Genesis 37:1--42:38

And Jacob
<03290>
dwelt
<03427> (8799)
in the land
<0776>
wherein his father
<01>
was a stranger
<04033>_,
in the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_.
{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>_.

Genesis 23:1

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>_.

Numbers 18:1-6

And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Aaron
<0175>_,
Thou and thy sons
<01121>
and thy father's
<01>
house
<01004>
with thee shall bear
<05375> (8799)
the iniquity
<05771>
of the sanctuary
<04720>_:
and thou and thy sons
<01121>
with thee shall bear
<05375> (8799)
the iniquity
<05771>
of your priesthood
<03550>_.
And thy brethren
<0251>
also of the tribe
<04294>
of Levi
<03878>_,
the tribe
<07626>
of thy father
<01>_,
bring
<07126> (8685)
thou with thee, that they may be joined
<03867> (8735)
unto thee, and minister
<08334> (8762)
unto thee: but thou and thy sons
<01121>
with thee [shall minister] before
<06440>
the tabernacle
<0168>
of witness
<05715>_.
And they shall keep
<08104> (8804)
thy charge
<04931>_,
and the charge
<04931>
of all the tabernacle
<0168>_:
only they shall not come nigh
<07126> (8799)
the vessels
<03627>
of the sanctuary
<06944>
and the altar
<04196>_,
that neither they, nor ye also, die
<04191> (8799)_.
And they shall be joined
<03867> (8738)
unto thee, and keep
<08104> (8804)
the charge
<04931>
of the tabernacle
<0168>
of the congregation
<04150>_,
for all the service
<05656>
of the tabernacle
<0168>_:
and a stranger
<02114> (8801)
shall not come nigh
<07126> (8799)
unto you.
And ye shall keep
<08104> (8804)
the charge
<04931>
of the sanctuary
<06944>_,
and the charge
<04931>
of the altar
<04196>_:
that there be no wrath
<07110>
any more upon the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_.
And I, behold, I have taken
<03947> (8804)
your brethren
<0251>
the Levites
<03881>
from among
<08432>
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_:
to you [they are] given
<05414> (8803)
[as] a gift
<04979>
for the LORD
<03068>_,
to do
<05647> (8800)
the service
<05656>
of the tabernacle
<0168>
of the congregation
<04150>_.
