Q
Ge1:1
A
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2
Q

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3
Q
Ge1:3
A
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4
Q
Ge1:4
A
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

Ge1:6
A
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7

Ge1:7
A
And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8

A
And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
9
Q
Ge1:9
A
And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
10
Q
Ge1:10
A
And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11
Q
Ge1:11
A
And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12
Q
Ge1:12
A
And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
13
Q
Ge1:13
A
And the evening and the morning were the third day.
14
Q
Ge1:14
A
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15
Q
Ge1:15
A
And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16
Q
Ge1:16
A
And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17
Q
Ge1:17
A
And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18
Q
Ge1:18
A
And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19
Q
Ge1:19
A
And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
20
Q
Ge1:20
A
And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21
Q
Ge1:21
A
And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
22
Q
Ge1:22
A
And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
23
Q
Ge1:23
A
And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24
Q
Ge1:24
A
And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25
Ge1:25
And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
26
Ge1:26
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27
Ge1:27
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28
Ge1:28
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29
Ge1:29
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30
Ge1:30
And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
31
Ge1:31
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
32
Ge2:1
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
33
Ge2:2
And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
34
Ge2:3
And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
35
Ge2:4
These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
36
Ge2:5
And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
37
Ge2:6
But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
38
Ge2:7
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
39
Ge2:8
And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
40
Ge2:9
And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
41
Ge2:10
And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
42
Ge2:11
The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
43
Ge2:12
And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
44
Ge2:13
And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
45
Ge2:14
And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
46
Ge2:15
And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
47
Ge2:16
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
48
Ge2:17
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
49
Ge2:18
And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
50
Ge2:19
And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
51
Ge2:20
And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
52
Ge2:21
And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
53
Ge2:22
And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
54
Ge2:23
And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
55
Ge2:24
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
56
Ge2:25
And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
57
Ge3:1
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
58
Ge3:2
And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
59
Ge3:3
But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
60
Ge3:4
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
61
Ge3:5
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
62
Ge3:6
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
63
Ge3:7
And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
64
Ge3:8
And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
65
Ge3:9
And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
66
Ge3:10
And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
67
Ge3:11
And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
68
Ge3:12
And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
69
Ge3:13
And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
70
Ge3:14
And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
71
Ge3:15
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
72
Ge3:16
Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
73
Ge3:17
And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
74
Ge3:18
Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
75
Ge3:19
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
76
Ge3:20
And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
77
Ge3:21
Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
78
Ge3:22
And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
79
Ge3:23
Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
80
Ge3:24
So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
81
Ge4:1
And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
82
Ge4:2
And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
83
Ge4:3
And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
84
Ge4:4
And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
85
Ge4:5
But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
86
Ge4:6
And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
87
Ge4:7
If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
88
Ge4:8
And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
89
Ge4:9
And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
90
Ge4:10
And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.
91
Ge4:11
And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
92
Ge4:12
When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
93
Ge4:13
And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
94
Ge4:14
Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
95
Ge4:15
And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
96
Ge4:16
And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
97
Ge4:17
And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
98
Ge4:18
And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
99
Ge4:19
And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
100
Ge4:20
And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.
101
Ge4:21
And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
102
Ge4:22
And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
103
Ge4:23
And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
104
Ge4:24
If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
105
Ge4:25
And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
106
Ge4:26
And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
107
Ge5:1
This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
108
Ge5:2
Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
109
Ge5:3
And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:
110
Ge5:4
And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:
111
Ge5:5
And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.
112
Ge5:6
And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos:
113
Ge5:7
And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters:
114
Ge5:8
And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died.
115
Ge5:9
And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan:
116
Ge5:10
And Enos lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters:
117
Ge5:11
And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years: and he died.
118
Ge5:12
And Cainan lived seventy years, and begat Mahalaleel:
119
Ge5:13
And Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel eight hundred and forty years, and begat sons and daughters:
120
Ge5:14
And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years: and he died.
121
Ge5:15
And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat Jared:
122
Ge5:16
And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters:
123
Ge5:17
And all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred ninety and five years: and he died.
124
Ge5:18
And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch:
125
Ge5:19
And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
126
Ge5:20
And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died.
127
Ge5:21
And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:
128
Ge5:22
And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
129
Ge5:23
And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
130
Ge5:24
And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
131
Ge5:25
And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech:
132
Ge5:26
And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters:
133
Ge5:27
And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died.
134
Ge5:28
And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:
135
Ge5:29
And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD hath cursed.
136
Ge5:30
And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters:
137
Ge5:31
And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died.
138
Ge5:32
And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
139
Ge6:1
And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
140
Ge6:2
That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
141
Ge6:3
And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
142
Ge6:4
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
143
Ge6:5
And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
144
Ge6:6
And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
145
Ge6:7
And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
146
Ge6:8
But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
147
Ge6:9
These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
148
Ge6:10
And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
149
Ge6:11
The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
150
Ge6:12
And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
151
Ge6:13
And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
152
Ge6:14
Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
153
Ge6:15
And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
154
Ge6:16
A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
155
Ge6:17
And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
156
Ge6:18
But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
157
Ge6:19
And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
158
Ge6:20
Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
159
Ge6:21
And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
160
Ge6:22
Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
161
Ge7:1
And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
162
Ge7:2
Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
163
Ge7:3
Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
164
Ge7:4
For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
165
Ge7:5
And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.
166
Ge7:6
And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
167
Ge7:7
And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
168
Ge7:8
Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
169
Ge7:9
There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
170
Ge7:10
And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
171
Ge7:11
In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
172
Ge7:12
And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
173
Ge7:13
In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
174
Ge7:14
They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.
175
Ge7:15
And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
176
Ge7:16
And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
177
Ge7:17
And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.
178
Ge7:18
And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
179
Ge7:19
And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
180
Ge7:20
Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
181
Ge7:21
And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
182
Ge7:22
All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
183
Ge7:23
And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
184
Ge7:24
And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
185
Ge8:1
And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;
186
Ge8:2
The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
187
Ge8:3
And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
188
Ge8:4
And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
189
Ge8:5
And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.
190
Ge8:6
And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
191
Ge8:7
And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
192
Ge8:8
Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
193
Ge8:9
But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.
194
Ge8:10
And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
195
Ge8:11
And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
196
Ge8:12
And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.
197
Ge8:13
And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.
198
Ge8:14
And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
199
Ge8:15
And God spake unto Noah, saying,
200
Ge8:16
Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
201
Ge8:17
Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
202
Ge8:18
And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:
203
Ge8:19
Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.
204
Ge8:20
And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
205
Ge8:21
And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
206
Ge8:22
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
207
Ge9:1
And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
208
Ge9:2
And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
209
Ge9:3
Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
210
Ge9:4
But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
211
Ge9:5
And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.
212
Ge9:6
Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
213
Ge9:7
And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
214
Ge9:8
And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
215
Ge9:9
And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
216
Ge9:10
And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
217
Ge9:11
And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
218
Ge9:12
And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
219
Ge9:13
I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
220
Ge9:14
And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
221
Ge9:15
And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
222
Ge9:16
And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
223
Ge9:17
And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
224
Ge9:18
And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
225
Ge9:19
These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.
226
Ge9:20
And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
227
Ge9:21
And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
228
Ge9:22
And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
229
Ge9:23
And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
230
Ge9:24
And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
231
Ge9:25
And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
232
Ge9:26
And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
233
Ge9:27
God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
234
Ge9:28
And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
235
Ge9:29
And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
236
Ge10:1
Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.
237
Ge10:2
The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
238
Ge10:3
And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
239
Ge10:4
And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
240
Ge10:5
By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
241
Ge10:6
And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
242
Ge10:7
And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.
243
Ge10:8
And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
244
Ge10:9
He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
245
Ge10:10
And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
246
Ge10:11
Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,
247
Ge10:12
And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.
