THE FIRST BOOK OF MOSES, CALLED
GENESIS.
| the beginning =God -created the =heayen and rthe earth.
2 And the earth was without_form, and void; and darkness was upon the_ =face_of the deep. And the_Spirit_of =God /+moved upon the_=face_of the waters.
3 And =God said, “*Let_there_be light :” and 'there_was light. 3
+ And =God saw -the light, that it was good: and =God ‘divided ,»! the light «from 2 the darkness.
5 And =God called the light Day, and the darkness He -called Night. And tthe evening and ‘the morning were the first day.
6 And =God said, “*Let_there_be a e firmament in the_midst_of the waters, and Het_it +divide the waters from the waters.” .
7 And =God made -the « firmament, and ‘divided .2 the waters which’ were under the «firmament «from >the waters which were above the « firma- ment : and it Fwas so.
8 And =God tcalled the ¢ firmament h=Heaven. And tthe evening and ‘the morning were the second day.
® And =God said, “tLet the waters =heaven be_gathered_to- epee unto one place, and ‘let the dry
md appear :” and it twas so.
10 And =God tealled the dry land Earth ; and the gathering_together of the waters -called He seas: and =God saw that it was good.
1 And =God said, “tLet the earth bring_forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed és in itself, upon the earth:” and it_hwas so.
2 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 tthe evening and ‘the morn- ing were the third day.
+ And =God said, “'Let_there_be llights in the_efirmament_of the =heaven to divide ./the day «from be the night; and -let_them_be for Sighs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And «let_them_be for /lights in the_ efirmament_of the =heaven to give_ light upon the earth:” and it hwas so.
16 And =God Fmade -two great Txlights; the greater !%light to rule the day, and the lesser !*light to rule the night : He made -the stars also.
uv ae ee pet in es firma- ment_of the =heaven to give_light upon the earth, st
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide »6the light «from »>the darkness: and God saw that if was good.
19 And the evening and ‘the morning twere the fourth day.
2 And =God said, “'Let the waters bring_forth_abundantly the moying screature that_hath_life, and /fowl that ‘may_fly above the earth in the_ open ¢ firmament_of x=heaven.”
21 And =God created xgreat xwhales, and -every ~living screature x+that moveth, which the waters brought_ forth_abundantly, after their kind, and revery winged fowl after his kind: and =God saw that it was good.
2 And =God blessed them, saying, “-Be_fruitful, and -multiply, and -fill -the waters in the seas, and ‘let xfowl multiply in the earth.”
3 And tthe evening and ‘the morn- ing were the fifth day.
24 And =God said, “Let the earth bring_forth the living screature after his kind, cattle, and creeping_thing, and beast of the earth after his kind :” and it was so.
2 And =God made -the_beast_of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and ‘every thing_that_ creepeth upon the gearth after his kind: and =God saw that it was good.
26 And =God said, “'Let_us =make aman in our -image, after our —like- ness: and 'let_them_have_dominion over the_fish_of the sea, and over the_ fowl_of the =air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every xcreeping_thing «that creepeth upon the earth.”
27 So =God created «xXman in His own image, in the_image_of =God -created He him; male and female created He them.
28 And =God blessed them, and =God said unto them, “Be_fruitful, and ‘multiply, and -replenish -the earth, and -subdue it: and shave_dominion over the_fish_of the sea, and over the_ fowl_of the ’=air, and over every living_ thing x+that moveth upon the earth.’
29 And =God said, “Behold, I -have_ given you every herb sbearing seed, which is upon the_=face_of all the earth, and revery xtree, in the which is the_fruit_of a tree syielding seed; to you it_shall_be for meat.
30 And to every beast_of the earth, and to every fowl_of the #=air, and to every thing_that_creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is Islife, I have given and it was so.

He had_made, and, behold, it was very good. And ‘the evening and ‘the morn- ing were the sixth day.
THUS the =heavens and the earth were_finished, and all the_host_ of them.
2 And on the seventh xday =God ended His work which He had_made ; and He rested on the seventh xday from all His work which He had_made.
8 And =God tblessed the seventh eday, and tsanctified it: because that in it He had_rested from all His work which =God ¢ created ‘and made.
4 These are the_generations_of the =heavens and of the earth when they were_created, in the_day_that / the Lorp =God made the earth and the =heayens,
5 And every plant_of the field before it twas in the earth, and every herb_of the field before it 'grew: for J the Lorp =God had not caused_it_to_rain upon the earth, and there was not a “man to till “the ground.
6 But there 'went_up a mist from the earth, and -watered «the whole =face_ of the ground.
7 And Jthe Lorp =God / formed aman of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the_breath_ of =life; and «xman became a living soul.
8 And ‘the Lorp =God planted a garden eastward in e Eden; and there He tput ethe «man whom He had_ formed.
9 And out_of the ground made / the Lorp =God to_grow every tree that_is_ pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the_tree_of x=life also in the_ midst_of the garden, and the_tree_of xknowledge_of good and evil.
10 And a river 'went out_of Eden to water -the garden; and from thence it twas_parted, and sbecame into four heads.
11 The_name-of the first is p Pison : that_is_it xswhich compasseth -the_ whole land_of / xHayilah, where there is xgold ;
12 And the_gold_of xthat «land is good: there zs xbdellium and the onyx stone.
138 And the_name-_of the second xriver is ¢Gihon: the_same-_ts_it +that com- passeth «the whole land_of ¢ Ethiopia.
14 And the_name_of the third xriver is h Hiddekel : that_ts_it x+which goeth toward_the_east_of Assyria. And the fourth «river ,’ is e Euphrates.
15 And Jthe Lorp =God took -the «man, and put him into the_garden_of Eden to ¢ dress it and to keep it.
16 And / the Lorp =God commanded the «man, saying, “Of every tree_of the garden thou mayest_freely eat :
17 But of the_tree_of the knowledge_ of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the_day that thou ‘eatest thereof thou shalt_surely ‘die.”
18 And J the Lorp =God tsaid, “Jt is not good that the “man should_be alone; I will.make him a help as meet for him.”
19 And out_of the ground ! the Lorp

2% And xAdam gave names to all xcattle, and to the_fowl_of the =air, and to every beast_of the field; but for Adam there_was not found a help asmeet for him.
21 And ‘the Lory =God caused a deep_sleep to_fall upon xAdam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed_up the flesh instead thereof ;

122 And the « man said, “The woman whom Thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did_eat.”
13 And ‘the Lorp =God said unto the woman, “ What is this that thou shast_done?” And the woman said, “The serpent beguiled me, and I did_
eat.
14 And ! the Lorp =God said unto the serpent, “Because thou -hast_done this, thow art cursed above all xcattle, and above every beast_of the field; upon thy belly shalt_thou_go, and dust Ep e-thon.eat all the_days_of thy =life :
15 And I will_put enmity between thee and ,/the woman, and between
5. thy seed and »/her seed; hit shall_

16 Unto the woman He-said, “TI will_ greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt_ bring_forth s children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall_ rule over thee.”
7 And unto Adam He-said, “Be- cause thou *hasthearkened unto the_ voice_of thy wife, and hast_eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, say- ing, ‘Thou shalt not eat of it:’ cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt_thou_eat of it all the_days_of thy =life ;
18 Thorns also and thistles shall_it_ bring_forth to thee; and thou sshalt_ eat -the herb_of the field ;
19 In the_sweat_of thy face shalt_ thou_eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out_of it wast_thou_ taken: for dust thon art, and unto dust shalt_thou_return.”’
20 And xAdami called his wife’s name “eEve;” because she was the_mother_ of all living.
21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did ‘the Lorp =God make ~*coats_of -skins, and clothed them.
22 And ‘the Lorp =God said, “ Be- hold, the «man -is_become as one of Us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put_forth his hand, and -take also of the_tree_of *=life, and -eat, and live for ever :”
23 Therefore J the Lorp =God sent_ him_forth from the_garden_of Eden, to till -the ground from whence he_was_ taken.

and she conceived, and bare

2 And she again bare his ~brother a~Abel. And Abel was 1a /keeper_of sheep, but Cain was +a stiller_of the ground.
8 And atin process_of time it came_ to_pass, that Cain brought of the fruit_ ee the ground an ¢ offering unto J the
ORD.
GENEsIs IV. 23.
4 And Abel, he also brought of the_ firstlings_of his flock and of the_=fat_ thereof.. And / the Lorp had-_respect unto Abel and'to his g offering :
5 But unto Cain and to his g offering He_had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
6 And Jthe Lorp said unto Cain, “Why -art thou wroth? and why «is thy countenance fallen ?
7 Tf thou fdoest_well, shalt_thou not be_accepted? and if thou Fdoest not well sisin crlieth at the edoor. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt_rule over him.”
8 And Cain talked with Abel his bro- ther: and it came_to_pass, when they were gn the field, that Cain rose_up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
8 And ‘the Lorp said unto Cain, “Where is Abel thy brother?” And he said, “I :know not: Am £ my bro- ther’s keeper?”
10 And He said, ‘“ What + hast_-thou_ done? the_voice_of thy brother's =blood «crieth unto Me from the ground.
4 And now art thou cursed from the gearth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s ~blood from thy hand ;
12 When thou ttillest -the ground, it_shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vaga- bond shalt_thou_be in the earth.”
13 And Cain said unto! the Lorp, “My ‘punishment 7s greater than cal can_bear.
14 Behold, Thou -shast_driven me out this day from the_face_of the gearth; and from Thy p face shall_I_ be_hid ; and I -shall_be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it -shall_ come-_to_pass, that every_one «that_ findeth me shall_slay me.”
1s And Jthe Lorp said unto him, “Therefore whosoever +slayeth Cain, yengeance_shall_be_taken_on_him se- venfold.” And Jthe Lorp set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should_ kill him.
16 And Cain went_out from the_pre- sence_of / the Lorp, and dwelt in the_ land_of » Nod, on the_east_of Eden.
17 And Cain knew his wife ; and she conceived, and bare e-Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the_name_of the city, after the-name_of his son, Enoch.
18 And unto Enoch was_born ‘Irad: and Irad begat ™-Mehujael: and Me- hujael begat me-Methusael: and Me- thusaél begat ’-Lamech.
19 And Lamech took unto him two wives : the_name_ofthe one was “Adah, and the_name-_of the other 2 Zillah.
20 And Adah bare j-Jabal: he was the_father_of such_as_dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.
21 And his brother’s name was ju Ju- bal: he was the_father_of all ssuch_ as_handle the harp and organ.
22 And Zillah, she also bare ¢Tubal- cain, an instructer_of every artificer in_ brass and iron: and the_sister_of Tu- bal-cain was » Naamah.

12 And =God looked_upon sthe earth and, behold, it was_corrupt; for ali flesh had_ corrupted his -way upon the earth.
18 And =God said unto Noah, =the: end_of all flesh -is_come before Me; for the earth -is_filled_with violence through them; and, behold, I will 4destroy them with the earth.
14 -Make thee an_cark_of gopher wood; rooms shalt_thou_make-_in «the ark, and -shalt ppitch it within and without with xpitch.
15 And this ts 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 swindow shalt_thou_make to the ark, and tin a cubit shalt_thou_finish it above ; and the_edoor_of the ark shalt_thou_set in the_side thereof ; with lower, second, and third stories shalt_thou_make it.
17 And, behold, I, even £,+do_bring a xflood_of waters upon the earth, to de- stroy all flesh, wherein is the_sbreath_ of =life, from under x-heaven; and ce that is in the earth shall_
ie.
18 But with thee -will_I_establish My covenant: and thou :shalt_come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons’ wives with thee.
1 And of every *living_thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt_thou_ bring into the ark, to keep_them_alive with thee; they sh@ll_be male and fe- male.
20 Of xfowls after their kind, and of xcattle after their kind, of every creep- ing_thing of the gearth after his kind, two of every sort shall_come unto thee, to keep_them_alive.
21 And -take thow unto thee of all food that tis_eaten, and thou ‘shalt_ gather it to thee; and it -shall_be for food for thee, and for them.”
22 Thus did Noah; according_to all that =God commanded him, so did he.
AND ‘the Lorp said unto Noah,
“Come thow and all thy house into the ark; for thee -have_I_seen righteous before Me in xthis xgene- ration.
2 Of every clean xbeast thou shalt_ take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of xbeasts that are not clean by two, the male and his fe- male.
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 £ +will_ cause_it_to_rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights ; and -every liy- ing_substance that I have made -will_ Twdestroy from off the_face_of the g earth,”
GEnEsis VII, 23.
5 And Noah did according_unto all that ! the Lorp commanded him.
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood_of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went_in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the_wa- ters_of the flood.
8 Of xclean that ave not clean, and of xfowls, and of every_thing that +creepeth upon the g earth,
9 There_went_in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, «as =God had_commanded “Noah.
10 And it came_to_pass after seven xdays, that the_waters_of the flood were upon the earth.
1lIn_ the_six hundredth year_of Noah’s life, in the second xmonth, the_ seventeenth day_of the month, the same xday were all the_fountains_ of the great deep broken_up, and the_windows_of
x=heaven were_opened.
22 And the rain twas upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 In the selfsame xday 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 They, and every xbeast after his kind, and Pall the cattle after their kind, and every xcreeping_thing that creep- eth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird_ of every ~ sort.
15 And they went_in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all xflesh, where- in is the_s breath_of =life.
16 And xthey_that went_in, went_in
male and female of all flesh, as =Gods
had_commanded him: and J the Lorp shut * him in.
17 And the flood twas forty days up- on the earth ; and the waters increased, and bare_up «the ark, and it was_lift_ up above the earth.
18 And the waters prevailed, and were_increased greatly upon the earth ; and the ark went upon the_=face_of the waters.
19 And the waters prevailed exceed- ingly upon the earth ; and all the high mxhills, that were under the whole x=heaven, were_covered.
20 Fifteen cubits upward did the wa- ters prevail; and the mountains were_ covered.
21 And all flesh died x:that moved upon the earth, both of xfowl, and of xeattle, and of xbeast, and of every xereeping_thing x+that creepeth upon the earth, and every « xman :
2 All in whose nostrils was the_ breath xo of =life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
3 And revery *living_substance was_ w 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_v de- stroyed from the earth : and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark,

