CHAP. I.
1 The creation of heaven and earth, 3 of the light, 6 of the firmament. 9 The earth separated from the waters, and made fruitful. 14 The creation of the sun, moon, and stars, 20 of fish and fowl, 24 of beasts and cattle, 26 of man in the image of God; and his blessing. 29 The appointment of food.
In the [1] beginning [2] 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. [3] And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 ¶ [4] And God said, [5] Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided †† Heb. between the light and between the darkness. the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light [6] Day, and the darkness he called Night. †† Heb. and the evening was, and the morning was. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
6 ¶ And God said, [7] Let there be a †† Heb. expansion. firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And God made the firmament, [8] and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were [9] 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, [10] 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 [11] bring forth †† Heb. tender grass. grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding [12] 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 [13] lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide †† Heb. between the day and between the night. the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and [14] 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 [15] made two great lights; the greater light †† Heb. for the rule of the day. to rule the day, and [16] the lesser light to rule the night: he made [17] the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 And to [18] 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, [19] Let the waters bring forth abundantly the ‖‖ Or, creeping. moving creature that hath †† Heb. soul. life, and †† Heb. let fowl fly. fowl that may fly above the earth in the †† Heb. face of the firmament of heaven. open firmament of heaven.
21 And [20] 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, [21] 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, [22] Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and [23] 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, [24] in the image of God created he him; [25] male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, [26] 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 †† Heb. creepeth. moveth upon the earth.
29 ¶ And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb †† Heb. seeding seed. 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; [27] to you it shall be for meat.
30 And to [28] every beast of the earth, and to every [29] fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is †† Heb. a living soul. life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
31 And [30] God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
CHAP. II.
1 The first sabbath. 4 The manner of the creation. 8 The planting of the garden of Eden. 10 The river, and its four heads. 15 Man is placed in Eden, and the tree of knowledge only forbidden. 18 The naming of the creatures. 21 The making of woman, and institution of marriage.
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and [31] all the host of them.
2 [32] 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 [33] blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God †† Heb. created to make. created and made.
4 ¶ [34] 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 [35] 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 [36] caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man [37] to till the ground.
6 But ‖‖ Or, a mist which went up from, &c. there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
7 And the LORD God formed man †† Heb. dust of the ground. of the [38] dust of the ground, and [39] breathed into [40] his nostrils the breath of life; and [41] man became a living soul.
8 ¶ And the LORD God planted [42] a garden [43] eastward in [44] Eden; and there [45] he put the man whom he had formed.
9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow [46] every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food; [47] the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, [48] 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 [49] Pison: that is it which compasseth [50] the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
12 And the gold of that land is good: [51] 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 †† Heb. Cush. Ethiopia.
14 And the name of the third river is [52] Hiddekel: that is it which goeth ‖‖ Or, eastward to Assyria. toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
15 ¶ And the LORD God took ‖‖ Or, Adam. the man, and [53] 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 †† Heb. eating thou shalt eat. thou mayest freely eat:
17 [54] But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, [55] thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof [56] †† Heb. dying thou shalt die. thou shalt surely die.
18 ¶ And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; [57] I will make [58] him an help †† Heb. as before him. meet for him.
19 [59] And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and [60] brought them unto ‖‖ Or, the man. Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
20 And Adam †† Heb. called. 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 [61] 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, †† Heb. builded. made he a woman, and [62] brought her unto the man.
23 And Adam said, This is now [63] bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called †† Heb. Isha. Woman, because she was [64] taken out of †† Heb. Ish. Man.
24 [65] Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
25 [66] And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not [67] ashamed.
CHAP. III.
1 The serpent deceiveth Eve. 6 Man's fall. 9 God arraigneth them. 14 The serpent is cursed, and his overthrow by the seed of the woman foretold. 16 The punishment of mankind. 21 Their first clothing. 22 Their expulsion out of paradise.
Now [68] the serpent was [69] more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, †† Heb. Yea, because, &c. 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 [70] 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 [71] 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 [72] 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 †† Heb. a desire. pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, [73] and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; [74] and he did eat.
7 And [75] the eyes of them both were opened, [76] and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves ‖‖ Or, things to gird about. aprons.
8 And they [77] heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the †† Heb. wind. cool of the day: and Adam and his wife [78] 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, [79] and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid my self.
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, [80] 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, [81] The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
14 ¶ And the LORD God said [82] 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 [83] dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between [84] thy seed and [85] her seed; [86] 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; [87] in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; [88] and thy desire shall be ‖‖ Or, subject to thy husband. to thy husband, and he shall [89] rule over thee.
17 And unto Adam he said, [90] Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, [91] and hast eaten of the tree, [92] of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: [93] cursed is the ground for thy sake; [94] in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
18 [95] Thorns also and thistles shall it †† Heb. cause to bud. bring forth to thee; and [96] thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
19 [97] In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: [98] for dust thou art, and [99] unto dust shalt thou return.
20 And Adam called his wife's name †† Heb. Chavah. ‖‖ That is, living. 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, [100] Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, [101] 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, [102] to till the ground from whence he was taken.
24 So he drove out the man; and he placed [103] at the east of the garden of Eden [104] Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

11 And now art thou curſed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;

13 And Cain ſaid unto the LORD, ‖‖ Or, Mine iniquity is greater than that it may be forgiven. My puniſhment is greater than I can bear.
14 [114] Behold, thou haſt driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and [115] 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, [116] 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 [117] ſevenfold. And the LORD [118] ſet a mark upon Cain, leſt any finding him ſhould kill him.

And it came to pass, [140] when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

