4.2 MiB

1GEN11In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2GEN12And 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.
3GEN13And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4GEN14And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5GEN15And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
6GEN16¶ And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7GEN17And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8GEN18And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
9GEN19¶ And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
10GEN110And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11GEN111And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12GEN112And 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.
13GEN113And the evening and the morning were the third day.
14GEN114¶ And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15GEN115And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16GEN116And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17GEN117And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18GEN118And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19GEN119And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
20GEN120And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21GEN121And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
22GEN122And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
23GEN123And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24GEN124¶ And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25GEN125And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
26GEN126¶ And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27GEN127So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28GEN128And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29GEN129¶ And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30GEN130And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
31GEN131And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
32GEN21Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
33GEN22And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
34GEN23And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
35GEN24¶ These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
36GEN25And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
37GEN26But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
38GEN27And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
39GEN28¶ And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
40GEN29And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
41GEN210And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
42GEN211The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
43GEN212And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
44GEN213And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
45GEN214And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
46GEN215And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
47GEN216And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
48GEN217But 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.
49GEN218¶ And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
50GEN219And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
51GEN220And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
52GEN221And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
53GEN222And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
54GEN223And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
55GEN224Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
56GEN225And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
57GEN31Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
58GEN32And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
59GEN33But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
60GEN34And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
61GEN35For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
62GEN36And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
63GEN37And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
64GEN38And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
65GEN39And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
66GEN310And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
67GEN311And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
68GEN312And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
69GEN313And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
70GEN314And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
71GEN315And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
72GEN316Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
73GEN317And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
74GEN318Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
75GEN319In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
76GEN320And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
77GEN321Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
78GEN322¶ And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
79GEN323Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
80GEN324So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
81GEN41And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
82GEN42And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
83GEN43And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
84GEN44And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
85GEN45But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
86GEN46And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
87GEN47If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
88GEN48And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
89GEN49¶ And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper?
90GEN410And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.
91GEN411And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;
92GEN412When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
93GEN413And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
94GEN414Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
95GEN415And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
96GEN416¶ And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
97GEN417And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
98GEN418And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
99GEN419¶ And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
100GEN420And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.
101GEN421And his brother’s name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
102GEN422And Zillah, she also bare Tubal-cain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.
103GEN423And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
104GEN424If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
105GEN425¶ And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
106GEN426And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
107GEN51This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
108GEN52Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
109GEN53¶ And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:
110GEN54And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:
111GEN55And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.
112GEN56And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos:
113GEN57And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters:
114GEN58And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died.
115GEN59¶ And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan:
116GEN510And Enos lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters:
117GEN511And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years: and he died.
118GEN512¶ And Cainan lived seventy years, and begat Mahalaleel:
119GEN513And Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel eight hundred and forty years, and begat sons and daughters:
120GEN514And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years: and he died.
121GEN515¶ And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat Jared:
122GEN516And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters:
123GEN517And all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred ninety and five years: and he died.
124GEN518¶ And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch:
125GEN519And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
126GEN520And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died.
127GEN521¶ And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:
128GEN522And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
129GEN523And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
130GEN524And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
131GEN525And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech:
132GEN526And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters:
133GEN527And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died.
134GEN528¶ And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:
135GEN529And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD hath cursed.
136GEN530And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters:
137GEN531And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died.
138GEN532And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
139GEN61And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
140GEN62That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
141GEN63And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
142GEN64There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
143GEN65¶ And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
144GEN66And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
145GEN67And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
146GEN68But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
147GEN69¶ These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
148GEN610And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
149GEN611The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
150GEN612And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
151GEN613And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
152GEN614¶ Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
153GEN615And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
154GEN616A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
155GEN617And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
156GEN618But 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.
157GEN619And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
158GEN620Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
159GEN621And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
160GEN622Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
161GEN71And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
162GEN72Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
163GEN73Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
164GEN74For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
165GEN75And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.
166GEN76And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
167GEN77¶ And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
168GEN78Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
169GEN79There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
170GEN710And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
171GEN711¶ In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
172GEN712And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
173GEN713In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
174GEN714They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.
175GEN715And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
176GEN716And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
177GEN717And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.
178GEN718And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
179GEN719And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
180GEN720Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
181GEN721And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
182GEN722All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
183GEN723And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
184GEN724And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
185GEN81And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;
186GEN82The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
187GEN83And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
188GEN84And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
189GEN85And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.
190GEN86¶ And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
191GEN87And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
192GEN88Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
193GEN89But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.
194GEN810And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
195GEN811And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
196GEN812And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.
197GEN813¶ And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.
198GEN814And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
199GEN815¶ And God spake unto Noah, saying,
200GEN816Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee.
201GEN817Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
202GEN818And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him:
203GEN819Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.
204GEN820¶ And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
205GEN821And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
206GEN822While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
207GEN91And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
208GEN92And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
209GEN93Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
210GEN94But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
211GEN95And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man’s brother will I require the life of man.
212GEN96Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
213GEN97And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
214GEN98¶ And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
215GEN99And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
216GEN910And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
217GEN911And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
218GEN912And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
219GEN913I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
220GEN914And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
221GEN915And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
222GEN916And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
223GEN917And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
224GEN918¶ And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
225GEN919These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.
226GEN920And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
227GEN921And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
228GEN922And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
229GEN923And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness.
230GEN924And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
231GEN925And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
232GEN926And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
233GEN927God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
234GEN928¶ And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
235GEN929And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
236GEN101Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.
237GEN102The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
238GEN103And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
239GEN104And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
240GEN105By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
241GEN106¶ And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
242GEN107And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.
243GEN108And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
244GEN109He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
245GEN1010And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
246GEN1011Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,
247GEN1012And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.
248GEN1013And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
249GEN1014And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.
250GEN1015¶ And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth,
251GEN1016And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,
252GEN1017And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
253GEN1018And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.
254GEN1019And 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.
255GEN1020These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.
256GEN1021¶ Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.
257GEN1022The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
258GEN1023And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
259GEN1024And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.
260GEN1025And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan.
261GEN1026And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,
262GEN1027And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
263GEN1028And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
264GEN1029And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan.
265GEN1030And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.
266GEN1031These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
267GEN1032These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
268GEN111And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
269GEN112And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
270GEN113And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
271GEN114And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
272GEN115And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
273GEN116And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
274GEN117Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
275GEN118So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
276GEN119Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
277GEN1110¶ These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:
278GEN1111And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
279GEN1112And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah:
280GEN1113And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
281GEN1114And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:
282GEN1115And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
283GEN1116And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:
284GEN1117And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.
285GEN1118And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:
286GEN1119And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.
287GEN1120And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:
288GEN1121And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.
289GEN1122And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:
290GEN1123And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
291GEN1124And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:
292GEN1125And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.
293GEN1126And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
294GEN1127¶ Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
295GEN1128And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
296GEN1129And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram’s wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor’s wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
297GEN1130But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
298GEN1131And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son’s son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram’s wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
299GEN1132And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.
300GEN121Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
301GEN122And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
302GEN123And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
303GEN124So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
304GEN125And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
305GEN126¶ And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
306GEN127And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.
307GEN128And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, having Beth-el on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.
308GEN129And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.
309GEN1210¶ And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.
310GEN1211And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon:
311GEN1212Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.
312GEN1213Say, 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.
313GEN1214¶ And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
314GEN1215The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.
315GEN1216And 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.
316GEN1217And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram’s wife.
317GEN1218And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
318GEN1219Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.
319GEN1220And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
320GEN131And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.
321GEN132And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
322GEN133And he went on his journeys from the south even to Beth-el, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth-el and Hai;
323GEN134Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.
324GEN135¶ And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
325GEN136And 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.
326GEN137And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram’s cattle and the herdmen of Lot’s cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.
327GEN138And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.
328GEN139Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.
329GEN1310And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.
330GEN1311Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.
331GEN1312Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
332GEN1313But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.
333GEN1314¶ And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
334GEN1315For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
335GEN1316And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.
336GEN1317Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.
337GEN1318Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.
338GEN141And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations;
339GEN142That these made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.
340GEN143All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.
341GEN144Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
342GEN145And 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,
343GEN146And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto El-paran, which is by the wilderness.
344GEN147And they returned, and came to En-mishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazezon-tamar.
345GEN148And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar;) and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim;
346GEN149With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with five.
347GEN1410And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain.
348GEN1411And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.
349GEN1412And they took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
350GEN1413¶ And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram.
351GEN1414And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.
352GEN1415And 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.
353GEN1416And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
354GEN1417¶ 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.
355GEN1418And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.
356GEN1419And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:
357GEN1420And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
358GEN1421And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.
359GEN1422And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,
360GEN1423That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:
361GEN1424Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.
362GEN151After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
363GEN152And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
364GEN153And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
365GEN154And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
366GEN155And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
367GEN156And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
368GEN157And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.
369GEN158And he said, Lord GOD, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
370GEN159And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
371GEN1510And 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.
372GEN1511And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.
373GEN1512And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
374GEN1513And 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;
375GEN1514And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
376GEN1515And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
377GEN1516But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
378GEN1517And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.
379GEN1518In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
380GEN1519The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
381GEN1520And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
382GEN1521And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
383GEN161Now Sarai Abram’s wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
384GEN162And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
385GEN163And Sarai Abram’s wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.
386GEN164¶ And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
387GEN165And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and thee.
388GEN166But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.
389GEN167¶ And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.
390GEN168And he said, Hagar, Sarai’s maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.
391GEN169And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
392GEN1610And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
393GEN1611And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
394GEN1612And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
395GEN1613And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?
396GEN1614Wherefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
397GEN1615¶ And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son’s name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.
398GEN1616And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.
399GEN171And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
400GEN172And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
401GEN173And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
402GEN174As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
403GEN175Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.
404GEN176And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
405GEN177And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.
406GEN178And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.
407GEN179¶ And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.
408GEN1710This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.
409GEN1711And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.
410GEN1712And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.
411GEN1713He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
412GEN1714And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.
413GEN1715¶ And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.
414GEN1716And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.
415GEN1717Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?
416GEN1718And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!
