Genesis 1





1. In the beginning <07225> God <0430> created < 01254> the
heaven

<08064> and the earth <0776>.



2 And the earth <0776> was without <08414> form < 08414>, and
void

<0922>; and darkness <02822> [was] upon the face < 06440> of the
deep

<08415>. And the Spirit <07307> of God <0430> moved <07363> upon
the

face <06440> of the waters <04325>.



3. And God <0430> said <0559>, Let there be light <0216>: and
there

was light <0216>.



4 And God <0430> saw <07200> the light <0216>, that [it was]
good

<02896>: and God <0430> divided <0914> the light <0216> from the

darkness <02822>.



5 And God <0430> called <07121> the light < 0216> Day <03117>,
and

the darkness <02822> he called <07121> Night < 03915>. And the

evening <06153> and the morning <01242> were the first <0259> day

<03117>.



6. And God <0430> said <0559>, Let there be a firmament <07549>
in

the midst <08432> of the waters <04325>, and let it divide <0914>

the waters <04325> from the waters <04325>.



7 And God <0430> made <06213> the firmament < 07549>, and
divided

<0914> the waters <04325> which <0834> [were] under <08478> the

firmament <07549> from the waters <04325> which < 0834> [were]
above

<05921> the firmament <07549>: and it was so < 03651>.



8 And God <0430> called <07121> the firmament < 07549> Heaven

<08064>. And the evening <06153> and the morning < 01242> were the

second <08145> day <03117>.



9. And God <0430> said <0559>, Let the waters < 04325> under
<08478>

the heaven <08064> be gathered <06960> together unto one <0259>

place <04725>, and let the dry <03004> [land] appear <07200>:
and it

was so <03651>.



10 And God <0430> called <07121> the dry < 03004> [land] Earth

<0776>; and the gathering <04723> together of the waters <04325>

called <07121> he Seas <03220>: and God <0430> saw <07200> that
[it

was] good <02896>.



11 And God <0430> said <0559>, Let the earth < 0776> bring
<01876>

forth <01876> grass <01877>, the herb <06212> yielding <02232>
seed

<02233>, [and] the fruit <06529> tree <06086> yielding <06213>
fruit

<06529> after his kind <04327>, whose <0834> seed <02233> [is] in

itself, upon the earth <0776>: and it was so <03651>.



12 And the earth <0776> brought <03318> forth < 03318> grass

<01877>, [and] herb <06212> yielding <02232> seed <02233> after
his

kind <04327>, and the tree <06086> yielding < 06213> fruit
<06529>,

whose <0834> seed <02233> [was] in itself, after his kind
<04327>:

and God <0430> saw <07200> that [it was] good < 02896>.



13 And the evening <06153> and the morning <01242> were the
third

<07992> day <03117>.



14. And God <0430> said <0559>, Let there be lights <03974> in
the

firmament <07549> of the heaven <08064> to divide < 0914> the day

<03117> from the night <03915>; and let them be for signs <0226>,

and for seasons <04150>, and for days <03117>, and years <08141>:



15 And let them be for lights <03974> in the firmament <07549>
of

the heaven <08064> to give light <0216> upon the earth <0776>:
and

it was so <03651>.



16 And God <0430> made <06213> two <08147> great <01419> lights

<03974>; the greater <01419> light <03974> to rule <04475> the
day

<03117>, and the lesser <06996> light <03974> to rule <04475> the

night <03915>: [he made] the stars <03556> also.



17 And God <0430> set <05414> them in the firmament <07549> of
the

heaven <08064> to give light <0216> upon the earth <0776>,



18 And to rule <04910> over the day <03117> and over the night

<03915>, and to divide <0914> the light <0216> from the darkness

<02822>: and God <0430> saw <07200> that [it was] good <02896>.



19 And the evening <06153> and the morning <01242> were the
fourth

<07243> day <03117>.



20. And God <0430> said <0559>, Let the waters < 04325> bring

<08317> forth <08317> abundantly <08317> the moving <08318>
creature

<08318> that hath life <02416>, and fowl <05775> [that] may fly

<05774> above <05921> the earth <0776> in the open <06440>
firmament

<07549> of heaven <08064>.



21 And God <0430> created <01254> great < 01419> whales <08577>,

and every <03605> living <02416> creature < 05315> that moveth

<07430>, which <0834> the waters <04325> brought <08317> forth

<08317> abundantly <08317>, after their kind < 04327>, and every

<03605> winged <03671> fowl <05775> after his kind <04327>: and
God

<0430> saw <07200> that [it was] good <02896>.



22 And God <0430> blessed <01288> them, saying < 0559>, Be
fruitful

<06509>, and multiply <07235>, and fill <04390> the waters
<04325>

in the seas <03220>, and let fowl <05775> multiply <07235> in the

earth <0776>.



23 And the evening <06153> and the morning <01242> were the
fifth

<02549> day <03117>.



24. And God <0430> said <0559>, Let the earth < 0776> bring
<03318>

forth <03318> the living <02416> creature < 05315> after his kind

<04327>, cattle <0929>, and creeping <07431> thing, and beast

<02416> of the earth <0776> after his kind < 04327>: and it was so

<03651>.



25 And God <0430> made <06213> the beast < 02416> of the earth

<0776> after his kind <04327>, and cattle <0929> after their kind

<04327>, and every <03605> thing that creepeth < 07431> upon the

earth <0127> after his kind <04327>: and God < 0430> saw <07200>
that

[it was] good <02896>.



26. And God <0430> said <0559>, Let us make < 06213> man <0120>
in

our image <06754>, after our likeness <01823>: and let them have

dominion <07287> over the fish <01710> of the sea < 03220>, and
over

the fowl <05775> of the air <08064>, and over the cattle <0929>,
and

over all <03605> the earth <0776>, and over every < 03605>
creeping

<07431> thing that creepeth <07430> upon the earth <0776>.



27 So God <0430> created <01254> man <0120> in his [own] image

<06754>, in the image <06754> of God <0430> created <01254> he
him;

male <02145> and female <05347> created <01254> he them.



28 And God <0430> blessed <01288> them, and God < 0430> said
<0559>

unto them, Be fruitful <06509>, and multiply <07235>, and
replenish

<04390> the earth <0776>, and subdue <03533> it: and have
dominion

<07287> over the fish <01710> of the sea <03220> , and over the
fowl

<05775> of the air <08064>, and over every < 03605> living <02416>

thing that moveth <07430> upon the earth <0776>.



29. And God <0430> said <0559>, Behold <02009>, I have given

<05414> you every <03605> herb <06212> bearing <02232> seed
<02233>,

which <0834> [is] upon the face <06440> of all < 03605> the earth

<0776>, and every <03605> tree <06086>, in the which <0834> [is]
the

fruit <06529> of a tree <06086> yielding <02232> seed <02233>; to

you it shall be for meat <0402>.



30 And to every <03605> beast <02416> of the earth <0776>, and
to

every <03605> fowl <05775> of the air <08064>, and to every
<03605>

thing that creepeth <07430> upon the earth <0776>, wherein <0834>

[there is] life <02416>, [I have given] every <03605> green
<03418>

herb <06212> for meat <0402>: and it was so < 03651>.



31. And God <0430> saw <07200> every <03605> thing that he had
made

<06213>, and, behold <02009>, [it was] very < 03966> good <02896>.

And the evening <06153> and the morning <01242> were the sixth

<08345> day <03117>.



Genesis 2



1. Thus the heavens <08064> and the earth <0776> were finished

<03615>, and all <03605> the host <06635> of them.



2 And on the seventh <07637> day <03117> God < 0430> ended
<03615>

his work <04399> which <0834> he had made < 06213>; and he rested

<07673> on the seventh <07637> day <03117> from all <03605> his
work

<04399> which <0834> he had made <06213>.



3 And God <0430> blessed <01288> the seventh < 07637> day
<03117>,

and sanctified <06942> it: because <03588> that in it he had
rested

<07673> from all <03605> his work <04399> which <0834> God <0430>

created <01254> and made <06213>.



4. These <0428> [are] the generations <08435> of the heavens

<08064> and of the earth <0776> when they were created <01254>,
in

the day <03117> that the LORD <03068> God <0430> made <06213> the

earth <0776> and the heavens <08064>,



5 And every <03605> plant <07880> of the field < 07704> before

<02962> it was in the earth <0776>, and every < 03605> herb
<06212>

of the field <07704> before <02962> it grew < 06779>: for the LORD

<03068> God <0430> had not caused it to rain < 04305> upon the
earth

<0776>, and [there was] not a man <0120> to till < 05647> the
ground

<0127>.



6 But there went <05927> up a mist <0108> from the earth
<0776>,

and watered <08248> the whole face <06440> of the ground <0127>.



7 And the LORD <03068> God <0430> formed < 03335> man <0120>
[of]

the dust <06083> of the ground <0127>, and breathed <05301> into
his

nostrils <0639> the breath <05397> of life < 02416>; and man
<0120>

became <01961> a living <02416> soul <05315>.



8. And the LORD <03068> God <0430> planted < 05193> a garden
<01588>

eastward <06924> in Eden <05731>; and there < 08033> he put
<07760>

the man <0120> whom <0834> he had formed <03335> .



9 And out of the ground <0127> made the LORD <03068> God
<0430> to

grow <06779> every <03605> tree <06086> that is pleasant <02530>
to

the sight <04758>, and good <02896> for food < 03978>; the tree

<06086> of life <02416> also in the midst < 08432> of the garden

<01588>, and the tree <06086> of knowledge < 01847> of good
<02896>

and evil <07451>.



10 And a river <05104> went <03318> out of Eden < 05731> to
water

<08248> the garden <01588>; and from thence < 08033> it was parted

<06504>, and became <01961> into four <0702> heads <07218>.



11 The name <08034> of the first <0259> [is] Pison <06376>:
that

[is] it which compasseth <05437> the whole land <0776> of Havilah

<02341>, where [there is] gold <02091>;



12 And the gold <02091> of that land <0776> [is] good <02896>:

there <08033> [is] bdellium <0916> and the onyx < 07718> stone
<068>.



13 And the name <08034> of the second <08145> river <05104>
[is]

Gihon <01521>: the same <01931> [is] it that compasseth <05437>
the

whole land <0776> of Ethiopia <03568>.



14 And the name <08034> of the third <07992> river <05104> [is]

Hiddekel <02313>: that [is] it which goeth <01980> toward the
east

<06926> of Assyria <0804>. And the fourth < 07243> river <05104>
[is]

Euphrates <06578>.



15 And the LORD <03068> God <0430> took < 03947> the man <0120>,

and put <03240> him into the garden <01588> of Eden <05731> to
dress

<05647> it and to keep <08104> it.



16. And the LORD <03068> God <0430> commanded < 06680> the man

<0120>, saying <0559>, Of every <03605> tree <06086> of the
garden

<01588> thou mayest freely eat <0398>:



17 But of the tree <06086> of the knowledge <01847> of good

<02896> and evil <07451>, thou shalt not eat < 0398> of it: for in

the day <03117> that thou eatest <0398> thereof thou shalt surely

die <04191>.



18. And the LORD <03068> God <0430> said <0559> , [It is] not
good

<02896> that the man <0120> should be alone < 0905>; I will make

<06213> him an help <05828> meet <05828> for him.



19 And out of the ground <0127> the LORD <03068> God <0430>
formed

<03335> every <03605> beast <02416> of the field <07704>, and
every

<03605> fowl <05775> of the air <08064>; and brought <0935>
[them]

unto Adam <0120> to see <07200> what <04100> he would call
<07121>

them: and whatsoever Adam <0120> called <07121> every living
<02416>

creature <05315>, that [was] the name <08034> thereof.



20 And Adam <0120> gave <07121> names <08034> to all <03605>

cattle <0929>, and to the fowl <05775> of the air < 08064>, and to

every <03605> beast <02416> of the field <07704> ; but for Adam

<0120> there was not found <04672> an help < 05828> meet <05828>
for

him.



21. And the LORD <03068> God <0430> caused a deep <08639> sleep

<03462> to fall <05307> upon Adam <0121>, and he slept <03462>:
and

he took <03947> one <0259> of his ribs <06763>, and closed
<05462>

up the flesh <01320> instead <08478> thereof;



22 And the rib <06763>, which <0834> the LORD < 03068> God
<0430>

had taken <03947> from man <0120>, made <01129> he a woman
<0802>,

and brought <0935> her unto the man <0120>.



23 And Adam <0120> said <0559>, This <02063> [is] now <06471>
bone

<06106> of my bones <06106>, and flesh <01320> of my flesh
<01320>:

she shall be called <07121> Woman <0802>, because < 03588> she was

taken <03947> out of Man <0376>.



24 Therefore shall a man <0376> leave <05800> his father <01>
and

his mother <0517>, and shall cleave <01692> unto his wife <0802>:

and they shall be one <0259> flesh <01320>.



25 And they were both <08147> naked <06174>, the man <0120> and

his wife <0802>, and were not ashamed <0954>.



Genesis 3



1. Now the serpent <05175> was more subtil <06175> than any
<03605>

beast <02416> of the field <07704> which <0834> the LORD <03068>
God

<0430> had made <06213>. And he said <0559> unto the woman
<0802>,

Yea, hath God <0430> said <0559>, Ye shall not eat <0398> of
every

<03605> tree <06086> of the garden <01588>?



2 And the woman <0802> said <0559> unto the serpent <05175>, We

may eat <0398> of the fruit <06529> of the trees < 06086> of the

garden <01588>:



3 But of the fruit <06529> of the tree <06086> which <0834>
[is]

in the midst <08432> of the garden <01588>, God < 0430> hath said

<0559>, Ye shall not eat <0398> of it, neither shall ye touch

<05060> it, lest <06435> ye die <04191>.



4 And the serpent <05175> said <0559> unto the woman <0802>, Ye

shall not surely die <04191>:



5 For God <0430> doth know <03045> that in the day <03117> ye
eat

<0398> thereof, then your eyes <05869> shall be opened <06491>,
and

ye shall be as gods <0430>, knowing <03045> good < 02896> and evil

<07451>.



6. And when the woman <0802> saw <07200> that the tree <06086>

[was] good <02896> for food <03978>, and that it [was] pleasant

<08378> to the eyes <05869>, and a tree <06086> to be desired

<02530> to make [one] wise <07919>, she took < 03947> of the fruit

<06529> thereof, and did eat <0398>, and gave < 05414> also
<01571>

unto her husband <0376> with her; and he did eat < 0398>.



7 And the eyes <05869> of them both <08147> were opened
<06491>,

and they knew <03045> that they [were] naked <05903>; and they
sewed

<08609> fig <08384> leaves <02529> together, and made <06213>

themselves <01992> aprons <02290>.



8 And they heard <08085> the voice <06963> of the LORD <03068>
God

<0430> walking <01980> in the garden <01588> in the cool <07307>
of

the day <03117>: and Adam <0120> and his wife < 0802> hid <02244>

themselves from the presence <06440> of the LORD < 03068> God
<0430>

amongst <08432> the trees <06086> of the garden < 01588>.



9. And the LORD <03068> God <0430> called < 07121> unto Adam
<0120>,

and said <0559> unto him, Where <0335> [art] thou?



10 And he said <0559>, I heard <08085> thy voice <06963> in the

garden <01588>, and I was afraid <03372>, because < 03588> I [was]

naked <05903>; and I hid <02244> myself.



11. And he said <0559>, Who <04310> told < 05046> thee that thou

[wast] naked <05903>? Hast thou eaten <0398> of the tree <06086>,

whereof <0834> I commanded <06680> thee that thou shouldest not
eat

<0398>?



12 And the man <0120> said <0559>, The woman < 0802> whom <0834>

thou gavest <05414> [to be] with me, she gave <05414> me of the
tree

<06086>, and I did eat <0398>.



13 And the LORD <03068> God <0430> said <0559> unto the woman

<0802>, What <04100> [is] this <02063> [that] thou hast done

<06213>? And the woman <0802> said <0559>, The serpent <05175>

beguiled <05377> me, and I did eat <0398>.



14. And the LORD <03068> God <0430> said <0559> unto the serpent

<05175>, Because <03588> thou hast done <06213> this <02063>,
thou

[art] cursed <0779> above all <03605> cattle < 0929>, and above
every

<03605> beast <02416> of the field <07704>; upon thy belly
<01512>

shalt thou go <03212>, and dust <06083> shalt thou eat <0398> all

<03605> the days <03117> of thy life <02416>:



15 And I will put <07896> enmity <0342> between < 0996> thee and

the woman <0802>, and between <0996> thy seed < 02233> and her
seed

<02233>; it shall bruise <07779> thy head < 07218>, and thou shalt

bruise <07779> his heel <06119>.



16. Unto the woman <0802> he said <0559>, I will greatly
multiply

<07235> thy sorrow <06093> and thy conception < 02032>; in sorrow

<06089> thou shalt bring <03205> forth <03205> children <01121>;
and

thy desire <08669> [shall be] to thy husband <0376>, and he shall

rule <04910> over thee.



17. And unto Adam <0121> he said <0559>, Because < 03588> thou
hast

hearkened <08085> unto the voice <06963> of thy wife <0802>, and

hast eaten <0398> of the tree <06086>, of which < 0834> I
commanded

<06680> thee, saying <0559>, Thou shalt not eat < 0398> of it:
cursed

<0779> [is] the ground <0127> for thy sake < 05668>; in sorrow

<06093> shalt thou eat <0398> [of] it all < 03605> the days
<03117>

of thy life <02416>;



18 Thorns <06975> also and thistles <01863> shall it bring
<06779>

forth <06779> to thee; and thou shalt eat <0398> the herb
<06212> of

the field <07704>;



19 In the sweat <02188> of thy face <0639> shalt thou eat
<0398>

bread <03899>, till <05704> thou return <07725> unto the ground

<0127>; for out of it wast thou taken <03947>: for dust <06083>
thou

[art], and unto dust <06083> shalt thou return <07725> .



20. And Adam <0120> called <07121> his wife's < 0802> name
<08034>

Eve <02332>; because <03588> she was the mother < 0517> of all

<03605> living <02416>.



21. Unto Adam <0120> also and to his wife <0802> did the LORD

<03068> God <0430> make <06213> coats < 03801> of skins <05785>,
and

clothed <03847> them.



22. And the LORD <03068> God <0430> said <0559> , Behold <02005>,

the man <0120> is become <01961> as one <0259> of us, to know

<03045> good <02896> and evil <07451>: and now <06258>, lest
<06435>

he put <07971> forth <07971> his hand <03027>, and take <03947>
also

<01571> of the tree <06086> of life <02416>, and eat <0398>, and

live <02425> for ever <05769>:



23 Therefore the LORD <03068> God <0430> sent < 07971> him forth

from the garden <01588> of Eden <05731>, to till < 05647> the
ground

<0127> from whence he was taken <03947>.



24 So he drove <01644> out the man <0120>; and he placed
<07931>

at the east <06924> of the garden <01588> of Eden < 05731>
Cherubims

<03742>, and a flaming <03858> sword <02719> which turned <02015>

every way, to keep <08104> the way of the tree <06086> of life

<02416>.



Genesis 4



1. And Adam <0120> knew <03045> Eve <02332> his wife <0802>; and

she conceived <02030>, and bare <03205> Cain < 07014>, and said

<0559>, I have <01961> gotten <07069> a man < 0376> from the LORD

<03068>.



2 And she again <03254> bare <03205> his brother <0251> Abel

<01893>. And Abel <01893> was a keeper <07462> of sheep <06629>,
but

Cain <07014> was a tiller <05647> of the ground < 0127>.



3. And in process <07093> of time <03117> it came <01961> to
pass,

that Cain <07014> brought <0935> of the fruit < 06529> of the
ground

<0127> an offering <04503> unto the LORD <03068> .



4 And Abel <01893>, he also <01571> brought < 0935> of the

firstlings <01062> of his flock <06629> and of the fat <02459>

thereof. And the LORD <03068> had respect <08159> unto Abel
<01893>

and to his offering <04503>:



5 But unto Cain <07014> and to his offering <04503> he had not

respect <08159>. And Cain <07014> was very < 03966> wroth <02734>,

and his countenance <06440> fell <05307>.



6. And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Cain < 07014>, Why
<04100>

art thou wroth <02734>? and why <04100> is thy countenance
<06440>

fallen <05307>?



7 If <0518> thou doest well <03190>, shalt thou not be accepted

<07613>? and if <0518> thou doest not well < 03190>, sin <02403>

lieth <07257> at the door <06607>. And unto thee [shall be] his

desire <08669>, and thou shalt rule <04910> over him.



8. And Cain <07014> talked <0559> with Abel < 01893> his brother

<0251>: and it came <01961> to pass, when they were in the field

<07704>, that Cain <07014> rose <06965> up against <0413> Abel

<01893> his brother <0251>, and slew <02026> him.



9. And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Cain < 07014>, Where
<0335>

[is] Abel <01893> thy brother <0251>? And he said < 0559>, I know

<03045> not: [Am] I my brother's <0251> keeper < 08104>?



10 And he said <0559>, What <04100> hast thou done <06213>? the

voice <06963> of thy brother's <0251> blood < 01818> crieth
<06817>

unto me from the ground <0127>.



11 And now <06258> [art] thou cursed <0779> from the earth
<0127>,

which <0834> hath opened <06475> her mouth < 06310> to receive

<03947> thy brother's <0251> blood <01818> from thy hand <03027>;



12 When <03588> thou tillest <05647> the ground < 0127>, it
shall

not henceforth <03254> yield <05414> unto thee her strength
<03581>;

a fugitive <05128> and a vagabond <05110> shalt thou be in the
earth

<0776>.



13. And Cain <07014> said <0559> unto the LORD < 03068>, My

punishment <05771> [is] greater <01419> than I can bear <05375>.



14 Behold <02005>, thou hast driven <01644> me out this day

<03117> from the face <06440> of the earth < 0127>; and from thy
face

<06440> shall I be hid <05641>; and I shall be a fugitive <05128>

and a vagabond <05110> in the earth <0776>; and it shall come

<01961> to pass, [that] every <03605> one that findeth <04672> me

shall slay <02026> me.



15 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto him, Therefore <03767>

whosoever <03605> slayeth <02026> Cain <07014>, vengeance <05358>

shall be taken on him sevenfold <07659>. And the LORD < 03068> set

<07760> a mark <0226> upon Cain <07014>, lest <01115> any <03605>

finding <04672> him should kill <05221> him.



16. And Cain <07014> went <03318> out from the presence <06440>
of

the LORD <03068>, and dwelt <03427> in the land < 0776> of Nod

<05113>, on the east <06926> of Eden <05731>.



17 And Cain <07014> knew <03045> his wife < 0802>; and she

conceived <02030>, and bare <03205> Enoch < 02585>: and he builded

<01129> a city <05892>, and called <07121> the name <08034> of
the

city <05892>, after the name <08034> of his son < 01121>, Enoch

<02585>.



18 And unto Enoch <02585> was born <03205> Irad < 05897>: and
Irad

<05897> begat <03205> Mehujael <04232>: and Mehujael <04232>
begat

<03205> Methusael <04967>: and Methusael <04967> begat <03205>

Lamech <03929>.



19. And Lamech <03929> took <03947> unto him two < 08147> wives

<0802>: the name <08034> of the one <0259> [was] Adah <05711>,
and

the name <08034> of the other <08145> Zillah < 06741>.



20 And Adah <05711> bare <03205> Jabal <02989> : he was the
father

<01> of such as dwell <03427> in tents <0168>, and [of such as
have]

cattle <04735>.



21 And his brother's <0251> name <08034> [was] Jubal <03106>:
he

was the father <01> of all <03605> such as handle < 08610> the
harp

<03658> and organ <05748>.



22 And Zillah <06741>, she also <01571> bare < 03205> Tubalcain

<08423>, an instructer <03913> of every <03605> artificer
<02794> in

brass <05178> and iron <01270>: and the sister < 0269> of
Tubalcain

<08423> [was] Naamah <05279>.



23. And Lamech <03929> said <0559> unto his wives <0802>, Adah

<05711> and Zillah <06741>, Hear <08085> my voice <06963>; ye
wives

<0802> of Lamech <03929>, hearken <0238> unto my speech <0565>:
for

I have slain <02026> a man <0376> to my wounding < 06482>, and a

young <03206> man to my hurt <02250>.



24 If <03588> Cain <07014> shall be avenged < 05358> sevenfold

<07659>, truly <0571> Lamech <03929> seventy <07657> and
sevenfold

<07659>.



25. And Adam <0120> knew <03045> his wife < 0802> again <05750>;
and

she bare <03205> a son <01121>, and called < 07121> his name
<08034>

Seth <08352>: For God <0430>, [said she], hath appointed <07896>
me

another <0312> seed <02233> instead <08478> of Abel <01893>, whom

<03588> Cain <07014> slew <02026>.



26 And to Seth <08352>, to him also <01571> there was born
<03205>

a son <01121>; and he called <07121> his name < 08034> Enos
<0583>:

then <0227> began <02490> men <0582> to call <07121> upon the
name

<08034> of the LORD <03068>.

1. This <02088> [is] the book <05612> of the generations
<08435> of

Adam <0120>. In the day <03117> that God <0430> created <01254>
man

<0120>, in the likeness <01823> of God <0430> made <06213> he

<02490> to multiply <07231> on <05921> the face <06440> of the
earth

<0127>, and daughters <01323> were born <03205> unto them,



2 That the sons <01121> of God <0430> saw < 07200> the daughters

<01363> of men <0120> that they [were] fair < 02896>; and they
took

<03947> them wives <0802> of all <03605> which <0834> they chose

<0977>.



3. And the LORD <03068> said <0559>, My spirit < 07307> shall not

always <05769> strive <01777> with man <0120>, for that he also

<07683> [is] flesh <01320>: yet his days <03117> shall be an

sons <01121> of God <0430> came <0935> in unto the daughters
<01363>

of men <0120>, and they bare <03205> [children] to them, the same

<01992> [became] mighty <01368> men <0120> which <0834> [were] of

old <05769>, men <0582> of renown <08034>.



5 And GOD <03068> saw <07200> that the wickedness <07451> of
man

<0120> [was] great <07227> in the earth <0776>, and [that] every

<03605> imagination <03336> of the thoughts < 04284> of his heart

<03820> [was] only <07535> evil <07451> continually.



6. And it repented <05162> the LORD <03068> that he had made

<06213> man <0120> on the earth <0776>, and it grieved <06087>
him

at <0413> his heart <03820>.



7 And the LORD <03068> said <0559>, I will destroy <04229> man

<0120> whom <0834> I have created <01254> from the face <06440>
of

the earth <0127>; both man <0120>, and beast < 0929>, and the

creeping <07431> thing, and the fowls <05775> of the air <08064>;

for it repenteth <05162> me that I have made <06213> them.



8. But Noah <05146> found <04672> grace <02580> in the eyes
<05869>

of the LORD <03068>.



9 These <0428> [are] the generations <08435> of Noah <05146>:
Noah

<05146> was a just <06662> man <0376> [and] perfect <08549> in
his

generations <08435>, [and] Noah <05146> walked < 01980> with God

<0430>.



10 And Noah <05146> begat <03205> three < 07969> sons <01121>,
Shem

<08035>, Ham <02526>, and Japheth <03315>.



11. The earth <0776> also was corrupt <07843> before <06440> God

<0430>, and the earth <0776> was filled <04390> with violence

<02555>.



12 And God <0430> looked <07200> upon the earth < 0776>, and,

behold <02009>, it was corrupt <07843>; for all < 03605> flesh

<01320> had corrupted <07843> his way upon the earth <0776>.



13. And God <0430> said <0559> unto Noah < 05146>, The end
<07093>

of all <03605> flesh <01320> is come <0935> before <06440> me;
for

the earth <0776> is filled <04390> with violence < 02555> through

<06440> them; and, behold <02005>, I will destroy < 07843> them
with

the earth <0776>.



14 Make <06213> thee an ark <08392> of gopher < 01613> wood

<06086>; rooms <07064> shalt thou make <06213> in the ark
<08392>,

and shalt pitch <03724> it within <01004> and without <02351>
with

pitch <03724>.



15 And this <02088> [is the fashion] which <0834> thou shalt
make

<06213> it [of]: The length <0753> of the ark < 08392> [shall be]

three <07969> hundred <03967> cubits <0520>, the breadth <07341>
of

it fifty <02572> cubits <0520>, and the height < 06967> of it
thirty

<07970> cubits <0520>.



16 A window <06672> shalt thou make <06213> to the ark <08392>,

and in a cubit <0520> shalt thou finish <03615> it above <04605>;

and the door <06607> of the ark <08392> shalt thou set <07760> in

the side <06654> thereof; [with] lower <08482>, second <08145>,
and

third <07992> [stories] shalt thou make <06213> it.



17 And, behold <02005>, I, even I, do bring <0935> a flood
<03999>

of waters <04325> upon the earth <0776>, to destroy <07843> all

<03605> flesh <01320>, wherein <0834> [is] the breath <07307> of

life <02416>, from under <08478> heaven <08064>; [and] every
<03605>

thing that [is] in the earth <0776> shall die <01478>.



18 But with thee will I establish <06965> my covenant < 01285>;
and

thou shalt come <0935> into <0413> the ark < 08392>, thou, and thy

sons <01121>, and thy wife <0802>, and thy sons < 01121>' wives

<0802> with thee.



19 And of every <03605> living <02416> thing of all <03605>
flesh

<01320>, two <08147> of every <03605> [sort] shalt thou bring
<0935>

into <0413> the ark <08392>, to keep <08104> [them] alive <02421>

with thee; they shall be male <02145> and female < 05347>.



20 Of fowls <05775> after their kind <04327>, and of cattle
<0929>

after their kind <04327>, of every <03605> creeping <07431>
thing of

the earth <0127> after his kind <04327>, two < 08147> of every

<03605> [sort] shall come <0935> unto thee, to keep <08104>
[them]

alive <02421>.



21 And take <03947> thou unto thee of all <03605> food <03978>

that is eaten <0398>, and thou shalt gather <0622> [it] to thee;
and

it shall be for food <0402> for thee, and for them.



22. Thus did <06213> Noah <05146>; according to all <03605> that

God <0430> commanded <06680> him, so <03651> did <06213> he.



Genesis 7



1. And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Noah < 05146>, Come
<0935>

thou and all <03605> thy house <01004> into < 0413> the ark
<08392>;

for thee have I seen <07200> righteous <06662> before <06440> me
in

this <02088> generation <01755>.



2 Of every <03605> clean <02889> beast <0929> thou shalt take

<03947> to thee by sevens <07651>, the male < 0376> and his female

<0802>: and of beasts <0929> that [are] not clean < 02889> by two

<08147>, the male <0376> and his female <0802>.



3 Of fowls <05775> also <01571> of the air < 08064> by sevens

<07651>, the male <02145> and the female <05347> ; to keep seed

<02233> alive <02421> upon the face <06440> of all <03605> the
earth

<0776>.



4 For yet <05750> seven <07651> days <03117>, and I will cause
it

to rain <04305> upon the earth <0776> forty < 0705> days <03117>
and

forty <0705> nights <03915>; and every <03605> living substance

<03351> that I have made <06213> will I destroy < 04229> from off

<05921> the face <06440> of the earth <0127>.



5. And Noah <05146> did <06213> according unto all <03605> that
the

LORD <03068> commanded <06680> him.



6 And Noah <05146> [was] six <08337> hundred < 03967> years
<08141>

old <01121> when the flood <03999> of waters < 04325> was upon the

earth <0776>.



7 And Noah <05146> went <0935> in, and his sons < 01121>, and
his

wife <0802>, and his sons <01121>' wives <0802> with him, into

<0413> the ark <08392>, because <06440> of the waters <04325> of
the

flood <03999>.



8 Of clean <02889> beasts <0929>, and of beasts < 0929> that
[are]

not clean <02889>, and of fowls <05775>, and of every <03605>
thing

that creepeth <07430> upon the earth <0127>,



9 There went <0935> in two <08147> and two < 08147> unto Noah

<05146> into <0413> the ark <08392>, the male <02145> and the
female

<05347>, as God <0430> had commanded <06680> Noah <05146>.



10 And it came <01961> to pass after seven <07651> days
<03117>,

that the waters <04325> of the flood <03999> were upon the earth

<0776>.



11. In the six <08337> hundredth <03967> year < 08141> of Noah's

<05146> life <02416>, in the second <08145> month <02320>, the

seventeenth <07651> day <03117> of the month < 02320>, the same

<02088> day <03117> were all <03605> the fountains <04599> of the

great <07227> deep <08415> broken <01234> up, and the windows
<0699>

of heaven <08064> were opened <06605>.



12 And the rain <01653> was upon the earth <0776> forty <0705>

days <03117> and forty <0705> nights <03915>.



13. In the selfsame day <03117> entered <0935> Noah <05146>, and

Shem <08035>, and Ham <02526>, and Japheth < 03315>, the sons
<01121>

of Noah <05146>, and Noah's <05146> wife <0802>, and the three

<07969> wives <0802> of his sons <01121> with them, into <0413>
the

ark <08392>;



14 They, and every <03605> beast <02416> after his kind
<04327>,

and all <03605> the cattle <0929> after their kind <04327>, and

every <03605> creeping <07431> thing that creepeth <07430> upon
the

earth <0776> after his kind <04327>, and every < 03605> fowl
<05775>

after his kind <04327>, every <03605> bird < 06833> of every
<03605>

sort <03671>.



15 And they went <0935> in unto Noah <05146> into <0413> the
ark

<08392>, two <08147> and two <08147> of all < 03605> flesh
<01320>,

wherein <0834> [is] the breath <07307> of life < 02416>.



16 And they that went <0935> in, went <0935> in male <02145>
and

female <05347> of all <03605> flesh <01320>, as God <0430> had

commanded <06680> him: and the LORD <03068> shut < 05462> him in.



17. And the flood <03999> was forty <0705> days < 03117> upon the

earth <0776>; and the waters <04325> increased < 07235>, and bare

<05375> up the ark <08392>, and it was lift < 07311> up above
<05921>

the earth <0776>.



18 And the waters <04325> prevailed <01396>, and were increased

<07235> greatly <03966> upon the earth <0776>; and the ark
<08392>

went <03212> upon the face <06440> of the waters < 04325>.



19 And the waters <04325> prevailed <01396> exceedingly <03966>

upon the earth <0776>; and all <03605> the high < 01364> hills

<02022>, that [were] under <08478> the whole < 03605> heaven
<08064>,

were covered <03680>.



20 Fifteen <06240> cubits <0520> upward < 04605> did the waters

<04325> prevail <01396>; and the mountains < 02022> were covered

<03680>.



21. And all <03605> flesh <01320> died <01478> that moved
<07430>

upon the earth <0776>, both of fowl <05775>, and of cattle
<0929>,

and of beast <02416>, and of every <03605> creeping <08318> thing

that creepeth <08317> upon the earth <0776>, and every <03605>
man

<0120>:



22 All <03605> in whose <0834> nostrils <0639> [was] the breath

<05397> of life <02416>, of all <03605> that [was] in the dry

<02724> [land], died <04191>.



23 And every <03605> living substance <03351> was destroyed

<04229> which <0834> was upon the face <06440> of the ground
<0127>,

both man <0120>, and cattle <0929>, and the creeping <07431>
things,

and the fowl <05775> of the heaven <08064>; and they were
destroyed

<04229> from the earth <0776>: and Noah <05146> only <0389>
remained

<07604> [alive], and they that [were] with him in the ark
<08392>.



24 And the waters <04325> prevailed <01396> upon the earth
<0776>

an hundred <03967> and fifty <02572> days < 03117>.



Genesis 8



1. And God <0430> remembered <02142> Noah < 05146>, and every

<03605> living <02416> thing, and all <03605> the cattle <0929>
that

[was] with him in the ark <08392>: and God <0430> made a wind

<07307> to pass <05674> over <05921> the earth <0776>, and the

waters <04325> asswaged <07918>;



2 The fountains <04599> also of the deep <08415> and the
windows

<0699> of heaven <08064> were stopped <05534>, and the rain
<01653>

from heaven <08064> was restrained <03607>;



3 And the waters <04325> returned <07725> from off <05921> the

earth <0776> continually: and after the end <07097> of the
hundred

<03967> and fifty <02572> days <03117> the waters <04325> were

abated <02637>.



4. And the ark <08392> rested <05117> in the seventh <07637>
month

<02320>, on the seventeenth <07651> day <03117> of the month

<02320>, upon the mountains <02022> of Ararat < 0780>.



5 And the waters <04325> decreased <02637> continually <01980>

until <05704> the tenth <06224> month <02320>: in the tenth
<06224>

[month], on the first <0259> [day <03117>] of the month <02320>,

were the tops <07218> of the mountains <02022> seen <07200>.



6. And it came <01961> to pass at the end <07093> of forty
<0705>

days <03117>, that Noah <05146> opened <06605> the window
<02474> of

the ark <08392> which <0834> he had made <06213> :



7 And he sent <07971> forth a raven <06158>, which went <03318>

forth <03318> to and fro <07725>, until <05704> the waters
<04325>

were dried <03001> up from off <05921> the earth < 0776>.



8 Also he sent <07971> forth a dove <03123> from him, to see

<07200> if the waters <04325> were abated < 07043> from off
<05921>

the face <06440> of the ground <0127>;



9 But the dove <03123> found <04672> no < 03808> rest <04494>
for

the sole <03709> of her foot <07272>, and she returned <07725>
unto

him into <0413> the ark <08392>, for the waters < 04325> [were] on

<05921> the face <06440> of the whole <03605> earth <0776>: then
he

put <07971> forth <07971> his hand <03027>, and took <03947> her,

and pulled <04026> her in unto him into <0413> the ark <08392>.



10 And he stayed <02342> yet other <0312> seven < 07651> days

<03117>; and again <03254> he sent <07971> forth the dove <03123>

out of the ark <08392>;



11 And the dove <03123> came <0935> in to him in the evening

<06153>; and, lo <02009>, in her mouth <06310> [was] an olive

<02132> leaf <05929> pluckt <02965> off: so Noah <05146> knew

<03045> that the waters <04325> were abated < 07043> from off
<05921>

the earth <0776>.



12 And he stayed <03176> yet other <0312> seven < 07651> days

<03117>; and sent <07971> forth the dove <03123> ; which returned

<07725> not again <03254> unto him any <05750> more <05750>.



13. And it came <01961> to pass in the six <08337> hundredth

<03967> and first <07223> year <08141>, in the first <07223>

[month], the first <0259> [day <03117>] of the month <02320>, the

waters <04325> were dried <02717> up from off < 05921> the earth

<0776>: and Noah <05146> removed <05493> the covering <04372> of
the

ark <08392>, and looked <07200>, and, behold < 02009>, the face

<06440> of the ground <0127> was dry <02720>.



14 And in the second <08145> month <02320>, on the seven
<07651>

and twentieth <06242> day <03117> of the month < 02320>, was the

earth <0776> dried <03001>.



15. And God <0430> spake <01696> unto Noah < 05146>, saying
<0559>,



16 Go <03318> forth <03318> of the ark <08392> , thou, and thy
wife

<0802>, and thy sons <01121>, and thy sons < 01121>' wives <0802>

with thee.



17 Bring <03318> forth <03318> with thee every < 03605> living

<02416> thing that [is] with thee, of all <03605> flesh <01320>,

[both] of fowl <05775>, and of cattle <0929>, and of every
<03605>

creeping <07431> thing that creepeth <07430> upon the earth
<0776>;

that they may breed <08317> abundantly <08317> in the earth
<0776>,

and be fruitful <06509>, and multiply <07235> upon the earth
<0776>.



18 And Noah <05146> went <03318> forth <03318> , and his sons

<01121>, and his wife <0802>, and his sons < 01121>' wives <0802>

with him:



19 Every <03605> beast <02416>, every <03605> creeping <07431>

thing, and every <03605> fowl <05775>, [and] whatsoever <03605>

creepeth <07430> upon the earth <0776>, after their kinds
<04940>,

went <03318> forth <03318> out of the ark < 08392>.



20. And Noah <05146> builded <01129> an altar < 04196> unto the
LORD

<03068>; and took <03947> of every <03605> clean <02889> beast

<0929>, and of every <03605> clean <02889> fowl <05775>, and
offered

<05927> burnt <05930> offerings on the altar < 04196>.



21 And the LORD <03068> smelled <07306> a sweet < 05207> savour

<07381>; and the LORD <03068> said <0559> in his heart <03820>, I

will not again <03254> curse <07043> the ground < 0127> any
<05750>

more <05750> for man's <0120> sake <05668>; for the imagination

<03336> of man's <0120> heart <03820> [is] evil <07451> from his

youth <05271>; neither will I again <03254> smite < 05221> any

<05750> more <05750> every <03605> thing living <02416>, as I
have

done <06213>.



22 While <05750> the earth <0776> remaineth < 03117>, seedtime

<02233> and harvest <07105>, and cold <07120> and heat <02527>,
and

summer <07019> and winter <02779>, and day < 03117> and night
<03915>

shall not cease <07673>.



Genesis 9



1. And God <0430> blessed <01288> Noah <05146> and his sons

<01121>, and said <0559> unto them, Be fruitful < 06509>, and

multiply <07235>, and replenish <04390> the earth < 0776>.



2 And the fear <04172> of you and the dread <02844> of you
shall

be upon every <03605> beast <02416> of the earth < 0776>, and upon

every fowl <05775> of the air <08064>, upon all < 03605> that
moveth

<07430> [upon] the earth <0127>, and upon all < 03605> the fishes

<01709> of the sea <03220>; into your hand < 03027> are they

delivered <05414>.



3 Every <03605> moving <07430> thing that liveth <02416> shall
be

meat <0402> for you; even as the green <03418> herb <06212> have
I

given <05414> you all <03605> things.



4 But flesh <01320> with the life <05315> thereof, [which is]
the

blood <01818> thereof, shall ye not eat <0398>.



5 And surely <0389> your blood <01818> of your lives <05315>
will

I require <01875>; at the hand <03027> of every beast <02416>
will I

require <01875> it, and at the hand <03027> of man <0120>; at the

hand <03027> of every man's <0120> brother < 0251> will I require

<01875> the life <05315> of man <0120>.



6 Whoso sheddeth <08210> man's <0120> blood < 01818>, by man
<0120>

shall his blood <01818> be shed <08210>: for in the image
<06754> of

God <0430> made <06213> he man <0120>.



7 And you, be ye fruitful <06509>, and multiply < 07235>; bring

<08317> forth <08317> abundantly <08317> in the earth <0776>, and

multiply <07235> therein.



