{\MT The First Book of Moses, called Genesis

\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}In the
beginning
God
created the
heaven
and the
earth.
\VS{2}And the
earth
was without
form, and
void; and
darkness
{\ADD{was}} upon the
face of the
deep. And the
Spirit of
God
moved
upon the
face of the
waters.
\par }{\PP \VS{3}And
God
said, Let there
be
light: and there was
light.
\VS{4}And
God
saw the
light,
that
{\ADD{it was}}
good: and
God
divided the
light
from the
darkness.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 1:4 }
the light from…: Heb. between the light and between the darkness}
\VS{5}And
God
called the
light
Day, and the
darkness he
called
Night. And the
evening and the
morning were the
first
day.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 1:5 }
And the evening…: Heb. And the evening was, and the morning was etc.}
\par }{\PP \VS{6}¶ And
God
said, Let there be a
firmament in the
midst of the
waters, and let it
divide the
waters from the
waters.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 1:6 }
firmament: Heb. expansion}
\VS{7}And
God
made the
firmament, and
divided the
waters
which
{\ADD{were}}
under the
firmament from the
waters
which
{\ADD{were}}
above the
firmament: and it was
so.
\VS{8}And
God
called the
firmament
Heaven. And the
evening and the
morning were the
second
day.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 1:8 }
And the evening…: Heb. And the evening was, and the morning was etc.}
\par }{\PP \VS{9}¶ And
God
said, Let the
waters under the
heaven be gathered
together
unto
one
place, and let the
dry
{\ADD{land}}
appear: and it was so.
\VS{10}And
God
called the
dry
{\ADD{land}}
Earth; and the gathering
together of the
waters
called he
Seas: and
God
saw that
{\ADD{it was}}
good.
\VS{11}And
God
said, Let the
earth bring
forth
grass, the
herb
yielding
seed,
{\ADD{and}} the
fruit
tree
yielding
fruit after his
kind,
whose
seed
{\ADD{is}} in itself, upon the
earth: and it was so.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 1:11 }
grass: Heb. tender grass}
\VS{12}And the
earth brought
forth
grass,
{\ADD{and}}
herb
yielding
seed after his
kind, and the
tree
yielding
fruit, whose
seed
{\ADD{was}} in itself, after his
kind: and
God
saw that
{\ADD{it was}}
good.
\VS{13}And the
evening and the
morning were the
third
day.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 1:13 }
And the evening…: Heb. And the evening was, and the morning was etc.}
\par }{\PP \VS{14}¶ And
God
said, Let there be
lights in the
firmament of the
heaven to
divide the
day from the
night; and let them be for
signs, and for
seasons, and for
days, and
years:\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 1:14 }
the day…: Heb. between the day and between the night}
\VS{15}And let them be for
lights in the
firmament of the
heaven to give
light upon the
earth: and it was so.
\VS{16}And
God
made
two
great
lights; the
greater
light to
rule the
day, and the
lesser
light to
rule the
night:
{\ADD{he made}} the
stars also.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 1:16 }
to rule the day…: Heb. for the rule of the day, etc.}
\VS{17}And
God
set them in the
firmament of the
heaven to give
light upon the
earth,
\VS{18}And to
rule over the
day and over the
night, and to
divide the
light from the
darkness: and
God
saw that
{\ADD{it was}}
good.
\VS{19}And the
evening and the
morning were the
fourth
day.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 1:19 }
And the evening…: Heb. And the evening was, and the morning was etc.}
\par }{\PP \VS{20}And
God
said, Let the
waters bring forth
abundantly the moving
creature that
hath
life, and
fowl
{\ADD{that}} may
fly
above the
earth in the
open
firmament of
heaven.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 1:20 }
moving: or, creeping}\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 1:20 }
life: Heb. soul}\FTNT{§}{{\FR 1:20 }
fowl…: Heb. let fowl fly}\FTNT{*}{{\FR 1:20 }
open…: Heb. face of the firmament of heaven}
\VS{21}And
God
created
great
whales, and every
living
creature that
moveth, which the
waters brought forth
abundantly, after their
kind, and every
winged
fowl after his
kind: and
God
saw that
{\ADD{it was}}
good.
\VS{22}And
God
blessed them,
saying, Be
fruitful, and
multiply, and
fill the
waters in the
seas, and let
fowl
multiply in the
earth.
\VS{23}And the
evening and the
morning were the
fifth
day.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 1:23 }
And the evening…: Heb. And the evening was, and the morning was etc.}
\par }{\PP \VS{24}¶ And
God
said, Let the
earth bring
forth the
living
creature after his
kind,
cattle, and creeping
thing, and
beast of the
earth after his
kind: and it was so.
\VS{25}And
God
made the
beast of the
earth after his
kind, and
cattle after their
kind, and every thing that
creepeth upon the
earth after his
kind: and
God
saw that
{\ADD{it was}}
good.
\par }{\PP \VS{26}¶ And
God
said, Let us
make
man in our
image, after our
likeness: and let them have
dominion over the
fish of the
sea, and over the
fowl of the
air, and over the
cattle, and over all the
earth, and over every creeping
thing that
creepeth upon the
earth.
\VS{27}So
God
created
man in his
{\ADD{own}}
image, in the
image of
God
created he him;
male and
female
created he them.
\VS{28}And
God
blessed them, and
God
said unto them, Be
fruitful, and
multiply, and
replenish the
earth, and subdue
it: and have
dominion over the
fish of the
sea, and over the
fowl of the
air, and over every living
thing that
moveth upon the
earth.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 1:28 }
moveth: Heb. creepeth}
\par }{\PP \VS{29}¶ And
God
said,
Behold, I have
given you every
herb
bearing
seed, which
{\ADD{is}} upon the
face of all the
earth, and every
tree, in the which
{\ADD{is}} the
fruit of a
tree
yielding
seed; to you it shall
be for
meat.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 1:29 }
bearing…: Heb. seeding seed}\FTNT{*}{{\FR 1:29 }
yielding…: Heb. seeding seed}
\VS{30}And to every
beast of the
earth, and to every
fowl of the
air, and to every thing that
creepeth upon the
earth, wherein
{\ADD{there is}}
life,
{\ADD{I have given}} every
green
herb for
meat: and it was so.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 1:30 }
life: Heb. a living soul}
\VS{31}And
God
saw every thing
that he had
made, and, behold,
{\ADD{it was}}
very
good. And the
evening and the
morning were the
sixth
day.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 1:31 }
And the evening…: Heb. And the evening was, and the morning was etc.}