417GEN1719And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.
418GEN1720And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
419GEN1721But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.
420GEN1722And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.
421GEN1723¶ And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham’s house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had said unto him.
422GEN1724And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
423GEN1725And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
424GEN1726In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son.
425GEN1727And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
426GEN181And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
427GEN182And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,
428GEN183And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
429GEN184Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
430GEN185And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.
431GEN186And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.
432GEN187And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it.
433GEN188And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.
434GEN189¶ And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
435GEN1810And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him.
436GEN1811Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
437GEN1812Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
438GEN1813And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?
439GEN1814Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.
440GEN1815Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
441GEN1816¶ And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
442GEN1817And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
443GEN1818Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
444GEN1819For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
445GEN1820And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
446GEN1821I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
447GEN1822And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
448GEN1823¶ And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
449GEN1824Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?
450GEN1825That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
451GEN1826And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
452GEN1827And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:
453GEN1828Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.
454GEN1829And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty’s sake.
455GEN1830And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.
456GEN1831And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty’s sake.
457GEN1832And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten’s sake.
458GEN1833And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.
459GEN191And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;
460GEN192And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant’s house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.
461GEN193And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.
462GEN194¶ But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
463GEN195And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
464GEN196And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
465GEN197And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
466GEN198Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.
467GEN199And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.
468GEN1910But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
469GEN1911And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
470GEN1912¶ And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:
471GEN1913For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.
472GEN1914And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.
473GEN1915¶ And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
474GEN1916And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
475GEN1917¶ And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
476GEN1918And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:
477GEN1919Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:
478GEN1920Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.
479GEN1921And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.
480GEN1922Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
481GEN1923¶ The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
482GEN1924Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
483GEN1925And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
484GEN1926¶ But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
485GEN1927¶ And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD:
486GEN1928And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.
487GEN1929¶ And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.
488GEN1930¶ And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
489GEN1931And 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:
490GEN1932Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
491GEN1933And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
492GEN1934And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
493GEN1935And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
494GEN1936Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
495GEN1937And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
496GEN1938And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Ben-ammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.
497GEN201And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
498GEN202And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
499GEN203But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man’s wife.
500GEN204But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?
501GEN205Said 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.
502GEN206And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.
503GEN207Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.
504GEN208Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid.
505GEN209Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.
506GEN2010And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?
507GEN2011And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife’s sake.
508GEN2012And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
509GEN2013And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father’s house, that I said unto her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt shew unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.
510GEN2014And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
511GEN2015And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.
512GEN2016And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved.
513GEN2017¶ So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.
514GEN2018For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham’s wife.
515GEN211And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
516GEN212For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
517GEN213And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
518GEN214And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
519GEN215And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
520GEN216¶ And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.
521GEN217And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old age.
522GEN218And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.
523GEN219¶ And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.
524GEN2110Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.
525GEN2111And the thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight because of his son.
526GEN2112¶ And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
527GEN2113And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
528GEN2114And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
529GEN2115And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
530GEN2116And 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.
531GEN2117And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.
532GEN2118Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.
533GEN2119And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.
534GEN2120And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
535GEN2121And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
536GEN2122¶ And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest:
537GEN2123Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son: but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.
538GEN2124And Abraham said, I will swear.
539GEN2125And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.
540GEN2126And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to day.
541GEN2127And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.
542GEN2128And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
543GEN2129And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?
544GEN2130And he said, For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.
545GEN2131Wherefore he called that place Beer-sheba; because there they sware both of them.
546GEN2132Thus 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.
547GEN2133¶ And Abraham planted a grove in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.
548GEN2134And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines’ land many days.
549GEN221And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
550GEN222And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
551GEN223¶ And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.
552GEN224Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
553GEN225And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.
554GEN226And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.
555GEN227And 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?
556GEN228And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
557GEN229And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
558GEN2210And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
559GEN2211And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
560GEN2212And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.
561GEN2213And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
562GEN2214And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
563GEN2215¶ And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,
564GEN2216And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:
565GEN2217That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
566GEN2218And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
567GEN2219So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
568GEN2220¶ And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor;
569GEN2221Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
570GEN2222And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
571GEN2223And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
572GEN2224And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
573GEN231And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were the years of the life of Sarah.
574GEN232And Sarah died in Kirjath-arba; the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
575GEN233¶ And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying,
576GEN234I am a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a possession of a buryingplace with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.
577GEN235And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him,
578GEN236Hear us, my lord: thou art a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead.
579GEN237And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth.
580GEN238And he communed with them, saying, If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight; hear me, and intreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,
581GEN239That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which is in the end of his field; for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me for a possession of a buryingplace amongst you.
582GEN2310And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, even of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying,
583GEN2311Nay, my lord, hear me: the field give I thee, and the cave that is therein, I give it thee; in the presence of the sons of my people give I it thee: bury thy dead.
584GEN2312And Abraham bowed down himself before the people of the land.
585GEN2313And he spake unto Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, But if thou wilt give it, I pray thee, hear me: I will give thee money for the field; take it of me, and I will bury my dead there.
586GEN2314And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,
587GEN2315My lord, hearken unto me: the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver; what is that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.
588GEN2316And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant.
589GEN2317¶ And the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the borders round about, were made sure
590GEN2318Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city.
591GEN2319And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan.
592GEN2320And the field, and the cave that is therein, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a buryingplace by the sons of Heth.
593GEN241And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
594GEN242And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:
595GEN243And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
596GEN244But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.
597GEN245And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?
598GEN246And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.
599GEN247¶ The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.
600GEN248And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.
601GEN249And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter.
602GEN2410¶ And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.
603GEN2411And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, even the time that women go out to draw water.
604GEN2412And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.
605GEN2413Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:
606GEN2414And 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.
607GEN2415¶ And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
608GEN2416And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
609GEN2417And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.
610GEN2418And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
611GEN2419And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.
612GEN2420And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.
613GEN2421And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.
614GEN2422And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold;
615GEN2423And said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father’s house for us to lodge in?
616GEN2424And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.
617GEN2425She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in.
618GEN2426And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD.
619GEN2427And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master’s brethren.
620GEN2428And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother’s house these things.
621GEN2429¶ And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well.
622GEN2430And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his sister’s hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well.
623GEN2431And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.
624GEN2432¶ And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men’s feet that were with him.
625GEN2433And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.
626GEN2434And he said, I am Abraham’s servant.
627GEN2435And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.
628GEN2436And Sarah my master’s wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.
629GEN2437And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
630GEN2438But thou shalt go unto my father’s house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.
631GEN2439And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.
632GEN2440And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father’s house:
633GEN2441Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath.
634GEN2442And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:
635GEN2443Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;
636GEN2444And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD hath appointed out for my master’s son.
637GEN2445And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the well, and drew water: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.
638GEN2446And 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.
639GEN2447And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.
640GEN2448And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master’s brother’s daughter unto his son.
641GEN2449And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.
642GEN2450Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.
643GEN2451Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master’s son’s wife, as the LORD hath spoken.
644GEN2452And it came to pass, that, when Abraham’s servant heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth.
645GEN2453And 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.
646GEN2454And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master.
647GEN2455And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.
648GEN2456And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.
649GEN2457And they said, We will call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth.
650GEN2458And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.
651GEN2459And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant, and his men.
652GEN2460And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.
653GEN2461¶ And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
654GEN2462And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahai-roi; for he dwelt in the south country.
655GEN2463And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming.
656GEN2464And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.
657GEN2465For she had said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a vail, and covered herself.
658GEN2466And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.
659GEN2467And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.
660GEN251Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.
661GEN252And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
662GEN253And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
663GEN254And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
664GEN255¶ And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
665GEN256But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.
666GEN257And these are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.
667GEN258Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.
668GEN259And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;
669GEN2510The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
670GEN2511¶ And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahai-roi.
671GEN2512¶ Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, bare unto Abraham:
672GEN2513And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
673GEN2514And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
674GEN2515Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
675GEN2516These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.
676GEN2517And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered unto his people.
677GEN2518And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brethren.
678GEN2519¶ And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham begat Isaac:
679GEN2520And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-aram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.
680GEN2521And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
681GEN2522And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD.
682GEN2523And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
683GEN2524¶ And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
684GEN2525And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
685GEN2526And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.
686GEN2527And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
687GEN2528And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
688GEN2529¶ And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:
689GEN2530And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.
690GEN2531And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
691GEN2532And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?
692GEN2533And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
693GEN2534Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.
694GEN261And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.
695GEN262And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:
696GEN263Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;
697GEN264And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
698GEN265Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
699GEN266¶ And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
700GEN267And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon.
701GEN268And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.
702GEN269And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife: and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.
703GEN2610And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us.
704GEN2611And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
705GEN2612Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.
706GEN2613And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:
707GEN2614For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
708GEN2615For all the wells which his father’s servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth.
709GEN2616And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.
710GEN2617¶ And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
711GEN2618And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
712GEN2619And Isaac’s servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
713GEN2620And 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.
714GEN2621And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.
715GEN2622And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
716GEN2623And he went up from thence to Beer-sheba.
717GEN2624And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham’s sake.
718GEN2625And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac’s servants digged a well.
719GEN2626¶ Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army.
720GEN2627And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?
721GEN2628And they said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with thee: and we said, Let there be now an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee;
722GEN2629That thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace: thou art now the blessed of the LORD.
723GEN2630And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.
724GEN2631And they rose up betimes in the morning, and sware one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
725GEN2632And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac’s servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said unto him, We have found water.
726GEN2633And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba unto this day.
727GEN2634¶ And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:
728GEN2635Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
729GEN271And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, here am I.
730GEN272And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:
731GEN273Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;
732GEN274And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die.
733GEN275And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
734GEN276¶ And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,
735GEN277Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the LORD before my death.
736GEN278Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee.
737GEN279Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth:
738GEN2710And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death.
739GEN2711And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:
740GEN2712My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.
741GEN2713And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.
742GEN2714And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.
743GEN2715And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son:
744GEN2716And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:
745GEN2717And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
746GEN2718¶ And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son?
747GEN2719And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy firstborn; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.