248
Ge10:13
And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
249
Ge10:14
And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.
250
Ge10:15
And Canaan begat Sidon his first born, and Heth,
251
Ge10:16
And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,
252
Ge10:17
And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
253
Ge10:18
And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.
254
Ge10:19
And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.
255
Ge10:20
These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.
256
Ge10:21
Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.
257
Ge10:22
The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
258
Ge10:23
And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
259
Ge10:24
And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.
260
Ge10:25
And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.
261
Ge10:26
And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,
262
Ge10:27
And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
263
Ge10:28
And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
264
Ge10:29
And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan.
265
Ge10:30
And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.
266
Ge10:31
These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
267
Ge10:32
These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
268
Ge11:1
And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
269
Ge11:2
And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
270
Ge11:3
And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
271
Ge11:4
And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
272
Ge11:5
And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
273
Ge11:6
And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
274
Ge11:7
Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
275
Ge11:8
So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
276
Ge11:9
Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
277
Ge11:10
These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:
278
Ge11:11
And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
279
Ge11:12
And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah:
280
Ge11:13
And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
281
Ge11:14
And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:
282
Ge11:15
And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
283
Ge11:16
And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:
284
Ge11:17
And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.
285
Ge11:18
And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:
286
Ge11:19
And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.
287
Ge11:20
And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:
288
Ge11:21
And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.
289
Ge11:22
And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:
290
Ge11:23
And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
291
Ge11:24
And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:
292
Ge11:25
And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.
293
Ge11:26
And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
294
Ge11:27
Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
295
Ge11:28
And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
296
Ge11:29
And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
297
Ge11:30
But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
298
Ge11:31
And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
299
Ge11:32
And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.
300
Ge12:1
Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
301
Ge12:2
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
302
Ge12:3
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
303
Ge12:4
So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
304
Ge12:5
And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
305
Ge12:6
And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
306
Ge12:7
And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.
307
Ge12:8
And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.
308
Ge12:9
And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.
309
Ge12:10
And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.
310
Ge12:11
And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon:
311
Ge12:12
Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.
312
Ge12:13
Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.
313
Ge12:14
And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
314
Ge12:15
The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
315
Ge12:16
And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.
316
Ge12:17
And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.
317
Ge12:18
And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
318
Ge12:19
Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.
319
Ge12:20
And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
320
Ge13:1
And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.
321
Ge13:2
And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
322
Ge13:3
And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai;
323
Ge13:4
Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.
324
Ge13:5
And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
325
Ge13:6
And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.
326
Ge13:7
And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.
327
Ge13:8
And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.
328
Ge13:9
Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.
329
Ge13:10
And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.
330
Ge13:11
Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.
331
Ge13:12
Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
332
Ge13:13
But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.
333
Ge13:14
And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
334
Ge13:15
For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
335
Ge13:16
And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.
336
Ge13:17
Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.
337
Ge13:18
Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.
338
Ge14:1
And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations;
339
Ge14:2
That these made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.
340
Ge14:3
All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.
341
Ge14:4
Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
342
Ge14:5
And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
343
Ge14:6
And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan, which is by the wilderness.
344
Ge14:7
And they returned, and came to Enmishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazezontamar.
345
Ge14:8
And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar;) and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim;
346
Ge14:9
With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with five.
347
Ge14:10
And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain.
348
Ge14:11
And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.
349
Ge14:12
And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
350
Ge14:13
And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram.
351
Ge14:14
And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.
352
Ge14:15
And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
353
Ge14:16
And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
354
Ge14:17
And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale.
355
Ge14:18
And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.
356
Ge14:19
And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:
357
Ge14:20
And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
358
Ge14:21
And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.
359
Ge14:22
And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,
360
Ge14:23
That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:
361
Ge14:24
Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.
362
Ge15:1
After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
363
Ge15:2
And Abram said, LORD God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
364
Ge15:3
And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
365
Ge15:4
And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
366
Ge15:5
And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
367
Ge15:6
And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
368
Ge15:7
And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.
369
Ge15:8
And he said, LORD God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
370
Ge15:9
And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
371
Ge15:10
And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.
372
Ge15:11
And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.
373
Ge15:12
And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
374
Ge15:13
And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
375
Ge15:14
And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
376
Ge15:15
And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
377
Ge15:16
But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
378
Ge15:17
And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.
379
Ge15:18
In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
380
Ge15:19
The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
381
Ge15:20
And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
382
Ge15:21
And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
383
Ge16:1
Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
384
Ge16:2
And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
385
Ge16:3
And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.
386
Ge16:4
And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
387
Ge16:5
And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and thee.
388
Ge16:6
But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.
389
Ge16:7
And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.
390
Ge16:8
And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.
391
Ge16:9
And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
392
Ge16:10
And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
393
Ge16:11
And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
394
Ge16:12
And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
395
Ge16:13
And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?
396
Ge16:14
Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
397
Ge16:15
And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.
398
Ge16:16
And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.
399
Ge17:1
And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
400
Ge17:2
And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
401
Ge17:3
And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
402
Ge17:4
As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
403
Ge17:5
Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.
404
Ge17:6
And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
405
Ge17:7
And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.
406
Ge17:8
And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.
407
Ge17:9
And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.
408
Ge17:10
This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.
409
Ge17:11
And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.
410
Ge17:12
And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.
411
Ge17:13
He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
412
Ge17:14
And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.
413
Ge17:15
And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.
414
Ge17:16
And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.
415
Ge17:17
Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?
416
Ge17:18
And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!
417
Ge17:19
And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.
418
Ge17:20
And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
419
Ge17:21
But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.
420
Ge17:22
And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.
421
Ge17:23
And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had said unto him.
422
Ge17:24
And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
423
Ge17:25
And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
424
Ge17:26
In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son.
425
Ge17:27
And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
426
Ge18:1
And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
427
Ge18:2
And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,
428
Ge18:3
And said, My LORD, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
429
Ge18:4
Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
430
Ge18:5
And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.
431
Ge18:6
And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.
432
Ge18:7
And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it.
433
Ge18:8
And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.
434
Ge18:9
And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
435
Ge18:10
And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him.
436
Ge18:11
Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
437
Ge18:12
Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
438
Ge18:13
And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?
439
Ge18:14
Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.
440
Ge18:15
Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
441
Ge18:16
And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
442
Ge18:17
And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
443
Ge18:18
Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
444
Ge18:19
For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
445
Ge18:20
And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
446
Ge18:21
I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
447
Ge18:22
And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
448
Ge18:23
And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
449
Ge18:24
Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?
450
Ge18:25
That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
451
Ge18:26
And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
452
Ge18:27
And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD, which am but dust and ashes:
453
Ge18:28
Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.
454
Ge18:29
And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake.
455
Ge18:30
And he said unto him, Oh let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.
456
Ge18:31
And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake.
457
Ge18:32
And he said, Oh let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.
458
Ge18:33
And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.
459
Ge19:1
And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;
460
Ge19:2
And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.
461
Ge19:3
And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.
462
Ge19:4
But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
463
Ge19:5
And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
464
Ge19:6
And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
465
Ge19:7
And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
466
Ge19:8
Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.
467
Ge19:9
And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.
468
Ge19:10
But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
469
Ge19:11
And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
470
Ge19:12
And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:
471
Ge19:13
For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.
472
Ge19:14
And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.
473
Ge19:15
And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
474
Ge19:16
And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
475
Ge19:17
And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
476
Ge19:18
And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my LORD:
477
Ge19:19
Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:
478
Ge19:20
Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.
479
Ge19:21
And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.
480
Ge19:22
Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
481
Ge19:23
The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
482
Ge19:24
Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
483
Ge19:25
And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
484
Ge19:26
But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
485
Ge19:27
And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD:
486
Ge19:28
And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.
