\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}In
the
beginning
God
created
heaven,
and
earth.
\VS{2}And
the
earth
was
void
and
empty,
and
darkness
was
upon
the
face
of
the
deep;
and
the
spirit
of
God
moved
over
the
waters.
\VS{3}And
God
said:
Be
light
made.
And
light
was
made.
\VS{4}And
God
saw
the
light
that
it
was
good;
and
he
divided
the
light
from
the
darkness.
\VS{5}And
he
called
the
light
Day,
and
the
darkness
Night;
and
there
was
evening
and
morning
one
day.
\VS{6}And
God
said:
Let
there
be
a
firmament
made
amidst
the
waters:
and
let
it
divide
the
waters
from
the
waters.
\VS{7}And
God
made
a
firmament,
and
divided
the
waters
that
were
under
the
firmament,
from
those
that
were
above
the
firmament,
and
it
was
so.
\VS{8}And
God
called
the
firmament,
Heaven;
and
the
evening
and
morning
were
the
second
day.
\VS{9}God
also
said:
Let
the
waters
that
are
under
the
heaven,
be
gathered
together
into
one
place:
and
let
the
dry
land
appear.
And
it
was
so
done.
\VS{10}And
God
called
the
dry
land,
Earth;
and
the
gathering
together
of
the
waters,
he
called
Seas.
And
God
saw
that
it
was
good.
\VS{11}And
he
said:
Let
the
earth
bring forth
the
green
herb,
and
such
as
may
seed,
and
the
fruit
tree
yielding
fruit
after
its
kind,
which
may
have
seed
in
itself
upon
the
earth.
And
it
was
so
done.
\VS{12}And
the
earth
brought
forth
the
green
herb,
and
such
as yieldeth
seed
according
to
its
kind,
and
the
tree
that beareth
fruit,
having
seed each
one
according
to
its
kind.
And
God
saw
that
it
was
good.
\VS{13}And
the
evening
and
the
morning
were
the
third
day.
\VS{14}And
God
said:
Let
there
be
lights
made
in
the
firmament
of
heaven,
to
divide
the
day
and
the
night,
and
let
them
be
for
signs,
and
for
seasons,
and
for
days
and
years:
\VS{15}To
shine
in
the
firmament
of
heaven,
and
to
give
light
upon
the
earth.
And
it
was
so
done.
\VS{16}And
God
made
two
great
lights:
a
greater
light
to
rule
the
day;
and
a
lesser
light
to
rule
the
night:
and
the
stars.
\VS{17}And
he
set
them
in
the
firmament
of
heaven
to
shine
upon
the
earth.
\VS{18}And
to
rule
the
day
and
the
night,
and
to
divide
the
light
and
the
darkness.
And
God
saw
that
it
was
good.
\VS{19}And
the
evening
and
morning
were
the
fourth
day.
\VS{20}God
also
said:
Let
the
waters bring forth
the creeping
creature
having
life,
and
the
fowl
that
may
fly
over
the
earth
under
the
firmament
of
heaven.
\VS{21}And
God
created
the
great whales,
and
every
living
and moving
creature,
which
the
waters brought forth,
according
to
their
kinds,
and
every
winged
fowl
according
to
its
kind.
And
God
saw
that
it
was
good.
\VS{22}And
he
blessed
them,
saying:
Increase
and
multiply,
and
fill
the
waters
of
the
sea:
and let
the
birds
be
multiplied upon
the
earth.
\VS{23}And
the
evening
and
morning
were
the
fifth
day.
\VS{24}And
God
said:
Let
the
earth
bring
forth
the
living
creature
in
its
kind,
cattle
and
creeping
things,
and
beasts
of
the
earth,
according
to
their
kinds.
And
it
was
so
done.
\VS{25}And
God
made
the
beasts
of
the
earth
according
to
their
kinds,
and
cattle,
and
every
thing
that creepeth
on
the
earth
after
its
kind.
And
God
saw
that
it
was
good.
\VS{26}And
he
said: Let
us
make
man
to
our
image
and
likeness:
and let
him
have
dominion
over
the fishes
of
the
sea,
and
the fowls
of
the air,
and
the
beasts,
and
the
whole
earth,
and
every
creeping creature
that moveth
upon
the
earth.
\VS{27}And
God
created
man
to
his own
image:
to
the
image
of
God
he
created
him:
male
and
female
he
created
them.
\VS{28}And
God
blessed
them,
saying:
Increase
and
multiply,
and
fill
the
earth,
and
subdue
it,
and
rule
over
the fishes
of
the
sea,
and
the fowls
of
the air,
and
all
living creatures
that move
upon
the
earth.
\VS{29}And
God
said:
Behold
I
have
given
you
every
herb bearing
seed
upon
the
earth,
and
all
trees
that
have
in
themselves
seed
of
their
own kind,
to
be
your meat:
\VS{30}And
to
all
beasts
of
the
earth,
and
to
every
fowl
of
the air,
and
to
all
that move
upon
the
earth,
and
wherein
there
is
life,
that
they
may
have
to feed
upon.
And
it
was
so
done.
\VS{31}And
God
saw
all
the
things
that
he
had
made,
and
they
were
very
good.
And
the
evening
and
morning
were
the
sixth
day.

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}So
the
heavens
and
the
earth
were
finished,
and
all
the furniture
of
them.
\VS{2}And
on
the
seventh
day
God
ended
his
work
which
he
had
made:
and
he
rested
on
the
seventh
day
from
all
his
work
which
he
had
done.
\VS{3}And
he
blessed
the
seventh
day,
and
sanctified
it:
because
in
it
he
had
rested
from
all
his
work
which
God
created
and
made.
\VS{4}These
are
the
generations
of
the
heaven
and
the
earth,
when
they
were
created,
in
the
day
that
the
Lord
God
made
the
heaven
and
the
earth:
\VS{5}And
every
plant
of
the
field
before
it
sprung
up
in
the
earth,
and
every
herb
of
the
ground
before
it grew:
for
the
Lord
God
had
not
rained
upon
the
earth;
and
there
was
not
a
man
to
till
the
earth.
\VS{6}But
a
spring
rose
out
of
the
earth,
watering
all
the
surface
of
the
earth.
\VS{7}And
the
Lord
God
formed
man
of
the slime
of
the
earth:
and
breathed
into
his
face
the
breath
of
life,
and
man
became
a
living
soul.
\VS{8}And
the
Lord
God
had
planted
a paradise
of pleasure
from
the beginning:
wherein
he
placed
man
whom
he
had
formed.
\VS{9}And
the
Lord
God brought
forth
of
the
ground
all manner
of
trees, fair
to behold,
and
pleasant
to
eat
of:
the
tree
of
life
also
in
the
midst
of paradise:
and
the
tree
of
knowledge
of
good
and
evil.
\VS{10}And
a
river
went
out
of
the
place
of pleasure
to
water paradise,
which
from thence
is
divided
into
four
heads.
\VS{11}The
name
of
the
one
is Phison:
that
is
it
which compasseth
all
the
land
of Hevilath,
where
gold groweth.
\VS{12}And
the
gold
of
that
land
is very
good:
there
is found
bdellium,
and
the
onyx
stone.
\VS{13}And
the
name
of
the
second
river
is Gehon:
the
same
is
it
that compasseth
all
the
land
of
Ethiopia.
\VS{14}And
the
name
of
the
third
river
is
Tigris:
the
same passeth
along
by
the Assyrians.
And
the
fourth
river
is
Euphrates.
\VS{15}And
the
Lord
God
took
man,
and
put
him
into
the paradise
of pleasure,
to dress
it,
and
to
keep
it.
\VS{16}And
he
commanded
him,
saying:
Of
every
tree
of paradise thou shalt
eat:
\VS{17}But
of
the
tree
of
knowledge
of
good
and
evil, thou shalt
not
eat.
For
in
what
day soever thou shalt
eat
of
it, thou shalt
die
the
death.
\VS{18}And
the
Lord
God
said:
It
is
not
good
for
man
to
be
alone:
let
us
make
him
a
help
like unto
himself.
\VS{19}And
the
Lord
God
having
formed
out
of
the
ground
all
the
beasts
of
the
earth,
and
all
the fowls
of
the air,
brought
them
to Adam
to
see
what
he
would
call
them:
for
whatsoever Adam
called
any
living
creature
the
same
is
its
name.
\VS{20}And Adam
called
all
the
beasts
by
their
names,
and
all
the fowls
of
the air,
and
all
the
cattle
of
the
field:
but
for Adam
there
was
not
found
a
helper
like
himself.
\VS{21}Then
the
Lord
God
cast
a
deep
sleep
upon Adam:
and
when
he
was fast
asleep,
he
took
one
of
his
ribs,
and filled
up
flesh
for
it.
\VS{22}And
the
Lord
God
built
the
rib
which
he
took
from Adam
into
a
woman:
and
brought
her
to Adam.
\VS{23}And Adam
said:
This
now
is
bone
of
my
bones,
and
flesh
of
my
flesh;
she
shall
be
called
woman,
because
she
was
taken
out
of
man.
\VS{24}Wherefore
a
man
shall
leave
father
and
mother,
and
shall cleave
to
his
wife:
and
they
shall
be two
in
one
flesh.
\VS{25}And
they
were
both
naked:
to wit, Adam
and
his
wife:
and
were
not
ashamed.

\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
the
serpent
was
more subtle
than
any
of
the
beasts
of
the earth
which
the
Lord
God
had
made.
And
he
said
to
the
woman:
Why hath
God
commanded
you,
that
you
should
not
eat
of
every
tree
of paradise?
\VS{2}And
the
woman
answered
him,
saying:
Of
the
fruit
of
the
trees
that
are
in paradise we do
eat:
\VS{3}But
of
the
fruit
of
the
tree
which
is
in
the
midst
of paradise,
God hath
commanded
us
that
we
should
not
eat;
and
that
we
should
not
touch
it,
lest
perhaps
we
die.
\VS{4}And
the
serpent
said
to
the
woman:
No,
you
shall
not
die
the
death.
\VS{5}For
God doth
know
that
in
what
day soever
you
shall
eat thereof,
your
eyes
shall
be
opened:
and
you
shall
be
as
Gods,
knowing
good
and
evil.
\VS{6}And
the
woman
saw
that
the
tree
was
good
to
eat,
and fair
to
the
eyes,
and delightful
to
behold:
and
she
took
of
the
fruit thereof,
and
did
eat,
and
gave
to
her
husband
who
did
eat.
\VS{7}And
the
eyes
of
them
both
were
opened:
and
when
they
perceived
themselves
to
be
naked,
they
sewed
together
fig
leaves,
and
made
themselves aprons.
\VS{8}And
when
they
heard
the
voice
of
the
Lord
God
walking
in paradise
at
the afternoon
air, Adam
and
his
wife
hid
themselves
from
the
face
of
the
Lord
God,
amidst
the
trees
of paradise.
\VS{9}And
the
Lord
God
called Adam,
and
said
to
him:
Where art thou?
\VS{10}And
he
said:
I
heard thy
voice
in paradise;
and
I
was
afraid,
because
I
was
naked,
and
I
hid
myself.
\VS{11}And
he
said
to
him:
And
who hath
told thee
that thou wast
naked,
but
that thou hast
eaten
of
the
tree whereof
I
commanded thee
that thou shouldst
not
eat?
\VS{12}And Adam
said:
The
woman,
whom thou gavest
me
to
be
my companion,
gave
me
of
the
tree,
and
I
did
eat.
\VS{13}And
the
Lord
God
said
to
the
woman:
Why hast thou
done
this?
And
she
answered:
The
serpent deceived
me,
and
I
did
eat.
\VS{14}And
the
Lord
God
said
to
the
serpent:
Because thou hast
done
this
thing, thou art
cursed
among
all
cattle,
and
beasts
of
the
earth:
upon thy breast shalt thou go,
and
earth shalt thou
eat
all
the
days
of thy
life.
\VS{15}I
will
put enmities
between thee
and
the
woman,
and thy
seed
and
her
seed:
she
shall crush thy
head,
and thou shalt lie
in wait
for
her
heel.
\VS{16}To
the
woman also
he
said:
I
will
multiply thy sorrows,
and thy conceptions:
in sorrow shalt thou
bring
forth
children,
and thou shalt
be under thy
husband’s power,
and
he
shall
have
dominion
over thee.
\VS{17}And
to
Adam
he
said:
Because thou hast hearkened
to
the
voice
of thy
wife,
and hast
eaten
of
the
tree, whereof
I
commanded thee
that thou shouldst
not
eat,
cursed
is
the
earth
in thy work;
with labour
and
toil shalt thou
eat thereof
all
the
days
of thy
life.
\VS{18}Thorns
and
thistles
shall
it bring
forth
to thee;
and thou shalt
eat
the
herbs
of
the earth.
\VS{19}In
the
sweat
of thy
face shalt thou
eat
bread
till thou
return
to
the
earth,
out
of
which thou wast
taken:
for
dust thou art,
and
into
dust thou shalt
return.
\VS{20}And Adam
called
the
name
of
his
wife
Eve:
because
she
was
the
mother
of
all
the
living.
\VS{21}And
the
Lord
God
made
for Adam
and
his
wife,
garments
of
skins,
and
clothed
them.
\VS{22}And
he
said:
Behold Adam
is
become
as
one
of
us,
knowing
good
and
evil:
now,
therefore,
lest
perhaps
he
put
forth
his
hand,
and
take
also
of
the
tree
of
life,
and
eat,
and
live
for
ever.
\VS{23}And
the
Lord
God
sent
him
out
of
the paradise
of pleasure,
to
till
the
earth
from
which
he
was
taken.
\VS{24}And
he cast
out Adam;
and placed
before
the paradise
of pleasure Cherubims,
and
a flaming
sword,
turning every
way,
to
keep
the
way
of
the
tree
of
life.

\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And Adam
knew
Eve
his
wife:
who
conceived
and
brought
forth
Cain,
saying:
I
have
gotten
a
man through
God.
\VS{2}And
again she
brought
forth
his
brother
Abel.
And
Abel
was
a
shepherd,
and
Cain
a husbandman.
\VS{3}And
it
came
to
pass
after many
days,
that
Cain offered,
of
the
fruits
of
the
earth,
gifts
to
the
Lord.
\VS{4}Abel
also offered
of
the firstlings
of
his
flock,
and
of
their
fat:
and
the
Lord
had respect
to
Abel,
and
to
his
offerings.
\VS{5}But
to
Cain
and
his
offerings
he
had
no
respect:
and
Cain
was
exceedingly
angry,
and
his
countenance
fell.
\VS{6}And
the
Lord
said
to
him:
Why art thou
angry?
and
why
is thy
countenance
fallen?
\VS{7}If thou
do
well, shalt thou
not
receive?
but
if ill,
shall
not
sin forthwith
be present
at
the
door?
but
the lust thereof
shall
be under thee,
and thou shalt
have
dominion
over
it.
\VS{8}And
Cain
said
to
Abel
his
brother:
Let
us
go forth abroad.
And
when
they
were
in
the
field,
Cain
rose
up
against
his
brother
Abel,
and
slew
him.
\VS{9}And
the
Lord
said
to
Cain:
Where
is thy
brother
Abel?
And
he
answered,
I
know
not:
am
I
my
brother’s
keeper?
\VS{10}And
he
said
to
him:
What hast thou
done?
the
voice
of thy
brother’s
blood crieth
to
me
from
the
earth.
\VS{11}Now,
therefore,
cursed shalt thou
be
upon
the
earth,
which hath
opened
her
mouth
and
received
the
blood
of thy
brother
at thy
hand.
\VS{12}When thou shalt
till
it,
it
shall
not
yield
to thee
its fruit:
a fugitive
and
a vagabond shalt thou
be
upon
the
earth.
\VS{13}And
Cain
said
to
the
Lord:
My
iniquity
is
greater
than
that
I
may deserve
pardon.
\VS{14}Behold thou dost cast
me
out
this
day
from
the
face
of
the
earth,
and
I
shall
be
hidden
from thy
face,
and
I
shall
be
a vagabond
and
a fugitive
on
the
earth:
every
one,
therefore,
that findeth
me,
shall
kill
me.
\VS{15}And
the
Lord
said
to
him:
No,
it
shall
not
be
so:
but whosoever
shall
kill
Cain,
shall
be
punished
sevenfold.
And
the
Lord
set
a
mark
upon
Cain,
that whosoever
found
him
should
not
kill
him.
\VS{16}And
Cain
went
out
from
the
face
of
the
Lord,
and
dwelt
as
a fugitive
on
the
earth,
at
the
east side
of
Eden.
\VS{17}And
Cain
knew
his
wife,
and
she
conceived,
and
brought
forth Henoch:
and
he
built
a
city,
and
called
the
name thereof
by
the
name
of
his
son Henoch.
\VS{18}And Henoch
begot
Irad,
and
Irad
begot Maviael,
and Maviael
begot Mathusael,
and Mathusael
begot
Lamech:
\VS{19}Who
took
two
wives:
the
name
of
the
one
was Ada,
and
the
name
of
the
other Sella.
\VS{20}And Ada
brought
forth Jabel:
who
was
the
father
of
such
as
dwell
in
tents,
and
of
herdsmen.
\VS{21}And
his
brother’s
name
was
Jubal;
he
was
the
father
of
them
that
play
upon
the
harp
and
the organs.
\VS{22}Sella
also
brought
forth Tubalcain,
who
was
a hammerer
and artificer
in
every work
of
brass
and
iron.
And
the
sister
of Tubalcain
was Noema.
\VS{23}And
Lamech
said
to
his
wives Ada
and Sella:
Hear
my
voice, ye
wives
of
Lamech, hearken
to
my speech:
for
I
have
slain
a
man
to
the
wounding
of myself,
and
a stripling
to
my
own bruising.
\VS{24}Sevenfold
vengeance shall
be
taken
for
Cain:
but
for
Lamech
seventy
times
sevenfold.
\VS{25}Adam
also
knew
his
wife
again:
and
she
brought
forth
a
son,
and
called
his
name
Seth, saying:
God hath
given
me
another
seed,
for
Abel
whom
Cain
slew.
\VS{26}But
to
Seth
also
was
born
a
son,
whom
he
called Enos;
this
man
began
to
call
upon
the
name
of
the
Lord.

is
the

of
the generation
of
Adam.
In
the
day
that
God
created

he
made

God.
\VS{2}He
created

male

after
that
men
began
to
be
multiplied
upon
the

and
daughters
were
born
to
them,
\VS{2}The
sons
of
God
seeing
the
daughters
of
men,
that
they
were fair,
took
to
themselves
wives
of
all
which
they
chose.
\VS{3}And
God
said:
My

not
remain
in
man
for
ever,
because
he
is
flesh,
and
his
days
shall
be
a
hundred

\VS{4}Now giants
were
upon

in
those
days.
For
after

went
in
to
the
daughters
of

they
brought
forth
children,
these
are
the
mighty

men

renown.

seeing
that

wickedness
of
men
was
great
on
the
earth,
and
that
all
the

heart
was bent
upon
evil
at
all

\VS{6}It
repented
him
that
he
had
made
man
on

earth.
And being touched inwardly
with sorrow
of
heart,
\VS{7}He
said:
I
will
destroy
man,
whom
I
have
created,
from
the
face
of
the
earth,
from
man
even
to
beasts,
from
the
creeping
thing
even
to
the fowls

the air,
for
it repenteth
me
that
I
have
made
them.
\VS{8}But Noe
found
grace
before
the
Lord.
\VS{9}These
are
the
generations
of Noe: Noe
was
a
just
and
perfect
man
in
his
generations,
he
walked
with
God.
\VS{10}And
he
begot
three
sons, Sem, Cham,
and
Japheth.
\VS{11}And
the
earth
was
corrupted
before
God,
and
was
filled
with iniquity.
\VS{12}And
when
God
had
seen
that
the
earth
was
corrupted (for
all
flesh
had
corrupted
its
way
upon
the
earth,)
\VS{13}He
said
to Noe:
The
end
of
all
flesh
is
come
before
me,
the
earth
is
filled
with iniquity
through
them,
and
I
will
destroy
them
with
the
earth.
\VS{14}Make thee an
ark
of
timber planks: thou shalt
make little
rooms
in
the
ark,
and thou shalt
pitch
it
within
and without.
\VS{15}And
thus shalt thou
make
it:
The
length
of
the
ark
shall be
three
hundred
cubits:
the
breadth
of
it
fifty
cubits,
and
the
height
of
it
thirty

\VS{16}Thou shalt
make
a window
in
the
ark,
and
in
a
cubit shalt thou
finish
the
top
of
it:
and
the
door
of
the
ark thou shalt
set
in
the
side:
with
lower, middle chambers,
and
third stories shalt thou
make
it.
\VS{17}Behold
I
will
bring
the
waters
of
a great
flood
upon
the
earth,
to
destroy
all
flesh,
wherein
is
the
breath
of
life,
under
heaven.
All
things
that
are
in
the
earth
shall
be consumed.
\VS{18}And
I
will
establish
my
covenant
with thee,
and thou shalt
enter
into
the
ark, thou
and thy
sons,
and thy
wife,
and
the
wives
of thy
sons
with thee.
\VS{19}And
of
every
living
creature
of
all
flesh, thou shalt
bring
two
of
a sort
into
the
ark,
that
they
may
live
with thee:
of
the
male sex,
and
the
female.
\VS{20}Of fowls
according

in

according

be
eaten,

lay
it
up
with thee:
and

\VS{22}And Noe
did
all
things
which
God
commanded
him.

the
Lord
said
to
him:
Go
in thou

just
before
me
in
this
generation.
\VS{2}Of
all

take
seven

seven,

male
and

\VS{3}But
of

that
are unclean two

Of

of

seven
and
seven,
the

seed
may
be saved
upon

face

\VS{4}For
yet
a
while,
and
after
seven
days,
I
will
rain
upon
the
earth
forty
days
and
forty
nights;
and
I
will
destroy
every substance
that
I
have
made,
from
the
face
of

\VS{5}And Noe
did
all
things
which
the
Lord
had
commanded
him.
\VS{6}And
he
was
six
hundred
years
old,
when
the
waters
of
the
flood overflowed
the
earth.
\VS{7}And Noe
went
in
and
his
sons,
his
wife
and
the
wives
of
his
sons
with
him
into
the
ark,
because
of
the
waters
of
the
flood.
\VS{8}And
of
beasts
clean
and unclean,
and
of fowls,
and
of
every
thing
that moveth
upon
the
earth,
\VS{9}Two
and
two
went
in
to Noe
into
the
ark,
male
and
female,
as
the Lord
had
commanded Noe.
\VS{10}And
after
the
seven
days
were
passed,
the
waters
of
the
flood overflowed
the
earth.
\VS{11}In
the
six
hundredth
year
of
the
life
of Noe,
in
the
second
month,
in
the seventeenth
day
of
the
month,
all
the
fountains
of

great
deep
were
broken
up,
and
the flood gates
of
heaven
were
opened:
\VS{12}And
the
rain
fell
upon

earth
forty
days
and
forty
nights.
\VS{13}In

day Noe,
and Sem,
and Cham,
and
Japheth
his
sons:
his
wife,
and
the
three
wives

according

in
their

every

that moveth

\VS{15}Went
in
to Noe
into
the
ark,
two
and
two
of
all
flesh,
wherein
was
the
breath
of
life.
\VS{16}And
they
that
went
in,
went
in
male
and
female
of
all
flesh,
as
God
had
commanded
him:
and
the
Lord
shut
him
in
on
the outside.
\VS{17}And
the
flood
was
forty
days
upon
the
earth,
and
the
waters
increased,
and
lifted
up
the
ark
on
high
from
the
earth.
\VS{18}For
they overflowed
exceedingly:
and filled
all
on
the
face
of
the
earth:
and
the
ark
was
carried
upon
the
waters.
\VS{19}And
the
waters
prevailed
beyond
measure
upon
the
earth:
and
all
the
high
mountains
under
the
whole
heaven
were
covered.
\VS{20}The
water
was
fifteen
cubits
higher
than
the
mountains
which
it
covered.
\VS{21}And
all
flesh
was destroyed
that
moved
upon

earth,
both
of
fowl,

of
cattle,
and
of
beasts,
and
of
all creeping
things
that

earth:
and
all
men.
\VS{22}And
all
things
wherein
there
is
the
breath

died.
\VS{23}And
he
destroyed
all
the substance
that

earth,
from
man
even
to

and
the
creeping
things

of

were
destroyed
from
the
earth:
and Noe
only
remained,
and
they
that
were
with
him
in
the
ark.
\VS{24}And
the
waters
prevailed
upon
the
earth
a
hundred
and
fifty
days.

\par }\Chap{8}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
God
remembered Noe,
and
all
the
living
creatures,
and
all
the
cattle
which
were
with
him
in
the
ark,
and
brought
a
wind
upon
the
earth,
and
the
waters
were abated.
\VS{2}The
fountains also
of
the
deep,
and
the flood gates
of
heaven
were
shut
up,
and
the
rain
from
heaven
was
restrained.
\VS{3}And
the
waters
returned
from
off
the
earth
going
and
coming:
and
they began
to
be abated
after
a
hundred
and
fifty
days.
\VS{4}And
the
ark
rested
in
the
seventh
month,
the
seven
and twentieth
day
of
the
month,
upon
the
mountains
of Armenia.
\VS{5}And
the
waters
were
going
and decreasing
until
the
tenth
month:
for
in
the
tenth
month,
the
first
day
of
the
month,
the
tops
of
the
mountains
appeared.
\VS{6}And
after
that
forty
days
were
passed, Noe, opening
the
window
of
the
ark
which
he
had
made, sent forth
a raven:
\VS{7}Which
went
forth
and did
not
return,
till
the
waters
were
dried
up
upon
the
earth.
\VS{8}He
sent
forth
also
a
dove
after
him,
to
see
if
the
waters
had now ceased
upon
the
face
of
the
earth.
\VS{9}But
she,
not
finding
where
her
foot might
rest,
returned
to
him
into
the
ark:
for
the
waters
were
upon
the
whole
earth:
and
he
put
forth
his
hand,
and
caught
her,
and
brought
her
into
the
ark.
\VS{10}And having waited
yet
seven
other
days,
he
again
sent
forth
the
dove
out
of
the
ark.
\VS{11}And
she
came
to
him
in
the
evening, carrying
a bough
of
an
olive
tree,
with green
leaves,
in
her
mouth. Noe
therefore
understood
that
the
waters
were ceased
upon
the
earth.
\VS{12}And
he
stayed
yet
other
seven
days:
and
he
sent
forth
the
dove, which
returned
not
any
more unto
him.
\VS{13}Therefore
in
the
six
hundredth
and
first
year,
the
first
month,
the
first
day
of
the
month,
the
waters
were lessened
upon
the
earth,
and Noe opening
the
covering
of
the
ark,
looked,
and
saw
that
the
face
of
the
earth
was dried.
\VS{14}In
the
second
month,
the
seven
and
twentieth
day
of
the
month,
the
earth
was
dried.
\VS{15}And
God
spoke
to Noe,
saying:
\VS{16}Go
out
of
the
ark, thou
and thy
wife, thy
sons,
and
the
wives
of thy
sons
with thee.
\VS{17}All
living
things
that
are
with thee
of
all
flesh,
as
well
in fowls
as
in
beasts,
and
all
creeping
things
that
creep
upon
the
earth,
bring
out
with thee,
and
go ye
upon
the
earth:
increase
and
multiply
upon
it.
\VS{18}So Noe
went
out,
he
and
his
sons:
his
wife,
and
the
wives
of
his
sons
with
him.
\VS{19}And
all
living
things,
and cattle,
and
creeping
things
that
creep
upon
the
earth,
according
to
their
kinds,
went
out
of
the
ark.
\VS{20}And Noe
built
an
altar unto
the
Lord:
and
taking
of
all
cattle
and fowls
that
were
clean,
offered holocausts upon
the
altar.
\VS{21}And
the
Lord
smelled
a sweet savour,
and
said:
I
will
no
more
curse
the
earth
for
the
sake
of
man:
for
the
imagination
and
thought
of
man’s
heart
are prone
to
evil
from
his
youth:
therefore
I
will
no
more
destroy
every
living soul
as
I
have
done.
\VS{22}All
the
days
of
the
earth,
seedtime
and
harvest,
cold
and
heat,
summer
and
winter,
night
and
day,
shall
not
cease.

blessed Noe

said
to

let

require

increase

all
birds
as
in
cattle
and
beasts
of
the
earth,
that
are
come
forth
out
of
the
ark,
and
in
all
the
beasts
of
the
earth.
\VS{11}I
will
establish
my
covenant
with
you,
and
all
flesh
shall
be
no
more
destroyed
with
the
waters
of
a
flood,
neither
shall
there
be
from henceforth
a
flood
to
waste
the
earth.
\VS{12}And
God
said:
This
is
the
sign
of
the
covenant
which
I
give
between
me
and
you,
and
to
every
living
soul
that
is
with
you,
for
perpetual
generations.
\VS{13}I
will
set
my
bow
in
the
clouds,
and
it
shall
be
the
sign
of
a
covenant
between
me,
and
between
the
earth.
\VS{14}And
when
I
shall cover
the sky
with
clouds,
my
bow
shall
appear
in
the
clouds:
\VS{15}And
I
will
remember
my
covenant
with
you,
and
with
every
living
soul
that beareth
flesh:
and
there
shall
no
more
be
waters
of
a
flood
to
destroy
all
flesh.
\VS{16}And
the
bow
shall
be
in
the
clouds,
and
I
shall
see
it,
and
shall
remember
the
everlasting
covenant,
that
was
made
between
God
and
every
living
soul
of
all
flesh
which
is
upon
the
earth.
\VS{17}And
God
said
to Noe:
This
shall
be
the
sign
of
the
covenant
which
I
have
established
between
me
and
all
flesh
upon
the
earth.
\VS{18}And
the
sons
of Noe
who
came
out
of
the
ark,
were Sem, Cham,
and
Japheth:
and Cham
is
the
father
of Chanaan.
\VS{19}These
three
are
the
sons
of Noe:
and
from
these
was
all mankind spread
over
the
whole
earth.
\VS{20}And Noe,
a husbandman,
began
to till
the
ground,
and
planted
a
vineyard.
\VS{21}And
drinking
of
the
wine
was
made
drunk,
and
was
uncovered
in
his
tent.
\VS{22}Which
when Cham
the
father
of Chanaan
had
seen,
to wit,
that
his
father’s
nakedness
was uncovered,
he
told
it
to
his
two
brethren without.
\VS{23}But Sem
and
Japheth
put
a
cloak
upon
their
shoulders,
and going
backward,
covered
the
nakedness
of
their
father:
and
their
faces
were
turned
away,
and
they
saw
not
their
father’s
nakedness.
\VS{24}And Noe awaking
from
the
wine,
when
he
had
learned
what
his
younger
son
had
done
to
him,
\VS{25}He
said:
Cursed
be Chanaan,
a
servant
of
servants
shall
he
be unto
his
brethren.
\VS{26}And
he
said:
Blessed
be
the
Lord
God
of Sem,
be Chanaan
his
servant.
\VS{27}May
God
enlarge
Japheth,
and
may
he
dwell
in
the
tents
of Sem,
and Chanaan
be
his
servant.
\VS{28}And Noe
lived
after
the
flood
three
hundred
and
fifty
years:
\VS{29}And
all
his
days
were
in
the
whole
nine
hundred
and
fifty
years:
and
he
died.