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Thus the
heavens and the
earth were
finished, and all the host 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
made.
\VS{3}And
God
blessed the
seventh
day, and
sanctified it:
because that in it he had
rested from all his
work which
God
created and
made.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 2:3 }
created…: Heb. created to make}
\par }{\PP \VS{4}¶
These
{\ADD{are}} the
generations of the
heavens and of the
earth when they were
created, in the
day that the
{\ND{
LORD}}
God
made the
earth and the
heavens,
\VS{5}And every
plant of the
field
before it was in the
earth, and every
herb of the
field
before it
grew:
for the
{\ND{
LORD}}
God had
not caused it to
rain upon the
earth, and
{\ADD{there was}}
not a
man to
till the
ground.
\VS{6}But there went
up a
mist
from the
earth, and
watered the whole
face of the
ground.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 2:6 }
there…: or, a mist which went up from, etc.}
\VS{7}And the
{\ND{
LORD}}
God
formed
man
{\ADD{of}} the
dust
of the
ground, and
breathed into his
nostrils the
breath of
life; and
man became a
living
soul.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 2:7 }
of the dust…: Heb. dust of the ground}
\par }{\PP \VS{8}¶ And the
{\ND{
LORD}}
God
planted a
garden
eastward in
Eden; and
there he
put the
man
whom he had
formed.
\VS{9}And
out of the
ground
made the
{\ND{
LORD}}
God to
grow every
tree that is
pleasant to the
sight, and
good for
food; the
tree of
life also in the
midst of the
garden, and the
tree of
knowledge of
good and
evil.
\VS{10}And a
river went
out of
Eden to
water the
garden; and from thence it was
parted, and became into
four
heads.
\VS{11}The
name of the
first
{\ADD{is}}
Pison:
that
{\ADD{is}} it which
compasseth the whole
land of
Havilah,
where
{\ADD{there is}}
gold;
\VS{12}And the
gold of
that
land
{\ADD{is}}
good: there
{\ADD{is}}
bdellium and the
onyx
stone.
\VS{13}And the
name of the
second
river
{\ADD{is}}
Gihon: the same
{\ADD{is}} it that
compasseth the whole
land of
Ethiopia.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 2:13 }
Ethiopia: Heb. Cush}
\VS{14}And the
name of the
third
river
{\ADD{is}}
Hiddekel: that
{\ADD{is}} it which goeth
toward the
east of
Assyria. And the
fourth
river
{\ADD{is}}
Euphrates.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 2:14 }
toward…: or, eastward to Assyria}
\VS{15}And the
{\ND{
LORD}}
God
took the
man, and put
him into the
garden of
Eden to
dress it and to
keep it.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 2:15 }
the man: or, Adam}
\par }{\PP \VS{16}And the
{\ND{
LORD}}
God
commanded the
man,
saying, Of every
tree of the
garden thou mayest
freely
eat:\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 2:16 }
thou…: Heb. eating thou shalt eat}
\VS{17}But of the
tree of the
knowledge of
good and
evil, thou shalt not
eat of it: for in the
day that thou
eatest thereof thou shalt
surely
die.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 2:17 }
thou shalt surely…: Heb. dying thou shalt die}
\par }{\PP \VS{18}¶ And the
{\ND{
LORD}}
God
said,
{\ADD{It is}} not
good that the
man should
be alone; I will
make him an help
meet for him.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 2:18 }
meet…: Heb. as before him}
\VS{19}And out of the
ground the
{\ND{
LORD}}
God
formed every
beast of the
field, and every
fowl of the
air; and
brought
{\ADD{them}} unto
Adam to
see what he would
call them: and whatsoever
Adam
called every
living
creature,
that
{\ADD{was}} the name
thereof.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 2:19 }
Adam: or, the man}
\VS{20}And
Adam
gave
names to all
cattle, and to the
fowl of the
air, and to every
beast of the
field; but for
Adam there was not
found an help
meet for him.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 2:20 }
gave: Heb. called}
\par }{\PP \VS{21}And the
{\ND{
LORD}}
God
caused a deep
sleep to
fall upon
Adam, and he
slept: and he
took
one of his
ribs, and closed
up the
flesh instead thereof;
\VS{22}And the
rib, which the
{\ND{
LORD}}
God had
taken from
man,
made he a
woman, and
brought her unto the
man.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 2:22 }
made: Heb. builded}
\VS{23}And
Adam
said,
This
{\ADD{is}}
now
bone of my
bones, and
flesh of my
flesh:
she shall be
called
Woman, because
she was
taken out of
Man.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 2:23 }
Woman: Heb. Isha}\FTNT{†}{{\FR 2:23 }
Man: Heb. Ish}
\VS{24}Therefore shall a
man
leave his
father and his
mother, and shall
cleave unto his
wife: and they shall be
one
flesh.
\VS{25}And they were
both
naked, the
man and his
wife, and were not
ashamed.

