Genesis 18:1--44:34

And the LORD
<03068>
appeared
<07200> (8735)
unto him in the plains
<0436>
of Mamre
<04471>_:
and he sat
<03427> (8802)
in the tent
<0168>
door
<06607>
in the heat
<02527>
of the day
<03117>_;
{plain: Heb. plains}
And he lift up
<05375> (8799)
his eyes
<05869>
and looked
<07200> (8799)_,
and, lo, three
<07969>
men
<0582>
stood
<05324> (8737)
by him: and when he saw
<07200> (8799)
[them], he ran
<07323> (8799)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
them from the tent
<0168>
door
<06607>_,
and bowed
<07812> (8691)
himself toward the ground
<0776>_,
And said
<0559> (8799)_,
My Lord
<0136>_,
if now I have found
<04672> (8804)
favour
<02580>
in thy sight
<05869>_,
pass not away
<05674> (8799)_,
I pray thee, from thy servant
<05650>_:
Let a little
<04592>
water
<04325>_,
I pray you
<04994>_,
be fetched
<03947> (8714)_,
and wash
<07364> (8798)
your feet
<07272>_,
and rest yourselves
<08172> (8734)
under the tree
<06086>_:
And I will fetch
<03947> (8799)
a morsel
<06595>
of bread
<03899>_,
and comfort ye
<05582> (8798)
your hearts
<03820>_;
after that
<0310>
ye shall pass on
<05674> (8799)_:
for therefore are ye come
<05674> (8804)
to
<05921>
your servant
<05650>_.
And they said
<01696> (8765)_,
So do
<06213> (8799)_,
as thou hast said
<0559> (8799)_.
{comfort: Heb. stay} {are...: Heb. you have passed}
And Abraham
<085>
hastened
<04116> (8762)
into the tent
<0168>
unto Sarah
<08283>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Make ready quickly
<04116> (8761)
three
<07969>
measures
<05429>
of fine
<05560>
meal
<07058>_,
knead
<03888> (8798)
[it], and make
<06213> (0)
cakes
<05692>
upon the hearth
<06213> (8798)_.
{Make ready...: Heb. Hasten}
And Abraham
<085>
ran
<07323> (8804)
unto the herd
<01241>_,
and fetcht
<03947> (8799)
a calf
<01121> <01241>
tender
<07390>
and good
<02896>_,
and gave
<05414> (8799)
[it] unto a young man
<05288>_;
and he hasted
<04116> (8762)
to dress
<06213> (8800)
it.
And he took
<03947> (8799)
butter
<02529>_,
and milk
<02461>_,
and the calf
<01121> <01241>
which he had dressed
<06213> (8804)_,
and set
<05414> (8799)
[it] before them
<06440>_;
and he stood
<05975> (8802)
by them under the tree
<06086>_,
and they did eat
<0398> (8799)_.
And they said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Where
<0346>
[is] Sarah
<08283>
thy wife
<0802>_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, in the tent
<0168>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will certainly
<07725> (8800)
return
<07725> (8799)
unto thee according to the time
<06256>
of life
<02416>_;
and, lo, Sarah
<08283>
thy wife
<0802>
shall have a son
<01121>_.
And Sarah
<08283>
heard
<08085> (8802)
[it] in the tent
<0168>
door
<06607>_,
which [was] behind him
<0310>_.
Now Abraham
<085>
and Sarah
<08283>
[were] old
<02205>
[and] well stricken
<0935> (8802)
in age
<03117>_;
[and] it ceased
<02308> (8804)
to be with Sarah
<08283>
after the manner
<0734>
of women
<0802>_.
Therefore Sarah
<08283>
laughed
<06711> (8799)
within herself
<07130>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
After
<0310>
I am waxed old
<01086> (8800)
shall I have pleasure
<05730>_,
my lord
<0113>
being old also
<02204> (8804)_?
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Abraham
<085>_,
Wherefore
<04100>
did Sarah
<08283>
laugh
<06711> (8804)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Shall I of a surety
<0552>
bear
<03205> (8799)
a child, which
<0589>
am old
<02204> (8804)_?
Is
<06381> (0)
any thing
<01697>
too hard
<06381> (8735)
for the LORD
<03068>_?
At the time appointed
<04150>
I will return
<07725> (8799)
unto thee, according to the time
<06256>
of life
<02416>_,
and Sarah
<08283>
shall have a son
<01121>_.
Then Sarah
<08283>
denied
<03584> (8762)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
I laughed
<06711> (8804)
not; for she was afraid
<03372> (8804)_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Nay
<03808>_;
but thou didst laugh
<06711> (8804)_.
And the men
<0582>
rose up
<06965> (8799)
from thence, and looked
<08259> (8686)
toward
<06440>
Sodom
<05467>_:
and Abraham
<085>
went
<01980> (8802)
with them to bring them on the way
<07971> (8763)_.
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8804)_,
Shall I hide
<03680> (8764)
from Abraham
<085>
that thing which
<0834>
I do
<06213> (8802)_;
Seeing that Abraham
<085>
shall surely become a great
<01419>
and mighty
<06099>
nation
<01471>_,
and all the nations
<01471>
of the earth
<0776>
shall be blessed
<01288> (8738)
in him?
For I know
<03045> (8804)
him, that
<0834>
he will command
<06680> (8762)
his children
<01121>
and his household
<01004>
after him
<0310>_,
and they shall keep
<08104> (8804)
the way
<01870>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
to do
<06213> (8800)
justice
<06666>
and judgment
<04941>_;
that the LORD
<03068>
may bring
<0935> (8687)
upon Abraham
<085>
that which he hath spoken
<01696> (8765)
of him.
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Because the cry
<02201>
of Sodom
<05467>
and Gomorrah
<06017>
is great
<07227>_,
and because their sin
<02403>
is very
<03966>
grievous
<03513> (8804)_;
I will go down
<03381> (8799)
now, and see
<07200> (8799)
whether they have done
<06213> (8804)
altogether
<03617>
according to the cry
<06818>
of it, which is come
<0935> (8802)
unto me; and if not, I will know
<03045> (8799)_.
And the men
<0582>
turned their faces
<06437> (8799)
from thence, and went
<03212> (8799)
toward Sodom
<05467>_:
but Abraham
<085>
stood
<05975> (8802)
yet
<05750>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_.
And Abraham
<085>
drew near
<05066> (8799)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Wilt thou also destroy
<05595> (8799)
the righteous
<06662>
with
<05973>
the wicked
<07563>_?
Peradventure there be
<03426>
fifty
<02572>
righteous
<06662>
within
<08432>
the city
<05892>_:
wilt thou also destroy
<05595> (8799)
and not spare
<05375> (8799)
the place
<04725>
for
<04616>
the fifty
<02572>
righteous
<06662>
that [are] therein
<07130>_?
That be far
<02486>
from thee to do
<06213> (8800)
after this manner
<01697>_,
to slay
<04191> (8687)
the righteous
<06662>
with the wicked
<07563>_:
and that the righteous
<06662>
should be as the wicked
<07563>_,
that be far
<02486>
from thee: Shall not the Judge
<08199> (8802)
of all the earth
<0776>
do
<06213> (8799)
right
<04941>_?
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
If I find
<04672> (8799)
in Sodom
<05467>
fifty
<02572>
righteous
<06662>
within
<08432>
the city
<05892>_,
then I will spare
<05375> (8804)
all the place
<04725>
for their sakes.
And Abraham
<085>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold now, I have taken upon me
<02974> (8689)
to speak
<01696> (8763)
unto the Lord
<0136>_,
which
<0595>
[am but] dust
<06083>
and ashes
<0665>_:
Peradventure there shall lack
<02637> (8799)
five
<02568>
of the fifty
<02572>
righteous
<06662>_:
wilt thou destroy
<07843> (8686)
all the city
<05892>
for [lack of] five
<02568>_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
If I find
<04672> (8799)
there forty
<0705>
and five
<02568>_,
I will not destroy
<07843> (8686)
[it].
And he spake
<01696> (8763)
unto him yet again
<03254> (8686)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Peradventure there shall be forty
<0705>
found
<04672> (8735)
there. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will not do
<06213> (8799)
[it] for forty's
<0705>
sake.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
[unto him], Oh
<04994>
let not the Lord
<0136>
be angry
<02734> (8799)_,
and I will speak
<01696> (8762)_:
Peradventure there shall thirty
<07970>
be found
<04672> (8735)
there. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will not do
<06213> (8799)
[it], if I find
<04672> (8799)
thirty
<07970>
there.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold now, I have taken upon me
<02974> (8689)
to speak
<01696> (8763)
unto the Lord
<0136>_:
Peradventure there shall be twenty
<06242>
found
<04672> (8735)
there. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will not destroy
<07843> (8686)
[it] for twenty's
<06242>
sake.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Oh let not the Lord
<0136>
be angry
<02734> (8799)_,
and I will speak
<01696> (8762)
yet
<0389>
but this once
<06471>_:
Peradventure ten
<06235>
shall be found
<04672> (8735)
there. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will not destroy
<07843> (8686)
[it] for ten's
<06235>
sake.
And the LORD
<03068>
went his way
<03212> (8799)_,
as soon as
<0834>
he had left
<03615> (8765)
communing
<01696> (8763)
with Abraham
<085>_:
and Abraham
<085>
returned
<07725> (8804)
unto his place
<04725>_.
And there came
<0935> (8799)
two
<08147>
angels
<04397>
to Sodom
<05467>
at even
<06153>_;
and Lot
<03876>
sat
<03427> (8802)
in the gate
<08179>
of Sodom
<05467>_:
and Lot
<03876>
seeing
<07200> (8799)
[them] rose up
<06965> (8799)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
them; and he bowed
<07812> (8691)
himself with his face
<0639>
toward the ground
<0776>_;
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold now, my lords
<0113>_,
turn in
<05493> (8798)_,
I pray you, into your servant's
<05650>
house
<01004>_,
and tarry all night
<03885> (8798)_,
and wash
<07364> (8798)
your feet
<07272>_,
and ye shall rise up early
<07925> (8689)_,
and go
<01980> (8804)
on your ways
<01870>_.
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Nay; but we will abide
<03885> (0)
in the street
<07339>
all night
<03885> (8799)_.
And he pressed
<06484> (8799)
upon them greatly
<03966>_;
and they turned in
<05493> (8799)
unto him, and entered
<0935> (8799)
into his house
<01004>_;
and he made
<06213> (8799)
them a feast
<04960>_,
and did bake
<0644> (8804)
unleavened bread
<04682>_,
and they did eat
<0398> (8799)_.
But before they lay down
<07901> (8799)_,
the men
<0582>
of the city
<05892>_,
[even] the men
<0582>
of Sodom
<05467>_,
compassed
<05437> (0)
the house
<01004>
round
<05437> (8738)_,
both old
<02205>
and young
<05288>_,
all the people
<05971>
from every quarter
<07097>_:
And they called
<07121> (8799)
unto Lot
<03876>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Where [are] the men
<0582>
which came in
<0935> (8804)
to thee this night
<03915>_?
bring them out
<03318> (8685)
unto us, that we may know
<03045> (8799)
them.
And Lot
<03876>
went out
<03318> (8799)
at the door
<06607>
unto them, and shut
<05462> (8804)
the door
<01817>
after him
<0310>_,
And said
<0559> (8799)_,
I pray you, brethren
<0251>_,
do not so wickedly
<07489> (8686)_.
Behold now, I have two
<08147>
daughters
<01323>
which have not known
<03045> (8804)
man
<0376>_;
let me, I pray you, bring them out
<03318> (8686)
unto you, and do
<06213> (8798)
ye to them as [is] good
<02896>
in your eyes
<05869>_:
only unto these
<0411>
men
<0582>
do
<06213> (8799)
nothing
<0408> <01697>_;
for therefore came
<0935> (8804)
they under the shadow
<06738>
of my roof
<06982>_.
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Stand
<05066> (8798)
back
<01973>_.
And they said
<0559> (8799)
[again], This one
<0259>
[fellow] came in
<0935> (8804)
to sojourn
<01481> (8800)_,
and he will needs
<08199> (8800)
be a judge
<08199> (8799)_:
now will we deal worse
<07489> (8686)
with thee, than with them. And they pressed
<06484> (8799)
sore
<03966>
upon the man
<0376>_,
[even] Lot
<03876>_,
and came near
<05066> (8799)
to break
<07665> (8800)
the door
<01817>_.
But the men
<0582>
put forth
<07971> (8799)
their hand
<03027>_,
and pulled
<0935> (8686)
Lot
<03876>
into the house
<01004>
to them, and shut
<05462> (8804)
to the door
<01817>_.
And they smote
<05221> (8689)
the men
<0582>
that [were] at the door
<06607>
of the house
<01004>
with blindness
<05575>_,
both small
<06996>
and great
<01419>_:
so that they wearied
<03811> (8799)
themselves to find
<04672> (8800)
the door
<06607>_.
And the men
<0582>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Lot
<03876>_,
Hast thou here
<06311>
any
<04310>
besides? son in law
<02860>_,
and thy sons
<01121>_,
and thy daughters
<01323>_,
and whatsoever
<0834>
thou hast in the city
<05892>_,
bring [them] out
<03318> (8685)
of this place
<04725>_:
For we
<0587>
will destroy
<07843> (8688) <0853>
this place
<04725>_,
because the cry of them
<06818>
is waxen great
<01431> (8804)
before
<0854>
the face
<06440>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
and the LORD
<03068>
hath sent
<07971> (8762)
us to destroy
<07843> (8763)
it.
And Lot
<03876>
went out
<03318> (8799)_,
and spake
<01696> (8762)
unto his sons in law
<02860>_,
which married
<03947> (8802)
his daughters
<01323>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Up
<06965> (8798)_,
get you out
<03318> (8798)
of this place
<04725>_;
for the LORD
<03068>
will destroy
<07843> (8688)
this city
<05892>_.
But he seemed as one that mocked
<06711> (8764)
unto
<05869>
his sons in law
<02860>_.
And when
<03644>
the morning
<07837>
arose
<05927> (8804)_,
then the angels
<04397>
hastened
<0213> (8686)
Lot
<03876>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Arise
<06965> (8798)_,
take
<03947> (8798)
thy wife
<0802>_,
and thy two
<08147>
daughters
<01323>_,
which are here
<04672> (8737)_;
lest thou be consumed
<05595> (8735)
in the iniquity
<05771>
of the city
<05892>_.
{are here: Heb. are found} {iniquity: or, punishment}
And while he lingered
<04102> (8698)_,
the men
<0582>
laid hold
<02388> (8686)
upon his hand
<03027>_,
and upon the hand
<03027>
of his wife
<0802>_,
and upon the hand
<03027>
of his two
<08147>
daughters
<01323>_;
the LORD
<03068>
being merciful
<02551>
unto him: and they brought him forth
<03318> (8686)_,
and set him
<03240> (8686)
without
<02351>
the city
<05892>_.
And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth
<03318> (8687)
abroad
<02351>_,
that he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Escape
<04422> (8734)
for
<05921>
thy life
<05315>_;
look
<05027> (8686)
not behind thee
<0310>_,
neither stay
<05975> (8799)
thou in all the plain
<03603>_;
escape
<04422> (8734)
to the mountain
<02022>_,
lest thou be consumed
<05595> (8735)_.
And Lot
<03876>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord
<0113>_:
Behold now, thy servant
<05650>
hath found
<04672> (8804)
grace
<02580>
in thy sight
<05869>_,
and thou hast magnified
<01431> (8686)
thy mercy
<02617>_,
which thou hast shewed
<06213> (8804)
unto me
<05978>
in saving
<02421> (8687)
my life
<05315>_;
and I cannot
<03201> (8799)
escape
<04422> (8736)
to the mountain
<02022>_,
lest some evil
<07451>
take
<01692> (8799)
me, and I die
<04191> (8804)_:
Behold now, this city
<05892>
[is] near
<07138>
to flee
<05127> (8800)
unto, and it
<01931>
[is] a little one
<04705>_:
Oh, let me escape
<04422> (8735)
thither, ([is] it not a little one
<04705>?)
and my soul
<05315>
shall live
<02421> (8799)_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, See
<02009>_,
I have accepted
<05375> (8804)
thee
<06440>
concerning this thing
<01697>
also, that I will not overthrow
<02015> (8800)
this city
<05892>_,
for the which
<0834>
thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)_.
{thee: Heb. thy face}
Haste
<04116> (8761)
thee, escape
<04422> (8734)
thither; for I cannot
<03201> (8799)
do
<06213> (8800)
any thing
<01697>
till thou be come
<0935> (8800)
thither. Therefore the name
<08034>
of the city
<05892>
was called
<07121> (8804)
Zoar
<06820>_.
{Zoar: that is, Little}
The sun
<08121>
was risen
<03318> (8804)
upon the earth
<0776>
when Lot
<03876>
entered
<0935> (8804)
into Zoar
<06820>_.
{risen: Heb. gone forth}
Then the LORD
<03068>
rained
<04305> (8689)
upon Sodom
<05467>
and upon Gomorrah
<06017>
brimstone
<01614>
and fire
<0784>
from the LORD
<03068>
out of heaven
<08064>_;
And he overthrew
<02015> (8799)
those
<0411>
cities
<05892>_,
and all the plain
<03603>_,
and all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the cities
<05892>_,
and that which grew
<06780>
upon the ground
<0127>_.
But his wife
<0802>
looked back
<05027> (8686)
from behind him
<0310>_,
and she became a pillar
<05333>
of salt
<04417>_.
And Abraham
<085>
gat up early
<07925> (8686)
in the morning
<01242>
to the place
<04725>
where he stood
<05975> (8804)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_:
And he looked
<08259> (8686)
toward
<06440>
Sodom
<05467>
and Gomorrah
<06017>_,
and toward
<06440>
all the land
<0776>
of the plain
<03603>_,
and beheld
<07200> (8799)_,
and, lo, the smoke
<07008>
of the country
<0776>
went up
<05927> (8804)
as the smoke
<07008>
of a furnace
<03536>_.
And it came to pass, when God
<0430>
destroyed
<07843> (8763)
the cities
<05892>
of the plain
<03603>_,
that God
<0430>
remembered
<02142> (8799)
Abraham
<085>_,
and sent
<07971> (8762)
Lot
<03876>
out of the midst
<08432>
of the overthrow
<02018>_,
when he overthrew
<02015> (8800)
the cities
<05892>
in the which
<02004>
Lot
<03876>
dwelt
<03427> (8804)_.
And Lot
<03876>
went up
<05927> (8799)
out of Zoar
<06820>_,
and dwelt
<03427> (8799)
in the mountain
<02022>_,
and his two
<08147>
daughters
<01323>
with him; for he feared
<03372> (8804)
to dwell
<03427> (8800)
in Zoar
<06820>_:
and he dwelt
<03427> (8799)
in a cave
<04631>_,
he and his two
<08147>
daughters
<01323>_.
And the firstborn
<01067>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the younger
<06810>_,
Our father
<01>
[is] old
<02204> (8804)_,
and [there is] not a man
<0376>
in the earth
<0776>
to come in
<0935> (8800)
unto us after the manner
<01870>
of all the earth
<0776>_:
Come
<03212> (8798)_,
let us make
<08248> (0)
our father
<01>
drink
<08248> (8686)
wine
<03196>_,
and we will lie
<07901> (8799)
with him, that we may preserve
<02421> (8762)
seed
<02233>
of our father
<01>_.
And they made
<08248> (0)
their father
<01>
drink
<08248> (8686)
wine
<03196>
that night
<03915>_:
and the firstborn
<01067>
went in
<0935> (8799)_,
and lay
<07901> (8799)
with her father
<01>_;
and he perceived
<03045> (8804)
not when she lay down
<07901> (8800)_,
nor when she arose
<06965> (8800)_.
And it came to pass on the morrow
<04283>_,
that the firstborn
<01067>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the younger
<06810>_,
Behold, I lay
<07901> (8804)
yesternight
<0570>
with my father
<01>_:
let us make him drink
<08248> (8686)
wine
<03196>
this night
<03915>
also; and go thou in
<0935> (8798)_,
[and] lie
<07901> (8798)
with him, that we may preserve
<02421> (8762)
seed
<02233>
of our father
<01>_.
And they made
<08248> (0)
their father
<01>
drink
<08248> (8686)
wine
<03196>
that
<01931>
night
<03915>
also: and the younger
<06810>
arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and lay
<07901> (8799)
with him; and he perceived
<03045> (8804)
not when she lay down
<07901> (8800)_,
nor when she arose
<06965> (8800)_.
Thus were both
<08147>
the daughters
<01323>
of Lot
<03876>
with child
<02029> (8799)
by their father
<01>_.
And the firstborn
<01067>
bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>_,
and called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Moab
<04124>_:
the same
<01931>
[is] the father
<01>
of the Moabites
<04124>
unto this day
<03117>_.
And the younger
<06810>_,
she also bare
<03205> (8804)
a son
<01121>_,
and called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Benammi
<01151>_:
the same [is] the father
<01>
of the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>
unto this day
<03117>_.
And Abraham
<085>
journeyed
<05265> (8799)
from thence toward the south
<05045>
country
<0776>_,
and dwelled
<03427> (8799)
between Kadesh
<06946>
and Shur
<07793>_,
and sojourned
<01481> (8799)
in Gerar
<01642>_.
And Abraham
<085>
said
<0559> (8799)
of
<0413>
Sarah
<08283>
his wife
<0802>_,
She [is] my sister
<0269>_:
and Abimelech
<040>
king
<04428>
of Gerar
<01642>
sent
<07971> (8799)_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
Sarah
<08283>_.
But God
<0430>
came
<0935> (8799)
to Abimelech
<040>
in a dream
<02472>
by night
<03915>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
to him, Behold, thou [art but] a dead man
<04191> (8801)_,
for the woman
<0802>
which thou hast taken
<03947> (8804)_;
for she [is] a man's
<01167>
wife
<01166> (8803)_.
{a man's...: Heb. married to an husband}
But Abimelech
<040>
had not come near
<07126> (8804)
her: and he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Lord
<0136>_,
wilt thou slay
<02026> (8799)
also a righteous
<06662>
nation
<01471>_?
Said
<0559> (8804)
he not unto me, She
<01931>
[is] my sister
<0269>_?
and she
<01931>_,
even
<01571>
she
<01931>
herself said
<0559> (8804)_,
He [is] my brother
<0251>_:
in the integrity
<08537>
of my heart
<03824>
and innocency
<05356>
of my hands
<03709>
have I done
<06213> (8804)
this. {integrity: or, simplicity, or, sincerity}
And God
<0430>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him in a dream
<02472>_,
Yea
<01571>_,
I know
<03045> (8804)
that thou didst
<06213> (8804)
this in the integrity
<08537>
of thy heart
<03824>_;
for I also withheld
<02820> (8799)
thee from sinning
<02398> (8800)
against me: therefore suffered
<05414> (8804)
I thee not to touch
<05060> (8800)
her.
Now therefore restore
<07725> (8685)
the man
<0376>
[his] wife
<0802>_;
for he [is] a prophet
<05030>_,
and he shall pray
<06419> (8691)
for thee
<01157>_,
and thou shalt live
<02421> (8798)_:
and if thou restore
<07725> (8688)
[her] not, know
<03045> (8798)
thou that thou shalt surely
<04191> (8800)
die
<04191> (8799)_,
thou, and all that [are] thine.
Therefore Abimelech
<040>
rose early
<07925> (8686)
in the morning
<01242>_,
and called
<07121> (8799)
all his servants
<05650>_,
and told
<01696> (8762)
all these things
<01697>
in their ears
<0241>_:
and the men
<0582>
were sore
<03966>
afraid
<03372> (8799)_.
Then Abimelech
<040>
called
<07121> (8799)
Abraham
<085>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, What hast thou done
<06213> (8804)
unto us? and what have I offended
<02398> (8804)
thee, that thou hast brought
<0935> (8689)
on me and on my kingdom
<04467>
a great
<01419>
sin
<02401>_?
thou hast done
<06213> (8804)
deeds
<04639>
unto me that ought not to be done
<06213> (8735)_.
And Abimelech
<040>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Abraham
<085>_,
What
<04100>
sawest thou
<07200> (8804)_,
that thou hast done
<06213> (8804)
this thing
<01697>_?
And Abraham
<085>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Because I thought
<0559> (8804)_,
Surely
<07535>
the fear
<03374>
of God
<0430>
[is] not in this place
<04725>_;
and they will slay me
<02026> (8804)
for my wife's
<0802>
sake
<01697>_.
And yet indeed
<0546>
[she is] my sister
<0269>_;
she [is] the daughter
<01323>
of my father
<01>_,
but not the daughter
<01323>
of my mother
<0517>_;
and she became my wife
<0802>_.
And it came to pass, when God
<0430>
caused me to wander
<08582> (8689)
from my father's
<01>
house
<01004>_,
that I said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, This [is] thy kindness
<02617>
which thou shalt shew
<06213> (8799)
unto me; at every place
<04725>
whither we shall come
<0935> (8799)_,
say
<0559> (8798)
of me, He [is] my brother
<0251>_.
And Abimelech
<040>
took
<03947> (8799)
sheep
<06629>_,
and oxen
<01241>_,
and menservants
<05650>_,
and womenservants
<08198>_,
and gave
<05414> (8799)
[them] unto Abraham
<085>_,
and restored
<07725> (8686)
him Sarah
<08283>
his wife
<0802>_.
And Abimelech
<040>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, my land
<0776>
[is] before thee
<06440>_:
dwell
<03427> (8798)
where it pleaseth
<02896> <05869>
thee. {where...: Heb. as is good in thine eyes}
And unto Sarah
<08283>
he said
<0559> (8804)_,
Behold, I have given
<05414> (8804)
thy brother
<0251>
a thousand
<0505>
[pieces] of silver
<03701>_:
behold, he [is] to thee a covering
<03682>
of the eyes
<05869>_,
unto all that [are] with thee, and with all [other]: thus she was reproved
<03198> (8737)_.
So Abraham
<085>
prayed
<06419> (8691)
unto God
<0430>_:
and God
<0430>
healed
<07495> (8799)
Abimelech
<040>_,
and his wife
<0802>_,
and his maidservants
<0519>_;
and they bare
<03205> (8799)
[children].
For the LORD
<03068>
had fast
<06113> (8800)
closed up
<06113> (8804)
all the wombs
<07358>
of the house
<01004>
of Abimelech
<040>_,
because
<01697>
of Sarah
<08283>
Abraham's
<085>
wife
<0802>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
visited
<06485> (8804)
Sarah
<08283>
as he had said
<0559> (8804)_,
and the LORD
<03068>
did
<06213> (8799)
unto Sarah
<08283>
as he had spoken
<01696> (8765)_.
For Sarah
<08283>
conceived
<02029> (8799)_,
and bare
<03205> (8799)
Abraham
<085>
a son
<01121>
in his old age
<02208>_,
at the set time
<04150>
of which God
<0430>
had spoken
<01696> (8765)
to him.
And Abraham
<085>
called
<07121> (8799)
the name
<08034>
of his son
<01121>
that was born
<03205> (8737)
unto him, whom Sarah
<08283>
bare
<03205> (8804)
to him, Isaac
<03327>_.
And Abraham
<085>
circumcised
<04135> (8799)
his son
<01121>
Isaac
<03327>
being eight
<08083>
days
<03117>
old
<01121>_,
as God
<0430>
had commanded
<06680> (8765)
him.
And Abraham
<085>
was an hundred
<03967>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>_,
when his son
<01121>
Isaac
<03327>
was born
<03205> (8736)
unto him.
And Sarah
<08283>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
God
<0430>
hath made
<06213> (8804)
me to laugh
<06712>_,
[so that] all that hear
<08085> (8802)
will laugh
<06711> (8799)
with me.
And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
Who would have said
<04448> (8765)
unto Abraham
<085>_,
that Sarah
<08283>
should have given children
<01121>
suck
<03243> (8689)_?
for I have born
<03205> (8804)
[him] a son
<01121>
in his old age
<02208>_.
And the child
<03206>
grew
<01431> (8799)_,
and was weaned
<01580> (8735)_:
and Abraham
<085>
made
<06213> (8799)
a great
<01419>
feast
<04960>
the [same] day
<03117>
that Isaac
<03327>
was weaned
<01580> (8736)_.
And Sarah
<08283>
saw
<07200> (8799)
the son
<01121>
of Hagar
<01904>
the Egyptian
<04713>_,
which she had born
<03205> (8804)
unto Abraham
<085>_,
mocking
<06711> (8764)_.
Wherefore she said
<0559> (8799)
unto Abraham
<085>_,
Cast out
<01644> (8761)
this bondwoman
<0519>
and her son
<01121>_:
for the son
<01121>
of this bondwoman
<0519>
shall not be heir
<03423> (8799)
with my son
<01121>_,
[even] with Isaac
<03327>_.
And the thing
<01697>
was very
<03966>
grievous
<03415> (8799)
in Abraham's
<085>
sight
<05869>
because
<0182>
of his son
<01121>_.
And God
<0430>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Abraham
<085>_,
Let it not be grievous
<03415> (8799)
in thy sight
<05869>
because of the lad
<05288>_,
and because of thy bondwoman
<0519>_;
in all that Sarah
<08283>
hath said
<0559> (8799)
unto thee, hearken
<08085> (8798)
unto her voice
<06963>_;
for in Isaac
<03327>
shall thy seed
<02233>
be called
<07121> (8735)_.
And also of the son
<01121>
of the bondwoman
<0519>
will I make
<07760> (8799)
a nation
<01471>_,
because he [is] thy seed
<02233>_.
And Abraham
<085>
rose up early
<07925> (8686)
in the morning
<01242>_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
bread
<03899>_,
and a bottle
<02573>
of water
<04325>_,
and gave
<05414> (8799)
[it] unto Hagar
<01904>_,
putting
<07760> (8804)
[it] on her shoulder
<07926>_,
and the child
<03206>_,
and sent her away
<07971> (8762)_:
and she departed
<03212> (8799)_,
and wandered
<08582> (8799)
in the wilderness
<04057>
of Beersheba
<0884>_.
And the water
<04325>
was spent
<03615> (8799)
in
<04480>
the bottle
<02573>_,
and she cast
<07993> (8686)
the child
<03206>
under one
<0259>
of the shrubs
<07880>_.
And she went
<03212> (8799)_,
and sat her down
<03427> (8799)
over against
<05048>
[him] a good way off
<07368> (8687)_,
as it were a bowshot
<02909> (8764) <07198>_:
for she said
<0559> (8804)_,
Let me not see
<07200> (8799)
the death
<04194>
of the child
<03206>_.
And she sat
<03427> (8799)
over against [him], and lift up
<05375> (8799)
her voice
<06963>_,
and wept
<01058> (8799)_.
And God
<0430>
heard
<08085> (8804)
the voice
<06963>
of the lad
<05288>_;
and the angel
<04397>
of God
<0430>
called
<07121> (8799)
to Hagar
<01904>
out of heaven
<08064>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar
<01904>_?
fear
<03372> (8799)
not; for God
<0430>
hath heard
<08085> (8799)
the voice
<06963>
of the lad
<05288>
where he [is].
Arise
<06965> (8798)_,
lift up
<05375> (8798)
the lad
<05288>_,
and hold
<02388> (8685)
him in thine hand
<03027>_;
for I will make
<07760> (8799)
him a great
<01419>
nation
<01471>_.
And God
<0430>
opened
<06491> (8799)
her eyes
<05869>_,
and she saw
<07200> (8799)
a well
<0875>
of water
<04325>_;
and she went
<03212> (8799)_,
and filled
<04390> (8762)
the bottle
<02573>
with water
<04325>_,
and gave
<08248> (0)
the lad
<05288>
drink
<08248> (8686)_.
And God
<0430>
was with the lad
<05288>_;
and he grew
<01431> (8799)_,
and dwelt
<03427> (8799)
in the wilderness
<04057>_,
and became an archer
<07235> (8802) <07199>_.