748GEN2720And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought it to me.
749GEN2721And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not.
750GEN2722And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.
751GEN2723And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau’s hands: so he blessed him.
752GEN2724And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am.
753GEN2725And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine, and he drank.
754GEN2726And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.
755GEN2727And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed:
756GEN2728Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
757GEN2729Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother’s sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.
758GEN2730¶ And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
759GEN2731And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it unto his father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that thy soul may bless me.
760GEN2732And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn Esau.
761GEN2733And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where is he that hath taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea, and he shall be blessed.
762GEN2734And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father.
763GEN2735And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken away thy blessing.
764GEN2736And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?
765GEN2737And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto thee, my son?
766GEN2738And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
767GEN2739And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above;
768GEN2740And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.
769GEN2741¶ And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.
770GEN2742And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself, purposing to kill thee.
771GEN2743Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; and arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran;
772GEN2744And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother’s fury turn away;
773GEN2745Until thy brother’s anger turn away from thee, and he forget that which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch thee from thence: why should I be deprived also of you both in one day?
774GEN2746And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?
775GEN281And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
776GEN282Arise, go to Padan-aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother’s father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother’s brother.
777GEN283And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;
778GEN284And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.
779GEN285And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padan-aram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother.
780GEN286¶ When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padan-aram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;
781GEN287And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padan-aram;
782GEN288And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father;
783GEN289Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife.
784GEN2810¶ And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went toward Haran.
785GEN2811And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.
786GEN2812And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
787GEN2813And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;
788GEN2814And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
789GEN2815And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.
790GEN2816¶ And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.
791GEN2817And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
792GEN2818And 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.
793GEN2819And he called the name of that place Beth-el: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.
794GEN2820And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
795GEN2821So that I come again to my father’s house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God:
796GEN2822And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God’s house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
797GEN291Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.
798GEN292And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone was upon the well’s mouth.
799GEN293And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well’s mouth in his place.
800GEN294And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they said, Of Haran are we.
801GEN295And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
802GEN296And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.
803GEN297And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go and feed them.
804GEN298And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the well’s mouth; then we water the sheep.
805GEN299¶ And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep: for she kept them.
806GEN2910And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother’s brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother.
807GEN2911And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
808GEN2912And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s brother, and that he was Rebekah’s son: and she ran and told her father.
809GEN2913And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister’s son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
810GEN2914And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.
811GEN2915¶ And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be?
812GEN2916And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
813GEN2917Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured.
814GEN2918And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
815GEN2919And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
816GEN2920And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.
817GEN2921¶ And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
818GEN2922And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
819GEN2923And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.
820GEN2924And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid.
821GEN2925And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?
822GEN2926And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
823GEN2927Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
824GEN2928And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.
825GEN2929And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.
826GEN2930And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
827GEN2931¶ And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.
828GEN2932And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.
829GEN2933And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard that I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon.
830GEN2934And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.
831GEN2935And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing.
832GEN301And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.
833GEN302And Jacob’s anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in God’s stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?
834GEN303And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her.
835GEN304And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her.
836GEN305And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.
837GEN306And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan.
838GEN307And Bilhah Rachel’s maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son.
839GEN308And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.
840GEN309When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.
841GEN3010And Zilpah Leah’s maid bare Jacob a son.
842GEN3011And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad.
843GEN3012And Zilpah Leah’s maid bare Jacob a second son.
844GEN3013And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher.
845GEN3014¶ 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.
846GEN3015And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son’s mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to night for thy son’s mandrakes.
847GEN3016And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto me; for surely I have hired thee with my son’s mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.
848GEN3017And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son.
849GEN3018And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.
850GEN3019And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son.
851GEN3020And Leah said, God hath endued me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun.
852GEN3021And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
853GEN3022¶ And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.
854GEN3023And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach:
855GEN3024And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me another son.
856GEN3025¶ And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country.
857GEN3026Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have done thee.
858GEN3027And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake.
859GEN3028And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it.
860GEN3029And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle was with me.
861GEN3030For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?
862GEN3031And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me any thing: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep thy flock:
863GEN3032I 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.
864GEN3033So 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.
865GEN3034And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word.
866GEN3035And he removed that day the he goats that were ringstraked and spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted, and every one that had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
867GEN3036And he set three days’ journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks.
868GEN3037¶ And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.
869GEN3038And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.
870GEN3039And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
871GEN3040And 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.
872GEN3041And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
873GEN3042But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s.
874GEN3043And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.
875GEN311And he heard the words of Laban’s sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father’s; and of that which was our father’s hath he gotten all this glory.
876GEN312And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.
877GEN313And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.
878GEN314And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock,
879GEN315And said unto them, I see your father’s countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been with me.
880GEN316And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.
881GEN317And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.
882GEN318If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the cattle bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstraked shall be thy hire; then bare all the cattle ringstraked.
883GEN319Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
884GEN3110And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the cattle were ringstraked, speckled, and grisled.
885GEN3111And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I.
886GEN3112And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ringstraked, speckled, and grisled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.
887GEN3113I am the God of Beth-el, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.
888GEN3114And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father’s house?
889GEN3115Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our money.
890GEN3116For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is ours, and our children’s: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do.
891GEN3117¶ Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels;
892GEN3118And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in Padan-aram, for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.
893GEN3119And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father’s.
894GEN3120And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled.
895GEN3121So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead.
896GEN3122And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled.
897GEN3123And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days’ journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead.
898GEN3124And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
899GEN3125¶ Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead.
900GEN3126And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives taken with the sword?
901GEN3127Wherefore 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?
902GEN3128And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? thou hast now done foolishly in so doing.
903GEN3129It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
904GEN3130And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father’s house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?
905GEN3131And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy daughters from me.
906GEN3132With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live: before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them.
907GEN3133And Laban went into Jacob’s tent, and into Leah’s tent, and into the two maidservants’ tents; but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah’s tent, and entered into Rachel’s tent.
908GEN3134Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel’s furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them not.
909GEN3135And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women is upon me. And he searched, but found not the images.
910GEN3136¶ And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me?
911GEN3137Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us both.
912GEN3138This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten.
913GEN3139That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day, or stolen by night.
914GEN3140Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes.
915GEN3141Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times.
916GEN3142Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight.
917GEN3143¶ And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children which they have born?
918GEN3144Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee.
919GEN3145And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.
920GEN3146And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap.
921GEN3147And Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed.
922GEN3148And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed;
923GEN3149And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.
924GEN3150If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness betwixt me and thee.
925GEN3151And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee;
926GEN3152This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm.
927GEN3153The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the fear of his father Isaac.
928GEN3154Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mount.
929GEN3155And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned unto his place.
930GEN321And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
931GEN322And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God’s host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
932GEN323And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
933GEN324And 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:
934GEN325And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight.
935GEN326¶ And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
936GEN327Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands;
937GEN328And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape.
938GEN329¶ And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:
939GEN3210I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
940GEN3211Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children.
941GEN3212And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
942GEN3213¶ And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;
943GEN3214Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
944GEN3215Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.
945GEN3216And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove.
946GEN3217And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither goest thou? and whose are these before thee?
947GEN3218Then thou shalt say, They be thy servant Jacob’s; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us.
948GEN3219And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him.
949GEN3220And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me.
950GEN3221So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company.
951GEN3222And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.
952GEN3223And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.
953GEN3224¶ And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
954GEN3225And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
955GEN3226And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
956GEN3227And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
957GEN3228And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
958GEN3229And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
959GEN3230And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
960GEN3231And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
961GEN3232Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew that shrank.
962GEN331And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids.
963GEN332And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
964GEN333And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
965GEN334And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.
966GEN335And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant.
967GEN336Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
968GEN337And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
969GEN338And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord.
970GEN339And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself.
971GEN3310And 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.
972GEN3311Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it.
973GEN3312And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.
974GEN3313And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.
975GEN3314Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir.
976GEN3315And 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.
977GEN3316¶ So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.
978GEN3317And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
979GEN3318¶ And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padan-aram; and pitched his tent before the city.
980GEN3319And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for an hundred pieces of money.
981GEN3320And he erected there an altar, and called it El-elohe-Israel.
982GEN341And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
983GEN342And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her.
984GEN343And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.
985GEN344And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife.
986GEN345And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they were come.
987GEN346¶ And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him.
988GEN347And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard it: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter; which thing ought not to be done.
989GEN348And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to wife.
990GEN349And make ye marriages with us, and give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you.
991GEN3410And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.
992GEN3411And 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.
993GEN3412Ask 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.
994GEN3413And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister:
995GEN3414And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us:
996GEN3415But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we be, that every male of you be circumcised;
997GEN3416Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
998GEN3417But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.
999GEN3418And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor’s son.
1000GEN3419And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter: and he was more honourable than all the house of his father.
1001GEN3420¶ And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,
1002GEN3421These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade therein; for the land, behold, it is large enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.
1003GEN3422Only herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell with us, to be one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.
1004GEN3423Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast of theirs be ours? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell with us.
1005GEN3424And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city; and every male was circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city.
1006GEN3425¶ And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males.
1007GEN3426And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went out.
1008GEN3427The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister.
1009GEN3428They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field,
1010GEN3429And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that was in the house.
1011GEN3430And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I being few in number, they shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.
1012GEN3431And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot?
1013GEN351And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Beth-el, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.
1014GEN352Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments:
1015GEN353And let us arise, and go up to Beth-el; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.
1016GEN354And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.
1017GEN355And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.
1018GEN356¶ So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Beth-el, he and all the people that were with him.
1019GEN357And he built there an altar, and called the place El-beth-el: because there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother.
1020GEN358But Deborah Rebekah’s nurse died, and she was buried beneath Beth-el under an oak: and the name of it was called Allon-bachuth.
1021GEN359¶ And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padan-aram, and blessed him.
1022GEN3510And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.
1023GEN3511And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;
1024GEN3512And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.
1025GEN3513And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him.
1026GEN3514And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, even a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon.
