Genesis 29:1--30:43

29:1

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}

29:2

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>_.

29:3

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>_.

29:4

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.

29:5

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].

29:6

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?}

29:7

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}

29:8

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>_.

29:9

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)_.

29:10

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>_.

29:11

And Jacob
<03290>

kissed
<05401> (8799)

Rachel
<07354>_,

and lifted up
<05375> (8799)

his voice
<06963>_,

and wept
<01058> (8799)_.

29:12

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>_.

29:13

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}

29:14

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}

29:15

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]?

29:16

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>_.

29:17

Leah
<03812>

[was] tender
<07390>

eyed
<05869>_;

but Rachel
<07354>

was beautiful
<03303> <08389>

and well
<03303>

favoured
<04758>_.

29:18

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>_.

29:19

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.

29:20

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.

29:21

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.

29:22

And Laban
<03837>

gathered together
<0622> (8799)

all the men
<0582>

of the place
<04725>_,

and made
<06213> (8799)

a feast
<04960>_.

29:23

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.

29:24

And Laban
<03837>

gave
<05414> (8799)

unto his daughter
<01323>

Leah
<03812>

Zilpah
<02153>

his maid
<08198>

[for] an handmaid
<08198>_.

29:25

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?

29:26

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}

29:27

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>_.

29:28

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.

29:29

And Laban
<03837>

gave
<05414> (8799)

to Rachel
<07354>

his daughter
<01323>

Bilhah
<01090>

his handmaid
<08198>

to be her maid
<08198>_.

29:30

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>_.

29:31

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>_.

29:32

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}

29:33

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}

29:34

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}

29:35

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}

30:1

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)_.

30:2

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>_?

30:3

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}

30:4

And she gave
<05414> (8799)

him Bilhah
<01090>

her handmaid
<08198>

to wife
<0802>_:

and Jacob
<03290>

went in
<0935> (8799)

unto her.

30:5

And Bilhah
<01090>

conceived
<02029> (8799)_,

and bare
<03205> (8799)

Jacob
<03290>

a son
<01121>_.

30:6

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}

30:7

And Bilhah
<01090>

Rachel's
<07354>

maid
<08198>

conceived
<02029> (8799)

again, and bare
<03205> (8799)

Jacob
<03290>

a second
<08145>

son
<01121>_.

30:8

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}

30:9

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>_.

30:10

And Zilpah
<02153>

Leah's
<03812>

maid
<08198>

bare
<03205> (8799)

Jacob
<03290>

a son
<01121>_.

30:11

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}

30:12

And Zilpah
<02153>

Leah's
<03812>

maid
<08198>

bare
<03205> (8799)

Jacob
<03290>

a second
<08145>

son
<01121>_.

30:13

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}

30:14

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>_.

30:15

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>_.

30:16

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>_.

30:17

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>_.

30:18

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}

30:19

And Leah
<03812>

conceived
<02029> (8799)

again, and bare
<03205> (8799)

Jacob
<03290>

the sixth
<08345>

son
<01121>_.

30:20

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}

30:21

And afterwards
<0310>

she bare
<03205> (8804)

a daughter
<01323>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

her name
<08034>

Dinah
<01783>_.

{Dinah: that is Judgment}

30:22

And God
<0430>

remembered
<02142> (8799)

Rachel
<07354>_,

and God
<0430>

hearkened
<08085> (8799)

to her, and opened
<06605> (8799)

her womb
<07358>_.

30:23

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>_:

30:24

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}

30:25

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>_.

30:26

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.

30:27

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>_.

30:28

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Appoint
<05344> (8798)

me thy wages
<07939>_,

and I will give
<05414> (8799)

[it].

30:29

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.

30:30

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}

30:31

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>_:

30:32

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>_.

30:33

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}

30:34

And Laban
<03837>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, I would it might be
<03863>

according to thy word
<01697>_.

30:35

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>_.

30:36

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>_.

30:37

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>_.

30:38

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)_.

30:39

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)_.

30:40

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>_.

30:41

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>_.

30:42

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>_.

30:43

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>_.

Genesis 49:1-33

49:1

And Jacob
<03290>

called
<07121> (8799)

unto his sons
<01121>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Gather yourselves together
<0622> (8734)_,

that I may tell
<05046> (8686)

you [that] which shall befall
<07122> (8799)

you in the last
<0319>

days
<03117>_.

49:2

Gather yourselves together
<06908> (8734)_,

and hear
<08085> (8798)_,

ye sons
<01121>

of Jacob
<03290>_;

and hearken
<08085> (8798)

unto Israel
<03478>

your father
<01>_.