62448. And [145] it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it [146] grieved him at his heart.
7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; †† Heb. from man unto beast. 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 [147] found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
9 These are the generations of Noah: [148] Noah was a just man and ‖‖ Or, upright. perfect in his generations, and Noah [149] walked with God.
10 And Noah begat three sons, [150] Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 The earth also was corrupt [151] before God, and the earth was [152] filled with violence.
12 And God [153] 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, [154] The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; [155] and, behold, I will destroy them ‖‖ Or, from the earth. with the earth.
14 ¶ Make thee an ark of gopher wood; †† Heb. nests. 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 [156] 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 [157] 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, [158] 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 [159] 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 [160] Thus did Noah; [161] according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
CHAP. VII.
1 Noah receiveth command from God, 7 and entereth into the ark with his family and the living creatures. 10 The beginning of the flood as soon as they are entered. 17 Its continual increase for forty days. 21 All flesh is destroyed by it. 24 Its duration.
2349.And the LORD said unto Noah, [162] Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for [163] thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
2 Of every [164] clean beast thou shalt take to thee by †Heb. seven seven. sevens, the male and his female: [165] 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 [166] forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I †† Heb. blot out. destroy from off the face of the earth.
5 [167] And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.
62349. And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 ¶ [168] 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 ‖‖ Or, on the seventh day. after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all [169] the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the ‖‖ Or, floodgates. [170] windows of heaven were opened.
12 [171] And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 In the selfsame day [172] entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
14 [173] 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 †† Heb. wing. sort.
15 And they [174] 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, [175] as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
17 ¶ [176] 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; [177] and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; [178] 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 ¶ [179] 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 [180] whose nostrils was †† Heb. the breath of the spirit of life. 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 [181] Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
24 ¶ [182] And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
CHAP. VIII.
1 The waters asswage. 4 The ark resteth on Ararat. 6 Noah sendetb out a raven and a dove. 13 The earth is dried. 15 Noah, being commandeth, goeth forth from the ark, 20 So he buildeth an altar, and offereth sacrifice, which God accepteth, and promiseth to curse the earth no more.
And God [183] remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: [184] and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;
2 [185] The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and [186] the rain from heaven was restrained;
3 And the waters returned from off the earth †† Heb. were in going and returning. continually: and after the end [187] 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 †† Heb. were in going and decreasing. 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 [188] the window of the ark which he had made:
7 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth †† Heb. in going forth and returning. 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 †† Heb. caused her to come. 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.
132348. ¶ 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, [189] thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons wives with thee.
17 Bring forth with thee [190] 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 [191] 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 †† Heb. families. kinds, went forth out of the ark.
20 ¶ And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of [192] every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21 And the LORD smelled [193] a †† Heb. a savour of rest. sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again [194] curse the ground any more for man's sake; ‖‖ Or, though. for the [195] imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; [196] neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
22 [197] †† Heb. as yet all the days off the earth. While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and [198] day and night shall not cease.
CHAP. IX.
1 God blesseth Noah, granting him animal food, but forbidding the eating of blood, and murder. 8 God's covenant signified by the rainbow. 18 The days of the earth is repeopled from Noah. 20 He planteth a vineyard, is drunken, and mocked by Canaan, whom he curseth, and blesseth his other sons. 28 His age and death.
And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, [199] Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
2 [200] 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 [201] Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the [202] green herb have I given you [203] all things.
4 [204] 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; [205] at the hand of every beast will I require it, and [206] at the hand of man; at the hand of every [207] man's brother will I require the life of man.
6 [208] Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: [209] for in the image of God made he man.
7 And you, [210] 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, [211] behold, I establish [212] my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
10 [213] 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 [214] 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, [215] 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 [216] my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
14 [217] 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 [218] 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 [219] 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.
182347. ¶ And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: [220] and Ham is the father of †† Chenaan. Canaan.
19 [221] These are the three sons of Noah: [222] and of them was the whole earth overspread.
20 ¶ And Noah began to be [223] an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
21 And he drank of the wine, [224] 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 [225] And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
25 And he said, [226] Cursed be Canaan; [227] a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26 And he said, [228] Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be ‖‖Or, servant to them. his servant.
27 God shall ‖‖ Or, perswade. enlarge Japheth, [229] and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
281998. ¶ 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.
CHAP. X.
1 The generations of Noah. 2 The sons of Japheth. 6 The sons of Ham; Nimrod the first monarch, 15 Canaan's descendants, and their settlement. 21 The sons of Shem.
Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: [230] and unto them were sons born after the flood.
2 ¶ [231] 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 ‖‖ Or, as some read it Rodanim. Dodanim.
5 By these were [232] the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
6 ¶ [233] 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.
8cir. 2218. And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
9 He was a mighty [234] hunter [235] before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
10 [236] And the beginning of his kingdom was †† Gr. Babylon. Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
11 Out of that land ‖‖ Or, be went out into Assyria. went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and ‖‖ Or, the streets of the city. 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, ([237] out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.
15 ¶ And Canaan begat †† Heb. Tzidon. Sidon his firstborn, 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 [238] And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto †† Heb. Azzah. 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 [239] children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and †† Heb. Arpachshad. Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
23 And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
24 And Arphaxad begat †† Heb. Shelah. [240] Salah; and Salah begat Eber.
252247. [241] And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was ‖‖ That is, division. Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's 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 [242] These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: [243] and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
CHAP. XI.
1 One language in the world. 3 The building of Babel interrupted by the confusion of tongues. 10 The generations of Shem, 27 and of Terah the father of Abram. 31 Terah goeth from Ur to Haran, and dieth there.
And the whole earth was of one †† Heb. lip. language, and of one †† Heb. words. speech.
2cir. 2247. And it came to pass, as they journeyed ‖‖ Or, eastward, as ch. 13. 11.
2 Sam. 6. 2. with 2 Chro. 13. 6. from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
3 ¶ And †† Heb. a man said to his neighbour. they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and †† Heb. burn them to a burning. burn them throughly. 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, [244] 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 [245] And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
6 And the LORD said, Behold, [246] the people is one, and they have all [247] one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have [248] imagined to do.
7 Go to, [249] let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may [250] not understand one another's speech.
8 So [251] the LORD scattered them abroad from thence [252] upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
9 Therefore is the name of it called ‖‖ That is, confusion. Babel; [253] 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 ¶ [254] These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:
112346. And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
122311. And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, [255] and begat Salah:
13 And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
142281. 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.
162247. [256] And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat [257] Peleg:
17 And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.
182217. 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.
202185. And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat [258] Serug:
21 And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.
222155. And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:
23 And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
242126. And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat [259] Terah:
25 And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.
262056. And Terah lived seventy years, and [260] begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
271996. ¶ 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 Abram's wife was [261] Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, [262] Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
30 But [263] Sarai was barren; she had no child.
31cir. 1923. ¶ And Terah [264] took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from [265] Ur of the Chaldees, to go into [266] the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
321921. And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.
CHAP. XII.
1 God calleth Abram, and blesseth him with a promise of Christ. 4 He with Lot departeth from Haran. 6 He journeyeth through Canaan, which is promised him in a vision. 10 He is driven by a famine into Egypt, where fear maketh him feign his wife to be his sister. 14 Pharaoh taketh her into his house, but by plagues is compelled to restore her; and sendeth Abram away.
Now the [267] LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
2 [268] And I will make of thee a great nation, [269] and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; [270] and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 [271] And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: [272] 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 brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and [273] the souls that they had gotten [274] in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
6 ¶ And Abram [275] passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, [276] unto the plain of Moreh. [277] And the Canaanite was then in the land.
7 [278] And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, [279] Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an [280] altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.
8 And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, having Beth-el on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and [281] called upon the name of the LORD.
9 And Abram journeyed, †† Heb. in going and journeying. [282] going on still toward the south.
10 ¶ And there was [283] a famine in the land: and Abram [284] went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was [285] 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 [286] 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 [287] will kill me, but they will save thee alive.
13 [288] 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.
14cir. 1920. ¶ And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians [289] 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 [290] taken into Pharaoh's house.
16 And he [291] 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 [292] plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.
18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, [293] 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 [294] And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
CHAP. XIII.
1 Abram and Lot return out of Egypt. 7 On a strife between their servants they agree to part. 10 Lot goeth to Sodom. 14 God reneweth his promise to Abram. 18 He removeth to Hebron, and there buildeth an altar.
And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, [295] into the south.
2 [296] And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
3 And he went on his journeys [297] from the south even to Beth-el, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth-el and Hai;
4 Unto the [298] place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram [299] called on the name of the LORD.
5 And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
6 And [300] 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 [301] a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: [302] and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.
8 And Abram said unto Lot, [303] Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be †† Heb. men brethren:
See ch. 11. 17, 31.
Exod. 2. 13.
Ps. 133. 1.
Acts 7. 26. brethren.
9 [304] Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: [305] 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 [306] the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD [307] destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, [308] even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto [309] Zoar.
11cir. 1917. 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 [310] dwelled in the cities of the plain, and [311] pitched his tent toward Sodom.
13 But the men of Sodom [312] were wicked and [313] sinners before the LORD exceedingly.
14 ¶ And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot [314] was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art [315] northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
15 For all the land which thou seest, [316] to thee will I give it, and [317] to thy seed for ever.
16 And [318] 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 [319] dwelt in the †† Heb. plains. plain of Mamre, [320] which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.
CHAP. XIV.
1 The battle of four kings against five, 11 Lot is taken prisoner. 14 Abram refeueth Lot , 17 is met by the king of Sodom, and blessed by Melchizedek, to whom he giveth tithe. 21 He restoreth the rest of the spoil to the king of Sodom, except the portion of his confederates.
And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king [321] of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of [322] 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 [323] Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is [324] Zoar.
3 All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, [325] which is the salt sea.
4 Twelve years [326] they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
5cir. 1913. And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote [327] the Rephaims [328] in Ashteroth Karnaim, and [329] the Zuzims in Ham, and [330] the Emims in ‖‖ Or, the plain of Kiriathaim. Shaveh Kiriathaim,
6 [331] And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto ‖‖ Or, the plain of Paran,
ch. 21. 21.
Numb. 12. 16. & 13. 3. El-paran, 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 [332] in Hazezon-tamar.
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 [333] slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled [334] to the mountain.
11 And they took [335] all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.
12 ¶ And they took Lot, Abram's [336] brother's son, [337] who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
13 And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for [338] he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: [339] and these were confederate with Abram.
14 ¶ And when Abram heard that [340] his brother was taken captive, he ‖‖ Or, led forth. armed his ‖‖ Or, instructed. trained servants, [341] born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them [342] unto Dan.
15 And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and [343] smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
16 And he brought back [344] 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 [345] went out to meet him [346] after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the [347] king's dale.
18 And [348] Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was [349] the priest of [350] the most high God.
19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, [351] possessor of heaven and earth:
20 And [352] blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes [353] of all.
21 ¶ And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the †† Heb. souls. persons, and take the goods to thyself.
22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I [354] have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, [355] the possessor of heaven and earth,
23 That [356] 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 [357] which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.
CHAP. XV.
1 God encourageth Abram, who complaineth for want of an heir. 4 God promiseth him a son, and a numerous seed. 6 He is justified by his faith. 7 The promise of Canaan is renewed, and confirmed to him by a sign and a vision.
After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram [358] in a vision, saying, [359] Fear not, Abram: I am thy [360] shield, and thy exceeding [361] great reward.
2 And Abram said, LORD God, what wilt thou give me, [362] 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, [363] 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 [364] 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 [365] tell the [366] stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, [367] So shall thy seed be.
6 ¶ And he [368] believed in the LORD; and he [369] counted it to him for righteousness.
7 ¶ And he said unto him, I am the LORD that [370] brought thee out of [371] Ur of the Chaldees, [372] to give thee this land to inherit it.
8 And he said, LORD God, [373] 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 [374] divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but [375] 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, [376] 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 [377] that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and [378] they shall afflict them four hundred years;
14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, [379] will I judge: and afterward [380] shall they come out with great substance.
15 And [381] thou shalt go [382] to thy fathers in peace; [383] thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
16 But [384] in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity [385] of the Amorites [386] 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 †† Heb. a lamp of fire. a burning lamp that [387] passed between those pieces.
18 In the same day the LORD [388] made a covenant with Abram, saying, [389] 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.
CHAP. XVI.
1 Sarai being barren giveth Hagar to Abram. 4 Hagar being conceived despiseth her mistress, and being harshly treated runneth away. 7 An angel sendeth her back to submit herself, and informeth her of her son's fortunes. 15 Ishmael is born.
Now Sarai Abram's wife [390] bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, [391] an Egyptian, whose name was [392] Hagar.
2 [393] And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD [394] hath restrained me from bearing: I pray [395] thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may †† Heb. be builded by her. obtain children by her. And Abram [396] hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
31911. And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram [397] 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 [398] 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: [399] the LORD judge between me and thee.
6 [400] But Abram said unto Sarai, [401] Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her †† Heb. that which is good in thine eyes. as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai †† Heb. afflicted her. dealt hardly with her, [402] she fled from her face.
7 ¶ And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, [403] by the fountain in the way to [404] Shur.
8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.
9 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and [405] submit thyself under her hands.
10 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, [406] 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, [407] and shalt call his name ‖‖ That is, God shall hear. Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
12 [408] And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; [409] 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 [410] that seeth me?
14 Wherefore the well was called [411] ‖‖ That is, the well of him that liveth and seeth me. Beer-lahai-roi; behold, it is [412] between Kadesh and Bered.
15 ¶ And [413] Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bare, [414] [[w:Ishmael|Ishmael]].
161910. And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.
CHAP. XVII.
1 God reneweth his covenant with Abram. 5 Abram's name is changed in token of greater blessings. 9 Circumcision is instituted. 15 Sarai's name is changed, and Isaac, with the blessing of a numerous issue, promised her. 23 Abraham, his son Ishmael, and all his men-servants are circumcised.
And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD [415] appeared to Abram, and said unto him, [416] I am the Almighty God; [417] walk before me, and be thou ‖‖ Or, upright, or, sincere. [418] perfect.
2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and [419] will multiply thee exceedingly.
3 And Abram [420] fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be [421] a father of †† Heb. multitude of nations. many nations.
5 ¶ Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but [422] thy name shall be ‖‖ That is, Father of a great multitude. Abraham; [423] for a father of many nations have I made thee.
6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make [424] nations of thee, and [425] kings shall come out of thee.
7 And I will [426] establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, [427] to be a God unto thee, and to [428] thy seed after thee.
8 And [429] I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land †† Heb. of thy sojournings. [430] wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and [431] 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; [432] Every man child among you shall be circumcised.
11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be [433] a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.
12 And †† Heb. a son of eight days. he that is eight days old [434] 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 [435] 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 ‖‖ That is, Princess. Sarah shall her name be.
16 And I will bless her, [436] and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother [437] of nations; kings of people shall be of her.
17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, [438] 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, [439] 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 [440] will multiply him exceedingly; [441] twelve princes shall he beget, [442] and I will make him a great nation.
21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, [443] 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 Abraham's house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had said unto him.
241898. 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 [444] all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
CHAP. XVIII.
1 Abraham entertaineth three angels. 9 The promise of Isaac is renewed, at which Sarah laugheth, and is reproved. 17 The definition of Sodom is revealed to Abraham, 23 who strongly interceded for the inhabitants of it.
1898.And the LORD appeared unto him in the [445] plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
2 [446] And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: [447] 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 [448] a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
5 And [449] I will fetch a morsel of bread, and †† Heb. stay. [450] comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: [451] for therefore †† Heb. you have passed. 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, †† Heb. Hasten. 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 [452] 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, [453] in the tent.
10 And he said, I [454] will certainly return unto thee [455] according to the time of life; and, lo, [456] Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him.
11 Now [457] Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah [458] after the manner of women.
12 Therefore Sarah [459] laughed within herself, saying, [460] After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my [461] 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 [462] Is any thing too hard for the LORD? [463] 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 [464] to bring them on the way.
17 And the LORD said, [465] 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 [466] blessed in him?
19 For I know him, [467] 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 [468] the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
21 [469] 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, [470] I will know.
22 And the men turned their faces from thence, [471] and went toward Sodom: but Abraham [472] stood yet before the LORD.
23 And Abraham [473] drew near, and said, [474] Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
24 [475] 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 [476] that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: [477] Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
26 And the LORD said, [478] 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, [479] Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD, which am [480] 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 forty's 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 twenty's sake.
32 And he said, [481] Oh let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. [482] And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.
33 And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.
CHAP. XIX.
1 Lot entertainetb two angels. 4 The vicious Sodomites beset the house, and are stricken with blindness. 12 Lot is directed to flee with his family to the mountain, but obtaineth leave to retire into Zoar. 24 Sodom and Gomorrah are destroyed. 26 Lot's wife is made a pillar of salt. 27 Abraham seeth the dreadful overthrow. 30 Lot retireth from Zoar to a cave in the mountain. 31 The incestuous origin of Moab and Ammon.
And there [483] came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and [484] 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, [485] turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and [486] wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, [487] 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; [488] 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 [489] And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? [490] bring them out unto us, that we [491] may know them.
6 And [492] 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 [493] 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; [494] for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.
9 And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow [495] came in to sojourn, [496] 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 [497] 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, [498] bring them out of this place:
13 For we will destroy this place, because the [499] cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and [500] the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.
14 And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, [501] which married his daughters, and said, [502] Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. [503] But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.
15 And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, [504] Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, †† Heb. are found. which are here; lest thou be consumed in the ‖‖ Or, punishment. iniquity of the city.
16 And [505] 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; [506] the LORD being merciful unto him: [507] 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, [508] Escape for thy life; [509] 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, [510] 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, [511] I have accepted †† Heb. thy face. thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.
22 Haste thee, escape thither; for [512] I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore [513] the name of the city was called ‖‖ That is, little. Zoar.
23 The sun was †† Heb. gone forth. risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
24 ¶ Then [514] 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 [515] that which grew upon the ground.
26 ¶ But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became [516] a pillar of salt.
27 ¶ And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where [517] 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, [518] 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 [519] 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 [520] 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 [521] 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 [522] 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.
371897. And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: [523] the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
38 And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Ben-ammi: [524] the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.
CHAP. XX.
1 Abraham sojourneth at Gerar, and denieth his wife; Abimelech taketh her, but is reproved of God in a dream, and commanded to restore her. 9 He rebuketh Abraham, who excuseth himself. 14 Sarah is restored with presents after a gentle reproof. 17 Abimelech and his house are healed at Abraham's prayer.
cir. 1898.And Abraham journeyed from [525] thence toward the south country, and dwelled between [526] Kadesh and Shur, and [527] sojourned in Gerar.
2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, [528] She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and [529] took Sarah.
3 But [530] God came to Abimelech [531] in a dream by night, and said to him, [532] Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is †† Heb. married to an husband. a man's wife.
4 But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, LORD, [533] 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: [534] in the ‖‖ Or, simplicity, or, sincerity. 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 [535] I also withheld thee from sinning [536] against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.
7 Now therefore restore the man his wife; [537] for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, [538] know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, [539] 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, [540] that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me [541] 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 [542] the fear of God is not in this place; and [543] they will slay me for my wife's sake.
12 And yet indeed [544] 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 [545] God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said unto her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt shew unto me; at every place whither we shall come, [546] say of me, He is my brother.
14 ¶ And Abimelech [547] took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
15 And Abimelech said, Behold, [548] my land is before thee: dwell †† Heb. as is good in thine eyes. where it pleaseth thee.
16 And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given [549] thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: [550] behold, he is to thee [551] a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved.
17 ¶ So Abraham [552] prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.
18 For the LORD [553] had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
CHAP. XXI.
1 Isaac is born, and circumcised. 6 Sarah's joy. 9 Hagar and Ishmael are cast forth at Sarah's instance, and by God's direction. 15 Hagar in distress is relieved and comforted by an angel. 22 Abimelech's covenant with Abraham, 33 who calleth upon the LORD in Beer-sheba.
And the LORD [554] visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah [555] as he had spoken.
2 For Sarah [556] conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, [557] 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, [558] Isaac.
4 And Abraham [559] circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, [560] as God had commanded him.
5cir. 1897. And [561] Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
6 ¶ And Sarah said, [562] God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear [563] will laugh with me.
7 And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? [564] 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 [565] the Egyptian, [566] which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.
10cir. 1892. Wherefore she said unto Abraham, [567] 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 Abraham's sight [568] 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 [569] in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
13 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make [570] 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 [571] sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
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 bowshot: 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 [572] 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 [573] I will make him a great nation.
19 And [574] 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 [575] was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, [576] and became an archer.
21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother [577] took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
22 ¶ And it came to pass at that time, that [578] Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, [579] God is with thee in all that thou doest:
23 Now therefore [580] swear unto me here by God †† Heb. if thou shalt lie unto me. that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son: but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.
24 And Abraham said, I will swear.
25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants [581] 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 [582] made a covenant.
28 And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, [583] 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 [584] they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.
31 Wherefore he [585] called that place ‖‖ That is, The well of the oath. Beer-sheba; because there they sware both of them.
32cir. 1891. Thus they made a covenant at Beer-sheba: 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 ‖‖ Or, tree. grove in Beer-sheba, and [586] called there on the name of the LORD, [587] the everlasting God.
34 And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.
CHAP. XXII.
1 Abraham is tempted to offer Isaac. 3 He giveth proof of his faith and obedience: 11 The angel stayeth him from slaying his son, in whose stead he offereth a ram. 15 Abraham is blessed again. 20 The generations of Nahor, from whom came Rebekah.

