* BOOK01 GENISIS
= CHAPTER 1 
# 1 IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH.
# 2 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 AND GOD SAID, LET THERE BE LIGHT: AND THERE WAS LIGHT.
# 4 AND GOD SAW THE LIGHT, THAT IT WAS GOOD: AND GOD DIVIDED THE LIGHT FROM
 THE DARKNESS.
# 5 AND GOD CALLED THE LIGHT DAY, AND THE DARKNESS HE CALLED NIGHT. AND THE
 EVENING AND THE MORNING WERE THE FIRST DAY.
# 6 AND GOD SAID, LET THERE BE A FIRMAMENT IN THE MIDST OF THE WATERS, AND
 LET IT DIVIDE THE WATERS FROM THE WATERS.
# 7 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 AND GOD CALLED THE FIRMAMENT HEAVEN. AND THE EVENING AND THE MORNING WERE
 THE SECOND DAY.
# 9 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 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 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 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 AND THE EVENING AND THE MORNING WERE THE THIRD DAY.
# 14 AND GOD SAID, LET THERE BE LIGHTS IN THE FIRMAMENT OF THE HEAVEN TO
 DIVIDE THE DAY FROM THE NIGHT; AND LET THEM BE FOR SIGNS, AND FOR SEASONS,
 AND FOR DAYS, AND YEARS:
# 15 AND LET THEM BE FOR LIGHTS IN THE FIRMAMENT OF THE HEAVEN TO GIVE LIGHT
 UPON THE EARTH: AND IT WAS SO.
# 16 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 AND GOD SET THEM IN THE FIRMAMENT OF THE HEAVEN TO GIVE LIGHT UPON THE
 EARTH,
# 18 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 AND THE EVENING AND THE MORNING WERE THE FOURTH DAY.
# 20 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 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 AND GOD BLESSED THEM, SAYING, BE FRUITFUL, AND MULTIPLY, AND FILL THE
 WATERS IN THE SEAS, AND LET FOWL MULTIPLY IN THE EARTH.
# 23 AND THE EVENING AND THE MORNING WERE THE FIFTH DAY.
# 24 AND GOD SAID, LET THE EARTH BRING FORTH THE LIVING CREATURE AFTER HIS
 KIND, CATTLE, AND CREEPING THING, AND BEAST OF THE EARTH AFTER HIS KIND: AND
 IT WAS SO.
# 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 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 SO GOD CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE, IN THE IMAGE OF GOD CREATED HE HIM;
 MALE AND FEMALE CREATED HE THEM.
# 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 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 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 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.
= CHAPTER 2 
# 1 THUS THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH WERE FINISHED, AND ALL THE HOST OF THEM.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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,
# 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.
# 6 BUT THERE WENT UP A MIST FROM THE EARTH, AND WATERED THE WHOLE FACE OF
 THE GROUND.
# 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.
# 8 AND THE LORD GOD PLANTED A GARDEN EASTWARD IN EDEN; AND THERE HE PUT THE
 MAN WHOM HE HAD FORMED.
# 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.
# 10 AND A RIVER WENT OUT OF EDEN TO WATER THE GARDEN; AND FROM THENCE IT WAS
 PARTED, AND BECAME INTO FOUR HEADS.
# 11 THE NAME OF THE FIRST IS PISON: THAT IS IT WHICH COMPASSETH THE WHOLE
 LAND OF HAVILAH, WHERE THERE IS GOLD;
# 12 AND THE GOLD OF THAT LAND IS GOOD: THERE IS BDELLIUM AND THE ONYX STONE.
# 13 AND THE NAME OF THE SECOND RIVER IS GIHON: THE SAME IS IT THAT
 COMPASSETH THE WHOLE LAND OF ETHIOPIA.
# 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.
# 15 AND THE LORD GOD TOOK THE MAN, AND PUT HIM INTO THE GARDEN OF EDEN TO
 DRESS IT AND TO KEEP IT.
# 16 AND THE LORD GOD COMMANDED THE MAN, SAYING, OF EVERY TREE OF THE GARDEN
 THOU MAYEST FREELY EAT:
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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;
# 22 AND THE RIB, WHICH THE LORD GOD HAD TAKEN FROM MAN, MADE HE A WOMAN, AND
 BROUGHT HER UNTO THE MAN.
# 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.
# 24 THEREFORE SHALL A MAN LEAVE HIS FATHER AND HIS MOTHER, AND SHALL CLEAVE
 UNTO HIS WIFE: AND THEY SHALL BE ONE FLESH.
# 25 AND THEY WERE BOTH NAKED, THE MAN AND HIS WIFE, AND WERE NOT ASHAMED.
= CHAPTER 3 
# 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?
# 2 AND THE WOMAN SAID UNTO THE SERPENT, WE MAY EAT OF THE FRUIT OF THE TREES
 OF THE GARDEN:
# 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.
# 4 AND THE SERPENT SAID UNTO THE WOMAN, YE SHALL NOT SURELY DIE:
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 9 AND THE LORD GOD CALLED UNTO ADAM, AND SAID UNTO HIM, WHERE ART THOU?
# 10 AND HE SAID, I HEARD THY VOICE IN THE GARDEN, AND I WAS AFRAID, BECAUSE
 I WAS NAKED; AND I HID MYSELF.
# 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?
# 12 AND THE MAN SAID, THE WOMAN WHOM THOU GAVEST TO BE WITH ME, SHE GAVE ME
 OF THE TREE, AND I DID EAT.
# 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.
# 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:
# 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.
# 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.
# 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;
# 18 THORNS ALSO AND THISTLES SHALL IT BRING FORTH TO THEE; AND THOU SHALT
 EAT THE HERB OF THE FIELD;
# 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.
# 20 AND ADAM CALLED HIS WIFES NAME EVE; BECAUSE SHE WAS THE MOTHER OF ALL
 LIVING.
# 21 UNTO ADAM ALSO AND TO HIS WIFE DID THE LORD GOD MAKE COATS OF SKINS, AND
 CLOTHED THEM.
# 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:
# 23 THEREFORE THE LORD GOD SENT HIM FORTH FROM THE GARDEN OF EDEN, TO TILL
 THE GROUND FROM WHENCE HE WAS TAKEN.
# 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.
= CHAPTER 4 
# 1 AND ADAM KNEW EVE HIS WIFE; AND SHE CONCEIVED, AND BARE CAIN, AND SAID, I
 HAVE GOTTEN A MAN FROM THE LORD.
# 2 AND SHE AGAIN BARE HIS BROTHER ABEL. AND ABEL WAS A KEEPER OF SHEEP, BUT
 CAIN WAS A TILLER OF THE GROUND.
# 3 AND IN PROCESS OF TIME IT CAME TO PASS, THAT CAIN BROUGHT OF THE FRUIT OF
 THE GROUND AN OFFERING UNTO THE LORD.
# 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:
# 5 BUT UNTO CAIN AND TO HIS OFFERING HE HAD NOT RESPECT. AND CAIN WAS VERY
 WROTH, AND HIS COUNTENANCE FELL.
# 6 AND THE LORD SAID UNTO CAIN, WHY ART THOU WROTH? AND WHY IS THY
 COUNTENANCE FALLEN?
# 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.
# 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.
# 9 AND THE LORD SAID UNTO CAIN, WHERE IS ABEL THY BROTHER? AND HE SAID, I
 KNOW NOT: AM I MY BROTHERS KEEPER?
# 10 AND HE SAID, WHAT HAST THOU DONE? THE VOICE OF THY BROTHERS BLOOD CRIETH
 UNTO ME FROM THE GROUND.
# 11 AND NOW ART THOU CURSED FROM THE EARTH, WHICH HATH OPENED HER MOUTH TO
 RECEIVE THY BROTHERS BLOOD FROM THY HAND;
# 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.
# 13 AND CAIN SAID UNTO THE LORD, MY PUNISHMENT IS GREATER THAN I CAN BEAR.
# 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.
# 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.
# 16 AND CAIN WENT OUT FROM THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD, AND DWELT IN THE LAND
 OF NOD, ON THE EAST OF EDEN.
# 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.
# 18 AND UNTO ENOCH WAS BORN IRAD: AND IRAD BEGAT MEHUJAEL: AND MEHUJAEL
 BEGAT METHUSAEL: AND METHUSAEL BEGAT LAMECH.
# 19 AND LAMECH TOOK UNTO HIM TWO WIVES: THE NAME OF THE ONE WAS ADAH, AND
 THE NAME OF THE OTHER ZILLAH.
# 20 AND ADAH BARE JABAL: HE WAS THE FATHER OF SUCH AS DWELL IN TENTS, AND OF
 SUCH AS HAVE CATTLE.
# 21 AND HIS BROTHERS NAME WAS JUBAL: HE WAS THE FATHER OF ALL SUCH AS HANDLE
 THE HARP AND ORGAN.
# 22 AND ZILLAH, SHE ALSO BARE TUBALCAIN, AN INSTRUCTER OF EVERY ARTIFICER IN
 BRASS AND IRON: AND THE SISTER OF TUBALCAIN WAS NAAMAH.
# 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.
# 24 IF CAIN SHALL BE AVENGED SEVENFOLD, TRULY LAMECH SEVENTY AND SEVENFOLD.
# 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.
# 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.
= CHAPTER 5 
# 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;
# 2 MALE AND FEMALE CREATED HE THEM; AND BLESSED THEM, AND CALLED THEIR NAME
 ADAM, IN THE DAY WHEN THEY WERE CREATED.
# 3 AND ADAM LIVED AN HUNDRED AND THIRTY YEARS, AND BEGAT A SON IN HIS OWN
 LIKENESS, AND AFTER HIS IMAGE; AND CALLED HIS NAME SETH:

= CHAPTER 6 
# 1 AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN MEN BEGAN TO MULTIPLY ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH,
 AND DAUGHTERS WERE BORN UNTO THEM,
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 6 AND IT REPENTED THE LORD THAT HE HAD MADE MAN ON THE EARTH, AND IT
 GRIEVED HIM AT HIS HEART.
# 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.
# 8 BUT NOAH FOUND GRACE IN THE EYES OF THE LORD.
# 9 THESE ARE THE GENERATIONS OF NOAH: NOAH WAS A JUST MAN AND PERFECT IN HIS
 GENERATIONS, AND NOAH WALKED WITH GOD.
# 10 AND NOAH BEGAT THREE SONS, SHEM, HAM, AND JAPHETH.
# 11 THE EARTH ALSO WAS CORRUPT BEFORE GOD, AND THE EARTH WAS FILLED WITH
 VIOLENCE.
# 12 AND GOD LOOKED UPON THE EARTH, AND, BEHOLD, IT WAS CORRUPT; FOR ALL
 FLESH HAD CORRUPTED HIS WAY UPON THE EARTH.
# 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.
# 14 MAKE THEE AN ARK OF GOPHER WOOD; ROOMS SHALT THOU MAKE IN THE ARK, AND
 SHALT PITCH IT WITHIN AND WITHOUT WITH PITCH.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 22 THUS DID NOAH; ACCORDING TO ALL THAT GOD COMMANDED HIM, SO DID HE.
= CHAPTER 7 
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 5 AND NOAH DID ACCORDING UNTO ALL THAT THE LORD COMMANDED HIM.
# 6 AND NOAH WAS SIX HUNDRED YEARS OLD WHEN THE FLOOD OF WATERS WAS UPON THE
 EARTH.
# 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.
# 8 OF CLEAN BEASTS, AND OF BEASTS THAT ARE NOT CLEAN, AND OF FOWLS, AND OF
 EVERY THING THAT CREEPETH UPON THE EARTH,
# 9 THERE WENT IN TWO AND TWO UNTO NOAH INTO THE ARK, THE MALE AND THE
 FEMALE, AS GOD HAD COMMANDED NOAH.
# 10 AND IT CAME TO PASS AFTER SEVEN DAYS, THAT THE WATERS OF THE FLOOD WERE
 UPON THE EARTH.
# 11 IN THE SIX HUNDREDTH YEAR OF NOAHS 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.
# 12 AND THE RAIN WAS UPON THE EARTH FORTY DAYS AND FORTY NIGHTS.
# 13 IN THE SELFSAME DAY ENTERED NOAH, AND SHEM, AND HAM, AND JAPHETH, THE
 SONS OF NOAH, AND NOAHS WIFE, AND THE THREE WIVES OF HIS SONS WITH THEM, INTO
 THE ARK;
# 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.
# 15 AND THEY WENT IN UNTO NOAH INTO THE ARK, TWO AND TWO OF ALL FLESH,
 WHEREIN IS THE BREATH OF LIFE.
# 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.
# 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.
# 18 AND THE WATERS PREVAILED, AND WERE INCREASED GREATLY UPON THE EARTH; AND
 THE ARK WENT UPON THE FACE OF THE WATERS.
# 19 AND THE WATERS PREVAILED EXCEEDINGLY UPON THE EARTH; AND ALL THE HIGH
 HILLS, THAT WERE UNDER THE WHOLE HEAVEN, WERE COVERED.
# 20 FIFTEEN CUBITS UPWARD DID THE WATERS PREVAIL; AND THE MOUNTAINS WERE
 COVERED.
# 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:
# 22 ALL IN WHOSE NOSTRILS WAS THE BREATH OF LIFE, OF ALL THAT WAS IN THE DRY
 LAND, DIED.
# 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.
# 24 AND THE WATERS PREVAILED UPON THE EARTH AN HUNDRED AND FIFTY DAYS.
= CHAPTER 8 
# 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;
# 2 THE FOUNTAINS ALSO OF THE DEEP AND THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN WERE STOPPED,
 AND THE RAIN FROM HEAVEN WAS RESTRAINED;
# 3 AND THE WATERS RETURNED FROM OFF THE EARTH CONTINUALLY: AND AFTER THE END
 OF THE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DAYS THE WATERS WERE ABATED.
# 4 AND THE ARK RESTED IN THE SEVENTH MONTH, ON THE SEVENTEENTH DAY OF THE
 MONTH, UPON THE MOUNTAINS OF ARARAT.
# 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.
# 6 AND IT CAME TO PASS AT THE END OF FORTY DAYS, THAT NOAH OPENED THE WINDOW
 OF THE ARK WHICH HE HAD MADE:
# 7 AND HE SENT FORTH A RAVEN, WHICH WENT FORTH TO AND FRO, UNTIL THE WATERS
 WERE DRIED UP FROM OFF THE EARTH.
# 8 ALSO HE SENT FORTH A DOVE FROM HIM, TO SEE IF THE WATERS WERE ABATED FROM
 OFF THE FACE OF THE GROUND;
# 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.
# 10 AND HE STAYED YET OTHER SEVEN DAYS; AND AGAIN HE SENT FORTH THE DOVE OUT
 OF THE ARK;
# 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.
# 12 AND HE STAYED YET OTHER SEVEN DAYS; AND SENT FORTH THE DOVE; WHICH
 RETURNED NOT AGAIN UNTO HIM ANY MORE.
# 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.
# 14 AND IN THE SECOND MONTH, ON THE SEVEN AND TWENTIETH DAY OF THE MONTH,
 WAS THE EARTH DRIED.
# 15 AND GOD SPAKE UNTO NOAH, SAYING,
# 16 GO FORTH OF THE ARK, THOU, AND THY WIFE, AND THY SONS, AND THY SONS
 WIVES WITH THEE.
# 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.
# 18 AND NOAH WENT FORTH, AND HIS SONS, AND HIS WIFE, AND HIS SONS WIVES WITH
 HIM:
# 19 EVERY BEAST, EVERY CREEPING THING, AND EVERY FOWL, AND WHATSOEVER
 CREEPETH UPON THE EARTH, AFTER THEIR KINDS, WENT FORTH OUT OF THE ARK.
# 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.
# 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 MANS SAKE; FOR THE IMAGINATION
 OF MANS HEART IS EVIL FROM HIS YOUTH; NEITHER WILL I AGAIN SMITE ANY MORE
 EVERY THING LIVING, AS I HAVE DONE.
# 22 WHILE THE EARTH REMAINETH, SEEDTIME AND HARVEST, AND COLD AND HEAT, AND
 SUMMER AND WINTER, AND DAY AND NIGHT SHALL NOT CEASE.
= CHAPTER 9 
# 1 AND GOD BLESSED NOAH AND HIS SONS, AND SAID UNTO THEM, BE FRUITFUL, AND
 MULTIPLY, AND REPLENISH THE EARTH.
# 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.
# 3 EVERY MOVING THING THAT LIVETH SHALL BE MEAT FOR YOU; EVEN AS THE GREEN
 HERB HAVE I GIVEN YOU ALL THINGS.
# 4 BUT FLESH WITH THE LIFE THEREOF, WHICH IS THE BLOOD THEREOF, SHALL YE NOT
 EAT.
# 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 MANS
 BROTHER WILL I REQUIRE THE LIFE OF MAN.
# 6 WHOSO SHEDDETH MANS BLOOD, BY MAN SHALL HIS BLOOD BE SHED: FOR IN THE
 IMAGE OF GOD MADE HE MAN.
# 7 AND YOU, BE YE FRUITFUL, AND MULTIPLY; BRING FORTH ABUNDANTLY IN THE
 EARTH, AND MULTIPLY THEREIN.
# 8 AND GOD SPAKE UNTO NOAH, AND TO HIS SONS WITH HIM, SAYING,
# 9 AND I, BEHOLD, I ESTABLISH MY COVENANT WITH YOU, AND WITH YOUR SEED AFTER
 YOU;
# 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.
# 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.
# 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:
# 13 I DO SET MY BOW IN THE CLOUD, AND IT SHALL BE FOR A TOKEN OF A COVENANT
 BETWEEN ME AND THE EARTH.
# 14 AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS, WHEN I BRING A CLOUD OVER THE EARTH, THAT THE
 BOW SHALL BE SEEN IN THE CLOUD:
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 19 THESE ARE THE THREE SONS OF NOAH: AND OF THEM WAS THE WHOLE EARTH
 OVERSPREAD.
