Genesis 31:1--34:31

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 Joseph