487
Ge19:29
And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.
488
Ge19:30
And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
489
Ge19:31
And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:
490
Ge19:32
Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
491
Ge19:33
And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
492
Ge19:34
And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
493
Ge19:35
And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
494
Ge19:36
Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
495
Ge19:37
And the first born bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
496
Ge19:38
And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.
497
Ge20:1
And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
498
Ge20:2
And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
499
Ge20:3
But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife.
500
Ge20:4
But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, LORD, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?
501
Ge20:5
Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this.
502
Ge20:6
And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.
503
Ge20:7
Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.
504
Ge20:8
Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid.
505
Ge20:9
Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.
506
Ge20:10
And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?
507
Ge20:11
And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake.
508
Ge20:12
And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
509
Ge20:13
And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said unto her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt shew unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.
510
Ge20:14
And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
511
Ge20:15
And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.
512
Ge20:16
And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved.
513
Ge20:17
So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.
514
Ge20:18
For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
515
Ge21:1
And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
516
Ge21:2
For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
517
Ge21:3
And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
518
Ge21:4
And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
519
Ge21:5
And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
520
Ge21:6
And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.
521
Ge21:7
And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old age.
522
Ge21:8
And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.
523
Ge21:9
And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.
524
Ge21:10
Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.
525
Ge21:11
And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.
526
Ge21:12
And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
527
Ge21:13
And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
528
Ge21:14
And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
529
Ge21:15
And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
530
Ge21:16
And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bow shot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept.
531
Ge21:17
And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.
532
Ge21:18
Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.
533
Ge21:19
And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.
534
Ge21:20
And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
535
Ge21:21
And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
536
Ge21:22
And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest:
537
Ge21:23
Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son: but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.
538
Ge21:24
And Abraham said, I will swear.
539
Ge21:25
And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
540
Ge21:26
And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to day.
541
Ge21:27
And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.
542
Ge21:28
And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
543
Ge21:29
And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?
544
Ge21:30
And he said, For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.
545
Ge21:31
Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; because there they sware both of them.
546
Ge21:32
Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba: then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
547
Ge21:33
And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.
548
Ge21:34
And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.
549
Ge22:1
And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
550
Ge22:2
And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
551
Ge22:3
And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.
552
Ge22:4
Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
553
Ge22:5
And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.
554
Ge22:6
And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.
555
Ge22:7
And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
556
Ge22:8
And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
557
Ge22:9
And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
558
Ge22:10
And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
559
Ge22:11
And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
560
Ge22:12
And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.
561
Ge22:13
And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
562
Ge22:14
And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
563
Ge22:15
And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,
564
Ge22:16
And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:
565
Ge22:17
That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
566
Ge22:18
And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
567
Ge22:19
So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.
568
Ge22:20
And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor;
569
Ge22:21
Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
570
Ge22:22
And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
571
Ge22:23
And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
572
Ge22:24
And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
573
Ge23:1
And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were the years of the life of Sarah.
574
Ge23:2
And Sarah died in Kirjatharba; the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
575
Ge23:3
And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying,
576
Ge23:4
I am a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a possession of a buryingplace with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.
577
Ge23:5
And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him,
578
Ge23:6
Hear us, my lord: thou art a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead.
579
Ge23:7
And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth.
580
Ge23:8
And he communed with them, saying, If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight; hear me, and intreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,
581
Ge23:9
That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which is in the end of his field; for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me for a possession of a buryingplace amongst you.
582
Ge23:10
And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, even of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying,
583
Ge23:11
Nay, my lord, hear me: the field give I thee, and the cave that is therein, I give it thee; in the presence of the sons of my people give I it thee: bury thy dead.
584
Ge23:12
And Abraham bowed down himself before the people of the land.
585
Ge23:13
And he spake unto Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, But if thou wilt give it, I pray thee, hear me: I will give thee money for the field; take it of me, and I will bury my dead there.
586
Ge23:14
And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,
587
Ge23:15
My lord, hearken unto me: the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver; what is that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.
588
Ge23:16
And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant.
589
Ge23:17
And the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the borders round about, were made sure
590
Ge23:18
Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city.
591
Ge23:19
And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan.
592
Ge23:20
And the field, and the cave that is therein, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a buryingplace by the sons of Heth.
593
Ge24:1
And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
594
Ge24:2
And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:
595
Ge24:3
And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
596
Ge24:4
But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.
597
Ge24:5
And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?
598
Ge24:6
And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.
599
Ge24:7
The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.
600
Ge24:8
And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.
601
Ge24:9
And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter.
602
Ge24:10
And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.
603
Ge24:11
And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, even the time that women go out to draw water.
604
Ge24:12
And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.
605
Ge24:13
Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:
606
Ge24:14
And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.
607
Ge24:15
And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
608
Ge24:16
And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
609
Ge24:17
And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.
610
Ge24:18
And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
611
Ge24:19
And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.
612
Ge24:20
And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.
613
Ge24:21
And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.
614
Ge24:22
And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold;
615
Ge24:23
And said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father's house for us to lodge in?
616
Ge24:24
And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.
617
Ge24:25
She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in.
618
Ge24:26
And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD.
619
Ge24:27
And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren.
620
Ge24:28
And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother's house these things.
621
Ge24:29
And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well.
622
Ge24:30
And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well.
623
Ge24:31
And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.
624
Ge24:32
And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men's feet that were with him.
625
Ge24:33
And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.
626
Ge24:34
And he said, I am Abraham's servant.
627
Ge24:35
And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.
628
Ge24:36
And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.
629
Ge24:37
And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
630
Ge24:38
But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.
631
Ge24:39
And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.
632
Ge24:40
And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house:
633
Ge24:41
Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath.
634
Ge24:42
And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:
635
Ge24:43
Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;
636
Ge24:44
And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD hath appointed out for my master's son.
637
Ge24:45
And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the well, and drew water: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.
638
Ge24:46
And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.
639
Ge24:47
And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.
640
Ge24:48
And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son.
641
Ge24:49
And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.
642
Ge24:50
Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.
643
Ge24:51
Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken.
644
Ge24:52
And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth.
645
Ge24:53
And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things.
646
Ge24:54
And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master.
647
Ge24:55
And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.
648
Ge24:56
And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.
649
Ge24:57
And they said, We will call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth.
650
Ge24:58
And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.
651
Ge24:59
And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.
652
Ge24:60
And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.
653
Ge24:61
And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
654
Ge24:62
And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for he dwelt in the south country.
655
Ge24:63
And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming.
656
Ge24:64
And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.
657
Ge24:65
For she had said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a vail, and covered herself.
658
Ge24:66
And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.
659
Ge24:67
And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.
660
Ge25:1
Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.
661
Ge25:2
And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
662
Ge25:3
And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
663
Ge25:4
And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
664
Ge25:5
And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
665
Ge25:6
But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.
666
Ge25:7
And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.
667
Ge25:8
Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.
668
Ge25:9
And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;
669
Ge25:10
The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
670
Ge25:11
And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi.
671
Ge25:12
Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham:
672
Ge25:13
And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
673
Ge25:14
And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
674
Ge25:15
Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
675
Ge25:16
These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.
676
Ge25:17
And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered unto his people.
677
Ge25:18
And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brethren.
678
Ge25:19
And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac:
679
Ge25:20
And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.
680
Ge25:21
And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
681
Ge25:22
And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD.
682
Ge25:23
And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
683
Ge25:24
And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
684
Ge25:25
And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
685
Ge25:26
And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.
686
Ge25:27
And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
687
Ge25:28
And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
688
Ge25:29
And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:
689
Ge25:30
And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.
690
Ge25:31
And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
691
Ge25:32
And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?
692
Ge25:33
And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
693
Ge25:34
Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.
694
Ge26:1
And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.