And he dwelt
<03427> (8799)
in the wilderness
<04057>
of Paran
<06290>_:
and his mother
<0517>
took
<03947> (8799)
him a wife
<0802>
out of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
And it came to pass at that time
<06256>_,
that Abimelech
<040>
and Phichol
<06369>
the chief captain
<08269>
of his host
<06635>
spake
<0559> (8799)
unto Abraham
<085>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
God
<0430>
[is] with thee in all that thou doest
<06213> (8802)_:
Now therefore swear
<07650> (8734)
unto me here
<02008>
by God
<0430>
that thou wilt not deal falsely
<08266> (8799)
with me, nor with my son
<05209>_,
nor with my son's son
<05220>_:
[but] according to the kindness
<02617>
that I have done
<06213> (8804)
unto thee, thou shalt do
<06213> (8799)
unto me, and to the land
<0776>
wherein thou hast sojourned
<01481> (8804)_.
{that thou...: Heb. if thou shalt lie unto me}
And Abraham
<085>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will swear
<07650> (8735)_.
And Abraham
<085>
reproved
<03198> (8689)
Abimelech
<040>
because
<0182>
of a well
<0875>
of water
<04325>_,
which Abimelech's
<040>
servants
<05650>
had violently taken away
<01497> (8804)_.
And Abimelech
<040>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
I wot
<03045> (8804)
not who hath done
<06213> (8804)
this thing
<01697>_:
neither
<03808>
didst thou tell
<05046> (8689)
me, neither
<03808>
yet heard
<08085> (8804)
I [of it], but
<01115>
to day
<03117>_.
And Abraham
<085>
took
<03947> (8799)
sheep
<06629>
and oxen
<01241>_,
and gave
<05414> (8799)
them unto Abimelech
<040>_;
and both of them
<08147>
made
<03772> (8799)
a covenant
<01285>_.
And Abraham
<085>
set
<05324> (8686)
seven
<07651>
ewe lambs
<03535>
of the flock
<06629>
by themselves.
And Abimelech
<040>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Abraham
<085>_,
What
<02008>
[mean] these seven
<07651>
ewe lambs
<03535>
which thou hast set
<05324> (8689)
by themselves?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
For [these] seven
<07651>
ewe lambs
<03535>
shalt thou take
<03947> (8799)
of my hand
<03027>_,
that
<05668>
they may be a witness
<05713>
unto me, that I have digged
<02658> (8804)
this well
<0875>_.
Wherefore he called
<07121> (8804)
that place
<04725>
Beersheba
<0884>_;
because there they sware
<07650> (8738)
both of them
<08147>_.
{Beersheba: that is, The well of the oath}
Thus they made
<03772> (8799)
a covenant
<01285>
at Beersheba
<0884>_:
then Abimelech
<040>
rose up
<06965> (8799)_,
and Phichol
<06369>
the chief captain
<08269>
of his host
<06635>_,
and they returned
<07725> (8799)
into the land
<0776>
of the Philistines
<06430>_.
And [Abraham] planted
<05193> (8799)
a grove
<0815>
in Beersheba
<0884>_,
and called
<07121> (8799)
there on the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
the everlasting
<05769>
God
<0410>_.
{grove: or, tree}
And Abraham
<085>
sojourned
<01481> (8799)
in the Philistines
<06430>_'
land
<0776>
many
<07227>
days
<03117>_.
And it came to pass after
<0310>
these things
<01697>_,
that God
<0430>
did tempt
<05254> (8765)
Abraham
<085>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Abraham
<085>_:
and he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, [here] I [am]. {Behold...: Heb. Behold me}
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Take now
<03947> (8798)
thy son
<01121>_,
thine only
<03173>
[son] Isaac
<03327>_,
whom thou lovest
<0157> (8804)_,
and get thee
<03212> (8798)
into the land
<0776>
of Moriah
<04179>_;
and offer him
<05927> (8685)
there for a burnt offering
<05930>
upon one
<0259>
of the mountains
<02022>
which I will tell
<0559> (8799)
thee of.
And Abraham
<085>
rose up early
<07925> (8686)
in the morning
<01242>_,
and saddled
<02280> (8799)
his ass
<02543>_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
two
<08147>
of his young men
<05288>
with him, and Isaac
<03327>
his son
<01121>_,
and clave
<01234> (8762)
the wood
<06086>
for the burnt offering
<05930>_,
and rose up
<06965> (8799)_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
unto the place
<04725>
of which God
<0430>
had told
<0559> (8804)
him.
Then on the third
<07992>
day
<03117>
Abraham
<085>
lifted up
<05375> (8799)
his eyes
<05869>_,
and saw
<07200> (8799)
the place
<04725>
afar off
<07350>_.
And Abraham
<085>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his young men
<05288>_,
Abide
<03427> (8798)
ye here with the ass
<02543>_;
and I and the lad
<05288>
will go
<03212> (8799)
yonder
<03541>
and worship
<07812> (8691)_,
and come again
<07725> (8799)
to you.
And Abraham
<085>
took
<03947> (8799)
the wood
<06086>
of the burnt offering
<05930>_,
and laid
<07760> (8799)
[it] upon Isaac
<03327>
his son
<01121>_;
and he took
<03947> (8799)
the fire
<0784>
in his hand
<03027>_,
and a knife
<03979>_;
and they went
<03212> (8799)
both
<08147>
of them together
<03162>_.
And Isaac
<03327>
spake
<0559> (8799)
unto Abraham
<085>
his father
<01>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
My father
<01>_:
and he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Here [am] I, my son
<01121>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold the fire
<0784>
and the wood
<06086>_:
but where [is] the lamb
<07716>
for a burnt offering
<05930>_?
{lamb: or, kid}
And Abraham
<085>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
My son
<01121>_,
God
<0430>
will provide
<07200> (8799)
himself a lamb
<07716>
for a burnt offering
<05930>_:
so they went
<03212> (8799)
both of them
<08147>
together
<03162>_.
And they came
<0935> (8799)
to the place
<04725>
which God
<0430>
had told
<0559> (8804)
him of; and Abraham
<085>
built
<01129> (8799)
an altar
<04196>
there, and laid
<06186> (0)
the wood
<06086>
in order
<06186> (8799)_,
and bound
<06123> (8799)
Isaac
<03327>
his son
<01121>_,
and laid
<07760> (8799)
him on the altar
<04196>
upon
<04605>
the wood
<06086>_.
And Abraham
<085>
stretched forth
<07971> (8799)
his hand
<03027>_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
the knife
<03979>
to slay
<07819> (8800)
his son
<01121>_.
And the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
called
<07121> (8799)
unto him out of heaven
<08064>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Abraham
<085>_,
Abraham
<085>_:
and he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Here [am] I.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Lay
<07971> (8799)
not thine hand
<03027>
upon
<0413>
the lad
<05288>_,
neither do thou
<06213> (8799)
any thing
<03972>
unto him: for now
<06258>
I know
<03045> (8804)
that thou fearest
<03373>
God
<0430>_,
seeing thou hast not
<03808>
withheld
<02820> (8804)
thy son
<01121>_,
thine only
<03173>
[son] from me.
And Abraham
<085>
lifted up
<05375> (8799)
his eyes
<05869>_,
and looked
<07200> (8799)_,
and behold behind
<0310>
[him] a ram
<0352>
caught
<0270> (8737)
in a thicket
<05442>
by his horns
<07161>_:
and Abraham
<085>
went
<03212> (8799)
and took
<03947> (8799)
the ram
<0352>_,
and offered him up
<05927> (8686)
for a burnt offering
<05930>
in the stead
<08478>
of his son
<01121>_.
And Abraham
<085>
called
<07121> (8799)
the name
<08034>
of that place
<04725>
Jehovahjireh
<03070>_:
as
<0834>
it is said
<0559> (8735)
[to] this day
<03117>_,
In the mount
<02022>
of the LORD
<03068>
it shall be seen
<07200> (8735)_.
{Jehovahjireh: that is, The Lord will see, or, provide}
And the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
called
<07121> (8799)
unto Abraham
<085>
out of heaven
<08064>
the second time
<08145>_,
And said
<0559> (8799)_,
By myself have I sworn
<07650> (8738)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
for because
<03282> <0834>
thou hast done
<06213> (8804)
this thing
<01697>_,
and hast not
<03808>
withheld
<02820> (8804)
thy son
<01121>_,
thine only
<03173>
[son]:
That in blessing
<01288> (8763)
I will bless
<01288> (8762)
thee, and in multiplying
<07235> (8687)
I will multiply
<07235> (8686)
thy seed
<02233>
as the stars
<03556>
of the heaven
<08064>_,
and as the sand
<02344>
which [is] upon the sea
<03220>
shore
<08193>_;
and thy seed
<02233>
shall possess
<03423> (8799)
the gate
<08179>
of his enemies
<0341> (8802)_;
{shore: Heb. lip}
And in thy seed
<02233>
shall all the nations
<01471>
of the earth
<0776>
be blessed
<01288> (8694)_;
because
<0834> <06118>
thou hast obeyed
<08085> (8804)
my voice
<06963>_.
So Abraham
<085>
returned
<07725> (8799)
unto his young men
<05288>_,
and they rose up
<06965> (8799)
and went
<03212> (8799)
together
<03162>
to Beersheba
<0884>_;
and Abraham
<085>
dwelt
<03427> (8799)
at Beersheba
<0884>_.
And it came to pass after
<0310>
these things
<01697>_,
that it was told
<05046> (8714)
Abraham
<085>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Behold, Milcah
<04435>_,
she hath also born
<03205> (8804)
children
<01121>
unto thy brother
<0251>
Nahor
<05152>_;
Huz
<05780>
his firstborn
<01060>_,
and Buz
<0938>
his brother
<0251>_,
and Kemuel
<07055>
the father
<01>
of Aram
<0758>_,
And Chesed
<03777>_,
and Hazo
<02375>_,
and Pildash
<06394>_,
and Jidlaph
<03044>_,
and Bethuel
<01328>_.
And Bethuel
<01328>
begat
<03205> (8804)
Rebekah
<07259>_:
these eight
<08083>
Milcah
<04435>
did bear
<03205> (8804)
to Nahor
<05152>_,
Abraham's
<085>
brother
<0251>_.
{Rebekah: Gr. Rebecca}
And his concubine
<06370>_,
whose name
<08034>
[was] Reumah
<07208>_,
she bare
<03205> (8799)
also Tebah
<02875>_,
and Gaham
<01514>_,
and Thahash
<08477>_,
and Maachah
<04601>_.
And Sarah
<08283>
was an hundred
<03967> <08141>
and seven
<07651> <08141>
and twenty
<06242>
years
<08141>
old
<02416>_:
[these were] the years
<08141>
of the life
<02416>
of Sarah
<08283>_.
And Sarah
<08283>
died
<04191> (8799)
in Kirjatharba
<07153>_;
the same [is] Hebron
<02275>
in the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_:
and Abraham
<085>
came
<0935> (8799)
to mourn
<05594> (8800)
for Sarah
<08283>_,
and to weep
<01058> (8800)
for her.
And Abraham
<085>
stood up
<06965> (8799)
from before
<06440>
his dead
<04191> (8801)_,
and spake
<01696> (8762)
unto the sons
<01121>
of Heth
<02845>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
I [am] a stranger
<01616>
and a sojourner
<08453>
with you: give
<05414> (8798)
me a possession
<0272>
of a buryingplace
<06913>
with you, that I may bury
<06912> (8799)
my dead
<04191> (8801)
out of my sight
<06440>_.
And the children
<01121>
of Heth
<02845>
answered
<06030> (8799)
Abraham
<085>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)
unto him,
Hear us
<08085> (8798)_,
my lord
<0113>_:
thou [art] a mighty
<0430>
prince
<05387>
among us
<08432>_:
in the choice
<04005>
of our sepulchres
<06913>
bury
<06912> (8798)
thy dead
<04191> (8801)_;
none
<03808> <0376>
of us shall withhold
<03607> (8799)
from thee his sepulchre
<06913>_,
but that thou mayest bury
<06912> (8800)
thy dead
<04191> (8801)_.
{a mighty...: Heb. a prince of God}
And Abraham
<085>
stood up
<06965> (8799)_,
and bowed
<07812> (8691)
himself to the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>_,
[even] to the children
<01121>
of Heth
<02845>_.
And he communed
<01696> (8762)
with them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
If it be
<03426>
your mind
<05315>
that I should bury
<06912> (8800)
my dead
<04191> (8801)
out of my sight
<06440>_;
hear
<08085> (8798)
me, and intreat
<06293> (8798)
for me to Ephron
<06085>
the son
<01121>
of Zohar
<06714>_,
That he may give
<05414> (8799)
me the cave
<04631>
of Machpelah
<04375>_,
which he hath, which [is] in the end
<07097>
of his field
<07704>_;
for as much
<04392> (0)
money
<03701>
as it is worth
<04392>
he shall give it
<05414> (8799)
me for a possession
<0272>
of a buryingplace
<06913>
amongst you
<08432>_.
{as much...: Heb. full money}
And Ephron
<06085>
dwelt
<03427> (8802)
among
<08432>
the children
<01121>
of Heth
<02845>_:
and Ephron
<06085>
the Hittite
<02850>
answered
<06030> (8799)
Abraham
<085>
in the audience
<0241>
of the children
<01121>
of Heth
<02845>_,
[even] of all that went in
<0935> (8802)
at the gate
<08179>
of his city
<05892>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
{audience: Heb. ears}
Nay
<03808>_,
my lord
<0113>_,
hear me
<08085> (8798)_:
the field
<07704>
give I
<05414> (8804)
thee, and the cave
<04631>
that [is] therein, I give it
<05414> (8804)
thee; in the presence
<05869>
of the sons
<01121>
of my people
<05971>
give
<05414> (8804)
I it thee: bury
<06912> (8798)
thy dead
<04191> (8801)_.
And Abraham
<085>
bowed down
<07812> (8691)
himself before
<06440>
the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>_.
And he spake
<01696> (8762)
unto Ephron
<06085>
in the audience
<0241>
of the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
But if thou [wilt give it], I pray thee
<03863>_,
hear
<08085> (8798)
me: I will give
<05414> (8804)
thee money
<03701>
for the field
<07704>_;
take
<03947> (8798)
[it] of me, and I will bury
<06912> (8799)
my dead
<04191> (8801)
there.
And Ephron
<06085>
answered
<06030> (8799)
Abraham
<085>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)
unto him,
My lord
<0113>_,
hearken
<08085> (8798)
unto me: the land
<0776>
[is worth] four
<0702>
hundred
<03967>
shekels
<08255>
of silver
<03701>_;
what [is] that betwixt
<0996>
me and thee? bury
<06912> (8798)
therefore thy dead
<04191> (8801)_.
And Abraham
<085>
hearkened
<08085> (8799)
unto Ephron
<06085>_;
and Abraham
<085>
weighed
<08254> (8799)
to Ephron
<06085>
the silver
<03701>_,
which he had named
<01696> (8765)
in the audience
<0241>
of the sons
<01121>
of Heth
<02845>_,
four
<0702>
hundred
<03967>
shekels
<08255>
of silver
<03701>_,
current
<05674> (8802)
[money] with the merchant
<05503> (8802)_.
And the field
<07704>
of Ephron
<06085>_,
which [was] in Machpelah
<04375>_,
which [was] before
<06440>
Mamre
<04471>_,
the field
<07704>_,
and the cave
<04631>
which [was] therein, and all the trees
<06086>
that [were] in the field
<07704>_,
that [were] in all the borders
<01366>
round about
<05439>_,
were made sure
<06965> (8799)
Unto Abraham
<085>
for a possession
<04736>
in the presence
<05869>
of the children
<01121>
of Heth
<02845>_,
before all that went in
<0935> (8802)
at the gate
<08179>
of his city
<05892>_.
And after
<0310>
this
<03651>_,
Abraham
<085>
buried
<06912> (8804)
Sarah
<08283>
his wife
<0802>
in the cave
<04631>
of the field
<07704>
of Machpelah
<04375>
before
<06440>
Mamre
<04471>_:
the same [is] Hebron
<02275>
in the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_.
And the field
<07704>_,
and the cave
<04631>
that [is] therein, were made sure
<06965> (8799)
unto Abraham
<085>
for a possession
<0272>
of a buryingplace
<06913>
by the sons
<01121>
of Heth
<02845>_.
And Abraham
<085>
was old
<02204> (8804)_,
[and] well stricken
<0935> (8804)
in age
<03117>_:
and the LORD
<03068>
had blessed
<01288> (8765)
Abraham
<085>
in all things. {well...: Heb. gone into days}
And Abraham
<085>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his eldest
<02205>
servant
<05650>
of his house
<01004>_,
that ruled over
<04910> (8802)
all that he had, Put
<07760> (8798)_,
I pray thee, thy hand
<03027>
under my thigh
<03409>_:
And I will make thee swear
<07650> (8686)
by the LORD
<03068>_,
the God
<0430>
of heaven
<08064>_,
and the God
<0430>
of the earth
<0776>_,
that thou shalt not take
<03947> (8799)
a wife
<0802>
unto my son
<01121>
of the daughters
<01323>
of the Canaanites
<03669>_,
among
<07130>
whom I dwell
<03427> (8802)_:
But thou shalt go
<03212> (8799)
unto my country
<0776>_,
and to my kindred
<04138>_,
and take
<03947> (8804)
a wife
<0802>
unto my son
<01121>
Isaac
<03327>_.
And the servant
<05650>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Peradventure the woman
<0802>
will not be willing
<014> (8799)
to follow
<03212> (8800)
me
<0310>
unto this land
<0776>_:
must I needs bring
<07725> (8687)
thy son
<01121>
again
<07725> (8686)
unto the land
<0776>
from whence thou camest
<03318> (8804)_?
And Abraham
<085>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Beware
<08104> (8734)
thou that thou bring
<07725> (0)
not
<06435>
my son
<01121>
thither again
<07725> (8686)_.
The LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of heaven
<08064>_,
which took me
<03947> (8804)
from my father's
<01>
house
<01004>_,
and from the land
<0776>
of my kindred
<04138>_,
and which spake
<01696> (8765)
unto me, and that sware
<07650> (8738)
unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Unto thy seed
<02233>
will I give
<05414> (8799)
this land
<0776>_;
he shall send
<07971> (8799)
his angel
<04397>
before thee
<06440>_,
and thou shalt take
<03947> (8804)
a wife
<0802>
unto my son
<01121>
from thence.
And if the woman
<0802>
will not be willing
<014> (8799)
to follow
<03212> (8800)
thee
<0310>_,
then thou shalt be clear
<05352> (8738)
from this my oath
<07621>_:
only bring
<07725> (0)
not my son
<01121>
thither again
<07725> (8686)_.
And the servant
<05650>
put
<07760> (8799)
his hand
<03027>
under the thigh
<03409>
of Abraham
<085>
his master
<0113>_,
and sware
<07650> (8735)
to him concerning
<05921>
that
<02088>
matter
<01697>_.
And the servant
<05650>
took
<03947> (8799)
ten
<06235>
camels
<01581>
of the camels
<01581>
of his master
<0113>_,
and departed
<03212> (8799)_;
for all the goods
<02898>
of his master
<0113>
[were] in his hand
<03027>_:
and he arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
to Mesopotamia
<0763>_,
unto the city
<05892>
of Nahor
<05152>_.
{for: or, and}
And he made
<01288> (0)
his camels
<01581>
to kneel down
<01288> (8686)
without
<02351>
the city
<05892>
by
<0413>
a well
<0875>
of water
<04325>
at the time
<06256>
of the evening
<06153>_,
[even] the time
<06256>
that women go out
<03318> (8800)
to draw
<07579> (8802)
[water]. {that...: Heb. that women who draw water go forth}
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
O LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of my master
<0113>
Abraham
<085>_,
I pray thee, send me
<06440>
good speed
<07136> (8685)
this day
<03117>_,
and shew
<06213> (8798)
kindness
<02617>
unto
<05973>
my master
<0113>
Abraham
<085>_.
Behold, I stand
<05324> (8737)
[here] by the well
<05869>
of water
<04325>_;
and the daughters
<01323>
of the men
<0582>
of the city
<05892>
come out
<03318> (8802)
to draw
<07579> (8800)
water
<04325>_:
And let it come to pass, that the damsel
<05291>
to whom I shall say
<0559> (8799)_,
Let down
<05186> (8685)
thy pitcher
<03537>_,
I pray thee, that I may drink
<08354> (8799)_;
and she shall say
<0559> (8804)_,
Drink
<08354> (8798)_,
and I will give
<08248> (0)
thy camels
<01581>
drink
<08248> (8686)
also: [let the same be] she [that] thou hast appointed
<03198> (8689)
for thy servant
<05650>
Isaac
<03327>_;
and thereby shall I know
<03045> (8799)
that thou hast shewed
<06213> (8804)
kindness
<02617>
unto my master
<0113>_.
And it came to pass, before he had done
<03615> (8765)
speaking
<01696> (8763)_,
that, behold, Rebekah
<07259>
came out
<03318> (8802)_,
who
<0834>
was born
<03205> (8795)
to Bethuel
<01328>_,
son
<01121>
of Milcah
<04435>_,
the wife
<0802>
of Nahor
<05152>_,
Abraham's
<085>
brother
<0251>_,
with her pitcher
<03537>
upon her shoulder
<07926>_.
And the damsel
<05291>
[was] very
<03966>
fair
<02896>
to look upon
<04758>_,
a virgin
<01330>_,
neither had any man
<0376>
known
<03045> (8804)
her: and she went down
<03381> (8799)
to the well
<05869>_,
and filled
<04390> (8762)
her pitcher
<03537>_,
and came up
<05927> (8799)_.
{very...: Heb. good of countenance}
And the servant
<05650>
ran
<07323> (8799)
to meet her
<07125> (8800)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let me, I pray thee, drink
<01572> (8685)
a little
<04592>
water
<04325>
of thy pitcher
<03537>_.
And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
Drink
<08354> (8798)_,
my lord
<0113>_:
and she hasted
<04116> (8762)_,
and let down
<03381> (8686)
her pitcher
<03537>
upon her hand
<03027>_,
and gave him drink
<08248> (8686)_.
And when she had done
<03615> (8762)
giving him drink
<08248> (8687)_,
she said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will draw
<07579> (8799)
[water] for thy camels
<01581>
also, until they have done
<03615> (8765)
drinking
<08354> (8800)_.
And she hasted
<04116> (8762)_,
and emptied
<06168> (8762)
her pitcher
<03537>
into the trough
<08268>_,
and ran
<07323> (8799)
again unto the well
<0875>
to draw
<07579> (8800)
[water], and drew
<07579> (8799)
for all his camels
<01581>_.
And the man
<0376>
wondering
<07583> (8693)
at her held his peace
<02790> (8688)_,
to wit
<03045> (8800)
whether the LORD
<03068>
had made
<06743> (0)
his journey
<01870>
prosperous
<06743> (8689)
or
<0518>
not.
And it came to pass, as the camels
<01581>
had done
<03615> (8765)
drinking
<08354> (8800)_,
that the man
<0376>
took
<03947> (8799)
a golden
<02091>
earring
<05141>
of half a shekel
<01235>
weight
<04948>_,
and two
<08147>
bracelets
<06781>
for her hands
<03027>
of ten
<06235>
[shekels] weight
<04948>
of gold
<02091>_;
{earring: or, jewel for the forehead}
And said
<0559> (8799)_,
Whose
<04310>
daughter
<01323>
[art] thou
<0859>_?
tell
<05046> (8685)
me, I pray thee: is there
<03426>
room
<04725>
[in] thy father's
<01>
house
<01004>
for us to lodge in
<03885> (8800)_?
And she said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, I [am] the daughter
<01323>
of Bethuel
<01328>
the son
<01121>
of Milcah
<04435>_,
which she bare
<03205> (8804)
unto Nahor
<05152>_.
She said
<0559> (8799)
moreover unto him, We have both
<01571>
straw
<08401>
and provender
<04554>
enough
<07227>_,
and
<01571>
room
<04725>
to lodge in
<03885> (8800)_.
And the man
<0376>
bowed down his head
<06915> (8799)_,
and worshipped
<07812> (8691)
the LORD
<03068>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Blessed
<01288> (8803)
[be] the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of my master
<0113>
Abraham
<085>_,
who hath not left destitute
<05800> (8804) <05973>
my master
<0113>
of his mercy
<02617>
and his truth
<0571>_:
I [being] in the way
<01870>_,
the LORD
<03068>
led me
<05148> (8804)
to the house
<01004>
of my master's
<0113>
brethren
<0251>_.
And the damsel
<05291>
ran
<07323> (8799)_,
and told
<05046> (8686)
[them of] her mother's
<0517>
house
<01004>
these things
<01697>_.
And Rebekah
<07259>
had a brother
<0251>_,
and his name
<08034>
[was] Laban
<03837>_:
and Laban
<03837>
ran
<07323> (8799)
out
<02351>
unto the man
<0376>_,
unto the well
<05869>_.
And it came to pass, when he saw
<07200> (8800)
the earring
<05141>
and bracelets
<06781>
upon his sister's
<0269>
hands
<03027>_,
and when he heard
<08085> (8800)
the words
<01697>
of Rebekah
<07259>
his sister
<0269>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus
<03541>
spake
<01696> (8765)
the man
<0376>
unto me; that he came
<0935> (8799)
unto the man
<0376>_;
and, behold, he stood
<05975> (8802)
by
<05921>
the camels
<01581>
at the well
<05869>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Come in
<0935> (8798)_,
thou blessed
<01288> (8803)
of the LORD
<03068>_;
wherefore standest
<05975> (8799)
thou without
<02351>_?
for I have prepared
<06437> (8765)
the house
<01004>_,
and room
<04725>
for the camels
<01581>_.
And the man
<0376>
came
<0935> (8799)
into the house
<01004>_:
and he ungirded
<06605> (8762)
his camels
<01581>_,
and gave
<05414> (8799)
straw
<08401>
and provender
<04554>
for the camels
<01581>_,
and water
<04325>
to wash
<07364> (8800)
his feet
<07272>_,
and the men's
<0582>
feet
<07272>
that [were] with him.
And there was set
<07760> (8714) (8675) <03455> (8799)
[meat] before him
<06440>
to eat
<0398> (8800)_:
but he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will not eat
<0398> (8799)_,
until I have told
<01696> (8765)
mine errand
<01697>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Speak on
<01696> (8761)_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I [am] Abraham's
<085>
servant
<05650>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
hath blessed
<01288> (8765)
my master
<0113>
greatly
<03966>_;
and he is become great
<01431> (8799)_:
and he hath given
<05414> (8799)
him flocks
<06629>_,
and herds
<01241>_,
and silver
<03701>_,
and gold
<02091>_,
and menservants
<05650>_,
and maidservants
<08198>_,
and camels
<01581>_,
and asses
<02543>_.
And Sarah
<08283>
my master's
<0113>
wife
<0802>
bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>
to my master
<0113>
when
<0310>
she was old
<02209>_:
and unto him hath he given
<05414> (8799)
all that he hath.
And my master
<0113>
made me swear
<07650> (8686)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thou shalt not take
<03947> (8799)
a wife
<0802>
to my son
<01121>
of the daughters
<01323>
of the Canaanites
<03669>_,
in whose land
<0776>
I dwell
<03427> (8802)_:
But
<0518>
thou shalt go
<03212> (8799)
unto my father's
<01>
house
<01004>_,
and to my kindred
<04940>_,
and take
<03947> (8804)
a wife
<0802>
unto my son
<01121>_.
And I said
<0559> (8799)
unto my master
<0113>_,
Peradventure the woman
<0802>
will not follow
<03212> (8799) <0310>
me.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, The LORD
<03068>_,
before
<06440>
whom I walk
<01980> (8694)_,
will send
<07971> (8799)
his angel
<04397>
with thee, and prosper
<06743> (8689)
thy way
<01870>_;
and thou shalt take
<03947> (8804)
a wife
<0802>
for my son
<01121>
of my kindred
<04940>_,
and of my father's
<01>
house
<01004>_:
Then shalt thou be clear
<05352> (8735)
from [this] my oath
<0423>_,
when thou comest
<0935> (8799)
to my kindred
<04940>_;
and if they give
<05414> (8799)
not thee [one], thou shalt be clear
<05355>
from my oath
<0423>_.
And I came
<0935> (8799)
this day
<03117>
unto the well
<05869>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
O LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of my master
<0113>
Abraham
<085>_,
if now thou do
<03426>
prosper
<06743> (8688)
my way
<01870>
which I go
<01980> (8802)_:
Behold, I stand
<05324> (8737)
by the well
<05869>
of water
<04325>_;
and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin
<05959>
cometh forth
<03318> (8802)
to draw
<07579> (8800)
[water], and I say
<0559> (8804)
to her, Give me
<08248> (0)_,
I pray thee, a little
<04592>
water
<04325>
of thy pitcher
<03537>
to drink
<08248> (8685)_;
And she say
<0559> (8804)
to me, Both drink
<08354> (8798)
thou, and I will also draw
<07579> (8799)
for thy camels
<01581>_:
[let] the same [be] the woman
<0802>
whom the LORD
<03068>
hath appointed out
<03198> (8689)
for my master's
<0113>
son
<01121>_.
And before I had done
<03615> (8762)
speaking
<01696> (8763)
in mine heart
<03820>_,
behold, Rebekah
<07259>
came forth
<03318> (8802)
with her pitcher
<03537>
on her shoulder
<07926>_;
and she went down
<03381> (8799)
unto the well
<05869>_,
and drew
<07579> (8799)
[water]: and I said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, Let me drink
<08248> (8685)_,
I pray thee.
And she made haste
<04116> (8762)_,
and let down
<03381> (8686)
her pitcher
<03537>
from her [shoulder], and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Drink
<08354> (8798)_,
and I will give
<08248> (0)
thy camels
<01581>
drink
<08248> (8686)
also: so I drank
<08354> (8799)_,
and she made
<08248> (0)
the camels
<01581>
drink
<08248> (8689)
also.
And I asked
<07592> (8799)
her, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Whose daughter
<01323>
[art] thou? And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
The daughter
<01323>
of Bethuel
<01328>_,
Nahor's
<05152>
son
<01121>_,
whom Milcah
<04435>
bare
<03205> (8804)
unto him: and I put
<07760> (8799)
the earring
<05141>
upon her face
<0639>_,
and the bracelets
<06781>
upon her hands
<03027>_.
And I bowed down my head
<06915> (8799)_,
and worshipped
<07812> (8691)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and blessed
<01288> (8762)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of my master
<0113>
Abraham
<085>_,
which had led me
<05148> (8689)
in the right
<0571>
way
<01870>
to take
<03947> (8800)
my master's
<0113>
brother's
<0251>
daughter
<01323>
unto his son
<01121>_.
And now if ye will
<03426>
deal
<06213> (8802)
kindly
<02617>
and truly
<0571>
with my master
<0113>_,
tell
<05046> (8685)
me: and if not, tell
<05046> (8685)
me; that I may turn
<06437> (8799)
to the right hand
<03225>_,
or
<0176>
to the left
<08040>_.
Then Laban
<03837>
and Bethuel
<01328>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
The thing
<01697>
proceedeth
<03318> (8804)
from the LORD
<03068>_:
we cannot
<03201> (8799)
speak
<01696> (8763)
unto thee bad
<07451>
or
<0176>
good
<02896>_.
Behold, Rebekah
<07259>
[is] before thee
<06440>_,
take
<03947> (8798)
[her], and go
<03212> (8798)_,
and let her be thy master's
<0113>
son's
<01121>
wife
<0802>_,
as the LORD
<03068>
hath spoken
<01696> (8765)_.
And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's
<085>
servant
<05650>
heard
<08085> (8804)
their words
<01697>_,
he worshipped
<07812> (8691)
the LORD
<03068>_,
[bowing himself] to the earth
<0776>_.