\par }\Chap{10}{\PP \VerseOne{1}These
are
the
generations
of
the
sons
of Noe: Sem, Cham,
and
Japheth:
and unto
them
sons
were
born
after
the
flood.
\VS{2}The
sons
of
Japheth:
Gomer,
and
Magog,
and
Madai,
and
Javan,
and Thubal,
and Mosoch,
and Thiras.
\VS{3}And
the
sons
of
Gomer: Ascenez
and
Riphath
and Thogorma.
\VS{4}And
the
sons
of
Javan: Elisa
and Tharsis, Cetthim
and
Dodanim.
\VS{5}By
these
were
divided
the
islands
of
the
Gentiles
in
their
lands,
every
one
according
to
his
tongue
and
their
families
in
their
nations.
\VS{6}And
the
sons
of Cham: Chus,
and Mesram,
and Phuth,
and Chanaan.
\VS{7}And
the
sons
of Chus: Saba,
and Hevila,
and Sabatha,
and Regma,
and Sabatacha.
The
sons
of Regma: Saba
and Dadan.
\VS{8}Now Chus
begot Nemrod:
he
began
to
be
mighty
on
the
earth.
\VS{9}And
he
was
a stout
hunter
before
the
Lord.
Hence
came
a proverb:
Even
as Nemrod
the stout
hunter
before
the
Lord.
\VS{10}And
the
beginning
of
his
kingdom
was
Babylon,
and Arach,
and Achad,
and Chalanne
in
the
land
of Sennaar.
\VS{11}Out
of
that
land
came
forth Assur,
and
built Ninive,
and
the streets
of
the
city,
and Chale.
\VS{12}Resen
also
between Ninive
and Chale:
this
is
the
great
city.
\VS{13}And Mesraim
begot
Ludim,
and
Anamim,
and Laabim, Nepthuim,
\VS{14}And Phetrusim,
and Chasluim;
of
whom
came
forth
the
Philistines,
and
the Capthorim.
\VS{15}And Chanaan
begot
Sidon,
his
firstborn,
the Hethite,
\VS{16}And
the
Jebusite,
and
the Amorrhite,
and
the Gergesite,
\VS{17}The Hevite
and
the Aracite:
the
Sinite,
\VS{18}And
the Aradian,
the Samarite,
and
the
Hamathite:
and
afterwards
the
families
of
the Chanaanites
were
spread abroad.
\VS{19}And
the limits
of Chanaan
were
from
Sidon
as
one
comes
to Gerara
even
to
Gaza,
until thou
enter
Sodom
and Gomorrha,
and Adama,
and Seboim
even
to Lesa.
\VS{20}These
are
the
children
of Cham
in
their kindreds,
and
tongues,
and generations,
and
lands,
and
nations.
\VS{21}Of Sem
also,
the
father
of
all
the
children
of Heber,
the
elder
brother
of
Japheth,
sons
were
born.
\VS{22}The
sons
of Sem:
Elam
and Assur,
and
Arphaxad,
and
Lud,
and
Aram.
\VS{23}The
sons
of
Aram: Us
and Hull,
and
Gether,
and Mess.
\VS{24}But
Arphaxad
begot Sale,
of whom
was
born Heber.
\VS{25}And
to Heber
were
born
two
sons:
the
name
of
the
one
was Phaleg,
because
in
his
days
the
earth
was
divided:
and
his
brother’s
name Jectan.
\VS{26}Which Jectan
begot Elmodad,
and Saleph,
and Asarmoth, Jare,
\VS{27}And Aduram,
and
Uzal,
and Decla,
\VS{28}And Ebal,
and
Abimael, Saba,
\VS{29}And
Ophir,
and Hevila,
and
Jobab.
All
these
were
the
sons
of Jectan.
\VS{30}And
their
dwelling
was
from Messa
as we
go
on
as far
as
Sephar,
a
mountain
in
the
east.
\VS{31}These
are
the
children
of Sem according
to
their kindreds
and
tongues,
and
countries
in
their
nations.
\VS{32}These
are
the
families
of Noe,
according
to
their peoples
and
nations.
By
these
were
the
nations
divided
on
the
earth
after
the
flood.

\par }\Chap{11}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
earth
was
of
one tongue,
and
of
the
same
speech.
\VS{2}And
when
they
removed
from
the
east,
they
found
a
plain
in
the
land
of Sennaar,
and
dwelt
in
it.
\VS{3}And
each
one
said
to
his neighbour:
Come,
let
us
make
brick,
and bake
them
with
fire.
And
they
had
brick instead
of
stones,
and slime instead
of mortar.
\VS{4}And
they
said:
Come, let
us
make
a
city
and
a
tower,
the
top whereof
may reach
to
heaven:
and let
us
make
our
name
famous
before
we
be
scattered abroad
into
all
lands.
\VS{5}And
the
Lord
came
down
to
see
the
city
and
the
tower,
which
the
children
of Adam
were
building.
\VS{6}And
he
said:
Behold,
it
is
one
people,
and
all
have
one tongue:
and
they
have
begun
to
do
this,
neither
will
they leave
off
from
their designs, till
they
accomplish
them
in deed.
\VS{7}Come ye,
therefore,
let
us
go
down,
and
there confound
their tongue,
that
they
may
not
understand
one
another’s
speech.
\VS{8}And
so
the
Lord
scattered
them
from
that
place
into
all
lands,
and
they
ceased
to
build
the
city.
\VS{9}And
therefore
the
name thereof
was
called
Babel,
because
there
the
language
of
the
whole
earth
was confounded:
and
from thence
the
Lord
scattered
them abroad
upon
the
face
of
all
countries.
\VS{10}These
are
the
generations
of Sem: Sem
was
a
hundred
years
old
when
he
begot
Arphaxad,
two
years
after
the
flood.
\VS{11}And Sem
lived
after
he
begot
Arphaxad,
five
hundred
years,
and
begot
sons
and
daughters.
\VS{12}And
Arphaxad
lived thirty-five
years,
and
begot Sale.
\VS{13}And
Arphaxad
lived
after
he
begot Sale,
three
hundred
and
three
years;
and
begot
sons
and
daughters.
\VS{14}Sale
also
lived
thirty
years,
and
begot Heber.
\VS{15}And Sale
lived
after
he
begot Heber,
four
hundred
and
three
years;
and
begot
sons
and
daughters.
\VS{16}And Heber
lived thirty-four
years,
and
begot Phaleg.
\VS{17}And Heber
lived
after
he
begot Phaleg,
four
hundred
and
thirty
years:
and
begot
sons
and
daughters.
\VS{18}Phaleg
also
lived
thirty
years,
and
begot
Reu.
\VS{19}And Phaleg
lived
after
he
begot
Reu,
two
hundred
and
nine
years,
and
begot
sons
and
daughters.
\VS{20}And
Reu
lived thirty-two
years,
and
begot Sarug.
\VS{21}And
Reu
lived
after
he
begot Sarug,
two
hundred
and
seven
years,
and
begot
sons
and
daughters.
\VS{22}And Sarug
lived
thirty
years,
and
begot Nachor.
\VS{23}And Sarug
lived
after
he
begot Nachor,
two
hundred
years:
and
begot
sons
and
daughters.
\VS{24}And Nachor
lived
nine
and
twenty
years,
and
begot Thare.
\VS{25}And Nachor
lived
after
he
begot Thare,
a
hundred
and
nineteen
years:
and
begot
sons
and
daughters.
\VS{26}And Thare
lived
seventy
years,
and
begot
Abram,
and Nachor,
and Aran.
\VS{27}And
these
are
the
generations
of Thare: Thare
begot
Abram, Nachor,
and Aran.
And Aran
begot
Lot.
\VS{28}And Aran
died
before Thare
his
father,
in
the
land
of
his nativity
in Ur
of
the
Chaldees.
\VS{29}And
Abram
and Nachor
married
wives:
the
name
of
Abram’s
wife
was
Sarai:
and
the
name
of Nachor’s
wife, Melcha,
the
daughter
of Aran,
father
of Melcha,
and
father
of Jescha.
\VS{30}And
Sarai
was
barren,
and
had
no
children.
\VS{31}And Thare
took
Abram,
his
son,
and
Lot
the
son
of Aran,
his
son’s
son,
and
Sarai
his daughter
in law,
the
wife
of
Abram
his
son,
and
brought
them
out
of Ur
of
the
Chaldees,
to
go
into
the
land
of Chanaan:
and
they
came
as
far
as
Haran,
and
dwelt
there.
\VS{32}And
the
days
of Thare
were
two
hundred
and
five
years,
and
he
died
in
Haran.

\par }\Chap{12}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
Lord
said
to
Abram: Go forth
out
of thy
country,
and
from thy
kindred,
and
out
of thy
father’s
house,
and come
into
the
land
which
I
shall shew thee.
\VS{2}And
I
will
make
of thee
a
great
nation,
and
I
will
bless thee,
and
magnify thy
name,
and thou shalt
be
blessed.
\VS{3}I
will
bless
them
that
bless thee,
and
curse
them
that
curse thee,
and
IN THEE
shall
all
the kindred
of
the
earth
be
blessed:
\VS{4}So
Abram
went
out
as
the
Lord
had
commanded
him,
and
Lot
went
with
him:
Abram
was
seventy-five
years
old
when
he
went
forth
from
Haran.
\VS{5}And
he
took
Sarai
his
wife,
and
Lot
his
brother’s
son,
and
all
the substance
which
they
had
gathered,
and
the
souls
which
they
had gotten
in
Haran:
and
they
went
out
to
go
into
the
land
of Chanaan.
And
when
they
were
come
into
it,
\VS{6}Abram
passed
through
the
country
into
the
place
of Sichem,
as
far
as
the noble vale:
now
the Chanaanite
was
at
that
time
in
the
land.
\VS{7}And
the
Lord
appeared
to
Abram,
and
said
to
him:
To thy
seed
will
I
give
this
land.
And
he
built
there
an
altar
to
the
Lord,
who
had
appeared
to
him.
\VS{8}And passing
on
from thence
to
a
mountain,
that
was
on
the
east
side
of
Bethel,
he
there
pitched
his
tent, having
Bethel
on
the
west,
and Hai
on
the
east;
he
built
there
also
an
altar
to
the
Lord,
and
called
upon
his
name.
\VS{9}And
Abram
went
forward,
going,
and proceeding
on
to
the
south.
\VS{10}And
there
came
a
famine
in
the
country;
and
Abram
went
down
into
Egypt,
to sojourn
there:
for
the
famine
was very
grievous
in
the
land.
\VS{11}And
when
he
was
near
to
enter
into
Egypt,
he
said
to
Sarai
his
wife:
I
know
that thou art
a
beautiful
woman:
\VS{12}And
that
when
the
Egyptians
shall
see thee,
they
will
say:
She
is
his
wife:
and
they
will
kill
me,
and
keep thee.
\VS{13}Say,
therefore,
I
pray thee,
that thou art
my
sister:
that
I
may
be
well used
for thee,
and
that
my
soul
may
live
for thy
sake.
\VS{14}And
when
Abram
was
come
into
Egypt,
the
Egyptians
saw
the
woman
that
she
was
very
beautiful.
\VS{15}And
the
princes
told Pharao,
and
praised
her
before
him:
and
the
woman
was
taken
into
the
house
of Pharao.
\VS{16}And they
used
Abram
well
for
her
sake.
And
he
had
sheep
and
oxen,
and
he asses,
and
men
servants
and
maid
servants,
and she asses,
and
camels.
\VS{17}But
the
Lord scourged Pharao
and
his
house
with most grievous
stripes
for
Sarai,
Abram’s
wife.
\VS{18}And Pharao
called
Abram,
and
said
to
him:
What
is
this
that thou hast
done
to
me?
Why didst thou
not
tell
me
that
she
was thy
wife?
\VS{19}For
what cause didst thou
say,
she
was thy
sister,
that
I might
take
her
to
my
wife?
Now,
therefore,
there
is thy
wife,
take
her,
and
go thy way.
\VS{20}And Pharao
gave
his
men
orders
concerning Abram:
and
they led
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,
into
the
south.
\VS{2}And he
was
very
rich
in possession
of
gold
and
silver.
\VS{3}And
he returned
by
the
way
that
he
came,
from
the
south
to
Bethel,
to
the
place
where
before
he
had pitched
his
tent
between
Bethel
and Hai:
\VS{4}In
the
place
of
the
altar
which
he
had
made
before;
and
there
he
called
upon
the
name
of
the
Lord.
\VS{5}But
Lot
also,
who
was
with
Abram,
had
flocks
of
sheep,
and
herds
of beasts,
and
tents.
\VS{6}Neither
was
the
land
able
to
bear
them,
that
they might
dwell
together:
for
their substance
was
great,
and
they
could
not
dwell
together.
\VS{7}Whereupon also
there arose
a
strife
between
the
herdsmen
of
Abram
and
of
Lot.
And
at
that
time
the Chanaanite
and
the Pherezite dwelled
in
that
country.
\VS{8}Abram
therefore
said
to
Lot:
Let
there
be
no quarrel,
I
beseech thee,
between
me
and thee,
and
between
my
herdsmen
and thy
herdsmen:
for
we
are
brethren.
\VS{9}Behold
the
whole
land
is
before thee: depart
from
me
I
pray thee:
if thou wilt
go
to
the
left
hand,
I
will take
the
right:
if thou choose
the
right
hand,
I
will pass
to
the
left.
\VS{10}And
Lot, lifting
up
his
eyes,
saw
all
the
country
about
the
Jordan,
which
was watered
throughout,
before
the
Lord
destroyed
Sodom
and Gomorrha,
as
the paradise
of
the
Lord,
and
like
Egypt
as
one
comes
to Segor.
\VS{11}And
Lot
chose
to
himself
the country
about
the
Jordan,
and
he
departed
from
the
east:
and
they
were
separated
one
brother
from
the
other.
\VS{12}Abram
dwelt
in
the
land
of Chanaan;
and
Lot
abode
in
the
towns
that
were
about
the Jordan,
and
dwelt
in
Sodom.
\VS{13}And
the
men
of
Sodom
were
very
wicked,
and
sinners before
the face
of
the
Lord, beyond
measure.
\VS{14}And
the
Lord
said
to
Abram,
after
Lot
was
separated
from
him:
Lift
up thy
eyes,
and
look
from
the
place
wherein thou
now art,
to
the
north
and
to
the
south,
to
the
east
and
to
the
west.
\VS{15}All
the
land
which thou seest,
I
will
give
to thee,
and
to thy
seed
for
ever.
\VS{16}And
I
will
make thy
seed
as
the
dust
of
the
earth:
if
any
man
be
able
to
number
the
dust
of
the
earth,
he
shall
be
able
to
number thy
seed
also.
\VS{17}Arise
and
walk
through
the
land
in
the
length,
and
in
the
breadth thereof:
for
I
will
give
it
to thee.
\VS{18}So
Abram removing
his
tent
came
and
dwelt
by
the vale
of Mambre,
which
is
in
Hebron:
and
he
built
there
an
altar
to
the
Lord.

\par }\Chap{14}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
it
came
to
pass
at
that
time,
that
Amraphel
king
of Sennaar,
and
Arioch
king
of Pontus,
and Chodorlahomor
king
of
the Elamites,
and Thadal
king
of
nations,
\VS{2}Made
war
against Bara
king
of
Sodom,
and
against Bersa
king
of Gomorrha,
and
against Sennaab
king
of Adama,
and
against Semeber
king
of Seboim,
and
against
the
king
of Bala,
which
is Segor.
\VS{3}All
these
came
together
into
the woodland vale,
which now
is
the
salt
sea.
\VS{4}For
they
had
served Chodorlahomor
twelve
years,
and
in
the thirteenth
year
they revolted
from
him.
\VS{5}And
in
the fourteenth
year
came Chodorlahomor,
and
the
kings
that
were
with
him:
and
they
smote
the Raphaim
in Astarothcarnaim,
and
the
Zuzim
with
them,
and
the Emim
in Save
of Cariathaim.
\VS{6}And
the Chorreans
in
the
mountains
of
Seir,
even
to
the plains
of Pharan,
which
is
in
the
wilderness.
\VS{7}And
they
returned,
and
came
to
the fountain
of Misphat,
the
same
is Cades:
and
they
smote
all
the
country
of
the Amalecites,
and
the Amorrhean
that
dwelt
in Asasonthamar.
\VS{8}And
the
king
of
Sodom,
and
the
king
of Gomorrha,
and
the
king
of Adama,
and
the
king
of Seboim,
and
the
king
of Bala,
which
is Segor,
went
out:
and
they
set themselves
against
them
in
battle
array
in
the woodland vale:
\VS{9}To wit,
against Chodorlahomor
king
of
the Elamites,
and Thadal
king
of
nations,
and
Amraphel
king
of Sennaar,
and
Arioch
king
of Pontus:
four
kings
against
five.
\VS{10}Now
the woodland vale
had many
pits
of slime.
And
the
king
of
Sodom,
and
the
king
of Gomorrha turned
their backs
and
were overthrown
there:
and
they
that
remained
fled
to
the
mountain.
\VS{11}And
they
took
all
the substance
of
the Sodomites,
and Gomorrhites,
and
all
their victuals,
and went
their
way:
\VS{12}And
Lot
also,
the
son
of
Abram’s
brother,
who
dwelt
in
Sodom,
and
his substance.
\VS{13}And behold
one
that
had escaped
told
Abram
the
Hebrew,
who
dwelt
in
the vale
of Mambre
the Amorrhite,
the
brother
of Escol,
and
the
brother
of
Aner:
for
these
had
made
league
with
Abram.
\VS{14}Which
when
Abram
had
heard,
to wit,
that
his
brother Lot
was
taken,
he
numbered
of
the servants
born
in
his
house,
three
hundred
and
eighteen well appointed:
and
pursued
them
to
Dan.
\VS{15}And
dividing
his company,
he rushed
upon
them
in
the
night:
and
defeated
them,
and
pursued
them
as
far
as Hoba,
which
is
on
the
left
hand
of
Damascus.
\VS{16}And
he
brought
back
all
the substance,
and
Lot
his
brother,
with
his substance,
the
women
also
and
the
people.
\VS{17}And
the
king
of
Sodom
went
out
to
meet
him,
after
he
returned
from
the
slaughter
of Chodorlahomor,
and
of
the
kings
that
were
with
him
in
the vale
of Save,
which
is
the
king’s vale.
\VS{18}But Melchisedech
the
king
of
Salem,
bringing
forth
bread
and
wine,
for
he
was
the
priest
of
the
most high
God,
\VS{19}Blessed
him,
and
said:
Blessed
be
Abram
by
the most high
God,
who
created
heaven
and
earth.
\VS{20}And
blessed
be
the most high
God,
by
whose protection
the enemies
are
in thy
hands.
And
he
gave
him
the
tithes
of
all.
\VS{21}And
the
king
of
Sodom
said
to
Abram:
Give
me
the
persons,
and
the rest
take
to thyself.
\VS{22}And
he
answered
him:
I
lift
up
my
hand
to
the
Lord
God
the
most
high,
the
possessor
of
heaven
and
earth,
\VS{23}That
from
the
very woof
thread unto
the
shoe latchet,
I
will
not
take
of
any
things
that
are thine, lest thou
say
I
have
enriched
Abram:
\VS{24}Except
such
things
as
the
young
men
have
eaten,
and
the shares
of
the
men
that
came
with
me,
Aner, Escol,
and Mambre:
these
shall
take
their shares.

\par }\Chap{15}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
when
these
things
were
done,
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
Abram
by
a
vision,
saying:
Fear
not,
Abram,
I
am thy protector,
and thy
reward
exceeding
great.
\VS{2}And
Abram
said:
Lord
God,
what wilt thou
give
me?
I
shall
go without
children:
and
the
son
of
the steward
of
my
house
is
this
Damascus
Eliezer.
\VS{3}And
Abram
added:
But
to
me thou hast
not
given
seed:
and
lo
my servant,
born
in
my
house,
shall
be
my
heir.
\VS{4}And immediately
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
him,
saying:
He
shall
not
be thy
heir:
but
he
that
shall
come
out
of thy
bowels,
him shalt thou
have
for thy
heir.
\VS{5}And
he
brought
him
forth
abroad,
and
said
to
him:
Look
up
to
heaven
and
number
the
stars,
if thou canst.
And
he
said
to
him:
So
shall thy
seed
be.
\VS{6}Abram
believed
God,
and
it
was reputed
to
him unto
justice.
\VS{7}And
he
said
to
him:
I
am
the
Lord
who
brought thee
out
from Ur
of
the
Chaldees,
to
give thee
this
land,
and
that thou mightest
possess
it.
\VS{8}But
he
said:
Lord
God, whereby may
I
know
that
I
shall
possess
it?
\VS{9}And
the Lord
answered,
and
said:
Take
me
a cow
of
three years
old,
and
a she
goat
of
three years,
and
a
ram
of
three years,
a turtle also,
and
a
pigeon.
\VS{10}And
he
took
all
these,
and divided
them
in
the
midst,
and
laid
the
two pieces
of
each
one
against
the
other;
but
the
birds
he divided
not.
\VS{11}And
the fowls
came
down
upon
the
carcasses,
and
Abram
drove
them
away.
\VS{12}And
when
the
sun
was setting,
a
deep
sleep
fell
upon
Abram,
and
a
great
and darksome horror
seized
upon
him.
\VS{13}And
it
was
said unto
him:
Know thou beforehand
that thy
seed
shall
be
a
stranger
in
a
land
not
their
own,
and
they
shall
bring
them under
bondage,
and
afflict
them
four
hundred
years.
\VS{14}But
I
will
judge
the
nation
which
they
shall
serve,
and
after
this
they
shall
come
out
with
great substance.
\VS{15}And thou shalt
go
to thy
fathers
in
peace,
and
be
buried
in
a
good
old
age.
\VS{16}But
in
the
fourth
generation
they
shall
return hither:
for
as
yet
the
iniquities
of
the Amorrhites
are
not
at
the
full
until
this
present
time.
\VS{17}And
when
the
sun
was
set,
there arose
a
dark mist,
and
there
appeared
a
smoking
furnace
and
a lamp
of
fire
passing
between
those divisions.
\VS{18}That
day
God
made
a
covenant
with
Abram,
saying:
To thy
seed
will
I
give
this
land,
from
the
river
of
Egypt
even
to
the
great
river
Euphrates.
\VS{19}The Cineans
and Cenezites,
the Cedmonites,
\VS{20}And
the Hethites,
and
the Pherezites,
the Raphaim
also,
\VS{21}And
the Amorrhites,
and
the Chanaanites,
and
the Gergesites,
and
the
Jebusites.

\par }\Chap{16}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
Sarai
the
wife
of
Abram,
had
brought
forth
no
children;
but
having
a handmaid,
an
Egyptian,
named Agar,
\VS{2}She
said
to
her husband:
Behold,
the
Lord hath
restrained
me
from
bearing:
go
in unto
my handmaid,
it
may
be
I
may
have
children
of
her
at least.
And
when
he
agreed
to
her
request,
\VS{3}She
took Agar
the
Egyptian
her handmaid,
ten
years
after
they first
dwelt
in
the
land
of Chanaan,
and
gave
her
to
her
husband
to
wife.
\VS{4}And
he
went
in
to
her.
But
she, perceiving
that
she
was
with
child,
despised
her
mistress.
\VS{5}And
Sarai
said
to
Abram: Thou dost unjustly
with
me:
I
gave
my handmaid
into thy
bosom,
and
she perceiving
herself
to
be
with
child, despiseth
me.
The
Lord
judge
between
me
and thee.
\VS{6}And
Abram
made
answer,
and
said
to
her:
Behold thy handmaid
is
in thy
own
hand, use
her
as
it pleaseth thee.
And
when
Sarai afflicted
her,
she
ran
away.
\VS{7}And
the
angel
of
the
Lord having
found
her,
by
a fountain
of
water
in
the
wilderness,
which
is
in
the
way
to Sur
in
the
desert,
\VS{8}He
said
to
her: Agar, handmaid
of
Sarai, whence comest thou?
and whither goest thou?
And
she
answered:
I
flee
from
the
face
of
Sarai,
my
mistress.
\VS{9}And
the
angel
of
the
Lord
said
to
her:
Return
to thy
mistress,
and humble thyself
under
her
hand.
\VS{10}And again
he
said:
I
will
multiply thy
seed exceedingly,
and
it
shall
not
be
numbered
for
multitude.
\VS{11}And again:
Behold,
said
he, thou art
with
child,
and thou shalt
bring
forth
a
son:
and thou shalt
call
his
name Ismael,
because
the
Lord hath
heard thy affliction.
\VS{12}He
shall
be
a
wild
man:
his
hand
will
be
against
all
men,
and
all
men’s
hands
against
him:
and
he
shall pitch
his tents
over
against
all
his
brethren.
\VS{13}And
she
called
the
name
of
the
Lord
that
spoke unto
her: Thou
the
God
who hast
seen
me.
For
she
said: Verily
here
have
I
seen
the hinder parts
of
him
that seeth
me.
\VS{14}Therefore
she
called
that
well,
The
well
of
him
that liveth
and seeth
me.
The
same
is
between Cades
and Barad.
\VS{15}And Agar
brought
forth
a
son
to
Abram:
who
called
his
name Ismael.
\VS{16}Abram
was four score
and
six
years
old
when Agar
brought
him
forth Ismael.

