Genesis 39:1-23

39:1

And Joseph
<03130>

was brought down
<03381> (8717)

to Egypt
<04714>_;

and Potiphar
<06318>_,

an officer
<05631>

of Pharaoh
<06547>_,

captain
<08269>

of the guard
<02876>_,

an Egyptian
<0376> <04713>_,

bought
<07069> (8799)

him of the hands
<03027>

of the Ishmeelites
<03459>_,

which had brought him down
<03381> (8689)

thither.

39:2

And the LORD
<03068>

was with Joseph
<03130>_,

and he was a prosperous
<06743> (8688)

man
<0376>_;

and he was in the house
<01004>

of his master
<0113>

the Egyptian
<04713>_.

39:3

And his master
<0113>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that the LORD
<03068>

[was] with him, and that the LORD
<03068>

made all that he did
<06213> (8802)

to prosper
<06743> (8688)

in his hand
<03027>_.

39:4

And Joseph
<03130>

found
<04672> (8799)

grace
<02580>

in his sight
<05869>_,

and he served
<08334> (8762)

him: and he made him overseer
<06485> (8686)

over his house
<01004>_,

and all [that] he had
<03426>

he put
<05414> (8804)

into his hand
<03027>_.

39:5

And it came to pass from the time
<0227>

[that] he had made him overseer
<06485> (8689)

in his house
<01004>_,

and over all that he had
<03426>_,

that the LORD
<03068>

blessed
<01288> (8762)

the Egyptian's
<04713>

house
<01004>

for Joseph's
<03130>

sake
<01558>_;

and the blessing
<01293>

of the LORD
<03068>

was upon all that he had
<03426>

in the house
<01004>_,

and in the field
<07704>_.

39:6

And he left
<05800> (8799)

all that he had in Joseph's
<03130>

hand
<03027>_;

and he knew
<03045> (8804)

not ought
<03972>

he had, save
<0518>

the bread
<03899>

which he did eat
<0398> (8802)_.

And Joseph
<03130>

was [a] goodly
<08389>

[person], and well
<03303>

favoured
<04758>_.

39:7

And it came to pass after
<0310>

these things
<01697>_,

that his master's
<0113>

wife
<0802>

cast
<05375> (8799)

her eyes
<05869>

upon Joseph
<03130>_;

and she said
<0559> (8799)_,

Lie
<07901> (8798)

with me.

39:8

But he refused
<03985> (8762)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto his master's
<0113>

wife
<0802>_,

Behold, my master
<0113>

wotteth
<03045> (8804)

not what [is] with me in the house
<01004>_,

and he hath committed
<05414> (8804)

all that he hath
<03426>

to my hand
<03027>_;

39:9

[There is] none greater
<01419>

in this house
<01004>

than I; neither
<03808>

hath he kept back
<02820> (8804)

any thing
<03972>

from me but thee, because
<0834>

thou
<0859>

[art] his wife
<0802>_:

how then can I do
<06213> (8799)

this great
<01419>

wickedness
<07451>_,

and sin
<02398> (8804)

against God
<0430>_?

39:10

And it came to pass, as she spake
<01696> (8763)

to Joseph
<03130>

day
<03117>

by day
<03117>_,

that he hearkened
<08085> (8804)

not unto her, to lie
<07901> (8800)

by her
<0681>_,

[or] to be with her.

39:11

And it came to pass about this time
<03117>_,

that [Joseph] went
<0935> (8799)

into the house
<01004>

to do
<06213> (8800)

his business
<04399>_;

and [there was] none of the men
<0376> <0582>

of the house
<01004>

there within.

39:12

And she caught
<08610> (8799)

him by his garment
<0899>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Lie
<07901> (8798)

with me: and he left
<05800> (8799)

his garment
<0899>

in her hand
<03027>_,

and fled
<05127> (8799)_,

and got
<03318> (8799)

him out
<02351>_.