And the servant
<05650>
brought forth
<03318> (8686)
jewels
<03627>
of silver
<03701>_,
and jewels
<03627>
of gold
<02091>_,
and raiment
<0899>_,
and gave
<05414> (8799)
[them] to Rebekah
<07259>_:
he gave
<05414> (8804)
also to her brother
<0251>
and to her mother
<0517>
precious things
<04030>_.
{jewels: Heb. vessels}
And they did eat
<0398> (8799)
and drink
<08354> (8799)_,
he and the men
<0582>
that [were] with him, and tarried all night
<03885> (8799)_;
and they rose up
<06965> (8799)
in the morning
<01242>_,
and he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Send me away
<07971> (8761)
unto my master
<0113>_.
And her brother
<0251>
and her mother
<0517>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let the damsel
<05291>
abide
<03427> (8799)
with us [a few] days
<03117>_,
at the least
<0176>
ten
<06218>_;
after
<0310>
that she shall go
<03212> (8799)_.
{a few...: or, a full year, or ten months}
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Hinder me
<0309> (8762)
not, seeing the LORD
<03068>
hath prospered
<06743> (8689)
my way
<01870>_;
send me away
<07971> (8761)
that I may go
<03212> (8799)
to my master
<0113>_.
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
We will call
<07121> (8799)
the damsel
<05291>_,
and enquire
<07592> (8799)
at her mouth
<06310>_.
And they called
<07121> (8799)
Rebekah
<07259>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, Wilt thou go
<03212> (8799)
with this man
<0376>_?
And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will go
<03212> (8799)_.
And they sent away
<07971> (8762)
Rebekah
<07259>
their sister
<0269>_,
and her nurse
<03243> (8688)_,
and Abraham's
<085>
servant
<05650>_,
and his men
<0582>_.
And they blessed
<01288> (8762)
Rebekah
<07259>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, Thou
<0859>
[art] our sister
<0269>_,
be thou
<01961> (8798)
[the mother] of thousands
<0505>
of millions
<07233>_,
and let thy seed
<02233>
possess
<03423> (8799)
the gate
<08179>
of those which hate
<08130> (8802)
them.
And Rebekah
<07259>
arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and her damsels
<05291>_,
and they rode
<07392> (8799)
upon the camels
<01581>_,
and followed
<03212> (8799) <0310>
the man
<0376>_:
and the servant
<05650>
took
<03947> (8799)
Rebekah
<07259>_,
and went his way
<03212> (8799)_.
And Isaac
<03327>
came
<0935> (8804)
from the way
<0935> (8800)
of the well Lahairoi
<0883>_;
for he dwelt
<03427> (8802)
in the south
<05045>
country
<0776>_.
And Isaac
<03327>
went out
<03318> (8799)
to meditate
<07742> (8800)
in the field
<07704>
at
<06437> (8800)
the eventide
<06153>_:
and he lifted up
<05375> (8799)
his eyes
<05869>_,
and saw
<07200> (8799)_,
and, behold, the camels
<01581>
[were] coming
<0935> (8802)_.
{to meditate: or, to pray}
And Rebekah
<07259>
lifted up
<05375> (8799)
her eyes
<05869>_,
and when she saw
<07200> (8799)
Isaac
<03327>_,
she lighted
<05307> (8799)
off
<05921>
the camel
<01581>_.
For she [had] said
<0559> (8799)
unto the servant
<05650>_,
What
<04310>
man
<0376>
[is] this
<01976>
that walketh
<01980> (8802)
in the field
<07704>
to meet us
<07125> (8800)_?
And the servant
<05650>
[had] said
<0559> (8799)_,
It [is] my master
<0113>_:
therefore she took
<03947> (8799)
a vail
<06809>_,
and covered herself
<03680> (8691)_.
And the servant
<05650>
told
<05608> (8762)
Isaac
<03327>
all things
<01697>
that he had done
<06213> (8804)_.
And Isaac
<03327>
brought her
<0935> (8686)
into his mother
<0517>
Sarah's
<08283>
tent
<0168>_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
Rebekah
<07259>_,
and she became his wife
<0802>_;
and he loved
<0157> (8799)
her: and Isaac
<03327>
was comforted
<05162> (8735)
after
<0310>
his mother's
<0517>
[death].
Then again
<03254> (8686)
Abraham
<085>
took
<03947> (8799)
a wife
<0802>_,
and her name
<08034>
[was] Keturah
<06989>_.
And she bare
<03205> (8799)
him Zimran
<02175>_,
and Jokshan
<03370>_,
and Medan
<04091>_,
and Midian
<04080>_,
and Ishbak
<03435>_,
and Shuah
<07744>_.
And Jokshan
<03370>
begat
<03205> (8804)
Sheba
<07614>_,
and Dedan
<01719>_.
And the sons
<01121>
of Dedan
<01719>
were Asshurim
<0805>_,
and Letushim
<03912>_,
and Leummim
<03817>_.
And the sons
<01121>
of Midian
<04080>_;
Ephah
<05891>_,
and Epher
<06081>_,
and Hanoch
<02585>_,
and Abida
<028>_,
and Eldaah
<0420>_.
All these [were] the children
<01121>
of Keturah
<06989>_.
And Abraham
<085>
gave
<05414> (8799)
all that he had unto Isaac
<03327>_.
But unto the sons
<01121>
of the concubines
<06370>_,
which Abraham
<085>
had, Abraham
<085>
gave
<05414> (8804)
gifts
<04979>_,
and sent them away
<07971> (8762)
from Isaac
<03327>
his son
<01121>_,
while he yet lived
<02416>_,
eastward
<06924>_,
unto the east
<06924>
country
<0776>_.
And these [are] the days
<03117>
of the years
<08141>
of Abraham's
<085>
life
<02416>
which he lived
<02425> (8804)_,
an hundred
<03967> <08141>
threescore and fifteen
<07657> <08141> <02568>
years
<08141>_.
Then Abraham
<085>
gave up the ghost
<01478> (8799)_,
and died
<04191> (8799)
in a good
<02896>
old age
<07872>_,
an old man
<02205>_,
and full
<07649>
[of years]; and was gathered
<0622> (8735)
to his people
<05971>_.
And his sons
<01121>
Isaac
<03327>
and Ishmael
<03458>
buried
<06912> (8799)
him in the cave
<04631>
of Machpelah
<04375>_,
in the field
<07704>
of Ephron
<06085>
the son
<01121>
of Zohar
<06714>
the Hittite
<02850>_,
which [is] before
<06440>
Mamre
<04471>_;
The field
<07704>
which Abraham
<085>
purchased
<07069> (8804)
of the sons
<01121>
of Heth
<02845>_:
there was Abraham
<085>
buried
<06912> (8795)_,
and Sarah
<08283>
his wife
<0802>_.
And it came to pass after
<0310>
the death
<04194>
of Abraham
<085>_,
that God
<0430>
blessed
<01288> (8762)
his son
<01121>
Isaac
<03327>_;
and Isaac
<03327>
dwelt
<03427> (8799)
by
<05973>
the well Lahairoi
<0883>_.
Now these [are] the generations
<08435>
of Ishmael
<03458>_,
Abraham's
<085>
son
<01121>_,
whom Hagar
<01904>
the Egyptian
<04713>_,
Sarah's
<08283>
handmaid
<08198>_,
bare
<03205> (8804)
unto Abraham
<085>_:
And these [are] the names
<08034>
of the sons
<01121>
of Ishmael
<03458>_,
by their names
<08034>_,
according to their generations
<08435>_:
the firstborn
<01060>
of Ishmael
<03458>_,
Nebajoth
<05032>_;
and Kedar
<06938>_,
and Adbeel
<0110>_,
and Mibsam
<04017>_,
And Mishma
<04927>_,
and Dumah
<01746>_,
and Massa
<04854>_,
Hadar
<02316>_,
and Tema
<08485>_,
Jetur
<03195>_,
Naphish
<05305>_,
and Kedemah
<06929>_:
{Hadar: or, Hadad}
These [are] the sons
<01121>
of Ishmael
<03458>_,
and these [are] their names
<08034>_,
by their towns
<02691>_,
and by their castles
<02918>_;
twelve
<08147> <06240>
princes
<05387>
according to their nations
<0523>_.
And these [are] the years
<08141>
of the life
<02416>
of Ishmael
<03458>_,
an hundred
<03967> <08141>
and thirty
<07970> <08141>
and seven
<07651>
years
<08141>_:
and he gave up the ghost
<01478> (8799)
and died
<04191> (8799)_;
and was gathered
<0622> (8735)
unto his people
<05971>_.
And they dwelt
<07931> (8799)
from Havilah
<02341>
unto Shur
<07793>_,
that [is] before
<06440>
Egypt
<04714>_,
as thou goest
<0935> (8800)
toward Assyria
<0804>_:
[and] he died
<05307> (8804)
in the presence
<06440>
of all his brethren
<0251>_.
{died: Heb. fell}
And these [are] the generations
<08435>
of Isaac
<03327>_,
Abraham's
<085>
son
<01121>_:
Abraham
<085>
begat
<03205> (8689)
Isaac
<03327>_:
And Isaac
<03327>
was forty
<0705>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he took
<03947> (8800)
Rebekah
<07259>
to wife
<0802>_,
the daughter
<01323>
of Bethuel
<01328>
the Syrian
<0761>
of Padanaram
<06307>_,
the sister
<0269>
to Laban
<03837>
the Syrian
<0761>_.
And Isaac
<03327>
intreated
<06279> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>
for
<05227>
his wife
<0802>_,
because she [was] barren
<06135>_:
and the LORD
<03068>
was intreated
<06279> (8735)
of him, and Rebekah
<07259>
his wife
<0802>
conceived
<02029> (8799)_.
And the children
<01121>
struggled together
<07533> (8704)
within her
<07130>_;
and she said
<0559> (8799)_,
If [it be] so, why [am] I thus
<02088>_?
And she went
<03212> (8799)
to enquire
<01875> (8800)
of the LORD
<03068>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, Two
<08147>
nations
<01471>
[are] in thy womb
<0990>_,
and two manner
<08147>
of people
<03816>
shall be separated
<06504> (8735)
from thy bowels
<04578>_;
and [the one] people
<03816>
shall be stronger
<0553> (8799)
than [the other] people
<03816>_;
and the elder
<07227>
shall serve
<05647> (8799)
the younger
<06810>_.
And when her days
<03117>
to be delivered
<03205> (8800)
were fulfilled
<04390> (8799)_,
behold, [there were] twins
<08380>
in her womb
<0990>_.
And the first
<07223>
came out
<03318> (8799)
red
<0132>_,
all over like an hairy
<08181>
garment
<0155>_;
and they called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Esau
<06215>_.
And after
<0310>
that came
<03318> (0)
his brother
<0251>
out
<03318> (8804)_,
and his hand
<03027>
took hold
<0270> (8802)
on Esau's
<06215>
heel
<06119>_;
and his name
<08034>
was called
<07121> (8799)
Jacob
<03290>_:
and Isaac
<03327>
[was] threescore
<08346>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when she bare
<03205> (8800)
them.
And the boys
<05288>
grew
<01431> (8799)_:
and Esau
<06215>
was a cunning
<03045> (8802)
hunter
<06718>_,
a man
<0376>
of the field
<07704>_;
and Jacob
<03290>
[was] a plain
<08535>
man
<0376>_,
dwelling
<03427> (8802)
in tents
<0168>_.
And Isaac
<03327>
loved
<0157> (8799)
Esau
<06215>_,
because he did eat
<06310>
of [his] venison
<06718>_:
but Rebekah
<07259>
loved
<0157> (8802)
Jacob
<03290>_.
{he...: Heb. venison was in his mouth}
And Jacob
<03290>
sod
<02102> (8686)
pottage
<05138>_:
and Esau
<06215>
came
<0935> (8799)
from the field
<07704>_,
and he [was] faint
<05889>_:
And Esau
<06215>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Jacob
<03290>_,
Feed
<03938> (8685)
me, I pray thee, with
<04480>
that same
<0122>
red
<0122>
[pottage]; for I [am] faint
<05889>_:
therefore was his name
<08034>
called
<07121> (8804)
Edom
<0123>_.
{with...: Heb. with that red, with that red pottage} {Edom: that is Red}
And Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Sell
<04376> (8798)
me this day
<03117>
thy birthright
<01062>_.
And Esau
<06215>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, I [am] at the point
<01980> (8802)
to die
<04191> (8800)_:
and what profit shall this birthright
<01062>
do to me? {at...: Heb. going to die}
And Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Swear
<07650> (8734)
to me this day
<03117>_;
and he sware
<07650> (8735)
unto him: and he sold
<04376> (8799)
his birthright
<01062>
unto Jacob
<03290>_.
Then Jacob
<03290>
gave
<05414> (8804)
Esau
<06215>
bread
<03899>
and pottage
<05138>
of lentiles
<05742>_;
and he did eat
<0398> (8799)
and drink
<08354> (8799)_,
and rose up
<06965> (8799)_,
and went his way
<03212> (8799)_:
thus Esau
<06215>
despised
<0959> (8799)
[his] birthright
<01062>_.
And there was a famine
<07458>
in the land
<0776>_,
beside
<0905>
the first
<07223>
famine
<07458>
that was in the days
<03117>
of Abraham
<085>_.
And Isaac
<03327>
went
<03212> (8799)
unto Abimelech
<040>
king
<04428>
of the Philistines
<06430>
unto Gerar
<01642>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
appeared
<07200> (8735)
unto him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go not down
<03381> (8799)
into Egypt
<04714>_;
dwell
<07931> (8798)
in the land
<0776>
which I shall tell
<0559> (8799)
thee of:
Sojourn
<01481> (8798)
in this land
<0776>_,
and I will be with thee, and will bless
<01288> (8762)
thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed
<02233>_,
I will give
<05414> (8799)
all these
<0411>
countries
<0776>_,
and I will perform
<06965> (8689)
the oath
<07621>
which I sware
<07650> (8738)
unto Abraham
<085>
thy father
<01>_;
And I will make
<07235> (0)
thy seed
<02233>
to multiply
<07235> (8689)
as the stars
<03556>
of heaven
<08064>_,
and will give
<05414> (8804)
unto thy seed
<02233>
all these
<0411>
countries
<0776>_;
and in thy seed
<02233>
shall all the nations
<01471>
of the earth
<0776>
be blessed
<01288> (8694)_;
Because
<06118>
that Abraham
<085>
obeyed
<08085> (8804)
my voice
<06963>_,
and kept
<08104> (8799)
my charge
<04931>_,
my commandments
<04687>_,
my statutes
<02708>_,
and my laws
<08451>_.
And Isaac
<03327>
dwelt
<03427> (8799)
in Gerar
<01642>_:
And the men
<0582>
of the place
<04725>
asked
<07592> (8799)
[him] of his wife
<0802>_;
and he said
<0559> (8799)_,
She [is] my sister
<0269>_:
for he feared
<03372> (8804)
to say
<0559> (8800)_,
[She is] my wife
<0802>_;
lest, [said he], the men
<0582>
of the place
<04725>
should kill
<02026> (8799)
me for Rebekah
<07259>_;
because she [was] fair
<02896>
to look upon
<04758>_.
And it came to pass, when he had been there a long
<0748> (8804)
time
<03117>_,
that Abimelech
<040>
king
<04428>
of the Philistines
<06430>
looked out
<08259> (8686)
at
<01157>
a window
<02474>_,
and saw
<07200> (8799)_,
and, behold, Isaac
<03327>
[was] sporting
<06711> (8764)
with Rebekah
<07259>
his wife
<0802>_.
And Abimelech
<040>
called
<07121> (8799)
Isaac
<03327>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, of a surety
<0389>
she [is] thy wife
<0802>_:
and how saidst
<0559> (8804)
thou, She [is] my sister
<0269>_?
And Isaac
<03327>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Because I said
<0559> (8804)_,
Lest I die
<04191> (8799)
for her.
And Abimelech
<040>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
What [is] this thou hast done
<06213> (8804)
unto us? one
<0259>
of the people
<05971>
might lightly
<04592>
have lien
<07901> (8804)
with thy wife
<0802>_,
and thou shouldest have brought
<0935> (8689)
guiltiness
<0817>
upon us.
And Abimelech
<040>
charged
<06680> (8762)
all [his] people
<05971>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
He that toucheth
<05060> (8802)
this man
<0376>
or his wife
<0802>
shall surely
<04191> (8800)
be put to death
<04191> (8714)_.
Then Isaac
<03327>
sowed
<02232> (8799)
in that land
<0776>_,
and received
<04672> (8799)
in the same year
<08141>
an hundredfold
<03967> <08180>_:
and the LORD
<03068>
blessed
<01288> (8762)
him. {received: Heb. found}
And the man
<0376>
waxed great
<01431> (8799)_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
forward
<01980> (8800)_,
and grew
<01432>
until he became
<01431> (0)
very
<03966>
great
<01431> (8804)_:
{went...: Heb. went going}
For he had possession
<04735>
of flocks
<06629>_,
and possession
<04735>
of herds
<01241>_,
and great store
<07227>
of servants
<05657>_:
and the Philistines
<06430>
envied
<07065> (8762)
him. {servants: or, husbandry}
For all the wells
<0875>
which his father's
<01>
servants
<05650>
had digged
<02658> (8804)
in the days
<03117>
of Abraham
<085>
his father
<01>_,
the Philistines
<06430>
had stopped
<05640> (8765)
them, and filled
<04390> (8762)
them with earth
<06083>_.
And Abimelech
<040>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Isaac
<03327>_,
Go
<03212> (8798)
from us; for thou art much
<03966>
mightier
<06105> (8804)
than we.
And Isaac
<03327>
departed
<03212> (8799)
thence, and pitched his tent
<02583> (8799)
in the valley
<05158>
of Gerar
<01642>_,
and dwelt
<03427> (8799)
there
<08033>_.
And Isaac
<03327>
digged
<02658> (8799)
again
<07725> (8799)
the wells
<0875>
of water
<04325>_,
which they had digged
<02658> (8804)
in the days
<03117>
of Abraham
<085>
his father
<01>_;
for the Philistines
<06430>
had stopped
<05640> (8762)
them after
<0310>
the death
<04194>
of Abraham
<085>_:
and he called
<07121> (8799)
their names
<08034>
after the names
<08034>
by which
<0834>
his father
<01>
had called
<07121> (8804)
them.
And Isaac's
<03327>
servants
<05650>
digged
<02658> (8799)
in the valley
<05158>_,
and found
<04672> (8799)
there a well
<0875>
of springing
<02416>
water
<04325>_.
{springing: Heb. living}
And the herdmen
<07462> (8802)
of Gerar
<01642>
did strive
<07378> (8799)
with Isaac's
<03327>
herdmen
<07462> (8802)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The water
<04325>
[is] ours: and he called
<07121> (8799)
the name
<08034>
of the well
<0875>
Esek
<06230>_;
because they strove
<06229> (8694)
with him. {Esek: that is, Contention}
And they digged
<02658> (8799)
another
<0312>
well
<0875>_,
and strove
<07378> (8799)
for that also: and he called
<07121> (8799)
the name of it
<08034>
Sitnah
<07856>_.
{Sitnah: that is, Hatred}
And he removed
<06275> (8686)
from thence, and digged
<02658> (8799)
another
<0312>
well
<0875>_;
and for that they strove
<07378> (8804)
not: and he called
<07121> (8799)
the name of it
<08034>
Rehoboth
<07344>_;
and he said
<0559> (8799)_,
For now
<06258>
the LORD
<03068>
hath made room
<07337> (8689)
for us, and we shall be fruitful
<06509> (8804)
in the land
<0776>_.
{Rehoboth: that is Room}
And he went up
<05927> (8799)
from thence to Beersheba
<0884>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
appeared
<07200> (8735)
unto him the same night
<03915>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
I [am] the God
<0430>
of Abraham
<085>
thy father
<01>_:
fear
<03372> (8799)
not, for I [am] with
<0854>
thee, and will bless
<01288> (8765)
thee, and multiply
<07235> (8689)
thy seed
<02233>
for my servant
<05650>
Abraham's
<085>
sake.
And he builded
<01129> (8799)
an altar
<04196>
there, and called
<07121> (8799)
upon the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and pitched
<05186> (8799)
his tent
<0168>
there: and there Isaac's
<03327>
servants
<05650>
digged
<03738> (8799)
a well
<0875>_.
Then Abimelech
<040>
went
<01980> (8804)
to him from Gerar
<01642>_,
and Ahuzzath
<0276>
one of his friends
<04828>_,
and Phichol
<06369>
the chief captain
<08269>
of his army
<06635>_.
And Isaac
<03327>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Wherefore
<04069>
come
<0935> (8804)
ye to me, seeing ye hate
<08130> (8804)
me, and have sent me away
<07971> (8762)
from you?
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
We saw
<07200> (8804)
certainly
<07200> (8800)
that the LORD
<03068>
was with thee: and we said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let there be now an oath
<0423>
betwixt
<0996>
us, [even] betwixt
<0996>
us and thee, and let us make
<03772> (8799)
a covenant
<01285>
with thee; {We saw...: Heb. Seeing we saw}
That thou wilt do
<06213> (8799)
us no hurt
<07451>_,
as we have not touched
<05060> (8804)
thee, and as we have done
<06213> (8804)
unto thee nothing but
<07535>
good
<02896>_,
and have sent thee away
<07971> (8762)
in peace
<07965>_:
thou [art] now
<06258>
the blessed
<01288> (8803)
of the LORD
<03068>_.
{That...: Heb. If thou shalt}
And he made
<06213> (8799)
them a feast
<04960>_,
and they did eat
<0398> (8799)
and drink
<08354> (8799)_.
And they rose up betimes
<07925> (8686)
in the morning
<01242>_,
and sware
<07650> (8735)
one
<0376>
to another
<0251>_:
and Isaac
<03327>
sent them away
<07971> (8762)_,
and they departed
<03212> (8799)
from him in peace
<07965>_.
And it came to pass the same day
<03117>_,
that Isaac's
<03327>
servants
<05650>
came
<0935> (8799)_,
and told
<05046> (8686)
him concerning
<0182>
the well
<0875>
which they had digged
<02658> (8804)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, We have found
<04672> (8804)
water
<04325>_.
And he called
<07121> (8799)
it Shebah
<07656>_:
therefore the name
<08034>
of the city
<05892>
[is] Beersheba
<0884>
unto this day
<03117>_.
{Shebah: That is, an oath} {Beersheba: that is, the well of the oath}
And Esau
<06215>
was forty
<0705>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he took
<03947> (8799)
to wife
<0802>
Judith
<03067>
the daughter
<01323>
of Beeri
<0882>
the Hittite
<02850>_,
and Bashemath
<01315>
the daughter
<01323>
of Elon
<0356>
the Hittite
<02850>_:
Which were a grief
<04786>
of mind
<07307>
unto Isaac
<03327>
and to Rebekah
<07259>_.
{a grief...: Heb. bitterness of spirit}
And it came to pass
<01961> (8799)_,
that when Isaac
<03327>
was old
<02204> (8804)_,
and his eyes
<05869>
were dim
<03543> (8799)_,
so that he could not see
<07200> (8800)_,
he called
<07121> (8799)
Esau
<06215>
his eldest
<01419>
son
<01121>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, My son
<01121>_:
and he said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Behold, [here am] I.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold now, I am old
<02204> (8804)_,
I know
<03045> (8804)
not the day
<03117>
of my death
<04194>_:
Now therefore take
<05375> (8798)_,
I pray thee, thy weapons
<03627>_,
thy quiver
<08522>
and thy bow
<07198>_,
and go out
<03318> (8798)
to the field
<07704>_,
and take
<06679> (8798)
me [some] venison
<06718> (8675) <06720>_;
{take: Heb. hunt}
And make
<06213> (8798)
me savoury meat
<04303>_,
such as
<0834>
I love
<0157> (8804)_,
and bring
<0935> (8685)
[it] to me, that I may eat
<0398> (8799)_;
that my soul
<05315>
may bless
<01288> (8762)
thee before
<02962>
I die
<04191> (8799)_.
And Rebekah
<07259>
heard
<08085> (8802)
when Isaac
<03327>
spake
<01696> (8763)
to Esau
<06215>
his son
<01121>_.
And Esau
<06215>
went
<03212> (8799)
to the field
<07704>
to hunt
<06679> (8800)
[for] venison
<06718>_,
[and] to bring
<0935> (8687)
[it].
And Rebekah
<07259>
spake
<0559> (8804)
unto Jacob
<03290>
her son
<01121>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Behold, I heard
<08085> (8804)
thy father
<01>
speak
<01696> (8764)
unto Esau
<06215>
thy brother
<0251>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Bring
<0935> (8685)
me venison
<06718>_,
and make
<06213> (8798)
me savoury meat
<04303>_,
that I may eat
<0398> (8799)_,
and bless
<01288> (8762)
thee before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>
before
<06440>
my death
<04194>_.
Now therefore, my son
<01121>_,
obey
<08085> (8798)
my voice
<06963>
according to that which
<0834>
I command
<06680> (8764)
thee.
Go
<03212> (8798)
now to the flock
<06629>_,
and fetch
<03947> (8798)
me from thence two
<08147>
good
<02896>
kids
<01423>
of the goats
<05795>_;
and I will make
<06213> (8799)
them savoury meat
<04303>
for thy father
<01>_,
such as he loveth
<0157> (8804)_:
And thou shalt bring
<0935> (8689)
[it] to thy father
<01>_,
that he may eat
<0398> (8804)_,
and that
<0834>
he may bless
<01288> (8762)
thee before
<06440>
his death
<04194>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Rebekah
<07259>
his mother
<0517>_,
Behold, Esau
<06215>
my brother
<0251>
[is] a hairy
<08163>
man
<0376>_,
and I [am] a smooth
<02509>
man
<0376>_:
My father
<01>
peradventure will feel
<04959> (8799)
me, and I shall seem
<05869>
to him as a deceiver
<08591> (8772)_;
and I shall bring
<0935> (8689)
a curse
<07045>
upon me, and not a blessing
<01293>_.
And his mother
<0517>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Upon me [be] thy curse
<07045>_,
my son
<01121>_:
only obey
<08085> (8798)
my voice
<06963>_,
and go
<03212> (8798)
fetch
<03947> (8798)
me [them].
And he went
<03212> (8799)_,
and fetched
<03947> (8799)_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
[them] to his mother
<0517>_:
and his mother
<0517>
made
<06213> (8799)
savoury meat
<04303>_,
such as his father
<01>
loved
<0157> (8804)_.
And Rebekah
<07259>
took
<03947> (8799)
goodly
<02532>
raiment
<0899>
of her eldest
<01419>
son
<01121>
Esau
<06215>_,
which [were] with her in the house
<01004>_,
and put them upon
<03847> (8686)
Jacob
<03290>
her younger
<06996>
son
<01121>_:
{goodly: Heb. desirable}
And she put
<03847> (8689)
the skins
<05785>
of the kids
<01423>
of the goats
<05795>
upon his hands
<03027>_,
and upon the smooth
<02513>
of his neck
<06677>_:
And she gave
<05414> (8799)
the savoury meat
<04303>
and the bread
<03899>_,
which she had prepared
<06213> (8804)_,
into the hand
<03027>
of her son
<01121>
Jacob
<03290>_.
And he came
<0935> (8799)
unto his father
<01>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
My father
<01>_:
and he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Here [am] I; who [art] thou, my son
<01121>_?
And Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his father
<01>_,
I [am] Esau
<06215>
thy firstborn
<01060>_;
I have done
<06213> (8804)
according as thou badest
<01696> (8765)
me: arise
<06965> (8798)_,
I pray thee, sit
<03427> (8798)
and eat
<0398> (8798)
of my venison
<06718>_,
that thy soul
<05315>
may bless
<01288> (8762)
me.
And Isaac
<03327>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his son
<01121>_,
How [is it] that thou hast found
<04672> (8800)
[it] so quickly
<04116> (8765)_,
my son
<01121>_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Because the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
brought
<07136> (8689)
[it] to me
<06440>_.
{to me: Heb. before me}
And Isaac
<03327>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jacob
<03290>_,
Come near
<05066> (8798)_,
I pray thee, that I may feel
<04184> (8799)
thee, my son
<01121>_,
whether thou [be] my very
<02088>
son
<01121>
Esau
<06215>
or not.
And Jacob
<03290>
went near
<05066> (8799)
unto Isaac
<03327>
his father
<01>_;
and he felt
<04959> (8799)
him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
The voice
<06963>
[is] Jacob's
<03290>
voice
<06963>_,
but the hands
<03027>
[are] the hands
<03027>
of Esau
<06215>_.
And he discerned
<05234> (8689)
him not, because his hands
<03027>
were hairy
<08163>_,
as his brother
<0251>
Esau's
<06215>
hands
<03027>_:
so he blessed
<01288> (8762)
him.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
[Art] thou my very son
<01121>
Esau
<06215>_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I [am].
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Bring [it] near
<05066> (8685)
to me, and I will eat
<0398> (8799)
of my son's
<01121>
venison
<06718>_,
that my soul
<05315>
may bless
<01288> (8762)
thee. And he brought [it] near
<05066> (8686)
to him, and he did eat
<0398> (8799)_:
and he brought
<0935> (8686)
him wine
<03196>_,
and he drank
<08354> (8799)_.
And his father
<01>
Isaac
<03327>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Come near
<05066> (8798)
now, and kiss
<05401> (8798)
me, my son
<01121>_.
And he came near
<05066> (8799)_,
and kissed
<05401> (8799)
him: and he smelled
<07306> (8686)
the smell
<07381>
of his raiment
<0899>_,
and blessed
<01288> (8762)
him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
See
<07200> (8798)_,
the smell
<07381>
of my son
<01121>
[is] as the smell
<07381>
of a field
<07704>
which the LORD
<03068>
hath blessed
<01288> (8765)_:
Therefore God
<0430>
give
<05414> (8799)
thee of the dew
<02919>
of heaven
<08064>_,
and the fatness
<04924>
of the earth
<0776>_,
and plenty
<07230>
of corn
<01715>
and wine
<08492>_:
Let people
<05971>
serve
<05647> (8799)
thee, and nations
<03816>
bow down
<07812> (8691)
to thee: be
<01933> (8798)
lord
<01376>
over thy brethren
<0251>_,
and let thy mother's
<0517>
sons
<01121>
bow down
<07812> (8691)
to thee: cursed
<0779> (8803)
[be] every one that curseth
<0779> (8802)
thee, and blessed
<01288> (8803)
[be] he that blesseth
<01288> (8764)
thee.
And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac
<03327>
had made an end
<03615> (8765)
of blessing
<01288> (8763)
Jacob
<03290>_,
and Jacob
<03290>
was yet
<0389>
scarce
<03318> (8800)
gone out
<03318> (8804)
from the presence
<06440>
of Isaac
<03327>
his father
<01>_,
that Esau
<06215>
his brother
<0251>
came in
<0935> (8804)
from his hunting
<06718>_.
And he also had made
<06213> (8799)
savoury meat
<04303>_,
and brought it
<0935> (8686)
unto his father
<01>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto his father
<01>_,
Let my father
<01>
arise
<06965> (8799)_,
and eat
<0398> (8799)
of his son's
<01121>
venison
<06718>_,
that thy soul
<05315>
may bless
<01288> (8762)
me.
And Isaac
<03327>
his father
<01>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Who [art] thou? And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I [am] thy son
<01121>_,
thy firstborn
<01060>
Esau
<06215>_.
And Isaac
<03327>
trembled
<02729> (8799)
very
<01419>
exceedingly
<03966> <02731>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Who? where
<0645>
[is] he that hath taken
<06679> (8801)
venison
<06718>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
[it] me, and I have eaten
<0398> (8799)
of all before thou camest
<0935> (8799)_,
and have blessed
<01288> (8762)
him? yea, [and] he shall be blessed
<01288> (8803)_.
