];
and
I
said
to
her,
Give
me,
I
pray thee,
to
drink.
\VS{46}And
she hasted
and
let
down
her
pitcher
from
her [shoulder],
and
said,
Drink,
and
I
will
give thy
camels
drink
also.
And
I
drank;
and
she
gave
the
camels
drink
also.
\VS{47}And
I
asked
her,
and
said,
Whose
daughter art thou?
And
she
said,
The
daughter
of
Bethuel, Nahor's
son,
whom
Milcah
bore
to
him.
And
I
put
the
ring
on
her
nose,
and
the
bracelets
on
her
hands.
\VS{48}And
I stooped,
and
bowed
down
before
Jehovah;
and
I
blessed
Jehovah,
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 24:48 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
my
master
Abraham,
who
has
led
me
the
right
way
to
take
my master's brother's
daughter
for
his
son.
\VS{49}And
now,
if ye
will
deal kindly
and
truly
with
my
master,
tell
me;
and
if
not,
tell
me;
and
I
will
turn
to
the
right
hand
or
to
the
left.
\VS{50}And
Laban
and
Bethuel
answered
and
said,
The
thing
proceeds
from
Jehovah:
we
cannot
speak
to thee
bad
or
good.
\VS{51}Behold, Rebecca
is
before thee:
take [her],
and
go
away;
and
let
her
be
wife
of thy master's
son,
as
Jehovah
has
said.
\VS{52}And
it
came
to
pass,
when Abraham's
servant
heard
their
words,
that
he
bowed
down
to
the
earth before
Jehovah.
\VS{53}And
the
servant
brought
forth
silver
articles,
and
gold
articles,
and
clothing,
and
he
gave [them]
to Rebecca;
and
he
gave
to
her
brother,
and
to
her
mother,
precious
things.
\VS{54}And
they
ate
and
drank,
he
and
the
men
that
were
with
him,
and lodged.
And
they
rose
up
in
the
morning;
and
he
said,
Send
me
away
to
my
master.
\VS{55}And
her
brother
and
her
mother
said, Let
the maiden
abide
with
us [some]
days,
or [say]
ten;
after
that
she
shall go.
\VS{56}And
he
said
to
them,
Do
not hinder
me, seeing
Jehovah
has prospered
my
way:
send
me
away,
and
I
will
go
to
my
master.
\VS{57}And
they
said, Let
us
call
the maiden
and
inquire at
her
mouth.
\VS{58}And
they
called Rebecca
and
said
to
her, Wilt thou go
with
this
man?
And
she
said,
I
will go.
\VS{59}And
they
sent
away Rebecca
their
sister,
and
her
nurse,
and Abraham's
servant,
and
his
men.
\VS{60}And
they
blessed Rebecca,
and
said
to
her, Thou art
our
sister; mayest thou
become
thousands
of tens
of
thousands;
and
may thy
seed
possess
the
gate
of
their
enemies!
\VS{61}And Rebecca
arose,
and
her
maids,
and
they
rode
upon
the
camels,
and
followed
the
man.
And
the
servant
took Rebecca,
and
went
away.
\VS{62}And
Isaac
had just
returned
from
Beer-lahai-roi;
for
he
was
dwelling
in
the
south
country.
\VS{63}And
Isaac
had
gone
out
to
meditate
in
the
fields
toward
the beginning
of
evening.
And
he
lifted
up
his
eyes
and
saw,
and
behold,
camels
were
coming.
\VS{64}And Rebecca
lifted
up
her
eyes
and
saw
Isaac,
and
she sprang
off
the
camel.
\VS{65}And
she
had
said
to
the
servant,
Who
is
the
man
that
is
walking
in
the
fields
to
meet
us?
And
the
servant
said,
That
is
my
master!
Then
she
took
the
veil,
and
covered
herself.
\VS{66}And
the
servant
told
Isaac
all
things
that
he
had
done.
\VS{67}And
Isaac
led
her
into
his
mother Sarah's
tent;
and
he
took Rebecca,
and
she
became
his
wife,
and
he
loved
her.
And
Isaac
was
comforted
after [the death
of]
his
mother.

Shur,
which
is
opposite
to
Egypt,
as
one
goes towards
Assyria.
He
settled
before
the
face
of
all
his
brethren.
\VS{19}And
these
are
the
generations
of
Isaac, Abraham's
son.
Abraham
begot
Isaac.
\VS{20}And
Isaac
was
forty
years
old
when
he
took Rebecca
as
wife,
the
daughter
of
Bethuel
the
Syrian
of Padan-Aram,
the
sister
of
Laban
the
Syrian.
\VS{21}And
Isaac
entreated
Jehovah
for
his
wife,
because
she
was
barren;
and
Jehovah
was
entreated
of
him,
and Rebecca
his
wife
conceived.
\VS{22}And
the
children
struggled
together
within
her;
and
she
said,
If [it
be]
so,
why
am
I
thus?
And
she went
to
inquire
of
Jehovah.
\VS{23}And
Jehovah
said
to
her,
Two
nations
are
in thy
womb,
And
two
peoples
shall
be
separated
from thy
bowels;
And
one
people
shall
be
stronger
than
the
other
people,
And
the elder
shall
serve
the
younger.
\VS{24}And
when
her
days
to
be
delivered
were
fulfilled,
behold,
there
were
twins
in
her
womb.
\VS{25}And
the
first
came
out
red —
all
over
like
a
hairy
garment;
and
they
called
his
name
Esau.
\VS{26}And
after
that
came
his
brother
out;
and
his
hand
took
hold
of Esau's
heel;
and
his
name
was
called
Jacob.
And
Isaac
was
sixty
years
old
when
they
were
born.
\VS{27}And
the
boys
grew,
and
Esau
became
a
man skilled
in hunting,
a
man
of
the
field;
and
Jacob
was
a homely
man,
dwelling
in
tents.
\VS{28}And
Isaac
loved
Esau,
because venison
was
to
his
taste;
and Rebecca
loved
Jacob.
\VS{29}And
Jacob
had
cooked
a dish;
and
Esau
came
from
the
field,
and
he
was
faint.
\VS{30}And
Esau
said
to
Jacob, Feed
me,
I
pray thee,
with
the
red —
the
red
thing
there,
for
I
am
faint.
Therefore
was
his
name
called
Edom.
\VS{31}And
Jacob
said,
Sell
me
now thy
birthright.
\VS{32}And
Esau
said,
Behold,
I
am
going
to
die,
and
of
what use
can
the
birthright
be
to
me?
\VS{33}And
Jacob
said,
Swear unto
me
now.
And
he
swore unto
him,
and
sold
his
birthright
to
Jacob.
\VS{34}And
Jacob
gave
Esau
bread
and
the dish
of
lentils;
and
he
ate
and
drank,
and
rose
up
and
went
away. Thus
Esau
despised
the
birthright.

\par }\Chap{26}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
there
was
a
famine
in
the
land,
besides
the
former
famine
which
had
been
in
the
days
of
Abraham.
And
Isaac
went
to
Abimelech
the
king
of
the
Philistines,
to
Gerar.
\VS{2}And
Jehovah
appeared
to
him
and
said,
Go
not
down
to
Egypt:
dwell
in
the
land
that
I
shall
tell thee
of.
\VS{3}Sojourn
in
this
land;
and
I
will
be
with thee
and
bless thee;
for unto thee,
and unto thy
seed,
I
will
give
all
these
countries;
and
I
will perform
the
oath
which
I
swore unto
Abraham thy
father.
\VS{4}And
I
will
multiply thy
seed
as
the
stars
of
heaven,
and unto thy
seed
will
I
give
all
these
countries;
and
in thy
seed
shall
all
the
nations
of
the
earth
bless themselves —
\VS{5}because
that
Abraham hearkened
to
my
voice,
and
kept
my
charge,
my
commandments,
my
statutes,
and
my
laws.
\VS{6}And
Isaac
dwelt
at
Gerar.
\VS{7}And
the
men
of
the
place
asked
about
his
wife.
And
he
said,
She
is
my
sister;
for
he
feared
to
say,
my
wife, [saying
to
himself,]
Lest
the
men
of
the
place
slay
me
on
account
of Rebecca —
because
she
was fair
in countenance.
\VS{8}And
it
came
to
pass
when
he
had
been
there
some
time,
that
Abimelech
the
king
of
the
Philistines
looked
out
of
the
window,
and
saw,
and
behold,
Isaac
was dallying
with Rebecca
his
wife.
\VS{9}Then
Abimelech
called
Isaac,
and
said,
Behold,
she
is
certainly thy
wife;
and
how saidst thou,
She
is
my
sister?
and
Isaac
said
to
him,
Because
I
said,
Lest
I
die
on
account
of
her.
\VS{10}And
Abimelech
said,
What
is
this thou hast
done
to
us?
But
a
little
and
one
of
the
people might
have
lain
with thy
wife,
and thou wouldest
have
brought
a trespass
on
us.
\VS{11}And
Abimelech
charged
all
the
people,
saying,
He
that
touches
this
man
or
his
wife
shall
certainly
be
put
to
death.
\VS{12}And
Isaac
sowed
in
that
land,
and received
in
the
same
year
a hundredfold;
and
Jehovah
blessed
him.
\VS{13}And
the
man
became
great,
and
he
became
continually
greater,
until
he
was
very
great.
\VS{14}And
he
had
possessions
of
flocks,
and
possessions
of
herds,
and
a
great number
of
servants;
and
the
Philistines
envied
him.
\VS{15}And
all
the
wells
that
his father's
servants
had
dug
in
the
days
of
Abraham
his
father,
the
Philistines
stopped
them
and
filled
them
with
earth.
\VS{16}And
Abimelech
said
to
Isaac, Go
from
us;
for thou art become
much mightier
than
we.
\VS{17}And
Isaac departed thence,
and
pitched
his
camp
in
the
valley
of
Gerar,
and
dwelt
there.
\VS{18}And
Isaac
dug
again
the
wells
of
water
that
they
had
dug
in
the
days
of
Abraham
his
father,
and
that
the
Philistines
had
stopped
after
the
death
of
Abraham;
and
he
called
their
names
after
the
names
by
which
his
father
had
called
them.
\VS{19}And Isaac's
servants
dug
in
the
valley,
and
found
there
a
well
of springing
water.
\VS{20}But
the
shepherds
of
Gerar strove
with Isaac's
shepherds,
saying,
The
water
is ours.
And
he
called
the
name
of
the
well
Esek,
because
they
had quarrelled
with
him.
\VS{21}And
they
dug
another
well,
and
they strove
for
that
also;
and
he
called
the
name
of
it
Sitnah.
\VS{22}And
he removed thence
and
dug
another
well;
and
they
did
not
strive
for
that.
And
he
called
the
name
of
it
Rehoboth,
and
said,
For
now
Jehovah
has
made
room
for
us,
and
we
shall
be
fruitful
in
the
land.
\VS{23}And
he
went
up thence
to Beer-sheba.
\VS{24}And
Jehovah
appeared
to
him
the
same
night,
and
said,
I
am
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 26:24 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
Abraham thy
father:
fear
not,
for
I
am
with thee,
and
will
bless thee,
and
multiply thy
seed
for
my
servant Abraham's
sake.
\VS{25}And
he
built
an
altar
there,
and
called
upon
the
name
of
Jehovah.
And
he
pitched
his
tent
there;
and
there Isaac's
servants
dug
a
well.
\VS{26}And
Abimelech,
and
Ahuzzath
his friend,
and Phichol
the
captain
of
his
host,
went
to
him
from
Gerar.
\VS{27}And
Isaac
said
to
them,
Why
are ye
come
to
me, seeing ye
hate
me,
and
have driven
me
away
from
you?
\VS{28}And
they
said,
We
saw
certainly
that
Jehovah
is
with thee;
and
we
said,
Let
there
be
then
an
oath
between
us —
between
us
and thee,
and
let
us
make
a
covenant
with thee,
\VS{29}that thou wilt
do
us
no
wrong,
as
we
have
not
touched thee,
and
as
we
have
done
to thee
nothing
but
good,
and
have
let thee
go
in
peace; thou art
now
blessed
of
Jehovah.
\VS{30}And
he
made
them
a
feast,
and
they
ate
and
drank.
\VS{31}And
they
rose
early
in
the
morning,
and
swore
one
to
another;
and
Isaac
sent
them
away,
and
they departed
from
him
in
peace.
\VS{32}And
it
came
to
pass
the
same
day,
that Isaac's
servants
came,
and
told
him
concerning
the
well
that
they
had
dug,
and
said
to
him,
We
have
found
water.
\VS{33}And
he
called
it Shebah;
therefore
the
name
of
the
city
is Beer-sheba
to
this
day.
\VS{34}And
Esau
was
forty
years
old,
when
he
took
as
wives
Judith
the
daughter
of
Beeri
the
Hittite,
and Basmath
the
daughter
of
Elon
the
Hittite.
\VS{35}And they
were
a grief
of
mind
to
Isaac
and
to Rebecca.