8. And God <0430> spake <0559> unto Noah < 05146>, and to his
sons

<01121> with him, saying <0559>,



9 And I, behold <02005>, I establish <06965> my covenant
<01285>

with you, and with your seed <02233> after <0310> you;



10 And with every <03605> living <02416> creature <05315> that

[is] with you, of the fowl <05775>, of the cattle < 0929>, and of

every <03605> beast <02416> of the earth <0776> with you; from
all

<03605> that go <03318> out of the ark <08392>, to every <03605>

beast <02416> of the earth <0776>.



11 And I will establish <06965> my covenant <01285> with you;

neither <03808> shall all <03605> flesh <01320> be cut <03772>
off

any <05750> more <05750> by the waters <04325> of a flood
<03999>;

neither <03808> shall there any <05750> more < 05750> be a flood

<03999> to destroy <07843> the earth <0776>.



12. And God <0430> said <0559>, This <02063> [is] the token
<0226>

of the covenant <01285> which <0834> I make < 05414> between
<0996>

me and you and every <03605> living <02416> creature <05315> that

[is] with you, for perpetual <05769> generations < 01755>:



13 I do set <05414> my bow <07198> in the cloud < 06051>, and it

shall be for a token <0226> of a covenant <01285> between <0996>
me

and the earth <0776>.



14 And it shall come <0935> to pass, when I bring < 06049> a
cloud

<06051> over <05921> the earth <0776>, that the bow <07198>
shall be

seen <07200> in the cloud <06051>:



15 And I will remember <02142> my covenant <01285>, which
<0834>

[is] between <0996> me and you and every <03605> living <02416>

creature <05315> of all <03605> flesh <01320>; and the waters

<04325> shall no <03808> more <05750> become <01961> a flood
<03999>

to destroy <07843> all <03605> flesh <01320>.



16 And the bow <07198> shall be in the cloud <06051> ; and I
will

look <07200> upon it, that I may remember <02142> the everlasting

<05769> covenant <01285> between <0996> God < 0430> and every
<03605>

living <02416> creature <05315> of all <03605> flesh <01320> that

[is] upon the earth <0776>.



17 And God <0430> said <0559> unto Noah < 05146>, This [is] the

token <0226> of the covenant <01285>, which < 0834> I have

established <06965> between <0996> me and all < 03605> flesh
<01320>

that [is] upon the earth <0776>.



18. And the sons <01121> of Noah <05146>, that went <03318>
forth

<03318> of the ark <08392>, were Shem <08035>, and Ham <02526>,
and

Japheth <03315>: and Ham <02526> [is] the father < 01> of Canaan

<03667>.



19 These <0428> [are] the three <07969> sons < 01121> of Noah

<05146>: and of them was the whole <03605> earth < 0776>
overspread

<05310>.



20 And Noah <05146> began <02490> [to be] an husbandman, and he

planted <05193> a vineyard <03754>:



21 And he drank <08354> of the wine <03196>, and was drunken

<07943>; and he was uncovered <01540> within < 08432> his tent

<0168>.



22 And Ham <02526>, the father <01> of Canaan < 03667>, saw
<07200>

the nakedness <06172> of his father <01>, and told <05046> his
two

<08147> brethren <0251> without <02351>.



23 And Shem <08035> and Japheth <03315> took < 03947> a garment

<08071>, and laid <07760> [it] upon both <08147> their shoulders

<07926>, and went <03212> backward <0322>, and covered <03680>
the

nakedness <06172> of their father <01>; and their faces <06440>

[were] backward <0322>, and they saw <07200> not their father's
<01>

nakedness <06172>.



24. And Noah <05146> awoke <03364> from his wine < 03196>, and
knew

<03045> what his younger <06996> son <01121> had done <06213>
unto

him.



25 And he said <0559>, Cursed <0779> [be] Canaan <03667>; a

servant <05650> of servants <05650> shall he be unto his brethren

<0251>.



26 And he said <0559>, Blessed <01288> [be] the LORD <03068>
God

<0430> of Shem <08035>; and Canaan <03667> shall be his servant

<05650>.



27 God <0430> shall enlarge <06601> Japheth < 03315>, and he
shall

dwell <07931> in the tents <0168> of Shem < 08035>; and Canaan

<03667> shall be his servant <05650>.



28. And Noah <05146> lived <02421> after <0310> the flood
<03999>

three <07969> hundred <03967> and fifty <02572> years <08141>.



29 And all <03605> the days <03117> of Noah < 05146> were nine

<08672> hundred <03967> and fifty <02572> years <08141>: and he
died

<04191>.



Genesis 10



1. Now these <0428> [are] the generations <08435> of the sons

<01121> of Noah <05146>, Shem <08035>, Ham < 02526>, and Japheth

<03315>: and unto them were sons <01121> born < 03205> after
<0310>

the flood <03999>.



2 The sons <01121> of Japheth <03315>; Gomer < 01586>, and Magog

<04031>, and Madai <04074>, and Javan <03120>, and Tubal <08422>,

and Meshech <04902>, and Tiras <08493>.



3 And the sons <01121> of Gomer <01586>; Ashkenaz <0813>, and

Riphath <07384>, and Togarmah <08425>.



4 And the sons <01121> of Javan <03120>; Elishah <0473>, and

Tarshish <08659>, Kittim <03794>, and Dodanim < 01721>.



5 By these <0428> were the isles <0339> of the Gentiles <01471>

divided <06504> in their lands <0776>; every < 0376> one <0376>
after

his tongue <03956>, after their families <04940>, in their
nations

<01471>.



6. And the sons <01121> of Ham <02526>; Cush < 03568>, and
Mizraim

<04714>, and Phut <06316>, and Canaan <03667>.



7 And the sons <01121> of Cush <03568>; Seba < 05434>, and
Havilah

<02341>, and Sabtah <05454>, and Raamah <07484>, and Sabtecha

<05455>: and the sons <01121> of Raamah <07484>; Sheba <07614>,
and

Dedan <01719>.



8 And Cush <03568> begat <03205> Nimrod < 05248>: he began
<02490>

to be a mighty <01368> one in the earth <0776>.



9 He was a mighty <01368> hunter <06718> before < 06440> the
LORD

<03068>: wherefore it is said <0559>, Even as Nimrod <05248> the

mighty <01368> hunter <06718> before <06440> the LORD <03068>.



10 And the beginning <07225> of his kingdom <04467> was Babel

<0894>, and Erech <0751>, and Accad <0390>, and Calneh <03641>,
in

the land <0776> of Shinar <08152>.



11 Out of that land <0776> went <03318> forth < 03318> Asshur

<0804>, and builded <01129> Nineveh <05210>, and the city <05892>

Rehoboth <07344>, and Calah <03625>,



12 And Resen <07449> between <0996> Nineveh < 05210> and Calah

<03625>: the same <01931> [is] a great <01419> city <05892>.



13 And Mizraim <04714> begat <03205> Ludim < 03866>, and Anamim

<06047>, and Lehabim <03853>, and Naphtuhim < 05320>,



14 And Pathrusim <06625>, and Casluhim <03695>, (out of whom

<0834> came <03318> Philistim <06430>,) and Caphtorim <03732>.



15. And Canaan <03667> begat <03205> Sidon < 06721> his firstborn

<01060>, and Heth <02845>,



16 And the Jebusite <02983>, and the Amorite <0567>, and the

Girgasite <01622>,



17 And the Hivite <02340>, and the Arkite <06208>, and the
Sinite

<05513>,



18 And the Arvadite <0721>, and the Zemarite <06786> , and the

Hamathite <02577>: and afterward <0310> were the families
<04940> of

the Canaanites <03669> spread <06327> abroad < 05310>.



19 And the border <01366> of the Canaanites <03669> was from
Sidon

<06721>, as thou comest <0935> to Gerar <01642>, unto Gaza
<05804>;

as thou goest <0935>, unto Sodom <05467>, and Gomorrah <06017>,
and

Admah <0126>, and Zeboim <06636>, even unto Lasha < 03962>.



20 These <0428> [are] the sons <01121> of Ham < 02526>, after
their

families <04940>, after their tongues <03956>, in their countries

<0776>, [and] in their nations <01471>.



21. Unto Shem <08035> also <01571>, the father < 01> of all
<03605>

the children <01121> of Eber <05677>, the brother < 0251> of
Japheth

<03315> the elder <01419>, even <01571> to him were [children]
born

<03205>.



22 The children <01121> of Shem <08035>; Elam < 05867>, and
Asshur

<0804>, and Arphaxad <0775>, and Lud <03865>, and Aram <0758>.



23 And the children <01121> of Aram <0758>; Uz < 05780>, and Hul

<02343>, and Gether <01666>, and Mash <04851>.



24 And Arphaxad <0775> begat <03205> Salah < 07974>; and Salah

<07974> begat <03205> Eber <05677>.



25 And unto Eber <05677> were born <03205> two < 08147> sons

<01121>: the name <08034> of one <0259> [was] Peleg <06389>; for
in

his days <03117> was the earth <0776> divided < 06385>; and his

brother's <0251> name <08034> [was] Joktan < 03355>.



26 And Joktan <03355> begat <03205> Almodad < 0486>, and Sheleph

<08026>, and Hazarmaveth <02700>, and Jerah < 03392>,



27 And Hadoram <01913>, and Uzal <0187>, and Diklah <01853>,



28 And Obal <05745>, and Abimael <039>, and Sheba <07614>,



29 And Ophir <0211>, and Havilah <02341>, and Jobab <03103>:
all

<03605> these <0428> [were] the sons <01121> of Joktan <03355>.



30 And their dwelling <04186> was from Mesha <04331> , as thou

goest <0935> unto Sephar <05611> a mount <02022> of the east

<06924>.



31 These <0428> [are] the sons <01121> of Shem < 08035>, after

their families <04940>, after their tongues <03956>, in their
lands

<0776>, after their nations <01471>.



32 These <0428> [are] the families <04940> of the sons <01121>
of

Noah <05146>, after their generations <08435>, in their nations

<01471>: and by these <0428> were the nations < 01471> divided

<05504> in the earth <0776> after <0310> the flood <03999>.



Genesis 11



1. And the whole <03605> earth <0776> was of one < 0259> language

<08193>, and of one <0259> speech <01697>.



2 And it came <01961> to pass, as they journeyed < 05265> from
the

east <06924>, that they found <04672> a plain < 01237> in the land

<0776> of Shinar <08152>; and they dwelt <03427> there <08033>.



3 And they said <0559> one <0376> to another < 07453>, Go
<03051>

to, let us make brick <03835>, and burn <08313> them throughly.
And

they had <01961> brick <03843> for stone <068>, and slime <02564>

had <01961> they for morter <02563>.



4 And they said <0559>, Go <03051> to, let us build <01129> us
a

city <05892> and a tower <04026>, whose top < 07218> [may reach]
unto

heaven <08064>; and let us make <06213> us a name < 08034>, lest

<06435> we be scattered <06327> abroad <06527> upon the face
<06440>

of the whole <03605> earth <0776>.



5. And the LORD <03068> came <03381> down < 03381> to see <07200>

the city <05892> and the tower <04026>, which < 0834> the children

<01121> of men <0120> builded <01129>.



6 And the LORD <03068> said <0559>, Behold < 02005>, the people

<05971> [is] one <0259>, and they have all < 03605> one <0259>

language <08193>; and this <02088> they begin < 02490> to do
<06213>:

and now <06258> nothing will be restrained <01219> from them,
which

they have imagined <02161> to do <06213>.



7 Go <03051> to, let us go <03381> down < 03381>, and there
<08033>

confound <01101> their language <08193>, that they may not

understand <08085> one <0376> another's <07453> speech <08193>.



8 So the LORD <03068> scattered <06327> them abroad <06527>
from

thence <08033> upon the face <06440> of all < 03605> the earth

<0776>: and they left <02308> off to build < 01129> the city
<05892>.



9 Therefore is the name <08034> of it called <07121> Babel
<0894>;

because <03588> the LORD <03068> did there < 08033> confound
<01101>

the language <08193> of all <03605> the earth < 0776>: and from

thence <08033> did the LORD <03068> scatter < 06327> them abroad

<06527> upon the face <06440> of all <03605> the earth <0776>.



10. These <0428> [are] the generations <08435> of Shem <08035>:

Shem <08035> [was] an hundred <03967> years < 08141> old <01121>,
and

begat <03205> Arphaxad <0775> two <08147> years <08141> after
<0310>

the flood <03999>:



11 And Shem <08035> lived <02421> after <0310> he begat <03205>

Arphaxad <0775> five <02568> hundred <03967> years <08141>, and

begat <03205> sons <01121> and daughters <01363> .



12 And Arphaxad <0775> lived <02425> five < 02568> and thirty

<07970> years <08141>, and begat <03205> Salah <07974>:



13 And Arphaxad <0775> lived <02421> after < 0310> he begat
<03205>

Salah <07974> four <0702> hundred <03967> and three <07969> years

<08141>, and begat <03205> sons <01121> and daughters <01363>.



14 And Salah <07974> lived <02425> thirty < 07970> years
<08141>,

and begat <03205> Eber <05677>:



15 And Salah <07974> lived <02421> after < 0310> he begat
<03205>

Eber <05677> four <0702> hundred <03967> and three <07969> years

<08141>, and begat <03205> sons <01121> and daughters <01363>.



16 And Eber <05677> lived <02421> four <0702> and thirty
<07970>

years <08141>, and begat <03205> Peleg <06389>:



17 And Eber <05677> lived <02421> after <0310> he begat <03205>

Peleg <06389> four <0702> hundred <03967> and thirty <07970>
years

<08141>, and begat <03205> sons <01121> and daughters <01363>.



18 And Peleg <06389> lived <02421> thirty < 07970> years
<08141>,

and begat <03205> Reu <07466>:



19 And Peleg <06389> lived <02421> after < 0310> he begat
<03205>

Reu <07466> two <08147> hundred <03967> and nine <08672> years

<08141>, and begat <03205> sons <01121> and daughters <01363>.



20 And Reu <07466> lived <02421> two <08147> and thirty <07970>

years <08141>, and begat <03205> Serug <08286>:



21 And Reu <07466> lived <02421> after <0310> he begat <03205>

Serug <08286> two <08147> hundred <03967> and seven <07651> years

<08141>, and begat <03205> sons <01121> and daughters <01363>.



22 And Serug <08286> lived <02421> thirty < 07970> years
<08141>,

and begat <03205> Nahor <05152>:



23 And Serug <08286> lived <02421> after < 0310> he begat
<03205>

Nahor <05152> two <08147> hundred <03967> years <08141>, and
begat

<03205> sons <01121> and daughters <01363>.



24 And Nahor <05152> lived <02421> nine < 08672> and twenty
<06242>

years <08141>, and begat <03205> Terah <08646>:



25 And Nahor <05152> lived <02421> after < 0310> he begat
<03205>

Terah <08646> an hundred <03967> and nineteen years <08141>, and

begat <03205> sons <01121> and daughters <01363> .



26 And Terah <08646> lived <02421> seventy < 07657> years
<08141>,

and begat <03205> Abram <087>, Nahor <05152>, and Haran <02309>.



27. Now these <0428> [are] the generations <08435> of Terah

<08646>: Terah <08646> begat <03205> Abram < 087>, Nahor <05152>,
and

Haran <02309>; and Haran <02309> begat <03205> Lot <03876>.



28 And Haran <02309> died <04191> before his father <01> Terah

<08646> in the land <0776> of his nativity < 04138>, in Ur <0218>
of

the Chaldees <03778>.



29 And Abram <087> and Nahor <05152> took < 03947> them wives

<0802>: the name <08034> of Abram's <087> wife <0802> [was] Sarai

<08297>; and the name <08034> of Nahor's <05152> wife <0802>,
Milcah

<04435>, the daughter <01323> of Haran <02309>, the father <01>
of

Milcah <04435>, and the father <01> of Iscah < 03252>.



30 But Sarai <08297> was barren <06135>; she [had] no <0369>
child

<02056>.



31 And Terah <08646> took <03947> Abram <087> his son <01121>,
and

Lot <03876> the son of Haran <02309> his son's < 01121> son, and

Sarai <08297> his daughter <03618> in law < 03618>, his son
Abram's

<087> wife <0802>; and they went <03318> forth <03318> with them

from Ur <0218> of the Chaldees <03778>, to go < 03212> into <0413>

the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>; and they came < 0935> unto
Haran

<02771>, and dwelt <03427> there <08033>.



32 And the days <03117> of Terah <08646> were two <08147>
hundred

<03967> and five <02568> years <08141>: and Terah <08646> died

<04191> in Haran <02771>.



Genesis 12



1. Now the LORD <03068> had said <0559> unto Abram <087>, Get

<03212> thee out of thy country <0776>, and from thy kindred

<04138>, and from thy father's <01> house < 01004>, unto a land

<0776> that I will shew <07200> thee:



2 And I will make <06213> of thee a great <01419> nation
<01471>,

and I will bless <01288> thee, and make thy name < 08034> great

<01431>; and thou shalt be a blessing <01293>:



3 And I will bless <01288> them that bless <01288> thee, and
curse

<0779> him that curseth <07043> thee: and in thee shall all
<03605>

families <04940> of the earth <0127> be blessed < 01288>.



4. So Abram <087> departed <03212>, as the LORD < 03068> had
spoken

<01696> unto him; and Lot <03876> went <03212> with him: and
Abram

<087> [was] seventy <07657> and five <02568> years <08141> old

<01121> when he departed <03318> out of Haran < 02771>.



5 And Abram <087> took <03947> Sarai <08297> his wife <0802>,
and

Lot <03876> his brother's <0251> son <01121>, and all <03605>
their

substance <07399> that they had gathered <07408>, and the souls

<05315> that they had gotten <06213> in Haran < 02771>; and they
went

<03318> forth <03318> to go <03212> into < 0413> the land <0776>
of

Canaan <03667>; and into <0413> the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>

they came <0935>.



6. And Abram <087> passed <05674> through the land <0776> unto
the

place <04725> of Sichem <07927>, unto the plain < 0436> of Moreh

<04176>. And the Canaanite <03669> [was] then < 0227> in the land

<0776>.



7 And the LORD <03068> appeared <07200> unto Abram <087>, and
said

<0559>, Unto thy seed <02233> will I give < 05414> this <02063>
land

<0776>: and there <08033> builded <01129> he an altar <04196>
unto

the LORD <03068>, who <04310> appeared <07200> unto him.



8 And he removed <06275> from thence <08033> unto a mountain

<02022> on the east <06924> of Bethel <01008>, and pitched
<05186>

his tent <0168>, [having] Bethel <01008> on the west <03220>, and

Hai <05857> on the east <06924>: and there < 08033> he builded

<01129> an altar <04196> unto the LORD <03068>, and called
<07121>

upon the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>.



9 And Abram <087> journeyed <05265>, going < 01980> on still

<05265> toward the south <05045>.



10. And there was a famine <07458> in the land <0776> : and Abram

<087> went <03381> down <03381> into < 0413> Egypt <04714> to
sojourn

<01481> there <08033>; for the famine <07458> [was] grievous
<03515>

in the land <0776>.



11 And it came <01961> to pass, when <0834> he was come <07126>

near <07126> to enter <0935> into <0935> Egypt <04714>, that he
said

<0559> unto Sarai <08297> his wife <0802>, Behold <02009> now

<04994>, I know <03045> that thou [art] a fair < 03303> woman
<0802>

to look <04258> upon:



12 Therefore it shall come <0935> to pass, when < 03588> the

Egyptians <04713> shall see <07200> thee, that they shall say

<0559>, This <02063> [is] his wife <0802>: and they will kill

<02026> me, but they will save <02421> thee alive < 02421>.



13 Say <0559>, I pray <04994> thee, thou [art] my sister
<0269>:

that it may be well <03190> with me for thy sake < 05668>; and my

soul <05315> shall live <02421> because <01558> of thee.



14. And it came <01961> to pass, that, when Abram < 087> was come

<0935> into Egypt <04714>, the Egyptians <04713> beheld <07200>
the

woman <0802> that she [was] very <03966> fair < 03303>.



15 The princes <08269> also of Pharaoh <06547> saw <07200> her,

and commended <01984> her before <0413> Pharaoh < 06547>: and the

woman <0802> was taken <03947> into Pharaoh's < 06547> house
<01004>.



16 And he entreated Abram <087> well <03190> for her sake
<05668>:

and he had <01961> sheep <06629>, and oxen < 01241>, and he asses

<02543>, and menservants <05650>, and maidservants <08198>, and
she

asses <0860>, and camels <01581>.



17 And the LORD <03068> plagued <05060> Pharaoh < 06547> and his

house <01004> with great <01419> plagues <05061> because <01697>
of

Sarai <08297> Abram's <087> wife <0802>.



18 And Pharaoh <06547> called <07121> Abram < 087>, and said

<0559>, What <04100> [is] this <02063> [that] thou hast done
<06213>

unto me? why <04100> didst thou not tell <05046> me that she
[was]

thy wife <0802>?



19 Why <04100> saidst <0559> thou, She [is] my sister <0269>?
so I

might have taken <03947> her to me to wife <0802>: now <06258>

therefore behold <02009> thy wife <0802>, take < 03947> [her],
and go

<03212> thy way.



20 And Pharaoh <06547> commanded <06680> [his] men <0582>

concerning him: and they sent <07971> him away, and his wife
<0802>,

and all <03605> that he had.



Genesis 13



1. And Abram <087> went <05927> up out of Egypt < 04714>, he, and

his wife <0802>, and all <03605> that he had, and Lot <03876>
with

him, into the south <05045>.



2 And Abram <087> [was] very <03966> rich < 03513> in cattle

<04735>, in silver <03701>, and in gold <02091>.



3 And he went <03212> on his journeys <04550> from the south

<05045> even to Bethel <01008>, unto the place < 04725> where
<0834>

his tent <0168> had been <01961> at the beginning < 08462>,
between

<0996> Bethel <01008> and Hai <05857>;



4 Unto the place <04725> of the altar <04196>, which <0834> he
had

made there <08033> at the first <07223>: and there <08033> Abram

<087> called <07121> on the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>.



5. And Lot <03876> also <01571>, which went < 01980> with Abram

<087>, had <01961> flocks <06629>, and herds <01241>, and tents

<0168>.



6 And the land <0776> was not able <05375> to bear <05375>
them,

that they might dwell <03427> together <03162>: for their
substance

<07399> was great <07227>, so that they could < 03201> not dwell

<03427> together <03162>.



7 And there was a strife <07379> between <0996> the herdmen

<07462> of Abram's <087> cattle <04735> and the herdmen <07462>
of

Lot's <03876> cattle <04735>: and the Canaanite < 03669> and the

Perizzite <06522> dwelled <03427> then <0227> in the land <0776>.



8 And Abram <087> said <0559> unto Lot <03876> , Let there be no

<0408> strife <04808>, I pray <04994> thee, between <0996> me and

thee, and between <0996> my herdmen <07462> and thy herdmen
<07462>;

for we [be] brethren <0251>.



9 [Is] not the whole <03605> land <0776> before < 06440> thee?

separate <06504> thyself, I pray <04994> thee, from me: if <0518>

[thou wilt take <03947>] the left <08040> hand < 08041>, then I
will

go to the right <03231>; or if <0518> [thou depart] to the right

<03225> hand <03225>, then I will go to the left < 08041>.



10. And Lot <03876> lifted <05375> up his eyes < 05869>, and
beheld

<07200> all <03605> the plain <03603> of Jordan <03383>, that it

[was] well watered <04945> every <03605> where, before <06440>
the

LORD <03068> destroyed <07843> Sodom <05467> and Gomorrah
<06017>,

[even] as the garden <01588> of the LORD <03068>, like the land

<0776> of Egypt <04714>, as thou comest <0935> unto Zoar <06820>.



11 Then Lot <03876> chose <0977> him all < 03605> the plain
<03603>

of Jordan <03383>; and Lot <03876> journeyed < 05265> east
<06924>:

and they separated <06504> themselves the one <0376> from the
other

<0251>.



12 Abram <087> dwelled <03427> in the land < 0776> of Canaan

<03667>, and Lot <03876> dwelled <03427> in the cities <05892> of

the plain <03603>, and pitched <0167> [his] tent < 0167> toward

<05704> Sodom <05467>.



13 But the men <0582> of Sodom <05467> [were] wicked <07451>
and

sinners <02400> before the LORD <03068> exceedingly <03966>.



14. And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Abram < 087>, after
<0310>

that Lot <03876> was separated <06504> from him, Lift <05375> up
now

thine eyes <05869>, and look <07200> from the place <04725> where

<0834> thou art northward <06828>, and southward < 05045>, and

eastward <06924>, and westward <03220>:



15 For all <03605> the land <0776> which < 0834> thou seest

<07200>, to thee will I give <05414> it, and to thy seed <02233>
for

ever <05769>.



16 And I will make <07760> thy seed <02233> as the dust
<06083> of

the earth <0776>: so <0834> that if <0518> a man <0376> can
<03201>

number <04487> the dust <06083> of the earth < 0776>, [then] shall

thy seed <02233> also <01571> be numbered < 04487>.



17 Arise <06965>, walk <01980> through the land < 0776> in the

length <0753> of it and in the breadth <07341> of it; for I will

give <05414> it unto thee.



18 Then Abram <087> removed <0167> [his] tent < 0167>, and came

<0935> and dwelt <03427> in the plain <0436> of Mamre <04471>,
which

<0834> [is] in Hebron <02275>, and built <01129> there <08033> an

altar <04196> unto the LORD <03068>.



Genesis 14



1. And it came <01961> to pass in the days <03117> of Amraphel

<0569> king <04428> of Shinar <08152>, Arioch <0746> king
<04428> of

Ellasar <0495>, Chedorlaomer <03540> king < 04428> of Elam
<05867>,

and Tidal <08413> king <04428> of nations < 01471>;



2 [That these] made <06213> war <04421> with Bera <01298> king

<04428> of Sodom <05467>, and with Birsha < 01306> king <04428> of

Gomorrah <06017>, Shinab <08134> king <04428> of Admah <0126>,
and

Shemeber <08038> king <04428> of Zeboiim <06636> , and the king

<04428> of Bela <01106>, which <01931> is Zoar <06820>.



3 All <03605> these <0428> were joined <02266> together in the

vale <06010> of Siddim <07708>, which <01931> is the salt <04417>

sea <03220>.



4 Twelve years <08141> they served <05647> Chedorlaomer
<03540>,

and in the thirteenth year <08141> they rebelled < 04775>.



5 And in the fourteenth year <08141> came <0935> Chedorlaomer

<03540>, and the kings <04428> that [were] with him, and smote

<05221> the Rephaims <07497> in Ashteroth < 06255> Karnaim, and
the

Zuzims in Ham <01990>, and the Emims <0368> in Shaveh <07741>

Kiriathaim <07741>,



6 And the Horites <02752> in their mount <02042> Seir <08165>,

unto Elparan <0364>, which <0834> [is] by the wilderness <04057>.



7 And they returned <07725>, and came <0935> to Enmishpat,
which

<0834> [is] Kadesh <06946>, and smote <05221> all <03605> the

country <07704> of the Amalekites <06003>, and also <01571> the

Amorites <0567>, that dwelt <03427> in Hazezontamar <02688>.



8 And there went <03318> out the king <04428> of Sodom <05467>,

and the king <04428> of Gomorrah <06017>, and the king <04428> of

Admah <0126>, and the king <04428> of Zeboiim < 06636>, and the
king

<04428> of Bela <01106> (the same <01931> [is] Zoar <06820>;) and

they joined <06186> battle <04421> with them in the vale <06010>
of

Siddim <07708>;



9 With Chedorlaomer <03540> the king <04428> of Elam <05867>,
and

with Tidal <08413> king <04428> of nations < 01471>, and Amraphel

<0569> king <04428> of Shinar <08152>, and Arioch <0746> king

<04428> of Ellasar <0495>; four <0702> kings <04428> with five

<02568>.



10 And the vale <06010> of Siddim <07708> [was full of]
slimepits

<02564>; and the kings <04428> of Sodom <05467> and Gomorrah
<06017>

fled <05127>, and fell <05307> there <08033>; and they that
remained

<07604> fled <05127> to the mountain <02022>.



11 And they took <03947> all <03605> the goods < 07399> of Sodom

<05467> and Gomorrah <06017>, and all <03605> their victuals
<0400>,

and went <03212> their way <03212>.



12 And they took <03947> Lot <03876>, Abram's < 087> brother's

<0251> son <01121>, who <01931> dwelt < 03427> in Sodom <05467>,
and

his goods <07399>, and departed <03212>.



13. And there came <0935> one that had escaped < 06412>, and told

<05046> Abram <087> the Hebrew <05680>; for he dwelt <07931> in
the

plain <0436> of Mamre <04471> the Amorite <0567> , brother <0251>
of

Eshcol <0812>, and brother <0251> of Aner < 06063>: and these
<01992>

[were] confederate with Abram <087>.



14 And when <03588> Abram <087> heard <08085> that his brother

<0251> was taken captive <07617>, he armed < 07324> his trained

<02593> [servants], born <03211> in his own < 0249> house <01004>,

three <07969> hundred <03967> and eighteen, and pursued <07291>

[them] unto Dan <01835>.



15 And he divided <02505> himself against <05921> them, he and
his

servants <05650>, by night <03915>, and smote < 05221> them, and

pursued <07291> them unto Hobah <02327>, which < 0834> [is] on the

left <08040> hand <08040> of Damascus <01834>.



16 And he brought <07725> back <07725> all < 03605> the goods

<07399>, and also <01571> brought <07725> again <07725> his
brother

<0251> Lot <03876>, and his goods <07399>, and the women <0802>
also

<01571>, and the people <05971>.



17. And the king <04428> of Sodom <05467> went < 03318> out to
meet

<07125> him after <0310> his return <07725> from the slaughter

<05221> of Chedorlaomer <03540>, and of the kings < 04428> that

[were] with him, at <0413> the valley <06010> of Shaveh <07740>,

which <01931> [is] the king's <04428> dale < 06010>.



18 And Melchizedek <04442> king <04428> of Salem <08004>
brought

<03318> forth <03318> bread <03899> and wine <03196>: and he
[was]

the priest <03548> of the most <05945> high < 05945> God <0410>.



19 And he blessed <01288> him, and said <0559>, Blessed <01288>

[be] Abram <087> of the most <05945> high < 05945> God <0410>,

possessor <07069> of heaven <08064> and earth < 0776>:



20 And blessed <01288> be the most <05945> high < 05945> God

<0410>, which <0834> hath delivered <04042> thine enemies <06862>

into thy hand <03027>. And he gave <05414> him tithes <04643> of
all

<03605>.



21. And the king <04428> of Sodom <05467> said < 0559> unto Abram

<087>, Give <05414> me the persons <05315>, and take <03947> the

goods <07399> to thyself.



22 And Abram <087> said <0559> to the king < 04428> of Sodom

<05467>, I have lift <07311> up mine hand < 03027> unto the LORD

<03068>, the most <05945> high <05945> God < 0410>, the possessor

<07069> of heaven <08064> and earth <0776>,



23 That I will not [take <03947>] from a thread < 02339> even

<05704> to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take < 03947> any

<03605> thing that [is] thine, lest <03808> thou shouldest say

<0559>, I have made <06213> Abram <087> rich <06238>:



24 Save <01107> only that which <0834> the young <05288> men
have

eaten <0398>, and the portion <02506> of the men < 0582> which
<0834>

went <01980> with me, Aner <06063>, Eshcol < 0812>, and Mamre

<04471>; let them take <03947> their portion < 02506>.



Genesis 15



1. After <0310> these <0428> things <01697> the word <01697> of
the

LORD <03068> came <01961> unto Abram <087> in a vision <04236>,

saying <0559>, Fear <03372> not, Abram <087>: I [am] thy shield

<04043>, [and] thy exceeding <03966> great < 07235> reward
<07939>.



2. And Abram <087> said <0559>, Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, what

<04100> wilt thou give <05414> me, seeing I go < 01980> childless

<06185>, and the steward of my house <01004> [is] this <01931>

Eliezer <0461> of Damascus <01834>?



3 And Abram <087> said <0559>, Behold <02005>, to me thou hast

given <05414> no <03808> seed <02233>: and, lo <02009>, one born

<01121> in my house <01004> is mine heir <03423> .



4 And, behold <02009>, the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>
[came]

unto him, saying <0559>, This <02088> shall not be thine heir

<03423>; but he that shall come <03318> forth < 03318> out of
thine

own <0249> bowels <04578> shall be thine heir < 03423>.



5 And he brought <03318> him forth <03318> abroad <02351>, and

said <0559>, Look <05027> now <04994> toward heaven <08064>, and

tell <05608> the stars <03556>, if <0518> thou be able <03201> to

number <05608> them: and he said <0559> unto him, So <03541>
shall

thy seed <02233> be.



6 And he believed <0539> in the LORD <03068>; and he counted

<02803> it to him for righteousness <06666>.



7. And he said <0559> unto him, I [am] the LORD < 03068> that

brought <03318> thee out of Ur <0218> of the Chaldees <03778>, to

give <05414> thee this <02063> land <0776> to inherit <03423> it.



8 And he said <0559>, Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, whereby <04100>

shall I know <03045> that I shall inherit <03423> it?



9 And he said <0559> unto him, Take <03947> me an heifer
<05697>

of three <08027> years <08027> old <08027>, and a she goat
<05795>

of three <08027> years <08027> old <08027>, and a ram <0352> of

three <08027> years <03027> old <08027>, and a turtledove
<08449>,

and a young <01469> pigeon <01469>.



10 And he took <03947> unto him all <03605> these <0428>, and

divided <01334> them in the midst <08432>, and laid <05414> each

<0376> piece <01335> one against <07125> another <07453>: but the

birds <06833> divided <01334> he not.



11 And when the fowls <05861> came <03381> down < 03381> upon
the

carcases <06297>, Abram <087> drove <05380> them away.



12. And when <01961> the sun <08121> was going < 0935> down
<0935>,

a deep <08639> sleep <08639> fell <05307> upon Abram <087>; and,
lo

<02009>, an horror <0367> of great <01419> darkness <02825> fell

<05307> upon him.



13 And he said <0559> unto Abram <087>, Know < 03045> of a
surety

<03045> that thy seed <02233> shall be a stranger < 01616> in a
land

<0776> [that is] not theirs <01992>, and shall serve <05647>
them;

and they shall afflict <06031> them four <0702> hundred <03967>

years <08141>;



14 And also <01571> that nation <01471>, whom < 0834> they shall

serve <05647>, will I judge <01777>: and afterward shall they
come

<03318> out with great <01419> substance <07399> .



15 And thou shalt go <0935> to thy fathers <01> in peace
<07965>;

thou shalt be buried <06912> in a good <02896> old <07872> age

<07872>.



16 But in the fourth <07243> generation <01755> they shall come

<07725> hither <02008> again <07725>: for the iniquity <05771> of

the Amorites <0567> [is] not yet full <08003>.



17. And it came <01961> to pass, that, when <01961> the sun
<08121>

went <0935> down <0935>, and it was dark <05939> , behold <02009>
a

smoking <06227> furnace <08574>, and a burning < 0784> lamp
<03940>

that passed <05674> between <0996> those <0428> pieces <01506>.



18 In the same <01931> day <03117> the LORD < 03068> made
<03772> a

covenant <01285> with Abram <087>, saying <0559> , Unto thy seed

<02233> have I given <05414> this <02063> land <0776>, from the

river <05104> of Egypt <04714> unto the great < 01419> river
<05104>,

the river <05104> Euphrates <06578>:



19 The Kenites <07017>, and the Kenizzites <07074>, and the

Kadmonites <06935>,



20 And the Hittites <02850>, and the Perizzites < 06522>, and
the

Rephaims <07497>,



21 And the Amorites <0567>, and the Canaanites < 03669>, and the

Girgashites <01622>, and the Jebusites <02983>.



Genesis 16



1. Now Sarai <08297> Abram's <087> wife <0802> bare <03205> him
no

<03808> children: and she had an handmaid <08198>, an Egyptian

<04713>, whose name <08034> [was] Hagar <01904>.



2 And Sarai <08297> said <0559> unto Abram < 087>, Behold
<02009>

now <04994>, the LORD <03068> hath restrained < 06113> me from

bearing <03205>: I pray <04994> thee, go <0935> in unto my maid

<08198>; it may <0194> be that I may obtain < 01129> children
<01129>

by her. And Abram <087> hearkened <08085> to the voice <06963> of

Sarai <08297>.



3 And Sarai <08297> Abram's <087> wife <0802> took <03947>
Hagar

<01904> her maid <08198> the Egyptian <04713>, after <07093>
Abram

<087> had dwelt <03427> ten <06235> years < 08141> in the land
<0776>

of Canaan <03667>, and gave <05414> her to her husband <0376>
Abram

<087> to be his wife <0802>.



4. And he went <0935> in unto Hagar <01904>, and she conceived

<02030>: and when she saw <07200> that she had conceived <02030>,

her mistress <01404> was despised <07043> in her eyes <05869>.



5 And Sarai <08297> said <0559> unto Abram < 087>, My wrong
<02555>

[be] upon thee: I have given <05414> my maid <08198> into thy
bosom

<02436>; and when she saw <07200> that she had conceived <02030>,
I

was despised <07043> in her eyes <05869>: the LORD <03068> judge

<08199> between <0996> me and thee.



6 But Abram <087> said <0559> unto Sarai < 08297>, Behold
<02009>,

thy maid <08198> [is] in thy hand <03027>; do < 06213> to her as
it

pleaseth thee. And when Sarai <08297> dealt hardly < 06031> with
her,

she fled <01272> from her face <06440>.



7. And the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> found <04672> her
by a

fountain <05869> of water <04325> in the wilderness <04057>, by
the

fountain <05869> in the way <01870> to Shur < 07793>.



8 And he said <0559>, Hagar <01904>, Sarai's < 08297> maid
<08198>,

whence <0335> camest <0935> thou? and whither < 0575> wilt thou go

<03212>? And she said <0559>, I flee <01272> from the face
<06440>

of my mistress <01404> Sarai <08297>.



9 And the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto
her,

Return <07725> to thy mistress <01404>, and submit <06031>
thyself

under <08478> her hands <03027>.



10. And the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto
her,

I will multiply <07235> thy seed <02233> exceedingly <07235>,
that

it shall not be numbered <05608> for multitude <07230> .



11 And the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto
her,

Behold <02009>, thou [art] with child <02030>, and shalt bear

<03205> a son <01121>, and shalt call <07121> his name <08034>

Ishmael <03458>; because <03588> the LORD < 03068> hath heard
<08085>

thy affliction <06040>.



12 And he will be a wild <06501> man <0120>; his hand <03027>

[will be] against every <03605> man, and every <03605> man's
<0376>

hand <03027> against him; and he shall dwell <07931> in the
presence

<06440> of all <03605> his brethren <0251>.



13 And she called <07121> the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>

that spake <01696> unto her, Thou God <0410> seest <07210> me:
for

she said <0559>, Have I also <01571> here < 01988> looked <07200>

after <0310> him that seeth <07210> me?



14 Wherefore the well <0875> was called <07121> Beerlahairoi

<0883>; behold <02009>, [it is] between <0996> Kadesh <06946> and

Bered <01260>.



15. And Hagar <01904> bare <03205> Abram <087> a son <01121>:
and

Abram <087> called <07121> his son's <01121> name <08034>, which

<0834> Hagar <01904> bare <03205>, Ishmael < 03458>.



16 And Abram <087> [was] fourscore <08084> and six <08337>
years

<08141> old <01121>, when Hagar <01904> bare <03205> Ishmael
<03458>

to Abram <087>.



Genesis 17



1. And when <01961> Abram <087> was ninety < 08673> years <08141>

old <01121> and nine <08672>, the LORD <03068> appeared <07200>
to

Abram <087>, and said <0559> unto him, I [am] the Almighty
<07706>

God <0410>; walk <01980> before <06440> me, and be thou perfect

<08549>.



2 And I will make <05414> my covenant <01285> between <0996> me

and thee, and will multiply <07235> thee exceedingly < 03966>.



3 And Abram <087> fell <05307> on <05921> his face <06440>: and

God <0430> talked <01696> with him, saying < 0559>,



4. As for me, behold <02009>, my covenant <01285> [is] with
thee,

and thou shalt be a father <01> of many <01995> nations <01471>.



5 Neither <03808> shall thy name <08034> any < 05750> more
<05750>

be called <07121> Abram <087>, but thy name < 08034> shall be
Abraham

<085>; for a father <01> of many <01995> nations <01471> have I
made

<05414> thee.



6 And I will make thee exceeding <03966> fruitful < 06509>, and
I

will make <05414> nations <01471> of thee, and kings <04428>
shall

come <03318> out of thee.



7. And I will establish <06965> my covenant <01285> between
<0996>

me and thee and thy seed <02233> after <0310> thee in their

generations <01755> for an everlasting <05769> covenant <01285>,
to

be a God <0430> unto thee, and to thy seed <02233> after <0310>

thee.



8 And I will give <05414> unto thee, and to thy seed < 02233>
after

<0310> thee, the land <0776> wherein thou art a stranger <04033>,

all <03605> the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, for an everlasting

<05769> possession <0272>; and I will be their God <0430>.



9 And God <0430> said <0559> unto Abraham < 085>, Thou shalt
keep

<08104> my covenant <01285> therefore, thou, and thy seed <02233>

after <0310> thee in their generations <01755>.



10 This <02063> [is] my covenant <01285>, which < 0834> ye shall

keep <08104>, between <0996> me and you and thy seed <02233>
after

<0310> thee; Every <03605> man <02145> child among you shall be

circumcised <04135>.



11 And ye shall circumcise <05243> the flesh <01320> of your

foreskin <06190>; and it shall be a token <0226> of the covenant

<01285> betwixt <0996> me and you.



12 And he that is eight <08083> days <03117> old <01121> shall
be

circumcised <04135> among you, every <03605> man < 02145> child in

your generations <01755>, he that is born <03211> in the house

<01004>, or bought <04736> with money <03701> of any <03605>

stranger, which <0834> [is] not of thy seed <02233>.



13 He that is born <03211> in thy house <01004>, and he that is

bought <04736> with thy money <03701>, must needs be circumcised

<04135>: and my covenant <01285> shall be in your flesh <01320>
for

an everlasting <05769> covenant <01285>.



14 And the uncircumcised <06189> man <02145> child whose <0834>

flesh <01320> of his foreskin <06190> is not circumcised <04135>,

that soul <05315> shall be cut <03772> off from his people
<05971>;

he hath broken <06565> my covenant <01285>.



15. And God <0430> said <0559> unto Abraham < 085>, As for Sarai

<08297> thy wife <0802>, thou shalt not call < 07121> her name

<08034> Sarai <08297>, but Sarah <08283> [shall] her name <08034>

[be].



16 And I will bless <01288> her, and give <05414> thee a son

<01121> also <01571> of her: yea, I will bless < 01288> her, and
she

shall be [a mother] of nations <01471>; kings <04428> of people

<05971> shall be of her.