49:3

Reuben
<07205>_,

thou [art] my firstborn
<01060>_,

my might
<03581>_,

and the beginning
<07225>

of my strength
<0202>_,

the excellency
<03499>

of dignity
<07613>_,

and the excellency
<03499>

of power
<05794>_:

49:4

Unstable
<06349>

as water
<04325>_,

thou shalt not excel
<03498> (8686)_;

because thou wentest up
<05927> (8804)

to thy father's
<01>

bed
<04904>_;

then defiledst thou
<02490> (8765)

[it]: he went up
<05927> (8804)

to my couch
<03326>_.

{thou shalt...: Heb. do not thou excel} {he went...: or, my couch is gone}

49:5

Simeon
<08095>

and Levi
<03878>

[are] brethren
<0251>_;

instruments
<03627>

of cruelty
<02555>

[are in] their habitations
<04380>_.

{instruments...: or, their swords are weapons of violence}

49:6

O my soul
<05315>_,

come
<0935> (8799)

not thou into their secret
<05475>_;

unto their assembly
<06951>_,

mine honour
<03519>_,

be not thou united
<03161> (8799)_:

for in their anger
<0639>

they slew
<02026> (8804)

a man
<0376>_,

and in their selfwill
<07522>

they digged down
<06131> (8765)

a wall
<07794>_.

{digged...: or, houghed oxen}

49:7

Cursed
<0779> (8803)

[be] their anger
<0639>_,

for [it was] fierce
<05794>_;

and their wrath
<05678>_,

for it was cruel
<07185> (8804)_:

I will divide
<02505> (8762)

them in Jacob
<03290>_,

and scatter
<06327> (8686)

them in Israel
<03478>_.

49:8

Judah
<03063>_,

thou [art he] whom thy brethren
<0251>

shall praise
<03034> (8686)_:

thy hand
<03027>

[shall be] in the neck
<06203>

of thine enemies
<0341> (8802)_;

thy father's
<01>

children
<01121>

shall bow down
<07812> (8691)

before thee.

49:9

Judah
<03063>

[is] a lion's
<0738>

whelp
<01482>_:

from the prey
<02964>_,

my son
<01121>_,

thou art gone up
<05927> (8804)_:

he stooped down
<03766> (8804)_,

he couched
<07257> (8804)

as a lion
<0738>_,

and as an old lion
<03833>_;

who shall rouse him up
<06965> (8686)_?

49:10

The sceptre
<07626>

shall not depart
<05493> (8799)

from Judah
<03063>_,

nor a lawgiver
<02710> (8781)

from between his feet
<07272>_,

until
<03588>

Shiloh
<07886>

come
<0935> (8799)_;

and unto him [shall] the gathering
<03349>

of the people
<05971>

[be].

49:11

Binding
<0631> (8802)

his foal
<05895>

unto the vine
<01612>_,

and his ass's
<0860>

colt
<01121>

unto the choice vine
<08321>_;

he washed
<03526> (8765)

his garments
<03830>

in wine
<03196>_,

and his clothes
<05497>

in the blood
<01818>

of grapes
<06025>_:

49:12

His eyes
<05869>

[shall be] red
<02447>

with wine
<03196>_,

and his teeth
<08127>

white
<03836>

with milk
<02461>_.

49:13

Zebulun
<02074>

shall dwell
<07931> (8799)

at the haven
<02348>

of the sea
<03220>_;

and he [shall be] for an haven
<02348>

of ships
<0591>_;

and his border
<03411>

[shall be] unto Zidon
<06721>_.

49:14

Issachar
<03485>

[is] a strong
<01634>

ass
<02543>

couching down
<07257> (8802)

between two burdens
<04942>_:

49:15

And he saw
<07200> (8799)

that rest
<04496>

[was] good
<02896>_,

and the land
<0776>

that [it was] pleasant
<05276> (8804)_;

and bowed
<05186> (8799)

his shoulder
<07926>

to bear
<05445> (8800)_,

and became a servant
<05647> (8802)

unto tribute
<04522>_.

49:16

Dan
<01835>

shall judge
<01777> (8799)

his people
<05971>_,

as one
<0259>

of the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>_.

49:17

Dan
<01835>

shall be a serpent
<05175>

by the way
<01870>_,

an adder
<08207>

in the path
<0734>_,

that biteth
<05391> (8802)

the horse
<05483>

heels
<06119>_,

so that his rider
<07392> (8802)

shall fall
<05307> (8799)

backward
<0268>_.