\par }\Chap{17}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
after
he
began
to
be
ninety
and
nine
years
old,
the
Lord
appeared
to
him:
and
said unto
him:
I
am
the
Almighty
God:
walk
before
me,
and
be
perfect.
\VS{2}And
I
will
make
my
covenant
between
me
and thee:
and
I
will
multiply thee
exceedingly.
\VS{3}Abram
fell
flat
on
his
face.
\VS{4}And God said
to
him:
I
AM,
and
my
covenant
is
with thee,
and thou shalt
be
a
father
of
many
nations.
\VS{5}Neither
shall thy
name
be
called
any
more
Abram:
but thou shalt
be
called
Abraham:
because
I
have
made thee
a
father
of
many
nations.
\VS{6}And
I
will
make thee
increase,
exceedingly,
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
between thy
seed
after thee
in
their
generations,
by
a
perpetual
covenant:
to
be
a
God
to thee,
and
to thy
seed
after thee.
\VS{8}And
I
will
give
to thee,
and
to thy
seed,
the
land
of thy sojournment,
all
the
land
of Chanaan
for
a
perpetual
possession,
and
I
will
be
their
God.
\VS{9}Again
God
said
to
Abraham:
And thou
therefore shalt
keep
my
covenant,
and thy
seed
after thee
in
their
generations.
\VS{10}This
is
my
covenant
which
you
shall
observe,
between
me
and
you,
and thy
seed
after thee:
All
the
male kind
of
you
shall
be
circumcised:
\VS{11}And
you
shall circumcise
the
flesh
of
your
foreskin,
that
it
may
be
for
a
sign
of
the
covenant
between
me
and
you.
\VS{12}An infant
of
eight
days
old
shall
be
circumcised
among
you,
every
man
child
in
your
generations:
he
that
is
born
in
the
house,
as
well
as
the
bought servant
shall
be
circumcised,
and whosoever
is
not
of
your stock:
\VS{13}And
my
covenant
shall
be
in
your
flesh
for
a
perpetual
covenant.
\VS{14}The
male,
whose
flesh
of
his
foreskin
shall
not
be
circumcised,
that
soul
shall
be
destroyed
out
of
his
people:
because
he hath
broken
my
covenant.
\VS{15}God
said
also
to
Abraham:
Sarai thy
wife thou shalt
not
call
Sarai,
but Sara.
\VS{16}And
I
will
bless
her,
and
of
her
I
will
give thee
a
son, whom
I
will
bless,
and
he
shall
become
nations,
and
kings
of
people
shall spring
from
him.
\VS{17}Abraham
fell
upon
his
face,
and
laughed,
saying
in
his
heart:
Shall
a
son, thinkest thou,
be
born
to
him
that
is
a
hundred
years
old?
and
shall Sara
that
is
ninety
years
old
bring
forth?
\VS{18}And
he
said
to
God:
O
that Ismael
may
live
before thee.
\VS{19}And
God
said
to
Abraham: Sara thy
wife
shall
bear thee
a
son,
and thou shalt
call
his
name
Isaac,
and
I
will
establish
my
covenant
with
him
for
a
perpetual
covenant,
and
with
his
seed
after
him.
\VS{20}And
as
for Ismael
I
have
also
heard thee.
Behold,
I
will
bless
him,
and
increase,
and
multiply
him
exceedingly:
he
shall
beget
twelve
chiefs,
and
I
will
make
him
a
great
nation.
\VS{21}But
my
covenant
I
will
establish
with
Isaac,
whom Sara
shall
bring
forth
to thee
at
this
time
in
the
next
year.
\VS{22}And
when
he
had
left
off
speaking
with
him,
God
went
up
from
Abraham.
\VS{23}And
Abraham
took Ismael
his
son,
and
all
that
were
born
in
his
house:
and
all
whom
he
had
bought,
every
male
among
the
men
of
his
house:
and
he
circumcised
the
flesh
of
their
foreskin forthwith
the
very
same
day,
as
God
had
commanded
him.
\VS{24}Abraham
was
ninety
and
nine
years
old,
when
he
circumcised
the
flesh
of
his
foreskin.
\VS{25}And Ismael
his
son
was full
thirteen
years
old
at
the
time
of
his circumcision.
\VS{26}The selfsame
day
was
Abraham
circumcised
and Ismael
his
son.
\VS{27}And
all
the
men
of
his
house,
as well
they
that
were
born
in
his
house,
as
the
bought
servants
and strangers
were
circumcised
with
him.

\par }\Chap{18}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
Lord
appeared
to
him
in
the vale
of Mambre
as
he
was
sitting
at
the
door
of
his
tent,
in
the very
heat
of
the
day.
\VS{2}And
when
he
had
lifted
up
his
eyes,
there
appeared
to
him
three
men
standing
near
him:
and
as soon
as
he
saw
them
he
ran
to
meet
them
from
the
door
of
his
tent,
and adored
down
to
the
ground.
\VS{3}And
he
said:
Lord,
if
I
have
found favour
in thy
sight,
pass
not
away
from thy
servant:
\VS{4}But
I
will fetch
a
little
water,
and
wash ye
your
feet,
and
rest ye
under
the
tree.
\VS{5}And
I
will
set
a
morsel
of
bread,
and strengthen ye
your
heart,
afterwards
you
shall
pass
on:
for
therefore
are
you come
aside
to
your
servant.
And
they
said:
Do
as thou hast
spoken.
\VS{6}Abraham
made
haste
into
the
tent
to Sara,
and
said
to
her:
Make
haste, temper together
three
measures
of
flour,
and
make
cakes
upon
the hearth.
\VS{7}And
he
himself
ran
to
the
herd,
and
took
from thence
a
calf very
tender
and very
good,
and
gave
it
to
a
young
man:
who
made
haste
and boiled
it.
\VS{8}He
took
also
butter
and
milk,
and
the
calf
which
he
had boiled,
and
set
before
them:
but
he
stood
by
them
under
the
tree.
\VS{9}And
when
they
had eaten,
they
said
to
him:
Where
is Sara thy
wife?
He
answered:
Lo, she
is
in
the
tent.
\VS{10}And
he
said
to
him:
I
will
return
and
come
to thee
at
this
time,
life accompanying
and Sara thy
wife
shall
have
a
son.
Which
when Sara
heard,
she laughed
behind
the
door
of
the
tent.
\VS{11}Now
they
were both
old,
and far
advanced
in
years,
and
it
had
ceased
to
be
with Sara
after
the manner
of
women.
\VS{12}And
she
laughed secretly,
saying:
After
I
am
grown
old
and
my
lord
is
an
old man,
shall
I
give myself
to pleasure?
\VS{13}And
the
Lord
said
to
Abraham:
Why
did Sara
laugh,
saying:
Shall
I
who
am
an
old
woman
bear
a
child
indeed?
\VS{14}Is
there any
thing
hard
to
God?
According
to
appointment
I
will
return
to thee
at
this
same
time,
life accompanying,
and Sara
shall
have
a
son.
\VS{15}Sara
denied,
saying:
I
did
not
laugh:
for
she
was
afraid.
But
the Lord
said, Nay:
but thou didst
laugh:
\VS{16}And
when
the
men
rose
up
from thence,
they turned
their eyes towards
Sodom:
and
Abraham
walked
with
them, bringing
them
on
the
way.
\VS{17}And
the
Lord
said:
Can
I
hide
from
Abraham
what
I
am about
to
do:
\VS{18}Seeing
he
shall
become
a
great
and
mighty
nation,
and
in
him
all
the
nations
of
the
earth
shall
be
blessed?
\VS{19}For
I
know
that
he
will
command
his
children,
and
his
household
after
him
to
keep
the
way
of
the
Lord,
and
do
judgment
and
justice:
that
for
Abraham’s
sake
the
Lord
may
bring
to effect
all
the
things
he hath
spoken unto
him.
\VS{20}And
the
Lord
said:
The
cry
of
Sodom
and Gomorrha
is multiplied,
and
their
sin
is become
exceedingly grievous.
\VS{21}I
will
go
down
and
see
whether
they
have
done
according
to
the
cry
that
is
come
to
me:
or
whether
it
be
not
so,
that
I
may
know.
\VS{22}And
they
turned themselves
from thence,
and
went
their
way
to
Sodom:
but
Abraham
as
yet
stood
before
the
Lord.
\VS{23}And drawing nigh
he
said: Wilt thou
destroy
the
just
with
the
wicked?
\VS{24}If
there
be
fifty
just
men
in
the
city,
shall
they
perish withal?
and wilt thou
not
spare
that
place
for
the
sake
of
the
fifty
just,
if
they
be therein?
\VS{25}Far
be
it
from thee
to
do
this
thing,
and
to
slay
the
just
with
the
wicked,
and
for
the
just
to
be
in
like
case
as
the
wicked,
this
is
not beseeming thee: thou
who judgest
all
the
earth, wilt
not
make
this
judgment.
\VS{26}And
the
Lord
said
to
him:
If
I
find
in
Sodom
fifty
just
within
the
city,
I
will
spare
the
whole
place
for
their
sake.
\VS{27}And
Abraham
answered,
and
said: Seeing
I
have once begun,
I
will
speak
to
my
Lord, whereas
I
am
dust
and
ashes.
\VS{28}What
if
there
be
five
less
than
fifty
just persons? wilt thou
for
five
and
forty
destroy
the
whole
city?
And
he
said:
I
will
not
destroy
it,
if
I
find
five
and
forty.
\VS{29}And
again
he
said
to
him:
But
if
forty
be
found
there,
what wilt thou
do?
He
said:
I
will
not
destroy
it
for
the
sake
of
forty.
\VS{30}Lord, saith
he,
be
not
angry,
I
beseech thee,
if
I
speak:
What
if
thirty
shall
be
found
there?
He
answered:
I
will
not
do
it,
if
I
find
thirty
there.
\VS{31}Seeing, saith
he,
I
have once begun,
I
will
speak
to
my
Lord.
What
if
twenty
be
found
there?
He
said:
I
will
not
destroy
it
for
the
sake
of
twenty.
\VS{32}I
beseech thee, saith
he,
be
not
angry,
Lord,
if
I
speak
yet
once
more:
What
if
ten
should
be
found
there?
And
he
said:
I
will
not
destroy
it
for
the
sake
of
ten.
\VS{33}And
the
Lord departed,
after
he
had
left
speaking
to
Abraham:
and
Abraham
returned
to
his
place.

\par }\Chap{19}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
two
angels
came
to
Sodom
in
the
evening,
and
Lot
was
sitting
in
the
gate
of
the
city.
And
seeing
them,
he
rose
up
and
went
to
meet
them:
and worshipped
prostrate
to
the
ground,
\VS{2}And
said:
I
beseech
you,
my
lords,
turn
in
to
the
house
of
your
servant,
and lodge
there:
wash
your
feet,
and
in
the
morning
you
shall
go
on
your
way.
And
they
said:
No,
but
we
will abide
in
the
street.
\VS{3}He
pressed
them
very
much
to
turn
in unto
him:
and
when
they
were
come
into
his
house,
he
made
them
a
feast,
and
baked
unleavened
bread
and
they
ate:
\VS{4}But
before
they
went
to
bed,
the
men
of
the
city beset
the
house
both
young
and
old,
all
the
people
together.
\VS{5}And
they
called
Lot,
and
said
to
him:
Where
are
the
men
that
came
in
to thee
at
night?
bring
them
out hither
that
we
may
know
them:
\VS{6}Lot
went
out
to
them,
and
shut
the
door
after
him,
and
said:
\VS{7}Do
not
so,
I
beseech you,
my
brethren,
do
not commit
this
evil.
\VS{8}I
have
two
daughters
who
as
yet
have
not
known
man:
I
will
bring
them
out
to
you,
and abuse
you
them
as
it
shall
please
you,
so
that
you
do
no evil
to
these
men,
because
they
are
come
in
under
the
shadow
of
my
roof.
\VS{9}But
they
said:
Get thee
back thither.
And again: Thou camest
in,
said
they,
as
a, stranger,
was
it
to
be
a
judge?
therefore
we
will afflict thee
more than
them.
And
they
pressed
very
violently
upon
Lot:
and
they
were even
at
the
point
of
breaking open
the
doors.
\VS{10}And behold
the
men
put
out
their
hand,
and drew
in
Lot unto
them,
and
shut
the
door:
\VS{11}And
them
that
were without,
they
struck
with
blindness
from
the least
to
the
greatest,
so
that
they
could not
find
the
door.
\VS{12}And
they
said
to
Lot: Hast thou
here
any
of thine?
son
in law,
or
sons,
or
daughters,
all
that
are thine
bring
them
out
of
this
city:
\VS{13}For
we
will
destroy
this
place,
because
their
cry
is
grown loud
before
the
Lord,
who hath
sent
us
to
destroy
them.
\VS{14}So
Lot
went
out,
and
spoke
to
his sons
in law
that
were
to
have
his
daughters,
and
said:
Arise:
get
you
out
of
this
place,
because
the
Lord
will
destroy
this
city.
And
he
seemed
to
them
to
speak
as
it
were
in jest.
\VS{15}And
when
it
was
morning,
the
angels
pressed
him,
saying:
Arise,
take thy
wife,
and
the
two
daughters
which thou hast:
lest thou
also
perish
in
the wickedness
of
the
city.
\VS{16}And
as
he lingered,
they
took
his
hand,
and
the
hand
of
his
wife,
and
of
his
two
daughters,
because
the
Lord spared
him.
\VS{17}And
they
brought
him
forth,
and
set
him
without
the city:
and
there
they
spoke
to
him,
saying:
Save thy
life:
look
not
back,
neither
stay thou
in
all
the
country
about:
but
save thyself
in
the
mountain,
lest thou
be
also consumed.
\VS{18}And
Lot
said
to
them:
I
beseech thee
my
Lord,
\VS{19}Because thy
servant hath
found
grace
before thee,
and thou hast
magnified thy mercy,
which thou hast shewn
to
me,
in saving
my
life,
and
I
cannot
escape
to
the
mountain,
lest
some
evil seize
me,
and
I
die:
\VS{20}There
is
this
city
here
at
hand,
to
which
I
may
flee,
it
is
a
little
one,
and
I
shall
be
saved
in
it:
is
it
not
a
little
one,
and
my
soul
shall
live?
\VS{21}And
he
said
to
him:
Behold
also
in
this,
I
have heard thy prayers,
not
to
destroy
the
city
for
which thou hast
spoken.
\VS{22}Make
haste
and
be
saved
there,
because
I
cannot
do
any
thing
till thou
go
in thither.
Therefore
the
name
of
that
city
was
called Segor.
\VS{23}The
sun
was
risen
upon
the
earth,
and
Lot
entered
into Segor.
\VS{24}And
the
Lord
rained
upon
Sodom
and Gomorrha
brimstone
and
fire
from
the
Lord
out
of
heaven.
\VS{25}And
he
destroyed
these
cities,
and
all
the
country
about,
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
cities,
and
all
things
that spring
from
the
earth.
\VS{26}And
his
wife
looking
behind
her,
was
turned
into
a statue
of
salt.
\VS{27}And
Abraham
got
up
early
in
the
morning
and
in
the
place
where
he
had
stood
before
with
the
Lord,
\VS{28}He
looked towards
Sodom
and Gomorrha,
and
the
whole
land
of
that
country:
and
he
saw
the ashes
rise
up
from
the
earth
as
the
smoke
of
a
furnace.
\VS{29}Now
when
God
destroyed
the
cities
of
that country,
remembering
Abraham,
he
delivered
Lot
out
of
the
destruction
of
the
cities
wherein
he
had
dwelt.
\VS{30}And
Lot
went
up
out
of Segor,
and
abode
in
the
mountain,
and
his
two
daughters
with
him, (for
he
was
afraid
to
stay
in Segor,)
and
he
dwelt
in
a
cave,
he
and
his
two
daughters
with
him.
\VS{31}And
the elder
said
to
the
younger
Our
father
is
old,
and
there
is
no
man
left
on
the
earth,
to
come
in unto
us
after
the
manner
of
the
whole
earth.
\VS{32}Come, let
us
make
him
drunk
with
wine,
and let
us
lie
with
him,
that we
may
preserve
seed
of
our
father.
\VS{33}And
they
made
their
father
drink
wine
that
night:
and
the elder
went
in
and
lay
with
her
father:
but
he
perceived
not
neither
when
his daughter
lay
down,
nor
when
she
rose
up.
\VS{34}And
the
next
day
the elder
said
to
the
younger:
Behold
I
lay
last
night
with
my
father,
let
us
make
him
drink
wine
also
to
night,
and thou shalt
lie
with
him,
that
we
may save
seed
of
our
father.
\VS{35}They
made
their
father
drink
wine
that
night
also,
and
the
younger daughter
went
in,
and
lay
with
him:
and
neither
then
did
he
perceive
when
she
lay
down,
nor
when
she
rose
up.
\VS{36}So
the
two
daughters
of
Lot
were
with
child
by
their
father.
\VS{37}And
the elder
bore
a
son,
and
she
called
his
name
Moab:
he
is
the
father
of
the
Moabites unto
this
day.
\VS{38}The
younger
also
bore
a
son,
and
she
called
his
name
Ammon,
that
is,
the
son
of
my
people:
he
is
the
father
of
the
Ammonites unto
this
day.

\par }\Chap{20}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Abraham
removed
from thence
to
the
south
country,
and
dwelt
between Cades
and Sur,
and sojourned
in Gerara.
\VS{2}And
he
said
of Sara
his
wife:
She
is
my
sister.
So
Abimelech
the
king
of Gerara
sent,
and
took
her.
\VS{3}And
God
came
to
Abimelech
in
a
dream
by
night,
and
he
said
to
him:
Lo thou shalt
die
for
the
woman thou hast
taken:
for
she hath
a
husband.
\VS{4}Now
Abimelech
had
not touched
her,
and
he
said:
Lord, wilt thou
slay
a
nation,
that
is ignorant
and
just?
\VS{5}Did
not
he
say
to
me:
She
is
my
sister:
and
she
say,
He
is
my
brother?
in
the simplicity
of
my
heart,
and
cleanness
of
my
hands
have
I
done
this.
\VS{6}And
God
said
to
him:
And
I
know
that thou didst
it
with
a sincere
heart:
and
therefore
I
withheld thee
from
sinning
against
me,
and
I suffered thee
not
to
touch
her.
\VS{7}Now
therefore
restore
the
man
his
wife,
for
he
is
a
prophet:
and
he
shall
pray
for thee,
and thou shalt
live:
but
if thou wilt
not
restore
her,
know
that thou shalt
surely
die, thou
and
all
that
are thine.
\VS{8}And
Abimelech forthwith
rising
up
in
the night,
called
all
his
servants:
and
spoke
all
these
words
in
their
hearing,
and
all
the
men
were
exceedingly
afraid.
\VS{9}And
Abimelech
called
also
for
Abraham,
and
said
to
him:
What hast thou
done
to
us?
what
have
we
offended thee
in,
that thou hast
brought
upon
me
and
upon
my
kingdom
a
great
sin? thou hast
done
to
us
what thou oughtest
not
to
do.
\VS{10}And again
he expostulated
with
him,
and
said,
What sawest thou,
that thou hast
done
this?
\VS{11}Abraham
answered:
I
thought
with myself,
saying:
Perhaps
there
is
not
the
fear
of
God
in
this
place:
and
they
will
kill
me
for
the
sake
of
my
wife:
\VS{12}Howbeit,
otherwise
also
she
is
truly
my
sister,
the
daughter
of
my
father,
and
not
the
daughter
of
my
mother,
and
I
took
her
to
wife.
\VS{13}And
after
God
brought
me
out
of
my
father’s
house,
I
said
to
her: Thou shalt
do
me
this
kindness:
In
every
place,
to
which
we
shall
come, thou shalt
say
that
I
am thy
brother.
\VS{14}And
Abimelech
took
sheep
and
oxen,
and
servants
and handmaids,
and
gave
to
Abraham:
and
restored
to
him Sara,
his
wife.
\VS{15}And
said:
The
land
is
before
you,
dwell wheresoever
it
shall please thee.
\VS{16}And
to Sara
he
said:
Behold
I
have
given thy
brother
a
thousand pieces
of
silver:
this
shall serve thee
for
a
covering
of thy
eyes
to
all
that
are
with thee,
and whithersoever thou shalt
go:
and remember thou wast
taken.
\VS{17}And
when
Abraham
prayed,
God
healed
Abimelech
and
his
wife,
and
his
handmaids,
and
they
bore
children:
\VS{18}For
the
Lord
had
closed
up
every
womb
of
the
house
of
Abimelech
on
account
of Sara,
Abraham’s
wife.

\par }\Chap{21}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
Lord
visited Sara,
as
he
had
promised:
and fulfilled
what
he
had
spoken.
\VS{2}And
she
conceived
and
bore
a
son
in
her
old
age,
at
the
time
that
God
had foretold
her.
\VS{3}And
Abraham
called
the
name
of
his
son,
whom Sara
bore
him,
Isaac.
\VS{4}And
he
circumcised
him
the
eighth
day,
as
God
had
commanded
him,
\VS{5}When
he
was
a
hundred
years
old:
for
at this
age
of
his
father
was
Isaac
born.
\VS{6}And Sara
said:
God hath
made
a
laughter
for
me: whosoever shall
hear
of
it
will
laugh
with
me.
\VS{7}And again
she
said:
Who
would believe
that
Abraham
should hear
that Sara
gave
suck
to
a
son,
whom
she
bore
to
him
in
his
old
age.
\VS{8}And
the
child
grew
and
was
weaned:
and
Abraham
made
a
great
feast
on
the
day
of
his weaning.
\VS{9}And
when Sara
had
seen
the
son
of Agar
the
Egyptian playing
with Isaac
her
son,
she said
to
Abraham:
\VS{10}Cast
out
this bondwoman,
and
her
son:
for
the
son
of
the bondwoman
shall
not
be
heir
with
my
son
Isaac.
\VS{11}Abraham took
this grievously
for
his
son.
\VS{12}And
God
said
to
him:
Let
it
not
seem grievous
to thee
for
the
boy,
and
for thy bondwoman:
in
all
that Sara hath
said
to thee, hearken
to
her
voice:
for
in
Isaac
shall thy
seed
be
called.
\VS{13}But
I
will
make
the
son
also
of
the bondwoman
a great
nation,
because
he
is thy
seed.
\VS{14}So
Abraham
rose
up
in
the
morning,
and
taking
bread
and
a bottle
of
water,
put
it
upon
her
shoulder,
and
delivered
the
boy,
and
sent
her
away.
And she departed,
and
wandered
in
the
wilderness
of Bersabee.
\VS{15}And
when
the
water
in
the bottle
was
spent, she
cast
the
boy
under
one
of
the trees
that
were
there.
\VS{16}And
she
went
her way,
and
sat
over
against
him
a great way
off
as
far
as
a
bow
can
carry,
for
she
said:
I
will
not
see
the
boy
die:
and
sitting
over
against,
she
lifted
up
her
voice
and
wept.
\VS{17}And
God
heard
the
voice
of
the
boy:
and
an
angel
of
God
called
to Agar
from
heaven,
saying:
What art thou doing, Agar?
fear
not:
for
God hath
heard
the
voice
of
the
boy,
from
the
place
wherein
he
is.
\VS{18}Arise,
take
up
the
boy,
and
hold
him
by
the
hand:
for
I
will
make
him
a
great
nation.
\VS{19}And
God
opened
her
eyes:
and
she
saw
a
well
of
water,
and went
and
filled
the bottle,
and
gave
the
boy
to
drink.
\VS{20}And
God
was
with
him:
and
he
grew,
and
dwelt
in
the
wilderness,
and
became
a
young
man,
an archer.
\VS{21}And
he
dwelt
in
the
wilderness
of Pharan,
and
his
mother
took
a
wife
for
him
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt.
\VS{22}At
the
same
time
Abimelech,
and
Phicol
the
general
of
his
army
said
to
Abraham:
God
is
with thee
in
all
that thou dost.
\VS{23}Swear
therefore
by
God,
that thou wilt
not hurt
me,
nor
my
posterity,
nor
my stock:
but according
to
the
kindness
that
I
have
done
to thee, thou shalt
do
to
me,
and
to
the
land
wherein thou hast
lived
a stranger.
\VS{24}And
Abraham
said:
I
will
swear.
\VS{25}And
he
reproved
Abimelech
for
a
well
of
water,
which
his
servants
had
taken
away
by
force.
\VS{26}And
Abimelech
answered:
I
knew
not
who
did
this
thing:
and thou didst
not
tell
me,
and
I
heard
not
of
it till
today.
\VS{27}And
Abraham
took
sheep
and
oxen
and
gave
them
to
Abimelech:
and
both
of
them
made
a
league.
\VS{28}And
Abraham
set
apart
seven
ewe
lambs
of
the
flock.
\VS{29}And
Abimelech
said
to
him:
What mean
these
seven
ewe
lambs
which thou hast
set
apart?
\VS{30}But
he
said: Thou shalt
take
seven
ewe
lambs
at
my
hand:
that
they
may
be
a testimony
for
me,
that
I
dug
this
well.
\VS{31}Therefore
that
place
was
called Bersabee:
because
there
both
of
them
did
swear.
\VS{32}And
they
made
a
league
for
the well
of oath.
\VS{33}And Abimelech,
and Phicol
the general
of
his army arose
and returned
to
the land
of
the Palestines.
But
Abraham
planted
a grove
in Bersabee,
and
there
called
upon
the
name
of
the
Lord
God
eternal.
\VS{34}And
he
was
a sojourner
in
the
land
of
the Palestines
many
days.

\par }\Chap{22}{\PP \VerseOne{1}After
these
things,
God
tempted
Abraham,
and
said
to
him:
Abraham,
Abraham.
And
he
answered:
Here
I
am.
\VS{2}He
said
to
him:
Take thy
only begotten
son
Isaac,
whom thou lovest,
and
go
into
the
land
of vision:
and
there thou shalt
offer
him
for
an holocaust
upon
one
of
the
mountains
which
I
will
show thee.
\VS{3}So
Abraham
rising
up
in
the night,
saddled
his ass:
and
took
with
him
two
young
men,
and
Isaac
his
son:
and
when
he
had cut
wood
for
the holocaust
he
went
his way
to
the
place
which
God
had
commanded
him.
\VS{4}And
on
the
third
day, lifting
up
his
eyes,
he
saw
the
place
afar
off.
\VS{5}And
he
said
to
his
young
men:
Stay
you
here
with
the ass:
I
and
the
boy
will
go
with speed
as
far
as yonder,
and
after
we
have worshipped,
will
return
to
you.
\VS{6}And
he
took
the
wood
for
the holocaust,
and
laid
it
upon
Isaac
his
son:
and
he
himself
carried
in
his
hands
fire
and
a sword.
And
as
they
two went
on
together,
\VS{7}Isaac
said
to
his
father:
My
father.
And
he
answered: What wilt thou,
son?
Behold, saith
he,
fire
and
wood:
where
is
the victim
for
the holocaust?
\VS{8}And
Abraham
said:
God
will
provide himself
a victim
for
an holocaust,
my
son.
So
they went
on
together.
\VS{9}And
they
came
to
the
place
which
God
had shown
him,
where
he
built
an
altar,
and
laid
the
wood
in
order
upon
it:
and
when
he
had
bound
Isaac
his
son,
he
laid
him
on
the
altar
upon
the pile
of
wood.
\VS{10}And
he
put
forth
his
hand
and
took
the sword,
to sacrifice
his
son.
\VS{11}And
behold
an
angel
of
the
Lord
from
heaven
called
to
him,
saying:
Abraham,
Abraham.
And
he
answered:
Here
I
am.
\VS{12}And
he
said
to
him:
Lay
not thy
hand
upon
the
boy,
neither
do thou
any
thing
to
him:
now
I
know
that thou fearest
God,
and hast
not
spared thy
only begotten
son
for
my sake.
\VS{13}Abraham
lifted
up
his
eyes,
and
saw
behind
his
back
a
ram amongst
the briers sticking
fast
by
the
horns,
which
he
took
and
offered
for
a holocaust
instead
of
his
son.
\VS{14}And
he
called
the
name
of
that
place,
The
Lord seeth. Whereupon even
to
this
day
it
is
said:
In
the
mountain
the
Lord
will
see.
\VS{15}And
the
angel
of
the
Lord
called
to
Abraham
a
second
time
from
heaven, saying:
\VS{16}By
my own self
have
I
sworn, saith
the
Lord:
because thou hast
done
this
thing,
and hast
not
spared thy
only begotten
son
for
my sake:
\VS{17}I
will
bless thee,
and
I
will
multiply thy
seed
as
the
stars
of
heaven,
and
as
the
sand
that
is
by
the
sea
shore: thy
seed
shall
possess
the
gates
of
their
enemies.
\VS{18}And
in thy
seed
shall
all
the
nations
of
the
earth
be
blessed,
because thou hast
obeyed
my
voice.
\VS{19}Abraham
returned
to
his
young
men,
and
they
went
to Bersabee
together,
and
he
dwelt
there.
\VS{20}After
these
things,
it
was
told
Abraham
that Melcha
also
had
borne
children
to Nachor
his
brother.
\VS{21}Hus
the
firstborn,
and
Buz
his
brother,
and Camuel
the
father
of
the Syrians,
\VS{22}And Cased,
and Azau,
and Pheldas,
and Jedlaph,
\VS{23}And Bathuel,
of
whom
was
born Rebecca:
These
eight did Melcha
bear
to Nachor
Abraham’s
brother.
\VS{24}And
his
concubine,
named Roma,
bore Tabee,
and
Gaham,
and Tahas,
and Maacha.