# 20 AND NOAH BEGAN TO BE AN HUSBANDMAN, AND HE PLANTED A VINEYARD:
# 21 AND HE DRANK OF THE WINE, AND WAS DRUNKEN; AND HE WAS UNCOVERED WITHIN
 HIS TENT.
# 22 AND HAM, THE FATHER OF CANAAN, SAW THE NAKEDNESS OF HIS FATHER, AND TOLD
 HIS TWO BRETHREN WITHOUT.
# 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 FATHERS NAKEDNESS.
# 24 AND NOAH AWOKE FROM HIS WINE, AND KNEW WHAT HIS YOUNGER SON HAD DONE
 UNTO HIM.
# 25 AND HE SAID, CURSED BE CANAAN; A SERVANT OF SERVANTS SHALL HE BE UNTO
 HIS BRETHREN.
# 26 AND HE SAID, BLESSED BE THE LORD GOD OF SHEM; AND CANAAN SHALL BE HIS
 SERVANT.
# 27 GOD SHALL ENLARGE JAPHETH, AND HE SHALL DWELL IN THE TENTS OF SHEM; AND
 CANAAN SHALL BE HIS SERVANT.
# 28 AND NOAH LIVED AFTER THE FLOOD THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS.
# 29 AND ALL THE DAYS OF NOAH WERE NINE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS: AND HE DIED.
= CHAPTER 10 
# 1 NOW THESE ARE THE GENERATIONS OF THE SONS OF NOAH, SHEM, HAM, AND JAPHETH:
 AND UNTO THEM WERE SONS BORN AFTER THE FLOOD.
# 2 THE SONS OF JAPHETH; GOMER, AND MAGOG, AND MADAI, AND JAVAN, AND TUBAL,
 AND MESHECH, AND TIRAS.
# 3 AND THE SONS OF GOMER; ASHKENAZ, AND RIPHATH, AND TOGARMAH.
# 4 AND THE SONS OF JAVAN; ELISHAH, AND TARSHISH, KITTIM, AND DODANIM.
# 5 BY THESE WERE THE ISLES OF THE GENTILES DIVIDED IN THEIR LANDS; EVERY ONE
 AFTER HIS TONGUE, AFTER THEIR FAMILIES, IN THEIR NATIONS.
# 6 AND THE SONS OF HAM; CUSH, AND MIZRAIM, AND PHUT, AND CANAAN.
# 7 AND THE SONS OF CUSH; SEBA, AND HAVILAH, AND SABTAH, AND RAAMAH, AND
 SABTECHAH: AND THE SONS OF RAAMAH; SHEBA, AND DEDAN.
# 8 AND CUSH BEGAT NIMROD: HE BEGAN TO BE A MIGHTY ONE IN THE EARTH.
# 9 HE WAS A MIGHTY HUNTER BEFORE THE LORD: WHEREFORE IT IS SAID, EVEN AS
 NIMROD THE MIGHTY HUNTER BEFORE THE LORD.
# 10 AND THE BEGINNING OF HIS KINGDOM WAS BABEL, AND ERECH, AND ACCAD, AND
 CALNEH, IN THE LAND OF SHINAR.
# 11 OUT OF THAT LAND WENT FORTH ASSHUR, AND BUILDED NINEVEH, AND THE CITY
 REHOBOTH, AND CALAH,
# 12 AND RESEN BETWEEN NINEVEH AND CALAH: THE SAME IS A GREAT CITY.
# 13 AND MIZRAIM BEGAT LUDIM, AND ANAMIM, AND LEHABIM, AND NAPHTUHIM,
# 14 AND PATHRUSIM, AND CASLUHIM, (OUT OF WHOM CAME PHILISTIM,) AND
 CAPHTORIM.
# 15 AND CANAAN BEGAT SIDON HIS FIRST BORN, AND HETH,
# 16 AND THE JEBUSITE, AND THE AMORITE, AND THE GIRGASITE,
# 17 AND THE HIVITE, AND THE ARKITE, AND THE SINITE,
# 18 AND THE ARVADITE, AND THE ZEMARITE, AND THE HAMATHITE: AND AFTERWARD
 WERE THE FAMILIES OF THE CANAANITES SPREAD ABROAD.
# 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.
# 20 THESE ARE THE SONS OF HAM, AFTER THEIR FAMILIES, AFTER THEIR TONGUES, IN
 THEIR COUNTRIES, AND IN THEIR NATIONS.
# 21 UNTO SHEM ALSO, THE FATHER OF ALL THE CHILDREN OF EBER, THE BROTHER OF
 JAPHETH THE ELDER, EVEN TO HIM WERE CHILDREN BORN.
# 22 THE CHILDREN OF SHEM; ELAM, AND ASSHUR, AND ARPHAXAD, AND LUD, AND ARAM.
# 23 AND THE CHILDREN OF ARAM; UZ, AND HUL, AND GETHER, AND MASH.
# 24 AND ARPHAXAD BEGAT SALAH; AND SALAH BEGAT EBER.
# 25 AND UNTO EBER WERE BORN TWO SONS: THE NAME OF ONE WAS PELEG; FOR IN HIS
 DAYS WAS THE EARTH DIVIDED; AND HIS BROTHERS NAME WAS JOKTAN.
# 26 AND JOKTAN BEGAT ALMODAD, AND SHELEPH, AND HAZARMAVETH, AND JERAH,
# 27 AND HADORAM, AND UZAL, AND DIKLAH,
# 28 AND OBAL, AND ABIMAEL, AND SHEBA,
# 29 AND OPHIR, AND HAVILAH, AND JOBAB: ALL THESE WERE THE SONS OF JOKTAN.
# 30 AND THEIR DWELLING WAS FROM MESHA, AS THOU GOEST UNTO SEPHAR A MOUNT OF
 THE EAST.
# 31 THESE ARE THE SONS OF SHEM, AFTER THEIR FAMILIES, AFTER THEIR TONGUES,
 IN THEIR LANDS, AFTER THEIR NATIONS.
# 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.
= CHAPTER 11 
# 1 AND THE WHOLE EARTH WAS OF ONE LANGUAGE, AND OF ONE SPEECH.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 5 AND THE LORD CAME DOWN TO SEE THE CITY AND THE TOWER, WHICH THE CHILDREN
 OF MEN BUILDED.
# 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.
# 7 GO TO, LET US GO DOWN, AND THERE CONFOUND THEIR LANGUAGE, THAT THEY MAY
 NOT UNDERSTAND ONE ANOTHERS SPEECH.
# 8 SO THE LORD SCATTERED THEM ABROAD FROM THENCE UPON THE FACE OF ALL THE
 EARTH: AND THEY LEFT OFF TO BUILD THE CITY.
# 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.
# 10 THESE ARE THE GENERATIONS OF SHEM: SHEM WAS AN HUNDRED YEARS OLD, AND
 BEGAT ARPHAXAD TWO YEARS AFTER THE FLOOD:
# 11 AND SHEM LIVED AFTER HE BEGAT ARPHAXAD FIVE HUNDRED YEARS, AND BEGAT
 SONS AND DAUGHTERS.
# 12 AND ARPHAXAD LIVED FIVE AND THIRTY YEARS, AND BEGAT SALAH:
# 13 AND ARPHAXAD LIVED AFTER HE BEGAT SALAH FOUR HUNDRED AND THREE YEARS,
 AND BEGAT SONS AND DAUGHTERS.
# 14 AND SALAH LIVED THIRTY YEARS, AND BEGAT EBER:
# 15 AND SALAH LIVED AFTER HE BEGAT EBER FOUR HUNDRED AND THREE YEARS, AND
 BEGAT SONS AND DAUGHTERS.
# 16 AND EBER LIVED FOUR AND THIRTY YEARS, AND BEGAT PELEG:
# 17 AND EBER LIVED AFTER HE BEGAT PELEG FOUR HUNDRED AND THIRTY YEARS, AND
 BEGAT SONS AND DAUGHTERS.
# 18 AND PELEG LIVED THIRTY YEARS, AND BEGAT REU:
# 19 AND PELEG LIVED AFTER HE BEGAT REU TWO HUNDRED AND NINE YEARS, AND BEGAT
 SONS AND DAUGHTERS.
# 20 AND REU LIVED TWO AND THIRTY YEARS, AND BEGAT SERUG:
# 21 AND REU LIVED AFTER HE BEGAT SERUG TWO HUNDRED AND SEVEN YEARS, AND
 BEGAT SONS AND DAUGHTERS.
# 22 AND SERUG LIVED THIRTY YEARS, AND BEGAT NAHOR:
# 23 AND SERUG LIVED AFTER HE BEGAT NAHOR TWO HUNDRED YEARS, AND BEGAT SONS
 AND DAUGHTERS.
# 24 AND NAHOR LIVED NINE AND TWENTY YEARS, AND BEGAT TERAH:
# 25 AND NAHOR LIVED AFTER HE BEGAT TERAH AN HUNDRED AND NINETEEN YEARS, AND
 BEGAT SONS AND DAUGHTERS.
# 26 AND TERAH LIVED SEVENTY YEARS, AND BEGAT ABRAM, NAHOR, AND HARAN.
# 27 NOW THESE ARE THE GENERATIONS OF TERAH: TERAH BEGAT ABRAM, NAHOR, AND
 HARAN; AND HARAN BEGAT LOT.
# 28 AND HARAN DIED BEFORE HIS FATHER TERAH IN THE LAND OF HIS NATIVITY, IN
 UR OF THE CHALDEES.
# 29 AND ABRAM AND NAHOR TOOK THEM WIVES: THE NAME OF ABRAMS WIFE WAS SARAI;
 AND THE NAME OF NAHORS WIFE, MILCAH, THE DAUGHTER OF HARAN, THE FATHER OF
 MILCAH, AND THE FATHER OF ISCAH.
# 30 BUT SARAI WAS BARREN; SHE HAD NO CHILD.
# 31 AND TERAH TOOK ABRAM HIS SON, AND LOT THE SON OF HARAN HIS SONS SON, AND
 SARAI HIS DAUGHTER IN LAW, HIS SON ABRAMS 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.
# 32 AND THE DAYS OF TERAH WERE TWO HUNDRED AND FIVE YEARS: AND TERAH DIED IN
 HARAN.
= CHAPTER 12 
# 1 NOW THE LORD HAD SAID UNTO ABRAM, GET THEE OUT OF THY COUNTRY, AND FROM
 THY KINDRED, AND FROM THY FATHERS HOUSE, UNTO A LAND THAT I WILL SHEW THEE:
# 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:
# 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.
# 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.
# 5 AND ABRAM TOOK SARAI HIS WIFE, AND LOT HIS BROTHERS 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 9 AND ABRAM JOURNEYED, GOING ON STILL TOWARD THE SOUTH.
# 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.
# 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:
# 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.
# 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.
# 14 AND IT CAME TO PASS, THAT, WHEN ABRAM WAS COME INTO EGYPT, THE EGYPTIANS
 BEHELD THE WOMAN THAT SHE WAS VERY FAIR.
# 15 THE PRINCES ALSO OF PHARAOH SAW HER, AND COMMENDED HER BEFORE PHARAOH:
 AND THE WOMAN WAS TAKEN INTO PHARAOHS HOUSE.
# 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.
# 17 AND THE LORD PLAGUED PHARAOH AND HIS HOUSE WITH GREAT PLAGUES BECAUSE OF
 SARAI ABRAMS WIFE.
# 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?
# 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.
# 20 AND PHARAOH COMMANDED HIS MEN CONCERNING HIM: AND THEY SENT HIM AWAY,
 AND HIS WIFE, AND ALL THAT HE HAD.
= CHAPTER 13 
# 1 AND ABRAM WENT UP OUT OF EGYPT, HE, AND HIS WIFE, AND ALL THAT HE HAD, AND
 LOT WITH HIM, INTO THE SOUTH.
# 2 AND ABRAM WAS VERY RICH IN CATTLE, IN SILVER, AND IN GOLD.
# 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;
# 4 UNTO THE PLACE OF THE ALTAR, WHICH HE HAD MAKE THERE AT THE FIRST: AND
 THERE ABRAM CALLED ON THE NAME OF THE LORD.
# 5 AND LOT ALSO, WHICH WENT WITH ABRAM, HAD FLOCKS, AND HERDS, AND TENTS.
# 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.
# 7 AND THERE WAS A STRIFE BETWEEN THE HERDMEN OF ABRAMS CATTLE AND THE
 HERDMEN OF LOTS CATTLE: AND THE CANAANITE AND THE PERIZZITE DWELLED THEN IN
 THE LAND.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 11 THEN LOT CHOSE HIM ALL THE PLAIN OF JORDAN; AND LOT JOURNEYED EAST: AND
 THEY SEPARATED THEMSELVES THE ONE FROM THE OTHER.
# 12 ABRAM DWELLED IN THE LAND OF CANAAN, AND LOT DWELLED IN THE CITIES OF
 THE PLAIN, AND PITCHED HIS TENT TOWARD SODOM.
# 13 BUT THE MEN OF SODOM WERE WICKED AND SINNERS BEFORE THE LORD
 EXCEEDINGLY.
# 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:
# 15 FOR ALL THE LAND WHICH THOU SEEST, TO THEE WILL I GIVE IT, AND TO THY
 SEED FOR EVER.
# 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.
# 17 ARISE, WALK THROUGH THE LAND IN THE LENGTH OF IT AND IN THE BREADTH OF
 IT; FOR I WILL GIVE IT UNTO THEE.
# 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.
= CHAPTER 14 
# 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;
# 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.
# 3 ALL THESE WERE JOINED TOGETHER IN THE VALE OF SIDDIM, WHICH IS THE SALT
 SEA.
# 4 TWELVE YEARS THEY SERVED CHEDORLAOMER, AND IN THE THIRTEENTH YEAR THEY
 REBELLED.
# 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 EMINS IN SHAVEH KIRIATHAIM,
# 6 AND THE HORITES IN THEIR MOUNT SEIR, UNTO ELPARAN, WHICH IS BY THE
 WILDERNESS.
# 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.
# 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;
# 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.
# 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.
# 11 AND THEY TOOK ALL THE GOODS OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH, AND ALL THEIR
 VICTUALS, AND WENT THEIR WAY.
# 12 AND THEY TOOK LOT, ABRAMS BROTHERS SON, WHO DWELT IN SODOM, AND HIS
 GOODS, AND DEPARTED.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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 KINGS DALE.
# 18 AND MELCHIZEDEK KING OF SALEM BROUGHT FORTH BREAD AND WINE: AND HE WAS
 THE PRIEST OF THE MOST HIGH GOD.
# 19 AND HE BLESSED HIM, AND SAID, BLESSED BE ABRAM OF THE MOST HIGH GOD,
 POSSESSOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH:
# 20 AND BLESSED BE THE MOST HIGH GOD, WHICH HATH DELIVERED THINE ENEMIES
 INTO THY HAND. AND HE GAVE HIM TITHES OF ALL.
# 21 AND THE KING OF SODOM SAID UNTO ABRAM, GIVE ME THE PERSONS, AND TAKE THE
 GOODS TO THYSELF.
# 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,
# 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:
# 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.
= CHAPTER 15 
# 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.
# 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?
# 3 AND ABRAM SAID, BEHOLD, TO ME THOU HAST GIVEN NO SEED: AND, LO, ONE BORN
 IN MY HOUSE IS MINE HEIR.
# 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.
# 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.
# 6 AND HE BELIEVED IN THE LORD; AND HE COUNTED IT TO HIM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
# 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.
# 8 AND HE SAID, LORD GOD, WHEREBY SHALL I KNOW THAT I SHALL INHERIT IT?
# 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.
# 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.
# 11 AND WHEN THE FOWLS CAME DOWN UPON THE CARCASES, ABRAM DROVE THEM AWAY.
# 12 AND WHEN THE SUN WAS GOING DOWN, A DEEP SLEEP FELL UPON ABRAM; AND, LO,
 AN HORROR OF GREAT DARKNESS FELL UPON HIM.
# 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;
# 14 AND ALSO THAT NATION, WHOM THEY SHALL SERVE, WILL I JUDGE: AND AFTERWARD
 SHALL THEY COME OUT WITH GREAT SUBSTANCE.
# 15 AND THOU SHALT GO TO THY FATHERS IN PEACE; THOU SHALT BE BURIED IN A
 GOOD OLD AGE.
# 16 BUT IN THE FOURTH GENERATION THEY SHALL COME HITHER AGAIN: FOR THE
 INIQUITY OF THE AMORITES IS NOT YET FULL.
# 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.
# 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:
# 19 THE KENITES, AND THE KENIZZITES, AND THE KADMONITES,
# 20 AND THE HITTITES, AND THE PERIZZITES, AND THE REPHAIMS,
# 21 AND THE AMORITES, AND THE CANAANITES, AND THE GIRGASHITES, AND THE
 JEBUSITES.
= CHAPTER 16 
# 1 NOW SARAI ABRAMS WIFE BARE HIM NO CHILDREN: AND SHE HAD AN HANDMAID, AN
 EGYPTIAN, WHOSE NAME WAS HAGAR.
# 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.
# 3 AND SARAI ABRAMS 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 6 BUT ABRAM SAID UNTO SARAI, BEHOLD, THY MAID IS IN THINE HAND; DO TO HER
 AS IT PLEASETH THEE. AND WHEN SARAI DEALT HARDLY WITH HER, SHE FLED FROM HER
 FACE.
# 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.
# 8 AND HE SAID, HAGAR, SARAIS MAID, WHENCE CAMEST THOU? AND WHITHER WILT
 THOU GO? AND SHE SAID, I FLEE FROM THE FACE OF MY MISTRESS SARAI.
# 9 AND THE ANGEL OF THE LORD SAID UNTO HER, RETURN TO THY MISTRESS, AND
 SUBMIT THYSELF UNDER HER HANDS.
