Genesis 4:1--35:29

And Adam
<0120>
knew
<03045> (8804) <0853>
Eve
<02332>
his wife
<0802>_;
and she conceived
<02029> (8799)_,
and bare
<03205> (8799) <0853>
Cain
<07014>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
I have gotten
<07069> (8804)
a man
<0376>
from
<0854>
the LORD
<03068>_.
{Cain: that is, Gotten, or, Acquired}
And she again
<03254> (8686)
bare
<03205> (8800)
his brother
<0251>
Abel
<01893>_.
And Abel
<01893>
was a keeper
<07462> (8802)
of sheep
<06629>_,
but Cain
<07014>
was a tiller
<05647> (8802)
of the ground
<0127>_.
{Abel: Heb. Hebel} {a keeper: Heb. a feeder}
And in process
<07093>
of time
<03117>
it came to pass, that Cain
<07014>
brought
<0935> (8686)
of the fruit
<06529>
of the ground
<0127>
an offering
<04503>
unto the LORD
<03068>_.
{in process...: Heb. at the end of days}
And Abel
<01893>_,
he
<01931>
also brought
<0935> (8689)
of the firstlings
<01062>
of his flock
<06629>
and of the fat
<02459>
thereof. And the LORD
<03068>
had respect
<08159> (8799)
unto Abel
<01893>
and to his offering
<04503>_:
{flock: Heb. sheep, or, goats}
But unto Cain
<07014>
and to his offering
<04503>
he had not respect
<08159> (8804)_.
And Cain
<07014>
was very
<03966>
wroth
<02734> (8799)_,
and his countenance
<06440>
fell
<05307> (8799)_.
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Cain
<07014>_,
Why art thou wroth
<02734> (8804)_?
and why is thy countenance
<06440>
fallen
<05307> (8804)_?
If
<0518>
thou doest well
<03190> (8686)_,
shalt thou not be accepted
<07613>_?
and if thou doest not well
<03190> (8686)_,
sin
<02403>
lieth
<07257> (8802)
at the door
<06607>_.
And unto thee [shall be] his desire
<08669>_,
and thou shalt rule
<04910> (8799)
over him. {be accepted: or, have the excellency} {unto...: or, subject unto thee}
And Cain
<07014>
talked
<0559> (8799)
with
<0413>
Abel
<01893>
his brother
<0251>_:
and it came to pass, when they were in the field
<07704>_,
that Cain
<07014>
rose up
<06965> (8799)
against
<0413>
Abel
<01893>
his brother
<0251>_,
and slew him
<02026> (8799)_.
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Cain
<07014>_,
Where
<0335>
[is] Abel
<01893>
thy brother
<0251>_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I know
<03045> (8804)
not: [Am] I my brother's
<0251>
keeper
<08104> (8802)_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
What
<04100>
hast thou done
<06213> (8804)_?
the voice
<06963>
of thy brother's
<0251>
blood
<01818>
crieth
<06817> (8802)
unto me from the ground
<0127>_.
{blood: Heb. bloods}
And now [art] thou cursed
<0779> (8803)
from the earth
<0127>_,
which hath opened
<06475> (8804)
her mouth
<06310>
to receive
<03947> (8800)
thy brother's
<0251>
blood
<01818>
from thy hand
<03027>_;
When
<03588>
thou tillest
<05647> (8799)
the ground
<0127>_,
it shall not henceforth
<03254> (8686)
yield
<05414> (8800)
unto thee her strength
<03581>_;
a fugitive
<05128> (8801)
and a vagabond
<05110> (8802)
shalt thou be in the earth
<0776>_.
And Cain
<07014>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
My punishment
<05771>
[is] greater
<01419>
than I can bear
<05375> (8800)_.
{My...: or, Mine iniquity is greater than that it may be forgiven}
Behold, thou hast driven me out
<01644> (8765)
this day
<03117>
from the face
<06440>
of the earth
<0127>_;
and from
<05921>
thy face
<06440>
shall I be hid
<05641> (8735)_;
and I shall be a fugitive
<05128> (8801)
and a vagabond
<05110> (8802)
in the earth
<0776>_;
and it shall come to pass
<01961> (8804)_,
[that] every one that findeth me
<04672> (8802)
shall slay me
<02026> (8799)_.
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Therefore
<03651>
whosoever slayeth
<02026> (8802)
Cain
<07014>_,
vengeance shall be taken
<05358> (8714)
on him sevenfold
<07659>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
set
<07760> (8799)
a mark
<0226>
upon Cain
<07014>_,
lest
<01115>
any finding
<04672> (8802)
him should kill
<05221> (8687)
him.
And Cain
<07014>
went out
<03318> (8799)
from the presence
<06440>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and dwelt
<03427> (8799)
in the land
<0776>
of Nod
<05113>_,
on the east
<06926>
of Eden
<05731>_.
And Cain
<07014>
knew
<03045> (8799)

<0802>_;

<02585>_:

the name
<08034>
of the city
<05892>_,
after the name
<08034>
of his son
<01121>_,

unto my speech
<0565>_:
for I have slain

a man
<0376>
to my wounding
<06482>_,
and a young man
<03206>
to my hurt
<02250>_.
{I have...: or, I would slay a man in my wound, etc.} {to my hurt: or, in my hurt}
If
<03588>
Cain
<07014>
shall be avenged
<05358> (8714)