\par }\Chap{23}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And Sara
lived
a
hundred
and twenty-seven
years.
\VS{2}And
she
died
in
the
city
of Arbee
which
is
Hebron,
in
the
land
of Chanaan:
and
Abraham
came
to
mourn
and
weep
for
her.
\VS{3}And
after
he
rose
up
from
the funeral obsequies,
he
spoke
to
the
children
of
Heth,
saying:
\VS{4}I
am
a
stranger
and
sojourner
among
you:
give
me
the right
of
a
burying
place
with
you,
that
I
may
bury
my
dead.
\VS{5}The
children
of
Heth
answered,
saying:
\VS{6}My
Lord,
hear
us, thou art
a
prince
of
God
among
us:
bury thy
dead
in
our principal sepulchres:
and
no
man
shall
have power
to hinder thee
from
burying thy
dead
in
his sepulchre.
\VS{7}Abraham
rose
up,
and
bowed
down
to
the
people
of
the
land,
to wit
the
children
of
Heth:
\VS{8}And
said
to
them:
If
it
please
your
soul
that
I
should
bury
my
dead,
hear
me,
and
intercede
for
me
to
Ephron
the
son
of Seor.
\VS{9}That
he
may
give
me
the double
cave,
which
he hath
in
the
end
of
his
field:
for
as
much
money
as
it
is worth
he
shall
give
it
me before
you,
for
a
possession
of
a burying
place.
\VS{10}Now
Ephron
dwelt
in
the
midst
of
the
children
of
Heth.
And
Ephron
made
answer
to
Abraham
in
the
hearing
of
all
that
went
in
at
the
gate
of
the
city,
saying:
\VS{11}Let
it
not
be
so,
my
lord,
but
do thou
rather hearken
to
what
I say:
The
field
I
deliver
to thee,
and
the
cave
that
is therein,
in
the
presence
of
the
children
of
my
people,
bury thy
dead.
\VS{12}Abraham
bowed
down
before
the
people
of
the
land,
\VS{13}And
he
spoke
to
Ephron,
in
the presence
of
the
people:
I beseech thee
to
hear
me:
I
will
give
money
for
the
field:
take
it,
and
so
I
will
bury
my
dead
in
it.
\VS{14}And
Ephron
answered:
\VS{15}My
lord,
hear
me.
The
ground
which thou desirest,
is
worth
four
hundred sicles
of
silver:
this
is
the
price
between
me
and thee:
but
what
is
this?
bury thy
dead.
\VS{16}And
when
Abraham
had
heard
this,
he
weighed
out
the
money
that
Ephron
had
asked,
in
the
hearing
of
the
children
of
Heth,
four
hundred sicles
of
silver
of
common current
money.
\VS{17}And
the
field
that
before
was
Ephron’s,
wherein
was
the double
cave, looking towards Mambre,
both
it
and
the
cave,
and
all
the
trees thereof
in
all
its limits
round
about,
\VS{18}Was
made sure
to
Abraham
for
a
possession,
in
the
sight
of
the
children
of
Heth,
and
of
all
that
went
in
at
the
gate
of
his
city.
\VS{19}And
so
Abraham
buried Sara
his
wife,
in
a double
cave
of
the
field,
that looked towards Mambre,
this
is
Hebron
in
the
land
of Chanaan.
\VS{20}And
the
field
was
made sure
to
Abraham,
and
the
cave
that
was
in
it,
for
a
possession
to bury
in,
by
the
children
of
Heth.

\par }\Chap{24}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
Abraham
was
old;
and
advanced
in
age:
and
the
Lord
had
blessed
him
in
all
things.
\VS{2}And
he
said
to
the
elder
servant
of
his
house,
who
was
ruler
over
all
he
had:
Put thy
hand
under
my
thigh,
\VS{3}That
I
may
make thee
swear
by
the
Lord
the
God
of
heaven
and
earth,
that thou
take
not
a
wife
for
my
son,
of
the
daughters
of
the Chanaanites,
among
whom
I
dwell:
\VS{4}But
that thou go
to
my own
country
and
kindred,
and
take
a
wife
from thence
for
my
son
Isaac.
\VS{5}The
servant
answered:
If
the
woman
will
not
come
with
me
into
this
land,
must
I
bring thy
son
back
again
to
the
place,
from whence thou camest
out?
\VS{6}And
Abraham
said:
Beware thou
never
bring
my
son
back
again thither.
\VS{7}The
Lord
God
of
heaven,
who
took
me
out
of
my
father’s
house,
and
out
of
my
native
country,
who
spoke
to
me,
and
swore
to
me,
saying:
To thy
seed
will
I
give
this
land:
he
will
send
his
angel
before thee,
and thou shalt
take
from thence
a
wife
for
my
son.
\VS{8}But
if
the
woman
will
not
follow thee, thou shalt
not
be bound
by
the
oath;
only
bring
not
my
son
back thither
again.
\VS{9}The
servant therefore
put
his
hand
under
the
thigh
of
Abraham
his
lord,
and
swore
to
him
upon
this
word.
\VS{10}And
he
took
ten
camels
of
his
master’s herd,
and departed, carrying something
of
all
his goods
with
him,
and
he
set forward
and
went
on
to
Mesopotamia
to
the
city
of Nachor.
\VS{11}And
when
he
had made
the
camels lie
down without
the
town near
a
well
of
water
in
the
evening,
at
the
time
when women are wont
to
come
out
to
draw
water,
he
said:
\VS{12}O
Lord
the
God
of
my
master
Abraham,
meet
me
today,
I
beseech thee,
and
show
kindness
to
my
master
Abraham.
\VS{13}Behold
I
stand nigh
the
spring
of
water,
and
the
daughters
of
the inhabitants
of
this
city
will
come
out
to
draw
water.
\VS{14}Now,
therefore,
the maid
to
whom
I
shall
say:
Let
down thy
pitcher
that
I
may
drink:
and
she
shall
answer,
Drink,
and
I
will
give thy
camels
drink
also:
let
it
be
the
same
whom thou hast
provided
for thy
servant
Isaac:
and
by
this
I
shall
understand,
that thou hast
shown
kindness
to
my
master.
\VS{15}He
had
not
yet
ended
these words
within
himself,
and
behold Rebecca
came
out,
the daughter
of Bathuel,
son
of Melcha,
wife
to Nachor
the
brother
of
Abraham,
having
a
pitcher
on
her
shoulder:
\VS{16}An
exceeding comely maid,
and
a
most
beautiful
virgin,
and
not
known
to
man:
and
she
went
down
to
the
spring,
and
filled
her
pitcher
and
was
coming
back.
\VS{17}And
the
servant
ran
to
meet
her,
and
said:
Give
me
a
little
water
to
drink
of thy
pitcher.
\VS{18}And
she
answered:
Drink,
my
lord.
And
quickly
she
let
down
the
pitcher
upon
her
arm,
and
gave
him
drink.
\VS{19}And
when
he
had
drunk,
she
said:
I
will
draw
water
for thy
camels
also,
till
they
all
drink.
\VS{20}And pouring
out
the
pitcher
into
the
troughs, she
ran
back
to
the
well
to
draw
water:
and having drawn she gave
to
all
the
camels.
\VS{21}But
he musing beheld
her
with silence, desirous
to
know
whether
the
Lord
had
made
his
journey
prosperous
or
not.
\VS{22}And
after
that
the
camels
had
drunk,
the
man
took
out
golden
earrings,
weighing
two sicles:
and
as many
bracelets
of
ten sicles
weight.
\VS{23}And
he
said
to
her:
Whose
daughter art thou?
tell
me:
is
there
any
place
in thy
father’s
house
to lodge?
\VS{24}And
she
answered:
I
am
the
daughter
of Bathuel,
the
son
of Melcha,
whom
she
bore
to Nachor.
\VS{25}And
she
said
moreover
to
him: We
have good store
of
both
straw
and hay,
and
a
large
place
to lodge
in.
\VS{26}The
man
bowed
himself
down,
and adored
the
Lord,
\VS{27}Saying:
Blessed
be
the
Lord
God
of
my
master
Abraham,
who hath
not taken
away
his
mercy
and
truth
from
my
master,
and hath
brought
me
the straight
way into
the
house
of
my
master’s
brother.
\VS{28}Then
the maid
ran,
and
told
in
her
mother’s
house,
all
that
she
had
heard.
\VS{29}And Rebecca
had
a
brother
named
Laban,
who
went
out
in haste
to
the
man,
to
the well.
\VS{30}And
when
he
had
seen
the
earrings
and
bracelets
in
his
sister’s
hands,
and
had
heard
all
that she related,
saying:
Thus
and
thus
the
man
spoke
to
me:
he
came
to
the
man
who
stood
by
the
camels,
and
near
to
the
spring
of water,
\VS{31}And
said
to
him:
Come
in, thou
blessed
of
the
Lord:
why standest thou without?
I
have
prepared
the
house,
and
a
place
for
the
camels.
\VS{32}And
he
brought
him
in
into
his lodging:
and
he unharnessed
the
camels
and
gave
straw
and hay,
and
water
to
wash
his
feet,
and
the
feet
of
the
men
that
were
come
with
him.
\VS{33}And bread
was set
before
him.
But
he
said:
I
will
not
eat,
till
I
tell
my
message.
He
answered
him:
Speak.
\VS{34}And
he
said:
I
am
the
servant
of
Abraham:
\VS{35}And
the
Lord hath
blessed
my
master wonderfully,
and
he
is
become
great:
and
he hath
given
him
sheep
and
oxen,
silver
and
gold,
men
servants
and
women
servants,
camels
and asses.
\VS{36}And Sara
my
master’s
wife hath
borne
my
master
a
son
in
her
old
age,
and
he hath
given
him
all
that
he
had.
\VS{37}And
my
master
made
me
swear,
saying: Thou shalt
not
take
a
wife
for
my
son
of
the Chanaanites,
in
whose
land
I
dwell:
\VS{38}But thou shalt go
to
my
father’s
house,
and shalt
take
a
wife
of
my own kindred
for
my
son:
\VS{39}But
I
answered
my
master: What
if
the
woman
will
not come
with
me?
\VS{40}The
Lord,
said
he,
in
whose
sight
I
walk,
will
send
his
angel
with thee,
and
will
direct thy
way:
and thou shalt
take
a
wife
for
my
son
of
my
own kindred,
and
of
my
father’s
house.
\VS{41}But thou shalt
be
clear
from
my
curse,
when thou shalt
come
to
my kindred,
if
they
will
not
give thee
one.
\VS{42}And
I
came
today
to
the
well
of water,
and
said:
O
Lord
God
of
my
master
Abraham,
if thou hast prospered
my
way,
wherein
I
now
walk,
\VS{43}Behold
I
stand
by
the well
of
water,
and
the
virgin,
that
shall
come
out
to
draw
water,
who
shall hear
me
say:
Give
me
a
little
water
to
drink
of thy
pitcher:
\VS{44}And
shall
say
to
me:
Both
drink thou,
and
I
will
also
draw
for thy
camels: let
the
same
be
the
woman,
whom
the
Lord hath prepared
for
my
master’s
son.
\VS{45}And whilst
I pondered
these things secretly
with
myself, Rebecca
appeared
coming
with
a
pitcher,
which
she
carried
on
her
shoulder:
and
she
went
down
to
the
well
and
drew
water.
And
I
said
to
her:
Give
me
a little
to
drink.
\VS{46}And
she speedily
let
down
the
pitcher
from
her shoulder,
and
said
to
me:
Both
drink thou,
and
to thy
camels
I
will
give
drink.
I
drank,
and
she
watered
the
camels.
\VS{47}And
I
asked
her,
and
said:
Whose
daughter art thou?
And
she
answered:
I am
the
daughter
of Bathuel,
the
son
of Nachor,
whom Melcha
bore
to
him.
So
I
put
earrings
on
her
to adorn
her
face,
and
I
put
bracelets
on
her
hands.
\VS{48}And falling
down
I adored
the
Lord,
blessing
the
Lord
God
of
my
master
Abraham,
who hath
brought
me
the straight
way
to
take
the
daughter
of
my
master’s
brother
for
his
son.
\VS{49}Wherefore
if
you
do
according
to mercy
and
truth
with
my
master,
tell
me:
but
if
it please
you
otherwise,
tell
me
that
also,
that
I
may go
to
the
right
hand,
or
to
the
left.
\VS{50}And
Laban
and Bathuel
answered:
The
word hath
proceeded
from
the
Lord,
we
cannot
speak
any other
thing
to thee
but
his pleasure.
\VS{51}Behold Rebecca
is
before thee,
take
her
and
go thy
way,
and
let
her
be
the
wife
of thy
master’s
son,
as
the
Lord hath
spoken.
\VS{52}Which
when
Abraham’s
servant
heard, falling
down
to
the
ground
he adored
the
Lord.
\VS{53}And
bringing
forth
vessels
of
silver
and
gold,
and
garments,
he
gave
them
to Rebecca
for
a
present.
He
offered gifts also
to
her
brothers,
and
to
her
mother.
\VS{54}And
a banquet
was
made,
and
they
ate
and
drank
together,
and lodged
there.
And
in
the
morning,
the servant
arose,
and
said:
Let
me depart,
that
I
may
go
to
my
master.
\VS{55}And
her
brother
and
mother
answered: Let
the maid
stay
at least
ten
days
with
us,
and
afterwards
she
shall depart.
\VS{56}Stay
me
not,
said
he,
because
the
Lord hath prospered
my
way:
send
me
away,
that
I
may
go
to
my
master.
\VS{57}And
they
said: Let
us
call
the maid,
and
ask
her
will.
\VS{58}And
they
called
her,
and
when
she
was come,
they
asked: Wilt thou go
with
this
man?
She
said:
I
will go.
\VS{59}So
they
sent
her
away,
and
her
nurse,
and
Abraham’s
servant,
and
his company,
\VS{60}Wishing prosperity
to
their
sister,
and
saying: Thou art
our
sister, mayst thou increase
to
thousands
of
thousands,
and
may thy
seed
possess
the
gates
of
their
enemies.
\VS{61}So Rebecca
and
her
maids, being
set
upon
camels,
followed
the
man:
who
with speed returned
to
his master.
\VS{62}At
the
same time
Isaac
was walking
along
the way
to
the well
which
is called
Of
the
living
and
the seeing:
for
he
dwelt
in
the
south
country.
\VS{63}And
he
was
gone
forth
to
meditate
in
the
field,
the day being
now well spent:
and
when
he
had
lifted
up
his
eyes,
he
saw
camels
coming afar
off.
\VS{64}Rebecca
also,
when
she
saw
Isaac, lighted
off
the
camel,
\VS{65}And
said
to
the
servant:
Who
is
that
man
who cometh towards
us
along
the
field?
And
he
said
to
her:
That
man
is
my
master.
But
she quickly
took
her cloak,
and
covered
herself.
\VS{66}And
the
servant
told
Isaac
all
that
he
had
done.
\VS{67}Who
brought
her
into
the
tent
of Sara
his
mother,
and
took
her
to
wife:
and
he
loved
her
so much,
that
it moderated
the sorrow
which
was occasioned
by
his
mother’s death.

\par }\Chap{25}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Abraham
married
another
wife,
named Cetura:
\VS{2}Who
bore
him Zamran,
and Jecsan,
and Madan,
and Madian,
and Jesboc,
and Sue.
\VS{3}Jecsan
also
begot Saba
and Dadan.
The
children
of Dadan
were Assurim,
and Latusim,
and Loomin.
\VS{4}But
of Madian
was
born Epha,
and Opher,
and Henoch,
and
Abida,
and Eldaa:
all
these
were
the
children
of Cetura.
\VS{5}And
Abraham
gave
all
his possessions
to
Isaac.
\VS{6}And
to
the
children
of
the
concubines
he
gave
gifts,
and separated
them
from
Isaac
his
son,
while
he
yet
lived,
to
the
east
country.
\VS{7}And
the
days
of
Abraham’s
life
were
a
hundred
and
seventy-five
years.
\VS{8}And decaying
he
died
in
a
good
old
age,
and having lived
a
long time,
and being
full
of days:
and
was
gathered
to
his
people.
\VS{9}And
Isaac
and Ismael
his
sons
buried
him
in
the double
cave,
which
was
situated
in
the
field
of
Ephron
the
son
of Seor
the Hethite,
over
against Mambre;
\VS{10}Which
he
had
bought
of
the
children
of
Heth:
there
was
he
buried,
and Sara
his
wife.
\VS{11}And
after
his
death,
God
blessed
Isaac
his
son,
who
dwelt
by
the
well named
Of
the
living
and seeing.
\VS{12}These
are
the
generations
of Ismael
the
son
of
Abraham,
whom Agar
the
Egyptian, Sara’s
servant,
bore unto
him:
\VS{13}And
these
are
the
names
of
his
children according
to their calling
and
generations.
The
firstborn
of Ismael
was Nabajoth,
then Cedar,
and
Adbeel,
and Mabsam.
\VS{14}And Masma,
and Duma,
and
Massa,
\VS{15}Hadar,
and Thema,
and Jethur,
and Naphis,
and Cedma.
\VS{16}These
are
the
sons
of Ismael:
and
these
are
their
names
by
their castles
and
towns,
twelve
princes
of
their
tribes.
\VS{17}And
the
years
of Ismael’s
life
were
a
hundred
and thirty-seven,
and decaying
he
died,
and
was
gathered unto
his
people.
\VS{18}And
he
dwelt
from Hevila
as
far
as Sur,
which looketh towards
Egypt,
to
them
that
go towards
the Assyrians.
He
died
in
the
presence
of
all
his
brethren.
\VS{19}These
also
are
the
generations
of
Isaac
the
son
of
Abraham:
Abraham
begot
Isaac:
\VS{20}Who
when
he
was
forty
years
old,
took
to
wife Rebecca
the
daughter
of Bathuel
the
Syrian
of Mesopotamia,
sister
to
Laban.
\VS{21}And
Isaac besought
the
Lord
for
his
wife,
because
she
was
barren;
and
he
heard
him,
and
made Rebecca
to
conceive.
\VS{22}But
the
children
struggled
in
her womb:
and
she
said:
If
it
were
to
be
so
with
me,
what
need
was
there
to conceive?
And
she went
to
consult
the
Lord.
\VS{23}And
he answering
said:
Two
nations
are
in thy
womb,
and
two
peoples
shall
be
divided
out
of thy
womb,
and
one
people
shall overcome
the
other,
and
the elder
shall
serve
the
younger.
\VS{24}And
when
her
time
was
come
to
be
delivered,
behold
twins
were found
in
her
womb.
\VS{25}He
that
came
forth
first
was
red,
and
hairy
like
a skin:
and
his
name
was
called
Esau. Immediately
the
other
coming
forth, held
his brother’s foot
in
his hand,
and therefore
he
was
called Jacob.
\VS{26}Isaac
was threescore
years
old
when
the
children
were
born unto
him.
\VS{27}And
when
they
were
grown
up,
Esau
became
a
skillful
hunter,
and
a husbandman,
but
Jacob
a plain
man
dwelt
in
tents.
\VS{28}Isaac
loved
Esau,
because
he ate
of
his hunting:
and Rebecca
loved
Jacob.
\VS{29}And
Jacob boiled pottage:
to whom
Esau,
coming
faint
out
of
the
field,
\VS{30}Said:
Give
me
of
this
red pottage,
for
I
am exceeding
faint.
For
which
reason
his
name
was
called
Edom.
\VS{31}And
Jacob
said
to
him:
Sell
me thy
first
birthright.
\VS{32}He
answered:
Lo
I
die,
what
will
the
first
birthright avail
me?
\VS{33}Jacob
said:
Swear therefore
to
me.
Esau
swore
to
him,
and
sold
his
first
birthright.
\VS{34}And
so taking
bread
and
the pottage
of
lentils,
he
ate,
and
drank,
and
went
his way;
making little account
of having sold
his first
birthright.

\par }\Chap{26}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
when
a
famine
came
in
the
land,
after
that barrenness
which
had
happened
in
the
days
of
Abraham,
Isaac
went
to
Abimelech
king
of
the Palestines
to Gerara.
\VS{2}And
the
Lord
appeared
to
him
and
said:
Go
not
down
into
Egypt,
but
stay
in
the
land
that
I
shall
tell thee.
\VS{3}And sojourn
in
it,
and
I
will
be
with thee,
and
will
bless thee:
for
to thee
and
to thy
seed
I
will
give
all
these
countries,
to
fulfill
the
oath
which
I
swore
to
Abraham thy
father.
\VS{4}And
I
will
multiply thy
seed
like
the
stars
of
heaven:
and
I
will
give
to thy
posterity
all
these
countries:
and
in thy
seed
shall
all
the
nations
of
the
earth
be
blessed.
\VS{5}Because
Abraham
obeyed
my
voice,
and
kept
my precepts
and
commandments,
and
observed
my ceremonies
and
laws.
\VS{6}So
Isaac
abode
in Gerara.
\VS{7}And
when
he
was
asked
by
the
men
of
that
place,
concerning
his
wife,
he
answered:
She
is
my
sister;
for
he
was
afraid
to confess
that
she
was
his
wife,
thinking
lest
perhaps
they
would
kill
him
because
of
her beauty.
\VS{8}And
when very many
days
were
passed,
and
he abode
there,
Abimelech
king
of
the Palestines
looking
out
through
a
window,
saw
him playing
with Rebecca
his
wife.
\VS{9}And
calling
for
him,
he
said:
It
is evident
she
is thy
wife:
why didst thou feign
her
to
be thy
sister?
He
answered:
I feared
lest
I
should
die
for
her
sake.
\VS{10}And
Abimelech
said:
Why hast thou deceived
us?
Some
man
of
the
people might
have
lain
with thy
wife,
and thou hadst
brought
upon
us
a great
sin.
And
he
commanded
all
the
people,
saying:
\VS{11}He
that
shall
touch
this
man’s
wife,
shall
surely
be
put
to
death.
\VS{12}And
Isaac
sowed
in
that
land,
and
he
found
that
same
year
a hundredfold:
and
the
Lord
blessed
him.
\VS{13}And
the
man
was enriched,
and
he
went
on prospering
and increasing,
till
he
became
exceeding
great:
\VS{14}And
he
had
possessions
of
sheep
and
of
herds,
and
a
very
great family. Wherefore
the Palestines envying
him,
\VS{15}Stopped
up
at
that
time
all
the
wells,
that
the
servants
of
his
father
Abraham
had digged,
filling
them
up
with
earth:
\VS{16}Insomuch
that
Abimelech
himself
said
to
Isaac: Depart
from
us,
for thou art become
much mightier
than
we.
\VS{17}So
he departed
and came
to
the torrent
of Gerara,
to
dwell
there:
\VS{18}And
he digged
again other
wells,
which
the servants
of
his
father
Abraham
had digged,
and
which,
after
his
death,
the Palestines
had
of old
stopped
up:
and
he
called
them
by
the
same
names
by
which
his
father
before
had
called
them.
\VS{19}And
they digged
in
the torrent,
and
found
living
water.
\VS{20}But there
also
the
herdsmen
of Gerara strove
against
the
herdsmen
of
Isaac,
saying:
It
is
our
water. Wherefore
he
called
the
name
of
the
well,
on occasion
of
that
which
had happened, Calumny.
\VS{21}And
they digged
also
another;
and
for
that
they quarrelled
likewise,
and
he
called
the
name
of
it, Enmity.
\VS{22}Going forward
from thence,
he digged
another
well,
for
which
they
contended
not:
therefore
he
called
the
name thereof, Latitude,
saying:
Now hath
the
Lord
given
us
room,
and
made
us
to
increase
upon
the
earth.
\VS{23}And
he
went
up
from
that
place
to Bersabee,
\VS{24}Where
the
Lord
appeared
to
him
that
same
night,
saying:
I
am
the
God
of
Abraham thy
father;
do
not
fear,
for
I
am
with thee:
I
will
bless thee,
and
multiply thy
seed
for
my
servant
Abraham’s
sake.
\VS{25}And
he
built
there
an
altar:
and
called
upon
the
name
of
the
Lord,
and
pitched
his
tent:
and commanded
his
servants
to
dig
a
well.
\VS{26}To
which place
when
Abimelech,
and Ochozath
his friend,
and
Phicol
chief
captain
of
his soldiers
came
from Gerara,
\VS{27}Isaac
said
to
them:
Why
are ye
come
to
me,
a man whom
you
hate,
and
have
thrust
out
from
you?
\VS{28}And
they
answered:
We
saw
that
the
Lord
is
with thee,
and
therefore
we
said:
Let
there
be
an
oath
between
us,
and
let
us
make
a
covenant,
\VS{29}That thou
do
us
no
harm,
as
we
on
our
part
have
touched
nothing
of thine,
nor
have
done
any
thing
to
hurt thee:
but
with
peace
have
sent thee
away increased
with
the
blessing
of
the
Lord.
\VS{30}And
he
made
them
a
feast,
and
after
they
had
eaten
and
drunk:
\VS{31}Arising
in
the
morning,
they
swore
one
to
another:
and
Isaac
sent
them
away
peaceably
to
their
own home.
\VS{32}And behold
the
same
day
the
servants
of
Isaac
came,
telling
him
of
a
well
which
they
had digged,
and
saying:
We
have
found
water.
\VS{33}Whereupon
he
called
it Abundance:
and
the
name
of
the
city
was
called Bersabee,
even
to
this
day.
\VS{34}And
Esau
being
forty
years
old,
married
wives,
Judith
the
daughter
of
Beeri
the Hethite,
and
Basemath
the
daughter
of
Elon
of
the
same
place.
\VS{35}And they both offended
the
mind
of
Isaac
and Rebecca.