# 10 AND THE ANGEL OF THE LORD SAID UNTO HER, I WILL MULTIPLY THY SEED
 EXCEEDINGLY, THAT IT SHALL NOT BE NUMBERED FOR MULTITUDE.
# 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.
# 12 AND HE WILL BE A WILD MAN; HIS HAND WILL BE AGAINST EVERY MAN, AND EVERY
 MANS HAND AGAINST HIM; AND HE SHALL DWELL IN THE PRESENCE OF ALL HIS
 BRETHREN.
# 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?
# 14 WHEREFORE THE WELL WAS CALLED BEERLAHAIROI; BEHOLD, IT IS BETWEEN KADESH
 AND BERED.
# 15 AND HAGAR BARE ABRAM A SON: AND ABRAM CALLED HIS SONS NAME, WHICH HAGAR
 BARE, ISHMAEL.
# 16 AND ABRAM WAS FOURSCORE AND SIX YEARS OLD, WHEN HAGAR BARE ISHMAEL TO
 ABRAM.
= CHAPTER 17 
# 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.
# 2 AND I WILL MAKE MY COVENANT BETWEEN ME AND THEE, AND WILL MULTIPLY THEE
 EXCEEDINGLY.
# 3 AND ABRAM FELL ON HIS FACE: AND GOD TALKED WITH HIM, SAYING,
# 4 AS FOR ME, BEHOLD, MY COVENANT IS WITH THEE, AND THOU SHALT BE A FATHER
 OF MANY NATIONS.
# 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.
# 6 AND I WILL MAKE THEE EXCEEDING FRUITFUL, AND I WILL MAKE NATIONS OF THEE,
 AND KINGS SHALL COME OUT OF THEE.
# 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.
# 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.
# 9 AND GOD SAID UNTO ABRAHAM, THOU SHALT KEEP MY COVENANT THEREFORE, THOU,
 AND THY SEED AFTER THEE IN THEIR GENERATIONS.
# 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.
# 11 AND YE SHALL CIRCUMCISE THE FLESH OF YOUR FORESKIN; AND IT SHALL BE A
 TOKEN OF THE COVENANT BETWIXT ME AND YOU.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 15 AND GOD SAID UNTO ABRAHAM, AS FOR SARAI THY WIFE, THOU SHALT NOT CALL
 HER NAME SARAI, BUT SARAH SHALL HER NAME BE.
# 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.
# 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?
# 18 AND ABRAHAM SAID UNTO GOD, O THAT ISHMAEL MIGHT LIVE BEFORE THEE!
# 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.
# 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.
# 21 BUT MY COVENANT WILL I ESTABLISH WITH ISAAC, WHICH SARAH SHALL BEAR UNTO
 THEE AT THIS SET TIME IN THE NEXT YEAR.
# 22 AND HE LEFT OFF TALKING WITH HIM, AND GOD WENT UP FROM ABRAHAM.
# 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 ABRAHAMS
 HOUSE; AND CIRCUMCISED THE FLESH OF THEIR FORESKIN IN THE SELFSAME DAY, AS
 GOD HAD SAID UNTO HIM.
# 24 AND ABRAHAM WAS NINETY YEARS OLD AND NINE, WHEN HE WAS CIRCUMCISED IN
 THE FLESH OF HIS FORESKIN.
# 25 AND ISHMAEL HIS SON WAS THIRTEEN YEARS OLD, WHEN HE WAS CIRCUMCISED IN
 THE FLESH OF HIS FORESKIN.
# 26 IN THE SELFSAME DAY WAS ABRAHAM CIRCUMCISED, AND ISHMAEL HIS SON.
# 27 AND ALL THE MEN OF HIS HOUSE, BORN IN THE HOUSE, AND BOUGHT WITH MONEY
 OF THE STRANGER, WERE CIRCUMCISED WITH HIM.
= CHAPTER 18 
# 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;
# 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,
# 3 AND SAID, MY LORD, IF NOW I HAVE FOUND FAVOUR IN THY SIGHT, PASS NOT
 AWAY, I PRAY THEE, FROM THY SERVANT:
# 4 LET A LITTLE WATER, I PRAY YOU, BE FETCHED, AND WASH YOUR FEET, AND REST
 YOURSELVES UNDER THE TREE:
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 9 AND THEY SAID UNTO HIM, WHERE IS SARAH THY WIFE? AND HE SAID, BEHOLD, IN
 THE TENT.
# 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.
# 11 NOW ABRAHAM AND SARAH WERE OLD AND WELL STRICKEN IN AGE; AND IT CEASED
 TO BE WITH SARAH AFTER THE MANNER OF WOMEN.
# 12 THEREFORE SARAH LAUGHED WITHIN HERSELF, SAYING, AFTER I AM WAXED OLD
 SHALL I HAVE PLEASURE, MY LORD BEING OLD ALSO?
# 13 AND THE LORD SAID UNTO ABRAHAM, WHEREFORE DID SARAH LAUGH, SAYING, SHALL
 I OF A SURETY BEAR A CHILD, WHICH AM OLD?
# 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.
# 15 THEN SARAH DENIED, SAYING, I LAUGHED NOT; FOR SHE WAS AFRAID. AND HE
 SAID, NAY; BUT THOU DIDST LAUGH.
# 16 AND THE MEN ROSE UP FROM THENCE, AND LOOKED TOWARD SODOM: AND ABRAHAM
 WENT WITH THEM TO BRING THEM ON THE WAY.
# 17 AND THE LORD SAID, SHALL I HIDE FROM ABRAHAM THAT THING WHICH I DO;
# 18 SEEING THAT ABRAHAM SHALL SURELY BECOME A GREAT AND MIGHTY NATION, AND
 ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH SHALL BE BLESSED IN HIM?
# 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.
# 20 AND THE LORD SAID, BECAUSE THE CRY OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH IS GREAT, AND
 BECAUSE THEIR SIN IS VERY GRIEVOUS;
# 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.
# 22 AND THE MEN TURNED THEIR FACES FROM THENCE, AND WENT TOWARD SODOM: BUT
 ABRAHAM STOOD YET BEFORE THE LORD.
# 23 AND ABRAHAM DREW NEAR, AND SAID, WILT THOU ALSO DESTROY THE RIGHTEOUS
 WITH THE WICKED?
# 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?
# 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?
# 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.
# 27 AND ABRAHAM ANSWERED AND SAID, BEHOLD NOW, I HAVE TAKEN UPON ME TO SPEAK
 UNTO THE LORD, WHICH AM BUT DUST AND ASHES:
# 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.
# 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 FORTYS SAKE.
# 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.
# 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 TWENTYS SAKE.
# 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 TENS SAKE.
# 33 AND THE LORD WENT HIS WAY, AS SOON AS HE HAD LEFT COMMUNING WITH
 ABRAHAM: AND ABRAHAM RETURNED UNTO HIS PLACE.
= CHAPTER 19 
# 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;
# 2 AND HE SAID, BEHOLD NOW, MY LORDS, TURN IN, I PRAY YOU, INTO YOUR
 SERVANTS 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.
# 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.
# 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:
# 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.
# 6 AND LOT WENT OUT AT THE DOOR UNTO THEM, AND SHUT THE DOOR AFTER HIM,
# 7 AND SAID, I PRAY YOU, BRETHREN, DO NOT SO WICKEDLY.
# 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.
# 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.
# 10 BUT THE MEN PUT FORTH THEIR HAND, AND PULLED LOT INTO THE HOUSE TO THEM,
 AND SHUT TO THE DOOR.
# 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.
# 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:
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 18 AND LOT SAID UNTO THEM, OH, NOT SO, MY LORD:
# 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:
# 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.
# 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.
# 22 HASTE THEE, ESCAPE THITHER; FOR I CANNOT DO ANYTHING TILL THOU BE COME
 THITHER. THEREFORE THE NAME OF THE CITY WAS CALLED ZOAR.
# 23 THE SUN WAS RISEN UPON THE EARTH WHEN LOT ENTERED INTO ZOAR.
# 24 THEN THE LORD RAINED UPON SODOM AND UPON GOMORRAH BRIMSTONE AND FIRE
 FROM THE LORD OUT OF HEAVEN;
# 25 AND HE OVERTHREW THOSE CITIES, AND ALL THE PLAIN, AND ALL THE
 INHABITANTS OF THE CITIES, AND THAT WHICH GREW UPON THE GROUND.
# 26 BUT HIS WIFE LOOKED BACK FROM BEHIND HIM, AND SHE BECAME A PILLAR OF
 SALT.
# 27 AND ABRAHAM GAT UP EARLY IN THE MORNING TO THE PLACE WHERE HE STOOD
 BEFORE THE LORD:
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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:
# 32 COME, LET US MAKE OUR FATHER DRINK WINE, AND WE WILL LIE WITH HIM, THAT
 WE MAY PRESERVE SEED OF OUR FATHER.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 36 THUS WERE BOTH THE DAUGHTERS OF LOT WITH CHILD BY THEIR FATHER.
# 37 AND THE FIRST BORN BARE A SON, AND CALLED HIS NAME MOAB: THE SAME IS THE
 FATHER OF THE MOABITES UNTO THIS DAY.
# 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.
= CHAPTER 20 
# 1 AND ABRAHAM JOURNEYED FROM THENCE TOWARD THE SOUTH COUNTRY, AND DWELLED
 BETWEEN KADESH AND SHUR, AND SOJOURNED IN GERAR.
# 2 AND ABRAHAM SAID OF SARAH HIS WIFE, SHE IS MY SISTER: AND ABIMELECH KING
 OF GERAR SENT, AND TOOK SARAH.
# 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
 MANS WIFE.
# 4 BUT ABIMELECH HAD NOT COME NEAR HER: AND HE SAID, LORD, WILT THOU SLAY
 ALSO A RIGHTEOUS NATION?
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 10 AND ABIMELECH SAID UNTO ABRAHAM, WHAT SAWEST THOU, THAT THOU HAST DONE
 THIS THING?
# 11 AND ABRAHAM SAID, BECAUSE I THOUGHT, SURELY THE FEAR OF GOD IS NOT IN
 THIS PLACE; AND THEY WILL SLAY ME FOR MY WIFES SAKE.
# 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.
# 13 AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN GOD CAUSED ME TO WANDER FROM MY FATHERS 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.
# 14 AND ABIMELECH TOOK SHEEP, AND OXEN, AND MENSERVANTS, AND WOMENSERVANTS,
 AND GAVE THEM UNTO ABRAHAM, AND RESTORED HIM SARAH HIS WIFE.
# 15 AND ABIMELECH SAID, BEHOLD, MY LAND IS BEFORE THEE: DWELL WHERE IT
 PLEASETH THEE.
# 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.
# 17 SO ABRAHAM PRAYED UNTO GOD: AND GOD HEALED ABIMELECH, AND HIS WIFE, AND
 HIS MAIDSERVANTS; AND THEY BARE CHILDREN.
# 18 FOR THE LORD HAD FAST CLOSED UP ALL THE WOMBS OF THE HOUSE OF ABIMELECH,
 BECAUSE OF SARAH ABRAHAMS WIFE.
= CHAPTER 21 
# 1 AND THE LORD VISITED SARAH AS HE HAD SAID, AND THE LORD DID UNTO SARAH AS
 HE HAD SPOKEN.
# 2 FOR SARAH CONCEIVED, AND BARE ABRAHAM A SON IN HIS OLD AGE, AT THE SET
 TIME OF WHICH GOD HAD SPOKEN TO HIM.
# 3 AND ABRAHAM CALLED THE NAME OF HIS SON THAT WAS BORN UNTO HIM, WHOM SARAH
 BARE TO HIM, ISAAC.
# 4 AND ABRAHAM CIRCUMCISED HIS SON ISAAC BEING EIGHT DAYS OLD, AS GOD HAD
 COMMANDED HIM.
# 5 AND ABRAHAM WAS AN HUNDRED YEARS OLD, WHEN HIS SON ISAAC WAS BORN UNTO
 HIM.
# 6 AND SARAH SAID, GOD HATH MADE ME TO LAUGH, SO THAT ALL THAT HEAR WILL
 LAUGH WITH ME.
# 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.
# 8 AND THE CHILD GREW, AND WAS WEANED: AND ABRAHAM MADE A GREAT FEAST THE
 SAME DAY THAT ISAAC WAS WEANED.
# 9 AND SARAH SAW THE SON OF HAGAR THE EGYPTIAN, WHICH SHE HAD BORN UNTO
 ABRAHAM, MOCKING.
# 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.
# 11 AND THE THING WAS VERY GRIEVOUS IN ABRAHAMS SIGHT BECAUSE OF HIS SON.
# 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.
# 13 AND ALSO OF THE SON OF THE BONDWOMAN WILL I MAKE A NATION, BECAUSE HE IS
 THY SEED.
# 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.
# 15 AND THE WATER WAS SPENT IN THE BOTTLE, AND SHE CAST THE CHILD UNDER ONE
 OF THE SHRUBS.
# 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.
# 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.
# 18 ARISE, LIFT UP THE LAD, AND HOLD HIM IN THINE HAND; FOR I WILL MAKE HIM
 A GREAT NATION.
# 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.
# 20 AND GOD WAS WITH THE LAD; AND HE GREW, AND DWELT IN THE WILDERNESS, AND
 BECAME AN ARCHER.
# 21 AND HE DWELT IN THE WILDERNESS OF PARAN: AND HIS MOTHER TOOK HIM A WIFE
 OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT.
# 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:
# 23 NOW THEREFORE SWEAR UNTO ME HERE BY GOD THAT THOU WILT NOT DEAL FALSELY
 WITH ME, NOR WITH MY SON, NOR WITH MY SONS 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.
# 24 AND ABRAHAM SAID, I WILL SWEAR.
# 25 AND ABRAHAM REPROVED ABIMELECH BECAUSE OF A WELL OF WATER, WHICH
 ABIMELECHS SERVANTS HAD VIOLENTLY TAKEN AWAY.
# 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.
# 27 AND ABRAHAM TOOK SHEEP AND OXEN, AND GAVE THEM UNTO ABIMELECH; AND BOTH
 OF THEM MADE A COVENANT.
# 28 AND ABRAHAM SET SEVEN EWE LAMBS OF THE FLOCK BY THEMSELVES.
# 29 AND ABIMELECH SAID UNTO ABRAHAM, WHAT MEAN THESE SEVEN EWE LAMBS WHICH
 THOU HAST SET BY THEMSELVES?
# 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.
# 31 WHEREFORE HE CALLED THAT PLACE BEERSHEBA; BECAUSE THERE THEY SWARE BOTH
 OF THEM.
# 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.
# 33 AND ABRAHAM PLANTED A GROVE IN BEERSHEBA, AND CALLED THERE ON THE NAME
 OF THE LORD, THE EVERLASTING GOD.
# 34 AND ABRAHAM SOJOURNED IN THE PHILISTINES LAND MANY DAYS.
= CHAPTER 22 
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 4 THEN ON THE THIRD DAY ABRAHAM LIFTED UP HIS EYES, AND SAW THE PLACE AFAR
 OFF.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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?
# 8 AND ABRAHAM SAID, MY SON, GOD WILL PROVIDE HIMSELF A LAMB FOR A BURNT
 OFFERING: SO THEY WENT BOTH OF THEM TOGETHER.
# 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.
# 10 AND ABRAHAM STRETCHED FORTH HIS HAND, AND TOOK THE KNIFE TO SLAY HIS
 SON.
# 11 AND THE ANGEL OF THE LORD CALLED UNTO HIM OUT OF HEAVEN, AND SAID,
 ABRAHAM, ABRAHAM: AND HE SAID, HERE AM I.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 15 AND THE ANGEL OF THE LORD CALLED UNTO ABRAHAM OUT OF HEAVEN THE SECOND
 TIME,
# 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:
# 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;
# 18 AND IN THY SEED SHALL ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH BE BLESSED; BECAUSE
 THOU HAST OBEYED MY VOICE.
# 19 SO ABRAHAM RETURNED UNTO HIS YOUNG MEN, AND THEY ROSE UP AND WENT
 TOGETHER TO BEERSHEBA; AND ABRAHAM DWELT AT BEERSHEBA.
# 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;
# 21 HUZ HIS FIRSTBORN, AND BUZ HIS BROTHER, AND KEMUEL THE FATHER OF ARAM,
# 22 AND CHESED, AND HAZO, AND PILDASH, AND JIDLAPH, AND BETHUEL.
# 23 AND BETHUEL BEGAT REBEKAH: THESE EIGHT MILCAH DID BEAR TO NAHOR,
 ABRAHAMS BROTHER.
# 24 AND HIS CONCUBINE, WHOSE NAME WAS REUMAH, SHE BARE ALSO TEBAH, AND
 GAHAM, AND THAHASH, AND MAACHAH.
= CHAPTER 23 
# 1 AND SARAH WAS AN HUNDRED AND SEVEN AND TWENTY YEARS OLD: THESE WERE THE
 YEARS OF THE LIFE OF SARAH.
# 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.
# 3 AND ABRAHAM STOOD UP FROM BEFORE HIS DEAD, AND SPAKE UNTO THE SONS OF
 HETH, SAYING,
# 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.
# 5 AND THE CHILDREN OF HETH ANSWERED ABRAHAM, SAYING UNTO HIM,
# 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.
# 7 AND ABRAHAM STOOD UP, AND BOWED HIMSELF TO THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND, EVEN
 TO THE CHILDREN OF HETH.
# 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,
# 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.
# 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,
# 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.
# 12 AND ABRAHAM BOWED DOWN HIMSELF BEFORE THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND.
# 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.
# 14 AND EPHRON ANSWERED ABRAHAM, SAYING UNTO HIM,
# 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.
# 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.
# 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
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
= CHAPTER 24 
# 1 AND ABRAHAM WAS OLD, AND WELL STRICKEN IN AGE: AND THE LORD HAD BLESSED
 ABRAHAM IN ALL THINGS.