2 And he said, Take now thy son, [589] thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee [590] 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 [591] 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, †† Heb. Behold me. Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the ‖‖ Or, kid. 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 [592] 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, [593] Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for [594] 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 ‖‖ That is, The LORD will see, or, provide. Jehovah-jireh: 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, [595] 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 [596] as the stars of the heaven, [597] and as the sand which is upon the sea †† Heb. lip. shore; and [598] thy seed shall possess [599] the gate of his enemies;
18 [600] And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; [601] because thou hast obeyed my voice.
19 So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to [602] Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
20 ¶ And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, [603] Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor;
21 [604] Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father [605] of Aram,
22 And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
23 And [606] Bethuel begat [607] Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
CHAP. XXIII.
1 The age and death of Sarah. 3 The purchase of Machpelah, 19 where Sarah was buried.
And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were the years of the life of Sarah.
21860. And Sarah died in [608] Kirjath-arba; the same is [609] 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 [610] I am a stranger and a sojourner with you: [611] 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 †† Heb. a prince of God. [612] 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 †† Heb. full money. 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 †† Heb. ears. audience of the children of Heth, even of all that [613] went in at the gate of his city, saying,
11 [614] 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 [615] shekels of silver; what is that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.
16 And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham [616] 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 [617] 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, [618] were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a buryingplace by the sons of Heth.
CHAP. XXIV.
1 Abraham sweareth his servant to seek a wife for Isaac. 10 The servant's journey; 12 his prayer and sign. 15 Rebekah meeteth him and fulfilleth his sign. 22 She receiveth jewels, sheweth her kindred, and inviteth him home, he blesseth God. 29 Laban entertaineth him. 34 The servant telleth his errand, and asketh for Rebekah. 50 Laban and Bethuel approve of his proposal, and on his desiring to be gone Rebekah consenteth to go with him. 62 Isaac meeteth her on her way, and bringing her home, marrieth her.
1857.And Abraham [619] was old, and †† Heb. gone into days. well stricken in age: and the LORD [620] had blessed Abraham in all things.
2 And Abraham said [621] unto his eldest servant of his house, that [622] ruled over all that he had, [623] Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:
3 And I will make thee [624] swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that [625] thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
4 [626] But thou shalt go [627] 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 [628] took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, [629] Unto thy seed will I give this land; [630] 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 [631] 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; ‖‖ Or, and. [632] for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto [633] 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 †† Heb. that women which draw water go forth. [634] that women go out to draw water.
12 ¶ And he said, [635] O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, [636] send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.
13 Behold, [637] I stand here by the well of water; [638] 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 [639] 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 [640] Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
16 And the damsel [641] was †† Heb. good of countenance. 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 [642] 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 [643] 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 [644] ‖‖ Or, jewel for the forehead. 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 father's house for us to lodge in?
24 And she said unto him, [645] 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 [646] bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD.
27 And he said, [647] Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of [648] his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the LORD [649] led me to the house of my master's brethren.
28 And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother's house these things.
29 ¶ And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was [650] 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 sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well.
31 And he said, Come in, [651] 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 [652] gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men's feet that were with him.
33 And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, [653] I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.
34 ¶ And he said, I am Abraham's servant.
35 And the LORD [654] 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 master's wife [655] bare a son to my master when she was old: and [656] unto him hath he given all that he hath.
37} And my master [657] 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 [658] But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.
39 [659] And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.
40 [660] And he said unto me, The LORD, [661] before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house:
41 [662] 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, [663] O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:
43 [664] 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 master's son.
45 [665] And before I had done [666] 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, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I [667] put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.
48 [668] 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 [669] my master's brother's daughter unto his son.
49 And now if ye will [670] 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, [671] The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot [672] speak unto thee bad or good.
51 Behold, Rebekah [673] is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken.
52 And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he [674] worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth.
53 And the servant brought forth †† Heb. vessels. [675] jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother [676] 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, [677] Send me away unto my master.
55 And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us ‖‖ Or, a full year, or ten months.
Judg. 14. 8. 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 [678] her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.
60 And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou [679] the mother of thousands of millions, and [680] 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 [681] well Lahai-roi; for he dwelt in the south country.
63 And Isaac went out ‖‖ Or, to pray. [682] 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, [683] 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 Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac [684] was comforted after his mother's death.
CHAP. XXV.
1 The sons of Abraham by Keturah. 5 The division of his goods. 7 His age, death, and burial. 11 God blesseth Isaac. 12 The generations of Ishmael, his age, and death. 19 Isaac's descent and alliance by marriage. 21 Rebekah being barren, he prayeth for her; she conceiveth; the children strive in her womb, which is a token of the future fortunes of their posterity. 24 The birth of Esau and Jacob. 27 The difference of their life and manners. 29 Esau selleth his birthright to Jacob.
cir. 1853.Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.
2 And [685] 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 [686] Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
6 But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and [687] sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto [688] the east country.
71822. ¶ And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.
8 Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and [689] died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and [690] was gathered to his people.
9 And [691] 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 [692] The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: [693] 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 [694] well Lahai-roi.
12 ¶ Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, [695] whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham:
13cir. 1800. And [696] 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 ‖‖ Or, Hadad, 1 Chron. 1. 30. 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; [697] twelve princes according to their nations.
171773. And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and [698] he gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered unto his people.
18 [699] And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: and he †† Heb. fell, Ps. 78. 64. died [700] in the presence of all his brethren.
19 ¶ And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: [701] Abraham begat Isaac:
201857. And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, [702] the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-aram, [703] the sister to Laban the Syrian.
211838. ¶ And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: [704] and the LORD was intreated of him, and [705] Rebekah his wife conceived.
22 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? [706] And she went to enquire of the LORD.
23 And the LORD said unto her, [707] Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and [708] the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and [709] 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, [710] all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
261837. And after that came his brother out, and [711] his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and [712] his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.
27 ¶ And the boys grew: and Esau was [713] a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was [714] a plain man, [715] dwelling in tents.
28 And Isaac loved Esau, because †† Heb. venison was in his mouth. he did [716] eat of his venison: [717] 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, †† Heb. with that red, with that red pottage. with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called ‖‖ That is, red. Edom.
31 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
32cir. 1805. And Esau said, Behold, I am †† Heb. going to die. 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 [718] he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and [719] he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.
CHAP. XXVI.
1 Isaac because of famine goeth to Gerar. 2 God instructieth and blesseth him. 6 He denieth his wife, and is reproved by Abimelech. 12 He growetb rich, and the Philistines envy him. 18 He digged sundry wells. 23 God appeared to him in Beer-sheba, and blesseth him. 26 Abimelech maketh a covenant with him there. 34 Esau's Canaanitish wives are a grief to his parents.
cir. 1804.And there was a famine in the land, beside [720] the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto [721] Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.
2 ¶ And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell [722] in the land which I shall tell thee of:
3 [723] Sojourn in this land, and [724] I will be with thee, and [725] will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, [726] I will give all these countries, and I will perform [727] the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;
4 And [728] I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; [729] and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
5 [730] 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 [731] he said, She is my sister: for [732] he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she [733] 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 [734] thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us.
11 And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that [735] toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
12 ¶ Then Isaac sowed in that land, and †† Heb. found. received in the same year [736] an hundredfold: and the LORD [737] blessed him.
13 And the man [738] waxed great, and †† Heb. went going. went forward, and grew until he became very great:
14 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store ‖‖ Or, husbandry. of servants: and the Philistines [739] envied him.
15 For all the wells [740] which his father's 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 [741] 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: [742] and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
19 And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of †† Heb. living. springing water.
20 And the herdmen of Gerar [743] did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well ‖‖ That is, Contention. Esek; because they strove with him.
21 And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it ‖‖ That is, Hatred. Sitnah.
22 And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it ‖‖ That is, Room. Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall [744] be fruitful in the land.
23 ¶ And he went up from thence to Beer-sheba.
24 And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, [745] I am the God of Abraham thy father: [746] fear not, for [747] I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake.
25 And he [748] builded an altar there, and [749] called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac's servants digged a well.
26 ¶ Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, [750] and Phichol the chief captain of his army.
27 And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing [751] ye hate me, and have [752] sent me away from you?
28 And they said, †† Heb. Seeing we saw. We saw certainly that the LORD [753] 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 †† Heb. If thou shalt, &c. 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: [754] thou art now the blessed of the LORD.
30 [755] And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.
31 And they rose up betimes in the morning, and [756] 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 Isaac's 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 ‖‖ That is, an oath. Shebah: [757] therefore the name of the city is ‖‖ That is, the well of the oath. Beer-sheba unto this day.
341796. ¶ [758] 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 [759] were †† Heb. bitterness of spirit. a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
CHAP. XXVII.
1 Isaac sendeth Esau for venison. 6 Rebekah instructeth Jacob to obtain the blessing. 18 Jacob under the person of Esau obtaineth it. 30 Esau bringeth venison; Isaac is alarmed, but confirmeth the blessing to Jacob. 34 Esau complaineth, and by importunity obtaineth a blessing. 41 He threateneth Jacob's life, 42 whom Rebekah sendeth away.
cir. 1760.And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and [760] 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 [761] know not the day of my death:
3 [762] Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and †† Heb. hunt. 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 [763] 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, [764] 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 [765] 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 [766] may bless thee before his death.
11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, [767] Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:
12 My father peradventure will [768] feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring [769] a curse upon me, and not a blessing.
13 And his mother said unto him, [770] 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 [771] made savoury meat, such as his father loved.
15 And Rebekah took †† Heb. desirable. [772] 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 firstborn; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, [773] 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 †† Heb. before me. to me.
21 And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I [774] 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 Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.
23 And he discerned him not, because [775] his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's 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 son's venison, [776] 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, [777] the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed:
28 Therefore [778] God give thee of [779] the dew of heaven, and [780] the fatness of the earth, and [781] plenty of corn and wine:
29 [782] Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and [783] let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: [784] 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 [785] eat of his son's 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 †† Heb. trembled with a great trembling greatly. trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where is he that hath †† Heb. bunted. taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea, [786] and he shall be blessed.
34 ¶ And when Esau heard the words of his father, [787] 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, [788] Is not he rightly named ‖‖ That is, a supplanter. Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times: [789] 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, [790] Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and [791] with corn and wine have I ‖‖ Or supported. 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, [792] and wept.
39 And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, [793] thy dwelling shall be ‖‖ Or, of the fatness. the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above;
40 And by thy sword shalt thou live, and [794] shalt serve thy brother; and [795] it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.
41 ¶ And Esau [796] hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, [797] The days of mourning for my father are at hand; [798] 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 [799] comfort himself, purposing to kill thee.
43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; and arise, flee thou to Laban my brother [800] to Haran;
44 And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's fury turn away;
45 Until thy brother's anger turn away from thee, and he forget that which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch thee from thence: why should I be deprived also of you both in one day?
46 And Rebekah said to Isaac, [801] I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: [802] 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?
CHAP. XXVIII.
1 Jacob receiveth from Isaac a charge and blessing, and goeth to Padan-aram. 6 Esau marrieth a daughter of Ishmael. 10 The vision of Jacob's ladder; he receiveth a promise from God in a dream. 16 He awaketh, and setteth up the stone at Beth-el. 20 His vow.
1760.And Isaac called Jacob, and [803] blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, [804] Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
2 [805] Arise, go to [806] Padan-aram, to the house of [807] Bethuel thy mother's father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of [808] Laban thy mother's brother.
3 [809] And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be †† Heb. an assembly of people. a multitude of people;
4 And give thee [810] the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land †† Heb. of thy sojournings. [811] wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.
5 And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padan-aram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
6 ¶ When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padan-aram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;
7 And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padan-aram;
8 And Esau seeing [812] that the daughters of Canaan †† Heb. were evil in the eyes, &c. pleased not Isaac his father;
9cir. 1760. Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had [813] Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, [814] the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife.
10 ¶ And Jacob [815] went out from Beer-sheba, and went toward [816] 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 [817] dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold [818] the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
13 [819] And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, [820] I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: [821] the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;
14 And [822] thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt †† Heb. break forth. spread abroad [823] to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and [824] in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
15 And, behold, [825] I am with thee, and will [826] keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will [827] bring thee again into this land; for [828] I will not leave thee, [829] 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 [830] 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 [831] set it up for a pillar, [832] and poured oil upon the top of it.
19 And he called the name of [833] that place ‖‖ That is, the house of God. Beth-el: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.
20 ¶ [834] And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, [835] If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me [836] bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
21 So that [837] I come again to my father's house in peace; [838] then shall the LORD be my God:
22 And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, [839] shall be God's house: [840] and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
CHAP. XXIX.
1 Jacob cometh to the well of Haran, 9 meeteth Rachel, maketh himself known to her, and is entertained by Laban, 15 whom be covenanteth to serve for Rachel. 21 He is deceived with Leah; 28 marrieth Rachel also, and serveth for her seven years more. 31 Leah is fruitful, and beareth Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah.
Then Jacob †† Heb. lift up his feet. went on his journey, [841] and came into the land of the †† Heb. children. 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 well's mouth.
3 And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well's mouth in his place.
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, †† Heb. Is there peace to him? [842] Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.
7 And he said, Lo, ‖† Heb. yet the day is great. 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 well's mouth; then we water the sheep.
9 ¶ And while he yet spake with them, [843] Rachel came with her father's sheep: for she kept them.
10 And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and [844] rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.
11 And Jacob [845] kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
12 And Jacob told Rachel that he was [846] her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son: [847] and she ran and told her father.
13 And it came to pass, when Laban heard the †† Heb. bearing. tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that [848] 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, [849] Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him †† Heb. a month of days. 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, [850] 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 [851] served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.
211753. ¶ And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may [852] go in unto her.
22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and [853] 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, †† Heb. place. to give the younger before the firstborn.
27 [854] 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 [855] loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him [856] yet seven other years.
31 ¶ And when the LORD [857] saw that Leah was hated, he [858] opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.
32cir. 1752. And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name ‖‖ That is, see a son. Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath [859] looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.
33cir. 1751. And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard that I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name ‖‖ That is, hearing. Simeon.
34cir. 1750. 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 ‖‖ That is, joined.
See Num 18. 2, 4. Levi.