% And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the_ end_of the hundred and fifty days the waters were_abated,

» And the waters decreased continu- ally until the tenth month : in the tenth month, on the_first day of the month, were the_tops_of the mountains seen.
8 And it Came_to_pass at the_end_of forty days, that Noah opened -the_win- dow_of the ark which he_had_made:
7 And he sent_forth @ ‘raven, which went_forth to and fro, until the waters were_dried_up from off the earth.
8 Also he sent_forth a dove from whim, to see if the waters were_abated from off the_face_of the ground ;
% 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 xearth: then he put_forth his hand, and took her, and pulled herin unto him into the ark.

12 And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent_forth -the dove; which returned not again unto him any_ more,
13 And it came_to_pass in the six hundredth and first year, .0in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were_dried_up from off the earth: and Noah removed -the_cover- ing_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.
1s And =God spake unto Noah, say-
B:
1 “sGo_forth fof the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee.
17 -Bring_forth with thee every ~liv- ing_ thing | that 7s with thee, of all flesh, both of xfowl, and of xcattle, and of every xcraeping- thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they -may_breed_ abundantly in the earth, and -be_fruit- ful, and ‘multiply upon the earth.”
18 And Noah went forth,and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with
in
him : 19 Every xbeast, every xcreeping_thing,
Grnesis IX. 14.
and every «fowl, and whatsoever cree} ind, eth upon the earth, after their kin went_forth out_of the ark.
2» And Noah builded an altar unto Jthe Lorp; and took of every xbeast, and of every xclean *fowl, and offered as burnt -offerings ‘ton the altar.
21 And ‘the Lorp smelled a rxsweet rsavour; and /the Lorp said in His
heart, “1 will not again curse +the} 97,

2 a While the earth Aipintieest seed- time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.”
AND =God blessed “Noah and his
rsons, and said unto them, “*Be_ fruitful, and -multiply, and «replenish «the earth.
2 And the_fear_of you and the_ dread_of you shall_be upon every beast_of the earth, and upon every fowl_of the =air, upon all that ‘moveth upon the gearth, and upon all the_ fishes_of the sea; into your hand ¢are_ they_delivered.

8 And =God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,

16 And the bowsshall_be in the cloud ; and I -will_look_upon it, that I_-may_ remember the_everlasting covenant between =God and ,” every living s crea- ture of all flesh that 7s upon the earth.”
17 And =God said unto Noah, “This ts the_token_of the covenant, which I have established between Me and ,? all flesh that ¢s upon the earth.”
18 And the_sons_of Noah, «that went_forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth : and Ham »/ is the_ father_of Canaan.
19 These are the_three sons_of Noah: and of them was the whole xearth overspread.
2 And Noah began to be am husband- man, and he planted a vineyard :
21 And he drank of the “wine, and
.|was_drunken ; and he was_uncovered | within his tent.
2 And Ham, the_father_of Canaan, saw «the_nakedness_of his father, and
in. | told his two brethren without.
2% And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid i¢ 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 xyounger son had_ done unto him.
25 And he said, “+Cursed be ¢ Canaan ; a servant_of servants shall_he_be unto his brethren.” 4
26 And he said, “+Blessed be ‘the =God_of Shem; and Canaan shall_be his servant.
27 =God shall_enlarge Japheth, and he shall_dwell in the_tents_of Shem; and Canaan shall_be his servant.”
28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
2 And all the_days_of Noah were rer hundred and fifty years: and he
ied.
NOW these are the_generations_ of the_sons_of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them
* |were sons born after the flood.
2 The_sons_of Japheth ; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
8 And the_sons_of Gomer ; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
4 And the_sons_of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
5 By these were the-_sisles_of the n Gentiles divided in their lands ; every_ one after his tongue, after their fami- lies, in their nations.
6 And the_sons_df 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 Raa-
mah; Sheba, and Dedan. 8 And Cush begat *-Nimrod: he be- gan to be a mighty_one in the earth.

9 He was a mighty hunter before ‘the Lorp: wherefore it ‘is_said, “Kyen_as Nimrod the_mighty hunter before ! the Lorp.”
10 And the_beginning_of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the_land_of Shinar.
1 Out_of xthat Asshur, and builded -Nineveh, and ¢-the_city_Rehoboth, and «Calah,
22 And -Resen between Nineyeh and Calah : the_same 7s a xgreat «city. -
13 And Mizraim begat -Ludim, and -Anamim, and -Lehabim, and -Naph- tuhim,
14 And «Pathrusim, and -Casluhim (out_of whom came Philistim,) sand -Caphtorim.
15 And Canaan begat «Sidon his first- born, and -Heth
16 And sthe J ebusite, and -the Amo- rite, and
17 And «the Hivite, and -the Arkite, and «the Sinite,
18 And-«the Arvadite, and «the Zema- rite, and -the Hamathite: and after- ward were the_families_of the Canaan- ites spread_abroad.
19 And the_border_of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as_thou_comest to Gerar, unto Gaza ; as_thou_goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even_unto Lasha.
20 These ave 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_s children_of Eber, the_brother_of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.
22 The_schildren_of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
23 And the_schildren_of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
24 And Arphaxad begat -Salah; and Salah begat -Eber.
2 And unto Eber were_born two sons : the_name_of xone was p Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided ; and his brother’s name was Joktan.
26 And Joktan begat ~Almodad, and -Sheleph, and -Hazarmayeth, and -Jerah,

8 And they said ‘one to another, “«Go_to, tlet_us_make =brick, and burn them ‘throughly.” And they had xprick for stone, and xslime had they for mortar.
4 And they said, “*Go_to, let_us_ build us a city and a tower, 4 whose top may reach unto x-heaven; and let_us_make us a name, lest we be_ scattered_abroad upon the_face_of the whole earth.”
5 And / the Lorp came_down to see

so children_of «¢@ xmen builded.
6 And !the Lorp said, “Behold, the -people is one, and they have all one llanguage ; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will_be_restrained from them, which they thaye_imagined to do,
7 -Go_to, 'let_us_go_down, and there confound their language, that they
‘may not understand one another's Uspeech.” 8 So ‘the Lorp scattered them
abroad from thence upon the_face_of all the earth: and they left_off to build the city,
® Therefore -is the_name_of it called UBabel; because ‘the Lorn did there confound the_!language_of all the earth: and from thence did / the Lorp scatter_them_abroad upon the_ face_of all the earth,
10 These are the_generations_of Shem: Shem was a hundred years old, and begat -Arphaxad two years after the flood :

-Terah a hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters. 26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begat «Abram, -Nahor, and ~Haran. 27 Now these are the_generations_of ‘Terah: Terah begat 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 vite, ileal. (he eames ae ie wife, Mileal e_daug m0) the_father_of Mileah, and the_father_ of Iscah. $6
30 But Sarai was barren ; she had no child.
3L And Terah took Abram his son, and «Lot the_son_of Haran his son’s son, and sSarai his daughter_in_law, his son Abram’s wife; and they went_ forth with them from Ur of the ¢ Chal- dees, to go into the_land_of Canaan ;
and they came unto / Haran, and},4
dwelt there. 32 And the_days_of Terah were two_ hundred_and five years: and Terah
died in Haran.
1 NOW /the Lorp 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 And I will.make of thee a great nation, and I will_bless thee, and make thy name great; and /thou -shalt_be a blessing : 2
3 And I will_bless +them_that_bless thee, and curse +him_that_curseth thee : and in thee sshall all families_of the g earth be_blessed.”
4So Abram departed, ¢ as 1 the Lorp 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 their substance that they had_ gathered, and -the souls that they had_gotten in Haran ; and they went_ forth to go into the_land_of Canaan ; and into the_land_of Canaan they came,
6 And Abram passed_through the land unto the_place_of sSichem, unto
the_plain_of Moreh. And the Ca-}*-
naanite was then in the land.
7 And Jthe Lorp appeared unto Abram, and said, “Unto thy seed will_ I_give xthis land.” And there builded he an altar unto ‘the Lorp, who appeared unto him.

Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.
ll And it came_to_pass, when he was_come_near to enter into. Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, “Be- hold now, I know that thon art a fair woman to look_upon :
“12 Therefore it *shall_come_to_pass, when the Egyptians shall_see thee, that they -shall_say, ‘ This ts his wife : and they -will_kill me, but they will_ saye thee alive.
13 -Say, I_pray_thee, thou art my sister: that_it_'may_be well with me for thy sake; and my soul -shall_live because_of thee.”
14 And it came_to_pass, that, when Abram was.come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld «the woman that she was very fair.
15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pha- raoh ; and the woman was_taken into Pharaoh's house.
16 And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he_asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she_asses, and camels,
17 And ! the Lorp plagued -Pharaoh and his house with great plagues be- cause of Sarai Abram’s wife.
18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, “What is this that thou shast_ done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
12° Why saidst thou, ‘She is my sister ?’ so I might_have_taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, stake her, and -go_thy_way.”
2 And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent
,| him away, and his -wife, and -all that
he had.
18 AND Abram went up out_of Egypt, he and his wife, and
all that ®he had, and Lot with him,
into the south.
2 And Abram was very ‘rich in xcattle, in xsilver, and in xgold.
8 And he went_on his journeys from the south even to 4 Beth-el, unto the place where his tent had_been at the beginning, between Beth-él and ,» Hai;
4 Unto the_place_of the altar, which he had_made there at. the_first: and there. Abram called on the name of J the Lorn.
5 And Lot also, xswhich went «with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
6 And the land was not able to bear them, that_they_might dwell together : for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.
7 And there was a strife between the_ herdmen_of Abram’s cattle and ,v the_ herdmen of_Lot’s cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite +dwelled then in the land.
8 And Abram said unto Lot, “'Let_ there_be no strife, I_pray_thee, between me and » thee, and between my herd- men and ~’thy herdmen; for we be am brethren,
9 Ts not the whole «land before thee?
GENESIS XIV. 8,
*separate_thyself, I_pray_thee, from me: if thow wilt take the left_hand, then I will_go_to_the_right ; orifthow depart to the right-hand, then I will_ go_to_the_left.”
10 And Lot lifted_up his reyes, and beheld -all the_plain_of JjxJordan, that it was well_watered every_where, before Jthe Lorp destroyed s-Sodom and g-Gomorrah, even as the_garden_of Jthe Lorp, like the_land_of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.
it Then Lot chose him all the_ plain_of Jordan; and Lot journeyed at east : and they separated_themselves the one from the other.
2 Abram dwelled in the_land_of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the_cities_ of the plain, and pitched_his_tent toward Sodom.
13 But the_emen_of Sodom were wicked and sinners before / the Lorp exceedingly,
14 And / the Lorp said unto Abram, after_that Lot was_separated from him, “-Lift_up now thine eyes, and ‘look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and east- ward, and westward :
15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will_I_give it, and to thy seed for ever.
16 And I will-make thy «seed as the dust_of the earth: so that if a ‘man can number rthe_dust_of the earth, then shall thy seed also be_numbered.
7 -Arise, w-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 remoyed_his_tent, and came and dwelt ein the_plain_of mMamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the Lorp. 1 AND it came_to_pass in the_
days_of Amraphel king_of Shinar, Arioch king_of Ellasar, Chedor- Jaomer king_of Elam, and Tidal king_ of nations ;
2 That these made war with Bera king.0f Sodom, and with Birsha king_ of Gomorrah, Shinab king_of Admah, and Shemeber king_of Zeboiim, and the_king_of Bela, which is Zoar.
8 All these were_joined_together in ewe of xSiddim, which_is the Salt

4 Twelve years they served -Chedor- laomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled. 2
5 And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote -the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and -the Zuzims in Ham, and -the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
6 And -the Horites in their mount Seir, unto El-paran, which is by the wilderness,
7 And they returned, and came to En-mishpat,which is Kadesh, and smote rall the_country_of the Amalekites, and also. the Amorites, that dwelt in Ha- zezon-tamar. ;

2 And they took -Lot, Abram’s bro- ther’s son, who +dwelt in Sodom, and his -goods, and departed.
13 And there_came one that_had_ escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew ; for he +dwelt in the_eplain_of Mamre the Amorite, brother_of Eshcol, and brother_of Aner: and these weve ™ con- federate with Abram.
14 And when Abram heard that his brother was_taken_captive, he armed his strained servants, born in his_own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.
18 And he divided_himself against them, he and his servants, by_night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the_left_hand_ of Damascus.
16 And he brought_back goods, and also brought_again his bro- ther -Lot, and_ his. goods, and -the women also, and «the people.
W And the_king_of Sodom went_out to meet him after his return from the_ slaughter_of -Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the_ valley_of Shaveh, which is the king’s dale.
18 And mMelchizedek king_of sSalem brought_forth bread and wine: and he was the_priest_of the_most_highe-God.
19 And he blessed him and said, “Blessed be Abram of the_most_high e-God, +possessor_of=heaven and earth :
2 And «blessed be the_most_high e-God, which hath delivered thine ene- mies into thy hand.” And he gave him tithes of all.