\par }\Chap{27}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
it
came
to
pass
when
Isaac
had
become
old,
and
his
eyes
were dim
so
that
he could
not
see,
that
he
called
Esau
his
elder
son,
and
said
to
him,
My
son!
And
he
said
to
him,
Here
am
I.
\VS{2}And
he
said,
Behold
now,
I
am become
old;
I
know
not
the
day
of
my
death.
\VS{3}And
now,
I
pray thee,
take thy
weapons, thy
quiver
and thy
bow,
and
go
out
to
the
field
and
hunt
me venison,
\VS{4}and
prepare
me
a savoury
dish
such
as
I
love,
and
bring
it
to
me
that
I
may
eat,
in
order
that
my
soul
may
bless thee
before
I
die.
\VS{5}And Rebecca
heard
when
Isaac
spoke
to
Esau
his
son.
And
Esau
went
to
the
field
to
hunt venison,
to
bring
it.
\VS{6}And Rebecca
spoke
to
Jacob
her
son,
saying,
Behold,
I
heard thy
father
speak
to
Esau thy
brother,
saying,
\VS{7}Bring
me venison,
and
prepare
me
a savoury
dish,
that
I
may
eat,
and
bless thee
before
Jehovah,
before
my
death.
\VS{8}And
now,
my
son, hearken
to
my
voice
in
that
which
I
command thee.
\VS{9}Go,
I
pray thee,
to
the
flock,
and fetch
me thence
two
good kids
of
the
goats.
And
I
will
make
of
them
a savoury
dish
for thy
father,
such
as
he
loves.
\VS{10}And thou shalt
bring [it]
to thy
father,
that
he
may
eat,
in
order
that
he
may
bless thee
before
his
death.
\VS{11}And
Jacob
said
to Rebecca
his
mother,
Behold,
Esau
my
brother
is
a hairy
man,
and
I
am
a
smooth
man.
\VS{12}My
father
perhaps
will
feel
me,
and
I
shall
be
in
his
sight
as
one
who mocks [him],
and
I
shall
bring
a
curse
on
me,
and
not
a
blessing.
\VS{13}And
his
mother
said
to
him,
On
me [be] thy
curse,
my
son!
Only hearken
to
my
voice,
and go, fetch [them].
\VS{14}And
he
went,
and fetched
and
brought [them]
to
his
mother.
And
his
mother
prepared
a savoury
dish
such
as
his
father
loved.
\VS{15}And Rebecca
took
the
clothes
of
her
elder
son
Esau,
the costly
ones
which
were
with
her
in
the
house,
and
put
them
on
Jacob
her
younger
son;
\VS{16}and she
put
the
skins
of
the kids
of
the
goats
on
his
hands,
and
on
the smooth
of
his
neck;
\VS{17}and
she
gave
the savoury dishes
and
the
bread
that
she
had
prepared
into
the
hand
of
her
son
Jacob.
\VS{18}And
he
came
to
his
father,
and
said,
My
father!
And
he
said,
Here am
I:
who art thou,
my
son?
\VS{19}And
Jacob
said
to
his
father,
I
am
Esau, thy
firstborn.
I
have
done
according
as thou didst
say
to
me.
Arise,
I
pray thee,
sit
and
eat
of
my venison,
in
order
that thy
soul
may
bless
me.
\VS{20}And
Isaac
said
to
his
son,
How
is
it
that thou hast
found [it]
so
quickly,
my
son?
And
he
said,
Because
Jehovah thy
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 27:20 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God put [it]
in
my
way.
\VS{21}And
Isaac
said
to
Jacob,
Come
near,
I
pray thee,
that
I
may
feel thee,
my
son,
whether thou
be
really
my
son
Esau
or
not.
\VS{22}And
Jacob
drew
near
to
Isaac
his
father;
and
he
felt
him,
and
said,
The
voice
is Jacob's
voice,
but
the
hands
are
the
hands
of
Esau.
\VS{23}And
he
did
not
discern
him,
because
his
hands
were hairy,
as
his
brother Esau's
hands;
and
he
blessed
him.
\VS{24}And
he
said, Art thou
really
my
son
Esau?
And
he
said,
It
is
I.
\VS{25}And
he
said,
Bring [it]
near
to
me,
that
I
may
eat
of
my son's venison,
in
order
that
my
soul
may
bless thee.
And
he
brought [it]
near
to
him,
and
he
ate;
and
he
brought
him
wine,
and
he
drank.
\VS{26}And
his
father
Isaac
said
to
him,
Come
near,
now,
and kiss
me,
my
son.
\VS{27}And
he
came
near,
and
kissed
him.
And
he smelt
the
smell
of
his
clothes,
and
blessed
him,
and
said,
See,
the
smell
of
my
son
is
as
the
smell
of
a
field
which
Jehovah hath
blessed.
\VS{28}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 27:28 }

give thee
of

And races

And let thy mother's

And

\VS{30}And
it
came
to
pass
when
Isaac
had
ended
blessing
Jacob,
and
when
Jacob
was
only
just
gone
out
from
Isaac
his
father,
that
Esau
his
brother
came
from
his hunting.
\VS{31}And
he
also
had
prepared savoury dishes,
and
he
brought [them]
in
to
his
father,
and
said
to
his
father,
Let
my
father
arise
and
eat
of
his son's venison,
in
order
that thy
soul
may
bless
me.
\VS{32}And
Isaac
his
father
said
to
him,
Who art thou?
And
he
said,
I
am thy
son, thy
firstborn,
Esau.
\VS{33}Then
Isaac
trembled
with
exceeding
great
trembling,
and
said,
Who
was
he,
then,
that
hunted venison
and
brought [it]
to
me?
And
I
have
eaten
of
all
before thou camest,
and
have
blessed
him;
also
blessed
he
shall
be.
\VS{34}When
Esau
heard
the
words
of
his
father,
he
cried
with
a
great
and
exceeding
bitter
cry,
and
said
to
his
father,
Bless
me —
me
also,
my
father!
\VS{35}And
he
said, Thy
brother
came
with subtilty,
and
has
taken
away thy
blessing.
\VS{36}And
he
said,
Is
it
not
therefore
he
was
named
Jacob,
for
he
has
supplanted
me
now
twice?
He
took
away
my
birthright,
and
behold,
now
he
has
taken
away
my
blessing.
And
he
said, Hast thou
not
reserved
a
blessing
for
me?
\VS{37}And
Isaac
answered
and
said
to
Esau,
Behold,
I
have
made
him
lord
over thee,
and
all
his
brethren
have
I
given
to
him
for
servants,
and
with corn
and
new
wine
have
I
supplied
him —
and
what
can
I
do
now
for thee,
my
son?
\VS{38}And
Esau
said
to
his
father, Hast thou
then
but
one
blessing,
my
father?
bless
me —
me
also,
my
father!
And
Esau
lifted
up
his
voice
and
wept.
\VS{39}And
Isaac
his
father
answered
and
said
to
him,
Behold, thy
dwelling
shall
be
of
the fatness
of
the
earth,
And
of
the
dew
of
heaven
from
above;
\VS{40}And
by thy
sword shalt thou
live;
And thou shalt
serve thy
brother;
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
when thou rovest
about,
That thou shalt
break
his
yoke
from
off thy
neck.
\VS{41}And
Esau
hated
Jacob
because
of
the
blessing
with
which
his
father
had
blessed
him.
And
Esau
said
in
his
heart,
The
days
of
mourning
for
my
father
are
at hand,
and
I
will
slay
my
brother
Jacob.
\VS{42}And
the
words
of
Esau
her
elder
son
were
told
to Rebecca.
And
she
sent
and
called
Jacob
her
younger
son,
and
said
to
him,
Behold, thy
brother
Esau,
as touching thee,
comforts
himself
that
he
will
kill thee.
\VS{43}And
now,
my
son, hearken
to
my
voice,
and
arise,
flee
to
Laban
my
brother,
to
Haran;
\VS{44}and
abide
with
him
some
days,
until thy brother's
fury
turn
away —
\VS{45}until thy brother's
anger
turn
away
from thee,
and
he
forget
what thou hast
done
to
him;
then
I
will
send
and fetch thee thence.
Why
should
I
be
bereaved
even
of
you
both
in
one
day?
\VS{46}And Rebecca
said
to
Isaac,
I am weary
of
my
life
because
of
the
daughters
of
Heth.
If

he lighted
on

lodged
there,

took [one]
of

made [it]

down
in

was
set
up
on

reached
to

awoke
from

said,
Surely

\par }\Chap{29}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Jacob continued
his
journey,
and
went
into
the
land
of
the
children
of
the
east.
\VS{2}And
he
looked,
and
behold,
there
was
a
well
in
the
fields,
and
behold
there,
three
flocks
of
sheep
were
lying
by
it;
for
out
of
that
well
they
watered
the
flocks,
and
a
great
stone
was
at
the
mouth
of
the
well.
\VS{3}And
when
all
the
flocks
were
gathered
there,
they
rolled
the
stone
from
the
mouth
of
the
well,
and
watered
the
sheep,
and
put
the
stone
again
on
the
mouth
of
the
well
in
its
place.
\VS{4}And
Jacob
said
to
them,
My
brethren, whence
are ye?
And
they
said,
Of
Haran
are
we.
\VS{5}And
he
said
to
them, Do ye
know
Laban
the
son
of
Nahor?
And
they
said, We do
know [him].
\VS{6}And
he
said
to
them,
Is
he
well?
And
they
said, [He
is]
well;
and
behold,
there
comes
Rachel
his
daughter
with
the
sheep.
\VS{7}And
he
said,
Behold,
it
is
yet
high
day;
it
is
not
time
that
the
cattle
should
be
gathered
together;
water
the
sheep,
and
go,
feed [them].
\VS{8}And
they
said,
We
cannot
until
all
the
flocks
are
gathered
together,
and
they
roll
the
stone
from
the
mouth
of
the
well,
and
we
water
the
sheep.
\VS{9}While
he
was
still
speaking
to
them,
Rachel
came
with
her father's
sheep,
for
she
was
a shepherdess.
\VS{10}And
it
came
to
pass
when
Jacob
saw
Rachel
the
daughter
of
Laban
his mother's
brother,
and
the
sheep
of
Laban
his mother's
brother,
that
Jacob
went
near,
and
rolled
the
stone
from
the
mouth
of
the
well,
and
watered
the
sheep
of
Laban
his mother's
brother.
\VS{11}And
Jacob
kissed
Rachel,
and
lifted
up
his
voice
and
wept.
\VS{12}And
Jacob
told
Rachel
that
he
was
a
brother
of
her
father,
and
that
he
was Rebecca's
son;
and
she
ran
and
told
her
father.
\VS{13}And
it
came
to
pass
when
Laban
heard
the tidings
of
Jacob
his sister's
son,
that
he
ran
to
meet
him,
and
embraced
him,
and
kissed
him,
and
brought
him
to
his
house;
and
he
told
Laban
all
these
things.
\VS{14}And
Laban
said
to
him, Thou art
indeed
my
bone
and
my
flesh.
And
he
abode
with
him
a month's
time.
\VS{15}And
Laban
said
to
Jacob,
Because thou art
my
brother, shouldest thou
serve
me
for
nothing?
tell
me,
what
shall
be thy
wages?
\VS{16}And
Laban
had
two
daughters:
the
name
of
the
elder
was
Leah,
and
the
name
of
the
younger,
Rachel.
\VS{17}And
the
eyes
of
Leah
were
tender;
but
Rachel
was
of
beautiful
form
and
beautiful countenance.
\VS{18}And
Jacob
loved
Rachel,
and
said,
I
will
serve thee
seven
years
for
Rachel thy
younger
daughter.
\VS{19}And
Laban
said,
It
is
better
that
I
give
her
to thee
than
that
I
should
give
her
to
another
man:
abide
with
me.
\VS{20}And
Jacob
served
seven
years
for
Rachel;
and
they
were
in
his
eyes
as
single
days,
because
he
loved
her.
\VS{21}And
Jacob
said
to
Laban,
Give [me]
my
wife,
for
my
days
are
fulfilled,
that
I
may
go
in
to
her.
\VS{22}And
Laban
gathered
together
all
the
men
of
the
place,
and
made
a
feast.
\VS{23}And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
evening,
that
he
took
Leah
his
daughter,
and
brought
her
to
him;
and
he
went
in
to
her.
\VS{24}And
Laban
gave
to
her
Zilpah,
his
maidservant,
to
be
maidservant
to
Leah
his
daughter.
\VS{25}And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
morning,
that
behold,
it
was
Leah.
And
he
said
to
Laban,
What
is
this thou hast
done
to
me?
Have
I
not
served thee
for
Rachel?
Why
then hast thou
deceived
me?
\VS{26}And
Laban
said,
It
is
not
so
done
in
our
place,
to
give
the
younger
before
the
firstborn.
\VS{27}Fulfil
the
week [with]
this
one:
then
we
will
give thee
the
other
one
also,
for
the
service
that thou shalt
serve
me
yet
seven
other
years.
\VS{28}And
Jacob
did
so,
and
fulfilled
the
week [with]
this
one,
and
he
gave
him
Rachel
his
daughter
to
be
his
wife.
\VS{29}And
Laban
gave
to
Rachel
his
daughter,
Bilhah,
his
maidservant,
to
be
her
maidservant.
\VS{30}And
he
went
in
also
to
Rachel;
and
he
loved
also
Rachel
more
than
Leah.
And
he
served
with
him
yet
seven
other
years.
\VS{31}And
when
Jehovah
saw
that
Leah
was
hated,
he
opened
her
womb;
but
Rachel
was
barren.
\VS{32}And
Leah
conceived,
and
bore
a
son,
and
called
his
name
Reuben;
for
she
said,
Because
Jehovah
has
looked
upon
my affliction;
for
now
my
husband
will
love
me.
\VS{33}And
she
again
conceived,
and
bore
a
son,
and
said,
Because
Jehovah
has
heard
that
I
am
hated,
he
has
therefore
given
me
this
one
also;
and
she
called
his
name
Simeon.
\VS{34}And
she
again
conceived,
and
bore
a
son,
and
said,
Now
this
time
will
my
husband
be united
to
me,
for
I
have
borne
him
three
sons;
therefore
was
his
name
called
Levi.
\VS{35}And
she
again
conceived,
and
bore
a
son,
and
said,
This
time
will
I
praise
Jehovah;
therefore
she
called
his
name
Judah.
And
she ceased
to
bear.

Rachel
saw
that

bore
Jacob
no

Rachel
envied
her

said
to
Jacob,
Give
me
children,
or
else

\VS{2}And Jacob's
anger
was
kindled
against

said,

in
order
that

built
up

has done

Appoint

how
I
have
served thee,

what thy

has
become

me.
\VS{30}For
it
was
little
that thou hadst
before
me,

it
is
increased
to
a

Jehovah
has
blessed thee
from

I
came;

now,
when
shall
I
also
provide
for
my
house?

he
said,
What
shall
I
give thee?
And
Jacob
said, Thou shalt
not
give
me
anything.
If thou doest
this
for
me,
I
will
again
feed [and]
keep thy
flock:
\VS{32}I
will
pass
through
all thy

to
remove thence
all
the
speckled

spotted

all
the brown

the
spotted

speckled
among

shall
answer
for

spotted
among

among

said, Well,
let

removed

spotted,

that
were
speckled
and
spotted,
every
one
that
had
white
in
it,
and
all
the brown among
the
lambs,
and
gave [them]
into

hand
of

sons.

he
put
three days'
journey
between
himself
and
Jacob.
And
Jacob fed
the
rest
of Laban's
flock.