\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now the
serpent
was more
subtil than any
beast of the
field which the
{\ND{
LORD}}
God had
made. And he
said unto the
woman,
Yea, hath
God
said, Ye shall not
eat of every
tree of the
garden?\FTNT{*}{{\FR 3:1 }
Yea…: Heb. Yea, because, etc.}
\VS{2}And the
woman
said unto the
serpent, We may
eat of the
fruit of the
trees of the
garden:
\VS{3}But of the
fruit of the
tree which
{\ADD{is}} in the
midst of the
garden,
God hath
said, Ye shall not
eat of it, neither shall ye
touch it,
lest ye
die.
\VS{4}And the
serpent
said unto the
woman, Ye shall not
surely
die:
\VS{5}For
God doth
know that in the
day ye
eat thereof, then your
eyes shall be
opened, and ye shall be as
gods,
knowing
good and
evil.
\par }{\PP \VS{6}And when the
woman
saw that the
tree
{\ADD{was}}
good for
food, and that
it
{\ADD{was}}
pleasant to the
eyes, and a
tree to be
desired to make
{\ADD{one}}
wise, she
took of the fruit
thereof, and did
eat, and
gave
also unto her
husband with her; and he did
eat.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 3:6 }
pleasant: Heb. a desire}
\VS{7}And the
eyes of them
both were
opened, and
they
knew that they
{\ADD{were}}
naked; and they
sewed
fig
leaves
together, and made
themselves
aprons.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 3:7 }
aprons: or, things to gird about}
\VS{8}And they
heard the
voice of the
{\ND{
LORD}}
God
walking in the
garden in the
cool of the
day: and
Adam and his
wife hid
themselves from the
presence of the
{\ND{
LORD}}
God
amongst the
trees of the
garden.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 3:8 }
cool: Heb. wind}
\par }{\PP \VS{9}And the
{\ND{
LORD}}
God
called unto
Adam, and
said unto him, Where
{\ADD{art}}
thou?
\VS{10}And he
said, I
heard thy
voice in the
garden, and I was
afraid, because
I
{\ADD{was}}
naked; and I hid
myself.
\par }{\PP \VS{11}And he
said,
Who
told thee that thou
{\ADD{wast}}
naked? Hast thou
eaten of the
tree, whereof I commanded
thee that thou shouldest
not
eat?
\VS{12}And the
man
said, The
woman whom thou
gavest
{\ADD{to be}} with
me,
she
gave me of the
tree, and I did
eat.
\VS{13}And the
{\ND{
LORD}}
God
said unto the
woman, What
{\ADD{is}} this
{\ADD{that}} thou hast
done? And the
woman
said, The
serpent beguiled
me, and I did
eat.
\par }{\PP \VS{14}And the
{\ND{
LORD}}
God
said unto the
serpent, Because
thou hast
done this, thou
{\ADD{art}}
cursed above all
cattle, and above every
beast of the
field; upon thy
belly shalt thou
go, and
dust shalt thou
eat all the
days of thy
life:
\VS{15}And I will
put
enmity between thee and the
woman, and between thy
seed and her
seed; it shall
bruise thy
head, and thou shalt
bruise his
heel.
\VS{16}Unto the
woman he
said, I will
greatly
multiply thy
sorrow and thy
conception; in
sorrow thou shalt bring
forth
children; and thy
desire
{\ADD{shall be}} to thy
husband, and he shall
rule over thee.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 3:16 }
to thy…: or, subject to thy husband}
\par }{\PP \VS{17}And unto
Adam he
said, Because thou hast
hearkened unto the
voice of thy
wife, and hast
eaten of the
tree, of
which I commanded
thee,
saying, Thou shalt not
eat of it:
cursed
{\ADD{is}} the
ground for thy sake; in
sorrow shalt thou
eat
{\ADD{of}} it
all the
days of thy
life;
\VS{18}Thorns
also and
thistles shall it bring
forth to thee; and thou shalt
eat the
herb of the
field;\FTNT{†}{{\FR 3:18 }
bring…: Heb. cause to bud}
\VS{19}In the
sweat of thy
face shalt thou
eat
bread,
till thou
return unto the
ground; for out of it wast thou
taken: for
dust
thou
{\ADD{art}}, and unto
dust shalt thou
return.
\VS{20}And
Adam
called his
wife’s
name
Eve; because she was the
mother of all
living.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 3:20 }
Eve: Heb. Chavah: that is Living}
\VS{21}Unto
Adam also and to his
wife did the
{\ND{
LORD}}
God
make
coats of
skins, and clothed
them.
\par }{\PP \VS{22}¶ And the
{\ND{
LORD}}
God
said,
Behold, the
man is become as
one of us, to
know
good and
evil: and now, lest he put
forth his
hand, and
take also of the
tree of
life, and
eat, and
live for
ever:
\VS{23}Therefore the
{\ND{
LORD}}
God sent him
forth from the
garden of
Eden, to
till the
ground from whence he was
taken.
\VS{24}So he drove
out the
man; and he
placed at the
east of the
garden of
Eden
Cherubims, and a
flaming
sword which turned every
way, to
keep the
way of the
tree of
life.