an hundred
<03967> <08141>
eighty
<08084>
and two
<08147>
years
<08141>_,
and begat
<03205> (8686)
a son
<01121>_:
And he called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Noah
<05146>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
This [same] shall comfort
<05162> (8762)
us concerning our work
<04639>
and toil
<06093>
of our hands
<03027>_,
because
<04480>
of the ground
<0127>
which the LORD
<03068>
hath cursed
<0779> (8765)_.
{Noah: Gr. Noe: that is Rest, or, Comfort}
And Lamech
<03929>
lived
<02421> (8799)
after
<0310>
he begat
<03205> (8687)
Noah
<05146>
five
<02568>
hundred
<03967> <08141>
ninety
<08673>
and five
<02568>
years
<08141>_,
and begat
<03205> (8686)
sons
<01121>
and daughters
<01323>_:
And all the days
<03117>
of Lamech
<03929>
were seven
<07651>
hundred
<03967> <08141>
seventy
<07657>
and seven
<07651>
years
<08141>_:
and he died
<04191> (8799)_.
And Noah
<05146>
was five
<02568>
hundred
<03967>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>_:
and Noah
<05146>
begat
<03205> (8686)
Shem
<08035>_,
Ham
<02526>_,
and Japheth
<03315>_.
And it came to pass, when men
<0120>
began
<02490> (8689)
to multiply
<07231> (8800)
on
<05921>
the face
<06440>
of the earth
<0127>_,
and daughters
<01323>
were born
<03205> (8795)
unto them,
That the sons
<01121>
of God
<0430>
saw
<07200> (8799)
the daughters
<01323>
of men
<0120>
that they
<02007>
[were] fair
<02896>_;
and they took
<03947> (8799)
them wives
<0802>
of all which they chose
<0977> (8804)_.
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
My spirit
<07307>
shall not always
<05769>
strive
<01777> (8799)
with man
<0120>_,
for that he also
<01571>
[is] flesh
<01320> <07683> (8800)_:
yet his days
<03117>
shall be an hundred
<03967>
and twenty
<06242>
years
<08141>_.
There were giants
<05303>
in the earth
<0776>
in those days
<03117>_;
and also after
<0310>
that
<03651>_,
when
<0834>
the sons
<01121>
of God
<0430>
came in
<0935> (8799)
unto the daughters
<01323>
of men
<0120>_,
and they bare
<03205> (8804)
[children] to them, the same
<01992>
[became] mighty men
<01368>
which [were] of old
<05769>_,
men
<0582>
of renown
<08034>_.
And GOD
<03068>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that the wickedness
<07451>
of man
<0120>
[was] great
<07227>
in the earth
<0776>_,
and [that] every imagination
<03336>
of the thoughts
<04284>
of his heart
<03820>
[was] only
<07535>
evil
<07451>
continually
<03117>_.
{every...: or, the whole imagination: the Hebrew word signifieth not only the imagination, but also the purposes and desires} {continually: Heb. every day}
And it repented
<05162> (8735)
the LORD
<03068>
that he had made
<06213> (8804)
man
<0120>
on the earth
<0776>_,
and it grieved
<06087> (8691)
him at
<0413>
his heart
<03820>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will destroy
<04229> (8799)
man
<0120>
whom I have created
<01254> (8804)
from the face
<06440>
of the earth
<0127>_;
both man
<0120>_,
and
<05704>
beast
<0929>_,
and the creeping thing
<07431>_,
and the fowls
<05775>
of the air
<08064>_;
for it repenteth
<05162> (8738)
me that I have made
<06213> (8804)
them. {both...: Heb. from man unto beast}
But Noah
<05146>
found
<04672> (8804)
grace
<02580>
in the eyes
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
These [are] the generations
<08435>
of Noah
<05146>_:
Noah
<05146>
was a just
<06662>
man
<0376>
[and] perfect
<08549>
in his generations
<01755>_,
[and] Noah
<05146>
walked
<01980> (8694)
with God
<0430>_.
{perfect: or, upright}
And Noah
<05146>
begat
<03205> (8686)
three
<07969>
sons
<01121>_,
Shem
<08035>_,
Ham
<02526>_,
and Japheth
<03315>_.
The earth
<0776>
also was corrupt
<07843> (8735)
before
<06440>
God
<0430>_,
and the earth
<0776>
was filled
<04390> (8735)
with violence
<02555>_.
And God
<0430>
looked
<07200> (8799)
upon the earth
<0776>_,
and, behold, it was corrupt
<07843> (8738)_;
for all flesh
<01320>
had corrupted
<07843> (8689)
his way
<01870>
upon the earth
<0776>_.
And God
<0430>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Noah
<05146>_,
The end
<07093>
of all flesh
<01320>
is come
<0935> (8804)
before me
<06440>_;
for the earth
<0776>
is filled with
<04390> (8804)
violence
<02555>
through them
<06440>_;
and, behold, I will destroy
<07843> (8688)
them with
<0854>
the earth
<0776>_.
{with the earth: or, from the earth}
Make
<06213> (8798)
thee an ark
<08392>
of gopher
<01613>
wood
<06086>_;
rooms
<07064>
shalt thou make
<06213> (8799)
in
<0854>
the ark
<08392>_,
and shalt pitch
<03722> (8804)
it within
<01004>
and without
<02351>
with pitch
<03724>_.
{rooms: Heb. nests}
And this [is the fashion] which thou shalt make
<06213> (8799)
it [of]: The length
<0753>
of the ark
<08392>
[shall be] three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>
cubits
<0520>_,
the breadth
<07341>
of it fifty
<02572>
cubits
<0520>_,
and the height
<06967>
of it thirty
<07970>
cubits
<0520>_.
A window
<06672>
shalt thou make
<06213> (8799)
to the ark
<08392>_,
and in a cubit
<0520>
shalt thou finish
<03615> (8762)
it above
<04605>_;
and the door
<06607>
of the ark
<08392>
shalt thou set
<07760> (8799)
in the side thereof
<06654>_;
[with] lower
<08482>_,
second
<08145>_,
and third
<07992>
[stories] shalt thou make
<06213> (8799)
it.
And, behold
<02009>_,
I
<0589>_,
even I, do bring
<0935> (8688)
a flood
<03999>
of waters
<04325>
upon the earth
<0776>_,
to destroy
<07843> (8763)
all flesh
<01320>_,
wherein [is] the breath
<07307>
of life
<02416>_,
from under
<08478>
heaven
<08064>_;
[and] every thing
<03605>
that [is] in the earth
<0776>
shall die
<01478> (8799)_.
But with thee will I establish
<06965> (8689)
my covenant
<01285>_;
and thou shalt come
<0935> (8804)
into
<0413>
the ark
<08392>_,
thou
<0859>_,
and thy sons
<01121>_,
and thy wife
<0802>_,
and thy sons
<01121>_'
wives
<0802>
with thee.
And of every living thing
<02416>
of all flesh
<01320>_,
two
<08147>
of every [sort] shalt thou bring
<0935> (8686)
into the ark
<08392>_,
to keep [them] alive
<02421> (8687)
with thee; they shall be male
<02145>
and female
<05347>_.
Of fowls
<05775>
after their kind
<04327>_,
and of cattle
<0929>
after their kind
<04327>_,
of every creeping thing
<07431>
of the earth
<0127>
after his kind
<04327>_,
two
<08147>
of every [sort] shall come
<0935> (8799)
unto thee, to keep [them] alive
<02421> (8687)_.
And take
<03947> (8798)
thou unto thee of all food
<03978>
that is eaten
<0398> (8735)_,
and thou shalt gather
<0622> (8804)
[it] to thee; and it shall be for food
<0402>
for thee, and for them.
Thus did
<06213> (8799)
Noah
<05146>_;
according to all that God
<0430>
commanded
<06680> (8765)
him, so did
<06213> (8804)
he.
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Noah
<05146>_,
Come
<0935> (8798)
thou and all thy house
<01004>
into the ark
<08392>_;
for thee have I seen
<07200> (8804)
righteous
<06662>
before me
<06440>
in this
<02088>
generation
<01755>_.
Of every clean
<02889>
beast
<0929>
thou shalt take
<03947> (8799)
to thee by sevens
<07651> <07651>_,
the male
<0376>
and his female
<0802>_:
and of beasts
<0929>
that [are] not clean
<02889> <01931>
by two
<08147>_,
the male
<0376>
and his female
<0802>_.
{by sevens: Heb. seven seven}
Of fowls
<05775>
also of the air
<08064>
by sevens
<07651> <07651>_,
the male
<02145>
and the female
<05347>_;
to keep
<02421> (0)
seed
<02233>
alive
<02421> (8763)
upon the face
<06440>
of all the earth
<0776>_.
{by sevens: Heb. seven seven}
For yet
<05750>
seven
<07651>
days
<03117>_,
and I will cause it to rain
<04305> (8688)
upon the earth
<0776>
forty
<0705>
days
<03117>
and forty
<0705>
nights
<03915>_;
and every
<03605>
living substance
<03351>
that I have made
<06213> (8804)
will I destroy
<04229> (8804)
from off
<05921>
the face
<06440>
of the earth
<0127>_.
{destroy: Heb. blot out}
And Noah
<05146>
did
<06213> (8799)
according unto all that the LORD
<03068>
commanded
<06680> (8765)
him.
And Noah
<05146>
[was] six
<08337>
hundred
<03967>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when the flood
<03999>
of waters
<04325>
was upon the earth
<0776>_.
And Noah
<05146>
went in