17 Then Abraham <085> fell <05307> upon his face <06440>, and

laughed <06711>, and said <0559> in his heart < 03820>, Shall [a

child] be born <03205> unto him that is an hundred < 03967> years

<08141> old <01121>? and shall Sarah <08283>, that is ninety
<08673>

years <08141> old <01323>, bear <03205>?



18 And Abraham <085> said <0559> unto God < 0430>, O that
Ishmael

<03458> might live <02421> before <06440> thee!



19 And God <0430> said <0559>, Sarah <08283> thy wife <0802>
shall

bear <03205> thee a son <01121> indeed <061>; and thou shalt call

<07121> his name <08034> Isaac <03327>: and I will establish
<06965>

my covenant <01285> with him for an everlasting < 05769> covenant

<01285>, [and] with his seed <02233> after < 0310> him.



20 And as for Ishmael <03458>, I have heard <08085> thee:
Behold

<02009>, I have blessed <01288> him, and will make him fruitful

<06509>, and will multiply <07235> him exceedingly <03966>;
twelve

princes <05387> shall he beget <03205>, and I will make <05414>
him

a great <01419> nation <01471>.



21 But my covenant <01285> will I establish <06965> with Isaac

<03327>, which <0834> Sarah <08283> shall bear <03205> unto thee
at

this <02088> set <04150> time in the next <0312> year <08141>.



22 And he left <03615> off talking <01696> with him, and God

<0430> went <05927> up from Abraham <085>.



23. And Abraham <085> took <03947> Ishmael < 03458> his son
<01121>,

and all <03605> that were born <03211> in his house <01004>, and
all

<03605> that were bought <04736> with his money < 03701>, every

<03605> male <02145> among the men <0582> of Abraham's <085>
house

<01004>; and circumcised <04135> the flesh < 01320> of their
foreskin

<06190> in the selfsame day <03117>, as God < 0430> had said
<01696>

unto him.



24 And Abraham <085> [was] ninety <08673> years < 08141> old

<01121> and nine <08672>, when he was circumcised < 04135> in the

flesh <01320> of his foreskin <06190>.



25 And Ishmael <03458> his son <01121> [was] thirteen years

<08141> old <01121>, when he was circumcised < 04135> in the flesh

<01320> of his foreskin <06190>.



26 In the selfsame day <03117> was Abraham <085> circumcised

<04135>, and Ishmael <03458> his son <01121>.



27 And all <03605> the men <0582> of his house < 01004>, born

<03211> in the house <01004>, and bought <04736> with money
<03701>

of the stranger, were circumcised <04135> with him.



Genesis 18



1. And the LORD <03068> appeared <07200> unto him in the plains

<0436> of Mamre <04471>: and he sat <03427> in the tent <0168>
door

<06607> in the heat <02527> of the day <03117>;



2 And he lift <05375> up his eyes <05869> and looked <07200>,
and,

lo <02009>, three <07969> men <0582> stood < 05324> by him: and
when

he saw <07200> [them], he ran <07323> to meet < 07125> them from
the

tent <0168> door <06607>, and bowed <07812> himself toward the

ground <0776>,



3 And said <0559>, My Lord <0136>, if <0518> now <04994> I have

found <04672> favour <02580> in thy sight < 05869>, pass <05674>
not

away, I pray <04994> thee, from thy servant <05650>:



4 Let a little <04592> water <04325>, I pray < 04994> you, be

fetched <03947>, and wash <07364> your feet < 07272>, and rest

<08172> yourselves under <08478> the tree < 06086>:



5 And I will fetch <03947> a morsel <06595> of bread <03899>,
and

comfort <05582> ye your hearts <03820>; after < 0310> that ye
shall

pass <05674> on: for therefore are ye come <05674> to your
servant

<05650>. And they said <01696>, So <03651> do <06213>, as thou
hast

said <0559>.



6 And Abraham <085> hastened <04116> into the tent <0168> unto

Sarah <08283>, and said <0559>, Make ready < 04116> quickly
<04116>

three <07969> measures <05429> of fine meal, knead <03888> [it],
and

make <06213> cakes <05692> upon the hearth.



7 And Abraham <085> ran <07323> unto the herd < 01241>, and
fetcht

<03947> a calf tender <07390> and good <02896>, and gave <05414>

[it] unto a young <05288> man; and he hasted <04116> to dress

<06213> it.



8 And he took <03947> butter <02529>, and milk < 02461>, and the

calf which <0834> he had dressed <06213>, and set < 05414> [it]

before <06440> them; and he stood <05975> by them under <08478>
the

tree <06086>, and they did eat <0398>.



9. And they said <0559> unto him, Where <0346> [is] Sarah
<08283>

thy wife <0802>? And he said <0559>, Behold < 02009>, in the tent

<0168>.



10 And he said <0559>, I will certainly return < 07725> unto
thee

according to the time <06256> of life <02416>; and, lo <02009>,

Sarah <08283> thy wife <0802> shall have a son < 01121>. And Sarah

<08283> heard <08085> [it] in the tent <0168> door <06607>, which

<01931> [was] behind <0310> him.



11 Now Abraham <085> and Sarah <08283> [were] old <02205> [and]

well stricken <0935> in age <03117>; [and] it ceased <02308> to
be

with Sarah <08283> after the manner <0734> of women <0802>.



12 Therefore Sarah <08283> laughed <06711> within <07130>
herself,

saying <0559>, After <0310> I am waxed old < 04086> shall I have

pleasure <05730>, my lord <0113> being old < 02204> also?



13 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Abraham <085>,
Wherefore

<04100> did Sarah <08283> laugh <06711>, saying <0559>, Shall I
of a

surety <0552> bear <03205> a child, which <0589> am old <02204>?



14 Is any thing <01697> too hard <06381> for the LORD <03068>?
At

the time appointed <04150> I will return <07725> unto thee,

according to the time <06256> of life <02416>, and Sarah <08283>

shall have a son <01121>.



15 Then Sarah <08283> denied <03584>, saying < 0559>, I laughed

<06711> not; for she was afraid <03372>. And he said <0559>, Nay

<03808>; but thou didst laugh <06711>.



16. And the men <0582> rose <06965> up from thence <08033>, and

looked <08259> toward Sodom <05467>: and Abraham < 085> went
<01980>

with them to bring <07971> them on the way <07971>.



17 And the LORD <03068> said <0559>, Shall I hide <03680> from

Abraham <085> that thing which <0834> I do < 06213>;



18 Seeing that Abraham <085> shall surely become < 01961> a
great

<01419> and mighty <06099> nation <01471>, and all <03605> the

nations <01471> of the earth <0776> shall be blessed <01288> in
him?



19 For I know <03045> him, that he will command < 06680> his

children <01121> and his household <01004> after < 0310> him, and

they shall keep <08104> the way <01870> of the LORD <03068>, to
do

<06213> justice <06666> and judgment <04941>; that the LORD
<03068>

may bring <0935> upon Abraham <085> that which < 0834> he hath
spoken

<01696> of him.



20 And the LORD <03068> said <0559>, Because < 03588> the cry

<02201> of Sodom <05467> and Gomorrah <06017> is great <07227>,
and

because <03588> their sin <02403> is very < 03966> grievous
<03515>;



21 I will go <03381> down <03381> now <04994>, and see <07200>

whether they have done <06213> altogether <03617> according to
the

cry <06818> of it, which is come <0935> unto me; and if <0518>
not,

I will know <03045>.



22 And the men <0582> turned <06437> their faces from thence

<08033>, and went <03212> toward Sodom <05467>: but Abraham <085>

stood <05975> yet <05750> before <06440> the LORD <03068>.



23. And Abraham <085> drew near <05066>, and said <0559>, Wilt
thou

also <0637> destroy <05595> the righteous < 06662> with the wicked

<07563>?



24 Peradventure <0194> there be fifty <02572> righteous <06662>

within <08432> the city <05892>: wilt thou also < 0637> destroy

<05595> and not spare <05375> the place <04725> for the fifty

<02572> righteous <06662> that [are] therein < 07130>?



25 That be far <02486> from thee to do <06213> after this
<02088>

manner <01697>, to slay <04191> the righteous < 06662> with the

wicked <07563>: and that the righteous <06662> should be as the

wicked <07563>, that be far <02486> from thee: Shall not the
Judge

<08199> of all <03605> the earth <0776> do < 06213> right <04941>?



26 And the LORD <03068> said <0559>, If <0518> I find <04672>
in

Sodom <05467> fifty <02572> righteous <06662> within <08432> the

city <05892>, then I will spare <05375> all < 03605> the place

<04725> for their sakes <05668>.



27 And Abraham <085> answered <06030> and said < 0559>, Behold

<02009> now <04994>, I have taken <02974> upon me to speak
<01696>

unto the Lord <0136>, which <0595> [am but] dust < 06083> and
ashes

<0665>:



28 Peradventure <0194> there shall lack <02637> five <02568> of

the fifty <02572> righteous <06662>: wilt thou destroy <07843>
all

<03605> the city <05892> for [lack of] five < 02568>? And he said

<0559>, If <0518> I find <04672> there < 08033> forty <0705> and
five

<02568>, I will not destroy <07843> [it].



29 And he spake <01696> unto him yet <05750> again <03254>, and

said <0559>, Peradventure <0194> there shall be forty <0705>
found

<04672> there. And he said <0559>, I will not do < 06213> [it] for

forty's <0705> sake <05668>.



30 And he said <0559> [unto him], Oh <04994> let not the Lord

<0136> be angry <02734>, and I will speak < 01696>: Peradventure

<0194> there <08033> shall thirty <07970> be found <04672> there

<08033>. And he said <0559>, I will not do < 06213> [it], if
<0518> I

find <04672> thirty <07970> there <08033>.



31 And he said <0559>, Behold <02009> now < 04994>, I have taken

<02974> upon me to speak <01696> unto the Lord < 0136>:
Peradventure

<0194> there <08033> shall be twenty <06242> found <04672> there

<08033>. And he said <0559>, I will not destroy < 07843> [it] for

twenty's <06242> sake <05668>.



32 And he said <0559>, Oh <04994> let not the Lord <0136> be
angry

<02734>, and I will speak <01696> yet <0389> but this <06471>
once

<06471>: Peradventure <0194> ten <06235> shall be found <04672>

there <08033>. And he said <0559>, I will not destroy <07843>
[it]

for ten's <06235> sake <05668>.



33 And the LORD <03068> went <03212> his way < 03212>, as soon

<0834> as he had left <03615> communing <01696> with Abraham
<085>:

and Abraham <085> returned <07725> unto his place < 04725>.



Genesis 19



1. And there came <0935> two <08147> angels < 04397> to Sodom

<05467> at even <06153>; and Lot <03876> sat <03427> in the gate

<08179> of Sodom <05467>: and Lot <03876> seeing <07200> [them]
rose

<06965> up to meet <07125> them; and he bowed < 07812> himself
with

his face <0639> toward the ground <0776>;



2 And he said <0559>, Behold <02009> now < 04994>, my lords
<0113>,

turn <05493> in, I pray <04994> you, into <0413> your servant's

<05650> house <01004>, and tarry <03885> all <03885> night, and
wash

<07364> your feet <07272>, and ye shall rise < 07925> up early

<07925>, and go <01980> on your ways <01870>. And they said
<0559>,

Nay; but we will abide <03885> in the street <07339> all <03885>

night.



3 And he pressed <06484> upon them greatly <03966>; and they

turned <05493> in unto him, and entered <0935> into <0413> his
house

<01004>; and he made <06213> them a feast < 04960>, and did bake

<0644> unleavened <04682> bread, and they did eat < 0398>.



4. But before <02962> they lay <07901> down, the men <0582> of
the

city <05892>, [even] the men <0582> of Sodom < 05467>, compassed

<05437> the house <01004> round <05921>, both old <02205> and
young

<05288>, all <03605> the people <05971> from every quarter
<07098>:



5 And they called <07121> unto Lot <03876>, and said <0559>
unto

him, Where <0346> [are] the men <0582> which < 0834> came <0935>
in

to thee this night <03915>? bring <03318> them out unto us, that
we

may know <03045> them.



6 And Lot <03876> went <03318> out at the door < 06607> unto
them,

and shut <05462> the door <01817> after <0310> him,



7 And said <0559>, I pray <04994> you, brethren < 0251>, do not
so

wickedly <07489>.



8 Behold <02009> now <04994>, I have two < 08147> daughters
<01363>

which <0834> have not known <03045> man <0376>; let me, I pray

<04994> you, bring <03318> them out unto you, and do <06213> ye
to

them as [is] good <02896> in your eyes <05869>: only unto these

<0428> men <0582> do <06213> nothing; for therefore came <0935>
they

under the shadow <06738> of my roof <06982>.



9 And they said <0559>, Stand <05066> back < 01973>. And they
said

<0559> [again], This one <0259> [fellow <07453> ] came <0935> in
to

sojourn <01481>, and he will needs be a judge <08199>: now
<06288>

will we deal worse <07489> with thee, than with them. And they

pressed <06484> sore <03966> upon the man <0376> , [even] Lot

<03876>, and came <05066> near <05066> to break <07665> the door

<01817>.



10 But the men <0582> put <07971> forth < 07971> their hand

<03027>, and pulled <0935> Lot <03876> into the house <01004> to

them, and shut <05462> to the door <01817>.



11 And they smote <05221> the men <0582> that [were] at the
door

<06607> of the house <01004> with blindness < 05575>, both small

<06996> and great <01419>: so that they wearied < 03811>
themselves

to find <04672> the door <06607>.



12. And the men <0582> said <0559> unto Lot < 03876>, Hast thou
here

<06311> any <04310> besides <05750>? son < 01121> in law <02859>,
and

thy sons <01121>, and thy daughters <01363>, and whatsoever thou

hast in the city <05892>, bring <03318> [them] out of this place

<04725>:



13 For we will destroy <07843> this <02088> place <04725>,
because

<03588> the cry <06818> of them is waxen great < 01431> before
<0854>

the face <06440> of the LORD <03068>; and the LORD <03068> hath
sent

<07971> us to destroy <07843> it.



14 And Lot <03876> went <03318> out, and spake < 01696> unto his

sons <02860> in law <02859>, which married < 03947> his daughters

<01363>, and said <0559>, Up, get <03318> you out of this <02088>

place <04725>; for the LORD <03068> will destroy < 07843> this
city

<05892>. But he seemed as one that mocked <06711> unto his sons

<02860> in law <02859>.



15. And when <03644> the morning <07837> arose < 05927>, then the

angels <04397> hastened <0213> Lot <03876>, saying <0559>, Arise

<06965>, take <03947> thy wife <0802>, and thy two <08147>
daughters

<01363>, which are here <04672>; lest <06435> thou be consumed

<05595> in the iniquity <05771> of the city < 05892>.



16 And while he lingered <04102>, the men <0582> laid hold
<02388>

upon his hand <03027>, and upon the hand <03027> of his wife
<0802>,

and upon the hand <03027> of his two <08147> daughters <01363>;
the

LORD <03068> being merciful <02551> unto him: and they brought

<03318> him forth <03318>, and set <03240> him without <02351>
the

city <05892>.



17 And it came <01961> to pass, when they had brought < 03318>
them

forth <03318> abroad <02351>, that he said < 0559>, Escape <04422>

for thy life <05315>; look <05027> not behind < 0310> thee,
neither

<0408> stay <05975> thou in all <03605> the plain <03603>; escape

<04422> to the mountain <02022>, lest <06435> thou be consumed

<05595>.



18 And Lot <03876> said <0559> unto them, Oh < 04994>, not so,
my

Lord <0113>:



19 Behold <02009> now <04994>, thy servant < 05650> hath found

<04672> grace <02580> in thy sight <05869>, and thou hast
magnified

<01431> thy mercy <02617>, which <0834> thou hast shewed <06213>

unto me in saving <02421> my life <05315>; and I cannot escape

<04422> to the mountain <02022>, lest <06435> some evil <07451>
take

<01692> me, and I die <04191>:



20 Behold <02009> now <04994>, this <02063> city <05892> [is]
near

<07138> to flee <05127> unto, and it [is] a little <04705> one:
Oh

<04994>, let me escape <04422> thither, ([is] it not a little

<04705> one?) and my soul <05315> shall live < 02421>.



21 And he said <0559> unto him, See <02009>, I have accepted

<05375> thee concerning this <02088> thing < 01697> also <01571>,

that I will not overthrow <02015> this city <05892>, for the
which

<0834> thou hast spoken <01696>.



22 Haste <04116> thee, escape <04422> thither; for I cannot do

<06213> any thing till <05704> thou be come < 0935> thither.

Therefore the name <08034> of the city <05892> was called <07121>

Zoar <06820>.



23 The sun <08121> was risen <03318> upon the earth <0776> when

Lot <03876> entered <0935> into Zoar <06820>.



24. Then the LORD <03068> rained <04305> upon Sodom <05467> and

upon Gomorrah <06017> brimstone <01614> and fire < 0784> from the

LORD <03068> out of heaven <08064>;



25 And he overthrew <02015> those <0411> cities < 05892>, and
all

<03605> the plain <03603>, and all <03605> the inhabitants
<03427>

of the cities <05892>, and that which grew <06780> upon the
ground

<0127>.



26. But his wife <0802> looked <05027> back from behind <0310>
him,

and she became <01961> a pillar <05333> of salt < 04417>.



27. And Abraham <085> gat up early <07925> in the morning
<01242>

to the place <04725> where <0834> he stood < 05975> before the
LORD

<03068>:



28 And he looked <08259> toward Sodom <05467> and Gomorrah

<06017>, and toward all <03605> the land <0776> of the plain

<03603>, and beheld <07200>, and, lo <02009>, the smoke <07008>
of

the country <0776> went <05927> up as the smoke < 07008> of a
furnace

<03536>.



29 And it came <01961> to pass, when God <0430> destroyed
<07843>

the cities <05892> of the plain <03603>, that God < 0430>
remembered

<02142> Abraham <085>, and sent <07971> Lot < 03876> out of the
midst

<08432> of the overthrow <02018>, when he overthrew <02015> the

cities <05892> in the which <0834> Lot <03876> dwelt <03427>.



30. And Lot <03876> went <05927> up out of Zoar < 06820>, and
dwelt

<03427> in the mountain <02022>, and his two < 08147> daughters

<01363> with him; for he feared <03372> to dwell < 03418> in Zoar

<06820>: and he dwelt <03427> in a cave <04631>, he and his two

<08147> daughters <01363>.



31 And the firstborn <01067> said <0559> unto the younger
<06810>,

Our father <01> [is] old <02204>, and [there is] not a man
<0376> in

the earth <0776> to come <0935> in unto us after the manner
<01870>

of all <03605> the earth <0776>:



32 Come <03212>, let us make our father <01> drink <08248> wine

<03196>, and we will lie <07901> with him, that we may preserve

<02421> seed <02233> of our father <01>.



33 And they made their father <01> drink <08248> wine <03196>
that

night <03915>: and the firstborn <01067> went < 0935> in, and lay

<07901> with her father <01>; and he perceived < 03045> not when
she

lay <07901> down, nor when she arose <06965>.



34 And it came <01961> to pass on the morrow <04283> , that the

firstborn <01067> said <0559> unto the younger < 06810>, Behold

<02005>, I lay <07901> yesternight <0570> with my father <01>:
let

us make him drink <08248> wine <03196> this night < 03915> also

<01571>; and go <0935> thou in, [and] lie < 07901> with him, that
we

may preserve <02421> seed <02233> of our father < 01>.



35 And they made their father <01> drink <08248> wine <03196>
that

night <03915> also <01571>: and the younger < 06810> arose
<06965>,

and lay <07901> with him; and he perceived <03045> not when she
lay

<07901> down, nor when she arose <06965>.



36 Thus were both <08147> the daughters <01363> of Lot <03876>

with child <02029> by their father <01>.



37 And the firstborn <01067> bare <03205> a son < 01121>, and

called <07121> his name <08034> Moab <04124>: the same <01931>
[is]

the father <01> of the Moabites <04124> unto this day <03117>.



38 And the younger <06810>, she also <01571> bare <03205> a son

<01121>, and called <07121> his name <08034> Benammi <01151>: the

same <01931> [is] the father <01> of the children < 01121> of
Ammon

<05983> unto this day <03117>.



Genesis 20



1. And Abraham <085> journeyed <05265> from thence <08033>
toward

the south <05045> country <0776>, and dwelled < 03427> between
<0996>

Kadesh <06946> and Shur <07793>, and sojourned < 01481> in Gerar

<01642>.



2 And Abraham <085> said <0559> of Sarah < 08283> his wife
<0802>,

She [is] my sister <0269>: and Abimelech <040> king <04428> of
Gerar

<01642> sent <07971>, and took <03947> Sarah <08283>.



3. But God <0430> came <0935> to Abimelech < 040> in a dream
<02472>

by night <03915>, and said <0559> to him, Behold < 02009>, thou
[art

but] a dead <04191> man <0376>, for the woman < 0802> which <0834>

thou hast taken <03947>; for she [is] a man's <01167> wife
<01166>.



4 But Abimelech <040> had not come <07126> near < 07126> her:
and

he said <0559>, Lord <0136>, wilt thou slay < 02026> also <01571>
a

righteous <06662> nation <01471>?



5 Said <0559> he not unto me, She [is] my sister < 0269>? and
she,

even <01571> she herself said <0559>, He [is] my brother <0251>:
in

the integrity <08537> of my heart <03824> and innocency <05356>
of

my hands <03709> have I done <06213> this < 02063>.



6 And God <0430> said <0559> unto him in a dream <02472>, Yea

<01571>, I know <03045> that thou didst <06213> this <02063> in
the

integrity <08537> of thy heart <03824>; for I also withheld
<02820>

thee from sinning <02398> against me: therefore suffered <05414>
I

thee not to touch <05060> her.



7 Now <06258> therefore restore <07725> the man < 0376> [his]
wife

<0802>; for he [is] a prophet <05030>, and he shall pray <06419>
for

thee, and thou shalt live <02421>: and if <0518> thou restore

<07725> [her] not, know <03045> thou that thou shalt surely
<03588>

die <04191>, thou, and all <03605> that [are] thine.



8. Therefore Abimelech <040> rose <07925> early < 07925> in the

morning <01242>, and called <07121> all <03605> his servants

<05650>, and told <01696> all <03605> these < 0428> things
<01697> in

their ears <0241>: and the men <0582> were sore < 03966> afraid

<03372>.



9 Then Abimelech <040> called <07121> Abraham < 085>, and said

<0559> unto him, What <04100> hast thou done < 06213> unto us? and

what <04100> have I offended <02398> thee, that thou hast brought

<0935> on <05921> me and on <05921> my kingdom <04467> a great

<01419> sin <02401>? thou hast done <06213> deeds <04639> unto me

that ought <03972> not to be done <06213>.



10 And Abimelech <040> said <0559> unto Abraham < 085>, What

<04100> sawest <07200> thou, that thou hast done < 06213> this

<02088> thing <01697>?



11 And Abraham <085> said <0559>, Because < 03588> I thought

<0559>, Surely <07535> the fear <03374> of God <0430> [is] not in

this <02088> place <04725>; and they will slay < 02026> me for my

wife's <0802> sake <01697>.



12 And yet <01571> indeed <0546> [she is] my sister <0269>; she

[is] the daughter <01323> of my father <01>, but not the daughter

<01323> of my mother <0517>; and she became < 01961> my wife
<0802>.



13 And it came <01961> to pass, when <0834> God < 0430> caused
me

to wander <08582> from my father's <01> house < 01004>, that I
said

<0559> unto her, This <02088> [is] thy kindness < 02617> which
<0834>

thou shalt shew <06213> unto me; at <0413> every < 03605> place

<04725> whither we shall come <0935>, say <0559> of me, He [is]
my

brother <0251>.



14. And Abimelech <040> took <03947> sheep < 06629>, and oxen

<01241>, and menservants <05650>, and womenservants <08198>, and

gave <05414> [them] unto Abraham <085>, and restored <07725> him

Sarah <08283> his wife <0802>.



15 And Abimelech <040> said <0559>, Behold < 02009>, my land
<0776>

[is] before <06440> thee: dwell <03418> where it pleaseth thee.



16 And unto Sarah <08283> he said <0559>, Behold <02009>, I
have

given <05414> thy brother <0251> a thousand < 0505> [pieces] of

silver <03701>: behold <02009>, he [is] to thee a covering
<03682>

of the eyes <05869>, unto all <03605> that [are] with thee, and
with

all <03605> [other]: thus she was reproved <03198>.



17 So Abraham <085> prayed <06419> unto God < 0430>: and God
<0430>

healed <07495> Abimelech <040>, and his wife < 0802>, and his

maidservants <0519>; and they bare <03205> [children].



18 For the LORD <03068> had fast closed <06113> up all <03605>
the

wombs <07358> of the house <01004> of Abimelech < 040>, because of

Sarah <08283> Abraham's <085> wife <0802>.



Genesis 21



1. And the LORD <03068> visited <06485> Sarah < 08283> as he had

said <0559>, and the LORD <03068> did <06213> unto Sarah <08283>
as

he had spoken <01696>.



2 For Sarah <08283> conceived <02030>, and bare < 03205> Abraham

<085> a son <01121> in his old <02208> age, at the set <04150>
time

of which <0834> God <0430> had spoken <01696> to him.



3 And Abraham <085> called <07121> the name < 08034> of his son

<01121> that was born <03205> unto him, whom < 0834> Sarah <08283>

bare <03205> to him, Isaac <03327>.



4 And Abraham <085> circumcised <04135> his son < 01121> Isaac

<03327> being eight <08083> days <03117> old <01121>, as God
<0430>

had commanded <06680> him.



5 And Abraham <085> was an hundred <03967> years <08141> old

<01121>, when his son <01121> Isaac <03327> was born <03205> unto

him.



6 And Sarah <08283> said <0559>, God <0430> hath made me to
laugh

<06712>, [so that] all <03605> that hear <08085> will laugh
<06711>

with me.



7 And she said <0559>, Who <04310> would have said <04448> unto

Abraham <085>, that Sarah <08283> should have given children
<01121>

suck <03243>? for I have born <03205> [him] a son < 01121> in his
old

<02208> age.



8 And the child <03206> grew <01431>, and was weaned <01580>:
and

Abraham <085> made <06213> a great <01419> feast <04960> the
[same]

day <03117> that Isaac <03327> was weaned < 01580>.



9. And Sarah <08283> saw <07200> the son < 01121> of Hagar
<01904>

the Egyptian <04713>, which <0834> she had born < 03205> unto
Abraham

<085>, mocking <06711>.



10 Wherefore she said <0559> unto Abraham <085>, Cast <01644>
out

this <02063> bondwoman <0519> and her son < 01121>: for the son

<01121> of this <02063> bondwoman <0519> shall not be heir
<03423>

with my son, [even] with Isaac <03327>.



11 And the thing <01697> was very <03966> grievous <07489> in

Abraham's <085> sight <05869> because of his son < 01121>.



12 And God <0430> said <0559> unto Abraham < 085>, Let it not be

grievous <07489> in thy sight <05869> because < 05921> of the lad

<05288>, and because <05921> of thy bondwoman < 0519>; in all
<03605>

that Sarah <08283> hath said <0559> unto thee, hearken <08085>
unto

her voice <06963>; for in Isaac <03327> shall thy seed <02233> be

called <07121>.



13 And also of the son <01121> of the bondwoman < 0519> will I
make

<07760> a nation <01471>, because <03588> he [is] thy seed
<02233>.



14. And Abraham <085> rose <07925> up early < 07925> in the
morning

<01242>, and took <03947> bread <03899>, and a bottle <02573> of

water <04325>, and gave <05414> [it] unto Hagar < 01904>, putting

<07760> [it] on <05921> her shoulder <07926>, and the child
<03206>,

and sent <07971> her away: and she departed <03212>, and wandered

<08582> in the wilderness <04057> of Beersheba < 0884>.



15 And the water <04325> was spent <03615> in the bottle
<02573>,

and she cast <07993> the child <03206> under < 08478> one <0259>
of

the shrubs <07880>.



16 And she went <03212>, and sat <03427> her down over <05048>

against <05048> [him] a good <07368> way off, as it were a
bowshot:

for <07198> she said <0559>, Let me not see < 07200> the death

<04194> of the child <03206>. And she sat < 03427> over <05048>

against <05048> [him], and lift <05375> up her voice <06963>, and

wept <01058>.



17 And God <0430> heard <08085> the voice < 06963> of the lad

<05288>; and the angel <04397> of God <0430> called <07121> to
Hagar

<01904> out of heaven <08064>, and said <0559> unto her, What

<04100> aileth thee, Hagar <01904>? fear <03372> not; for God
<0430>

hath heard <08085> the voice <06963> of the lad < 05288> where
<0834>

he [is].



18 Arise <06965>, lift <05375> up the lad < 05288>, and hold

<02388> him in thine hand <03027>; for I will make <07760> him a

great <01419> nation <01471>.



19 And God <0430> opened <06491> her eyes < 05869>, and she saw

<07200> a well <0875> of water <04325>; and she went <03212>, and

filled <04390> the bottle <02573> with water < 04325>, and gave
the

lad <05288> drink <08248>.



20 And God <0430> was with the lad <05288>; and he grew
<01431>,

and dwelt <03427> in the wilderness <04057>, and became <01961>
an

archer <07198>.



21 And he dwelt <03427> in the wilderness <04057> of Paran

<06290>: and his mother <0517> took <03947> him a wife <0802>
out of

the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.



22. And it came <01961> to pass at that time <06256>, that

Abimelech <040> and Phichol <06369> the chief captain <08269> of
his

host <06635> spake <0559> unto Abraham <085>, saying <0559>, God

<0430> [is] with thee in all <03605> that thou doest <06213>:



23 Now <06258> therefore swear <07650> unto me here <02008> by
God

<0430> that thou wilt not deal falsely <08266> with me, nor with
my

son <05220>, nor with my son's <05220> son < 05220>: [but]
according

to the kindness <02617> that I have done <06213> unto thee, thou

shalt do <06213> unto me, and to the land <0776> wherein <0834>
thou

hast sojourned <01481>.



24 And Abraham <085> said <0559>, I will swear < 07650>.



25 And Abraham <085> reproved <03198> Abimelech < 040> because
of a

well <0875> of water <04325>, which <0834> Abimelech's <040>

servants <05650> had violently <01497> taken < 01497> away.



26 And Abimelech <040> said <0559>, I wot < 03045> not who
<04310>

hath done <06213> this <02088> thing <01697>: neither <03808>
didst

thou tell <05046> me, neither <03808> yet < 01571> heard <08085> I

[of it], but to day <03117>.



27 And Abraham <085> took <03947> sheep < 06629> and oxen
<01241>,

and gave <05414> them unto Abimelech <040>; and both <08147> of
them

made <03772> a covenant <01285>.



28 And Abraham <085> set <05324> seven <07651> ewe <03535>
lambs

<03535> of the flock <06629> by themselves.



29 And Abimelech <040> said <0559> unto Abraham < 085>, What

<04100> [mean] these seven <07651> ewe <03535> lambs <03535>
which

<0834> thou hast set <05324> by themselves?



30 And he said <0559>, For [these] seven <07651> ewe <03535>
lambs

<03535> shalt thou take <03947> of my hand < 03027>, that they
may be

a witness <05713> unto me, that I have digged <02658> this well

<0875>.



31 Wherefore <04100> he called <07121> that place <04725>

Beersheba <0884>; because <03588> there <08033> they sware
<07650>

both <08147> of them.



32 Thus <03541> they made <03772> a covenant < 01285> at
Beersheba

<0884>: then Abimelech <040> rose <06965> up, and Phichol <06369>

the chief captain <08269> of his host <06635>, and they returned

<07725> into <0413> the land <0776> of the Philistines <06430>.



33. And [Abraham] planted <05193> a grove <0815> in Beersheba

<0884>, and called <07121> there <08033> on the name <08034> of
the

LORD <03068>, the everlasting <05769> God <0410> .



34 And Abraham <085> sojourned <01481> in the Philistines
<06430>'

land <0776> many <07227> days <03117>.



Genesis 22



1. And it came <01961> to pass after <0310> these things
<01697>,

that God <0430> did tempt <05254> Abraham <085>, and said <0559>

unto him, Abraham <085>: and he said <0559>, Behold <02009>,
[here]

I [am].



2 And he said <0559>, Take <03947> now <04994> thy son <01121>,

thine only <03173> [son] Isaac <03327>, whom < 0834> thou lovest

<0157>, and get <03212> thee into <0413> the land <0776> of
Moriah

<04179>; and offer <05927> him there <08033> for a burnt <05930>

offering upon one <0259> of the mountains <02022> which <0834> I

will tell <0559> thee of.



3. And Abraham <085> rose <07925> up early < 07925> in the
morning

<01242>, and saddled <02280> his ass <02543>, and took <03947>
two

<08147> of his young <05288> men with him, and Isaac <03327> his
son

<01121>, and clave <01234> the wood <06086> for the burnt <05930>

offering, and rose <06965> up, and went <03212> unto the place

<04725> of which <0834> God <0430> had told < 0559> him.



4 Then on the third <07992> day <03117> Abraham < 085> lifted

<05375> up his eyes <05869>, and saw <07200> the place <04725>
afar

<07350> off.



5 And Abraham <085> said <0559> unto his young < 05288> men,
Abide

<03427> ye here <06311> with the ass <02543>; and I and the lad

<05288> will go <03212> yonder <03541> and worship <07812>, and
come

<07725> again <07725> to you.



6 And Abraham <085> took <03947> the wood < 06086> of the burnt

<05930> offering, and laid <07760> [it] upon Isaac <03327> his
son

<01121>; and he took <03947> the fire <0784> in his hand <03027>,

and a knife <03979>; and they went <03212> both < 08147> of them

together <03162>.



7 And Isaac <03327> spake <0559> unto Abraham < 085> his father

<01>, and said <0559>, My father <01>: and he said <0559>, Here

<02009> [am] I, my son <01121>. And he said < 0559>, Behold
<02009>

the fire <0784> and the wood <06086>: but where < 0834> [is] the
lamb

<07716> for a burnt <05930> offering?



8 And Abraham <085> said <0559>, My son < 01121>, God <0430>
will

provide <07200> himself a lamb <07716> for a burnt <05930>
offering:

so they went <03212> both <08147> of them together <03162>.



9 And they came <0935> to the place <04725> which <0834> God

<0430> had told <0559> him of; and Abraham <085> built <01129> an

altar <04196> there <08033>, and laid the wood < 06086> in order,
and

bound <06123> Isaac <03327> his son <01121>, and laid <07760>
him on

<05921> the altar <04196> upon the wood <06086>.



10 And Abraham <085> stretched <07971> forth his hand <03027>,
and

took <03947> the knife <03979> to slay <07819> his son <01121>.



11. And the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> called <07121>
unto

him out of heaven <08064>, and said <0559>, Abraham <085>,
Abraham

<085>: and he said <0559>, Here <02009> [am] I.



12 And he said <0559>, Lay <07971> not thine hand <03027> upon
the

lad <05288>, neither <0408> do <06213> thou any <03972> thing
unto

him: for now <06258> I know <03045> that thou fearest <03373> God

<0430>, seeing <07200> thou hast not withheld < 02820> thy son

<01121>, thine only <03162> [son] from me.



13 And Abraham <085> lifted <05375> up his eyes < 05869>, and

looked <07200>, and behold <02009> behind <0310> [him] a ram
<0352>

caught <0270> in a thicket <05442> by his horns < 07161>: and
Abraham

<085> went <03212> and took <03947> the ram < 0352>, and offered

<05927> him up for a burnt <05930> offering in the stead <08478>
of

his son <01121>.



14 And Abraham <085> called <07121> the name < 08034> of that
place

<04725> Jehovahjireh <03070>: as it is said < 0559> [to] this day

<03117>, In the mount <02022> of the LORD < 03068> it shall be
seen

<07200>.



15. And the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> called <07121>
unto

Abraham <085> out of heaven <08064> the second < 08145> time
<06256>,



16 And said <0559>, By myself have I sworn <07650>, saith
<05002>

the LORD <03068>, for because thou hast done <06213> this thing

<01697>, and hast not withheld <02820> thy son < 01121>, thine
only

<03173> [son]:



17 That in blessing <01288> I will bless <01288> thee, and in

multiplying <07235> I will multiply <07235> thy seed <02233> as
the

stars <03556> of the heaven <08064>, and as the sand <02344>
which

<0834> [is] upon the sea <03220> shore <08193>; and thy seed
<02233>

shall possess <03423> the gate <08179> of his enemies <0341>;



18 And in thy seed <02233> shall all <03605> the nations
<01471>

of the earth <0776> be blessed <01288>; because thou hast obeyed

<08085> my voice <06963>.



19 So Abraham <085> returned <07725> unto his young <05288>
men,

and they rose <06965> up and went <03212> together <03162> to

Beersheba <0884>; and Abraham <085> dwelt < 03427> at Beersheba

<0884>.



20. And it came <01961> to pass after <0310> these things
<01697>,

that it was told <05046> Abraham <085>, saying < 0559>, Behold

<02009>, Milcah <04435>, she hath also born < 03205> children
<01121>

unto thy brother <0251> Nahor <05152>;



21 Huz <05780> his firstborn <01060>, and Buz < 0938> his
brother

<0251>, and Kemuel <07055> the father <01> of Aram <0758>,



22 And Chesed <03777>, and Hazo <02375>, and Pildash <06394>,
and

Jidlaph <03044>, and Bethuel <01328>.



23 And Bethuel <01328> begat <03205> Rebekah < 07259>: these
eight

<08083> Milcah <04435> did bear <03205> to Nahor <05152>,
Abraham's

<085> brother <0251>.



24 And his concubine <06370>, whose name <08034> [was] Reumah

<07208>, she bare <03205> also Tebah <02875>, and Gaham <01514>,
and

Thahash <08477>, and Maachah <04601>.



Genesis 23



1. And Sarah <08283> was an hundred <03967> and seven <07651>
and

twenty <06242> years <08141> old <02416>: [these were] the years

<08141> of the life <02416> of Sarah <08283>.



2 And Sarah <08283> died <04191> in Kirjatharba < 07153>; the
same

<01931> [is] Hebron <02275> in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>:

and Abraham <085> came <0935> to mourn <05594> for Sarah <08283>,

and to weep <01058> for her.



3. And Abraham <085> stood <06965> up from before his dead
<04191>,

and spake <01696> unto the sons <01121> of Heth < 02845>, saying

<0559>,



4 I [am] a stranger <01616> and a sojourner <08453> with you:
give

<05414> me a possession <0272> of a buryingplace < 06913> with
you,

that I may bury <06912> my dead <04191> out of my sight <06440>.



5 And the children <01121> of Heth <02845> answered <06030>

Abraham <085>, saying <0559> unto him,



6 Hear <08085> us, my lord <0113>: thou [art] a mighty <0430>

prince <05387> among <08432> us: in the choice < 04005> of our

sepulchres <06913> bury <06912> thy dead <04191> ; none of us
shall

withhold <03607> from thee his sepulchre <06913>, but that thou

mayest bury <06912> thy dead <04191>.



7 And Abraham <085> stood <06965> up, and bowed < 07812>
himself to

the people <05971> of the land <0776>, [even] to the children

<01121> of Heth <02845>.



8 And he communed <01696> with them, saying <0559>, If it be
your

mind <05315> that I should bury <06912> my dead < 04191> out of my

sight <06440>; hear <08085> me, and intreat < 06293> for me to
Ephron

<06085> the son <01121> of Zohar <06714>,



9 That he may give <05414> me the cave <04631> of Machpelah

<04375>, which <0834> he hath, which <0834> [is] in the end
<07097>

of his field <07704>; for as much <07227> money < 03701> as it is

worth <04392> he shall give <05414> it me for a possession
<0272> of

a buryingplace <06913> amongst <08432> you.



10 And Ephron <06085> dwelt <03427> among < 08432> the children

<01121> of Heth <02845>: and Ephron <06085> the Hittite <02850>

answered <06030> Abraham <085> in the audience < 0241> of the

children <01121> of Heth <02845>, [even] of all < 03605> that went

<0935> in at the gate <08179> of his city < 05892>, saying <0559>,



11 Nay <03808>, my lord <0113>, hear <08085> me: the field
<07704>

give <05414> I thee, and the cave <04631> that [is] therein, I
give

<05414> it thee; in the presence <05869> of the sons <01121> of
my

people <05971> give <05414> I it thee: bury < 06912> thy dead

<04191>.



12 And Abraham <085> bowed <07812> down < 07812> himself before

<06440> the people <05971> of the land <0776>.



13 And he spake <01696> unto Ephron <06085> in the audience
<0241>

of the people <05971> of the land <0776>, saying < 0559>, But if
thou

[wilt give it], I pray <03863> thee, hear <08085> me: I will give

<05414> thee money <03701> for the field <07704> ; take <03947>
[it]

of me, and I will bury <06912> my dead <04191> there <08033>.



14 And Ephron <06085> answered <06030> Abraham < 085>, saying

<0559> unto him,



15 My lord <0113>, hearken <08085> unto me: the land <0776> [is

worth] four <0702> hundred <03967> shekels < 08255> of silver

<03701>; what <04100> [is] that betwixt <0996> me and thee? bury

<06912> therefore thy dead <04191>.



16. And Abraham <085> hearkened <08085> unto Ephron <06085>; and

Abraham weighed <08254> to Ephron <06085> the silver <03701>,
which

<0834> he had named <01696> in the audience < 0241> of the sons

<01121> of Heth <02845>, four <0702> hundred <03967> shekels
<08255>

of silver <03701>, current <05674> [money < 03701>] with the

merchant.



17 And the field <07704> of Ephron <06085>, which <0834> [was]
in

Machpelah <04375>, which <0834> [was] before < 06440> Mamre
<04471>,

the field <07704>, and the cave <04631> which < 0834> [was]
therein,

and all <03605> the trees <06086> that [were] in the field
<07704>,

that [were] in all <03605> the borders <01366> round <05439>
about,

were made sure <06965>



18 Unto Abraham <085> for a possession <04736> in the presence

<05869> of the children <01121> of Heth <02845>, before <06440>
all

<03605> that went <0935> in at the gate <08179> of his city
<05892>.



19 And after <0310> this, Abraham <085> buried < 06912> Sarah

<08283> his wife <0802> in the cave <04631> of the field <07704>
of

Machpelah <04375> before Mamre <04471>: the same < 01931> [is]
Hebron

<02275> in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>.



20 And the field <07704>, and the cave <04631> that [is]
therein,

were made sure <06965> unto Abraham <085> for a possession
<0272> of

a buryingplace <06913> by the sons <01121> of Heth <02845>.