39:13

And it came to pass, when she saw
<07200> (8800)

that he had left
<05800> (8804)

his garment
<0899>

in her hand
<03027>_,

and was fled
<05127> (8799)

forth
<02351>_,

39:14

That she called
<07121> (8799)

unto the men
<0582>

of her house
<01004>_,

and spake
<0559> (8799)

unto them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

See
<07200> (8798)_,

he hath brought in
<0935> (8689)

an Hebrew
<0376> <05680>

unto us to mock
<06711> (8763)

us; he came in
<0935> (8804)

unto me to lie
<07901> (8800)

with me, and I cried
<07121> (8799)

with a loud
<01419>

voice
<06963>_:

{loud: Heb. great}

39:15

And it came to pass, when he heard
<08085> (8800)

that I lifted up
<07311> (8689)

my voice
<06963>

and cried
<07121> (8799)_,

that he left
<05800> (8799)

his garment
<0899>

with me
<0681>_,

and fled
<05127> (8799)_,

and got him
<03318> (8799)

out
<02351>_.

39:16

And she laid up
<03240> (8686)

his garment
<0899>

by her
<0681>_,

until his lord
<0113>

came
<0935> (8800)

home
<01004>_.

39:17

And she spake
<01696> (8762)

unto him according to these words
<01697>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The Hebrew
<05680>

servant
<05650>_,

which thou hast brought
<0935> (8689)

unto us, came in
<0935> (8804)

unto me to mock
<06711> (8763)

me:

39:18

And it came to pass, as I lifted up
<07311> (8687)

my voice
<06963>

and cried
<07121> (8799)_,

that he left
<05800> (8799)

his garment
<0899>

with me
<0681>_,

and fled
<05127> (8799)

out
<02351>_.

39:19

And it came to pass, when his master
<0113>

heard
<08085> (8800)

the words
<01697>

of his wife
<0802>_,

which she spake
<01696> (8765)

unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

After this manner
<01697>

did
<06213> (8804)

thy servant
<05650>

to me; that his wrath
<0639>

was kindled
<02734> (8799)_.

39:20

And Joseph's
<03130>

master
<0113>

took
<03947> (8799)

him, and put him
<05414> (8799)

into the prison
<01004> <05470>_,

a place
<04725>

where the king's
<04428>

prisoners
<0615>

[were] bound
<0631> (8803)_:

and he was there in the prison
<01004> <05470>_.

39:21

But the LORD
<03068>

was with Joseph
<03130>_,

and shewed
<05186> (8799)

him mercy
<02617>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

him favour
<02580>

in the sight
<05869>

of the keeper
<08269>

of the prison
<01004> <05470>_.

{shewed...: Heb. extended kindness unto him}

39:22

And the keeper
<08269>

of the prison
<01004> <05470>

committed
<05414> (8799)

to Joseph's
<03130>

hand
<03027>

all the prisoners
<0615>

that [were] in the prison
<01004> <05470>_;

and whatsoever they did
<06213> (8802)

there, he was the doer
<06213> (8802)

[of it].

39:23

The keeper
<08269>

of the prison
<01004> <05470>

looked
<07200> (8802)

not to any thing
<03972>

[that was] under his hand
<03027>_;

because the LORD
<03068>

was with him, and [that] which he did
<06213> (8802)_,

the LORD
<03068>

made [it] to prosper
<06743> (8688)_.

Genesis 46:20

46:20

And unto Joseph
<03130>

in the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>

were born
<03205> (8735)

Manasseh
<04519>

and Ephraim
<0669>_,

which Asenath
<0621>

the daughter
<01323>

of Potipherah
<06319>

priest
<03548>

of On
<0204>

bare
<03205> (8804)

unto him. {priest: or, prince}

Genesis 48:1-22

48:1

And it came to pass after
<0310>

these things
<01697>_,

that [one] told
<0559> (8799)

Joseph
<03130>_,

Behold, thy father
<01>

[is] sick
<02470> (8802)_:

and he took
<03947> (8799)

with him his two
<08147>

sons
<01121>_,

Manasseh
<04519>

and Ephraim
<0669>_.

48:2

And [one] told
<05046> (8686)

Jacob
<03290>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, thy son
<01121>

Joseph
<03130>

cometh
<0935> (8802)

unto thee: and Israel
<03478>

strengthened
<02388> (8691)

himself, and sat
<03427> (8799)

upon the bed
<04296>_.