\par }\Chap{27}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
Isaac
was
old,
and
his
eyes
were dim,
and
he could
not
see:
and
he
called
Esau,
his
elder
son,
and
said
to
him:
My
son?
And
he
answered:
Here
I
am.
\VS{2}And
his father
said
to
him: Thou seest
that
I
am
old,
and
know
not
the
day
of
my
death.
\VS{3}Take thy arms, thy
quiver,
and
bow,
and
go abroad:
and
when thou hast
taken some
thing
by hunting,
\VS{4}Make
me savoury meat thereof,
as thou knowest
I
like,
and
bring
it,
that
I
may
eat:
and
my
soul
may
bless thee
before
I
die.
\VS{5}And
when Rebecca
had
heard
this,
and
he
was
gone
into
the
field
to fulfill
his father’s commandment,
\VS{6}She
said
to
her
son
Jacob:
I
heard thy
father
talking
with
Esau thy
brother,
and
saying
to
him:
\VS{7}Bring
me
of thy hunting,
and
make
me meats
that
I
may
eat,
and
bless thee
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord,
before
I
die.
\VS{8}Now,
therefore,
my
son, follow
my counsel:
\VS{9}And
go thy way
to
the
flock,
bring
me
two kids
of
the
best,
that
I
may
make
of
them meat
for thy
father,
such
as
he gladly eateth:
\VS{10}Which
when thou hast
brought
in,
and
he hath
eaten,
he
may
bless thee
before
he
die.
\VS{11}And
he
answered
her: Thou knowest
that
Esau
my
brother
is
a hairy
man,
and
I
am
smooth.
\VS{12}If
my
father
shall
feel
me,
and perceive
it,
I fear lest
he
will
think
I would
have mocked
him,
and
I
shall
bring
upon
me
a
curse
instead
of
a
blessing.
\VS{13}And
his
mother
said
to
him:
Upon
me
be this
curse,
my
son:
only
hear thou
my
voice,
and go, fetch
me
the things which
I
have
said.
\VS{14}He
went,
and
brought,
and
gave
them
to
his
mother.
She dressed meats,
such
as
she knew
his
father liked.
\VS{15}And
she
put
on
him
very good
garments
of
Esau,
which
she
had
at
home
with
her:
\VS{16}And
the little
skins
of
the kids she
put
about
his
hands,
and covered
the bare
of
his
neck.
\VS{17}And
she
gave
him
the savoury meat,
and
delivered
him
bread
that
she
had baked.
\VS{18}Which
when
he
had
carried
in,
he
said:
My
father?
But
he
answered:
I hear.
Who art thou,
my
son?
\VS{19}And
Jacob
said:
I
am
Esau thy
firstborn:
I
have
done
as thou didst
command
me:
arise,
sit,
and
eat
of
my venison,
that thy
soul
may
bless
me.
\VS{20}And
Isaac
said
to
his
son:
How couldst thou
find
it
so
quickly,
my
son?
He
answered:
It
was
the
will
of
God,
that
what
I
sought
came
quickly
in
my
way.
\VS{21}And
Isaac
said:
Come hither,
that
I
may
feel thee,
my
son,
and
may prove
whether thou
be
my
son
Esau,
or
not.
\VS{22}He
came
near
to
his
father,
and
when
he
had
felt
him,
Isaac
said:
The
voice
indeed
is
the
voice
of
Jacob;
but
the
hands
are
the
hands
of
Esau.
\VS{23}And
he knew
him
not,
because
his hairy
hands
made
him
like
to
the elder.
Then
blessing
him,
\VS{24}He
said: Art thou
my
son
Esau?
He
answered:
I
am.
\VS{25}Then
he
said:
Bring
me
the meats
of thy hunting,
my
son,
that
my
soul
may
bless thee.
And
when
they
were
brought,
and
he
had
eaten,
he offered
him
wine
also,
which
after
he
had
drunk,
\VS{26}He
said
to
him:
Come
near
me,
and
give
me
a kiss,
my
son.
\VS{27}He
came
near,
and
kissed
him.
And immediately
as
he
smelled
the fragrant
smell
of
his
garments,
blessing
him,
he
said:
Behold
the
smell
of
my
son
is
as
the
smell
of
a plentiful
field,
which
the
Lord hath
blessed.
\VS{28}God
give thee
the
dew
of
heaven,
and
of
the fatness
of
the
earth,
abundance
of corn
and
wine.
\VS{29}And let
peoples
serve thee,
and tribes
worship thee:
be thou
lord
of thy
brethren,
and let thy
mother’s
children
bow
down before thee.
Cursed
be
he
that curseth thee:
and let
him
that blesseth thee
be filled
with
blessings.
\VS{30}Isaac
had scarce
ended
his words,
when
Jacob
being
now
gone
out abroad,
Esau
came,
\VS{31}And
brought
in
to
his
father meats
made
of
what
he
had
taken
in hunting,
saying:
Arise,
my
father,
and
eat
of thy
son’s venison;
that thy
soul
may
bless
me.
\VS{32}And
Isaac
said
to
him: Why!
who art thou?
He
answered:
I
am thy
firstborn
son
Esau.
\VS{33}Isaac
was struck
with
fear,
and astonished
exceedingly:
and wondering
beyond
what
can
be believed,
said
Who
is
he
then
that
even
now
brought
me venison
that
he
had
taken,
and
I
ate
of
all
before thou camest?
and
I
have
blessed
him,
and
he
shall
be
blessed.
\VS{34}Esau having
heard
his
father’s
words, roared
out
with
a
great
cry:
and being
in
a
great consternation,
said:
Bless
me
also,
my
father.
\VS{35}And
he
said: Thy
brother
came
deceitfully
and
got thy
blessing.
\VS{36}But
he
said again: Rightly
is
his
name
called
Jacob;
for
he hath
supplanted
me
lo
this second
time:
my
first
birthright
he
took
away
before,
and
now
this second
time
he hath stolen
away
my
blessing.
And again
he
said
to
his father: Hast thou
not
reserved
me
also
a
blessing?
\VS{37}Isaac
answered:
I
have
appointed
him thy
lord,
and
have
made
all
his
brethren
his
servants:
I
have
established
him
with corn
and
wine,
and after
this,
what
shall
I
do more
for thee,
my
son?
\VS{38}And
Esau
said
to
him: Hast thou
only
one
blessing,
father?
I beseech thee
bless
me
also.
And
when
he
wept
with
a loud
cry,
\VS{39}Isaac
being moved,
said
to
him:
In
the fat
of
the
earth,
and
in
the
dew
of
heaven
from
above,
\VS{40}Shall thy blessing
be. Thou shalt
live
by
the
sword
and shalt
serve thy
brother:
and
the
time
shall
come,
when thou shalt shake
off
and
loose
his
yoke
from thy
neck.
\VS{41}Esau
therefore
always
hated
Jacob
for
the
blessing wherewith
his
father
had
blessed
him:
and
he
said
in
his
heart:
The
days
will
come
of
the
mourning
of
my
father,
and
I
will
kill
my
brother
Jacob.
\VS{42}These
things
were
told
to Rebecca:
and
she
sent
and
called
Jacob
her
son,
and
said
to
him:
Behold
Esau thy
brother threateneth
to
kill thee.
\VS{43}Now
therefore,
my
son,
hear
my
voice:
arise
and
flee
to
Laban
my
brother
to
Haran:
\VS{44}And thou shalt
dwell
with
him
a
few
days,
till
the
wrath
of thy
brother
be assuaged,
\VS{45}And
his indignation cease,
and
he
forget
the
things thou hast
done
to
him: afterwards
I
will
send,
and
bring thee
from thence hither.
Why
shall
I
be deprived
of
both
my sons
in
one
day?
\VS{46}And Rebecca
said
to
Isaac:
I am weary
of
my
life
because
of
the
daughters
of
Heth:
if
Jacob
take
a
wife
of
the stock
of
this
land,
I
choose
not
to
live.

\par }\Chap{28}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Isaac
called
Jacob,
and
blessed
him,
and
charged
him,
saying:
Take
not
a
wife
of
the stock
of Chanaan:
\VS{2}But
go,
and
take
a journey
to Mesopotamia
of Syria,
to
the
house
of Bathuel thy
mother’s
father,
and
take thee
a
wife thence
of
the
daughters
of
Laban thy uncle.
\VS{3}And
God
almighty
bless thee,
and
make thee
to
increase,
and
multiply thee:
that thou mayst
be
a multitude
of
people.
\VS{4}And
give
the
blessings
of
Abraham
to thee,
and
to thy
seed
after thee:
that thou mayst
possess
the
land
of thy sojournment,
which
he
promised
to thy grandfather.
\VS{5}And
when
Isaac
had
sent
him
away,
he
took
his journey
and
went
to Mesopotamia
of Syria
to
Laban
the
son
of Bathuel
the
Syrian,
brother
to Rebecca
his
mother.
\VS{6}And
Esau
seeing
that
his father
had
blessed
Jacob,
and
had
sent
him
into Mesopotamia
of Syria,
to
marry
a
wife thence;
and
that
after
the
blessing
he
had
charged
him,
saying: Thou shalt
not
take
a
wife
of
the
daughters
of Chanaan:
\VS{7}And
that
Jacob
obeying
his
parents
was gone
into Syria:
\VS{8}Experiencing
also
that
his
father
was
not well
pleased
with
the
daughters
of Chanaan:
\VS{9}He
went
to Ismael,
and
took
to
wife,
besides
them
he
had
before, Maheleth
the
daughter
of Ismael,
Abraham’s
son,
the
sister
of Nabajoth.
\VS{10}But
Jacob being
departed
from Bersabee,
went
on
to
Haran.
\VS{11}And
when
he
was
come
to
a certain
place,
and would
rest
in
it
after sunset,
he
took
of
the
stones
that
lay
there,
and
putting
under
his
head,
slept
in
the
same
place.
\VS{12}And
he
saw
in
his sleep
a
ladder
standing
upon
the
earth,
and
the
top thereof
touching
heaven:
the
angels
also
of
God
ascending
and
descending
by
it;
\VS{13}And
the
Lord leaning
upon
the ladder,
saying
to
him:
I
am
the
Lord
God
of
Abraham thy
father,
and
the
God
of
Isaac;
the
land,
wherein thou sleepest,
I
will
give
to thee
and
to thy
seed.
\VS{14}And thy
seed
shall
be
as
the
dust
of
the
earth: thou shalt
spread
abroad
to
the
west,
and
to
the
east,
and
to
the
north,
and
to
the
south:
and
IN THEE
and thy
seed
all
the
tribes
of
the
earth
SHALL
BE
BLESSED.
\VS{15}And
I
will
be thy
keeper whithersoever thou goest,
and
will
bring thee
back
into
this
land:
neither
will
I
leave thee,
till
I
shall
have
accomplished
all
that
I
have
said.
\VS{16}And
when
Jacob awaked
out
of
sleep,
he
said:
Indeed
the
Lord
is
in
this
place,
and
I
knew
it
not.
\VS{17}And trembling
he
said:
How terrible
is
this
place!
this
is
no
other
but
the
house
of
God,
and
the
gate
of
heaven.
\VS{18}And
Jacob, arising
in
the
morning,
took
the
stone,
which
he
had
laid
under
his
head,
and
set
it
up
for
a title, pouring
oil
upon
the
top
of
it.
\VS{19}And
he
called
the
name
of
the
city
Bethel,
which
before
was
called Luza.
\VS{20}And
he
made
a
vow,
saying:
If
God
shall
be
with
me,
and
shall
keep
me
in
the
way
by
which
I
walk,
and
shall
give
me
bread
to
eat,
and raiment
to
put
on,
\VS{21}And
I
shall
return prosperously
to
my
father’s
house:
the
Lord
shall
be
my
God:
\VS{22}And
this
stone,
which
I
have
set
up
for
a title,
shall
be called
the
house
of
God:
and
of
all
things
that thou shalt
give
to
me,
I
will
offer
tithes
to thee.

\par }\Chap{29}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Then
Jacob
went
on
in
his
journey,
and came
into
the
east
country.
\VS{2}And
he
saw
a
well
in
the
field,
and
three
flocks
of
sheep
lying
by
it:
for
the beasts
were
watered
out
of
it,
and
the
mouth thereof
was closed
with
a
great
stone.
\VS{3}And
the custom
was,
when
all
the
sheep
were
gathered
together
to
roll
away
the
stone,
and
after
the
sheep
were
watered,
to
put
it
on
the
mouth
of
the
well
again.
\VS{4}And
he
said
to
the shepherds:
Brethren, whence
are
you?
They
answered:
Of
Haran.
\VS{5}And
he
asked
them,
saying:
Know
you
Laban
the
son
of Nachor?
They
said: We
know
him.
\VS{6}He
said:
Is
he
in
health?
He
is
in
health,
say
they:
and
behold
Rachel
his
daughter cometh
with
his
flock.
\VS{7}And
Jacob
said: There
is
yet
much
day remaining,
neither
is
it
time
to
bring
the
flocks into
the folds
again:
first
give
the
sheep
drink,
and
so lead
them
back
to
feed.
\VS{8}They
answered:
We
cannot,
till
all
the cattle
be
gathered
together,
and
we remove
the
stone
from
the
well’s
mouth,
that
we
may
water
the
flocks.
\VS{9}They
were
yet
speaking,
and behold
Rachel
came
with
her
father’s
sheep:
for
she fed
the
flock.
\VS{10}And
when
Jacob
saw
her,
and knew
her
to
be
his cousin-german,
and
that
they
were
the
sheep
of
Laban,
his uncle:
he removed
the
stone wherewith
the
well
was closed.
\VS{11}And having watered
the flock,
he
kissed
her:
and lifting
up
his
voice,
wept.
\VS{12}And
he
told
her
that
he
was
her
father’s
brother,
and
the
son
of Rebecca:
but
she went
in haste
and
told
her
father.
\VS{13}Who,
when
he
heard
that
Jacob
his
sister’s
son
was
come,
ran
forth
to
meet
him;
and
embracing
him,
and heartily kissing
him,
brought
him
into
his
house.
And
when
he
had
heard
the causes
of
his
journey,
\VS{14}He
answered: Thou art
my
bone
and
my
flesh.
And
after
the
days
of
one
month
were expired,
\VS{15}He
said
to
him:
Because thou art
my
brother, shalt thou
serve
me
without
wages?
Tell
me
what
wages thou wilt
have.
\VS{16}Now
he
had
two
daughters,
the
name
of
the
elder
was Lia:
and
the
younger
was
called
Rachel.
\VS{17}But Lia
was blear eyed:
Rachel
was well favoured,
and
of
a
beautiful countenance.
\VS{18}And
Jacob being
in
love
with
her,
said:
I
will
serve thee
seven
years
for
Rachel thy
younger
daughter.
\VS{19}Laban
answered:
It
is
better
that
I
give
her
to thee
than
to
another
man;
stay
with
me.
\VS{20}So
Jacob
served
seven
years
for
Rachel:
and
they
seemed
but
a
few
days,
because
of
the greatness
of
his
love.
\VS{21}And
he
said
to
Laban:
Give
me
my
wife;
for
now
the
time
is
fulfilled,
that
I
may
go
in unto
her.
\VS{22}And
he, having
invited
a great number
of
his friends
to
the
feast,
made
the marriage.
\VS{23}And
at
night
he
brought
in Lia
his
daughter
to
him,
\VS{24}Giving
his
daughter
a handmaid, named Zelpha.
Now when Jacob
had gone
in
to
her according
to custom when morning
was come
he saw
it
was Lia:
\VS{25}And
he
said
to
his father
in law:
What
is
it
that thou didst mean
to
do?
did
not
I
serve thee
for
Rachel?
why hast thou
deceived
me?
\VS{26}Laban
answered:
It
is
not
the
custom
in
this
place,
to
give
the
younger
in marriage
first.
\VS{27}Make
up
the
week
of
days
of
this match:
and
I
will
give thee
her
also,
for
the
service
that thou shalt
render
me
other
seven
years.
\VS{28}He
yielded
to
his pleasure:
and after
the
week
was past,
he
married
Rachel:
\VS{29}To whom
her father
gave Bala
for
her
servant.
\VS{30}And having
at
length obtained
the marriage
he wished
for,
he preferred
the
love
of
the latter
before
the former,
and
served
with
him
other
seven
years.
\VS{31}And
the
Lord
seeing
that
he
despised Lia,
opened
her
womb,
but
her sister
remained
barren.
\VS{32}And
she
conceived
and
bore
a
son,
and
called
his
name Ruben,
saying:
The
Lord
saw
my affliction:
now
my
husband
will
love
me.
\VS{33}And
again
she
conceived
and
bore
a
son,
and
said:
Because
the
Lord
heard
that
I
was
despised,
he hath
given
this
also
to
me:
and
she
called
his
name
Simeon.
\VS{34}And
she
conceived
the
third
time,
and
bore
another
son:
and
said:
Now
also
my
husband
will
be joined
to
me,
because
I
have
borne
him
three
sons:
and
therefore
she
called
his
name
Levi.
\VS{35}The fourth
time
she
conceived
and
bore
a
son,
and
said:
now
will
I
praise
the
Lord:
and
for
this
she
called
him Juda.
And
she
left
bearing.

\par }\Chap{30}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Rachel,
seeing herself
without
children,
envied
her
sister,
and
said
to
her husband:
Give
me
children,
otherwise
I
shall
die.
\VS{2}And
Jacob
being
angry
with
her,
answered:
Am
I
as
God,
who hath deprived thee
of
the
fruit
of thy
womb?
\VS{3}But
she
said:
I
have
here
my
servant Bala:
go
in unto
her,
that
she
may
bear
upon
my
knees,
and
I
may
have
children
by
her.
\VS{4}And she
gave
him Bala
in
marriage:
who,
\VS{5}When
her husband
had gone
in unto
her,
conceived
and
bore
a
son.
\VS{6}And
Rachel
said:
The Lord hath judged
for
me,
and hath
heard
my
voice,
giving
me
a
son,
and
therefore
she
called
his
name
Dan.
\VS{7}And
again Bala
conceived
and
bore
another,
\VS{8}For
whom
Rachel
said:
God hath compared
me
with
my
sister,
and
I
have
prevailed:
and
she
called
him Nephtali.
\VS{9}Lia, perceiving
that
she
had
left
off
bearing,
gave Zelpha
her handmaid
to
her husband.
\VS{10}And
when she
had conceived
and
brought
forth
a
son,
\VS{11}She
said: Happily.
And therefore
called
his
name
Gad.
\VS{12}Zelpha also
bore
another.
\VS{13}And Lia
said:
This
is
for
my happiness:
for
women
will
call
me
blessed.
Therefore
she
called
him Aser.
\VS{14}And Ruben,
going
out
in
the
time
of
the
wheat
harvest
into
the
field,
found
mandrakes: which
he
brought
to
his
mother Lia.
And
Rachel
said:
Give
me part
of thy
son’s
mandrakes.
\VS{15}She
answered: Dost thou
think
it
a
small
matter,
that thou hast
taken
my
husband
from
me, unless thou
take
also
my
son’s
mandrakes?
Rachel
said:
He
shall
sleep
with thee
this
night,
for thy
son’s
mandrakes.
\VS{16}And
when
Jacob
returned
at
even
from
the
field, Lia
went
out
to
meet
him,
and
said: Thou shalt
come
in unto
me,
because
I
have
hired thee
for
my
son’s
mandrakes.
And
he
slept
with
her
that
night.
\VS{17}And
God
heard
her prayers:
and she
conceived
and
bore
the
fifth
son,
\VS{18}And
said:
God hath
given
me
a
reward,
because
I
gave
my handmaid
to
my
husband.
And
she
called
his
name
Issachar.
\VS{19}And Lia
conceived
again,
and
bore
the
sixth
son,
\VS{20}And
said:
God hath
endowed
me
with
a
good dowry:
this turn
also
my
husband
will
be
with
me,
because
I
have
borne
him
six
sons:
and
therefore
she
called
his
name Zabulon.
\VS{21}After
whom
she
bore
a
daughter,
named Dina.
\VS{22}The Lord
also
remembering
Rachel,
heard
her,
and
opened
her
womb.
\VS{23}And she
conceived,
and
bore
a
son,
saying:
God hath
taken
away
my
reproach.
\VS{24}And
she
called
his
name
Joseph,
saying:
The
Lord
give
me
also
another
son.
\VS{25}And
when
Joseph
was
born,
Jacob
said
to
his
father
in law:
Send
me
away
that
I
may return
into
my
country,
and
to
my
land.
\VS{26}Give
me
my
wives,
and
my
children,
for
whom
I
have
served thee,
that
I
may depart: thou knowest
the
service
that
I
have
rendered thee.
\VS{27}Laban
said
to
him:
Let
me
find favour
in thy
sight:
I
have learned
by experience,
that
God hath
blessed
me
for thy sake.
\VS{28}Appoint thy
wages which
I shall
give thee.
\VS{29}But
he
answered: Thou knowest
how
I
have
served thee,
and
how great thy
possession hath
been
in
my hands.
\VS{30}Thou hadst
but
little
before
I
came
to thee,
and
now thou art
become rich:
and
the
Lord hath
blessed thee
at
my coming.
It
is reasonable
therefore
that
I
should
now
provide
also
for
my
own
house.
\VS{31}And Laban
said:
What
shall
I
give thee?
But
he
said:
I require
nothing:
but
if thou wilt
do
what
I
demand,
I
will
feed,
and
keep thy
sheep
again.
\VS{32}Go round
through
all thy
flocks,
and separate
all
the
sheep
of divers colours,
and
speckled:
and
all
that
is brown
and
spotted,
and
of divers colours,
as well
among
the
sheep,
as
among
the
goats,
shall
be
my
wages.
\VS{33}And
my
justice
shall
answer
for
me
tomorrow
before thee
when
the
time
of
the bargain
shall
come:
and
all
that
is
not
of divers colours,
and
spotted,
and brown,
as
well
among
the
sheep
as
among
the
goats,
shall accuse
me
of theft.
\VS{34}And
Laban
said:
I
like well
what thou demandest.
\VS{35}And
he
separated
the
same
day
the
she
goats,
and
the
sheep,
and
the
he
goats,
and
the rams
of divers colours,
and
spotted:
and
all
the flock
of
one colour,
that
is,
of
white
and
black fleece,
he
delivered
into
the
hands
of
his
sons.
\VS{36}And
he
set
the space
of
three
days’
journey betwixt
himself
and
his son
in law, who fed
the
rest
of
his
flock.
\VS{37}And
Jacob
took
green
rods
of
poplar,
and
of
almond,
and
of
plane
trees,
and pilled
them
in
part:
so
when
the bark
was
taken
off,
in
the parts
that
were pilled,
there appeared whiteness:
but
the parts
that
were whole remained
green:
and
by
this means
the colour
was divers.
\VS{38}And
he
put
them
in
the
troughs,
where
the
water
was poured
out:
that
when
the
flocks should
come
to
drink,
they
might
have
the
rods
before
their eyes,
and
in
the sight
of
them
might conceive.
\VS{39}And
it
came
to pass
that
in
the very heat
of coition,
the
sheep beheld
the
rods,
and
brought
forth
spotted,
and
of divers colours,
and
speckled.
\VS{40}And
Jacob
separated
the
flock,
and
put
the rods
in
the troughs
before
the eyes
of
the rams:
and
all
the white
and
the
black
were Laban’s:
and
the rest
were
Jacob’s,
when
the
flocks
were
separated
one
from
the
other.
\VS{41}So
when
the ewes
went first
to ram,
Jacob
put
the
rods
in
the troughs
of water
before
the
eyes
of
the rams,
and
of
the ewes,
that
they might conceive
while
they
were
looking
upon
them:
\VS{42}But
when
the latter coming
was,
and
the last conceiving,
he
did
not
put
them.
And
those
that
were lateward,
became Laban’s:
and
they
of
the first
time,
Jacob’s.
\VS{43}And
the
man
was enriched
exceedingly,
and
he
had
many
flocks,
maid
servants
and
men
servants,
camels
and asses.

\par }\Chap{31}{\PP \VerseOne{1}But after
that
he
heard
the
words
of
the
sons
of
Laban,
saying:
Jacob hath
taken
away
all
that
was
our
father’s,
and
being enriched
by
his substance
is become great:
\VS{2}And perceiving
also
that Laban’s
countenance
was
not towards
him
as
yesterday
and
the
other day,
\VS{3}Especially
the
Lord
saying
to
him:
Return
into
the
land
of thy
fathers,
and
to thy
kindred,
and
I
will
be
with thee.
\VS{4}He
sent,
and
called
Rachel
and Lia
into
the
field,
where
he fed
the
flocks,
\VS{5}And
said
to
them:
I
see
your
father’s
countenance
is
not towards
me
as
yesterday
and
the
other day:
but
the
God
of
my
father hath
been
with
me.
\VS{6}And
you
know
that
I
have
served
your
father
to
the uttermost
of
my
power.
\VS{7}Yea,
your
father
also hath overreached
me,
and hath
changed
my
wages
ten
times:
and
yet
God hath
not suffered
him
to hurt
me.
\VS{8}If
at
any
time
he
said:
The
speckled
shall
be thy
wages:
all
the
sheep
brought
forth
speckled:
but
when
he
said
on
the contrary: Thou shalt
take
all
the white ones
for thy
wages:
all
the
flocks
brought
forth white ones.
\VS{9}And
God hath
taken
your
father’s substance,
and
given
it
to
me.
\VS{10}For
after
that
time
came
of
the ewes conceiving,
I
lifted
up
my
eyes,
and
saw
in
my sleep
that
the males
which leaped
upon
the
females
were
of divers colours,
and
spotted,
and
speckled.
\VS{11}And
the
angel
of
God
said
to
me
in
my sleep:
Jacob?
And
I
answered:
Here
I
am.
\VS{12}And
he
said:
Lift
up thy
eyes,
and
see
that
all
the males leaping
upon
the
females,
are
of divers colours,
spotted,
and
speckled.
For
I
have
seen
all
that
Laban hath
done
to thee.
\VS{13}I
am
the
God
of
Bethel,
where thou didst
anoint
the
stone,
and
make
a
vow
to
me.
Now
therefore
arise,
and
go
out
of
this
land,
and
return
into thy
native
country.
\VS{14}And
Rachel
and Lia
answered:
Have we
any thing
left
among
the goods
and
inheritance
of
our
father’s
house?
\VS{15}Hath
he
not
counted
us
as strangers
and
sold
us,
and
eaten
up
the
price
of
us?
\VS{16}But
God hath
taken
our
father’s
riches,
and
delivered
them
to
us,
and
to
our
children: wherefore
do
all
that
God hath
commanded thee.
\VS{17}Then
Jacob
rose
up,
and having
set
his
children
and
wives
upon
camels,
went
his
way.
\VS{18}And
he
took
all
his substance,
and
flocks,
and
whatsoever
he
had gotten
in Mesopotamia,
and
went
forward
to
Isaac
his
father
to
the
land
of Chanaan.
\VS{19}At
that time
Laban
was
gone
to
shear
his
sheep,
and
Rachel
stole
away
her
father’s
idols.
\VS{20}And
Jacob
would
not
confess
to
his father
in law
that
he
was flying
away.
\VS{21}And
when
he
was
gone, together
with
all
that belonged
to
him,
and having
passed
the
river,
was going
on towards
mount Galaad,
\VS{22}It
was
told
Laban
on
the
third
day
that
Jacob
fled.
\VS{23}And
he
took
his
brethren
with
him,
and
pursued
after
him
seven
days;
and
overtook
him
in
the
mount
of Galaad.
\VS{24}And
he saw
in
a
dream
God
saying
to
him:
Take
heed thou
speak
not any
thing harshly
against
Jacob.
\VS{25}Now
Jacob
had
pitched
his
tent
in
the
mountain:
and
when
he
with
his
brethren
had
overtaken
him,
he
pitched
his
tent
in
the
same
mount
of Galaad.
\VS{26}And
he
said
to
Jacob:
Why hast thou
done thus,
to
carry
away, without
my knowledge,
my
daughters,
as
captives
taken
with
the
sword.
\VS{27}Why wouldst thou run
away privately
and
not acquaint
me,
that
I might
have
brought thee
on
the
way
with
joy,
and
with
songs,
and
with
timbrels,
and
with
harps?
\VS{28}Thou hast
not suffered
me
to kiss
my
sons
and
daughters: thou hast
done
foolishly:
and
now,
indeed,
\VS{29}It
is
in
my
power
to return thee
evil:
but
the
God
of
your
father
said
to
me
yesterday:
Take
heed thou
speak not
any
thing harshly
against
Jacob.
\VS{30}Suppose thou didst desire
to
go
to thy friends,
and hadst
a longing
after thy
father’s
house:
why hast thou
stolen
away
my
gods?
\VS{31}Jacob
answered:
That
I departed unknown
to thee,
it
was
for
fear
lest thou wouldst
take
away thy
daughters
by
force.
\VS{32}But whereas thou chargest
me
with theft:
with whomsoever thou shalt
find thy
gods,
let
him
be slain
before
our
brethren. Search,
and
if thou
find
any
of thy
things
with
me,
take
them
away.
Now
when
he said
this,
he
knew
not
that
Rachel
had
stolen
the idols.
\VS{33}So
Laban
went
into
the
tent
of
Jacob,
and
of Lia,
and
of
both
the
handmaids,
and
found
them
not.
And
when
he
was
entered
into
Rachel’s
tent,
\VS{34}She
in haste
hid
the
idols
under
the
camel’s furniture,
and
sat
upon
them:
and
when
he
had
searched
all
the
tent,
and
found
nothing,
\VS{35}She
said:
Let
not
my
lord
be
angry
that
I
cannot
rise
up
before thee,
because
it
has
now
happened
to
me,
according
to
the custom
of
women,
So
his careful
search
was
in vain.
\VS{36}And
Jacob being
angry,
said
in
a chiding manner:
For
what
fault
of mine,
and
for
what offence
on
my part hast thou
so
hotly
pursued
me,
\VS{37}And
searched
all
my
household stuff?
What hast thou
found
of
all
the substance
of thy
house?
lay
it
here
before
my
brethren,
and thy
brethren,
and
let
them judge
between
me
and thee.
\VS{38}Have
I therefore
been
with thee
twenty
years? thy
ewes
and
goats
were
not barren,
the
rams
of thy
flocks
I
did
not
eat:
\VS{39}Neither
did
I show thee
that which
the beast
had
torn,
I
made good
all
the damage: whatsoever
was lost
by theft, thou didst exact
it
of
me:
\VS{40}Day
and
night
was
I parched
with heat,
and
with
frost,
and
sleep departed
from
my
eyes.
\VS{41}And
in
this manner
have
I
served thee
in thy
house
twenty
years,
fourteen
for thy
daughters,
and
six
for thy
flocks: thou hast
changed
also
my
wages
ten
times.
\VS{42}Unless
the
God
of
my
father
Abraham,
and
the
fear
of
Isaac
had stood
by
me, peradventure
now thou hadst
sent
me
away naked:
God beheld
my affliction
and
the labour
of
my
hands,
and rebuked thee
yesterday.
\VS{43}Laban
answered
him:
The
daughters
are mine
and
the
children,
and thy
flocks,
and
all
things
that thou seest
are mine:
what
can
I
do
to
my
children,
and
grandchildren?
\VS{44}Come
therefore,
let
us enter
into
a
league:
that
it
may
be
for
a
testimony
between
me
and thee.
\VS{45}And
Jacob
took
a
stone,
and
set
it
up
for
a title:
\VS{46}And
he
said
to
his
brethren:
Bring hither
stones.
And
they
gathering
stones
together,
made
a
heap,
and
they
ate
upon
it.
\VS{47}And
Laban
called
it
The witness heap:
and
Jacob,
The hillock
of testimony: each
of
them according
to
the propriety
of
his language.
\VS{48}And
Laban
said:
This
heap
shall
be
a
witness
between
me
and thee
this
day,
and
therefore
the
name thereof
was
called Galaad,
that
is,
The
witness
heap.
\VS{49}The
Lord behold
and judge
between
us
when
we
shall
be gone
one
from
the
other.
\VS{50}If thou
afflict
my
daughters,
and
if thou
bring
in
other
wives
over
them:
none
is
witness
of
our speech
but
God,
who
is present
and beholdeth.
\VS{51}And
he
said again
to
Jacob:
Behold,
this
heap,
and
the
stone
which
I
have
set up
between
me
and thee,
\VS{52}Shall
be
a
witness:
this
heap,
I say,
and
the
stone,
be
they
for
a
testimony,
if
either
I
shall
pass
beyond
it going towards thee,
or thou shalt
pass
beyond
it, thinking
harm
to
me.
\VS{53}The
God
of
Abraham,
and
the
God
of Nachor,
the
God
of
their
father,
judge
between
us.
And
Jacob
swore
by
the
fear
of
his
father
Isaac.
\VS{54}And after
he
had
offered
sacrifices
in
the
mountain,
he
called
his
brethren
to
eat
bread.
And
when
they
had
eaten,
they lodged
there:
\VS{55}But Laban arose in the night, and kissed his sons, and daughters, and blessed them: and returned to his place.