1027GEN3515And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Beth-el.
1028GEN3516¶ And they journeyed from Beth-el; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour.
1029GEN3517And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also.
1030GEN3518And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Ben-oni: but his father called him Benjamin.
1031GEN3519And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Beth-lehem.
1032GEN3520And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel’s grave unto this day.
1033GEN3521¶ And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar.
1034GEN3522And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine: and Israel heard it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:
1035GEN3523The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:
1036GEN3524The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:
1037GEN3525And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali:
1038GEN3526And the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s handmaid; Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padan-aram.
1039GEN3527¶ And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the city of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.
1040GEN3528And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years.
1041GEN3529And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
1042GEN361Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom.
1043GEN362Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite;
1044GEN363And Bashemath Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebajoth.
1045GEN364And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Bashemath bare Reuel;
1046GEN365And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these are the sons of Esau, which were born unto him in the land of Canaan.
1047GEN366And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the persons of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his substance, which he had got in the land of Canaan; and went into the country from the face of his brother Jacob.
1048GEN367For their riches were more than that they might dwell together; and the land wherein they were strangers could not bear them because of their cattle.
1049GEN368Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom.
1050GEN369¶ And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir:
1051GEN3610These are the names of Esau’s sons; Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife of Esau, Reuel the son of Bashemath the wife of Esau.
1052GEN3611And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz.
1053GEN3612And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau’s son; and she bare to Eliphaz Amalek: these were the sons of Adah Esau’s wife.
1054GEN3613And these are the sons of Reuel; Nahath, and Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah: these were the sons of Bashemath Esau’s wife.
1055GEN3614¶ And these were the sons of Aholibamah, the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon, Esau’s wife: and she bare to Esau Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah.
1056GEN3615¶ These were dukes of the sons of Esau: the sons of Eliphaz the firstborn son of Esau; duke Teman, duke Omar, duke Zepho, duke Kenaz,
1057GEN3616Duke Korah, duke Gatam, and duke Amalek: these are the dukes that came of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these were the sons of Adah.
1058GEN3617¶ And these are the sons of Reuel Esau’s son; duke Nahath, duke Zerah, duke Shammah, duke Mizzah: these are the dukes that came of Reuel in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Bashemath Esau’s wife.
1059GEN3618¶ And these are the sons of Aholibamah Esau’s wife; duke Jeush, duke Jaalam, duke Korah: these were the dukes that came of Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau’s wife.
1060GEN3619These are the sons of Esau, who is Edom, and these are their dukes.
1061GEN3620¶ These are the sons of Seir the Horite, who inhabited the land; Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah,
1062GEN3621And Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan: these are the dukes of the Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom.
1063GEN3622And the children of Lotan were Hori and Hemam; and Lotan’s sister was Timna.
1064GEN3623And the children of Shobal were these; Alvan, and Manahath, and Ebal, Shepho, and Onam.
1065GEN3624And these are the children of Zibeon; both Ajah, and Anah: this was that Anah that found the mules in the wilderness, as he fed the asses of Zibeon his father.
1066GEN3625And the children of Anah were these; Dishon, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah.
1067GEN3626And these are the children of Dishon; Hemdan, and Eshban, and Ithran, and Cheran.
1068GEN3627The children of Ezer are these; Bilhan, and Zaavan, and Akan.
1069GEN3628The children of Dishan are these; Uz, and Aran.
1070GEN3629These are the dukes that came of the Horites; duke Lotan, duke Shobal, duke Zibeon, duke Anah,
1071GEN3630Duke Dishon, duke Ezer, duke Dishan: these are the dukes that came of Hori, among their dukes in the land of Seir.
1072GEN3631¶ And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of Israel.
1073GEN3632And Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom: and the name of his city was Dinhabah.
1074GEN3633And Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his stead.
1075GEN3634And Jobab died, and Husham of the land of Temani reigned in his stead.
1076GEN3635And Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who smote Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Avith.
1077GEN3636And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead.
1078GEN3637And Samlah died, and Saul of Rehoboth by the river reigned in his stead.
1079GEN3638And Saul died, and Baal-hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his stead.
1080GEN3639And Baal-hanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Pau; and his wife’s name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab.
1081GEN3640And these are the names of the dukes that came of Esau, according to their families, after their places, by their names; duke Timnah, duke Alvah, duke Jetheth,
1082GEN3641Duke Aholibamah, duke Elah, duke Pinon,
1083GEN3642Duke Kenaz, duke Teman, duke Mibzar,
1084GEN3643Duke Magdiel, duke Iram: these be the dukes of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their possession: he is Esau the father of the Edomites.
1085GEN371And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.
1086GEN372These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.
1087GEN373Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours.
1088GEN374And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
1089GEN375¶ And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
1090GEN376And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
1091GEN377For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
1092GEN378And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
1093GEN379¶ And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
1094GEN3710And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
1095GEN3711And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
1096GEN3712¶ And his brethren went to feed their father’s flock in Shechem.
1097GEN3713And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I.
1098GEN3714And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
1099GEN3715¶ And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
1100GEN3716And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks.
1101GEN3717And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.
1102GEN3718And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.
1103GEN3719And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.
1104GEN3720Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.
1105GEN3721And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him.
1106GEN3722And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again.
1107GEN3723¶ And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him;
1108GEN3724And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.
1109GEN3725And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
1110GEN3726And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
1111GEN3727Come, 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.
1112GEN3728Then 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.
1113GEN3729¶ And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.
1114GEN3730And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go?
1115GEN3731And they took Joseph’s coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;
1116GEN3732And they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be thy son’s coat or no.
1117GEN3733And he knew it, and said, It is my son’s coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.
1118GEN3734And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
1119GEN3735And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him.
1120GEN3736And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, and captain of the guard.
1121GEN381And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
1122GEN382And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her.
1123GEN383And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er.
1124GEN384And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan.
1125GEN385And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.
1126GEN386And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar.
1127GEN387And Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him.
1128GEN388And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother’s wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
1129GEN389And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother’s wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.
1130GEN3810And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also.
1131GEN3811Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow at thy father’s house, till Shelah my son be grown: for he said, Lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren did. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father’s house.
1132GEN3812¶ And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah’s wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
1133GEN3813And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep.
1134GEN3814And she put her widow’s garments off from her, and covered her with a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife.
1135GEN3815When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face.
1136GEN3816And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me?
1137GEN3817And he said, I will send thee a kid from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it?
1138GEN3818And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave it her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.
1139GEN3819And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
1140GEN3820And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman’s hand: but he found her not.
1141GEN3821Then 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.
1142GEN3822And 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.
1143GEN3823And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.
1144GEN3824¶ And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.
1145GEN3825When she was brought forth, she sent to her father in law, saying, By the man, whose these are, am I with child: and she said, Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff.
1146GEN3826And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.
1147GEN3827¶ And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb.
1148GEN3828And 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.
1149GEN3829And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken forth? this breach be upon thee: therefore his name was called Pharez.
1150GEN3830And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah.
1151GEN391And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.
1152GEN392And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
1153GEN393And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
1154GEN394And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
1155GEN395And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.
1156GEN396And he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured.
1157GEN397¶ And it came to pass after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
1158GEN398But he refused, and said unto his master’s wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;
1159GEN399There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
1160GEN3910And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
1161GEN3911And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within.
1162GEN3912And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.
1163GEN3913And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,
1164GEN3914That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:
1165GEN3915And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out.
1166GEN3916And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.
1167GEN3917And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me:
1168GEN3918And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.
1169GEN3919And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.
1170GEN3920And Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king’s prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.
1171GEN3921¶ But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
1172GEN3922And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.
1173GEN3923The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand; because the LORD was with him, and that which he did, the LORD made it to prosper.
1174GEN401And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt.
1175GEN402And Pharaoh was wroth against two of his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.
1176GEN403And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.
1177GEN404And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward.
1178GEN405¶ And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, which were bound in the prison.
1179GEN406And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they were sad.
1180GEN407And he asked Pharaoh’s officers that were with him in the ward of his lord’s house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly to day?
1181GEN408And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you.
1182GEN409And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;
1183GEN4010And in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, and her blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes:
1184GEN4011And Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.
1185GEN4012And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days:
1186GEN4013Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh’s cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.
1187GEN4014But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:
1188GEN4015For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.
1189GEN4016When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three white baskets on my head:
1190GEN4017And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.
1191GEN4018And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days:
1192GEN4019Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.
1193GEN4020¶ And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.
1194GEN4021And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand:
1195GEN4022But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.
1196GEN4023Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.
1197GEN411And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.
1198GEN412And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.
1199GEN413And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill favoured and leanfleshed; and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river.
1200GEN414And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.
1201GEN415And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.
1202GEN416And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them.
1203GEN417And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.
1204GEN418And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.
1205GEN419¶ Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:
1206GEN4110Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the captain of the guard’s house, both me and the chief baker:
1207GEN4111And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
1208GEN4112And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.
1209GEN4113And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.
1210GEN4114¶ Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.
1211GEN4115And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it.
1212GEN4116And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
1213GEN4117And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:
1214GEN4118And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:
1215GEN4119And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:
1216GEN4120And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:
1217GEN4121And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
1218GEN4122And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good:
1219GEN4123And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:
1220GEN4124And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.
1221GEN4125¶ And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.
1222GEN4126The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
1223GEN4127And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.
1224GEN4128This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.
1225GEN4129Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:
1226GEN4130And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;
1227GEN4131And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.
1228GEN4132And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
1229GEN4133Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
1230GEN4134Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.
1231GEN4135And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
1232GEN4136And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.
1233GEN4137¶ And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
1234GEN4138And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
1235GEN4139And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:
1236GEN4140Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.
1237GEN4141And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
1238GEN4142And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;
1239GEN4143And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.
1240GEN4144And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.
1241GEN4145And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphnath-paaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.
1242GEN4146¶ And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
1243GEN4147And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.
1244GEN4148And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.
1245GEN4149And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number.
1246GEN4150And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah priest of On bare unto him.
1247GEN4151And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father’s house.
1248GEN4152And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.