2 And Abram said, “a=Lord JGop, what wilt-Thou_give me, seeing £ +go childless, and the_ssteward_of my house is this ¢ Eliezer of Damascus ?”
8 And Abram said, “Behold, to me Thou shast_given no seed: and, lo, «one born in my house is mine heir.”
4 And, behold, the_word_of / the Lorp came unto him, saying, “This shall_ not be thine heir; but he_that shall come-_forth out_of thine_own bowels hshall_be thine heir.”
5 And He brought him forth abroad, and said, “!-Look now toward and «tell number them;”and He said unto him, “So shall thy seed be.”
6 And he «believed in 4 the Lorp; and He counted it to him jor righteous- ness,
7 And He said unto him, “¥ am the Lorp that brought thee out_of «Ur_of the Chaldees, to give thee xthis ‘land to inherit it.”
8 And hesaid, “a=Lord J Gop, whereby shall_I_know that I shall_inherit it ?”
% And He said unto him, “*Take Me a heifer of_three_years_old, and a she goat of_three_years_old, and a ram of_ three_years_old, and a turtle-dove, and a young_pigeon.”
10 And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one_against another: but the -birds divided he not.
11 And when the /fowls came_down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.
122 And when the sun was_going_ down, a deep_sleep fell upon Abram ; and, lo, a horror_of great darkness afell upon him.
13 And He said unto Abram, “Know of a surety that thy seed shall_be a stranger in a land that is not theirs and -shall_serve them ; and they -shall_ afflict them four hundred years ;
14 And also -that nation, whom they shall_serve, will € judge: and after- ward shall_they_come_out with great substance,
15 And thou shalt_go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt_be_buried in a good old_age.

8 him ?in the_plains_of Mamre: and he 4sat in the tent edoor in the_ heat_of the day ;
2 And he lift_up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three « men +stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent edoor, and bowed_him- self toward_the_ground,
3 And said, “a My =Lord, if now I have_found favour in Thy sight, ‘pass not away, I_pray_thee, from Thy ser- vant:

5 And I will_fetch a morsel_of bread, and s*comfort ye your hearts; after_ that ye shall_pass_on: for therefore ‘are_ye_come to your servant.” And hey said, “So 'do, «cas thou hast said.”
6 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, “*Make_ ready_quickly three measures_of fine meal, -knead 7¢, and ‘make cakes_upon_ the_hearth,”
7 And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and gave it unto_@ xyoung_man; and he hasted to dress it.
8 And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he_had_dressed, and set it before them; and Ire 4stood by them under the tree, and they did_eat.
% And they said unto him, “ Where is Sarah thy wife?” And he said, “Be- hold, in the tent.”
10 And he said, “TI will_certainly tre- turn unto thee according_to the time_ of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall_ have a son.” And Sarah +heard it in the tent « door, which was behind him.
11 Now Abraham and Sarah weve old and well_stricken in age; and it_ ceased_to_be with Sarah after_the_ manner_of xwomen,
12

12 Therefore Sarah laughed within_| B.C. 1898. herself, saying, “ After I am_waxed_old | 12. See Ch.21, ‘shall I have pleasure, my -lord being_| $7.1 Pet old also?” :

145 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,} Sopom. and 4 looked toward Sodom : and Abra-| >. bent_for- ham went with them to bring them_| jatd-to- on_the_way. 5 é is =

And 4 the Lorp said, “Shall ¥ hide erent
from Abraham that_thing_which & -do;
18 Seeing that Abraham shall_surel ‘become a great and mighty nation, an all the_nations_of the earth -shall_be_ blessed in him ?
19 For I know him, that he will_com-|19. Ch. 17. 23. mand his children and his household after him, and they sshall_keep the_ way_of Jthe Lorp to do justice and judgment; that J the Lorp may_bring upon Abraham sthat_which He shath_ spoken of him.” ;

30 And Lot went_up out_of Zoar, and
{dwelt in the mountain, and his two
daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in @ xcave, lve and his two daughters.
31 And the firstborn said unto the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a ‘man in the earth to come_in unto us after the_manner_of all the earth :
2 «Come, Het_us_make our -father drink wine, and we will_lie with him, that we may_preserve seed of our

"| father.”
83 And they made their -father drink » wine that xnight: 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_mor- row, 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.”
3> And they made their -father drink wine «that xnight also : and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he per- ceived not when she lay_down, nor when she arose.
36 Thus were both the_daughters_of Lot with_child by their father.
37 And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name ™ Moab: the_same is the_father_of the Moabites unto this day.
88 And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name / Ben-ammi : the_same is the_father_of the_s chil- dren_of Ammon unto this day.
2 AND Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south
country, and dwelled between Kadesh
and Shur, and sojourned in 9 Gerar.
2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, “ She is my sister: ” and « Abime- lech king_of Gerar sent, and took “Sarah.
3 But =God came to « Abimelech in a xdream by_xnight, and said to him, “Behold, thou art but a dead_man, for the woman which thou shast_taken ; for she is a man’s wife.”
4 But Abimelech had not eome_near her : and he said, “«d=Lord, wilt_Thou_ slay also a righteous nation ?
> Said he not unto me, ‘She is my sister ?’ and she, even she_herself said, ‘He is my brother :’ in the_integrity_of my heart and innocency_of my hands *have_I_done this.”
6 And x=God said unto him in a xdream, “ Yea, know that thou didst this in the_integrity_of thy heart; for € also withheld thee from sinning against Me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.
7 Now therefore -restore the iman his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall_pray for thee, and thou -shalt_ live: and if thou +restore her not, know thou that thou shalt_surely die, thou, and all that are thine.”
8 Therefore Abimelech rose_early in the morning, and called all his servants,

14 And Abraham rose_up-early in the morning, and took bread, and as bottle_ of water, and gave it unto Hagar, put- ting it on her shoulder, and and sent_her_away : and she departed, and wandered in the_wilderness_of Beer-sheba.
15 And the water was_spent in the sbottle, 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 =God heard -the_voice_of the lad ; and the_angel_of =God called to Hagar out of x-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 shold him in thine -hand; for I will.make him a great nation.”
19 And =God opened her reyes, and she saw a “well_of water; and she went, and filled -the s bottle with water, and gave «the lad drink.
20 And =God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
21 And he dwelt in the_wilderness_ of Paran: and his mother took him a wife Out_of the_land_of Egypt.
22 And it_came_to_pass at xthat xtime, that Abimelech and »Phichol the_ chief_captain_of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, “=God is with thee in all that thou +doest :
23 Now therefore -swear unto me here by =God that thou wilt not deal_falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s_son: but according_to the kind- ness that I have_done unto thee, thou shalt_do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast_sojourned.”
2 And Abraham said,“ = will_swear.”
2 And Abraham -reproved -Abime- lech because of a wwell_of x=water, which Abimelech’s servants had_vio- lently_taken_away.
26 And Abimelech said, “I wot not who shath_done xthis *thing: neither didst thon tell me, neither yet heard £ of it, but to-day.”
27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech: and both of them ¢ made a covenant.

28 And Abraham set seven ewe_lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 And Abimelech said unto Abra- ham, “What mean xthese seven ewe_ lambs which thou shast_set by them- selves?”
30 And he said, “For these cseven ewe_lambs shalt_thou_take of my hand, that they_may_be a witness unto me, that I have digged this xwell.”
3l Wherefore he called xthat xplace “b Beer-sheba;” because there they sware both of them.
82 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.
3% And Abraham planted a ‘grove in Beer-sheba, and called there on the_ name_of ‘the Lorp, the everlasting ra
34 And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines’ land many days.
2 AND it came-_to_pass after

2 And He said, “-Take now thy son, thine sonly son -Isaac, whom thou slovest, and -get thee into the_land_of xMoriah, and -offer« him there for a a burnt_offering upon one_of the moun- tains 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 claye_the_ =wood_for the «burnt_offering, and rose_up, and went unto the place of_ which x=God had_told him.

7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, “My father:” and he said, “Here am I, my son.” And he said, “Behold the fire and the =wood: but Where is the lamb for a «burnt- offering ? ” :
8 And Abraham said, “My son, =God will_! provide Himself a xlamb for a aburnt-offering :” so they went both of them together.

18 And Abraham lifted_up his reyes, and looked, and behold behind him oa ram caught in @ xthicket by his horns : and Abraham went and took the -ram, and offered_him_up for a « burnt_offer- ing in the_stead_of his son.

19 So Abraham returned unto. his young_men, and they rose_up and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
20 And it came_to_pass after xthese xthings, thatit was_told Abraham, say- ing, “Behold, Mileah, she shath also born schildren unto thy brother Nahor ;”

24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also -Tebah, and sGaham, and -Thahash, and -Maachah.

these were the_years_of the_life_of

7 And Abraham stood_up, and bowed himself to the_people_of the land, even to the_s children_of Heth.
8 And he communed with them, te ing, “If it_be your -mind that Ishould_ bury my «dead out_of my sight; shear me, and sintreat for me to Ephron the_ son_of Zohar,
® That he_may_give me -the_cave_of m xMachpelah, which he hath, which 7s in the_end_of his field; for as much si money as_it_is_worth he shall_give it me for a possession_of a buryingplace amongst you.”
10 And Ephron dwelt among the_ schildren_of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite answered «Abraham in the_ audience_of the_schildren_of Heth, even of all that_went_in at the_gate_ of his city, saying,

Jthe Lorp, the_=God_of x=heaven, and the_=God_of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the_ daughters_of the Canaanites, among whomn £ dwell:
4But thou ee 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 xthis land: must I needs bring thy -son again unto the land from whence thou camest ?”
6 And Abraham said unto him, “*Be- ware thou that thou bring not my -son thither again.
7 I1The Lorp =God_of heaven, which took me from my father’s house, and from the_land_of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, ‘Unto thy seed will_ I_give xthis “land ;’ He shall_send His angel before thee, and thou -shalt_take a wife unto my son from thence.
8 And if the woman will not be will- ing to follow thee, then thou -shalt_be_ elear from this my oath: only bring not my rson thither again.”
® And the servant put his -hand under the_thigh_of Abraham his =mas- ter, and sware to him concerning xthat xmatter.
10 And the servant took ten camels of the_camels_of his =master, and de- parted : for all the_-goods_of his =mas- ter were in his hand: and he arose, and went to m Mesopotamia, unto the_ city_of Nahor.
il And he made his xcamels to_kneel_ down without the city by a ~well_of xswater at the_time_of the evening, even the_time that_women go_out to_ draw water.
2 And he said, “O_’ Lorp =God_of my -master Abraham, I_pray Thee, ‘send_me_good_speed this day, and «shew kindness unto my -master Abra-
ham.
13 Behold, € 4stand here by the_ Jwell_of x=water ; and the_daughters_ of the_« men_of the city +come_out to draw water :
14 And ‘let it_come_to_pass, that the damsel to whom I shall_say, ‘-Let_ down thy pitcher, I_pray_thee, that I may_drink;’ and she ‘shall_say, “Drink, and I will_give thy camels drink also :’ let the same be she that Thou hast_ appointed for Thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall_I_know that Thou hast_ shewed kindness unto my -master.”
% And it came_to_pass, before he had_done speaking, that, behold, * Re- bekah +came_out, who was_born to > Bethuél, son_of ™ Milcah, the_wife_of
,|Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her
pitcher upon her shoulder.
16 And the damsel was very fair to_ look_upon, a virgin, neither had any_ iman known her: and she went_down to the / well, and filled her pitcher, and came_up.
17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, “+Let me, I_pray_thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.”
18 And she said, “*Drink, my -lord:” and she hasted, and let_down her

19 And when she had_done giving_ him_drink, she said, “I will_draw water
for thy camels also, until they have_ done ae 20 And she hasted, and emptied her
pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the ? well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.
21 And the ‘man +wondering at her held_his_peace, to wit whether ‘the Lorp 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 j 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, “£ am the_ daughter_of Bethuél 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 iman bowed_down_his_ head, and worshipped ! the Lorp.
27 And he said, “+Blessed be / the Lorp =God_of my -master Abraham, who -hath not left_destitute my -master of His /mercy and His truth: £ being in the way, ! the Lorp led me to the_house_ of my -master’s brethren.”
28 And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother’s house xthese xthings.
29 And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was! Laban: and Laban ran_ out unto the ‘man, unto the / well.
30 And it came_to_pass, when he saw ‘the Jj 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 sstood by the camels at the / well.
31 And he said, “*Come_in, thou_ blessed of ‘the Lorn; wherefore tstandest thou without? for £ -have_ prepared the house, and room for the camels.”
82 And the ‘man came into the house: and /che ungirded his xcamels, and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the emen’s feet that were with him.