Genesis 24



1. And Abraham <085> was old <02204>, [and] well stricken
<0935> in

age <03117>: and the LORD <03068> had blessed < 01288> Abraham
<085>

in all <03605> things.



2 And Abraham <085> said <0559> unto his eldest < 02205> servant

<05650> of his house <01004>, that ruled <04910> over all <03605>

that he had, Put <07760>, I pray <04994> thee, thy hand <03027>

under <08478> my thigh <03409>:



3 And I will make thee swear <07650> by the LORD < 03068>, the
God

<0430> of heaven <08064>, and the God <0430> of the earth <0776>,

that thou shalt not take <03947> a wife <0802> unto my son
<01121>

of the daughters <01363> of the Canaanites <03669>, among <07130>

whom <0834> I dwell <03418>:



4 But thou shalt go <03212> unto my country <0776>, and to my

kindred <04138>, and take <03947> a wife <0802> unto my son
<01121>

Isaac <03327>.



5 And the servant <05650> said <0559> unto him, Peradventure

<0194> the woman <0802> will not be willing < 014> to follow me
unto

this land <0776>: must I needs bring <07725> thy son <01121>
again

<07725> unto the land <0776> from whence <0370> thou camest
<03318>?



6 And Abraham <085> said <0559> unto him, Beware <08104> thou
that

thou bring <07725> not my son <01121> thither again <07725>.



7 The LORD <03068> God <0430> of heaven < 08064>, which <0834>
took

<03947> me from my father's <01> house <01004>, and from the land

<0776> of my kindred <04138>, and which <0834> spake <01696> unto

me, and that sware <07650> unto me, saying <0559>, Unto thy seed

<02233> will I give <05414> this land <0776>; he shall send
<07971>

his angel <04397> before <06440> thee, and thou shalt take
<03947> a

wife <0802> unto my son <01121> from thence < 08033>.



8 And if the woman <0802> will not be willing <014> to follow

thee, then thou shalt be clear <05352> from this my oath <07621>:

only bring <07725> not my son <01121> thither < 08033> again
<07725>.



9 And the servant <05650> put <07760> his hand < 03027> under

<08478> the thigh <03409> of Abraham <085> his master <0113>, and

sware <07650> to him concerning <05921> that matter <01697>.



10. And the servant <05650> took <03947> ten < 06235> camels
<01581>

of the camels <01581> of his master <0113>, and departed <03212>;

for all <03605> the goods <02898> of his master < 0113> [were] in
his

hand <03027>: and he arose <06965>, and went < 03212> to
Mesopotamia

<0763>, unto the city <05892> of Nahor <05152>.



11 And he made his camels <01581> to kneel <01288> down <01288>

without <02351> the city <05892> by a well < 0875> of water
<04325>

at the time <06256> of the evening <06153>, [even] the time
<06256>

that women go <03318> out to draw <07579> [water].



12 And he said <0559>, O LORD <03068> God < 0430> of my master

<0113> Abraham <085>, I pray <04994> thee, send <07136> me good

speed <07136> this day <03117>, and shew <06213> kindness <02617>

unto my master <0113> Abraham <085>.



13 Behold <02009>, I stand <05324> [here] by the well <05869>
of

water <04325>; and the daughters <01363> of the men <0582> of the

city <05892> come <03318> out to draw <07579> water <04325>:



14 And let it come <0935> to pass, that the damsel < 05291> to
whom

<0834> I shall say <0559>, Let <05186> down < 05186> thy pitcher

<03537>, I pray <04994> thee, that I may drink < 08354>; and she

shall say <0559>, Drink <08354>, and I will give thy camels
<01581>

drink <08248> also: [let the same <01931> be] she [that] thou
hast

appointed <03198> for thy servant <05650> Isaac < 03327>; and
thereby

<02004> shall I know <03045> that thou hast shewed <06213>
kindness

<02617> unto my master <0113>.



15 And it came <01961> to pass, before <06440> he had done
<03615>

speaking <01696>, that, behold <02009>, Rebekah < 07259> came
<03318>

out, who <0834> was born <03205> to Bethuel < 01328>, son <01121>
of

Milcah <04435>, the wife <0802> of Nahor <05152> , Abraham's <085>

brother <0251>, with her pitcher <03537> upon her shoulder
<07926>.



16 And the damsel <05291> [was] very <03966> fair <02896> to
look

<04758> upon, a virgin <01330>, neither <03808> had any man
<0376>

known <03045> her: and she went <03381> down < 03381> to the well

<05869>, and filled <04390> her pitcher <03537>, and came <05927>

up.



17 And the servant <05650> ran <07323> to meet < 07125> her, and

said <0559>, Let me, I pray <04994> thee, drink < 01572> a little

<04592> water <04325> of thy pitcher <03537>.



18 And she said <0559>, Drink <08354>, my lord < 0113>: and she

hasted <04116>, and let <03381> down <03381> her pitcher <03537>

upon her hand <03027>, and gave him drink <08248>.



19 And when <03588> she had done <03615> giving him drink
<08248>,

she said <0559>, I will draw <07579> [water < 04325>] for thy
camels

<01581> also, until they have done <03615> drinking <08354>.



20 And she hasted <04116>, and emptied <06168> her pitcher
<03537>

into <0413> the trough <08268>, and ran <07323> again <05750>
unto

the well <0875> to draw <07579> [water <04325>], and drew <08025>

for all <03605> his camels <01581>.



21 And the man <0376> wondering <07583> at her held <02790> his

peace <02790>, to wit <03045> whether <0518> the LORD <03068> had

made <06743> his journey <01870> prosperous < 06743> or not.



22 And it came <01961> to pass, as the camels < 01581> had done

<03615> drinking <08354>, that the man <0376> took <03947> a
golden

<02091> earring <05141> of half <01235> a shekel <01235> weight

<04948>, and two <08147> bracelets <06781> for her hands <03027>
of

ten <06235> [shekels <08255>] weight <04948> of gold <02091>;



23 And said <0559>, Whose <04310> daughter < 01323> [art] thou?

tell <05046> me, I pray <04994> thee: is there room <04725> [in]
thy

father's <01> house <01004> for us to lodge < 03885> in?



24 And she said <0559> unto him, I [am] the daughter < 01323> of

Bethuel <01328> the son <01121> of Milcah < 04435>, which <0834>
she

bare <03205> unto Nahor <05152>.



25 She said <0559> moreover unto him, We have both < 01571>
straw

<08401> and provender <04554> enough <07227>, and room <04725> to

lodge <03885> in.



26 And the man <0376> bowed <06915> down < 06915> his head, and

worshipped <07812> the LORD <03068>.



27 And he said <0559>, Blessed <01288> [be] the LORD <03068>
God

<0430> of my master <0113> Abraham <085>, who <04310> hath not
left

<05800> destitute <05800> my master <0113> of his mercy <02617>
and

his truth <0571>: I [being] in the way <01870>, the LORD <03068>
led

<05148> me to the house <01004> of my master's < 0113> brethren

<0251>.



28 And the damsel <05291> ran <07323>, and told < 05046> [them
of]

her mother's <0517> house <01004> these things < 01697>.



29. And Rebekah <07259> had a brother <0251>, and his name
<08034>

[was] Laban <03837>: and Laban <03837> ran < 07323> out unto the
man

<0376>, unto the well <05869>.



30 And it came <01961> to pass, when <03588> he saw <07200> the

earring <05141> and bracelets <06781> upon his sister's <0269>
hands

<03027>, and when <03588> he heard <08085> the words <01697> of

Rebekah <07259> his sister <0269>, saying <0559> , Thus <03541>
spake

<01696> the man <0376> unto me; that he came < 0935> unto the man

<0376>; and, behold <02009>, he stood <05975> by the camels
<01581>

at <05921> the well <05869>.



31 And he said <0559>, Come <0935> in, thou blessed <01288> of
the

LORD <03068>; wherefore <04100> standest <05975> thou without

<02351>? for I have prepared <06437> the house < 01004>, and room

<04725> for the camels <01581>.



32 And the man <0376> came <0935> into the house <01004>: and
he

ungirded <06605> his camels <01581>, and gave < 05414> straw
<08401>

and provender <04554> for the camels <01581>, and water <04325>
to

wash <07364> his feet <07272>, and the men's < 0582> feet <07272>

that [were] with him.



33 And there was set <07760> [meat] before <06440> him to eat

<0398>: but he said <0559>, I will not eat < 0398>, until I have
told

<01696> mine errand <01697>. And he said <0559>, Speak <01696>
on.



34 And he said <0559>, I [am] Abraham's <085> servant <05650>.



35 And the LORD <03068> hath blessed <01288> my master <0113>

greatly <03966>; and he is become <01431> great < 01431>: and he
hath

given <05414> him flocks <06629>, and herds < 01241>, and silver

<03701>, and gold <02091>, and menservants < 05650>, and
maidservants

<08198>, and camels <01581>, and asses <02543>.



36 And Sarah <08283> my master's <0113> wife < 0802> bare
<03205> a

son <01121> to my master <0113> when <0310> she was old <02209>:
and

unto him hath he given <05414> all <03605> that he hath.



37 And my master <0113> made me swear <07650>, saying <0559>,
Thou

shalt not take <03947> a wife <0802> to my son < 01121> of the

daughters <01363> of the Canaanites <03669>, in whose land
<0776> I

dwell <03418>:



38 But thou shalt go <03212> unto my father's <01> house
<01004>,

and to my kindred <04940>, and take <03947> a wife <0802> unto my

son <01121>.



39 And I said <0559> unto my master <0113>, Peradventure <0194>

the woman <0802> will not follow me.



40 And he said <0559> unto me, The LORD <03068>, before <06440>

whom <0834> I walk <01980>, will send <07971> his angel <04397>
with

thee, and prosper <06743> thy way <01870>; and thou shalt take

<03947> a wife <0802> for my son <01121> of my kindred <04940>,
and

of my father's <01> house <01004>:



41 Then <0227> shalt thou be clear <05352> from [this] my oath

<0423>, when <03588> thou comest <0935> to my kindred <04940>;
and

if <0518> they give <05414> not thee [one], thou shalt be clear

<05355> from my oath <0423>.



42 And I came <0935> this day <03117> unto the well <05869>,
and

said <0559>, O LORD <03068> God <0430> of my master <0113>
Abraham

<085>, if <0518> now <04994> thou do prosper <06743> my way
<01870>

which <0834> I go <01980>:



43 Behold <02009>, I stand <05324> by the well < 05869> of water

<04325>; and it shall come <01961> to pass, that when <03588> the

virgin <05959> cometh <03318> forth <03318> to draw <07579>
[water],

and I say <0559> to her, Give me, I pray <04994> thee, a little

<04592> water <04325> of thy pitcher <03537> to drink <08248>;



44 And she say <0559> to me, Both <08147> drink < 08354> thou,
and

I will also <01571> draw <07579> for thy camels < 01581>: [let]
the

same <01931> [be] the woman <0802> whom <0834> the LORD <03068>
hath

appointed <03198> out for my master's <0113> son < 01121>.



45 And before <02962> I had done <03615> speaking <01696> in
mine

heart <03820>, behold <02009>, Rebekah <07259> came <03318> forth

<03318> with her pitcher <03537> on <05921> her shoulder <07926>;

and she went <03381> down <03381> unto the well < 05869>, and drew

<07579> [water <04325>]: and I said <0559> unto her, Let me drink

<08248>, I pray <04994> thee.



46 And she made haste <04116>, and let <03381> down <03381> her

pitcher <03537> from her [shoulder], and said <0559>, Drink
<08354>,

and I will give thy camels <01581> drink <08248> also <01571>:
so I

drank <08354>, and she made the camels <01581> drink <08354> also

<01571>.



47 And I asked <07592> her, and said <0559>, Whose daughter

<01323> [art] thou? And she said <0559>, The daughter <01323> of

Bethuel <01328>, Nahor's <05152> son <01121>, whom <0834> Milcah

<04435> bare <03205> unto him: and I put <07760> the earring
<05141>

upon her face <0639>, and the bracelets <06781> upon her hands

<03027>.



48 And I bowed <06915> down <06915> my head, and worshipped

<07812> the LORD <03068>, and blessed <01288> the LORD <03068>
God

<0430> of my master <0113> Abraham <085>, which <0834> had led

<05148> me in the right <0571> way <01870> to take <03947> my

master's <0113> brother's <0251> daughter < 01323> unto his son

<01121>.



49 And now <06258> if <0518> ye will deal < 06213> kindly
<02617>

and truly <0571> with my master <0113>, tell < 05046> me: and if

<0518> not, tell <05046> me; that I may turn < 06437> to the right

<03225> hand <03225>, or <0176> to the left < 08040>.



50 Then Laban <03837> and Bethuel <01328> answered <06030> and

said <0559>, The thing <01697> proceedeth < 03318> from the LORD

<03068>: we cannot speak <01696> unto thee bad < 07451> or <0176>

good <02896>.



51 Behold <02009>, Rebekah <07259> [is] before < 06440> thee,
take

<03947> [her], and go <03212>, and let her be thy master's <0113>

son's <01121> wife <0802>, as the LORD <03068> hath spoken
<01696>.



52 And it came <01961> to pass, that, when Abraham's < 085>
servant

<05650> heard <08085> their words <01697>, he worshipped <07812>
the

LORD <03068>, [bowing himself] to the earth <0776>.



53 And the servant <05650> brought <03318> forth <03318> jewels

<03627> of silver <03701>, and jewels <03627> of gold <02091>,
and

raiment <0899>, and gave <05414> [them] to Rebekah <07259>: he
gave

<05414> also to her brother <0251> and to her mother <0517>
precious

<04030> things.



54. And they did eat <0398> and drink <08354>, he and the men

<0582> that [were] with him, and tarried <03885> all <03885>
night;

and they rose <06965> up in the morning <01242>, and he said
<0559>,

Send <07971> me away unto my master <0113>.



55 And her brother <0251> and her mother <0517> said <0559>,
Let

the damsel <05291> abide <03427> with us [a few] days <03117>, at

<0176> the least <0176> ten <06218>; after < 0310> that she shall
go

<03212>.



56 And he said <0559> unto them, Hinder <0309> me not, seeing
the

LORD <03068> hath prospered <06743> my way < 01870>; send <07971>
me

away that I may go <03212> to my master <0113>.



57 And they said <0559>, We will call <07121> the damsel
<05291>,

and enquire <07592> at her mouth <06310>.



58 And they called <07121> Rebekah <07259>, and said <0559>
unto

her, Wilt thou go <03212> with this <02088> man < 0376>? And she
said

<0559>, I will go <03212>.



59 And they sent <07971> away Rebekah <07259> their sister
<0269>,

and her nurse <03243>, and Abraham's <085> servant <05650>, and
his

men <0582>.



60 And they blessed <01288> Rebekah <07259>, and said <0559>
unto

her, Thou [art] our sister <0269>, be thou [the mother] of
thousands

<0505> of millions <07233>, and let thy seed < 02233> possess
<03423>

the gate <08179> of those which hate <08130> them.



61 And Rebekah <07259> arose <06965>, and her damsels <05291>,
and

they rode <07392> upon the camels <01581>, and followed the man

<0376>: and the servant <05650> took <03947> Rebekah <07259>, and

went <03212> his way <03212>.



62. And Isaac <03327> came <0935> from the way < 0935> of the
well

Lahairoi <0883>; for he dwelt <03427> in the south <05045>
country

<0776>.



63 And Isaac <03327> went <03318> out to meditate in the field

<07704> at the eventide: and he lifted <05375> up his eyes
<05869>,

and saw <07200>, and, behold <02009>, the camels < 01581> [were]

coming <0935>.



64 And Rebekah <07259> lifted <05375> up her eyes <05869>, and

when she saw <07200> Isaac <03327>, she lighted < 05307> off
<05921>

the camel <01581>.



65 For she [had] said <0559> unto the servant < 05650>, What

<04310> man <0376> [is] this <01976> that walketh <01980> in the

field <07704> to meet <07125> us? And the servant < 05650> [had]
said

<0559>, It [is] my master <0113>: therefore she took <03947> a
vail

<06809>, and covered <03680> herself.



66 And the servant <05650> told <05608> Isaac < 03327> all
<03605>

things <01697> that he had done <06213>.



67 And Isaac <03327> brought <0935> her into his mother <0517>

Sarah's <08283> tent <0168>, and took <03947> Rebekah <07259>,
and

she became <01961> his wife <0802>; and he loved < 0157> her: and

Isaac <03327> was comforted <05162> after <0310> his mother's
<0517>

[death].



Genesis 25



1. Then again <03254> Abraham <085> took < 03947> a wife <0802>,
and

her name <08034> [was] Keturah <06989>.



2 And she bare <03205> him Zimran <02175>, and Jokshan <03370>,

and Medan <04091>, and Midian <04080>, and Ishbak < 03435>, and
Shuah

<07774>.



3 And Jokshan <03370> begat <03205> Sheba < 07614>, and Dedan

<01719>. And the sons <01121> of Dedan <01719> were Asshurim
<0805>,

and Letushim <03912>, and Leummim <03817>.



4 And the sons <01121> of Midian <04080>; Ephah < 05891>, and
Epher

<06081>, and Hanoch <02585>, and Abida <028>, and Eldaah <0420>.
All

<03605> these <0428> [were] the children <01121> of Keturah
<06989>.



5 And Abraham <085> gave <05414> all <03605> that he had unto

Isaac <03327>.



6 But unto the sons <01121> of the concubines < 06370>, which

<0834> Abraham <085> had, Abraham <085> gave <05414> gifts
<04979>,

and sent <07971> them away from Isaac <03327> his son <01121>,
while

he yet lived <02416>, eastward <06924>, unto the east <06924>

country <0776>.



7 And these <0428> [are] the days <03117> of the years <08141>
of

Abraham's <085> life <02416> which <0834> he lived <02425>, an

hundred <03967> threescore <07657> and fifteen < 02568> years

<08141>.



8 Then Abraham <085> gave up the ghost <01478>, and died
<04191>

in a good <02896> old <07872> age <07872>, an old <02205> man,
and

full <07649> [of years]; and was gathered <0622> to his people

<05971>.



9 And his sons <01121> Isaac <03327> and Ishmael <03458> buried

<06912> him in the cave <04631> of Machpelah < 04375>, in the
field

<07704> of Ephron <06085> the son <01121> of Zohar <06714> the

Hittite <02850>, which <0834> [is] before Mamre < 04471>;



10 The field <07704> which <0834> Abraham < 085> purchased
<07069>

of the sons <01121> of Heth <02845>: there < 08033> was Abraham
<085>

buried <06912>, and Sarah <08283> his wife < 0802>.



11. And it came <01061> to pass after <0310> the death <04194>
of

Abraham <085>, that God <0430> blessed <01288> his son <01121>
Isaac

<03327>; and Isaac <03327> dwelt <03427> by the well <0883>
Lahairoi

<0883>.



12 Now these <0428> [are] the generations <08435> of Ishmael

<03458>, Abraham's <085> son <01121>, whom < 0834> Hagar <01904>
the

Egyptian <04713>, Sarah's <08283> handmaid < 08198>, bare <03205>

unto Abraham <085>:



13 And these <0428> [are] the names <08034> of the sons
<01121> of

Ishmael <03458>, by their names <08034>, according to their

generations <08435>: the firstborn <01060> of Ishmael <03458>,

Nebajoth <05032>; and Kedar <06938>, and Adbeel < 0110>, and
Mibsam

<04017>,



14 And Mishma <04927>, and Dumah <01746>, and Massa <04854>,



15 Hadar <01924>, and Tema <08485>, Jetur < 03195>, Naphish

<05305>, and Kedemah <06929>:



16 These <0428> [are] the sons <01121> of Ishmael <03458>, and

these <0428> [are] their names <08034>, by their towns <02691>,
and

by their castles <02918>; twelve princes <05387> according to
their

nations <0523>.



17 And these <0428> [are] the years <08141> of the life
<02416> of

Ishmael <03458>, an hundred <03967> and thirty < 07970> and seven

<07651> years <08141>: and he gave up the ghost < 01478> and died

<04191>; and was gathered <0622> unto his people < 05971>.



18 And they dwelt <07931> from Havilah <02341> unto Shur
<07793>,

that [is] before Egypt <04714>, as thou goest <0935> toward
Assyria

<0804>: [and] he died <05307> in the presence < 06440> of all
<03605>

his brethren <0251>.



19. And these <0428> [are] the generations <08435> of Isaac

<03327>, Abraham's <085> son <01121>: Abraham <085> begat <03205>

Isaac <03327>:



20 And Isaac <03327> was forty <0705> years < 08141> old <01121>

when he took <03947> Rebekah <07259> to wife < 0802>, the daughter

<01323> of Bethuel <01328> the Syrian <0761> of Padanaram
<06307>,

the sister <0269> to Laban <03837> the Syrian < 0761>.



21 And Isaac <03327> intreated <06279> the LORD < 03068> for his

wife <0802>, because <03588> she [was] barren < 06135>: and the
LORD

<03068> was intreated <06279> of him, and Rebekah < 07259> his
wife

<0802> conceived <02030>.



22 And the children <01121> struggled <07533> together within

<07130> her; and she said <0559>, If <0518> [it be] so <03651>,
why

<04100> [am] I thus <02088>? And she went < 03212> to enquire
<01875>

of the LORD <03068>.



23 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto her, Two <08147>
nations

<01471> [are] in thy womb <0990>, and two < 08147> manner of
people

<03816> shall be separated <06504> from thy bowels <04578>; and
[the

one] people <03816> shall be stronger <0553> than [the other]
people

<03816>; and the elder <07227> shall serve < 05647> the younger

<06810>.



24 And when her days <03117> to be delivered <03205> were

fulfilled <04390>, behold <02009>, [there were] twins <08380> in
her

womb <0990>.



25 And the first <07223> came <03318> out red < 0132>, all
<03605>

over like an hairy <08181> garment <0155>; and they called
<07121>

his name <08034> Esau <06215>.



26 And after <0310> that came <03318> his brother <0251> out,
and

his hand <03027> took hold <0270> on Esau's < 06215> heel <06119>;

and his name <08034> was called <07121> Jacob < 03290>: and Isaac

<03327> [was] threescore <08346> years <08141> old <01121> when
she

bare <03205> them.



27 And the boys <05288> grew <01431>: and Esau < 06215> was a

cunning <03045> hunter <06718>, a man <0376> of the field
<07704>;

and Jacob <03290> [was] a plain <08535> man < 0376>, dwelling
<03427>

in tents <0168>.



28 And Isaac <03327> loved <0157> Esau <06215> , because
<03588> he

did eat <06310> of [his] venison <06718>: but Rebekah <07259>
loved

<0157> Jacob <03290>.



29. And Jacob <03290> sod <02102> pottage < 05138>: and Esau
<06215>

came <0935> from the field <07704>, and he [was] faint <05889>:



30 And Esau <06215> said <0559> to Jacob < 03290>, Feed <03938>
me,

I pray <04994> thee, with that same <02088> red < 0122> [pottage];

for I [am] faint <05889>: therefore was his name < 08034> called

<07121> Edom <0123>.



31 And Jacob <03290> said <0559>, Sell <04376> me this day
<03117>

thy birthright <01062>.



32 And Esau <06215> said <0559>, Behold < 02009>, I [am] at the

point <01980> to die <04191>: and what <04100> profit shall this

<02088> birthright <01062> do to me?



33 And Jacob <03290> said <0559>, Swear < 07650> to me this day

<03117>; and he sware <07650> unto him: and he sold <04376> his

birthright <01062> unto Jacob <03290>.



34 Then Jacob <03290> gave <05414> Esau < 06215> bread <03899>
and

pottage <05138> of lentiles <05742>; and he did eat <0398> and
drink

<08354>, and rose <06965> up, and went <03212> his way <03212>:
thus

Esau <06215> despised <0959> [his] birthright < 01062>.



Genesis 26



1. And there was a famine <07458> in the land <0776>, beside
<0905>

the first <07223> famine <07458> that was in the days <03117> of

Abraham <085>. And Isaac <03327> went <03212> unto Abimelech
<040>

king <04428> of the Philistines <06430> unto Gerar <01642>.



2 And the LORD <03068> appeared <07200> unto him, and said
<0559>,

Go <03381> not down <03381> into Egypt <04714>; dwell <07931> in
the

land <0776> which <0834> I shall tell <0559> thee of:



3 Sojourn <01481> in this <02063> land <0776>, and I will be
with

thee, and will bless <01288> thee; for unto thee, and unto thy
seed

<02233>, I will give <05414> all <03605> these <0411> countries

<0776>, and I will perform <06965> the oath < 07621> which <0834>
I

sware <07650> unto Abraham <085> thy father <01> ;



4 And I will make thy seed <02233> to multiply < 07235> as the

stars <03556> of heaven <08064>, and will give < 05414> unto thy
seed

<02233> all <03605> these <0411> countries < 0776>; and in thy
seed

<02233> shall all <03605> the nations <01471> of the earth
<0776> be

blessed <01288>;



5 Because <06119> that Abraham <085> obeyed < 08085> my voice

<06963>, and kept <08104> my charge <04931>, my commandments

<04687>, my statutes <02708>, and my laws < 08451>.



6. And Isaac <03327> dwelt <03427> in Gerar < 01642>:



7 And the men <0582> of the place <04725> asked < 07592> [him]
of

his wife <0802>; and he said <0559>, She [is] my sister <0269>:
for

he feared <03372> to say <0559>, [She is] my wife < 0802>; lest

<06435>, [said <0559> he], the men <0582> of the place <04725>

should kill <02026> me for Rebekah <07259>; because <03588> she

[was] fair <02896> to look <04758> upon.



8 And it came <01961> to pass, when <03588> he had been there

<08033> a long <0748> time <03117>, that Abimelech <040> king

<04428> of the Philistines <06430> looked < 08259> out at <01157>
a

window <02474>, and saw <07200>, and, behold < 02009>, Isaac
<03327>

[was] sporting <06711> with Rebekah <07259> his wife <0802>.



9 And Abimelech <040> called <07121> Isaac < 03327>, and said

<0559>, Behold <02009>, of a surety <0389> she [is] thy wife
<0802>:

and how <0349> saidst <0559> thou, She [is] my sister <0269>? And

Isaac <03327> said <0559> unto him, Because < 03588> I said
<0559>,

Lest <06435> I die <04191> for her.



10 And Abimelech <040> said <0559>, What < 04100> [is] this
<02063>

thou hast done <06213> unto us? one <0259> of the people <05971>

might lightly <04592> have lien <07901> with thy wife <0802>, and

thou shouldest have brought <0935> guiltiness <0817> upon us.



11 And Abimelech <040> charged <06680> all < 03605> [his] people

<05971>, saying <0559>, He that toucheth <05060> this <02088> man

<0376> or his wife <0802> shall surely be put to death <04194>.



12. Then Isaac <03327> sowed <02232> in that land <0776>, and

received <04672> in the same <01931> year < 08141> an hundredfold:

and the LORD <03068> blessed <01288> him.



13 And the man <0376> waxed great <01431>, and went <03212>

forward <01980>, and grew <01432> until <05704> he became <01431>

very <03966> great <01431>:



14 For he had possession <04735> of flocks <06629>, and
possession

<04735> of herds <01241>, and great <07227> store of servants

<05657>: and the Philistines <06430> envied < 07065> him.



15 For all <03605> the wells <0875> which < 0834> his father's
<01>

servants <05650> had digged <02658> in the days < 03117> of
Abraham

<085> his father <01>, the Philistines <06430> had stopped
<05640>

them, and filled <04390> them with earth <06083>.



16 And Abimelech <040> said <0559> unto Isaac < 03327>, Go
<03212>

from us; for thou art much <03966> mightier <06105> than we.



17 And Isaac <03327> departed <03212> thence < 08033>, and
pitched

<02583> his tent in the valley <05158> of Gerar < 01642>, and
dwelt

<03427> there <08033>.



18 And Isaac <03327> digged <02658> again < 07725> the wells
<0875>

of water <04325>, which <0834> they had digged < 02658> in the
days

<03117> of Abraham <085> his father <01>; for the Philistines

<06430> had stopped <05640> them after <0310> the death <04194>
of

Abraham <085>: and he called <07121> their names < 08034> after
the

names <08034> by which <0834> his father <01> had called <07121>

them.



19 And Isaac's <03327> servants <05650> digged < 02658> in the

valley <05158>, and found <04672> there <08033> a well <0875> of

springing <02416> water <04325>.



20 And the herdmen <07462> of Gerar <01642> did strive <07378>

with Isaac's <03327> herdmen <07462>, saying < 0559>, The water

<04325> [is] ours: and he called <07121> the name < 08034> of the

well <0875> Esek <06320>; because <03588> they strove <06229>
with

him.



21 And they digged <02658> another <0312> well < 0875>, and
strove

<07378> for that also <01571>: and he called < 07121> the name

<08034> of it Sitnah <07856>.



22 And he removed <06275> from thence <08033>, and digged
<02658>

another <0312> well <0875>; and for that they strove <07378> not:

and he called <07121> the name <08034> of it Rehoboth <07344>;
and

he said <0559>, For now <06258> the LORD <03068> hath made room

<07337> for us, and we shall be fruitful <06509> in the land
<0776>.



23 And he went <05927> up from thence <08033> to Beersheba
<0884>.



24 And the LORD <03068> appeared <07200> unto him the same
<01931>

night <03915>, and said <0559>, I [am] the God < 0430> of Abraham

<085> thy father <01>: fear <03372> not, for I [am] with thee,
and

will bless <01288> thee, and multiply <07235> thy seed <02233>
for

my servant <05650> Abraham's <085> sake <05668>.



25 And he builded <01129> an altar <04196> there <08033>, and

called <07121> upon the name <08034> of the LORD < 03068>, and

pitched <05186> his tent <0168> there <08033>: and there <08033>

Isaac's <03327> servants <05650> digged <03738> a well <0875>.



26. Then Abimelech <040> went <01980> to him from Gerar <01642>,

and Ahuzzath <0276> one of his friends <04828>, and Phichol
<06369>

the chief captain <08269> of his army <06635>.



27 And Isaac <03327> said <0559> unto them, Wherefore <04069>
come

<0935> ye to me, seeing <07200> ye hate <08130> me, and have sent

<07971> me away from you?



28 And they said <0559>, We saw <07200> certainly that the LORD

<03068> was with thee: and we said <0559>, Let there be now
<04994>

an oath <0423> betwixt <0996> us, [even] betwixt < 0996> us and
thee,

and let us make <03772> a covenant <01285> with thee;



29 That thou wilt do <06213> us no <03808> hurt < 07451>, as we

have not touched <05060> thee, and as we have done < 06213> unto
thee

nothing <07535> but good <02896>, and have < 01961> sent <07971>
thee

away in peace <07965>: thou [art] now <06258> the blessed
<01288> of

the LORD <03068>.



30 And he made <06213> them a feast <04960>, and they did eat

<0398> and drink <08354>.



31 And they rose <07925> up betimes <07925> in the morning

<01242>, and sware <07650> one <0376> to another <0312>: and
Isaac

<03327> sent <07971> them away, and they departed < 03212> from
him

in peace <07965>.



32 And it came <01961> to pass the same <01931> day <03117>,
that

Isaac's <03327> servants <05650> came <0935>, and told <05046>
him

concerning the well <0875> which <0834> they had digged <02658>,
and

said <0559> unto him, We have found <04672> water < 04325>.



33 And he called <07121> it Shebah <07656>: therefore the name

<08034> of the city <05892> [is] Beersheba < 0884> unto this
<02088>

day <03117>.



34. And Esau <06215> was forty <0705> years < 08141> old <01121>

when <03588> he took <03947> to wife <0802> Judith <03067> the

daughter <01323> of Beeri <0882> the Hittite < 02850>, and
Bashemath

<01315> the daughter <01323> of Elon <0356> the Hittite <02850>:



35 Which <0834> were a grief <04786> of mind < 07307> unto Isaac

<03327> and to Rebekah <07259>.



Genesis 27



1. And it came <01961> to pass, that when <03588> Isaac <03327>
was

old <02204>, and his eyes <05869> were dim < 03543>, so that he
could

not see <07200>, he called <07121> Esau <06215> his eldest
<01419>

son <01121>, and said <0559> unto him, My son < 01121>: and he
said

<0559> unto him, Behold <02009>, [here am] I.



2 And he said <0559>, Behold <02009> now < 04994>, I am old

<02204>, I know <03045> not the day <03117> of my death <04194>:



3 Now <06258> therefore take <05375>, I pray < 04994> thee, thy

weapons <03627>, thy quiver <08522> and thy bow < 07198>, and go

<03318> out to the field <07704>, and take < 06679> me [some]
venison

<06720>;



4 And make <06213> me savoury <04303> meat, such as I love
<0157>,

and bring <0935> [it] to me, that I may eat <0398>; that my soul

<05315> may bless <01288> thee before <02962> I die <04191>.



5 And Rebekah <07259> heard <08085> when < 03588> Isaac <03327>

spake <01696> to Esau <06215> his son <01121>. And Esau <06215>
went

<03212> to the field <07704> to hunt <06679> [for] venison
<06718>,

[and] to bring <0935> [it].



6. And Rebekah <07259> spake <0559> unto Jacob < 03290> her son

<01121>, saying <0559>, Behold <02009>, I heard <08085> thy
father

<01> speak <01696> unto Esau <06215> thy brother <0251>, saying

<0559>,



7 Bring <0935> me venison <06718>, and make < 06213> me savoury

<04303> meat, that I may eat <0398>, and bless < 01288> thee
before

<06440> the LORD <03068> before <06440> my death <04194>.



8 Now <06258> therefore, my son <01121>, obey < 08085> my voice

<06963> according to that which <0834> I command < 06680> thee.



9 Go <03212> now <04994> to the flock <06629>, and fetch
<03947>

me from thence <08033> two <08147> good <02896> kids <01423> of
the

goats <05795>; and I will make <06213> them savoury <04303> meat
for

thy father <01>, such as he loveth <0157>:



10 And thou shalt bring <0935> [it] to thy father < 01>, that he

may eat <0398>, and that he may bless <01288> thee before <06440>

his death <04194>.



11 And Jacob <03290> said <0559> to Rebekah < 07259> his mother

<0517>, Behold <02005>, Esau <06215> my brother <0251> [is] a
hairy

<08163> man <0376>, and I [am] a smooth <02509> man <0376>:



12 My father <01> peradventure <0194> will feel < 04959> me,
and I

shall seem to him as a deceiver <08591>; and I shall bring
<0935> a

curse <07045> upon me, and not a blessing <01293>.



13 And his mother <0517> said <0559> unto him, Upon me [be] thy

curse <07045>, my son <01121>: only obey <08085> my voice
<06963>,

and go <03212> fetch <03947> me [them].



14 And he went <03212>, and fetched <03947>, and brought <0935>

[them] to his mother <0517>: and his mother <0517> made <06213>

savoury <04303> meat, such as his father <01> loved <0157>.



15 And Rebekah <07259> took <03947> goodly < 02530> raiment
<0899>

of her eldest <01419> son <01121> Esau <06215>, which <0834>
[were]

with her in the house <01004>, and put <03847> them upon Jacob

<03290> her younger <06996> son <01121>:



16 And she put <03847> the skins <05785> of the kids <01423> of

the goats <05795> upon his hands <03027>, and upon the smooth

<02513> of his neck <06677>:



17 And she gave <05414> the savoury <04303> meat and the bread

<03899>, which <0834> she had prepared <06213>, into the hand

<03027> of her son <01121> Jacob <03290>.



18. And he came <0935> unto his father <01>, and said <0559>, My

father <01>: and he said <0559>, Here <02009> [am] I; who <04310>

[art] thou, my son <01121>?



19 And Jacob <03290> said <0559> unto his father <01>, I [am]
Esau

<06215> thy firstborn <01060>; I have done < 06213> according as
thou

badest <01696> me: arise <06965>, I pray <04994> thee, sit
<03427>

and eat <0398> of my venison <06718>, that thy soul <05315> may

bless <01288> me.



20 And Isaac <03327> said <0559> unto his son < 01121>, How
<04100>

[is it] that thou hast found <04672> [it] so quickly < 04116>, my
son

<01121>? And he said <0559>, Because <03588> the LORD <03068> thy

God <0430> brought <07136> [it] to me.



21 And Isaac <03327> said <0559> unto Jacob < 03290>, Come
<05066>

near <05066>, I pray <04994> thee, that I may feel <04184> thee,
my

son <01121>, whether thou [be] my very <02088> son <01121> Esau

<06215> or not.



22 And Jacob <03290> went <05066> near <05066> unto Isaac
<03327>

his father <01>; and he felt <04959> him, and said <0559>, The
voice

<06963> [is] Jacob's <03290> voice <06963>, but the hands <03027>

[are] the hands <03027> of Esau <06215>.



23 And he discerned <05234> him not, because <03588> his hands

<03027> were hairy <08163>, as his brother < 0251> Esau's <06215>

hands <03027>: so he blessed <01288> him.



24 And he said <0559>, [Art] thou my very <02088> son <01121>
Esau

<06215>? And he said <0559>, I [am].



25 And he said <0559>, Bring <05066> [it] near < 05066> to me,
and

I will eat <0398> of my son's <01121> venison < 06718>, that my
soul

<05315> may bless <01288> thee. And he brought < 05066> [it] near

<05066> to him, and he did eat <0398>: and he brought <0935> him

wine <03196>, and he drank <08354>.



26 And his father <01> Isaac <03327> said < 0559> unto him, Come

<05066> near <05066> now <04994>, and kiss < 05401> me, my son

<01121>.



27 And he came <05066> near <05066>, and kissed < 05401> him:
and

he smelled <07306> the smell <07381> of his raiment <0899>, and

blessed <01288> him, and said <0559>, See < 07200>, the smell
<07381>

of my son <01121> [is] as the smell <07381> of a field <07704>
which

<0834> the LORD <03068> hath blessed <01288>:



28 Therefore God <0430> give <05414> thee of the dew <02919> of

heaven <08064>, and the fatness <04924> of the earth <0776>, and

plenty <07230> of corn <01715> and wine <08492>:



29 Let people <05971> serve <05647> thee, and nations <03816>
bow

<07812> down <07812> to thee: be lord <01376> over thy brethren

<0251>, and let thy mother's <0517> sons <01121> bow <07812> down

<07812> to thee: cursed <0779> [be] every one that curseth <0779>

thee, and blessed <01288> [be] he that blesseth < 01288> thee.



30. And it came <01961> to pass, as soon <0834> as Isaac <03327>

had made an end <03615> of blessing <01293> Jacob < 03290>, and
Jacob

<03290> was yet <0389> scarce gone <03318> out from the presence

<06440> of Isaac <03327> his father <01>, that Esau <06215> his

brother <0251> came <0935> in from his hunting < 06718>.



31 And he also <01571> had made <06213> savoury < 04303> meat,
and

brought <0935> it unto his father <01>, and said < 0559> unto his

father <01>, Let my father <01> arise <06965>, and eat <0398> of
his

son's <01121> venison <06718>, that thy soul < 05315> may bless

<01288> me.



32 And Isaac <03327> his father <01> said < 0559> unto him, Who

<04310> [art] thou? And he said <0559>, I [am] thy son <01121>,
thy

firstborn <01060> Esau <06215>.



33 And Isaac <03327> trembled <02729> very < 01419> exceedingly

<01419>, and said <0559>, Who <04310>? where <0645> [is] he that

hath taken <06679> venison <06718>, and brought < 0935> [it] me,
and

I have eaten <0398> of all <03605> before < 02962> thou camest

<0935>, and have blessed <01288> him? yea < 01571>, [and] he
shall be

blessed <01288>.



34 And when Esau <06215> heard <08085> the words <01697> of his

father <01>, he cried <06817> with a great < 01419> and exceeding

<03966> bitter <04751> cry <06818>, and said <0559> unto his
father

<01>, Bless <01288> me, [even <01571>] me also <01571>, O my
father

<01>.



35 And he said <0559>, Thy brother <0251> came < 0935> with

subtilty <04820>, and hath taken <03947> away thy blessing
<01293>.



36 And he said <0559>, Is not he rightly <03588> named Jacob

<03290>? for he hath supplanted <06117> me these < 02088> two
<06471>

times <06471>: he took <03947> away my birthright < 01062>; and,

behold <02009>, now <06258> he hath taken < 03947> away my
blessing

<01293>. And he said <0559>, Hast thou not reserved <0680> a

blessing <01293> for me?



37 And Isaac <03327> answered <06030> and said < 0559> unto Esau

<06215>, Behold <02005>, I have made <07760> him thy lord
<01376>,

and all <03605> his brethren <0251> have I given < 05414> to him
for

servants <05650>; and with corn <01715> and wine < 08492> have I

sustained <05564> him: and what <04100> shall I do <06213> now

<0645> unto thee, my son <01121>?



38 And Esau <06215> said <0559> unto his father < 01>, Hast thou

but one <0259> blessing <01293>, my father <01> ? bless <01288>
me,

[even <01571>] me also <01571>, O my father <01> . And Esau
<06215>

lifted <05375> up his voice <06963>, and wept < 01058>.



39 And Isaac <03327> his father <01> answered < 06030> and said

<0559> unto him, Behold <02009>, thy dwelling < 04186> shall be
the

fatness <04924> of the earth <0776>, and of the dew <02919> of

heaven <08064> from above <05921>;



40 And by thy sword <02719> shalt thou live <02421>, and shalt

serve <05647> thy brother <0251>; and it shall come <01961> to
pass

when <0834> thou shalt have the dominion <07300>, that thou shalt

break <06561> his yoke <05923> from off <05921> thy neck <06677>.



41. And Esau <06215> hated <07852> Jacob < 03290> because
<05921> of

the blessing <01293> wherewith <0834> his father < 01> blessed

<01288> him: and Esau <06215> said <0559> in his heart <03820>,
The

days <03117> of mourning <060> for my father < 01> are at <07126>

hand <07126>; then will I slay <02026> my brother < 0251> Jacob

<03290>.



42 And these words <01697> of Esau <06215> her elder <01419>
son

<01121> were told <05046> to Rebekah <07259>: and she sent
<07971>

and called <07121> Jacob <03290> her younger < 06996> son <01121>,

and said <0559> unto him, Behold <02009>, thy brother <0251> Esau

<06215>, as touching thee, doth comfort <05162> himself,
[purposing]

to kill <02026> thee.



43 Now <06258> therefore, my son <01121>, obey < 08085> my voice

<06963>; and arise <06965>, flee <01272> thou to Laban <03837> my

brother <0251> to Haran <02771>;



44 And tarry <03427> with him a few <0259> days < 03117>, until
thy

brother's <0251> fury <02534> turn <07725> away;



45 Until <05704> thy brother's <0251> anger < 0639> turn <07725>

away from thee, and he forget <07911> [that] which < 0834> thou
hast

done <06213> to him: then I will send <07971>, and fetch <03947>

thee from thence <08033>: why <04100> should I be deprived
<07921>

also <01571> of you both <08147> in one <0259> day <03117>?