CHAP. XXX.
1 Rachel in grief for her barrenness giveth her maid Bilhah unto Jacob. 5 Bilhah beareth Dan and Naphtali. 9 Leah giveth Zilpah her maid, who beareth Gad and Asher. 14 Reuben findeth mandrakes, for which Rachel yieldeth her husband to Leah. 17 Leah beareth Issachar, Zebulun, and Dinah. 22 Rachel beareth Joseph. 25 Jacob desireth to depart, but is retained by Laban on a new agreement. 37 Jacob's policy, whereby he becometh rich.
cir. 1749.And when Rachel saw that [861] she bare Jacob no children, Rachel [862] envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, [863] or else I die.
2 And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, [864] Am I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?
3 And she said, Behold [865] my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; [866] and she shall bear upon my knees, [867] that I may also †† Heb. be built by her. have children by her.
4 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid [868] to wife: and Jacob went in unto her.
5cir. 1748. ¶ And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.
6 And Rachel said, God hath [869] judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name ‖‖ That is, judging. Dan.
7cir. 1747. And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son.
8 And Rachel said, With †† Heb. wrestlings of God.
ch. 23. 6. great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name ‖‖ That is, my wrestling. [870] Naphtali.
9cir. 1749. ¶ When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and [871] gave her Jacob to wife.
10cir. 1748. And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son.
11 And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name ‖‖ That is, a troop, or, company.