# 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:
# 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:
# 4 BUT THOU SHALT GO UNTO MY COUNTRY, AND TO MY KINDRED, AND TAKE A WIFE
 UNTO MY SON ISAAC.
# 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?
# 6 AND ABRAHAM SAID UNTO HIM, BEWARE THOU THAT THOU BRING NOT MY SON THITHER
 AGAIN.
# 7 THE LORD GOD OF HEAVEN, WHICH TOOK ME FROM MY FATHERS 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.
# 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.
# 9 AND THE SERVANT PUT HIS HAND UNDER THE THIGH OF ABRAHAM HIS MASTER, AND
 SWARE TO HIM CONCERNING THAT MATTER.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 13 BEHOLD, I STAND HERE BY THE WELL OF WATER; AND THE DAUGHTERS OF THE MEN
 OF THE CITY COME OUT TO DRAW WATER:
# 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.
# 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, ABRAHAMS
 BROTHER, WITH HER PITCHER UPON HER SHOULDER.
# 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.
# 17 AND THE SERVANT RAN TO MEET HER, AND SAID, LET ME, I PRAY THEE, DRINK A
 LITTLE WATER OF THY PITCHER.
# 18 AND SHE SAID, DRINK, MY LORD: AND SHE HASTED, AND LET DOWN HER PITCHER
 UPON HER HAND, AND GAVE HIM DRINK.
# 19 AND WHEN SHE HAD DONE GIVING HIM DRINK, SHE SAID, I WILL DRAW WATER FOR
 THY CAMELS ALSO, UNTIL THEY HAVE DONE DRINKING.
# 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.
# 21 AND THE MAN WONDERING AT HER HELD HIS PEACE, TO WIT WHETHER THE LORD HAD
 MADE HIS JOURNEY PROSPEROUS OR NOT.
# 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;
# 23 AND SAID, WHOSE DAUGHTER ART THOU? TELL ME, I PRAY THEE: IS THERE ROOM
 IN THY FATHERS HOUSE FOR US TO LODGE IN?
# 24 AND SHE SAID UNTO HIM, I AM THE DAUGHTER OF BETHUEL THE SON OF MILCAH,
 WHICH SHE BARE UNTO NAHOR.
# 25 SHE SAID MOREOVER UNTO HIM, WE HAVE BOTH STRAW AND PROVENDER ENOUGH, AND
 ROOM TO LODGE IN.
# 26 AND THE MAN BOWED DOWN HIS HEAD, AND WORSHIPPED THE LORD.
# 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 MASTERS BRETHREN.
# 28 AND THE DAMSEL RAN, AND TOLD THEM OF HER MOTHERS HOUSE THESE THINGS.
# 29 AND REBEKAH HAD A BROTHER, AND HIS NAME WAS LABAN: AND LABAN RAN OUT
 UNTO THE MAN, UNTO THE WELL.
# 30 AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN HE SAW THE EARRING AND BRACELETS UPON HIS
 SISTERS 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.
# 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.
# 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 MENS
 FEET THAT WERE WITH HIM.
# 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.
# 34 AND HE SAID, I AM ABRAHAMS SERVANT.
# 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.
# 36 AND SARAH MY MASTERS WIFE BARE A SON TO MY MASTER WHEN SHE WAS OLD: AND
 UNTO HIM HATH HE GIVEN ALL THAT HE HATH.
# 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:
# 38 BUT THOU SHALT GO UNTO MY FATHERS HOUSE, AND TO MY KINDRED, AND TAKE A
 WIFE UNTO MY SON.
# 39 AND I SAID UNTO MY MASTER, PERADVENTURE THE WOMAN WILL NOT FOLLOW ME.
# 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 FATHERS HOUSE:
# 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.
# 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:
# 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;
# 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 MASTERS
 SON.
# 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.
# 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.
# 47 AND I ASKED HER, AND SAID, WHOSE DAUGHTER ART THOU? AND SHE SAID, THE
 DAUGHTER OF BETHUEL, NAHORS SON, WHOM MILCAH BARE UNTO HIM: AND I PUT THE
 EARRING UPON HER FACE, AND THE BRACELETS UPON HER HANDS.
# 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
 MASTERS BROTHERS DAUGHTER UNTO HIS SON.
# 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.
# 50 THEN LABAN AND BETHUEL ANSWERED AND SAID, THE THING PROCEEDETH FROM THE
 LORD: WE CANNOT SPEAK UNTO THEE BAD OR GOOD.
# 51 BEHOLD, REBEKAH IS BEFORE THEE, TAKE HER, AND GO, AND LET HER BE THY
 MASTERS SONS WIFE, AS THE LORD HATH SPOKEN.
# 52 AND IT CAME TO PASS, THAT, WHEN ABRAHAMS SERVANT HEARD THEIR WORDS, HE
 WORSHIPPED THE LORD, BOWING HIMSELF TO THE EARTH.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 57 AND THEY SAID, WE WILL CALL THE DAMSEL, AND ENQUIRE AT HER MOUTH.
# 58 AND THEY CALLED REBEKAH, AND SAID UNTO HER, WILT THOU GO WITH THIS MAN?
 AND SHE SAID, I WILL GO.
# 59 AND THEY SENT AWAY REBEKAH THEIR SISTER, AND HER NURSE, AND ABRAHAMS
 SERVANT, AND HIS MEN.
# 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.
# 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.
# 62 AND ISAAC CAME FROM THE WAY OF THE WELL LAHAIROI; FOR HE DWELT IN THE
 SOUTH COUNTRY.
# 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.
# 64 AND REBEKAH LIFTED UP HER EYES, AND WHEN SHE SAW ISAAC, SHE LIGHTED OFF
 THE CAMEL.
# 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.
# 66 AND THE SERVANT TOLD ISAAC ALL THINGS THAT HE HAD DONE.
# 67 AND ISAAC BROUGHT HER INTO HIS MOTHER SARAHS TENT, AND TOOK REBEKAH, AND
 SHE BECAME HIS WIFE; AND HE LOVED HER: AND ISAAC WAS COMFORTED AFTER HIS
 MOTHERS DEATH.
= CHAPTER 25 
# 1 THEN AGAIN ABRAHAM TOOK A WIFE, AND HER NAME WAS KETURAH.
# 2 AND SHE BARE HIM ZIMRAN, AND JOKSHAN, AND MEDAN, AND MIDIAN, AND ISHBAK,
 AND SHUAH.
# 3 AND JOKSHAN BEGAT SHEBA, AND DEDAN. AND THE SONS OF DEDAN WERE ASSHURIM,
 AND LETUSHIM, AND LEUMMIM.
# 4 AND THE SONS OF MIDIAN; EPHAH, AND EPHER, AND HANOCH, AND ABIDAH, AND
 ELDAAH. ALL THESE WERE THE CHILDREN OF KETURAH.
# 5 AND ABRAHAM GAVE ALL THAT HE HAD UNTO ISAAC.
# 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.
# 7 AND THESE ARE THE DAYS OF THE YEARS OF ABRAHAMS LIFE WHICH HE LIVED, AN
 HUNDRED THREESCORE AND FIFTEEN YEARS.
# 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.
# 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;
# 10 THE FIELD WHICH ABRAHAM PURCHASED OF THE SONS OF HETH: THERE WAS ABRAHAM
 BURIED, AND SARAH HIS WIFE.
# 11 AND IT CAME TO PASS AFTER THE DEATH OF ABRAHAM, THAT GOD BLESSED HIS SON
 ISAAC; AND ISAAC DWELT BY THE WELL LAHAIROI.
# 12 NOW THESE ARE THE GENERATIONS OF ISHMAEL, ABRAHAMS SON, WHOM HAGAR THE
 EGYPTIAN, SARAHS HANDMAID, BARE UNTO ABRAHAM:
# 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,
# 14 AND MISHMA, AND DUMAH, AND MASSA,
# 15 HADAR, AND TEMA, JETUR, NAPHISH, AND KEDEMAH:
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 19 AND THESE ARE THE GENERATIONS OF ISAAC, ABRAHAMS SON: ABRAHAM BEGAT
 ISAAC:
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 24 AND WHEN HER DAYS TO BE DELIVERED WERE FULFILLED, BEHOLD, THERE WERE
 TWINS IN HER WOMB.
# 25 AND THE FIRST CAME OUT RED, ALL OVER LIKE AN HAIRY GARMENT; AND THEY
 CALLED HIS NAME ESAU.
# 26 AND AFTER THAT CAME HIS BROTHER OUT, AND HIS HAND TOOK HOLD ON ESAUS
 HEEL; AND HIS NAME WAS CALLED JACOB: AND ISAAC WAS THREESCORE YEARS OLD WHEN
 SHE BARE THEM.
# 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.
# 28 AND ISAAC LOVED ESAU, BECAUSE HE DID EAT OF HIS VENISON: BUT REBEKAH
 LOVED JACOB.
# 29 AND JACOB SOD POTTAGE: AND ESAU CAME FROM THE FIELD, AND HE WAS FAINT:
# 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.
# 31 AND JACOB SAID, SELL ME THIS DAY THY BIRTHRIGHT.
# 32 AND ESAU SAID, BEHOLD, I AM AT THE POINT TO DIE: AND WHAT PROFIT SHALL
 THIS BIRTHRIGHT DO TO ME?
# 33 AND JACOB SAID, SWEAR TO ME THIS DAY; AND HE SWARE UNTO HIM: AND HE SOLD
 HIS BIRTHRIGHT UNTO JACOB.
# 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.
= CHAPTER 26 
# 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.
# 2 AND THE LORD APPEARED UNTO HIM, AND SAID, GO NOT DOWN INTO EGYPT; DWELL
 IN THE LAND WHICH I SHALL TELL THEE OF:
# 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;
# 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;
# 5 BECAUSE THAT ABRAHAM OBEYED MY VOICE, AND KEPT MY CHARGE, MY
 COMMANDMENTS, MY STATUTES, AND MY LAWS.
# 6 AND ISAAC DWELT IN GERAR:
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 11 AND ABIMELECH CHARGED ALL HIS PEOPLE, SAYING, HE THAT TOUCHETH THIS MAN
 OR HIS WIFE SHALL SURELY BE PUT TO DEATH.
# 12 THEN ISAAC SOWED IN THAT LAND, AND RECEIVED IN THE SAME YEAR AN
 HUNDREDFOLD: AND THE LORD BLESSED HIM.
# 13 AND THE MAN WAXED GREAT, AND WENT FORWARD, AND GREW UNTIL HE BECAME VERY
 GREAT:
# 14 FOR HE HAD POSSESSION OF FLOCKS, AND POSSESSION OF HERDS, AND GREAT
 STORE OF SERVANTS: AND THE PHILISTINES ENVIED HIM.
# 15 FOR ALL THE WELLS WHICH HIS FATHERS SERVANTS HAD DIGGED IN THE DAYS OF
 ABRAHAM HIS FATHER, THE PHILISTINES HAD STOPPED THEM, AND FILLED THEM WITH
 EARTH.
# 16 AND ABIMELECH SAID UNTO ISAAC, GO FROM US; FOR THOU ART MUCH MIGHTIER
 THAN WE.
# 17 AND ISAAC DEPARTED THENCE, AND PITCHED HIS TENT IN THE VALLEY OF GERAR,
 AND DWELT THERE.
# 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.
# 19 AND ISAACS SERVANTS DIGGED IN THE VALLEY, AND FOUND THERE A WELL OF
 SPRINGING WATER.
# 20 AND THE HERDMEN OF GERAR DID STRIVE WITH ISAACS HERDMEN, SAYING, THE
 WATER IS OURS: AND HE CALLED THE NAME OF THE WELL ESEK; BECAUSE THEY STROVE
 WITH HIM.
# 21 AND THEY DIGGED ANOTHER WELL, AND STROVE FOR THAT ALSO: AND HE CALLED
 THE NAME OF IT SITNAH.
# 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.
# 23 AND HE WENT UP FROM THENCE TO BEERSHEBA.
# 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 ABRAHAMS SAKE.
# 25 AND HE BUILDED AN ALTAR THERE, AND CALLED UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD, AND
 PITCHED HIS TENT THERE: AND THERE ISAACS SERVANTS DIGGED A WELL.
# 26 THEN ABIMELECH WENT TO HIM FROM GERAR, AND AHUZZATH ONE OF HIS FRIENDS,
 AND PHICHOL THE CHIEF CAPTAIN OF HIS ARMY.
# 27 AND ISAAC SAID UNTO THEM, WHEREFORE COME YE TO ME, SEEING YE HATE ME,
 AND HAVE SENT ME AWAY FROM YOU?
# 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;
# 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.
# 30 AND HE MADE THEM A FEAST, AND THEY DID EAT AND DRINK.
# 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.
# 32 AND IT CAME TO PASS THE SAME DAY, THAT ISAACS SERVANTS CAME, AND TOLD
 HIM CONCERNING THE WELL WHICH THEY HAD DIGGED, AND SAID UNTO HIM, WE HAVE
 FOUND WATER.
# 33 AND HE CALLED IT SHEBAH: THEREFORE THE NAME OF THE CITY IS BEERSHEBA
 UNTO THIS DAY.
# 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:
# 35 WHICH WERE A GRIEF OF MIND UNTO ISAAC AND TO REBEKAH.
= CHAPTER 27 
# 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.
# 2 AND HE SAID, BEHOLD NOW, I AM OLD, I KNOW NOT THE DAY OF MY DEATH:
# 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;
# 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.
# 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.
# 6 AND REBEKAH SPAKE UNTO JACOB HER SON, SAYING, BEHOLD, I HEARD THY FATHER
 SPEAK UNTO ESAU THY BROTHER, SAYING,
# 7 BRING ME VENISON, AND MAKE ME SAVOURY MEAT, THAT I MAY EAT, AND BLESS
 THEE BEFORE THE LORD BEFORE MY DEATH.
# 8 NOW THEREFORE, MY SON, OBEY MY VOICE ACCORDING TO THAT WHICH I COMMAND
 THEE.
# 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:
# 10 AND THOU SHALT BRING IT TO THY FATHER, THAT HE MAY EAT, AND THAT HE MAY
 BLESS THEE BEFORE HIS DEATH.
# 11 AND JACOB SAID TO REBEKAH HIS MOTHER, BEHOLD, ESAU MY BROTHER IS A HAIRY
 MAN, AND I AM A SMOOTH MAN:
# 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.
# 13 AND HIS MOTHER SAID UNTO HIM, UPON ME BE THY CURSE, MY SON: ONLY OBEY MY
 VOICE, AND GO FETCH ME THEM.
# 14 AND HE WENT, AND FETCHED, AND BROUGHT THEM TO HIS MOTHER: AND HIS MOTHER
 MADE SAVOURY MEAT, SUCH AS HIS FATHER LOVED.
# 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:
# 16 AND SHE PUT THE SKINS OF THE KIDS OF THE GOATS UPON HIS HANDS, AND UPON
 THE SMOOTH OF HIS NECK:
# 17 AND SHE GAVE THE SAVOURY MEAT AND THE BREAD, WHICH SHE HAD PREPARED,
 INTO THE HAND OF HER SON JACOB.
# 18 AND HE CAME UNTO HIS FATHER, AND SAID, MY FATHER: AND HE SAID, HERE AM
 I; WHO ART THOU, MY SON?
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 22 AND JACOB WENT NEAR UNTO ISAAC HIS FATHER; AND HE FELT HIM, AND SAID,
 THE VOICE IS JACOBS VOICE, BUT THE HANDS ARE THE HANDS OF ESAU.
# 23 AND HE DISCERNED HIM NOT, BECAUSE HIS HANDS WERE HAIRY, AS HIS BROTHER
 ESAUS HANDS: SO HE BLESSED HIM.
# 24 AND HE SAID, ART THOU MY VERY SON ESAU? AND HE SAID, I AM.
# 25 AND HE SAID, BRING IT NEAR TO ME, AND I WILL EAT OF MY SONS 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.
# 26 AND HIS FATHER ISAAC SAID UNTO HIM, COME NEAR NOW, AND KISS ME, MY SON.
# 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:
# 28 THEREFORE GOD GIVE THEE OF THE DEW OF HEAVEN, AND THE FATNESS OF THE
 EARTH, AND PLENTY OF CORN AND WINE:
# 29 LET PEOPLE SERVE THEE, AND NATIONS BOW DOWN TO THEE: BE LORD OVER THY
 BRETHREN, AND LET THY MOTHERS SONS BOW DOWN TO THEE: CURSED BE EVERY ONE THAT
 CURSETH THEE, AND BLESSED BE HE THAT BLESSETH THEE.
# 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.
# 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 SONS VENISON, THAT
 THY SOUL MAY BLESS ME.
# 32 AND ISAAC HIS FATHER SAID UNTO HIM, WHO ART THOU? AND HE SAID, I AM THY
 SON, THY FIRSTBORN ESAU.
# 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.
# 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.
# 35 AND HE SAID, THY BROTHER CAME WITH SUBTILTY, AND HATH TAKEN AWAY THY
 BLESSING.
# 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?
# 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?
# 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.
# 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;
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 43 NOW THEREFORE, MY SON, OBEY MY VOICE; ARISE, FLEE THOU TO LABAN MY
 BROTHER TO HARAN;
# 44 AND TARRY WITH HIM A FEW DAYS, UNTIL THY BROTHERS FURY TURN AWAY;
# 45 UNTIL THY BROTHERS 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?
# 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?
= CHAPTER 28 
# 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.
# 2 ARISE, GO TO PADANARAM, TO THE HOUSE OF BETHUEL THY MOTHERS FATHER; AND
 TAKE THEE A WIFE FROM THENCE OF THE DAUGHERS OF LABAN THY MOTHERS BROTHER.
# 3 AND GOD ALMIGHTY BLESS THEE, AND MAKE THEE FRUITFUL, AND MULTIPLY THEE,
 THAT THOU MAYEST BE A MULTITUDE OF PEOPLE;
# 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.
# 5 AND ISAAC SENT AWAY JACOB: AND HE WENT TO PADANARAM UNTO LABAN, SON OF
 BETHUEL THE SYRIAN, THE BROTHER OF REBEKAH, JACOBS AND ESAUS MOTHER.