46 And Rebekah <07259> said <0559> to Isaac < 03327>, I am weary

<06973> of my life <02416> because <06440> of the daughters
<01363>

of Heth <02845>: if <0518> Jacob <03290> take <03947> a wife
<0802>

of the daughters <01363> of Heth <02845>, such as these <0428>

[which <0834> are] of the daughters <01363> of the land <0776>,
what

<04100> good shall my life <02416> do me?



Genesis 28



1. And Isaac <03327> called <07121> Jacob < 03290>, and blessed

<01288> him, and charged <06680> him, and said < 0559> unto him,
Thou

shalt not take <03947> a wife <0802> of the daughters <01363> of

Canaan <03667>.



2 Arise <06965>, go <03212> to Padanaram < 06307>, to the house

<01004> of Bethuel <01328> thy mother's <0517> father <01>; and
take

<03947> thee a wife <0802> from thence <08033> of the daughters

<01363> of Laban <03837> thy mother's <0517> brother <0251>.



3 And God <0410> Almighty <07706> bless < 01288> thee, and make

thee fruitful <06509>, and multiply <07235> thee, that thou
mayest

be a multitude <06951> of people <05971>;



4 And give <05414> thee the blessing <01293> of Abraham <085>,
to

thee, and to thy seed <02233> with thee; that thou mayest inherit

<03423> the land <0776> wherein thou art a stranger <04033>,
which

<0834> God <0430> gave <05414> unto Abraham < 085>.



5 And Isaac <03327> sent <07971> away Jacob < 03290>: and he
went

<03212> to Padanaram <06307> unto Laban <03837>, son <01121> of

Bethuel <01328> the Syrian <0761>, the brother < 0251> of Rebekah

<07259>, Jacob's <03290> and Esau's <06215> mother <0517>.



6. When Esau <06215> saw <07200> that Isaac < 03327> had blessed

<01288> Jacob <03290>, and sent <07971> him away to Padanaram

<06307>, to take <03947> him a wife <0802> from thence <08033>;
and

that as he blessed <01288> him he gave him a charge < 06680>,
saying

<0559>, Thou shalt not take <03947> a wife < 0802> of the
daughters

<01363> of Canaan <03667>;



7 And that Jacob <03290> obeyed <08085> his father <01> and his

mother <0517>, and was gone <03212> to Padanaram < 06307>;



8 And Esau <06215> seeing <07200> that the daughters <01363> of

Canaan <03667> pleased not Isaac <03327> his father <01>;



9 Then went <03212> Esau <06215> unto Ishmael < 03458>, and took

<03947> unto the wives <0802> which he had Mahalath <04258> the

daughter <01323> of Ishmael <03458> Abraham's < 085> son <01121>,
the

sister <0269> of Nebajoth <05032>, to be his wife < 0802>.



10. And Jacob <03290> went <03318> out from Beersheba <0884>,
and

went <03212> toward Haran <02771>.



11 And he lighted <06293> upon a certain place < 04725>, and

tarried <03885> there <08033> all <03885> night, because <03588>
the

sun <08121> was set <0935>; and he took <03947> of the stones
<068>

of that place <04725>, and put <07760> [them for] his pillows

<04763>, and lay <07901> down in that place < 04725> to sleep

<07901>.



12 And he dreamed <02492>, and behold <02009> a ladder <05551>
set

<05324> up on the earth <0776>, and the top < 07218> of it reached

<05060> to heaven <08064>: and behold <02009> the angels <04397>
of

God <0430> ascending <05927> and descending < 03381> on it.



13 And, behold <02009>, the LORD <03068> stood < 05324> above

<05921> it, and said <0559>, I [am] the LORD < 03068> God <0430>
of

Abraham <085> thy father <01>, and the God < 0430> of Isaac
<03327>:

the land <0776> whereon thou liest <07901>, to thee will I give

<05414> it, and to thy seed <02233>;



14 And thy seed <02233> shall be as the dust <06083> of the
earth

<0776>, and thou shalt spread <06555> abroad < 06555> to the west

<03220>, and to the east <06924>, and to the north <06828>, and
to

the south <05045>: and in thee and in thy seed <02233> shall all

<03605> the families <04940> of the earth <0127> be blessed
<01288>.



15 And, behold <02009>, I [am] with thee, and will keep <08104>

thee in all <03605> [places] whither <0834> thou goest <03212>,
and

will bring <07725> thee again <07725> into < 0413> this <02063>
land

<0127>; for I will not leave <05800> thee, until I have done
<06213>

[that] which <0834> I have spoken <01696> to thee of.



16. And Jacob <03290> awaked <03364> out of his sleep <08142>,
and

he said <0559>, Surely <0403> the LORD <03068> is in this <02088>

place <04725>; and I knew <03045> [it] not.



17 And he was afraid <03372>, and said <0559>, How <04100>

dreadful <03372> [is] this <02088> place <04725> ! this <02088>
[is]

none <0369> other but the house <01004> of God < 0430>, and this

<02088> [is] the gate <08179> of heaven <08064>.



18 And Jacob <03290> rose <07925> up early < 07925> in the
morning

<01242>, and took <03947> the stone <068> that he had put <07760>

[for] his pillows <04763>, and set <07760> it up [for] a pillar

<04676>, and poured <03332> oil <08081> upon the top <07218> of
it.



19 And he called <07121> the name <08034> of that place <04725>

Bethel <01008>: but the name <08034> of that city < 05892> [was

called] Luz <03870> at the first <07223>.



20 And Jacob <03290> vowed <05087> a vow < 05088>, saying
<0559>,

If <0518> God <0430> will be with me, and will keep <08104> me in

this <02088> way <01870> that I go <01980>, and will give
<05414> me

bread <03899> to eat <0398>, and raiment <0899> to put <03847>
on,



21 So that I come <07725> again <07725> to my father's <01>
house

<01004> in peace <07965>; then shall the LORD < 03068> be my God

<0430>:



22 And this <02063> stone <068>, which <0834> I have set
<07760>

[for] a pillar <04676>, shall be God's <0430> house <01004>: and
of

all <03605> that thou shalt give <05414> me I will surely give
the

tenth <06237> unto thee.



Genesis 29



1. Then Jacob <03290> went on his journey, and came < 03212> into

<0413> the land <0776> of the people <01121> of the east <06924>.



2 And he looked <07200>, and behold <02009> a well <0875> in
the

field <07704>, and, lo <02009>, there <08033> [were] three
<07969>

flocks <05739> of sheep <06629> lying <07257> by it; for out of
that

well <0875> they watered <08248> the flocks < 05739>: and a great

<01419> stone <068> [was] upon the well's <0875> mouth <06310>.



3 And thither <08033> were all <03605> the flocks <05739>
gathered

<0622>: and they rolled <01556> the stone <068> from the well's

<0875> mouth <06310>, and watered <08248> the sheep <06629>, and
put

<07725> the stone <068> again <07725> upon the well's <0875>
mouth

<06310> in his place <04725>.



4 And Jacob <03290> said <0559> unto them, My brethren <0251>,

whence <0370> [be] ye? And they said <0559>, Of Haran <02771>
[are]

we.



5 And he said <0559> unto them, Know <03045> ye Laban <03837>
the

son <01121> of Nahor <05152>? And they said < 0559>, We know
<03045>

[him].



6 And he said <0559> unto them, [Is] he well <07965> ? And they

said <0559>, [He is] well <07965>: and, behold < 02009>, Rachel

<07354> his daughter <01323> cometh <0935> with the sheep
<06629>.



7 And he said <0559>, Lo <02005>, [it is] yet < 05750> high
<01419>

day <03117>, neither <03808> [is it] time < 06256> that the cattle

<04735> should be gathered <0622> together: water < 04325> ye the

sheep <06629>, and go <03212> [and] feed <07462> [them].



8 And they said <0559>, We cannot, until <05704> all <03605>
the

flocks <05739> be gathered <0622> together, and [till] they roll

<01556> the stone <068> from the well's <0875> mouth <06310>;
then

we water <04325> the sheep <06629>.



9. And while he yet <05750> spake <01696> with them, Rachel
<07354>

came <0935> with her father's <01> sheep <06629> : for she kept

<07462> them.



10 And it came <01961> to pass, when <0834> Jacob <03290> saw

<07200> Rachel <07354> the daughter <01323> of Laban <03837> his

mother's <0517> brother <0251>, and the sheep < 06629> of Laban

<03837> his mother's <0517> brother <0251>, that Jacob <03290>
went

<05066> near <05066>, and rolled <01556> the stone <068> from the

well's <0875> mouth <06310>, and watered <08248> the flock
<06629>

of Laban <03837> his mother's <0517> brother < 0251>.



11 And Jacob <03290> kissed <05401> Rachel < 07354>, and lifted

<05375> up his voice <06963>, and wept <01058>.



12 And Jacob <03290> told <05046> Rachel < 07354> that he [was]
her

father's <01> brother <0251>, and that he [was] Rebekah's <07259>

son <01121>: and she ran <07323> and told < 05046> her father
<01>.



13 And it came <01961> to pass, when Laban <03837> heard
<08085>

the tidings <08088> of Jacob <03290> his sister's < 0269> son

<01121>, that he ran <07323> to meet <07125> him, and embraced

<02263> him, and kissed <05401> him, and brought < 0935> him to
his

house <01004>. And he told <05608> Laban <03837> all <03605>
these

<0428> things <01697>.



14 And Laban <03837> said <0559> to him, Surely < 0389> thou
[art]

my bone <06106> and my flesh <01320>. And he abode <03427> with
him

the space <03117> of a month <02320>.



15. And Laban <03837> said <0559> unto Jacob < 03290>, Because

<03588> thou [art] my brother <0251>, shouldest thou therefore
serve

<05647> me for nought <02600>? tell <05046> me, what <04100>
[shall]

thy wages <04909> [be]?



16 And Laban <03837> had two <08147> daughters < 01363>: the
name

<08034> of the elder <01419> [was] Leah <03812>, and the name

<08034> of the younger <06996> [was] Rachel < 07354>.



17 Leah <03812> [was] tender <07390> eyed < 05869>; but Rachel

<07354> was beautiful and well <03303> favoured < 04758>.



18 And Jacob <03290> loved <0157> Rachel < 07354>; and said
<0559>,

I will serve <05647> thee seven <07651> years < 08141> for Rachel

<07354> thy younger <06996> daughter <01323>.



19 And Laban <03837> said <0559>, [It is] better <02896> that I

give <05414> her to thee, than that I should give < 05414> her to

another <0312> man <0376>: abide <03427> with me.



20 And Jacob <03290> served <05647> seven < 07651> years <08141>

for Rachel <07354>; and they seemed unto him [but] a few <0259>
days

<03117>, for the love <0160> he had to her.



21 And Jacob <03290> said <0559> unto Laban < 03837>, Give
<03051>

[me] my wife <0802>, for my days <03117> are fulfilled <04390>,
that

I may go <0935> in unto her.



22 And Laban <03837> gathered <0622> together all <03605> the
men

<0582> of the place <04725>, and made <06213> a feast <04960>.



23 And it came <01961> to pass in the evening < 06153>, that he

took <03947> Leah <03812> his daughter <01323>, and brought
<0935>

her to him; and he went <0935> in unto her.



24 And Laban <03837> gave <05414> unto his daughter <01323>
Leah

<03812> Zilpah <02153> his maid <08198> [for] an handmaid
<08198>.



25 And it came <01961> to pass, that in the morning < 01242>,

behold <02009>, it [was] Leah <03812>: and he said <0559> to
Laban

<03837>, What <04100> [is] this <02063> thou hast done <06213>
unto

me? did not I serve <05647> with thee for Rachel < 07354>?
wherefore

then hast thou beguiled <07411> me?



26 And Laban <03837> said <0559>, It must not be so <03651>
done

<06213> in our country <04725>, to give <05414> the younger
<06810>

before <06440> the firstborn <01067>.



27 Fulfil <04390> her week <07620>, and we will give <05414>
thee

this <02063> also <01571> for the service < 05656> which <0834>
thou

shalt serve <05647> with me yet <05750> seven < 07651> other
<0312>

years <08141>.



28 And Jacob <03290> did <06213> so <03651>, and fulfilled
<04390>

her week <07620>: and he gave <05414> him Rachel < 07354> his

daughter <01323> to wife <0802> also.



29 And Laban <03837> gave <05414> to Rachel < 07354> his
daughter

<01323> Bilhah <01090> his handmaid <08198> to be her maid
<08198>.



30 And he went <0935> in also <01571> unto Rachel <07354>, and
he

loved <0157> also <01571> Rachel <07354> more than Leah <03812>,
and

served <05647> with him yet <05750> seven < 07651> other <0312>
years

<08141>.



31. And when the LORD <03068> saw <07200> that Leah <03812>
[was]

hated <08130>, he opened <06605> her womb < 07358>: but Rachel

<07354> [was] barren <06135>.



32 And Leah <03812> conceived <02030>, and bare < 03205> a son

<01121>, and she called <07121> his name <08034> Reuben <07205>:
for

she said <0559>, Surely <03588> the LORD <03068> hath looked
<07200>

upon my affliction <06040>; now <06258> therefore < 03588> my
husband

<0376> will love <0157> me.



33 And she conceived <02030> again <05750>, and bare <03205> a
son

<01121>; and said <0559>, Because <03588> the LORD <03068> hath

heard <08085> that I [was] hated <08130>, he hath therefore
<01571>

given <05414> me this <02088> [son] also <01571> : and she called

<07121> his name <08034> Simeon <08095>.



34 And she conceived <02030> again <05750>, and bare <03205> a
son

<01121>; and said <0559>, Now this time <06471> will my husband

<0376> be joined <03867> unto me, because < 03588> I have born

<03205> him three <07969> sons <01121>: therefore was his name

<08034> called <07121> Levi <03878>.



35 And she conceived <02030> again <05750>, and bare <03205> a
son

<01121>: and she said <0559>, Now will I praise < 03034> the LORD

<03068>: therefore she called <07121> his name < 08034> Judah

<03063>; and left <05975> bearing <03205>.



Genesis 30



1. And when Rachel <07354> saw <07200> that she bare <03205>
Jacob

<03290> no <0369> children, Rachel <07354> envied <07065> her
sister

<0269>; and said <0559> unto Jacob <03290>, Give <03051> me
children

<01121>, or else <0369> I die <04191>.



2 And Jacob's <03290> anger <0639> was kindled < 02734> against

Rachel <07354>: and he said <0559>, [Am] I in God's <0430> stead

<08478>, who <0834> hath withheld <04513> from thee the fruit

<06529> of the womb <0990>?



3 And she said <0559>, Behold <02009> my maid < 0519> Bilhah

<01090>, go <0935> in unto her; and she shall bear <03205> upon
my

knees <01290>, that I may also <01571> have children <01129> by
her.



4 And she gave <05414> him Bilhah <01090> her handmaid <08198>
to

wife <0802>: and Jacob <03290> went <0935> in unto her.



5 And Bilhah <01090> conceived <02030>, and bare <03205> Jacob

<03290> a son <01121>.



6 And Rachel <07354> said <0559>, God <0430> hath judged
<01777>

me, and hath also <01571> heard <08085> my voice < 06963>, and
hath

given <05414> me a son <01121>: therefore called < 07121> she his

name <08034> Dan <01835>.



7 And Bilhah <01090> Rachel's <07354> maid < 08198> conceived

<02030> again <05750>, and bare <03205> Jacob <03290> a second

<08145> son <01121>.



8 And Rachel <07354> said <0559>, With great < 0430> wrestlings

<05319> have I wrestled <06617> with my sister < 0269>, and I have

prevailed <03201>: and she called <07121> his name <08034>
Naphtali

<05321>.



9 When Leah <03812> saw <07200> that she had left <05975>
bearing

<03205>, she took <03947> Zilpah <02153> her maid <08198>, and
gave

<05414> her Jacob <03290> to wife <0802>.



10 And Zilpah <02153> Leah's <03812> maid < 08198> bare <03205>

Jacob <03290> a son <01121>.



11 And Leah <03812> said <0559>, A troop < 01409> cometh <0935>:

and she called <07121> his name <08034> Gad < 01410>.



12 And Zilpah <02153> Leah's <03812> maid < 08198> bare <03205>

Jacob <03290> a second <08145> son <01121>.



13 And Leah <03812> said <0559>, Happy <0837> am I, for the

daughters <01363> will call <0833> me blessed < 0833>: and she
called

<07121> his name <08034> Asher <0836>.



14. And Reuben <07205> went <03212> in the days < 03117> of wheat

<02406> harvest <07105>, and found <04672> mandrakes <01736> in
the

field <07704>, and brought <0935> them unto his mother <0517>
Leah

<03812>. Then Rachel <07354> said <0559> to Leah <03812>, Give

<05414> me, I pray <04994> thee, of thy son's < 01121> mandrakes

<01736>.



15 And she said <0559> unto her, [Is it] a small < 04592> matter

that thou hast taken <03947> my husband <0376>? and wouldest thou

take <03947> away my son's <01121> mandrakes < 01736> also
<01571>?

And Rachel <07354> said <0559>, Therefore < 03651> he shall lie

<07901> with thee to night <03915> for thy son's < 01121>
mandrakes

<01736>.



16 And Jacob <03290> came <0935> out of the field <07704> in
the

evening <06153>, and Leah <03812> went <03318> out to meet
<07125>

him, and said <0559>, Thou must come <0935> in unto me; for
surely I

have hired <07936> thee with my son's <01121> mandrakes <01736>.
And

he lay <07901> with her that night <03915>.



17 And God <0430> hearkened <08085> unto Leah < 03812>, and she

conceived <02030>, and bare <03205> Jacob < 03290> the fifth
<02549>

son <01121>.



18 And Leah <03812> said <0559>, God <0430> hath given <05414>
me

my hire <07937>, because <0834> I have given < 05414> my maiden

<08198> to my husband <0376>: and she called < 07121> his name

<08034> Issachar <03485>.



19 And Leah <03812> conceived <02030> again < 05750>, and bare

<03205> Jacob <03290> the sixth <08345> son < 01121>.



20 And Leah <03812> said <0559>, God <0430> hath endued
<02064> me

[with] a good <02896> dowry <02065>; now <06471> will my husband

<0376> dwell <02082> with me, because <03588> I have born <03205>

him six <08337> sons <01121>: and she called < 07121> his name

<08034> Zebulun <02074>.



21 And afterwards <0310> she bare <03205> a daughter <01323>,
and

called <07121> her name <08034> Dinah <01783>.



22 And God <0430> remembered <02142> Rachel < 07354>, and God

<0430> hearkened <08085> to her, and opened < 06605> her womb

<07358>.



23 And she conceived <02030>, and bare <03205> a son <01121>;
and

said <0559>, God <0430> hath taken <0622> away my reproach
<02781>:



24 And she called <07121> his name <08034> Joseph <03130>; and

said <0559>, The LORD <03068> shall add <03254> to me another
<0312>

son <01121>.



25. And it came <01961> to pass, when <0834> Rachel <07354> had

born <03205> Joseph <03130>, that Jacob <03290> said <0559> unto

Laban <03837>, Send <07971> me away, that I may go <03212> unto
mine

own place <04725>, and to my country <0776>.



26 Give <05414> [me] my wives <0802> and my children <03206>,
for

whom <0834> I have served <05647> thee, and let me go <03212>:
for

thou knowest <03045> my service <05656> which < 0834> I have done

<05647> thee.



27 And Laban <03837> said <0559> unto him, I pray <04994> thee,
if

<0518> I have found <04672> favour <02580> in thine eyes <05869>,

[tarry: for] I have learned <05172> by experience < 05172> that
the

LORD <03068> hath blessed <01288> me for thy sake < 01558>.



28 And he said <0559>, Appoint <05344> me thy wages <07939>,
and I

will give <05414> [it].



29 And he said <0559> unto him, Thou knowest <03045> how I have

served <05647> thee, and how thy cattle <04735> was with me.



30 For [it was] little <04592> which <0834> thou hadst before

<06440> I [came], and it is [now] increased <06555> unto a
multitude

<07230>; and the LORD <03068> hath blessed < 01288> thee since my

coming <07272>: and now <06258> when <04970> shall I provide
<06213>

for mine own house <01004> also <01571>?



31 And he said <0559>, What <04100> shall I give <05414> thee?
And

Jacob <03290> said <0559>, Thou shalt not give < 05414> me any

<03972> thing <01697>: if <0518> thou wilt do <06213> this
<02088>

thing <01697> for me, I will again <07725> feed < 07462> [and]
keep

<08104> thy flock <06629>:



32 I will pass <05674> through all <03605> thy flock <06629> to

day <03117>, removing <05493> from thence < 08033> all <03605> the

speckled <05348> and spotted <02921> cattle < 07716>, and all
<03605>

the brown <02345> cattle <07716> among the sheep < 03775>, and the

spotted <02921> and speckled <05348> among the goats <05795>: and

[of such] shall be my hire <07937>.



33 So shall my righteousness <06666> answer <06030> for me in
time

<03117> to come <04279>, when <03588> it shall come <0935> for my

hire <07937> before thy face <06440>: every < 03605> one <03605>
that

[is] not speckled <05348> and spotted <02921> among the goats

<05795>, and brown <02345> among the sheep < 03775>, that shall be

counted stolen <01589> with me.



34 And Laban <03837> said <0559>, Behold < 02005>, I would
<03863>

it might be according to thy word <01697>.



35 And he removed <05493> that day <03117> the he goats <08495>

that were ringstraked <06124> and spotted <02921>, and all
<03605>

the she goats <05795> that were speckled <05348> and spotted

<02921>, [and] every <03605> one that had [some] white <03836> in

it, and all <03605> the brown <02345> among the sheep <03775>,
and

gave <05414> [them] into the hand <03027> of his sons <01121>.



36 And he set <07760> three <07969> days < 03117>' journey
<01870>

betwixt <0996> himself and Jacob <03290>: and Jacob <03290> fed

<07462> the rest <03498> of Laban's <03837> flocks <06629>.



37. And Jacob <03290> took <03947> him rods < 04731> of green

<03892> poplar <03839>, and of the hazel <03869> and chesnut
<06196>

tree; and pilled <06478> white <03836> strakes < 06479> in them,
and

made the white <03836> appear <04286> which < 0834> [was] in the
rods

<04731>.



38 And he set <03322> the rods <04731> which < 0834> he had
pilled

<06478> before <05227> the flocks <06629> in the gutters <07298>
in

the watering <04325> troughs <08268> when < 03588> the flocks
<06629>

came <0935> to drink <08354>, that they should conceive <03179>
when

they came <0935> to drink <08354>.



39 And the flocks <06629> conceived <03179> before <0413> the
rods

<04731>, and brought <03205> forth <03209> cattle <06629>

ringstraked <06124>, speckled <05348>, and spotted <02921>.



40 And Jacob <03290> did separate <06504> the lambs <03775>,
and

set <05414> the faces <06440> of the flocks < 06629> toward <0413>

the ringstraked <06124>, and all <03605> the brown <02345> in the

flock <06629> of Laban <03837>; and he put < 07896> his own flocks

<05739> by themselves <0905>, and put <07896> them not unto
Laban's

<03837> cattle <06629>.



41 And it came <01961> to pass, whensoever <03605> the stronger

<07194> cattle <06629> did conceive <03179>, that Jacob <03290>
laid

<07760> the rods <04731> before the eyes <05869> of the cattle

<06629> in the gutters <07298>, that they might conceive <03179>

among the rods <04731>.



42 But when the cattle <06629> were feeble <05848>, he put
<07760>

[them] not in: so the feebler <05848> were Laban's < 03837>, and
the

stronger <07194> Jacob's <03290>.



43 And the man <0376> increased <06555> exceedingly <03966>,
and

had <01961> much <07227> cattle <06629>, and maidservants
<08198>,

and menservants <05650>, and camels <01581>, and asses <02543>.



Genesis 31



1. And he heard <08085> the words <01697> of Laban's <03837>
sons

<01121>, saying <0559>, Jacob <03290> hath taken <03947> away all

<03605> that [was] our father's <01>; and of [that] which <0834>

[was] our father's <01> hath he gotten <04069> all <03605> this

<02088> glory <03519>.



2 And Jacob <03290> beheld <07200> the countenance <06440> of

Laban <03837>, and, behold <02009>, it [was] not toward him as

before.



3 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Jacob < 03290>, Return

<07725> unto the land <0776> of thy fathers <01> , and to thy
kindred

<04138>; and I will be with thee.



4 And Jacob <03290> sent <07971> and called < 07121> Rachel
<07354>

and Leah <03812> to the field <07704> unto his flock <06629>,



5 And said <0559> unto them, I see <07200> your father's <01>

countenance <06440>, that it [is] not toward me as before; but
the

God <0430> of my father <01> hath been <01961> with me.



6 And ye know <03045> that with all <03605> my power <03581> I

have served <05647> your father <01>.



7 And your father <01> hath deceived <02048> me, and changed

<02498> my wages <04909> ten <06235> times < 04489>; but God
<0430>

suffered <05414> him not to hurt <07489> me.



8 If <0518> he said <0559> thus <03541>, The speckled <05348>

shall be thy wages <07939>; then all <03605> the cattle <06629>
bare

<03205> speckled <05348>: and if <0518> he said <0559> thus
<03541>,

The ringstraked <06124> shall be thy hire <07937>; then bare
<03205>

all <03605> the cattle <06629> ringstraked < 06124>.



9 Thus God <0430> hath taken <05337> away the cattle <04735> of

your father <01>, and given <05414> [them] to me.



10 And it came <01961> to pass at the time <06256> that the
cattle

<06629> conceived <03179>, that I lifted <05375> up mine eyes

<05869>, and saw <07200> in a dream <02472>, and, behold <02009>,

the rams <06260> which leaped <05927> upon the cattle <06629>
[were]

ringstraked <06124>, speckled <05348>, and grisled <01261>.



11 And the angel <04397> of God <0430> spake < 0559> unto me in
a

dream <02472>, [saying], Jacob <03290>: And I said <0559>, Here

<02009> [am] I.



12 And he said <0559>, Lift <05375> up now < 04994> thine eyes

<05869>, and see <07200>, all <03605> the rams <06260> which leap

<05927> upon the cattle <06629> [are] ringstraked < 06124>,
speckled

<05348>, and grisled <01261>: for I have seen < 07200> all <03605>

that Laban <03837> doeth <06213> unto thee.



13 I [am] the God <0410> of Bethel <01008>, where <0834> thou

anointedst <04886> the pillar <04676>, [and] where <0834> thou

vowedst <05087> a vow <05088> unto me: now < 06258> arise <06965>,

get <03318> thee out from this <02063> land < 0776>, and return

<07725> unto the land <0776> of thy kindred < 04138>.



14 And Rachel <07354> and Leah <03812> answered < 06030> and
said

<0559> unto him, [Is there] yet <05750> any portion <02506> or

inheritance <05159> for us in our father's <01> house <01004>?



15 Are we not counted <02803> of him strangers < 05237>? for he

hath sold <04376> us, and hath quite devoured <0398> also <01571>

our money <03701>.



16 For all <03605> the riches <06239> which < 0834> God <0430>
hath

taken <05337> from our father <01>, that [is] ours, and our

children's <01121>: now <06258> then, whatsoever God <0430> hath

said <0559> unto thee, do <06213>.



17. Then Jacob <03290> rose <06965> up, and set < 05375> his sons

<01121> and his wives <0802> upon camels <01581> ;



18 And he carried <05090> away all <03605> his cattle <04735>,
and

all <03605> his goods <07399> which <0834> he had gotten <07408>,

the cattle <04735> of his getting <07075>, which < 0834> he had

gotten <07408> in Padanaram <06307>, for to go < 0935> to Isaac

<03327> his father <01> in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>.



19 And Laban <03837> went <01980> to shear < 01494> his sheep

<06629>: and Rachel <07354> had stolen <01589> the images <08655>

that [were] her father's <01>.



20 And Jacob <03290> stole <01589> away unawares to Laban
<03837>

the Syrian <0761>, in that he told <05046> him not that he fled

<01272>.



21 So he fled <01272> with all <03605> that he had; and he rose

<06965> up, and passed <05674> over <05674> the river <05104>,
and

set <07760> his face <06440> [toward] the mount < 02022> Gilead

<01568>.



22 And it was told <05046> Laban <03837> on the third <07992>
day

<03117> that Jacob <03290> was fled <01272>.



23 And he took <03947> his brethren <0251> with him, and
pursued

<07291> after <0310> him seven <07651> days < 03117>' journey

<01870>; and they overtook <01692> him in the mount <02022>
Gilead

<01568>.



24 And God <0430> came <0935> to Laban <03837> the Syrian
<0761>

in a dream <02472> by night <03915>, and said < 0559> unto him,
Take

heed <08104> that thou speak <01696> not to Jacob < 03290> either

good <02896> or <05704> bad <07451>.



25. Then Laban <03837> overtook <05381> Jacob < 03290>. Now Jacob

<03290> had pitched <08628> his tent <0168> in the mount <02022>:

and Laban <03837> with his brethren <0251> pitched <08628> in the

mount <02022> of Gilead <01568>.



26 And Laban <03837> said <0559> to Jacob < 03290>, What <04100>

hast thou done <06213>, that thou hast stolen <01589> away
unawares

to me, and carried <05090> away my daughters <01363>, as captives

<07617> [taken] with the sword <02719>?



27 Wherefore <04100> didst thou flee <01272> away secretly

<02244>, and steal <01589> away from me; and didst not tell
<05046>

me, that I might have sent <07971> thee away with mirth < 08057>,
and

with songs <07892>, with tabret <08596>, and with harp <03658>?



28 And hast not suffered <05203> me to kiss <05401> my sons

<01121> and my daughters <01363>? thou hast now < 06258> done

foolishly <05528> in [so] doing <06213>.



29 It is in the power <0410> of my hand <03027> to do <06213>
you

hurt <07451>: but the God <0430> of your father < 01> spake <0559>

unto me yesternight <0570>, saying <0559>, Take thou heed <08104>

that thou speak <01696> not to Jacob <03290> either good <02896>
or

<05704> bad <07451>.



30 And now <06258>, [though] thou wouldest needs be gone
<01980>,

because <03588> thou sore longedst <03700> after thy father's
<01>

house <01004>, [yet] wherefore <04100> hast thou stolen <01589>
my

gods <0430>?



31 And Jacob <03290> answered <06030> and said < 0559> to Laban

<03837>, Because <03588> I was afraid <03372>: for I said <0559>,

Peradventure <06435> thou wouldest take <01497> by force <01497>
thy

daughters <01363> from me.



32 With whomsoever <0834> thou findest <04672> thy gods <0430>,

let him not live <02421>: before <05048> our brethren <0251>
discern

<05234> thou what <04100> [is] thine with me, and take <03947>
[it]

to thee. For Jacob <03290> knew <03045> not that Rachel <07354>
had

stolen <01589> them.



33 And Laban <03837> went <0935> into Jacob's < 03290> tent
<0168>,

and into Leah's <03812> tent <0168>, and into the two <08147>

maidservants <0519>' tents <0168>; but he found < 04672> [them]
not.

Then went <03318> he out of Leah's <03812> tent < 0168>, and
entered

<0935> into Rachel's <07354> tent <0168>.



34 Now Rachel <07354> had taken <03947> the images <08655>, and

put <07760> them in the camel's <01581> furniture < 03733>, and
sat

<03427> upon them. And Laban <03837> searched < 04959> all <03605>

the tent <0168>, but found <04672> [them] not.



35 And she said <0559> to her father <01>, Let it not displease

<02734> my lord <0113> that I cannot rise < 06965> up before
<06440>

thee; for the custom <01870> of women <0802> [is] upon me. And he

searched <02664>, but found <04672> not the images <08655>.



36. And Jacob <03290> was wroth <02734>, and chode <07378> with

Laban <03837>: and Jacob <03290> answered < 06030> and said
<0559> to

Laban <03837>, What <04100> [is] my trespass < 06588>? what
<04100>

[is] my sin <02403>, that thou hast so hotly <01814> pursued
<01814>

after <0310> me?



37 Whereas <03588> thou hast searched <04959> all <03605> my
stuff

<03627>, what <04100> hast thou found <04672> of all <03605> thy

household <01004> stuff <03627>? set <07760> [it] here <03541>

before <05048> my brethren <0251> and thy brethren <0251>, that
they

may judge <03198> betwixt <0996> us both <08147> .



38 This <02088> twenty <06242> years <08141> [have] I [been]
with

thee; thy ewes <07353> and thy she goats <05795> have not cast

<07921> their young, and the rams <0352> of thy flock <06629>
have I

not eaten <0398>.



39 That which was torn <02966> [of beasts <02966>] I brought

<0935> not unto thee; I bare <02308> the loss < 02398> of it; of
my

hand <03027> didst thou require <01245> it, [whether] stolen
<01589>

by day <03117>, or stolen <01589> by night < 03915>.



40 [Thus] I was; in the day <03117> the drought < 02721>
consumed

<0398> me, and the frost <07140> by night < 03915>; and my sleep

<08142> departed <05074> from mine eyes <05869>.



41 Thus <02088> have I been twenty <06242> years <08141> in thy

house <01004>; I served <05647> thee fourteen years <08141> for
thy

two <08147> daughters <01363>, and six <08337> years <08141> for
thy

cattle <06629>: and thou hast changed <02498> my wages <04909>
ten

<06235> times <04489>.



42 Except <03884> the God <0430> of my father < 01>, the God
<0430>

of Abraham <085>, and the fear <06343> of Isaac < 03327>, had been

<01961> with me, surely <03588> thou hadst sent < 07971> me away
now

<06258> empty <07387>. God <0430> hath seen < 07200> mine
affliction

<06040> and the labour <03018> of my hands < 03709>, and rebuked

<03198> [thee] yesternight <0570>.



43. And Laban <03837> answered <06030> and said < 0559> unto
Jacob

<03290>, [These] daughters <01363> [are] my daughters <01363>,
and

[these] children <01121> [are] my children <01121>, and [these]

cattle <06629> [are] my cattle <06629>, and all < 03605> that thou

seest <07200> [is] mine: and what <04100> can I do <06213> this
day

<03117> unto these my daughters <01363>, or < 0176> unto their

children <01121> which <0834> they have born < 03205>?



44 Now <06258> therefore come <03212> thou, let us make
<03772> a

covenant <01285>, I and thou; and let it be for a witness <05707>

between <0996> me and thee.



45 And Jacob <03290> took <03947> a stone < 068>, and set
<07311>

it up [for] a pillar <04676>.



46 And Jacob <03290> said <0559> unto his brethren <0251>,
Gather

<03950> stones <068>; and they took <03947> stones <068>, and
made

<06213> an heap <01530>: and they did eat <0398> there <08033>
upon

the heap <01530>.



47 And Laban <03837> called <07121> it Jegarsahadutha <03026>:
but

Jacob <03290> called <07121> it Galeed <01567>.



48 And Laban <03837> said <0559>, This <02088> heap <01530>
[is] a

witness <05707> between <0996> me and thee this day <03117>.

Therefore was the name <08034> of it called <07121> Galeed
<01567>;



49 And Mizpah <04709>; for he said <0559>, The LORD <03068>
watch

<06822> between <0996> me and thee, when <03588> we are absent

<05641> one <0376> from another <07453>.



50 If <0518> thou shalt afflict <06031> my daughters <01363>,
or

if <0518> thou shalt take <03947> [other] wives < 0802> beside

<05921> my daughters <01363>, no <03808> man <0376> [is] with us;

see <07200>, God <0430> [is] witness <05707> betwixt <0996> me
and

thee.



51 And Laban <03837> said <0559> to Jacob < 03290>, Behold
<02009>

this <02088> heap <01530>, and behold <02009> [this] pillar
<04676>,

which <0834> I have cast <03384> betwixt <0996> me and thee;



52 This <02088> heap <01530> [be] witness < 05707>, and [this

<02088>] pillar <04676> [be] witness <05711>, that I will not
pass

<05674> over <05674> this <02088> heap < 01530> to thee, and that

thou shalt not pass <05674> over <05674> this < 02088> heap
<01530>

and this <02063> pillar <04676> unto me, for harm < 07451>.



53 The God <0430> of Abraham <085>, and the God < 0430> of Nahor

<05152>, the God <0430> of their father <01>, judge <08199>
betwixt

<0996> us. And Jacob <03290> sware <07650> by the fear <06343> of

his father <01> Isaac <03327>.



54 Then Jacob <03290> offered <02076> sacrifice < 02077> upon
the

mount <02022>, and called <07121> his brethren < 0251> to eat
<0398>

bread <03899>: and they did eat <0398> bread < 03899>, and tarried

<03885> all <03885> night in the mount <02022>.



55 And early <07925> in the morning <01242> Laban <03837> rose

<07925> up, and kissed <05401> his sons <01121> and his daughters

<01363>, and blessed <01288> them: and Laban < 03837> departed

<03212>, and returned <07725> unto his place < 04725>.



Genesis 32



1. And Jacob <03290> went <01980> on his way < 01870>, and the

angels <04397> of God <0430> met <06293> him.



2 And when <0834> Jacob <03290> saw <07200> them, he said
<0559>,

This <02088> [is] God's <0430> host <04264>: and he called
<07121>

the name <08034> of that place <04725> Mahanaim < 04266>.



3. And Jacob <03290> sent <07971> messengers < 04397> before
<06440>

him to Esau <06215> his brother <0251> unto the land <0776> of
Seir

<08165>, the country <07704> of Edom <0123>.



4 And he commanded <06680> them, saying <0559>, Thus <03541>
shall

ye speak <0559> unto my lord <0113> Esau <06215> ; Thy servant

<05650> Jacob <03290> saith <0559> thus < 03541>, I have sojourned

<01481> with Laban <03837>, and stayed <0309> there until <05704>

now <06258>:



5 And I have <01961> oxen <07794>, and asses < 02543>, flocks

<06629>, and menservants <05650>, and womenservants <08198>: and
I

have <01961> sent <07971> to tell <05046> my lord <0113>, that I
may

find <04672> grace <02580> in thy sight <05869>.



6 And the messengers <04397> returned <07725> to Jacob <03290>,

saying <0559>, We came <0935> to thy brother < 0251> Esau <06215>,

and also <01571> he cometh <01980> to meet < 07125> thee, and four

<0702> hundred <03967> men <0376> with him.



7 Then Jacob <03290> was greatly <03966> afraid < 03372> and

distressed <03334>: and he divided <02673> the people <05971>
that

[was] with him, and the flocks <06629>, and herds < 01241>, and
the

camels <01581>, into two <08147> bands <04264>;



8 And said <0559>, If <0518> Esau <06215> come <0935> to the
one

<0259> company <04264>, and smite <05221> it, then the other
company

<04264> which is left <07604> shall escape < 06413>.



9. And Jacob <03290> said <0559>, O God <0430> of my father <01>

Abraham <085>, and God <0430> of my father <01> Isaac <03327>,
the

LORD <03068> which saidst <0559> unto me, Return < 07725> unto thy

country <0776>, and to thy kindred <04138>, and I will deal well

<03190> with thee:



10 I am not worthy <06994> of the least <06994> of all <03605>
the

mercies <02617>, and of all <03605> the truth < 0571>, which
<0834>

thou hast shewed <06213> unto thy servant <05650>; for with my
staff

<04731> I passed <05674> over <05674> this < 02088> Jordan
<03383>;

and now <06258> I am become <01961> two <08147> bands <04264>.



11 Deliver <05337> me, I pray <04994> thee, from the hand
<03027>

of my brother <0251>, from the hand <03027> of Esau <06215>: for
I

fear <03373> him, lest <06435> he will come < 0935> and smite
<05221>

me, [and] the mother <0517> with the children <01121>.



12 And thou saidst <0559>, I will surely do thee good < 03190>,
and

make <07760> thy seed <02233> as the sand < 02344> of the sea

<03220>, which <0834> cannot <03808> be numbered <05608> for

multitude <07230>.



13. And he lodged <03885> there <08033> that same <01931> night

<03915>; and took <03947> of that which came < 0935> to his hand

<03027> a present <04503> for Esau <06215> his brother <0251>;



14 Two hundred <03967> she goats <05795>, and twenty <06242> he

goats <08495>, two hundred <03967> ewes <07353>, and twenty
<06242>

rams <0352>,



15 Thirty <07970> milch <03243> camels <01581> with their colts

<01121>, forty <0705> kine <06510>, and ten < 06235> bulls
<06499>,

twenty <06242> she asses <0860>, and ten <06235> foals <05895>.



16 And he delivered <05414> [them] into the hand < 03027> of his

servants <05650>, every drove <05739> by themselves <0905>; and
said

<0559> unto his servants <05650>, Pass <05674> over <05674>
before

<06440> me, and put <07760> a space <07305> betwixt <0996> drove

<05739> and drove <05739>.



17 And he commanded <06680> the foremost <07223>, saying
<0559>,

When <03588> Esau <06215> my brother <0251> meeteth <06298> thee,

and asketh <07592> thee, saying <0559>, Whose < 04310> [art] thou?

and whither <0575> goest <03212> thou? and whose < 04310> [are]
these

<0428> before <06440> thee?



18 Then thou shalt say <0559>, [They be] thy servant < 05650>

Jacob's <03290>; it [is] a present <04503> sent < 07971> unto my
lord

<0113> Esau <06215>: and, behold <02009>, also <01571> he [is]

behind <0310> us.



19 And so <01571> commanded <06680> he the second <08145>, and
the

third <07992>, and all <03605> that followed the droves <05739>,

saying <0559>, On this <02088> manner <01697> shall ye speak
<01696>

unto Esau <06215>, when ye find <04672> him.



20 And say <0559> ye moreover <01571>, Behold < 02009>, thy
servant

<05650> Jacob <03290> [is] behind <0310> us. For he said <0559>,
I

will appease <06440> him with the present <04503> that goeth
<01980>

before <06440> me, and afterward I will see <07200> his face

<06440>; peradventure <0194> he will accept < 05375> of me.



21 So went <05674> the present <04503> over < 05674> before him:

and himself <01931> lodged <03885> that night < 03915> in the
company

<04264>.



22 And he rose <06965> up that night <03915>, and took <03947>
his

two <08147> wives <0802>, and his two <08147> womenservants
<08198>,

and his eleven sons <03206>, and passed <05674> over <05674> the

ford <04569> Jabbok <02999>.



23 And he took <03947> them, and sent <05674> them over <05674>

the brook <05158>, and sent <05674> over <05674> that he had.



24. And Jacob <03290> was left <03498> alone < 0905>; and there

wrestled <079> a man <0376> with him until < 05704> the breaking

<05927> of the day <07837>.