28 But thou shalt_go unto my father’s house, and to my kindred, and -take a wife unto my son.’
39 And I said unto my -master, ‘ Per- adventure the woman will not follow me.’
40 And he said unto me, ‘1 Zhe Lor, 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 Then shalt_thou_be_clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my kindred ; and if they tgive not thee one, thoushalt_be clear from my oath,’
42 And I came this day unto. the
/well, and said, O_’ Lorp =God_of my
-master Abraham, if now Thou do_ prosper my way which £ +go:
43 Behold, ¥ 4stand by the_/ well_of x=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 thon, and I will also draw for thy camels:’ let the_same be the woman whom ‘the Lorp hath appointed_out for my -master’s son.’
45 And before € had_done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah +came_ forth with her pitcher on her shoulder ; and she went_down unto the/ well, an 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 [ asked Iter, and said, ‘ Whose daughter art thou?’ And she said, ‘The_daughter_of Bethuél, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him:’ and I put the Jearring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.
48 And I bowed_down_my_head, and worshipped 7 the Lorp, and blessed the ‘-Lorp =God_of my -master Abraham, which had_led me in the right way to take my --master’s brother’s daughter unto his son.
49 And now if ye will_deal 7kindly 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 Bethuél answered and said, “The thing -proceedeth from ‘the Lorp: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.
61 Behold, Rebekah is before thee, ‘take her, and -go, and let_her_be thy -master’s son’s wife, “as 'the Lorp ‘hath_spoken.”
®2 And it came_to_pass, that, when Abraham’s seryant heard their words, he worshipped 4 the Lorn, bowing him- self to the earth.
53 And the servant brought_forth jewels_of silver, and jewels_of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious_things,

55 And her brother and her mother said, “Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at theleast ten; after that she shall_go,”

28 And Isaac loved -Esau, because he did_eat of his venison: but Rebekah +loved -Jacob.
29 And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau cae from the field, and _he was faint :
80 And Esau said to Jacob, “*Feed me, I_pray_thee,with that same rxred pottage ; for £ am faint:” therefore was his name called e Edom.
31 And Jacob-said, “*Sell me this day thy -birthright.”

2 AND there was a famine in the
land, beside the first xfamine that was in the_ days_of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king_of the Philistines unto Gerar.

18 And they dwelt from Hayilah unto Shur, that 7s before Egypt, as- thou goest toward Assyria: and he /died in the_presence-_of all his brethren.
19 And these are the_generations_of Isaac, Abraham’s son; Abraham begat rIsaac:
20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took-Rebekah to wife, the_daughter_ of Bethuél the «Syrian of Padan-aram, the_sister_to Laban the «Syrian.
21 And Isaac intreated J the Lorn for his wife, because she was barren: and ‘the Lorp was_intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22 And the schildren struggled_to- gether within her; and she said, “If it be so, why am E thus?” And she went to inquire of !the Lorn.
23 And Jthe Lorp said unto her, “ Two
nations ave in thy womb, and two man-
"|ner_of_=people shall_be_ separated from
thy bowels; and the one -people shall_ be_ stronger than the other —people; and the g elder shall_serve the younger.”
24 And when her days to be_delivered were_fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
2 And the first came_out red all_ over like a hairy garment; and they called his name ¢ I'sau.
26 And after that came his brother
out, and his hand +took_hold on Esau’s |

> Because that Abraham obeyed My voice, and kept My charge, My com- mandments, My statutes, and My laws.”
6 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
7 And the_emen_of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, “She is my sister :” for he feared to say, “She|” is my wife ;” lest, said he, the_w men_ of the place should_kill me for Re- bekah; because she was fair to look upon,
8 And it came_to_pass, when he had_ been there a long_time, that Abimelech king_of the Philistines looked_out at a xwindow, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.
9 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, “Behold, of a surety she ts thy wife: and how saidst thou, ‘She is my sister??” And Isaac said unto him, “Because I said, Lest I tdie for her.”

14 For he had possession_of flocks, and possession_of herds, and_ great store_of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
15 For all the wells which his fa- ther's servants had_digged in the_days_ of Abraham his father, the Philistines had_stopped them, and filled them with d earth.
16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, “Go from us; for thourart much might- ier than we.”
7 And Isaac departed thence, and pitched_his_tent in the_valley_ofGerar, and dwelt there.
18 And Isaac digged again -the_ wwells_of x=water, which they had_ digged in the_days_of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had_stop- ped them after the_death_of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had_called them.
19 And Isaac’s servants digged in the yalley, and found there a ~ well_of U springing water.
® And the_herdmen_of Gerar did_ strive with Isaac’s herdmen, saying “The water is ours:” and he called the_name_of the well ¢ Esek ; because they strove with him.
21 And they digged another ~ wel and strove for that also: and he calle the_name-_of it sSitnah.
22 And he removed from thence, and digged another »well; and for that they strove not: and he called the_ name_of it Rehoboth; and he said, “For now ‘the Lorp hath_made_room for us, and we sshall_be_fruitful in the land.”
23 And he went_up from thence to Beer-sheba.
24 And J the Lorp appeared unto him the same xnight, and tsaid, “ am the_ =God_of Abraham thy father: ‘fear not, for E am with thee, and -will_bless thee, and -multiply thy -seed for My servant Abraham’s sake.”
25 And he builded an altar there, and called upon the_name_of ‘the Lorp, and pitched his tent there: and there Tsaae’s servants digged a « well.
26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and «Ahuzzath one_of his friends, and » Phichol the_chief_cap- tain_of his army.
27 And Isaac said unto them, “ Where- fore -come ye to me, seeing pe hate me, and have_sent me aw. ay from you?”
28 And they said, “ We saw certainly that J the Lorp was with thee: and we said, ‘*Let_there_benowanoath betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee, and let_us_ emake a covenant with thee;
2 That thou wilt_do us no hurt, as we shave not touched thee, and as we -have_done unto thee nothing but good, and haye_sent_thee_away in peace: thou art now the_blessed_of ‘the Lorp.’”

35 Which were a }# grief_of mind unto
Isaac and to Rebeka! AND it came_to_pass, that when oT Isaac was_old, and his eyes were_ dim, so_that he Could not see, he called -Esau_ his xeldest son, and said junto him, “My son:” and he said unto him, € Behold, here am lh

5 And Isaac sent_away -Jacob: and he went to Padan-aram unto Laban, son_of Bethuél 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 lim he gave him a charge, saying, “Thou shalt not take a wife of the_daughters_of Ca- naan ;”
7 And that Jacob obeyed his «father and his mother, and was_gone to Pa- dan-aram ;
8 And Esau seeing that the_daugh- ters_of Canaan w pleased not Isaac his father ; é;
9 Then went Esau unto Ishmaél, and took unto the wives which he had b-Mahalath the_daughter_of Ishmaél Abraham's son, the_sister_of Nebajoth, to be his wife.
10 And Jacob went_out from Beer- sheba, and went toward / Haran.
ll And he lighted upon a_ certain place, and tarried there all_night, be- cause the sun was_set ; and he took / of the_stones_of that place, and put_ ithem for his pillows, and lay_down in xthat xplace to_sleep.
12 And he dreamed, and behold a wladder +set_up on the earth, and the_ top_of it sreached to -heaven : and be- hold the_angels_of =God ascending and descending on it.
13 And, behold, Jthe Lorp «stood above it, and said, “E am / the Lorp =God_of Abraham thy father, and the_ =God_of Isaac: the land whereon thou sliest, to thee will_I_give it and to thy -seed ;
14 And thy seed sshall_be as the_dust_ of the earth, and thou -shalt_spread_ abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy -seed «shall all the_ families_of the earth be_blessed.
15 And behold, € am with thee, and -will_keep thee in all places whither thou 'goest, and -will_bring_thee_again into xthis thee, until I -have_done -that_which I -have_spoken to thee of.
16 And Jacob awaked out_of his sleep, and he said, “Surely ?the Lorp is in xthis xplace; and £ knew 7¢ not.”
17 And he was_afraid, and said, “ How / dreadful is xthis xplace! this is none_ other but the_house_of =God, and this is the_gate_of x-heaven.”
18 And Jacob rose_up_early in the morning, and took -the stone that he had_put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the_ top_of it.
19 And he called -the_name_of xthat xplace > Beth-él: but the_name_of that city was called | Luz at the first.
2 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, “Tf =God will_be with me, and -will_

20 And he went_in also unto Rachel, and he loved also -Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years,
81 And when ‘the Lorp saw that Leah was hated, he opened her “womb: but Rachel was barren.
*2 And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name » Reuben : for she said, “Surely ‘the Lorn hath looked upon my affliction ; now there- fore my husband will_love me.”

envied her sister; and said unto Jacob,
*|“-Give me s children, or else £ -die.”
2 And Jacob’s anger was_kindled against Rachel: and he said, “4m £ in =God’s stead, who hath withheld from thee the_fruit_of the womb?”

4 And she gave him «Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went_in unto her. :

6 And Rachel said, “=God hath Jjudged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath_given me a son; there- fore called she his name ¢@ Dan.
7 And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son.
8 And Rachel said, “With w great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed:” and she called his name » Naphtali.
9 When Leah saw that she had_left bearing, she took -Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.
10 And Zilpah Leah’s maid bare Jacob @ son.
11 And Leah said, “A troop+cometh :” and she called his name 9 Gad.
2 And Zilpah Leah’s maid bare Jacob a second son.
13 And Leah said, “Happy_am_t, for the daughters will_call_me_blessed :” and she called his name « Asher.
14 And Reuben went in the_days_of wheat harvest, and found /mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, “-Give me, I_pray_thee, of thy son’s /mandrakes.”
15 And she said unto her, “Js it a small_matter that thou -hast_taken my “husband? and wouldest_thou_take_ away my son’s 7-mandrakes also?” And Rachel said, “Therefore he shall_ lie with thee to night for thy son’s Tmandrakes.”
16 And Jacob came out_of the field in the evening, and Leah went_out to meet him, and said, “Thou tmust_ come_in unto me; for surely I have hired thee with my son’s ?mandrakes,” And he lay with her that «night.
W And =God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son.