# 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 DAUGHERS OF CANAAN;
# 7 AND THAT JACOB OBEYED HIS FATHER AND HIS MOTHER, AND WAS GONE TO
 PADANARAM;
# 8 AND ESAU SEEING THAT THE DAUGHTERS OF CANAAN PLEASED NOT ISAAC HIS
 FATHER;
# 9 THEN WENT ESAU UNTO ISHMAEL, AND TOOK UNTO THE WIVES WHICH HE HAD
 MAHALATH THE DAUGHTER OF ISHMAEL ABRAHAMS SON, THE SISTER OF NEBAJOTH, TO BE
 HIS WIFE.
# 10 AND JACOB WENT OUT FROM BEERSHEBA, AND WENT TOWARD HARAN.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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;
# 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.
# 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.
# 16 AND JACOB AWAKED OUT OF HIS SLEEP, AND HE SAID, SURELY THE LORD IS IN
 THIS PLACE; AND I KNEW IT NOT.
# 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.
# 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.
# 19 AND HE CALLED THE NAME OF THAT PLACE BETHEL: BUT THE NAME OF THAT CITY
 WAS CALLED LUZ AT THE FIRST.
# 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,
# 21 SO THAT I COME AGAIN TO MY FATHERS HOUSE IN PEACE; THEN SHALL THE LORD
 BE MY GOD:
# 22 AND THIS STONE, WHICH I HAVE SET FOR A PILLAR, SHALL BE GODS HOUSE: AND
 OF ALL THAT THOU SHALT GIVE ME I WILL SURELY GIVE THE TENTH UNTO THEE.
= CHAPTER 29 
# 1 THEN JACOB WENT ON HIS JOURNEY, AND CAME INTO THE LAND OF THE PEOPLE OF
 THE EAST.
# 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 WELLS MOUTH.
# 3 AND THITHER WERE ALL THE FLOCKS GATHERED: AND THEY ROLLED THE STONE FROM
 THE WELLS MOUTH, AND WATERED THE SHEEP, AND PUT THE STONE AGAIN UPON THE
 WELLS MOUTH IN HIS PLACE.
# 4 AND JACOB SAID UNTO THEM, MY BRETHREN, WHENCE BE YE? AND THEY SAID, OF
 HARAN ARE WE.
# 5 AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, KNOW YE LABAN THE SON OF NAHOR? AND THEY SAID, WE
 KNOW HIM.
# 6 AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, IS HE WELL? AND THEY SAID, HE IS WELL: AND,
 BEHOLD, RACHEL HIS DAUGHTER COMETH WITH THE SHEEP.
# 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.
# 8 AND THEY SAID, WE CANNOT, UNTIL ALL THE FLOCKS BE GATHERED TOGETHER, AND
 TILL THEY ROLL THE STONE FROM THE WELLS MOUTH; THEN WE WATER THE SHEEP.
# 9 AND WHILE HE YET SPAKE WITH THEM, RACHEL CAME WITH HER FATHERS SHEEP; FOR
 SHE KEPT THEM.
# 10 AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN JACOB SAW RACHEL THE DAUGHTER OF LABAN HIS
 MOTHERS BROTHER, AND THE SHEEP OF LABAN HIS MOTHERS BROTHER, THAT JACOB WENT
 NEAR, AND ROLLED THE STONE FROM THE WELLS MOUTH, AND WATERED THE FLOCK OF
 LABAN HIS MOTHERS BROTHER.
# 11 AND JACOB KISSED RACHEL, AND LIFTED UP HIS VOICE, AND WEPT.
# 12 AND JACOB TOLD RACHEL THAT HE WAS HER FATHERS BROTHER, AND THAT HE WAS
 REBEKAHS SON: AND SHE RAN AND TOLD HER FATHER.
# 13 AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN LABAN HEARD THE TIDINGS OF JACOB HIS SISTERS
 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.
# 14 AND LABAN SAID TO HIM, SURELY THOU ART MY BONE AND MY FLESH. AND HE
 ABODE WITH HIM THE SPACE OF A MONTH.
# 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?
# 16 AND LABAN HAD TWO DAUGHTERS: THE NAME OF THE ELDER WAS LEAH, AND THE
 NAME OF THE YOUNGER WAS RACHEL.
# 17 LEAH WAS TENDER EYED; BUT RACHEL WAS BEAUTIFUL AND WELL FAVOURED.
# 18 AND JACOB LOVED RACHEL; AND SAID, I WILL SERVE THEE SEVEN YEARS FOR
 RACHEL THY YOUNGER DAUGHTER.
# 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.
# 20 AND JACOB SERVED SEVEN YEARS FOR RACHEL; AND THEY SEEMED UNTO HIM BUT A
 FEW DAYS, FOR THE LOVE HE HAD TO HER.
# 21 AND JACOB SAID UNTO LABAN, GIVE ME MY WIFE, FOR MY DAYS ARE FULFILLED,
 THAT I MAY GO IN UNTO HER.
# 22 AND LABAN GATHERED TOGETHER ALL THE MEN OF THE PLACE, AND MADE A FEAST.
# 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.
# 24 AND LABAN GAVE UNTO HIS DAUGHTER LEAH ZILPAH HIS MAID FOR AN HANDMAID.
# 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?
# 26 AND LABAN SAID, IT MUST NOT BE SO DONE IN OUR COUNTRY, TO GIVE THE
 YOUNGER BEFORE THE FIRSTBORN.
# 27 FULFIL HER WEEK, AND WE WILL GIVE THEE THIS ALSO FOR THE SERVICE WHICH
 THOU SHALT SERVE WITH ME YET SEVEN OTHER YEARS.
# 28 AND JACOB DID SO, AND FULFILLED HER WEEK: AND HE GAVE HIM RACHEL HIS
 DAUGHTER TO WIFE ALSO.
# 29 AND LABAN GAVE TO RACHEL HIS DAUGHTER BILHAH HIS HANDMAID TO BE HER
 MAID.
# 30 AND HE WENT IN ALSO UNTO RACHEL, AND HE LOVED ALSO RACHEL MORE THAN
 LEAH, AND SERVED WITH HIM YET SEVEN OTHER YEARS.
# 31 AND WHEN THE LORD SAW THAT LEAH WAS HATED, HE OPENED HER WOMB: BUT
 RACHEL WAS BARREN.
# 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.
# 33 AND SHE CONCEIVED AGAIN, AND BARE A SON; AND SAID, BECAUSE THE LORD HATH
 HEARD I WAS HATED, HE HATH THEREFORE GIVEN ME THIS SON ALSO: AND SHE CALLED
 HIS NAME SIMEON.
# 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.
# 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.
= CHAPTER 30 
# 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.
# 2 AND JACOBS ANGER WAS KINDLED AGAINST RACHEL: AND HE SAID, AM I IN GODS
 STEAD, WHO HATH WITHHELD FROM THEE THE FRUIT OF THE WOMB?
# 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.
# 4 AND SHE GAVE HIM BILHAH HER HANDMAID TO WIFE: AND JACOB WENT IN UNTO HER.
# 5 AND BILHAH CONCEIVED, AND BARE JACOB A SON.
# 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.
# 7 AND BILHAH RACHELS MAID CONCEIVED AGAIN, AND BARE JACOB A SECOND SON.
# 8 AND RACHEL SAID, WITH GREAT WRESTLINGS HAVE I WRESTLED WITH MY SISTER,
 AND I HAVE PREVAILED: AND SHE CALLED HIS NAME NAPHTALI.
# 9 WHEN LEAH SAW THAT SHE HAD LEFT BEARING, SHE TOOK ZILPAH HER MAID, AND
 GAVE HER JACOB TO WIFE.
# 10 AND ZILPAH LEAHS MAID BARE JACOB A SON.
# 11 AND LEAH SAID, A TROOP COMETH: AND SHE CALLED HIS NAME GAD.
# 12 AND ZILPAH LEAHS MAID BARE JACOB A SECOND SON.
# 13 AND LEAH SAID, HAPPY AM I, FOR THE DAUGHTERS WILL CALL ME BLESSED: AND
 SHE CALLED HIS NAME ASHER.
# 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 SONS MANDRAKES.
# 15 AND SHE SAID UNTO HER, IS IT A SMALL MATTER THAT THOU HAST TAKEN MY
 HUSBAND? AND WOULDEST THOU TAKE AWAY MY SONS MANDRAKES ALSO? AND RACHEL SAID,
 THEREFORE HE SHALL LIE WITH THEE TO NIGHT FOR THY SONS MANDRAKES.
# 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 SONS MANDRAKES. AND HE LAY WITH HER THAT NIGHT.
# 17 AND GOD HEARKENED UNTO LEAH, AND SHE CONCEIVED, AND BARE JACOB THE FIFTH
 SON.
# 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.
# 19 AND LEAH CONCEIVED AGAIN, AND BARE JACOB THE SIXTH SON.
# 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.
# 21 AND AFTERWARDS SHE BARE A DAUGHTER, AND CALLED HER NAME DINAH.
# 22 AND GOD REMEMBERED RACHEL, AND GOD HEARKENED TO HER, AND OPENED HER
 WOMB.
# 23 AND SHE CONCEIVED, AND BARE A SON; AND SAID, GOD HATH TAKEN AWAY MY
 REPROACH:
# 24 AND SHE CALLED HIS NAME JOSEPH; AND SAID, THE LORD SHALL ADD TO ME
 ANOTHER SON.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 28 AND HE SAID, APPOINT ME THY WAGES, AND I WILL GIVE IT.
# 29 AND HE SAID UNTO HIM, THOU KNOWEST HOW I HAVE SERVED THEE, AND HOW THY
 CATTLE WAS WITH ME.
# 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?
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 34 AND LABAN SAID, BEHOLD, I WOULD IT MIGHT BE ACCORDING TO THY WORD.
# 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.
# 36 AND HE SET THREE DAYS JOURNEY BETWIXT HIMSELF AND JACOB: AND JACOB FED
 THE REST OF LABANS FLOCKS.
# 37 AND JACOB TOOK HIM RODS OF GREEN POPLAR, AND OF THE HAZEL AND CHESNUT
 TREE; AND PILLED WHITE STRAKES IN THEM, AND MADE THE WHITE APPEAR WHICH WAS
 IN THE RODS.
# 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.
# 39 AND THE FLOCKS CONCEIVED BEFORE THE RODS, AND BROUGHT FORTH CATTLE
 RINGSTRAKED, SPECKLED, AND SPOTTED.
# 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 LABANS CATTLE.
# 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.
# 42 BUT WHEN THE CATTLE WERE FEEBLE, HE PUT THEM NOT IN: SO THE FEEBLER WERE
 LABANS, AND THE STRONGER JACOBS.
# 43 AND THE MAN INCREASED EXCEEDINGLY, AND HAD MUCH CATTLE, AND
 MAIDSERVANTS, AND MENSERVANTS, AND CAMELS, AND ASSES.
= CHAPTER 31 
# 1 AND HE HEARD THE WORDS OF LABANS SONS, SAYING, JACOB HATH TAKEN AWAY ALL
 THAT WAS OUR FATHERS; AND OF THAT WHICH WAS OUR FATHERS HATH HE GOTTEN ALL
 THIS GLORY.
# 2 AND JACOB BEHELD THE COUNTENANCE OF LABAN, AND, BEHOLD, IT WAS NOT TOWARD
 HIM AS BEFORE.
# 3 AND THE LORD SAID UNTO JACOB, RETURN UNTO THE LAND OF THY FATHERS, AND TO
 THY KINDRED; AND I WILL BE WITH THEE.
# 4 AND JACOB SENT AND CALLED RACHEL AND LEAH TO THE FIELD UNTO HIS FLOCK,
# 5 AND SAID UNTO THEM, I SEE YOUR FATHERS COUNTENANCE, THAT IT IS NOT TOWARD
 ME AS BEFORE; BUT THE GOD OF MY FATHER HATH BEEN WITH ME.
# 6 AND YE KNOW THAT WITH ALL MY POWER I HAVE SERVED YOUR FATHER.
# 7 AND YOUR FATHER HATH DECEIVED ME, AND CHANGED MY WAGES TEN TIMES; BUT GOD
 SUFFERED HIM NOT TO HURT ME.
# 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.
# 9 THUS GOD HATH TAKEN AWAY THE CATTLE OF YOUR FATHER, AND GIVEN THEM TO ME.
# 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.
# 11 AND THE ANGEL OF GOD SPAKE UNTO ME IN A DREAM, SAYING, JACOB: AND I
 SAID, HERE AM I.
# 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.
# 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.
# 14 AND RACHEL AND LEAH ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO HIM, IS THERE YET ANY PORTION
 OR INHERITANCE FOR US IN OUR FATHERS HOUSE?
# 15 ARE WE NOT COUNTED OF HIM STRANGERS? FOR HE HATH SOLD US, AND HATH QUITE
 DEVOURED ALSO OUR MONEY.
# 16 FOR ALL THE RICHES WHICH GOD HATH TAKEN FROM OUR FATHER, THAT IS OURS,
 AND OUR CHILDRENS: NOW THEN, WHATSOEVER GOD HATH SAID UNTO THEE, DO.
# 17 THEN JACOB ROSE UP, AND SET HIS SONS AND HIS WIVES UPON CAMELS;
# 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.
# 19 AND LABAN WENT TO SHEAR HIS SHEEP: AND RACHEL HAD STOLEN THE IMAGES THAT
 WERE HER FATHERS.
# 20 AND JACOB STOLE AWAY UNAWARES TO LABAN THE SYRIAN, IN THAT HE TOLD HIM
 NOT THAT HE FLED.
# 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.
# 22 AND IT WAS TOLD LABAN ON THE THIRD DAY THAT JACOB WAS FLED.
# 23 AND HE TOOK HIS BRETHREN WITH HIM, AND PURSUED AFTER HIM SEVEN DAYS
 JOURNEY; AND THEY OVERTOOK HIM IN THE MOUNT GILEAD.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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?
# 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?
# 28 AND HAST NOT SUFFERED ME TO KISS MY SONS AND MY DAUGHTERS? THOU HAST NOW
 DONE FOOLISHLY IN SO DOING.
# 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.
# 30 AND NOW, THOUGH THOU WOULDEST NEEDS BE GONE, BECAUSE THOU SORE LONGEDST
 AFTER THY FATHERS HOUSE, YET WHEREFORE HAST THOU STOLEN MY GODS?
# 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.
# 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.
# 33 AND LABAN WENT INTO JACOBS TENT, AND INTO LEAHS TENT, AND INTO THE TWO
 MAIDSERVANTS TENTS; BUT HE FOUND THEM NOT. THEN WENT HE OUT OF LEAHS TENT,
 AND ENTERED INTO RACHELS TENT.
# 34 NOW RACHEL HAD TAKEN THE IMAGES, AND PUT THEM IN THE CAMELS FURNITURE,
 AND SAT UPON THEM. AND LABAN SEARCHED ALL THE TENT, BUT FOUND THEM NOT.
# 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.
# 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?
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 40 THUS I WAS; IN THE DAY THE DROUGHT CONSUMED ME, AND THE FROST BY NIGHT;
 AND MY SLEEP DEPARTED FROM MINE EYES.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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?
# 44 NOW THEREFORE COME THOU, LET US MAKE A COVENANT, I AND THOU; AND LET IT
 BE FOR A WITNESS BETWEEN ME AND THEE.
# 45 AND JACOB TOOK A STONE, AND SET IT UP FOR A PILLAR.
# 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.
# 47 AND LABAN CALLED IT JEGARSAHADUTHA: BUT JACOB CALLED IT GALEED.
# 48 AND LABAN SAID, THIS HEAP IS A WITNESS BETWEEN ME AND THEE THIS DAY.
 THEREFORE WAS THE NAME OF IT CALLED GALEED;
# 49 AND MIZPAH; FOR HE SAID, THE LORD WATCH BETWEEN ME AND THEE, WHEN WE ARE
 ABSENT ONE FROM ANOTHER.
# 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.
# 51 AND LABAN SAID TO JACOB, BEHOLD THIS HEAP, AND BEHOLD THIS PILLAR, WHICH
 I HAVE CAST BETWIXT ME AND THEE:
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
= CHAPTER 32 
# 1 AND JACOB WENT ON HIS WAY, AND THE ANGELS OF GOD MET HIM.
# 2 AND WHEN JACOB SAW THEM, HE SAID, THIS IS GODS HOST: AND HE CALLED THE
 NAME OF THAT PLACE MAHANAIM.
# 3 AND JACOB SENT MESSENGERS BEFORE HIM TO ESAU HIS BROTHER UNTO THE LAND OF
 SEIR, THE COUNTRY OF EDOM.
# 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:
# 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.
# 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.
# 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;
# 8 AND SAID, IF ESAU COME TO THE ONE COMPANY, AND SMITE IT, THEN THE OTHER
 COMPANY WHICH IS LEFT SHALL ESCAPE.
# 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:
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 13 AND HE LODGED THERE THAT SAME NIGHT; AND TOOK OF THAT WHICH CAME TO HIS
 HAND A PRESENT FOR ESAU HIS BROTHER;
# 14 TWO HUNDRED SHE GOATS, AND TWENTY HE GOATS, TWO HUNDRED EWES, AND TWENTY
 RAMS,
# 15 THIRTY MILCH CAMELS WITH THEIR COLTS, FORTY KINE, AND TEN BULLS, TWENTY
 SHE ASSES, AND TEN FOALS.
# 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.
# 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?
# 18 THEN THOU SHALT SAY, THEY BE THY SERVANT JACOBS; IT IS A PRESENT SENT
 UNTO MY LORD ESAU: AND, BEHOLD, ALSO HE IS BEHIND US.