Jacob
took
fresh
rods
of

poplar, almond-tree,

peeled
off

stripes
in
them, uncovering
the
white
which
was
on
the
rods.
\VS{38}And
he
set
the
rods
which
he
had
peeled
before
the
flock,
in
the
troughs
at
the watering-places
where
the
flock
came
to
drink,
and
they
were ardent
when
they
came
to
drink.
\VS{39}And
the
flock
was ardent
before
the
rods;
and
the
flock
brought
forth ringstraked,
speckled,
and
spotted.
\VS{40}And
Jacob
separated
the
lambs,
and
set
the
faces
of
the
flock
toward
the ringstraked,
and
all
the brown
in
the
flock
of
Laban;
and
he
made
himself
separate
flocks,
and
did
not
put
them
with Laban's
flock.
\VS{41}And
it
came
to
pass whensoever
the strong cattle
were ardent,
that
Jacob
laid
the
rods
before
the
eyes
of
the
flock
in
the gutters,
that
they might
become ardent among
the
rods;
\VS{42}but
when
the
sheep
were feeble,
he
put [them]
not
in;
so
the feeble
were Laban's,
and
the strong Jacob's.
\VS{43}And
the
man
increased
very,
very
much,
and
had
much cattle,
and bondwomen,
and bondmen,
and
camels,
and asses.

\par }\Chap{31}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
he
heard
the
words
of Laban's
sons,
saying,
Jacob
has
taken
away
all
that
was
our father's,
and
of
what
was
our father's
he
has
acquired
all
this
glory.
\VS{2}And
Jacob
saw
the
countenance
of
Laban,
and
behold,
it
was
not
toward
him
as
previously.
\VS{3}And
Jehovah
said
to
Jacob,
Return
into
the
land
of thy
fathers,
and
to thy
kindred;
and
I
will
be
with thee.
\VS{4}And
Jacob
sent
and
called
Rachel
and
Leah
to
the
fields
to
his
flock,
\VS{5}and
said
to
them,
I
see
your father's
countenance,
that
it
is
not
toward
me
as
previously;
but
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 31:5 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
my
father
has
been
with
me.
\VS{6}And
you
know
that
with
all
my
power
I
have
served
your
father.
\VS{7}And
your
father
has
mocked
me,
and
has
changed
my
wages
ten
times;
but
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 31:7 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God suffered
him
not
to hurt
me.
\VS{8}If
he
said
thus;
The
speckled
shall
be thy
hire,
then
all
the
flocks
bore
speckled;
and
if
he
said
thus:
The ringstraked
shall
be thy
hire,
then
all
the
flocks
bore ringstraked.
\VS{9}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 31:9 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
has
taken
away
the
cattle
of
your
father,
and
given [them]
to
me.
\VS{10}And
it
came
to
pass
at
the
time
of
the ardour
of
the
flocks,
that
I
lifted
up mine
eyes,
and
saw
in
a
dream,
and
behold,
the rams
that leaped
upon
the
flocks
were ringstraked,
speckled,
and
spotted.
\VS{11}And
the
Angel
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 31:11 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
said
to
me
in
a
dream,
Jacob!
And
I
said,
Here
am
I.
\VS{12}And
he
said,
Lift
up
now thine
eyes,
and
see:
all
the rams
that leap
upon
the
flock
are ringstraked,
speckled,
and
spotted;
for
I
have
seen
all
that
Laban
does
to thee.
\VS{13}I
am
the
\FTNT{*}{{\FR 31:13 }

El|strong="H0410"}God
of
Bethel,
where thou anointedst
the
pillar,
where thou vowedst
a
vow
to
me.
Now
arise,
depart
out
of
this
land,
and
return
to
the
land
of thy
kindred.
\VS{14}And
Rachel
and
Leah
answered
and
said
to
him,
Is there
yet
any
portion
or
inheritance
for
us
in
our father's
house?
\VS{15}Are
we
not
reckoned
of
him strangers?
for
he
has
sold
us,
and
has
even constantly
devoured
our
money.
\VS{16}For
all
the
wealth
that
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 31:16 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
has
taken
from
our
father
is ours
and
our children's;
and
now
whatever
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 31:16 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
has
said
to thee
do.
\VS{17}And
Jacob
rose
up,
and
set
his
sons
and
his
wives
upon
camels,
\VS{18}and
carried
away
all
his
cattle,
and
all
his
property
that
he
had
acquired —
the
cattle
of
his
possessions
that
he
had
acquired
in Padan-Aram,
to
go
to
Isaac
his
father,
into
the
land
of
Canaan.
\VS{19}And
Laban
had
gone
to
shear
his
sheep.
And
Rachel
stole
the
teraphim
that [belonged]
to
her
father.
\VS{20}And
Jacob
deceived
Laban
the
Syrian,
in
that
he did
not
tell
him
that
he
fled.
\VS{21}And
he
fled
with
all
that
he
had;
and
he
rose
up
and
passed
over
the
river,
and
set
his
face [toward]
mount
Gilead.
\VS{22}And
it
was
told
Laban
on
the
third
day
that
Jacob
had
fled.
\VS{23}And
he
took
his
brethren
with
him,
and
pursued
after
him
seven days'
journey,
and
overtook
him
on
mount
Gilead.
\VS{24}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 31:24 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
came
to
Laban
the
Syrian
in
a
dream
by
night,
and
said
to
him,
Take
care thou
speak
not
to
Jacob
either
good
or
bad.
\VS{25}And
Laban came
up
with
Jacob;
and
Jacob
had
pitched
his
tent
on
the
mountain;
Laban
also
with
his
brethren
pitched
on
mount
Gilead.
\VS{26}And
Laban
said
to
Jacob,
What hast thou
done,
that thou hast
deceived
me,
and hast
carried
away
my
daughters
as
captives
of
war?
\VS{27}Why didst thou
flee
away covertly,
and
steal
away
from
me,
and didst
not
tell
me,
that
I might
have conducted thee
with
mirth
and
with
songs,
with tambour
and
with
harp;
\VS{28}and hast
not suffered
me
to kiss
my
sons
and
my
daughters?
Now thou hast
acted
foolishly.
\VS{29}It
would
be
in
the
power
of
my
hand
to
do
you hurt;
but
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 31:29 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
your
father
spoke
to
me
last
night,
saying,
Take
care
that thou
speak not
to
Jacob
either
good
or
bad.
\VS{30}And
now
that thou
must needs
be
gone,
because thou
greatly longedst
after thy father's
house,
why hast thou
stolen
my
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 31:30 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}gods?
\VS{31}And
Jacob
answered
and
said
to
Laban,
I
was
afraid;
for
I
said,
Lest thou shouldest
take
by
force thy
daughters
from
me.
\VS{32}With whomsoever thou findest thy
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 31:32 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}gods,
he
shall
not
live.
Before
our
brethren
discern
what
is thine
with
me,
and
take [it]
to thee.
But
Jacob
did
not
know
that
Rachel
had
stolen
them.
\VS{33}And
Laban
went
into Jacob's
tent,
and
into Leah's
tent,
and
into
the
two handmaids'
tents,
and
found
nothing;
and
he
went
out
of Leah's
tent,
and
entered
into Rachel's
tent.
\VS{34}Now
Rachel
had
taken
the
teraphim
and
put
them
under
the camel's
saddle;
and
she
sat
upon
them.
And
Laban explored
all
the
tent,
but
found
nothing.
\VS{35}And
she
said
to
her
father,
Let
it
not
be
an occasion
of
anger
in
the
eyes
of
my
lord
that
I
cannot
rise
up
before thee,
for
it
is
with
me
after
the
manner
of
women.
And
he
searched
carefully,
but
did
not
find
the
teraphim.
\VS{36}And
Jacob
was
angry,
and
he disputed
with
Laban.
And
Jacob
answered
and
said
to
Laban,
What
is
my
fault,
what
my
sin,
that thou hast
so
hotly
pursued
after
me?
\VS{37}Whereas thou hast explored
all
my
baggage,
what hast thou
found
of
all thy
household stuff?
Set [it]
here
before
my
brethren
and thy
brethren,
and
let
them
decide
between
us
both.
\VS{38}These
twenty
years
have
I
been
with thee: thy
ewes
and thy she-goats
have
not
cast
their young,
and
the
rams
of thy
flock
I
have
not
eaten.
\VS{39}What
was
torn
I
have
not
brought
to thee;
I
had
to
bear
the
loss
of
it:
of
my
hand hast thou
required
it, [whether]
stolen
by
day
or
stolen
by
night.
\VS{40}Thus
it
was
with
me:
in
the
day
the heat
consumed
me,
and
the
frost
by
night;
and
my
sleep
fled
from mine
eyes.
\VS{41}I
have
been
these
twenty
years
in thy
house:
I
have
served thee
fourteen
years
for thy
two
daughters,
and
six
years
for thy
flock;
and thou hast
changed
my
wages
ten
times.
\VS{42}Had
not
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 31:42 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
my
father,
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 31:42 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
Abraham,
and
the
fear
of
Isaac,
been
with
me,
it
is certain thou wouldest
have
sent
me
away
now
empty.
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 31:42 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
has
looked
upon
my affliction
and
the labour
of
my
hands,
and
has judged
last
night.
\VS{43}And
Laban
answered
and
said
to
Jacob,
The
daughters
are
my
daughters,
and
the
sons
are
my
sons,
and
the
flock
is
my
flock,
and
all
that thou seest
is mine;
but
as
for
my
daughters,
what
can
I
do
this
day
to
them,
or
to
their
sons
whom
they
have
brought
forth?
\VS{44}And
now,
come,
let
us
make
a
covenant,
I
and thou;
and
let
it
be
a
witness
between
me
and thee.
\VS{45}And
Jacob
took
a
stone,
and
set
it
up [for]
a
pillar.
\VS{46}And
Jacob
said
to
his
brethren,
Gather
stones.
And
they
took
stones,
and
made
a
heap,
and
ate
there
upon
the
heap.
\VS{47}And
Laban
called
it
Jegar-sahadutha,
and
Jacob
called
it
Galeed.
\VS{48}And
Laban
said,
This
heap
is
a
witness
between
me
and thee
this
day.
Therefore
was
the
name
of
it
called
Galeed,
\VS{49}—
and
Mizpah;
for
he
said, Let
Jehovah
watch
between
me
and thee,
when
we
shall
be
hidden
one
from
another:
\VS{50}if thou shouldest
afflict
my
daughters,
or
if thou shouldest
take
wives
besides
my
daughters, —
no
man
is
with
us;
see,
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 31:50 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
is
witness
between
me
and thee!
\VS{51}And
Laban
said
to
Jacob,
Behold
this
heap,
and
behold
the
pillar
which
I
have
set up
between
me
and thee:
\VS{52}[let]
this
heap
be
witness,
and
the
pillar
a
witness,
that
neither
I
pass
this
heap [to
go]
to thee,
nor thou
pass
this
heap
and
this
pillar [to come]
to
me,
for
harm.
\VS{53}The
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 31:53 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
Abraham,
and
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 31:53 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
Nahor,
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 31:53 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
their
father,
judge
between
us!
And
Jacob
swore
by
the
fear
of
his
father
Isaac.
\VS{54}And
Jacob
offered
a
sacrifice
upon
the
mountain,
and
invited
his
brethren
to
eat
bread:
and
they
ate
bread,
and lodged
on
the
mountain.
\VS{55}And Laban rose early in the morning, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them; and Laban went and returned to his place.

\par }\Chap{32}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And Jacob
went
on
his way;
and
the angels
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 32:1 }
Elohim}God met
him.
\VS{2}And
when
Jacob saw
them
he said, This
is
the camp
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 32:2 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God.
And
he called
the name
of
that place Mahanaim.
\VS{3}And
Jacob
sent messengers
before
his
face
to
Esau
his brother,
into
the
land
of Seir,
the fields
of Edom.
\VS{4}And
he commanded
them, saying, Thus
shall ye speak
to
my lord,
to
Esau: Thy servant
Jacob speaks thus —
With Laban
have
I sojourned
and tarried until now;
\VS{5}and
I
have oxen,
and asses, sheep,
and bondmen,
and bondwomen;
and
I
have
sent
to
tell
my
lord,
that
I
may find favour
in thine eyes.
\VS{6}And
the
messengers returned
to
Jacob, saying,
We
came
to thy brother,
to Esau;
and
he also
is coming
to
meet thee,
and four hundred
men
with
him.
\VS{7}Then
Jacob
was greatly afraid,
and
was distressed;
and
he divided
the
people
that
were
with
him,
and
the sheep
and
the cattle
and
the camels,
into
two
troops.
\VS{8}And
he said,
If Esau come
to
the
one troop
and smite
it,
then
the
other troop
which
is left
shall escape.
\VS{9}And
Jacob
said,
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 32:9 }
Elohim}God
of
my father
Abraham,
and
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 32:9 }
Elohim}God
of
my father
Isaac, Jehovah,
who saidst unto
me:
Return
into thy country
and
to thy kindred,
and
I
will
do thee good,
\VS{10}—
I
am too
small
for all
the loving-kindness
and all
the faithfulness
that thou hast shewn unto thy servant;
for
with
my staff
I passed
over
this Jordan,
and
now
I
am
become two troops.
\VS{11}Deliver
me,
I pray thee,
from
the hand
of
my brother,
from
the hand
of Esau;
for
I fear
him, lest
he
come
and smite
me, [and]
the mother
with
the children.
\VS{12}And thou saidst,
I
will
certainly deal well
with thee,
and
make thy seed
as
the sand
of
the sea, which cannot
be numbered
for multitude.
\VS{13}And
he lodged
there
that night;
and
took
of
what
came
to
his hand
a gift
for
Esau
his brother —
\VS{14}two hundred she-goats,
and twenty he-goats;
two hundred ewes,
and twenty rams;
\VS{15}thirty milch camels
with their colts; forty kine,
and ten bulls;
twenty she-asses,
and ten young asses.
\VS{16}And
he delivered [them] into
the hand
of
his servants, every drove
by itself;
and
he said
to
his servants, Go
on before
me,
and put
a space between drove
and drove.
\VS{17}And
he
commanded
the foremost,
saying,
When
Esau
my brother meets thee,
and
asks thee,
saying,
Whose art thou,
and
where goest thou,
and
whose
are
these
before thee?
\VS{18}—
then thou shalt
say, Thy servant Jacob's:
it
is
a gift
sent
to
my lord,
to
Esau.
And behold,
he
also
is behind
us.
\VS{19}And
so
commanded
he
the second,
and
the third,
and
all
that
followed
the droves,
saying,
According
to
this
word
shall ye
speak
to
Esau
when ye find
him.
\VS{20}And,
moreover, ye
shall
say, Behold, thy servant
Jacob
is
behind
us.
For
he
said,
I
will propitiate
him
with
the gift
that
goes
before
me,
and
afterwards
I
will see
his face: perhaps
he
will accept
me.
\VS{21}And
the
gift
went
over
before
him;
and
he
himself lodged
that night
in
the camp.
\VS{22}And
he rose
up
that
night,
and took
his two wives,
and
his two maidservants,
and
his eleven sons,
and
passed
over
the ford
of
the Jabbok;
\VS{23}and
he
took
them
and led
them
over
the river,
and led
over what
he
had.
\VS{24}And Jacob remained alone;
and
a man wrestled
with
him until
the rising
of
the dawn.
\VS{25}And
when
he saw
that
he
did not prevail
against
him,
he touched
the joint
of
his thigh;
and
the joint
of Jacob's thigh
was dislocated
as
he
wrestled
with
him.
\VS{26}And
he said,
Let
me go,
for
the dawn ariseth.
And
he said,
I
will
not
let thee go
except thou bless
me.
\VS{27}And
he
said
to
him,
What
is thy
name?
And
he
said,
Jacob.
\VS{28}And
he
said, Thy
name
shall not henceforth
be
called
Jacob,
but Israel;
for thou hast wrestled
with
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 32:28 }
Elohim}God,
and
with
men,
and hast prevailed.
\VS{29}And
Jacob
asked
and
said,
Tell [me],
I pray thee, thy
name.
And
he
said,
How
is
it
that thou askest
after
my
name?
And
he blessed
him there.
\VS{30}And
Jacob
called
the
name
of
the
place Peniel —
For
I
have seen
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 32:30 }
Elohim}God face
to face,
and
my life
has been preserved.
\VS{31}And
as
he passed
over
Peniel,
the sun rose
upon
him;
and
he limped
upon
his hip.
\VS{32}Therefore
the children
of Israel do not eat
of
the sinew
that
is
over
the joint
of
the
thigh,
to
this day;
because
he touched
the joint
of Jacob's
thigh —
the sinew.