2 And Laban said unto him, “I_ pray_thee, if I -have_found fayour in thine eyes, tarry: for I o-have_learned_ by_experience that the Lorp hath_ blessed me for thy sake.”
28 And he said, “sAppoint me thy wages, and I will_give it.”
2 And he said unto him, “Thou ‘knowest show I have served thee, and chow thy cattle was with me.
80 For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is_now_increased unto a multitude; and / the Lorp hath_ blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall £ wprovide 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 xthis xthing for me, I will_again feed and keep thy flock :
32 T will_pass_through all thy flock to-day, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of such :shall_be my hire.
33 So -shall my righteousness answer for me in time to_come, when it_shall_ come for my hire before thy face: every_one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that -shall_be_ counted_stolen with me.”
84 And Laban said, “Behold, I would it_tmight_be according_to thy word.”
35 And he removed xthat xday -the he_goats x:that were_ringstraked and xispotted, and -all the she goats 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 4fed the rest of Laban’s flocks.
87 And Jacob took him rods_of green poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut tree; and ppilled white strakes in them, +and_made the white appear which was in the rods.
88 And he set -the rods which he had_ppilled 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.
89 And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought_forth xcattle 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 xcattle did_conceive, that Jacob laid -the rods before the_eyes_of the cattle in the gutters, that they might_conceive among the rods,
.GEnzEsIs XXXI. 18.
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 tincreased exceed- ingly, and had much cattle, and maid- servants, and menseryants, and camels,

2 And Jacob beheld +the_counte- nance_of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as /before, _

4 And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock,
5 And said unto them, “£ +see your father’s -countenance, that it is not toward me as h before; but the_=God_ of my father -hath_been with me.

9 Thus =God hath_taken_away -the_ cattle_of your father, and given them to me.
10 And it came_to_pass at the_time_ that the cattle conceived, that I lifted_ up mine eyes, and saw in @ ae and behold, the rams x+which leap upon the cattle were ringstraked, speckled, and grisled.
11 And the_angel_of x=God_ spake unto me in a dream, saying, «Jacob :’ And I said, ‘Here am I.

27 Wherefore didst thou flee_away secretly, and steal_away_from me ; and didst not tell me, that I might_have_ sent_thee_away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp ?

3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto_the_land_ of Seir, the_f country_of Edom.
4 And he commanded them, saying, “Thus shall_ye_speak unto my -lord Esau; ‘Thy servant Jacob -saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed_there until now:
5 And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants : and I haye_sent to tell my -lord, that I_ may_find grace in thy sight.’”
6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, “ We came to thy brother ~t Esau, and also he «cometh to meet thee, and four hundred ‘men with him.”
7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed : and he divided -the people that was with him, and -the flocks, and xherds, and the camels, into two’ bands;
§ And said, “If Esau tcome to the one hxcompany, and «smite it, then the other /xcompany which is_left -shall escape.”
° And Jacob said, “O_=God_of my
ther Isaac, ‘the Lorp x+which saidst unto me, “*Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will_deal_ well with thee:’
10 T am /not_worthy_of_the_least_of all the /o mercies, and of all the truth, which Thou -hast_shewed -unto Thy servant; for with my staff I passed_over xthis Jordan ; and now I -am_become two hbands.

13 And he lodged there that same night; and took of x«that_which came to his hand a ypresent for Esau his brother ;

2 And he put «the handmaids and their -children foremost, and -Leah and her children after, and «Rachel and -Joseph hindermost.
8 And he passed_over before them, and bowed_himself to_the_ground seven times, until he came_near to his brother.
4 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.
5 And he lifted_up his -eyes, and saw ‘the women and -the children; and said, “Who are those with thee?” And he said, “The children which =God shath_graciously_given thy «servant.”
6 Then the handmaidens came_near, thep and their children, and they bowed_themselves,
7 And Leah also with her children came_near, and bowed_themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed_themselves.
8 And he said, “ What meanest thou by all xthis xdrove which I met?” And he said, “These are to find grace in the_sight_of my -lord.”
9 And Esau said, “I have ™ enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself.”
10 And Jacob said, “ Nay, I_pray_thee, if now I have_found grace in thy sight, then ‘receive my present at my hand : for therefore I -have_seen thy face, as though I had_seen the_face_of =God, and thou wast_pleased_with me.
ll -Take, I_pray_thee, my that -is_brought to thee ; because =God shath_dealt_graciously_with me, and because I have cenough.” And he urged him, and he took 7t.
2 And he said, “*Let_us_take_our_ journey, and 'let_us_go, and I will_go before thee.”
18 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_over- ee them one day, all the flock -will_

14FLet my -lord, I_pray_thee, pass_ over before his servant : and £ will_lead_ on softly, according_as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be_ able to endure, until I come unto my -lord unto Seir.”
15 And Esau said, “Let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me.” And he said, “ What needeth it? 'let_me_find grace in the_sight_of my -lord.”
46 So Esau returned xthat xday on his way unto Seir.
7 And Jacob journeyed to sSuccoth, and built him a house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the_name_of the place -is_called Succoth.
18 And Jacob came to shShalem, a city_of Shechem, which 7s in the_land_ of Canaan, when he came from Padan- aram; and pitched_his_tent before the city.
19 And he bought a ~parcel_of a field, where he had_spread his tent, at the_ hand.of the_s children_of Hamor, She- chem’s father, for a hundred pieces_of_ money, :
GENESIS XXXTV.19. B.C.1739.
20 And he erected there an altar, and called it e El-=elohe-Israél.
AND ¢Dinah the_daughter_of
Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went_out to see the_daughters_of the land,
2 And when Shechem the_son_of Hamor the Hivite, prince_of the coun- try, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and ? defiled her.
3 And his soul clave unto Dinah the_ daughter_of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake ‘kindly unto the damsel.
4 AndsShechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, “+Get me «this damsel to wife.”
5 And Jacob heard that he had_de- filed -Dinah his daughter: now his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob sheld_his_peace until they were_come.
6 And *Hamor the_father_of She- chem 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 emen were_grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had_wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter ; which_thing ought not to_ be_done.
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 Hake our -daughters unto you.
10 And ye shall_dwell with us: and the land shall_be before you; -dwell and trade ye therein, and *get_you_ possessions therein.”
11 And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren, “*Let_me_find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall_ say unto me I will_give.
12 «Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will_give according as ye shall_say unto me: but give me -the damsel to wife.”
13 And the_sons_of Jacob answered -Shechem and -Hamor his father de- ceitfully, and said, “because he had_ defiled ~Dinah their sister :”
14 And they said unto them, “We teannot do «this xthing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised ; for that were a reproach unto us:
1% But in this will_we_consent unto you: If ye will_be as we be, that every male of you be_circumcised ;

20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the_gate_of their city, and communed with the. men_of their city, saying,
2.“ x'These @ xmen are peaceable with us; therefore 'let_them_dwell in the land, and ttrade therein ; for the land, behold, it is large enough for them; Het_us_take their -daughters to us for wives, and ‘let_us_give them our -daughters.
2 Only herein will the « men consent unto us for to dwell with us, to be one people, if every male among us be_ circunicised, as thep are circumcised.
23 Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast_of theirs be ours? only ‘et us_consent unto them, and they will_dwell with us.”
24 And unto Hamor and unto She- chem his son hearkened all +that_went_ out_of the_gate_of his city; and every male was_circumcised, all +that_went_ out_of the_gate_of his city.
2% And it came_to_pass on the third xday, when they were sore, that two_of the_sons_of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brethren, took ieach_man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males,
26 And they slew -Hamor and +She- chem his son with the_edge_of the sword, and took Dinah out_of She- chem’s house, and went_out.
27 The_sons_of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had_deifiled 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 sall their wealth, and all their -little_ones, and their -wives took they captive, and spoiled even «all that was in the house.
80 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “ Ye haye_troubled me to make_ me_to_stink among the_inhabitants_ of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and £ being few in_number, they -shall_gather_them- selves_together against me, and «slay me; and I sshall_be_destroyed, € and my house.”
31 And they said, “Should_he_deal with our sister as with a harlot?”
1, 35 AND =God said unto Jacob,
“sArise, -go_up to > Beth-él, and *dwell there ; and -make there an altar unto e-God, x+that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the_face_of Esau thy brother.” 2'Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, “-Put_ away the strange -gods that are

your garments :
8 And let_us_arise, and go_up to Beth-él1; and I will_make there an altar unto e-God, x+Who answered me in the_day_of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.”

e the Edomites.
AND Jacob dwelt in the_land oe owherein his father was_a_ stranger, in the_land_of Canaan.
2 These are the_f generations_of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the_ sons_of Bilhah, and with the_sons_of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto ‘his father their eyil report.
3 Now Israél loved -Joseph more_ than all his s children, because he was the_son_of his =old_age : and he -made him a coat_e of many colours.
4 And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more_than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren : and they hated him yet the_more.
6 And he said unto them, “+Hear, I_ pray_you, xthis xdream which I have dreamed :-
7 For, behold, we were binding sheaves in »‘the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also « stood_upright ; and, behold, your sheaves tstood_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 thated 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, “ Be- hold, I have dreamed a dream more ; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars +made_obeisance to me.” 10 And he told 7¢ to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, “ What és xthis xdream that thou -chast_dreamed ? Shall € and thy mother and thybrethren indeed_come to bow_down_ourselves to thee to the earth ?”
1 And his brethren envied him ; but his father observed -the saying.
12 And his brethren went to feed their father’s -flock in s Shechem.
13 And Israél said unto Joseph, “ Do not thy brethren +feed the flock in She- chem ? :come, and I will_send thee unto them.” And he said to him, “® Here am I.” :

him out_of the_vale_of » Hebron, and he} p, «the.
came to Shechem.
1 And a ‘certain_man found him, and, behold, he was +wandering in the field: and the ‘man asked him, saying, “What tseekest thou?” = -
16 And he said, “¥ +seek my brethren : ‘tell me, I_pray_thee, where thep +feed their flocks.”
7 And the ‘man said, “They are de- parted hence; for I heard them -say, *tLet_us_go to ¢ Dothan.’” And Josep went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan. :
18 And when they saw him afar off, even before he came_near unto them, they conspired_against him to slay him.
19 And they said one to another, “ Be- hold, xthis ™ dreamer +cometh.
20-Come now therefore, and let_us_ slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we -will_say, ‘Some_eyil beast shath_devoured him :’ and we shall_see what will_become of his dreams,”
21 And Reuben heard it, and he de- livered him out_of their hands; and said, “*Let us not s kill him.”
22 And Reuben said unto them, ee “tShed no blood, but :cast him into
xthis xpit that 7s in the wilderness, and Hay 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 xmany colours that was on
him ;
24 And they took him, and cast him into @ xpit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.
2 And they sat_down to eat bread: and they lifted_up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company_of Ish- meelites came from Gil ith their camels hearing spleen, end ae Bait myrrh, going to carry_it_down igypt.
26 And Judah said unto his brethren, “What profit is it if we ‘slay our -brother, and -conceal his -blood?
27 «Come, and let_us_sell him to the Ishmeelites, and ‘let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh.” And his brethren / were_ content.
23 Then there_passed_by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted_up -Joseph out_of the pit, and sold -Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought -Joseph into_Egypt.
22 And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his -clothes,
30 And he returned unto his brethren, and said, “The child ts not; and £, whither shall £ go?”
31 And they took Joseph’s ~coat, and killed a kid_of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;
32 And they sent -the_coat_of xmany 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, “Jt is my son’s coat; an evil beast hath de- voured him; Joseph is_without_doubt rent_in_pieces,”
84 And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
35 And all his sons and all his daugh- ters rose_up to comfort him; but he refused to be_comforted ; and he said, “For I will_go_down into the sgrave unto my son mourning.” Thus his father wept for him.
86 And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto » Potiphar, an ¢ officer_of pPharaob’s, and captain_of the =guard. 838 AND it came_to_pass at xthat
xtime, that Judah went_down from his -brethren, and turned_in to a écertain Adullamite, whose name was h Hirah.
2 And Judah saw there a daughter of a icertain Canaanite, whose name was sShuah; and he took her, and went_in unto her.
8 And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his sname ¢ Er.
4 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his "name ° Onan.
5 And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his -name sShelah: and he -was at ¢ Chezib, when she bare him.
6 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was t Tamar.
7 And Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wick- ed in the_sight_of 4 the Lorn ; and J the Lorp slew him.
8 And Judah said unto Onan, “:Go_ in unto thy brother’s wife, and marry her, and -raise_up seed to thy brother.”
» And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it -came_to_pass, when he went_in unto his brother's wife, that he sspilled it on_the_ground, lest_that_ he_should give seed to his brother.
10 And the_thing_which he did ~ dis- leased Jthe Lord: wherefore he slew int also.
Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter_in_law, “*Remain a widow at thy father’s house, till Shelah my son 'be_grown:” for he said, “Lest_perad- venture he ‘die also, as his brethren did.” And Tamar went and dwelt in her father’s house.
12 And in process of time the_daugh- ter_of Shuah Judah’s wife died; and Judah was_comforted, and went_up unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
13 And it was_told Tamar, saying, “Behold thy father_in_law +goeth_up to Timnath to shear his sheep.”
1£ And she put her widow’s garments off from her, and covered_her with a xvail, and wrapped_herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Timnath ; for she saw that Shelah was_ grown, and sive was not given unto him to wife.
15 When Judah saw her, he thought her to be a harlot; because she had_ covered her face.
16 And he turned unto her by the
~
way, and said, “*Go_to, I_pray_thee, Het_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; “£ will_send thee a kid ,ofrom the flock.” And she said, “Wilt_thou_give me a pledge, till thou send it?”
418 And he said, “What pledge shall_ I_give thee?” And she said, “Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand.” And he gaye it her, and came_in unto her, and she conceived by him.
19 And she arose, and went_away, and laid_by her vail from her, and put_on the_garments_of her widowhood.
20 And Judah sent -the_kid ,o by the_ hand_of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his xpledge 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 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.
33 And Judah said, “ Let_her_take it to her, lest we be_shamed: behold, I pene xthis xkid, and thou hast not found
ae”
24 And it came_to_pass about three months after, that it was_told Judah, saying, “Tamar thy daughter_in_law hath played_the_harlot; and also, be- hold, she is with_child by =whoredom.” And Judah said, “-Bring_her_forth, and let_her_be_burnt.”
2> When she was +brought_forth, she sent to her father_in_law, saying, “By the «man, whose these are, am € with_ child:” and she said, “-Discern, I_ pray_thee, whose are xthese, the signet, and xbracelets, and xstaff.”
26 And Judah acknowledged them, and said, “She shath_been more right- eous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son.” And he knew her again no more.
27 And it came_to_pass in the_time_ of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb.
23 And it came_to_pass, when she travailed, that the one put_out his hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet_thread, saying, “This came_out first.”
29 And it came_to_pass, as he drew- back his hand, that, behold, his brother came_out: and she said, “How shast_ thou_broken_forth ? this breach be up- on thee:” therefore his name was_called p Pharez.