# 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.
# 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.
# 21 SO WENT THE PRESENT OVER BEFORE HIM: AND HIMSELF LODGED THAT NIGHT IN
 THE COMPANY.
# 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.
# 23 AND HE TOOK THEM, AND SENT THEM OVER THE BROOK, AND SENT OVER THAT HE
 HAD.
# 24 AND JACOB WAS LEFT ALONE; AND THERE WRESTLED A MAN WITH HIM UNTIL THE
 BREAKING OF THE DAY.
# 25 AND WHEN HE SAW THAT HE PREVAILED NOT AGAINST HIM, HE TOUCHED THE HOLLOW
 OF HIS THIGH; AND THE HOLLOW OF JACOBS THIGH WAS OUT OF JOINT, AS HE WRESTLED
 WITH HIM.
# 26 AND HE SAID, LET ME GO, FOR THE DAY BREAKETH. AND HE SAID, I WILL NOT
 LET THEE GO, EXCEPT THOU BLESS ME.
# 27 AND HE SAID UNTO HIM, WHAT IS THY NAME? AND HE SAID, JACOB.
# 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.
# 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.
# 30 AND JACOB CALLED THE NAME OF THE PLACE PENIEL: FOR I HAVE SEEN GOD FACE
 TO FACE, AND MY LIFE IS PRESERVED.
# 31 AND AS HE PASSED OVER PENUEL THE SUN ROSE UPON HIM, AND HE HALTED UPON
 HIS THIGH.
# 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 JACOBS THIGH IN THE SINEW THAT SHRANK.
= CHAPTER 33 
# 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.
# 2 AND HE PUT THE HANDMAIDS AND THEIR CHILDREN FOREMOST, AND LEAH AND HER
 CHILDREN AFTER, AND RACHEL AND JOSEPH HINDERMOST.
# 3 AND HE PASSED OVER BEFORE THEM, AND BOWED HIMSELF TO THE GROUND SEVEN
 TIMES, UNTIL HE CAME NEAR TO HIS BROTHER.
# 4 AND ESAU RAN TO MEET HIM, AND EMBRACED HIM, AND FELL ON HIS NECK, AND
 KISSED HIM: AND THEY WEPT.
# 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.
# 6 THEN THE HANDMAIDENS CAME NEAR, THEY AND THEIR CHILDREN, AND THEY BOWED
 THEMSELVES.
# 7 AND LEAH ALSO WITH HER CHILDREN CAME NEAR, AND BOWED THEMSELVES: AND
 AFTER CAME JOSEPH NEAR AND RACHEL, AND THEY BOWED THEMSELVES.
# 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.
# 9 AND ESAU SAID, I HAVE ENOUGH, MY BROTHER; KEEP THAT THOU HAST UNTO
 THYSELF.
# 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.
# 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.
# 12 AND HE SAID, LET US TAKE OUR JOURNEY, AND LET US GO, AND I WILL GO
 BEFORE THEE.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 16 SO ESAU RETURNED THAT DAY ON HIS WAY UNTO SEIR.
# 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.
# 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.
# 19 AND HE BOUGHT A PARCEL OF A FIELD, WHERE HE HAD SPREAD HIS TENT, AT THE
 HAND OF THE CHILDREN OF HAMOR, SHECHEMS FATHER, FOR AN HUNDRED PIECES OF
 MONEY.
# 20 AND HE ERECTED THERE AN ALTAR, AND CALLED IT ELELOHEISRAEL.
= CHAPTER 34 
# 1 AND DINAH THE DAUGHTER OF LEAH, WHICH SHE BARE UNTO JACOB, WENT OUT TO SEE
 THE DAUGHTERS OF THE LAND.
# 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.
# 3 AND HIS SOUL CLAVE UNTO DINAH THE DAUGHTER OF JACOB, AND HE LOVED THE
 DAMSEL, AND SPAKE KINDLY UNTO THE DAMSEL.
# 4 AND SHECHEM SPAKE UNTO HIS FATHER HAMOR, SAYING, GET ME THIS DAMSEL TO
 WIFE.
# 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.
# 6 AND HAMOR THE FATHER OF SHECHEM WENT OUT UNTO JACOB TO COMMUNE WITH HIM.
# 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 JACOBS DAUGHTER: WHICH THING OUGHT NOT TO BE DONE.
# 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.
# 9 AND MAKE YE MARRIAGES WITH US, AND GIVE YOUR DAUGHTERS UNTO US, AND TAKE
 OUR DAUGHTERS UNTO YOU.
# 10 AND YE SHALL DWELL WITH US: AND THE LAND SHALL BE BEFORE YOU; DWELL AND
 TRADE YE THEREIN, AND GET YOU POSSESSIONS THEREIN.
# 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.
# 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.
# 13 AND THE SONS OF JACOB ANSWERED SHECHEM AND HAMOR HIS FATHER DECEITFULLY,
 AND SAID, BECAUSE HE HAD DEFILED DINAH THEIR SISTER:
# 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:
# 15 BUT IN THIS WILL WE CONSENT UNTO YOU: IF YE WILL BE AS WE BE, THAT EVERY
 MALE OF YOU BE CIRCUMCISED;
# 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.
# 17 BUT IF YE WILL NOT HEARKEN UNTO US, TO BE CIRCUMCISED; THEN WILL WE TAKE
 OUR DAUGHTER, AND WE WILL BE GONE.
# 18 AND THEIR WORDS PLEASED HAMOR, AND SHECHEM HAMORS SON.
# 19 AND THE YOUNG MAN DEFERRED NOT TO DO THE THING, BECAUSE HE HAD DELIGHT
 IN JACOBS DAUGHTER: AND HE WAS MORE HONOURABLE THAN ALL THE HOUSE OF HIS
 FATHER.
# 20 AND HAMOR AND SHECHEM HIS SON CAME UNTO THE GATE OF THEIR CITY, AND
 COMMUNED WITH THE MEN OF THEIR CITY, SAYING,
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 25 AND IT CAME TO PASS ON THE THIRD DAY, WHEN THEY WERE SORE, THAT TWO OF
 THE SONS OF JACOB, SIMEON AND LEVI, DINAHS BRETHREN, TOOK EACH MAN HIS SWORD,
 AND CAME UPON THE CITY BOLDLY, AND SLEW ALL THE MALES.
# 26 AND THEY SLEW HAMOR AND SHECHEM HIS SON WITH THE EDGE OF THE SWORD, AND
 TOOK DINAH OUT OF SHECHEMS HOUSE, AND WENT OUT.
# 27 THE SONS OF JACOB CAME UPON THE SLAIN, AND SPOILED THE CITY, BECAUSE
 THEY HAD DEFILED THEIR SISTER.
# 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,
# 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.
# 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.
# 31 AND THEY SAID, SHOULD HE DEAL WITH OUR SISTER AS WITH AN HARLOT?
= CHAPTER 35 
# 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.
# 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:
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 8 BUT DEBORAH REBEKAHS NURSE DIED, AND SHE WAS BURIED BENEATH BETHEL UNDER
 AN OAK: AND THE NAME OF IT WAS CALLED ALLONBACHUTH.
# 9 AND GOD APPEARED UNTO JACOB AGAIN, WHEN HE CAME OUT OF PADANARAM, AND
 BLESSED HIM.
# 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.
# 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; IT
# 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.
# 13 AND GOD WENT UP FROM HIM IN THE PLACE WHERE HE TALKED WITH HIM.
# 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.
# 15 AND JACOB CALLED THE NAME OF THE PLACE WHERE GOD SPAKE WITH HIM, BETHEL.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 19 AND RACHEL DIED, AND WAS BURIED IN THE WAY TO EPHRATH, WHICH IS
 BETHLEHEM.
# 20 AND JACOB SET A PILLAR UPON HER GRAVE: THAT IS THE PILLAR OF RACHELS
 GRAVE UNTO THIS DAY.
# 21 AND ISRAEL JOURNEYED, AND SPREAD HIS TENT BEYOND THE TOWER OF EDAR.
# 22 AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN ISRAEL DWELT IN THAT LAND, THAT REUBEN WENT
 AND LAY WITH BILHAH HIS FATHERS CONCUBINE: AND ISRAEL HEARD IT. NOW THE SONS
 OF JACOB WERE TWELVE:
# 23 THE SONS OF LEAH; REUBEN, JACOBS FIRSTBORN, AND SIMEON, AND LEVI, AND
 JUDAH, AND ISSACHAR, AND ZEBULUN:
# 24 THE SONS OF RACHEL; JOSEPH, AND BENJAMIN:
# 25 AND THE SONS OF BILHAH, RACHELS HANDMAID; DAN, AND NAPHTALI:
# 26 AND THE SONS OF ZILPAH, LEAHS HANDMAID: GAD, AND ASHER: THESE ARE THE
 SONS OF JACOB, WHICH WERE BORN TO HIM IN PADANARAM.
# 27 AND JACOB CAME UNTO ISAAC HIS FATHER UNTO MAMRE, UNTO THE CITY OF ARBAH,
 WHICH IS HEBRON, WHERE ABRAHAM AND ISAAC SOJOURNED.
# 28 AND THE DAYS OF ISAAC WERE AN HUNDRED AND FOURSCORE YEARS.
# 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.
= CHAPTER 36

# 2 ESAU TOOK HIS WIVES OF THE DAUGHTERS OF CANAAN; ADAH THE DAUGHTER OF ELON

 SUBSTANCE, WHICH HE HAD GOT IN THE LAND OF CANAAN; AND WENT INTO THE COUNTRY
 FROM THE FACE OF HIS BROTHER JACOB.
# 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.

= CHAPTER 37 
# 1 AND JACOB DWELT IN THE LAND WHEREIN HIS FATHER WAS A STRANGER, IN THE LAND
 OF CANAAN.
# 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 FATHERS WIVES: AND JOSEPH BROUGHT
 UNTO HIS FATHER THEIR EVIL REPORT.
# 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.
# 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.
# 5 AND JOSEPH DREAMED A DREAM, AND HE TOLD IT HIS BRETHREN: AND THEY HATED
 HIM YET THE MORE.
# 6 AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, HEAR, I PRAY YOU, THIS DREAM WHICH I HAVE DREAMED:
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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?
# 11 AND HIS BRETHREN ENVIED HIM; BUT HIS FATHER OBSERVED THE SAYING.
# 12 AND HIS BRETHREN WENT TO FEED THEIR FATHERS FLOCK IN SHECHEM.
# 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.
# 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.
# 15 AND A CERTAIN MAN FOUND HIM, AND, BEHOLD, HE WAS WANDERING IN THE FIELD:
 AND THE MAN ASKED HIM, SAYING, WHAT SEEKEST THOU?
# 16 AND HE SAID, I SEEK MY BRETHREN: TELL ME, I PRAY THEE, WHERE THEY FEED
 THEIR FLOCKS.
# 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.
# 18 AND WHEN THEY SAW HIM AFAR OFF, EVEN BEFORE HE CAME NEAR UNTO THEM, THEY
 CONSPIRED AGAINST HIM TO SLAY HIM.
# 19 AND THEY SAID ONE TO ANOTHER, BEHOLD, THIS DREAMER COMETH.
# 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.
# 21 AND REUBEN HEARD IT, AND HE DELIVERED HIM OUT OF THEIR HANDS; AND SAID,
 LET US NOT KILL HIM.
# 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.
# 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;
# 24 AND THEY TOOK HIM, AND CAST HIM INTO A PIT: AND THE PIT WAS EMPTY, THERE
 WAS NO WATER IN IT.
# 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.
# 26 AND JUDAH SAID UNTO HIS BRETHREN, WHAT PROFIT IS IT IF WE SLAY OUR
 BROTHER, AND CONCEAL HIS BLOOD?
# 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.
# 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.
# 29 AND REUBEN RETURNED UNTO THE PIT; AND, BEHOLD, JOSEPH WAS NOT IN THE
 PIT; AND HE RENT HIS CLOTHES.
# 30 AND HE RETURNED UNTO HIS BRETHREN, AND SAID, THE CHILD IS NOT; AND I,
 WHITHER SHALL I GO?
# 31 AND THEY TOOK JOSEPHS COAT, AND KILLED A KID OF THE GOATS, AND DIPPED
 THE COAT IN THE BLOOD;
# 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 SONS COAT OR
 NO.
# 33 AND HE KNEW IT, AND SAID, IT IS MY SONS COAT; AN EVIL BEAST HATH
 DEVOURED HIM; JOSEPH IS WITHOUT DOUBT RENT IN PIECES.
# 34 AND JACOB RENT HIS CLOTHES, AND PUT SACKCLOTH UPON HIS LOINS, AND
 MOURNED FOR HIS SON MANY DAYS.
# 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.
# 36 AND THE MIDIANITES SOLD HIM INTO EGYPT UNTO POTIPHAR, AN OFFICER OF
 PHARAOHS, AND CAPTAIN OF THE GUARD.
= CHAPTER 38 
# 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.
# 2 AND JUDAH SAW THERE A DAUGHTER OF A CERTAIN CANAANITE, WHOSE NAME WAS
 SHUAH; AND HE TOOK HER, AND WENT IN UNTO HER.
# 3 AND SHE CONCEIVED, AND BARE A SON; AND HE CALLED HIS NAME ER.
# 4 AND SHE CONCEIVED AGAIN, AND BARE A SON; AND SHE CALLED HIS NAME ONAN.
# 5 AND SHE YET AGAIN CONCEIVED, AND BARE A SON; AND CALLED HIS NAME SHELAH:
 AND HE WAS AT CHEZIB, WHEN SHE BARE HIM.
# 6 AND JUDAH TOOK A WIFE FOR ER HIS FIRSTBORN, WHOSE NAME WAS TAMAR.
# 7 AND ER, JUDAHS FIRSTBORN, WAS WICKED IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD; AND THE
 LORD SLEW HIM.
# 8 AND JUDAH SAID UNTO ONAN, GO IN UNTO THY BROTHERS WIFE, AND MARRY HER,
 AND RAISE UP SEED TO THY BROTHER.
# 9 AND ONAN KNEW THAT THE SEED SHOULD NOT BE HIS; AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN
 HE WENT IN UNTO HIS BROTHERS WIFE, THAT HE SPILLED IT ON THE GROUND, LEST
 THAT HE SHOULD GIVE SEED TO HIS BROTHER.
# 10 AND THE THING WHICH HE DID DISPLEASED THE LORD: WHEREFORE HE SLEW HIM
 ALSO.
# 11 THEN SAID JUDAH TO TAMAR HIS DAUGHTER IN LAW, REMAIN A WIDOW AT THY
 FATHERS 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 FATHERS HOUSE.
# 12 AND IN PROCESS OF TIME THE DAUGHTER OF SHUAH JUDAHS WIFE DIED; AND JUDAH
 WAS COMFORTED, AND WENT UP UNTO HIS SHEEPSHEARERS TO TIMNATH, HE AND HIS
 FRIEND HIRAH THE ADULLAMITE.
# 13 AND IT WAS TOLD TAMAR, SAYING, BEHOLD THY FATHER IN LAW GOETH UP TO
 TIMNATH TO SHEAR HIS SHEEP.
# 14 AND SHE PUT HER WIDOWS 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.
# 15 WHEN JUDAH SAW HER, HE THOUGHT HER TO BE AN HARLOT; BECAUSE SHE HAD
 COVERED HER FACE.
# 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?
# 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?
# 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.
# 19 AND SHE AROSE, AND WENT AWAY, AND LAID BY HER VAIL FROM HER, AND PUT ON
 THE GARMENTS OF HER WIDOWHOOD.
# 20 AND JUDAH SENT THE KID BY THE HAND OF HIS FRIEND THE ADULLAMITE, TO
 RECEIVE HIS PLEDGE FROM THE WOMANS HAND: BUT HE FOUND HER NOT.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 27 AND IT CAME TO PASS IN THE TIME OF HER TRAVAIL, THAT, BEHOLD, TWINS WERE
 IN HER WOMB.
# 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.
# 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.
# 30 AND AFTERWARD CAME OUT HIS BROTHER, THAT HAD THE SCARLET THREAD UPON HIS
 HAND: AND HIS NAME WAS CALLED ZARAH.
= CHAPTER 39 
# 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.
# 2 AND THE LORD WAS WITH JOSEPH, AND HE WAS A PROSPEROUS MAN; AND HE WAS IN
 THE HOUSE OF HIS MASTER THE EGYPTIAN.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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 EGYPTIANS HOUSE
 FOR JOSEPHS SAKE; AND THE BLESSING OF THE LORD WAS UPON ALL THAT HE HAD IN
 THE HOUSE, AND IN THE FIELD.
# 6 AND HE LEFT ALL THAT HE HAD IN JOSEPHS HAND; AND HE KNEW NOT OUGHT HE
 HAD, SAVE THE BREAD WHICH HE DID EAT. AND JOSEPH WAS A GOODLY PERSON, AND
 WELL FAVOURED.
# 7 AND IT CAME TO PASS AFTER THESE THINGS, THAT HIS MASTERS WIFE CAST HER
 EYES UPON JOSEPH; AND SHE SAID, LIE WITH ME.
# 8 BUT HE REFUSED, AND SAID UNTO HIS MASTERS WIFE, BEHOLD, MY MASTER WOTTETH
 NOT WHAT IS WITH ME IN THE HOUSE, AND HE HATH COMMITTED ALL THAT HE HATH TO
 MY HAND;
# 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?
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 13 AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN SHE SAW THAT HE HAD LEFT HIS GARMENT IN HER
 HAND, AND WAS FLED FORTH,
# 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:
# 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.
# 16 AND SHE LAID UP HIS GARMENT BY HER, UNTIL HIS LORD CAME HOME.
# 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:
# 18 AND IT CAME TO PASS, AS I LIFTED UP MY VOICE AND CRIED, THAT HE LEFT HIS
 GARMENT WITH ME, AND FLED OUT.
# 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.
# 20 AND JOSEPHS MASTER TOOK HIM, AND PUT HIM INTO THE PRISON, A PLACE WHERE
 THE KINGS PRISONERS WERE BOUND: AND HE WAS THERE IN THE PRISON.