\par }\Chap{33}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Jacob
lifted
up
his
eyes
and
looked,
and
behold,
Esau
was
coming,
and
with
him
four
hundred
men.
And
he distributed
the
children
to
Leah,
and
to
Rachel,
and
to
the
two
maidservants:
\VS{2}and

put
the
maidservants

on

and
they
wept.
\VS{5}And
he
lifted
up
his
eyes
and
saw
the
women
and
the
children,
and
said,
Who
are
these
with thee?
And
he
said,
The
children
that
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 33:5 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
has
graciously
given thy
servant.
\VS{6}And
the
maidservants
drew
near,
they
and
their
children,
and
they
bowed.
\VS{7}And
Leah
also,
with
her
children,
drew
near,
and
they
bowed.
And lastly
Joseph
drew
near,
and
Rachel,
and
they
bowed.
\VS{8}And
he
said,
What [meanest] thou
by
all
the drove
which
I
met?
And
he
said,
To
find favour
in
the
eyes
of
my
lord.
\VS{9}And
Esau
said,
I
have
enough,
my
brother;
let
what thou hast
be thine.
\VS{10}And
Jacob
said,
No,
I
pray thee;
if
now
I
have
found favour
in thine
eyes,
then
receive
my
gift
from
my
hand;
for
therefore
have
I
seen thy
face,
as
though
I
had
seen
the
face
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 33:10 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
and thou hast
received
me
with
pleasure.
\VS{11}Take,
I
pray thee,
my
blessing
which
has
been
brought
to thee;
because
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 33:11 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
has
been gracious
to
me,
and
because
I
have
everything.
And
he
urged
him,
and
he
took [it].
\VS{12}And
he
said, Let
us
take
our
journey,
and
go
on,
and
I will
go
before thee.
\VS{13}And
he
said
to
him,
My
lord
knows
that
the
children
are
tender,
and
the
suckling
sheep
and kine
are
with
me;
and
if
they
should overdrive
them
only
one
day,
all
the
flock
would
die.
\VS{14}Let
my
lord,
I
pray thee,
pass
on
before
his
servant,
and
I
will drive
on
at
my ease
according
to
the
pace
of
the
cattle
that
is
before
me,
and
according
to
the
pace
of
the
children,
until
I
come
to
my
lord,
to
Seir.
\VS{15}And
Esau
said,
Let
me
now
leave
with thee [some]
of
the
people
that
are
with
me.
And
he
said,
What need?
Let
me
find favour
in
the
eyes
of
my
lord.
\VS{16}And
Esau
returned
that
day
on
his
way
to
Seir.
\VS{17}And
Jacob
journeyed
to
Succoth,
and
built
himself
a
house,
and
for
his
cattle
he
made
booths.
Therefore
the
name
of
the
place
was
called
Succoth.
\VS{18}And
Jacob
came
safely [to
the]
city
Shechem,
which
is
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
when
he
came
from Padan-Aram;
and
he
encamped
before
the
city.
\VS{19}And
he
bought
the
portion
of
the
field
where
he
had
spread
his
tent,
of
the
hand
of
the
sons
of
Hamor, Shechem's
father,
for
a
hundred kesitahs.
\VS{20}And
there
he
set
up
an
altar,
and
called
it El-Elohe-Israel.

\par }\Chap{34}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Dinah
the
daughter
of
Leah,
whom
she
had
borne
to
Jacob,
went
out
to
see
the
daughters
of
the
land.
\VS{2}And
when
Shechem,
the
son
of
Hamor
the
Hivite,
the
prince
of
the
country,
saw
her,
he
took
her,
and
lay
with
her,
and humbled
her.
\VS{3}And
his
soul fastened
on
Dinah
the
daughter
of
Jacob,
and
he
loved
the maiden,
and
spoke consolingly
to
the maiden.
\VS{4}And
Shechem
spoke
to
his
father
Hamor,
saying,
Take
me
this
girl
as
wife.
\VS{5}And
Jacob
heard
that
he
had
defiled
Dinah
his
daughter;
but
his
sons
were
with
his
cattle
in
the
fields,
and
Jacob
said nothing
until
they
came.
\VS{6}And
Hamor
the
father
of
Shechem
came
out
to
Jacob,
to
speak
to
him.
\VS{7}And
the
sons
of
Jacob
came
from
the
fields
when
they
heard [it];
and
the
men
were
grieved,
and
they
were
very
angry,
because
he
had wrought
what
was
disgraceful
in
Israel,
in
lying
with Jacob's
daughter, which
thing ought
not
to
be
done.
\VS{8}And
Hamor
spoke
to
them,
saying,
My
son Shechem's
soul cleaves
to
your
daughter:
I
pray
you,
give
her
to
him
as
wife.
\VS{9}And
make marriages
with
us:
give
your
daughters
to
us,
and
take
our
daughters
to
you.
\VS{10}And
dwell
with
us,
and
the
land
shall
be
before
you:
dwell
and
trade
in
it,
and get yourselves
possessions
in
it.
\VS{11}And
Shechem
said
to
her
father
and
to
her
brethren,
Let
me
find favour
in
your
eyes;
and
what ye
shall
say
to
me
I
will
give.
\VS{12}Impose
on
me
very
much
as
dowry
and
gift,
and
I
will
give
according
as ye
shall
say
to
me;
but
give
me
the maiden
as
wife.
\VS{13}And
the
sons
of
Jacob
answered
Shechem
and
Hamor
his
father
deceitfully,
and
spoke —
because
he
had
defiled
Dinah
their
sister —
\VS{14}and
said
to
them,
We
cannot
do
this,
to
give
our
sister
to
one
that
is
uncircumcised;
for
that [were]
a
reproach
to
us.
\VS{15}But
only
in
this
will
we
consent
to
you,
if ye
will
be
as
we,
that
every
male
of
you
be
circumcised;
\VS{16}then
will
we
give
our
daughters
to
you,
and
take
your
daughters
to
us,
and
we
will
dwell
with
you,
and
be
one
people.
\VS{17}But
if ye
do
not hearken
to
us,
to
be
circumcised,
then
will
we
take
our
daughter
and
go
away.
\VS{18}And their
words
were
good
in
the
eyes
of
Hamor
and
Shechem, Hamor's
son.
\VS{19}And
the
youth
did
not
delay
to
do
this,
because
he
had
delight
in Jacob's
daughter.
And
he
was honourable above
all
in
the
house
of
his
father.
\VS{20}And
Hamor
and
Shechem
his
son
came
to
the
gate
of
their
city,
and
spoke
to
the
men
of
their
city,
saying,
\VS{21}These
men
are peaceable
with
us;
therefore
let
them
dwell
in
the
land,
and
trade
in
it.
And
the
land —
behold,
it
is
of
wide extent
before
them.
We
will
take
their
daughters
as
wives,
and
give
them
our
daughters.
\VS{22}But
only
in
this
will
the
men
consent
to
us
to
dwell
with
us,
to
be
one
people —
if
every
male
among
us
be
circumcised,
just
as
they
are
circumcised.
\VS{23}Their
cattle,
and
their
possessions,
and
every
beast
of
theirs,
shall
they
not
be ours?
only
let
us
consent
to
them,
and
they
will
dwell
with
us.
\VS{24}And
all
that
went
out
at
the
gate
of
his
city hearkened
to
Hamor
and
to
Shechem
his
son;
and
every
male
was
circumcised —
all
that
went
out
at
the
gate
of
his
city.
\VS{25}And
it
came
to
pass
on
the
third
day,
when
they
were sore,
that
two
of
the
sons
of
Jacob,
Simeon
and
Levi, Dinah's
brethren,
took
each
his
sword,
and
came
upon
the
city boldly,
and
slew
all
the
males.
\VS{26}And
Hamor
and
Shechem
his
son
they
slew
with
the
edge
of
the
sword;
and
took
Dinah
out
of Shechem's
house;
and
went
out.
\VS{27}The
sons
of
Jacob
came
upon
the
slain,
and
plundered
the
city,
because
they
had
defiled
their
sister.
\VS{28}Their
sheep,
and
their
oxen,
and
their asses,
and
what [was]
in
the
city,
and
what [was]
in
the
field
they
took;
\VS{29}and
all
their
goods,
and
all
their
little
ones,
and
their
wives
took
they
captive,
and
plundered
them,
and
all
that
was
in
the
houses.
\VS{30}And
Jacob
said
to
Simeon
and
Levi, Ye
have
troubled
me,
in
that ye make
me
odious
among
the
inhabitants
of
the
land —
among
the
Canaanites
and
the
Perizzites;
and
I
am
few
men
in
number,
and
they
will
gather
themselves
against
me
and
smite
me,
and
I
shall
be
destroyed,
I
and
my
house.
\VS{31}And
they
said,
Should people
deal
with our
sister as
with
a
harlot?

\par }\Chap{37}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Jacob
dwelt
in
the
land
where
his
father
sojourned —
in
the
land
of
Canaan.
\VS{2}These
are
the
generations
of
Jacob.
Joseph,
being
seventeen
years
old, fed
the
flock
with
his
brethren;
and
he
was
doing service
with
the
sons
of
Bilhah,
and
with
the
sons
of
Zilpah,
his father's
wives.
And
Joseph
brought
to
his
father
an
evil
report
of
them.
\VS{3}And
Israel
loved
Joseph
more
than
all
his
sons,
because
he
was
son
of
his
old
age;
and
he
made
him
a vest
of many colours.
\VS{4}And
his
brethren
saw
that
their
father
loved
him
more
than
all
his
brethren,
and
they
hated
him,
and
could
not
greet
him
with friendliness.
\VS{5}And
Joseph
dreamed
a
dream,
and
told [it]
to
his
brethren,
and they
hated
him
yet
the
more.
\VS{6}And
he
said
to
them,
Hear,
I
pray
you,
this
dream,
which
I
have dreamt:
\VS{7}Behold,
we
were
binding
sheaves
in
the
fields,
and
lo,
my
sheaf
rose
up,
and
remained
standing;
and
behold,
your
sheaves came
round
about
and
bowed
down
to
my
sheaf.
\VS{8}And
his
brethren
said
to
him, Wilt thou
indeed
be
a
king
over
us? wilt thou
indeed
rule
over
us?
And
they
hated
him
yet
the
more
for
his
dreams
and
for
his
words.
\VS{9}And
he
dreamed
yet
another
dream,
and
told
it
to
his
brethren,
and
said,
Behold,
I
have dreamt
another
dream,
and
behold,
the
sun
and
the
moon
and
eleven
stars
bowed
down
to
me.
\VS{10}And
he
told [it]
to
his
father
and
to
his
brethren.
And
his
father
rebuked
him,
and
said
to
him,
What
is
this
dream
which thou hast dreamt?
Shall
we
indeed
come,
I
and thy
mother
and thy
brethren,
to
bow
down
ourselves
to thee
to
the
earth?
\VS{11}And
his
brethren
envied
him; but
his
father
kept
the
saying.
\VS{12}And his
brethren went
to
feed their father's
flock
at
Shechem.
\VS{13}And
Israel
said
to
Joseph, Do
not thy
brethren
feed [the flock]
at
Shechem? Come,
that
I
may
send thee
to
them.
And
he
said
to
him,
Here am
I.
\VS{14}And
he
said
to
him,
Go,
I
pray thee,
see after
the
welfare
of thy
brethren,
and after
the
welfare
of
the
flock;
and
bring
me
word
again.
And
he
sent
him
out
of
the vale
of
Hebron;
and
he
came towards
Shechem.
\VS{15}And
a
man
found
him,
and
behold,
he
was
wandering
in
the
country;
and
the
man
asked
him,
saying,
What seekest thou?
\VS{16}And
he
said,
I
am
seeking
my
brethren:
tell
me,
I
pray thee,
where
they
feed [their flocks].
\VS{17}And
the
man
said,
They
have
removed
from
this;
for
I
heard
them
say, Let
us
go
to
Dothan.
And
Joseph
went
after
his
brethren,
and
found
them
at
Dothan.
\VS{18}And
when
they
saw
him
from
afar,
and
before
he
came
near
to
them,
they conspired
against
him
to
put
him
to
death.
\VS{19}And
they
said
one
to
another,
Behold,
there
comes
that dreamer!
\VS{20}And
now
come
and
let
us
kill
him,
and
cast
him
into
one
of
the
pits,
and
we
will
say,
An
evil
beast
has
devoured
him;
and
we
will
see
what
becomes
of
his
dreams.
\VS{21}And
Reuben
heard [it],
and
delivered
him
out
of
their
hand,
and
said,
Let
us
not
take
his
life.
\VS{22}And
Reuben
said
to
them,
Shed
no
blood:
cast
him
into
this
pit
which
is
in
the
wilderness;
but
lay
no
hand
upon
him —
in
order
that
he
might
deliver
him
out
of
their
hand,
to
bring
him
to
his
father
again.
\VS{23}And
it
came
to
pass
when
Joseph
came
to
his
brethren,
that
they
stripped
Joseph
of
his vest,
the vest
of many colours,
which
he
had
on;
\VS{24}and
they
took
him
and
cast
him
into
the
pit;
now
the
pit
was
empty —
there
was
no
water
in
it.
\VS{25}And
they
sat
down
to
eat
bread;
and
they
lifted
up
their
eyes
and
looked,
and
behold,
a
caravan
of
Ishmaelites
came
from
Gilead;
and
their
camels
bore tragacanth,
and balsam,
and ladanum —
going
to
carry [it]
down
to
Egypt.
\VS{26}And
Judah
said
to
his
brethren,
What
profit
is
it
that
we
kill
our
brother
and secrete
his
blood?
\VS{27}Come
and
let
us
sell
him
to
the
Ishmaelites;
but
let
not
our
hand
be
upon
him;
for
he
is
our
brother,
our
flesh.
And
his
brethren hearkened [to
him].
\VS{28}And Midianitish
men,
merchants,
passed
by;
and
they
drew
and
lifted
up
Joseph
out
of
the
pit,
and
sold
Joseph
to
the
Ishmaelites
for
twenty silver-pieces;
and
they
brought
Joseph
to
Egypt.
\VS{29}And
Reuben
returned
to
the
pit,
and
behold,
Joseph [was]
not
in
the
pit;
and
he rent
his
garments,
\VS{30}and
returned
to
his
brethren,
and
said,
The
child
is
not;
and
I,
where
shall
I
go?
\VS{31}And
they
took Joseph's vest,
and
slaughtered
a buck
of
the
goats,
and
dipped
the vest
in
the
blood;
\VS{32}and
they
sent
the vest
of many colours
and
had
it
carried
to
their
father,
and
said,
This
have
we
found:
discern
now
whether
it
is thy son's vest
or
not.
\VS{33}And
he discerned
it,
and
said, [It
is]
my son's vest!
an
evil
beast
has
devoured
him:
Joseph
is without doubt rent
in
pieces!
\VS{34}And
Jacob rent
his
clothes,
and
put
sackcloth
on
his
loins,
and
mourned
for
his
son
many
days.
\VS{35}And
all
his
sons
and
all
his
daughters
rose
up
to
comfort
him,
but
he
refused
to
be
comforted,
and
said,
For
I
will
go
down
to
my
son
into
Sheol
mourning. Thus
his
father
wept
for
him.
\VS{36}And
the Midianites
sold
him
into
Egypt,
to
Potiphar,
a chamberlain
of
Pharaoh,
the
captain
of
the life-guard.