695
Ge26:2
And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:
696
Ge26:3
Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;
697
Ge26:4
And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
698
Ge26:5
Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
699
Ge26:6
And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
700
Ge26:7
And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon.
701
Ge26:8
And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.
702
Ge26:9
And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife: and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.
703
Ge26:10
And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us.
704
Ge26:11
And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
705
Ge26:12
Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.
706
Ge26:13
And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:
707
Ge26:14
For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
708
Ge26:15
For all the wells which his father's servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth.
709
Ge26:16
And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.
710
Ge26:17
And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
711
Ge26:18
And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
712
Ge26:19
And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
713
Ge26:20
And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him.
714
Ge26:21
And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.
715
Ge26:22
And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
716
Ge26:23
And he went up from thence to Beersheba.
717
Ge26:24
And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake.
718
Ge26:25
And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac's servants digged a well.
719
Ge26:26
Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army.
720
Ge26:27
And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?
721
Ge26:28
And they said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with thee: and we said, Let there be now an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee;
722
Ge26:29
That thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace: thou art now the blessed of the LORD.
723
Ge26:30
And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.
724
Ge26:31
And they rose up betimes in the morning, and sware one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
725
Ge26:32
And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said unto him, We have found water.
726
Ge26:33
And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is Beersheba unto this day.
727
Ge26:34
And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:
728
Ge26:35
Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
729
Ge27:1
And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, here am I.
730
Ge27:2
And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:
731
Ge27:3
Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;
732
Ge27:4
And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die.
733
Ge27:5
And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
734
Ge27:6
And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,
735
Ge27:7
Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the LORD before my death.
736
Ge27:8
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee.
737
Ge27:9
Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth:
738
Ge27:10
And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death.
739
Ge27:11
And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:
740
Ge27:12
My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.
741
Ge27:13
And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.
742
Ge27:14
And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.
743
Ge27:15
And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son:
744
Ge27:16
And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:
745
Ge27:17
And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
746
Ge27:18
And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son?
747
Ge27:19
And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy first born; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.
748
Ge27:20
And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought it to me.
749
Ge27:21
And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not.
750
Ge27:22
And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.
751
Ge27:23
And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him.
752
Ge27:24
And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am.
753
Ge27:25
And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine, and he drank.
754
Ge27:26
And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.
755
Ge27:27
And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed:
756
Ge27:28
Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
757
Ge27:29
Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.
758
Ge27:30
And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
759
Ge27:31
And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it unto his father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son's venison, that thy soul may bless me.
760
Ge27:32
And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn Esau.
761
Ge27:33
And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where is he that hath taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea, and he shall be blessed.
762
Ge27:34
And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father.
763
Ge27:35
And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken away thy blessing.
764
Ge27:36
And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?
765
Ge27:37
And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto thee, my son?
766
Ge27:38
And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
767
Ge27:39
And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above;
768
Ge27:40
And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.
769
Ge27:41
And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.
770
Ge27:42
And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself, purposing to kill thee.
771
Ge27:43
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; and arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran;
772
Ge27:44
And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's fury turn away;
773
Ge27:45
Until thy brother's anger turn away from thee, and he forget that which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch thee from thence: why should I be deprived also of you both in one day?
774
Ge27:46
And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?
775
Ge28:1
And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
776
Ge28:2
Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother.
777
Ge28:3
And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;
778
Ge28:4
And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.
779
Ge28:5
And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padanaram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
780
Ge28:6
When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padanaram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;
781
Ge28:7
And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padanaram;
782
Ge28:8
And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father;
783
Ge28:9
Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife.
784
Ge28:10
And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
785
Ge28:11
And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.
786
Ge28:12
And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
787
Ge28:13
And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;
788
Ge28:14
And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
789
Ge28:15
And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.
790
Ge28:16
And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.
791
Ge28:17
And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
792
Ge28:18
And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.
793
Ge28:19
And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.
794
Ge28:20
And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
795
Ge28:21
So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God:
796
Ge28:22
And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
797
Ge29:1
Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.
798
Ge29:2
And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone was upon the well's mouth.
799
Ge29:3
And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well's mouth in his place.
800
Ge29:4
And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they said, Of Haran are we.
801
Ge29:5
And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
802
Ge29:6
And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.
803
Ge29:7
And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go and feed them.
804
Ge29:8
And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep.
805
Ge29:9
And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep: for she kept them.
806
Ge29:10
And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.
807
Ge29:11
And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
808
Ge29:12
And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son: and she ran and told her father.
809
Ge29:13
And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
810
Ge29:14
And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.
811
Ge29:15
And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be?
812
Ge29:16
And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
813
Ge29:17
Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured.
814
Ge29:18
And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
815
Ge29:19
And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
816
Ge29:20
And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.
817
Ge29:21
And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
818
Ge29:22
And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
819
Ge29:23
And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.
820
Ge29:24
And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid.
821
Ge29:25
And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?
822
Ge29:26
And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
823
Ge29:27
Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
824
Ge29:28
And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.
825
Ge29:29
And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.
826
Ge29:30
And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
827
Ge29:31
And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.
828
Ge29:32
And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.
829
Ge29:33
And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard that I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon.
830
Ge29:34
And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.
831
Ge29:35
And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing.
832
Ge30:1
And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.
833
Ge30:2
And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?
834
Ge30:3
And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her.
835
Ge30:4
And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her.
836
Ge30:5
And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.
837
Ge30:6
And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan.
838
Ge30:7
And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son.
839
Ge30:8
And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.
840
Ge30:9
When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.
841
Ge30:10
And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son.
842
Ge30:11
And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad.
843
Ge30:12
And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a second son.
844
Ge30:13
And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher.
845
Ge30:14
And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes.
846
Ge30:15
And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to night for thy son's mandrakes.
847
Ge30:16
And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto me; for surely I have hired thee with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.
848
Ge30:17
And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son.
849
Ge30:18
And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.
850
Ge30:19
And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son.
851
Ge30:20
And Leah said, God hath endued me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun.
852
Ge30:21
And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
853
Ge30:22
And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.
854
Ge30:23
And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach:
855
Ge30:24
And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me another son.
856
Ge30:25
And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country.
857
Ge30:26
Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have done thee.
858
Ge30:27
And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake.
859
Ge30:28
And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it.
860
Ge30:29
And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle was with me.
861
Ge30:30
For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?
862
Ge30:31
And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me any thing: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep thy flock.
863
Ge30:32
I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of such shall be my hire.
864
Ge30:33
So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted stolen with me.
865
Ge30:34
And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word.
866
Ge30:35
And he removed that day the he goats that were ringstraked and spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted, and every one that had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
867
Ge30:36
And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
868
Ge30:37
And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chestnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.
869
Ge30:38
And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.
870
Ge30:39
And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
871
Ge30:40
And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban's cattle.
872
Ge30:41
And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
873
Ge30:42
But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
874
Ge30:43
And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.
875
Ge31:1
And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was our father's hath he gotten all this glory.
876
Ge31:2
And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.
877
Ge31:3
And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.
878
Ge31:4
And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock,
879
Ge31:5
And said unto them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been with me.
880
Ge31:6
And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.
881
Ge31:7
And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.
882
Ge31:8
If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the cattle bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstraked shall be thy hire; then bare all the cattle ringstraked.
883
Ge31:9
Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
884
Ge31:10
And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the cattle were ringstraked, speckled, and grisled.
885
Ge31:11
And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I.
886
Ge31:12
And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ringstraked, speckled, and grisled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.
887
Ge31:13
I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.
888
Ge31:14
And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
889
Ge31:15
Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our money.
890
Ge31:16
For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is ours, and our children's: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do.
891
Ge31:17
Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels;
892
Ge31:18
And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in Padanaram, for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.