# 21 BUT THE LORD WAS WITH JOSEPH, AND SHEWED HIM MERCY, AND GAVE HIM FAVOUR
 IN THE SIGHT OF THE KEEPER OF THE PRISON.
# 22 AND THE KEEPER OF THE PRISON COMMITTED TO JOSEPHS HAND ALL THE PRISONERS
 THAT WERE IN THE PRISON; AND WHATSOEVER THEY DID THERE, HE WAS THE DOER OF
 IT.
# 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.
= CHAPTER 40 
# 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.
# 2 AND PHARAOH WAS WROTH AGAINST TWO OF HIS OFFICERS, AGAINST THE CHIEF OF
 THE BUTLERS, AND AGAINST THE CHIEF OF THE BAKERS.
# 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.
# 4 AND THE CAPTAIN OF THE GUARD CHARGED JOSEPH WITH THEM, AND HE SERVED
 THEM: AND THEY CONTINUED A SEASON IN WARD.
# 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.
# 6 AND JOSEPH CAME IN UNTO THEM IN THE MORNING, AND LOOKED UPON THEM, AND,
 BEHOLD, THEY WERE SAD.
# 7 AND HE ASKED PHARAOHS OFFICERS THAT WERE WITH HIM IN THE WARD OF HIS
 LORDS HOUSE, SAYING, WHEREFORE LOOK YE SO SADLY TO DAY?
# 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.
# 9 AND THE CHIEF BUTLER TOLD HIS DREAM TO JOSEPH, AND SAID TO HIM, IN MY
 DREAM, BEHOLD, A VINE WAS BEFORE ME;
# 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:
# 11 AND PHARAOHS CUP WAS IN MY HAND: AND I TOOK THE GRAPES, AND PRESSED THEM
 INTO PHARAOHS CUP, AND I GAVE THE CUP INTO PHARAOHS HAND.
# 12 AND JOSEPH SAID UNTO HIM, THIS IS THE INTERPRETATION OF IT: THE THREE
 BRANCHES ARE THREE DAYS:
# 13 YET WITHIN THREE DAYS SHALL PHARAOH LIFT UP THINE HEAD, AND RESTORE THEE
 UNTO THY PLACE: AND THOU SHALT DELIVER PHARAOHS CUP INTO HIS HAND, AFTER THE
 FORMER MANNER WHEN THOU WAST HIS BUTLER.
# 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:
# 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.
# 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:
# 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.
# 18 AND JOSEPH ANSWERED AND SAID, THIS IS THE INTERPRETATION THEREOF: THE
 THREE BASKETS ARE THREE DAYS:
# 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.
# 20 AND IT CAME TO PASS THE THIRD DAY, WHICH WAS PHARAOHS 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.
# 21 AND HE RESTORED THE CHIEF BUTLER UNTO HIS BUTLERSHIP AGAIN; AND HE GAVE
 THE CUP INTO PHARAOHS HAND:
# 22 BUT HE HANGED THE CHIEF BAKER: AS JOSEPH HAD INTERPRETED TO THEM.
# 23 YET DID NOT THE CHIEF BUTLER REMEMBER JOSEPH, BUT FORGAT HIM.
= CHAPTER 41 
# 1 AND IT CAME TO PASS AT THE END OF TWO FULL YEARS, THAT PHARAOH DREAMED:
 AND, BEHOLD, HE STOOD BY THE RIVER.
# 2 AND, BEHOLD, THERE CAME UP OUT OF THE RIVER SEVEN WELL FAVOURED KINE AND
 FATFLESHED; AND THEY FED IN A MEADOW.
# 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.
# 4 AND THE ILL FAVOURED AND LEANFLESHED KINE DID EAT UP THE SEVEN WELL
 FAVOURED AND FAT KINE. SO PHARAOH AWOKE.
# 5 AND HE SLEPT AND DREAMED THE SECOND TIME: AND, BEHOLD, SEVEN EARS OF CORN
 CAME UP UPON ONE STALK, RANK AND GOOD.
# 6 AND, BEHOLD, SEVEN THIN EARS AND BLASTED WITH THE EAST WIND SPRUNG UP
 AFTER THEM.
# 7 AND THE SEVEN THIN EARS DEVOURED THE SEVEN RANK AND FULL EARS. AND
 PHARAOH AWOKE, AND, BEHOLD, IT WAS A DREAM.
# 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.
# 9 THEN SPAKE THE CHIEF BUTLER UNTO PHARAOH, SAYING, I DO REMEMBER MY FAULTS
 THIS DAY:
# 10 PHARAOH WAS WROTH WITH HIS SERVANTS, AND PUT ME IN WARD IN THE CAPTAIN
 OF THE GUARDS HOUSE, BOTH ME AND THE CHIEF BAKER:
# 11 AND WE DREAMED A DREAM IN ONE NIGHT, I AND HE; WE DREAMED EACH MAN
 ACCORDING TO THE INTERPRETATION OF HIS DREAM.
# 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.
# 13 AND IT CAME TO PASS, AS HE INTERPRETED TO US, SO IT WAS; ME HE RESTORED
 UNTO MINE OFFICE, AND HIM HE HANGED.
# 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.
# 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.
# 16 AND JOSEPH ANSWERED PHARAOH, SAYING, IT IS NOT IN ME: GOD SHALL GIVE
 PHARAOH AN ANSWER OF PEACE.
# 17 AND PHARAOH SAID UNTO JOSEPH, IN MY DREAM, BEHOLD, I STOOD UPON THE BANK
 OF THE RIVER:
# 18 AND, BEHOLD, THERE CAME UP OUT OF THE RIVER SEVEN KINE, FATFLESHED AND
 WELL FAVOURED; AND THEY FED IN A MEADOW:
# 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:
# 20 AND THE LEAN AND THE ILL FAVOURED KINE DID EAT UP THE FIRST SEVEN FAT
 KINE:
# 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.
# 22 AND I SAW IN MY DREAM, AND, BEHOLD, SEVEN EARS CAME UP IN ONE STALK,
 FULL AND GOOD:
# 23 AND, BEHOLD, SEVEN EARS, WITHERED, THIN, AND BLASTED WITH THE EAST WIND,
 SPRUNG UP AFTER THEM:
# 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.
# 25 AND JOSEPH SAID UNTO PHARAOH, THE DREAM OF PHARAOH IS ONE: GOD HATH
 SHEWED PHARAOH WHAT HE IS ABOUT TO DO.
# 26 THE SEVEN GOOD KINE ARE SEVEN YEARS; AND THE SEVEN GOOD EARS ARE SEVEN
 YEARS: THE DREAM IS ONE.
# 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.
# 28 THIS IS THE THING WHICH I HAVE SPOKEN UNTO PHARAOH: WHAT GOD IS ABOUT TO
 DO HE SHEWETH UNTO PHARAOH.
# 29 BEHOLD, THERE COME SEVEN YEARS OF GREAT PLENTY THROUGHOUT ALL THE LAND
 OF EGYPT:
# 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;
# 31 AND THE PLENTY SHALL NOT BE KNOWN IN THE LAND BY REASON OF THAT FAMINE
 FOLLOWING; FOR IT SHALL BE VERY GRIEVOUS.
# 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.
# 33 NOW THEREFORE LET PHARAOH LOOK OUT A MAN DISCREET AND WISE, AND SET HIM
 OVER THE LAND OF EGYPT.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 37 AND THE THING WAS GOOD IN THE EYES OF PHARAOH, AND IN THE EYES OF ALL
 HIS SERVANTS.
# 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?
# 39 AND PHARAOH SAID UNTO JOSEPH, FORASMUCH AS GOD HATH SHEWED THEE ALL
 THIS, THERE IS NONE SO DISCREET AND WISE AS THOU ART:
# 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.
# 41 AND PHARAOH SAID UNTO JOSEPH, SEE, I HAVE SET THEE OVER ALL THE LAND OF
 EGYPT.
# 42 AND PHARAOH TOOK OFF HIS RING FROM HIS HAND, AND PUT IT UPON JOSEPHS
 HAND, AND ARRAYED HIM IN VESTURES OF FINE LINEN, AND PUT A GOLD CHAIN ABOUT
 HIS NECK;
# 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.
# 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.
# 45 AND PHARAOH CALLED JOSEPHS 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.
# 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.
# 47 AND IN THE SEVEN PLENTEOUS YEARS THE EARTH BROUGHT FORTH BY HANDFULS.
# 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.
# 49 AND JOSEPH GATHERED CORN AS THE SAND OF THE SEA, VERY MUCH, UNTIL HE
 LEFT NUMBERING; FOR IT WAS WITHOUT NUMBER.
# 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.
# 51 AND JOSEPH CALLED THE NAME OF THE FIRSTBORN MANASSEH: FOR GOD, SAID HE,
 HATH MADE ME FORGET ALL MY TOIL, AND ALL MY FATHERS HOUSE.
# 52 AND THE NAME OF THE SECOND CALLED HE EPHRAIM: FOR GOD HATH CAUSED ME TO
 BE FRUITFUL IN THE LAND OF MY AFFLICTION.
# 53 AND THE SEVEN YEARS OF PLENTEOUSNESS, THAT WAS IN THE LAND OF EGYPT,
 WERE ENDED.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 57 AND ALL COUNTRIES CAME INTO EGYPT TO JOSEPH FOR TO BUY CORN; BECAUSE
 THAT THE FAMINE WAS SO SORE IN ALL LANDS.
= CHAPTER 42 
# 1 NOW WHEN JACOB SAW THAT THERE WAS CORN IN EGYPT, JACOB SAID UNTO HIS SONS,
 WHY DO YE LOOK ONE UPON ANOTHER?
# 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.
# 3 AND JOSEPHS TEN BRETHREN WENT DOWN TO BUY CORN IN EGYPT.
# 4 BUT BENJAMIN, JOSEPHS BROTHER, JACOB SENT NOT WITH HIS BRETHREN; FOR HE
 SAID, LEST PERADVENTURE MISCHIEF BEFALL HIM.
# 5 AND THE SONS OF ISRAEL CAME TO BUY CORN AMONG THOSE THAT CAME: FOR THE
 FAMINE WAS IN THE LAND OF CANAAN.
# 6 AND JOSEPH WAS THE GOVERNOR OVER THE LAND, AND HE IT WAS THAT SOLD TO ALL
 THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND: AND JOSEPHS BRETHREN CAME, AND BOWED DOWN THEMSELVES
 BEFORE HIM WITH THEIR FACES TO THE EARTH.
# 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.
# 8 AND JOSEPH KNEW HIS BRETHREN, BUT THEY KNEW NOT HIM.
# 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.
# 10 AND THEY SAID UNTO HIM, NAY, MY LORD, BUT TO BUY FOOD ARE THY SERVANTS
 COME.
# 11 WE ARE ALL ONE MANS SONS; WE ARE TRUE MEN, THY SERVANTS ARE NO SPIES.
# 12 AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, NAY, BUT TO SEE THE NAKEDNESS OF THE LAND YE ARE
 COME.
# 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.
# 14 AND JOSEPH SAID UNTO THEM, THAT IS IT THAT I SPAKE UNTO YOU, SAYING, YE
 ARE SPIES:
# 15 HEREBY YE SHALL BE PROVED: BY THE LIFE OF PHARAOH YE SHALL NOT GO FORTH
 HENCE, EXCEPT YOUR YOUNGEST BROTHER COME HITHER.
# 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.
# 17 AND HE PUT THEM ALL TOGETHER INTO WARD THREE DAYS.
# 18 AND JOSEPH SAID UNTO THEM THE THIRD DAY, THIS DO, AND LIVE; FOR I FEAR
 GOD:
# 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:
# 20 BUT BRING YOUR YOUNGEST BROTHER UNTO ME; SO SHALL YOUR WORDS BE
 VERIFIED, AND YE SHALL NOT DIE. AND THEY DID SO.
# 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.
# 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.
# 23 AND THEY KNEW NOT THAT JOSEPH UNDERSTOOD THEM; FOR HE SPAKE UNTO THEM BY
 AN INTERPRETER.
# 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.
# 25 THEN JOSEPH COMMANDED TO FILL THEIR SACKS WITH CORN, AND TO RESTORE
 EVERY MANS MONEY INTO HIS SACK, AND TO GIVE THEM PROVISION FOR THE WAY: AND
 THUS DID HE UNTO THEM.
# 26 AND THEY LADED THEIR ASSES WITH THE CORN, AND DEPARTED THENCE.
# 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 SACKS MOUTH.
# 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?
# 29 AND THEY CAME UNTO JACOB THEIR FATHER UNTO THE LAND OF CANAAN, AND TOLD
 HIM ALL THAT BEFELL UNTO THEM; SAYING,
# 30 THE MAN, WHO IS THE LORD OF THE LAND, SPAKE ROUGHLY TO US, AND TOOK US
 FOR SPIES OF THE COUNTRY.
# 31 AND WE SAID UNTO HIM, WE ARE TRUE MEN; WE ARE NO SPIES:
# 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.
# 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:
# 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.
# 35 AND IT CAME TO PASS AS THEY EMPTIED THEIR SACKS, THAT, BEHOLD, EVERY
 MANS BUNDLE OF MONEY WAS IN HIS SACK: AND WHEN BOTH THEY AND THEIR FATHER SAW
 THE BUNDLES OF MONEY, THEY WERE AFRAID.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
= CHAPTER 43 
# 1 AND THE FAMINE WAS SORE IN THE LAND.
# 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.
# 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.
# 4 IF THOU WILT SEND OUR BROTHER WITH US, WE WILL GO DOWN AND BUY THEE FOOD:
# 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.
# 6 AND ISRAEL SAID, WHEREFORE DEALT YE SO ILL WITH ME, AS TO TELL THE MAN
 WHETHER YE HAD YET A BROTHER?
# 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?
# 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.
# 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:
# 10 FOR EXCEPT WE HAD LINGERED, SURELY NOW WE HAD RETURNED THIS SECOND TIME.
# 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:
# 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:
# 13 TAKE ALSO YOUR BROTHER, AND ARISE, GO AGAIN UNTO THE MAN:
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 17 AND THE MAN DID AS JOSEPH BADE; AND THE MAN BROUGHT THE MEN INTO JOSEPHS
 HOUSE.
# 18 AND THE MEN WERE AFRAID, BECAUSE THEY WERE BROUGHT INTO JOSEPHS 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.
# 19 AND THEY CAME NEAR TO THE STEWARD OF JOSEPHS HOUSE, AND THEY COMMUNED
 WITH HIM AT THE DOOR OF THE HOUSE,
# 20 AND SAID, O SIR, WE CAME INDEED DOWN AT THE FIRST TIME TO BUY FOOD:
# 21 AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN WE CAME TO THE INN, THAT WE OPENED OUR SACKS,
 AND, BEHOLD, EVERY MANS MONEY WAS IN THE MOUTH OF HIS SACK, OUR MONEY IN FULL
 WEIGHT: AND WE HAVE BROUGHT IT AGAIN IN OUR HAND.
# 22 AND OTHER MONEY HAVE WE BROUGHT DOWN IN OUR HANDS TO BUY FOOD: WE CANNOT
 TELL WHO PUT OUR MONEY IN OUR SACKS.
# 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.
# 24 AND THE MAN BROUGHT THE MEN INTO JOSEPHS HOUSE, AND GAVE THEM WATER, AND
 THEY WASHED THEIR FEET; AND HE GAVE THEIR ASSES PROVENDER.
# 25 AND THEY MADE READY THE PRESENT AGAINST JOSEPH CAME AT NOON: FOR THEY
 HEARD THAT THEY SHOULD EAT BREAD THERE.
# 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.
# 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?
# 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.
# 29 AND HE LIFTED UP HIS EYES, AND SAW HIS BROTHER BENJAMIN, HIS MOTHERS
 SON, AND SAID, IS THIS YOUR YOUNGER BROTHER, OF WHOM YE SPAKE UNTO ME? AND HE
 SAID, GOD BE GRACIOUS UNTO THEE, MY SON.
# 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.
# 31 AND HE WASHED HIS FACE, AND WENT OUT, AND REFRAINED HIMSELF, AND SAID,
 SET ON BREAD.
# 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.
# 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.
# 34 AND HE TOOK AND SENT MESSES UNTO THEM FROM BEFORE HIM: BUT BENJAMINS
 MESS WAS FIVE TIMES SO MUCH AS ANY OF THEIRS. AND THEY DRANK, AND WERE MERRY
 WITH HIM.
= CHAPTER 44 
# 1 AND HE COMMANDED THE STEWARD OF HIS HOUSE, SAYING, FILL THE MENS SACKS
 WITH FOOD, AS MUCH AS THEY CAN CARRY, AND PUT EVERY MANS MONEY IN HIS SACKS
 MOUTH.
# 2 AND PUT MY CUP, THE SILVER CUP, IN THE SACKS MOUTH OF THE YOUNGEST, AND
 HIS CORN MONEY. AND HE DID ACCORDING TO THE WORD THAT JOSEPH HAD SPOKEN.
# 3 AS SOON AS THE MORNING WAS LIGHT, THE MEN WERE SENT AWAY, THEY AND THEIR
 ASSES.
# 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?
# 5 IS NOT THIS IT IN WHICH MY LORD DRINKETH, AND WHEREBY INDEED HE DIVINETH?
 YE HAVE DONE EVIL IN SO DOING.
# 6 AND HE OVERTOOK THEM, AND HE SPAKE UNTO THEM THESE SAME WORDS.
# 7 AND THEY SAID UNTO HIM, WHEREFORE SAITH MY LORD THESE WORDS? GOD FORBID
 THAT THY SERVANTS SHOULD DO ACCORDING TO THIS THING:
# 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
 LORDS HOUSE SILVER OR GOLD?
# 9 WITH WHOMSOEVER OF THY SERVANTS IT BE FOUND, BOTH LET HIM DIE, AND WE
 ALSO WILL BE MY LORDS BONDMEN.