\par }\Chap{38}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
it
came
to
pass
at
that
time,
that
Judah
went
down
from
his
brethren,
and
turned
in
to
a
man
of Adullam
whose
name
was
Hirah.
\VS{2}And
Judah
saw
there
the
daughter
of
a Canaanitish
man
whose
name
was
Shua;
and
he
took
her,
and
went
in
to
her.
\VS{3}And
she
conceived
and
bore
a
son;
and
he
called
his
name
Er.
\VS{4}And
she
again
conceived
and
bore
a
son,
and
she
called
his
name
Onan.
\VS{5}And
again
she
bore
a
son,
and
she
called
his
name
Shelah;
and
he
was
at
Chezib
when
she
bore
him.
\VS{6}And
Judah
took
a
wife
for
Er
his
firstborn,
and
her
name
was
Tamar.
\VS{7}And
Er, Judah's
firstborn,
was
wicked
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
and
Jehovah slew
him.
\VS{8}Then
Judah
said
to
Onan,
Go
in
to thy brother's
wife,
and fulfil
to
her
the brother-in-law's
duty,
and
raise
up
seed
to thy
brother.
\VS{9}But
when
Onan
knew
that
the
seed
should
not
be
his
own,
it
came
to
pass
when
he
went
in
to
his brother's
wife,
that
he spilled [it]
on
the
ground,
in order
to
give
no
seed
to
his
brother.
\VS{10}And
the thing
which
he
did
was
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
and
he slew
him
also.
\VS{11}And
Judah
said
to
Tamar
his
daughter-in-law,
Remain
a
widow
in thy father's
house,
until
Shelah
my
son
is
grown;
for
he
said,
Lest
he
die
also,
as
his
brethren.
And
Tamar
went
and
remained
in
her father's
house.
\VS{12}And
as
the
days
were
multiplied, Judah's
wife,
the
daughter
of
Shua,
died.
And
Judah
was
comforted,
and
he
went
up
to
his sheep-shearers,
to
Timnah,
he
and
his
friend
Hirah
the
Adullamite.
\VS{13}And
it
was
told
Tamar,
saying,
Behold thy
father-in-law
is
going
up
to
Timnah
to
shear
his
sheep.
\VS{14}And
she
put
the
garments
of
her
widowhood
off
from
her,
and
covered
herself
with
a
veil,
and
wrapped
herself,
and
sat
in
the
entry
of Enaim,
which
is
on
the
way
to
Timnah;
for
she
saw
that
Shelah
was
grown,
and
she
was
not
given
to
him
as
wife.
\VS{15}And
Judah
saw
her,
and took
her
for
a
harlot;
because
she
had
covered
her
face.
\VS{16}And
he
turned
aside
to
her
by
the
way,
and
said,
Come,
I
pray thee,
let
me
go
in
to thee;
for
he
did
not
know
that
she
was
his
daughter-in-law.
And
she
said,
What wilt thou
give
me,
that thou mayest
come
in
to
me?
\VS{17}And
he
said,
I
will
send [thee]
a kid
of
the
goats
from
the
flock.
And
she
said, Wilt thou
give [me]
a
pledge,
until thou
send
it?
\VS{18}And
he
said,
What
pledge
shall
I
give thee?
And
she
said, Thy
signet,
and thy lace,
and thy
staff
which
is
in thy
hand.
And
he
gave [it]
her,
and
went
in
to
her;
and
she
conceived
by
him.
\VS{19}And
she
arose
and
went
away;
and
she laid
by
her
veil
from
her,
and
put
on
the
garments
of
her
widowhood.
\VS{20}And
Judah
sent
the kid
of
the
goats
by
the
hand
of
his
friend
the
Adullamite,
to
receive
the
pledge
from
the woman's
hand;
but
he
found
her
not.
\VS{21}And
he
asked
the
men
of
her
place,
saying,
Where
is
the prostitute
that
was
at Enaim,
by
the way-side?
And
they
said,
There
was
no prostitute
here.
\VS{22}And
he
returned
to
Judah,
and
said,
I
have
not
found
her;
and
also
the
men
of
the
place
said,
No prostitute
has
been
here.
\VS{23}Then
Judah
said,
Let
her
take [it]
for herself,
lest
we
be
put
to shame.
Behold,
I
sent
this kid,
and thou hast
not
found
her.
\VS{24}And
it
came
to
pass
about
three
months
after,
that
it
was
told
Judah,
saying,
Tamar thy
daughter-in-law
has
committed fornication,
and
behold,
she
is
also
with
child
by fornication.
And
Judah
said,
Bring
her
forth,
that
she
may
be
burned.
\VS{25}When
she
was
brought
forth,
she
sent
to
her
father-in-law,
saying,
By
the
man
to
whom
these [belong]
am
I
with
child;
and
she
said,
Acknowledge,
I
pray thee,
whose
are
this signet,
and
this lace,
and
this
staff.
\VS{26}And
Judah
acknowledged [them],
and
said,
She
is
more
righteous
than
I,
because
I
have
not
given
her
to
Shelah
my
son.
And
he
knew
her
again
no
more.
\VS{27}And
it
came
to
pass
at
the
time
of
her
delivery,
that
behold,
twins
were
in
her
womb.
\VS{28}And
it
came
to
pass
when she
brought
forth,
that
one stretched
out [his]
hand,
and
the
midwife
took
it
and
bound round
his
hand
a
scarlet thread,
saying,
This
came
out
first.
\VS{29}And
it
came
to
pass
as
he
drew
back
his
hand,
that
behold,
his
brother
came
out;
and
she
said,
How hast thou
broken
forth!
on thee
be
the
breach!
And
they
called
his
name Pherez.
\VS{30}And
afterwards
came
out
his
brother, round
whose
hand
was
the
scarlet thread;
and
they
called
his
name
Zerah.

refused,
and
said
to
his master's
wife,
Behold,
my
master
takes cognizance
of
nothing
with
me:
what
is
in
the
house,
and
all
that
he
has,
he
has
given
into
my
hand.
\VS{9}There
is
none
greater
in
this
house
than
I;
neither
has
he
withheld
anything
from
me
but thee,
because thou art
his
wife;
and
how
should
I
do
this
great
wickedness,
and
sin
against
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 39:9 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God?
\VS{10}And
it
came
to
pass
as
she
spoke
to
Joseph
day
by
day
and
he hearkened
not
to
her,
to
lie
with
her [and]
to
be
with
her,
\VS{11}that
on
a
certain
day
he
went
into
the
house
to
do
his
business,
and
there
was
none
of
the
men
of
the
house
there
in
the
house.
\VS{12}Then
she
caught
him
by
his
garment,
saying,
Lie
with
me!
But
he
left
his
garment
in
her
hand,
and
fled
and
ran
out.
\VS{13}And
it
came
to
pass,
when
she
saw
that
he
had
left
his
garment
in
her
hand
and
had
fled forth,
\VS{14}that
she
called
to
the
men
of
her
house,
and
spoke
to
them,
saying,
See,
he
has
brought
in
a
Hebrew
man
to
us,
to mock
us:
he
came
in
to
me,
to
lie
with
me;
and
I
cried
with
a
loud
voice;
\VS{15}and
it
came
to
pass
when
he
heard
that
I
lifted
up
my
voice
and
cried,
that
he
left
his
garment
with
me,
and
fled
and
went
out.
\VS{16}And
she
laid
his
garment
by
her
until
his
lord
came
home.
\VS{17}And
she
spoke
to
him
according
to
these
words,
saying,
The
Hebrew bondman
that thou hast
brought
to
us
came
in
to
me
to mock
me;
\VS{18}and
it
came
to
pass
as
I
lifted
up
my
voice
and
cried,
that
he
left
his
garment
with
me,
and
fled forth.
\VS{19}And
it
came
to
pass
when
his
lord
heard
the
words
of
his
wife
which
she
spoke
to
him,
saying,
After
this
manner
did thy bondman
to
me,
that
his
wrath
was
kindled.
\VS{20}And Joseph's
lord
took
him
and
put
him
into
the tower-house, [the]
place
where
the king's
prisoners
were
confined;
and
he
was
there
in
the tower-house.
\VS{21}And
Jehovah
was
with
Joseph,
and
extended
mercy
to
him,
and
gave
him favour
in
the
eyes
of
the
chief
of
the tower-house.
\VS{22}And
the
chief
of
the tower-house
committed
to Joseph's
hand
all
the
prisoners
that
were
in
the tower-house;
and
whatever
they
had
to
do
there
he
did.
\VS{23}The
chief
of
the tower-house
looked
not
to
anything
under
his
hand,
because
Jehovah
was
with
him;
and
what
he
did,
Jehovah
made
it
prosper.

\par }\Chap{40}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
it
came
to
pass
after
these
things, [that]
the cup-bearer
of
the
king
of
Egypt
and
the
baker
offended
their
lord
the
king
of
Egypt.
\VS{2}And
Pharaoh
was wroth
with
his
two chamberlains —
with
the
chief
of
the cup-bearers
and
with
the
chief
of
the
bakers;
\VS{3}and
he
put
them
in
custody
into
the
house
of
the
captain
of
the life-guard,
into
the tower-house,
into
the
place
where
Joseph
was
imprisoned.
\VS{4}And
the
captain
of
the life-guard
appointed
Joseph
to
them,
that
he
should
attend
on
them.
And
they
were [several]
days
in
custody.
\VS{5}And
they
dreamed
a
dream,
both
of
them
in
one
night,
each
his
dream,
each
according
to
the
interpretation
of
his
dream,
the cup-bearer
and
the
baker
of
the
king
of
Egypt,
who
were
imprisoned
in
the tower-house.
\VS{6}And
Joseph
came
in
to
them
in
the
morning,
and
looked
on
them,
and
behold,
they
were sad.
\VS{7}And
he
asked Pharaoh's chamberlains
that
were
with
him
in
custody
in
his lord's
house,
saying,
Why
are
your
faces [so] sad to-day?
\VS{8}And
they
said
to
him,
We
have dreamt
a
dream,
and
there
is
no interpreter
of
it.
And
Joseph
said
to
them, [Do]
not
interpretations [belong]
to
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 40:8 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God?
tell
me [your
dreams],
I
pray
you.
\VS{9}Then
the
chief
of
the cup-bearers
told
his
dream
to
Joseph,
and
said
to
him,
In
my
dream,
behold,
a
vine
was
before
me;
\VS{10}and
in
the
vine
were
three
branches;
and
it
was
as
though
it
budded:
its blossoms shot forth,
its
clusters
ripened
into
grapes.
\VS{11}And Pharaoh's
cup
was
in
my
hand;
and
I
took
the
grapes,
and pressed
them
into Pharaoh's
cup,
and
gave
the
cup
into Pharaoh's
hand.
\VS{12}And
Joseph
said
to
him,
This
is
the
interpretation
of it:
the
three
branches
are
three
days.
\VS{13}In
yet
three
days
will
Pharaoh
lift
up thy
head
and
restore thee
to thy
place,
and thou shalt
deliver Pharaoh's
cup
into
his
hand,
after
the
former
manner
when thou wast
his cup-bearer.
\VS{14}Only bear
a
remembrance
with thee
of
me
when
it
goes
well
with thee,
and
deal kindly,
I
pray thee,
with
me,
and
make
mention
of
me
to
Pharaoh,
and
bring
me
out
of
this
house;
\VS{15}for
indeed
I
was
stolen
out
of
the
land
of
the
Hebrews,
and
here
also
have
I
done
nothing
that
they
should
put
me
into
the dungeon.
\VS{16}And
when
the
chief
of
the
bakers
saw
that
the
interpretation
was
good,
he
said
to
Joseph,
I
also
was
in
my
dream,
and
behold,
three
baskets
of
white
bread
were
on
my
head.
\VS{17}And
in
the uppermost
basket
there
were
all manner
of victuals
for
Pharaoh
that
the
baker makes,
and
the
birds
ate
them
out
of
the
basket
upon
my
head.
\VS{18}And
Joseph
answered
and
said,
This
is
the
interpretation
of it:
the
three
baskets
are
three
days.
\VS{19}In
yet
three
days
will
Pharaoh
lift
up thy
head
from
off thee,
and
hang thee
on
a
tree;
and
the
birds
will
eat thy
flesh
from
off thee.
\VS{20}And
it
came
to
pass
the
third
day — Pharaoh's
birthday —
that
he
made
a
feast
to
all
his bondmen.
And
he
lifted
up
the
head
of
the
chief
of
the cup-bearers,
and
the
head
of
the
chief
of
the
bakers
among
his bondmen.
\VS{21}And
he
restored
the
chief
of
the cup-bearers
to
his office
of cup-bearer
again;
and
he
gave
the
cup
into Pharaoh's
hand.
\VS{22}And
he
hanged
the
chief
of
the
bakers,
as
Joseph
had
interpreted
to
them.
\VS{23}But
the
chief
of
the cup-bearers
did
not
remember
Joseph,
and
forgot
him.