<0935> (8799)_,
and his sons
<01121>_,
and his wife
<0802>_,
and his sons
<01121>_'
wives
<0802>
with him, into the ark
<08392>_,
because of
<06440>
the waters
<04325>
of the flood
<03999>_.
Of clean
<02889>
beasts
<0929>_,
and of beasts
<0929>
that [are] not clean
<02889>_,
and of fowls
<05775>_,
and of every thing that creepeth
<07430> (8802)
upon the earth
<0127>_,
There went in
<0935> (8804)
two
<08147>
and two
<08147>
unto Noah
<05146>
into the ark
<08392>_,
the male
<02145>
and the female
<05347>_,
as
<0834>
God
<0430>
had commanded
<06680> (8765)
Noah
<05146>_.
And it came to pass after seven
<07651>
days
<03117>_,
that the waters
<04325>
of the flood
<03999>
were upon the earth
<0776>_.
{after...: or, on the seventh day}
In
<08141>
the six
<08337>
hundredth
<03967>
year
<08141>
of Noah's
<05146>
life
<02416>_,
in the second
<08145>
month
<02320>_,
the seventeenth
<07651> <06240>
day
<03117>
of the month
<02320>_,
the same
<02088>
day
<03117>
were all the fountains
<04599>
of the great
<07227>
deep
<08415>
broken up
<01234> (8738)_,
and the windows
<0699>
of heaven
<08064>
were opened
<06605> (8738)_.
{windows: or, floodgates}
And the rain
<01653>
was upon the earth
<0776>
forty
<0705>
days
<03117>
and forty
<0705>
nights
<03915>_.
In the selfsame
<06106>
day
<03117>
entered
<0935> (8804)
Noah
<05146>_,
and Shem
<08035>_,
and Ham
<02526>_,
and Japheth
<03315>_,
the sons
<01121>
of Noah
<05146>_,
and Noah's
<05146>
wife
<0802>_,
and the three
<07969>
wives
<0802>
of his sons
<01121>
with them, into the ark
<08392>_;
They
<01992>_,
and every beast
<02416>
after his kind
<04327>_,
and all the cattle
<0929>
after their kind
<04327>_,
and every creeping thing
<07431>
that creepeth
<07430> (8802)
upon the earth
<0776>
after his kind
<04327>_,
and every fowl
<05775>
after his kind
<04327>_,
every bird
<06833>
of every sort
<03671>_.
{sort: Heb. wing}
And they went in
<0935> (8799)
unto Noah
<05146>
into the ark
<08392>_,
two
<08147>
and two
<08147>
of all flesh
<01320>_,
wherein
<0834>
[is] the breath
<07307>
of life
<02416>_.
And they that went in
<0935> (8802)_,
went in
<0935> (8804)
male
<02145>
and female
<05347>
of all flesh
<01320>_,
as God
<0430>
had commanded
<06680> (8765)
him: and the LORD
<03068>
shut him in
<05462> (8799)_.
And the flood
<03999>
was forty
<0705>
days
<03117>
upon the earth
<0776>_;
and the waters
<04325>
increased
<07235> (8799)_,
and bare up
<05375> (8799)
the ark
<08392>_,
and it was lift up
<07311> (8799)
above the earth
<0776>_.
And the waters
<04325>
prevailed
<01396> (8799)_,
and were increased
<07235> (8799)
greatly
<03966>
upon the earth
<0776>_;
and the ark
<08392>
went
<03212> (8799)
upon the face
<06440>
of the waters
<04325>_.
And the waters
<04325>
prevailed
<01396> (8804)
exceedingly
<03966> <03966>
upon the earth
<0776>_;
and all the high
<01364>
hills
<02022>_,
that [were] under
<08478>
the whole heaven
<08064>_,
were covered
<03680> (8792)_.
Fifteen
<06240> <02568>
cubits
<0520>
upward
<04605>
did the waters
<04325>
prevail
<01396> (8804)_;
and the mountains
<02022>
were covered
<03680> (8792)_.
And all flesh
<01320>
died
<01478> (8799)
that moved
<07430> (8802)
upon the earth
<0776>_,
both of fowl
<05775>_,
and of cattle
<0929>_,
and of beast
<02416>_,
and of every creeping thing
<08318>
that creepeth
<08317> (8802)
upon the earth
<0776>_,
and every man
<0120>_:
All in whose nostrils
<0639>
[was] the breath
<05397> <07307>
of life
<02416>_,
of all that [was] in the dry
<02724>
[land], died
<04191> (8804)_.
{the breath...: Heb. the breath of the spirit of life}
And every living substance
<03351>
was destroyed
<04229> (8735)
which was upon the face
<06440>
of the ground
<0127>_,
both man
<0120>_,
and cattle
<0929>_,
and the creeping things
<07431>_,
and the fowl
<05775>
of the heaven
<08064>_;
and they were destroyed
<04229> (8735)
from the earth
<0776>_:
and Noah
<05146>
only
<0389>
remained
<07604> (8735)
[alive], and they that
<0834>
[were] with him in the ark
<08392>_.
And the waters
<04325>
prevailed
<01396> (8799)
upon the earth
<0776>
an hundred
<03967>
and fifty
<02572>
days
<03117>_.
And God
<0430>
remembered
<02142> (8799)
Noah
<05146>_,
and every living thing
<02416>_,
and all the cattle
<0929>
that [was] with him in the ark
<08392>_:
and God
<0430>
made
<05674> (0)
a wind
<07307>
to pass
<05674> (8686)
over
<05921>
the earth
<0776>_,
and the waters
<04325>
asswaged
<07918> (8799)_;
The fountains
<04599>
also of the deep
<08415>
and the windows
<0699>
of heaven
<08064>
were stopped
<05534> (8735)_,
and the rain
<01653>
from heaven
<08064>
was restrained
<03607> (8735)_;
And the waters
<04325>
returned
<07725> (8799)
from off the earth
<0776>
continually
<01980> (8800) <07725> (8800)_:
and after the end
<07097>
of the hundred
<03967>
and fifty
<02572>
days
<03117>
the waters
<04325>
were abated
<02637> (8799)_.
{continually: Heb. in going and returning}
And the ark
<08392>
rested
<05117> (8799)
in the seventh
<07637>
month
<02320>_,
on the seventeenth
<06240> <07651>
day
<03117>
of the month
<02320>_,
upon the mountains
<02022>
of Ararat
<0780>_.
And the waters
<04325>
decreased
<02637> (8800)
continually
<01980> (8800)
until
<05704>
the tenth
<06224>
month
<02320>_:
in the tenth
<06224>
[month], on the first
<0259>
[day] of the month
<02320>_,
were the tops
<07218>
of the mountains
<02022>
seen
<07200> (8738)_.
{decreased...: Heb. were in going and decreasing}
And it came to pass at the end
<07093>
of forty
<0705>
days
<03117>_,
that Noah
<05146>
opened
<06605> (8799)
the window
<02474>
of the ark
<08392>
which he had made
<06213> (8804)_:
And he sent forth
<07971> (8762)
a raven
<06158>_,
which went forth
<03318> (8799)
to
<03318> (8800)
and fro
<07725> (8800)_,
until the waters
<04325>
were dried up
<03001> (8800)
from off the earth
<0776>_.
{to...: Heb. in going forth and returning}
Also he sent forth
<07971> (8762)
a dove
<03123>
from him, to see
<07200> (8800)
if the waters
<04325>
were abated
<07043> (8804)
from off the face
<06440>
of the ground
<0127>_;
But the dove
<03123>
found
<04672> (8804)
no rest
<04494>
for the sole
<03709>
of her foot
<07272>_,
and she returned
<07725> (8799)
unto him into the ark
<08392>_,
for the waters
<04325>
[were] on the face
<06440>
of the whole earth
<0776>_:
then he put forth
<07971> (8799)
his hand
<03027>_,
and took her
<03947> (8799)_,
and pulled her in
<0935> (8686)
unto him into the ark
<08392>_.
{pulled...: Heb. caused her to come}
And he stayed
<02342> (8799)
yet other
<0312>
seven
<07651>
days
<03117>_;
and again
<03254> (8686)
he sent forth
<07971> (8763)
the dove
<03123>
out of the ark
<08392>_;
And the dove
<03123>
came in
<0935> (8799)
to him in the evening
<06256> <06153>_;
and, lo, in her mouth
<06310>
[was] an olive
<02132>
leaf
<05929>
pluckt off
<02965>_:
so Noah
<05146>
knew
<03045> (8799)
that the waters
<04325>
were abated
<07043> (8804)
from off the earth
<0776>_.
And he stayed
<03176> (8735)
yet other
<0312>
seven
<07651>
days
<03117>_;
and sent forth
<07971> (8762)
the dove
<03123>_;
which returned
<07725> (8800)
not again
<03254> (8804)
unto him any more
<05750>_.
And it came to pass in the six
<08337>
hundredth
<03967>
and first year
<08141>_,
in the first
<07223>
[month], the first
<0259>
[day] of the month
<02320>_,
the waters
<04325>
were dried up
<02717> (8804)
from off the earth
<0776>_:
and Noah
<05146>
removed
<05493> (8686)
the covering
<04372>
of the ark
<08392>_,
and looked
<07200> (8799)_,
and, behold, the face
<06440>
of the ground
<0127>
was dry
<02717> (8804)_.
And in the second
<08145>
month
<02320>_,
on the seven
<07651>
and twentieth
<06242>
day
<03117>
of the month
<02320>_,
was the earth
<0776>
dried
<03001> (8804)_.
And God
<0430>
spake
<01696> (8762)
unto Noah
<05146>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Go forth
<03318> (8798)
of the ark
<08392>_,
thou, and thy wife
<0802>_,
and thy sons
<01121>_,
and thy sons
<01121>_'
wives
<0802>
with thee.
Bring forth
<03318> (8685)
with thee every living thing
<02416>
that [is] with thee, of all flesh
<01320>_,
[both] of fowl
<05775>_,
and of cattle