25 And when he saw <07200> that he prevailed <03201> not
against

him, he touched <05060> the hollow <03709> of his thigh <03409>;
and

the hollow <03709> of Jacob's <03290> thigh < 03409> was out of
joint

<03363>, as he wrestled <079> with him.



26 And he said <0559>, Let me go <07971>, for the day <07837>

breaketh <05927>. And he said <0559>, I will not let thee go

<07971>, except thou bless <01288> me.



27 And he said <0559> unto him, What <04100> [is] thy name

<08034>? And he said <0559>, Jacob <03290>.



28 And he said <0559>, Thy name <08034> shall be called <0559>
no

<03808> more <05750> Jacob <03290>, but Israel <03478>: for as a

prince hast thou power <08280> with God <0430> and with men
<0582>,

and hast prevailed <03201>.



29 And Jacob <03290> asked <07592> [him], and said <0559>, Tell

<05046> [me], I pray <04994> thee, thy name < 08034>. And he said

<0559>, Wherefore <04100> [is] it [that] thou dost ask <07592>
after

my name <08034>? And he blessed <01288> him there < 08033>.



30 And Jacob <03290> called <07121> the name < 08034> of the
place

<04725> Peniel <06439>: for I have seen <07200> God <0430> face

<06440> to face <06440>, and my life <05315> is preserved
<05337>.



31 And as he passed <05674> over <05674> Penuel < 06439> the sun

<08121> rose <02224> upon him, and he halted < 06761> upon his
thigh

<03409>.



32 Therefore the children <01121> of Israel <03478> eat <0398>
not

[of] the sinew <01517> which shrank <05384>, which <0834> [is]
upon

the hollow <03709> of the thigh <03409>, unto this <02088> day

<03117>: because <03588> he touched <05060> the hollow <03709> of

Jacob's <03290> thigh <03409> in the sinew < 01517> that shrank

<05384>.



Genesis 33



1. And Jacob <03290> lifted <05375> up his eyes < 05869>, and
looked

<07200>, and, behold <02009>, Esau <06215> came <0935>, and with
him

four <0702> hundred <03967> men <0376>. And he divided <02673>
the

children <03206> unto Leah <03812>, and unto Rachel <07354>, and

unto the two <08147> handmaids <08198>.



2 And he put <07760> the handmaids <08198> and their children

<03206> foremost <07223>, and Leah <03812> and her children
<03206>

after <0314>, and Rachel <07354> and Joseph < 03130> hindermost

<0314>.



3 And he passed <05674> over <05674> before < 06440> them, and

bowed <07812> himself to the ground <0776> seven < 07651> times

<06471>, until <05704> he came <05066> near < 05066> to his
brother

<0251>.



4 And Esau <06215> ran <07323> to meet <07125> him, and
embraced

<02263> him, and fell <05307> on <05921> his neck <06677>, and

kissed <05401> him: and they wept <01058>.



5. And he lifted <05375> up his eyes <05869>, and saw <07200>
the

women <0802> and the children <03206>; and said < 0559>, Who
<04310>

[are] those <0428> with thee? And he said <0559>, The children

<03206> which <0834> God <0430> hath graciously <02603> given

<02603> thy servant <05650>.



6 Then the handmaidens <08198> came <05066> near <05066>, they
and

their children <03206>, and they bowed <07812> themselves.



7 And Leah <03812> also <01571> with her children <03206> came

<05066> near <05066>, and bowed <07812> themselves: and after
<0310>

came <05066> Joseph <03130> near <05066> and Rachel <07354>, and

they bowed <07812> themselves.



8 And he said <0559>, What <04310> [meanest] thou by all
<03605>

this <02088> drove <04264> which <0834> I met <06298>? And he
said

<0559>, [These are] to find <04672> grace < 02580> in the sight

<05869> of my lord <0113>.



9 And Esau <06215> said <0559>, I have <03426> enough <07227>,
my

brother <0251>; keep <01961> that thou hast unto thyself.



10 And Jacob <03290> said <0559>, Nay <0408>, I pray <04994>
thee,

if <0518> now <04994> I have found <04672> grace <02580> in thy

sight <05869>, then receive <03947> my present < 04503> at my hand

<03027>: for therefore I have seen <07200> thy face <06440>, as

though I had seen <07200> the face <06440> of God < 0430>, and
thou

wast pleased <07521> with me.



11 Take <03947>, I pray <04994> thee, my blessing <01293> that
is

brought <0935> to thee; because <03588> God < 0430> hath dealt

graciously <02603> with me, and because <03588> I have <03426>

enough <03605>. And he urged <06484> him, and he took <03947>
[it].



12 And he said <0559>, Let us take our journey < 05265>, and
let us

go <03212>, and I will go <03212> before <05048> thee.



13 And he said <0559> unto him, My lord <0113> knoweth <03045>

that the children <03206> [are] tender <07390>, and the flocks

<06629> and herds <01241> with young <05763> [are] with me: and
if

<0518> men should overdrive <01849> them one < 0259> day <03117>,
all

<03605> the flock <06629> will die <04191>.



14 Let my lord <0113>, I pray <04994> thee, pass <05674> over

<05674> before <06440> his servant <05650>: and I will lead
<05095>

on softly <0328>, according <07272> as the cattle < 04399> that
goeth

before <06440> me and the children <03206> be able <07272> to
endure

<07272>, until <05704> I come <0935> unto my lord <0113> unto
Seir

<08165>.



15 And Esau <06215> said <0559>, Let me now < 04994> leave
<03322>

with thee [some] of the folk <05971> that [are] with me. And he
said

<0559>, What <04100> needeth it? let me find < 04672> grace
<02580>

in the sight <05869> of my lord <0113>.



16. So Esau <06215> returned <07725> that day < 03117> on his way

<01870> unto Seir <08165>.



17 And Jacob <03290> journeyed <05265> to Succoth <05523>, and

built <01129> him an house <01004>, and made < 06213> booths
<05521>

for his cattle <04735>: therefore the name <08034> of the place

<04725> is called <07121> Succoth <05523>.



18 And Jacob <03290> came <0935> to Shalem < 08003>, a city
<05892>

of Shechem <07927>, which <0834> [is] in the land < 0776> of
Canaan

<03667>, when he came <0935> from Padanaram < 06307>; and pitched

<02583> his tent before the city <05892>.



19 And he bought <07069> a parcel <02513> of a field <07704>,

where <0834> he had spread <05186> his tent < 0168>, at the hand

<03027> of the children <01121> of Hamor <02544> , Shechem's
<07927>

father <01>, for an hundred <03967> pieces of money <07192>.



20 And he erected <05324> there <08033> an altar <04196>, and

called <07121> it Eleloheisrael <0415>.



Genesis 34



1. And Dinah <01783> the daughter <01323> of Leah <03812>, which

<0834> she bare <03205> unto Jacob <03290>, went <03318> out to
see

<07200> the daughters <01363> of the land <0776> .



2 And when Shechem <07927> the son <01121> of Hamor <02544> the

Hivite <02340>, prince <05387> of the country < 0776>, saw <07200>

her, he took <03947> her, and lay <07901> with her, and defiled

<06031> her.



3 And his soul <05315> clave <01692> unto Dinah < 01783> the

daughter <01323> of Jacob <03290>, and he loved < 0157> the damsel

<05291>, and spake <01696> kindly unto the damsel < 05291>.



4 And Shechem <07927> spake <0559> unto his father <01> Hamor

<02544>, saying <0559>, Get <03947> me this < 02063> damsel
<03207>

to wife <0802>.



5 And Jacob <03290> heard <08085> that he had defiled <02930>

Dinah <01783> his daughter <01323>: now his sons < 01121> were
with

his cattle <04735> in the field <07704>: and Jacob <03290> held

<02790> his peace <02790> until <05704> they were come <0935>.



6. And Hamor <02544> the father <01> of Shechem < 07927> went

<03318> out unto Jacob <03290> to commune < 01696> with him.



7 And the sons <01121> of Jacob <03290> came < 0935> out of the

field <07704> when they heard <08085> [it]: and the men <0582>
were

grieved <06087>, and they were very <03966> wroth < 02734>,
because

<03588> he had wrought <06213> folly <05039> in Israel <03478> in

lying <07901> with Jacob's <03290> daughter < 01323>; which
<03651>

thing <03651> ought not to be done <06213>.



8 And Hamor <02544> communed <01696> with them, saying <0559>,
The

soul <05315> of my son <01121> Shechem <07927> longeth <02836>
for

your daughter <01323>: I pray <04994> you give < 05414> her him to

wife <0802>.



9 And make ye marriages <02859> with us, [and] give < 05414>
your

daughters <01363> unto us, and take <03947> our daughters <01363>

unto you.



10 And ye shall dwell <03427> with us: and the land < 0776>
shall

be before <06440> you; dwell <03427> and trade < 05503> ye
therein,

and get you possessions <0270> therein.



11 And Shechem <07927> said <0559> unto her father <01> and
unto

her brethren <0251>, Let me find <04672> grace < 02580> in your
eyes

<05869>, and what <0834> ye shall say <0559> unto me I will give

<05414>.



12 Ask me never so much dowry <04119> and gift < 04976>, and I
will

give <05414> according as ye shall say <0559> unto me: but give

<05414> me the damsel <05291> to wife <0802>.



13 And the sons <01121> of Jacob <03290> answered <06030>
Shechem

<07927> and Hamor <02544> his father <01> deceitfully <04820>,
and

said <01696>, because <0834> he had defiled < 02930> Dinah <01783>

their sister <0269>:



14 And they said <0559> unto them, We cannot do < 06213> this

<02088> thing <01697>, to give <05414> our sister <0269> to one

<0376> that is uncircumcised <06190>; for that [were] a reproach

<02781> unto us:



15 But in this <02063> will we consent <0225> unto you: If
<0518>

ye will be as we [be], that every <03605> male <02145> of you be

circumcised <04135>;



16 Then will we give <05414> our daughters <01363> unto you,
and

we will take <03947> your daughters <01363> to us, and we will
dwell

<03427> with you, and we will become <01961> one < 0259> people

<05971>.



17 But if <0518> ye will not hearken <08085> unto us, to be

circumcised <04135>; then will we take <03947> our daughter
<01323>,

and we will be gone <01980>.



18. And their words <01697> pleased Hamor <02544>, and Shechem

<07927> Hamor's <02544> son <01121>.



19 And the young <05288> man deferred <0309> not to do <06213>
the

thing <01697>, because <03588> he had delight < 02654> in Jacob's

<03290> daughter <01323>: and he [was] more < 03513> honourable

<03513> than all <03605> the house <01004> of his father <01>.



20 And Hamor <02544> and Shechem <07927> his son <01121> came

<0935> unto the gate <08179> of their city < 05892>, and communed

<01696> with the men <0582> of their city < 05892>, saying <0559>,



21 These <0428> men <0582> [are] peaceable < 08003> with us;

therefore let them dwell <03427> in the land <0776>, and trade

<05503> therein; for the land <0776>, behold < 02009>, [it is]
large

<07342> enough <03027> for them; let us take < 03947> their
daughters

<01363> to us for wives <0802>, and let us give < 05414> them our

daughters <01363>.



22 Only <0389> herein <02063> will the men < 0582> consent
<0225>

unto us for to dwell <03427> with us, to be one <0259> people

<05971>, if <0518> every <03605> male < 02145> among us be

circumcised <04135>, as they [are] circumcised <04135> .



23 [Shall] not their cattle <04735> and their substance <07075>

and every <03605> beast <0929> of theirs [be] ours? only <0389>
let

us consent <0225> unto them, and they will dwell < 03427> with us.



24 And unto Hamor <02544> and unto Shechem <07927> his son
<01121>

hearkened <08085> all <03605> that went <03318> out of the gate

<08179> of his city <05892>; and every <03605> male <02145> was

circumcised <04135>, all <03605> that went < 03318> out of the
gate

<08179> of his city <05892>.



25. And it came <01961> to pass on the third <07992> day
<03117>,

when they were sore <03510>, that two <08147> of the sons
<01121> of

Jacob <03290>, Simeon <08095> and Levi <03878>, Dinah's <01783>

brethren <0251>, took <03947> each man <0376> his sword <02719>,
and

came <0935> upon the city <05892> boldly <0983>, and slew <02026>

all <03605> the males <02145>.



26 And they slew <02026> Hamor <02544> and Shechem <07927> his
son

<01121> with the edge <06310> of the sword < 02719>, and took
<03947>

Dinah <01783> out of Shechem's <07927> house < 01004>, and went

<03318> out.



27 The sons <01121> of Jacob <03290> came < 0935> upon the slain

<02491>, and spoiled <0962> the city <05892>, because <0834> they

had defiled <02930> their sister <0269>.



28 They took <03947> their sheep <06629>, and their oxen
<01241>,

and their asses <02543>, and that which <0834> [was] in the city

<05892>, and that which <0834> [was] in the field < 07704>,



29 And all <03605> their wealth <02428>, and all <03605> their

little <02945> ones, and their wives <0802> took they captive

<07617>, and spoiled <0962> even all <03605> that [was] in the
house

<01004>.



30 And Jacob <03290> said <0559> to Simeon < 08095> and Levi

<03878>, Ye have troubled <05916> me to make me to stink <0887>

among the inhabitants <03427> of the land <0776>, among the

Canaanites <03669> and the Perizzites <06522>: and I [being] few

<04962> in number <04557>, they shall gather < 0622> themselves

together against <05921> me, and slay <05221> me; and I shall be

destroyed <08045>, I and my house <01004>.



31 And they said <0559>, Should he deal <06213> with our sister

<0269> as with an harlot <02181>?



Genesis 35



1. And God <0430> said <0559> unto Jacob < 03290>, Arise <06965>,
go

<05927> up to Bethel <01008>, and dwell <03427> there <08033>:
and

make <06213> there <08033> an altar <04196> unto God <0410>, that

appeared <07200> unto thee when thou fleddest <01272> from the
face

<06440> of Esau <06215> thy brother <0251>.



2 Then Jacob <03290> said <0559> unto his household <01004>,
and

to all <03605> that [were] with him, Put <05493> away the strange

<05236> gods <0430> that [are] among <08432> you, and be clean

<02891>, and change <02498> your garments < 08071>:



3 And let us arise <06965>, and go <05927> up to Bethel
<01008>;

and I will make <06213> there <08033> an altar < 04196> unto God

<0410>, who answered <06030> me in the day < 03117> of my distress

<06869>, and was with me in the way <01870> which < 0834> I went

<01980>.



4 And they gave <05414> unto Jacob <03290> all < 03605> the
strange

<05236> gods <0430> which <0834> [were] in their hand <03027>,
and

[all their] earrings <05141> which <0834> [were] in their ears

<0241>; and Jacob <03290> hid <02934> them under <08478> the oak

<0424> which <0834> [was] by Shechem <07927>.



5 And they journeyed <05265>: and the terror <02847> of God
<0430>

was upon the cities <05892> that [were] round <05439> about them,

and they did not pursue <07291> after <0310> the sons <01121> of

Jacob <03290>.



6. So Jacob <03290> came <0935> to Luz <03870>, which <0834>
[is]

in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, that [is], Bethel <01008>,
he

and all <03605> the people <05971> that [were] with him.



7 And he built <01129> there <08033> an altar < 04196>, and
called

<07121> the place <04725> Elbethel <0416>: because <03588> there

<08033> God <0430> appeared <01540> unto him, when he fled
<01272>

from the face <06440> of his brother <0251>.



8 But Deborah <01683> Rebekah's <07259> nurse < 03243> died

<04191>, and she was buried <06912> beneath < 08478> Bethel
<01008>

under <08478> an oak <0437>: and the name < 08034> of it was
called

<07121> Allonbachuth <0439>.



9 And God <0430> appeared <07200> unto Jacob < 03290> again

<05750>, when he came <0935> out of Padanaram < 06307>, and
blessed

<01288> him.



10 And God <0430> said <0559> unto him, Thy name <08034> [is]

Jacob <03290>: thy name <08034> shall not be called <07121> any

<05750> more <05750> Jacob <03290>, but Israel <03478> shall be
thy

name <08034>: and he called <07121> his name < 08034> Israel
<03478>.



11 And God <0430> said <0559> unto him, I [am] God <0410>
Almighty

<07706>: be fruitful <06509> and multiply < 07235>; a nation
<01471>

and a company <06951> of nations <01471> shall be of thee, and
kings

<04428> shall come <03318> out of thy loins < 02504>;



12 And the land <0776> which <0834> I gave < 05414> Abraham
<085>

and Isaac <03327>, to thee I will give <05414> it, and to thy
seed

<02233> after <0310> thee will I give <05414> the land <0776>.



13 And God <0430> went <05927> up from him in the place <04725>

where <0834> he talked <01696> with him.



14 And Jacob <03290> set <05324> up a pillar < 04676> in the
place

<04725> where <0834> he talked <01696> with him, [even] a pillar

<04678> of stone <068>: and he poured <05258> a drink <05262>

offering thereon <05921>, and he poured <03332> oil <08081>
thereon

<05921>.



15 And Jacob <03290> called <07121> the name < 08034> of the
place

<04725> where <0834> God <0430> spake < 01696> with him, Bethel

<01008>.



16. And they journeyed <05265> from Bethel <01008>; and there
was

but a little <03530> way <0776> to come <0935> to Ephrath <0672>:

and Rachel <07354> travailed <03205>, and she had hard <07185>

labour <03205>.



17 And it came <0935> to pass, when she was in hard < 07185>
labour

<03205>, that the midwife <03205> said <0559> unto her, Fear
<03372>

not; thou shalt have this <02088> son <01121> also <01571>.



18 And it came <0935> to pass, as her soul <05315> was in

departing <03318>, (for she died <04191>) that she called <07121>

his name <08034> Benoni <01126>: but his father < 01> called
<07121>

him Benjamin <01144>.



19 And Rachel <07354> died <04191>, and was buried <06912> in
the

way <01870> to Ephrath <0672>, which <01958> [is] Bethlehem
<01035>.



20 And Jacob <03290> set <05324> a pillar < 04676> upon her
grave

<06900>: that [is] the pillar <04678> of Rachel's < 07354> grave

<06900> unto this day <03117>.



21. And Israel <03478> journeyed <05265>, and spread <05186> his

tent <0168> beyond <01973> the tower <04026> of Edar <05740>.



22 And it came <01961> to pass, when Israel <03478> dwelt
<07931>

in that land <0776>, that Reuben <07205> went < 03212> and lay

<07901> with Bilhah <01090> his father's <01> concubine <06370>:
and

Israel <03478> heard <08085> [it]. Now the sons < 01121> of Jacob

<03290> were twelve:



23 The sons <01121> of Leah <03812>; Reuben < 07205>, Jacob's

<03290> firstborn <01060>, and Simeon <08095>, and Levi <03878>,
and

Judah <03063>, and Issachar <03485>, and Zebulun < 02074>:



24 The sons <01121> of Rachel <07354>; Joseph < 03130>, and

Benjamin <01144>:



25 And the sons <01121> of Bilhah <01090>, Rachel's <07354>

handmaid <08198>; Dan <01835>, and Naphtali < 05321>:



26 And the sons <01121> of Zilpah <02153>, Leah's <03812>
handmaid

<08198>; Gad <01410>, and Asher <0836>: these <0428> [are] the
sons

<01121> of Jacob <03290>, which <0834> were born <03205> to him
in

Padanaram <06307>.



27 And Jacob <03290> came <0935> unto Isaac < 03327> his father

<01> unto Mamre <04471>, unto the city <07151> of Arbah <0704>,

which <0834> [is] Hebron <02275>, where <0834> Abraham <085> and

Isaac <03327> sojourned <01481>.



28 And the days <03117> of Isaac <03327> were an hundred
<03967>

and fourscore <08084> years <08141>.



29 And Isaac <03327> gave up the ghost <01478>, and died
<04191>,

and was gathered <0622> unto his people <05971>, [being] old
<02205>

and full <07649> of days <03117>: and his sons < 01121> Esau
<06215>

and Jacob <03290> buried <06912> him.



Genesis 36



1. Now these <0428> [are] the generations <08435> of Esau
<06215>,

who <01931> [is] Edom <0123>.



2 Esau <06215> took <03947> his wives <0802> of the daughters

<01363> of Canaan <03667>; Adah <05711> the daughter <01323> of
Elon

<0356> the Hittite <02850>, and Aholibamah < 0173> the daughter

<01323> of Anah <06034> the daughter <01323> of Zibeon <06649>
the

Hivite <02340>;



3 And Bashemath <01315> Ishmael's <03458> daughter <01323>,
sister

<0269> of Nebajoth <05032>.



4 And Adah <05711> bare <03205> to Esau < 06215> Eliphaz <0464>;

and Bashemath <01315> bare <03205> Reuel <07467> ;



5 And Aholibamah <0173> bare <03205> Jeush < 03266>, and Jaalam

<03281>, and Korah <07141>: these <0428> [are] the sons <01121>
of

Esau <06215>, which <0834> were born <03205> unto him in the land

<0776> of Canaan <03667>.



6 And Esau <06215> took <03947> his wives < 0802>, and his sons

<01121>, and his daughters <01363>, and all < 03605> the persons

<05315> of his house <01004>, and his cattle < 04735>, and all

<03605> his beasts <0929>, and all <03605> his substance <07075>,

which <0834> he had got <07408> in the land < 0776> of Canaan

<03667>; and went <03212> into <0413> the country <0776> from the

face <06440> of his brother <0251> Jacob <03290> .



7 For their riches <07399> were more <07227> than that they
might

dwell <03427> together <03162>; and the land < 0776> wherein they

were strangers <04033> could <03201> not bear < 05375> them
because

<06440> of their cattle <04735>.



8 Thus dwelt <03427> Esau <06215> in mount < 02022> Seir
<08165>:

Esau <06215> [is] Edom <0123>.



9. And these <0428> [are] the generations <08435> of Esau
<06215>

the father <01> of the Edomites <0130> in mount < 02022> Seir

<08165>:



10 These <0428> [are] the names <08034> of Esau's <06215> sons

<01121>; Eliphaz <0464> the son <01121> of Adah <05711> the wife

<0802> of Esau <06215>, Reuel <07467> the son <01121> of
Bashemath

<01315> the wife <0802> of Esau <06215>.



11 And the sons <01121> of Eliphaz <0464> were Teman <08487>,
Omar

<0201>, Zepho <06825>, and Gatam <01609>, and Kenaz <07073>.



12 And Timna <08555> was concubine <06370> to Eliphaz <0464>

Esau's <06215> son <01121>; and she bare <03205> to Eliphaz
<0464>

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

Esau's <06215> wife <0802>.



13 And these <0428> [are] the sons <01121> of Reuel <07467>;

Nahath <05184>, and Zerah <02226>, Shammah < 08048>, and Mizzah

<04199>: these <0428> were the sons <01121> of Bashemath <01315>

Esau's <06215> wife <0802>.



14 And these <0428> were the sons <01121> of Aholibamah <0173>,

the daughter <01323> of Anah <06034> the daughter < 01323> of
Zibeon

<06649>, Esau's <06215> wife <0802>: and she bare <03205> to Esau

<06215> Jeush <03266>, and Jaalam <03281>, and Korah <07141>.



15 These <0428> [were] dukes <0441> of the sons < 01121> of Esau

<06215>: the sons <01121> of Eliphaz <0464> the firstborn <01060>

[son] of Esau <06215>; duke <0441> Teman <08487> , duke <0441>
Omar

<0201>, duke <0441> Zepho <06825>, duke < 0441> Kenaz <07073>,



16 Duke <0441> Korah <07141>, duke <0441> Gatam <01609>, [and]

duke <0441> Amalek <06002>: these <0428> [are] the dukes <0441>

[that came] of Eliphaz <0464> in the land <0776> of Edom <0123>;

these <0428> [were] the sons <01121> of Adah < 05711>.



17 And these <0428> [are] the sons <01121> of Reuel <07467>
Esau's

<06215> son <01121>; duke <0441> Nahath < 05184>, duke <0441>
Zerah

<02226>, duke <0441> Shammah <08048>, duke < 0441> Mizzah <04199>:

these <0428> [are] the dukes <0441> [that came] of Reuel <07467>
in

the land <0776> of Edom <0123>; these <0428> [are] the sons
<01121>

of Bashemath <01315> Esau's <06215> wife <0802>.



18 And these <0428> [are] the sons <01121> of Aholibamah <0173>

Esau's <06215> wife <0802>; duke <0441> Jeush <03266>, duke
<0441>

Genesis 37



1. And Jacob <03290> dwelt <03427> in the land < 0776> wherein
his

father <01> was a stranger <04033>, in the land < 0776> of Canaan

<03667>.



2 These <0428> [are] the generations <08435> of Jacob <03290>.

Joseph <03130>, [being] seventeen <07651> years < 08141> old
<01121>,

was feeding <07462> the flock <06629> with his brethren <0251>;
and

the lad <05288> [was] with the sons <01121> of Bilhah <01090>,
and

with the sons <01121> of Zilpah <02153>, his father's <01> wives

<0802>: and Joseph <03130> brought <0935> unto his father <01>
their

evil <07451> report <01681>.



3 Now Israel <03478> loved <0157> Joseph < 03130> more than all

<03605> his children <01121>, because <03588> he [was] the son

<01121> of his old <02208> age: and he made < 06213> him a coat

<03801> of [many] colours <06446>.



4 And when his brethren <0251> saw <07200> that their father
<01>

loved <0157> him more than all <03605> his brethren <0251>, they

hated <08130> him, and could <03201> not speak < 01696> peaceably

<07965> unto him.



5. And Joseph <03130> dreamed <02492> a dream < 02472>, and he
told

<05046> [it] his brethren <0251>: and they hated < 08130> him yet

<05750> the more <03254>.



6 And he said <0559> unto them, Hear <08085>, I pray <04994>
you,

this <02088> dream <02472> which <0834> I have dreamed <02492>:



7 For, behold <02009>, we [were] binding <0481> sheaves <0485>
in

the field <07704>, and, lo <02009>, my sheaf < 0485> arose
<06965>,

and also <01571> stood <05324> upright; and, behold <02009>, your

sheaves <0485> stood round <05437> about, and made obeisance
<07812>

to my sheaf <0485>.



8 And his brethren <0251> said <0559> to him, Shalt thou indeed

reign <04427> over <05921> us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion

<04910> over us? And they hated <08130> him yet < 05750> the more

<03254> for his dreams <02472>, and for his words < 01697>.



9 And he dreamed <02492> yet <05750> another < 0312> dream
<02472>,

and told <05608> it his brethren <0251>, and said < 0559>, Behold

<02009>, I have dreamed <02492> a dream <02472> more <05750>;
and,

behold <02009>, the sun <08121> and the moon < 03394> and the
eleven

stars <03556> made obeisance <07812> to me.



10 And he told <05608> [it] to his father <01>, and to his

brethren <0251>: and his father <01> rebuked < 01605> him, and
said

<0559> unto him, What <04100> [is] this <02088> dream <02472>
that

thou hast dreamed <02492>? Shall I and thy mother < 0517> and thy

brethren <0251> indeed come <0935> to bow < 07812> down <07812>

ourselves to thee to the earth <0776>?



11 And his brethren <0251> envied <07065> him; but his father
<01>

observed <08104> the saying <01697>.



12. And his brethren <0251> went <03212> to feed < 07462> their

father's <01> flock <06629> in Shechem <07927>.



13 And Israel <03478> said <0559> unto Joseph < 03130>, Do not
thy

brethren <0251> feed <07462> [the flock] in Shechem <07927>? come

<03212>, and I will send <07971> thee unto them. And he said
<0559>

to him, Here <02009> [am I].



14 And he said <0559> to him, Go <03212>, I pray <04994> thee,
see

<07200> whether it be well <07965> with thy brethren <0251>, and

well <07965> with the flocks <06629>; and bring < 07725> me word

<01697> again <07725>. So he sent <07971> him out of the vale

<06010> of Hebron <02275>, and he came <0935> to Shechem <07927>.



15 And a certain man <0376> found <04672> him, and, behold

<02009>, [he was] wandering <08582> in the field < 07704>: and the

man <0376> asked <07592> him, saying <0559>, What <04100> seekest

<01245> thou?



16 And he said <0559>, I seek <01245> my brethren <0251>: tell

<05046> me, I pray <04994> thee, where <0375> they feed <07462>

[their flocks].



17 And the man <0376> said <0559>, They are departed <05265>
hence

<02088>; for I heard <08085> them say <0559>, Let us go <03212>
to

Dothan <01886>. And Joseph <03130> went <03212> after <0310> his

brethren <0251>, and found <04672> them in Dothan < 01886>.



18 And when they saw <07200> him afar <07350> off, even before

<02962> he came <07126> near <07126> unto them, they conspired

<05320> against <0834> him to slay <04191> him.



19 And they said <0559> one <0376> to another < 0250>, Behold

<02009>, this <01976> dreamer cometh <0935>.



20 Come <03212> now <06258> therefore, and let us slay <02026>

him, and cast <07993> him into some <0259> pit < 0953>, and we
will

say <0559>, Some evil <07451> beast <02416> hath devoured <0398>

him: and we shall see <07200> what <04100> will become <01961> of

his dreams <02472>.



21 And Reuben <07205> heard <08085> [it], and he delivered
<05337>

him out of their hands <03027>; and said <0559>, Let us not kill

<05221> him.



22 And Reuben <07205> said <0559> unto them, Shed <08210> no

<03808> blood <01818>, [but] cast <07993> him into <0413> this

<02088> pit <0953> that [is] in the wilderness < 04057>, and lay

<07971> no <03808> hand <03027> upon him; that he might rid
<05337>

him out of their hands <03027>, to deliver <07725> him to his
father

<01> again <07725>.



23. And it came <01961> to pass, when <0834> Joseph <03130> was

come <0935> unto his brethren <0251>, that they stript <06584>

Joseph <03130> out of his coat <03801>, [his] coat <03801> of
[many]

colours <06446> that [was] on <05921> him;



24 And they took <03947> him, and cast <07993> him into a pit

<0953>: and the pit <0953> [was] empty <07386>, [there was] no

<03808> water <04325> in it.



25 And they sat <03427> down to eat <0398> bread <03899>: and
they

lifted <05375> up their eyes <05869> and looked < 07200>, and,
behold

<02009>, a company <0736> of Ishmeelites <03459> came <0935> from

Gilead <01568> with their camels <01581> bearing < 05375> spicery

<05219> and balm <06875> and myrrh <03910>, going <01980> to
carry

<03381> [it] down <03381> to Egypt <04714>.



26 And Judah <03063> said <0559> unto his brethren <0251>, What

<04100> profit <01215> [is it] if <03588> we slay <02026> our

brother <0251>, and conceal <03680> his blood < 01818>?



27 Come <03212>, and let us sell <04376> him to the Ishmeelites

<03459>, and let not our hand <03027> be upon him; for he [is]
our

brother <0251> [and] our flesh <01320>. And his brethren <0251>
were

content <08085>.



28 Then there passed <05674> by Midianites <04084> merchantmen

<05503>; and they drew <04900> and lifted < 05927> up Joseph
<03130>

out of the pit <0953>, and sold <04376> Joseph < 03130> to the

Ishmeelites <03459> for twenty <06242> [pieces] of silver
<03701>:

and they brought <0935> Joseph <03130> into Egypt < 04714>.



29 And Reuben <07205> returned <07725> unto the pit <0953>;
and,

behold <02009>, Joseph <03130> [was] not in the pit <0953>; and
he

rent <07167> his clothes <0899>.



30 And he returned <07725> unto his brethren <0251>, and said

<0559>, The child <03206> [is] not; and I, whither <0575> shall
I go

<0935>?



31. And they took <03947> Joseph's <03130> coat < 03801>, and
killed

<07819> a kid <08163> of the goats <05795>, and dipped <02881>
the

coat <03801> in the blood <01818>;



32 And they sent <07971> the coat <03801> of [many] colours

<06446>, and they brought <0935> [it] to their father <01>; and
said

<0559>, This <02063> have we found <04672>: know <05234> now
<04994>

whether it [be] thy son's <01121> coat <03801> or no <03808>.



33 And he knew <05234> it, and said <0559>, [It is] my son's

<01121> coat <03801>; an evil <07451> beast < 02416> hath devoured

<0398> him; Joseph <03130> is without <02963> doubt rent <02963>
in

pieces.



34 And Jacob <03290> rent <07167> his clothes < 08071>, and put

<07760> sackcloth <08242> upon his loins <04975> , and mourned
<056>

for his son <01121> many <07227> days <03117>.



35 And all <03605> his sons <01121> and all < 03605> his
daughters

<01363> rose <06965> up to comfort <05162> him; but he refused

<03985> to be comforted <05162>; and he said < 0559>, For I will
go

<03381> down <03381> into the grave <07585> unto my son <01121>

mourning <057>. Thus his father <01> wept < 01058> for him.



36 And the Midianites <04092> sold <04376> him into <0413>
Egypt

<04714> unto Potiphar <06318>, an officer < 05631> of Pharaoh's

<06547>, [and] captain <08269> of the guard < 02876>.



Genesis 38



1. And it came <01961> to pass at that time <06256>, that Judah

<03063> went <03381> down <03381> from his brethren <0251>, and

turned <05186> in to a certain <0376> Adullamite < 05726>, whose
name

<08034> [was] Hirah <02437>.



2 And Judah <03063> saw <07200> there <08033> a daughter
<01323>

of a certain <0376> Canaanite <03669>, whose name < 08034> [was]

Shuah <07770>; and he took <03947> her, and went < 0935> in unto
her.



3 And she conceived <02029>, and bare <03205> a son <01121>;
and

he called <07121> his name <08034> Er <06147>.



4 And she conceived <02030> again <05750>, and bare <03205> a
son

<01121>; and she called <07121> his name <08034> Onan <0209>.



5 And she yet <05750> again <05750> conceived < 03254>, and bare

<03205> a son <01121>; and called <07121> his name <08034> Shelah

<07956>: and he was at Chezib <03580>, when she bare <03205> him.



6 And Judah <03063> took <03947> a wife <0802> for Er <06147>
his

firstborn <01060>, whose name <08034> [was] Tamar < 08559>.



7 And Er <06147>, Judah's <03063> firstborn < 01060>, was wicked

<07451> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068> ; and the LORD

<03068> slew <04191> him.



8 And Judah <03063> said <0559> unto Onan < 0209>, Go <0935> in

unto thy brother's <0251> wife <0802>, and marry < 02992> her, and

raise <06965> up seed <02233> to thy brother < 0251>.



9 And Onan <0209> knew <03045> that the seed < 02233> should
not be

his; and it came <01961> to pass, when <0518> he went <0935> in
unto

his brother's <0251> wife <0802>, that he spilled < 07843> [it] on

the ground <0776>, lest <01115> that he should give <05414> seed

<02233> to his brother <0251>.



10 And the thing which <0834> he did <06213> displeased the
LORD

<03068>: wherefore he slew <04191> him also < 01571>.



11 Then said <0559> Judah <03063> to Tamar < 08559> his daughter

<03618> in law <03618>, Remain <03427> a widow <0490> at thy

father's <01> house <01004>, till <05704> Shelah <07956> my son

<01121> be grown <01431>: for he said <0559>, Lest <06435>

peradventure he die <04191> also <01571>, as his brethren <0251>

[did]. And Tamar <08559> went <03212> and dwelt < 03427> in her

father's <01> house <01004>.



12. And in process <07235> of time <03117> the daughter <01323>
of

Shuah <07770> Judah's <03063> wife <0802> died <04191>; and Judah

<03063> was comforted <05162>, and went <05927> up unto his

sheepshearers to Timnath <08553>, he and his friend < 07453> Hirah

<02437> the Adullamite <05726>.



13 And it was told <05046> Tamar <08559>, saying <0559>, Behold

<02009> thy father <02524> in law <02524> goeth <05927> up to

Timnath <08553> to shear <01494> his sheep < 06629>.



14 And she put <05493> her widow's <0491> garments <0899> off

<05921> from her, and covered <03680> her with a vail <06809>,
and

wrapped <05968> herself, and sat <03427> in an open <05869> place

<06607>, which <0834> [is] by the way <01870> to Timnath <08553>;

for she saw <07200> that Shelah <07956> was grown < 01431>, and
she

was not given <05414> unto him to wife <0802>.



15 When Judah <03063> saw <07200> her, he thought <02803> her
[to

be] an harlot <02181>; because <03588> she had covered <03680>
her

face <06440>.



16 And he turned <05186> unto her by the way <01870> , and said

<0559>, Go <03051> to, I pray <04994> thee, let me come <0935> in

unto thee; (for he knew <03045> not that she [was] his daughter

<03618> in law <03618>.) And she said <0559>, What <04100> wilt
thou

give <05414> me, that thou mayest come <0935> in unto me?



17 And he said <0559>, I will send <07971> [thee] a kid <01423>

from the flock <06629>. And she said <0559>, Wilt thou give
<05414>

[me] a pledge <06162>, till <05704> thou send < 07971> [it]?



18 And he said <0559>, What <0834> pledge < 06162> shall I give

<05414> thee? And she said <0559>, Thy signet < 02368>, and thy

bracelets <06616>, and thy staff <04294> that [is] in thine hand

<03027>. And he gave <05414> [it] her, and came < 0935> in unto
her,

and she conceived <02030> by him.



19 And she arose <06965>, and went <03212> away, and laid
<05493>

by her vail <06809> from her, and put <03847> on the garments
<0899>

of her widowhood <0491>.



20 And Judah <03063> sent <07971> the kid < 01423> by the hand

<03027> of his friend <07453> the Adullamite < 05726>, to receive

<03947> [his] pledge <06162> from the woman's < 0802> hand
<03027>:

but he found <04672> her not.



21 Then he asked <07592> the men <0582> of that place <04725>,

saying <0559>, Where <0346> [is] the harlot < 06948>, that [was]

openly <05879> by the way <01870> side? And they said <0559>,
There

was no <03808> harlot <06948> in this <02088> [place].



22 And he returned <07725> to Judah <03063>, and said <0559>, I

cannot <03808> find <04672> her; and also < 01571> the men <0582>
of

the place <04725> said <0559>, [that] there was no <03808> harlot

<06948> in this <02088> [place].



23 And Judah <03063> said <0559>, Let her take < 03947> [it] to

her, lest <06435> we be shamed <0937>: behold < 02009>, I sent

<07971> this <02088> kid <01423>, and thou hast not found <04672>

her.



24. And it came <01961> to pass about three <07969> months
<02320>

after, that it was told <05046> Judah <03063>, saying <0559>,
Tamar

<08559> thy daughter <03618> in law <03618> hath played the
harlot

<02181>; and also <01571>, behold <02009>, she [is] with child

<02030> by whoredom <02183>. And Judah <03063> said <0559>, Bring

<03318> her forth <03318>, and let her be burnt < 08313>.



25 When she [was] brought <03318> forth <03318>, she sent
<07971>

to her father <02524> in law <02524>, saying < 0559>, By the man

<0376>, whose <0834> these <0428> [are, am] I with child <02030>:

and she said <0559>, Discern <05234>, I pray < 04994> thee, whose

<0834> [are] these <0428>, the signet <02858>, and bracelets

<06616>, and staff <04294>.



26 And Judah <03063> acknowledged <05234> [them], and said
<0559>,

She hath been more righteous <06663> than I; because < 03588>
that I

gave <05414> her not to Shelah <07956> my son < 01121>. And he
knew

<03045> her again <03254> no <03808> more < 05750>.



27 And it came <01961> to pass in the time <06256> of her
travail

<03205>, that, behold <02009>, twins <08380> [were] in her womb

<0990>.



28 And it came <01961> to pass, when she travailed < 03205>,
that

[the one] put <05414> out [his] hand <03027>: and the midwife

<03205> took <03947> and bound <07194> upon his hand <03027> a

scarlet <08144> thread, saying <0559>, This < 02088> came <03318>
out

first <07223>.



29 And it came <01961> to pass, as he drew <07725> back <07725>

his hand <03027>, that, behold <02009>, his brother <0251> came

<03318> out: and she said <0559>, How <04100> hast thou broken

<06555> forth <06556>? [this] breach <06556> [be] upon thee:

therefore his name <08034> was called <07121> Pharez <06557>.



30 And afterward <0310> came <03318> out his brother <0251>,
that

had the scarlet <08144> thread upon his hand <03027>: and his
name

<08034> was called <07121> Zarah <02226>.



Genesis 39



1. And Joseph <03130> was brought <03381> down < 03381> to Egypt

<04714>; and Potiphar <06318>, an officer < 05631> of Pharaoh

<06547>, captain <08269> of the guard <02876>, an Egyptian
<04713>,

bought <07069> him of the hands <03027> of the Ishmeelites
<03459>,

which <0834> had brought <03381> him down < 03381> thither
<08033>.



2 And the LORD <03068> was with Joseph <03130>, and he was a

prosperous <06743> man <0376>; and he was in the house <01004> of

his master <0113> the Egyptian <04713>.



3 And his master <0113> saw <07200> that the LORD <03068> [was]

with him, and that the LORD <03068> made all <03605> that he did

<06213> to prosper <06743> in his hand <03027>.



4 And Joseph <03130> found <04672> grace < 02580> in his sight

<05869>, and he served <08334> him: and he made him overseer
<06485>

over <05921> his house <01004>, and all <03605> [that] he had

<03426> he put <05414> into his hand <03027>.



5 And it came <01961> to pass from the time [that] he had
<03426>

made him overseer <06485> in his house <01004>, and over <05921>
all

<03605> that he had <03426>, that the LORD < 03068> blessed
<01288>

the Egyptian's <04713> house <01004> for Joseph's < 03130> sake

<01558>; and the blessing <01293> of the LORD < 03068> was upon
all

<03605> that he had <03426> in the house <01004> , and in the
field

<07704>.



6 And he left <05800> all <03605> that he had in Joseph's
<03130>

hand <03027>; and he knew <03045> not ought < 03972> he had, save
the

bread <03899> which <0834> he did eat <0398>. And Joseph <03130>
was

[a] goodly [person], and well <03303> favoured <04758> .



7. And it came <01961> to pass after <0310> these <0428> things

<01697>, that his master's <0113> wife <0802> cast <05375> her
eyes

<05869> upon Joseph <03130>; and she said <0559> , Lie <07901>
with

me.



8 But he refused <03985>, and said <0559> unto his master's
<0113>

wife <0802>, Behold <02005>, my master <0113> wotteth <03045> not

what <04100> [is] with me in the house <01004>, and he hath

committed <05414> all <03605> that he hath < 03426> to my hand

<03027>;



9 [There is] none <0369> greater <01419> in this <02088> house

<01004> than I; neither <03808> hath he kept < 02820> back <02820>

any <03972> thing <03972> from me but thee, because <0834> thou

[art] his wife <0802>: how <0349> then can I do < 06213> this
<02063>

great <01419> wickedness <07451>, and sin < 02398> against God

<0430>?