{an adder: Heb. an arrow-snake}

49:18

I have waited for
<06960> (8765)

thy salvation
<03444>_,

O LORD
<03068>_.

49:19

Gad
<01410>_,

a troop
<01416>

shall overcome
<01464> (8799)

him: but he shall overcome
<01464> (8799)

at the last
<06119>_.

49:20

Out of Asher
<0836>

his bread
<03899>

[shall be] fat
<08082>_,

and he shall yield
<05414> (8799)

royal
<04428>

dainties
<04574>_.

49:21

Naphtali
<05321>

[is] a hind
<0355>

let loose
<07971> (8803)_:

he giveth
<05414> (8802)

goodly
<08233>

words
<0561>_.

49:22

Joseph
<03130>

[is] a fruitful
<06509> (8802)

bough
<01121>_,

[even] a fruitful
<06509> (8802)

bough
<01121>

by a well
<05869>_;

[whose] branches
<01323>

run
<06805> (8804)

over the wall
<07791>_:

{branches: Heb. daughters}

49:23

The archers
<01167> <02671>

have sorely grieved him
<04843> (8762)_,

and shot
<07232> (8804)

[at him], and hated him
<07852> (8799)_:

49:24

But his bow
<07198>

abode
<03427> (8799)

in strength
<0386>_,

and the arms
<02220>

of his hands
<03027>

were made strong
<06339> (8799)

by the hands
<03027>

of the mighty
<046>

[God] of Jacob
<03290>_;

(from thence [is] the shepherd
<07462> (8802)_,

the stone
<068>

of Israel
<03478>:)

49:25

[Even] by the God
<0410>

of thy father
<01>_,

who shall help
<05826> (8799)

thee; and by
<0854>

the Almighty
<07706>_,

who shall bless
<01288> (8762)

thee with blessings
<01293>

of heaven
<08064>

above
<05920>_,

blessings
<01293>

of the deep
<08415>

that lieth
<07257> (8802)

under, blessings
<01293>

of the breasts
<07699>_,

and of the womb
<07356>_:

49:26

The blessings
<01293>

of thy father
<01>

have prevailed
<01396> (8804)

above the blessings
<01293>

of my progenitors
<02029> (8802)

unto the utmost bound
<08379>

of the everlasting
<05769>

hills
<01389>_:

they shall be on the head
<07218>

of Joseph
<03130>_,

and on the crown of the head
<06936>

of him that was separate
<05139>

from his brethren
<0251>_.

49:27

Benjamin
<01144>

shall ravin
<02963> (8799)

[as] a wolf
<02061>_:

in the morning
<01242>

he shall devour
<0398> (8799)

the prey
<05706>_,

and at night
<06153>

he shall divide
<02505> (8762)

the spoil
<07998>_.

49:28

All these [are] the twelve
<06240> <08147>

tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>_:

and this [is it] that their father
<01>

spake
<01696> (8765)

unto them, and blessed
<01288> (8762)

them; every
<0834>

one
<0376>

according to his blessing
<01293>

he blessed
<01288> (8765)

them.

49:29

And he charged
<06680> (8762)

them, and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, I am to be gathered
<0622> (8737)

unto my people
<05971>_:

bury
<06912> (8798)

me with my fathers
<01>

in the cave
<04631>

that [is] in the field
<07704>

<06085>

the Hittite
<02850>_,

49:30

In the cave
<04631>

that [is] in the field
<07704>

<04375>_,

<04471>_,

in the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_,

which Abraham
<085>

bought
<07069> (8804)

with the field
<07704>

of Ephron
<06085>

the Hittite
<02850>

for a possession
<0272>

of a buryingplace
<06913>_.

49:31

There they buried
<06912> (8804)

Abraham
<085>

and Sarah
<08283>

his wife
<0802>_;

there they buried
<06912> (8804)

Isaac
<03327>

and Rebekah
<07259>

his wife
<0802>_;

and there I buried
<06912> (8804)

Leah
<03812>_.

49:32

The purchase
<04735>

of the field
<07704>

and of the cave
<04631>

that [is] therein [was] from the children
<01121>

of Heth
<02845>_.

49:33

And when Jacob
<03290>

had made an end
<03615> (8762)

of commanding
<06680> (8763)

his sons
<01121>_,

he gathered up
<0622> (8799)

his feet
<07272>

into the bed
<04296>_,

and yielded up the ghost
<01478> (8799)_,

<0622> (8735)

unto his people
<05971>_.