{trembled...: Heb. trembled with a great trembling greatly} {taken: Heb. hunted}
And when Esau
<06215>
heard
<08085> (8800)
the words
<01697>
of his father
<01>_,
he cried
<06817> (8799)
with a great
<01419>
and exceeding
<03966>
bitter
<04751>
cry
<06818>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto his father
<01>_,
Bless
<01288> (8761)
me, [even] me also, O my father
<01>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thy brother
<0251>
came
<0935> (8804)
with subtilty
<04820>_,
and hath taken away
<03947> (8799)
thy blessing
<01293>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Is not he rightly
<03588>
named
<07121> (8804) <08034>
Jacob
<03290>_?
for he hath supplanted me
<06117> (8799)
these
<02088>
two times
<06471>_:
he took away
<03947> (8804)
my birthright
<01062>_;
and, behold, now he hath taken away
<03947> (8804)
my blessing
<01293>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Hast thou not reserved
<0680> (8804)
a blessing
<01293>
for me? {Jacob: that is, A supplanter}
And Isaac
<03327>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto Esau
<06215>_,
Behold, I have made
<07760> (8804)
him thy lord
<01376>_,
and all his brethren
<0251>
have I given
<05414> (8804)
to him for servants
<05650>_;
and with corn
<01715>
and wine
<08492>
have I sustained
<05564> (8804)
him: and what shall I do
<06213> (8799)
now
<0645>
unto thee, my son
<01121>_?
{sustained: or, supported}
And Esau
<06215>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his father
<01>_,
Hast thou but one
<0259>
blessing
<01293>_,
my father
<01>_?
bless
<01288> (8761)
me, [even] me also, O my father
<01>_.
And Esau
<06215>
lifted up
<05375> (8799)
his voice
<06963>_,
and wept
<01058> (8799)_.
And Isaac
<03327>
his father
<01>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Behold, thy dwelling
<04186>
shall be the fatness
<04924>
of the earth
<0776>_,
and of the dew
<02919>
of heaven
<08064>
from above
<05920>_;
{the fatness: or, of the fatness}
And by thy sword
<02719>
shalt thou live
<02421> (8799)_,
and shalt serve
<05647> (8799)
thy brother
<0251>_;
and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion
<07300> (8686)_,
that thou shalt break
<06561> (8804)
his yoke
<05923>
from off thy neck
<06677>_.
And Esau
<06215>
hated
<07852> (8799)
Jacob
<03290>
because
<05921>
of the blessing
<01293>
wherewith
<0834>
his father
<01>
blessed him
<01288> (8765)_:
and Esau
<06215>
said
<0559> (8799)
in his heart
<03820>_,
The days
<03117>
of mourning
<060>
for my father
<01>
are at hand
<07126> (8799)_;
then will I slay
<02026> (8799)
my brother
<0251>
Jacob
<03290>_.
And these words
<01697>
of Esau
<06215>
her elder
<01419>
son
<01121>
were told
<05046> (8714)
to Rebekah
<07259>_:
and she sent
<07971> (8799)
and called
<07121> (8799)
Jacob
<03290>
her younger
<06996>
son
<01121>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Behold, thy brother
<0251>
Esau
<06215>_,
as touching thee, doth comfort
<05162> (8693)
himself, [purposing] to kill
<02026> (8800)
thee.
Now therefore, my son
<01121>_,
obey
<08085> (8798)
my voice
<06963>_;
and arise
<06965> (8798)_,
flee
<01272> (8798)
thou to Laban
<03837>
my brother
<0251>
to Haran
<02771>_;
And tarry
<03427> (8804)
with him a few
<0259>
days
<03117>_,
until
<0834>
thy brother's
<0251>
fury
<02534>
turn away
<07725> (8799)_;
Until thy brother's
<0251>
anger
<0639>
turn away
<07725> (8800)
from thee, and he forget
<07911> (8804)
[that] which thou hast done
<06213> (8804)
to him: then I will send
<07971> (8804)_,
and fetch
<03947> (8804)
thee from thence: why
<04100>
should I be deprived
<07921> (8799)
also of you both
<08147>
in one
<0259>
day
<03117>_?
And Rebekah
<07259>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Isaac
<03327>_,
I am weary
<06973> (8804)
of my life
<02416>
because
<06440>
of the daughters
<01323>
of Heth
<02845>_:
if Jacob
<03290>
take
<03947> (8802)
a wife
<0802>
of the daughters
<01323>
of Heth
<02845>_,
such as these [which are] of the daughters
<01323>
of the land
<0776>_,
what good
<04100>
shall my life
<02416>
do me?
And Isaac
<03327>
called
<07121> (8799)
Jacob
<03290>_,
and blessed
<01288> (8762)
him, and charged
<06680> (8762)
him, and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Thou shalt not take
<03947> (8799)
a wife
<0802>
of the daughters
<01323>
of Canaan
<03667>_.
Arise
<06965> (8798)_,
go
<03212> (8798)
to Padanaram
<06307>_,
to the house
<01004>
of Bethuel
<01328>
thy mother's
<0517>
father
<01>_;
and take
<03947> (8798)
thee a wife
<0802>
from thence of the daughters
<01323>
of Laban
<03837>
thy mother's
<0517>
brother
<0251>_.
And God
<0410>
Almighty
<07706>
bless
<01288> (8762)
thee, and make thee fruitful
<06509> (8686)_,
and multiply
<07235> (8686)
thee, that thou mayest be a multitude
<06951>
of people
<05971>_;
{a multitude...: Heb. an assembly of people}
And give
<05414> (8799)
thee the blessing
<01293>
of Abraham
<085>_,
to thee, and to thy seed
<02233>
with thee; that thou mayest inherit
<03423> (8800)
the land
<0776>
wherein thou art a stranger
<04033>_,
which God
<0430>
gave
<05414> (8804)
unto Abraham
<085>_.
{wherein...: Heb. of thy sojournings}
And Isaac
<03327>
sent away
<07971> (8799)
Jacob
<03290>_:
and he went
<03212> (8799)
to Padanaram
<06307>
unto Laban
<03837>_,
son
<01121>
of Bethuel
<01328>
the Syrian
<0761>_,
the brother
<0251>
of Rebekah
<07259>_,
Jacob's
<03290>
and Esau's
<06215>
mother
<0517>_.
When Esau
<06215>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that Isaac
<03327>
had blessed
<01288> (8765)
Jacob
<03290>_,
and sent him away
<07971> (8765)
to Padanaram
<06307>_,
to take
<03947> (8800)
him a wife
<0802>
from thence; and that as he blessed
<01288> (8763)
him he gave him a charge
<06680> (8762)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thou shalt not take
<03947> (8799)
a wife
<0802>
of the daughters
<01323>
of Canaan
<03667>_;
And that Jacob
<03290>
obeyed
<08085> (8799)
his father
<01>
and his mother
<0517>_,
and was gone
<03212> (8799)
to Padanaram
<06307>_;
And Esau
<06215>
seeing
<07200> (8799)
that the daughters
<01323>
of Canaan
<03667>
pleased
<05869>
not
<07451>
Isaac
<03327>
his father
<01>_;
{pleased...: Heb. were evil in the eyes, etc}
Then went
<03212> (8799)
Esau
<06215>
unto Ishmael
<03458>_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
unto the wives
<0802>
which he had Mahalath
<04258>
the daughter
<01323>
of Ishmael
<03458>
Abraham's
<085>
son
<01121>_,
the sister
<0269>
of Nebajoth
<05032>_,
to be his wife
<0802>_.
{Mahalath: or, Bashemath}
And Jacob
<03290>
went out
<03318> (8799)
from Beersheba
<0884>_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
toward Haran
<02771>_.
{Haran: Gr. Charran}
And he lighted
<06293> (8799)
upon a certain place
<04725>_,
and tarried there all night
<03885> (8799)_,
because the sun
<08121>
was set
<0935> (8804)_;
and he took
<03947> (8799)
of the stones
<068>
of that place
<04725>_,
and put
<07760> (8799)
[them for] his pillows
<04763>_,
and lay down
<07901> (0)
in that place
<04725>
to sleep
<07901> (8799)_.
And he dreamed
<02492> (8799)_,
and behold a ladder
<05551>
set up
<05324> (8716)
on the earth
<0776>_,
and the top of it
<07218>
reached
<05060> (8688)
to heaven
<08064>_:
and behold the angels
<04397>
of God
<0430>
ascending
<05927> (8802)
and descending
<03381> (8802)
on it.
And, behold, the LORD
<03068>
stood
<05324> (8737)
above it, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
I [am] the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Abraham
<085>
thy father
<01>_,
and the God
<0430>
of Isaac
<03327>_:
the land
<0776>
whereon thou liest
<07901> (8802)_,
to thee will I give it
<05414> (8799)_,
and to thy seed
<02233>_;
And thy seed
<02233>
shall be as the dust
<06083>
of the earth
<0776>_,
and thou shalt spread abroad
<06555> (8804)
to the west
<03220>_,
and to the east
<06924>_,
and to the north
<06828>_,
and to the south
<05045>_:
and in thee and in thy seed
<02233>
shall all the families
<04940>
of the earth
<0127>
be blessed
<01288> (8738)_.
{spread...: Heb. break forth}
And, behold, I [am] with thee, and will keep
<08104> (8804)
thee in all [places] whither
<0834>
thou goest
<03212> (8799)_,
and will bring thee again
<07725> (8689)
into this land
<0127>_;
for I will not leave
<05800> (8799)
thee, until
<0834>
I have done
<06213> (8804)
[that] which I have spoken
<01696> (8765)
to thee of.
And Jacob
<03290>
awaked
<03364> (8799)
out of his sleep
<08142>_,
and he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Surely
<0403>
the LORD
<03068>
is
<03426>
in this place
<04725>_;
and I knew
<03045> (8804)
[it] not.
And he was afraid
<03372> (8799)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
How dreadful
<03372> (8737)
[is] this place
<04725>_!
this [is] none other but the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>_,
and this [is] the gate
<08179>
of heaven
<08064>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
rose up early
<07925> (8686)
in the morning
<01242>_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
the stone
<068>
that he had put
<07760> (8804)
[for] his pillows
<04763>_,
and set it up
<07760> (8799)
[for] a pillar
<04676>_,
and poured
<03332> (8799)
oil
<08081>
upon the top of it
<07218>_.
And he called
<07121> (8799)
the name
<08034>
of that place
<04725>
Bethel
<01008>_:
but
<0199>
the name
<08034>
of that city
<05892>
[was called] Luz
<03870>
at the first
<07223>_.
{Bethel: that is, The house of God}
And Jacob
<03290>
vowed
<05087> (8799)
a vow
<05088>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
If God
<0430>
will be with me, and will keep me
<08104> (8804)
in this way
<01870>
that I go
<01980> (8802)_,
and will give
<05414> (8804)
me bread
<03899>
to eat
<0398> (8800)_,
and raiment
<0899>
to put on
<03847> (8800)_,
So that I come again
<07725> (8804)
to my father's
<01>
house
<01004>
in peace
<07965>_;
then shall the LORD
<03068>
be my God
<0430>_:
And this stone
<068>_,
which I have set
<07760> (8804)
[for] a pillar
<04676>_,
shall be God's
<0430>
house
<01004>_:
and of all that thou shalt give
<05414> (8799)
me I will surely
<06237> (8763)
give the tenth
<06237> (8762)
unto thee.
Then Jacob
<03290>
went on
<05375> (8799)
his journey
<07272>_,
and came
<03212> (8799)
into the land
<0776>
of the people
<01121>
of the east
<06924>_.
{went...: Heb. lift up his feet} {people: Heb. children}
And he looked
<07200> (8799)_,
and behold a well
<0875>
in the field
<07704>_,
and, lo, there [were] three
<07969>
flocks
<05739>
of sheep
<06629>
lying
<07257> (8802)
by it; for out of that well
<0875>
they watered
<08248> (8686)
the flocks
<05739>_:
and a great
<01419>
stone
<068>
[was] upon the well's
<0875>
mouth
<06310>_.
And thither were all the flocks
<05739>
gathered
<0622> (8738)_:
and they rolled
<01556> (8804)
the stone
<068>
from the well's
<0875>
mouth
<06310>_,
and watered
<08248> (8689)
the sheep
<06629>_,
and put
<07725> (0)
the stone
<068>
again
<07725> (8689)
upon the well's
<0875>
mouth
<06310>
in his place
<04725>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, My brethren
<0251>_,
whence
<0370>
[be] ye? And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Of Haran
<02771>
[are] we.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Know
<03045> (8804)
ye Laban
<03837>
the son
<01121>
of Nahor
<05152>_?
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
We know
<03045> (8804)
[him].
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, [Is] he well
<07965>_?
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
[He is] well
<07965>_:
and, behold, Rachel
<07354>
his daughter
<01323>
cometh
<0935> (8802)
with the sheep
<06629>_.
{Is he...: Heb. Is there peace to him?}
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Lo
<02005>_,
[it is] yet high
<01419>
day
<03117>_,
neither [is it] time
<06256>
that the cattle
<04735>
should be gathered together
<0622> (8736)_:
water
<08248> (8685)
ye the sheep
<06629>_,
and go
<03212> (8798)
[and] feed
<07462> (8798)
[them]. {it is...: Heb. yet the day is great}
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
We cannot
<03201> (8799)_,
until all the flocks
<05739>
be gathered together
<0622> (8735)_,
and [till] they roll
<01556> (8804)
the stone
<068>
from the well's
<0875>
mouth
<06310>_;
then we water
<08248> (8689)
the sheep
<06629>_.
And while he yet
<05750>
spake
<01696> (8764)
with them, Rachel
<07354>
came
<0935> (8804)
with her father's
<01>
sheep
<06629>_:
for she kept them
<07462> (8802)_.
And it came to pass, when Jacob
<03290>
saw
<07200> (8804)
Rachel
<07354>
the daughter
<01323>
of Laban
<03837>
his mother's
<0517>
brother
<0251>_,
and the sheep
<06629>
of Laban
<03837>
his mother's
<0517>
brother
<0251>_,
that Jacob
<03290>
went near
<05066> (8799)_,
and rolled
<01556> (8686)
the stone
<068>
from the well's
<0875>
mouth
<06310>_,
and watered
<08248> (8686)
the flock
<06629>
of Laban
<03837>
his mother's
<0517>
brother
<0251>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
kissed
<05401> (8799)
Rachel
<07354>_,
and lifted up
<05375> (8799)
his voice
<06963>_,
and wept
<01058> (8799)_.
And Jacob
<03290>
told
<05046> (8686)
Rachel
<07354>
that he [was] her father's
<01>
brother
<0251>_,
and that he [was] Rebekah's
<07259>
son
<01121>_:
and she ran
<07323> (8799)
and told
<05046> (8686)
her father
<01>_.
And it came to pass, when Laban
<03837>
heard
<08085> (8800)
the tidings
<08088>
of Jacob
<03290>
his sister's
<0269>
son
<01121>_,
that he ran
<07323> (8799)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
him, and embraced
<02263> (8762)
him, and kissed
<05401> (8762)
him, and brought
<0935> (8686)
him to his house
<01004>_.
And he told
<05608> (8762)
Laban
<03837>
all these things
<01697>_.
{tidings: Heb. hearing}
And Laban
<03837>
said
<0559> (8799)
to him, Surely
<0389>
thou [art] my bone
<06106>
and my flesh
<01320>_.
And he abode
<03427> (8799)
with him the space
<03117>
of a month
<02320>_.
{the space...: Heb. a month of days}
And Laban
<03837>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jacob
<03290>_,
Because thou [art] my brother
<0251>_,
shouldest thou therefore serve
<05647> (8804)
me for nought
<02600>_?
tell
<05046> (8685)
me, what [shall] thy wages
<04909>
[be]?
And Laban
<03837>
had two
<08147>
daughters
<01323>_:
the name
<08034>
of the elder
<01419>
[was] Leah
<03812>_,
and the name
<08034>
of the younger
<06996>
[was] Rachel
<07354>_.
Leah
<03812>
[was] tender
<07390>
eyed
<05869>_;
but Rachel
<07354>
was beautiful
<03303> <08389>
and well
<03303>
favoured
<04758>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
loved
<0157> (8799)
Rachel
<07354>_;
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will serve
<05647> (8799)
thee seven
<07651>
years
<08141>
for Rachel
<07354>
thy younger
<06996>
daughter
<01323>_.
And Laban
<03837>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
[It is] better
<02896>
that I give
<05414> (8800)
her to thee, than that I should give
<05414> (8800)
her to another
<0312>
man
<0376>_:
abide
<03427> (8798)
with me.
And Jacob
<03290>
served
<05647> (8799)
seven
<07651>
years
<08141>
for Rachel
<07354>_;
and they seemed
<05869>
unto him [but] a few
<0259>
days
<03117>_,
for the love he had
<0160>
to her.
And Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Laban
<03837>_,
Give
<03051> (8798)
[me] my wife
<0802>_,
for my days
<03117>
are fulfilled
<04390> (8804)_,
that I may go in
<0935> (8799)
unto her.
And Laban
<03837>
gathered together
<0622> (8799)
all the men
<0582>
of the place
<04725>_,
and made
<06213> (8799)
a feast
<04960>_.
And it came to pass in the evening
<06153>_,
that he took
<03947> (8799)
Leah
<03812>
his daughter
<01323>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
her to him; and he went in
<0935> (8799)
unto her.
And Laban
<03837>
gave
<05414> (8799)
unto his daughter
<01323>
Leah
<03812>
Zilpah
<02153>
his maid
<08198>
[for] an handmaid
<08198>_.
And it came to pass, that in the morning
<01242>_,
behold, it [was] Leah
<03812>_:
and he said
<0559> (8799)
to Laban
<03837>_,
What [is] this thou hast done
<06213> (8804)
unto me? did not I serve
<05647> (8804)
with thee for Rachel
<07354>_?
wherefore then hast thou beguiled
<07411> (8765)
me?
And Laban
<03837>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
It must not be so done
<06213> (8735)
in our country
<04725>_,
to give
<05414> (8800)
the younger
<06810>
before
<06440>
the firstborn
<01067>_.
{country: Heb. place}
Fulfil
<04390> (8761)
her
<02063>
week
<07620>_,
and we will give
<05414> (8799)
thee this also for the service
<05656>
which thou shalt serve
<05647> (8799)
with me yet seven
<07651>
other
<0312>
years
<08141>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
did
<06213> (8799)
so, and fulfilled
<04390> (8762)
her week
<07620>_:
and he gave
<05414> (8799)
him Rachel
<07354>
his daughter
<01323>
to wife
<0802>
also.
And Laban
<03837>
gave
<05414> (8799)
to Rachel
<07354>
his daughter
<01323>
Bilhah
<01090>
his handmaid
<08198>
to be her maid
<08198>_.
And he went in
<0935> (8799)
also unto Rachel
<07354>_,
and he loved
<0157> (8799)
also Rachel
<07354>
more than Leah
<03812>_,
and served
<05647> (8799)
with him yet seven
<07651>
other
<0312>
years
<08141>_.
And when the LORD
<03068>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that Leah
<03812>
[was] hated
<08130> (8803)_,
he opened
<06605> (8799)
her womb
<07358>_:
but Rachel
<07354>
[was] barren
<06135>_.
And Leah
<03812>
conceived
<02029> (8799)_,
and bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>_,
and she called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Reuben
<07205>_:
for
<03588>
she said
<0559> (8804)_,
Surely
<03588>
the LORD
<03068>
hath looked
<07200> (8804)
upon my affliction
<06040>_;
now therefore
<03588>
my husband
<0376>
will love
<0157> (8799)
me. {Reuben: that is, See a son}
And she conceived
<02029> (8799)
again, and bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>_;
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Because the LORD
<03068>
hath heard
<08085> (8804)
that I [was] hated
<08130> (8803)_,
he hath therefore given
<05414> (8799)
me this [son] also: and she called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Simeon
<08095>_.
{Simeon: that is, Hearing}
And she conceived again
<02029> (8799)_,
and bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>_;
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Now this time
<06471>
will my husband
<0376>
be joined
<03867> (8735)
unto me, because I have born
<03205> (8804)
him three
<07969>
sons
<01121>_:
therefore was his name
<08034>
called
<07121> (8804)
Levi
<03878>_.
{Levi: that is, Joined}
And she conceived
<02029> (8799)
again, and bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>_:
and she said
<0559> (8799)_,
Now
<06471>
will I praise
<03034> (8686)
the LORD
<03068>_:
therefore she called
<07121> (8804)
his name
<08034>
Judah
<03063>_;
and left
<05975> (8799)
bearing
<03205> (8800)_.
{Judah: that is, Praise} {left...: Heb. stood from bearing}
And when Rachel
<07354>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that she bare
<03205> (8804)
Jacob
<03290>
no children, Rachel
<07354>
envied
<07065> (8762)
her sister
<0269>_;
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jacob
<03290>_,
Give
<03051> (8798)
me children
<01121>_,
or else
<0369>
I die
<04191> (8801)_.
And Jacob's
<03290>
anger
<0639>
was kindled
<02734> (8799)
against Rachel
<07354>_:
and he said
<0559> (8799)_,
[Am] I in God's
<0430>
stead, who hath withheld
<04513> (8804)
from thee the fruit
<06529>
of the womb
<0990>_?
And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold my maid
<0519>
Bilhah
<01090>_,
go in
<0935> (8798)
unto her; and she shall bear
<03205> (8799)
upon my knees
<01290>_,
that I may also have children
<01129> (8735)
by her. {have...: Heb. be built by her}
And she gave
<05414> (8799)
him Bilhah
<01090>
her handmaid
<08198>
to wife
<0802>_:
and Jacob
<03290>
went in
<0935> (8799)
unto her.
And Bilhah
<01090>
conceived
<02029> (8799)_,
and bare
<03205> (8799)
Jacob
<03290>
a son
<01121>_.
And Rachel
<07354>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
God
<0430>
hath judged
<01777> (8804)
me, and hath also heard
<08085> (8804)
my voice
<06963>_,
and hath given
<05414> (8799)
me a son
<01121>_:
therefore called
<07121> (8804)
she his name
<08034>
Dan
<01835>_.
{Dan: that is, Judging}
And Bilhah
<01090>
Rachel's
<07354>
maid
<08198>
conceived
<02029> (8799)
again, and bare
<03205> (8799)
Jacob
<03290>
a second
<08145>
son
<01121>_.
And Rachel
<07354>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
With great
<0430>
wrestlings
<05319>
have I wrestled
<06617> (8738)
with my sister
<0269>_,
and I have prevailed
<03201> (8804)_:
and she called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Naphtali
<05321>_.
{great...: Heb. wrestlings of God} {Naphtali: that is, My wrestling: Gr. Nephthalim}
When Leah
<03812>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that she had left
<05975> (8804)
bearing
<03205> (8800)_,
she took
<03947> (8799)
Zilpah
<02153>
her maid
<08198>_,
and gave
<05414> (8799)
her Jacob
<03290>
to wife
<0802>_.
And Zilpah
<02153>
Leah's
<03812>
maid
<08198>
bare
<03205> (8799)
Jacob
<03290>
a son
<01121>_.
And Leah
<03812>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
A troop
<01409>
cometh
<0935> (8804)_:
and she called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Gad
<01410>_.
{Gad: that is, A troop, or, company}
And Zilpah
<02153>
Leah's
<03812>
maid
<08198>
bare
<03205> (8799)
Jacob
<03290>
a second
<08145>
son
<01121>_.
And Leah
<03812>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Happy am I
<0837>_,
for the daughters
<01323>
will call me blessed
<0833> (8765)_:
and she called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Asher
<0836>_.
{Happy...: Heb. In my happiness} {Asher: that is, Happy}
And Reuben
<07205>
went in
<03212> (8799)
the days
<03117>
of wheat
<02406>
harvest
<07105>_,
and found
<04672> (8799)
mandrakes
<01736>
in the field
<07704>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
them unto his mother
<0517>
Leah
<03812>_.
Then Rachel
<07354>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Leah
<03812>_,
Give me
<05414> (8798)_,
I pray thee, of thy son's
<01121>
mandrakes
<01736>_.
And she said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, [Is it] a small matter
<04592>
that thou hast taken
<03947> (8800)
my husband
<0376>_?
and wouldest thou take away
<03947> (8800)
my son's
<01121>
mandrakes
<01736>
also? And Rachel
<07354>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Therefore he shall lie
<07901> (8799)
with thee to night
<03915>
for
<08478>
thy son's
<01121>
mandrakes
<01736>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
came
<0935> (8799)
out of the field
<07704>
in the evening
<06153>_,
and Leah
<03812>
went out
<03318> (8799)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thou must come in
<0935> (8799)
unto me; for surely
<07936> (8800)
I have hired
<07936> (8804)
thee with my son's
<01121>
mandrakes
<01736>_.
And he lay
<07901> (8799)
with her that night
<03915>_.
And God
<0430>
hearkened
<08085> (8799)
unto Leah
<03812>_,
and she conceived
<02029> (8799)_,
and bare
<03205> (8799)
Jacob
<03290>
the fifth
<02549>
son
<01121>_.
And Leah
<03812>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
God
<0430>
hath given
<05414> (8804)
me my hire
<07939>_,
because
<0834>
I have given
<05414> (8804)
my maiden
<08198>
to my husband
<0376>_:
and she called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Issachar
<03485>_.
{Issachar: that is, An hire}
And Leah
<03812>
conceived
<02029> (8799)
again, and bare
<03205> (8799)
Jacob
<03290>
the sixth
<08345>
son
<01121>_.
And Leah
<03812>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
God
<0430>
hath endued
<02064> (8804)
me [with] a good
<02896>
dowry
<02065>_;
now
<06471>
will my husband
<0376>
dwell
<02082> (8799)
with me, because I have born
<03205> (8804)
him six
<08337>
sons
<01121>_:
and she called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Zebulun
<02074>_.
{Zebulun: that is, Dwelling: Gr. Zabulon}
And afterwards
<0310>
she bare
<03205> (8804)
a daughter
<01323>_,
and called
<07121> (8799)
her name
<08034>
Dinah
<01783>_.
{Dinah: that is Judgment}
And God
<0430>
remembered
<02142> (8799)
Rachel
<07354>_,
and God
<0430>
hearkened
<08085> (8799)
to her, and opened
<06605> (8799)
her womb
<07358>_.
And she conceived
<02029> (8799)_,
and bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>_;
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
God
<0430>
hath taken away
<0622> (8804)
my reproach
<02781>_:
And she called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Joseph
<03130>_;
and said
<0559> (8800)_,
The LORD
<03068>
shall add
<03254> (8686)
to me another
<0312>
son
<01121>_.
{Joseph: that is, Adding}
And it came to pass, when Rachel
<07354>
had born
<03205> (8804)
Joseph
<03130>_,
that Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Laban
<03837>_,
Send me away
<07971> (8761)_,
that I may go
<03212> (8799)
unto mine own place
<04725>_,
and to my country
<0776>_.
Give
<05414> (8798)
[me] my wives
<0802>
and my children
<03206>_,
for
<02004>
whom I have served
<05647> (8804)
thee, and let me go
<03212> (8799)_:
for thou knowest
<03045> (8804)
my service
<05656>
which I have done
<05647> (8804)
thee.
And Laban
<03837>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, I pray thee, if I have found
<04672> (8804)
favour
<02580>
in thine eyes
<05869>_,
[tarry: for] I have learned by experience
<05172> (8765)
that the LORD
<03068>
hath blessed
<01288> (8762)
me for thy sake
<01558>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Appoint
<05344> (8798)
me thy wages
<07939>_,
and I will give
<05414> (8799)
[it].
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Thou knowest
<03045> (8804)
how
<0834>
I have served
<05647> (8804)
thee, and how
<0834>
thy cattle
<04735>
was with me.
For [it was] little
<04592>
which thou hadst before I
<06440>
[came], and it is [now] increased
<06555> (8799)
unto a multitude
<07230>_;
and the LORD
<03068>
hath blessed
<01288> (8762)
thee since my coming
<07272>_:
and now when
<04970>
shall I provide
<06213> (8799)
for mine own house
<01004>
also? {increased: Heb. broken forth} {since...: Heb. at my foot}
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
What shall I give thee
<05414> (8799)_?
And Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thou shalt not give
<05414> (8799)
me any thing
<03972>_:
if thou wilt do
<06213> (8799)
this thing
<01697>
for me, I will again
<07725> (8799)
feed
<07462> (8799)
[and] keep
<08104> (8799)
thy flock
<06629>_:
I will pass
<05674> (8799)
through all thy flock
<06629>
to day
<03117>_,
removing
<05493> (8687)
from thence all the speckled
<05348>
and spotted
<02921> (8803)
cattle
<07716>_,
and all the brown
<02345>
cattle
<07716>
among the sheep
<03775>_,
and the spotted
<02921> (8803)
and speckled
<05348>
among the goats
<05795>_:
and [of such] shall be my hire
<07939>_.
So shall my righteousness
<06666>
answer
<06030> (8804)
for me in time
<03117>
to come
<04279>_,
when it shall come
<0935> (8799)
for my hire
<07939>
before thy face
<06440>_:
every one
<03605>
that [is] not speckled
<05348>
and spotted
<02921> (8803)
among the goats
<05795>_,
and brown
<02345>
among the sheep
<03775>_,
that shall be counted stolen
<01589> (8803)
with me. {in time...: Heb. to morrow}
And Laban
<03837>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, I would it might be
<03863>
according to thy word
<01697>_.
And he removed
<05493> (8686)
that day
<03117>
the he goats
<08495>
that were ringstraked
<06124>
and spotted
<02921> (8803)_,
and all the she goats
<05795>
that were speckled
<05348>
and spotted
<02921> (8803)_,
[and] every one that had [some] white
<03836>
in it, and all the brown
<02345>
among the sheep
<03775>_,
and gave
<05414> (8799)
[them] into the hand
<03027>
of his sons
<01121>_.
And he set
<07760> (8799)
three
<07969>
days
<03117>_'
journey
<01870>
betwixt himself and Jacob
<03290>_:
and Jacob
<03290>
fed
<07462> (8802)
the rest
<03498> (8737)
of Laban's
<03837>
flocks
<06629>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
took
<03947> (8799)
him rods
<04731>
of green
<03892>
poplar
<03839>_,
and of the hazel
<03869>
and chesnut tree
<06196>_;
and pilled
<06478> (8762)
white
<03836>
strakes
<06479>
in them, and made the white
<03836>
appear
<04286>
which [was] in the rods
<04731>_.
And he set
<03322> (8686)
the rods
<04731>
which he had pilled
<06478> (8765)
before
<05227>
the flocks
<06629>
in the gutters
<07298>
in the watering
<04325>
troughs
<08268>
when the flocks
<06629>
came
<0935> (8799)
to drink
<08354> (8800)_,
that they should conceive
<03179> (8799)
when they came
<0935> (8800)
to drink
<08354> (8800)_.
And the flocks
<06629>
conceived
<03179> (8799)
before the rods
<04731>_,
and brought forth
<03205> (8799)
cattle
<06629>
ringstraked
<06124>_,
speckled
<05348>_,
and spotted
<02921> (8803)_.
And Jacob
<03290>
did separate
<06504> (8689)
the lambs
<03775>_,
and set
<05414> (8799)
the faces
<06440>
of the flocks
<06629>
toward
<0413>
the ringstraked
<06124>_,
and all the brown
<02345>
in the flock
<06629>
of Laban
<03837>_;
and he put
<07896> (8799)
his own flocks
<05739>
by themselves, and put
<07896> (8804)
them not unto Laban's
<03837>
cattle
<06629>_.
And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger
<07194> (8794)
cattle
<06629>
did conceive
<03179> (8763)_,
that Jacob
<03290>
laid
<07760> (8804)
the rods
<04731>
before the eyes
<05869>
of the cattle
<06629>
in the gutters
<07298>_,
that they might conceive
<03179> (8763)
among the rods
<04731>_.