10 And it came <01961> to pass, as she spake <01696> to Joseph

<03130> day <03117> by day <03117>, that he hearkened <08085> not

unto her, to lie <07901> by her, [or] to be with her.



11 And it came <01961> to pass about this <02088> time <03117>,

that [Joseph] went <0935> into the house <01004> to do <06213>
his

business <04399>; and [there was] none <0369> of the men <0582>
of

the house <01004> there <08033> within <01004>.



12 And she caught <08610> him by his garment <0899>, saying

<0559>, Lie <07901> with me: and he left <05800> his garment
<0899>

in her hand <03027>, and fled <05127>, and got < 03318> him out.



13. And it came <01961> to pass, when she saw <07200> that he
had

left <05800> his garment <0899> in her hand < 03027>, and was fled

<05127> forth <02315>,



14 That she called <07121> unto the men <0582> of her house

<01004>, and spake <0559> unto them, saying < 0559>, See <07200>,
he

hath brought <0935> in an Hebrew <05680> unto us to mock <06711>
us;

he came <0935> in unto me to lie <07901> with me, and I cried

<07121> with a loud <01419> voice <06963>:



15 And it came <01961> to pass, when he heard < 08085> that I

lifted <07311> up my voice <06963> and cried < 07121>, that he
left

<05800> his garment <0899> with me, and fled < 05127>, and got

<03318> him out.



16 And she laid <03241> up his garment <0899> by her, until

<05704> his lord <0113> came <0935> home < 01004>.



17 And she spake <01696> unto him according to these < 0428>
words

<01697>, saying <0559>, The Hebrew <05680> servant <05650>, which

<0834> thou hast brought <0935> unto us, came < 0935> in unto me
to

mock <06711> me:



18 And it came <01961> to pass, as I lifted <07311> up my voice

<06963> and cried <07121>, that he left <05800> his garment
<0899>

with me, and fled <05127> out.



19. And it came <01961> to pass, when his master < 0113> heard

<08085> the words <01697> of his wife <0802>, which <0834> she
spake

<01696> unto him, saying <0559>, After this < 0428> manner <01697>

did <06213> thy servant <05650> to me; that his wrath <0639> was

kindled <02734>.



20 And Joseph's <03130> master <0113> took < 03947> him, and put

<05414> him into <0413> the prison, a place < 04725> where <0834>
the

king's <04428> prisoners <0615> [were] bound < 0631>: and he was

there <08033> in the prison.



21 But the LORD <03068> was with Joseph <03130>, and shewed

<05186> him mercy <02617>, and gave <05414> him favour <02580> in

the sight <05869> of the keeper <08269> of the prison.



22 And the keeper <08269> of the prison committed < 05414> to

Joseph's <03130> hand <03027> all <03605> the prisoners <0615>
that

[were] in the prison; and whatsoever they did <06213> there
<08033>,

he was the doer <06218> [of it].



23 The keeper <08269> of the prison looked <07200> not to any

<03972> thing <03972> [that was] under his hand < 03027>; because

<0834> the LORD <03068> was with him, and [that] which <0834> he
did

<06213>, the LORD <03068> made [it] to prosper < 06743>.



Genesis 40



1. And it came <01961> to pass after <0310> these <0428> things

<01697>, [that] the butler <04945> of the king < 04428> of Egypt

<04714> and [his] baker <0644> had offended < 02398> their lord

<0113> the king <04428> of Egypt <04714>.



2 And Pharaoh <06547> was wroth <07107> against < 05921> two

<08147> [of] his officers <05631>, against < 05921> the chief
<08269>

of the butlers <04945>, and against <05921> the chief <08269> of
the

bakers <0644>.



3 And he put <05414> them in ward <04929> in the house <01004>
of

the captain <08269> of the guard <02876>, into < 0413> the prison,

the place <04725> where <0834> Joseph <03130> [was] bound <0631>.



4 And the captain <08269> of the guard <02876> charged <06485>

Joseph <03130> with them, and he served <08334> them: and they

continued <01961> a season <03117> in ward < 04929>.



5. And they dreamed <02492> a dream <02472> both < 08147> of
them,

each man <0376> his dream <02472> in one <0259> night <03915>,
each

man <0376> according to the interpretation <06623> of his dream

<02472>, the butler <04945> and the baker <0644> of the king
<04428>

of Egypt <04714>, which <0834> [were] bound < 0631> in the prison.



6 And Joseph <03130> came <0935> in unto them in the morning

<01242>, and looked <07200> upon them, and, behold <02009>, they

[were] sad <02196>.



7 And he asked <07592> Pharaoh's <06547> officers <05631> that

[were] with him in the ward <04929> of his lord's < 0113> house

<01004>, saying <0559>, Wherefore <04069> look <06440> ye [so]
sadly

<07451> to day <03117>?



8 And they said <0559> unto him, We have dreamed < 02492> a
dream

<02472>, and [there is] no <0369> interpreter < 06622> of it. And

Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto them, [Do] not interpretations

<06623> [belong] to God <0430>? tell <05608> me [them], I pray

<04994> you.



9 And the chief <08269> butler <04945> told < 05608> his dream

<02472> to Joseph <03130>, and said <0559> to him, In my dream

<02472>, behold <02009>, a vine <01612> [was] before <06440> me;



10 And in the vine <01612> [were] three <07969> branches
<08299>:

and it [was] as though it budded <06524>, [and] her blossoms
<05322>

shot <05927> forth; and the clusters <0811> thereof brought
<01310>

forth <01310> ripe <01310> grapes <06025>:



11 And Pharaoh's <06547> cup <03563> [was] in my hand <03027>:
and

I took <03947> the grapes <06025>, and pressed < 07818> them into

<0413> Pharaoh's <06547> cup <03563>, and I gave <05414> the cup

<03563> into <05921> Pharaoh's <06547> hand < 03709>.



12 And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto him, This <02088> [is]
the

interpretation <06623> of it: The three <07969> branches <08299>

[are] three <07969> days <03117>:



13 Yet <05750> within three <07969> days < 03117> shall Pharaoh

<06547> lift <05375> up thine head <07218>, and restore <07725>
thee

unto thy place <03653>: and thou shalt deliver <05414> Pharaoh's

<06547> cup <03563> into his hand <03027>, after the former
<07223>

manner <04941> when <0834> thou wast <01961> his butler <04945>.



14 But think <02142> on me when <0834> it shall be well <03190>

with thee, and shew <06213> kindness <02617>, I pray <04994>
thee,

unto me, and make mention <02142> of me unto Pharaoh < 06547>, and

bring <03318> me out of this <02088> house < 01004>:



15 For indeed I was stolen <01589> away out of the land <0776>
of

the Hebrews <05680>: and here <06311> also < 01571> have I done

<06213> nothing that they should put <07760> me into the dungeon

<0953>.



16 When the chief <08269> baker <0644> saw < 07200> that the

interpretation <06623> was good <02896>, he said < 0559> unto
Joseph

<03130>, I also <0637> [was] in my dream <02472> , and, behold

<02009>, [I had] three <07969> white <02751> baskets <05536> on

<05921> my head <07218>:



17 And in the uppermost <05945> basket <05536> [there was] of
all

<03605> manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh <06547>; and the birds

<05775> did eat <0398> them out of the basket < 05536> upon my
head

<07218>.



18 And Joseph <03130> answered <06030> and said < 0559>, This

<02088> [is] the interpretation <06623> thereof: The three
<07969>

baskets <05536> [are] three <07969> days <03117> :



19 Yet <05750> within three <07969> days < 03117> shall Pharaoh

<06547> lift <05375> up thy head <07218> from off <05921> thee,
and

shall hang <08518> thee on <05921> a tree < 06086>; and the birds

<05775> shall eat <0398> thy flesh <01320> from off <05921> thee.



20. And it came <01961> to pass the third <07992> day <03117>,

[which was] Pharaoh's <06547> birthday, that he made < 06213> a
feast

<04960> unto all <03605> his servants <05650>: and he lifted
<05375>

up the head <07218> of the chief <08269> butler < 04945> and of
the

chief <08269> baker <0644> among <08432> his servants <05650>.



21 And he restored <07725> the chief <08269> butler <04945>
unto

his butlership <04945> again <07725>; and he gave < 05414> the cup

<03563> into <05921> Pharaoh's <06547> hand < 03709>:



22 But he hanged <08518> the chief <08269> baker <0644>: as
Joseph

<03130> had interpreted <06622> to them.



23 Yet did not the chief <08269> butler <04945> remember
<02142>

Joseph <03130>, but forgat <07911> him.



Genesis 41



1. And it came <01961> to pass at the end <07093> of two full

<03117> years <08141>, that Pharaoh <06547> dreamed <02492>: and,

behold <02009>, he stood <05975> by the river < 02975>.



2 And, behold <02009>, there came <05927> up out of the river

<02975> seven <07651> well <03303> favoured < 04758> kine <06510>
and

fatfleshed <01277>; and they fed <07462> in a meadow <0260>.



3 And, behold <02009>, seven <07651> other < 0312> kine <06510>

came <05927> up after <0310> them out of the river <02975>, ill

<07451> favoured <04758> and leanfleshed; and stood <05975> by
the

[other] kine <06510> upon the brink <08193> of the river <02975>.



4 And the ill <07451> favoured <04758> and leanfleshed kine

<06510> did eat <0398> up the seven <07651> well <03303> favoured

<04758> and fat <01277> kine <06510>. So Pharaoh <06547> awoke

<03364>.



5 And he slept <03462> and dreamed <02492> the second <08145>

time: and, behold <02009>, seven <07651> ears < 07641> of corn
came

<05927> up upon one <0259> stalk <07070>, rank <01277> and good

<02896>.



6 And, behold <02009>, seven <07651> thin < 01851> ears <07641>
and

blasted <07710> with the east <06921> wind sprung < 06779> up
after

<0310> them.



7 And the seven thin <01851> ears <07641> devoured <01104> the

seven <07651> rank <01277> and full <04392> ears <07641>. And

Pharaoh <06547> awoke <03364>, and, behold < 02009>, [it was] a
dream

<02472>.



8 And it came <01961> to pass in the morning <01242> that his

spirit <07307> was troubled <06470>; and he sent < 07971> and
called

<07121> for all <03605> the magicians <02748> of Egypt <04714>,
and

all <03605> the wise <02450> men thereof: and Pharaoh <06547>
told

<05608> them his dream <02472>; but [there was] none <0369> that

could interpret <06622> them unto Pharaoh <06547>.



9. Then spake <01696> the chief <08269> butler < 04945> unto
Pharaoh

<06547>, saying <0559>, I do remember <02142> my faults <02399>
this

day <03117>:



10 Pharaoh <06547> was wroth <07107> with his servants <05650>,

and put <05414> me in ward <04929> in the captain < 08269> of the

guard's <02876> house <01004>, [both] me and the chief <08269>
baker

<0644>:



11 And we dreamed <02492> a dream <02472> in one <0259> night

<03915>, I and he; we dreamed <02492> each man < 0376> according
to

the interpretation <06623> of his dream <02472>.



12 And [there <08033> was] there <08033> with us a young
<05288>

man <0376>, an Hebrew <05680>, servant <05650> to the captain

<08269> of the guard <02876>; and we told < 05608> him, and he

interpreted <06622> to us our dreams <02472>; to each man <0376>

according to his dream <02472> he did interpret < 06622>.



13 And it came <01961> to pass, as he interpreted < 06622> to
us,

so <03651> it was; me he restored <07725> unto mine office
<03653>,

and him he hanged <08518>.



14 Then Pharaoh <06547> sent <07971> and called < 07121> Joseph

<03130>, and they brought <07323> him hastily < 07323> out of the

dungeon <0953>: and he shaved <01548> [himself], and changed
<02498>

his raiment <08071>, and came <0935> in unto Pharaoh <06547>.



15 And Pharaoh <06547> said <0559> unto Joseph < 03130>, I have

dreamed <02492> a dream <02472>, and [there is] none <0369> that
can

interpret <06622> it: and I have heard <08085> say <0559> of
thee,

[that] thou canst understand <08085> a dream <02472> to interpret

<06622> it.



16 And Joseph <03130> answered <06030> Pharaoh < 06547>, saying

<0559>, [It is] not in me: God <0430> shall give Pharaoh <06547>
an

answer <06030> of peace <07965>.



17. And Pharaoh <06547> said <01696> unto Joseph < 03130>, In my

dream <02472>, behold <02009>, I stood <05975> upon the bank
<08193>

of the river <02975>:



18 And, behold <02009>, there came <05927> up out of the river

<02975> seven <07651> kine <06510>, fatfleshed <01277> and well

<03303> favoured <08389>; and they fed <07462> in a meadow
<0260>:



19 And, behold <02009>, seven <07651> other < 0312> kine <06510>

came <05927> up after <0310> them, poor <01800> and very <03966>
ill

<07451> favoured <08389> and leanfleshed <07534> , such <02007>
as I

never <03808> saw <07200> in all <03605> the land <0776> of Egypt

<04714> for badness <07455>:



20 And the lean <07534> and the ill <07451> favoured kine
<06510>

did eat <0398> up the first <07223> seven < 07651> fat <01277>
kine

<06510>:



21 And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known
<03045>

that they had eaten them; but they [were] still ill <07451>

favoured, as at the beginning <08462>. So I awoke < 03364>.



22 And I saw <07200> in my dream <02472>, and, behold <02009>,

seven <07651> ears <07641> came <05927> up in one <0259> stalk

<07070>, full <04392> and good <02896>:



23 And, behold <02009>, seven <07651> ears < 07641>, withered

<06798>, thin <01851>, [and] blasted <07710> with the east
<06921>

wind, sprung <06779> up after <0310> them:



24 And the thin <01851> ears <07641> devoured < 01104> the seven

<07651> good <02896> ears <07641>: and I told <0559> [this] unto
the

magicians <02748>; but [there was] none <0369> that could declare

<05046> [it] to me.



25 And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto Pharaoh < 06547>, The
dream

<02472> of Pharaoh <06547> [is] one <0259>: God <0430> hath
shewed

<05046> Pharaoh <06547> what he [is] about to do < 06213>.



26 The seven <07651> good <02896> kine <06510> [are] seven
<07651>

years <08141>; and the seven <07651> good < 02896> ears <07641>
[are]

seven <07651> years <08141>: the dream <02472> [is] one <0259>.



27 And the seven <07651> thin <07534> and ill < 07451> favoured

kine <06510> that came <05927> up after <0310> them [are] seven

<07651> years <08141>; and the seven <07651> empty <07386> ears

<07641> blasted <07710> with the east <06921> wind shall be seven

<07651> years <08141> of famine <07458>.



28 This [is] the thing <01697> which <0834> I have spoken
<01696>

unto Pharaoh <06547>: What <0834> God <0430> [is] about to do

<06213> he sheweth <07200> unto Pharaoh <06547>.



29 Behold <02009>, there come <0935> seven < 07651> years
<08141>

of great <01419> plenty <07647> throughout all < 03605> the land

<0776> of Egypt <04714>:



30 And there shall arise <06965> after <0310> them seven
<07651>

years <08141> of famine <07458>; and all <03605> the plenty
<07647>

shall be forgotten <07911> in the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>;
and

the famine <07458> shall consume <03615> the land < 0776>;



31 And the plenty <07647> shall not be known <03045> in the
land

<0776> by reason <06440> of that famine <07458> following; for it

[shall be] very <03966> grievous <03515>.



32 And for that the dream <02472> was doubled < 08138> unto
Pharaoh

<06547> twice <06471>; [it is] because <03588> the thing <01697>

[is] established <03559> by God <0430>, and God < 0430> will
shortly

<04116> bring <06213> it to pass <06213>.



33. Now <06258> therefore let Pharaoh <06547> look <07200> out a

man <0376> discreet <0995> and wise <02450>, and set <07896> him

over <05921> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.



34 Let Pharaoh <06547> do <06213> [this], and let him appoint

<06485> officers <06496> over <05921> the land <0776>, and take
up

the fifth <02567> part of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> in the

seven <07651> plenteous <07647> years <08141>.



35 And let them gather <06908> all <03605> the food <0400> of

those <0428> good <02896> years <08141> that come <0935>, and lay

<06651> up corn <01250> under <08478> the hand <03027> of Pharaoh

<06547>, and let them keep <08104> food <0400> in the cities

<05892>.



36 And that food <0400> shall be for store <06487> to the land

<0776> against the seven <07651> years <08141> of famine <07458>,

which <0834> shall be in the land <0776> of Egypt < 04714>; that
the

land <0776> perish <03772> not through the famine < 07458>.



37 And the thing <01697> was good <03190> in the eyes <05869>
of

Pharaoh <06547>, and in the eyes <05869> of all < 03605> his
servants

<05650>.



38 And Pharaoh <06547> said <0559> unto his servants <05650>,
Can

we find <04672> [such a one] as this <02088> [is], a man <0376>
in

whom <0834> the Spirit <07307> of God <0430> [is]?



39 And Pharaoh <06547> said <0559> unto Joseph < 03130>,
Forasmuch

<0310> as God <0430> hath shewed <03045> thee all <03605> this

<02063>, [there is] none <0369> so discreet < 0995> and wise
<02450>

as thou [art]:



40 Thou shalt be over <05921> my house <01004>, and according

<05921> unto thy word <06310> shall all <03605> my people
<05971> be

ruled <05401>: only <07535> in the throne < 03678> will I be
greater

<01431> than thou.



41 And Pharaoh <06547> said <0559> unto Joseph < 03130>, See

<07200>, I have set <05414> thee over <05921> all <03605> the
land

<0776> of Egypt <04714>.



42 And Pharaoh <06547> took <05493> off his ring <02885> from
his

hand <03027>, and put <05414> it upon Joseph's < 03130> hand
<03027>,

and arrayed <03847> him in vestures <0899> of fine linen <08336>,

and put <07760> a gold <02091> chain <07242> about <05921> his
neck

<06677>;



43 And he made him to ride <07392> in the second < 04932>
chariot

<04818> which <0834> he had; and they cried < 07121> before
<06440>

him, Bow <086> the knee: and he made <05414> him [ruler] over

<05921> all <03605> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.



44 And Pharaoh <06547> said <0559> unto Joseph < 03130>, I [am]

Pharaoh <06547>, and without <01107> thee shall no <03808> man

<0376> lift <07311> up his hand <03027> or foot <07272> in all

<03605> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.



45 And Pharaoh <06547> called <07121> Joseph's < 03130> name

<08034> Zaphnathpaaneah; and he gave <05414> him to wife <0802>

Asenath <0621> the daughter <01323> of Potipherah < 06319> priest

<03548> of On <0204>. And Joseph <03130> went <03318> out over

<05921> [all] the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.



46. And Joseph <03130> [was] thirty <07970> years <08141> old

<01121> when he stood <05975> before <06440> Pharaoh <06547> king

<04428> of Egypt <04714>. And Joseph <03130> went <03318> out
from

the presence <06440> of Pharaoh <06547>, and went < 05674>
throughout

all <03605> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.



47 And in the seven <07651> plenteous <07647> years <08141> the

earth <0776> brought <06213> forth <06213> by handfuls <07062>.



48 And he gathered <06908> up all <03605> the food <0400> of
the

seven <07651> years <08141>, which <0834> were in the land
<0776> of

Egypt <04714>, and laid <05414> up the food < 0400> in the cities

<05892>: the food <0400> of the field <07704>, which <0834> [was]

round <05439> about every city <05892>, laid < 05414> he up in the

same.



49 And Joseph <03130> gathered <06651> corn < 01250> as the sand

<02344> of the sea <03220>, very <03966> much <07235>, until
<05704>

he left <02308> numbering <05608>; for [it was] without <0369>

number <04557>.



50 And unto Joseph <03130> were born <03205> two <08147> sons

<01121> before <02962> the years <08141> of famine <07458> came

<0935>, which <0834> Asenath <0621> the daughter <01323> of

Potipherah <06319> priest <03548> of On <0204> bare <03205> unto

him.



51 And Joseph <03130> called <07121> the name < 08034> of the

firstborn <01060> Manasseh <04519>: For God < 0430>, [said he],
hath

made me forget <05382> all <03605> my toil < 05999>, and all
<03605>

my father's <01> house <01004>.



52 And the name <08034> of the second <08145> called <07121> he

Ephraim <0669>: For God <0430> hath caused me to be fruitful
<06509>

in the land <0776> of my affliction <06040>.



53 And the seven <07651> years <08141> of plenteousness
<07647>,

that was in the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, were ended <03615>.



54 And the seven <07651> years <08141> of dearth <07458> began

<02490> to come <0935>, according as Joseph < 03130> had said
<0559>:

and the dearth <07458> was in all <03605> lands < 0776>; but in
all

<03605> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> there was bread <03899>.



55 And when all <03605> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> was

famished <07456>, the people <05971> cried < 06817> to Pharaoh

<06547> for bread <03899>: and Pharaoh <06547> said <0559> unto
all

<03605> the Egyptians <04714>, Go <03212> unto Joseph <03130>;
what

<0834> he saith <0559> to you, do <06213>.



56 And the famine <07458> was over <05921> all < 03605> the face

<06440> of the earth <0776>: And Joseph <03130> opened <06605>
all

<03605> the storehouses <0834>, and sold <07666> unto the
Egyptians

<04714>; and the famine <07458> waxed sore < 02388> in the land

<0776> of Egypt <04714>.



57 And all <03605> countries <0776> came < 0935> into Egypt
<04714>

to Joseph <03130> for to buy <07666> [corn]; because <03588> that

the famine <07458> was [so] sore <02388> in all < 03605> lands

<0776>.



Genesis 42



1. Now when Jacob <03290> saw <07200> that there was corn
<07668>

in Egypt <04714>, Jacob <03290> said <0559> unto his sons
<01121>,

Why <04100> do ye look <07200> one upon another?



2 And he said <0559>, Behold <02009>, I have heard <08085> that

there is corn <07668> in Egypt <04714>: get < 03381> you down
<03381>

thither <08033>, and buy <07666> for us from thence <08033>;
that we

may live <02421>, and not die <04191>.



3 And Joseph's <03130> ten <06235> brethren < 0251> went <03381>

down <03381> to buy <07666> corn <01250> in Egypt <04714>.



4 But Benjamin <01144>, Joseph's <03130> brother <0251>, Jacob

<03290> sent <07971> not with his brethren < 0251>; for he said

<0559>, Lest <06435> peradventure mischief < 0611> befall <07122>

him.



5 And the sons <01121> of Israel <03478> came < 0935> to buy

<07666> [corn] among <08432> those that came < 0935>: for the
famine

<07458> was in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667> .



6 And Joseph <03130> [was] the governor <07989> over <05921>
the

land <0776>, [and] he [it was] that sold <07666> to all <03605>
the

people <05971> of the land <0776>: and Joseph's < 03130> brethren

<0251> came <0935>, and bowed <07812> down < 07812> themselves
before

him [with] their faces <0639> to the earth <0776>.



7. And Joseph <03130> saw <07200> his brethren < 0251>, and he
knew

<05234> them, but made himself strange <05234> unto them, and
spake

<01696> roughly <07186> unto them; and he said < 0559> unto them,

Whence <0370> come <0935> ye? And they said < 0559>, From the land

<0776> of Canaan <03667> to buy <07666> food <0400>.



8 And Joseph <03130> knew <05234> his brethren < 0251>, but they

knew <03045> not him.



9 And Joseph <03130> remembered <02142> the dreams <02472>
which

<0834> he dreamed <02492> of them, and said < 0559> unto them, Ye

[are] spies <07270>; to see <07200> the nakedness < 06172> of the

land <0776> ye are come <0935>.



10 And they said <0559> unto him, Nay <03808>, my lord <0113>,
but

to buy <07666> food <0400> are thy servants < 05650> come <0935>.



11 We [are] all <03605> one <0259> man's < 0376> sons <01121>;
we

[are] true <03651> [men], thy servants <05650> are no <03808>
spies

<07270>.



12 And he said <0559> unto them, Nay <03808>, but to see
<07200>

the nakedness <06172> of the land <0776> ye are come <0935>.



13 And they said <0559>, Thy servants <05650> [are] twelve

brethren <0251>, the sons <01121> of one <0259> man <0376> in the

land <0776> of Canaan <03667>; and, behold < 02009>, the youngest

<06996> [is] this day <03117> with our father < 01>, and one
<0259>

[is] not.



14 And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto them, That [is it] that
I

spake <01696> unto you, saying <0559>, Ye [are] spies <07270>:



15 Hereby <02063> ye shall be proved <0974>: By the life
<02416>

of Pharaoh <06547> ye shall not go <03318> forth < 03318> hence

<02088>, except your youngest <06996> brother < 0251> come <0935>

hither.



16 Send <07971> one <0259> of you, and let him fetch <03947>
your

brother <0251>, and ye shall be kept <0631> in prison, that your

words <01697> may be proved <0974>, whether [there be any] truth

<0571> in you: or else by the life <02416> of Pharaoh <06547>
surely

ye [are] spies <07270>.



17 And he put <0622> them all <0622> together into <0413> ward

<04929> three <07969> days <03117>.



18 And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto them the third <07992>
day

<03117>, This <02063> do <06213>, and live < 02421>; [for] I fear

<03373> God <0430>:



19 If <0518> ye [be] true <03651> [men], let one <0259> of your

brethren <0251> be bound <0631> in the house < 01004> of your
prison

<04929>: go <03212> ye, carry <0935> corn < 07668> for the famine

<07459> of your houses <01004>:



20 But bring <0935> your youngest <06996> brother <0251> unto
me;

so shall your words <01697> be verified <0539>, and ye shall not
die

<04191>. And they did <06213> so <03651>.



21. And they said <0559> one <0376> to another < 0250>, We [are]

verily <061> guilty <0816> concerning <05921> our brother <0251>,
in

that we saw <07200> the anguish <06869> of his soul <05315>,
when he

besought <02603> us, and we would not hear <08085>; therefore is

this <02063> distress <06869> come <0935> upon us.



22 And Reuben <07205> answered <06030> them, saying <0559>,
Spake

<0559> I not unto you, saying <0559>, Do not sin < 02398> against
the

child <03206>; and ye would not hear <08085>? therefore <01571>,

behold <02009>, also <01571> his blood <01818> is required
<01875>.



23 And they knew <03045> not that Joseph <03130> understood

<08085> [them]; for he spake unto them by an interpreter <03887>.



24 And he turned <05437> himself about from them, and wept

<01058>; and returned <07725> to them again < 07725>, and communed

<01696> with them, and took <03947> from them Simeon <08095>, and

bound <0631> him before their eyes <05869>.



25 Then Joseph <03130> commanded <06680> to fill <04390> their

sacks <03672> with corn <01250>, and to restore < 07725> every
man's

<0376> money <03701> into <0413> his sack < 08242>, and to give

<05414> them provision <06720> for the way < 01870>: and thus
<03651>

did <06213> he unto them.



26 And they laded <05375> their asses <02543> with the corn

<07668>, and departed <03212> thence <08033>.



27 And as one <0259> of them opened <06605> his sack <08242> to

give <05414> his ass <02543> provender <04554> in the inn
<04411>,

he espied <07200> his money <03701>; for, behold < 02009>, it
[was]

in his sack's <0572> mouth <06310>.



28 And he said <0559> unto his brethren <0251>, My money
<03701>

is restored <07725>; and, lo <02009>, [it is] even in my sack

<0572>: and their heart <03820> failed <03318> [them], and they
were

afraid <02729>, saying <0559> one <0376> to another <0250>, What

<04100> [is] this <02063> [that] God <0430> hath done <06213>
unto

us?



29. And they came <0935> unto Jacob <03290> their father <01>
unto

the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, and told < 05046> him all
<03605>

that befell <07136> unto them; saying <0559>,



30 The man <0376>, [who is] the lord <0113> of the land <0776>,

spake <01696> roughly <07186> to us, and took < 05414> us for
spies

<07270> of the country <0776>.



31 And we said <0559> unto him, We [are] true < 03651> [men]; we

are no <03808> spies <07270>:



32 We [be] twelve brethren <0251>, sons <01121> of our father

<01>; one <0259> [is] not, and the youngest < 06996> [is] this day

<03117> with our father <01> in the land <0776> of Canaan
<03667>.



33 And the man <0376>, the lord <0113> of the country <0776>,
said

<0559> unto us, Hereby <02063> shall I know < 03045> that ye [are]

true <03651> [men]; leave <03241> one <0259> of your brethren
<0251>

[here] with me, and take <03947> [food for] the famine < 07459> of

your households <01004>, and be gone <03212>:



34 And bring <0935> your youngest <06996> brother <0251> unto
me:

then shall I know <03045> that ye [are] no <03808> spies <07270>,

but [that] ye [are] true <03651> [men: so] will I deliver <05414>

you your brother <0251>, and ye shall traffick <05503> in the
land

<0776>.



35 And it came <01961> to pass as they emptied < 07324> their
sacks

<08242>, that, behold <02009>, every man's < 0376> bundle <06872>
of

money <03701> [was] in his sack <08242>: and when [both] they and

their father <01> saw <07200> the bundles < 06872> of money
<03701>,

they were afraid <03372>.



36 And Jacob <03290> their father <01> said < 0559> unto them,
Me

have ye bereaved <07921> [of my children]: Joseph < 03130> [is]
not,

and Simeon <08095> [is] not, and ye will take <03947> Benjamin

<01144> [away]: all <03605> these things are against <05921> me.



37 And Reuben <07205> spake <0559> unto his father <01>, saying

<0559>, Slay <04191> my two <08147> sons < 01121>, if I bring
<0935>

him not to thee: deliver <05414> him into <05921> my hand
<03027>,

and I will bring <07725> him to thee again <07725>.



38 And he said <0559>, My son <01121> shall not go <03381> down

<03381> with you; for his brother <0251> is dead < 04191>, and he
is

left <07604> alone <0905>: if mischief <0611> befall <07122> him
by

the way <01870> in the which <0834> ye go < 03212>, then shall ye

bring <03381> down <03381> my gray <07872> hairs with sorrow
<03015>

to the grave <07585>.



Genesis 43



1. And the famine <07458> [was] sore <03515> in the land <0776>.



2 And it came <01961> to pass, when <0834> they had eaten
<0398>

up the corn <07668> which <0834> they had brought < 0935> out of

Egypt <04714>, their father <01> said <0559> unto them, Go
<07725>

again <07725>, buy <07666> us a little <04592> food <0400>.



3 And Judah <03063> spake <0559> unto him, saying <0559>, The
man

<0376> did solemnly <05749> protest <05749> unto us, saying
<0559>,

Ye shall not see <07200> my face <06440>, except < 01115> your

brother <0251> [be] with you.



4 If <0518> thou wilt send <07971> our brother < 0251> with us,
we

will go <03381> down <03381> and buy <07666> thee food <0400>:



5 But if <0518> thou wilt not send <07971> [him], we will not
go

<03381> down <03381>: for the man <0376> said <0559> unto us, Ye

shall not see <07200> my face <06440>, except < 01115> your
brother

<0251> [be] with you.



6 And Israel <03478> said <0559>, Wherefore < 04100> dealt ye
[so]

ill <07489> with me, [as] to tell <05046> the man < 0376> whether

<05750> ye had yet <05750> a brother <0251>?



7 And they said <0559>, The man <0376> asked < 07592> us
straitly

of our state, and of our kindred <04138>, saying < 0559>, [Is]
your

father <01> yet alive <02416>? have <03426> ye [another] brother

<0251>? and we told <05046> him according < 05921> to the tenor

<06310> of these <0428> words <01697>: could we certainly know

<03045> that he would say <0559>, Bring <03381> your brother
<0251>

down <03381>?



8 And Judah <03063> said <0559> unto Israel < 03478> his father

<01>, Send <07971> the lad <05288> with me, and we will arise

<06965> and go <03212>; that we may live <02421> , and not die

<04191>, both <01571> we, and thou, [and] also < 01571> our little

<02945> ones.



9 I will be surety <06148> for him; of my hand < 03027> shalt
thou

require <01245> him: if <0518> I bring <0935> him not unto thee,
and

set <03322> him before <06440> thee, then let me bear <02398> the

blame <02398> for ever:



10 For except <03884> we had lingered <04102>, surely <03588>
now

<06258> we had returned <07725> this <02088> second time <06471>.



11. And their father <01> Israel <03478> said < 0559> unto them,
If

<0518> [it must be] so <03651> now <0645>, do <06213> this
<02063>;

take <03947> of the best <02173> fruits <02173> in the land
<0776>

in your vessels <03627>, and carry <03381> down < 03381> the man

<0376> a present <04503>, a little <04592> balm <06875>, and a

little <04592> honey <01706>, spices <05219>, and myrrh <03910>,

nuts <0992>, and almonds <08247>:



12 And take <03947> double <04932> money < 03701> in your hand

<03027>; and the money <03701> that was brought < 07725> again

<07725> in the mouth <06310> of your sacks < 0572>, carry <07725>

[it] again <07725> in your hand <03027>; peradventure <0194> it

[was] an oversight <04870>:



13 Take <03947> also your brother <0251>, and arise <06965>, go

<07725> again <07725> unto the man <0376>:



14 And God <0410> Almighty <07706> give < 05414> you mercy
<07356>

before <06440> the man <0376>, that he may send < 07971> away your

other <0312> brother <0251>, and Benjamin < 01144>. If <0834> I be

bereaved <07921> [of my children], I am bereaved < 07921>.



15. And the men <0582> took <03947> that present < 04503>, and
they

took <03947> double <04932> money <03701> in their hand <03027>,
and

Benjamin <01144>; and rose <06965> up, and went < 03381> down
<03381>

to Egypt <04714>, and stood <05975> before < 06440> Joseph
<03130>.



16 And when <03588> Joseph <03130> saw <07200> Benjamin <01144>

with them, he said <0559> to the ruler of his house < 01004>,
Bring

<0935> [these] men <0582> home <01004>, and slay <02875>, and
make

ready <03559>; for [these] men <0582> shall dine < 0398> with me
at

noon <06672>.



17 And the man <0376> did <06213> as Joseph < 03130> bade
<0559>;

and the man <0376> brought <0935> the men <0582> into Joseph's

<03130> house <01004>.



18 And the men <0582> were afraid <03372>, because <03588> they

were brought <0935> into Joseph's <03130> house < 01004>; and they

said <0559>, Because of the money <03701> that was returned
<07725>

in our sacks <0572> at the first <08462> time < 08462> are we
brought

<0935> in; that he may seek <01556> occasion < 01556> against
<05921>

us, and fall <05307> upon us, and take <03947> us for bondmen

<05650>, and our asses <02543>.



19 And they came <05066> near <05066> to the steward of
Joseph's

<03130> house <01004>, and they communed <01696> with him at the

door <06607> of the house <01004>,



20 And said <0559>, O sir <0113>, we came < 03381> indeed down

<03381> at the first <08462> time <08462> to buy <07666> food

<0400>:



21 And it came <01961> to pass, when <03588> we came <0935> to
the

inn <04411>, that we opened <06605> our sacks < 0572>, and, behold

<02009>, [every] man's <0376> money <03701> [was] in the mouth

<06310> of his sack <0572>, our money <03701> in full weight

<04948>: and we have brought <07725> it again < 07725> in our hand

<03027>.



22 And other <0312> money <03701> have we brought <03381> down

<03381> in our hands <03027> to buy <07666> food <0400>: we
cannot

<03808> tell <03045> who <04310> put < 07760> our money <03701> in

our sacks <0572>.



23 And he said <0559>, Peace <07965> [be] to you, fear <03372>

not: your God <0430>, and the God <0430> of your father <01>,
hath

given <05414> you treasure <04301> in your sacks < 0572>: I had

<0935> your money <03701>. And he brought < 03318> Simeon <08095>
out

unto them.



24 And the man <0376> brought <0935> the men < 0582> into
Joseph's

<03130> house <01004>, and gave <05414> [them] water <04325>, and

they washed <07364> their feet <07272>; and he gave <05414> their

asses <02543> provender <04554>.



25 And they made ready <03559> the present <04503> against
<05704>

Joseph <03130> came <0935> at noon <06672>: for they heard
<08085>

that they should eat <0398> bread <03899> there < 08033>.



26. And when Joseph <03130> came <0935> home < 01004>, they
brought

<0935> him the present <04503> which <0834> [was] in their hand

<03027> into the house <01004>, and bowed < 07812> themselves to
him

to the earth <0776>.



27 And he asked <07592> them of [their] welfare < 07965>, and
said

<0559>, [Is] your father <01> well <07965>, the old <02205> man
of

whom <0834> ye spake <0559>? [Is] he yet <05750> alive <02416>?



28 And they answered <0559>, Thy servant <05650> our father
<01>

[is] in good <07965> health <07965>, he [is] yet < 05750> alive

<02416>. And they bowed <06915> down <06915> their heads, and
made

obeisance <07812>.



29 And he lifted <05375> up his eyes <05869>, and saw <07200>
his

brother <0251> Benjamin <01144>, his mother's < 0517> son <01121>,

and said <0559>, [Is] this <02088> your younger < 06996> brother

<0251>, of whom <0834> ye spake <0559> unto me? And he said
<0559>,

God <0430> be gracious <02603> unto thee, my son < 01121>.



30 And Joseph <03130> made haste <04116>; for his bowels
<07358>

did yearn <03648> upon his brother <0251>: and he sought <01245>

[where] to weep <01058>; and he entered <0935> into [his] chamber

<02315>, and wept <01058> there <08033>.



31 And he washed <07364> his face <06440>, and went <03318>
out,

and refrained <0662> himself, and said <0559>, Set <07760> on
bread

<03899>.



32 And they set <07760> on for him by himself, and for them by

themselves <0905>, and for the Egyptians <04713>, which did eat

<0398> with him, by themselves <0905>: because < 03588> the
Egyptians

<04713> might <03201> not eat <0398> bread < 03899> with the
Hebrews

<05680>; for that [is] an abomination <08441> unto the Egyptians

<04714>.



33 And they sat <03427> before <06440> him, the firstborn
<01060>

according to his birthright <01062>, and the youngest < 06810>

according to his youth <06812>: and the men <0582> marvelled
<08539>

one <0376> at <0413> another <07453>.



34 And he took <05375> [and sent <07971>] messes <04864> unto
them

from before <06440> him: but Benjamin's <01144> mess <04864> was

five <02568> times <03027> so much <07235> as any of theirs. And

they drank <08354>, and were merry <07937> with him.



Genesis 44



1. And he commanded <06680> the steward <05921> of his house

<01004>, saying <0559>, Fill <04390> the men's <0582> sacks
<0572>

[with] food <0400>, as much <0834> as they can < 03201> carry

<05375>, and put <07760> every man's <0376> money <03701> in his

sack's <0572> mouth <06310>.



2 And put <07760> my cup <01375>, the silver < 03701> cup
<01375>,

in the sack's <0572> mouth <06310> of the youngest <06996>, and
his

corn <07668> money <03701>. And he did <06213> according to the
word

<01697> that Joseph <03130> had spoken <01696>.



3 As soon as the morning <01242> was light <0216>, the men
<0582>

were sent <07971> away, they and their asses <02543>.



4 [And] when they were gone <03318> out of the city < 05892>,
[and]

not [yet] far <07368> off, Joseph <03130> said < 0559> unto his

steward <05921>, Up, follow <07291> after <0310> the men <0582>;
and

when thou dost overtake <05381> them, say <0559> unto them,

Wherefore <04100> have ye rewarded <07999> evil < 07451> for good

<02896>?



5 [Is] not this <02088> [it] in which <0834> my lord <0113>

drinketh <08354>, and whereby indeed he divineth < 05172>? ye have

done evil <07489> in so <0834> doing <06213>.



6 And he overtook <05381> them, and he spake <01696> unto them

these <0411> same words <01697>.



7 And they said <0559> unto him, Wherefore <04100> saith
<01696>

my lord <0113> these <0428> words <01697>? God forbid <02486>
that

thy servants <05650> should do <06213> according to this <02088>

thing <01697>:



8 Behold <02005>, the money <03701>, which < 0834> we found
<04672>

in our sacks <0572>' mouths <06310>, we brought < 07725> again

<07725> unto thee out of the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>: how

<0349> then should we steal <01589> out of thy lord's <0113>
house

<01004> silver <03701> or <0176> gold < 02091>?



9 With whomsoever <0834> of thy servants <05650> it be found

<04672>, both let him die <04191>, and we also < 01571> will be my

lord's <0113> bondmen <05650>.



10 And he said <0559>, Now <06258> also < 01571> [let] it [be]

according unto your words <01697>: he with whom <0834> it is
found

<04672> shall be my servant <05650>; and ye shall be blameless

<05355>.



11 Then they speedily <04116> took <03381> down < 03381> every
man

<0376> his sack <0572> to the ground <0776>, and opened <06605>

every man <0376> his sack <0572>.



12 And he searched <02664>, [and] began <02490> at the eldest

<01419>, and left <03615> at the youngest < 06996>: and the cup

<01375> was found <04672> in Benjamin's <01144> sack <0572>.



13 Then they rent <07167> their clothes <08071>, and laded
<06006>

every man <0376> his ass <02543>, and returned < 07725> to the
city

<05892>.



14 And Judah <03063> and his brethren <0251> came <0935> to

Joseph's <03130> house <01004>; for he [was] yet < 05750> there

<08033>: and they fell <05307> before <06440> him on the ground

<0776>.



15 And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto them, What <04100> deed

<04639> [is] this that ye have done <06213>? wot < 03045> ye not
that

such a man <0376> as I can certainly divine <05172>?



16 And Judah <03063> said <0559>, What <04100> shall we say
<0559>

unto my lord <0113>? what <04100> shall we speak < 01696>? or how

<04100> shall we clear <06663> ourselves? God < 0430> hath found

<04672> out the iniquity <05771> of thy servants < 05650>: behold

<02009>, we [are] my lord's <0113> servants < 05650>, both <01571>

we, and [he] also <01571> with whom <0834> the cup <01375> is
found

<04672>.



17 And he said <0559>, God forbid <02486> that I should do
<06213>

so <02063>: [but] the man <0376> in whose hand < 03027> the cup

<01375> is found <04672>, he shall be my servant < 05650>; and as
for

you, get <05927> you up in peace <07965> unto your father <01>.



18. Then Judah <03063> came <05066> near < 05066> unto him, and
said

<0559>, Oh <0994> my lord <0113>, let thy servant <05650>, I pray

<04994> thee, speak <01696> a word <01697> in my lord's <0113>
ears

<0241>, and let not thine anger <0639> burn < 02734> against thy

servant <05650>: for thou [art] even as Pharaoh < 06547>.