\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Adam
knew
Eve his
wife; and she
conceived, and
bare
Cain, and
said, I have
gotten a
man
from the
{\ND{

Cain: that is, Gotten, or, Acquired}
\VS{2}And she
again
bare his
brother
Abel. And
Abel was a
keeper of
sheep, but
Cain was a
tiller of the
ground.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 4:2 }
Abel: Heb. Hebel}\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 4:2 }
a keeper: Heb. a feeder}
\par }{\PP \VS{3}And in
process of
time it came to pass, that
Cain
brought of the
fruit of the
ground an
offering unto the
{\ND{
LORD}}.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 4:3 }
in process…: Heb. at the end of days}
\VS{4}And
Abel,
he also
brought of the
firstlings of his
flock and of the
fat thereof. And the
{\ND{
LORD}} had
respect unto
Abel and to his
offering:\FTNT{*}{{\FR 4:4 }
flock: Heb. sheep, or, goats}
\VS{5}But unto
Cain and to his
offering he had not
respect. And
Cain was
very
wroth, and his
countenance
fell.
\par }{\PP \VS{6}And the
{\ND{
LORD}}
said unto
Cain, Why art thou
wroth? and why is thy
countenance
fallen?
\VS{7}If thou doest
well, shalt thou not be
accepted? and if thou doest not
well,
sin
lieth at the
door. And unto thee

desire, and thou shalt
rule over him.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 4:7 }
be accepted: or, have the excellency}\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 4:7 }

\VS{8}And
Cain
talked
with
Abel his
brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the
field, that
Cain rose
up
against
Abel his
brother, and slew
him.
\par }{\PP \VS{9}¶ And the
{\ND{
LORD}}
said unto
Cain,
Where
{\ADD{is}}
Abel thy
brother? And he
said, I
know not:

brother’s
keeper?
\VS{10}And he
said,
What hast thou
done? the
voice of thy

blood
crieth unto me from the
ground.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 4:10 }
blood: Heb. bloods}
\VS{11}And now

cursed from the
earth, which hath
opened her
mouth to
receive thy

blood from thy
hand;
\VS{12}When thou
tillest the
ground, it shall not
henceforth
yield unto thee her
strength; a
fugitive and a
vagabond shalt thou be in the
earth.
\par }{\PP \VS{13}And
Cain
said unto the
{\ND{

greater than I can
bear.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 4:13 }

hid; and I shall be a
fugitive and a
vagabond in the
earth; and it shall come to
pass,
{\ADD{that}} every one that findeth
me shall slay
me.
\VS{15}And the
{\ND{

said unto him,
Therefore whosoever
slayeth
Cain, vengeance shall be
taken on him
sevenfold. And the
{\ND{
LORD}}
set a
mark upon
Cain,
lest any
finding him should
kill him.
\par }{\PP \VS{16}¶ And
Cain went
out from the
presence of the
{\ND{
LORD}}, and
dwelt in the
land of
Nod, on the
east of
Eden.
\VS{17}And
Cain
knew his
wife; and she
conceived, and
bare
Enoch: and he
builded a
city, and
called the
name of the
city, after the
name of his
son,
Enoch.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 4:17 }
Enoch: Heb. Chanoch}
\VS{18}And unto
Enoch was
born

Methusael
begat
Lamech.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 4:18 }

said,
Look now toward

said unto him,
Take me an
heifer of three years

turtledove, and a young
pigeon.

took unto him all these, and
divided them in the

Abram drove them
away.

serve them; and they shall
afflict them
four

denied,

Yea, I

withheld thee from
sinning against me: therefore
suffered I thee not to

Abimelech rose
early in the

Abimelech
called
Abraham, and
said unto him, What hast thou
done unto us? and what have I
offended thee, that thou hast
brought on me and on my

Abimelech
said unto
Abraham,

\VS{11}And
Abraham
said, Because I
thought,
Surely the
fear of
God
{\ADD{is}} not in this
place; and they will slay
me for my
wife’s
sake.
\VS{12}And yet
indeed
{\ADD{she is}} my
sister; she
{\ADD{is}} the

father, but not the
daughter of my
mother; and she became my
wife.
\VS{13}And it came to pass, when
God caused me to
wander from my

house, that I
said unto her, This
{\ADD{is}} thy
kindness which thou shalt
shew unto me; at every
place whither we shall
come,
say of me, He

took

God
heard the

heard the

said, For

said,
Drink, my

hasted, and let
down her

\VS{19}And when she had
done giving him
drink, she
said, I will
draw
{\ADD{water}} for thy

hasted, and
emptied her

ran again unto the

drew for all his

wondering at her held his
peace, to
wit whether the

made his
journey
prosperous
or not.
\VS{22}And it came to pass, as the
camels had
done
drinking, that the

took a

said moreover unto him, We have

Rebekah had a

Laban
ran
out unto the

\VS{30}And it came to pass, when he
saw the
earring and
bracelets upon his
sister’s
hands, and when he
heard the
words of
Rebekah his
sister,
saying,
Thus
spake the
man unto me; that he
came unto the

stood
by the
camels at the
well.
\VS{31}And he
said, Come
in, thou
blessed of the

standest thou
without? for I have
prepared the
house, and
room for the
camels.
\par }{\PP \VS{32}¶ And the

came into the

ungirded his

gave
straw and

camels, and
water to
wash his

men’s
feet that
{\ADD{were}} with him.

set
{\ADD{meat}} before

eat: but he
said, I will not
eat, until I have
told mine

said, Speak

\VS{34}And he
said, I

Abraham’s

\VS{35}And the
{\ND{

blessed my
master
greatly; and he is become
great: and he hath
given him
flocks, and
herds, and
silver, and
gold, and
menservants, and
maidservants, and
camels, and
asses.
\VS{36}And
Sarah my
master’s
wife
bare a
son to my
master
when she was
old: and unto him hath he
given all that he hath.
\VS{37}And my
master made me
swear,
saying, Thou shalt not
take a
wife to my
son of the
daughters of the
Canaanites, in whose
land I
dwell:
\VS{38}But thou shalt
go unto my
father’s
house, and to my
kindred, and
take a
wife unto my
son.
\VS{39}And I
said unto my
master, Peradventure the
woman will not
follow me.
\VS{40}And he
said unto me, The
{\ND{

before whom I
walk, will
send his
angel with thee, and
prosper thy
way; and thou shalt
take a
wife for my
son of my
kindred, and of my