<0929>_,
and of every creeping thing
<07431>
that creepeth
<07430> (8802)
upon the earth
<0776>_;
that they may breed abundantly
<08317> (8804)
in the earth
<0776>_,
and be fruitful
<06509> (8804)_,
and multiply
<07235> (8804)
upon the earth
<0776>_.
And Noah
<05146>
went forth
<03318> (8799)_,
and his sons
<01121>_,
and his wife
<0802>_,
and his sons
<01121>_'
wives
<0802>
with him:
Every beast
<02416>_,
every creeping thing
<07431>_,
and every fowl
<05775>_,
[and] whatsoever
<03605>
creepeth
<07430> (8802)
upon the earth
<0776>_,
after their kinds
<04940>_,
went forth
<03318> (8804)
out of the ark
<08392>_.
{kinds: Heb. families}
And Noah
<05146>
builded
<01129> (8799)
an altar
<04196>
unto the LORD
<03068>_;
and took
<03947> (8799)
of every clean
<02889>
beast
<0929>_,
and of every clean
<02889>
fowl
<05775>_,
and offered
<05927> (8686)
burnt offerings
<05930>
on the altar
<04196>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
smelled
<07306> (8686)
a sweet
<05207>
savour
<07381>_;
and the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
in
<0413>
his heart
<03820>_,
I will not again
<03254> (8686)
curse
<07043> (8763)
the ground
<0127>
any more for man's
<0120>
sake
<05668>_;
for the imagination
<03336>
of man's
<0120>
heart
<03820>
[is] evil
<07451>
from his youth
<05271>_;
neither will I again
<03254> (8686)
smite
<05221> (8687)
any more every thing living
<02416>_,
as I have done
<06213> (8804)_.
{a sweet...: Heb. a savour of rest or, satisfaction} {for the imagination: or, through the imagination}
While the earth
<0776>
remaineth
<03117>_,
seedtime
<02233>
and harvest
<07105>_,
and cold
<07120>
and heat
<02527>_,
and summer
<07019>
and winter
<02779>_,
and day
<03117>
and night
<03915>
shall not cease
<07673> (8799)_.
{While...: Heb. As yet all the days of the earth}
And God
<0430>
blessed
<01288> (8762)
Noah
<05146>
and his sons
<01121>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Be fruitful
<06509> (8798)_,
and multiply
<07235> (8798)_,
and replenish
<04390> (8798)
the earth
<0776>_.
And the fear of you
<04172>
and the dread of you
<02844>
shall be upon every beast
<02416>
of the earth
<0776>_,
and upon every fowl
<05775>
of the air
<08064>_,
upon all that moveth
<07430> (8799)
[upon] the earth
<0127>_,
and upon all the fishes
<01709>
of the sea
<03220>_;
into your hand
<03027>
are they delivered
<05414> (8738)_.
Every moving thing
<07431>
that liveth
<02416>
shall be meat
<0402>
for you; even as the green
<03418>
herb
<06212>
have I given
<05414> (8804)
you all things.
But
<0389>
flesh
<01320>
with the life
<05315>
thereof, [which is] the blood
<01818>
thereof, shall ye not eat
<0398> (8799)_.
And surely
<0389>
your blood
<01818>
of your lives
<05315>
will I require
<01875> (8799)_;
at the hand
<03027>
of every beast
<02416>
will I require it
<01875> (8799)_,
and at the hand
<03027>
of man
<0120>_;
at the hand
<03027>
of every man's
<0376>
brother
<0251>
will I require
<01875> (8799)
the life
<05315>
of man
<0120>_.
Whoso sheddeth
<08210> (8802)
man's
<0120>
blood
<01818>_,
by man
<0120>
shall his blood
<01818>
be shed
<08210> (8735)_:
for in the image
<06754>
of God
<0430>
made
<06213> (8804)
he man
<0120>_.
And you, be ye fruitful
<06509> (8798)_,
and multiply
<07235> (8798)_;
bring forth abundantly
<08317> (8798)
in the earth
<0776>_,
and multiply
<07235> (8798)
therein.
And God
<0430>
spake
<0559> (8799)
unto Noah
<05146>_,
and to his sons
<01121>
with him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
And I, behold, I establish
<06965> (8688)
my covenant
<01285>
with you, and with your seed
<02233>
after you
<0310>_;
And with every living
<02416>
creature
<05315>
that [is] with you, of the fowl
<05775>_,
of the cattle
<0929>_,
and of every beast
<02416>
of the earth
<0776>
with you; from all that go out
<03318> (8802)
of the ark
<08392>_,
to every beast
<02416>
of the earth
<0776>_.
And I will establish
<06965> (8689)
my covenant
<01285>
with you; neither shall all flesh
<01320>
be cut off
<03772> (8735)
any more by the waters
<04325>
of a flood
<03999>_;
neither shall there any more be a flood
<03999>
to destroy
<07843> (8763)
the earth
<0776>_.
And God
<0430>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
This [is] the token
<0226>
of the covenant
<01285>
which I
<0589>
make
<05414> (8802)
between me and you and every living
<02416>
creature
<05315>
that [is] with you, for perpetual
<05769>
generations
<01755>_:
I do set
<05414> (8804)
my bow
<07198>
in the cloud
<06051>_,
and it shall be for a token
<0226>
of a covenant
<01285>
between me and the earth
<0776>_.
And it shall come to pass, when I bring
<06049> (8763)
a cloud
<06051>
over the earth
<0776>_,
that the bow
<07198>
shall be seen
<07200> (8738)
in the cloud
<06051>_:
And I will remember
<02142> (8804)
my covenant
<01285>_,
which [is] between me and you and every living
<02416>
creature
<05315>
of all flesh
<01320>_;
and the waters
<04325>
shall no more
<05750>
become a flood
<03999>
to destroy
<07843> (8763)
all flesh
<01320>_.
And the bow
<07198>
shall be in the cloud
<06051>_;
and I will look upon it
<07200> (8804)_,
that I may remember
<02142> (8800)
the everlasting
<05769>
covenant
<01285>
between
<0996>
God
<0430>
and
<0996>
every living
<02416>
creature
<05315>
of all flesh
<01320>
that [is] upon the earth
<0776>_.
And God
<0430>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Noah
<05146>_,
This [is] the token
<0226>
of the covenant
<01285>_,
which I have established
<06965> (8689)
between me and all flesh
<01320>
that [is] upon the earth
<0776>_.
And the sons
<01121>
of Noah
<05146>_,
that went forth
<03318> (8802)
of the ark
<08392>_,
were Shem
<08035>_,
and Ham
<02526>_,
and Japheth
<03315>_:
and Ham
<02526> <01931>
[is] the father
<01>
of Canaan
<03667>_.
{Canaan: Heb. Chenaan}
These [are] the three
<07969>
sons
<01121>
of Noah
<05146>_:
and of them was the whole earth
<0776>
overspread
<05310> (8804)_.
And Noah
<05146>
began
<02490> (8686)
[to be] an husbandman
<0376> <0127>_,
and he planted
<05193> (8799)
a vineyard
<03754>_:
And he drank
<08354> (8799)
of the wine
<03196>_,
and was drunken
<07937> (8799)_;
and he was uncovered
<01540> (8691)
within
<08432>
his tent
<0168>_.
And Ham
<02526>_,
the father
<01>
of Canaan
<03667>_,
saw
<07200> (8799)
the nakedness
<06172>
of his father
<01>_,
and told
<05046> (8686)
his two
<08147>
brethren
<0251>
without
<02351>_.
And Shem
<08035>
and Japheth
<03315>
took
<03947> (8799)
a garment
<08071>_,
and laid
<07760> (8799)
[it] upon both
<08147>
their shoulders
<07926>_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
backward
<0322>_,
and covered
<03680> (8762)
the nakedness
<06172>
of their father
<01>_;
and their faces
<06440>
[were] backward
<0322>_,
and they saw
<07200> (8804)
not their father's
<01>
nakedness
<06172>_.
And Noah
<05146>
awoke
<03364> (8799)
from his wine
<03196>_,
and knew
<03045> (8799)
what his younger
<06996>
son
<01121>
had done
<06213> (8804)
unto him.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Cursed
<0779> (8803)
[be] Canaan
<03667>_;
a servant
<05650>
of servants
<05650>
shall he be unto his brethren
<0251>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Blessed
<01288> (8803)
[be] the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Shem
<08035>_;
and Canaan
<03667>
shall be
<01961> (8799)
his servant
<05650>_.
{his servant: or, servant to them}
God
<0430>
shall enlarge
<06601> (8686)
Japheth
<03315>_,
and he shall dwell
<07931> (8799)
in the tents
<0168>
of Shem
<08035>_;
and Canaan
<03667>
shall be his servant
<05650>_.
{enlarge: or, persuade}
And Noah
<05146>
lived
<02421> (8799)
after
<0310>
the flood
<03999>
three
<07969>
hundred
<03967> <08141>
and fifty
<02572>
years
<08141>_.
And all the days
<03117>
of Noah
<05146>
were nine
<08672>
hundred
<03967> <08141>
and fifty
<02572>
years
<08141>_:
and he died
<04191> (8799)_.
Now these [are] the generations
<08435>
of the sons
<01121>
of Noah
<05146>_,
Shem
<08035>_,
Ham
<02526>_,
and Japheth
<03315>_:
and unto them were sons
<01121>
born
<03205> (8735)
after
<0310>
the flood
<03999>_.