But when the cattle
<06629>
were feeble
<05848> (8687)_,
he put [them] not in
<07760> (8799)_:
so the feebler
<05848> (8803)
were Laban's
<03837>_,
and the stronger
<07194> (8803)
Jacob's
<03290>_.
And the man
<0376>
increased
<06555> (8799)
exceedingly
<03966> <03966>_,
and had much
<07227>
cattle
<06629>_,
and maidservants
<08198>_,
and menservants
<05650>_,
and camels
<01581>_,
and asses
<02543>_.
And he heard
<08085> (8799)
the words
<01697>
of Laban's
<03837>
sons
<01121>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Jacob
<03290>
hath taken away
<03947> (8804)
all that [was] our father's
<01>_;
and of [that] which [was] our father's
<01>
hath he gotten
<06213> (8804)
all this glory
<03519>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
beheld
<07200> (8799)
the countenance
<06440>
of Laban
<03837>_,
and, behold, it [was] not toward him as
<08543>
before
<08032>_.
{as before: Heb. as yesterday and the day before}
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jacob
<03290>_,
Return
<07725> (8798)
unto the land
<0776>
of thy fathers
<01>_,
and to thy kindred
<04138>_;
and I will be with thee.
And Jacob
<03290>
sent
<07971> (8799)
and called
<07121> (8799)
Rachel
<07354>
and Leah
<03812>
to the field
<07704>
unto his flock
<06629>_,
And said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, I see
<07200> (8802)
your father's
<01>
countenance
<06440>_,
that it [is] not toward me as
<08543>
before
<08032>_;
but the God
<0430>
of my father
<01>
hath been
<01961> (8804)
with me.
And ye
<0859>
know
<03045> (8804)
that with all my power
<03581>
I have served
<05647> (8804)
your father
<01>_.
And your father
<01>
hath deceived
<02048> (8765)
me, and changed
<02498> (8689)
my wages
<04909>
ten
<06235>
times
<04489>_;
but God
<0430>
suffered him
<05414> (8804)
not to hurt
<07489> (8687)
me
<05978>_.
If he said
<0559> (8799)
thus, The speckled
<05348>
shall be thy wages
<07939>_;
then all the cattle
<06629>
bare
<03205> (8804)
speckled
<05348>_:
and if he said
<0559> (8799)
thus, The ringstraked
<06124>
shall be thy hire
<07939>_;
then bare
<03205> (8804)
all the cattle
<06629>
ringstraked
<06124>_.
Thus God
<0430>
hath taken away
<05337> (8686)
the cattle
<04735>
of your father
<01>_,
and given
<05414> (8799)
[them] to me.
And it came to pass at the time
<06256>
that the cattle
<06629>
conceived
<03179> (8763)_,
that I lifted up
<05375> (8799)
mine eyes
<05869>_,
and saw
<07200> (8799)
in a dream
<02472>_,
and, behold, the rams
<06260>
which leaped
<05927> (8802)
upon the cattle
<06629>
[were] ringstraked
<06124>_,
speckled
<05348>_,
and grisled
<01261>_.
{rams: or, he goats}
And the angel
<04397>
of God
<0430>
spake
<0559> (8799)
unto me in a dream
<02472>_,
[saying], Jacob
<03290>_:
And I said
<0559> (8799)_,
Here [am] I.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Lift up
<05375> (8798)
now thine eyes
<05869>_,
and see
<07200> (8798)_,
all the rams
<06260>
which leap
<05927> (8802)
upon the cattle
<06629>
[are] ringstraked
<06124>_,
speckled
<05348>_,
and grisled
<01261>_:
for I have seen
<07200> (8804)
all that Laban
<03837>
doeth
<06213> (8802)
unto thee.
I [am] the God
<0410>
of Bethel
<01008>_,
where thou anointedst
<04886> (8804)
the pillar
<04676>_,
[and] where thou vowedst
<05087> (8804)
a vow
<05088>
unto me: now arise
<06965> (8798)_,
get thee out
<03318> (8798)
from this land
<0776>_,
and return
<07725> (8798)
unto the land
<0776>
of thy kindred
<04138>_.
And Rachel
<07354>
and Leah
<03812>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, [Is there] yet any portion
<02506>
or inheritance
<05159>
for us in our father's
<01>
house
<01004>_?
Are we not counted
<02803> (8738)
of him strangers
<05237>_?
for he hath sold
<04376> (8804)
us, and hath quite
<0398> (8800)
devoured
<0398> (8799)
also our money
<03701>_.
For all the riches
<06239>
which God
<0430>
hath taken
<05337> (8689)
from our father
<01>_,
that [is] ours, and our children's
<01121>_:
now then, whatsoever God
<0430>
hath said
<0559> (8804)
unto thee, do
<06213> (8798)_.
Then Jacob
<03290>
rose up
<06965> (8799)_,
and set
<05375> (8799)
his sons
<01121>
and his wives
<0802>
upon camels
<01581>_;
And he carried away
<05090> (8799)
all his cattle
<04735>_,
and all his goods
<07399>
which he had gotten
<07408> (8804)_,
the cattle
<04735>
of his getting
<07075>_,
which he had gotten
<07408> (8804)
in Padanaram
<06307>_,
for to go
<0935> (8800)
to Isaac
<03327>
his father
<01>
in the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_.
And Laban
<03837>
went
<01980> (8804)
to shear
<01494> (8800)
his sheep
<06629>_:
and Rachel
<07354>
had stolen
<01589> (8799)
the images
<08655>
that [were] her father's
<01>_.
{images: Heb. teraphim}
And Jacob
<03290>
stole away
<01589> (8799)
unawares
<03820>
to Laban
<03837>
the Syrian
<0761>_,
in that
<05921>
he told
<05046> (8689)
him not
<01097>
that he fled
<01272> (8802)_.
{unawares...: Heb. the heart of Laban}
So he fled
<01272> (8799)
with all that he had; and he rose up
<06965> (8799)_,
and passed over
<05674> (8799)
the river
<05104>_,
and set
<07760> (8799)
his face
<06440>
[toward] the mount
<02022>
Gilead
<01568>_.
And it was told
<05046> (8714)
Laban
<03837>
on the third
<07992>
day
<03117>
that Jacob
<03290>
was fled
<01272> (8804)_.
And he took
<03947> (8799)
his brethren
<0251>
with him, and pursued
<07291> (8799)
after him
<0310>
seven
<07651>
days
<03117>_'
journey
<01870>_;
and they overtook
<01692> (8686)
him in the mount
<02022>
Gilead
<01568>_.
And God
<0430>
came
<0935> (8799)
to Laban
<03837>
the Syrian
<0761>
in a dream
<02472>
by night
<03915>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Take heed
<08104> (8734)
that thou speak
<01696> (8762)
not to
<05973>
Jacob
<03290>
either good
<02896>
or
<05704>
bad
<07451>_.
{either...: Heb. from good to bad}
Then Laban
<03837>
overtook
<05381> (8686)
Jacob
<03290>_.
Now Jacob
<03290>
had pitched
<08628> (8804)
his tent
<0168>
in the mount
<02022>_:
and Laban
<03837>
with his brethren
<0251>
pitched
<08628> (8804)
in the mount
<02022>
of Gilead
<01568>_.
And Laban
<03837>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Jacob
<03290>_,
What hast thou done
<06213> (8804)_,
that thou hast stolen away
<01589> (8799)
unawares
<03824>
to me, and carried away
<05090> (8762)
my daughters
<01323>_,
as captives
<07617> (8803)
[taken] with the sword
<02719>_?
Wherefore didst thou flee away
<01272> (8800)
secretly
<02244> (8738)_,
and steal away
<01589> (8799)
from me; and didst not tell
<05046> (8689)
me, that I might have sent thee away
<07971> (8762)
with mirth
<08057>_,
and with songs
<07892>_,
with tabret
<08596>_,
and with harp
<03658>_?
{steal...: Heb. hast stolen me}
And hast not suffered
<05203> (8804)
me to kiss
<05401> (8763)
my sons
<01121>
and my daughters
<01323>_?
thou hast now done foolishly
<05528> (8689)
in [so] doing
<06213> (8800)_.
It is
<03426>
in the power
<0410>
of my hand
<03027>
to do
<06213> (8800)
you hurt
<07451>_:
but the God
<0430>
of your father
<01>
spake
<0559> (8804)
unto me yesternight
<0570>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Take thou heed
<08104> (8734)
that thou speak not
<01696> (8763)
to Jacob
<03290>
either good
<02896>
or bad
<07451>_.
And now, [though] thou wouldest needs
<01980> (8800)
be gone
<01980> (8804)_,
because thou sore
<03700> (8736)
longedst
<03700> (8738)
after thy father's
<01>
house
<01004>_,
[yet] wherefore hast thou stolen
<01589> (8804)
my gods
<0430>_?
And Jacob
<03290>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)
to Laban
<03837>_,
Because I was afraid
<03372> (8804)_:
for I said
<0559> (8804)_,
Peradventure
<06435>
thou wouldest take by force
<01497> (8799)
thy daughters
<01323>
from me.
With whomsoever
<0834>
thou findest
<04672> (8799)
thy gods
<0430>_,
let him not live
<02421> (8799)_:
before
<05048>
our brethren
<0251>
discern
<05234> (8685)
thou what [is] thine with me, and take
<03947> (8798)
[it] to thee. For Jacob
<03290>
knew
<03045> (8804)
not that Rachel
<07354>
had stolen
<01589> (8804)
them.
And Laban
<03837>
went
<0935> (8799)
into Jacob's
<03290>
tent
<0168>_,
and into Leah's
<03812>
tent
<0168>_,
and into the two
<08147>
maidservants
<0519>_'
tents
<0168>_;
but he found
<04672> (8804)
[them] not. Then went he out
<03318> (8799)
of Leah's
<03812>
tent
<0168>_,
and entered
<0935> (8799)
into Rachel's
<07354>
tent
<0168>_.
Now Rachel
<07354>
had taken
<03947> (8804)
the images
<08655>_,
and put
<07760> (8799)
them in the camel's
<01581>
furniture
<03733>_,
and sat
<03427> (8799)
upon them. And Laban
<03837>
searched
<04959> (8762)
all the tent
<0168>_,
but found
<04672> (8804)
[them] not. {searched: Heb. felt}
And she said
<0559> (8799)
to her father
<01>_,
Let it not displease
<02734> (8799) <05869>
my lord
<0113>
that I cannot
<03201> (8799)
rise up
<06965> (8800)
before thee
<06440>_;
for the custom
<01870>
of women
<0802>
[is] upon me. And he searched
<02664> (8762)_,
but found
<04672> (8804)
not the images
<08655>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
was wroth
<02734> (8799)_,
and chode
<07378> (8799)
with Laban
<03837>_:
and Jacob
<03290>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)
to Laban
<03837>_,
What [is] my trespass
<06588>_?
what [is] my sin
<02403>_,
that thou hast so hotly pursued
<01814> (8804)
after me
<0310>_?
Whereas
<03588>
thou hast searched
<04959> (8765)
all my stuff
<03627>_,
what hast thou found
<04672> (8804)
of all thy household
<01004>
stuff
<03627>_?
set
<07760> (8798)
[it] here
<03541>
before my brethren
<0251>
and thy brethren
<0251>_,
that they may judge
<03198> (8686)
betwixt
<0996>
us both
<08147>_.
{searched: Heb. felt}
This twenty
<06242>
years
<08141>
[have] I [been] with thee; thy ewes
<07353>
and thy she goats
<05795>
have not cast their young
<07921> (8765)_,
and the rams
<0352>
of thy flock
<06629>
have I not eaten
<0398> (8804)_.
That which was torn
<02966>
[of beasts] I brought
<0935> (8689)
not unto thee; I bare the loss
<02398> (8762)
of it; of my hand
<03027>
didst thou require
<01245> (8762)
it, [whether] stolen
<01589> (8803)
by day
<03117>_,
or stolen
<01589> (8803)
by night
<03915>_.
[Thus] I was; in the day
<03117>
the drought
<02721>
consumed
<0398> (8804)
me, and the frost
<07140>
by night
<03915>_;
and my sleep
<08142>
departed
<05074> (8799)
from mine eyes
<05869>_.
Thus have I been twenty
<06242>
years
<08141>
in thy house
<01004>_;
I served thee
<05647> (8804)
fourteen
<0702> <06240>
years
<08141>
for thy two
<08147>
daughters
<01323>_,
and six
<08337>
years
<08141>
for thy cattle
<06629>_:
and thou hast changed
<02498> (8686)
my wages
<04909>
ten
<06235>
times
<04489>_.
Except
<03884>
the God
<0430>
of my father
<01>_,
the God
<0430>
of Abraham
<085>_,
and the fear
<06343>
of Isaac
<03327>_,
had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away
<07971> (8765)
now empty
<07387>_.
God
<0430>
hath seen
<07200> (8804)
mine affliction
<06040>
and the labour
<03018>
of my hands
<03709>_,
and rebuked
<03198> (8686)
[thee] yesternight
<0570>_.
And Laban
<03837>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jacob
<03290>_,
[These] daughters
<01323>
[are] my daughters
<01323>_,
and [these] children
<01121>
[are] my children
<01121>_,
and [these] cattle
<06629>
[are] my cattle
<06629>_,
and all that thou seest
<07200> (8802)
[is] mine: and what can I do
<06213> (8799)
this day
<03117>
unto these my daughters
<01323>_,
or
<0176>
unto their children
<01121>
which they have born
<03205> (8804)_?
Now therefore come thou
<03212> (8798)_,
let us make
<03772> (8799)
a covenant
<01285>_,
I and thou; and let it be for a witness
<05707>
between me and thee.
And Jacob
<03290>
took
<03947> (8799)
a stone
<068>_,
and set it up
<07311> (8686)
[for] a pillar
<04676>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his brethren
<0251>_,
Gather
<03950> (8798)
stones
<068>_;
and they took
<03947> (8799)
stones
<068>_,
and made
<06213> (8799)
an heap
<01530>_:
and they did eat
<0398> (8799)
there upon the heap
<01530>_.
And Laban
<03837>
called
<07121> (8799)
it Jegarsahadutha
<03026>_:
but Jacob
<03290>
called
<07121> (8804)
it Galeed
<01567>_.
{Jegarsahadutha: that is, The heap of witness, Chaldee} {Galeed: that is, The heap of witness, Heb.}
And Laban
<03837>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
This heap
<01530>
[is] a witness
<05707>
between me and thee this day
<03117>_.
Therefore was the name
<08034>
of it called
<07121> (8804)
Galeed
<01567>_;
And Mizpah
<04709>_;
for
<0834>
he said
<0559> (8804)_,
The LORD
<03068>
watch
<06822> (8799)
between me and thee, when we are absent
<05641> (8735)
one
<0376>
from another
<07453>_.
{Mizpah: that is, A beacon, or, watchtower}
If thou shalt afflict
<06031> (8762)
my daughters
<01323>_,
or if thou shalt take
<03947> (8799)
[other] wives
<0802>
beside
<05921>
my daughters
<01323>_,
no man
<0376>
[is] with us; see
<07200> (8798)_,
God
<0430>
[is] witness
<05707>
betwixt me and thee.
And Laban
<03837>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Jacob
<03290>_,
Behold this heap
<01530>_,
and behold [this] pillar
<04676>_,
which I have cast
<03384> (8804)
betwixt me and thee;
This heap
<01530>
[be] witness
<05707>_,
and [this] pillar
<04676>
[be] witness
<05713>_,
that I will not pass over
<05674> (8799)
this heap
<01530>
to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over
<05674> (8799)
this heap
<01530>
and this pillar
<04676>
unto me, for harm
<07451>_.
The God
<0430>
of Abraham
<085>_,
and the God
<0430>
of Nahor
<05152>_,
the God
<0430>
of their father
<01>_,
judge
<08199> (8799)
betwixt us. And Jacob
<03290>
sware
<07650> (8735)
by the fear
<06343>
of his father
<01>
Isaac
<03327>_.
Then Jacob
<03290>
offered
<02076> (8799)
sacrifice
<02077>
upon the mount
<02022>_,
and called
<07121> (8799)
his brethren
<0251>
to eat
<0398> (8800)
bread
<03899>_:
and they did eat
<0398> (8799)
bread
<03899>_,
and tarried all night
<03885> (8799)
in the mount
<02022>_.
{offered...: or, killed beasts}
And early
<07925> (0)
in the morning
<01242>
Laban
<03837>
rose up
<07925> (8686)_,
and kissed
<05401> (8762)
his sons
<01121>
and his daughters
<01323>_,
and blessed
<01288> (8762)
them: and Laban
<03837>
departed
<03212> (8799)_,
and returned
<07725> (8799)
unto his place
<04725>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
went
<01980> (8804)
on his way
<01870>_,
and the angels
<04397>
of God
<0430>
met
<06293> (8799)
him.
And when Jacob
<03290>
saw them
<07200> (8804)_,
he said
<0559> (8799)_,
This [is] God's
<0430>
host
<04264>_:
and he called
<07121> (8799)
the name
<08034>
of that place
<04725>
Mahanaim
<04266>_.
{Mahanaim: that is, Two hosts, or, camps}
And Jacob
<03290>
sent
<07971> (8799)
messengers
<04397>
before him
<06440>
to Esau
<06215>
his brother
<0251>
unto the land
<0776>
of Seir
<08165>_,
the country
<07704>
of Edom
<0123>_.
{country: Heb. field}
And he commanded
<06680> (8762)
them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus shall ye speak
<0559> (8799)
unto my lord
<0113>
Esau
<06215>_;
Thy servant
<05650>
Jacob
<03290>
saith
<0559> (8804)
thus, I have sojourned
<01481> (8804)
with Laban
<03837>_,
and stayed there
<0309> (8799)
until now:
And I have oxen
<07794>_,
and asses
<02543>_,
flocks
<06629>_,
and menservants
<05650>_,
and womenservants
<08198>_:
and I have sent
<07971> (8799)
to tell
<05046> (8687)
my lord
<0113>_,
that I may find
<04672> (8800)
grace
<02580>
in thy sight
<05869>_.
And the messengers
<04397>
returned
<07725> (8799)
to Jacob
<03290>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
We came
<0935> (8804)
to thy brother
<0251>
Esau
<06215>_,
and also he cometh
<01980> (8802)
to meet thee
<07125> (8800)_,
and four hundred
<03967>
men
<0376>
with him.
Then Jacob
<03290>
was greatly
<03966>
afraid
<03372> (8799)
and distressed
<03334> (8799)_:
and he divided
<02673> (8799)
the people
<05971>
that [was] with him, and the flocks
<06629>_,
and herds
<01241>_,
and the camels
<01581>_,
into two
<08147>
bands
<04264>_;
And said
<0559> (8799)_,
If Esau
<06215>
come
<0935> (8799)
to the one
<0259>
company
<04264>_,
and smite it
<05221> (8689)_,
then the other company
<04264>
which is left
<07604> (8737)
shall escape
<06413>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
O God
<0430>
of my father
<01>
Abraham
<085>_,
and God
<0430>
of my father
<01>
Isaac
<03327>_,
the LORD
<03068>
which saidst
<0559> (8802)
unto me, Return
<07725> (8798)
unto thy country
<0776>_,
and to thy kindred
<04138>_,
and I will deal well
<03190> (8686)
with thee:
I am not worthy of the least
<06994> (8804)
of all the mercies
<02617>_,
and of all the truth
<0571>_,
which thou hast shewed
<06213> (8804)
unto thy servant
<05650>_;
for with my staff
<04731>
I passed over
<05674> (8804)
this Jordan
<03383>_;
and now I am become two
<08147>
bands
<04264>_.
{I am not...: Heb. I am less than all}
Deliver me
<05337> (8685)_,
I pray thee, from the hand
<03027>
of my brother
<0251>_,
from the hand
<03027>
of Esau
<06215>_:
for I fear
<03373>
him, lest he will come
<0935> (8799)
and smite me
<05221> (8689)_,
[and] the mother
<0517>
with
<05921>
the children
<01121>_.
{with: Heb. upon}
And thou saidst
<0559> (8804)_,
I will surely
<03190> (8687)
do thee good
<03190> (8686)_,
and make
<07760> (8804)
thy seed
<02233>
as the sand
<02344>
of the sea
<03220>_,
which cannot be numbered
<05608> (8735)
for multitude
<07230>_.
And he lodged
<03885> (8799)
there that same night
<03915>_;
and took
<03947> (8799)
of that which came
<0935> (8802)
to his hand
<03027>
a present
<04503>
for Esau
<06215>
his brother
<0251>_;
Two hundred
<03967>
she goats
<05795>_,
and twenty
<06242>
he goats
<08495>_,
two hundred
<03967>
ewes
<07353>_,
and twenty
<06242>
rams
<0352>_,
Thirty
<07970>
milch
<03243> (8688)
camels
<01581>
with their colts
<01121>_,
forty
<0705>
kine
<06510>_,
and ten
<06235>
bulls
<06499>_,
twenty
<06242>
she asses
<0860>_,
and ten
<06235>
foals
<05895>_.
And he delivered
<05414> (8799)
[them] into the hand
<03027>
of his servants
<05650>_,
every drove
<05739>
by themselves; and said
<0559> (8799)
unto his servants
<05650>_,
Pass over
<05674> (8798)
before me
<06440>_,
and put
<07760> (8799)
a space
<07305>
betwixt
<0996>
drove
<05739>
and
<0996>
drove
<05739>_.
And he commanded
<06680> (8762)
the foremost
<07223>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
When Esau
<06215>
my brother
<0251>
meeteth thee
<06298> (8799)_,
and asketh thee
<07592> (8804)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Whose [art] thou? and whither goest
<03212> (8799)
thou? and whose [are] these before
<06440>
thee?
Then thou shalt say
<0559> (8804)_,
[They be] thy servant
<05650>
Jacob's
<03290>_;
it [is] a present
<04503>
sent
<07971> (8803)
unto my lord
<0113>
Esau
<06215>_:
and, behold, also he [is] behind us
<0310>_.
And so
<01571>
commanded he
<06680> (8762)
the second
<08145>_,
and the third
<07992>_,
and all that followed
<01980> (8802) <0310>
the droves
<05739>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
On this manner
<01697>
shall ye speak
<01696> (8762)
unto Esau
<06215>_,
when ye find
<04672> (8800)
him.
And say ye
<0559> (8804)
moreover
<01571>_,
Behold, thy servant
<05650>
Jacob
<03290>
[is] behind us
<0310>_.
For he said
<0559> (8804)_,
I will appease
<03722> (8762)
him
<06440>
with the present
<04503>
that goeth
<01980> (8802)
before me
<06440>_,
and afterward
<0310>
I will see
<07200> (8799)
his face
<06440>_;
peradventure he will accept
<05375> (8799)
of me
<06440>_.
{of me: Heb. my face}
So went
<05674> (0)
the present
<04503>
over
<05674> (8799)
before him
<06440>_:
and himself lodged
<03885> (8804)
that night
<03915>
in the company
<04264>_.
And he rose up
<06965> (8799)
that night
<03915>_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
his two
<08147>
wives
<0802>_,
and his two
<08147>
womenservants
<08198>_,
and his eleven
<06240> <0259>
sons
<03206>_,
and passed over
<05674> (8799)
the ford
<04569>
Jabbok
<02999>_.
And he took them
<03947> (8799)_,
and sent them over
<05674> (8686)
the brook
<05158>_,
and sent over
<05674> (8686)
that he had. {sent them: Heb. caused to pass}
And Jacob
<03290>
was left
<03498> (8735)
alone; and there wrestled
<079> (8735)
a man
<0376>
with him until the breaking
<05927> (8800)
of the day
<07837>_.
{breaking...: Heb. ascending of the morning}
And when he saw
<07200> (8799)
that he prevailed
<03201> (8804)
not against him, he touched
<05060> (8799)
the hollow of his thigh
<03409>_;
and the hollow
<03709>
of Jacob's
<03290>
thigh
<03409>
was out of joint
<03363> (8799)_,
as he wrestled
<079> (8736)
with him.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let me go
<07971> (8761)_,
for the day
<07837>
breaketh
<05927> (8804)_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will not let thee go
<07971> (8762)_,
except
<0518>
thou bless
<01288> (8765)
me.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, What [is] thy name
<08034>_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Jacob
<03290>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thy name
<08034>
shall be called
<0559> (8735)
no more Jacob
<03290>_,
but Israel
<03478>_:
for as a prince hast thou power
<08280> (8804)
with God
<0430>
and with men
<0582>_,
and hast prevailed
<03201> (8799)_.
{Israel: that is, A prince of God}
And Jacob
<03290>
asked
<07592> (8799)
[him], and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Tell
<05046> (8685)
[me], I pray thee, thy name
<08034>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Wherefore [is] it
<02088>
[that] thou dost ask
<07592> (8799)
after my name
<08034>_?
And he blessed
<01288> (8762)
him there.
And Jacob
<03290>
called
<07121> (8799)
the name
<08034>
of the place
<04725>
Peniel
<06439>_:
for I have seen
<07200> (8804)
God
<0430>
face
<06440>
to face
<06440>_,
and my life
<05315>
is preserved
<05337> (8735)_.
{Peniel: that is, The face of God}
And as he passed over
<05674> (8804)
Penuel
<06439>
the sun
<08121>
rose
<02224> (8799)
upon him, and he halted
<06760> (8802)
upon his thigh
<03409>_.
Therefore the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
eat
<0398> (8799)
not [of] the sinew
<01517>
which shrank
<05384>_,
which [is] upon the hollow
<03709>
of the thigh
<03409>_,
unto this day
<03117>_:
because he touched
<05060> (8804)
the hollow
<03709>
of Jacob's
<03290>
thigh
<03409>
in the sinew
<01517>
that shrank
<05384>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
lifted up
<05375> (8799)
his eyes
<05869>_,
and looked
<07200> (8799)_,
and, behold, Esau
<06215>
came
<0935> (8802)_,
and with him four
<0702>
hundred
<03967>
men
<0376>_.
And he divided
<02673> (8799)
the children
<03206>
unto Leah
<03812>_,
and unto Rachel
<07354>_,
and unto the two
<08147>
handmaids
<08198>_.
And he put
<07760> (8799)
the handmaids
<08198>
and their children
<03206>
foremost
<07223>_,
and Leah
<03812>
and her children
<03206>
after
<0314>_,
and Rachel
<07354>
and Joseph
<03130>
hindermost
<0314>_.
And he passed over
<05674> (8804)
before them
<06440>_,
and bowed himself
<07812> (8691)
to the ground
<0776>
seven
<07651>
times
<06471>_,
until he came near
<05066> (8800)
to his brother
<0251>_.
And Esau
<06215>
ran
<07323> (8799)
to meet him
<07125> (8800)_,
and embraced
<02263> (8762)
him, and fell
<05307> (8799)
on his neck
<06677>_,
and kissed him
<05401> (8799)_:
and they wept
<01058> (8799)_.
And he lifted up
<05375> (8799)
his eyes
<05869>_,
and saw
<07200> (8799)
the women
<0802>
and the children
<03206>_;
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Who [are] those
<0428>
with thee? And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
The children
<03206>
which God
<0430>
hath graciously given
<02603> (8804)
thy servant
<05650>_.
{with...: Heb. to thee}
Then the handmaidens
<08198>
came near
<05066> (8799)_,
they and their children
<03206>_,
and they bowed themselves
<07812> (8691)_.
And Leah
<03812>
also with her children
<03206>
came near
<05066> (8799)_,
and bowed themselves
<07812> (8691)_:
and after
<0310>
came
<05066> (0)
Joseph
<03130>
near
<05066> (8738)
and Rachel
<07354>_,
and they bowed
<07812> (8691)
themselves.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
What [meanest] thou by all this drove
<04264>
which I met
<06298> (8804)_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
[These are] to find
<04672> (8800)
grace
<02580>
in the sight
<05869>
of my lord
<0113>_.
{What...: Heb. What is all this band to thee?}
And Esau
<06215>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
I have
<03426>
enough
<07227>_,
my brother
<0251>_;
keep that thou hast unto thyself. {keep...: Heb. be that to thee that is thine}
And Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found
<04672> (8804)
grace
<02580>
in thy sight
<05869>_,
then receive
<03947> (8804)
my present
<04503>
at my hand
<03027>_:
for therefore I have seen
<07200> (8804)
thy face
<06440>_,
as though I had seen
<07200> (8800)
the face
<06440>
of God
<0430>_,
and thou wast pleased with me
<07521> (8799)_.
Take
<03947> (8798)_,
I pray thee, my blessing
<01293>
that is brought
<0935> (8717)
to thee; because God
<0430>
hath dealt graciously with me
<02603> (8804)_,
and because
<03605> (0)
I have
<03426>
enough
<03605>_.
And he urged
<06484> (8799)
him, and he took
<03947> (8799)
[it]. {enough: Heb. all things}
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let us take our journey
<05265> (8799)_,
and let us go
<03212> (8799)_,
and I will go
<03212> (8799)
before thee.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, My lord
<0113>
knoweth
<03045> (8802)
that the children
<03206>
[are] tender
<07390>_,
and the flocks
<06629>
and herds
<01241>
with young
<05763> (8802)
[are] with me: and if men should overdrive
<01849> (8804)
them one
<0259>
day
<03117>_,
all the flock
<06629>
will die
<04191> (8804)_.
Let my lord
<0113>_,
I pray thee, pass over
<05674> (8799)
before
<06440>
his servant
<05650>_:
and I will lead on
<05095> (8691)
softly
<0328>_,
according as
<07272>
the cattle
<04399>
that goeth before me
<06440>
and the children
<03206>
be able to endure
<07272>_,
until I come
<0935> (8799)
unto my lord
<0113>
unto Seir
<08165>_.
{according...: Heb. according to the foot of the work, etc., and according to the foot of the children}
And Esau
<06215>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let me now leave
<03322> (8686)
with thee [some] of the folk
<05971>
that [are] with me. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
What
<04100>
needeth it? let me find
<04672> (8799)
grace
<02580>
in the sight
<05869>
of my lord
<0113>_.
{leave: Heb. set, or, place} {What...: Heb. Wherefore is this?}
So Esau
<06215>
returned
<07725> (8799)
that day
<03117>
on his way
<01870>
unto Seir
<08165>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
journeyed
<05265> (8804)
to Succoth
<05523>_,
and built
<01129> (8799)
him an house
<01004>_,
and made
<06213> (8804)
booths
<05521>
for his cattle
<04735>_:
therefore the name
<08034>
of the place
<04725>
is called
<07121> (8804)
Succoth
<05523>_.
{Succoth: that is, Booths}
And Jacob
<03290>
came
<0935> (8799)
to Shalem
<08004>_,
a city
<05892>
of Shechem
<07927>_,
which [is] in the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_,
when he came
<0935> (8800)
from Padanaram
<06307>_;
and pitched his tent
<02583> (8799)
before
<06440>
the city
<05892>_.
{Shechem: Gr. Sychem}
And he bought
<07069> (8799)
a parcel
<02513>
of a field
<07704>_,
where he had spread
<05186> (8804)
his tent
<0168>_,
at the hand
<03027>
of the children
<01121>
of Hamor
<02544>_,
Shechem's
<07927>
father
<01>_,
for an hundred
<03967>
pieces of money
<07192>_.
{Hamor: Gr. Emmor} {pieces...: or, lambs}
And he erected
<05324> (8686)
there an altar
<04196>_,
and called it
<07121> (8799)
Elelohe-Israel
<0415>_.
{Elelohe-Israel: that is God the God of Israel}
And Dinah
<01783>
the daughter
<01323>
of Leah
<03812>_,
which she bare
<03205> (8804)
unto Jacob
<03290>_,
went out
<03318> (8799)
to see
<07200> (8800)
the daughters
<01323>
of the land
<0776>_.