\VS{41}Then shalt thou be
clear from
{\ADD{this}} my
oath, when thou
comest to my
kindred; and if they
give not thee
{\ADD{one}}, thou shalt be
clear from my
oath.
\VS{42}And I
came this
day unto the
well, and
said, O
{\ND{
LORD}}
God of my
master
Abraham, if now thou
do
prosper my
way which I
go:
\VS{43}Behold, I
stand by the
well of
water; and it shall come to pass, that when the
virgin cometh
forth to
draw
{\ADD{water}}, and I
say to her, Give
me, I pray thee, a
little
water of thy
pitcher to
drink;
\VS{44}And she
say to me, Both
drink thou, and I will also
draw for thy
camels:
{\ADD{let}} the same
{\ADD{be}} the
woman whom the
{\ND{
LORD}} hath appointed
out for my
master’s
son.
\VS{45}And before I had
done
speaking in mine
heart, behold,
Rebekah came
forth with her
pitcher on her
shoulder; and she went
down unto the
well, and
drew
{\ADD{water:}} and I
said unto her, Let me
drink, I pray thee.
\VS{46}And she made
haste, and let
down her
pitcher from her
{\ADD{shoulder}}, and
said,
Drink, and I will
give thy
camels
drink also: so I
drank, and she
made the
camels
drink also.
\VS{47}And I
asked her, and
said, Whose
daughter
{\ADD{art}} thou? And she
said, The
daughter of
Bethuel,
Nahor’s
son, whom
Milcah
bare unto him: and I
put the
earring upon her
face, and the
bracelets upon her
hands.
\VS{48}And I bowed down my
head, and
worshipped the
{\ND{
LORD}}, and
blessed the
{\ND{
LORD}}
God of my
master
Abraham, which had led
me in the
right
way to
take my
master’s
brother’s
daughter unto his
son.
\VS{49}And now if ye
will
deal
kindly and
truly with my
master,
tell me: and if not,
tell me; that I may
turn to the right
hand,
or to the
left.
\VS{50}Then
Laban and
Bethuel
answered and
said, The
thing
proceedeth from the
{\ND{
LORD}}: we
cannot
speak unto thee
bad
or
good.
\VS{51}Behold,
Rebekah
{\ADD{is}} before
thee,
take
{\ADD{her}}, and
go, and let her be thy
master’s
son’s
wife, as the
{\ND{

spoken.
\VS{52}And it came to pass, that, when
Abraham’s
servant
heard their
words, he
worshipped the
{\ND{
LORD}},
{\ADD{bowing himself}} to the
earth.
\VS{53}And the
servant brought
forth
jewels of
silver, and
jewels of
gold, and
raiment, and
gave

gave also to her

up in the

said, Send me
away unto my

\VS{55}And her
brother and her

said, Let the

abide with us

days, at the

ten;
after that she shall
go.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 24:55 }

said unto them, Hinder

prospered my

away that I may
go to my
master.
\VS{57}And they
said, We will
call the
damsel, and
enquire at her
mouth.
\VS{58}And they
called
Rebekah, and
said unto her, Wilt thou
go with this
man? And she
said, I will
go.
\VS{59}And they sent
away
Rebekah their
sister, and her
nurse, and
Abraham’s

blessed

said unto her,

\VS{32}With
whomsoever thou
findest thy

discern thou what

Laban
went into

two
maidservants’

found

out of

changed my

\VS{42}Except the

Gather

took

made an

blessed him there.

\VS{32}Therefore the

eat not

sad.
\VS{7}And he
asked
Pharaoh’s
officers that
{\ADD{were}} with him in the
ward of his
lord’s
house,
saying, Wherefore
look ye
{\ADD{so}}
sadly to
day?\FTNT{*}{{\FR 40:7 }
look…: Heb. are your faces evil?}
\VS{8}And they
said unto him, We have
dreamed a
dream, and
{\ADD{there is}} no
interpreter of it. And
Joseph
said unto them,
{\ADD{Do}} not
interpretations
{\ADD{belong}} to
God? tell
me
{\ADD{them}}, I pray you.
\VS{9}And the
chief
butler
told his
dream to
Joseph, and
said to him, In my
dream, behold, a
vine
{\ADD{was}} before
me;
\VS{10}And in the
vine
{\ADD{were}}
three
branches: and it
{\ADD{was}} as though it
budded,
{\ADD{and}} her
blossoms shot
forth; and the
clusters thereof brought forth
ripe
grapes:
\VS{11}And
Pharaoh’s
cup
{\ADD{was}} in my
hand: and I
took the
grapes, and
pressed them into
Pharaoh’s
cup, and I
gave the
cup into
Pharaoh’s
hand.
\VS{12}And
Joseph
said unto him, This
{\ADD{is}} the
interpretation of it: The
three
branches
{\ADD{are}}
three
days:
\VS{13}Yet within
three
days shall
Pharaoh lift
up thine
head, and
restore thee unto thy
place: and thou shalt
deliver
Pharaoh’s
cup into his
hand, after the
former
manner when thou wast his
butler.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 40:13 }
lift…: or, reckon}
\VS{14}But
think on me when it shall be
well with thee, and
shew
kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make
mention of me unto
Pharaoh, and bring
me out of this
house:\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 40:14 }
think…: Heb. remember me with thee}
\VS{15}For indeed I was stolen
away out of the
land of the
Hebrews: and here also have I
done
nothing that they should
put me into the
dungeon.
\VS{16}When the
chief
baker
saw that the
interpretation was
good, he
said unto
Joseph, I
also
{\ADD{was}} in my
dream, and, behold,
{\ADD{I had}}
three
white
baskets on my
head:\FTNT{§}{{\FR 40:16 }
white: or, full of holes}
\VS{17}And in the
uppermost
basket
{\ADD{there was}} of all
manner of
bakemeats for
Pharaoh; and the
birds did
eat them out of the
basket
upon my
head.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 40:17 }
bakemeats…: Heb. meat of Pharaoh, the work of a baker, or, cook}
\VS{18}And
Joseph
answered and
said, This
{\ADD{is}} the
interpretation thereof: The
three
baskets
{\ADD{are}}
three
days:
\VS{19}Yet within
three
days shall
Pharaoh lift
up thy
head from off thee, and shall
hang thee on a
tree; and the
birds shall
eat thy
flesh from off thee.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 40:19 }
lift…: or, reckon thee, and take thy office from thee}
\par }{\PP \VS{20}¶ And it came to pass the
third
day,
{\ADD{which was}}
Pharaoh’s
birthday, that he
made a
feast unto all his
servants: and he lifted
up the
head of the
chief
butler and of the
chief
baker
among his
servants.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 40:20 }
lifted…: or, reckoned}
\VS{21}And he
restored the