893
Ge31:19
And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father's.
894
Ge31:20
And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled.
895
Ge31:21
So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead.
896
Ge31:22
And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled.
897
Ge31:23
And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead.
898
Ge31:24
And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
899
Ge31:25
Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead.
900
Ge31:26
And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives taken with the sword?
901
Ge31:27
Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp?
902
Ge31:28
And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? thou hast now done foolishly in so doing.
903
Ge31:29
It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
904
Ge31:30
And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father's house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?
905
Ge31:31
And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy daughters from me.
906
Ge31:32
With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live: before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them.
907
Ge31:33
And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two maidservants' tents; but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
908
Ge31:34
Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel's furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them not.
909
Ge31:35
And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women is upon me. And he searched, but found not the images.
910
Ge31:36
And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me?
911
Ge31:37
Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us both.
912
Ge31:38
This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten.
913
Ge31:39
That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day, or stolen by night.
914
Ge31:40
Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes.
915
Ge31:41
Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times.
916
Ge31:42
Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight.
917
Ge31:43
And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children which they have born?
918
Ge31:44
Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee.
919
Ge31:45
And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.
920
Ge31:46
And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap.
921
Ge31:47
And Laban called it Jegarsahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed.
922
Ge31:48
And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed;
923
Ge31:49
And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.
924
Ge31:50
If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness betwixt me and thee.
925
Ge31:51
And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee:
926
Ge31:52
This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm.
927
Ge31:53
The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the fear of his father Isaac.
928
Ge31:54
Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mount.
929
Ge31:55
And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned unto his place.
930
Ge32:1
And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
931
Ge32:2
And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
932
Ge32:3
And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
933
Ge32:4
And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there until now:
934
Ge32:5
And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight.
935
Ge32:6
And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
936
Ge32:7
Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands;
937
Ge32:8
And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape.
938
Ge32:9
And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:
939
Ge32:10
I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
940
Ge32:11
Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children.
941
Ge32:12
And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
942
Ge32:13
And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;
943
Ge32:14
Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
944
Ge32:15
Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.
945
Ge32:16
And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove.
946
Ge32:17
And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither goest thou? and whose are these before thee?
947
Ge32:18
Then thou shalt say, They be thy servant Jacob's; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us.
948
Ge32:19
And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him.
949
Ge32:20
And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me.
950
Ge32:21
So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company.
951
Ge32:22
And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.
952
Ge32:23
And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.
953
Ge32:24
And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
954
Ge32:25
And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
955
Ge32:26
And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
956
Ge32:27
And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
957
Ge32:28
And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
958
Ge32:29
And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
959
Ge32:30
And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
960
Ge32:31
And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
961
Ge32:32
Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.
962
Ge33:1
And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids.
963
Ge33:2
And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
964
Ge33:3
And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
965
Ge33:4
And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.
966
Ge33:5
And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant.
967
Ge33:6
Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
968
Ge33:7
And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
969
Ge33:8
And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord.
970
Ge33:9
And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself.
971
Ge33:10
And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me.
972
Ge33:11
Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it.
973
Ge33:12
And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.
974
Ge33:13
And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.
975
Ge33:14
Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir.
976
Ge33:15
And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find grace in the sight of my lord.
977
Ge33:16
So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.
978
Ge33:17
And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
979
Ge33:18
And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent before the city.
980
Ge33:19
And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for an hundred pieces of money.
981
Ge33:20
And he erected there an altar, and called it EleloheIsrael.
982
Ge34:1
And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
983
Ge34:2
And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her.
984
Ge34:3
And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.
985
Ge34:4
And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife.
986
Ge34:5
And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they were come.
987
Ge34:6
And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him.
988
Ge34:7
And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard it: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter; which thing ought not to be done.
989
Ge34:8
And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to wife.
990
Ge34:9
And make ye marriages with us, and give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you.
991
Ge34:10
And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.
992
Ge34:11
And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give.
993
Ge34:12
Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to wife.
994
Ge34:13
And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister:
995
Ge34:14
And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us:
996
Ge34:15
But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we be, that every male of you be circumcised;
997
Ge34:16
Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
998
Ge34:17
But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.
999
Ge34:18
And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.
1000
Ge34:19
And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter: and he was more honourable than all the house of his father.
1001
Ge34:20
And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,
1002
Ge34:21
These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade therein; for the land, behold, it is large enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.
1003
Ge34:22
Only herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell with us, to be one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.
1004
Ge34:23
Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast of theirs be ours? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell with us.
1005
Ge34:24
And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city; and every male was circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city.
1006
Ge34:25
And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males.
1007
Ge34:26
And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went out.
1008
Ge34:27
The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister.
1009
Ge34:28
They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field,
1010
Ge34:29
And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that was in the house.
1011
Ge34:30
And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I being few in number, they shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.
1012
Ge34:31
And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot?
1013
Ge35:1
And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.
1014
Ge35:2
Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments:
1015
Ge35:3
And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.
1016
Ge35:4
And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.
1017
Ge35:5
And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.
1018
Ge35:6
So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Bethel, he and all the people that were with him.
1019
Ge35:7
And he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel: because there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother.
1020
Ge35:8
But Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth.
1021
Ge35:9
And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him.
1022
Ge35:10
And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.
1023
Ge35:11
And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;
1024
Ge35:12
And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.
1025
Ge35:13
And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him.
1026
Ge35:14
And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, even a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon.
1027
Ge35:15
And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Bethel.
1028
Ge35:16
And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour.
1029
Ge35:17
And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also.
1030
Ge35:18
And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin.
1031
Ge35:19
And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.
1032
Ge35:20
And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.
1033
Ge35:21
And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar.
1034
Ge35:22
And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine: and Israel heard it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:
1035
Ge35:23
The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:
1036
Ge35:24
The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:
1037
Ge35:25
And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali:
1038
Ge35:26
And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid; Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padanaram.
1039
Ge35:27
And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the city of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.
1040
Ge35:28
And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years.
1041
Ge35:29
And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
1042
Ge36:1
Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom.
1043
Ge36:2
Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite;
1044
Ge36:3
And Bashemath Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebajoth.
1045
Ge36:4
And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Bashemath bare Reuel;
1046
Ge36:5
And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these are the sons of Esau, which were born unto him in the land of Canaan.
1047
Ge36:6
And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the persons of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his substance, which he had got in the land of Canaan; and went into the country from the face of his brother Jacob.
1048
Ge36:7
For their riches were more than that they might dwell together; and the land wherein they were strangers could not bear them because of their cattle.
1049
Ge36:8
Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom.
1050
Ge36:9
And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir:
1051
Ge36:10
These are the names of Esau's sons; Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife of Esau, Reuel the son of Bashemath the wife of Esau.
1052
Ge36:11
And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz.
1053
Ge36:12
And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau's son; and she bare to Eliphaz Amalek: these were the sons of Adah Esau's wife.
1054
Ge36:13
And these are the sons of Reuel; Nahath, and Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah: these were the sons of Bashemath Esau's wife.
1055
Ge36:14
And these were the sons of Aholibamah, the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon, Esau's wife: and she bare to Esau Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah.
1056
Ge36:15
These were dukes of the sons of Esau: the sons of Eliphaz the firstborn son of Esau; duke Teman, duke Omar, duke Zepho, duke Kenaz,
1057
Ge36:16
Duke Korah, duke Gatam, and duke Amalek: these are the dukes that came of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these were the sons of Adah.
1058
Ge36:17
And these are the sons of Reuel Esau's son; duke Nahath, duke Zerah, duke Shammah, duke Mizzah: these are the dukes that came of Reuel in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Bashemath Esau's wife.