1249GEN4153¶ And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.
1250GEN4154And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
1251GEN4155And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do.
1252GEN4156And the famine was over all the face of the earth: and Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.
1253GEN4157And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands.
1254GEN421Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?
1255GEN422And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die.
1256GEN423¶ And Joseph’s ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.
1257GEN424But Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him.
1258GEN425And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
1259GEN426And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph’s brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth.
1260GEN427And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.
1261GEN428And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
1262GEN429And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
1263GEN4210And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come.
1264GEN4211We are all one man’s sons; we are true men, thy servants are no spies.
1265GEN4212And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
1266GEN4213And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.
1267GEN4214And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, saying, Ye are spies:
1268GEN4215Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.
1269GEN4216Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether there be any truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies.
1270GEN4217And he put them all together into ward three days.
1271GEN4218And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God:
1272GEN4219If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your prison: go ye, carry corn for the famine of your houses:
1273GEN4220But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.
1274GEN4221¶ And they said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us.
1275GEN4222And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore, behold, also his blood is required.
1276GEN4223And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake unto them by an interpreter.
1277GEN4224And 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.
1278GEN4225¶ Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and to restore every man’s money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way: and thus did he unto them.
1279GEN4226And they laded their asses with the corn, and departed thence.
1280GEN4227And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the inn, he espied his money; for, behold, it was in his sack’s mouth.
1281GEN4228And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored; and, lo, it is even in my sack: and their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God hath done unto us?
1282GEN4229¶ And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them; saying,
1283GEN4230The man, who is the lord of the land, spake roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country.
1284GEN4231And we said unto him, We are true men; we are no spies:
1285GEN4232We be twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
1286GEN4233And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us, Hereby shall I know that ye are true men; leave one of your brethren here with me, and take food for the famine of your households, and be gone:
1287GEN4234And bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye are true men: so will I deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffick in the land.
1288GEN4235¶ And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man’s bundle of money was in his sack: and when both they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid.
1289GEN4236And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away: all these things are against me.
1290GEN4237And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again.
1291GEN4238And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
1292GEN431And the famine was sore in the land.
1293GEN432And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said unto them, Go again, buy us a little food.
1294GEN433And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.
1295GEN434If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food:
1296GEN435But if thou wilt not send him, we will not go down: for the man said unto us, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.
1297GEN436And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?
1298GEN437And they said, The man asked us straitly of our state, and of our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye another brother? and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could we certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down?
1299GEN438And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, and also our little ones.
1300GEN439I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever:
1301GEN4310For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this second time.
1302GEN4311And their father Israel said unto them, If it must be so now, do this; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds:
1303GEN4312And take double money in your hand; and the money that was brought again in the mouth of your sacks, carry it again in your hand; peradventure it was an oversight:
1304GEN4313Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man:
1305GEN4314And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.
1306GEN4315¶ And the men took that present, and they took double money in their hand, and Benjamin; and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.
1307GEN4316And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house, Bring these men home, and slay, and make ready; for these men shall dine with me at noon.
1308GEN4317And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men into Joseph’s house.
1309GEN4318And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph’s house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our asses.
1310GEN4319And they came near to the steward of Joseph’s house, and they communed with him at the door of the house,
1311GEN4320And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food:
1312GEN4321And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man’s money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand.
1313GEN4322And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.
1314GEN4323And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon out unto them.
1315GEN4324And the man brought the men into Joseph’s house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses provender.
1316GEN4325And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there.
1317GEN4326¶ And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.
1318GEN4327And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake? Is he yet alive?
1319GEN4328And they answered, Thy servant our father is in good health, he is yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance.
1320GEN4329And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother’s son, and said, Is this your younger brother, of whom ye spake unto me? And he said, God be gracious unto thee, my son.
1321GEN4330And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother: and he sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there.
1322GEN4331And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread.
1323GEN4332And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
1324GEN4333And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth: and the men marvelled one at another.
1325GEN4334And he took and sent messes unto them from before him: but Benjamin’s mess was five times so much as any of theirs. And they drank, and were merry with him.
1326GEN441And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man’s money in his sack’s mouth.
1327GEN442And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
1328GEN443As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.
1329GEN444And when they were gone out of the city, and not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?
1330GEN445Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
1331GEN446¶ And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.
1332GEN447And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:
1333GEN448Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths, we brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy lord’s house silver or gold?
1334GEN449With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord’s bondmen.
1335GEN4410And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless.
1336GEN4411Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
1337GEN4412And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.
1338GEN4413Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.
1339GEN4414¶ And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph’s house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.
1340GEN4415And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?
1341GEN4416And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord’s servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found.
1342GEN4417And he said, God forbid that I should do so: but the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, get you up in peace unto your father.
1343GEN4418¶ Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord’s ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh.
1344GEN4419My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
1345GEN4420And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him.
1346GEN4421And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.
1347GEN4422And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.
1348GEN4423And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
1349GEN4424And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
1350GEN4425And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.
1351GEN4426And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man’s face, except our youngest brother be with us.
1352GEN4427And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:
1353GEN4428And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:
1354GEN4429And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
1355GEN4430Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad’s life;
1356GEN4431It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
1357GEN4432For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever.
1358GEN4433Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.
1359GEN4434For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father.
1360GEN451Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren.
1361GEN452And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.
1362GEN453And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.
1363GEN454And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
1364GEN455Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.
1365GEN456For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest.
1366GEN457And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
1367GEN458So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
1368GEN459Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not:
1369GEN4510And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children’s children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast:
1370GEN4511And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty.
1371GEN4512And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you.
1372GEN4513And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither.
1373GEN4514And he fell upon his brother Benjamin’s neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck.
1374GEN4515Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him.
1375GEN4516¶ And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh’s house, saying, Joseph’s brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
1376GEN4517And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;
1377GEN4518And 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.
1378GEN4519Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take you wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.
1379GEN4520Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.
1380GEN4521And the children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
1381GEN4522To 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.
1382GEN4523And 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.
1383GEN4524So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way.
1384GEN4525¶ And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father,
1385GEN4526And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob’s heart fainted, for he believed them not.
1386GEN4527And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived:
1387GEN4528And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.
1388GEN461And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.
1389GEN462And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.
1390GEN463And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation:
1391GEN464I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes.
1392GEN465And Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba: and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
1393GEN466And 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:
1394GEN467His sons, and his sons’ sons with him, his daughters, and his sons’ daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.
1395GEN468¶ And these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn.
1396GEN469And the sons of Reuben; Hanoch, and Phallu, and Hezron, and Carmi.
1397GEN4610¶ And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman.
1398GEN4611¶ And the sons of Levi; Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
1399GEN4612¶ And the sons of Judah; Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Pharez, and Zerah: but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of Pharez were Hezron and Hamul.
1400GEN4613¶ And the sons of Issachar; Tola, and Phuvah, and Job, and Shimron.
1401GEN4614¶ And the sons of Zebulun; Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel.
1402GEN4615These be the sons of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob in Padan-aram, with his daughter Dinah: all the souls of his sons and his daughters were thirty and three.
1403GEN4616¶ And the sons of Gad; Ziphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and Ezbon, Eri, and Arodi, and Areli.
1404GEN4617¶ And the sons of Asher; Jimnah, and Ishuah, and Isui, and Beriah, and Serah their sister: and the sons of Beriah; Heber, and Malchiel.
1405GEN4618These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter, and these she bare unto Jacob, even sixteen souls.
1406GEN4619The sons of Rachel Jacob’s wife; Joseph, and Benjamin.
1407GEN4620¶ And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, which Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah priest of On bare unto him.
1408GEN4621¶ And the sons of Benjamin were Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard.
1409GEN4622These are the sons of Rachel, which were born to Jacob: all the souls were fourteen.
1410GEN4623¶ And the sons of Dan; Hushim.
1411GEN4624¶ And the sons of Naphtali; Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shillem.
1412GEN4625These are the sons of Bilhah, which Laban gave unto Rachel his daughter, and she bare these unto Jacob: all the souls were seven.
1413GEN4626All 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;
1414GEN4627And 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.
1415GEN4628¶ And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.
1416GEN4629And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself unto him; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.
1417GEN4630And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou art yet alive.
1418GEN4631And 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;
1419GEN4632And the men are shepherds, for their trade hath been to feed cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.
1420GEN4633And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What is your occupation?
1421GEN4634That ye shall say, Thy servants’ trade hath been about cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and also our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
1422GEN471Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen.
1423GEN472And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh.
1424GEN473And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and also our fathers.
1425GEN474They 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.
1426GEN475And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee:
1427GEN476The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest any men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.
1428GEN477And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
1429GEN478And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou?
1430GEN479And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
1431GEN4710And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.
1432GEN4711¶ And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
1433GEN4712And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father’s household, with bread, according to their families.
1434GEN4713¶ And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very sore, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.
1435GEN4714And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house.
1436GEN4715And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth.
1437GEN4716And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail.
1438GEN4717And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year.
1439GEN4718When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto him, We will not hide it from my lord, how that our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is not ought left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands:
1440GEN4719Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, that the land be not desolate.
1441GEN4720And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh’s.
1442GEN4721And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof.
1443GEN4722Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion assigned them of Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them: wherefore they sold not their lands.
1444GEN4723Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land.
1445GEN4724And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.
1446GEN4725And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.
1447GEN4726And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth part; except the land of the priests only, which became not Pharaoh’s.
1448GEN4727¶ And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly.
1449GEN4728And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.
1450GEN4729And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt:
1451GEN4730But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I will do as thou hast said.
1452GEN4731And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed’s head.
1453GEN481And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold, thy father is sick: and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.
1454GEN482And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.
1455GEN483And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
1456GEN484And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession.
1457GEN485¶ And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.
1458GEN486And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.
1459GEN487And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when yet there was but a little way to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is Beth-lehem.
1460GEN488And Israel beheld Joseph’s sons, and said, Who are these?
1461GEN489And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom God hath given me in this place. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless them.
1462GEN4810Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he could not see. And he brought them near unto him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.