13 And Leah said, †† Heb. In my happiness. Happy am I, for the daughters [872] will call me blessed: and she called his name ‖‖ That is, happy. Asher.
14cir. 1748. ¶ 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, [873] Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes.
15 And she said unto her, [874] Is it a small matter that thou hast taken my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to night for thy son's mandrakes.
16 And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto me; for surely I have hired thee with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.
17cir. 1747. ¶ 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 ‖‖ That is, an hire. Issachar.
19 And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son.
20cir. 1746. 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 ‖‖ That is, dwelling. [875] Zebulun.
21 And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name ‖‖ That is, judgment. Dinah.
22 ¶ And God [876] remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and [877] opened her womb.
23cir. 1745. And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away [878] my reproach:
24 And she called his name ‖‖ That is, adding. Joseph; and said, [879] The LORD shall add to me another son.
25 ¶ And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, [880] Send me away, that I may go unto [881] mine own place, and to my country.
26 Give me my wives and my children, [882] 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 [883] I have learned by experience that the LORD hath blessed me [884] for thy sake.
28 And he said, [885] Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it.
29 And he said unto him, [886] 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 †† Heb. broken forth.
ver. 43. increased unto a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee †† Heb. at my foot. since my coming: and now when shall I [887] 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 [888] of such shall be my hire.
33 So shall my [889] righteousness answer for me †† Heb. to morrow.
Exod. 13. 14. 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 Laban's flocks.
37 ¶ And [890] 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 Laban's 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 Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
43 And the man [891] increased exceedingly, and [892] had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.

1 Jacob is regarded with an evil eye by Laban and his sons; 3 is commanded by God to return to his own land, and proposeth his departure to his wives. 11 He removeth secretly with his family and substance Rachel stealeth her father's images. 22 Laban pursueth after him; is warned of God, and overtaking Jacob complaineth of the wrong. 31 Jacob, ignorant of the theft, permitteth Laban to search for the images, Rachel's policy to hide them. 36 Jacob's complaint of Laban. 43 The covenant of Jacob and Laban: Laban returneth home.
1739.And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was our father's hath he gotten all this [893] glory.
2 And Jacob beheld [894] the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not [895] toward him †† Heb. as yesterday and the day before.
1 Sam. 19. 7. as before.
3 ¶ And the LORD said unto Jacob, [896] 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, [897] I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father [898] hath been with me.
6 And [899] ye know that with all my power I have served your father.
7 And your father hath deceived me, and [900] changed my wages [901] ten times; but God [902] suffered him not to hurt me.
8 If he said thus, [903] 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 [904] 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 ‖‖ Or, he goats. rams which leaped upon the cattle were ringstraked, speckled, and grisled.
11 And [905] 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 [906] I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.
13 I am the God of Beth-el, [907] where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now [908] 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, [909] Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
15 Are we not counted of him strangers? for [910] 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 our's, and our children's: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do.
171739. ¶ 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 Padan-aram, 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 †† Heb. teraphim.
Judg. 17. 5.
1 Sam. 19. 13.
Hos. 3. 4. [911] images that were her father's.
20 And Jacob stole away †† Heb. the heart of Laban. 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 [912] 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 [913] his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead.
24 And God [914] came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou [915] speak not to Jacob †† Heb. from good to bad. 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 [916] carried away my daughters, as captives taken with the sword?
27 Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and †† Heb. hast stolen me. 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 [917] to kiss my sons and my daughters? [918] thou hast now done foolishly in so doing.
29 It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the [919] God of your father spake unto me [920] 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 father's house, yet wherefore hast thou [921] 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, [922] 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 Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two maidservants' tents; but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
34 Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel's furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban †† Heb. felt. searched all the tent, but found them not.
35 And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I cannot [923] 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 [924] That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of [925] 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 [926] served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and [927] six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times.
42 [928] Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and [929] the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. [930] God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and [931] 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, [932] let us make a covenant, I and thou; [933] and let it be for a witness between me and thee.
45 And Jacob [934] 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 ‖‖ That is, the heap of witness. Chald. Jegar-sahadutha: but Jacob called it ‖‖ That is, the heap of witness. Heb. Galeed.
48 And Laban said, [935] This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed;
49 And [936] ‖‖ That is, a beacon, or, watchtower. 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, [937] judge betwixt us. And Jacob [938] sware by [939] the fear of his father Isaac.
54 Then Jacob ‖‖ Or, killed beasts. 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 [940] blessed them: and Laban departed, and [941] returned unto his place.
CHAP. XXXII.
1 Jacob's vision at Mahanaim. 3 His message to Esau. 6 He is afraid of Esau's coming, 9 and frayeth for deliverance. 13 He sendeth a present to Esau; 24 wrestleth with an angel at Peniel, and is called Israel. 31 He halteth.
And Jacob went on his way, and [942] the angels of God met him.
2 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's [943] host: and he called the name of that place ‖‖ That is, two hosts, or, camps. Mahanaim.
3 ¶ And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother [944] unto the land of Seir, [945] the †† Heb. field. country of Edom.
4 And he commanded them, saying, [946] 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 [947] I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that [948] I may find grace in thy sight.
6 ¶ And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also [949] he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and [950] 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 ¶ [951] And Jacob said, [952] O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD [953] which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:
10 †† Heb. I am less than all, &c. I am not worthy of the least of all the [954] mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with [955] my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
11 [956] 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 [957] the mother †† Heb. upon. with the children.
12 And [958] 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 [959] 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 Jacob's; 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 [960] appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept †† Heb. my face.
Job 42. 8, 9. 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, [961] and passed over the ford Jabbok.
23 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and †† Heb. caused to pass. sent over that he had.
24 ¶ And Jacob was left alone; and there [962] wrestled a man with him until the †† Heb. ascending of the morning. breaking of the day.
25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and [963] the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
26 And [964] he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, [965] 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, [966] Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but ‖‖ That is, a prince of God. Israel: for as a prince hast thou [967] power with God and [968] with men, and hast prevailed.
29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, [969] Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
30 And Jacob called the name of the place ‖‖ That is, the face of God. Peniel: for [970] 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 Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.
CHAP. XXXIII.
1 The kindness of Jacob and Esau at their meeting. 17 Jacob cometh to Succoth. 18 At Shalem he buyeth a field, and buildeth an altar called El-elohe-Israel.
And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, [971] 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 [972] bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
4 [973] And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, [974] 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 †† Heb. to thee. with thee? And he said, The children [975] 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, †† Heb. What is all this band to thee? What meanest thou by [976] all this drove which I met? And he said, These are [977] to find grace in the sight of my lord.
9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; †† Heb. be that to thee that is thine. 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 [978] have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me.
11 Take, I pray thee, [979] my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have †† Heb. all things.
Phil. 4. 18. enough. [980] 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 †† Heb. according to the foot of the work, &c. and according to the foot of the children. as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord [981] unto Seir.
15 And Esau said, Let me now †† Heb. set, or, place. leave with thee some of the folk that are with me. And he said, †† Heb. Wherefore is this? What needeth it? [982] 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 [983] Succoth, and built him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called ‖‖ That is, booths. Succoth.
18 ¶ And Jacob came to [984] Shalem, a city of ‖‖ Called, Acts 7. 16. Sychem. [985] Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padan-aram; and pitched his tent before the city.
19 And [986] he bought a parcel of a field, where he h0ad spread his tent, at the hand of the children of ‖‖ Called, Acts 7. 16, Emmor, Hamor, Shechem's father, for an hundred ‖‖ Or, lembs. pieces of money.
20 And he erected there an altar, and [987] called it ‖‖ That is, God the God of Israel. El-elohe-Israel.