1059
Ge36:18
And these are the sons of Aholibamah Esau's wife; duke Jeush, duke Jaalam, duke Korah: these were the dukes that came of Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau's wife.
1060
Ge36:19
These are the sons of Esau, who is Edom, and these are their dukes.
1061
Ge36:20
These are the sons of Seir the Horite, who inhabited the land; Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah,
1062
Ge36:21
And Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan: these are the dukes of the Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom.
1063
Ge36:22
And the children of Lotan were Hori and Hemam; and Lotan's sister was Timna.
1064
Ge36:23
And the children of Shobal were these; Alvan, and Manahath, and Ebal, Shepho, and Onam.
1065
Ge36:24
And these are the children of Zibeon; both Ajah, and Anah: this was that Anah that found the mules in the wilderness, as he fed the asses of Zibeon his father.
1066
Ge36:25
And the children of Anah were these; Dishon, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah.
1067
Ge36:26
And these are the children of Dishon; Hemdan, and Eshban, and Ithran, and Cheran.
1068
Ge36:27
The children of Ezer are these; Bilhan, and Zaavan, and Akan.
1069
Ge36:28
The children of Dishan are these; Uz, and Aran.
1070
Ge36:29
These are the dukes that came of the Horites; duke Lotan, duke Shobal, duke Zibeon, duke Anah,
1071
Ge36:30
Duke Dishon, duke Ezer, duke Dishan: these are the dukes that came of Hori, among their dukes in the land of Seir.
1072
Ge36:31
And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of Israel.
1073
Ge36:32
And Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom: and the name of his city was Dinhabah.
1074
Ge36:33
And Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his stead.
1075
Ge36:34
And Jobab died, and Husham of the land of Temani reigned in his stead.
1076
Ge36:35
And Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who smote Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Avith.
1077
Ge36:36
And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead.
1078
Ge36:37
And Samlah died, and Saul of Rehoboth by the river reigned in his stead.
1079
Ge36:38
And Saul died, and Baalhanan the son of Achbor reigned in his stead.
1080
Ge36:39
And Baalhanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Pau; and his wife's name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab.
1081
Ge36:40
And these are the names of the dukes that came of Esau, according to their families, after their places, by their names; duke Timnah, duke Alvah, duke Jetheth,
1082
Ge36:41
Duke Aholibamah, duke Elah, duke Pinon,
1083
Ge36:42
Duke Kenaz, duke Teman, duke Mibzar,
1084
Ge36:43
Duke Magdiel, duke Iram: these be the dukes of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their possession: he is Esau the father of the Edomites.
1085
Ge37:1
And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.
1086
Ge37:2
These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.
1087
Ge37:3
Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours.
1088
Ge37:4
And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
1089
Ge37:5
And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
1090
Ge37:6
And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
1091
Ge37:7
For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
1092
Ge37:8
And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
1093
Ge37:9
And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
1094
Ge37:10
And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
1095
Ge37:11
And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
1096
Ge37:12
And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.
1097
Ge37:13
And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I.
1098
Ge37:14
And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
1099
Ge37:15
And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
1100
Ge37:16
And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks.
1101
Ge37:17
And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.
1102
Ge37:18
And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.
1103
Ge37:19
And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.
1104
Ge37:20
Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.
1105
Ge37:21
And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him.
1106
Ge37:22
And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again.
1107
Ge37:23
And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him;
1108
Ge37:24
And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.
1109
Ge37:25
And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
1110
Ge37:26
And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
1111
Ge37:27
Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content.
1112
Ge37:28
Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
1113
Ge37:29
And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.
1114
Ge37:30
And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go?
1115
Ge37:31
And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;
1116
Ge37:32
And they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be thy son's coat or no.
1117
Ge37:33
And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.
1118
Ge37:34
And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
1119
Ge37:35
And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him.
1120
Ge37:36
And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, and captain of the guard.
1121
Ge38:1
And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
1122
Ge38:2
And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her.
1123
Ge38:3
And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er.
1124
Ge38:4
And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan.
1125
Ge38:5
And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.
1126
Ge38:6
And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar.
1127
Ge38:7
And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him.
1128
Ge38:8
And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
1129
Ge38:9
And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.
1130
Ge38:10
And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also.
1131
Ge38:11
Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow at thy father's house, till Shelah my son be grown: for he said, Lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren did. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house.
1132
Ge38:12
And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
1133
Ge38:13
And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep.
1134
Ge38:14
And she put her widow's garments off from her, and covered her with a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife.
1135
Ge38:15
When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face.
1136
Ge38:16
And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me?
1137
Ge38:17
And he said, I will send thee a kid from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it?
1138
Ge38:18
And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave it her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.
1139
Ge38:19
And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
1140
Ge38:20
And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman's hand: but he found her not.
1141
Ge38:21
Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where is the harlot, that was openly by the way side? And they said, There was no harlot in this place.
1142
Ge38:22
And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her; and also the men of the place said, that there was no harlot in this place.
1143
Ge38:23
And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.
1144
Ge38:24
And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.
1145
Ge38:25
When she was brought forth, she sent to her father in law, saying, By the man, whose these are, am I with child: and she said, Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff.
1146
Ge38:26
And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.
1147
Ge38:27
And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb.
1148
Ge38:28
And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put out his hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.
1149
Ge38:29
And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken forth? this breach be upon thee: therefore his name was called Pharez.
1150
Ge38:30
And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah.
1151
Ge39:1
And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.
1152
Ge39:2
And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
1153
Ge39:3
And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
1154
Ge39:4
And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
1155
Ge39:5
And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.
1156
Ge39:6
And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured.
1157
Ge39:7
And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
1158
Ge39:8
But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;
1159
Ge39:9
There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
1160
Ge39:10
And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
1161
Ge39:11
And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within.
1162
Ge39:12
And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.
1163
Ge39:13
And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,
1164
Ge39:14
That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:
1165
Ge39:15
And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out.
1166
Ge39:16
And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.
1167
Ge39:17
And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me:
1168
Ge39:18
And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.
1169
Ge39:19
And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.
1170
Ge39:20
And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.
1171
Ge39:21
But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
1172
Ge39:22
And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.
1173
Ge39:23
The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand; because the LORD was with him, and that which he did, the LORD made it to prosper.
1174
Ge40:1
And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt.
1175
Ge40:2
And Pharaoh was wroth against two of his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.
1176
Ge40:3
And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.
1177
Ge40:4
And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward.
1178
Ge40:5
And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, which were bound in the prison.
1179
Ge40:6
And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they were sad.
1180
Ge40:7
And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in the ward of his lord's house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly to day?
1181
Ge40:8
And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you.
1182
Ge40:9
And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;
1183
Ge40:10
And in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, and her blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes:
1184
Ge40:11
And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
1185
Ge40:12
And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days:
1186
Ge40:13
Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.
1187
Ge40:14
But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:
1188
Ge40:15
For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.
1189
Ge40:16
When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three white baskets on my head:
1190
Ge40:17
And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.
1191
Ge40:18
And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days:
1192
Ge40:19
Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.
1193
Ge40:20
And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.
1194
Ge40:21
And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:
1195
Ge40:22
But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.
1196
Ge40:23
Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.
1197
Ge41:1
And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.
1198
Ge41:2
And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.
1199
Ge41:3
And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill favoured and leanfleshed; and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river.
1200
Ge41:4
And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.
1201
Ge41:5
And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.
1202
Ge41:6
And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them.
1203
Ge41:7
And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.
1204
Ge41:8
And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.
1205
Ge41:9
Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:
1206
Ge41:10
Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the captain of the guard's house, both me and the chief baker:
1207
Ge41:11
And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
1208
Ge41:12
And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.
1209
Ge41:13
And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.
1210
Ge41:14
Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.
1211
Ge41:15
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it.
