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>.

Genesis 5

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 him;

2 Male <02145> and female <05347> created < 01254> he them; and blessed <01288> them, and called <07121> their name <08034> Adam <0120>, in the day <03117> when they were created <01254>.

3 And Adam <0121> lived <02421> an hundred < 03967> and thirty <07970> years <08141>, and begat < 03205> [a son] in his own <0249> likeness <01823>, after his image <06754>; and called <07121> his name <08034> Seth <08352>:

4 And the days <03117> of Adam <0121> after < 0310> he had begotten <03205> Seth <08352> were eight < 08083> hundred <03967> years <08141>: and he begat < 03205> sons <01121> and daughters <01323>:

5 And all <03605> the days <03117> that Adam < 0121> lived <02425> were nine <08672> hundred <03967> and thirty <07970> years <08141>: and he died <04191>.

8 And all <03605> the days <03117> of Seth < 08352> were nine <08672> hundred <03967> and twelve years <08141>: and he died <04191>.

11 And all <03605> the days <03117> of Enos < 0583> were nine <08672> hundred <03967> and five < 02568> years <08141>: and he died <04191>.

20 And all <03605> the days <03117> of Jared < 03382> were nine <08672> hundred <03967> sixty <08346> and two <08147> years <08141>: and he died <04191>.

21. And Enoch <02585> lived <02421> sixty < 08346> and five <02568> years <08141>, and begat < 03205> Methuselah <04968>:

22 And Enoch <02585> walked <01980> with God < 0430> after <0310> he begat <03205> Methuselah <04968> three <07969> hundred <03967> years <08141>, and begat <03205> sons <01121> and daughters <01363>:

23 And all <03605> the days <03117> of Enoch < 02585> were three <07969> hundred <03967> sixty < 08346> and five <02568> years <08141>:

24 And Enoch <02585> walked <01980> with God < 0430>: and he [was] not; for God <0430> took <03947> him.

25. And Methuselah <04968> lived <02421> an hundred <03967> eighty <08084> and seven <07651> years < 08141>, and begat <03205> Lamech <03929>:

27 And all <03605> the days <03117> of Methuselah <04968> were nine <08672> hundred <03967> sixty < 08346> and nine <08672> years <08141>: and he died < 04191>.

29 And he called <07121> his name <08034> Noah < 05146>, saying <0559>, This <02088> [same] shall comfort <05162> us concerning our work <04639> and toil <06093> of our hands <03027>, because <04480> of the ground < 0127> which <0834> the LORD <03068> hath cursed <0779> .

30 And Lamech <03929> lived <02421> after < 0310> he begat <03205> Noah <05146> five <02568> hundred <03967> ninety <08673> and five <02568> years <08141>, and begat <03205> sons <01121> and daughters <01363>:

Genesis 6

1. And it came <01961> to pass, when <03588> men < 0120> began <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 hundred <03967> and twenty < 06242> years <08141>.

4. There were giants <05303> in the earth <0776> in those <01992> days <03117>; and also <01571> after < 0310> that, when <0834> the 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>:

20 And the Hittites <02850>, and the Perizzites < 06522>, and the Rephaims <07497>,

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>:

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>;

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>.

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> firstborn <01060>.

9 And the sons <01121> of Reuben <07205>; Hanoch <02585>, and Phallu <06396>, and Hezron <02696>, and Carmi <03756>.

11 And the sons <01121> of Levi <03878>; Gershon <01647>, Kohath <06955>, and Merari <04847>.

12 And the sons <01121> of Judah <03063>; Er < 06147>, and Onan <0209>, and Shelah <07956>, and Pharez < 06557>, and Zerah <02226>: but Er <06147> and Onan < 0209> died <04191> in the land <0776> of Canaan < 03667>. And the sons <01121> of Pharez <06557> were Hezron <02696> and Hamul <02538>.

13 And the sons <01121> of Issachar <03485>; Tola <08439>, and Phuvah <06312>, and Job <03102>, and Shimron <08110>.

14 And the sons <01121> of Zebulun <02074>; Sered <05624>, and Elon <0356>, and Jahleel <03177>.

15 These <0428> [be] the sons <01121> of Leah < 03812>, which <0834> she bare <03205> unto Jacob < 03290> in Padanaram <06307>, with his daughter <01323> Dinah <01783>: all <03605> the souls <05315> of his sons <01121> and his daughters <01363> [were] thirty <07970> and three <07969>.

17 And the sons <01121> of Asher <0836>; Jimnah < 03232>, and Ishuah <03438>, and Isui <03440>, and Beriah <01283>, and Serah <08294> their sister <0269>: and the sons <01121> of Beriah <01283>; Heber <02268>, and Malchiel <04439>.

18 These <0428> [are] the sons <01121> of Zilpah <02153>, whom <0834> Laban <03837> gave <05414> to Leah <03812> his daughter <01323>, and these <0428> she bare <03205> unto Jacob <03290>, [even] sixteen souls < 05315>.

19 The sons <01121> of Rachel <07354> Jacob's < 03290> wife <0802>; Joseph <03130>, and Benjamin < 01144>.

20 And unto Joseph <03130> in the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> were born <03205> Manasseh <04519> and Ephraim <0669>, which <0834> Asenath <0621> the daughter <01323> of Potipherah <06319> priest <03548> of On < 0204> bare <03205> unto him.

21 And the sons <01121> of Benjamin <01144> [were] Belah <01106>, and Becher <01071>, and Ashbel <0788>, Gera <01617>, and Naaman <05283>, Ehi <0278>, and Rosh <07220>, Muppim <04649>, and Huppim <02650>, and Ard < 0714>.

22 These <0428> [are] the sons <01121> of Rachel <07354>, which <0834> were born <03205> to Jacob < 03290>: all <03605> the souls <05315> [were] fourteen.

23 And the sons <01121> of Dan <01835>; Hushim < 02366>.

24 And the sons <01121> of Naphtali <05321>; Jahzeel <03183>, and 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>.