1 Dinah is ravished by Shechem. 4 He sueth to marry her. 13 The sons of Jacob offer the condition of circumcision to the Shechemites. 20 Hamor and Shechem persuade them to accept it. 25 The sons of Jacob taking advantage thereof slay them and spoil their city. 30 Jacob reproveth Simeon and Levi.
cir. 1732.And [988] Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, [989] went out to see the daughters of the land.
2 And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, [990] saw her, he [991] took her, and lay with her, and †† Heb. humbled her.
Deut. 22. 29. defiled her.
3 And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake †† Heb. to the heart of the damsel.
See Isai. 40. 2.
Hos. 2. 14. kindly unto the damsel.
4 ¶ And Shechem [992] 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 [993] 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 [994] were very wroth, because he [995] had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter; [996] 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 [997] the land shall be before you; dwell and [998] trade ye therein, and [999] 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 [1000] 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 [1001] 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 [1002] 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 Hamor's son.
19 And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter: and he was [1003] 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 their's 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 [1004] 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, [1005] Simeon and Levi, Dinah's 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 †† Heb. mouth. edge of the ſword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's 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, [1006] Ye have [1007] troubled me [1008] to make me to ſtink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: [1009] 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?

1 God commandeth Jacob to go to Beth-el; he purgeth his houſe of idolſ; 6 and buildeth an altar at Beth-el. 8 Deborah Rebekah's nurſe dieth, and is buried under an oak. 9 God again bleſſeth Jacob, and confirmeth to him the name of Iſrael, and the promiſe of the land of Canaan. 14 Jacob ſetteth up a pillar at Beth-el. 16 Rachel travailing of Benjamin dieth near Bethlehem, and is buried there. 22 Reuben lieth with Bilhah.

And God ſaid unto Jacob, Ariſe, go up to [1010] Beth-el, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, [1011] that appeared unto thee [1012] when thou fleddeſt from the face of Eſau thy brother.
2 Then Jacob ſaid unto his [1013] houſhold, and to all that were with him, Put away [1014] the ſtrange gods that are among you, and [1015] be clean, and change your garments:
3 And let us ariſe, and go up to Beth-el; and I will make there an altar unto God, [1016] who anſwered me in the day of my diſtreſs, [1017] 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 [1018] earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under [1019] the oak which was by Shechem.
5 And they journeyed: and [1020] 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 [1021] Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Beth-el, he and all the people that were with him.
7 And he [1022] built there an altar, and called the place ‖‖ That is, The God of Beth-el. El-beth-el: becauſe [1023] there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother.
8 ¶ But [1024] Deborah Rebekah's nurſe died, and ſhe was buried beneath Beth-el under an oak: and the name of it was called ‖‖ That is, the oak of weeping. Allon-bachuth.
9 ¶ And [1025] God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padan-aram, and bleſſed him.
10 And God ſaid unto him, Thy name is Jacob: [1026] thy name ſhall not be called any more Jacob, [1027] but Iſrael ſhall be thy name: and he called his name Iſrael.
11 And God ſaid unto him, [1028] I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; [1029] a nation and a company of nations ſhall be of thee, and kings ſhall come out of thy loins;
12 And the land [1030] 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 [1031] went up from him in the place where he talked with him.
14 ¶ And Jacob [1032] 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 [1033] called the name of the place where God ſpake with him, Beth-el.
16 ¶ And they journeyed from Beth-el; and there was but †† Heb. a little piece of ground.

19 And [1035] Rachel died, and was buried in the way to [1036] Ephrath, which is Beth-lehem.
20 And Jacob ſet a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave [1037] unto this day.
21 And Iſrael journeyed, and ſpread his tent beyond [1038] the tower of Edar.
22 ¶ And it came to paſs when Iſrael dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and [1039] lay with Bilhah his father's concubine: and Iſrael heard it. Now the ſons of Jacob were twelve:
23 The ſons of Leah; [1040] Reuben, Jacob's firſtborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Iſſachar, and Zebulun:
24 The ſons of Rachel; Joſeph, and Benjamin:

26 And the ſons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid; Gad, and Aſher: theſe are the ſons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padan-aram.
27 ¶ And Jacob came unto Iſaac his father unto [1041] Mamre, unto the [1042] city of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Iſaac ſojourned.
28 ¶ And the days of Iſaac were an hundred and fourſcore years.

1 The hiſtory of Joſeph, who is hated of his brethren. 5 His firſt dream. 9 His ſecond dream. 12 Jacob ſendeth him to viſit his brethren. 18 They conſpire his death, but Reuben ſaveth him. 23 He is caſt into a pit, and afterwards taken out, and fold to the Iſhmeelites. 29 Reuben, not finding him in the pit, is ſorely grieved. 31 Jacob deceived by the bloody coat mourneth for him. 36 He is ſold to Potiphar in Egypt.
And Jacob dwelt in the land †† Heb. of his father's ſojournings. [1062] wherein his father was a ſtranger, in the land of Canaan.
21729. Theſe are the generations of Jacob. Joſeph, being ſeventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the ſons of Bilhah, and with the ſons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joſeph brought unto his father [1063] their evil report.
3 Now Iſrael loved Joſeph more than all his children, becauſe he was [1064] the ſon of his old age: and he made him a coat of many ‖‖ Or, pieces.

4 And when his brethren ſaw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they [1065] 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, [1066] 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, [1067] 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 [1068] thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourſelves to thee to the earth?
11 And [1069] his brethren envied him; but his father [1070] obſerved the ſaying.
12cir. 1729. ¶ And his brethren went to feed their father's 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, †† Heb. ſee the peace of thy brethren, &c.
ch. 29. 6. 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 [1071] 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: [1072] 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 [1073] Dothan.
18 ¶ And when they ſaw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, [1074] they conſpired againſt him to ſlay him.
19 And they ſaid one to another, Behold, this †† Heb. maſter of dreams. dreamer cometh.
20 [1075] 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 [1076] 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 ‖‖ Or, pieces. 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 [1077] And they ſat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of [1078] Iſhmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing ſpicery and [1079] 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 [1080] conceal his blood?
27 Come, and let us ſell him to the Iſhmeelites, and [1081] let not our hand be upon him; for he is [1082] our brother and [1083] our fleſh. And his brethren †† Heb. hearkened. were content.
28 Then there paſſed by [1084] Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joſeph out of the pit, [1085] and ſold Joſeph to the Iſhmeelites for [1086] 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 [1087] rent his clothes.
30 And he returned unto his brethren, and ſaid, The child [1088] is not; and I, whither ſhall I go?
31 ¶ And they took [1089] Joſeph's 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 ſon's coat or no.
33 And he knew it, and ſaid, It is my ſon's coat; an [1090] evil beaſt hath devoured him; Joſeph is without doubt rent in pieces.
34 And Jacob [1091] 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 [1092] roſe up to comfort him; but he refuſed to be comforted; and he ſaid, [1093] For I will go down into the grave unto my ſon mourning. Thus his father wept for him.
36 ¶ And [1094] the Midianites ſold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an †† Heb. eunuch: But the word doth ſignify not only eunuchs, but alſo chamberlains, courtiers, and officers.