and Dodanim

{Dodanim: or, as some read it, Rodanim}
By these were the isles
<0339>
of the Gentiles
<01471>
divided in
<06504> (8738)
their lands
<0776>_;
every one
<0376>
after his tongue

<03205> (8804)
Nimrod
<05248>_:
he began
<02490> (8689)
to be
<01961> (8800)
a mighty one
<01368>
in the earth
<0776>_.
He was a mighty
<01368>
hunter
<06718>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_:
wherefore
<03651>
it is said
<0559> (8735)_,
Even as Nimrod
<05248>
the mighty
<01368>
hunter
<06718>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_.
And the beginning
<07225>
of his kingdom
<04467>
was Babel
<0894>_,
and Erech
<0751>_,
and Accad
<0390>_,
and Calneh
<03641>_,
in the land
<0776>
of Shinar
<08152>_.
{Babel: Gr. Babylon}
Out of that land
<0776>
went forth
<03318> (8804)
Asshur
<0804>_,
and builded
<01129> (8799)
Nineveh
<05210>_,
and the city
<05892>
Rehoboth
<07344>_,
and Calah
<03625>_,
{went...: or, he went out into Assyria} {the city...: or, the streets of the city}
And Resen
<07449>
between Nineveh
<05210>
and Calah
<03625>_:
the same [is] a great
<01419>
city
<05892>_.
And Mizraim
<04714>
begat
<03205> (8804)
Ludim
<03866>_,
and Anamim
<06047>_,
and Lehabim
<03853>_,
and Naphtuhim
<05320>_,
And Pathrusim
<06625>_,
and Casluhim
<03695>_,
(out of whom came
<03318> (8804)
Philistim
<06430>,)
and Caphtorim
<03732>_.
And Canaan
<03667>
begat
<03205> (8804)
Sidon
<06721>
his firstborn
<01060>_,
and Heth
<02845>_,
{Sidon: Heb. Tzidon}
And the Jebusite
<02983>_,
and the Amorite
<0567>_,
and the Girgasite
<01622>_,
And the Hivite
<02340>_,
and the Arkite
<06208>_,
and the Sinite
<05513>_,
And the Arvadite
<0721>_,
and the Zemarite
<06786>_,
and the Hamathite
<02577>_:
and afterward
<0310>
were the families
<04940>
of the Canaanites
<03669>
spread abroad
<06327> (8738)_.
And the border
<01366>
of the Canaanites
<03669>
was from Sidon
<06721>_,
as thou comest
<0935> (8800)
to Gerar
<01642>_,
unto Gaza
<05804>_;
as thou goest
<0935> (8800)_,
unto Sodom
<05467>_,
and Gomorrah
<06017>_,
and Admah
<0126>_,
and Zeboim
<06636>_,
even unto Lasha
<03962>_.
{Gaza: Heb. Azzah}
These [are] the sons
<01121>
of Ham
<02526>_,
after their families
<04940>_,
after their tongues
<03956>_,
in their countries
<0776>_,
[and] in their nations
<01471>_.
Unto Shem
<08035>
also, the father
<01>
of all the children
<01121>
of Eber
<05677>_,
the brother
<0251>
of Japheth
<03315>
the elder
<01419>_,
even to him were [children] born
<03205> (8795)_.
The children
<01121>
of Shem
<08035>_;
Elam
<05867>_,
and Asshur
<0804>_,
and Arphaxad
<0775>_,
and Lud
<03865>_,
and Aram
<0758>_.
{Arphaxad: Heb. Arpachshad}
And the children
<01121>
of Aram
<0758>_;
Uz
<05780>_,
and Hul
<02343>_,
and Gether
<01666>_,
and Mash
<04851>_.
And Arphaxad
<0775>
begat
<03205> (8804)
Salah
<07974>_;
and Salah
<07974>
begat
<03205> (8804)
Eber
<05677>_.
{Salah: Heb. Shelah}
And unto Eber
<05677>
were born
<03205> (8795)
two
<08147>
sons
<01121>_:
the name
<08034>
of one
<0259>
[was] Peleg
<06389>_;
for in his days
<03117>
was the earth
<0776>
divided
<06385> (8738)_;
and his brother's
<0251>
name
<08034>
[was] Joktan
<03355>_.
{Peleg: that is Division}
And Joktan
<03355>
begat
<03205> (8804)
Almodad
<0486>_,
and Sheleph
<08026>_,
and Hazarmaveth
<02700>_,
and Jerah
<03392>_,
And Hadoram
<01913>_,
and Uzal
<0187>_,
and Diklah
<01853>_,
And Obal
<05745>_,
and Abimael
<039>_,
and Sheba
<07614>_,
And Ophir
<0211>_,
and Havilah
<02341>_,
and Jobab
<03103>_:
all these [were] the sons
<01121>
of Joktan
<03355>_.
And their dwelling
<04186>
was from Mesha
<04852>_,
as thou goest
<0935> (8800)
unto Sephar
<05611>
a mount
<02022>
of the east
<06924>_.
These [are] the sons
<01121>
of Shem
<08035>_,
after their families
<04940>_,
after their tongues
<03956>_,
in their lands
<0776>_,
after their nations
<01471>_.
These [are] the families
<04940>
of the sons
<01121>
of Noah
<05146>_,
after their generations
<08435>_,
in their nations
<01471>_:
and by these were the nations
<01471>
divided
<06504> (8738)
in the earth
<0776>
after
<0310>
the flood
<03999>_.
And the whole earth
<0776>
was of one
<0259>
language
<08193>_,
and of one
<0259>
speech
<01697>_.
{language: Heb. lip.} {speech: Heb. words}
And it came to pass, as they journeyed
<05265> (8800)
from the east
<06924>_,
that they found
<04672> (8799)
a plain
<01237>
in the land
<0776>
of Shinar
<08152>_;
and they dwelt
<03427> (8799)
there. {from...: or, eastward}
And they said
<0559> (8799)
one
<0376>
to another
<07453>_,
Go to
<03051> (8798)_,
let us make
<03835> (8799)
brick
<03843>_,
and burn
<08313> (8799)
them throughly
<08316>_.
And they had brick
<03843>
for stone
<068>_,
and slime
<02564>
had
<01961> (8804)
they for morter
<02563>_.
{they said...: Heb. a man said to his neighbour} {burn...: Heb. burn them to a burning}
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go to
<03051> (8798)_,
let us build
<01129> (8799)
us a city
<05892>
and a tower
<04026>_,
whose top
<07218>
[may reach] unto heaven
<08064>_;
and let us make
<06213> (8799)
us a name
<08034>_,
lest we be scattered abroad
<06327> (8799)
upon the face
<06440>
of the whole earth
<0776>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
came down
<03381> (8799)
to see
<07200> (8800)
the city
<05892>
and the tower
<04026>_,
which the children
<01121>
of men
<0120>
builded
<01129> (8804)_.
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, the people
<05971>
[is] one
<0259>_,
and they have all one
<0259>
language
<08193>_;
and this they begin
<02490> (8687)
to do
<06213> (8800)_:
and now nothing
<03808> <03605>
will be restrained
<01219> (8735)
from them, which they have imagined
<02161> (8799)
to do
<06213> (8800)_.
Go to
<03051> (8798)_,
let us go down
<03381> (8799)_,
and there confound
<01101> (8799)
their language
<08193>_,
that
<0834>
they may not understand
<08085> (8799)
one
<0376>
another's
<07453>
speech
<08193>_.
So the LORD
<03068>
scattered them abroad
<06327> (8686)
from thence
<08033>
upon the face
<06440>
of all the earth
<0776>_:
and they left off
<02308> (8799)
to build
<01129> (8800)
the city
<05892>_.
Therefore is the name of it
<08034>
called
<07121> (8804)
Babel
<0894>_;
because the LORD
<03068>
did there confound
<01101> (8804)
the language
<08193>
of all the earth
<0776>_:
and from thence did
<06327> (0)
the LORD
<03068>
scatter them abroad
<06327> (8689)
upon the face
<06440>
of all the earth
<0776>_.
{Babel: that is, Confusion}