\par }\Chap{32}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Jacob
also
went
on
the journey
he
had begun:
and
the angels
of God met
him.
\VS{2}And
when
he saw
them,
he said: These
are
the camps
of
God,
and
he called
the name
of
that place Mahanaim,
that
is, Camps.
\VS{3}And
he
sent messengers
before
him
to
Esau
his brother
to
the
land
of Seir
to
the
country
of Edom:
\VS{4}And
he commanded
them, saying: Thus
shall ye speak
to
my lord
Esau: Thus saith thy
brother
Jacob:
I
have sojourned
with Laban,
and
have
been
with
him until this day.
\VS{5}I
have oxen,
and asses,
and sheep,
and menservants,
and womenservants:
and
now
I send
a message
to
my
lord,
that
I
may find favour
in thy sight.
\VS{6}And
the
messengers returned
to
Jacob, saying:
We
came
to Esau thy brother,
and behold
he cometh
with speed
to
meet thee
with four hundred
men.
\VS{7}Then
Jacob
was greatly afraid;
and
in
his fear divided
the
people
that
was
with
him,
and
the flocks,
and
the sheep,
and
the oxen,
and
the camels,
into
two companies,
\VS{8}Saying:
If Esau come
to
one
company
and destroy
it,
the
other
company
that
is left
shall escape.
\VS{9}And
Jacob
said:
O
God
of
my father
Abraham,
and
God
of
my father
Isaac,
O Lord,
who saidst
to
me:
Return
to thy land
and
to
the
place
of thy birth,
and
I
will
do well
for thee,
\VS{10}I
am
not worthy
of
the least
of all thy mercies,
and
of thy truth which thou hast fulfilled
to thy servant.
With
my staff
I passed
over
this Jordan;
and
now
I
return
with two companies.
\VS{11}Deliver
me
from
the hand
of
my brother Esau,
for
I
am greatly afraid
of
him: lest
perhaps
he
come,
and kill
the mother
with
the children.
\VS{12}Thou didst say
that thou wouldst
do well
by
me,
and multiply
my seed
like
the sand
of
the sea, which cannot
be numbered
for multitude.
\VS{13}And
when
he
had slept
there
that night,
he
set apart,
of
the
things
which
he
had, presents
for
his brother
Esau.
\VS{14}Two hundred
she goats, twenty
he goats,
two hundred ewes,
and twenty rams,
\VS{15}Thirty milch camels
with their colts, forty kine,
and
twenty bulls,
twenty she asses,
and ten
of their foals.
\VS{16}And
he sent
them
by
the hands
of
his servants, every drove
by itself,
and
he said
to
his servants: Go before
me,
and let there
be
a space between drove
and drove.
\VS{17}And
he
commanded
the
first,
saying:
If thou
meet
my brother
Esau,
and
he
ask thee:
Whose art thou?
or whither goest thou?
or
whose
are
these
before thee?
\VS{18}Thou shalt
answer: Thy servant Jacob’s:
he hath
sent
them
as
a present
to
my lord
Esau:
and
he cometh
after
us.
\VS{19}In like manner
he
commanded
the second
and
the third,
and
all
that
followed
the droves,
saying:
Speak ye
the
same words
to
Esau,
when ye find
him.
\VS{20}And ye
shall add: Thy servant
Jacob
himself
also followeth
after
us:
for
he
said:
I
will appease
him
with
the presents
that
go
before,
and
afterwards
I
will see
him, perhaps
he
will
be gracious
to
me.
\VS{21}So
the
presents
went
before
him,
but
himself lodged
that night
in
the camp.
\VS{22}And rising early
he took
his two wives,
and
his two handmaids,
with
his eleven sons,
and
passed
over
the ford
of Jaboc.
\VS{23}And
when
all
things
were
brought
over
that belonged
to
him,
\VS{24}He remained alone:
and behold
a man wrestled
with
him till morning.
\VS{25}And
when
he saw
that
he
could not overcome
him,
he touched
the sinew
of
his thigh,
and forthwith
it shrank.
\VS{26}And
he said
to
him:
Let
me go,
for
it
is break
of day.
He answered:
I
will
not
let thee go
except thou bless
me.
\VS{27}And
he
said:
What
is thy
name?
He
answered:
Jacob.
\VS{28}But
he
said: Thy
name
shall not
be
called
Jacob,
but Israel:
for if thou hast been strong
against
God,
how
much more shalt thou prevail
against
men?
\VS{29}Jacob
asked
him,
Tell
me
by
what
name art thou
called?
He
answered:
Why dost thou
ask
my
name?
And
he blessed
him
in
the
same place.
\VS{30}And
Jacob
called
the
name
of
the
place Phanuel,
saying:
I
have seen
God face
to face,
and
my soul
has been saved.
\VS{31}And immediately
the sun rose
upon
him,
after
he
was past Phanuel;
but
he halted
on
his foot.
\VS{32}Therefore
the children
of Israel, unto
this day, eat not
the sinew,
that shrank
in Jacob’s
thigh:
because
he touched
the sinew
of
his
thigh
and
it shrank.

\par }\Chap{33}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Jacob lifting
up
his
eyes,
saw
Esau
coming,
and
with
him
four
hundred
men:
and
he
divided
the
children
of Lia,
and
of
Rachel,
and
of
the
two handmaids:
\VS{2}And
he
put both
the handmaids
and
their
children
foremost:
and Lia
and
her
children
in
the second
place:
and
Rachel
and
Joseph
last.
\VS{3}And
he
went
forward
and
bowed
down
with
his
face
to
the
ground
seven
times
until
his
brother
came
near.
\VS{4}Then
Esau
ran
to
meet
his brother,
and
embraced
him:
and clasping
him fast
about
the
neck,
and kissing
him,
wept.
\VS{5}And lifting
up
his
eyes,
he
saw
the
women
and
their
children,
and
said:
What mean
these?
And
do
they
belong
to thee?
He
answered:
They
are
the
children
which
God hath
given
to
me thy
servant.
\VS{6}Then
the handmaids
and
their
children
came
near,
and
bowed
themselves.
\VS{7}Lia
also
with
her
children
came
near,
and
bowed
down
in like manner,
and last
of
all
Joseph
and
Rachel
bowed
down.
\VS{8}And
Esau
said:
What
are
the droves
that
I
met?
He
answered:
That
I
might
find favour
before
my
lord.
\VS{9}But
he
said:
I
have
plenty,
my
brother, keep
what
is thine
for thyself.
\VS{10}And
Jacob
said:
Do
not
so
I
beseech thee,
but
if
I
have
found favour
in thy
eyes,
receive
a little
present
at
my
hands:
for
I
have
seen thy
face,
as
if
I
should
have
seen
the
countenance
of
God:
be
gracious
to
me,
\VS{11}And
take
the
blessing,
which
I
have
brought thee,
and
which
God hath given
me,
who giveth
all
things.
He
took
it
with
much ado
at
his brother’s earnest
pressing
him,
\VS{12}And
said: Let
us
go
on together,
and
I will accompany thee
in thy
journey.
\VS{13}And
Jacob
said:
My
lord, thou knowest
that
I
have
with
me
tender
children,
and
sheep,
and kine
with
young: which
if
I
should cause
to
be overdriven,
in
one
day
all
the
flocks
will
die.
\VS{14}May
it
please
my
lord
to
go
before
his
servant:
and
I
will
follow softly
after
him,
as
I
shall
see
my
children
to
be able,
until
I
come
to
my
lord
in
Seir.
\VS{15}Esau
answered:
I
beseech thee,
that
some
of
the
people
at least,
who
are
with
me,
may
stay
to accompany thee
in
the
way.
And
he
said:
There
is
no necessity:
I want nothing else
but only
to
find favour,
my
lord,
in thy
sight.
\VS{16}So
Esau
returned,
that
day,
the
way
that
he
came,
to
Seir.
\VS{17}And
Jacob came
to Socoth:
where having
built
a
house,
and pitched tents,
he
called
the
name
of
the
place Socoth,
that
is, Tents.
\VS{18}And
he passed
over
to Salem,
a
city
of
the Sichemites,
which
is
in
the
land
of Chanaan,
after
he
returned
from Mesopotamia
of Syria:
and
he dwelt
by
the
town:
\VS{19}And
he
bought
that
part
of
the
field,
in
which
he
pitched
his
tents,
of
the
children
of Hemor,
the
father
of Sichem
for
a
hundred lambs.
\VS{20}And raising
an
altar
there,
he invoked
upon
it
the most
mighty
God
of
Israel.

\par }\Chap{34}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And Dina
the
daughter
of Lia
went
out
to
see
the
women
of
that
country.
\VS{2}And
when Sichem
the
son
of Hemor
the Hevite,
the
prince
of
that
land,
saw
her,
he
was
in love
with
her:
and
took
her
away,
and
lay
with
her, ravishing
the virgin.
\VS{3}And
his
soul
was
fast knit unto
her,
and whereas
she
was sad,
he comforted
her
with sweet words.
\VS{4}And going
to Hemor
his
father,
he
said:
Get
me
this damsel
to
wife.
\VS{5}But
when
Jacob
had
heard
this,
his
sons
being absent,
and employed
in feeding
the
cattle,
he
held
his peace
till
they
came
back.
\VS{6}And
when Hemor
the
father
of Sichem
was
come
out
to
speak
to
Jacob,
\VS{7}Behold
his
sons
came
from
the
field:
and
hearing
what
had passed,
they
were
exceeding
angry,
because
he
had
done
a foul
thing
in
Israel,
and
committed
an unlawful
act,
in ravishing
Jacob’s
daughter,
\VS{8}And Hemor
spoke
to
them:
The
soul
of
my
son Sichem
has
a longing
for
your
daughter:
give
her
him
to
wife:
\VS{9}And
let
us contract marriages one
with another:
give
us
your
daughters
and
take
you
our
daughters,
\VS{10}And
dwell
with
us:
the
land
is
at
your command, till,
trade,
and possess
it.
\VS{11}Sichem
also
said
to
her
father
and
to
her
brethren:
Let
me
find favour
in
your
sight:
and whatsoever
you
shall
appoint
I
will
give.
\VS{12}Raise
the
dowry,
and
ask
gifts,
and
I
will gladly
give
what
you
shall demand:
only
give
me
this damsel
to
wife.
\VS{13}The
sons
of
Jacob
answered Sichem
and
his
father
deceitfully,
being enraged
at
the deflowering
of
their
sister:
\VS{14}We
cannot
do
what
you
demand,
nor
give
our
sister
to
one
that
is
uncircumcised,
which
with
us
is unlawful
and abominable.
\VS{15}But
in
this
we
may
be allied
with
you,
if
you
will
be
like
us,
and
all
the
male sex among
you
be
circumcised:
\VS{16}Then
will
we mutually
give
and
take
your
daughters,
and ours:
and
we
will
dwell
with
you,
and
will
be
one
people:
\VS{17}But
if
you
will
not
be
circumcised,
we
will
take
our
daughter
and
depart:
\VS{18}Their offer
pleased Hemor,
and Sichem
his
son:
\VS{19}And
the
young
man
made
no
delay,
but forthwith fulfilled
what
was
required,
for
he loved
the damsel exceedingly,
and
he
was
the greatest
man
in
all
his
father’s
house.
\VS{20}And
going
into
the
gate
of
the
city
they
spoke
to
the
people:
\VS{21}These
men
are peaceable
and
willing
to
dwell
with
us:
let
them
trade
in
the
land,
and till
it,
which being large
and
wide wanteth
men
to till
it:
we
shall
take
their
daughters
for
wives,
and
we
will
give
them
ours.
\VS{22}One
thing
there
is
for
which
so great
a good
is deferred:
We
must
circumcise
every
male
among
us, following
the manner
of
the
nation.
\VS{23}And
their substance,
and
cattle,
and
all
that
they possess,
shall
be ours:
only
in
this
let
us condescend,
and
by
dwelling
together,
we
shall make
one
people.
\VS{24}And
they
all
agreed,
and
circumcised
all
the
males.
\VS{25}And behold
the
third
day,
when
the
pain
of
the wound
was greatest,
two
of
the
sons
of
Jacob,
Simeon
and
Levi,
the
brothers
of Dina,
taking
their
swords,
entered boldly
into
the
city,
and
slew
all
the
men:
\VS{26}And
they
killed
also Hemor
and Sichem,
and
took
away
their sister Dina,
out
of Sichem’s
house.
\VS{27}And
when
they
were
gone
out,
the
other
sons
of
Jacob
came
upon
the
slain;
and
plundered
the
city
in revenge
of
the rape.
\VS{28}And
they
took
their
sheep
and
their
herds
and
their asses, wasting all
they
had
in
their houses
and
in
the
fields.
\VS{29}And
their
children
and
wives
they
took
captive,
\VS{30}And
when
they
had boldly perpetrated these things,
Jacob
said
to
Simeon
and
Levi:
You
have
troubled
me,
and
made
me hateful
to
the Chanaanites
and Pherezites,
the
inhabitants
of this
land:
we
are
few:
they
will
gather
themselves
together
and
kill
me;
and
both
I,
and
my
house,
shall
be
destroyed.
\VS{31}They
answered:
Should
they abuse our
sister as
a strumpet?

\par }\Chap{35}{\PP \VerseOne{1}In
the meantime
God
said
to
Jacob:
Arise,
and
go
up
to
Bethel,
and
dwell
there,
and
make
there
an
altar
to
God,
who
appeared
to thee
when thou didst
flee
from
Esau thy
brother.
\VS{2}And
Jacob having
called
together
all
his
household,
said: Cast
away
the
strange
gods
that
are
among
you,
and
be
cleansed
and
change
your
garments.
\VS{3}Arise,
and
let
us
go
up
to
Bethel,
that
we
may
make
there
an
altar
to
God:
who heard
me
in
the
day
of
my affliction,
and accompanied
me
in
my
journey.
\VS{4}So
they
gave
him
all
the
strange
gods
they
had,
and
the
earrings
which
were
in
their
ears:
and
he
buried
them
under
the turpentine tree,
that
is behind
the city
of Sichem.
\VS{5}And
when
they
were
departed,
the
terror
of
God
fell
upon
all
the
cities
round
about,
and
they durst
not
pursue
after
them
as
they
went
away.
\VS{6}And
Jacob
came
to Luza,
which
is
in
the
land
of Chanaan, surnamed
Bethel:
he
and
all
the
people
that
were
with
him.
\VS{7}And
he
built
there
an
altar,
and
called
the
name
of
that
place,
The house
of
God:
for
there
God appeared
to
him
when
he
fled
from
his
brother.
\VS{8}At
the
same time Debora
the
nurse
of Rebecca
died,
and
was
buried
at
the
foot
of
Bethel
under
an
oak:
and
the
name
of
that
place
was
called,
The
oak
of weeping.
\VS{9}And
God
appeared
again
to
Jacob,
after
he
returned
from Mesopotamia
of Syria,
and
he
blessed
him,
\VS{10}Saying: Thou shalt
not
be
called
any
more
Jacob,
but
Israel
shall
be thy
name.
And
he
called
him
Israel.
\VS{11}And
said
to
him:
I
am
God
Almighty,
increase thou
and
be
multiplied.
Nations
and peoples
of
nations
shall
be
from thee,
and
kings
shall
come
out
of thy
loins.
\VS{12}And
the
land
which
I
gave
to
Abraham
and
Isaac,
I
will
give
to thee,
and
to thy
seed
after thee.
\VS{13}And
he departed
from
him.
\VS{14}But
he
set
up
a monument
of
stone,
in
the
place
where God
had
spoken
to
him: pouring drink offerings
upon
it,
and pouring
oil
thereon:
\VS{15}And
calling
the
name
of
that
place
Bethel.
\VS{16}And
going
forth
from thence,
he
came
in
the springtime
to
the
land which leadeth
to Ephrata: wherein
when
Rachel
was
in travail,
\VS{17}By reason
of
her
hard labour
she
began
to
be
in danger,
and
the
midwife
said
to
her:
Fear
not,
for thou shalt
have
this
son
also.
\VS{18}And
when
her
soul
was
departing
for pain,
and
death
was
now
at hand,
she
called
the
name
of
her son Benoni,
that
is,
The son
of
my pain:
but
his
father
called
him
Benjamin,
that
is,
The son
of
the right hand.
\VS{19}So
Rachel
died,
and
was
buried
in
the
highway
that leadeth
to Ephrata,
this
is
Bethlehem.
\VS{20}And
Jacob
erected
a
pillar
over
her sepulchre:
this
is
the
pillar
of
Rachel’s monument,
to
this
day.
\VS{21}Departing thence,
he
pitched
his
tent
beyond
the Flock
tower.
\VS{22}And
when
he
dwelt
in
that
country, Ruben
went,
and
slept
with Bala,
the
concubine
of

father:
which
he
was
not ignorant
of.

dwelt
in

of Chanaan wherein
his
father
sojourned.
\VS{2}And

are
his
generations:
Joseph,
when
he
was
sixteen
years
old,
was feeding
the
flock
with
his
brethren,
being
but
a
boy:
and
he
was
with
the
sons
of Bala
and
of Zelpha
his
father’s
wives:
and
he accused
his
brethren
to
his
father
of
a most
wicked crime.
\VS{3}Now
Israel
loved
Joseph above
all
his
sons,
because
he
had
him
in
his
old
age:
and
he
made
him
a
coat
of divers colours.
\VS{4}And
his
brethren
seeing
that
he
was
loved
by
his
father,
more
than
all
his
sons,
hated
him,
and
could
not
speak
peaceably
to
him.
\VS{5}Now
it fell
out
also
that
he
told
his
brethren
a
dream,
that
he
had
dreamed: which occasioned
them
to
hate
him
the
more.

he
said
to
them:
Hear
my
dream
which
I
dreamed.
\VS{7}I thought
we
were
binding
sheaves
in
the
field:
and
my
sheaf
arose
as
it
were,
and
stood,
and
your
sheaves
standing
about,
bowed
down before
my
sheaf.
\VS{8}His
brethren
answered: Shalt thou
be
our
king?
or
shall
we
be subject
to thy
dominion? Therefore
this
matter
of
his
dreams
and
words ministered nourishment
to
their envy
and
hatred.

dreamed
also
another
dream, which
he
told

I
saw
in

were
the
sun,
and
the
moon,
and
eleven
stars worshipping
me.
\VS{10}And
when
he
had
told
this
to
his
father
and
brethren,
his
father
rebuked
him,
and
said:
What meaneth
this
dream
that thou hast
dreamed?
shall
I
and thy
mother,
and thy
brethren
worship thee
upon
the
earth?
\VS{11}His
brethren therefore
envied
him: but
his
father considered
the
thing
with
himself.
\VS{12}And when his
brethren abode
in Sichem feeding their
father’s
flocks,
\VS{13}Israel
said
to
him: Thy
brethren
feed
the sheep
in Sichem: come,
I
will
send thee
to
them.
And
when
he
answered:
\VS{14}I am ready:
he
said
to
him:
Go,
and
see
if
all
things
be
well
with thy
brethren,
and
the cattle:
and
bring
me
word
again
what
is doing.
So being
sent
from
the vale
of
Hebron,
he
came
to Sichem:
\VS{15}And
a
man
found
him
there
wandering
in
the
field,
and
asked
what
he
sought.
\VS{16}But
he
answered:
I
seek
my
brethren;
tell
me
where
they
feed
the flocks.
\VS{17}And
the
man
said
to
him:
They
are
departed
from
this
place:
for
I
heard
them
say: Let
us
go
to Dothain.
And
Joseph
went
forward
after
his
brethren,
and
found
them
in Dothain.
\VS{18}And
when
they
saw
him
afar
off,
before
he
came nigh
them,
they thought
to
kill
him.
\VS{19}And
said
one
to
another:
Behold
the dreamer cometh.
\VS{20}Come,
let
us
kill
him,
and
cast
him
into
some old
pit:
and
we
will
say:
Some
evil
beast hath
devoured
him:
and
then
it
shall
appear
what
his
dreams avail
him:
\VS{21}And Ruben
hearing this, endeavoured
to
deliver
him
out
of
their
hands,
and
said:
\VS{22}Do
not
take
away
his
life,
nor
shed
his
blood:
but
cast
him
into
this
pit,
that
is
in
the
wilderness,
and keep
your
hands harmless:
now
he
said
this, being desirous
to
deliver
him
out
of
their
hands
and
to
restore
him
to
his
father.
\VS{23}And
as soon
as
he
came
to
his
brethren,
they forthwith stript
him
of
his
outside
coat,
that
was
of divers colours:
\VS{24}And
cast
him
into
an old
pit, where
there
was
no
water.
\VS{25}And
sitting
down
to
eat
bread,
they
saw
some Ismaelites
on
their
way
coming
from Galaad,
with
their
camels,
carrying
spices,
and
balm,
and
myrrh
to
Egypt.
\VS{26}And Juda
said
to
his
brethren:
What
will
it
profit
us
to
kill
our
brother,
and
conceal
his
blood?
\VS{27}It
is
better
that
he
be
sold
to
the Ismaelites,
and
that
our
hands
be
not defiled:
for
he
is
our
brother
and
our
flesh.
His
brethren
agreed
to
his words.
\VS{28}And
when
the Madianite
merchants
passed
by,
they
drew
him
out
of
the
pit,
and
sold
him
to
the Ismaelites,
for
twenty pieces
of
silver:
and
they
led
him
into
Egypt.
\VS{29}And Ruben,
returning
to
the
pit,
found
not
the boy:
\VS{30}And rending
his garments
he
went
to
his
brethren,
and
said:
The
boy doth
not appear
and whither
shall
I
go?
\VS{31}And
they
took
his
coat,
and
dipped
it
in
the
blood
of
a kid, which
they
had
killed:
\VS{32}Sending some
to
carry
it
to
their
father,
and
to
say:
This
we
have
found:
see
whether
it
be thy
son’s
coat,
or
not.
\VS{33}And
the father acknowledging
it,
said:
It
is
my
son’s
coat,
an
evil wild
beast hath
eaten
him,
a
beast hath
devoured
Joseph.
\VS{34}And tearing
his
garments,
he
put
on
sackcloth,
mourning
for
his
son
a
long
time.
\VS{35}And
all
his
children
being
gathered together
to
comfort
their
father
in
his sorrow,
he
would
not receive
comfort,
but
said:
I
will
go
down
to
my
son
into hell,
mourning.
And whilst
he
continued
weeping,
\VS{36}The Madianites
sold
Joseph
in
Egypt
to Putiphar,
an
eunuch
of Pharao,
captain
of
the soldiers.

\par }\Chap{38}{\PP \VerseOne{1}At
that
time Juda
went
down
from
his
brethren,
and
turned
in
to
a
certain Odollamite,
named Hiras.
\VS{2}And
he
saw
there
the
daughter
of
a
man
of Chanaan,
called Sue:
and
taking
her
to wife,
he
went
in unto
her.
\VS{3}And
she
conceived,
and
bore
a
son,
and
called
his
name
Her.
\VS{4}And
conceiving
again,
she
bore
a
son,
and
called
him
Onan.
\VS{5}She
bore
also
a third:
whom
she
called Sela.
After
whose
birth,
she ceased
to
bear
any
more.
\VS{6}And Juda
took
a
wife
for
Her
his
firstborn,
whose
name
was Thamar.
\VS{7}And
Her,
the
firstborn
of Juda,
was
wicked
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord:
and
was slain
by
him.
\VS{8}Juda, therefore
said
to
Onan
his son:
Go
in
to thy
brother’s
wife
and
marry
her,
that thou mayst
raise
seed
to thy
brother.
\VS{9}He
knowing
that
the
children
should
not
be
his,
when
he
went
in
to
his
brother’s
wife, spilled
his
seed
upon
the
ground, lest
children
should
be
born
in
his
brother’s
name.
\VS{10}And
therefore
the
Lord slew
him,
because
he
did
a detestable thing.
\VS{11}Wherefore Juda
said
to Thamar
his
daughter
in law:
Remain
a
widow
in thy
father’s
house,
till Sela
my
son
grow
up:
for
he
was afraid
lest
he
also
might
die,
as
his
brethren did.
She
went
her
way
and
dwelt
in
her
father’s
house.
\VS{12}And
after
many
days
were past,
the
daughter
of Sue
the
wife
of Juda
died:
and
when
he
had
taken
comfort
after
his
mourning,
he
went
up
to Thamnas,
to
the
shearers
of
his
sheep,
he
and Hiras
the Odollamite
the shepherd
of
his
flock.
\VS{13}And
it
was
told Thamar
that
her father
in law
was
come
up
to Thamnas
to
shear
his
sheep.
\VS{14}And
she
put
off
the
garments
of
her
widowhood,
and
took
a
veil:
and changing
her dress,
sat
in
the cross
way,
that leadeth
to Thamnas:
because Sela
was
grown
up,
and
she
had
not
been
married
to
him.
\VS{15}When Juda
saw
her,
he
thought
she
was
a
harlot:
for
she
had
covered
her
face, lest
she
should
be known.
\VS{16}And
going
to
her,
he
said: Suffer
me
to lie
with thee:
for
he
knew
her
not
to
be
his daughter
in law.
And
she
answered:
What wilt thou
give
me
to enjoy
my company?
\VS{17}He
said:
I
will
send thee
a kid
out
of
the
flock.
And
when
she
said
again:
I
will suffer what thou wilt,
if thou
give
a
pledge,
till thou
send what thou promisest,
\VS{18}Juda
said:
What wilt thou
have
for
a
pledge?
She
answered: Thy ring
and bracelet,
and
the
staff
which thou holdest
in thy
hand.
The woman
therefore
at
one copulation
conceived.
\VS{19}And
she
arose
and
went
her
way:
and
putting
off
the
apparel which
she had
taken,
put
on
the
garments
of
her
widowhood.
\VS{20}And Juda
sent
a kid
by
his shepherd,
the Odollamite,
that
he might
receive
the
pledge
again,
which
he
had
given
to
the
woman:
but
he,
not
finding
her,
\VS{21}Asked
the
men
of
that
place:
Where
is
the
woman
that sat
in
the cross
way?
And
when
they
all
made
answer:
There
was
no harlot
in
this
place,
\VS{22}He
returned
to Juda,
and
said
to
him:
I
have
not
found
her;
moreover
the
men
of
that
place
said
to
me,
that
there
never sat
a harlot
there.
\VS{23}Juda
said:
Let
her
take
it
to herself;
surely
she
cannot charge
us
with
a,
lie:
I
sent
the kid
which
I
promised:
and thou didst
not
find
her.
\VS{24}And
behold
after
three
months
they
told Juda,
saying: Thamar, thy daughter
in law hath
played
the
harlot,
and
she appeareth
to
have
a big belly.
And Juda
said:
Bring
her
out
that
she
may
be
burnt.
\VS{25}But
when
she
was
led
to execution,
she
sent
to
her father
in law,
saying:
By
the
man,
to
whom
these
things
belong,
I
am
with
child.
See
whose
ring,
and bracelet,
and
staff
this
is.
\VS{26}But
he acknowledging
the gifts,
said:
She
is juster
than
I:
because
I
did
not
give
her
to Sela,
my
son. However,
he
knew
her
no
more.
\VS{27}And
when
she
was ready
to
be
brought
to bed,
there appeared
twins
in
her
womb:
and
in
the very
delivery
of
the infants,
one put
forth
a hand, whereon
the
midwife tied
a scarlet thread, saying:
\VS{28}This
shall
come
forth
the
first.
\VS{29}But
he drawing
back
his
hand,
the
other
came
forth:
and
the
woman
said:
Why
is
the partition divided
for thee?
and
therefore
called
his
name Phares.
\VS{30}Afterwards
his
brother
came
out,
on
whose
hand
was
the
scarlet thread:
and
she
called
him Zara.