And when Shechem
<07927>
the son
<01121>
of Hamor
<02544>
the Hivite
<02340>_,
prince
<05387>
of the country
<0776>_,
saw
<07200> (8799)
her, he took
<03947> (8799)
her, and lay
<07901> (8799)
with her, and defiled her
<06031> (8762)_.
{defiled...: Heb. humbled her}
And his soul
<05315>
clave
<01692> (8799)
unto Dinah
<01783>
the daughter
<01323>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
and he loved
<0157> (8799)
the damsel
<05291>_,
and spake
<01696> (8762)
kindly
<03820>
unto the damsel
<05291>_.
{kindly...: Heb. to the heart of the damsel}
And Shechem
<07927>
spake
<0559> (8799)
unto his father
<01>
Hamor
<02544>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Get
<03947> (8798)
me this damsel
<03207>
to wife
<0802>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
heard
<08085> (8804)
that he had defiled
<02930> (8765)
Dinah
<01783>
his daughter
<01323>_:
now his sons
<01121>
were with his cattle
<04735>
in the field
<07704>_:
and Jacob
<03290>
held his peace
<02790> (8689)
until they were come
<0935> (8800)_.
And Hamor
<02544>
the father
<01>
of Shechem
<07927>
went out
<03318> (8799)
unto Jacob
<03290>
to commune
<01696> (8763)
with
<0854>
him.
And the sons
<01121>
of Jacob
<03290>
came
<0935> (8804)
out of the field
<07704>
when they heard
<08085> (8800)
[it]: and the men
<0582>
were grieved
<06087> (8691)_,
and they were very
<03966>
wroth
<02734> (8799)_,
because he had wrought
<06213> (8804)
folly
<05039>
in Israel
<03478>
in lying
<07901> (8800)
with Jacob's
<03290>
daughter
<01323>_;
which thing ought not to be done
<06213> (8735)_.
And Hamor
<02544>
communed
<01696> (8762)
with them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The soul
<05315>
of my son
<01121>
Shechem
<07927>
longeth
<02836> (8804)
for your daughter
<01323>_:
I pray you give
<05414> (8798)
her him to wife
<0802>_.
And make ye marriages
<02859> (8690)
with us, [and] give
<05414> (8799)
your daughters
<01323>
unto us, and take
<03947> (8799)
our daughters
<01323>
unto you.
And ye shall dwell
<03427> (8799)
with us: and the land
<0776>
shall be
<01961> (8799)
before you
<06440>_;
dwell
<03427> (8798)
and trade
<05503> (8804)
ye therein, and get you possessions
<0270> (8734)
therein.
And Shechem
<07927>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto her father
<01>
and unto her brethren
<0251>_,
Let me find
<04672> (8799)
grace
<02580>
in your eyes
<05869>_,
and what ye shall say
<0559> (8799)
unto me I will give
<05414> (8799)_.
Ask
<07235> (8685)
me never so much
<03966>
dowry
<04119>
and gift
<04976>_,
and I will give
<05414> (8799)
according as ye shall say
<0559> (8799)
unto me: but give
<05414> (8798)
me the damsel
<05291>
to wife
<0802>_.
And the sons
<01121>
of Jacob
<03290>
answered
<06030> (8799)
Shechem
<07927>
and Hamor
<02544>
his father
<01>
deceitfully
<04820>_,
and said
<01696> (8762)_,
because he had defiled
<02930> (8765)
Dinah
<01783>
their sister
<0269>_:
And they said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, We cannot
<03808> <03201> (8799)
do
<06213> (8800)
this thing
<01697>_,
to give
<05414> (8800)
our sister
<0269>
to one
<0376>
that is uncircumcised
<06190>_;
for that [were] a reproach
<02781>
unto us:
But in this
<02063>
will we consent
<0225> (8735)
unto you: If ye will be as we [be], that every male
<02145>
of you be circumcised
<04135> (8736)_;
Then will we give
<05414> (8804)
our daughters
<01323>
unto you, and we will take
<03947> (8799)
your daughters
<01323>
to us, and we will dwell
<03427> (8804)
with you, and we will become one
<0259>
people
<05971>_.
But if ye will not hearken
<08085> (8799)
unto us, to be circumcised
<04135> (8736)_;
then will we take
<03947> (8804)
our daughter
<01323>_,
and we will be gone
<01980> (8804)_.
And their words
<01697>
pleased
<03190> (8799) <05869>
Hamor
<02544>_,
and Shechem
<07927>
Hamor's
<02544>
son
<01121>_.
And the young man
<05288>
deferred
<0309> (8765)
not to do
<06213> (8800)
the thing
<01697>_,
because he had delight
<02654> (8804)
in Jacob's
<03290>
daughter
<01323>_:
and he [was] more honourable
<03513> (8737)
than all the house
<01004>
of his father
<01>_.
And Hamor
<02544>
and Shechem
<07927>
his son
<01121>
came
<0935> (8799)
unto the gate
<08179>
of their city
<05892>_,
and communed
<01696> (8762)
with the men
<0582>
of their city
<05892>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
These men
<0582>
[are] peaceable
<08003>
with
<0854>
us; therefore let them dwell
<03427> (8799)
in the land
<0776>_,
and trade
<05503> (8799)
therein; for the land
<0776>_,
behold, [it is] large
<07342>
enough
<03027>
for them
<06440>_;
let us take
<03947> (8799)
their daughters
<01323>
to us for wives
<0802>_,
and let us give
<05414> (8799)
them our daughters
<01323>_.
Only herein
<02063>
will the men
<0582>
consent
<0225> (8735)
unto us for to dwell
<03427> (8800)
with us, to be one
<0259>
people
<05971>_,
if every male
<02145>
among us be circumcised
<04135> (8736)_,
as they [are] circumcised
<04135> (8737)_.
[Shall] not their cattle
<04735>
and their substance
<07075>
and every beast
<0929>
of theirs [be] ours? only let us consent
<0225> (8735)
unto them, and they will dwell
<03427> (8799)
with us.
And unto Hamor
<02544>
and unto Shechem
<07927>
his son
<01121>
hearkened
<08085> (8799)
all that went out
<03318> (8802)
of the gate
<08179>
of his city
<05892>_;
and every male
<02145>
was circumcised
<04135> (8735)_,
all that went out
<03318> (8802)
of the gate
<08179>
of his city
<05892>_.
And it came to pass on the third
<07992>
day
<03117>_,
when they were sore
<03510> (8802)_,
that two
<08147>
of the sons
<01121>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
Simeon
<08095>
and Levi
<03878>_,
Dinah's
<01783>
brethren
<0251>_,
took
<03947> (8799)
each man
<0376>
his sword
<02719>_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
upon the city
<05892>
boldly
<0983>_,
and slew
<02026> (8799)
all the males
<02145>_.
And they slew
<02026> (8804)
Hamor
<02544>
and Shechem
<07927>
his son
<01121>
with the edge
<06310>
of the sword
<02719>_,
and took
<03947> (0)
Dinah
<01783>
out
<03947> (8799)
of Shechem's
<07927>
house
<01004>_,
and went out
<03318> (8799)_.
{edge: Heb. mouth}
The sons
<01121>
of Jacob
<03290>
came
<0935> (8804)
upon the slain
<02491>_,
and spoiled
<0962> (8799)
the city
<05892>_,
because they had defiled
<02930> (8765)
their sister
<0269>_.
They took
<03947> (8804)
their sheep
<06629>_,
and their oxen
<01241>_,
and their asses
<02543>_,
and that which [was] in the city
<05892>_,
and that which [was] in the field
<07704>_,
And all their wealth
<02428>_,
and all their little ones
<02945>_,
and their wives
<0802>
took they captive
<07617> (8804)_,
and spoiled
<0962> (8799)
even all that [was] in the house
<01004>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Simeon
<08095>
and Levi
<03878>_,
Ye have troubled
<05916> (8804)
me to make me to stink
<0887> (8687)
among the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the land
<0776>_,
among the Canaanites
<03669>
and the Perizzites
<06522>_:
and I [being] few
<04962>
in number
<04557>_,
they shall gather themselves together
<0622> (8738)
against me, and slay me
<05221> (8689)_;
and I shall be destroyed
<08045> (8738)_,
I and my house
<01004>_.
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Should he deal
<06213> (8799)
with our sister
<0269>
as with an harlot
<02181> (8802)_?
And God
<0430>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jacob
<03290>_,
Arise
<06965> (8798)_,
go up
<05927> (8798)
to Bethel
<01008>_,
and dwell
<03427> (8798)
there: and make
<06213> (8798)
there an altar
<04196>
unto God
<0410>_,
that appeared
<07200> (8737)
unto thee when thou fleddest
<01272> (8800)
from the face
<06440>
of Esau
<06215>
thy brother
<0251>_.
Then Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his household
<01004>_,
and to all that [were] with him, Put away
<05493> (8685)
the strange
<05236>
gods
<0430>
that [are] among you
<08432>_,
and be clean
<02891> (8690)_,
and change
<02498> (8685)
your garments
<08071>_:
And let us arise
<06965> (8799)_,
and go up
<05927> (8799)
to Bethel
<01008>_;
and I will make
<06213> (8799)
there an altar
<04196>
unto God
<0410>_,
who answered
<06030> (8802)
me in the day
<03117>
of my distress
<06869>_,
and was with me in the way
<01870>
which I went
<01980> (8804)_.
And they gave
<05414> (8799)
unto Jacob
<03290>
all the strange
<05236>
gods
<0430>
which [were] in their hand
<03027>_,
and [all their] earrings
<05141>
which [were] in their ears
<0241>_;
and Jacob
<03290>
hid
<02934> (8799)
them under the oak
<0424>
which [was] by Shechem
<07927>_.
And they journeyed
<05265> (8799)_:
and the terror
<02847>
of God
<0430>
was upon the cities
<05892>
that [were] round about
<05439>
them, and they did not pursue
<07291> (8804)
after
<0310>
the sons
<01121>
of Jacob
<03290>_.
So Jacob
<03290>
came
<0935> (8799)
to Luz
<03870>_,
which [is] in the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_,
that [is], Bethel
<01008>_,
he and all the people
<05971>
that [were] with him.
And he built
<01129> (8799)
there an altar
<04196>_,
and called
<07121> (8799)
the place
<04725>
Elbethel
<0416>_:
because there God
<0430>
appeared
<01540> (8738)
unto him, when he fled
<01272> (8800)
from the face
<06440>
of his brother
<0251>_.
{Elbethel: that is, The God of Bethel}
But Deborah
<01683>
Rebekah's
<07259>
nurse
<03243> (8688)
died
<04191> (8799)_,
and she was buried
<06912> (8735)
beneath Bethel
<01008>
under an oak
<0437>_:
and the name
<08034>
of it was called
<07121> (8799)
Allonbachuth
<0439>_.
{Allonbachuth: that is, The oak of weeping}
And God
<0430>
appeared
<07200> (8735)
unto Jacob
<03290>
again, when he came
<0935> (8800)
out of Padanaram
<06307>_,
and blessed
<01288> (8762)
him.
And God
<0430>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Thy name
<08034>
[is] Jacob
<03290>_:
thy name
<08034>
shall not be called
<07121> (8735)
any more Jacob
<03290>_,
but Israel
<03478>
shall be thy name
<08034>_:
and he called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Israel
<03478>_.
And God
<0430>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, I [am] God
<0410>
Almighty
<07706>_:
be fruitful
<06509> (8798)
and multiply
<07235> (8798)_;
a nation
<01471>
and a company
<06951>
of nations
<01471>
shall be of thee, and kings
<04428>
shall come
<03318> (8799)
out of thy loins
<02504>_;
And the land
<0776>
which I gave
<05414> (8804)
Abraham
<085>
and Isaac
<03327>_,
to thee I will give it
<05414> (8799)_,
and to thy seed
<02233>
after thee
<0310>
will I give
<05414> (8799)
the land
<0776>_.
And God
<0430>
went up
<05927> (8799)
from him in the place
<04725>
where he talked
<01696> (8765)
with him.
And Jacob
<03290>
set up
<05324> (8686)
a pillar
<04676>
in the place
<04725>
where he talked
<01696> (8765)
with him, [even] a pillar
<04678>
of stone
<068>_:
and he poured
<05258> (8686)
a drink offering
<05262>
thereon, and he poured
<03332> (8799)
oil
<08081>
thereon.
And Jacob
<03290>
called
<07121> (8799)
the name
<08034>
of the place
<04725>
where God
<0430>
spake
<01696> (8765)
with him, Bethel
<01008>_.
And they journeyed
<05265> (8799)
from Bethel
<01008>_;
and there was but
<05750>
a little
<03530>
way
<0776>
to come
<0935> (8800)
to Ephrath
<0672>_:
and Rachel
<07354>
travailed
<03205> (8799)_,
and she had hard
<07185> (8762)
labour
<03205> (8800)_.
{a little...: Heb. a little piece of ground}
And it came to pass, when she was in hard
<07185> (8687)
labour
<03205> (8800)_,
that the midwife
<03205> (8764)
said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, Fear
<03372> (8799)
not; thou shalt have this son
<01121>
also.
And it came to pass, as her soul
<05315>
was in departing
<03318> (8800)_,
(for she died
<04191> (8804))
that she called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Benoni
<01126>_:
but his father
<01>
called
<07121> (8804)
him Benjamin
<01144>_.
{Benoni: that is, The son of my sorrow} {Benjamin: that is, The son of the right hand}
And Rachel
<07354>
died
<04191> (8799)_,
and was buried
<06912> (8735)
in the way
<01870>
to Ephrath
<0672>_,
which [is] Bethlehem
<01035>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
set
<05324> (8686)
a pillar
<04676>
upon her grave
<06900>_:
that [is] the pillar
<04678>
of Rachel's
<07354>
grave
<06900>
unto this day
<03117>_.
And Israel
<03478>
journeyed
<05265> (8799)_,
and spread
<05186> (8799)
his tent
<0168>
beyond
<01973>
the tower
<04026>
of Edar
<04029>_.
And it came to pass, when Israel
<03478>
dwelt
<07931> (8800)
in that land
<0776>_,
that Reuben
<07205>
went
<03212> (8799)
and lay
<07901> (8799)
with Bilhah
<01090>
his father's
<01>
concubine
<06370>_:
and Israel
<03478>
heard
<08085> (8799)
[it]. Now the sons
<01121>
of Jacob
<03290>
were twelve
<08147> <06240>_:

and Asher
<0836>_:
these [are] the sons
<01121>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
which were born
<03205> (8795)
to him in Padanaram
<06307>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
came
<0935> (8799)
unto Isaac
<03327>
his father
<01>
unto Mamre
<04471>_,
unto the city of Arbah
<07153>_,
which [is] Hebron
<02275>_,
where Abraham
<085>
and Isaac
<03327>
sojourned
<01481> (8804)_.
And the days
<03117>
of Isaac
<03327>
were an hundred
<03967> <08141>
and fourscore
<08084>
years
<08141>_.
And Isaac
<03327>
gave up the ghost
<01478> (8799)_,
and died
<04191> (8799)_,
and was gathered
<0622> (8735)
unto his people
<05971>_,
[being] old
<02205>
and full
<07649>
of days
<03117>_:
and his sons
<01121>
Esau
<06215>
and Jacob
<03290>
buried
<06912> (8799)
him.
Now these [are] the generations
<08435>
of Esau
<06215>_,
who [is] Edom
<0123>_.
Esau
<06215>
took
<03947> (8804)
his wives
<0802>
of the daughters
<01323>
of Canaan
<03667>_;

<02340>_;
And Bashemath
<01315>
Ishmael's
<03458>
daughter
<01323>_,
sister
<0269>
of Nebajoth
<05032>_.
{Bashemath: or, Mahalath}

<06215>

<03281>_,
and Korah
<07141>_:
these [are] the sons
<01121>
of Esau
<06215>_,
which were born
<03205> (8795)
unto him in the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_.
And Esau
<06215>
took
<03947> (8799)
his wives
<0802>_,
and his sons
<01121>_,
and his daughters
<01323>_,
and all the persons
<05315>
of his house
<01004>_,
and his cattle
<04735>_,
and all his beasts
<0929>_,
and all his substance
<07075>_,
which he had got
<07408> (8804)
in the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_;
and went
<03212> (8799)
into the country
<0776>
from the face
<06440>
of his brother
<0251>
Jacob
<03290>_.
{persons: Heb. souls}
For their riches
<07399>
were more
<07227>
than that they might dwell
<03427> (8800)
together
<03162>_;
and the land
<0776>
wherein they were strangers
<04033>
could
<03201> (8804)
not bear
<05375> (8800)
them because
<06440>
of their cattle
<04735>_.
Thus dwelt
<03427> (8799)
Esau

{wherein...: Heb. of his father's sojournings}
These [are] the generations
<08435>
of Jacob
<03290>_.
Joseph
<03130>_,
[being] seventeen
<06240> <07651>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>_,
was feeding
<07462> (8802)
the flock
<06629>
with his brethren
<0251>_;
and the lad
<05288>
[was] with the sons
<01121>
of Bilhah
<01090>_,
and with the sons
<01121>
of Zilpah
<02153>_,
his father's
<01>
wives
<0802>_:
and Joseph
<03130>
brought
<0935> (8686)
unto his father
<01>
their evil
<07451>
report
<01681>_.
Now Israel
<03478>
loved
<0157> (8804)
Joseph
<03130>
more than all his children
<01121>_,
because he [was] the son
<01121>
of his old age
<02208>_:
and he made
<06213> (8804)
him a coat
<03801>
of [many] colours
<06446>_.
{colours: or, pieces}
And when his brethren
<0251>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that their father
<01>
loved
<0157> (8804)
him more than all his brethren
<0251>_,
they hated
<08130> (8799)
him, and could
<03201> (8804)
not speak
<01696> (8763)
peaceably
<07965>
unto him.
And Joseph
<03130>
dreamed
<02492> (8799)
a dream
<02472>_,
and he told
<05046> (8686)
[it] his brethren
<0251>_:
and they hated
<08130> (8800)
him yet the more
<03254> (8686)_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Hear
<08085> (8798)_,
I pray you, this dream
<02472>
which I have dreamed
<02492> (8804)_:
For, behold, we [were] binding
<0481> (8764) <08432>
sheaves
<0485>
in the field
<07704>_,
and, lo, my sheaf
<0485>
arose
<06965> (8804)_,
and also stood upright
<05324> (8738)_;
and, behold, your sheaves
<0485>
stood round about
<05437> (8799)_,
and made obeisance
<07812> (8691)
to my sheaf
<0485>_.
And his brethren
<0251>
said
<0559> (8799)
to him, Shalt thou indeed
<04427> (8800)
reign
<04427> (8799)
over us? or shalt thou indeed
<04910> (8800)
have dominion
<04910> (8799)
over us? And they hated
<08130> (8800)
him yet the more
<03254> (8686)
for his dreams
<02472>_,
and for his words
<01697>_.
And he dreamed
<02492> (8799)
yet another
<0312>
dream
<02472>_,
and told
<05608> (8762)
it his brethren
<0251>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, I have dreamed
<02492> (8804)
a dream
<02472>
more; and, behold, the sun
<08121>
and the moon
<03394>
and the eleven
<06240> <0259>
stars
<03556>
made obeisance
<07812> (8693)
to me.
And he told
<05608> (8762)
[it] to his father
<01>_,
and to his brethren
<0251>_:
and his father
<01>
rebuked
<01605> (8799)
him, and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, What [is] this dream
<02472>
that thou hast dreamed
<02492> (8804)_?
Shall I and thy mother
<0517>
and thy brethren
<0251>
indeed
<0935> (8800)
come
<0935> (8799)
to bow down
<07812> (8692)
ourselves to thee to the earth
<0776>_?
And his brethren
<0251>
envied
<07065> (8762)
him; but his father
<01>
observed
<08104> (8804)
the saying
<01697>_.
And his brethren
<0251>
went
<03212> (8799)
to feed
<07462> (8800)
their father's
<01>
flock
<06629>
in Shechem
<07927>_.
And Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Joseph
<03130>_,
Do not thy brethren
<0251>
feed
<07462> (8802)
[the flock] in Shechem
<07927>_?
come
<03212> (8798)_,
and I will send thee
<07971> (8799)
unto them. And he said
<0559> (8799)
to him, Here [am I].
And he said
<0559> (8799)
to him, Go
<03212> (8798)_,
I pray thee, see
<07200> (8798)
whether it be well
<07965>
with thy brethren
<0251>_,
and well
<07965>
with the flocks
<06629>_;
and bring
<07725> (0)
me word
<01697>
again
<07725> (8685)_.
So he sent
<07971> (8799)
him out of the vale
<06010>
of Hebron
<02275>_,
and he came
<0935> (8799)
to Shechem
<07927>_.
{see...: Heb. see the peace of thy brethren, etc.}
And a certain man
<0376>
found him
<04672> (8799)_,
and, behold, [he was] wandering
<08582> (8802)
in the field
<07704>_:
and the man
<0376>
asked him
<07592> (8799)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
What seekest
<01245> (8762)
thou?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I seek
<01245> (8764)
my brethren
<0251>_:
tell
<05046> (8685)
me, I pray thee, where
<0375>
they feed
<07462> (8802)
[their flocks].
And the man
<0376>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
They are departed
<05265> (8804)
hence
<02088>_;
for I heard
<08085> (8804)
them say
<0559> (8802)_,
Let us go
<03212> (8799)
to Dothan
<01886>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
went
<03212> (8799)
after
<0310>
his brethren
<0251>_,
and found
<04672> (8799)
them in Dothan
<01886>_.
And when they saw
<07200> (8799)
him afar off
<07350>_,
even before he came near
<07126> (8799)
unto them, they conspired
<05230> (8691)
against him to slay
<04191> (8687)
him.
And they said
<0559> (8799)
one
<0376>
to another
<0251>_,
Behold, this
<01976>
dreamer
<01167> <02472>
cometh
<0935> (8802)_.
{dreamer: Heb. master of dreams}
Come
<03212> (8798)
now therefore, and let us slay
<02026> (8799)
him, and cast
<07993> (8686)
him into some
<0259>
pit
<0953>_,
and we will say
<0559> (8804)_,
Some evil
<07451>
beast
<02416>
hath devoured
<0398> (8804)
him: and we shall see
<07200> (8799)
what will become of his dreams
<02472>_.
And Reuben
<07205>
heard
<08085> (8799)
[it], and he delivered
<05337> (8686)
him out of their hands
<03027>_;
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let us not kill
<05221> (8686) <05315>
him.
And Reuben
<07205>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Shed
<08210> (8799)
no blood
<01818>_,
[but] cast
<07993> (8685)
him into this pit
<0953>
that [is] in the wilderness
<04057>_,
and lay
<07971> (8799)
no hand
<03027>
upon him; that he might rid
<05337> (8687)
him out of their hands
<03027>_,
to deliver
<07725> (0)
him to his father
<01>
again
<07725> (8687)_.
And it came to pass, when Joseph
<03130>
was come
<0935> (8804)
unto his brethren
<0251>_,
that they stript
<06584> (8686) <0853>
Joseph
<03130>
out of
<0854>
his coat
<03801>_,
[his] coat
<03801>
of [many] colours
<06446>
that [was] on him; {colours: or, pieces}
And they took
<03947> (8799)
him, and cast
<07993> (8686)
him into a pit
<0953>_:
and the pit
<0953>
[was] empty
<07386>_,
[there was] no water
<04325>
in it.
And they sat down
<03427> (8799)
to eat
<0398> (8800)
bread
<03899>_:
and they lifted up
<05375> (8799)
their eyes
<05869>
and looked
<07200> (8799)_,
and, behold, a company
<0736>
of Ishmeelites
<03459>
came
<0935> (8802)
from Gilead
<01568>
with their camels
<01581>
bearing
<05375> (8802)
spicery
<05219>
and balm
<06875>
and myrrh
<03910>_,
going
<01980> (8802)
to carry [it] down
<03381> (8687)
to Egypt
<04714>_.
And Judah
<03063>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his brethren
<0251>_,
What profit
<01215>
[is it] if we slay
<02026> (8799)
our brother
<0251>_,
and conceal
<03680> (8765)
his blood
<01818>_?
Come
<03212> (8798)_,
and let us sell
<04376> (8799)
him to the Ishmeelites
<03459>_,
and let not our hand
<03027>
be upon him; for he [is] our brother
<0251>
[and] our flesh
<01320>_.
And his brethren
<0251>
were content
<08085> (8799)_.
{were...: Heb. hearkened}
Then there passed
<05674> (8799)
by Midianites
<04084>
merchantmen
<0582> <05503> (8802)_;
and they drew
<04900> (8799)
and lifted up
<05927> (8686)
Joseph
<03130>
out of the pit
<0953>_,
and sold
<04376> (8799)
Joseph
<03130>
to the Ishmeelites
<03459>
for twenty
<06242>
[pieces] of silver
<03701>_:
and they brought
<0935> (8686)
Joseph
<03130>
into Egypt
<04714>_.
And Reuben
<07205>
returned
<07725> (8799)
unto the pit
<0953>_;
and, behold, Joseph
<03130>
[was] not in the pit
<0953>_;
and he rent
<07167> (8799)
his clothes
<0899>_.
And he returned
<07725> (8799)
unto his brethren
<0251>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
The child
<03206>
[is] not; and I, whither
<0575>
shall I go
<0935> (8802)_?
And they took
<03947> (8799)
Joseph's
<03130>
coat
<03801>_,
and killed
<07819> (8799)
a kid
<08163>
of the goats
<05795>_,
and dipped
<02881> (8799)
the coat
<03801>
in the blood
<01818>_;
And they sent
<07971> (8762)
the coat
<03801>
of [many] colours
<06446>_,
and they brought
<0935> (8686)
[it] to their father
<01>_;
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
This have we found
<04672> (8804)_:
know
<05234> (8685)
now whether it [be] thy son's
<01121>
coat
<03801>
or no.
And he knew it
<05234> (8686)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
[It is] my son's
<01121>
coat
<03801>_;
an evil
<07451>
beast
<02416>
hath devoured
<0398> (8804)
him; Joseph
<03130>
is without doubt
<02963> (8800)
rent in pieces
<02963> (8776)_.
And Jacob
<03290>
rent
<07167> (8799)
his clothes
<08071>_,
and put
<07760> (8799)
sackcloth
<08242>
upon his loins
<04975>_,
and mourned
<056> (8691)
for his son
<01121>
many
<07227>
days
<03117>_.
And all his sons
<01121>
and all his daughters
<01323>
rose up
<06965> (8799)
to comfort
<05162> (8763)
him; but he refused
<03985> (8762)
to be comforted
<05162> (8692)_;
and he said
<0559> (8799)_,
For I will go down
<03381> (8799)
into the grave
<07585>
unto my son
<01121>
mourning
<057>_.
Thus his father
<01>
wept
<01058> (8799)
for him.
And the Midianites
<04092>
sold
<04376> (8804)
him into Egypt
<04714>
unto Potiphar
<06318>_,
an officer
<05631>
of Pharaoh's
<06547>_,
[and] captain
<08269>
of the guard
<02876>_.
{officer: Heb. eunuch: but the word doth signify not only eunuchs, but also chamberlains, courtiers, and officers} {captain...: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the slaughter men, or executioners}
And it came to pass at that time
<06256>_,
that Judah
<03063>
went down
<03381> (8799)
from his brethren
<0251>_,
and turned
<05186> (8799)
in to a certain
<0376>
Adullamite
<05726>_,
whose name
<08034>
[was] Hirah
<02437>_.
And Judah
<03063>
saw
<07200> (8799)
there a daughter
<01323>
of a certain
<0376>
Canaanite
<03669>_,
whose name
<08034>
[was] Shuah
<07770>_;
and he took her
<03947> (8799)_,
and went in
<0935> (8799)
unto her.
And she conceived
<02029> (8799)_,
and bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>_;
and he called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Er
<06147>_.
And she conceived
<02029> (8799)
again, and bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>_;
and she called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Onan
<0209>_.
And she yet again conceived
<03254> (8686)_,
and bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>_;
and called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Shelah
<07956>_:
and he was at Chezib
<03580>_,
when she bare
<03205> (8800)
him.
And Judah
<03063>
took
<03947> (8799)
a wife
<0802>
for Er
<06147>
his firstborn
<01060>_,
whose name
<08034>
[was] Tamar
<08559>_.
And Er
<06147>_,
Judah's
<03063>
firstborn
<01060>_,
was wicked
<07451>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
and the LORD
<03068>
slew
<04191> (8686)
him.
And Judah
<03063>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Onan
<0209>_,
Go in
<0935> (8798)
unto thy brother's
<0251>
wife
<0802>_,
and marry
<02992> (8761)
her, and raise up
<06965> (8685)
seed
<02233>
to thy brother
<0251>_.
And Onan
<0209>
knew
<03045> (8799)
that the seed
<02233>
should not be his; and it came to pass, when
<0518>
he went in
<0935> (8802)
unto his brother's
<0251>
wife
<0802>_,
that he spilled
<07843> (8765)
[it] on the ground
<0776>_,
lest
<01115>
that he should give
<05414> (8800)
seed
<02233>
to his brother
<0251>_.
And the thing which
<0834>
he did
<06213> (8804)
displeased
<03415> (8799) <05869>
the LORD
<03068>_:
wherefore he slew
<04191> (8686)
him also. {displeased...: Heb. was evil in the eyes of the Lord}
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Judah
<03063>
to Tamar
<08559>
his daughter in law
<03618>_,
Remain
<03427> (8798)
a widow
<0490>
at thy father's
<01>
house
<01004>_,
till Shelah
<07956>
my son
<01121>
be grown
<01431> (8799)_:
for he said
<0559> (8804)_,
Lest peradventure he die
<04191> (8799)
also, as his brethren
<0251>
[did]. And Tamar
<08559>
went
<03212> (8799)
and dwelt
<03427> (8799)
in her father's
<01>
house
<01004>_.
And in process
<07235> (8799)
of time
<03117>
the daughter
<01323>
of Shuah
<07770>
Judah's
<03063>
wife
<0802>
died
<04191> (8799)_;
and Judah
<03063>
was comforted
<05162> (8735)_,
and went up
<05927> (8799)
unto his sheepshearers
<01494> (8802) <06629>
to Timnath
<08553>_,
he and his friend
<07453>
Hirah
<02437>
the Adullamite
<05726>_.
{in process...: Heb. the days were multiplied}
And it was told
<05046> (8714)
Tamar
<08559>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Behold thy father in law
<02524>
goeth up
<05927> (8802)
to Timnath
<08553>
to shear
<01494> (8800)
his sheep
<06629>_.
And she put
<05493> (0)
her widow's
<0491>
garments
<0899>
off
<05493> (8686)
from her, and covered her
<03680> (8762)
with a vail
<06809>_,
and wrapped herself
<05968> (8691)_,
and sat in
<03427> (8799)
an open
<05869>
place
<06607>_,
which [is] by the way
<01870>
to Timnath
<08553>_;
for she saw
<07200> (8804)
that Shelah
<07956>
was grown
<01431> (8804)_,
and she was not given
<05414> (8738)
unto him to wife
<0802>_.
{an open...: Heb. the door of eyes, or, of Enajim}
When Judah
<03063>
saw her
<07200> (8799)_,
he thought
<02803> (8799)
her [to be] an harlot
<02181> (8802)_;
because she had covered
<03680> (8765)
her face
<06440>_.
And he turned
<05186> (8799)
unto her by the way
<01870>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go to
<03051> (8798)_,
I pray thee, let me come in
<0935> (8799)
unto thee; (for he knew
<03045> (8804)
not that she [was] his daughter in law
<03618>.)
And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
What wilt thou give
<05414> (8799)
me, that thou mayest come in
<0935> (8799)
unto me?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will send
<07971> (8762)
[thee] a kid
<05795> <01423>
from the flock
<06629>_.