tian.
3 And his =master saw that 4 the Lorp was with him,and that /the Lorp +made all that he +did to_prosper in his hand,

6 And he left all that he had in Jo- seph’s hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he +did_ eat. And Joseph was @ goodly person, and well favoured.
7 And it came_to_pass after xthese xthings, that his =master’s wife cast her reyes upon Joseph; and she said, “Lie with me.”
8 But he refused, and said unto his =master’s wife, “Behold, my master kwotteth not what is with me in the house, and he -hath_committed all that he hath to my hand;
° There is none greater in xthis xhouse than I; neither -hath_-he_kept_back any_thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then tcan I do xthis great xwickedness,and:sin against =God?”
10 And it came_to_pass, as she spake to Joseph day by_day, that he heark- ened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her. :
11 And it came_to_pass about xthis xtime, that Joseph went into the house to do his w~business; and there was none of the. men_of the house there within.
12 And she caught him by his gar- ment, saying, “-Lie with me:” and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him xout.
13 And it came_to_pass, when she saw that he had_left his garment in her hand, and was_fled xforth,

cried, that he left his garment with me, and fied, and got him ~xout.”

ood.”
8 And Joseph knew his -brethren, but thep knew not him.
9 And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, “He are spies: to see the_nakedness_of the land ye sare_ come.” »
10 And they said unto him, “Nay, my -lord, but to buy food sare thy ser- vants come,
ll Ge wre all one? man’s sons : we are true men, thy servants sare no spies.”
12 And he said unto them, “Nay, but to see the_nakedness_of the land ye sare_come.” *
13 And they said, “Thy servants are twelve brethren, ,“the_sons_of one tman in the_land_of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and xone 7s not.”
14 And Joseph said unto them, “That is it that I spake unto you, saying, He are spies:
15 Hereby ye shall_be_proved : by the_ life_of Pharaoh ye shall not go_forth
hence, except your xyoungest brother
come hither.
16 “Send one of you, and let_him_fetch your «brother, and ye -shall_be_kept_ in_prison, that your words may_be_ proved, whether there be any xtruth win you: or else by the_life_of Pharaoh Surely pe are spies.”
1 And he put them all_together into ward three days. .
18 And Joseph said unto them the third xday, “This -do, and ‘live; for € fear x=God :
19 Tf pe be true men, ‘let one_of your brethren be_bound in the_house_of your prison: -go pe, scarry corn for_ the_famine_of your houses :
20 But bring your xyoungest “brother unto me; so shall your words be_veri- fied, and ye shall not die.” And they did so.
21 And they said «one to another,
.|“@e are verily guilty concerning our
brother, in that we saw the_anguish_of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is xthis xdis- tress come upon us.”
22 And Reuben answered them, say- ing, “Spake I not unto you, saying, ‘Do not sin against the child ; and ye would not hear? therefore, behold, also his blood -is_required.”
2 And thep knew not that Joseph Tsunderstood them ; for “he spake unto them by an xinterpreter.
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.
% Then Joseph commanded to fill their »sacks with corn, and to restore tevery_man’s simoney into his ssack, and to give them provision for the way : and thus did he unto them.

Genesis XLII. 5,
2 And they Jaded their asses with “the corn, and departed thence.
27 And as xone_of_them opened his sesack to give his ass provender in the Vinn, he espied his s‘-money ; for, be- hold, it was in his 6sack’s mouth.
28 And he said unto his brethren, “My simoney ‘is_restored; and, lo, it is even in my &sack:” and their heart failed them, and they were_afraid, say- ing one to another, “ What is this that =God -hath_done unto us?”
27 And they came unto Jacob their father unto the_land_of Canaan, and told him -all x:that befell_unto them; saying,
30 “The iman, who is the_=lord_of the land, spake roughly to us, and stook us for spies_of “the country.
81 And we said unto him, ‘ile are true men ; we sare no spies:
82 @ie be twelve brethren, sons_of our father; xone 7s not, and the youngest ds this day with our father in the_land_ of Canaan.’
83 And the *man, the_=lord_of the country, said unto us, ‘ Hereby shall_I_ know that pe are true men; ‘leave xone of your brethren here with me, and «take food for -the_famine_of your households, and -be_gone:
34 And «bring your xyoungest ~brother unto me: then shall_I_know that pe are no spies, but that pe are true men: s0 will_I_deliver you your -brother, and ye shall_traffick in -the land.’”
8 And it came_to_pass as fhep emptied their ssacks, that, behold, tevery_man’s bundle of simoney was in his ssack: and when both thep and their father saw the_bundles_of simoney, they were_afraid.
86 And Jacob their father said unto them, “le :have_ye_bereaved of my children: Joseph zs not, and Simeon is not, and ye will_take -Benjamin away: all_these_things -are_against me.”
87 And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, “'Slay my «two sons, if I bring him not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and £ will_bring him to thee again.”
88 And he said, “My- son shall not go_down with you; for his brother -is_ dead, and he «is_left alone: if mischief ‘befall him by the way in_the_which ye go, then :shall_ye_bring_down m egray_hairs with sorrow to /hthe grave.”

4 And when tlrey were_gone_out_of the city, and not yet far_otf, Joseph said unto /his steward, “*Up, -follow after the «men; and when thou -dost_ overtake them, say unto them, ‘ Where- fore -have_ye_rewarded evil for good ?
5 Ts not this ic in which my -lord Fdrinketh, and whereby indeed he m*divineth? ye shave_done_eyil in so doing.”
6 And he overtook them, and he spake unto them xthese_same xwords.
7 And they said unto him, “ Where- fore saith my -lord ,«xthese xwords? JGod forbid that thy servants should_
it. |do according_to xthis xthing.
8 Behold, the s 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?
8 With whomsoever of thy servants it +be_found, 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 pe shall_be blameless.”
ll Then. they speedily took_down tevery_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 bsack,
13 Then they rent their clothes, and laded ‘ eyery_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 fell before him on_the_ground.
15 And Joseph said unto them, “What xdeed ts xthis that ye *have_done? * wot ye not that such a ‘man as I can cer- tainly ™ divine?”
16 And Judah said, “What shall_ we_say unto my -lord? what shall_ we_speak ? or how shall_we_clear_our- selves? x=God hath found_out sthe_ iniquity_of thy servants: behold, we are my -lord’s servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup «is_found.”
7 And he said, “/ God forbid that I should_do so: but the ‘man in whose hand the cup «is_found, he shall_be my servant; and as for pou, -get_you_up in peace unto your father.”
18 Then Judah came_near unto him, and said, “Oh my -lord; 'let thy ser- vant, I_pray_thee, speak a word in my -lord’s ears, and Het not thine anger burn against thy servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh.
19 My -lord asked his -servants, say- ing, ‘Have ye a father, or a brother ?’
20 And we said unto my -lord, ‘We have a father, an old_man, and a child of his =old_age, a little_one; and his brother sis_dead, and Ite alone is_left of his mother, and his father -loveth him,’
21 And thou saidst unto thy servants, “-Bring_him_down unto me, that Imay_ set mine eyes upon him.’
2 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,

27 And thy servant my father said unto us, ‘He 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_graye.’
39 Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his s life +is_bound_ up in the lad’s s life;
31 It «shall_come_to_pass, when he sseeth that the-lad ts not with us, that he +will_die: and thy servants -shall_ bring_down «the_gray_hairs_of thy ser- vant our father with sorrow to the grave.
82 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 d xzever.”
33 Now therefore, I_pray_thee, let thy servant abide instead_of the lad a sbondman to my -lord; and let the lad go_up with his brethren.
84 For how shall_I_go_up to my fa- ther, and the lad be not with me? lest_ peradyenture I tsee the evil that shall_ come_on my +father.”
4 5 THEN Joseph could not refrain_
himself before all x+them_that stood by him; and he eried, “Cause every ‘man to_go_out from me.” And there_stood no iman with him, while Joseph made_himself_known unto his brethren.
2 And he gwept aloud: and the Egypt- ians and the_house_of Pharaoh heard.
3 And Joseph said unto his brethren, “E am Joseph; doth my father yet live?” And his brethren could not answer hin; for they were_troubled at his presence.
4 And Joseph said unto his brethren “.«Come_near to me, I_pray_you.” An they came_near, And he said, “= am Joseph your brother, tuhont ye sold in- to_Egypt.

8 So now it was not pou that sent me hither, but x=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 : scome_down unto me, 'tarry
not:
10 And thou sshalt_dwell in the_land_ of gGoshen, and thou sshalt_be near unto me, thou, and thy schildren, and thy schildren’s schildren, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast :
ll And there -will_I_nourish thee; for yet there are five years_of famine ; lest thon, and thy household, and all that thou hast, tcome_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 shave_seen; and ye sshall_haste and *bring_down my «father hither.”
14 And he fell upon his brother Ben- jamin’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 sare_come: and it «pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
W% 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 thow -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_s children_of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons, accord- ing_to the_commandment_of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
2 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.
2 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.”
2 And they went_up out_of Egypt, and came into the_land_of Canaan un- to Jacob their father,
26 And told him, saying, “Joseph is yet alive, and he ts governor over all the_land_of Egypt.” And } Jacob's
_— fainted, for he believed them not. ;
27 And they told him of Joseph, which he had_said unto them: and when he saw cthe » ns which Joseph had_sent to the_spirit_of Jacob their father revived:
28 And Israél said, “Jt is menough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will_go
and see him before I die.”
AND Israel took_his_journey 46. with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba, and : offe: sacrifices unto the_=God_of his father Isaac.
2 And =God spake unto Israél in the_ visions_of the night, and said, “Jacob, Jacob.” And he said, “Here am I.”
3 And He said, “E am ex-God, the_ =God_of thy father: ‘fear not to go_ down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation:
4 Ewill_go_down with thee into Egypt; and & will also surely bring thee up again: and Joseph shall_put his hand upon thine eyes.”
5 And Jacob rose_up from Beer- sheba: and the_sons_of Israél 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’ daugh- ters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.
8 And these ave the_names_of the_ schildren_of Israél, which came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn.