\par }\Chap{39}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Joseph
was
brought
into
Egypt,
and Putiphar
an
eunuch
of Pharao,
chief
captain
of
the army,
an
Egyptian,
bought
him
of
the Ismaelites,
by
whom
he
was
brought.
\VS{2}And
the
Lord
was
with
him,
and
he
was
a
prosperous
man
in
all
things:
and
he dwelt
in
his
master’s
house,
\VS{3}Who knew very
well
that
the
Lord
was
with
him,
and
made
all
that
he
did
to
prosper
in
his
hand.
\VS{4}And
Joseph
found favour
in
the
sight
of
his
master,
and
ministered
to
him:
and being
set
over
all
by
him,
he governed
the
house
committed
to
him,
and
all
things
that
were
delivered
to
him:
\VS{5}And
the
Lord
blessed
the
house
of
the
Egyptian
for
Joseph’s
sake,
and multiplied
all
his substance,
both
at
home,
and
in
the
fields.
\VS{6}Neither
knew
he
any
other
thing,
but
the
bread
which
he
ate.
And
Joseph
was
of
a
beautiful countenance,
and comely
to
behold.
\VS{7}And
after many days
his mistress cast
her
eyes
on
Joseph,
and
said:
Lie
with
me.
\VS{8}But
he,
in
no wise consenting
to
that wicked act,
said
to
her:
Behold,
my
master hath
delivered
all
things
to
me,
and knoweth
not
what
he hath
in
his own
house:
\VS{9}Neither
is
there
any
thing
which
is
not
in
my power,
or
that
he hath
not delivered
to
me,
but thee,
who art
his
wife:
how
then
can
I
do
this
wicked
thing,
and
sin
against
my
God?
\VS{10}With
such words
as
these
day
by
day, both
the woman
was importunate
with
the
young man,
and
he
refused
the adultery.
\VS{11}Now
it
happened
on
a
certain
day,
that
Joseph
went
into
the
house,
and
was
doing
some
business
without
any,
man
with
him:
\VS{12}And
she catching
the skirt
of
his
garment,
said:
Lie
with
me.
But
he
leaving
the
garment
in
her
hand,
fled,
and
went
out.
\VS{13}And
when
the woman
saw
the
garment
in
her
hands,
and
herself disregarded,
\VS{14}She
called
to
her
the
men
of
her
house,
and
said
to
them:
See,
he hath
brought
in
a
Hebrew,
to abuse
us:
he
came
in
to
me,
to
lie
with
me:
and
when
I
cried
out,
\VS{15}And
he
heard
my
voice,
he
left
the
garment
that
I
held,
and
got
him
out.
\VS{16}For
a proof therefore
of
her fidelity,
she kept
the
garment,
and shewed
it
to
her husband
when
he
returned
home:
\VS{17}And
said:
The
Hebrew
servant,
whom thou hast
brought,
came
to
me
to abuse
me.
\VS{18}And
when
he
heard
me
cry,
he
left
the
garment which
I
held,
and
fled
out.
\VS{19}His
master
hearing
these
things,
and
giving too
much credit
to
his
wife’s
words,
was
very
angry.
\VS{20}And
cast
Joseph
into
the
prison,
where
the
king’s
prisoners
were
kept,
and
he
was
there shut
up.
\VS{21}But
the
Lord
was
with
Joseph
and
having
mercy
upon
him
gave
him favour
in
the
sight
of
the
chief
keeper
of
the
prison:
\VS{22}Who
delivered
into
his
hand
all
the
prisoners
that
were
kept
in
custody:
and
whatsoever
was
done
was
under
him.
\VS{23}Neither
did
he
himself
know
any
thing,
having
committed
all
things
to
him:
for
the
Lord
was
with
him,
and
made
all
that
he
did
to
prosper.

\par }\Chap{40}{\PP \VerseOne{1}After
this,
it
came
to
pass,
that two eunuchs,
the butler
and
the
baker
of
the
king
of
Egypt,
offended
their
lord.
\VS{2}And Pharao being
angry
with
them (now
the
one
was
chief butler,
the
other
chief
baker)
\VS{3}He
sent
them
to
the
prison
of
the
commander
of
the soldiers,
in
which
Joseph
also
was
prisoner,
\VS{4}But
the keeper
of
the
prison delivered
them
to
Joseph,
and
he
served
them.
Some little
time
passed,
and
they
were kept
in
custody.
\VS{5}And
they
both
dreamed
a
dream
the
same
night,
according
to
the
interpretation agreeing
to themselves:
\VS{6}And
when
Joseph
was
come
in
to
them
in
the
morning,
and
saw
them sad,
\VS{7}He
asked
them,
saying:
Why
is
your
countenance sadder
today than
usual?
\VS{8}They
answered:
We
have
dreamed
a
dream,
and
there
is
nobody
to
interpret
it
to
us.
And
Joseph
said
to
them: Doth
not
interpretation
belong
to
God?
Tell
me what
you
have
dreamed.
\VS{9}The
chief butler
first
told
his
dream:
I
saw
before
me
a
vine,
\VS{10}On
which
were
three
branches,
which
by little
and little
sent out buds,
and after
the blossoms
brought forth
ripe
grapes:
\VS{11}And
the
cup
of Pharao
was
in
my
hand:
and
I
took
the
grapes,
and pressed
them
into
the
cup which
I
held,
and
I
gave
the
cup
to Pharao.
\VS{12}Joseph
answered:
This
is
the
interpretation
of
the dream:
The
three
branches
are
yet
three
days:
\VS{13}After
which Pharao
will remember thy
service,
and
will
restore thee
to thy
former
place:
and thou shalt
present
him
the
cup
according
to thy office,
as
before thou wast wont
to
do.
\VS{14}Only
remember
me,
when
it
shall
be
well
with thee,
and
do
me
this
kindness:
to
put Pharao
in
mind
to
take
me
out
of
this
prison:
\VS{15}For
I
was
stolen
away
out
of
the
land
of
the
Hebrews,
and
here
without
any
fault
was cast
into
the dungeon.
\VS{16}The
chief
baker
seeing
that
he
had wisely
interpreted
the
dream,
said:
I
also dreamed
a
dream,
That
I
had
three
baskets
of meal
upon
my
head:
\VS{17}And
that
in
one
basket which
was uppermost,
I
carried
all meats
that
are
made
by
the
art
of baking,
and
that
the
birds
ate
out
of
it.
\VS{18}Joseph
answered:
This
is
the
interpretation
of
the dream:
The
three
baskets
are
yet
three
days:
\VS{19}After
which Pharao
will
take thy
head
from thee,
and
hang thee
on
a cross,
and
the
birds
shall tear thy
flesh.
\VS{20}The
third
day
after
this
was
the
birthday
of Pharao:
and
he
made
a great
feast
for
his
servants,
and
at
the
banquet remembered
the
chief butler,
and
the
chief
baker.
\VS{21}And
he
restored
the one
to
his
place
to
present
him
the
cup:
\VS{22}The other
he
hanged on
a gibbet,
that
the truth
of
the interpreter
might be shewn.
\VS{23}But
the
chief butler,
when
things prospered
with
him,
forgot
his interpreter.

\par }\Chap{41}{\PP \VerseOne{1}After two
years Pharao
had
a
dream.
He thought
he
stood
by
the
river,
\VS{2}Out
of which
came
up
seven kine, very
beautiful
and
fat:
and
they fed
in marshy places.
\VS{3}Other
seven
also
came
up
out
of
the
river, ill favoured,
and leanfleshed:
and
they fed
on
the very
bank
of
the
river,
in green places:
\VS{4}And
they
devoured
them, whose
bodies were very
beautiful
and well conditioned.
So Pharao
awoke.
\VS{5}He
slept
again,
and
dreamed
another
dream:
Seven
ears
of corn
came
up upon
one
stalk full
and fair:
\VS{6}Then
seven other
ears
sprung
up
thin
and blasted,
\VS{7}And devoured
all
the beauty
of
the former. Pharao awaked
after
his rest:
\VS{8}And
when
morning
was
come,
being struck
with fear,
he
sent
to
all
the interpreters
of
Egypt,
and
to
all
the
wise
men:
and
they
being
called
for,
he
told
them
his
dream,
and
there
was
not
any
one
that could
interpret
it.
\VS{9}Then
at
length
the
chief butler
remembering,
said:
I
confess
my
sin:
\VS{10}The
king being
angry
with
his
servants, commanded
me
and
the
chief
baker
to
be
cast
into
the
prison
of
the
captain
of
the
soldiers:
\VS{11}Where
in
one
night both
of us
dreamed
a
dream foreboding
things
to come.
\VS{12}There
was
there
a
young
man
a
Hebrew,
servant
to
the
same
captain
of
the
soldiers:
to whom
we
told
our
dreams,
\VS{13}And
we heard
what afterwards
the event
of
the
thing proved
to
be
so.
For
I
was
restored
to
my office:
and
he
was
hanged
upon
a gibbet.
\VS{14}Forthwith
at
the king’s command,
Joseph
was
brought
out
of
the prison,
and
they
shaved
him,
and changing
his apparel,
brought
him
in
to
him.
\VS{15}And
he
said
to
him:
I
have
dreamed
dreams,
and
there
is
no
one
that
can expound
them:
Now
I
have
heard
that thou art very wise
at interpreting
them.
\VS{16}Joseph
answered:
Without
me,
God
shall
give Pharao
a prosperous
answer.
\VS{17}So Pharao
told
what
he
had dreamed: Methought
I
stood
upon
the
bank
of
the
river,
\VS{18}And
seven kine
came
up
out
of
the
river exceeding
beautiful
and full
of
flesh:
and
they grazed
on green places
in
a marshy pasture.
\VS{19}And
behold,
there
followed
these,
other
seven kine,
so
very ill favoured
and
lean,
that
I
never
saw
the
like
in
the
land
of
Egypt:
\VS{20}And
they
devoured
and
consumed
the
former,
\VS{21}And
yet
gave
no mark
of
their being full:
but
were
as lean
and ill favoured
as
before.
I
awoke,
and
then fell asleep again,
\VS{22}And dreamed
a
dream:
Seven
ears
of corn
grew
upon
one
stalk,
full
and very fair.
\VS{23}Other
seven
also
thin
and blasted,
sprung
of
the stock:
\VS{24}And
they devoured
the beauty
of
the former:
I
told
this dream
to
the conjecturers,
and
there
is
no
man
that
can expound
it.
\VS{25}Joseph
answered:
The king’s
dream
is
one:
God hath shewn
to Pharao
what
he
is
about
to
do.
\VS{26}The
seven beautiful kine,
and
the
seven full
ears,
are
seven
years
of plenty:
and both contain
the
same
meaning
of
the
dream.
\VS{27}And
the
seven
lean
and
thin kine
that
came
up
after
them,
and
the
seven
thin
ears
that
were blasted
with
the burning
wind,
are
seven
years
of
famine
to
come:
\VS{28}Which
shall
be fulfilled
in
this
order:
\VS{29}Behold,
there
shall
come
seven
years
of
great
plenty
in
the
whole
land
of
Egypt:
\VS{30}After which
shall
follow
other
seven
years
of
so great scarcity,
that
all
the
abundance before
shall
be
forgotten:
for
the
famine
shall
consume
all
the
land,
\VS{31}And
the greatness
of
the scarcity
shall destroy
the greatness
of
the
plenty.
\VS{32}And
for
that thou didst see
the
second
time
a
dream
pertaining
to
the
same
thing:
it
is
a token
of
the
certainty,
and
that
the
word
of
God cometh
to pass,
and
is fulfilled speedily.
\VS{33}Now
therefore
let
the
king
provide
a
wise
and industrious
man,
and
make
him ruler
over
the
land
of
Egypt:
\VS{34}That
he
may
appoint
overseers
over
all
the
countries:
and gather
into barns
the
fifth
part
of
the fruits, during
the
seven fruitful
years,
\VS{35}That
shall
now presently ensue:
and let
all
the corn
be
laid
up
under Pharao’s
hands
and
be
reserved
in
the
cities.
\VS{36}And
let
it
be
in readiness,
against
the
famine
of
seven
years
to
come,
which
shall oppress
Egypt,
and
the
land
shall
not
be consumed
with scarcity.
\VS{37}The
counsel
pleased Pharao
and
all
his
servants.
\VS{38}And
he
said
to
them:
Can
we
find
such
another
man,
that
is full
of
the
spirit
of
God?
\VS{39}He
said
therefore
to
Joseph: Seeing
God hath shewn thee
all
that thou hast
said,
can
I
find
one
wiser
and
one
like unto thee?
\VS{40}Thou shalt
be
over
my
house,
and
at
the
commandment
of thy
mouth
all
the
people
shall obey:
only
in
the kingly
throne
will
I
be
above thee.
\VS{41}And again Pharao
said
to
Joseph:
Behold,
I
have
appointed thee
over
the
whole
land
of
Egypt.
\VS{42}And
he
took
his
ring
from
his own
hand,
and
gave
it
into
his
hand:
and
he
put
upon
him
a robe
of silk,
and
put
a
chain
of
gold
about
his
neck.
\VS{43}And
he
made
him go
up
into
his
second
chariot,
the crier
proclaiming
that
all
should
bow
their
knee
before
him,
and
that
they
should know
he
was
made governor
over
the
whole
land
of
Egypt.
\VS{44}And
the king
said
to
Joseph:
I
am Pharao;
without thy commandment
no
man
shall move
hand
or
foot
in
all
the
land
of
Egypt.
\VS{45}And
he
turned
his
name,
and
called
him
in
the
Egyptian tongue,
The saviour
of
the
world.
And
he
gave
him
to
wife Aseneth
the
daughter
of Putiphare
priest
of Heliopolis.
Then
Joseph
went
out
to
the
land
of
Egypt:
\VS{46}(Now
he
was
thirty
years
old
when
he
stood
before
king Pharao)
and
he
went round
all
the
countries
of
Egypt.
\VS{47}And
the fruitfulness
of
the
seven
years
came:
and
the corn being bound up
into sheaves
was gathered together
into
the barns
of Egypt.
\VS{48}And
all
the abundance
of
grain
was
laid
up
in
every
city.
\VS{49}And
there
was
so
great
abundance
of
wheat,
that
it
was
equal
to
the
sand
of
the
sea,
and
the plenty exceeded
measure.
\VS{50}And
before
the
famine
came,
Joseph
had
two
sons
born:
whom Aseneth
the
daughter
of Putiphare
priest
of Heliopolis
bore unto
him.
\VS{51}And
he
called
the
name
of
the
firstborn Manasses, saying:
God hath
made
me
to
forget
all
my labours,
and
my
father’s
house.
\VS{52}And
he
named
the
second
Ephraim, saying:
God hath
made
me
to grow
in
the
land
of
my poverty.
\VS{53}Now
when
the
seven
years
of
the
plenty
that
had
been
in
Egypt
were past:
\VS{54}The
seven
years
of scarcity,
which
Joseph
had foretold,
began
to
come:
and
the
famine prevailed
in
the
whole
world,
but
there
was
bread
in
all
the
land
of
Egypt.
\VS{55}And
when
there
also
they began
to
be
famished,
the
people
cried
to Pharao
for
food.
And
he
said
to
them: Go
to
Joseph:
and
do
all
that
he
shall
say
to
you.
\VS{56}And
the
famine increased daily
in
all
the
land:
and
Joseph
opened
all
the barns,
and
sold
to
the
Egyptians:
for
the
famine
had oppressed
them
also.
\VS{57}And
all provinces
came
into
Egypt,
to
buy food,
and
to seek
some relief
of
their want.

\par }\Chap{42}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Jacob hearing
that food
was sold
in
Egypt,
said
to
his
sons:
Why
are ye careless?
\VS{2}I
have
heard
that wheat
is
sold
in
Egypt:
go ye
down,
and
buy
us necessaries,
that
we
may
live,
and
not
be consumed
with want.
\VS{3}So
the
ten
brethren
of
Joseph
went
down,
to
buy corn
in
Egypt:
\VS{4}Whilst
Benjamin
was kept
at home
by
Jacob,
who
said
to
his
brethren:
Lest
perhaps
he take
any
harm
in
the journey.
\VS{5}And
they
entered
into
the
land
of Egypt
with others
that
went
to
buy.
For
the
famine
was
in
the
land
of Chanaan.
\VS{6}And
Joseph
was governor
in
the
land
of Egypt,
and corn
was
sold
by
his direction
to
the
people.
And
when
his
brethren
had
bowed
down
to
him,
\VS{7}And
he knew
them,
he
spoke
as
it
were
to strangers somewhat roughly,
asking
them: Whence
came
you?
They
answered:
From
the
land
of Chanaan,
to
buy necessaries
of life.
\VS{8}And though
he knew
his
brethren,
he
was
not
known
by
them.
\VS{9}And
remembering
the
dreams,
which formerly
he
had
dreamed,
he
said
to
them:
You
are
spies.
You
are
come
to
view
the weaker
parts
of
the
land.
\VS{10}But
they
said:
It
is
not
so,
my
lord,
but thy
servants
are
come
to
buy
food.
\VS{11}We
are
all
the
sons
of
one
man:
we
are
come
as peaceable
men,
neither
do thy
servants
go
about
any evil.
\VS{12}And
he
answered
them:
It
is
otherwise:
you
are
come
to
consider
the unfenced
parts
of
this
land.
\VS{13}But
they
said:
We thy
servants
are
twelve
brethren,
the
sons
of
one
man
in
the
land
of Chanaan:
the
youngest
is
with
our
father,
the
other
is
not
living.
\VS{14}He saith:
This
is
it
that
I
said:
You
are
spies.
\VS{15}I
shall
now presently
try
what
you are:
by
the health
of Pharao
you
shall
not
depart hence, until
your
youngest
brother
come.
\VS{16}Send
one
of
you
to fetch
him:
and
you
shall
be
in prison, till
what
you
have
said
be
proved,
whether
it
be
true
or false:
or
else
by
the health
of Pharao
you
are
spies.
\VS{17}So
he
put
them
in
prison
three
days.
\VS{18}And
the
third
day
he
brought
them
out
of prison,
and
said:
Do
as
I
have
said,
and
you
shall
live:
for
I
fear
God.
\VS{19}If
you
be peaceable men,
let
one
of
your
brethren
be
bound
in
prison:
and
go ye
your ways
and
carry
the corn
that
you
have bought, unto
your
houses.
\VS{20}And
bring
your
youngest
brother
to
me,
that
I
may find
your
words
to
be
true,
and
you
may
not
die.
They
did
as
he
had
said.
\VS{21}And
they talked
one
to
another:
We
deserve
to suffer
these
things,
because
we
have sinned
against
our
brother,
seeing
the
anguish
of
his
soul,
when
he besought
us,
and
we
would
not
hear:
therefore
is
this affliction
come
upon
us.
\VS{22}And Ruben
one
of
them,
said:
Did
not
I
say
to
you:
Do
not
sin
against
the
boy:
and
you
would
not
hear
me?
Behold
his
blood
is
required.
\VS{23}And
they
knew
not
that
Joseph
understood,
because
he spoke
to
them
by
an interpreter.
\VS{24}And
he
turned
himself
away
a little
while,
and
wept:
and
returning
he
spoke
to
them.
\VS{25}And taking Simeon,
and binding
him
in
their presence,
he
commanded
his
servants
to
fill
their
sacks
with
wheat,
and
to
put
every
man’s
money
again
in
their
sacks,
and
to
give
them besides
provisions
for
the
way:
and
they
did
so.
\VS{26}But
they having
loaded
their asses
with
the corn,
went
their
way.
\VS{27}And
one
of
them
opening
his
sack,
to
give
his beast provender
in
the inn,
saw
the
money
in
the sack’s
mouth;
\VS{28}And
said
to
his
brethren:
My
money
is given
me
again,
behold
it
is
in
the
sack.
And
they
were astonished,
and troubled,
and
said
to
one
another:
What
is
this
that
God hath
done unto
us?
\VS{29}And
they
came
to
Jacob
their
father
in
the
land
of Chanaan,
and
they
told
him
all
things
that
had befallen
them,
saying:
\VS{30}The
lord
of
the
land
spoke roughly
to
us,
and
took
us
to
be
spies
of
the
country.
\VS{31}And
we
answered
him:
We
are peaceable
men,
and
we mean
no plot.
\VS{32}We
are
twelve
brethren
born
of
one
father:
one
is
not living,
the
youngest
is
with
our
father
in
the
land
of Chanaan.
\VS{33}And
he
said
to
us: Hereby
shall
I
know
that
you
are peaceable
men:
Leave
one
of
your
brethren
with
me,
and
take ye necessary provision
for
your
houses,
and
go
your ways.
\VS{34}And
bring
your
youngest
brother
to
me,
that
I
may
know
you
are
not
spies:
and
you
may
receive
this man again,
that
is
kept
in prison:
and afterwards
may
have leave
to buy
what
you
will.
\VS{35}When
they
had told
this,
they poured
out
their corn
and
every
man found
his
money tied
in
the mouth
of
his
sack:
and
all
being astonished together,
\VS{36}Their
father
Jacob
said:
You
have
made
me
to
be
without
children:
Joseph
is
not living,
Simeon
is kept
in bonds,
and
Benjamin
you
will
take
away:
all
these evils
are
fallen
upon
me.
\VS{37}And Ruben
answered
him:
Kill
my
two
sons
if
I
bring
him
not
again
to thee:
deliver
him
into
my
hand,
and
I
will
restore
him
to thee.
\VS{38}But
he
said:
My
son
shall
not
go
down
with
you:
his
brother
is
dead,
and
he
is
left
alone:
if
any mischief
befall
him
in
the land
to
which
you
go,
you
will
bring
down
my
gray
hairs
with
sorrow
to hell.

\par }\Chap{43}{\PP \VerseOne{1}In
the mean time
the
famine
was
heavy upon all
the
land.
\VS{2}And
when
they
had
eaten
up
all
the corn,
which
they
had
brought
out
of
Egypt,
Jacob
said
to
his
sons:
Go
again
and
buy
us
a
little
food.
\VS{3}Juda
answered:
The
man
declared unto
us
with
the attestation
of
an oath,
saying:
You
shall
not
see
my
face,
unless
you bring
your youngest
brother
with
you.
\VS{4}If
therefore thou wilt
send
him
with
us,
we
will
set
out
together,
and
will
buy necessaries
for thee.
\VS{5}But
if thou wilt
not,
we
will
not
go:
for
the
man,
as
we
have often
said,
declared unto
us,
saying:
You
shall
not
see
my
face
without
your youngest
brother.
\VS{6}Israel
said
to
them:
You
have done
this
for
my misery
in
that
you
told
him
you
had
also
another
brother.
\VS{7}But
they
answered:
The
man
asked
us
in
order
concerning
our
kindred:
if
our
father
lived:
if
we
had
a
brother:
and
we
answered
him regularly,
according
to
what
he
demanded:
could
we
know
that
he
would
say:
Bring hither
your
brother
with
you?
\VS{8}And Juda
said
to
his
father:
Send
the
boy
with
me,
that
we
may
set
forward,
and
may
live: lest
both
we
and
our
children perish.
\VS{9}I
take
the boy
upon
me,
require
him
at
my
hand:
unless
I
bring
him
again,
and restore
him
to thee,
I
will
be guilty
of
sin
against thee
for ever.
\VS{10}If
delay
had
not
been
made,
we
had
been
here
again
the second
time.
\VS{11}Then
Israel
said
to
them:
If
it
must needs
be
so,
do
what
you
will:
take
of
the
best fruits
of
the
land
in
your
vessels,
and
carry
down
presents
to
the
man,
a
little
balm,
and
honey,
and storax,
myrrh, turpentine,
and
almonds.
\VS{12}And
take
with
you
double
money,
and
carry
back
what
you found
in
your
sacks, lest
perhaps
it
was
done
by
mistake.
\VS{13}And
take
also
your
brother,
and
go
to
the
man.
\VS{14}And
may
my
almighty
God
make
him favourable
to
you;
and
send back
with
you
your
brother,
whom
he keepeth,
and
this
Benjamin:
and
as
for
me
I
shall
be desolate without
children.
\VS{15}So
the
men
took
the
presents,
and
double
money,
and
Benjamin:
and
went
down
into
Egypt,
and
stood
before
Joseph.
\VS{16}And
when
he
had
seen
them,
and
Benjamin
with
them,
he
commanded
the
steward
of
his
house,
saying:
Bring
in
the
men
into
the
house,
and kill victims,
and
prepare
a
feast:
because
they
shall
eat
with
me
at
noon.
\VS{17}He
did
as
he
was
commanded,
and
brought
the
men
into
the
house.
\VS{18}And
they being
much
afraid,
said
there
one
to
another:
Because
of
the
money,
which
we
carried
back
the
first
time
in
our
sacks,
we
are
brought
in:
that
he
may
bring
upon
us
a false accusation,
and
by violence
make
slaves
of
us
and
our asses.
\VS{19}Wherefore going
up
to
the
steward
of
the
house,
at
the
door,
\VS{20}They
said:
Sir, we desire thee
to hear
us: We
came
down
once
before
to
buy
food:
\VS{21}And
when
we
had bought,
and
come
to
the inn,
we
opened
our
sacks,
and found
our
money
in
the
mouths
of
the
sacks: which
we
have
now
brought
again
in
the
same
weight.
\VS{22}And we
have
brought
other
money besides,
to
buy
what we want: we
cannot
tell
who
put
it
in
our bags.
\VS{23}But
he
answered:
Peace
be
with
you,
fear
not:
your
God,
and
the
God
of
your
father hath
given
you
treasure
in
your
sacks.
For
the
money, which
you
gave
me,
I
have
for good.
And
he
brought
Simeon
out
to
them.
\VS{24}And having
brought
them
into
the
house,
he fetched
water,
and
they
washed
their
feet,
and
he
gave provender
to
their asses.
\VS{25}But
they
made
ready
the
presents,
against
Joseph
came
at
noon:
for
they
had
heard
that
they
should
eat
bread
there.
\VS{26}Then
Joseph
came
into
his
house,
and
they offered
him
the
presents holding
them
in
their
hands,
and
they
bowed
down
with
their face
to
the
ground.
\VS{27}But
he, courteously saluting
them
again,
asked
them,
saying:
Is
the
old
man
your
father
in
health,
of
whom
you
told
me?
Is
he
yet
living?
\VS{28}And
they
answered: Thy
servant
our
father
is
in
health,
he
is
yet
living.
And
bowing
themselves
they made obeisance
to
him.
\VS{29}And
Joseph lifting
up
his
eyes,
saw
Benjamin
his
brother,
by
the
same
mother,
and
said:
Is
this
your
young
brother,
of
whom
you
told
me?
And
he
said:
God
be gracious
to thee,
my
son.
\VS{30}And
he
made
haste
because
his heart
was
moved
upon
his
brother,
and tears gushed
out:
and
going
into
his
chamber
he
wept.
\VS{31}And
when
he
had
washed
his
face,
coming
out
again,
he refrained
himself,
and
said:
Set
bread
on
the
table.
\VS{32}And
when
it
was
set
on,
for
Joseph
apart,
and
for
his brethren
apart,
for
the
Egyptians
also
that
ate
with
him,
apart, (for
it
is unlawful
for
the
Egyptians
to
eat
with
the
Hebrews,
and
they
think
such
a
feast profane):
\VS{33}They
sat
before
him,
the
firstborn
according
to
his
birthright,
and
the
youngest
according
to
his age.
And
they wondered very much:
\VS{34}Taking
the messes which
they received
of
him:
and
the
greater mess
came
to
Benjamin,
so
that
it exceeded
by
five
parts.
And
they
drank,
and
were merry
with
him.