butler unto his
butlership
again; and he
gave the
cup into
Pharaoh’s
hand:
\VS{22}But he
hanged the
chief
baker: as
Joseph had
interpreted to them.
\VS{23}Yet did not the
chief
butler
remember
Joseph, but
forgat him.

\par }\Chap{41}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And it came to pass at the
end of two
full
years, that
Pharaoh
dreamed: and, behold, he
stood by the
river.
\VS{2}And, behold, there came
up out of the
river
seven
well
favoured
kine and
fatfleshed; and they
fed in a
meadow.
\VS{3}And, behold,
seven
other
kine came
up after
them out of the

stood
by the

brink of the

\VS{4}And the
ill

kine did eat
up the
seven
well

Pharaoh
awoke.
\VS{5}And he
slept and
dreamed the second

seven ears of
corn came
up upon
one
stalk,
rank and
good.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 41:5 }
rank: Heb. fat}
\VS{6}And, behold,
seven

up after
them.
\VS{7}And the seven
thin
ears
devoured the
seven
rank and
full

Pharaoh
awoke, and, behold,
{\ADD{it was}} a
dream.
\VS{8}And it came to pass in the
morning that his
spirit was
troubled; and he
sent and
called for all the
magicians of
Egypt, and all the wise
men thereof: and
Pharaoh
told them his
dream; but
{\ADD{there was}} none that could
interpret them unto
Pharaoh.
\par }{\PP \VS{9}¶ Then
spake the
chief
butler unto
Pharaoh,
saying, I do
remember my
faults this
day:
\VS{10}Pharaoh was
wroth with his
servants, and
put me in
ward in the
captain of the
guard’s
house,
{\ADD{both}} me and the
chief
baker:
\VS{11}And we
dreamed a
dream in
one
night, I and he; we
dreamed each
man according to the
interpretation of his
dream.
\VS{12}And
{\ADD{there was}} there with us a young
man, an
Hebrew,
servant to the
captain of the
guard; and we
told him, and he
interpreted to us our
dreams; to each
man according to his
dream he did
interpret.
\VS{13}And it came to pass, as he
interpreted to us, so it was; me he
restored unto mine
office, and him he
hanged.
\par }{\PP \VS{14}¶ Then
Pharaoh
sent and
called
Joseph, and they brought him
hastily out of the
dungeon: and he
shaved
{\ADD{himself}}, and
changed his
raiment, and came
in unto
Pharaoh.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 41:14 }
brought…: Heb. made him run}
\VS{15}And
Pharaoh
said unto
Joseph, I have
dreamed a

{\ADD{there is}} none that can
interpret it: and I have
heard
say of thee,
{\ADD{that}} thou canst
understand a
dream to
interpret it.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 41:15 }
thou…: or, when thou hearest a dream thou canst interpret it}

Joseph
answered
Pharaoh,
saying,
{\ADD{It is}} not in
me:
God shall
give
Pharaoh an
answer of
peace.
\par }{\PP \VS{17}And
Pharaoh
said unto
Joseph, In my
dream, behold, I
stood upon the
bank of the
river:

up out of the

seven
kine,
fatfleshed and
well
favoured; and they
fed in a
meadow:
\VS{19}And, behold,
seven
other
kine came
up after
them,
poor and
very
ill
favoured and
leanfleshed,
such as I
never
saw in all the
land of
Egypt for
badness:
\VS{20}And the
lean and the ill
favoured
kine did eat
up the
first
seven
fat
kine:
\VS{21}And when they had eaten them
up, it could not be
known that they had eaten
them; but they
{\ADD{were}}
still ill
favoured, as at the
beginning. So I
awoke.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 41:21 }
eaten…: Heb. come to the inward parts of them}
\VS{22}And I
saw in my
dream, and, behold,
seven
ears came
up in
one
stalk,
full and
good:
\VS{23}And, behold,
seven
ears,
withered,
thin,

blasted with the east
wind, sprung
up after
them:\FTNT{*}{{\FR 41:23 }
withered: or, small}
\VS{24}And the
thin