20 And unto Joseph in the_land_of Egypt were_born Manasseh and Eph- raim, which Asenath_the_daughter_of
-| Poti-pherah 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.
2 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.
2% 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 char- iot, and went_up to meet Israél his father, to Goshen, and presented him- self unto him ; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good_while.
80 And Israél said unto Joseph, “xNow Het me die, since I -have_seen thy -face, because thou art yet alive.”
81 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 ;
82 And the «men ave shepherds, for their trade -hath_been to feed cattle ; and they shave_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 shep- herd is an abomination unto the Egyptians.”
4 THEN Joseph came and told it Pharaoh, and said, “My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, sare_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 ts your occupation?” And they said unto Pharaoh, “Thy servants q@re shepherds, both we, and also our fathers.”
Grnzsis XLVII. 19.
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 sare_come unto thee:
6 The_land_of Egypt »‘¢s 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, “h How old art thou?”
9 And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, “The_days_of the_years_of my pilgrim- age are a 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 pos- session in the_land_of Egypt, in the_ best_of the land, in the_land_of 7 Ra- meses, «as Pharaoh had_commanded.
2 And Joseph nourished his father, and his «brethren, and rall 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 ail the_ land_of Canaan fainted by reason_of the famine.
14 And Joseph gathered_up all the smoney that was_found in the_land_ of Egypt, and in the_land_of Canaan, for the corn which thep bought: and Joseph brought «the s money into Pha- raoh’s house.
15 And when sxmoney 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 smoney -faileth.”
146 And Joseph said, “-Give your cattle; and I will_give you for your cattle, if s money fail.”
Ww And they ‘brought their ~cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph tgave them bread in exchange for xhorses, and for the flocks, and for the_cattle_of the herds, and for the asses: and he / fed them with xbread for all their cattle for xthat xyear.
18 When xthat xyear was_ended, they came unto him the second xyear, and said unto him, “We will not hide it from my -lord, how that our sxmoney is_spent ; my ~lord also hath our herds_ of xcattle; there is not ought left in the_sight_of my -lord, but our bodies, and our ¢ lands;

21 And_as_for -the -people, he re- moved them to cities from one end_of the_borders_of Egypt even to the_ other_end_thereof.
2 Only the_vland_of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion assigned them of -Pharaoh, and -did_eat their -portion which Pha- jraoh gave them: wherefore they sold not their y lands.

22 And he charged them, and said unto them, “ = -am to_be_gathered unto my —people: ‘bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the_fleld_of Ephron the Hittite,

2 31 There they buried «Abraham and there they buried eIsaac and «Rebekah his wife; and there I buried «Leah.
82 The_purchase_of the field and of_ the cave that ¢s therein was from +the_ schildren_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.
5 AND Joseph fell upon his father's
0 face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.
2 And Joseph commanded his rser- vants «the physicians to embalm his -father ; and the physicians embalmed «Israél,
3 And forty days were_fulfilled for him ; for so tare_fulfilled the_days_of those which_are_embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for hin 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 shave_found grace in your eyes, -speak, I_pray_you, in the_ears_of Pharaoh, saying,

6 And Pharaoh said, “*Go_up, and ‘bury thy -father, according_as he made_thee_swear.”
7 And Joseph went_up to bury his rfather; 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 and_ of Goshen.
* And there went_up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great xcompany.

11 And when the_inhabitants_of the land, the Canaanites, saw *the mourn- ing in the_floor_of xAtad, they said,
“This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians :” wherefore the name_of it was called “a Abel-mizraim,” which is beyond Jordan.
2 And his sons did unto him aeccord- ing-as he commanded them :
3 For his sons carried him into the_ land_of Canaan, and buried him in the_ cave_of the_field_of xMach which Abraham pea with ae = th a possession of a buryingp! of-Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.

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 al- ready. .
6 And Joseph died, and all his breth- ren, and all xthat xgeneration.
7 And the.schildren_of Israél were_ fruitful, and increased_abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding ae and the land was_filled_with
at.
8 Now there arose_up a new king over Egypt, which knew not “Joseph.
9 And he said unto his people, “Be- hold, the_people_of the_schildren_of Israel ae more and mightier than we;
410 -Come_on, ‘let_us_deal_wisely with them ; lest they multiply, and it scome_ to_pass, that, when there 'falleth_out any_war, they join also unto our ene- mies, and -fight against us, and so *get_ them_up out_of the land,’
il Therefore they did_set over them taskmasters to aftlict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh ‘treasure cities, »-Pithom and »-Raam-
es.
12 But the_more they ‘afflicted them, the_more they ‘multiplied and tgrew. And they were_grieved because of the schildren_of Israél.
13 And the Egyptians made -the_ s children_of Israel to_serve with rigour:
14 And they made their -lives bitter with hard bondage, in mortar, and in =brick, and in all_manner_of service in the field: -all their service, wherein they made_them-_serve, was with rigour.
45 And the_king_of Egypt spake to the Hebrew xmidwives, of which the_ name-_of the one was sShiphrah, 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: ie if it be a daughter, then she -shall_
ive.”
7 But the midwives feared %=God, and did not aas the_king_of Egypt commanded them, but saved -the men_ children alive.
18 And the_king_of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, “Why shave_ye_done xthis xthing, and hayve_saved -the men-_children alive?”
19 And the midwives said unto Pha- raoh, “ Because the Hebrew_women are

not as the Egyptian women; for thep wre lively, and are_delivered ere the midwives tcome_in unto them.”
20 Therefore =God dealt_well with the midwives: and the -people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
21 And it_came_to_pass, because the midwives feared x=God, that He made them houses,
22 And Pharaoh charged all his —peo- ple, saying, “Every xson that is_born ye shall_cast into the river, and every xdaughter ye shall_saye_alive,”
2 AND there went a iman of the. house_of Levi, and took to wife a rdaughter_of Levi.
2 And the woman conceived, and bare a son ; and when she saw hin that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
8 And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an «ark_of bulrushes, and daubed it with xslime and with xpitch, and put -the child therein ; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink.
4 And his sister stood afar_off, to_wit what twould_be_done to him.
5 And the_daughter_of Pharaoh came_down to wash herself at the river ; and her maidens +walked_along by the river’s side; and when she saw rthe ark among the flags, she sent her -maid to fetch it.
© And when she had_opened it, she saw cthe child: and, behold, « the babe 4zwept. And she had_compassion on him, and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.”
7 Then said his sister to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and «call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew_women, that she may-_unurse -the child for thee?”
8 And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “:Go.” And the maid went and called the child’s «mother.
9 And Pharaoh’s daughter said unto her, “‘Take xthis Xchild away, and ‘nurse it for me, and £ will_give thee thy -wages.” And the woman took the child, and nursed it.
10 And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name ™ Moses: and she said, “Be- cause I drew him out_of the =water.”

18 And Moses went and returned to Jj Jethro his father_in_law, and said un- to him, “*Let_me_go, I_pray_thee, and return unto my bret: Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive.” And Jethro said to Moses, “*Go in peace,”
19 And J the Lorp said unto Moses in Midian, “-Go, ‘return into Egypt: for all the @ men sare_dead x-which sought thy s life.”
And Moses took his «wife and his rsons, and set them upon an xass, and he returned to the_land_of Egypt : and Moses took -the_rod_of x=God in his hand.

AND afterward Moses and Aaron went_in and told » Pharaoh,“ Thus saith Jthe Lorp =God_of Israél, ‘-Let My -people go, that they may_hold_a_ |feast unto Me in the wilderness.’”
2 And Pharaoh said, “Who 7s ‘the Lorp, that I tshould_obey His voice to let neither will_I_let Israél go.”
3 And they said, “The_=God_of the Hebrews hath met with us : ‘et_us_go, we_pray_thee, three days’ journey into the «desert, and sacrifice unto ‘the Lorp our =God; lest He 'fall-upon us with xpestilence, or with the sword.”
4 And the_king_of Egypt said unto them, “ Wherefore *do ye, Moses and Aaron, flet -the people from their works? «get you unto your burdens.”
5 And Pharaoh said, “Behold, the_ people_of the land now are many, and ve-make them rest from their burdens.”
6 And Pharaoh commanded the same xday «the taskmasters « of the people, and their -officers, saying,
7 “Ye shall no more give the people straw to make x=brick, as heretofore: Het them go and «gather straw for themselves.
8 And -the_” tale_of the bricks, which thep +did_make heretofore, ye shall_lay upon them; ye shall not diminish ought thereof: for thep be idle; there- fore thep -cry, saying, ‘FLet_us_go and sacrifice to our =God.
° 'Let there more xwork be_laid upon the «men, that they may_labour therein ; and Het them not regard vain words,”
10 And the_taskmasters_of the people went_out, and their officers, and they spake to the people, saying, “Thus «saith Pharaoh, ‘I will not +give you straw.’
11 -Go pe, get you straw where ye Fean_find it: yet not ought of your work shall_be_diminished.”
12 So the people were_scattered_ abroad throughout all the_land_of Egypt to gather stubble instead_of xstraw.
13 And the taskmasters +hasted them, saying, “+Fulfil your works, « your daily tasks, as when there_was straw.”
14 And the_officers_of the_s children_ of Israél, which Pharaoh’s taskmasters had_set over them, were_beaten, and demanded, “ Wherefore -haye ye not fulfilled your task in making_brick both yesterday and to-day, as heretofore ?”
15’ Then the_officers_of the_s children_ of Israél came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, “Wherefore ‘dealest thou thus with thy servants ?
16 There *is no straw given unto thy

servants, and they Re =brick :’ and, behold, thy servants are +beaten ; but the_fault_ts_in thine_own people.” '
17 But he said, “Pe are idle, ye are idle: therefore pe say, ‘*Let_us_goand do_sacrifice to the Lorn.’
18 -Go therefore now, and «work ; for there shall no straw be_given you, yet shall_ye_deliver the_tale_of bricks.”
19 And the_officers_of the_s children_ of Israél did_see that thep were in evil case, after it was_said, “Ye tshall not minish ought from your bricks of your daily task.”
20 And they met -Moses and ~Aaron, sawho_stood in the way, as they came_ forth from -Pharaoh:
21 And they said unto them, “! Zhe Lorp ‘look upon you, and judge; be- cause ye have made our ssayour ¢to_ be_abhorred in the_eyes_of Pharaoh, and in the_eyes_of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us.”
2 And Moses returned unto / the Lorp, and said, “«=Lord, wherefore shast _Thou _so _evil_entreated xthis people? why is it that Thou -hast_sent me?
23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in Thy name, he hath_done_evil to xthis xpeople; neither hast_Thou_ delivered Thy «people at_all.”
THEN ‘the Lorp said unto Moses,
““Now shalt_thou_see what I will_
do to Pharaoh : for with a strong hand
shall_he_let_them_go, and with a strong
Pa shall_he_drive_them out_of his and.”
2 And =God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, “£ am ‘the Lorn:
3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of e-God =Almighty, but by My name J Jehoyah was I not known to them.
4 And I have also established My -covenant with them, to give_them ethe_land_of Canaan, -the_land_of their so =pilgrimage, wherein they were_ strangers.
5 And £ have also heard -the_groan- ing_of the_s children_of Israél, whom the Egyptians +keep_in_bondage ; and I have_remembered My «covenant.

18 And the fish that is in the river shall_die, and the river -shall_stink; and the Egyptians -shall_loathe to drink_of the water / of the river.”
19 And J the Lorp spake unto Moses “sSay unto Aaron, “lake thy rod, an -stretch_out thine hand upon the_wa- ters_of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their c rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools_of water, that they tmay_become blood; and that there ‘may_be blood throughout all the_ land_of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.”
20 And Moses and Aaron did so, «as J the Lorp commanded; and he lifted_ up the rod, and smote -the waters that were in the river, in the_sight_of Pha- raoh, and in the_sight_of his servants ; and all the waters that were in the river were_turned to blood.
21 And the fish that was in the river died ; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink_of the =wa- ter / of the river ; and there was xblood throughout all the_land_of Egypt.
22 And the_magicians_of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pha- raoh’s heart »was_hardened, neither did_he_hearken unto them; «as ! the Lorp had_said.
23 And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did_he_set his heart to this also.
% And all the Egyptians digged oround_about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink / of the_water_of the river.
25 And seven days were_fulfilled, after that J the Lorp had_smitten ~ the river.
AND ‘the Lorp spake unto Moses, 8 “Go unto Pharaoh, and «say unto him, ‘Thus -saith Jthe Lorp, -Let My “people go, that they 'may_serve Me.
2 And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, £ will ssmite vall thy borders with x frogs : f

Aaron, and said, “*Intreat 4 the Lorn, that He may_take_away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will_ let -the people 80, that they may.do_ sacrifice unto 4 the Lor.”
® And Moses said unto Pharaoh, “b-Glory over me: »/when shall_I_in- treat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they 'may_ remain in the river only?”
10 And he said, “,/To-morrow.” And he said, “Be it according_to thy word: that thou_'mayest_know that there is none like unto 7 the Lorp our =God.
11 And the frogs -shall_depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall_remain in the river only.”
12 And Moses and Aaron went_out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto ‘the Lorp because_of the frogs which He had_brought against Pharaoh.
13 And ‘the Lorp did according_to the_word_of Moses; and the frogs died out_of the houses, out_of the 3, and out_of the fields. .
14 And they gathered them together upon heaps : and the land stank.
15 But when Pharaoh saw that there_ was xrespite, he m hardened his -heart, and hearkened not unto them; «as 3 the Lorp had_said.
16 And Jthe Lorp said unto Moses,| p
‘Say unto Aaron, “*Stretch_out thy -rod, and -smite = the_dust_of the land, that it -may_become lice throughout all the_land_of Egypt.”
Ww And the id so; for Aaron stretched_out his -hand with his pa and smote sthe_dust_of the earth, an it became «lice in « xman, and in xbeast ; all the_dust_of the land became lice throughout all the_land_of Egypt. 4
‘Is And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring_forth “ice, but they could not : so there were «lice upon axman, and upon xbeast.
19 Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh,“ This zs the_finger_of =God:” and Pharaoh’s heart / was_hardened, and he hearkened not unto them ; «as ‘the Lory had_said.
20 And J the Lorp said unto Moses, «stand before Pharaoh ; lo, he «cometh_ forth to the water ; and -say unto him, ‘Thus saith J the Lorn, *Let My people go, that they may_serve Me.