\par }\Chap{44}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Joseph
commanded
the
steward
of
his
house,
saying:
Fill
their
sacks
with corn,
as
much
as
they
can
hold:
and
put
the
money
of
every
one
in
the
top
of
his
sack.
\VS{2}And
in
the
mouth
of
the younger’s
sack
put
my
silver
cup,
and
the
price
which
he
gave
for
the wheat.
And
it
was
so
done.
\VS{3}And
when
the
morning arose,
they
were
sent
away
with
their asses.
\VS{4}And
when
they
were
now
departed
out
of
the
city,
and
had
gone
forward
a little
way;
Joseph sending
for
the
steward
of
his
house,
said:
Arise,
and
pursue
after
the
men:
and
when thou hast
overtaken
them,
say
to
them:
Why
have
you returned
evil
for
good?
\VS{5}The
cup
which
you
have stolen
is
that
in
which
my
lord drinketh,
and
in
which
he
is wont
to divine:
you
have
done
a
very
evil
thing.
\VS{6}He did
as
he
had
commanded
him.
And having
overtaken
them,
he
spoke
to
them
the
same
words.
\VS{7}And
they
answered:
Why doth
our
lord
speak
so,
as though thy
servants
had
committed
so heinous
a fact?
\VS{8}The
money,
that
we
found
in
the
top
of
our
sacks,
we
brought
back
to thee
from
the
land
of Chanaan:
how
then
should
it
be
that
we
should
steal
out
of thy
lord’s
house,
gold
or
silver?
\VS{9}With whomsoever
of thy
servants
shall
be
found
that
which thou seekest,
let
him
die,
and
we
will
be
the bondmen
of
my
lord.
\VS{10}And
he
said
to
them:
Let
it
be according
to
your sentence:
with whomsoever
it
shall
be
found,
let
him
be
my
servant,
and
you
shall
be blameless.
\VS{11}Then
they speedily
took
down
their
sacks
to
the
ground,
and
every
man
opened
his
sack.
\VS{12}Which
when
he
had
searched,
beginning
at
the eldest
and
ending
at
the
youngest,
he
found
the
cup
in
Benjamin’s
sack.
\VS{13}Then
they rent
their
garments,
and
loading
their asses
again,
returned
into
the
town.
\VS{14}And Juda
at
the
head
of
his
brethren
went
in
to
Joseph, (for
he
was
not
yet
gone
out
of
the
place),
and
they altogether
fell
down
before
him
on
the
ground.
\VS{15}And
he
said
to
them:
Why
would
you
do
so?
know
you
not
that
there
is
no
one
like
me
in
the science
of divining.
\VS{16}And Juda
said
to
him:
What
shall
we
answer
my
lord?
or
what
shall
we
say,
or
be
able justly
to allege?
God hath
found
out
the
iniquity
of thy
servants:
behold,
we
are
all bondmen
to
my
lord,
both
we,
and
he
with
whom
the
cup
was
found.
\VS{17}Joseph
answered:
God
forbid
that
I
should
do
so:
he
that stole
the
cup,
he
shall
be
my bondman:
and
go
you
away free
to
your
father.
\VS{18}Then Juda
coming nearer,
said boldly:
I
beseech thee,
my
lord,
let thy
servant
speak
a
word
in thy
ears,
and
be
not
angry
with thy
servant:
for
after Pharao thou art,
\VS{19}My
lord. Thou didst
ask thy
servants
the first time:
Have
you
a
father
or
a
brother?
\VS{20}And
we
answered thee,
my
lord:
We
have
a
father
an
old
man,
and
a
young
boy,
that
was born
in
his
old
age;
whose
brother
by
the
mother
is
dead:
and
he
alone
is
left
of
his
mother,
and
his
father loveth
him tenderly.
\VS{21}And thou saidst
to thy
servants:
Bring
him hither
to
me,
and
I
will
set
my
eyes
on
him.
\VS{22}We suggested
to
my
lord:
The
boy
cannot
leave
his
father:
for if
he
leave
him,
he
will
die.
\VS{23}And thou saidst
to thy
servants:
Except
your
youngest
brother
come
with
you,
you
shall
see
my
face
no
more.
\VS{24}Therefore
when
we
were
gone
up
to thy
servant
our
father,
we
told
him
all
that
my
lord
had
said.
\VS{25}And
our
father
said:
Go
again,
and
buy
us
a
little wheat.
\VS{26}And
we
said
to
him:
We
cannot
go:
if
our
youngest
brother
go
down
with
us,
we
will set
out
together:
otherwise,
without
him
we dare
not
see
the
man’s
face.
\VS{27}Whereunto
he
answered:
You
know
that
my
wife
bore
me
two.
\VS{28}One
went
out,
and
you
said:
A beast devoured
him:
and hitherto
he appeareth
not.
\VS{29}If
you
take
this
also,
and
any
thing befall
him
in
the
way
you
will
bring
down
my
gray
hairs
with sorrow unto hell.
\VS{30}Therefore if
I
shall
go
to thy
servant
our
father,
and
the
boy
be wanting, (whereas
his
life dependeth
upon
the
life
of
him,)
\VS{31}And
he
shall
see
that
he
is
not
with
us,
he
will
die,
and thy
servants
shall
bring
down
his
gray
hairs
with
sorrow unto hell.
\VS{32}Let
me
be thy proper
servant,
who
took
him
into
my trust,
and
promised,
saying:
If
I
bring
him
not again,
I
will
be guilty
of
sin
against
my
father
for ever.
\VS{33}Therefore
I thy
servant
will
stay
instead
of
the
boy
in
the service
of
my
lord,
and
let
the
boy
go
up
with
his
brethren.
\VS{34}For
I
cannot return
to
my
father
without
the
boy,
lest
I
be
a witness
of
the
calamity
that
will oppress
my
father.

\par }\Chap{45}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Joseph
could
no
longer
refrain
himself
before many
that
stood
by: whereupon
he commanded
that
all
should
go
out,
and
no stranger
be
present
at
their
knowing
one
another.
\VS{2}And
he lifted
up
his
voice
with
weeping,
which
the
Egyptians
and all
the
house
of Pharao
heard.
\VS{3}And
he
said
to
his
brethren:
I
am
Joseph:
is
my
father
yet
living?
His
brethren
could
not
answer
him, being struck
with exceeding great fear.
\VS{4}And
he
said mildly
to
them:
Come nearer
to
me.
And
when
they
were
come
near
him,
he
said:
I
am
Joseph,
your
brother,
whom
you
sold
into
Egypt.
\VS{5}Be
not afraid,
and
let
it
not
seem
to
you
a hard
case
that
you
sold
me
into these countries:
for
God
sent
me
before
you
into Egypt
for
your preservation.
\VS{6}For
it
is
two
years
since
the
famine began
to
be upon
the
land,
and
five
years
more remain,
wherein
there
can
be
neither ploughing
nor reaping.
\VS{7}And
God
sent
me
before,
that
you
may
be preserved
upon
the
earth,
and
may
have food
to
live.
\VS{8}Not
by
your counsel
was
I
sent hither,
but
by
the
will
of
God:
who hath
made
me
as
it
were
a
father
to Pharao,
and
lord
of
his
whole
house,
and governor
in
all
the
land
of
Egypt.
\VS{9}Make
haste,
and
go ye
up
to
my
father,
and
say
to
him:
Thus saith thy
son
Joseph:
God hath
made
me
lord
of
the
whole land
of
Egypt:
come
down
to
me, linger
not.
\VS{10}And thou shalt
dwell
in
the
land
of Gessen:
and thou shalt
be
near
me, thou
and thy
sons,
and thy
sons’
sons, thy
sheep,
and thy
herds,
and
all
things
that thou hast.
\VS{11}And
there
I
will feed thee, (for
there
are
yet
five
years
of
famine remaining),
lest
both thou perish,
and thy
house,
and
all
things
that thou hast.
\VS{12}Behold,
your
eyes,
and
the
eyes
of
my
brother
Benjamin
see
that
it
is
my
mouth
that speaketh
to
you.
\VS{13}You
shall
tell
my
father
of
all
my
glory,
and
all
things
that
you
have
seen
in
Egypt:
make
haste
and
bring
him
to
me.
\VS{14}And
falling
upon
the
neck
of
his
brother
Benjamin,
he embraced
him
and
wept:
and
Benjamin
in
like manner
wept
also
on
his
neck.
\VS{15}And Joseph
kissed
all
his
brethren,
and
wept
upon
every
one
of
them:
after which
they
were emboldened
to
speak
to
him.
\VS{16}And
it
was
heard,
and
the fame
was abroad
in
the king’s
court:
The
brethren
of
Joseph
are
come:
and Pharao
with all
his
family
was
glad.
\VS{17}And
he
spoke
to
Joseph
that
he
should
give
orders
to
his
brethren,
saying:
Load
your
beasts,
and
go
into
the
land
of Chanaan.
\VS{18}And
bring
away
from thence
your
father
and kindred,
and
come
to
me:
and
I
will
give
you
all
the
good
things
of
Egypt,
that
you
may
eat
the
marrow
of
the
land.
\VS{19}Give
orders
also
that
they
take
wagons
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
for
the carriage
of
their
children
and
their
wives:
and say:
Take
up
your
father,
and
make haste
to
come
with all speed:
\VS{20}And leave
nothing
of
your household stuff:
for
all
the riches
of
Egypt
shall
be yours.
\VS{21}And
the
sons
of
Israel
did
as
they
were bid.
And
Joseph
gave
them
wagons
according
to Pharao’s
commandment:
and
provisions
for
the
way.
\VS{22}He ordered
also
to
be
brought
out
for
every
one
of
them
two robes:
but
to
Benjamin
he
gave
three
hundred pieces
of
silver
with
five robes
of
the best:
\VS{23}Sending
to
his
father
as much money
and raiment, adding besides
ten
he asses
to
carry
off all
the riches
of
Egypt,
and
as many she asses,
carrying
wheat
and
bread
for
the
journey.
\VS{24}So
he
sent
away
his
brethren,
and
at
their departing
said
to
them:
Be
not angry
in
the
way.
\VS{25}And
they
went
up
out
of
Egypt,
and
came
into
the
land
of Chanaan
to
their
father
Jacob.
\VS{26}And
they
told
him,
saying:
Joseph thy son
is
living:
and
he
is
ruler
in
all
the
land
of
Egypt.
Which
when
Jacob
heard,
he awaked
as
it
were
out
of
a deep sleep,
yet
did
not
believe
them.
\VS{27}They,
on
the
other
side,
told
the
whole
order
of
the
thing.
And
when
he
saw
the
wagons
and
all
that
he
had
sent
his
spirit
revived,
\VS{28}And
he
said:
It
is
enough
for
me,
if
Joseph
my
son
be
yet
living:
I
will go
and
see
him
before
I
die.

Israel
taking
his
journey,
with
all
that
he
had,
came
to
the
well
of
the oath,

there
to
the
God
of

men
are
shepherds,
and
their occupation
is
to
feed
cattle:
their
flocks
and
herds,
and
all
they
have,
they
have
brought
with
them.
\VS{33}And
when
he
shall
call
you,
and
shall
say:
What
is
your
occupation?
\VS{34}You
shall
answer:
We thy
servants
are
shepherds,
from
our infancy
until
now,
both
we
and
our
fathers.
And
this
you
shall
say,
that
you
may
dwell
in
the
land
of Gessen,
because
the
Egyptians
have
all
shepherds
in
abomination.

\par }\Chap{47}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Then
Joseph
went
in
and
told Pharao,
saying:
My
father
and
brethren,
their
sheep
and
their
herds,
and
all
that
they possess,
are
come
out
of
the
land
of Chanaan:
and
behold
they stay
in
the
land
of Gessen.
\VS{2}Five
men also
the last
of
his
brethren,
he presented
before
the king:
\VS{3}And
he
asked
them:
What
is
your
occupation?
They
answered:
We thy
servants
are
shepherds,
both
we,
and
our
fathers.
\VS{4}We
are
come
to sojourn
in thy
land,
because
there
is
no grass
for
the
flocks
of thy
servants,
the
famine being
very
grievous
in
the
land
of Chanaan:
and
we
pray thee
to
give
orders
that
we thy
servants
may
be
in
the
land
of Gessen.
\VS{5}The king therefore
said
to
Joseph: Thy
father
and thy
brethren
are
come
to thee.
\VS{6}The
land
of
Egypt
is
before thee:
make
them
dwell
in
the
best
place,
and
give
them
the
land
of Gessen.
And
if thou knowest
that
there
are industrious
men
among
them,
make
them
rulers
over
my
cattle.
\VS{7}After
this
Joseph
brought
in
his
father
to
the king,
and
presented
him
before
him:
and
he
blessed
him.
\VS{8}And being
asked
by
him:
How
many
are
the
days
of
the
years
of thy
life?
\VS{9}He
answered:
The
days
of
my
pilgrimage
are
a
hundred
and
thirty
years,
few,
and
evil,
and
they
are
not
come
up
to
the
days
of
the
pilgrimage
of
my
fathers.
\VS{10}And
blessing
the king,
he
went
out.
\VS{11}But
Joseph
gave
a
possession
to
his
father
and
his
brethren
in
Egypt,
in
the
best
place
of
the
land,
in Ramesses,
as Pharao
had
commanded.
\VS{12}And
he nourished
them,
and
all
his
father’s
house, allowing
food
to
every
one.
\VS{13}For
in
the
whole
world
there
was want
of
bread,
and
a
famine
had oppressed
the
land:
more
especially
of
Egypt
and Chanaan.
\VS{14}Out
of
which
he
gathered
up
all
the
money
for
the corn
which
they
bought,
and
brought
it
into
the king’s treasure.
\VS{15}And
when
the buyers wanted
money,
all
Egypt
came
to
Joseph,
saying:
Give
us
bread:
why
should
we
die
in thy
presence,
having
now
no
money.
\VS{16}And
he
answered
them:
Bring
me
your
cattle,
and
for
them
I
will
give
you food,
if
you
have
no
money.
\VS{17}And
when
they
had
brought
them,
he
gave
them
food
in
exchange
for
their
horses,
and
sheep,
and
oxen,
and asses
and
he maintained
them
that
year
for
the
exchange
of
their
cattle.
\VS{18}And
they
came
the
second
year,
and
said
to
him:
We
will
not
hide
from
our
lord,
how
that
our
money
is
spent,
and
our
cattle
also
are
gone:
neither art thou ignorant
that
we
have
nothing
now
left
but
our
bodies
and
our
lands.
\VS{19}Why
therefore
shall
we
die
before thy
eyes?
we
will
be thine,
both
we
and
our
lands:
buy
us
to
be
the king’s
servants,
and
give
us
seed, lest
for want
of tillers
the
land
be
turned
into
a wilderness.
\VS{20}So
Joseph
bought
all
the
land
of
Egypt,
every
man
selling
his possessions,
because
of
the greatness
of
the
famine.
And
he
brought
it
into Pharao’s hands:
\VS{21}And
all
its
people
from one
end
of
the
borders
of
Egypt,
even
to
the other
end thereof,
\VS{22}Except
the
land
of
the
priests,
which
had
been
given
them
by
the
king:
to
whom
also
a
certain allowance
of
food
was
given
out
of
the public stores,
and
therefore
they
were
not forced
to
sell
their possessions.
\VS{23}Then
Joseph
said
to
the
people:
Behold
as
you
see, both
you
and
your
lands belong
to Pharao: take
seed
and
sow
the
fields,
\VS{24}That
you
may
have corn.
The
fifth
part
you
shall
give
to
the king:
the other
four
you
shall
have
for
seed,
and
for
food
for
your
families
and
children.
\VS{25}And
they
answered:
Our
life
is
in thy hand: only
let
my
lord
look favourably
upon
us,
and
we
will gladly
serve
the king.
\VS{26}From
that
time unto
this
day,
in
the
whole
land
of
Egypt,
the
fifth
part
is
paid
to
the
king,
and
it
is
become
as
a law,
except
the
land
of
the
priests,
which
was free
from
this covenant.
\VS{27}So
Israel
dwelt
in
Egypt,
that
is,
in
the
land
of Gessen,
and
possessed it:
and
grew,
and
was
multiplied
exceedingly.
\VS{28}And
he
lived
in
it
seventeen
years:
and
all
the
days
of
his
life
came
to
a
hundred
and forty-seven
years.
\VS{29}And
when
he saw
that
the
day
of
his
death
drew nigh,
he
called
his
son
Joseph,
and
said
to
him:
If
I
have
found favour
in thy
sight,
put thy
hand
under
my
thigh;
and thou shalt shew
me
this
kindness
and
truth,
not
to
bury
me
in
Egypt:
\VS{30}But
I
will
sleep
with
my
fathers,
and thou shalt
take
me
away
out
of
this land,
and
bury
me
in
the
burying
place
of
my
ancestors.
And Joseph
answered
him:
I
will
do
what thou hast
commanded.
\VS{31}And
he
said:
Swear
then
to
me.
And as
he
was
swearing,
Israel adored
God, turning
to
the bed’s
head.

\par }\Chap{48}{\PP \VerseOne{1}After
these
things,
it
was
told
Joseph
that
his
father
was
sick:
and
he set
out
to
go
to
him,
taking
his
two
sons Manasses
and
Ephraim.
\VS{2}And
it
was
told
the
old
man:
Behold thy
son
Joseph cometh
to thee.
And
being
strengthened
he
sat
on
his
bed.
\VS{3}And
when
Joseph
was come
in
to
him,
he
said:
God
Almighty
appeared
to
me
at Luza, which
is
in
the
land
of Chanaan:
and
he
blessed
me,
\VS{4}And
he
said:
I
will
cause thee
to
increase
and
multiply,
and
I
will
make
of thee
a multitude
of
people:
and
I
will
give
this
land
to thee,
and
to thy
seed
after thee
for
an
everlasting
possession.
\VS{5}So thy
two
sons
who
were
born
to thee
in
the
land
of
Egypt
before
I
came hither
to thee,
shall
be mine:
Ephraim
and Manasses
shall
be reputed
to
me
as Ruben
and
Simeon.
\VS{6}But
the
rest
whom thou shalt
have
after
them,
shall
be thine,
and
shall
be
called
by
the
name
of
their
brethren
in
their possessions.
\VS{7}For,
when
I
came
out
of Mesopotamia,
Rachel
died
from
me
in
the
land
of Chanaan
in
the very
journey,
and
it
was springtime:
and
I
was
going
to Ephrata,
and
I
buried
her
near
the
way
of Ephrata,
which
by
another name
is
called
Bethlehem.
\VS{8}Then
seeing
his
sons,
he
said
to
him:
Who
are
these?
\VS{9}He
answered:
They
are
my
sons,
whom
God hath
given
me
in
this
place.
And
he
said:
Bring
them
to
me
that
I
may
bless
them.
\VS{10}For
Israel’s
eyes
were
dim
by reason
of
his great
age,
and
he
could
not
see clearly.
And
when
they
were
brought
to
him,
he
kissed
and
embraced
them.
\VS{11}And
said
to
his son:
I
am
not deprived
of
seeing thee:
moreover
God hath
showed
me thy
seed.
\VS{12}And
when
Joseph
had
taken
them
from
his father’s
lap,
he
bowed
down
with
his
face
to
the
ground.
\VS{13}And
he
set
Ephraim
on
his
right
hand,
that
is, towards
the
left
hand
of
Israel;
but Manasses
on
his
left
hand,
to wit, towards
his father’s
right
hand,
and
brought
them
near
to
him.
\VS{14}But
he stretching
forth
his
right
hand,
put
it
upon
the
head
of
Ephraim
the
younger brother;
and
the
left
upon
the
head
of Manasses
who
was
the elder, changing
his
hands.
\VS{15}And
Jacob
blessed
the
sons
of
Joseph,
and
said:
God,
in
whose
sight
my
fathers
Abraham
and
Isaac
walked,
God
that feedeth
me
from
my youth
until
this
day;
\VS{16}The
angel
that delivereth
me
from
all evils,
bless
these
boys:
and
let
my
name
be
called
upon
them,
and
the
names
of
my
fathers
Abraham,
and
Isaac,
and
may
they
grow
into
a
multitude
upon
the
earth.
\VS{17}And
Joseph
seeing
that
his
father
had
put
his
right
hand
upon
the
head
of
Ephraim,
was
much
displeased:
and taking
his
father’s
hand
he tried
to lift
it
from
Ephraim’s
head,
and
to
remove
it
to
the
head
of Manasses.
\VS{18}And
he
said
to
his
father:
It
should
not
be
so,
my
father:
for
this
is
the
firstborn,
put thy
right
hand
upon
his
head.
\VS{19}But
he
refusing,
said:
I
know,
my
son,
I
know:
and
this
also
shall
become
peoples,
and
shall
be multiplied:
but
this
younger
brother
shall
be
greater
than
he:
and
his
seed
shall
grow
into
nations.
\VS{20}And
he
blessed
them
at
that
time,
saying:
In thee
shall
Israel
be
blessed,
and
it
shall
be
said:
God do
to thee
as
to
Ephraim,
and
as
to Manasses.
And
he
set
Ephraim
before Manasses.
\VS{21}And
he
said
to
Joseph
his son:
Behold
I
die,
and
God
will
be
with
you,
and
will
bring
you
back
into
the
land
of
your
fathers.
\VS{22}I
give thee
a
portion
above thy
brethren,
which
I
took
out
of
the
hand
of
the Amorrhite
with
my
sword
and
bow.

\par }\Chap{49}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Jacob
called
his
sons,
and
said
to
them:
Gather yourselves
together
that
I
may
tell
you
the
things
that
shall
befall
you
in
the
last
days.
\VS{2}Gather
yourselves
together,
and
hear,
O ye
sons
of
Jacob, hearken
to
Israel
your
father:
\VS{3}Ruben, my
firstborn, thou art my
strength,
and
the
beginning
of my sorrow: excelling
in gifts, greater
in command.
\VS{4}Thou art poured
out
as
water,
grow thou
not:
because thou wentest
up
to thy
father’s
bed,
and didst
defile
his
couch.
\VS{5}Simeon
and
Levi
brethren:
vessels
of iniquity, waging war.
\VS{6}Let
not
my
soul
go
into
their
counsel,
nor
my
glory
be
in
their
assembly:
because
in
their fury
they
slew
a
man,
and
in
their selfwill
they undermined
a wall.
\VS{7}Cursed
be
their
fury,
because
it
was
stubborn:
and
their
wrath
because
it
was
cruel:
I
will
divide
them
in
Jacob,
and
will
scatter
them
in
Israel.
\VS{8}Juda, thee
shall thy
brethren
praise: thy
hands
shall
be
on
the
necks
of thy
enemies:
the
sons
of thy
father
shall
bow
down
to thee.
\VS{9}Juda
is
a
lion’s
whelp:
to
the
prey,
my
son, thou art
gone
up: resting thou hast couched
as
a
lion,
and
as
a
lioness,
who
shall
rouse
him?

shall
not
be
taken
away
from Juda,
nor
a ruler
from
his thigh,

come
that

shall
be
the expectation
of

his
foal

his ass, O my
son,
to
the
vine.
He
shall
wash
his
robe
in
wine,
and
his
garment
in
the
blood
of
the
grape.
\VS{12}His
eyes
are more beautiful than
wine,
and
his
teeth whiter than

and
in
the road
of
ships, reaching as
far as
Sidon.
\VS{14}Issachar shall be
a

lying
down

\VS{15}He
saw
rest
that

was
good:
and
the
land
that
it
was excellent:
and
he
bowed
his
shoulder
to
carry,

became

\VS{22}Joseph
is
a growing

a growing
son
and comely
to behold;
the
daughters
run
to
and fro
upon
the
wall.
\VS{23}But they
that held darts provoked him,
and quarrelled
with him,
and envied him.
\VS{24}His
bow rested
upon
the strong,
and
the bands
of
his
arms
and
his
hands
were loosed,
by
the
hands
of
the
mighty
one
of

he came forth
a pastor,

deep
that lieth
beneath,
with
the
blessings

breasts
and
of

womb.
\VS{26}The
blessings
of thy

are strengthened
with
the
blessings

fathers:
until
the desire

hills
should
come;

a
ravenous
wolf,

these
are
the
twelve
tribes
of
Israel:
these
things
their
father
spoke
to
them,
and
he
blessed
every
one,
with
their proper
blessings.
\VS{29}And
he
charged
them,
saying:
I
am
now going
to
be
gathered
to
my
people:
bury
me
with
my
fathers
in
the double
cave,
which
is
in
the
field
of
Ephron
the Hethite,
\VS{30}Over
against Mambre
in
the
land
of Chanaan,
which
Abraham
bought
together
with
the
field
of
Ephron
the Hethite
for
a
possession
to bury
in.
\VS{31}There
they
buried
him,
and Sara
his
wife:
there
was
Isaac
buried
with Rebecca
his
wife:
there
also Lia doth lie
buried.
\VS{32}And
when
he
had ended
the commandments, wherewith
he instructed
his
sons,
he drew
up
his feet upon
the bed,
and died:
and
he
was gathered
to
his
people.

\par }\Chap{50}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
when
Joseph saw this,
he
fell
upon
his
father’s
face
weeping
and kissing
him.
\VS{2}And
he
commanded
his
servants
the
physicians
to
embalm
his
father.
\VS{3}And
while
they
were
fulfilling
his commands, there
passed
forty
days:
for
this
was
the
manner
with bodies
that
were
embalmed,
and
Egypt
mourned
for
him
seventy
days.
\VS{4}And
the
time
of
the
mourning being expired,
Joseph
spoke
to
the
family
of Pharao:
If
I
have
found favour
in
your
sight,
speak
in
the
ears
of Pharao:
\VS{5}For
my
father
made
me
swear
to
him,
saying:
Behold
I
die: thou shalt
bury
me
in
my sepulchre
which
I
have digged
for
myself
in
the
land
of Chanaan.
So
I
will
go
up
and
bury
my
father,
and
return.
\VS{6}And Pharao
said
to
him:
Go
up
and
bury thy
father according
as
he
made thee
swear.
\VS{7}So
he
went
up,
and
there
went
with
him
all
the ancients
of Pharao’s
house,
and
all
the
elders
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
\VS{8}And
the
house
of
Joseph
with
his
brethren,
except
their
children,
and
their
flocks
and
herds,
which
they
left
in
the
land
of Gessen.
\VS{9}He
had
also
in
his
train
chariots
and
horsemen:
and
it
was
a
great
company.
\VS{10}And
they
came
to
the threshingfloor
of
Atad,
which
is
situated
beyond
the
Jordan:
where celebrating
the exequies
with
a
great
and vehement
lamentation,
they spent
full
seven
days.
\VS{11}And
when
the
inhabitants
of Chanaan
saw
this,
they
said:
This
is
a
great
mourning
to
the
Egyptians.
And
therefore
the
name
of
that
place
was
called,
The
mourning
of
Egypt.
\VS{12}So
the
sons
of Jacob
did
as
he
had
commanded
them.
\VS{13}And
carrying
him
into
the
land
of Chanaan,
they
buried
him
in
the double
cave
which
Abraham
had
bought
together
with
the
field
for
a
possession
of
a buryingplace,
of
Ephron
the Hethite
over
against Mambre.
\VS{14}And
Joseph
returned
into
Egypt
with
his
brethren,
and
all
that
were
in
his company,
after
he
had
buried
his
father.
\VS{15}Now
he being
dead,
his
brethren
were afraid,
and talked
one
with
another: Lest
perhaps
he
should remember
the
wrong
he
suffered,
and requite
us
all
the
evil
that
we
did
to
him.
\VS{16}And
they
sent
a message
to
him,
saying: Thy
father
commanded
us
before
he
died,
\VS{17}That
we
should
say
thus much
to thee
from
him:
I
beseech thee
to
forget
the
wickedness
of thy
brethren,
and
the
sin
and malice
they practiced
against thee:
we
also
pray thee,
to
forgive
the
servants
of
the
God
of thy
father
this
wickedness.
And
when
Joseph
heard
this,
he
wept.
\VS{18}And
his
brethren
came
to
him:
and worshipping prostrate
on
the ground
they
said: We
are thy
servants.
\VS{19}And
he
answered
them:
Fear
not: can
we resist
the
will
of
God?
\VS{20}You
thought
evil
against
me:
but
God turned
it
into
good,
that
he
might exalt
me,
as
at
present
you see,
and
might save
many
people.
\VS{21}Fear
not:
I
will feed
you
and
your
children.
And
he
comforted
them,
and
spoke gently
and mildly.
\VS{22}And
he
dwelt
in
Egypt
with all
his
father’s
house:
and
lived
a
hundred
and
ten
years.
And
he saw
the children
of Ephraim
to
the third generation.
The children also
of Machir
the son
of Manasses
were born
on
Joseph’s knees.
\VS{23}After which
he told
his brethren: God
will
visit
you
after
my death,
and
will
make
you go
up
out
of this land,
to
the land which
he swore
to Abraham, Isaac,
and Jacob.
\VS{24}And
he
made
them
swear
to
him,
saying:
God
will
visit
you,
carry
my bones
with
you
out
of
this
place:
\VS{25}And
he died
being
a hundred
and ten years
old.
And
being embalmed
he
was laid
in
a coffin
in Egypt.