\par }\Chap{41}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
it
came
to
pass
at
the
end
of two
full
years,
that
Pharaoh
dreamed,
and
behold,
he
stood
by
the
river.
\VS{2}And
behold,
there
came
up
out
of
the
river
seven kine,
fine-looking
and fat-fleshed,
and
they fed
in
the reed-grass.
\VS{3}And
behold,
seven
other kine
came
up
after
them
out
of
the
river,
bad-looking
and lean-fleshed,
and
stood
by
the kine
on
the
bank
of
the
river.
\VS{4}And
the kine
that were
bad-looking
and lean-fleshed
ate
up
the
seven kine
that were
fine-looking
and
fat.
And
Pharaoh
awoke.
\VS{5}And
he
slept
and
dreamed
the
second
time;
and
behold,
seven
ears
of corn
grew
up
on
one
stalk,
fat
and
good.
\VS{6}And
behold,
seven
ears,
thin
and parched
with
the
east
wind,
sprung
up
after
them.
\VS{7}And
the
thin
ears devoured
the
seven
fat
and
full
ears.
And
Pharaoh
awoke;
and
behold,
it
was
a
dream.
\VS{8}And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
morning,
that
his
spirit
was
troubled;
and
he
sent
and
called
for
all
the
scribes
of
Egypt,
and
all
the sages
who
were therein,
and
Pharaoh
told
them
his
dream;
but [there
was]
none
to
interpret
them
to
Pharaoh.
\VS{9}Then
spoke
the
chief
of
the cup-bearers
to
Pharaoh,
saying,
I
remember mine offences
this
day.
\VS{10}Pharaoh
was wroth
with
his bondmen,
and
put
me
in
custody
into
the
captain
of
the life-guard's
house,
me
and
the
chief
of
the
bakers.
\VS{11}And
we
dreamed
a
dream
in
one
night,
I
and
he;
we
dreamed
each
according
to
the
interpretation
of
his
dream.
\VS{12}And
there
was
there
with
us
a
Hebrew
youth,
a bondman
of
the
captain
of
the life-guard,
to whom
we
told [them],
and
he
interpreted
to
us
our
dreams;
to
each
he
interpreted
according
to
his
dream.
\VS{13}And
it
came
to
pass,
just
as
he
interpreted
to
us,
so
it
came
about:
me
has
he
restored
to
my office,
and
him
he
hanged.
\VS{14}Then
Pharaoh
sent
and
called
Joseph;
and
they
brought
him hastily
out
of
the dungeon.
And
he
shaved [himself],
and
changed
his
clothes,
and
came
in
to
Pharaoh.
\VS{15}And
Pharaoh
said
to
Joseph,
I
have dreamt
a
dream,
and
there
is
none
to
interpret
it.
And
I
have
heard
say
of thee, thou understandest
a
dream
to
interpret
it.
\VS{16}And
Joseph
answered
Pharaoh,
saying,
It
is not
in
me:
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 41:16 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
will
give
Pharaoh
an
answer
of
peace.
\VS{17}And
Pharaoh
said
to
Joseph,
In
my
dream,
behold,
I
stood
on
the
bank
of
the
river.
\VS{18}And
behold,
there
came
up
out
of
the
river
seven kine, fat-fleshed
and
of
fine
form,
and
they fed
in
the reed-grass.
\VS{19}And
behold,
seven
other kine
came
up
after
them, poor,
and
very ill-formed,
and lean-fleshed —
such
as
I
never
saw
in
all
the
land
of
Egypt
for badness.
\VS{20}And
the
lean
and
bad kine
ate
up
the
seven
first
fat kine;
\VS{21}and
they
came
into
their belly,
and
it could
not
be
known
that
they
had
come
into
their belly;
and
their look
was
bad,
as
at
the
beginning.
And
I
awoke.
\VS{22}And
I
saw
in
my
dream,
and
behold,
seven
ears
came
up
on
one
stalk,
full
and
good.
\VS{23}And
behold,
seven
ears,
withered,
thin, parched
with
the
east
wind,
sprung
up
after
them;
\VS{24}and
the
thin
ears devoured
the
seven
good
ears.
And
I
told
it
to
the scribes;
but
there
was
none
to
make
it
known
to
me.
\VS{25}And
Joseph
said
to
Pharaoh,
The
dream
of
Pharaoh
is
one.
What
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 41:25 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
will
do
he
has
made
known
to
Pharaoh.
\VS{26}The
seven fine kine
are
seven
years;
and
the
seven
good
ears
are
seven
years:
the
dream
is
one.
\VS{27}And
the
seven
lean
and
bad kine
that
came
up
after
them
are
seven
years;
and
the
seven
empty
ears, parched
with
the
east
wind,
will
be
seven
years
of
famine.
\VS{28}This
is
the
word
which
I
have
spoken
to
Pharaoh:
what
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 41:28 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
is
about
to
do
he
has let
Pharaoh
see.
\VS{29}Behold,
there
come
seven
years
of
great
plenty
throughout
the
land
of
Egypt.
\VS{30}And
there
will
arise
after
them
seven
years
of
famine;
and
all
the
plenty
will
be
forgotten
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
and
the
famine
will
waste
away
the
land.
\VS{31}And
the
plenty
will
not
be
known
afterwards
in
the
land
by
reason
of
that
famine;
for
it
will
be
very
grievous.
\VS{32}And
as regards
the double repetition
of
the
dream
to
Pharaoh,
it
is
that
the
thing
is
established
by
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 41:32 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
and
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 41:32 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
will
hasten
to
do
it.
\VS{33}And
now
let
Pharaoh
look
himself
out
a
man discreet
and
wise,
and
set
him
over
the
land
of
Egypt.
\VS{34}Let
Pharaoh
do [this]:
let
him
appoint
overseers
over
the
land,
and
take
the
fifth
part
of
the
land
of
Egypt during
the
seven
years
of
plenty,
\VS{35}and let
them
gather
all
the
food
of
these
coming
good
years,
and lay
up corn
under
the
hand
of
Pharaoh,
for
food
in
the
cities,
and
keep [it].
\VS{36}And
let
the
food
be
as store
for
the
land
for
the
seven
years
of
famine,
which
will
be
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
that
the
land
perish
not
through
the
famine.
\VS{37}And
the
word
was
good
in
the
eyes
of
Pharaoh,
and
in
the
eyes
of
all
his bondmen.
\VS{38}And
Pharaoh
said
to
his bondmen,
Shall
we
find [one]
as
this,
a
man
in
whom
the
Spirit
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 41:38 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
is?
\VS{39}And
Pharaoh
said
to
Joseph,
Since
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 41:39 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
has
made
all
this
known
to thee,
there
is
none [so] discreet
and
wise
as thou.
\VS{40}Thou shalt
be
over
my
house,
and
according
to thy
commandment
shall
all
my
people regulate
themselves;
only
concerning
the
throne
will
I
be
greater
than thou.
\VS{41}And
Pharaoh
said
to
Joseph,
See,
I
have
set thee
over
all
the
land
of
Egypt.
\VS{42}And
Pharaoh
took
off
his
ring
from
his
hand,
and
put
it
on Joseph's
hand,
and
arrayed
him
in
clothes
of byssus,
and
put
a
gold
chain
on
his
neck.
\VS{43}And
he
caused
him
to
ride
in
the
second
chariot
that
he
had;
and
they
cried
before
him,
Bow
the
knee!
and
he
set
him
over
all
the
land
of
Egypt.
\VS{44}And
Pharaoh
said
to
Joseph,
I
am
Pharaoh;
and
without thee
shall
no
man
lift
up
his
hand
or
his
foot
in
all
the
land
of
Egypt.
\VS{45}And
Pharaoh
called Joseph's
name Zaphnath-paaneah,
and
gave
him
as
wife Asnath
the
daughter
of Potipherah
the
priest
in
On.
And
Joseph
went
out
over
the
land
of
Egypt.
\VS{46}And
Joseph
was
thirty
years
old
when
he
stood
before
Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt.
And
Joseph
went
out
from
Pharaoh,
and
passed
through
the
whole
land
of
Egypt.
\VS{47}And
in
the
seven
years
of
plenty
the
land
brought forth
by handfuls.
\VS{48}And
he
gathered
up
all
the
food
of
the
seven
years
that
was
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
and
put
the
food
in
the
cities;
the
food
of
the
fields
of
the
city,
which
were
round
about
it,
he
laid
up
in
it.
\VS{49}And
Joseph laid
up corn
as
sand
of
the
sea
exceeding
much,
until
they left
off
numbering;
for
it
was
without
number.
\VS{50}And
to
Joseph
were
born
two
sons
before
the
year
of
famine
came,
whom Asnath
the
daughter
of Potipherah
the
priest
in
On
bore
to
him.
\VS{51}And
Joseph
called
the
name
of
the
firstborn
Manasseh —
For
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 41:51 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
has
made
me
forget
all
my
toil,
and
all
my father's
house.
\VS{52}And
the
name
of
the
second
he
called
Ephraim —
For
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 41:52 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
has
caused
me
to
be
fruitful
in
the
land
of
my affliction.
\VS{53}And
the
seven
years
of
plenty
that
were
in
the
land
of
Egypt
were
ended;
\VS{54}and
the
seven
years
of
the dearth
began
to
come, according
as
Joseph
had
said.
And
there
was dearth
in
all
lands;
but
in
all
the
land
of
Egypt
there
was
bread.
\VS{55}And
all
the
land
of
Egypt suffered
from
the dearth.
And
the
people
cried
to
Pharaoh
for
bread;
and
Pharaoh
said
to
all
the
Egyptians, Go
to
Joseph:
what
he
says
to
you,
that
do.
\VS{56}And
the
famine
was
on
all
the
earth.
And
Joseph
opened
every
place
in
which
there
was [provision],
and
sold
grain
to
the
Egyptians;
and
the
famine
was grievous
in
the
land
of
Egypt.
\VS{57}And
all
countries
came
into
Egypt
to
Joseph,
to
buy [grain],
because
the
famine
was grievous
on
the
whole
earth.

\par }\Chap{42}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Jacob
saw
that
there
was
grain
in
Egypt,
and
Jacob
said
to
his
sons,
Why
do ye
look
one
upon
another?
\VS{2}And
he
said,
Behold,
I
have
heard
that
there
is
grain
in
Egypt;
go
down thither
and
buy [grain]
for
us
from thence,
in
order
that
we
may
live,
and
not
die.
\VS{3}And Joseph's
ten
brethren
went
down
to
buy [grain] out
of
Egypt.
\VS{4}But
Benjamin, Joseph's
brother,
Jacob
sent
not
with
his
brethren;
for
he
said,
Lest mischief
may
befall
him.
\VS{5}So
the
sons
of
Israel
came
to
buy [grain]
among
those
that
came;
for
the
famine
was
in
the
land
of
Canaan.
\VS{6}And
Joseph,
he
was
the governor
over
the
land —
he
it
was
that
sold [the corn]
to
all
the
people
of
the
land.
And Joseph's
brethren
came
and
bowed
down
to
him,
the
face
to
the
earth.
\VS{7}And
Joseph
saw
his
brethren,
and knew
them;
but
he
made
himself strange
to
them,
and
spoke roughly
to
them,
and
said
to
them, Whence
come ye?
And
they
said,
From
the
land
of
Canaan,
to
buy
food.
\VS{8}And
Joseph knew
his
brethren,
but
they
did
not
know
him.
\VS{9}And
Joseph
remembered
the
dreams
that
he
had dreamt
of
them;
and
he
said
to
them, Ye
are
spies:
to
see
the
exposed
places
of
the
land ye
are
come.
\VS{10}And
they
said
to
him,
No,
my
lord;
but
to
buy
food
are thy
servants
come.
\VS{11}We
are
all
one man's
sons;
we
are honest: thy
servants
are
not
spies.
\VS{12}And
he
said
to
them,
No;
but
to
see
the
exposed
places
of
the
land
are ye
come.
\VS{13}And
they
said, Thy
servants
were
twelve
brethren,
sons
of
one
man,
in
the
land
of
Canaan;
and
behold,
the
youngest
is
this
day
with
our
father,
and
one
is
not.
\VS{14}And
Joseph
said
to
them,
That
is
it
that
I
have
spoken
to
you,
saying, Ye
are
spies.
\VS{15}By
this ye
shall
be
put
to
the proof:
as
Pharaoh
lives, ye
shall
not
go
forth hence,
unless
your
youngest
brother
come hither!
\VS{16}Send
one
of
you,
that
he
may fetch
your
brother,
but ye
shall
be
imprisoned,
and
your
words
shall
be
put
to
the proof,
whether
the
truth
is
in
you;
and
if
not,
as
Pharaoh
lives, ye
are
spies.
\VS{17}And
he
put
them
in
custody
three
days.
\VS{18}And
Joseph
said
to
them
the
third
day,
This
do,
that ye
may
live:
I
fear
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 42:18 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God.
\VS{19}If ye
are honest,
let
one
of
your
brethren remain
bound
in
the
house
of
your
prison,
but
go ye,
carry
grain
for
the hunger
of
your
households;
\VS{20}and
bring
your
youngest
brother
to
me,
in
order
that
your
words
be
verified,
and
that ye
may
not
die.
And
they
did
so.
\VS{21}Then
they
said
one
to
another,
We
are
indeed
guilty
concerning
our
brother,
whose
anguish
of
soul
we
saw
when
he besought
us,
and
we
did
not hearken;
therefore
this
distress
is
come
upon
us.
\VS{22}And
Reuben
answered
them,
saying,
Did
I
not
speak
to
you,
saying,
Do
not
sin
against
the
lad?
But ye
did
not hearken;
and
now
behold,
his
blood
also
is
required.
\VS{23}And
they
did
not
know
that
Joseph
understood,
for
the interpreter
was
between
them.
\VS{24}And
he
turned
away
from
them,
and
wept.
And
he
returned
to
them,
and
spoke
to
them,
and
took
Simeon
from
among
them,
and
bound
him
before
their
eyes.
\VS{25}And
Joseph
gave
orders
to
fill
their
vessels
with corn,
and
to
restore
every man's
money
into
his
sack,
and
to
give
them provision
for
the
way.
And
thus
did
they
to
them.
\VS{26}And
they
loaded
their asses
with
their
grain,
and departed thence.
\VS{27}And
one
of
them
opened
his
sack
to
give
his ass
food
in
the inn,
and
saw
his
money,
and
behold,
it
was
in
the
mouth
of
his
sack.
\VS{28}And
he
said
to
his
brethren,
My
money
is
returned [to
me],
and
behold,
it
is
even
in
my
sack.
And
their
heart
failed [them],
and
they
were
afraid,
saying
one
to
another,
What
is
this [that]
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 42:28 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
has
done
to
us?
\VS{29}And
they
came
into
the
land
of
Canaan,
to
Jacob
their
father,
and
told
him
all
that
had befallen
them,
saying,
\VS{30}The
man,
the
lord
of
the
land,
spoke roughly
to
us,
and
treated
us
as
spies
of
the
land.
\VS{31}And
we
said
to
him,
We
are honest;
we
are
not
spies:
\VS{32}we
are
twelve
brethren,
sons
of
our
father;
one
is
not,
and
the
youngest
is
this
day
with
our
father
in
the
land
of
Canaan.
\VS{33}And
the
man,
the
lord
of
the
land,
said
to
us, Hereby
shall
I
know
that ye
are honest:
leave
one
of
your
brethren
with
me,
and
take [for]
the hunger
of
your
households,
and
go,
\VS{34}and
bring
your
youngest
brother
to
me,
and
I
shall
know
that ye
are
not
spies,
but
are honest.
Your
brother
will
I
give
up
to
you;
and ye
may
trade
in
the
land.
\VS{35}And
it
came
to
pass
as
they emptied
their
sacks,
that
behold,
every
man
had
his bundle
of
money
in
his
sack;
and
they
saw
their bundles
of
money,
they
and
their
father,
and
were
afraid.
\VS{36}And
Jacob
their
father
said
to
them, Ye
have
bereaved
me
of
children:
Joseph
is
not,
and
Simeon
is
not,
and ye
will
take
Benjamin!
All
these
things
are
against
me.
\VS{37}And
Reuben
spoke
to
his
father,
saying,
Slay
my
two
sons
if
I
bring
him
not
back
to thee:
give
him
into
my
hand,
and
I
will
bring
him
to thee
again.
\VS{38}But
he
said,
My
son
shall
not
go
down
with
you,
for
his
brother
is
dead,
and
he
alone
is
left;
and
if mischief
should
befall
him
by
the
way
in
which ye
go,
then
would ye
bring
down
my grey
hairs
with
sorrow
to
Sheol.