# 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.
# 11 THEN THEY SPEEDILY TOOK DOWN EVERY MAN HIS SACK TO THE GROUND, AND
 OPENED EVERY MAN HIS SACK.
# 12 AND HE SEARCHED, AND BEGAN AT THE ELDEST, AND LEFT AT THE YOUNGEST: AND
 THE CUP WAS FOUND IN BENJAMINS SACK.
# 13 THEN THEY RENT THEIR CLOTHES, AND LADED EVERY MAN HIS ASS, AND RETURNED
 TO THE CITY.
# 14 AND JUDAH AND HIS BRETHREN CAME TO JOSEPHS HOUSE; FOR HE WAS YET THERE:
 AND THEY FELL BEFORE HIM ON THE GROUND.
# 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?
# 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 LORDS SERVANTS, BOTH WE, AND HE ALSO WITH WHOM
 THE CUP IS FOUND.
# 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.
# 18 THEN JUDAH CAME NEAR UNTO HIM, AND SAID, OH MY LORD, LET THY SERVANT, I
 PRAY THEE, SPEAK A WORD IN MY LORDS EARS, AND LET NOT THINE ANGER BURN
 AGAINST THY SERVANT: FOR THOU ART EVEN AS PHARAOH.
# 19 MY LORD ASKED HIS SERVANTS, SAYING, HAVE YE A FATHER, OR A BROTHER?
# 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.
# 21 AND THOU SAIDST UNTO THY SERVANTS, BRING HIM DOWN UNTO ME, THAT I MAY
 SET MINE EYES UPON HIM.
# 22 AND WE SAID UNTO MY LORD, THE LAD CANNOT LEAVE HIS FATHER: FOR IF HE
 SHOULD LEAVE HIS FATHER, HIS FATHER WOULD DIE.
# 23 AND THOU SAIDST UNTO THY SERVANTS, EXCEPT YOUR YOUNGEST BROTHER COME
 DOWN WITH YOU, YE SHALL SEE MY FACE NO MORE.
# 24 AND IT CAME TO PASS WHEN WE CAME UP UNTO THY SERVANT MY FATHER, WE TOLD
 HIM THE WORDS OF MY LORD.
# 25 AND OUR FATHER SAID, GO AGAIN, AND BUY US A LITTLE FOOD.
# 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 MANS FACE, EXCEPT OUR YOUNGEST
 BROTHER BE WITH US.
# 27 AND THY SERVANT MY FATHER SAID UNTO US, YE KNOW THAT MY WIFE BARE ME TWO
 SONS:
# 28 AND THE ONE WENT OUT FROM ME, AND I SAID, SURELY HE IS TORN IN PIECES;
 AND I SAW HIM NOT SINCE:
# 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.
# 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 LADS LIFE;
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
= CHAPTER 45 
# 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.
# 2 AND HE WEPT ALOUD: AND THE EGYPTIANS AND THE HOUSE OF PHARAOH HEARD.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 7 AND GOD SENT ME BEFORE YOU TO PRESERVE YOU A POSTERITY IN THE EARTH, AND
 TO SAVE YOUR LIVES BY A GREAT DELIVERANCE.
# 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.
# 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:
# 10 AND THOU SHALT DWELL IN THE LAND OF GOSHEN, AND THOU SHALT BE NEAR UNTO
 ME, THOU, AND THY CHILDREN, AND THY CHILDRENS CHILDREN, AND THY FLOCKS, AND
 THY HERDS, AND ALL THAT THOU HAST:
# 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.
# 12 AND, BEHOLD, YOUR EYES SEE, AND THE EYES OF MY BROTHER BENJAMIN, THAT IT
 IS MY MOUTH THAT SPEAKETH UNTO YOU.
# 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.
# 14 AND HE FELL UPON HIS BROTHER BENJAMINS NECK, AND WEPT; AND BENJAMIN WEPT
 UPON HIS NECK.
# 15 MOREOVER HE KISSED ALL HIS BRETHREN, AND WEPT UPON THEM: AND AFTER THAT
 HIS BRETHREN TALKED WITH HIM.
# 16 AND THE FAME THEREOF WAS HEARD IN PHARAOHS HOUSE, SAYING, JOSEPHS
 BRETHREN ARE COME: AND IT PLEASED PHARAOH WELL, AND HIS SERVANTS.
# 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;
# 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.
# 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.
# 20 ALSO REGARD NOT YOUR STUFF; FOR THE GOOD OF ALL THE LAND OF EGYPT IS
 YOURS.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 24 SO HE SENT HIS BRETHREN AWAY, AND THEY DEPARTED: AND HE SAID UNTO THEM,
 SEE THAT YE FALL NOT OUT BY THE WAY.
# 25 AND THEY WENT UP OUT OF EGYPT, AND CAME INTO THE LAND OF CANAAN UNTO
 JACOB THEIR FATHER,
# 26 AND TOLD HIM, SAYING, JOSEPH IS YET ALIVE, AND HE IS GOVERNOR OVER ALL
 THE LAND OF EGYPT. AND JACOBS HEART FAINTED, FOR HE BELIEVED THEM NOT.
# 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:
# 28 AND ISRAEL SAID, IT IS ENOUGH; JOSEPH MY SON IS YET ALIVE: I WILL GO AND
 SEE HIM BEFORE I DIE.
= CHAPTER 46 
# 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.
# 2 AND GOD SPAKE UNTO ISRAEL IN THE VISIONS OF THE NIGHT, AND SAID, JACOB,
 JACOB. AND HE SAID, HERE AM I.
# 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:
# 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.
# 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.
# 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:
# 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.
# 8 AND THESE ARE THE NAMES OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, WHICH CAME INTO EGYPT,
 JACOB AND HIS SONS: REUBEN, JACOBS FIRSTBORN.
# 9 AND THE SONS OF REUBEN; HANOCH, AND PHALLU, AND HEZRON, AND CARMI.

# 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.
# 13 AND THE SONS OF ISSACHAR; TOLA, AND PHUVAH, AND JOB, AND SHIMRON.
# 14 AND THE SONS OF ZEBULUN; SERED, AND ELON, AND JAHLEEL.
# 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

# 16 AND THE SONS OF GAD; ZIPHION, AND HAGGI, SHUNI, AND EZBON, ERI, AND
 ARODI, AND ARELI.
# 17 AND THE SONS OF ASHER; JIMNAH, AND ISHUAH, AND ISUI, AND BERIAH, AND

# 18 THESE ARE THE SONS OF ZILPAH, WHOM LABAN GAVE TO LEAH HIS DAUGHTER, AND
 THESE SHE BARE UNTO JACOB, EVEN SIXTEEN SOULS.
# 19 THE SONS OF RACHEL JACOBS WIFE; JOSEPH, AND BENJAMIN.
# 20 AND UNTO JOSEPH IN THE LAND OF EGYPT WERE BORN MANASSEH AND EPHRAIM,

# 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.
# 28 AND HE SENT JUDAH BEFORE HIM UNTO JOSEPH, TO DIRECT HIS FACE UNTO
 GOSHEN; AND THEY CAME INTO THE LAND OF GOSHEN.
# 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.
# 30 AND ISRAEL SAID UNTO JOSEPH, NOW LET ME DIE, SINCE I HAVE SEEN THY FACE,
 BECAUSE THOU ART YET ALIVE.
# 31 AND JOSEPH SAID UNTO HIS BRETHREN, AND UNTO HIS FATHERS HOUSE, I WILL GO
 UP, AND SHEW PHARAOH, AND SAY UNTO HIM, MY BRETHREN, AND MY FATHERS HOUSE,
 WHICH WERE IN THE LAND OF CANAAN, ARE COME UNTO ME;
# 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.
# 33 AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS, WHEN PHARAOH SHALL CALL YOU, AND SHALL SAY,
 WHAT IS YOUR OCCUPATION?
# 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.
= CHAPTER 47 
# 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.
# 2 AND HE TOOK SOME OF HIS BRETHREN, EVEN FIVE MEN, AND PRESENTED THEM UNTO
 PHARAOH.
# 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.
# 4 THEY SAID MOREVER 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.
# 5 AND PHARAOH SPAKE UNTO JOSEPH, SAYING, THY FATHER AND THY BRETHREN ARE
 COME UNTO THEE:
# 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.
# 7 AND JOSEPH BROUGHT IN JACOB HIS FATHER, AND SET HIM BEFORE PHARAOH: AND
 JACOB BLESSED PHARAOH.
# 8 AND PHARAOH SAID UNTO JACOB, HOW OLD ART THOU?
# 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.
# 10 AND JACOB BLESSED PHARAOH, AND WENT OUT FROM BEFORE PHARAOH.
# 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.
# 12 AND JOSEPH NOURISHED HIS FATHER, AND HIS BRETHREN, AND ALL HIS FATHERS
 HOUSEHOLD, WITH BREAD, ACCORDING TO THEIR FAMILIES.
# 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.
# 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 PHARAOHS HOUSE.
# 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.
# 16 AND JOSEPH SAID, GIVE YOUR CATTLE; AND I WILL GIVE YOU FOR YOUR CATTLE,
 IF MONEY FAIL.
# 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.
# 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:
# 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.
# 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 PHARAOHS.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 25 AND THEY SAID, THOU HAST SAVED OUR LIVES: LET US FIND GRACE IN THE SIGHT
 OF MY LORD, AND WE WILL BE PHARAOHS SERVANTS.
# 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 PHARAOHS.
# 27 AND ISRAEL DWELT IN THE LAND OF EGYPT, IN THE COUNTRY OF GOSHEN; AND
 THEY HAD POSSESSIONS THEREIN, AND GREW, AND MULTIPLIED EXCEEDINGLY.
# 28 AND JACOB LIVED IN THE LAND OF EGYPT SEVENTEEN YEARS: SO THE WHOLE AGE
 OF JACOB WAS AN HUNDRED FORTY AND SEVEN YEARS.
# 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:
# 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.
# 31 AND HE SAID, SWEAR UNTO ME. AND HE SWARE UNTO HIM. AND ISRAEL BOWED
 HIMSELF UPON THE BEDS HEAD.
= CHAPTER 48 
# 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.
# 2 AND ONE TOLD JACOB, AND SAID, BEHOLD, THY SON JOSEPH COMETH UNTO THEE:
 AND ISRAEL STRENGTHENED HIMSELF, AND SAT UPON THE BED.
# 3 AND JACOB SAID UNTO JOSEPH, GOD ALMIGHTY APPEARED UNTO ME AT LUZ IN THE
 LAND OF CANAAN, AND BLESSED ME,
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 8 AND ISRAEL BEHELD JOSEPHS SONS, AND SAID, WHO ARE THESE?
# 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.
# 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.
# 11 AND ISRAEL SAID UNTO JOSEPH, I HAD NOT THOUGHT TO SEE THY FACE: AND, LO,
 GOD HATH SHEWED ME ALSO THY SEED.
# 12 AND JOSEPH BROUGHT THEM OUT FROM BETWEEN HIS KNEES, AND HE BOWED HIMSELF
 WITH HIS FACE TO THE EARTH.
# 13 AND JOSEPH TOOK THEM BOTH, EPHRAIM IN HIS RIGHT HAND TOWARD ISRAELS LEFT
 HAND, AND MANASSEH IN HIS LEFT HAND TOWARD ISRAELS RIGHT HAND, AND BROUGHT
 THEM NEAR UNTO HIM.
# 14 AND ISRAEL STRETCHED OUT HIS RIGHT HAND, AND LAID IT UPON EPHRAIMS HEAD,
 WHO WAS THE YOUNGER, AND HIS LEFT HAND UPON MANASSEHS HEAD, GUIDING HIS HANDS
 WITTINGLY; FOR MANASSEH WAS THE FIRSTBORN.
# 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,
# 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.
# 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 FATHERS HAND, TO REMOVE IT
 FROM EPHRAIMS HEAD UNTO MANASSEHS HEAD.
# 18 AND JOSEPH SAID UNTO HIS FATHER, NOT SO, MY FATHER: FOR THIS IS THE
 FIRSTBORN; PUT THY RIGHT HAND UPON HIS HEAD.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
= CHAPTER 49 
# 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.
# 2 GATHER YOURSELVES TOGETHER, AND HEAR, YE SONS OF JACOB; AND HEARKEN UNTO
 ISRAEL YOUR FATHER.
# 3 REUBEN, THOU ART MY FIRSTBORN, MY MIGHT, AND THE BEGINNING OF MY
 STRENGTH, THE EXCELLENCY OF DIGNITY, AND THE EXCELLENCY OF POWER:
# 4 UNSTABLE AS WATER, THOU SHALT NOT EXCEL; BECAUSE THOU WENTEST UP TO THY
 FATHERS BED; THEN DEFILEDST THOU IT: HE WENT UP TO MY COUCH.
# 5 SIMEON AND LEVI ARE BRETHREN; INSTRUMENTS OF CRUELTY ARE IN THEIR
 HABITATIONS.
# 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.
# 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.
# 8 JUDAH, THOU ART HE WHOM THY BRETHREN SHALL PRAISE: THY HAND SHALL BE IN
 THE NECK OF THINE ENEMIES; THY FATHERS CHILDREN SHALL BOW DOWN BEFORE THEE.
# 9 JUDAH IS A LIONS 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?
# 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.
# 11 BINDING HIS FOAL UNTO THE VINE, AND HIS ASSS COLT UNTO THE CHOICE VINE;
 HE WASHED HIS GARMENTS IN WINE, AND HIS CLOTHES IN THE BLOOD OF GRAPES:
# 12 HIS EYES SHALL BE RED WITH WINE, AND HIS TEETH WHITE WITH MILK.
# 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.
# 14 ISSACHAR IS A STRONG ASS COUCHING DOWN BETWEEN TWO BURDENS:
# 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.
# 16 DAN SHALL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE, AS ONE OF THE TRIBES OF ISRAEL.
# 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.
# 18 I HAVE WAITED FOR THY SALVATION, O LORD.
# 19 GAD, A TROOP SHALL OVERCOME HIM: BUT HE SHALL OVERCOME AT THE LAST.
# 20 OUT OF ASHER HIS BREAD SHALL BE FAT, AND HE SHALL YIELD ROYAL DAINTIES.
# 21 NAPHTALI IS A HIND LET LOOSE: HE GIVETH GOODLY WORDS.
# 22 JOSEPH IS A FRUITFUL BOUGH, EVEN A FRUITFUL BOUGH BY A WELL; WHOSE
 BRANCHES RUN OVER THE WALL:
# 23 THE ARCHERS HAVE SORELY GRIEVED HIM, AND SHOT AT HIM, AND HATED HIM:
# 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:)
# 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:
# 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.
# 27 BENJAMIN SHALL RAVIN AS A WOLF: IN THE MORNING HE SHALL DEVOUR THE PREY,
 AND AT NIGHT HE SHALL DIVIDE THE SPOIL.
# 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.
# 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,
# 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.
# 31 THERE THEY BURIED ABRAHAM AND SARAH HIS WIFE; THERE THEY BURIED ISAAC
 AND REBEKAH HIS WIFE; AND THERE I BURIED LEAH.
# 32 THE PURCHASE OF THE FIELD AND OF THE CAVE THAT IS THEREIN WAS FROM THE
 CHILDREN OF HETH.
# 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.
= CHAPTER 50 
# 1 AND JOSEPH FELL UPON HIS FATHERS FACE, AND WEPT UPON HIM, AND KISSED HIM.
# 2 AND JOSEPH COMMANDED HIS SERVANTS THE PHYSICIANS TO EMBALM HIS FATHER:
 AND THE PHYSICIANS EMBALMED ISRAEL.
# 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.
# 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,
# 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.
# 6 AND PHARAOH SAID, GO UP, AND BURY THY FATHER, ACCORDING AS HE MADE THEE
 SWEAR.
# 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, IT
# 8 AND ALL THE HOUSE OF JOSEPH, AND HIS BRETHREN, AND HIS FATHERS HOUSE:
 ONLY THEIR LITTLE ONES, AND THEIR FLOCKS, AND THEIR HERDS, THEY LEFT IN THE
 LAND OF GOSHEN.
# 9 AND THERE WENT UP WITH HIM BOTH CHARIOTS AND HORSEMEN: AND IT WAS A VERY
 GREAT COMPANY.
# 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.
# 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.
# 12 AND HIS SONS DID UNTO HIM ACCORDING AS HE COMMANDED THEM:
# 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.
# 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.
# 15 AND WHEN JOSEPHS 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.
# 16 AND THEY SENT A MESSENGER UNTO JOSEPH, SAYING, THY FATHER DID COMMAND
 BEFORE HE DIED, SAYING,
# 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.
# 18 AND HIS BRETHREN ALSO WENT AND FELL DOWN BEFORE HIS FACE; AND THEY SAID,
 BEHOLD, WE BE THY SERVANTS.
# 19 AND JOSEPH SAID UNTO THEM, FEAR NOT: FOR AM I IN THE PLACE OF GOD?
# 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.
# 21 NOW THEREFORE FEAR YE NOT: I WILL NOURISH YOU, AND YOUR LITTLE ONES. AND
 HE COMFORTED THEM, AND SPAKE KINDLY UNTO THEM.
# 22 AND JOSEPH DWELT IN EGYPT, HE, AND HIS FATHERS HOUSE: AND JOSEPH LIVED
 AN HUNDRED AND TEN YEARS.
# 23 AND JOSEPH SAW EPHRAIMS CHILDREN OF THE THIRD GENERATION: THE CHILDREN
 ALSO OF MACHIR THE SON OF MANASSEH WERE BROUGHT UP UPON JOSEPHS KNEES.
# 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.
# 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.
# 26 SO JOSEPH DIED, BEING AN HUNDRED AND TEN YEARS OLD: AND THEY EMBALMED
 HIM, AND HE WAS PUT IN A COFFIN IN EGYPT.