<08646>
in the land
<0776>
of his nativity
<04138>_,
in Ur

of the Chaldees
<03778>_.
And Abram
<087>
and Nahor
<05152>
took
<03947> (8799)
them wives
<0802>_:
the name
<08034>
of Abram's
<087>
wife
<0802>
[was] Sarai
<08297>_;
and the name
<08034>

But Sarai
<08297>
was barren
<06135>_;
she [had] no child

And Terah
<08646>
took
<03947> (8799)
Abram
<087>
his son
<01121>_,
and Lot
<03876>
the son
<01121>
of Haran
<02039>

<01121>
son
<01121>_,
and Sarai
<08297>
his daughter in law
<03618>_,
his son
<01121>
Abram's
<087>
wife
<0802>_;
and they went forth
<03318> (8799)
with them from Ur
<0218>
of the Chaldees
<03778>_,
to go
<03212> (8800)
into the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_;
and they came
<0935> (8799)
unto Haran
<02771>_,
and dwelt
<03427> (8799)
there.
And the days
<03117>
of Terah
<08646>
were two hundred
<03967> <08141>
and five
<02568>
years
<08141>_:
and Terah
<08646>
died
<04191> (8799)
in Haran
<02771>_.
Now the LORD
<03068>
had said
<0559> (8799)
unto Abram
<087>_,
Get thee out
<03212> (8798)
of thy country
<0776>_,
and from thy kindred
<04138>_,
and from thy father's
<01>
house
<01004>_,
unto a land
<0776>
that I will shew
<07200> (8686)
thee:
And I will make of thee
<06213> (8799)
a great
<01419>
nation
<01471>_,
and I will bless
<01288> (8762)
thee, and make
<01431> (0)
thy name
<08034>
great
<01431> (8762)_;
and thou shalt be a blessing
<01293>_:
And I will bless
<01288> (8762)
them that bless
<01288> (8764)
thee, and curse
<0779> (8799)
him that curseth
<07043> (8764)
thee: and in thee shall all families
<04940>
of the earth
<0127>
be blessed
<01288> (8738)_.
So Abram
<087>
departed
<03212> (8799)_,
as the LORD
<03068>
had spoken
<01696> (8765)
unto him; and Lot
<03876>
went
<03212> (8799)
with him: and Abram
<087>
[was] seventy
<07657> <08141>
and five
<02568>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he departed
<03318> (8800)
out of Haran
<02771>_.
And Abram
<087>
took
<03947> (8799)
Sarai
<08297>
his wife
<0802>_,
and Lot
<03876>
his brother's
<0251>
son
<01121>_,
and all their substance
<07399>
that they had gathered
<07408> (8804)_,
and the souls
<05315>
that they had gotten
<06213> (8804)
in Haran
<02771>_;
and they went forth
<03318> (8799)
to go
<03212> (8800)
into the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_;
and into the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>
they came
<0935> (8799)_.
And Abram
<087>
passed through
<05674> (8799)
the land
<0776>
unto the place
<04725>
of Sichem
<07927>_,
unto the plain
<0436>
of Moreh
<04176>_.
And the Canaanite
<03669>
[was] then
<0227>
in the land
<0776>_.
{plain: Heb. plains}
And the LORD
<03068>
appeared
<07200> (8735)
unto Abram
<087>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Unto thy seed
<02233>
will I give
<05414> (8799)
this
<02063>
land
<0776>_:
and there builded
<01129> (8799)
he an altar
<04196>
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
who appeared
<07200> (8737)
unto him.
And he removed
<06275> (8686)
from thence unto a mountain
<02022>
on the east
<06924>
of Bethel
<01008>_,
and pitched
<05186> (8799)
his tent
<0168>_,
[having] Bethel
<01008>
on the west
<03220>_,
and Hai
<05857>
on the east
<06924>_:
and there he builded
<01129> (8799)
an altar
<04196>
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
and called
<07121> (8799)
upon the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
And Abram
<087>
journeyed
<05265> (8799)_,
going on
<01980> (8800)
still
<05265> (8800)
toward the south
<05045>_.
{going...: Heb. in going and journeying}
And there was a famine
<07458>
in the land
<0776>_:
and Abram
<087>
went down
<03381> (8799)
into Egypt
<04714>
to sojourn
<01481> (8800)
there; for the famine
<07458>
[was] grievous
<03515>
in the land
<0776>_.
And it came to pass, when
<0834>
he was come near
<07126> (8689)
to enter
<0935> (8800)
into Egypt
<04714>_,
that he said
<0559> (8799)
unto Sarai
<08297>
his wife
<0802>_,
Behold
<02009>
now
<04994>_,
I know
<03045> (8804)
that thou [art] a fair
<03303>
woman
<0802>
to look upon
<04758>_:
Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians
<04713>
shall see
<07200> (8799)
thee, that they shall say
<0559> (8804)_,
This [is] his wife
<0802>_:
and they will kill
<02026> (8804)
me, but they will save thee alive
<02421> (8762)_.
Say
<0559> (8798)_,
I pray thee
<04994>_,
thou [art] my sister
<0269>_:
that
<04616>
it may be well
<03190> (8799)
with me for thy sake; and my soul
<05315>
shall live
<02421> (8804)
because of thee
<01558>_.
And it came to pass, that, when Abram
<087>
was come
<0935> (8800)
into Egypt
<04714>_,
the Egyptians
<04713>
beheld
<07200> (8799)
the woman
<0802>
that she [was] very
<03966>
fair
<03303>_.
The princes
<08269>
also of Pharaoh
<06547>
saw
<07200> (8799)
her, and commended
<01984> (8762)
her before
<0413>
Pharaoh
<06547>_:
and the woman
<0802>
was taken
<03947> (8714)
into Pharaoh's
<06547>
house
<01004>_.
And he entreated
<03190> (0)
Abram
<087>
well
<03190> (8689)
for her sake: and he had sheep
<06629>_,
and oxen
<01241>_,
and he asses
<02543>_,
and menservants
<05650>_,
and maidservants
<08198>_,
and she asses
<0860>_,
and camels
<01581>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
plagued
<05060> (8762)
Pharaoh
<06547>
and his house
<01004>
with great
<01419>
plagues
<05061>
because of
<01697>
Sarai
<08297>
Abram's
<087>
wife
<0802>_.
And Pharaoh
<06547>
called
<07121> (8799)
Abram
<087>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
What [is] this [that] thou hast done
<06213> (8804)
unto me? why didst thou not tell
<05046> (8689)
me that she [was] thy wife
<0802>_?
Why saidst thou
<0559> (8804)_,
She [is] my sister
<0269>_?
so I might have taken
<03947> (8799)
her to me to wife
<0802>_:
now therefore behold thy wife
<0802>_,
take
<03947> (8798)
[her], and go thy way
<03212> (8798)_.
And Pharaoh
<06547>
commanded
<06680> (8762)
[his] men
<0582>
concerning him: and they sent him away
<07971> (8762)_,
and his wife
<0802>_,
and all that he had.
And Abram
<087>
went up
<05927> (8799)
out of Egypt
<04714>_,
he, and his wife
<0802>_,
and all that he had, and Lot
<03876>
with him, into the south
<05045>_.
And Abram
<087>
[was] very
<03966>
rich
<03513> (8804)
in cattle
<04735>_,
in silver
<03701>_,
and in gold
<02091>_.
And he went
<03212> (8799)
on his journeys
<04550>
from the south
<05045>
even to Bethel
<01008>_,
unto the place
<04725>
where his tent
<0168>
had been
<01961> (8804)
at the beginning
<08462>_,
between Bethel
<01008>
and Hai
<05857>_;
Unto the place
<04725>
of the altar
<04196>_,
which he had made
<06213> (8804)
there at the first
<07223>_:
and there Abram
<087>
called
<07121> (8799)
on the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
And Lot
<03876>
also, which went
<01980> (8802)
with
<0854>
Abram
<087>_,
had flocks
<06629>_,
and herds
<01241>_,
and tents
<0168>_.
And the land
<0776>
was not able to bear
<05375> (8804)
them, that they might dwell
<03427> (8800)
together
<03162>_:
for their substance
<07399>
was great
<07227>_,
so that they could
<03201> (8804)
not dwell
<03427> (8800)
together
<03162>_.
And there was a strife
<07379>
between the herdmen
<07462> (8802)
of Abram's
<087>
cattle
<04735>
and the herdmen
<07462> (8802)
of Lot's
<03876>
cattle
<04735>_:
and the Canaanite
<03669>
and the Perizzite
<06522>
dwelled
<03427> (8802)
then in the land
<0776>_.
And Abram
<087>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Lot
<03876>_,
Let there be
<01961> (8799)
no
<0408>
strife
<04808>_,
I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen
<07462> (8802)
and thy herdmen
<07462> (8802)_;
for we
<0582>
[be] brethren
<0251>_.
{brethren: Heb. men brethren}
[Is] not the whole land
<0776>
before thee
<06440>_?
separate thyself
<06504> (8734)_,
I pray thee, from me: if [thou wilt take] the left hand
<08040>_,
then I will go to the right
<03231> (8686)_;
or if [thou depart] to the right hand
<03225>_,
then I will go to the left
<08041> (8686)_.
And Lot
<03876>
lifted up
<05375> (8799)
his eyes
<05869>_,
and beheld
<07200> (8799)
all the plain
<03603>
of Jordan
<03383>_,
that it [was] well watered
<04945>
every where, before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>
destroyed
<07843> (8763)
Sodom
<05467>
and Gomorrah
<06017>_,
[even] as the garden
<01588>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
like the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
as thou comest
<0935> (8800)
unto Zoar
<06820>_.
Then Lot
<03876>
chose
<0977> (8799)
him all the plain
<03603>
of Jordan
<03383>_;
and Lot
<03876>
journeyed
<05265> (8799)
east
<06924>_:
and they separated themselves
<06504> (8735)
the one
<0376>
from the other
<0251>_.
Abram
<087>
dwelled
<03427> (8804)
in the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_,
and Lot
<03876>
dwelled
<03427> (8804)
in the cities
<05892>
of the plain
<03603>_,
and pitched [his] tent
<0167> (8799)
toward
<05704>
Sodom
<05467>_.
But the men
<0582>
of Sodom
<05467>
[were] wicked
<07451>
and sinners
<02400>
before the LORD
<03068>
exceedingly
<03966>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8804)
unto Abram
<087>_,
after
<0310>
that Lot
<03876>
was separated
<06504> (8736)
from him, Lift up
<05375> (8798)
now thine eyes
<05869>_,
and look
<07200> (8798)
from the place
<04725>
where thou art northward
<06828>_,
and southward
<05045>_,
and eastward
<06924>_,
and westward
<03220>_:
For all the land
<0776>
which thou seest
<07200> (8802)_,
to thee will I give it
<05414> (8799)_,
and to thy seed
<02233>
for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_.
And I will make
<07760> (8804)
thy seed
<02233>
as the dust
<06083>
of the earth
<0776>_:
so that
<0834>
if a man
<0376>
can
<03201> (8799)
number
<04487> (8800)
the dust
<06083>
of the earth
<0776>_,
[then] shall thy seed
<02233>
also be numbered
<04487> (8735)_.
Arise
<06965> (8798)_,
walk
<01980> (8690)
through the land
<0776>
in the length
<0753>
of it and in the breadth
<07341>
of it; for I will give
<05414> (8799)
it unto thee.
Then Abram
<087>
removed [his] tent
<0167> (8799)_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
and dwelt
<03427> (8799)
in the plain
<0436>
of Mamre
<04471>_,
which [is] in Hebron
<02275>_,
and built
<01129> (8799)
there an altar
<04196>
unto the LORD
<03068>_.
{plain: Heb. plains}
And it came to pass in the days
<03117>
of Amraphel
<0569>
king
<04428>
of Shinar
<08152>_,
Arioch
<0746>
king
<04428>
of Ellasar
<0495>_,
Chedorlaomer
<03540>
king
<04428>
of Elam
<05867>_,
and Tidal
<08413>
king
<04428>
of nations
<01471>_;
[That these] made
<06213> (8804)
war
<04421>
with
<0854>
Bera
<01298>
king
<04428>
of Sodom
<05467>_,
and with Birsha
<01306>
king
<04428>
of Gomorrah
<06017>_,
Shinab
<08134>
king
<04428>
of Admah
<0126>_,
and Shemeber
<08038>
king
<04428>
of Zeboiim
<06636>_,
and the king
<04428>
of Bela
<01106>_,
which is
<01931>
Zoar
<06820>_.
All these were joined together
<02266> (8804)
in the vale
<06010>
of Siddim