\par }\Chap{43}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
famine
was
grievous
in
the
land.
\VS{2}And
it
came
to
pass,
when
they
had
finished
eating
the
grain
which
they
had
brought
from
Egypt,
that
their
father
said
to
them,
Go
again,
buy
us
a
little
food.
\VS{3}And
Judah
spoke
to
him,
saying,
The
man
did positively testify
to
us,
saying, Ye
shall
not
see
my
face,
unless
your
brother
be
with
you.
\VS{4}If thou wilt
send
our
brother
with
us,
we
will
go
down
and
buy thee
food;
\VS{5}but
if thou
do
not
send [him],
we
will
not
go
down,
for
the
man
said
to
us, Ye
shall
not
see
my
face,
unless
your
brother
be
with
you.
\VS{6}And
Israel
said,
Why
did ye deal [so] ill
with
me [as]
to
tell
the
man whether ye
had
yet
a
brother?
\VS{7}And
they
said,
The
man
asked
very closely
after
us,
and
after
our
kindred,
saying,
Is
your
father
yet
alive?
have ye
a
brother?
And
we
told
him
according
to
the tenor
of
these
words.
Could
we
at
all
know
that
he
would
say,
Bring
your
brother
down?
\VS{8}And
Judah
said
to
Israel
his
father,
Send
the
lad
with
me,
and
we
will
arise
and
go,
that
we
may
live,
and
not
die,
both
we
and thou
and
our
little
ones.
\VS{9}I
will
be
surety
for
him:
of
my
hand shalt thou
require
him;
if
I
bring
him
not
to thee,
and
set
him
before thy
face,
then
shall
I
be guilty
toward thee
for ever.
\VS{10}For
had
we
not lingered,
we
should
now
certainly
have
returned
already
twice.
\VS{11}And
their
father
Israel
said
to
them,
If
it
is
then
so,
do
this:
take
of
the
best fruits
in
the
land
in
your
vessels,
and
carry
down
the
man
a
gift:
a
little balsam
and
a
little
honey, tragacanth
and ladanum, pistacia-nuts
and
almonds.
\VS{12}And
take
other
money
in
your
hand,
and
the
money
that
was
returned
to
you
in
the
mouth
of
your
sacks,
carry
back
in
your
hand:
perhaps
it
is
an oversight.
\VS{13}And
take
your
brother,
and
arise,
go
again
to
the
man.
\VS{14}And
the
Almighty
\FTNT{*}{{\FR 43:14 }

El|strong="H0410"}God
give
you
mercy
before
the
man,
that
he
may
send
away
your
other
brother
and
Benjamin!
And
I,
if
I
be
bereaved
of
children,
am
bereaved.
\VS{15}And
the
men
took
that
gift,
and
took
double
money
in
their
hand,
and
Benjamin,
and
rose
up,
and
went
down
to
Egypt,
and
came
before
Joseph.
\VS{16}And
Joseph
saw
Benjamin
with
them,
and
said
to
the [man]
who
was
over
his
house,
Bring
the
men
into
the
house,
and
slaughter cattle,
and
make
ready;
for
the
men
shall
eat
with
me
at
noon.
\VS{17}And
the
man
did
as
Joseph
had
said;
and
the
man
brought
the
men
into Joseph's
house.
\VS{18}And
the
men
were
afraid
because
they
were
brought
into Joseph's
house,
and
said,
Because
of
the
money
that
was
returned
to
us
in
our
sacks
at
the
beginning
are
we
brought
in,
that
he
may
turn
against
us,
and
fall
upon
us
and
take
us
for bondmen,
and
our asses.
\VS{19}And
they
came
up
to
the
man
that
was
over Joseph's
house,
and
they
spoke
to
him
at
the
door
of
the
house,
\VS{20}and
said, Ah!
my
lord, we
came
indeed
down
at
the
first
to
buy
food.
\VS{21}And
it
came
to
pass
when
we
came
to
the inn,
that
we
opened
our
sacks,
and
behold, [every] man's
money
was
in
the
mouth
of
his
sack,
our
money
according
to
its
weight;
and
we
have
brought
it
again
in
our
hand.
\VS{22}And
other
money
have we
brought
down
in
our
hand
to
buy
food. We
do
not
know
who
put
our
money
in
our
sacks.
\VS{23}And
he
said,
Peace
be
to
you,
fear
not:
your
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 43:23 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
and
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 43:23 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
your
father,
has
given
you
treasure
in
your
sacks;
your
money
came
to
me.
And
he
brought
Simeon
out
to
them.
\VS{24}And
the
man
brought
the
men
into Joseph's
house,
and
gave
water,
and
they
washed
their
feet;
and
he
gave
their asses
food.
\VS{25}And
they
made
ready
the
gift
for Joseph's
coming
at
noon;
for
they
had
heard
that
they
should
eat
bread
there.
\VS{26}When
Joseph
came
home,
they
brought
him
the
gift
that
was
in
their
hand,
into
the
house,
and
bowed
themselves
to
him
to
the
earth.
\VS{27}And
he
asked
them
of
their
welfare,
and
said,
Is
your
father
well —
the
old
man
of
whom ye
spoke?
Is
he
yet
alive?
\VS{28}And
they
said, Thy
servant
our
father
is
well;
he
is
yet
alive.
And
they
bowed,
and made obeisance.
\VS{29}And
he
lifted
up
his
eyes
and
saw
his
brother
Benjamin,
his mother's
son,
and
said,
Is
this
your
younger
brother
of
whom ye
spoke
to
me?
And
he
said,
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 43:29 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
be gracious
to thee,
my
son!
\VS{30}And
Joseph
made
haste,
for
his bowels burned
for
his
brother;
and
he
sought [a
place]
to
weep,
and
he
went
into
the
chamber,
and
wept
there.
\VS{31}And
he
washed
his
face,
and
came
out,
and
controlled
himself,
and
said,
Set
on
bread.
\VS{32}And
they
set
on
for
him
by
himself,
and
for
them
by
themselves,
and
for
the
Egyptians
who
ate
with
him
by
themselves;
because
the
Egyptians might
not
eat
bread
with
the
Hebrews,
for
that
is
an
abomination unto
the
Egyptians.
\VS{33}And
they
sat
before
him,
the
firstborn
according
to
his
birthright,
and
the
youngest
according
to
his
youth;
and
the
men marvelled
one
at
another.
\VS{34}And
he
had
portions
carried
to
them
from
before
him.
And Benjamin's
portion
was
five
times
greater
than
the
portions
of
them
all.
And
they
drank,
and
made merry
with
him.

\par }\Chap{44}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
he
commanded
him
who
was
over
his
house,
saying,
Fill
the men's
sacks
with
food,
as
much
as
they
can
carry;
and
put
every man's
money
in
the
mouth
of

\VS{2}And
put
my
cup,
the

cup,
in

sack
of
the
youngest,

his grain-money.
And
he
did
according
to

word
of
Joseph
which
he
had
spoken.
\VS{3}In
the
morning,
when
it
was
light,
the

were
sent
away,

were
gone
out
of

not [yet]
far
off,

said
to

was
over

house,
Up!
follow
after
the
men;

say
to

Why
have ye rewarded
evil
for
good?
\VS{5}Is
not
this [it]
in
which
my
lord
drinks,
and
in
which
indeed
he divines? Ye
have
done
evil [in]
what ye
have
done.
\VS{6}And
he
overtook
them,
and
he
spoke
to
them
these
words.
\VS{7}And
they
said
to
him,
Why
does
my
lord
speak
such
words
as
these?
Far
be
it
from thy
servants
to
do
such
a
thing!
\VS{8}Behold,
the
money
that
we
found
in
our sacks'
mouths
we
have
brought
again
to thee
from
the
land
of
Canaan;
and
how
should
we
steal
out
of thy lord's
house
silver
or
gold?
\VS{9}With whomsoever
of thy
servants
it
is
found,
let
him
die;
and
we
also
will
be
my lord's bondmen.

he
said,
Now
also [let]
it [be] according
to
your
words:
let
him
with
whom
it
is
found
be
my bondman,
but ye
shall
be blameless.

and laid
down
every
man
his
sack
on
the
ground,
and
opened

man
his
sack.

he
searched carefully:
he
began
at
the eldest,
and
ended
at
the
youngest;

the
cup
was
found
in Benjamin's
sack.
\VS{13}Then
they rent
their
clothes,
and
loaded
every
man
his ass,

they
returned
to

came
to Joseph's

still
there;

said
to

have
done?
Did ye
not
know
that

as
I

certainly divine?

said,

what
shall

speak,

how
justify
ourselves?

\VS{20}And
we
said
to
my
lord,
We
have
an
aged
father,
and
a
child born
to
him
in
his
old
age, [yet]
young;
and
his
brother
is
dead,
and
he
alone
is
left
of
his
mother;
and
his
father
loves
him.
\VS{21}And thou saidst unto thy
servants,
Bring
him
down
to
me,
that
I
may
set mine
eye
on
him.
\VS{22}And
we
said
to
my
lord,
The
youth
cannot
leave
his
father: if
he
should
leave
his
father, [his
father]
would
die.
\VS{23}And thou saidst
to thy
servants,
Unless
your
youngest
brother
come
down
with
you, ye
shall
see
my
face
no
more.
\VS{24}And
it
came
to
pass
when
we
came
up
to thy
servant
my
father,
we
told
him
the
words
of
my
lord.
\VS{25}And
our
father
said,
Go
again,
buy
us
a
little
food.
\VS{26}But
we
said,
We
cannot
go
down:
if
our
youngest
brother
be
with
us,
then
will
we
go
down;
for
we
cannot
see
the man's
face
unless
our
youngest
brother
is
with
us.
\VS{27}And thy
servant
my
father
said
to
us, Ye
know
that
my
wife
bore
me
two [sons];
\VS{28}and
the
one
went
out
from
me,
and
I
said,
He
must
certainly
have
been
torn
in
pieces;
and
I
have
not
seen
him [again] hitherto.
\VS{29}And if ye
take
this
one
also
from
me,
and mischief
should befall
him, ye
will
bring
down
my grey
hairs
with misery
to
Sheol.
\VS{30}And
now,
when
I
come
to thy
servant
my
father,
and
the
lad
is
not
with
us, — seeing
that
his
life
is
bound
up
with
his
life,
\VS{31}it
will
come
to
pass
when
he
sees
that
the
lad
is
not [there],
that
he
will
die;
and thy
servants
will
bring
down
the grey
hairs
of thy
servant
our
father
with
sorrow
to
Sheol.
\VS{32}For thy
servant
became
surety
for
the
lad
to
my
father,
saying,
If
I
bring
him
not
to thee,
then
I
shall
be guilty
toward
my
father
all
my
days.
\VS{33}And
now,
let thy
servant
stay,
I
pray thee,
instead
of
the
lad
a bondman
to
my
lord,
and
let
the
lad
go
up
with
his
brethren;
\VS{34}for
how
should
I
go
up
to
my
father
if
the
lad
were
not
with
me? —
lest
I
see
the
evil
that
would
come
on
my
father.