1463GEN4811And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed.
1464GEN4812And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.
1465GEN4813And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel’s right hand, and brought them near unto him.
1466GEN4814And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh’s head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn.
1467GEN4815¶ And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day,
1468GEN4816The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.
1469GEN4817And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father’s hand, to remove it from Ephraim’s head unto Manasseh’s head.
1470GEN4818And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.
1471GEN4819And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.
1472GEN4820And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.
1473GEN4821And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.
1474GEN4822Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.
1475GEN491And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.
1476GEN492Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.
1477GEN493¶ Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:
1478GEN494Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch.
1479GEN495¶ Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations.
1480GEN496O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall.
1481GEN497Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
1482GEN498¶ Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father’s children shall bow down before thee.
1483GEN499Judah is a lion’s whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
1484GEN4910The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
1485GEN4911Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass’s colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes:
1486GEN4912His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.
1487GEN4913¶ Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be for an haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon.
1488GEN4914¶ Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens:
1489GEN4915And he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute.
1490GEN4916¶ Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
1491GEN4917Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.
1492GEN4918I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.
1493GEN4919¶ Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last.
1494GEN4920¶ Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.
1495GEN4921¶ Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.
1496GEN4922¶ Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:
1497GEN4923The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:
1498GEN4924But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)
1499GEN4925Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:
1500GEN4926The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
1501GEN4927¶ Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.
1502GEN4928¶ All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: and this is it that their father spake unto them, and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them.
1503GEN4929And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be gathered unto my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
1504GEN4930In the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a buryingplace.
1505GEN4931There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.
1506GEN4932The purchase of the field and of the cave that is therein was from the children of Heth.
1507GEN4933And 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.
1508GEN501And Joseph fell upon his father’s face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.
1509GEN502And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.
1510GEN503And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him threescore and ten days.
1511GEN504And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
1512GEN505My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again.
1513GEN506And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.
1514GEN507¶ And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,
1515GEN508And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father’s house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.
1516GEN509And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company.
1517GEN5010And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
1518GEN5011And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abel-mizraim, which is beyond Jordan.
1519GEN5012And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:
1520GEN5013For his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a buryingplace of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.
1521GEN5014¶ And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.
1522GEN5015¶ And when Joseph’s brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him.
1523GEN5016And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying,
1524GEN5017So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.
1525GEN5018And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.
1526GEN5019And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?
1527GEN5020But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
1528GEN5021Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.
1529GEN5022¶ And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father’s house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.
1530GEN5023And Joseph saw Ephraim’s children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph’s knees.
1531GEN5024And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
1532GEN5025And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.
1533GEN5026So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
1534EXO11Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob.
1535EXO12Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
1536EXO13Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
1537EXO14Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
1538EXO15And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already.
1539EXO16And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
1540EXO17¶ And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.
1541EXO18Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.
1542EXO19And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:
1543EXO110Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.
1544EXO111Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.
1545EXO112But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.
1546EXO113And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour:
1547EXO114And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour.
1548EXO115¶ And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:
1549EXO116And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.
1550EXO117But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.
1551EXO118And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive?
1552EXO119And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them.
1553EXO120Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
1554EXO121And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.
1555EXO122And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.
1556EXO21And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.
1557EXO22And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
1558EXO23And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river’s brink.
1559EXO24And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.
1560EXO25¶ 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 the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.
1561EXO26And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews’ children.
1562EXO27Then said his sister to Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?
1563EXO28And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child’s mother.
1564EXO29And Pharaoh’s daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it.
1565EXO210And 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, Because I drew him out of the water.
1566EXO211¶ And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.
1567EXO212And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
1568EXO213And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?
1569EXO214And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.
1570EXO215Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well.
1571EXO216Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock.
1572EXO217And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
1573EXO218And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day?
1574EXO219And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.
1575EXO220And he said unto his daughters, And where is he? why is it that ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.
1576EXO221And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
1577EXO222And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
1578EXO223¶ And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
1579EXO224And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
1580EXO225And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.
1581EXO31Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
1582EXO32And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
1583EXO33And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
1584EXO34And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
1585EXO35And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
1586EXO36Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.
1587EXO37¶ And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
1588EXO38And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
1589EXO39Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.
1590EXO310Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
1591EXO311¶ And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
1592EXO312And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.
1593EXO313And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
1594EXO314And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
1595EXO315And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
1596EXO316Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt:
1597EXO317And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey.
1598EXO318And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.
1599EXO319¶ And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand.
1600EXO320And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let you go.
1601EXO321And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty:
1602EXO322But every woman shall borrow of her neighbour, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil the Egyptians.
1603EXO41And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared unto thee.
1604EXO42And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.
1605EXO43And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.
1606EXO44And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand:
1607EXO45That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.
1608EXO46¶ And the LORD said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow.
1609EXO47And he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh.
1610EXO48And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.
1611EXO49And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land.
1612EXO410¶ And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.
1613EXO411And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man’s mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?
1614EXO412Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.
1615EXO413And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send.
1616EXO414And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.
1617EXO415And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do.
1618EXO416And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God.
1619EXO417And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs.
1620EXO418¶ And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father in law, and said unto him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return unto my brethren which are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.
1621EXO419And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought thy life.
1622EXO420And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand.
1623EXO421And the LORD said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.
1624EXO422And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:
1625EXO423And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn.
1626EXO424¶ And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him.
1627EXO425Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me.
1628EXO426So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision.
1629EXO427¶ And the LORD said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the mount of God, and kissed him.
1630EXO428And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him.
1631EXO429¶ And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel:
1632EXO430And Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.
1633EXO431And the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.
1634EXO51And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.
1635EXO52And Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go.
1636EXO53And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days’ journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.
1637EXO54And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their works? get you unto your burdens.
1638EXO55And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.
1639EXO56And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,
1640EXO57Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.
1641EXO58And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish ought thereof: for they be idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
1642EXO59Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein; and let them not regard vain words.
1643EXO510¶ 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.
1644EXO511Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it: yet not ought of your work shall be diminished.
1645EXO512So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.
1646EXO513And the taskmasters hasted them, saying, Fulfil your works, your daily tasks, as when there was straw.
1647EXO514And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and to day, as heretofore?
1648EXO515¶ Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?
1649EXO516There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, thy servants are beaten; but the fault is in thine own people.
1650EXO517But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let us go and do sacrifice to the LORD.
1651EXO518Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks.
1652EXO519And the officers of the children of Israel did see that they were in evil case, after it was said, Ye shall not minish ought from your bricks of your daily task.
1653EXO520¶ And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh:
1654EXO521And they said unto them, The LORD look upon you, and judge; because ye have made our savour 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.
1655EXO522And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Lord, wherefore hast thou so evil entreated this people? why is it that thou hast sent me?
1656EXO523For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done evil to this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all.
1657EXO61Then the LORD 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 hand shall he drive them out of his land.
1658EXO62And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD:
1659EXO63And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
1660EXO64And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.
1661EXO65And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.
1662EXO66Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments:
1663EXO67And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
1664EXO68And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the LORD.
1665EXO69¶ And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.
1666EXO610And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
1667EXO611Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
1668EXO612And Moses spake before the LORD, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips?
1669EXO613And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
1670EXO614¶ These be the heads of their fathers’ houses: The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel; Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi: these be the families of Reuben.
1671EXO615And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman: these are the families of Simeon.
1672EXO616¶ And these are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari: and the years of the life of Levi were an hundred thirty and seven years.
1673EXO617The sons of Gershon; Libni, and Shimi, according to their families.
1674EXO618And the sons of Kohath; Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel: and the years of the life of Kohath were an hundred thirty and three years.
1675EXO619And the sons of Merari; Mahali and Mushi: these are the families of Levi according to their generations.
1676EXO620And Amram took him Jochebed his father’s sister to wife; and she bare him Aaron and Moses: and the years of the life of Amram were an hundred and thirty and seven years.
1677EXO621¶ And the sons of Izhar; Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri.
1678EXO622And the sons of Uzziel; Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Zithri.
1679EXO623And Aaron took him Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Naashon, to wife; and she bare him Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
1680EXO624And the sons of Korah; Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph: these are the families of the Korhites.
1681EXO625And Eleazar Aaron’s son took him one of the daughters of Putiel to wife; and she bare him Phinehas: these are the heads of the fathers of the Levites according to their families.
1682EXO626These are that Aaron and Moses, to whom the LORD said, Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies.
1683EXO627These are they which spake to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt: these are that Moses and Aaron.
1684EXO628¶ And it came to pass on the day when the LORD spake unto Moses in the land of Egypt,
1685EXO629That the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, I am the LORD: speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto thee.
1686EXO630And Moses said before the LORD, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?
1687EXO71And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
1688EXO72Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land.
1689EXO73And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
1690EXO74But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
1691EXO75And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
1692EXO76And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they.
1693EXO77And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.
1694EXO78¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
1695EXO79When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent.
1696EXO710¶ And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
1697EXO711Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
1698EXO712For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.
1699EXO713And he hardened Pharaoh’s heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
1700EXO714¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh’s heart is hardened, he refuseth to let the people go.
1701EXO715Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river’s brink against he come; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand.
1702EXO716And thou shalt say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear.
1703EXO717Thus saith the LORD, In this thou shalt know that I am the LORD: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in mine hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
1704EXO718And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the water of the river.
1705EXO719¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood; and that there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.
1706EXO720And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
1707EXO721And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.
1708EXO722And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them; as the LORD had said.
1709EXO723And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to this also.
1710EXO724And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
1711EXO725And seven days were fulfilled, after that the LORD had smitten the river.
1712EXO81And the LORD spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
1713EXO82And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:
1714EXO83And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs:
1715EXO84And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants.
1716EXO85¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.
1717EXO86And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
1718EXO87And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.
1719EXO88¶ Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat the LORD, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the LORD.
1720EXO89And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I intreat 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?
1721EXO810And he said, To morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word: that thou mayest know that there is none like unto the LORD our God.
1722EXO811And 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.
1723EXO812And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto the LORD because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh.
1724EXO813And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields.
1725EXO814And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land stank.
1726EXO815But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
1727EXO816¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, 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.