devoured the
seven
good

told
{\ADD{this}} unto the
magicians; but
{\ADD{there was}} none that could
declare
{\ADD{it}} to me.
\par }{\PP \VS{25}¶ And
Joseph
said unto
Pharaoh, The
dream of
Pharaoh
{\ADD{is}}
one:
God hath
shewed
Pharaoh what he
{\ADD{is}} about to
do.
\VS{26}The
seven
good
kine
{\ADD{are}}
seven
years; and the
seven
good
ears
{\ADD{are}}
seven
years: the
dream
{\ADD{is}}
one.
\VS{27}And the
seven
thin and ill
favoured
kine that came
up after
them
{\ADD{are}}
seven
years; and the
seven
empty
ears
blasted with the east
wind shall be
seven
years of
famine.
\VS{28}This
{\ADD{is}} the
thing which I have
spoken unto
Pharaoh: What
God
{\ADD{is}} about to
do he
sheweth unto
Pharaoh.
\VS{29}Behold, there
come
seven
years of
great
plenty throughout all the
land of
Egypt:
\VS{30}And there shall
arise after
them
seven
years of
famine; and all the
plenty shall be
forgotten in the
land of
Egypt; and the
famine shall
consume the
land;
\VS{31}And the
plenty shall not be
known in the
land by
reason of that
famine
following; for it
{\ADD{shall be}}
very
grievous.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 41:31 }
grievous: Heb. heavy}
\VS{32}And for that the
dream was
doubled unto
Pharaoh
twice;
{\ADD{it is}} because the
thing
{\ADD{is}}
established
by
God, and
God will
shortly bring it to
pass.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 41:32 }
established…: or, prepared of God}
\par }{\PP \VS{33}Now therefore let
Pharaoh look
out a
man
discreet and
wise, and
set him over the
land of
Egypt.
\VS{34}Let
Pharaoh
do
{\ADD{this}}, and let him
appoint
officers over the
land, and take up the fifth
part of the
land of
Egypt in the
seven
plenteous
years.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 41:34 }
officers: or, overseers}
\VS{35}And let them
gather all the
food of those
good
years that
come, and lay
up
corn under the
hand of
Pharaoh, and let them
keep
food in the
cities.
\VS{36}And that
food shall be for
store to the
land against the
seven
years of
famine, which shall be in the
land of
Egypt; that the
land
perish not through the
famine.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 41:36 }
perish…: Heb. be not cut off}
\par }{\PP \VS{37}¶ And the
thing was
good in the
eyes of
Pharaoh, and in the
eyes of all his
servants.
\VS{38}And
Pharaoh
said unto his
servants, Can we
find
{\ADD{such a one}} as
this
{\ADD{is}}, a
man in
whom the
Spirit of
God
{\ADD{is}}?
\VS{39}And
Pharaoh
said unto
Joseph,
Forasmuch as
God hath
shewed thee all this,
{\ADD{there is}} none so
discreet and
wise as thou
{\ADD{art:}}
\VS{40}Thou shalt
be over my

ruled: only in the
throne will I be
greater than thou.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 41:40 }
be ruled: Heb. be armed, or, kiss}
\VS{41}And
Pharaoh
said unto
Joseph,
See, I have
set thee over all the
land of
Egypt.
\VS{42}And
Pharaoh took
off his
ring from his
hand, and
put it upon
Joseph’s
hand, and
arrayed him in
vestures of fine
linen, and
put a
gold
chain about his
neck;\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 41:42 }
fine…: or, silk}
\VS{43}And he made him to
ride in the
second
chariot which he had; and they
cried before
him, Bow the

made him
{\ADD{ruler}} over all the
land of
Egypt.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 41:43 }
Bow…: or, Tender father: Heb. Abrech}
\VS{44}And
Pharaoh
said unto
Joseph, I
{\ADD{am}}
Pharaoh, and
without thee shall no
man lift
up his
hand or
foot in all the
land of
Egypt.
\VS{45}And
Pharaoh
called
Joseph’s
name
Zaphnath-paaneah; and he
gave him to
wife
Asenath the
daughter of
Poti-pherah
priest of
On. And
Joseph went
out over
{\ADD{all}} the
land of
Egypt.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 41:45 }
Zaphnath-paaneah: which in the Coptic signifies, A revealer of secrets, or, The man to whom secrets are revealed}\FTNT{†}{{\FR 41:45 }
priest: or, prince}
\par }{\PP \VS{46}¶ And
Joseph
{\ADD{was}}
thirty
years
old when he
stood
before
Pharaoh
king of
Egypt. And
Joseph went
out from the
presence of
Pharaoh, and went
throughout all the
land of
Egypt.
\VS{47}And in the
seven
plenteous
years the
earth brought
forth by
handfuls.
\VS{48}And he gathered
up all the
food of the
seven
years, which were in the
land of
Egypt, and laid
up the
food in the
cities: the
food of the
field, which
{\ADD{was}} round
about every
city, laid he
up in the
same.
\VS{49}And
Joseph
gathered
corn as the
sand of the
sea,
very
much, until he
left
numbering; for
{\ADD{it was}}
without
number.
\VS{50}And unto
Joseph were
born
two
sons before the
years of
famine
came, which
Asenath the
daughter of
Poti-pherah
priest of
On
bare unto him.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 41:50 }
priest: or, prince}
\VS{51}And
Joseph
called the
name of the
firstborn
Manasseh: For
God,
{\ADD{said he}}, hath made me
forget all my
toil, and all my
father’s
house.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 41:51 }
Manasseh: that is, Forgetting}
\VS{52}And the
name of the

called he
Ephraim: For
God hath caused me to be
fruitful in the
land of my
affliction.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 41:52 }
Ephraim: that is, Fruitful}
\par }{\PP \VS{53}¶ And the
seven
years of
plenteousness, that was in the
land of
Egypt, were
ended.
\VS{54}And the
seven
years of
dearth
began to
come, according as
Joseph had
said: and the
dearth was in all
lands; but in all the
land of
Egypt there was
bread.
\VS{55}And when all the
land of
Egypt was
famished, the
people
cried to
Pharaoh for
bread: and
Pharaoh
said unto all the
Egyptians,
Go unto
Joseph; what he
saith to you,
do.
\VS{56}And the
famine was over all the
face of the
earth: and
Joseph
opened all the storehouses, and
sold unto the
Egyptians; and the
famine waxed
sore in the
land of
Egypt.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 41:56 }
all the storehouses: Heb. all wherein was}

came into

sore in all

\par }\Chap{42}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now when
Jacob
saw that there
was
corn in
Egypt,
Jacob
said unto his