2% And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, “+Go ye, -sacrifice to your =God in the land.”
26 And Moses said, “It -is not meet so to do; for we shall_sacrifice the_abomi- nation_of the Egyptians to J the Lorp our =God: lo, shall_we_sacrifice -the_ abomination_of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us?

22 And Moses said, “Behold, £ +go_ out from thee, and I -will_intreat 4 the Lorp that the -swarms of flies ‘may_ depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, to_morrow : but Het not Pharaoh deal_deceitfully any more in not letting -the people go to sacrifice to J the Lorp.”

81 And Jthe Lorp did according_to the_word_of Moses; and He removed the -swarms of /lies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people ; there remained not one,
32 And Pharaoh ™ hardened his heart at xthis xtime also, neither would_he_ let -the people go.
THEN / the Lorp said unto Moses, “-Go_in unto Pharaoh, and ‘tell him, ‘Thus -saith Jthe Lorp =God_of the Hebrews, -Let My they 'may-_serve Me.
2 For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt_hold them still,
3 Behold, the_hand_of ' the Lorp +is upon thy cattle which 7s in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep : theve shall be a very griev- ous p murrain,
4 And ‘the Lorp «shall_sever between the_cattle_of Israél and the_cattle_of Egypt: and there shall nothing die ofall that is the s children’s of Israel.”
5 And /*the Lorp appointed a_set_ time, saying, “To_morrow /the Lorp shall_do xthis xthing in the land.”
6 And J the Lorp did xthat *thing on the morrow, and all the_cattle_of Egypt died: but of the_cattle_of the_s chil-
‘|dren_of Israél died not one.
7 And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there_was not one of the_cattle_of the Israelites dead. And the_heart_of Pha- raoh / was_hardened, and he did not let the people go.
8 And Jthe Lorp said unto Moses and unto Aaron, “*Take to you hand- fuls_of ashes_of the furnace, and -let Moses sprinkle it toward the =heaven in the_sight_of Pharaoh.
Exopus IX. 24.
9 And it -shall_become small_dust in all the_land_of Egypt, and -shall_be a boil breaking_forth with blains upon axman, and upon xbeast, throughout all the_land_of Egypt.”
10 And they took vashes_of the fur- nace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward x-heaven ; and it became a boil breaking_forth with blains upon «xman, and upon xbeast.
1 And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.
2 And ‘the Lorp shardened -the_ heart_of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; «as J the Lor had_spoken unto Moses.
13 And Jthe Lorp said unto Moses, “sRise_up_early in the morning, and ‘stand before Pharaoh, and -say unto him, ‘Thus saith Jthe Lorp =God_of the Hebrews, -Let My «people go, that they may_serve Me.
14 For E will at xthis xtime 4send -all My plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou tmayest_know that there is none like Me in all the earth.
1s For now I -will_stretch.out My chand, that I -may_smite thee and thy ‘people with xpestilence; and thou shalt_be_cut_off from the earth.
16 And in_very_deed for this cause have I mraised_thee_up, for to shew in thee My «power; and that My name *may_be_declared throughout all the earth.
17 As_yet +exaltest_thou_thyself a- gainst My people, that thou wilt not let_ them_go?
18 Behold, to-morrow about this_time I will +cause_it_to_rain a very grievous hail, such as -hath not been in Egypt since the_foundation thereof even until now.
19 Send therefore now, and sgather thy «cattle, and -all that thou hast in the fleld; for upon every 2xman and xbeast which shall_be_found in the field, and shall not be_brought home, the hail -shall_come_down upon them, and they -shall_die.’”
20 xs He_that feared -the_word_of ! the Lorp among the_servants_of Pharaoh made his -servants and his -cattle flee into the houses :

*t And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the v-thunders were_ceased, he sinned yet more, and mhardened his heart, he and his ser- vants.
* And the_heart_of Pharaoh “was_ hardened, neither would_he_let -the_ schildren_of Israél go*; «as the Lorp
had_spoken by Ȣ Moses.
1 AND ‘the Lorp said unto Moses “.Go_in unto Pharaoh: for
‘have_hardened his cheart, and -the_
heart_of his servants, that I might_shew
these My signs ‘before him:
2 And that thou mayest_tell in the_ ears_of thy son, and of thy son’s son, -what_things I have wrought in Egypt, and My ssigns which I -have_done among them; that ye -may_know how_ that £ am the Lor.”
3 And Moses and Aaron came_in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, “Thus saith / the Lorp =God_of the Hebrews, How long -wilt_thou_refuse to humble_
thyself before Me? -let My people go, |
that they may_serve Me.
4 Else, if thon refuse to let My -people go, behold, to-morrow will I +bring the locusts into thy # coast:
> And they shall_coyer -the_e face_of the earth, that one cannot be_able to see the earth: and they -shall_eat -the residue_of that_which is_escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and sshall_eat -eyery xtree which groweth for you out_of the field :
6 And they -shall_fill thy houses, and the_houses_of all thy servants, and the_

7 And Pharaoh's servants said unto him, “How long shall be a snare unto us? +let *the «men go, that they may_serve 4«the Lorp their =God: ‘knowest thou not yet that Egypt -is_ destroyed ?” ;
8 And «Moses and +Aaron were_ brought_again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them, “*Go, -serve ‘!-the Lorp your =God: but who ,care they that -shall_go?”
° And Moses said, “We will_go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our
flocks and with our herds will_we_go:
for iwe must hold a feast unto ’ the}; ;
Lorp.” 10 And he said unto them, “Let / the
Lorp be so with you, as I will_let pou} ™
go, and your -little ones: -look to it; for evil 7s before you.
11 Not so: -go now ye that are sxmen, and -serve J the Lorp ; for that pe +did_ desire.” And thep were_driven out from Pharaoh’s ~presence.
2 And ‘the Lorp said unto Moses, “-Stretch_out thine hand over the_ land_of Egypt for the loc that they may_come_up upon the_land_of Egypt, and eat revery herb_of the land, even rall that the hail hath left.”
18 And Moses stretched_forth his -rod over the_land_of Egypt, and 4 the Lorp brought an east wind upon the land all xthat xday, and all that night; and when it_was xmorning, the east wind brought the -locusts.
14 And the locusts went_up over all the_land_of Egypt, and in the_? coasts_of t: very grievous were they ; before them there_were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall_be such.
15 For they covered rthe_¢ face_of the whole Jearth, so that the land was_ darkened; and they did_eat every herb_of the land, and -all the_fruit_of the trees which the hail had_left: and there_remained not any green_thing in the trees, or in the_herbs_of the field, through all the_land_of Egypt.
16. Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in_haste; and he said, “I have sinned against J the Lorp your =God, and against you.
17 Now therefore -forgive, I_pray_thee, my sin only this once, and -intreat 4 the Lorp your =God, that He may_take_ away from me *this xdeath only.”
18 And he went_out from Pharaoh,| Locusts
and intreated J the Lorp.
19 And Jthe Lorp turned a mighty/|/. nel
strong west wind, which took_away «the locusts, and /cast them into the rRed sea; there_remained not one locust in all the_? coasts_of Egypt.
2 But Jthe Lorp *hartiened Pha-|, | raoh’s theart, so_that he would not let

yen, that there_may_be darkness over the_land_of Egypt, even darkness which may _be_felt.”
2 And Moses stretched_forth his chand toward ~-heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the_land_of Egypt three days: 5
They saw not one -another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but al the_schildren_of Israél had light in their dwellings.
24 And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, ‘*Go ye, -serve ‘-the Lorn; only et your flocks and your herds be_ stayed: let your little_ones also go with you.”
25 And Moses said, “Thou must_give ius also sacrifices and « burnt_offerings, that we -may_p sacrifice unto !the Lorp our =God.
26 Our cattle also shall_go with us; there shall not a hoof be_left_behind ; for thereof must_we_take to serve J the Lorp our =God ; and Wwe know not with what we must serve J+the Lorp, until we come thither.”
2% But J the Lorp stthardened Pha- raoh’s -heart, and he would not let_ them_go.
28 And Pharaoh said unto him, “+Get thee from me, ‘take_heed to thyself, tsee my face no more; for in that day thou seest my face thou shalt_die.”
29 And Moses said, “Thou -hast_spo- ken well, I will_see thy face again no
more.”
1 AND ‘the Lorp said unto Moses, “Vet will_I_bring one plague
more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt;
afterwards he_will_let pow go hence:
when he shall_let yow go, he shall_
surely thrust pon out hence altogether.
2 ‘Speak now in the_ears_of the peanle, and let ‘every_man «borrow of
is neighbour, and every_woman of her ‘neighbour, jewels_of silver, and jewels_ of gold.”
3 And ‘the Lorp gave the people efavour in the_sight_of the Egyptians. Moreover the *man Moses was very great in the_land_of Egypt, in the_ sight_of Pharaoh’s servants, and in the_ sight_of the people.
4 And Moses said, “Thus «saith J the Lorp, About xmidnight will E +go_out into the_midst_of Egypt:
5 And all the firstborn in the_land_of Egypt ‘shall_die, from the_firstborn_of Pharaoh *+that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the_firstborn_of the maid- servant that 7s behind the mill; and all the_firstborn_of beasts,
6 And there ‘shall_be a great cry throughout all the_land_ef Egypt, such as there_was none like it, nor shall_be like it any_more.
7 But against any of the_schildren_ of Israél shall not a dog move his tongue, against ‘man or beast: that ye may_know how that /the Lorp tdoth_ dput_a_difference between the Egyp- tians and » bIsraél.
8 And all these thy servants -shall_ come_down unto me, and ‘-bow_down_ themselves unto me, saying, ‘Get thee

out, and all the people that follow thee:’ and after that I will_go out.” And he went_out from Pharaoh in ¢@ xgreat anger.
9 And 'the Lorp said unto Moses, “Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you; that My wonders may_be_multiplied in the_land_of Egypt.”
10 And Moses and Aaron did -all xthese xwonders before Pharaoh: and Jthe Lorp st hardened Pharaoh’s sheart, so that he would not let -the_s children_ of Israél go out_of his land.

AND ‘the Lorp spake unto Moses
and vAaron in the_land_of Egypt, saying, 2« This xmonth shall be unto you
the_? beginning_of months: it shall be the_first month_of the year to you.
3-Speak ye unto all the_congrega- tion_of Israél, saying, ‘In the tenth day of xthis xmonth they shall_take to them ‘every_man a !lamb, according_to the_ house_of their fathers, a lamb for a xhouse :
4 And if the household tbe_too_little for the lamb, -let him and his neighbour xnext unto his house take 7¢ according_ to the_number_of the souls; ‘every_ man according to his eating shall_ make_your_count for the lamb.
5 Your lamb shall_be without_cblem- ish, a male_s of the first year: ye shall_ take_it_out from the sheep, or from the goats :
6 And ye -shall_keep_it_up until the fourteenth day of the same xmonth: and the_whole assembly_of the -con- gregation_of Israél -shall_kill it 4in the =evening.
7 And they sshall_take of the blood, and «strike 7¢ on the two xside_posts and on the upper_door_post ° of the houses, wherein they shall_eat it.
8 And they -shall_eat xthat xnight, roast_with fire, and =un- leavened_bread ; and with bitter herbs they shall_eat it.
9tEat not of it raw, nor 2 sodden at_ all ‘with x=water, but roast_with fire; his head with his legs, and with the_ purtenance_thereof.
10 And ye shall_let nothing of it re- main until the morning; and x+that_ which remaineth of it until the morn- ing ye shall_burn with ~fire.
it And thus shall_ye_eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall_eat it in haste: it is ‘the Lornp’s P passover.
22 For] w-will_pass through the_land_ of Egypt xthis xnight, and +will_smite all the firstborn in the_land_of Egypt, both «man and beast; and against all the_gods_of Egypt I will_execute =judg- ment: £ am ‘the Lorp.
18 And the blood -shall_be to you for a token upon the houses where pe are: and when I -see -the blood, I -will_ ppass_over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the_land_of Egypt.
14 And xthis xday -shall_be unto you for a memorial; and ye -shall_keep it