1212
Ge41:16
And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
1213
Ge41:17
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:
1214
Ge41:18
And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:
1215
Ge41:19
And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:
1216
Ge41:20
And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:
1217
Ge41:21
And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
1218
Ge41:22
And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good:
1219
Ge41:23
And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:
1220
Ge41:24
And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.
1221
Ge41:25
And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.
1222
Ge41:26
The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
1223
Ge41:27
And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.
1224
Ge41:28
This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.
1225
Ge41:29
Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:
1226
Ge41:30
And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;
1227
Ge41:31
And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.
1228
Ge41:32
And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
1229
Ge41:33
Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
1230
Ge41:34
Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.
1231
Ge41:35
And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
1232
Ge41:36
And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.
1233
Ge41:37
And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
1234
Ge41:38
And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
1235
Ge41:39
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:
1236
Ge41:40
Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.
1237
Ge41:41
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
1238
Ge41:42
And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;
1239
Ge41:43
And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.
1240
Ge41:44
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.
1241
Ge41:45
And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnathpaaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.
1242
Ge41:46
And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
1243
Ge41:47
And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.
1244
Ge41:48
And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.
1245
Ge41:49
And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number.
1246
Ge41:50
And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him.
1247
Ge41:51
And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.
1248
Ge41:52
And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.
1249
Ge41:53
And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.
1250
Ge41:54
And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
1251
Ge41:55
And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do.
1252
Ge41:56
And the famine was over all the face of the earth: And Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.
1253
Ge41:57
And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands.
1254
Ge42:1
Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?
1255
Ge42:2
And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die.
1256
Ge42:3
And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.
1257
Ge42:4
But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him.
1258
Ge42:5
And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
1259
Ge42:6
And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph's brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth.
1260
Ge42:7
And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.
1261
Ge42:8
And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
1262
Ge42:9
And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
1263
Ge42:10
And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come.
1264
Ge42:11
We are all one man's sons; we are true men, thy servants are no spies.
1265
Ge42:12
And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
1266
Ge42:13
And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.
1267
Ge42:14
And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, saying, Ye are spies:
1268
Ge42:15
Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.
1269
Ge42:16
Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether there be any truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies.
1270
Ge42:17
And he put them all together into ward three days.
1271
Ge42:18
And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God:
1272
Ge42:19
If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your prison: go ye, carry corn for the famine of your houses:
1273
Ge42:20
But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.
1274
Ge42:21
And they said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us.
1275
Ge42:22
And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore, behold, also his blood is required.
1276
Ge42:23
And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake unto them by an interpreter.
1277
Ge42:24
And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and returned to them again, and communed with them, and took from them Simeon, and bound him before their eyes.
1278
Ge42:25
Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way: and thus did he unto them.
1279
Ge42:26
And they laded their asses with the corn, and departed thence.
1280
Ge42:27
And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the inn, he espied his money; for, behold, it was in his sack's mouth.
1281
Ge42:28
And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored; and, lo, it is even in my sack: and their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God hath done unto us?
1282
Ge42:29
And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them; saying,
1283
Ge42:30
The man, who is the lord of the land, spake roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country.
1284
Ge42:31
And we said unto him, We are true men; we are no spies:
1285
Ge42:32
We be twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
1286
Ge42:33
And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us, Hereby shall I know that ye are true men; leave one of your brethren here with me, and take food for the famine of your households, and be gone:
1287
Ge42:34
And bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye are true men: so will I deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffick in the land.
1288
Ge42:35
And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man's bundle of money was in his sack: and when both they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid.
1289
Ge42:36
And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away: all these things are against me.
1290
Ge42:37
And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again.
1291
Ge42:38
And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
1292
Ge43:1
And the famine was sore in the land.
1293
Ge43:2
And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said unto them, Go again, buy us a little food.
1294
Ge43:3
And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.
1295
Ge43:4
If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food:
1296
Ge43:5
But if thou wilt not send him, we will not go down: for the man said unto us, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.
1297
Ge43:6
And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?
1298
Ge43:7
And they said, The man asked us straitly of our state, and of our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye another brother? and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could we certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down?
1299
Ge43:8
And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, and also our little ones.
1300
Ge43:9
I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever:
1301
Ge43:10
For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this second time.
1302
Ge43:11
And their father Israel said unto them, If it must be so now, do this; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds:
1303
Ge43:12
And take double money in your hand; and the money that was brought again in the mouth of your sacks, carry it again in your hand; peradventure it was an oversight:
1304
Ge43:13
Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man:
1305
Ge43:14
And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.
1306
Ge43:15
And the men took that present, and they took double money in their hand, and Benjamin; and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.
1307
Ge43:16
And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house, Bring these men home, and slay, and make ready; for these men shall dine with me at noon.
1308
Ge43:17
And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.
1309
Ge43:18
And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph's house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our asses.
1310
Ge43:19
And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they communed with him at the door of the house,
1311
Ge43:20
And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food:
1312
Ge43:21
And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand.
1313
Ge43:22
And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.
1314
Ge43:23
And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon out unto them.
1315
Ge43:24
And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses provender.
1316
Ge43:25
And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there.
1317
Ge43:26
And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.
1318
Ge43:27
And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake? Is he yet alive?
1319
Ge43:28
And they answered, Thy servant our father is in good health, he is yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance.
1320
Ge43:29
And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, Is this your younger brother, of whom ye spake unto me? And he said, God be gracious unto thee, my son.
1321
Ge43:30
And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother: and he sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there.
1322
Ge43:31
And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread.
1323
Ge43:32
And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
1324
Ge43:33
And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth: and the men marvelled one at another.
1325
Ge43:34
And he took and sent messes unto them from before him: but Benjamin's mess was five times so much as any of theirs. And they drank, and were merry with him.
1326
Ge44:1
And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's money in his sack's mouth.
1327
Ge44:2
And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
1328
Ge44:3
As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.
1329
Ge44:4
And when they were gone out of the city, and not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?
1330
Ge44:5
Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
1331
Ge44:6
And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.
1332
Ge44:7
And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:
1333
Ge44:8
Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths, we brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy lord's house silver or gold?
1334
Ge44:9
With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.
1335
Ge44:10
And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless.
1336
Ge44:11
Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
1337
Ge44:12
And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
1338
Ge44:13
Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.
1339
Ge44:14
And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.
1340
Ge44:15
And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?
1341
Ge44:16
And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord's servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found.
1342
Ge44:17
And he said, God forbid that I should do so: but the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, get you up in peace unto your father.
1343
Ge44:18
Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh.
1344
Ge44:19
My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
1345
Ge44:20
And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him.
1346
Ge44:21
And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.
1347
Ge44:22
And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.
1348
Ge44:23
And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
1349
Ge44:24
And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
1350
Ge44:25
And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.
1351
Ge44:26
And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man's face, except our youngest brother be with us.
1352
Ge44:27
And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:
1353
Ge44:28
And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:
1354
Ge44:29
And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
1355
Ge44:30
Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad's life;
1356
Ge44:31
It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
1357
Ge44:32
For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever.
1358
Ge44:33
Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.
1359
Ge44:34
For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father.
1360
Ge45:1
Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren.
1361
Ge45:2
And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.
1362
Ge45:3
And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.
1363
Ge45:4
And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
1364
Ge45:5
Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.
1365
Ge45:6
For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest.
1366
Ge45:7
And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
1367
Ge45:8
So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
1368
Ge45:9
Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not:
1369
Ge45:10
And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children's children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast:
1370
Ge45:11
And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty.
1371
Ge45:12
And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you.
1372
Ge45:13
And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither.
1373
Ge45:14
And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck.
1374
Ge45:15
Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him.
1375
Ge45:16
And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
1376
Ge45:17
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;
1377
Ge45:18
And take your father and your households, and come unto me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.