\VS{2}And he
said, Behold, I have
heard that there
is
corn in
Egypt: get you
down thither, and
buy for us from thence; that we may

Joseph’s
ten

said, Lest

came to
buy

Joseph
{\ADD{was}} the

{\ADD{it was}} that
sold to all the

\VS{8}And

remembered the
dreams which he
dreamed of them, and
said unto them, Ye
{\ADD{are}}
spies; to
see the
nakedness of the
land ye are
come.
\VS{10}And they
said unto him, Nay, my
lord, but to
buy
food are thy

\VS{11}We
{\ADD{are}} all
one

said
one to

anguish of his

answered them,
saying, Spake

brought the

afraid, because they were
brought into

said,
Because of the

in; that he may seek
occasion against us, and
fall upon us, and
take us for

opened our

said,
Peace
{\ADD{be}} to you,
fear not: your

given you
treasure in your

brought
Simeon out unto them.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 43:23 }

came

asked them of

obeisance.
\VS{29}And he lifted
up his

saw his

Benjamin, his

said,
{\ADD{Is}} this your

spake unto me? And he
said,
God be
gracious unto thee, my

\VS{30}And
Joseph made
haste; for his
bowels did
yearn upon his
brother: and he
sought
{\ADD{where}} to
weep; and he
entered into
{\ADD{his}}
chamber, and
wept there.
\VS{31}And he
washed his
face, and went
out, and
refrained himself, and
said, Set
on
bread.
\VS{32}And they set
on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the
Egyptians, which did
eat with him, by themselves: because the
Egyptians
might not
eat
bread with the
Hebrews; for that
{\ADD{is}} an
abomination unto the
Egyptians.
\VS{33}And they
sat before
him, the

birthright, and the
youngest according to his
youth: and the

marvelled
one at

\VS{34}And he
took

spake unto them these

said unto him, Wherefore
saith my

forbid that thy
servants should
do according to this
thing:
\VS{8}Behold, the

found in our

again unto thee out of the

steal out of thy

house
silver or
gold?
\VS{9}With whomsoever of thy

found, both let him
die, and we also will be my
lord’s

\VS{10}And he
said, Now also
{\ADD{let}} it
{\ADD{be}} according unto your
words: he with whom it is
found shall be my
servant; and ye shall be
blameless.
\VS{11}Then they
speedily took
down every

sack to the
ground, and
opened every
man his
sack.
\VS{12}And he
searched,
{\ADD{and}}
began at the
eldest, and
left at the
youngest: and the
cup was
found in
Benjamin’s
sack.

rent their

laded every

returned to the

Judah and his

came to

said unto them, What

divine?\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 44:15 }
divine: or, make trial?}

said, God

burn against thy

\VS{19}My

asked his

saying,
Have ye a

\VS{20}And we
said unto my

dead, and he alone is
left of his

loveth him.

saidst unto thy

down unto me, that I may
set mine

up unto thy

told him the
words of my

said, Go
again,
{\ADD{and}}
buy us a

\VS{26}And we
said, We

down: if our

be with us, then will we go
down: for we
may not
see the
man’s
face,
except our
youngest
brother
{\ADD{be}} with us.
\VS{27}And thy
servant my
father
said unto us, Ye
know that my

bare me
two
{\ADD{sons:}}
\VS{28}And the

out from me, and I
said,
Surely he is torn in
pieces; and I saw
him not

take this also
from
me, and
mischief befall

down my gray

come to thy

{\ADD{be}} not with us; seeing that his

seeth that the

{\ADD{is}} not
{\ADD{with us}}, that he will
die: and thy

unto my

abide instead of the

wept upon his

did unto him.
\VS{16}And they sent a
messenger unto
Joseph,
saying, Thy
father did
command
before he
died,
saying,\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 50:16 }
sent: Heb. charged}
\VS{17}So shall ye
say unto
Joseph,
Forgive, I pray
thee now, the
trespass of thy
brethren, and their
sin; for they
did unto thee
evil: and now, we pray thee,
forgive the
trespass of the
servants of the
God of thy
father. And
Joseph
wept when they
spake unto him.
\VS{18}And his
brethren also
went and fell
down before his
face; and they
said, Behold, we
{\ADD{be}} thy
servants.
\VS{19}And
Joseph
said unto them,
Fear not: for
{\ADD{am}} I in the place of
God?
\VS{20}But as for you, ye
thought
evil against me;
{\ADD{but}}
God meant
it unto
good,
to bring to
pass, as
{\ADD{it is}} this
day, to
save
much
people
alive.
\VS{21}Now therefore
fear ye not: I will
nourish you, and your little
ones. And he
comforted them, and
spake
kindly unto them.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 50:21 }
kindly…: Heb. to their hearts}
\par }{\PP \VS{22}¶ And
Joseph
dwelt in
Egypt, he, and his
father’s
house: and
Joseph
lived an
hundred and
ten
years.
\VS{23}And
Joseph
saw
Ephraim’s
children of the
third
{\ADD{generation:}} the
children also of
Machir the
son of
Manasseh were brought
up upon
Joseph’s
knees.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 50:23 }
brought…: Heb. born}
\VS{24}And
Joseph
said unto his
brethren, I
die: and
God will
surely
visit you, and bring you
out of this
land unto the
land which he
sware to
Abraham, to
Isaac, and to
Jacob.
\VS{25}And
Joseph took an
oath of the
children of
Israel,
saying,
God will
surely
visit you, and ye shall carry
up my
bones from
hence.
\VS{26}So
Joseph
died,
{\ADD{being}} an
hundred and
ten
years
old: and they
embalmed him, and he was
put in a
coffin in
Egypt.