And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
Wilt thou give
<05414> (8799)
[me] a pledge
<06162>_,
till thou send
<07971> (8800)
[it]? {a kid: Heb. a kid of the goats}
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
What
<0834>
pledge
<06162>
shall I give
<05414> (8799)
thee? And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thy signet
<02368>_,
and thy bracelets
<06616>_,
and thy staff
<04294>
that [is] in thine hand
<03027>_.
And he gave
<05414> (8799)
[it] her, and came in
<0935> (8799)
unto her, and she conceived
<02029> (8799)
by him.
And she arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and went away
<03212> (8799)_,
and laid by
<05493> (8686)
her vail
<06809>
from her, and put on
<03847> (8799)
the garments
<0899>
of her widowhood
<0491>_.
And Judah
<03063>
sent
<07971> (8799)
the kid
<01423> <05795>
by the hand
<03027>
of his friend
<07453>
the Adullamite
<05726>_,
to receive
<03947> (8800)
[his] pledge
<06162>
from the woman's
<0802>
hand
<03027>_:
but he found her
<04672> (8804)
not.
Then he asked
<07592> (8799)
the men
<0582>
of that place
<04725>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Where [is] the harlot
<06948>_,
that [was] openly
<05869>
by the way side
<01870>_?
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
There was no harlot
<06948>
in this
<02088>
[place]. {openly: or, in Enajim}
And he returned
<07725> (8799)
to Judah
<03063>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
I cannot
<03808>
find
<04672> (8804)
her; and also the men
<0582>
of the place
<04725>
said
<0559> (8804)_,
[that] there was no harlot
<06948>
in this [place].
And Judah
<03063>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let her take
<03947> (8799)
[it] to her, lest we be shamed
<0937>_:
behold, I sent
<07971> (8804)
this kid
<01423>_,
and thou hast not found
<04672> (8804)
her. {be shamed: Heb. become a contempt}
And it came to pass about three
<07969>
months
<02320>
after, that it was told
<05046> (8714)
Judah
<03063>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Tamar
<08559>
thy daughter in law
<03618>
hath played the harlot
<02181> (8804)_;
and also, behold, she [is] with child
<02030>
by whoredom
<02183>_.
And Judah
<03063>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Bring her forth
<03318> (8685)_,
and let her be burnt
<08313> (8735)_.
When she [was] brought forth
<03318> (8716)_,
she sent
<07971> (8804)
to her father in law
<02524>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
By the man
<0376>_,
whose these [are, am] I with child
<02030>_:
and she said
<0559> (8799)_,
Discern
<05234> (8685)_,
I pray thee, whose [are] these, the signet
<02858>_,
and bracelets
<06616>_,
and staff
<04294>_.
And Judah
<03063>
acknowledged
<05234> (8686)
[them], and said
<0559> (8799)_,
She hath been more righteous
<06663> (8804)
than I; because that I gave
<05414> (8804)
her not to Shelah
<07956>
my son
<01121>_.
And he knew her
<03045> (8800)
again
<03254> (8804)
no more.
And it came to pass in the time
<06256>
of her travail
<03205> (8800)_,
that, behold, twins
<08380>
[were] in her womb
<0990>_.
And it came to pass, when she travailed
<03205> (8800)_,
that [the one] put out
<05414> (8799)
[his] hand
<03027>_:
and the midwife
<03205> (8764)
took
<03947> (8799)
and bound
<07194> (8799)
upon his hand
<03027>
a scarlet thread
<08144>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
This came out
<03318> (8804)
first
<07223>_.
And it came to pass, as he drew back
<07725> (8688)
his hand
<03027>_,
that, behold, his brother
<0251>
came out
<03318> (8804)_:
and she said
<0559> (8799)_,
How hast thou broken forth
<06555> (8804)_?
[this] breach
<06556>
[be] upon thee: therefore his name
<08034>
was called
<07121> (8799)
Pharez
<06557>_.
{How hast...: or, Wherefore hast thou made this breach against thee?} {Pharez: that is A breach}
And afterward
<0310>
came out
<03318> (8804)
his brother
<0251>_,
that had the scarlet thread
<08144>
upon his hand
<03027>_:
and his name
<08034>
was called
<07121> (8799)
Zarah
<02226>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
was brought down
<03381> (8717)
to Egypt
<04714>_;
and Potiphar
<06318>_,
an officer
<05631>
of Pharaoh
<06547>_,
captain
<08269>
of the guard
<02876>_,
an Egyptian
<0376> <04713>_,
bought
<07069> (8799)
him of the hands
<03027>
of the Ishmeelites
<03459>_,
which had brought him down
<03381> (8689)
thither.
And the LORD
<03068>
was with Joseph
<03130>_,
and he was a prosperous
<06743> (8688)
man
<0376>_;
and he was in the house
<01004>
of his master
<0113>
the Egyptian
<04713>_.
And his master
<0113>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that the LORD
<03068>
[was] with him, and that the LORD
<03068>
made all that he did
<06213> (8802)
to prosper
<06743> (8688)
in his hand
<03027>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
found
<04672> (8799)
grace
<02580>
in his sight
<05869>_,
and he served
<08334> (8762)
him: and he made him overseer
<06485> (8686)
over his house
<01004>_,
and all [that] he had
<03426>
he put
<05414> (8804)
into his hand
<03027>_.
And it came to pass from the time
<0227>
[that] he had made him overseer
<06485> (8689)
in his house
<01004>_,
and over all that he had
<03426>_,
that the LORD
<03068>
blessed
<01288> (8762)
the Egyptian's
<04713>
house
<01004>
for Joseph's
<03130>
sake
<01558>_;
and the blessing
<01293>
of the LORD
<03068>
was upon all that he had
<03426>
in the house
<01004>_,
and in the field
<07704>_.
And he left
<05800> (8799)
all that he had in Joseph's
<03130>
hand
<03027>_;
and he knew
<03045> (8804)
not ought
<03972>
he had, save
<0518>
the bread
<03899>
which he did eat
<0398> (8802)_.
And Joseph
<03130>
was [a] goodly
<08389>
[person], and well
<03303>
favoured
<04758>_.
And it came to pass after
<0310>
these things
<01697>_,
that his master's
<0113>
wife
<0802>
cast
<05375> (8799)
her eyes
<05869>
upon Joseph
<03130>_;
and she said
<0559> (8799)_,
Lie
<07901> (8798)
with me.
But he refused
<03985> (8762)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto his master's
<0113>
wife
<0802>_,
Behold, my master
<0113>
wotteth
<03045> (8804)
not what [is] with me in the house
<01004>_,
and he hath committed
<05414> (8804)
all that he hath
<03426>
to my hand
<03027>_;
[There is] none greater
<01419>
in this house
<01004>
than I; neither
<03808>
hath he kept back
<02820> (8804)
any thing
<03972>
from me but thee, because
<0834>
thou
<0859>
[art] his wife
<0802>_:
how then can I do
<06213> (8799)
this great
<01419>
wickedness
<07451>_,
and sin
<02398> (8804)
against God
<0430>_?
And it came to pass, as she spake
<01696> (8763)
to Joseph
<03130>
day
<03117>
by day
<03117>_,
that he hearkened
<08085> (8804)
not unto her, to lie
<07901> (8800)
by her
<0681>_,
[or] to be with her.
And it came to pass about this time
<03117>_,
that [Joseph] went
<0935> (8799)
into the house
<01004>
to do
<06213> (8800)
his business
<04399>_;
and [there was] none of the men
<0376> <0582>
of the house
<01004>
there within.
And she caught
<08610> (8799)
him by his garment
<0899>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Lie
<07901> (8798)
with me: and he left
<05800> (8799)
his garment
<0899>
in her hand
<03027>_,
and fled
<05127> (8799)_,
and got
<03318> (8799)
him out
<02351>_.
And it came to pass, when she saw
<07200> (8800)
that he had left
<05800> (8804)
his garment
<0899>
in her hand
<03027>_,
and was fled
<05127> (8799)
forth
<02351>_,
That she called
<07121> (8799)
unto the men
<0582>
of her house
<01004>_,
and spake
<0559> (8799)
unto them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
See
<07200> (8798)_,
he hath brought in
<0935> (8689)
an Hebrew
<0376> <05680>
unto us to mock
<06711> (8763)
us; he came in
<0935> (8804)
unto me to lie
<07901> (8800)
with me, and I cried
<07121> (8799)
with a loud
<01419>
voice
<06963>_:
{loud: Heb. great}
And it came to pass, when he heard
<08085> (8800)
that I lifted up
<07311> (8689)
my voice
<06963>
and cried
<07121> (8799)_,
that he left
<05800> (8799)
his garment
<0899>
with me
<0681>_,
and fled
<05127> (8799)_,
and got him
<03318> (8799)
out
<02351>_.
And she laid up
<03240> (8686)
his garment
<0899>
by her
<0681>_,
until his lord
<0113>
came
<0935> (8800)
home
<01004>_.
And she spake
<01696> (8762)
unto him according to these words
<01697>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The Hebrew
<05680>
servant
<05650>_,
which thou hast brought
<0935> (8689)
unto us, came in
<0935> (8804)
unto me to mock
<06711> (8763)
me:
And it came to pass, as I lifted up
<07311> (8687)
my voice
<06963>
and cried
<07121> (8799)_,
that he left
<05800> (8799)
his garment
<0899>
with me
<0681>_,
and fled
<05127> (8799)
out
<02351>_.
And it came to pass, when his master
<0113>
heard
<08085> (8800)
the words
<01697>
of his wife
<0802>_,
which she spake
<01696> (8765)
unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
After this manner
<01697>
did
<06213> (8804)
thy servant
<05650>
to me; that his wrath
<0639>
was kindled
<02734> (8799)_.
And Joseph's
<03130>
master
<0113>
took
<03947> (8799)
him, and put him
<05414> (8799)
into the prison
<01004> <05470>_,
a place
<04725>
where the king's
<04428>
prisoners
<0615>
[were] bound
<0631> (8803)_:
and he was there in the prison
<01004> <05470>_.
But the LORD
<03068>
was with Joseph
<03130>_,
and shewed
<05186> (8799)
him mercy
<02617>_,
and gave
<05414> (8799)
him favour
<02580>
in the sight
<05869>
of the keeper
<08269>
of the prison
<01004> <05470>_.
{shewed...: Heb. extended kindness unto him}
And the keeper
<08269>
of the prison
<01004> <05470>
committed
<05414> (8799)
to Joseph's
<03130>
hand
<03027>
all the prisoners
<0615>
that [were] in the prison
<01004> <05470>_;
and whatsoever they did
<06213> (8802)
there, he was the doer
<06213> (8802)
[of it].
The keeper
<08269>
of the prison
<01004> <05470>
looked
<07200> (8802)
not to any thing
<03972>
[that was] under his hand
<03027>_;
because the LORD
<03068>
was with him, and [that] which he did
<06213> (8802)_,
the LORD
<03068>
made [it] to prosper
<06743> (8688)_.
And it came to pass after
<0310>
these things
<01697>_,
[that] the butler
<08248> (8688)
of the king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>
and [his] baker
<0644> (8802)
had offended
<02398> (8804)
their lord
<0113>
the king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
And Pharaoh
<06547>
was wroth
<07107> (8799)
against
<05921>
two
<08147>
[of] his officers
<05631>_,
against the chief
<08269>
of the butlers
<08248> (8688)_,
and against the chief
<08269>
of the bakers
<0644> (8802)_.
And he put
<05414> (8799)
them in ward
<04929>
in the house
<01004>
of the captain
<08269>
of the guard
<02876>_,
into the prison
<01004> <05470>_,
the place
<04725>
where Joseph
<03130>
[was] bound
<0631> (8803)_.
And the captain
<08269>
of the guard
<02876>
charged
<06485> (8799)
Joseph
<03130>
with them, and he served
<08334> (8762)
them: and they continued a season
<03117>
in ward
<04929>_.
And they dreamed
<02492> (8799)
a dream
<02472>
both of them
<08147>_,
each man
<0376>
his dream
<02472>
in one
<0259>
night
<03915>_,
each man
<0376>
according to the interpretation
<06623>
of his dream
<02472>_,
the butler
<08248> (8688)
and the baker
<0644> (8802)
of the king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
which [were] bound
<0631> (8803)
in the prison
<01004> <05470>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
came in
<0935> (8799)
unto them in the morning
<01242>_,
and looked
<07200> (8799)
upon them, and, behold, they [were] sad
<02196> (8802)_.
And he asked
<07592> (8799)
Pharaoh's
<06547>
officers
<05631>
that [were] with him in the ward
<04929>
of his lord's
<0113>
house
<01004>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Wherefore look
<06440>
ye [so] sadly
<07451>
to day
<03117>_?
{look...: Heb. are your faces evil?}
And they said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, We have dreamed
<02492> (8804)
a dream
<02472>_,
and [there is] no interpreter
<06622> (8802)
of it. And Joseph
<03130>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, [Do] not interpretations
<06623>
[belong] to God
<0430>_?
tell me
<05608> (8761)
[them], I pray you.
And the chief
<08269>
butler
<08248> (8688)
told
<05608> (8762)
his dream
<02472>
to Joseph
<03130>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
to him, In my dream
<02472>_,
behold, a vine
<01612>
[was] before me
<06440>_;
And in the vine
<01612>
[were] three
<07969>
branches
<08299>_:
and it [was] as though it budded
<06524> (8802)_,
[and] her blossoms
<05322>
shot forth
<05927> (8804)_;
and the clusters
<0811>
thereof brought forth ripe
<01310> (8689)
grapes
<06025>_:
And Pharaoh's
<06547>
cup
<03563>
[was] in my hand
<03027>_:
and I took
<03947> (8799)
the grapes
<06025>_,
and pressed
<07818> (8799)
them into Pharaoh's
<06547>
cup
<03563>_,
and I gave
<05414> (8799)
the cup
<03563>
into Pharaoh's
<06547>
hand
<03709>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, This [is] the interpretation
<06623>
of it: The three
<07969>
branches
<08299>
[are] three
<07969>
days
<03117>_:
Yet
<05750>
within three
<07969>
days
<03117>
shall Pharaoh
<06547>
lift up
<05375> (8799)
thine head
<07218>_,
and restore
<07725> (8689)
thee unto thy place
<03653>_:
and thou shalt deliver
<05414> (8804)
Pharaoh's
<06547>
cup
<03563>
into his hand
<03027>_,
after the former
<07223>
manner
<04941>
when thou wast his butler
<08248> (8688)_.
{lift...: or, reckon}
But think
<02142> (8804)
on me when it shall be well
<03190> (8799)
with thee, and shew
<06213> (8804)
kindness
<02617>_,
I pray thee, unto me, and make mention
<02142> (8689)
of me unto Pharaoh
<06547>_,
and bring me
<03318> (8689)
out of this house
<01004>_:
{think...: Heb. remember me with thee}
For indeed I was stolen away
<01589> (8795)
out of the land
<0776>
of the Hebrews
<05680>_:
and here also have I done
<06213> (8804)
nothing
<03972>
that they should put
<07760> (8804)
me into the dungeon
<0953>_.
When the chief
<08269>
baker
<0644> (8802)
saw
<07200> (8799)
that the interpretation
<06622> (8804)
was good
<02896>_,
he said
<0559> (8799)
unto Joseph
<03130>_,
I also
<0637>
[was] in my dream
<02472>_,
and, behold, [I had] three
<07969>
white
<02751>
baskets
<05536>
on my head
<07218>_:
{white: or, full of holes}
And in the uppermost
<05945>
basket
<05536>
[there was] of all manner
<03978>
of bakemeats
<04639> <0644> (8802)
for Pharaoh
<06547>_;
and the birds
<05775>
did eat
<0398> (8802)
them out of the basket
<05536>
upon
<05921>
my head
<07218>_.
{bakemeats...: Heb. meat of Pharaoh, the work of a baker, or, cook}
And Joseph
<03130>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
This [is] the interpretation
<06623>
thereof: The three
<07969>
baskets
<05536>
[are] three
<07969>
days
<03117>_:
Yet within three
<07969>
days
<03117>
shall Pharaoh
<06547>
lift up
<05375> (8799)
thy head
<07218>
from off thee, and shall hang
<08518> (8804)
thee on a tree
<06086>_;
and the birds
<05775>
shall eat
<0398> (8804)
thy flesh
<01320>
from off thee. {lift...: or, reckon thee, and take thy office from thee}
And it came to pass the third
<07992>
day
<03117>_,
[which was] Pharaoh's
<06547>
birthday
<03117> <03205> (8715)_,
that he made
<06213> (8799)
a feast
<04960>
unto all his servants
<05650>_:
and he lifted up
<05375> (8799)
the head
<07218>
of the chief
<08269>
butler
<08248> (8688)
and of the chief
<08269>
baker
<0644> (8802)
among
<08432>
his servants
<05650>_.
{lifted...: or, reckoned}
And he restored
<07725> (0)
the chief
<08269>
butler
<08248> (8688)
unto his butlership
<04945>
again
<07725> (8686)_;
and he gave
<05414> (8799)
the cup
<03563>
into Pharaoh's
<06547>
hand
<03709>_:
But he hanged
<08518> (8804)
the chief
<08269>
baker
<0644> (8802)_:
as Joseph
<03130>
had interpreted
<06622> (8804)
to them.
Yet did not the chief
<08269>
butler
<08248> (8688)
remember
<02142> (8804)
Joseph
<03130>_,
but forgat
<07911> (8799)
him.
And it came to pass at the end
<07093>
of two full
<03117>
years
<08141>_,
that Pharaoh
<06547>
dreamed
<02492> (8802)_:
and, behold, he stood
<05975> (8802)
by the river
<02975>_.
And, behold, there came up
<05927> (8802)
out of the river
<02975>
seven
<07651>
well
<03303>
favoured
<04758>
kine
<06510>
and fatfleshed
<01277> <01320>_;
and they fed
<07462> (8799)
in a meadow
<0260>_.
And, behold, seven
<07651>
other
<0312>
kine
<06510>
came up
<05927> (8802)
after them
<0310>
out of the river
<02975>_,
ill
<07451>
favoured
<04758>
and leanfleshed
<01851> <01320>_;
and stood
<05975> (8799)
by
<0681>
the [other] kine
<06510>
upon the brink
<08193>
of the river
<02975>_.
And the ill
<07451>
favoured
<04758>
and leanfleshed
<01851> <01320>
kine
<06510>
did eat up
<0398> (8799)
the seven
<07651>
well
<03303>
favoured
<04758>
and fat
<01277>
kine
<06510>_.
So Pharaoh
<06547>
awoke
<03364> (8799)_.
And he slept
<03462> (8799)
and dreamed
<02492> (8799)
the second time
<08145>_:
and, behold, seven
<07651>
ears of corn
<07641>
came up
<05927> (8802)
upon one
<0259>
stalk
<07070>_,
rank
<01277>
and good
<02896>_.
{rank: Heb. fat}
And, behold, seven
<07651>
thin
<01851>
ears
<07641>
and blasted
<07710> (8803)
with the east wind
<06921>
sprung up
<06779> (8802)
after them
<0310>_.
And the seven thin
<01851>
ears
<07641>
devoured
<01104> (8799)
the seven
<07651>
rank
<01277>
and full
<04392>
ears
<07641>_.
And Pharaoh
<06547>
awoke
<03364> (8799)_,
and, behold, [it was] a dream
<02472>_.
And it came to pass in the morning
<01242>
that his spirit
<07307>
was troubled
<06470> (8735)_;
and he sent
<07971> (8799)
and called
<07121> (8799)
for all the magicians
<02748>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and all the wise men
<02450>
thereof: and Pharaoh
<06547>
told
<05608> (8762)
them his dream
<02472>_;
but [there was] none that could interpret
<06622> (8802)
them unto Pharaoh
<06547>_.
Then spake
<01696> (8762)
the chief
<08269>
butler
<08248> (8688)
unto Pharaoh
<06547>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
I do remember
<02142> (8688)
my faults
<02399>
this day
<03117>_:
Pharaoh
<06547>
was wroth
<07107> (8804)
with his servants
<05650>_,
and put
<05414> (8799)
me in ward
<04929>
in the captain
<08269>
of the guard's
<02876>
house
<01004>_,
[both] me and the chief
<08269>
baker
<0644> (8802)_:
And we dreamed
<02492> (8799)
a dream
<02472>
in one
<0259>
night
<03915>_,
I and he; we dreamed
<02492> (8804)
each man
<0376>
according to the interpretation
<06623>
of his dream
<02472>_.
And [there was] there with us a young man
<05288>_,
an Hebrew
<05680>_,
servant
<05650>
to the captain
<08269>
of the guard
<02876>_;
and we told
<05608> (8762)
him, and he interpreted
<06622> (8799)
to us our dreams
<02472>_;
to each man
<0376>
according to his dream
<02472>
he did interpret
<06622> (8804)_.
And it came to pass, as he interpreted
<06622> (8804)
to us, so it was; me he restored
<07725> (8689)
unto mine office
<03653>_,
and him he hanged
<08518> (8804)_.
Then Pharaoh
<06547>
sent
<07971> (8799)
and called
<07121> (8799)
Joseph
<03130>_,
and they brought him hastily
<07323> (8686)
out of the dungeon
<0953>_:
and he shaved
<01548> (8762)
[himself], and changed
<02498> (8762)
his raiment
<08071>_,
and came in
<0935> (8804)
unto Pharaoh
<06547>_.
{brought...: Heb. made him run}
And Pharaoh
<06547>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Joseph
<03130>_,
I have dreamed
<02492> (8804)
a dream
<02472>_,
and [there is] none that can interpret
<06622> (8802)
it: and I have heard
<08085> (8804)
say
<0559> (8800)
of thee, [that] thou canst understand
<08085> (8799)
a dream
<02472>
to interpret
<06622> (8800)
it. {thou...: or, when thou hearest a dream thou canst interpret it}
And Joseph
<03130>
answered
<06030> (8799)
Pharaoh
<06547>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
[It is] not in me
<01107>_:
God
<0430>
shall give
<06030> (0)
Pharaoh
<06547>
an answer
<06030> (8799)
of peace
<07965>_.
And Pharaoh
<06547>
said
<01696> (8762)
unto Joseph
<03130>_,
In my dream
<02472>_,
behold, I stood
<05975> (8802)
upon the bank
<08193>
of the river
<02975>_:
And, behold, there came up
<05927> (8802)
out of the river
<02975>
seven
<07651>
kine
<06510>_,
fatfleshed
<01277> <01320>
and well
<03303>
favoured
<08389>_;
and they fed
<07462> (8799)
in a meadow
<0260>_:
And, behold, seven
<07651>
other
<0312>
kine
<06510>
came up
<05927> (8802)
after them
<0310>_,
poor
<01803>
and very
<03966>
ill
<07451>
favoured
<08389>
and leanfleshed
<07534> <01320>_,
such
<02007>
as I never
<03808>
saw
<07200> (8804)
in all the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
for badness
<07455>_:
And the lean
<07534>
and the ill favoured
<07451>
kine
<06510>
did eat up
<0398> (8799)
the first
<07223>
seven
<07651>
fat
<01277>
kine
<06510>_:
And when they had eaten them up
<0935> (8799) <07130>_,
it could not be known
<03045> (8738)
that they had eaten them
<0935> (8804) <07130>_;
but they [were] still
<04758>
ill favoured
<07451>_,
as at the beginning
<08462>_.
So I awoke
<03364> (8799)_.
{eaten...: Heb. come to the inward parts of them}
And I saw
<07200> (8799)
in my dream
<02472>_,
and, behold, seven
<07651>
ears
<07641>
came up
<05927> (8802)
in one
<0259>
stalk
<07070>_,
full
<04392>
and good
<02896>_:
And, behold, seven
<07651>
ears
<07641>_,
withered
<06798> (8803)_,
thin
<01851>_,
[and] blasted
<07710> (8803)
with the east wind
<06921>_,
sprung up
<06779> (8802)
after them
<0310>_:
{withered: or, small}
And the thin
<01851>
ears
<07641>
devoured
<01104> (8799)
the seven
<07651>
good
<02896>
ears
<07641>_:
and I told
<0559> (8799)
[this] unto the magicians
<02748>_;
but [there was] none that could declare
<05046> (8688)
[it] to me.
And Joseph
<03130>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Pharaoh
<06547>_,
The dream
<02472>
of Pharaoh
<06547>
[is] one
<0259>_:
God
<0430>
hath shewed
<05046> (8689)
Pharaoh
<06547>
what he [is] about to do
<06213> (8802)_.
The seven
<07651>
good
<02896>
kine
<06510>
[are] seven
<07651>
years
<08141>_;
and the seven
<07651>
good
<02896>
ears
<07641>
[are] seven
<07651>
years
<08141>_:
the dream
<02472>
[is] one
<0259>_.
And the seven
<07651>
thin
<07534>
and ill favoured
<07451>
kine
<06510>
that came up
<05927> (8802)
after them
<0310>
[are] seven
<07651>
years
<08141>_;
and the seven
<07651>
empty
<07386>
ears
<07641>
blasted
<07710> (8803)
with the east wind
<06921>
shall be seven
<07651>
years
<08141>
of famine
<07458>_.
This [is] the thing
<01697>
which I have spoken
<01696> (8765)
unto Pharaoh
<06547>_:
What God
<0430>
[is] about to do
<06213> (8802)
he sheweth
<07200> (8689)
unto Pharaoh
<06547>_.
Behold, there come
<0935> (8802)
seven
<07651>
years
<08141>
of great
<01419>
plenty
<07647>
throughout all the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_:
And there shall arise
<06965> (8804)
after them
<0310>
seven
<07651>
years
<08141>
of famine
<07458>_;
and all the plenty
<07647>
shall be forgotten
<07911> (8738)
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_;
and the famine
<07458>
shall consume
<03615> (8765)
the land
<0776>_;
And the plenty
<07647>
shall not be known
<03045> (8735)
in the land
<0776>
by reason
<06440>
of that famine
<07458>
following
<0310> <03651>_;
for it [shall be] very
<03966>
grievous
<03515>_.
{grievous: Heb. heavy}
And for that the dream
<02472>
was doubled
<08138> (8736)
unto Pharaoh
<06547>
twice
<06471>_;
[it is] because the thing
<01697>
[is] established
<03559> (8737)
by
<05973>
God
<0430>_,
and God
<0430>
will shortly
<04116> (8764)
bring it to pass
<06213> (8800)_.
{established...: or, prepared of God}
Now therefore let Pharaoh
<06547>
look out
<07200> (8799)
a man
<0376>
discreet
<0995> (8737)
and wise
<02450>_,
and set
<07896> (8799)
him over the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
Let Pharaoh
<06547>
do
<06213> (8799)
[this], and let him appoint
<06485> (8686)
officers
<06496>
over the land
<0776>_,
and take up the fifth part
<02567> (8765)
of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
in the seven
<07651>
plenteous
<07647>
years
<08141>_.
{officers: or, overseers}
And let them gather
<06908> (8799)
all the food
<0400>
of those good
<02896>
years
<08141>
that come
<0935> (8802)_,
and lay up
<06651> (8799)
corn
<01250>
under the hand
<03027>
of Pharaoh
<06547>_,
and let them keep
<08104> (8804)
food
<0400>
in the cities
<05892>_.
And that food
<0400>
shall be for store
<06487>
to the land
<0776>
against the seven
<07651>
years
<08141>
of famine
<07458>_,
which shall be in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_;
that the land
<0776>
perish
<03772> (8735)
not through the famine
<07458>_.
{perish...: Heb. be not cut off}
And the thing
<01697>
was good
<03190> (8799)
in the eyes
<05869>
of Pharaoh
<06547>_,
and in the eyes
<05869>
of all his servants
<05650>_.
And Pharaoh
<06547>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his servants
<05650>_,
Can we find
<04672> (8799)
[such a one] as this
<02088>
[is], a man
<0376>
in whom
<0834>
the Spirit
<07307>
of God
<0430>
[is]?
And Pharaoh
<06547>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Joseph
<03130>_,
Forasmuch
<0310>
as God
<0430>
hath shewed
<03045> (8687)
thee all this, [there is] none so discreet
<0995> (8737)
and wise
<02450>
as thou [art]:
Thou shalt be
<01961> (8799)
over my house
<01004>_,
and according unto thy word
<06310>
shall all my people
<05971>
be ruled
<05401> (8799)_:
only in the throne
<03678>
will I be greater
<01431> (8799)
than thou. {be ruled: Heb. be armed, or, kiss}
And Pharaoh
<06547>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Joseph
<03130>_,
See
<07200> (8798)_,
I have set
<05414> (8804)
thee over all the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
And Pharaoh
<06547>
took off
<05493> (8686)
his ring
<02885>
from his hand
<03027>_,
and put
<05414> (8799)
it upon Joseph's
<03130>
hand
<03027>_,
and arrayed
<03847> (8686)
him in vestures
<0899>
of fine linen
<08336>_,
and put
<07760> (8799)
a gold
<02091>
chain
<07242>
about his neck
<06677>_;
{fine...: or, silk}
And he made him to ride
<07392> (8686)
in the second
<04932>
chariot
<04818>
which he had; and they cried
<07121> (8799)
before him
<06440>_,
Bow the knee
<086>_:
and he made
<05414> (8800)
him [ruler] over all the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
{Bow...: or, Tender father: Heb. Abrech}
And Pharaoh
<06547>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Joseph
<03130>_,
I [am] Pharaoh
<06547>_,
and without
<01107>
thee shall no man
<0376>
lift up
<07311> (8686)
his hand
<03027>
or foot
<07272>
in all the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
And Pharaoh
<06547>
called
<07121> (8799)
Joseph's
<03130>
name
<08034>
Zaphnathpaaneah
<06847>_;
and he gave
<05414> (8799)
him to wife
<0802>
Asenath
<0621>
the daughter
<01323>
of Potipherah
<06319>
priest
<03548>
of On
<0204>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
went out
<03318> (8799)
over [all] the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
{Zaphnathpaaneah: which in the Coptic signifies, A revealer of secrets, or, The man to whom secrets are revealed} {priest: or, prince}
And Joseph
<03130>
[was] thirty
<07970>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he stood
<05975> (8800)
before
<06440>
Pharaoh
<06547>
king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
went out
<03318> (8799)
from the presence
<06440>
of Pharaoh
<06547>_,
and went throughout
<05674> (8799)
all the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
And in the seven
<07651>
plenteous
<07647>
years
<08141>
the earth
<0776>
brought forth
<06213> (8799)
by handfuls
<07062>_.
And he gathered up
<06908> (8799)
all the food
<0400>
of the seven
<07651>
years
<08141>_,
which were in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and laid up
<05414> (8799)
the food
<0400>
in the cities
<05892>_:
the food
<0400>
of the field
<07704>_,
which [was] round about
<05439>
every city
<05892>_,
laid he up
<05414> (8804)
in the same
<08432>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
gathered
<06651> (8799)
corn
<01250>
as the sand
<02344>
of the sea
<03220>_,
very
<03966>
much
<07235> (8687)_,
until he left
<02308> (8804)
numbering
<05608> (8800)_;
for [it was] without
<0369>
number
<04557>_.
And unto Joseph
<03130>
were born
<03205> (8795)
two
<08147>
sons
<01121>
before the years
<08141>
of famine
<07458>
came
<0935> (8799)_,
which Asenath
<0621>
the daughter
<01323>
of Potipherah
<06319>
priest
<03548>
of On
<0204>
bare
<03205> (8804)
unto him. {priest: or, prince}
And Joseph
<03130>
called
<07121> (8799)
the name
<08034>
of the firstborn
<01060>
Manasseh
<04519>_:
For God
<0430>_,
[said he], hath made me forget
<05382> (8765)
all my toil
<05999>_,
and all my father's
<01>
house
<01004>_.
{Manasseh: that is, Forgetting}
And the name
<08034>
of the second
<08145>
called
<07121> (8804)
he Ephraim
<0669>_:
For God
<0430>
hath caused me to be fruitful
<06509> (8689)
in the land
<0776>
of my affliction
<06040>_.