\par }\Chap{45}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Joseph
could
not
control
himself
before
all
them
that
stood
by
him,
and
he
cried,
Put
every
man
out
from
me!
And
no
man
stood
with
him
when
Joseph
made
himself
known
to
his
brethren.
\VS{2}And
he
raised
his
voice
in
weeping;
and
the
Egyptians
heard,
and
the
house
of
Pharaoh
heard.
\VS{3}And
Joseph
said
to
his
brethren,
I
am
Joseph.
Does
my
father
yet
live?
And
his
brethren
could
not
answer
him,
for
they
were troubled
at
his

\VS{4}And
Joseph
said
to
his
brethren,
Come
near
to
me,
I
pray
you.
And
they
came
near.
And
he
said,
I
am
Joseph
your
brother,
whom ye
sold
into
Egypt.
\VS{5}And
now,
be
not
grieved,
and
be
not
angry
with
yourselves,
that ye
sold
me hither,
for
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 45:5 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
sent
me
before
you
to
preserve
life.
\VS{6}For
the
famine
has
been
these
two
years
in
the
land;
and
yet
there
are
five
years
in
which
there
will
be
neither ploughing
nor
harvest.
\VS{7}So
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 45:7 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
sent
me
before
you
to
preserve
you
a
remnant
in
the
earth,
and
to save
you
alive
by
a
great
deliverance.
\VS{8}And
now
it
was
not
you [that]
sent
me
here,
but
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 45:8 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God;
and
he
has
made
me
a
father
to
Pharaoh,
and
lord
of
all
his
house,
and governor
over
all
the
land
of
Egypt.
\VS{9}Haste
and
go
up
to
my
father,
and
say
to
him,
Thus
says thy
son
Joseph:
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 45:9 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
has
made
me
lord
of
all
Egypt;
come
down
to
me, tarry
not.
\VS{10}And thou shalt
dwell
in
the
land
of
Goshen,
and thou shalt
be
near
to
me, thou,
and thy
sons,
and thy sons'
sons,
and thy
sheep,
and thy
cattle,
and
all
that thou hast.
\VS{11}And
there
will
I
maintain thee;
for
yet
there
are
five
years
of
famine;
in order
that thou
be
not
impoverished, thou,
and thy
household,
and
all
that thou hast.
\VS{12}And
behold,
your
eyes
see,
and
the
eyes
of
my
brother
Benjamin,
that
it
is
my
mouth
which
speaks
to
you.
\VS{13}And
tell
my
father
of
all
my
glory
in
Egypt,
and
of
all
that ye
have
seen,
and
haste
and
bring
down
my
father hither.
\VS{14}And
he
fell
on
his
brother Benjamin's
neck,
and
wept;
and
Benjamin
wept
on
his
neck.
\VS{15}And
he
kissed
all
his
brethren,
and
wept
upon
them;
and
after
that
his
brethren
talked
with
him.
\VS{16}And
the
report
was
heard
in Pharaoh's
house,
saying, Joseph's
brethren
are
come.
And
it
was
good
in
the
eyes
of
Pharaoh,
and
in
the
eyes
of
his bondmen.
\VS{17}And
Pharaoh
said
to
Joseph,
Say
to thy
brethren,
Do
this:
load
your
beasts
and depart,
go
into
the
land
of
Canaan,
\VS{18}and
take
your
father
and
your
households,
and
come
to
me;
and
I
will
give
you
the
good
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
and ye
shall
eat
the
fat
of
the
land.
\VS{19}And thou art
commanded —
this
do:
take waggons
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt
for
your
little
ones
and
for
your
wives,
and
take
up
your
father,
and
come.
\VS{20}And
let
not
your
eye regret
your stuff;
for
the
good
of
all
the
land
of
Egypt
shall
be yours.
\VS{21}And
the
sons
of
Israel
did
so;
and
Joseph
gave
them waggons,
according
to
the
commandment
of
Pharaoh,
and
gave
them provision
for
the
way.
\VS{22}To
each
one
of
them
all
he
gave
changes
of
clothing;
but
to
Benjamin
he
gave
three
hundred [pieces]
of
silver
and
five
changes
of
clothing.
\VS{23}And
to
his
father
he
sent
this:
ten asses laden
with
the
good
things
of
Egypt,
and
ten she-asses laden
with corn
and
bread,
and
food
for
his
father
by
the
way.
\VS{24}And
he
sent
his
brethren
away,
and
they departed.
And
he
said
to
them,
Do
not
quarrel
on
the
way.
\VS{25}And
they
went
up
out
of
Egypt,
and
came
into
the
land
of
Canaan
to
Jacob
their
father.
\VS{26}And
they
told
him,
saying,
Joseph
is
still
alive,
and
he
is governor
over
all
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
his
heart
fainted,
for
he
did
not
believe
them.
\VS{27}And
they
spoke
to
him
all
the
words
of
Joseph,
which
he
had
spoken
to
them.
And
he
saw
the waggons
that
Joseph
had
sent
to
carry
him.
And
the
spirit
of
Jacob
their
father
revived.
\VS{28}And
Israel
said,
It
is
enough:
Joseph
my
son
is
yet
alive;
I
will go
and
see
him
before
I
die.

cattle,
and
for asses;
and
he
fed
them
with
bread
for
all
their
cattle
that
year.
\VS{18}And
that
year
ended;
and
they
came
to
him
the
second
year,
and
said
to
him,
We
will
not
hide [it]
from
my
lord
that
since [our]
money
is
come
to
an
end,
and
the
herds
of
cattle
are
in
the possession
of
my
lord,
nothing
is
left
before
my
lord
but
our
bodies
and
our
land.
\VS{19}Why
should
we
die
before thine
eyes,
both
we
and
our
land?
Buy
us
and
our
land
for
bread,
and
we
and
our
land
will
be bondmen
to
Pharaoh;
and
give
seed,
that
we
may
live,
and
not
die,
and
that
the
land
be
not
desolate.
\VS{20}And
Joseph
bought
all
the
soil
of
Egypt
for
Pharaoh;
for
the
Egyptians
sold
every
man
his
field,
because
the
famine
prevailed
over
them;
and
the
land
became Pharaoh's.
\VS{21}And
as
for
the
people,
he removed
them
into
the
cities,
from [one]
end
of
the
borders
of
Egypt
even
to
the [other]
end
of
it.
\VS{22}Only
the
land
of
the
priests
he
did
not
buy;
for
the
priests
had
an
assigned
portion
from
Pharaoh,
and
ate
their
assigned
portion
which
Pharaoh
had
given
them;
so
they
did
not
sell
their
land.
\VS{23}And
Joseph
said
to
the
people,
Behold,
I
have
bought
you
this
day
and
your
land
for
Pharaoh:
lo,
here
is
seed
for
you,
and
sow
the
land.
\VS{24}And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
the
increase
that ye
shall
give
the
fifth
to
Pharaoh,
and
the
four
parts
shall
be
your
own,
for
seed
of
the
field,
and
for
your
food,
and
for
them
of
your
households,
and
for
food
for
your
little
ones.
\VS{25}And
they
said, Thou hast saved
us
alive.
Let
us
find favour
in
the
eyes
of
my
lord,
and
we
will
be Pharaoh's bondmen.
\VS{26}And
Joseph
made
it
a law
over
the
land
of
Egypt
to
this
day, [that]
the
fifth
should
be
for
Pharaoh,
except
the
land
of
the
priests: theirs
alone
did
not
become Pharaoh's.
\VS{27}And
Israel
dwelt
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
in
the
land
of
Goshen;
and
they
had
possessions
in it,
and
were
fruitful
and
multiplied
exceedingly.
\VS{28}And
Jacob
lived
in
the
land
of
Egypt
seventeen
years;
and
the
days
of
Jacob,
the
years
of
his
life,
were
a
hundred
and forty-seven
years.
\VS{29}And
the
days
of
Israel
approached
that
he
should
die.
And
he
called
his
son
Joseph,
and
said
to
him,
If
now
I
have
found favour
in thine
eyes,
put,
I
pray thee, thy
hand
under
my
thigh,
and
deal kindly
and
truly
with
me:
bury
me
not,
I
pray thee,
in
Egypt;
\VS{30}but
when
I
shall
lie
with
my
fathers, thou shalt
carry
me
out
of
Egypt,
and
bury
me
in
their sepulchre.
And
he
said,
I
will
do according
to thy
word.
\VS{31}And
he
said,
Swear
to
me;
and
he
swore
to
him.
And
Israel worshipped
on
the bed's
head.

\par }\Chap{48}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
it
came
to
pass
after
these
things,
that
one
told
Joseph,
Behold, thy
father
is
sick.
And
he
took
with
him
his
two
sons
Manasseh
and
Ephraim.
\VS{2}And
one
told
Jacob
and
said,
Behold, thy
son
Joseph
is
coming
to thee.
And
Israel
strengthened
himself,
and
sat
upon
the
bed.
\VS{3}And
Jacob
said
to
Joseph,
The
Almighty
\FTNT{*}{{\FR 48:3 }

El|strong="H0410"}God
appeared
to
me
at
Luz
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
and
blessed
me,
\VS{4}and
he
said
to
me,
Behold,
I
will
make thee
fruitful
and
multiply thee,
and
I
will
make
of thee
a
company
of
peoples;
and
will
give
this
land
to thy
seed
after thee [for]
an
everlasting
possession.
\VS{5}And
now thy
two
sons,
who
were
born
to thee
in
the
land
of
Egypt
before
I
came
to thee
into
Egypt,
shall
be mine:
Ephraim
and
Manasseh
shall
be mine,
as
Reuben
and
Simeon.
\VS{6}And thy family
which thou hast
begotten
after
them
shall
be thine:
they
shall
be
called
after
the
name
of
their
brethren
in
their
inheritance.
\VS{7}And
as
for
me,
when
I
came
from Padan,
Rachel
died
by
me
in
the
land
of
Canaan
on
the
way,
when
there
was
yet
a certain
distance
to
come
to
Ephrath;
and
I
buried
her
there
on
the
way
to
Ephrath,
that
is,
Bethlehem.
\VS{8}And
Israel beheld Joseph's
sons,
and
said,
Who
are
these?
\VS{9}And
Joseph
said
to
his
father,
They
are
my
sons,
whom
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 48:9 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
has
given
me
here.
And
he
said,
Bring
them,
I
pray thee,
to
me,
that
I
may
bless
them.
\VS{10}But
the
eyes
of
Israel
were
heavy
from
age:
he
could
not
see.
And
he
brought
them nearer
to
him;
and
he
kissed
them,
and
embraced
them.
\VS{11}And
Israel
said
to
Joseph,
I
had
not
thought
to
see thy
face;
and
behold,
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 48:11 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
has
let
me
see
also thy
seed.
\VS{12}And
Joseph
brought
them
out
from
his
knees,
and
bowed
down
with
his
face
to
the
earth.
\VS{13}And
Joseph
took
them
both,
Ephraim
in
his
right
hand
toward Israel's
left
hand,
and
Manasseh
in
his
left
hand
toward Israel's
right
hand,
and
brought [them]
near
to
him.
\VS{14}But
Israel
stretched
out
his
right
hand,
and
laid [it]
on Ephraim's
head —
now
he
was
the
younger —
and
his
left
hand
on Manasseh's
head; guiding
his
hands intelligently,
for
Manasseh
was
the
firstborn.
\VS{15}And
he
blessed
Joseph,
and
said,
The
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 48:15 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
before
whom
my
fathers
Abraham
and
Isaac
walked,
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 48:15 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
that shepherded
me
all
my
life
long
to
this
day,
\VS{16}the
Angel
that
redeemed
me
from
all
evil,
bless
the
lads;
and
let
my
name
be
named
upon
them,
and
the
name
of
my
fathers
Abraham
and
Isaac;
and
let
them
grow
into
a
multitude
in
the
midst
of
the
land!
\VS{17}When
Joseph
saw
that
his
father
laid
his
right
hand
on
the
head
of
Ephraim,
it
was
evil
in
his
eyes;
and
he
took
hold
of
his father's
hand
to
remove
it
from Ephraim's
head
to Manasseh's
head.
\VS{18}And
Joseph
said
to
his
father,
Not
so,
my
father,
for
this
is
the
firstborn:
put thy
right
hand
on
his
head.
\VS{19}But
his
father
refused
and
said,
I
know,
my
son,
I
know:
he
also
will
become
a
people,
and
he
also
will
be
great;
but
truly
his
younger
brother
will
be
greater
than
he;
and
his
seed
will
become
the fulness
of
nations.
\VS{20}And
he
blessed
them
that
day,
saying,
In thee
will
Israel
bless,
saying,
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 48:20 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
make thee
as
Ephraim
and
Manasseh!
And
he
set
Ephraim
before
Manasseh.
\VS{21}And
Israel
said
to
Joseph,
Behold,
I
die;
and
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 48:21 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
will
be
with
you,
and
bring
you
again
to
the
land
of
your
fathers.
\VS{22}And
{\BD{
I}}
have
given
to thee
one tract [of land]
above thy
brethren,
which
I
took
out
of
the
hand
of
the
Amorite
with
my
sword
and
with
my
bow.

called

came
to
the threshing-floor
of
Atad,
which
is
beyond

there
they
lamented
with
a
great
and
very
grievous
lamentation;

made
a
mourning
for
his

seven
days.

the
inhabitants
of
the
land,
the
Canaanites,
saw
the
mourning
at
the threshing-floor

said,
This
is
a
grievous
mourning
of
the
Egyptians.
Therefore
the
name
of
it
was
called
Abel-Mizraim,
which
is
beyond
the
Jordan.

did
to
him according
as
he
had

gone
up
with

to
bury

when Joseph's

saw
that

said,
If
now

should
be hostile
to
us,
and
should
indeed requite
us
all
the

meant
evil
against
me:
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 50:20 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
meant
it
for
good,
in
order
that
he
might
do
as [it
is]
this
day,
to save
a
great
people
alive.
\VS{21}And
now,
fear
not:
I
will
maintain
you
and
your
little
ones.
And
he
comforted
them,
and
spoke consolingly
to
them.
\VS{22}And
Joseph
dwelt
in
Egypt,
he
and
his father's
house;
and
Joseph
lived
a
hundred
and
ten
years.
\VS{23}And
Joseph
saw Ephraim's
children
of
the
third [generation];
the
sons
also
of
Machir
the
son
of
Manasseh
were
born
on Joseph's
knees.
\VS{24}And
Joseph
said
to
his
brethren,
I
die;
and
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 50:24 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
will
certainly
visit
you,
and
bring
you
up
out
of
this
land,
into
the
land
that
he
swore unto
Abraham,
to
Isaac,
and
to
Jacob.
\VS{25}And
Joseph
took
an
oath
of
the
children
of
Israel,
saying,
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 50:25 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
will certainly
visit
you;
and ye
shall
carry
up
my
bones hence.
\VS{26}And
Joseph
died,
a
hundred
and
ten
years
old;
and
they
embalmed
him;
and
he
was
put
in
a
coffin
in
Egypt.