1728EXO817And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
1729EXO818And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast.
1730EXO819Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
1731EXO820¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
1732EXO821Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are.
1733EXO822And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth.
1734EXO823And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to morrow shall this sign be.
1735EXO824And the LORD did so; and there came a grievous swarm of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants’ houses, and into all the land of Egypt: the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies.
1736EXO825¶ And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land.
1737EXO826And Moses said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God: lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us?
1738EXO827We will go three days’ journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us.
1739EXO828And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away: intreat for me.
1740EXO829And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will intreat the LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, to morrow: but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD.
1741EXO830And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.
1742EXO831And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one.
1743EXO832And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go.
1744EXO91Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
1745EXO92For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still,
1746EXO93Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain.
1747EXO94And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that is the children’s of Israel.
1748EXO95And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land.
1749EXO96And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.
1750EXO97And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
1751EXO98¶ And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.
1752EXO99And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.
1753EXO910And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast.
1754EXO911And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.
1755EXO912And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto Moses.
1756EXO913¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
1757EXO914For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth.
1758EXO915For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.
1759EXO916And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
1760EXO917As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?
1761EXO918Behold, 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.
1762EXO919Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.
1763EXO920He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:
1764EXO921And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his servants and his cattle in the field.
1765EXO922¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.
1766EXO923And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
1767EXO924So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
1768EXO925And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field.
1769EXO926Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.
1770EXO927¶ And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I have sinned this time: the LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
1771EXO928Intreat the LORD (for it is enough) that there be no more mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer.
1772EXO929And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto the LORD; and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth is the LORD’s.
1773EXO930But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the LORD God.
1774EXO931And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled.
1775EXO932But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they were not grown up.
1776EXO933And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands unto the LORD: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth.
1777EXO934And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
1778EXO935And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses.
1779EXO101And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs before him:
1780EXO102And 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 signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I am the LORD.
1781EXO103And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.
1782EXO104Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast:
1783EXO105And they shall cover the 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 shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field:
1784EXO106And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh.
1785EXO107And Pharaoh’s servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?
1786EXO108And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them, Go, serve the LORD your God: but who are they that shall go?
1787EXO109And 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 we must hold a feast unto the LORD.
1788EXO1010And he said unto them, Let the LORD be so with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones: look to it; for evil is before you.
1789EXO1011Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve the LORD; for that ye did desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence.
1790EXO1012¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left.
1791EXO1013And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all that night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
1792EXO1014And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the coasts of Egypt: very grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.
1793EXO1015For they covered the face of the whole earth, 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.
1794EXO1016¶ Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you.
1795EXO1017Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and intreat the LORD your God, that he may take away from me this death only.
1796EXO1018And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.
1797EXO1019And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not one locust in all the coasts of Egypt.
1798EXO1020But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go.
1799EXO1021¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.
1800EXO1022And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:
1801EXO1023They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
1802EXO1024¶ And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the LORD; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you.
1803EXO1025And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God.
1804EXO1026Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve the LORD our God; and we know not with what we must serve the LORD, until we come thither.
1805EXO1027¶ But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let them go.
1806EXO1028And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in that day thou seest my face thou shalt die.
1807EXO1029And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face again no more.
1808EXO111And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether.
1809EXO112Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man borrow of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold.
1810EXO113And the LORD gave the people favour 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.
1811EXO114And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt:
1812EXO115And 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 maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.
1813EXO116And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more.
1814EXO117But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.
1815EXO118And 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 a great anger.
1816EXO119And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.
1817EXO1110And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go out of his land.
1818EXO121And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
1819EXO122This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
1820EXO123¶ Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:
1821EXO124And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
1822EXO125Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:
1823EXO126And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.
1824EXO127And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.
1825EXO128And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
1826EXO129Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.
1827EXO1210And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.
1828EXO1211¶ 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 LORD’s passover.
1829EXO1212For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, 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 judgment: I am the LORD.
1830EXO1213And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
1831EXO1214And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.
1832EXO1215Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
1833EXO1216And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.
1834EXO1217And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.
1835EXO1218¶ In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.
1836EXO1219Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.
1837EXO1220Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.
1838EXO1221¶ Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover.
1839EXO1222And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.
1840EXO1223For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.
1841EXO1224And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.
1842EXO1225And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service.
1843EXO1226And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?
1844EXO1227That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD’s passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.
1845EXO1228And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
1846EXO1229¶ And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
1847EXO1230And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
1848EXO1231¶ And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said.
1849EXO1232Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.
1850EXO1233And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men.
1851EXO1234And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
1852EXO1235And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:
1853EXO1236And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.
1854EXO1237¶ And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.
1855EXO1238And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.
1856EXO1239And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.
1857EXO1240¶ Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
1858EXO1241And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.
1859EXO1242It is a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.
1860EXO1243¶ And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:
1861EXO1244But every man’s servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.
1862EXO1245A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.
1863EXO1246In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.
1864EXO1247All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
1865EXO1248And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
1866EXO1249One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.
1867EXO1250Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
1868EXO1251And it came to pass the selfsame day, that the LORD did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
1869EXO131And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
1870EXO132Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine.
1871EXO133¶ And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.
1872EXO134This day came ye out in the month Abib.
1873EXO135¶ And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month.
1874EXO136Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD.
1875EXO137Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.
1876EXO138¶ And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the LORD did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.
1877EXO139And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the LORD’s law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt.
1878EXO1310Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year.
1879EXO1311¶ And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee,
1880EXO1312That thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males shall be the LORD’s.
1881EXO1313And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem.
1882EXO1314¶ And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:
1883EXO1315And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.
1884EXO1316And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt.
1885EXO1317¶ And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt:
1886EXO1318But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.
1887EXO1319And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.
1888EXO1320¶ And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
1889EXO1321And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:
1890EXO1322He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.
1891EXO141And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
1892EXO142Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baal-zephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea.
1893EXO143For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
1894EXO144And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, that he shall follow after them; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD. And they did so.
1895EXO145¶ And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
1896EXO146And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:
1897EXO147And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
1898EXO148And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand.
1899EXO149But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon.
1900EXO1410¶ And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD.
1901EXO1411And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?
1902EXO1412Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.
1903EXO1413¶ And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
1904EXO1414The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
1905EXO1415¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:
1906EXO1416But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
1907EXO1417And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
1908EXO1418And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
1909EXO1419¶ And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:
1910EXO1420And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.
1911EXO1421And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
1912EXO1422And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
1913EXO1423¶ And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
1914EXO1424And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,
1915EXO1425And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
1916EXO1426¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
1917EXO1427And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
1918EXO1428And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.
1919EXO1429But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
1920EXO1430Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.
1921EXO1431And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses.
1922EXO151Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
1923EXO152The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt him.
1924EXO153The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.
1925EXO154Pharaoh’s chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
1926EXO155The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.
1927EXO156Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
1928EXO157And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.
1929EXO158And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
1930EXO159The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
1931EXO1510Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
1932EXO1511Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
1933EXO1512Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
1934EXO1513Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.
1935EXO1514The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.
1936EXO1515Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.
1937EXO1516Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased.
1938EXO1517Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.
1939EXO1518The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.
1940EXO1519For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.
1941EXO1520¶ And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
1942EXO1521And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
1943EXO1522So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.
1944EXO1523¶ And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah.
1945EXO1524And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
1946EXO1525And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,
1947EXO1526And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.
1948EXO1527¶ And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.
1949EXO161And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.
1950EXO162And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
1951EXO163And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
1952EXO164¶ Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.
1953EXO165And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.
1954EXO166And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:
1955EXO167And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that he heareth your murmurings against the LORD: and what are we, that ye murmur against us?
1956EXO168And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.
1957EXO169¶ And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard your murmurings.
1958EXO1610And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.
1959EXO1611¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
1960EXO1612I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.
1961EXO1613And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.
1962EXO1614And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground.
1963EXO1615And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.
1964EXO1616¶ This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents.
1965EXO1617And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.
1966EXO1618And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.
1967EXO1619And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
1968EXO1620Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them.
1969EXO1621And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.
1970EXO1622¶ And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.
1971EXO1623And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
1972EXO1624And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.
1973EXO1625And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field.
1974EXO1626Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
1975EXO1627¶ And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.
1976EXO1628And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?
1977EXO1629See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
1978EXO1630So the people rested on the seventh day.
1979EXO1631And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.
1980EXO1632¶ And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.
1981EXO1633And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations.
1982EXO1634As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
1983EXO1635And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.
1984EXO1636Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
1985EXO171And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink.
1986EXO172Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD?
1987EXO173And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
1988EXO174And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me.
1989EXO175And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go.
1990EXO176Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
1991EXO177And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?
1992EXO178¶ Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
1993EXO179And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.
1994EXO1710So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
1995EXO1711And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
1996EXO1712But Moses’ hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
1997EXO1713And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
1998EXO1714And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
1999EXO1715And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi:
2000EXO1716For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
2001EXO181When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses’ father in law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, and that the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt;
2002EXO182Then Jethro, Moses’ father in law, took Zipporah, Moses’ wife, after he had sent her back,
2003EXO183And her two sons; of which the name of the one was Gershom; for he said, I have been an alien in a strange land:
2004EXO184And the name of the other was Eliezer; for the God of my father, said he, was mine help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh:
2005EXO185And Jethro, Moses’ father in law, came with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at the mount of God:
2006EXO186And he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.
2007EXO187¶ And Moses went out to meet his father in law, and did obeisance, and kissed him; and they asked each other of their welfare; and they came into the tent.
2008EXO188And Moses told his father in law all that the LORD had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, and all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and how the LORD delivered them.
2009EXO189And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the LORD had done to Israel, whom he had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians.
2010EXO1810And Jethro said, Blessed be the LORD, who hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who hath delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.
2011EXO1811Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them.
2012EXO1812And Jethro, Moses’ father in law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God: and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses’ father in law before God.
2013EXO1813¶ And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people: and the people stood by Moses from the morning unto the evening.
2014EXO1814And when Moses’ father in law saw all that he did to the people, he said, What is this thing that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning unto even?