1 Judah begetteth Er, Onan, and Shelah. 6 Er marrieth Tamar, and dieth. Onan's treſpaſs and death. Tamar ſlayeth for Shelah. 12 She deceiveth Judah; 27 to whom ſhe beareth twins, Pharez and Zarah.
And it came to paſs at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and [1095] turned in to a certain Adullamite, whoſe name was Hirah.
2 And Judah [1096] ſaw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whoſe name was [1097] Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her.
3 And ſhe conceived, and bare a ſon; and he called his name [1098] Er.
4cir. 1727. And ſhe conceived again, and bare a ſon; and ſhe called his name [1099] Onan.
5 And ſhe yet again conceived, and bare a ſon; and called his name [1100] Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when ſhe bare him.
6 ¶ And Judah [1101] took a wife for Er his firſtborn, whoſe name was Tamar.
7 And [1102] Er, Judah's firſtborn, was wicked in the ſight of the LORD; [1103] and the LORD ſlew him.
8 And Judah ſaid unto Onan, Go in unto [1104] thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raiſe up ſeed to thy brother.
9 And Onan knew that the ſeed ſhould not be [1105] his; and it came to paſs when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he ſpilled it on the ground, leſt that he ſhould give ſeed to his brother.
10 And the thing which he did †† Heb. was evil in the eyes of the LORD. diſpleaſed the LORD: wherefore he ſlew [1106] him alſo.
11 Then ſaid Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, [1107] Remain a widow at thy father's houſe, till Shelah my ſon be grown: for he ſaid, Leſt peradventure he die alſo, as his brethren did. And Tamar went and dwelt [1108] in her father's houſe.
12 ¶ And †† Heb. the days were multiplied. in proceſs of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife died; and Judah [1109] 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 [1110] to Timnath to ſhear his ſheep.
14 And ſhe [1111] put her widow's garments off from her, and covered her with a vail, and [1112] wrapped herſelf, and ſat in †† Heb. the door of eyes or, of Enajim. an open place, which is by the way to Timnath; for ſhe ſaw [1113] 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, [1114] I will ſend thee †† Heb. a kid of the goats. a kid from the flock. And ſhe ſaid, [1115] Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou ſend it?
18 And he ſaid, What pledge ſhall I give thee? And ſhe ſaid, [1116] 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 [1117] 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 woman's hand: but he found her not.
21 Then he aſked the men of that place, ſaying, Where is the harlot, that was ‖‖ Or, in Enajim. 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 †† Heb. become a contempt. 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 [1118] played the harlot; and alſo, behold, ſhe is with child by whoredom. And Judah ſaid, Bring her forth, [1119] 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, [1120] Diſcern, I pray thee, whoſe are theſe, [1121] the ſignet, and bracelets and ſtaff.
26 And Judah [1122] acknowledged them, and ſaid, [1123] She hath been more righteous than I; becauſe that [1124] I gave her not to Shelah my ſon. And he knew her again [1125] 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, ‖‖ Or, Wherefore haſt thou made this breach againſt thee? How haſt thou broken forth? this breach be upon thee: therefore his name was called ‖‖ That is, a breach. [1126] Pharez.
30 And afterward came out his brother, that had the ſcarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah.
CHAP. XXXIX.
1 Joſeph is advanced in Potiphar's houſe. 7 He reſiſteth his miſtreſs's temptation, is falſely accuſed by her, and caſt in priſon. 21 God is with him there.
And Joſeph was brought down to Egypt; and [1127] Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, [1128] bought him of the hands of the Iſhmeelites which had brought him down thither.
2 And [1129] 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 [1130] made all that he did to proſper in his hand.
4 And Joſeph [1131] found grace in his ſight, and he ſerved him: and he made him [1132] 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 [1133] the LORD bleſſed the Egyptian's houſe for Joſeph's ſake; and the bleſſing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the houſe, and in the field.
6 And he left all that he had in Joſeph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, ſave the bread which he did eat. And Joſeph [1134] was a goodly perſon, and well favoured.
7 ¶ And it came to paſs after theſe things that his maſter's wife caſt her eyes upon Joſeph; and ſhe ſaid, [1135] Lie with me.
8 But he refuſed, and ſaid unto his maſter's wife, Behold, my maſter wotteth not what is with me in the houſe, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;
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: [1136] how then can I do this great wickedneſs and [1137] 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 [1138] 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 †† Heb. great. 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 [1139] 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 [1140] wrath was kindled.
20 And Joſeph's maſter took him, and [1141] put him into the [1142] priſon, a place where the king's priſoners were bound: and he was there in the priſon.
21 ¶ But the LORD was with Joſeph, and †† Heb. extended kindneſs unto him. ſhewed him mercy, and [1143] gave him favour in the ſight of the keeper of the priſon.
22 And the keeper of the priſon [1144] committed to Joſeph's 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 [1145] the LORD was with him, and that which he did, the LORD made it to proſper.

1 Pharaoh's butler and baker in priſon are committed to Joſeph's charge. 5 He interpreteth their dreams, 20 which come to paſs according to Joſeph's interpretation. 23 The ingratitude of the butler.
Andcir. 1720. it came to paſs after theſe things, that the [1146] butler of the king of Egypt and his baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt.
2 And Pharaoh was [1147] wroth againſt two of his officers againſt the chief of the butlers and againſt the chief of the bakers.
3 [1148] 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 Pharaoh's officers that were with him in the ward of his lord's houſe, ſaying, Wherefore †† Heb. are your faces evil?
Neh. 2. 2. look ye ſo ſadly to day?
8 And they ſaid unto him, [1149] We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joſeph ſaid unto them, [1150] 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 Pharaoh's cup was in my hand: and I took the grapes and preſſed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
12 And Joſeph ſaid unto him, [1151] This is the interpretation of it: The three branches [1152] are three days:
13 Yet within three days ſhall Pharaoh [1153] ‖‖ Or, reckon. lift up thine head, and reſtore thee unto thy place: and thou ſhalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou waſt his butler.
14 But †† Heb. remember me with thee. [1154] think on me when it ſhall be well with thee, and [1155] 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: [1156] 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 ‖‖ Or, full of holes. white baſkets on my head:
17 And in the uppermoſt baſket there was of all manner of †† Heb. meat of Pharaoh, the work of a baker, or cook. bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the baſket upon my head.
18 And Joſeph anſwered and ſaid, [1157] This is the interpretation thereof: The three baſkets are three days:
19 [1158] Yet within three days ſhall Pharaoh ‖‖ Or, reckon thee, and take thy office from thee. 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 Pharaoh's [1159] birthday, that he [1160] made a feaſt unto all his ſervants: and he [1161] ‖‖ Or, reckoned. lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his ſervants.
21 And he [1162] reſtored the chief butler unto his butlerſhip again; and [1163] he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:
22 But he [1164] hanged the chief baker: as Joſeph had interpreted to them.
23 ¶ Yet did not the chief butler remember Joſeph, but [1165] forgat him.
CHAP. XLI.
1 Pharaoh's two dreams. 9 His butler telleth Joſeph. 14 Pharaoh ſendeth for and conſulteth him. 25 He interpreted the dreams, and giveth Pharaoh counſel. 38 Joſeph is advanced, and marrieth an Egyptian wife. 46 His wife proviſion in the years of plenty. 50 Ephraim and Manaſſeh are born to him. 53 The famine beginneth.
And1715. it came to paſs at the end of two full years that Pharaoh [1166] 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, †† Heb. fat. 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 [1167] that his ſpirit was troubled; and he ſent and called for all [1168] the magicians of Egypt, and all the [1169] 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 [1170] wroth with his ſervants, [1171] and put me in ward in the captain of the guard's houſe, both me and the chief baker:
11 And [1172] 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, [1173] ſervant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he [1174] interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.
13 And it came to paſs, [1175] as he interpreted to us ſo it was; me he reſtored unto mine office, and him he hanged.
14 ¶ [1176] Then Pharaoh ſent and called Joſeph, and they [1177] †† Heb. made him run. brought him haſtily [1178] 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: [1179] and I have heard ſay of thee, that ‖‖ Or thou canſt underſtand a dream to interpret it.
16 And Joſeph anſwered Pharaoh, ſaying, [1180] It is not in me: [1181] 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 †† Heb. come to the inward parts of them. 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, ‖‖ Or, ſmall. withered, thin, and blaſted with the eaſt wind, ſprung up after them:
24 And the thin ears devoured the ſeven good ears: and [1182] 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: [1183] 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 [1184] ſeven years of famine.
28 [1185] This is the thing which I have ſpoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he ſheweth unto Pharaoh.
29 Behold, there come [1186] ſeven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:
30 And there ſhall [1187] ariſe after them ſeven years of famine; and all the plenty ſhall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine [1188] 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 †† Heb. heavy. grievous.
32 And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is becauſe the [1189] ‖‖ Or, prepared of God. 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 ‖‖ Or, overſeers. officers over the land, and [1190] take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the ſeven plenteous years.
35 And [1191] 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 †† Heb. be not cut off. [1192] periſh not through the famine.
37 And [1193] 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 [1194] 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 [1195] Thou ſhalt be over my houſe, and according unto thy word ſhall all my people †† Heb. be armed, or, kiſs. be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.
41 And Pharaoh ſaid unto Joſeph, See, I have [1196] ſet thee over all the land of Egypt.
42 And Pharaoh [1197] took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joſeph's hand, and [1198] arrayed him in veſtures of ‖‖ Or, ſilk. fine linen, [1199] and put a gold chain about his neck;
43 And he made him to ride in the ſecond chariot which he had; [1200] and they cried before him, ‖‖ Or, Tender father.
ch. 45. 8. †† Heb. (illegible text) Bow the knee: and he made him ruler [1201] 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 Joſeph's name ‖‖ Which in the Coptic ſignifies, A revealer of ſecrets, or, The man to whom ſecrets are revealed. Zaphnath-paaneah; and he gave him to wife Aſenath the daughter of Poti-pherah ‖‖ Or, prince.

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 [1203] as the ſand of the ſea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number.
50 ¶ [1204] And unto Joſeph were born two ſons before the years of famine came, which Aſenath the daughter of Poti-pherah ‖‖ Or, prince,