{Ephraim: that is, Fruitful}
And the seven
<07651>
years
<08141>
of plenteousness
<07647>_,
that was in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
were ended
<03615> (8799)_.
And the seven
<07651>
years
<08141>
of dearth
<07458>
began
<02490> (8686)
to come
<0935> (8800)_,
according as Joseph
<03130>
had said
<0559> (8804)_:
and the dearth
<07458>
was in all lands
<0776>_;
but in all the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
there was bread
<03899>_.
And when all the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
was famished
<07456> (8799)_,
the people
<05971>
cried
<06817> (8799)
to Pharaoh
<06547>
for bread
<03899>_:
and Pharaoh
<06547>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto all the Egyptians
<04714>_,
Go
<03212> (8798)
unto Joseph
<03130>_;
what he saith
<0559> (8799)
to you, do
<06213> (8799)_.
And the famine
<07458>
was over all the face
<06440>
of the earth
<0776>_:
And Joseph
<03130>
opened
<06605> (8799)
all the storehouses, and sold
<07666> (8799)
unto the Egyptians
<04714>_;
and the famine
<07458>
waxed sore
<02388> (8799)
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
{all the storehouses: Heb. all wherein was}
And all countries
<0776>
came
<0935> (8804)
into Egypt
<04714>
to Joseph
<03130>
for to buy
<07666> (8800)
[corn]; because that the famine
<07458>
was [so] sore
<02388> (8804)
in all lands
<0776>_.
Now when Jacob
<03290>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that there was
<03426>
corn
<07668>
in Egypt
<04714>_,
Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his sons
<01121>_,
Why do ye look
<07200> (8691)
one upon another?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, I have heard
<08085> (8804)
that there is
<03426>
corn
<07668>
in Egypt
<04714>_:
get you down
<03381> (8798)
thither, and buy
<07666> (8798)
for us from thence; that we may live
<02421> (8799)_,
and not die
<04191> (8799)_.
And Joseph's
<03130>
ten
<06235>
brethren
<0251>
went down
<03381> (8799)
to buy
<07666> (8800)
corn
<01250>
in Egypt
<04714>_.
But Benjamin
<01144>_,
Joseph's
<03130>
brother
<0251>_,
Jacob
<03290>
sent
<07971> (8804)
not with his brethren
<0251>_;
for he said
<0559> (8804)_,
Lest peradventure
<06435>
mischief
<0611>
befall him
<07122> (8799)_.
And the sons
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
came
<0935> (8799)
to buy
<07666> (8800)
[corn] among
<08432>
those that came
<0935> (8802)_:
for the famine
<07458>
was in the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
[was] the governor
<07989>
over the land
<0776>_,
[and] he [it was] that sold
<07666> (8688)
to all the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>_:
and Joseph's
<03130>
brethren
<0251>
came
<0935> (8799)_,
and bowed down
<07812> (8691)
themselves before him [with] their faces
<0639>
to the earth
<0776>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
saw
<07200> (8799)
his brethren
<0251>_,
and he knew
<05234> (8686)
them, but made himself strange
<05234> (8691)
unto them, and spake
<01696> (8762)
roughly
<07186>
unto them; and he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Whence
<0370>
come
<0935> (8804)
ye? And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
From the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>
to buy
<07666> (8800)
food
<0400>_.
{roughly...: Heb. hard things with them}
And Joseph
<03130>
knew
<05234> (8686)
his brethren
<0251>_,
but they knew
<05234> (8689)
not him.
And Joseph
<03130>
remembered
<02142> (8799)
the dreams
<02472>
which he dreamed
<02492> (8804)
of them, and said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Ye [are] spies
<07270> (8764)_;
to see
<07200> (8800)
the nakedness
<06172>
of the land
<0776>
ye are come
<0935> (8804)_.
And they said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Nay, my lord
<0113>_,
but to buy
<07666> (8800)
food
<0400>
are thy servants
<05650>
come
<0935> (8804)_.
We
<05168>
[are] all one
<0259>
man's
<0376>
sons
<01121>_;
we [are] true
<03651>
[men], thy servants
<05650>
are no spies
<07270> (8764)_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Nay, but to see
<07200> (8800)
the nakedness
<06172>
of the land
<0776>
ye are come
<0935> (8804)_.
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thy servants
<05650>
[are] twelve
<08147> <06240>
brethren
<0251>_,
the sons
<01121>
of one
<0259>
man
<0376>
in the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_;
and, behold, the youngest
<06996>
[is] this day
<03117>
with our father
<01>_,
and one
<0259>
[is] not.
And Joseph
<03130>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, That [is it] that I spake
<01696> (8765)
unto you, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Ye [are] spies
<07270> (8764)_:
Hereby
<02063>
ye shall be proved
<0974> (8735)_:
By the life
<02416>
of Pharaoh
<06547>
ye shall not go forth
<03318> (8799)
hence, except your youngest
<06996>
brother
<0251>
come
<0935> (8800)
hither.
Send
<07971> (8798)
one
<0259>
of you, and let him fetch
<03947> (8799)
your brother
<0251>_,
and ye shall be kept in prison
<0631> (8734)_,
that your words
<01697>
may be proved
<0974> (8735)_,
whether [there be any] truth
<0571>
in
<0854>
you: or else
<03808>
by the life
<02416>
of Pharaoh
<06547>
surely ye [are] spies
<07270> (8764)_.
{kept...: Heb. bound}
And he put them all together
<0622> (8799)
into ward
<04929>
three
<07969>
days
<03117>_.
{put: Heb. gathered}
And Joseph
<03130>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them the third
<07992>
day
<03117>_,
This do
<06213> (8798)_,
and live
<02421> (8798)_;
[for] I fear
<03373>
God
<0430>_:
If ye [be] true
<03651>
[men], let one
<0259>
of your brethren
<0251>
be bound
<0631> (8735)
in the house
<01004>
of your prison
<04929>_:
go
<03212> (8798)
ye, carry
<0935> (8685)
corn
<07668>
for the famine
<07459>
of your houses
<01004>_:
But bring
<0935> (8686)
your youngest
<06996>
brother
<0251>
unto me; so shall your words
<01697>
be verified
<0539> (8735)_,
and ye shall not die
<04191> (8799)_.
And they did
<06213> (8799)
so.
And they said
<0559> (8799)
one
<0376>
to another
<0251>_,
We [are] verily
<061>
guilty
<0818>
concerning our brother
<0251>_,
in that
<0834>
we saw
<07200> (8804)
the anguish
<06869>
of his soul
<05315>_,
when he besought
<02603> (8692)
us, and we would not hear
<08085> (8804)_;
therefore is this distress
<06869>
come
<0935> (8804)
upon us.
And Reuben
<07205>
answered
<06030> (8799)
them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Spake I
<0559> (8804)
not unto you, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Do not sin
<02398> (8799)
against the child
<03206>_;
and ye would not hear
<08085> (8804)_?
therefore, behold, also his blood
<01818>
is required
<01875> (8738)_.
And they knew
<03045> (8804)
not that Joseph
<03130>
understood
<08085> (8802)
[them]; for he spake unto them by an interpreter
<03887> (8688)_.
{he spake...: Heb. an interpreter was between them}
And he turned himself about
<05437> (8735)
from them, and wept
<01058> (8799)_;
and returned to them again
<07725> (8799)_,
and communed
<01696> (8762)
with them, and took
<03947> (8799)
from them Simeon
<08095>_,
and bound
<0631> (8799)
him before their eyes
<05869>_.
Then Joseph
<03130>
commanded
<06680> (8762)
to fill
<04390> (8762)
their sacks
<03627>
with corn
<01250>_,
and to restore
<07725> (8687)
every man's
<0376>
money
<03701>
into his sack
<08242>_,
and to give
<05414> (8800)
them provision
<06720>
for the way
<01870>_:
and thus
<03651>
did he
<06213> (8799)
unto them.
And they laded
<05375> (8799)
their asses
<02543>
with the corn
<07668>_,
and departed
<03212> (8799)
thence.
And as one
<0259>
of them opened
<06605> (8799)
his sack
<08242>
to give
<05414> (8800)
his ass
<02543>
provender
<04554>
in the inn
<04411>_,
he espied
<07200> (8799)
his money
<03701>_;
for, behold, it [was] in his sack's
<0572>
mouth
<06310>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto his brethren
<0251>_,
My money
<03701>
is restored
<07725> (8717)_;
and, lo
<02009>_,
[it is] even in my sack
<0572>_:
and their heart
<03820>
failed
<03318> (8799)
[them], and they were afraid
<02729> (8799)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)
one
<0376>
to another
<0251>_,
What [is] this [that] God
<0430>
hath done
<06213> (8804)
unto us? {failed...: Heb. went forth}
And they came
<0935> (8799)
unto Jacob
<03290>
their father
<01>
unto the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_,
and told
<05046> (8686)
him all that befell
<07136> (8802)
unto them; saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The man
<0376>_,
[who is] the lord
<0113>
of the land
<0776>_,
spake
<01696> (8765)
roughly
<07186>
to us, and took
<05414> (8799)
us for spies
<07270> (8764)
of the country
<0776>_.
{roughly...: Heb. with us hard things}
And we said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, We [are] true
<03651>
[men]; we are no spies
<07270> (8764)_:
We [be] twelve
<06240> <08147>
brethren
<0251>_,
sons
<01121>
of our father
<01>_;
one
<0259>
[is] not, and the youngest
<06996>
[is] this day
<03117>
with our father
<01>
in the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_.
And the man
<0376>_,
the lord
<0113>
of the country
<0776>_,
said
<0559> (8799)
unto us, Hereby shall I know
<03045> (8799)
that ye [are] true
<03651>
[men]; leave
<03240> (8685)
one
<0259>
of your brethren
<0251>
[here] with me, and take
<03947> (8798)
[food for] the famine
<07459>
of your households
<01004>_,
and be gone
<03212> (8798)_:
And bring
<0935> (8685)
your youngest
<06996>
brother
<0251>
unto me: then shall I know
<03045> (8799)
that ye [are] no spies
<07270> (8764)_,
but [that] ye [are] true
<03651>
[men: so] will I deliver
<05414> (8799)
you your brother
<0251>_,
and ye shall traffick
<05503> (8799)
in the land
<0776>_.
And it came to pass as they emptied
<07324> (8688)
their sacks
<08242>_,
that, behold, every man's
<0376>
bundle
<06872>
of money
<03701>
[was] in his sack
<08242>_:
and when [both] they and their father
<01>
saw
<07200> (8799)
the bundles
<06872>
of money
<03701>_,
they were afraid
<03372> (8799)_.
And Jacob
<03290>
their father
<01>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Me have ye bereaved
<07921> (8765)
[of my children]: Joseph
<03130>
[is] not, and Simeon
<08095>
[is] not, and ye will take
<03947> (8799)
Benjamin
<01144>
[away]: all these things are against me.
And Reuben
<07205>
spake
<0559> (8799)
unto his father
<01>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Slay
<04191> (8686)
my two
<08147>
sons
<01121>_,
if I bring
<0935> (8686)
him not to thee: deliver
<05414> (8798)
him into my hand
<03027>_,
and I will bring him to thee again
<07725> (8686)_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
My son
<01121>
shall not go down
<03381> (8799)
with you; for his brother
<0251>
is dead
<04191> (8804)_,
and he is left
<07604> (8738)
alone: if mischief
<0611>
befall
<07122> (8804)
him by the way
<01870>
in the which ye go
<03212> (8799)_,
then shall ye bring down
<03381> (8689)
my gray hairs
<07872>
with sorrow
<03015>
to the grave
<07585>_.
And the famine
<07458>
[was] sore
<03515>
in the land
<0776>_.
And it came to pass, when they had eaten up
<03615> (8765) <0398> (8800)
the corn
<07668>
which they had brought out
<0935> (8689)
of Egypt
<04714>_,
their father
<01>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Go again
<07725> (8798)_,
buy
<07666> (8798)
us a little
<04592>
food
<0400>_.
And Judah
<03063>
spake
<0559> (8799)
unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The man
<0376>
did solemnly
<05749> (8687)
protest
<05749> (8689)
unto us, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Ye shall not see
<07200> (8799)
my face
<06440>_,
except
<01115>
your brother
<0251>
[be] with you. {did...: Heb. protesting protested}
If thou wilt
<03426>
send
<07971> (8764)
our brother
<0251>
with us, we will go down
<03381> (8799)
and buy
<07666> (8799)
thee food
<0400>_:
But if thou wilt not send
<07971> (8764)
[him], we will not go down
<03381> (8799)_:
for the man
<0376>
said
<0559> (8804)
unto us, Ye shall not see
<07200> (8799)
my face
<06440>_,
except your brother
<0251>
[be] with you.
And Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Wherefore dealt ye [so] ill
<07489> (8689)
with me, [as] to tell
<05046> (8687)
the man
<0376>
whether ye had yet a brother
<0251>_?
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
The man
<0376>
asked
<07592> (8804)
us straitly
<07592> (8800)
of our state, and of our kindred
<04138>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
[Is] your father
<01>
yet alive
<02416>_?
have ye
<03426>
[another] brother
<0251>_?
and we told
<05046> (8686)
him according
<05921>
to the tenor
<06310>
of these words
<01697>_:
could we certainly
<03045> (8800)
know
<03045> (8799)
that he would say
<0559> (8799)_,
Bring
<03381> (0)
your brother
<0251>
down
<03381> (8685)_?
{asked...: Heb. asking asked us} {tenor: Heb. mouth} {could...: Heb. knowing could we know}
And Judah
<03063>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Israel
<03478>
his father
<01>_,
Send
<07971> (8798)
the lad
<05288>
with me, and we will arise
<06965> (8799)
and go
<03212> (8799)_;
that we may live
<02421> (8799)_,
and not die
<04191> (8799)_,
both we, and thou, [and] also our little ones
<02945>_.
I will be surety
<06148> (8799)
for him; of my hand
<03027>
shalt thou require
<01245> (8762)
him: if
<0518> (0)
I bring
<0935> (8689)
him not
<0518>
unto thee, and set
<03322> (8689)
him before thee
<06440>_,
then let me bear the blame
<02398> (8804)
for ever
<03117>_:
For except
<03884>
we had lingered
<04102> (8701)_,
surely now we had returned
<07725> (8804)
this second time
<06471>_.
{this: or, twice by this}
And their father
<01>
Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, If [it must be] so now
<0645>_,
do
<06213> (8798)
this; take
<03947> (8798)
of the best fruits
<02173>
in the land
<0776>
in your vessels
<03627>_,
and carry down
<03381> (8685)
the man
<0376>
a present
<04503>_,
a little
<04592>
balm
<06875>_,
and a little
<04592>
honey
<01706>_,
spices
<05219>_,
and myrrh
<03910>_,
nuts
<0992>_,
and almonds
<08247>_:
And take
<03947> (8798)
double
<04932>
money
<03701>
in your hand
<03027>_;
and the money
<03701>
that was brought again
<07725> (8716)
in the mouth
<06310>
of your sacks
<0572>_,
carry [it] again
<07725> (8686)
in your hand
<03027>_;
peradventure it [was] an oversight
<04870>_:
Take
<03947> (8798)
also your brother
<0251>_,
and arise
<06965> (8798)_,
go again
<07725> (8798)
unto the man
<0376>_:
And God
<0410>
Almighty
<07706>
give
<05414> (8799)
you mercy
<07356>
before
<06440>
the man
<0376>_,
that he may send away
<07971> (8765)
your other
<0312>
brother
<0251>_,
and Benjamin
<01144>_.
If
<0834>
I be bereaved
<07921> (8804)
[of my children], I am bereaved
<07921> (8804)_.
{If...: or, And I, as I have been, etc.}
And the men
<0582>
took
<03947> (8799)
that
<02063>
present
<04503>_,
and they took
<03947> (8804)
double
<04932>
money
<03701>
in their hand
<03027>_,
and Benjamin
<01144>_;
and rose up
<06965> (8799)_,
and went down
<03381> (8799)
to Egypt
<04714>_,
and stood
<05975> (8799)
before
<06440>
Joseph
<03130>_.
And when Joseph
<03130>
saw
<07200> (8799)
Benjamin
<01144>
with
<0854>
them, he said
<0559> (8799)
to the ruler of his house
<01004>_,
Bring
<0935> (8685)
[these] men
<0582>
home
<01004>_,
and slay
<02873> (8800) <02874>_,
and make ready
<03559> (8685)_;
for [these] men
<0582>
shall dine
<0398> (8799)
with me at noon
<06672>_.
{slay: Heb. kill a killing} {dine: Heb. eat}
And the man
<0376>
did
<06213> (8799)
as Joseph
<03130>
bade
<0559> (8804)_;
and the man
<0376>
brought
<0935> (8686)
the men
<0582>
into Joseph's
<03130>
house
<01004>_.
And the men
<0582>
were afraid
<03372> (8799)_,
because they were brought
<0935> (8717)
into Joseph's
<03130>
house
<01004>_;
and they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Because
<01697>
of the money
<03701>
that was returned
<07725> (8802)
in our sacks
<0572>
at the first time
<08462>
are we brought in
<0935> (8716)_;
that he may seek occasion
<01556> (8705)
against us, and fall
<05307> (8692)
upon us, and take
<03947> (8800)
us for bondmen
<05650>_,
and our asses
<02543>_.
{seek...: Heb. roll himself upon us}
And they came near
<05066> (8799)
to the steward
<0376>
of Joseph's
<03130>
house
<01004>_,
and they communed
<01696> (8762)
with him at the door
<06607>
of the house
<01004>_,
And said
<0559> (8799)_,
O
<0994>
sir
<0113>_,
we came indeed
<03381> (8800)
down
<03381> (8804)
at the first time
<08462>
to buy
<07666> (8800)
food
<0400>_:
{we...: Heb. coming down we came down}
And it came to pass, when we came
<0935> (8804)
to the inn
<04411>_,
that we opened
<06605> (8799)
our sacks
<0572>_,
and, behold, [every] man's
<0376>
money
<03701>
[was] in the mouth
<06310>
of his sack
<0572>_,
our money
<03701>
in full weight
<04948>_:
and we have brought it again
<07725> (8686)
in our hand
<03027>_.
And other
<0312>
money
<03701>
have we brought down
<03381> (8689)
in our hands
<03027>
to buy
<07666> (8800)
food
<0400>_:
we cannot tell
<03045> (8804)
who put
<07760> (8804)
our money
<03701>
in our sacks
<0572>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Peace
<07965>
[be] to you, fear
<03372> (8799)
not: your God
<0430>_,
and the God
<0430>
of your father
<01>_,
hath given
<05414> (8804)
you treasure
<04301>
in your sacks
<0572>_:
I had
<0935> (8804)
your money
<03701>_.
And he brought
<03318> (8686)
Simeon
<08095>
out unto them. {I had...: Heb. your money came to me}
And the man
<0376>
brought
<0935> (8686)
the men
<0582>
into Joseph's
<03130>
house
<01004>_,
and gave
<05414> (8799)
[them] water
<04325>_,
and they washed
<07364> (8799)
their feet
<07272>_;
and he gave
<05414> (8799)
their asses
<02543>
provender
<04554>_.
And they made ready
<03559> (8686)
the present
<04503>
against
<05704>
Joseph
<03130>
came
<0935> (8800)
at noon
<06672>_:
for they heard
<08085> (8804)
that they should eat
<0398> (8799)
bread
<03899>
there.
And when Joseph
<03130>
came
<0935> (8799)
home
<01004>_,
they brought
<0935> (8686)
him the present
<04503>
which [was] in their hand
<03027>
into the house
<01004>_,
and bowed
<07812> (8691)
themselves to him to the earth
<0776>_.
And he asked
<07592> (8799)
them of [their] welfare
<07965>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
[Is] your father
<01>
well
<07965>_,
the old man
<02205>
of whom ye spake
<0559> (8804)_?
[Is] he yet alive
<02416>_?
{welfare: Heb. peace} {Is your...: Heb. Is there peace to your father?}
And they answered
<0559> (8799)_,
Thy servant
<05650>
our father
<01>
[is] in good health
<07965>_,
he [is] yet alive
<02416>_.
And they bowed down their heads
<06915> (8799)_,
and made obeisance
<07812> (8691)_.
And he lifted up
<05375> (8799)
his eyes
<05869>_,
and saw
<07200> (8799)
his brother
<0251>
Benjamin
<01144>_,
his mother's
<0517>
son
<01121>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
[Is] this your younger
<06996>
brother
<0251>_,
of whom ye spake
<0559> (8804)
unto me? And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
God
<0430>
be gracious
<02603> (8799)
unto thee, my son
<01121>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
made haste
<04116> (8762)_;
for his bowels
<07356>
did yearn
<03648> (8738)
upon his brother
<0251>_:
and he sought
<01245> (8762)
[where] to weep
<01058> (8800)_;
and he entered
<0935> (8799)
into [his] chamber
<02315>_,
and wept
<01058> (8799)
there.
And he washed
<07364> (8799)
his face
<06440>_,
and went out
<03318> (8799)_,
and refrained
<0662> (8691)
himself, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Set on
<07760> (8798)
bread
<03899>_.
And they set on
<07760> (8799)
for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians
<04713>_,
which did eat
<0398> (8802)
with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians
<04713>
might
<03201> (8799)
not eat
<0398> (8800)
bread
<03899>
with the Hebrews
<05680>_;
for that [is] an abomination
<08441>
unto the Egyptians
<04714>_.
And they sat
<03427> (8799)
before him
<06440>_,
the firstborn
<01060>
according to his birthright
<01062>_,
and the youngest
<06810>
according to his youth
<06812>_:
and the men
<0582>
marvelled
<08539> (8799)
one
<0376>
at another
<07453>_.
And he took
<05375> (8799)
[and sent] messes
<04864>
unto them from before him
<06440>_:
but Benjamin's
<01144>
mess
<04864>
was five
<02568>
times
<03027>
so much as
<07235> (8799)
any of theirs. And they drank
<08354> (8799)_,
and were merry
<07937> (8799)
with him. {were...: Heb. drank largely}
And he commanded
<06680> (8762)
the steward of his house
<01004>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Fill
<04390> (8761)
the men's
<0582>
sacks
<0572>
[with] food
<0400>_,
as much as
<0834>
they can
<03201> (8799)
carry
<05375> (8800)_,
and put
<07760> (8798)
every man's
<0376>
money
<03701>
in his sack's
<0572>
mouth
<06310>_.
{the steward...: Heb. him that was over his house}
And put
<07760> (8799)
my cup
<01375>_,
the silver
<03701>
cup
<01375>_,
in the sack's
<0572>
mouth
<06310>
of the youngest
<06996>_,
and his corn
<07668>
money
<03701>_.
And he did
<06213> (8799)
according to the word
<01697>
that Joseph
<03130>
had spoken
<01696> (8765)_.
As soon as the morning
<01242>
was light
<0215> (8804)_,
the men
<0582>
were sent away
<07971> (8795)_,
they and their asses
<02543>_.
[And] when they were gone out
<03318> (8804)
of the city
<05892>_,
[and] not [yet] far off
<07368> (8689)_,
Joseph
<03130>
said
<0559> (8804)
unto his steward
<01004>_,
Up
<06965> (8798)_,
follow
<07291> (8798)
after
<0310>
the men
<0582>_;
and when thou dost overtake
<05381> (8689)
them, say
<0559> (8804)
unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded
<07999> (8765)
evil
<07451>
for good
<02896>_?
[Is] not this [it] in which my lord
<0113>
drinketh
<08354> (8799)_,
and whereby indeed
<05172> (8763)
he divineth
<05172> (8762)_?
ye have done evil
<07489> (8689)
in so doing
<06213> (8804)_.
{divineth: or, maketh trial?}
And he overtook
<05381> (8686)
them, and he spake
<01696> (8762)
unto them these same
<0428>
words
<01697>_.
And they said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Wherefore saith
<01696> (8762)
my lord
<0113>
these words
<01697>_?
God forbid
<02486>
that thy servants
<05650>
should do
<06213> (8800)
according to this thing
<01697>_:
Behold, the money
<03701>_,
which we found
<04672> (8804)
in our sacks
<0572>_'
mouths
<06310>_,
we brought again
<07725> (8689)
unto thee out of the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_:
how then should we steal
<01589> (8799)
out of thy lord's
<0113>
house
<01004>
silver
<03701>
or gold
<02091>_?
With whomsoever of thy servants
<05650>
it be found
<04672> (8735)_,
both let him die
<04191> (8804)_,
and we also will be my lord's
<0113>
bondmen
<05650>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Now also [let] it [be] according unto your words
<01697>_:
he with whom it is found
<04672> (8735)
shall be my servant
<05650>_;
and ye shall be blameless
<05355>_.
Then they speedily
<04116> (8762)
took down
<03381> (8686)
every man
<0376>
his sack
<0572>
to the ground
<0776>_,
and opened
<06605> (8799)
every man
<0376>
his sack
<0572>_.
And he searched
<02664> (8762)_,
[and] began
<02490> (8689)
at the eldest
<01419>_,
and left
<03615> (8765)
at the youngest
<06996>_:
and the cup
<01375>
was found
<04672> (8735)
in Benjamin's
<01144>
sack
<0572>_.
Then they rent
<07167> (8799)
their clothes
<08071>_,
and laded
<06006> (8799)
every man
<0376>
his ass
<02543>_,
and returned
<07725> (8799)
to the city
<05892>_.
And Judah
<03063>
and his brethren
<0251>
came
<0935> (8799)
to Joseph's
<03130>
house
<01004>_;
for he [was] yet there: and they fell
<05307> (8799)
before him
<06440>
on the ground
<0776>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, What deed
<04639>
[is] this that ye have done
<06213> (8804)_?
wot ye
<03045> (8804)
not that such a man
<0376>
as I can certainly
<05172> (8763)
divine
<05172> (8762)_?
{divine: or, make trial?}
And Judah
<03063>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
What shall we say
<0559> (8799)
unto my lord
<0113>_?
what shall we speak
<01696> (8762)_?
or how shall we clear ourselves
<06663> (8691)_?
God
<0430>
hath found out
<04672> (8804)
the iniquity
<05771>
of thy servants
<05650>_:
behold, we [are] my lord's
<0113>
servants
<05650>_,
both we, and [he] also
<01571>
with whom
<0834> <03027>
the cup
<01375>
is found
<04672> (8738)_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
God forbid
<02486>
that I should do
<06213> (8800)
so
<02063>_:
[but] the man
<0376>
in whose hand
<03027>
the cup
<01375>
is found
<04672> (8738)_,
he shall be my servant
<05650>_;
and as for you, get you up
<05927> (8798)
in peace
<07965>
unto your father
<01>_.
Then Judah
<03063>
came near
<05066> (8799)
unto him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Oh
<0994>
my lord
<0113>_,
let thy servant
<05650>_,
I pray thee, speak
<01696> (8762)
a word
<01697>
in my lord's
<0113>
ears
<0241>_,
and let not thine anger
<0639>
burn
<02734> (8799)
against thy servant
<05650>_:
for thou [art] even as Pharaoh
<06547>_.
My lord
<0113>
asked
<07592> (8804)
his servants
<05650>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Have
<03426>
ye a father
<01>_,
or a brother
<0251>_?
And we said
<0559> (8799)
unto my lord
<0113>_,
We have
<03426>
a father
<01>_,
an old man
<02205>_,
and a child
<03206>
of his old age
<02208>_,
a little one
<06996>_;
and his brother
<0251>
is dead
<04191> (8804)_,
and he alone is left
<03498> (8735)
of his mother
<0517>_,
and his father
<01>
loveth
<0157> (8804)
him.
And thou saidst
<0559> (8799)
unto thy servants
<05650>_,
Bring him down
<03381> (8685)
unto me, that I may set
<07760> (8799)
mine eyes
<05869>
upon him.
And we said
<0559> (8799)
unto my lord
<0113>_,
The lad
<05288>
cannot
<03201> (8799)
leave
<05800> (8800)
his father
<01>_:
for [if] he should leave
<05800> (8804)
his father
<01>_,
[his father] would die
<04191> (8804)_.
And thou saidst
<0559> (8799)
unto thy servants
<05650>_,
Except
<03808>
your youngest
<06996>
brother
<0251>
come down
<03381> (8799)
with you, ye shall see
<07200> (0) <03254> (0)
my face
<06440>
no more
<07200> (8800) <03254> (8686)_.
And it came to pass when we came up
<05927> (8804)
unto thy servant
<05650>
my father
<01>_,
we told
<05046> (8686)
him the words
<01697>
of my lord
<0113>_.
And our father
<01>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go again
<07725> (8798)_,
[and] buy
<07666> (8798)
us a little
<04592>
food
<0400>_.
And we said
<0559> (8799)_,
We cannot
<03201> (8799)
go down
<03381> (8800)_:
if our youngest
<06996>
brother
<0251>
be
<03426>
with us, then will we go down
<03381> (8804)_:
for we may
<03201> (8799)
not see
<07200> (8800)
the man's
<0376>
face
<06440>_,
except
<0369>
our youngest
<06996>
brother
<0251>
[be] with us.
And thy servant
<05650>
my father
<01>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto us, Ye know
<03045> (8804)
that my wife
<0802>
bare
<03205> (8804)
me two
<08147>
[sons]:
And the one
<0259>
went out
<03318> (8799)
from me, and I said
<0559> (8799)_,
Surely
<02963> (8800)
he is torn in pieces
<02963> (8776)_;
and I saw him
<07200> (8804)
not since
<02008>_:
And if ye take
<03947> (8804)
this also from
<05973>
me
<06440>_,
and mischief
<0611>
befall him
<07136> (8804)_,
ye shall bring down
<03381> (8689)
my gray hairs
<07872>
with sorrow
<07451>
to the grave
<07585>_.
Now therefore when I come
<0935> (8800)
to thy servant
<05650>
my father
<01>_,
and the lad
<05288>
[be] not with us; seeing that his life
<05315>
is bound up
<07194> (8803)
in the lad's life
<05315>_;
It shall come to pass, when he seeth
<07200> (8800)
that the lad
<05288>
[is] not [with us], that he will die
<04191> (8804)_:
and thy servants
<05650>
shall bring down
<03381> (8689)
the gray hairs
<07872>
of thy servant
<05650>
our father
<01>
with sorrow
<03015>
to the grave
<07585>_.
For thy servant
<05650>
became surety
<06148> (8804)
for the lad
<05288>
unto
<05973>
my father
<01>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
If I bring
<0935> (8686)
him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame
<02398> (8804)
to my father
<01>
for ever
<03117>_.
Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant
<05650>
abide
<03427> (8799)
instead of the lad
<05288>
a bondman
<05650>
to my lord
<0113>_;
and let the lad
<05288>
go up
<05927> (8799)
with his brethren
<0251>_.
For how
<0349>
shall I go up
<05927> (8799)
to my father
<01>_,
and the lad
<05288>
[be] not with me? lest peradventure I see
<07200> (8799)
the evil
<07451>
that shall come on
<04672> (8799)
my father
<01>_.
{come...: Heb. find my father}

Matthew 7:13-14

Enter ye in
<1525> (5628)
at
<1223>
the strait
<4728>
gate
<4439>_:
for
<3754>
wide
<4116>
[is] the gate
<4439>_,
and
<2532>
broad
<2149>
[is] the way
<3598>_,
that leadeth
<520> (5723)
to
<1519>
destruction
<684>_,
and
<2532>
many
<4183>
there be
<1526> (5748)
which
<3588>
go in
<1525> (5740)
thereat
<1223> <846>_:
{strait: or, narrow}
Because
<3754>
strait
<4728>
[is] the gate
<4439>_,
and
<2532>
narrow
<2346> (5772)
[is] the way
<3598>_,
which
<3588>
leadeth
<520> (5723)
unto
<1519>
life
<2222>_,
and
<2532>
few
<3641>
there be
<1526> (5748)
that find
<2147> (5723)
it
<846>_.