1378
Ge45:19
Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take you wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.
1379
Ge45:20
Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.
1380
Ge45:21
And the children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
1381
Ge45:22
To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment.
1382
Ge45:23
And to his father he sent after this manner; ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she asses laden with corn and bread and meat for his father by the way.
1383
Ge45:24
So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way.
1384
Ge45:25
And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father,
1385
Ge45:26
And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob's heart fainted, for he believed them not.
1386
Ge45:27
And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived:
1387
Ge45:28
And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.
1388
Ge46:1
And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.
1389
Ge46:2
And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.
1390
Ge46:3
And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation:
1391
Ge46:4
I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes.
1392
Ge46:5
And Jacob rose up from Beersheba: and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
1393
Ge46:6
And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him:
1394
Ge46:7
His sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.
1395
Ge46:8
And these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn.
1396
Ge46:9
And the sons of Reuben; Hanoch, and Phallu, and Hezron, and Carmi.
1397
Ge46:10
And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman.
1398
Ge46:11
And the sons of Levi; Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
1399
Ge46:12
And the sons of Judah; Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Pharez, and Zarah: but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of Pharez were Hezron and Hamul.
1400
Ge46:13
And the sons of Issachar; Tola, and Phuvah, and Job, and Shimron.
1401
Ge46:14
And the sons of Zebulun; Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel.
1402
Ge46:15
These be the sons of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob in Padanaram, with his daughter Dinah: all the souls of his sons and his daughters were thirty and three.
1403
Ge46:16
And the sons of Gad; Ziphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and Ezbon, Eri, and Arodi, and Areli.
1404
Ge46:17
And the sons of Asher; Jimnah, and Ishuah, and Isui, and Beriah, and Serah their sister: and the sons of Beriah; Heber, and Malchiel.
1405
Ge46:18
These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter, and these she bare unto Jacob, even sixteen souls.
1406
Ge46:19
The sons of Rachel Jacob's wife; Joseph, and Benjamin.
1407
Ge46:20
And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him.
1408
Ge46:21
And the sons of Benjamin were Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard.
1409
Ge46:22
These are the sons of Rachel, which were born to Jacob: all the souls were fourteen.
1410
Ge46:23
And the sons of Dan; Hushim.
1411
Ge46:24
And the sons of Naphtali; Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shillem.
1412
Ge46:25
These are the sons of Bilhah, which Laban gave unto Rachel his daughter, and she bare these unto Jacob: all the souls were seven.
1413
Ge46:26
All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, which came out of his loins, besides Jacob's sons' wives, all the souls were threescore and six;
1414
Ge46:27
And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt, were two souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were threescore and ten.
1415
Ge46:28
And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.
1416
Ge46:29
And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself unto him; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.
1417
Ge46:30
And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou art yet alive.
1418
Ge46:31
And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father's house, I will go up, and shew Pharaoh, and say unto him, My brethren, and my father's house, which were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me;
1419
Ge46:32
And the men are shepherds, for their trade hath been to feed cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.
1420
Ge46:33
And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What is your occupation?
1421
Ge46:34
That ye shall say, Thy servants' trade hath been about cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and also our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
1422
Ge47:1
Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen.
1423
Ge47:2
And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh.
1424
Ge47:3
And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and also our fathers.
1425
Ge47:4
They said moreover unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the land are we come; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks; for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.
1426
Ge47:5
And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee:
1427
Ge47:6
The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest any men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.
1428
Ge47:7
And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
1429
Ge47:8
And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou?
1430
Ge47:9
And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
1431
Ge47:10
And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.
1432
Ge47:11
And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
1433
Ge47:12
And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household, with bread, according to their families.
1434
Ge47:13
And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very sore, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.
1435
Ge47:14
And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.
1436
Ge47:15
And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth.
1437
Ge47:16
And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail.
1438
Ge47:17
And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year.
1439
Ge47:18
When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto him, We will not hide it from my lord, how that our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is not ought left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands:
1440
Ge47:19
Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, that the land be not desolate.
1441
Ge47:20
And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh's.
1442
Ge47:21
And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof.
1443
Ge47:22
Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion assigned them of Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them: wherefore they sold not their lands.
1444
Ge47:23
Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land.
1445
Ge47:24
And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.
1446
Ge47:25
And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.
1447
Ge47:26
And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth part; except the land of the priests only, which became not Pharaoh's.
1448
Ge47:27
And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly.
1449
Ge47:28
And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.
1450
Ge47:29
And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt:
1451
Ge47:30
But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I will do as thou hast said.
1452
Ge47:31
And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head.
1453
Ge48:1
And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold, thy father is sick: and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.
1454
Ge48:2
And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.
1455
Ge48:3
And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
1456
Ge48:4
And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession.
1457
Ge48:5
And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.
1458
Ge48:6
And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.
1459
Ge48:7
And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when yet there was but a little way to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is Bethlehem.
1460
Ge48:8
And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these?
1461
Ge48:9
And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom God hath given me in this place. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless them.
1462
Ge48:10
Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he could not see. And he brought them near unto him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.
1463
Ge48:11
And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed.
1464
Ge48:12
And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.
1465
Ge48:13
And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near unto him.
1466
Ge48:14
And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn.
1467
Ge48:15
And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day,
1468
Ge48:16
The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.
1469
Ge48:17
And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head.
1470
Ge48:18
And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.
1471
Ge48:19
And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.
1472
Ge48:20
And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.
1473
Ge48:21
And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.
1474
Ge48:22
Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.
1475
Ge49:1
And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.
1476
Ge49:2
Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.
1477
Ge49:3
Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:
1478
Ge49:4
Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch.
1479
Ge49:5
Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations.
1480
Ge49:6
O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall.
1481
Ge49:7
Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
1482
Ge49:8
Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee.
1483
Ge49:9
Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
1484
Ge49:10
The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
1485
Ge49:11
Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes:
1486
Ge49:12
His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.
1487
Ge49:13
Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be for an haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon.
1488
Ge49:14
Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens:
1489
Ge49:15
And he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute.
1490
Ge49:16
Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
1491
Ge49:17
Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.
1492
Ge49:18
I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.
1493
Ge49:19
Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last.
1494
Ge49:20
Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.
1495
Ge49:21
Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.
1496
Ge49:22
Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:
1497
Ge49:23
The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:
1498
Ge49:24
But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)
1499
Ge49:25
Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:
1500
Ge49:26
The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
1501
Ge49:27
Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.
1502
Ge49:28
All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: and this is it that their father spake unto them, and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them.
1503
Ge49:29
And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be gathered unto my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
1504
Ge49:30
In the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a buryingplace.
1505
Ge49:31
There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.
1506
Ge49:32
The purchase of the field and of the cave that is therein was from the children of Heth.
1507
Ge49:33
And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people.
1508
Ge50:1
And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.
1509
Ge50:2
And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.
1510
Ge50:3
And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him threescore and ten days.
1511
Ge50:4
And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
1512
Ge50:5
My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again.
1513
Ge50:6
And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.
1514
Ge50:7
And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,
1515
Ge50:8
And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father's house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.
1516
Ge50:9
And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company.
1517
Ge50:10
And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
1518
Ge50:11
And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abelmizraim, which is beyond Jordan.
1519
Ge50:12
And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:
1520
Ge50:13
For his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a buryingplace of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.
1521
Ge50:14
And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.
1522
Ge50:15
And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him.
1523
Ge50:16
And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying,
1524
Ge50:17
So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.
1525
Ge50:18
And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.
1526
Ge50:19
And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?
1527
Ge50:20
But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
1528
Ge50:21
Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.
1529
Ge50:22
And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.
1530
Ge50:23
And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph's knees.
1531
Ge50:24
And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
1532
Ge50:25
And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.
1533
Ge50:26
So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