53 ¶ And the ſeven years of plenteouſneſs that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.
541708. [1206] And the ſeven years of dearth began to come, [1207] 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 †† Heb. all wherein was. opened all the ſtorehouſes, and [1208] ſold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed ſore in the land of Egypt.
57 [1209] And all countries came into Egypt to Joſeph for to buy corn; becauſe that the famine was ſo ſore in all lands.
CHAP. XLII.
1 Jacob ſendeth ten of his ſons to buy corn in Egypt. 6 They are impriſoned by Joſeph for ſpies, but ſet at liberty on condition to bring Benjamin. 21 Their remorſe for Joſeph, who commandeth his tenderneſs, and detaineth Simeon for a pledge. 25 They return with corn and their money. 29 Their relation to Jacob. 35 He is afraid, and refuſeth to ſend Benjamin.
Now1707. when [1210] 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 [1211] live, and not die.
3 And Joſeph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.
4 But Benjamin, Joſeph's brother, Jacob ſent not with his brethren; for he ſaid, [1212] Leſt peradventure miſchief befall him.
5 And the ſons of Iſrael came to buy corn among thoſe that came: for the famine was [1213] in the land of Canaan.
6 ¶ And Joſeph was the governor [1214] over the land, and he it was that ſold to all the people of the land: and Joſeph's brethren came, and [1215] 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 †† Heb. hard things with them. 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 [1216] 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 man's 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 [1217] 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: [1218] 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 †† Heb. bound. 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 †† Heb. gathered. put them all together into ward three days.
18 And Joſeph ſaid unto them the third day, This do, and live; [1219] 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 [1220] 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, [1221] 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; [1222] therefore is this diſtreſs come upon us.
22 And Reuben anſwered them, ſaying, [1223] Spake I not unto you, ſaying, Do not ſin againſt the child; and ye would not hear? therefore, behold, alſo his blood is [1224] required.
23 And they knew not that Joſeph underſtood them; for †† Heb. an interpreter was between them. 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 man's money into his ſack, and to give them proviſion for the way: and [1225] thus did he unto them.
26 And they laded their aſſes with the corn, and departed thence.
27 And as [1226] one of them opened his ſack to give his aſs provender in the inn, he eſpied his money; for, behold, it was in his ſack's mouth.
28 And he ſaid unto his brethren, My money is reſtored; and, lo, it is even in my ſack: and their heart †† Heb. went forth. 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, [1227] ſpake †† Heb. with us bard things. 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, [1228] 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 [1229] traffick in the land.
35 ¶ And it came to paſs as they emptied their ſacks that, behold, [1230] every man's bundle of money was in his ſack: and when both they and their father ſaw the bundles of money, they were afraid.
36 And Jacob their father ſaid unto them, Me have ye [1231] 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 [1232] his brother is dead, and he is left alone: [1233] if miſchief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then ſhall ye [1234] bring down my gray hairs with ſorrow to the grave.
CHAP. XLIII.
1 Jacob is hardly perſuaded to ſend Benjamin. 15 Joſeph's brethren are brought into Joſeph's houſe. 19 They diſcover their fears to the ſteward, who pacifieth them. 26 Joſeph maketh them a feaſt.
And the famine was [1235] 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 †† Heb. proteſting proteſted. did ſolemnly proteſt unto us ſaying, Ye ſhall not ſee my face, except your [1236] 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 †† Heb. aſking aſked us. 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 †† Heb. mouth. tenor of theſe words: †† Heb. Knowing could we know? 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: [1237] 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 ‖‖ Or, twice by this. 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 [1238] carry down the man a preſent, a little [1239] balm, and a little honey, ſpices and myrrh, nuts and almonds:
12 And take double money in your hand; and the money [1240] 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. [1241] ‖‖ Or, and I, as I have been, &c. 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 [1242] ruler of his houſe, Bring theſe men home, and †† Heb. kill a killing.
1 Sam. 25. 11. ſlay, and make ready; for theſe men ſhall †† Heb. eat. dine with me at noon.
17 And the man did as Joſeph bade; and the man brought the men into Joſeph's houſe.
18 And the men were afraid, becauſe they were brought into Joſeph's houſe; and they ſaid, Becauſe of the money that was returned in our ſacks at the firſt time are we brought in; that he may †† Heb. roll himſelf up on us.
Job 30. 14. 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 Joſeph's houſe, and they communed with him at the door of the houſe,
20 And ſaid, O ſir, [1243] †† Heb. coming down we came down. we came indeed down at the firſt time to buy food:
21 And [1244] it came to paſs when we came to the inn, that we opened our ſacks and, behold, every man's money was in the mouth of his ſack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand.
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: †† Heb. your money came to me. I had your money. And he brought Simeon out unto them.
24 And the man brought the men into Joſeph's houſe, and [1245] 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 [1246] bowed themſelves to him to the earth.
27 And he aſked them of their †† Heb. peace.
ch. 37. 14. welfare, and ſaid, †† Heb. Is there peace to your father? Is your father well, the old man [1247] of whom ye ſpake? Is he yet alive?
28 And they anſwered, Thy ſervant our father is in good health, he is yet alive. [1248] And they bowed down their heads and made obeiſance.
29 And he lifted up his eyes and ſaw his brother Benjamin, [1249] his mother's ſon, and ſaid, Is this your younger brother, [1250] of whom ye ſpake unto me? And he ſaid, God be gracious unto thee, my ſon.
30 And Joſeph made haſte; for [1251] his bowels did yearn upon his brother: and he ſought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and [1252] wept there.
31 And he waſhed his face, and went out, and refrained himſelf, and ſaid, Set on [1253] 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 [1254] 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 Benjamin's meſs was [1255] five times ſo much as any of theirs. And they drank, and †† Heb. drank largely:
See Hag. 1. 6.

1 Joſeph's policy to ſlay his brethren. 6 His cup is found in Benjamin's ſack. 14 They are brought before Joſeph. 18 Judah's humble ſupplication to him.
And he commanded †† Heb. him that was over his houſe. the ſteward of his houſe, ſaying, Fill the men's ſacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's money in his ſack's mouth.
2 And put my cup, the ſilver cup, in the ſack's mouth of the youngeſt, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joſeph had ſpoken.
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 ‖‖ Or, maketh trial. 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, [1256] the money, which we found in our ſackſ' mouths we brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then ſhould we ſteal out of thy lord's houſe ſilver or gold?
9 With whomſoever of thy ſervants it be found, [1257] both let him die, and we alſo will be my lord's 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 Benjamin's ſack.
13 Then they [1258] rent their clothes and laded every man his aſs and returned to the city.
14 ¶ And Judah and his brethren came to Joſeph's houſe; for he was yet there: and they [1259] 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 ‖‖ Or, make trial.
ver. 5. 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, [1260] we are my lord's ſervants both we, and he alſo with whom the cup is found.
17 And he ſaid, [1261] 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 lord's ears, and [1262] 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 [1263] 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, [1264] 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 man's 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 lad's 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.
CHAP. XLV.
1 Joseph maketh himself known to his brethren; comforteth them in ascribing all that had past to God's providence; sendeth for his father by them; 14 and cordially embraceth them. 16 Pharaoh confirmeth Joseph's invitation. 21 Joseph furnisheth his brethren for their journey, and exhorteth them to concord. 25 Jacob at first hardly believeth, but is at length revived with the news.
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 children's 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 Benjamin's 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 Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's 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 Jacob's 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.
CHAP. XLVI.
1 Jacob is comforted by God at Beer-sheba. 5 He goeth thence with his family into Egypt. 8 The number of those that went with him. 28 Joseph meeteth Jacob. 31 He instructeth his brethren how to answer Pharaoh.
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, Jacob's firstborn.
9 And the sons of Reuben; Hanoch, and Phallu, and Hezron, and Carmi.
10 And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman.
11 And the sons of Levi; Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
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 and three.
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 Serah their sister: and the sons of Beriah; Heber, and Malchiel.
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 Jacob's wife; Joseph, and Benjamin.
20 And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him.
21 And the sons of Benjamin were Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard.
22 These are the sons of Rachel, which were born to Jacob: all the souls were fourteen.
23 And the sons of Dan; Hushim.
24 And the sons of Naphtali; Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shillem.
25 These are the sons of Bilhah, which Laban gave unto Rachel his daughter, and she bare these unto Jacob: all the souls were seven.
26 All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, which came out of his loins, besides Jacob's sons' wives, all the souls were threescore and six;
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 father's house, I will go up, and shew Pharaoh, and say unto him, My brethren, and my father's house, which were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me;
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.
CHAP. XLVII.
Joseph presenteth five of his brethren and his father before Pharaoh. 11 He giveth them habitation and maintenance. 13 He getteth all the money, cattle, and lands of the Egyptians, the land of the priests only excepted, for Pharaoh. 23 He letteth them the land again for the fifth of the increase. 27 Israel multiplieth in Goshen. 28 Jacob's age: he sweareth Joseph to bury him with his fathers.
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 moreover unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the land are we come; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks; for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.
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 father's 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 Pharaoh's 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 Pharaoh's.
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 Pharaoh's 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 Pharaoh's.
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 bed's head.
CHAP. XLVIII.
1 Joseph with his sons visiteth his sick father, who strengtheneth himself to bless them. 3 He repeateth God's promise; 3 taketh Ephraim and Manasseh as his own; and telleth Joseph of his mother's grave. 8 He blesseth Joseph's two sons with their father, and preferreth the younger before the elder. 21 Hi prophesieth their return to Canaan, in which he giveth Joseph a double portion.
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 Joseph's 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 Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near unto him.
14 And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn.
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 father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's 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.
CHAP. XLIX.
1 Jacob calleth his sons to bless them. 3 The blessing of Reuben; 5 Simeon and Levi; 8 Judah; 13 Zebulun; 14 Issachar; 16 Dan; 19 Gad; 20 Asher; 21 Naphtali; 22 Joseph; 27 and Benjamin. 29 He chargeth them about his burial, and dieth.
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 father's 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 father's children shall bow down before thee.
9 Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
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 ass's 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.
CHAP. L.
1 The mourning for Jacob. 4 Joseph getteth the field of Machpelah, which Abraham leave of Pharaoh to go to bury him. 7 The funeral. 14 Joseph returneth to Egypt with his brethren. 15 They sue to him for pardon before of the wrong they had done him; be comforteth them. 22 His age: he seeth the third generation of his sons. 24 He prophesieth unto his brethren of their return, and taketh an oath of them concerning his bones. 26 He dieth, and is put into a coffin.
And Joseph fell upon his father's 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,
8 And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father's house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.
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 Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him.
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 father's house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.
23 And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph's knees.
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.
The Second Book of MOSES, called EXODUS.
CHAP. I.
1 The children of Israel after Joseph's death multiply greatly. 8 They are oppressed by a new king, but multiply so much the more. 15 The piety of the midwives in saving the men children alive is rewarded by God. 22 Pharaoh commandeth the male children to be cast into the river.
Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob.
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
5 And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already.
6 And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.
8 ¶ Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.
9 And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:
10 Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.
11 Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.
12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.
13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour:
14 And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour.
15 ¶ And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:
16 And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.
17 But the midwives feared God, and