19 My lord <0113> asked <07592> his servants < 05650>, saying

<0559>, Have <03426> ye a father <01>, or < 0176> a brother
<0251>?



20 And we said <0559> unto my lord <0113>, We have <03426> a

father <01>, an old <02208> man <0376>, and a child <03206> of
his

old <02208> age, a little <06966> one; and his brother <0251> is

dead <04191>, and he alone <0905> is left < 03498> of his mother

<0517>, and his father <01> loveth <0157> him.



21 And thou saidst <0559> unto thy servants <05650>, Bring
<03381>

him down <03381> unto me, that I may set <07760> mine eyes
<05869>

upon him.



22 And we said <0559> unto my lord <0113>, The lad <05288>
cannot

leave <05800> his father <01>: for [if] he should leave <05800>
his

father, [his father] would die <04191>.



23 And thou saidst <0559> unto thy servants <05650>, Except
your

youngest <06996> brother <0251> come <03381> down <03381> with
you,

ye shall see <07200> my face <06440> no <03808> more <03254>.



24 And it came <01961> to pass when <03588> we came <05927> up

unto thy servant <05650> my father <01>, we told < 05046> him the

words <01697> of my lord <0113>.



25 And our father <01> said <0559>, Go <07725> again <07725>,

[and] buy <07666> us a little <04592> food < 0400>.



26 And we said <0559>, We cannot go <03381> down <03381>: if

<0518> our youngest <06996> brother <0251> be with us, then will
we

go <03381> down <03381>: for we may <03201> not see <07200> the

man's <0376> face <06440>, except <0369> our youngest <06996>

brother <0251> [be] with us.



27 And thy servant <05650> my father <01> said < 0559> unto us,
Ye

know <03045> that my wife <0802> bare <03205> me two <08147>
[sons]:



28 And the one <0259> went <03318> out from me, and I said
<0559>,

Surely <0389> he is torn <02963> in pieces; and I saw <07200> him

not since <02008>:



29 And if <0518> ye take <03947> this <02088> also <01571> from

me, and mischief <0611> befall <07136> him, ye shall bring
<03381>

down <03381> my gray <07872> hairs with sorrow < 07451> to the
grave

<07585>.



30 Now <06258> therefore when I come <0935> to thy servant
<05650>

my father <01>, and the lad <05288> [be] not with us; seeing that

his life <05315> is bound <07194> up in the lad's < 05288> life;



31 It shall come <01961> to pass, when he seeth < 07200> that
the

lad <05288> [is] not [with us], that he will die < 04191>: and thy

servants <05650> shall bring <03381> down < 03381> the gray
<07872>

hairs of thy servant <05650> our father <01> with sorrow <03015>
to

the grave <07585>.



32 For thy servant <05650> became <06148> surety <06148> for
the

lad <05288> unto my father <01>, saying <0559>, If <0518> I bring

<0935> him not unto thee, then I shall bear <02398> the blame

<02398> to my father <01> for ever.



33 Now <06258> therefore, I pray <04994> thee, let thy servant

<05650> abide <03427> instead <08478> of the lad <05288> a
bondman

<05650> to my lord <0113>; and let the lad < 05288> go <05927> up

with his brethren <0251>.



34 For how <0349> shall I go <05927> up to my father <01>, and
the

lad <05288> [be] not with me? lest <06435> peradventure I see

<07200> the evil <07451> that shall come <04672> on my father
<01>.



Genesis 45



1. Then Joseph <03130> could <03201> not refrain < 0662> himself

before all <03605> them that stood <05324> by him; and he cried

<07121>, Cause every <03605> man <0376> to go <03318> out from
me.

And there stood <05975> no <03808> man <0376> with him, while
Joseph

<03130> made himself known <03045> unto his brethren <0251>.



2 And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians <04714> and the house

<01004> of Pharaoh <06547> heard <08085>.



3 And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto his brethren <0251>, I
[am]

Joseph <03130>; doth my father <01> yet <05750> live <02416>? And

his brethren <0251> could <03201> not answer < 06030> him; for
they

were troubled <0926> at his presence <06440>.



4 And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto his brethren <0251>, Come

<05066> near <05066> to me, I pray <04994> you. And they came

<05066> near <05066>. And he said <0559>, I [am] Joseph <03130>
your

brother <0251>, whom <0834> ye sold <04376> into Egypt <04714>.



5 Now <06258> therefore be not grieved <06087>, nor <0408>
angry

<02734> with yourselves <05869>, that ye sold < 04376> me hither:
for

God <0430> did send <07971> me before <06440> you to preserve

<04241> life.



6 For these <02088> two years <08141> [hath] the famine <07458>

[been] in the land <0776>: and yet <05750> [there are] five
<02568>

years <08141>, in the which <0834> [there shall] neither <0369>
[be]

earing <02758> nor harvest <07105>.



7 And God <0430> sent <07971> me before < 06440> you to preserve

<07760> you a posterity <07611> in the earth < 0776>, and to save

<02421> your lives <02421> by a great <01419> deliverance
<06413>.



8 So now <06258> [it was] not you [that] sent < 07971> me
hither,

but God <0430>: and he hath made <07760> me a father <01> to
Pharaoh

<06547>, and lord <0113> of all <03605> his house <01004>, and a

ruler <04910> throughout all <03605> the land < 0776> of Egypt

<04714>.



9 Haste <04116> ye, and go <05927> up to my father <01>, and
say

<0559> unto him, Thus <03541> saith <0559> thy son <01121> Joseph

<03130>, God <0430> hath made <07760> me lord <0113> of all
<03605>

Egypt <04714>: come <03381> down <03381> unto me, tarry <05975>
not:



10 And thou shalt dwell <03427> in the land <0776> of Goshen

<01657>, and thou shalt be near <07138> unto me, thou, and thy

children <01121>, and thy children's <01121> children <01121>,
and

thy flocks <06629>, and thy herds <01241>, and all <03605> that
thou

hast:



11 And there <08033> will I nourish <03557> thee; for yet
<05750>

[there are] five <02568> years <08141> of famine < 07458>; lest

<06435> thou, and thy household <01004>, and all < 03605> that
thou

hast, come to poverty <03423>.



12 And, behold <02009>, your eyes <05869> see < 07200>, and the

eyes <05869> of my brother <0251> Benjamin < 01144>, that [it is]
my

mouth <06310> that speaketh <01696> unto you.



13 And ye shall tell <05046> my father <01> of all <03605> my

glory <03519> in Egypt <04714>, and of all < 03605> that ye have
seen

<07200>; and ye shall haste <04116> and bring < 03381> down
<03381>

my father hither.



14 And he fell <05307> upon his brother <0251> Benjamin's
<01144>

neck <06677>, and wept <01058>; and Benjamin < 01144> wept <01058>

upon his neck <06677>.



15 Moreover he kissed <05401> all <03605> his brethren <0251>,
and

wept <01058> upon them: and after <0310> that his brethren <0251>

talked <01696> with him.



16. And the fame <06963> thereof was heard <08085> in Pharaoh's

<06547> house <01004>, saying <0559>, Joseph's <03130> brethren

<0251> are come <0935>: and it pleased Pharaoh < 06547> well, and
his

servants <05650>.



17 And Pharaoh <06547> said <0559> unto Joseph < 03130>, Say
<0559>

unto thy brethren <0251>, This <02063> do < 06213> ye; lade
<02943>

your beasts <01165>, and go <03212>, get <0935> you unto the land

<0776> of Canaan <03667>;



18 And take <03947> your father <01> and your households
<01004>,

and come <0935> unto me: and I will give <05414> you the good

<02898> of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, and ye shall eat
<0398>

the fat <02459> of the land <0776>.



19 Now thou art commanded <06680>, this <02063> do <06213> ye;

take <03947> you wagons <05699> out of the land < 0776> of Egypt

<04714> for your little <02945> ones, and for your wives <0802>,
and

bring <05375> your father <01>, and come <0935>.



20 Also regard not your stuff <03627>; for the good < 02898> of
all

<03605> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> [is] yours.



21 And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> did <06213> so

<03651>: and Joseph <03130> gave <05414> them wagons <05699>,

according <05921> to the commandment <06310> of Pharaoh <06547>,
and

gave <05414> them provision <06720> for the way < 01870>.



22 To all <03605> of them he gave <05414> each man <0376>
changes

<02487> of raiment <08071>; but to Benjamin < 01144> he gave
<05414>

three <07969> hundred <03967> [pieces] of silver < 03701>, and
five

<02568> changes <02487> of raiment <08071>.



23 And to his father <01> he sent <07971> after this <02063>

[manner]; ten <06235> asses <0860> laden <05375> with the good

<02898> things of Egypt <04714>, and ten <06235> she asses
<02543>

laden <05375> with corn <01250> and bread < 03899> and meat
<04202>

for his father <01> by the way <01870>.



24 So he sent <07971> his brethren <0251> away, and they
departed

<03212>: and he said <0559> unto them, See that ye fall <07264>
not

out by the way <01870>.



25. And they went <05927> up out of Egypt <04714>, and came
<0935>

into the land <0776> of Canaan <03667> unto Jacob < 03290> their

father <01>,



26 And told <05046> him, saying <0559>, Joseph < 03130> [is] yet

<05750> alive <02416>, and he [is] governor < 04910> over <05921>
all

<03605> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>. And Jacob's heart
<03820>

fainted <06313>, for he believed <0539> them not.



27 And they told <01696> him all <03605> the words <01697> of

Joseph <03130>, which <0834> he had said <01697> unto them: and
when

he saw <07200> the wagons <05699> which <0834> Joseph <03130> had

sent <07971> to carry <05375> him, the spirit < 07307> of Jacob

<03290> their father <01> revived <02421>:



28 And Israel <03478> said <0559>, [It is] enough <07227>;
Joseph

<03130> my son <01121> [is] yet <05750> alive <02416>: I will go

<03212> and see <07200> him before <02962> I die <04191>.



Genesis 46



1. And Israel <03478> took his journey <05265> with all <03605>

that he had, and came <0935> to Beersheba <0884>, and offered

<02076> sacrifices <02077> unto the God <0430> of his father <01>

Isaac <03327>.



2 And God <0430> spake <0559> unto Israel < 03478> in the
visions

<04759> of the night <03915>, and said <0559>, Jacob <03290>,
Jacob

<03290>. And he said <0559>, Here <02009> [am] I.



3 And he said <0559>, I [am] God <0430>, the God <0430> of thy

father <01>: fear <03372> not to go <03381> down <03381> into
Egypt

<04714>; for I will there <08033> make <06213> of thee a great

<01419> nation <01471>:



4 I will go <03381> down <03381> with thee into Egypt <04714>;
and

I will also <01571> surely bring <05927> thee up [again]: and
Joseph

<03130> shall put <07896> his hand <03027> upon thine eyes
<05869>.



5. And Jacob <03290> rose <06965> up from Beersheba <0884>: and
the

sons <01121> of Israel <03478> carried <05375> Jacob <03290>
their

father <01>, and their little <02945> ones, and their wives
<0802>,

in the wagons <05699> which <0834> Pharaoh < 06547> had sent
<07971>

to carry <05375> him.



6 And they took <03947> their cattle <04735>, and their goods

<07399>, which <0834> they had gotten <07408> in the land <0776>
of

Canaan <03667>, and came <0935> into Egypt < 04714>, Jacob
<03290>,

and all <03605> his seed <02233> with him:



7 His sons <01121>, and his sons <01121>' sons < 01121> with
him,

his daughters <01363>, and his sons <01121>' daughters <01363>,
and

all <03605> his seed <02233> brought <0935> he with him into
Egypt

<04714>.



8 And these <0428> [are] the names <08034> of the children
<01121>

of Israel <03478>, which came <0935> into Egypt < 04714>, Jacob

<03290> and his sons <01121>: Reuben <07205>, Jacob's <03290>

Guni <01476>, and Jezer <03337>, and Shillem < 08006>.



25 These <0428> [are] the sons <01121> of Bilhah <01090>, which

<0834> Laban <03837> gave <05414> unto Rachel <07354> his
daughter

<01323>, and she bare <03205> these <0428> unto Jacob <03290>:
all

<03605> the souls <05315> [were] seven <07651>.



26 All <03605> the souls <05315> that came < 0935> with Jacob

<03290> into Egypt <04714>, which came <03318> out of his loins

<03409>, besides <0905> Jacob's <03290> sons <01121>' wives
<0802>,

all <03605> the souls <05315> [were] threescore < 08346> and six

<08337>;



27 And the sons <01121> of Joseph <03130>, which <0834> were
born

<03205> him in Egypt <04714>, [were] two <08147> souls <05315>:
all

<03605> the souls <05315> of the house <01004> of Jacob <03290>,

which came <0935> into Egypt <04714>, [were] threescore <07657>
and

ten.



28. And he sent <07971> Judah <03063> before < 06440> him unto

Joseph <03130>, to direct <03384> his face < 06440> unto Goshen

<01657>; and they came <0935> into the land < 0776> of Goshen

<01657>.



29 And Joseph <03130> made ready <0631> his chariot <04818>,
and

went <05927> up to meet <07125> Israel <03478> his father <01>,
to

Goshen <01657>, and presented <07200> himself unto him; and he
fell

<05307> on <05921> his neck <06677>, and wept <01058> on <05921>
his

neck <06677> a good <05750> while <05750>.



30 And Israel <03478> said <0559> unto Joseph < 03130>, Now
<06471>

let me die <04191>, since <0310> I have seen < 07200> thy face

<06440>, because <03588> thou [art] yet <05750> alive <02416>.



31 And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto his brethren <0251>, and

unto his father's <01> house <01004>, I will go < 05927> up, and
shew

<05046> Pharaoh <06547>, and say <0559> unto him, My brethren

<0251>, and my father's <01> house <01004>, which <0834> [were]
in

the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, are come < 0935> unto me;



32 And the men <0582> [are] shepherds, for their trade <0582>
hath

been <01961> to feed cattle <04735>; and they have brought <0935>

their flocks <06629>, and their herds <01241>, and all <03605>
that

they have.



33 And it shall come <01961> to pass, when <03588> Pharaoh
<06547>

shall call <07121> you, and shall say <0559>, What <04100> [is]
your

occupation <04639>?



34 That ye shall say <0559>, Thy servants <05650>' trade <0582>

hath been <01961> about cattle <04735> from our youth <05271>
even

until <05704> now <06258>, both <01571> we, [and] also <01571>
our

fathers <01>: that ye may dwell <03427> in the land <0776> of
Goshen

<01657>; for every <03605> shepherd [is] an abomination <08441>
unto

the Egyptians <04714>.



Genesis 47



1. Then Joseph <03130> came <0935> and told < 05046> Pharaoh

<06547>, and said <0559>, My father <01> and my brethren <0251>,
and

their flocks <06629>, and their herds <01241>, and all <03605>
that

they have, are come <0935> out of the land <0776> of Canaan
<03667>;

and, behold <02009>, they [are] in the land <0776> of Goshen

<01657>.



2 And he took <03947> some <07097> of his brethren <0251>,
[even]

five <02568> men <0582>, and presented <03322> them unto Pharaoh

<06547>.



3 And Pharaoh <06547> said <0559> unto his brethren <0251>,
What

<04100> [is] your occupation <04639>? And they said <0559> unto

Pharaoh <06547>, Thy servants <05650> [are] shepherds, both
<01571>

we, [and] also <01571> our fathers <01>.



4 They said <0559> moreover unto Pharaoh <06547>, For to
sojourn

<01481> in the land <0776> are we come <0935>; for thy servants

<05650> have no <0369> pasture <04829> for their flocks <06629>;
for

the famine <07458> [is] sore <03515> in the land < 0776> of Canaan

<03667>: now <06258> therefore, we pray <04994> thee, let thy

servants <05650> dwell <03427> in the land < 0776> of Goshen
<01657>.



5 And Pharaoh <06547> spake <0559> unto Joseph < 03130>, saying

<0559>, Thy father <01> and thy brethren <0251> are come <0935>
unto

thee:



6 The land <0776> of Egypt <04714> [is] before < 06440> thee; in

the best <04315> of the land <0776> make thy father <01> and

brethren <0251> to dwell <03427>; in the land < 0776> of Goshen

<01657> let them dwell <03427>: and if <0518> thou knowest
<03045>

[any] men <0582> of activity <02428> among them, then make
<07760>

them rulers <08269> over <05921> my cattle < 04735>.



7 And Joseph <03130> brought <0935> in Jacob < 03290> his father

<01>, and set <05975> him before <06440> Pharaoh <06547>: and
Jacob

<03290> blessed <01288> Pharaoh <06547>.



8 And Pharaoh <06547> said <0559> unto Jacob < 03290>, How
<04100>

old [art] thou?



9 And Jacob <03290> said <0559> unto Pharaoh < 06547>, The days

<03117> of the years <08141> of my pilgrimage < 04033> [are] an

hundred <03967> and thirty <07970> years <08141> : few <04592> and

evil <07451> have the days <03117> of the years < 08141> of my
life

<02416> been <01961>, and have not attained < 05381> unto the days

<03117> of the years <08141> of the life <02416> of my fathers
<01>

in the days <03117> of their pilgrimage <04033>.



10 And Jacob <03290> blessed <01288> Pharaoh < 06547>, and went

<03318> out from before <06440> Pharaoh <06547>.



11 And Joseph <03130> placed <03427> his father < 01> and his

brethren <0251>, and gave <05414> them a possession <0272> in the

land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, in the best < 04315> of the land

<0776>, in the land <0776> of Rameses <07486>, as Pharaoh <06547>

had commanded <06680>.



12 And Joseph <03130> nourished <03557> his father <01>, and
his

brethren <0251>, and all <03605> his father's < 01> household

<01004>, with bread <03899>, according <06310> to [their]
families

<02945>.



13. And [there was] no <0369> bread <03899> in all <03605> the
land

<0776>; for the famine <07458> [was] very < 03966> sore <03515>,
so

that the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> and [all] the land <0776>
of

Canaan <03667> fainted <03856> by reason <06440> of the famine

<07458>.



14 And Joseph <03130> gathered <03950> up all < 03605> the money

<03701> that was found <04672> in the land < 0776> of Egypt
<04714>,

and in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, for the corn <07668>
which

<0834> they bought <07666>: and Joseph <03130> brought <0935> the

money <03701> into Pharaoh's <06547> house < 01004>.



15 And when money <03701> failed <08552> in the land <0776> of

Egypt <04714>, and in the land <0776> of Canaan < 03667>, all
<03605>

the Egyptians <04714> came <0935> unto Joseph < 03130>, and said

<0559>, Give <03051> us bread <03899>: for why <04100> should we
die

<04191> in thy presence <05048>? for the money < 03701> faileth

<0656>.



16 And Joseph <03130> said <0559>, Give < 03051> your cattle

<04735>; and I will give <05414> you for your cattle <04735>, if

<0518> money <03701> fail <0656>.



17 And they brought <0935> their cattle <04735> unto Joseph

<03130>: and Joseph <03130> gave <05414> them bread <03899> [in

exchange] for horses <05483>, and for the flocks < 06629>, and for

the cattle <04735> of the herds <01241>, and for the asses
<02543>:

and he fed <05095> them with bread <03899> for all <03605> their

cattle <04735> for that year <08141>.



18 When that year <08141> was ended <08552>, they came <0935>
unto

him the second <08145> year <08141>, and said < 0559> unto him, We

will not hide <03582> [it] from my lord <0113>, how that our
money

<03701> is spent <08552>; my lord <0113> also hath <0413> our
herds

<04735> of cattle <0929>; there is not ought left < 07604> in the

sight <06440> of my lord <0113>, but our bodies < 01472>, and our

lands <0127>:



19 Wherefore <04100> shall we die <04191> before thine eyes

<05869>, both <01571> we and our land <0127>? buy <07069> us and
our

land <0127> for bread <03899>, and we and our land <0127> will be

servants <05650> unto Pharaoh <06547>: and give < 05414> [us] seed

<02233>, that we may live <02421>, and not die < 04191>, that the

land <0127> be not desolate <03456>.



20 And Joseph <03130> bought <07069> all < 03605> the land
<0127>

of Egypt <04714> for Pharaoh <06547>; for the Egyptians <04714>
sold

<04376> every man <0376> his field <07704>, because <03588> the

famine <07458> prevailed <02388> over <05921> them: so the land

<0776> became <01961> Pharaoh's <06547>.



21 And as for the people <05971>, he removed <05674> them to

cities <05892> from [one] end <07097> of the borders <01366> of

Egypt <04714> even to the [other] end <07097> thereof.



22 Only <07535> the land <0127> of the priests < 03548> bought

<07069> he not; for the priests <03548> had a portion <02706>

[assigned them] of Pharaoh <06547>, and did eat <0398> their
portion

<02706> which <0834> Pharaoh <06547> gave < 05414> them: wherefore

they sold <04376> not their lands <0127>.



23 Then Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto the people <05971>,
Behold

<02009>, I have bought <07069> you this day < 03117> and your land

<0127> for Pharaoh <06547>: lo <01883>, [here is] seed <02233>
for

you, and ye shall sow <02232> the land <0127>.



24 And it shall come <01961> to pass in the increase < 08393>,
that

ye shall give <05414> the fifth <02549> [part] unto Pharaoh
<06547>,

and four <0702> parts <03027> shall be your own, for seed
<02233> of

the field <07704>, and for your food <0400>, and for them of your

households <01004>, and for food <0398> for your little <02945>

ones.



25 And they said <0559>, Thou hast saved our lives < 02421>:
let us

find <04672> grace <02580> in the sight <05869> of my lord
<0113>,

and we will be Pharaoh's <06547> servants <05650>.



26 And Joseph <03130> made <07760> it a law < 02706> over
<05921>

the land <0127> of Egypt <04714> unto this < 02088> day <03117>,

[that] Pharaoh <06547> should have the fifth <02569> [part];
except

<07535> the land <0127> of the priests <03548> only <0905>,
[which]

became <01961> not Pharaoh's <06547>.



27. And Israel <03478> dwelt <03427> in the land < 0776> of Egypt

<04714>, in the country <0776> of Goshen <01657> ; and they had

possessions <0270> therein, and grew <06509>, and multiplied
<07235>

exceedingly <03966>.



28 And Jacob <03290> lived <02421> in the land < 0776> of Egypt

<04714> seventeen <07651> years <08141>: so the whole age
<03117> of

Jacob <03290> was an hundred <03967> forty < 0705> and seven
<07651>

years <08141>.



29 And the time <03117> drew nigh <07126> that Israel <03478>
must

die <04191>: and he called <07121> his son < 01121> Joseph
<03130>,

and said <0559> unto him, If <0518> now <04994> I have found
<04672>

grace <02580> in thy sight <05869>, put <07760>, I pray <04994>

thee, thy hand <03027> under <08478> my thigh < 03409>, and deal

<06213> kindly <02617> and truly <0571> with me; bury <06912> me

not, I pray <04994> thee, in Egypt <04714>:



30 But I will lie <07901> with my fathers <01>, and thou shalt

carry <05375> me out of Egypt <04714>, and bury < 06912> me in
their

buryingplace <06913>. And he said <0559>, I will do <06213> as
thou

hast said <01697>.



31 And he said <0559>, Swear <07650> unto me. And he sware
<07650>

unto him. And Israel <03478> bowed <07812> himself upon the bed's

<04296> head <07218>.



Genesis 48



1. And it came <01961> to pass after <0310> these <0428> things

<01697>, that [one] told <0559> Joseph <03130>, Behold <02009>,
thy

father <01> [is] sick <02470>: and he took < 03947> with him his
two

<08147> sons <01121>, Manasseh <04519> and Ephraim <0669>.



2 And [one] told <05046> Jacob <03290>, and said <0559>, Behold

<02009>, thy son <01121> Joseph <03130> cometh <0935> unto thee:
and

Israel <03478> strengthened <02388> himself, and sat <03427> upon

the bed <04296>.



3 And Jacob <03290> said <0559> unto Joseph < 03130>, God <0410>

Almighty <07706> appeared <07200> unto me at Luz < 03870> in the
land

<0776> of Canaan <03667>, and blessed <01288> me,



4 And said <0559> unto me, Behold <02005>, I will make thee

fruitful <06509>, and multiply <07235> thee, and I will make
<05414>

of thee a multitude <06951> of people <05971>; and will give
<05414>

this <02063> land <0776> to thy seed <02233> after <0310> thee
[for]

an everlasting <05769> possession <0272>.



5 And now <06258> thy two <08147> sons <01121> , Ephraim <0669>
and

Manasseh <04519>, which were born <03205> unto thee in the land

<0776> of Egypt <04714> before <05704> I came <0935> unto thee
into

Egypt <04714>, [are] mine; as Reuben <07205> and Simeon <08095>,

they shall be mine.



6 And thy issue <04138>, which <0834> thou begettest <03205>
after

<0310> them, shall be thine, [and] shall be called < 07121> after

<05921> the name <08034> of their brethren < 0251> in their

inheritance <05159>.



7 And as for me, when I came <0935> from Padan < 06307>, Rachel

<07354> died <04191> by me in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>
in

the way <01870>, when <05750> yet <05750> [there was] but a
little

<03530> way <0776> to come <0935> unto Ephrath <0672>: and I
buried

<06912> her there <08033> in the way <01870> of Ephrath <0672>;
the

same <01931> [is] Bethlehem <01035>.



8. And Israel <03478> beheld <07200> Joseph's < 03130> sons
<01121>,

and said <0559>, Who <04310> [are] these <0428>?



9 And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto his father <01>, They
[are]

my sons <01121>, whom <0834> God <0430> hath given <05414> me in

this <02088> [place]. And he said <0559>, Bring < 03947> them, I
pray

<04994> thee, unto me, and I will bless <01288> them.



10 Now the eyes <05869> of Israel <03478> were dim <03513> for
age

<02207>, [so that] he could <03201> not see < 07200>. And he
brought

<05066> them near <05066> unto him; and he kissed < 05401> them,
and

embraced <02263> them.



11 And Israel <03478> said <0559> unto Joseph < 03130>, I had
not

thought <06419> to see <07200> thy face <06440>: and, lo <02009>,

God <0430> hath shewed <07200> me also <01571> thy seed <02233>.



12 And Joseph <03130> brought <03318> them out from between

<05973> his knees <01290>, and he bowed <07812> himself with his

face <0639> to the earth <0776>.



13 And Joseph <03130> took <03947> them both < 08147>, Ephraim

<0669> in his right <03225> hand <03225> toward Israel's <03478>

left <08040> hand <08040>, and Manasseh <04519> in his left
<08040>

hand <08040> toward Israel's <03478> right < 03225> hand <03225>,
and

brought <05066> [them] near <05066> unto him.



14 And Israel <03478> stretched <07971> out his right <03225>
hand

<03225>, and laid <07896> [it] upon Ephraim's < 0669> head
<07218>,

who <01931> [was] the younger <06810>, and his left <08040> hand

<08040> upon Manasseh's <04519> head <07218>, guiding his hands

<03027> wittingly <07919>; for Manasseh <04519> [was] the
firstborn

<01060>.



15 And he blessed <01288> Joseph <03130>, and said <0559>, God

<0430>, before <06440> whom <0834> my fathers <01> Abraham <085>
and

Isaac <03327> did walk <01980>, the God <0430> which fed <07462>
me

all my life long <05750> unto this day <03117>,



16 The Angel <04397> which redeemed <01350> me from all <03605>

evil <07451>, bless <01288> the lads <05288>; and let my name

<08034> be named <07121> on them, and the name < 08034> of my
fathers

<01> Abraham <085> and Isaac <03327>; and let them grow <01711>
into

a multitude <07230> in the midst <07130> of the earth <0776>.



17 And when Joseph <03130> saw <07200> that his father <01>
laid

<07896> his right <03225> hand <03027> upon the head <07218> of

Ephraim <0669>, it displeased him: and he held <08557> up his

father's <01> hand <03027>, to remove <05493> it from Ephraim's

<0669> head <07218> unto Manasseh's <04519> head <07218>.



18 And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto his father <01>, Not so

<03651>, my father <01>: for this <02088> [is] the firstborn

<01060>; put <07760> thy right <03225> hand < 03225> upon his head

<07218>.



19 And his father <01> refused <03985>, and said <0559>, I know

<03045> [it], my son <01121>, I know <03045> [it]: he also
<01571>

shall become <01961> a people <05971>, and he also <01571> shall
be

great <01431>: but truly <0199> his younger < 06996> brother
<0251>

shall be greater <01431> than he, and his seed <02233> shall
become

<01961> a multitude <04393> of nations <01471>.



20 And he blessed <01288> them that day <03117>, saying <0559>,
In

thee shall Israel <03478> bless <01288>, saying < 0559>, God
<0430>

make <06213> thee as Ephraim <0669> and as Manasseh <04519>: and
he

set <07760> Ephraim <0669> before <06440> Manasseh <04519>.



21 And Israel <03478> said <0559> unto Joseph < 03130>, Behold

<02009>, I die <04191>: but God <0430> shall be with you, and
bring

<07725> you again <07725> unto the land <0776> of your fathers
<01>.



22 Moreover I have given <05414> to thee one <0259> portion

<07926> above <05921> thy brethren <0251>, which <0834> I took

<03947> out of the hand <03027> of the Amorite < 0567> with my
sword

<02719> and with my bow <07198>.



Genesis 49



1. And Jacob <03290> called <07121> unto his sons <01121>, and
said

<0559>, Gather <0622> yourselves together, that I may tell
<05046>

you [that] which <0834> shall befall <07122> you in the last
<0319>

days <03117>.



2 Gather <06908> yourselves together, and hear < 08085>, ye sons

<01121> of Jacob <03290>; and hearken <08085> unto Israel <03478>

your father <01>.



3 Reuben <07205>, thou [art] my firstborn <01060>, my might

<03581>, and the beginning <07225> of my strength < 0202>, the

excellency <03499> of dignity <07613>, and the excellency
<03499> of

power <05794>:



4 Unstable <06349> as water <04325>, thou shalt not excel
<03498>;

because <03588> thou wentest <05927> up to thy father's <01> bed

<04904>; then <0227> defiledst <02490> thou [it]: he went
<05927> up

to my couch <03326>.



5. Simeon <08095> and Levi <03878> [are] brethren <0251>;

instruments <03627> of cruelty <02555> [are in] their habitations

<04380>.



6 O my soul <05315>, come <0935> not thou into their secret

<05475>; unto their assembly <06951>, mine honour < 03519>, be not

thou united <03161>: for in their anger <0639> they slew <02026>
a

man <0376>, and in their selfwill <07522> they digged <06131>
down

<06131> a wall <07794>.



7 Cursed <0779> [be] their anger <0639>, for [it was] fierce

<05794>; and their wrath <05678>, for it was cruel <07185>: I
will

divide <02505> them in Jacob <03290>, and scatter < 06327> them in

Israel <03478>.



8. Judah <03063>, thou [art he] whom thy brethren < 0251> shall

praise <03034>: thy hand <03027> [shall be] in the neck <06203>
of

thine enemies <0341>; thy father's <01> children < 01121> shall
bow

<07812> down <07812> before thee.



9 Judah <03063> [is] a lion's <0738> whelp < 01482>: from the
prey

<02964>, my son <01121>, thou art gone <05927> up: he stooped

<03766> down, he couched <07257> as a lion < 0738>, and as an old

<03833> lion <03833>; who <04310> shall rouse <06965> him up?



10 The sceptre <07626> shall not depart <05493> from Judah

<03063>, nor a lawgiver <02710> from between < 0996> his feet

<07272>, until Shiloh <07886> come <0935>; and unto him [shall]
the

gathering <03349> of the people <05971> [be].



11 Binding <0681> his foal <05895> unto the vine <01612>, and
his

ass's <0860> colt <01121> unto the choice < 08321> vine <08321>;
he

washed <03526> his garments <03830> in wine < 03196>, and his
clothes

<05497> in the blood <01818> of grapes <06025>:



12 His eyes <05869> [shall be] red <02447> with wine <03196>,
and

his teeth <08127> white <03836> with milk < 02461>.



13. Zebulun <02074> shall dwell <07931> at the haven <02348> of
the

sea <03220>; and he [shall be] for an haven <02348> of ships
<0591>;

and his border <03411> [shall be] unto Zidon <06721>.



14 Issachar <03485> [is] a strong <01634> ass < 02543> couching

<07257> down between <0996> two burdens <04942>:



15 And he saw <07200> that rest <04496> [was] good <02896>, and

the land <0776> that [it was] pleasant <05276>; and bowed <05186>

his shoulder <07926> to bear <05445>, and became < 01961> a
servant

<05647> unto tribute <04522>.



16 Dan <01835> shall judge <01777> his people < 05971>, as one

<0259> of the tribes <07626> of Israel <03478>.



17 Dan <01835> shall be a serpent <05175> by the way <01870>,
an

adder <08207> in the path <0734>, that biteth < 05391> the horse

<05483> heels <06119>, so that his rider <07392> shall fall
<05307>

backward <0268>.



18 I have waited <06960> for thy salvation <03444>, O LORD

<03068>.



19 Gad <01410>, a troop <01416> shall overcome < 01464> him:
but he

shall overcome <01464> at the last <06119>.



20 Out of Asher <0836> his bread <03899> [shall be] fat
<08082>,

and he shall yield <05414> royal <04428> dainties < 04574>.



21 Naphtali <05321> [is] a hind <0355> let loose <07971>: he

giveth <05414> goodly <08233> words <0561>.



22. Joseph <03130> [is] a fruitful <06509> bough < 01121>,
[even] a

fruitful <06509> bough <01121> by a well <05869> ; [whose]
branches

<01121> run <06805> over <05921> the wall < 07794>:



23 The archers <01167> have sorely <04843> grieved <04843> him,

and shot <07232> [at him], and hated <07852> him:



24 But his bow <07198> abode <03427> in strength <0386>, and
the

arms <02220> of his hands <03027> were made strong <06339> by the

hands <03027> of the mighty <046> [God] of Jacob < 03290>; (from

thence <08033> [is] the shepherd <07462>, the stone <068> of
Israel

<03478>:)



25 [Even] by the God <0410> of thy father <01>, who shall help

<05826> thee; and by the Almighty <07706>, who shall bless
<01288>

thee with blessings <01293> of heaven <08064> above <05921>,

blessings <01293> of the deep <08415> that lieth < 07257> under

<08478>, blessings <01293> of the breasts < 07699>, and of the
womb

<07356>:



26 The blessings <01293> of thy father <01> have prevailed
<01396>

above <05921> the blessings <01293> of my progenitors <02029>
unto

the utmost bound <08379> of the everlasting <05769> hills
<01389>:

they shall be on the head <07218> of Joseph <03130>, and on the

crown <06936> of the head <06936> of him that was separate
<05139>

from his brethren <0251>.



27 Benjamin <01144> shall ravin <02963> [as] a wolf <02061>: in

the morning <01242> he shall devour <0398> the prey <05706>, and
at

night <06153> he shall divide <02505> the spoil < 07998>.



28. All <03605> these <0428> [are] the twelve tribes <07626> of

Israel <03478>: and this <02063> [is it] that their father <01>

spake <01696> unto them, and blessed <01288> them; every one
<0376>

according <0834> to his blessing <01293> he blessed <01288> them.



29 And he charged <06680> them, and said <0559> unto them, I
am to

be gathered <0622> unto my people <05971>: bury < 06912> me with
my

fathers <01> in the cave <04631> that [is] in the field <07704>
of

Ephron <06085> the Hittite <02850>,



30 In the cave <04631> that [is] in the field < 07704> of
Machpelah

<04375>, which <0834> [is] before Mamre <04471>, in the land
<0776>

of Canaan <03667>, which <0834> Abraham <085> bought <07069> with

the field <07704> of Ephron <06085> the Hittite < 02850> for a

possession <0272> of a buryingplace <06913>.



31 There <08033> they buried <06912> Abraham < 085> and Sarah

<08283> his wife <0802>; there <08033> they buried <06912> Isaac

<03327> and Rebekah <07259> his wife <0802>; and there <08033> I

buried <06912> Leah <03812>.



32 The purchase <04736> of the field <07704> and of the cave

<04631> that [is] therein [was] from the children < 01121> of Heth

<02845>.



33 And when Jacob <03290> had made an end <03615> of commanding

<06680> his sons <01121>, he gathered <0622> up his feet <07272>

into <0413> the bed <04296>, and yielded <01478> up the ghost

<01478>, and was gathered <0622> unto his people < 05971>.



Genesis 50



1. And Joseph <03130> fell <05307> upon his father's <01> face

<06440>, and wept <01058> upon him, and kissed < 05401> him.



2 And Joseph <03130> commanded <06680> his servants <05650> the

physicians <07495> to embalm <02590> his father < 01>: and the

physicians <07495> embalmed <02590> Israel < 03478>.



3 And forty <0705> days <03117> were fulfilled < 04390> for him;

for so <03651> are fulfilled <04390> the days < 03117> of those
which

are embalmed <02590>: and the Egyptians <04714> mourned <01058>
for

him threescore <07657> and ten days <03117>.



4 And when the days <03117> of his mourning <01086> were past

<05674>, Joseph <03130> spake <01696> unto the house <01004> of

Pharaoh <06547>, saying <0559>, If <0518> now <04994> I have
found

<04672> grace <02580> in your eyes <05869>, speak <01696>, I pray

<04994> you, in the ears <0241> of Pharaoh < 06547>, saying
<0559>,



5 My father <01> made me swear <07650>, saying < 0559>, Lo
<02009>,

I die <04191>: in my grave <06913> which <0834> I have digged

<03738> for me in the land <0776> of Canaan < 03667>, there
<08033>

shalt thou bury <06912> me. Now <06258> therefore let me go
<05927>

up, I pray <04994> thee, and bury <06912> my father <01>, and I
will

come <07725> again <07725>.



6 And Pharaoh <06547> said <0559>, Go <05927> up, and bury
<06912>

thy father <01>, according as he made thee swear < 07650>.



7. And Joseph <03130> went <05927> up to bury < 06912> his father

<01>: and with him went <05927> up all <03605> the servants
<05650>

of Pharaoh <06547>, the elders <02205> of his house <01004>, and
all

<03605> the elders <02205> of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>,



8 And all <03605> the house <01004> of Joseph < 03130>, and his

brethren <0251>, and his father's <01> house < 01004>: only
<07535>

their little <02945> ones, and their flocks <06629>, and their
herds

<01241>, they left <05800> in the land <0776> of Goshen <01657>.



9 And there went <05927> up with him both <01571> chariots
<07393>

and horsemen <06571>: and it was a very <03966> great <03515>

company <04264>.



10 And they came <0935> to the threshingfloor < 01637> of Atad

<0329>, which <0834> [is] beyond <05676> Jordan <03383>, and
there

<08033> they mourned <05594> with a great < 01419> and very
<03966>

sore <03515> lamentation <04553>: and he made < 06213> a mourning

<060> for his father <01> seven <07651> days <03117>.



11 And when the inhabitants <03427> of the land < 0776>, the

Canaanites <03669>, saw <07200> the mourning < 060> in the floor

<01637> of Atad <0329>, they said <0559>, This <02088> [is] a

grievous <03515> mourning <060> to the Egyptians < 04714>:
wherefore

the name <08034> of it was called <07121> Abelmizraim <067>,
which

<0834> [is] beyond <05676> Jordan <03383>.



12 And his sons <01121> did <06213> unto him according <03651>
as

he commanded <06680> them:



13 For his sons <01121> carried <05375> him into the land
<0776>

of Canaan <03667>, and buried <06912> him in the cave <04631> of
the

field <07704> of Machpelah <04375>, which <0834> Abraham <085>

bought <07069> with the field <07704> for a possession <0272> of
a

buryingplace <06913> of Ephron <06085> the Hittite <02850>,
before

Mamre <04471>.



14 And Joseph <03130> returned <07725> into Egypt <04714>, he,
and

his brethren <0251>, and all <03605> that went < 05927> up with
him

to bury <06912> his father <01>, after <0310> he had buried
<06912>

his father <01>.



15. And when Joseph's <03130> brethren <0251> saw <07200> that

their father <01> was dead <04191>, they said < 0559>, Joseph
<03130>

will peradventure <03863> hate <07852> us, and will certainly

requite <07725> us all <03605> the evil <07451> which <0834> we
did

<01580> unto him.



16 And they sent a messenger <06680> unto Joseph < 03130>,
saying

<0559>, Thy father <01> did command <06680> before <06440> he
died

<04194>, saying <0559>,



17 So <03541> shall ye say <0559> unto Joseph < 03130>, Forgive

<05375>, I pray <0577> thee now <04994>, the trespass <06588> of
thy

brethren <0251>, and their sin <02403>; for they did <01580> unto

thee evil <07451>: and now <04994>, we pray < 04994> thee, forgive

<05375> the trespass <06588> of the servants < 05650> of the God

<0430> of thy father <01>. And Joseph <03130> wept <01058> when
they

spake <01696> unto him.



18 And his brethren <0251> also <01571> went < 03212> and fell

<05307> down before his face <06440>; and they said <0559>,
Behold

<02009>, we [be] thy servants <05650>.



19 And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto them, Fear <03372> not:
for

[am] I in the place of God <0430>?



20 But as for you, ye thought <02803> evil <07451> against
<05921>

me; [but] God <0430> meant <02803> it unto good < 02896>, to bring

<06213> to pass <06213>, as [it is] this <02088> day <03117>, to

save <02421> much <07227> people <05971> alive <02421>.



21 Now <06258> therefore fear <03372> ye not: I will nourish

<03557> you, and your little <02945> ones. And he comforted
<05162>

them, and spake <01696> kindly unto them.



22. And Joseph <03130> dwelt <03427> in Egypt < 04714>, he, and
his

father's <01> house <01004>: and Joseph <03130> lived <02421> an

hundred <03967> and ten <06235> years <08141>.



23 And Joseph <03130> saw <07200> Ephraim's < 0669> children

<01121> of the third <08029> [generation]: the children <01121>
also

<01571> of Machir <04353> the son <01121> of Manasseh <04519>
were

brought <03205> up upon Joseph's <03130> knees < 01290>.



24 And Joseph <03130> said <0559> unto his brethren <0251>, I
die

<04191>: and God <0430> will surely visit < 06485> you, and bring

<05927> you out of this <02063> land <0776> unto the land <0776>

which <0834> he sware <07650> to Abraham <085>, to Isaac <03327>,

and to Jacob <03290>.



25 And Joseph <03130> took an oath <07650> of the children
<01121>

of Israel <03478>, saying <0559>, God <0430> will surely visit

<06485> you, and ye shall carry <05927> up my bones <06106> from

hence <02088>.



26 So Joseph <03130> died <04191>, [being] an hundred <03967>
and

ten <06235> years <08141> old <01121>: and they embalmed <02590>

him, and he was put <03455> in a coffin <0727> in Egypt <04714>.