<07708>_,
which
<01931>
is the salt
<04417>
sea
<03220>_.
Twelve
<06240> <08147>
years
<08141>
they served
<05647> (8804) <0853>
Chedorlaomer
<03540>_,
and in the thirteenth
<07969> <06240>
year
<08141>
they rebelled
<04775> (8804)_.
And in the fourteenth
<06240> <0702>
year
<08141>
came
<0935> (8804)
Chedorlaomer
<03540>_,
and the kings
<04428>
that [were] with him, and smote
<05221> (8686)
the Rephaims
<07497>
in Ashteroth Karnaim
<06255>_,
and the Zuzims
<02104>
in Ham
<01990>_,
and the Emims
<0368>
in Shaveh Kiriathaim
<07741>_,
{Shaveh...: or, The plain of Kiriathaim}
And the Horites
<02752>
in their mount
<02042>
Seir
<08165>_,
unto Elparan
<0364>_,
which [is] by
<05921>
the wilderness
<04057>_.
{Elparan: or, The plain of Paran}
And they returned
<07725> (8799)_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
to
<0413>
Enmishpat
<05880>_,
which [is] Kadesh
<06946>_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
all the country
<07704>
of the Amalekites
<06003>_,
and also the Amorites
<0567>_,
that dwelt
<03427> (8802)
in Hazezontamar
<02688>_.
And there went out
<03318> (8799)
the king
<04428>
of Sodom
<05467>_,
and the king
<04428>
of Gomorrah
<06017>_,
and the king
<04428>
of Admah
<0126>_,
and the king
<04428>
of Zeboiim
<06636>_,
and the king
<04428>
of Bela
<01106>
(the same
<01931>
[is] Zoar
<06820>;)
and they joined
<06186> (8799)
battle
<04421>
with them in the vale
<06010>
of Siddim
<07708>_;
With Chedorlaomer
<03540>
the king
<04428>
of Elam
<05867>_,
and with Tidal
<08413>
king
<04428>
of nations
<01471>_,
and Amraphel
<0569>
king
<04428>
of Shinar
<08152>_,
and Arioch
<0746>
king
<04428>
of Ellasar
<0495>_;
four
<0702>
kings
<04428>
with five
<02568>_.
And the vale
<06010>
of Siddim
<07708>
[was full of]
<0875>
slimepits
<0875> <02564>_;
and the kings
<04428>
of Sodom
<05467>
and Gomorrah
<06017>
fled
<05127> (8799)_,
and fell
<05307> (8799)
there; and they that remained
<07604> (8737)
fled
<05127> (8804)
to the mountain
<02022>_.
And they took
<03947> (8799)
all the goods
<07399>
of Sodom
<05467>
and Gomorrah
<06017>_,
and all their victuals
<0400>_,
and went their way
<03212> (8799)_.
And they took
<03947> (8799)
Lot
<03876>_,
Abram's
<087>
brother's
<0251>
son
<01121>_,
who dwelt
<03427> (8802)
in Sodom
<05467>_,
and his goods
<07399>_,
and departed
<03212> (8799)_.
And there came
<0935> (8799)
one that had escaped
<06412>_,
and told
<05046> (8686)
Abram
<087>
the Hebrew
<05680>_;
for he dwelt
<07931> (8802)
in the plain
<0436>
of Mamre
<04471>
the Amorite
<0567>_,
brother
<0251>
of Eshcol
<0812>_,
and brother
<0251>
of Aner
<06063>_:
and these [were] confederate
<01167> <01285>
with Abram
<087>_.
{plain: Heb. plains}
And when Abram
<087>
heard
<08085> (8799)
that his brother
<0251>
was taken captive
<07617> (8738)_,
he armed
<07324> (8686)
his trained
<02593>
[servants], born
<03211>
in his own house
<01004>_,
three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>
and eighteen
<06240> <08083>_,
and pursued
<07291> (8799)
[them] unto Dan
<01835>_.
{armed: or, led forth} {trained: or, instructed}
And he divided
<02505> (8735)
himself against them, he and his servants
<05650>_,
by night
<03915>_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
them, and pursued
<07291> (8799)
them unto Hobah
<02327>_,
which [is] on the left hand
<08040>
of Damascus
<01834>_.
And he brought back
<07725> (8686)
all the goods
<07399>_,
and also brought again
<07725> (8689)
his brother
<0251>
Lot
<03876>_,
and his goods
<07399>_,
and the women
<0802>
also, and the people
<05971>_.
And the king
<04428>
of Sodom
<05467>
went out
<03318> (8799)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
him after
<0310>
his return
<07725> (8800)
from the slaughter
<05221> (8687)
of Chedorlaomer
<03540>_,
and of the kings
<04428>
that [were] with him, at the valley
<06010>
of Shaveh
<07740>_,
which
<01931>
[is] the king's
<04428>
dale
<06010>_.
And Melchizedek
<04442>
king
<04428>
of Salem
<08004>
brought forth
<03318> (8689)
bread
<03899>
and wine
<03196>_:
and he [was] the priest
<03548>
of the most high
<05945>
God
<0410>_.
And he blessed
<01288> (8762)
him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Blessed
<01288> (8803)
[be] Abram
<087>
of the most high
<05945>
God
<0410>_,
possessor
<07069> (8802)
of heaven
<08064>
and earth
<0776>_:
And blessed
<01288> (8803)
be the most high
<05945>
God
<0410>_,
which hath delivered
<04042> (8765)
thine enemies
<06862>
into thy hand
<03027>_.
And he gave
<05414> (8799)
him tithes
<04643>
of all.
And the king
<04428>
of Sodom
<05467>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Abram
<087>_,
Give
<05414> (8798)
me the persons
<05315>_,
and take
<03947> (8798)
the goods
<07399>
to thyself. {persons: Heb. souls}
And Abram
<087>
said
<0559> (8799)
to the king
<04428>
of Sodom
<05467>_,
I have lift up
<07311> (8689)
mine hand
<03027>
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
the most high
<05945>
God
<0410>_,
the possessor
<07069> (8802)
of heaven
<08064>
and earth
<0776>_,
That I will not
<0518>
[take] from a thread
<02339>
even to a shoelatchet
<05275> <08288>_,
and that I will not
<0518>
take
<03947> (8799)
any thing that [is] thine, lest thou shouldest say
<0559> (8799)_,
I have made
<06238> (0)
Abram
<087>
rich
<06238> (8689)_:
Save
<01107>
only that which
<0834>
the young men
<05288>
have eaten
<0398> (8804)_,
and the portion
<02506>
of the men
<0582>
which went
<01980> (8804)
with
<0854>
me, Aner
<06063>_,
Eshcol
<0812>_,
and Mamre
<04471>_;
let them
<01992>
take
<03947> (8799)
their portion
<02506>_.
After
<0310>
these things
<01697>
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came
<01961> (8804)
unto Abram
<087>
in a vision
<04236>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Fear
<03372> (8799)
not, Abram
<087>_:
I [am] thy shield
<04043>_,
[and] thy exceeding
<03966>
great
<07235> (8687)
reward
<07939>_.
And Abram
<087>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
what wilt thou give
<05414> (8799)
me, seeing I go
<01980> (8802)
childless
<06185>_,
and the steward
<01121> <04943>
of my house
<01004>
[is] this
<01931>
Eliezer
<0461>
of Damascus
<01834>_?
And Abram
<087>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, to me thou hast given
<05414> (8804)
no
<03808>
seed
<02233>_:
and, lo, one born
<01121>
in my house
<01004>
is mine heir
<03423> (8802)_.
And, behold, the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
[came] unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
This shall not be thine heir
<03423> (8799)_;
but he that shall come forth
<03318> (8799)
out of thine own bowels
<04578>
shall be thine heir
<03423> (8799)_.
And he brought him forth
<03318> (8686)
abroad
<02351>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Look
<05027> (8685)
now toward heaven
<08064>_,
and tell
<05608> (8798)
the stars
<03556>_,
if thou be able
<03201> (8799)
to number
<05608> (8800)
them: and he said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, So
<03541>
shall thy seed
<02233>
be.
And he believed
<0539> (8689)
in the LORD
<03068>_;
and he counted
<02803> (8799)
it to him for righteousness
<06666>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, I [am] the LORD
<03068>
that brought thee out
<03318> (8689)
of Ur
<0218>
of the Chaldees
<03778>_,
to give
<05414> (8800)
thee this land
<0776>
to inherit
<03423> (8800)
it.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
whereby
<04100>
shall I know
<03045> (8799)
that I shall inherit it
<03423> (8799)_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Take
<03947> (8798)
me an heifer
<05697>
of three years old
<08027> (8794)_,
and a she goat
<05795>
of three years old
<08027> (8794)_,
and a ram
<0352>
of three years old
<08027> (8794)_,
and a turtledove
<08449>_,
and a young pigeon
<01469>_.
And he took
<03947> (8799)
unto him all these, and divided
<01334> (8762)
them in the midst
<08432>_,
and laid
<05414> (8799)
each
<0376>
piece
<01335>
one against
<07125> (8800)
another
<07453>_:
but the birds
<06833>
divided
<01334> (8804)
he not.
And when the fowls
<05861>
came down
<03381> (8799)
upon the carcases
<06297>_,
Abram
<087>
drove them away
<05380> (8686)_.
And when the sun
<08121>
was going down
<0935> (8800)_,
a deep sleep
<08639>
fell
<05307> (8804)
upon Abram
<087>_;
and, lo, an horror
<0367>
of great
<01419>
darkness
<02825>
fell
<05307> (8802)
upon him.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto Abram
<087>_,
Know
<03045> (8799)
of a surety
<03045> (8800)
that thy seed
<02233>
shall be a stranger
<01616>
in a land
<0776>
[that is] not theirs, and shall serve
<05647> (8804)
them; and they shall afflict
<06031> (8765)
them four
<0702>
hundred
<03967>
years
<08141>_;
And also that nation
<01471>_,
whom they shall serve
<05647> (8799)_,
will I judge
<01777> (8802)_:
and afterward
<0310> <03651>
shall they come out
<03318> (8799)
with great
<01419>
substance
<07399>_.
And thou shalt go
<0935> (8799)
to thy fathers
<01>
in peace
<07965>_;
thou shalt be buried
<06912> (8735)
in a good
<02896>
old age
<07872>_.
But in the fourth
<07243>
generation
<01755>
they shall come hither
<02008>
again
<07725> (8799)_:
for the iniquity
<05771>
of the Amorites
<0567>
[is] not yet
<02008>
full
<08003>_.
And it came to pass, that, when the sun
<08121>
went down
<0935> (8804)_,
and it was dark
<05939>_,
behold a smoking
<06227>
furnace
<08574>_,
and a burning
<0784>
lamp
<03940>
that passed
<05674> (8804)
between
<0996>
those pieces
<01506>_.
{a burning...: Heb. a lamp of fire}
In the same
<01931>
day
<03117>
the LORD
<03068>
made
<03772> (8804)
a covenant
<01285>
with Abram
<087>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Unto thy seed
<02233>
have I given
<05414> (8804)
this land
<0776>_,
from the river
<05104>
of Egypt
<04714>
unto the great
<01419>
river
<05104>_,
the river
<05104>
Euphrates
<06578>_:
The Kenites
<07017>_,
and the Kenizzites
<07074>_,
and the Kadmonites
<06935>_,
And the Hittites
<02850>_,
and the Perizzites
<06522>_,
and the Rephaims
<07497>_,
And the Amorites
<0567>_,
and the Canaanites
<03669>_,
and the Girgashites
<01622>_,
and the Jebusites
<02983>_.
Now Sarai
<08297>
Abram's
<087>
wife
<0802>
bare
<03205> (0)
him no
<03808>
children
<03205> (8804)_:
and she had an handmaid
<08198>_,
an Egyptian
<04713>_,
whose name
<08034>
[was] Hagar
<01904>_.
And Sarai
<08297>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Abram
<087>_,
Behold now, the LORD
<03068>
hath restrained me
<06113> (8804)
from bearing
<03205> (8800)_:
I pray thee, go in
<0935> (8798)
unto my maid
<08198>_;
it may
<0194>
be that I may obtain children
<01129> (8735)
by her. And Abram
<087>
hearkened
<08085> (8799)
to the voice
<06963>
of Sarai
<08297>_.
{obtain...: Heb. be built by her}
And Sarai
<08297>
Abram's
<087>
wife
<0802>
took
<03947> (8799)
Hagar
<01904>
her maid
<08198>
the Egyptian
<04713>_,
after
<07093>
Abram
<087>
had dwelt
<03427> (8800)
ten
<06235>
years
<08141>