2015EXO1815And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come unto me to enquire of God:
2016EXO1816When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one and another, and I do make them know the statutes of God, and his laws.
2017EXO1817And Moses’ father in law said unto him, The thing that thou doest is not good.
2018EXO1818Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee: for this thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone.
2019EXO1819Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people to God-ward, that thou mayest bring the causes unto God:
2020EXO1820And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.
2021EXO1821Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:
2022EXO1822And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the burden with thee.
2023EXO1823If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in peace.
2024EXO1824So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, and did all that he had said.
2025EXO1825And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.
2026EXO1826And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.
2027EXO1827¶ And Moses let his father in law depart; and he went his way into his own land.
2028EXO191In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.
2029EXO192For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount.
2030EXO193And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;
2031EXO194Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself.
2032EXO195Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
2033EXO196And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
2034EXO197¶ And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.
2035EXO198And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD.
2036EXO199And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD.
2037EXO1910¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,
2038EXO1911And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
2039EXO1912And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death:
2040EXO1913There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.
2041EXO1914¶ And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
2042EXO1915And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives.
2043EXO1916¶ And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled.
2044EXO1917And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.
2045EXO1918And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.
2046EXO1919And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.
2047EXO1920And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.
2048EXO1921And the LORD said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish.
2049EXO1922And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them.
2050EXO1923And Moses said unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.
2051EXO1924And the LORD said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth upon them.
2052EXO1925So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.
2053EXO201And God spake all these words, saying,
2054EXO202I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
2055EXO203Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
2056EXO204Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
2057EXO205Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
2058EXO206And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
2059EXO207Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
2060EXO208Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
2061EXO209Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
2062EXO2010But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
2063EXO2011For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
2064EXO2012¶ Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
2065EXO2013Thou shalt not kill.
2066EXO2014Thou shalt not commit adultery.
2067EXO2015Thou shalt not steal.
2068EXO2016Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
2069EXO2017Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.
2070EXO2018¶ And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.
2071EXO2019And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.
2072EXO2020And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.
2073EXO2021And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.
2074EXO2022¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
2075EXO2023Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.
2076EXO2024¶ An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.
2077EXO2025And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.
2078EXO2026Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.
2079EXO211Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
2080EXO212If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
2081EXO213If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him.
2082EXO214If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master’s, and he shall go out by himself.
2083EXO215And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:

2356EXO2919¶ And thou shalt take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.
2357EXO2920Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take of his blood, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and upon the tip of the right ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.
2358EXO2921And thou shalt take of the blood that is upon the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon the garments of his sons with him: and he shall be hallowed, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons’ garments with him.
2359EXO2922Also thou shalt take of the ram the fat and the rump, and the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder; for it is a ram of consecration:
2360EXO2923And one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket of the unleavened bread that is before the LORD:
2361EXO2924And thou shalt put all in the hands of Aaron, and in the hands of his sons; and shalt wave them for a wave offering before the LORD.
2362EXO2925And thou shalt receive them of their hands, and burn them upon the altar for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour before the LORD: it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
2363EXO2926And thou shalt take the breast of the ram of Aaron’s consecration, and wave it for a wave offering before the LORD: and it shall be thy part.
2364EXO2927And thou shalt sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the shoulder of the heave offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram of the consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his sons:
2365EXO2928And it shall be Aaron’s and his sons’ by a statute for ever from the children of Israel: for it is an heave offering: and it shall be an heave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifice of their peace offerings, even their heave offering unto the LORD.
2366EXO2929¶ And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons’ after him, to be anointed therein, and to be consecrated in them.
2367EXO2930And that son that is priest in his stead shall put them on seven days, when he cometh into the tabernacle of the congregation to minister in the holy place.
2368EXO2931¶ And thou shalt take the ram of the consecration, and seethe his flesh in the holy place.
2369EXO2932And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
2370EXO2933And they shall eat those things wherewith the atonement was made, to consecrate and to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat thereof, because they are holy.
2371EXO2934And if ought of the flesh of the consecrations, or of the bread, remain unto the morning, then thou shalt burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it is holy.
2372EXO2935And thus shalt thou do unto Aaron, and to his sons, according to all things which I have commanded thee: seven days shalt thou consecrate them.
2373EXO2936And thou shalt offer every day a bullock for a sin offering for atonement: and thou shalt cleanse the altar, when thou hast made an atonement for it, and thou shalt anoint it, to sanctify it.
2374EXO2937Seven days thou shalt make an atonement for the altar, and sanctify it; and it shall be an altar most holy: whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be holy.
2375EXO2938¶ Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually.
2376EXO2939The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even:
2377EXO2940And with the one lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering.
2378EXO2941And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even, and shalt do thereto according to the meat offering of the morning, and according to the drink offering thereof, for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
2379EXO2942This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD: where I will meet you, to speak there unto thee.
2380EXO2943And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory.
2381EXO2944And I will sanctify the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar: I will sanctify also both Aaron and his sons, to minister to me in the priest’s office.
2382EXO2945¶ And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.
2383EXO2946And they shall know that I am the LORD their God, that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them: I am the LORD their God.
2384EXO301And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: of shittim wood shalt thou make it.
2385EXO302A cubit shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof; foursquare shall it be: and two cubits shall be the height thereof: the horns thereof shall be of the same.
2386EXO303And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and thou shalt make unto it a crown of gold round about.
2387EXO304And two golden rings shalt thou make to it under the crown of it, by the two corners thereof, upon the two sides of it shalt thou make it; and they shall be for places for the staves to bear it withal.
2388EXO305And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
2389EXO306And thou shalt put it before the vail that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee.
2390EXO307And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it.
2391EXO308And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations.
2392EXO309Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor meat offering; neither shall ye pour drink offering thereon.
2393EXO3010And Aaron shall make an atonement upon the horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonements: once in the year shall he make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it is most holy unto the LORD.
2394EXO3011¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2395EXO3012When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto the LORD, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when thou numberest them.
2396EXO3013This they shall give, every one that passeth among them that are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary: (a shekel is twenty gerahs:) an half shekel shall be the offering of the LORD.
2397EXO3014Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering unto the LORD.
2398EXO3015The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when they give an offering unto the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.
2399EXO3016And thou shalt take the atonement money of the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; that it may be a memorial unto the children of Israel before the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.
2400EXO3017¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2401EXO3018Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, and his foot also of brass, to wash withal: and thou shalt put it between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein.
2402EXO3019For Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat:
2403EXO3020When they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn offering made by fire unto the LORD:
2404EXO3021So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations.
2405EXO3022¶ Moreover the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2406EXO3023Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels,
2407EXO3024And of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin:
2408EXO3025And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil.
2409EXO3026And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation therewith, and the ark of the testimony,
2410EXO3027And the table and all his vessels, and the candlestick and his vessels, and the altar of incense,
2411EXO3028And the altar of burnt offering with all his vessels, and the laver and his foot.
2412EXO3029And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy.
2413EXO3030And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister unto me in the priest’s office.
2414EXO3031And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This shall be an holy anointing oil unto me throughout your generations.
2415EXO3032Upon man’s flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any other like it, after the composition of it: it is holy, and it shall be holy unto you.
2416EXO3033Whosoever compoundeth any like it, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, shall even be cut off from his people.
2417EXO3034¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; these sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be a like weight:
2418EXO3035And thou shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered together, pure and holy:
2419EXO3036And thou shalt beat some of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation, where I will meet with thee: it shall be unto you most holy.
2420EXO3037And as for the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to yourselves according to the composition thereof: it shall be unto thee holy for the LORD.
2421EXO3038Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto, shall even be cut off from his people.
2422EXO311And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2423EXO312See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
2424EXO313And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
2425EXO314To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
2426EXO315And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.
2427EXO316And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee;
2428EXO317The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle,
2429EXO318And the table and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar of incense,
2430EXO319And the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver and his foot,
2431EXO3110And the cloths of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest’s office,
2432EXO3111And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.
2433EXO3112¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2434EXO3113Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.
2435EXO3114Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
2436EXO3115Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
2437EXO3116Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
2438EXO3117It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
2439EXO3118¶ And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
2440EXO321And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
2441EXO322And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.
2442EXO323And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
2443EXO324And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
2444EXO325And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD.
2445EXO326And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
2446EXO327¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
2447EXO328They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
2448EXO329And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
2449EXO3210Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.
2450EXO3211And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?
2451EXO3212Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people.
2452EXO3213Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.
2453EXO3214And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.
2454EXO3215¶ And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written.
2455EXO3216And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables.
2456EXO3217And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.
2457EXO3218And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but the noise of them that sing do I hear.
2458EXO3219¶ And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses’ anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.
2459EXO3220And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.
2460EXO3221And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?
2461EXO3222And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief.
2462EXO3223For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
2463EXO3224And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.
2464EXO3225¶ And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies:)
2465EXO3226Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD’s side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.
2466EXO3227And he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.
2467EXO3228And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.
2468EXO3229For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves to day to the LORD, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.
2469EXO3230¶ And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the LORD; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin.
2470EXO3231And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.
2471EXO3232Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin—; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.
2472EXO3233And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
2473EXO3234Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.
2474EXO3235And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.
2475EXO331And the LORD said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it:
2476EXO332And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:
2477EXO333Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee in the way.
2478EXO334¶ And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments.
2479EXO335For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee.
2480EXO336And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb.
2481EXO337And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, that every one which sought the LORD went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the camp.
2482EXO338And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that all the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle.
2483EXO339And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the LORD talked with Moses.
2484EXO3310And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door.
2485EXO3311And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.
2486EXO3312¶ And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight.
2487EXO3313Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.
2488EXO3314And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.
2489EXO3315And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.
2490EXO3316For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.
2491EXO3317And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.
2492EXO3318And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.
2493EXO3319And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.
2494EXO3320And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
2495EXO3321And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
2496EXO3322And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:
2497EXO3323And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
2498EXO341And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest.
2499EXO342And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present thyself there to me in the top of the mount.
2500EXO343And no man shall come up with thee, neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that mount.