in the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_,
and gave
<05414> (8799)
her to her husband
<0376>
Abram
<087>
to be his wife
<0802>_.
And he went in
<0935> (8799)
unto Hagar
<01904>_,
and she conceived
<02029> (8799)_:
and when she saw
<07200> (8799)
that she had conceived
<02029> (8804)_,
her mistress
<01404>
was despised
<07043> (8799)
in her eyes
<05869>_.
And Sarai
<08297>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Abram
<087>_,
My wrong
<02555>
[be] upon thee: I have given
<05414> (8804)
my maid
<08198>
into thy bosom
<02436>_;
and when she saw
<07200> (8799)
that she had conceived
<02029> (8804)_,
I was despised
<07043> (8799)
in her eyes
<05869>_:
the LORD
<03068>
judge
<08199> (8799)
between me and thee.
But Abram
<087>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Sarai
<08297>_,
Behold, thy maid
<08198>
[is] in thy hand
<03027>_;
do
<06213> (8798)
to her as it pleaseth thee
<02896> <05869>_.
And when Sarai
<08297>
dealt hardly with
<06031> (8762)
her, she fled
<01272> (8799)
from her face
<06440>_.
{as...: Heb. that which is good in thine eyes} {dealt...: Heb. afflicted her}
And the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
found her
<04672> (8799)
by a fountain
<05869>
of water
<04325>
in the wilderness
<04057>_,
by the fountain
<05869>
in the way
<01870>
to Shur
<07793>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Hagar
<01904>_,
Sarai's
<08297>
maid
<08198>_,
whence
<0335>
camest thou
<0935> (8804)_?
and whither wilt thou go
<03212> (8799)_?
And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
I flee
<01272> (8802)
from the face
<06440>
of my mistress
<01404>
Sarai
<08297>_.
And the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, Return
<07725> (8798)
to thy mistress
<01404>_,
and submit
<06031> (8690)
thyself under her hands
<03027>_.
And the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, I will multiply
<07235> (8686)
thy seed
<02233>
exceedingly
<07235> (8687)_,
that it shall not be numbered
<05608> (8735)
for multitude
<07230>_.
And the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, Behold
<02009>_,
thou [art] with child
<02030>_,
and shalt bear
<03205> (8802)
a son
<01121>_,
and shalt call
<07121> (8804)
his name
<08034>
Ishmael
<03458>_;
because the LORD
<03068>
hath heard
<08085> (8804)
thy affliction
<06040>_.
{Ishmael: that is, God shall hear}
And he will be a wild
<06501>
man
<0120>_;
his hand
<03027>
[will be] against every man, and every man's hand
<03027>
against him; and he shall dwell
<07931> (8799)
in the presence
<06440>
of all his brethren
<0251>_.
And she called
<07121> (8799)
the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>
that spake
<01696> (8802)
unto her, Thou God
<0410>
seest me
<07210>_:
for she said
<0559> (8804)_,
Have I also here
<01988>
looked
<07200> (8804)
after him
<0310>
that seeth me
<07210>_?
Wherefore the well
<0875>
was called
<07121> (8804)
Beerlahairoi
<0883> <02416>_;
behold, [it is] between Kadesh
<06946>
and Bered
<01260>_.
{Beerlahairoi: that is, The well of him that liveth and seeth me}
And Hagar
<01904>
bare
<03205> (8799)
Abram
<087>
a son
<01121>_:
and Abram
<087>
called
<07121> (8799)
his son's
<01121>
name
<08034>_,
which Hagar
<01904>
bare
<03205> (8804)_,
Ishmael
<03458>_.
And Abram
<087>
[was] fourscore
<08084> <08141>
and six
<08337>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>_,
when Hagar
<01904>
bare
<03205> (8800)
Ishmael
<03458>
to Abram
<087>_.
And when Abram
<087>
was ninety
<08673> <08141>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
and nine
<08672>_,
the LORD
<03068>
appeared
<07200> (8735)
to Abram
<087>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, I [am] the Almighty
<07706>
God
<0410>_;
walk
<01980> (8690)
before me
<06440>_,
and be thou perfect
<08549>_.
{perfect: or, upright, or, sincere}
And I will make
<05414> (8799)
my covenant
<01285>
between me and thee, and will multiply
<07235> (8686)
thee exceedingly
<03966> <03966>_.
And Abram
<087>
fell
<05307> (8799)
on his face
<06440>_:
and God
<0430>
talked
<01696> (8762)
with him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
As for me
<0589>_,
behold, my covenant
<01285>
[is] with thee, and thou shalt be a father
<01>
of many
<01995>
nations
<01471>_.
{many...: Heb. multitude of nations}
Neither shall thy name
<08034>
any more be called
<07121> (8735)
Abram
<087>_,
but thy name
<08034>
shall be Abraham
<085>_;
for a father
<01>
of many
<01995>
nations
<01471>
have I made thee
<05414> (8804)_.
{Abraham: that is, Father of a great multitude}
And I will make
<06509> (0)
thee exceeding
<03966> <03966>
fruitful
<06509> (8689)_,
and I will make
<05414> (8804)
nations
<01471>
of thee, and kings
<04428>
shall come out
<03318> (8799)
of thee.
And I will establish
<06965> (8689)
my covenant
<01285>
between me and thee and thy seed
<02233>
after thee
<0310>
in their generations
<01755>
for an everlasting
<05769>
covenant
<01285>_,
to be a God
<0430>
unto thee, and to thy seed
<02233>
after thee
<0310>_.
And I will give
<05414> (8804)
unto thee, and to thy seed
<02233>
after thee
<0310>_,
the land
<0776>
wherein thou art a stranger
<04033>_,
all the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_,
for an everlasting
<05769>
possession
<0272>_;
and I will be their God
<0430>_.
{wherein...: Heb. of thy sojournings}
And God
<0430>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Abraham
<085>_,
Thou shalt keep
<08104> (8799)
my covenant
<01285>
therefore, thou, and thy seed
<02233>
after thee
<0310>
in their generations
<01755>_.
This [is] my covenant
<01285>_,
which ye shall keep
<08104> (8799)_,
between me and you and thy seed
<02233>
after thee
<0310>_;
Every man child
<02145>
among you shall be circumcised
<04135> (8736)_.
And ye shall circumcise
<05243> (8804)
the flesh
<01320>
of your foreskin
<06190>_;
and it shall be a token
<0226>
of the covenant
<01285>
betwixt me and you.
And he that is eight
<08083>
days
<03117>
old
<01121>
shall be circumcised
<04135> (8735)
among you, every man child
<02145>
in your generations
<01755>_,
he that is born
<03211>
in the house
<01004>_,
or bought
<04736>
with money
<03701>
of any stranger
<01121> <05236>_,
which [is] not of thy seed
<02233>_.
{he that is eight...: Heb. a son of eight days}
He that is born
<03211>
in thy house
<01004>_,
and he that is bought
<04736>
with thy money
<03701>_,
must needs
<04135> (8736)
be circumcised
<04135> (8735)_:
and my covenant
<01285>
shall be in your flesh
<01320>
for an everlasting
<05769>
covenant
<01285>_.
And the uncircumcised
<06189>
man child
<02145>
whose
<0834>
flesh
<01320>
of his foreskin
<06190>
is not circumcised
<04135> (8735)_,
that soul
<05315>
shall be cut off
<03772> (8738)
from his people
<05971>_;
he hath broken
<06565> (8689)
my covenant
<01285>_.
And God
<0430>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Abraham
<085>_,
As for Sarai
<08297>
thy wife
<0802>_,
thou shalt not call
<07121> (8799)
her name
<08034>
Sarai
<08297>_,
but
<03588>
Sarah
<08283>
[shall] her name
<08034>
[be]. {Sarah: that is Princess}
And I will bless
<01288> (8765)
her, and give
<05414> (8804)
thee a son
<01121>
also of her: yea, I will bless
<01288> (8765)
her, and she shall be [a mother] of nations
<01471>_;
kings
<04428>
of people
<05971>
shall be of her. {she...: Heb. she shall become nations}
Then Abraham
<085>
fell
<05307> (8799)
upon his face
<06440>_,
and laughed
<06711> (8799)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
in his heart
<03820>_,
Shall [a child] be born
<03205> (8735)
unto him that is an hundred
<03967>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>_?
and shall Sarah
<08283>_,
that is ninety
<08673>
years
<08141>
old
<01323>_,
bear
<03205> (8799)_?
And Abraham
<085>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto God
<0430>_,
O that
<03863>
Ishmael
<03458>
might live
<02421> (8799)
before thee
<06440>_!
And God
<0430>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Sarah
<08283>
thy wife
<0802>
shall bear
<03205> (8802)
thee a son
<01121>
indeed
<061>_;
and thou shalt call
<07121> (8804)
his name
<08034>
Isaac
<03327>_:
and I will establish
<06965> (8689)
my covenant
<01285>
with him for an everlasting
<05769>
covenant
<01285>_,
[and] with his seed
<02233>
after him
<0310>_.
And as for Ishmael
<03458>_,
I have heard thee
<08085> (8804)_:
Behold, I have blessed
<01288> (8765)
him, and will make him fruitful
<06509> (8689)_,
and will multiply
<07235> (8689)
him exceedingly
<03966> <03966>_;
twelve
<06240> <08147>
princes
<05387>
shall he beget
<03205> (8686)_,
and I will make him
<05414> (8804)
a great
<01419>
nation
<01471>_.
But my covenant
<01285>
will I establish
<06965> (8686)
with Isaac
<03327>_,
which Sarah
<08283>
shall bear
<03205> (8799)
unto thee at this set time
<04150>
in the next
<0312>
year
<08141>_.
And he left off
<03615> (8762)
talking
<01696> (8763)
with him, and God
<0430>
went up
<05927> (8799)
from Abraham
<085>_.
And Abraham
<085>
took
<03947> (8799)
Ishmael
<03458>
his son
<01121>_,
and all that were born
<03211>
in his house
<01004>_,
and all that were bought
<04736>
with his money
<03701>_,
every male
<02145>
among the men
<0582>
of Abraham's
<085>
house
<01004>_;
and circumcised
<04135> (8799)
the flesh
<01320>
of their foreskin
<06190>
in the selfsame
<06106>
day
<03117>_,
as God
<0430>
had said
<01696> (8765)
unto him.
And Abraham
<085>
[was] ninety
<08673>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
and nine
<08672>_,
when he was circumcised
<04135> (8736)
in the flesh
<01320>
of his foreskin
<06190>_.
And Ishmael
<03458>
his son
<01121>
[was] thirteen
<06240> <07969>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>_,
when he was circumcised
<04135> (8736)
in the flesh
<01320>
of his foreskin
<06190>_.
In the selfsame
<06106>
day
<03117>
was Abraham
<085>
circumcised
<04135> (8738)_,
and Ishmael
<03458>
his son
<01121>_.
And all the men
<0582>
of his house
<01004>_,
born
<03211>
in the house
<01004>_,
and bought
<04736>
with money
<03701>
of the stranger
<01121> <05236>_,
were circumcised
<04135> (8738)
with him.
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>_:
The sons
<01121>
of Leah
<03812>_;
Reuben
<07205>_,
Jacob's
<03290>
firstborn
<01060>_,
and Simeon
<08095>_,
and Levi
<03878>_,
and Judah
<03063>_,
and Issachar
<03485>_,
and Zebulun
<02074>_:
The sons
<01121>
of Rachel
<07354>_;
Joseph
<03130>_,
and Benjamin
<01144>_:
And the sons
<01121>
of Bilhah
<01090>_,
Rachel's
<07354>
handmaid
<08198>_;
Dan
<01835>_,
and Naphtali
<05321>_:
And the sons
<01121>
of Zilpah
<02153>_,
Leah's
<03812>
handmaid
<08198>_;
Gad
<01410>_,
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.

Isaiah 53:6

All we like sheep
<06629>
have gone astray
<08582> (8804)_;
we have turned
<06437> (8804)
every one
<0376>
to his own way
<01870>_;
and the LORD
<03068>
hath laid
<06293> (8689)
on him the iniquity
<05771>
of us all. {laid...: Heb. made the iniquity of us all to meet on him}