48:3

And Jacob
<03290>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joseph
<03130>_,

God
<0410>

Almighty
<07706>

appeared
<07200> (8738)

unto me at Luz
<03870>

in the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_,

and blessed
<01288> (8762)

me,

48:4

And said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful
<06509> (8688)_,

and multiply
<07235> (8689)

thee, and I will make
<05414> (8804)

of thee a multitude
<06951>

of people
<05971>_;

and will give
<05414> (8804)

this land
<0776>

to thy seed
<02233>

after thee
<0310>

[for] an everlasting
<05769>

possession
<0272>_.

48:5

And now thy two
<08147>

sons
<01121>_,

Ephraim
<0669>

and Manasseh
<04519>_,

which were born
<03205> (8737)

unto thee in the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>

before
<05704>

I came
<0935> (8800)

unto thee into Egypt
<04714>_,

[are] mine; as Reuben
<07205>

and Simeon
<08095>_,

they shall be mine.

48:6

And thy issue
<04138>_,

which thou begettest
<03205> (8689)

after
<0310>

them, shall be thine, [and] shall be called
<07121> (8735)

after
<05921>

the name
<08034>

of their brethren
<0251>

in their inheritance
<05159>_.

48:7

And as for me, when I came
<0935> (8800)

from Padan
<06307>_,

Rachel
<07354>

died
<04191> (8804)

by me in the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>

in the way
<01870>_,

when
<05750>

yet [there was] but a little
<03530>

way
<0776>

to come
<0935> (8800)

unto Ephrath
<0672>_:

and I buried her
<06912> (8799)

there in the way
<01870>

of Ephrath
<0672>_;

the same [is] Bethlehem
<01035>_.

48:8

And Israel
<03478>

beheld
<07200> (8799)

Joseph's
<03130>

sons
<01121>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Who [are] these?

48:9

And Joseph
<03130>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his father
<01>_,

They [are] my sons
<01121>_,

whom God
<0430>

hath given
<05414> (8804)

me in this [place]. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Bring them
<03947> (8798)_,

I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless
<01288> (8762)

them.

48:10

Now the eyes
<05869>

of Israel
<03478>

were dim
<03513> (8804)

for age
<02207>_,

[so that] he could
<03201> (8799)

not see
<07200> (8800)_.

And he brought them near
<05066> (8686)

unto him; and he kissed
<05401> (8799)

them, and embraced
<02263> (8762)

them. {dim: Heb. heavy}

48:11

And Israel
<03478>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joseph
<03130>_,

I had not thought
<06419> (8765)

to see
<07200> (8800)

thy face
<06440>_:

and, lo, God
<0430>

hath shewed
<07200> (8689)

me also thy seed
<02233>_.

48:12

And Joseph
<03130>

brought them out
<03318> (8686)

from between
<05973>

his knees
<01290>_,

and he bowed
<07812> (8691)

himself with his face
<0639>

to the earth
<0776>_.

48:13

And Joseph
<03130>

took
<03947> (8799)

them both
<08147>_,

Ephraim
<0669>

in his right hand
<03225>

toward Israel's
<03478>

left hand
<08040>_,

and Manasseh
<04519>

in his left hand
<08040>

toward Israel's
<03478>

right hand
<03225>_,

and brought [them] near
<05066> (8686)

unto him.

48:14

And Israel
<03478>

stretched out
<07971> (8799)

his right hand
<03225>_,

and laid
<07896> (8799)

[it] upon Ephraim's
<0669>

head
<07218>_,

who [was] the younger
<06810>_,

and his left hand
<08040>

upon Manasseh's
<04519>

head
<07218>_,

guiding
<07919> (0)

his hands
<03027>

wittingly
<07919> (8765)_;

for Manasseh
<04519>

[was] the firstborn
<01060>_.

48:15

And he blessed
<01288> (8762)

Joseph
<03130>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

God
<0430>_,

before
<06440>

whom my fathers
<01>

Abraham
<085>

and Isaac
<03327>

did walk
<01980> (8694)_,

the God
<0430>

which fed
<07462> (8802)

me all my life long
<05750>

unto this day
<03117>_,

48:16

The Angel
<04397>

which redeemed
<01350> (8802)

me from all evil
<07451>_,

bless
<01288> (8762)

the lads
<05288>_;

and let my name
<08034>

be named
<07121> (8735)

on them, and the name
<08034>

of my fathers
<01>

Abraham
<085>

and Isaac
<03327>_;

and let them grow
<01711> (8799)

into a multitude
<07230>

in the midst
<07130>

of the earth
<0776>_.

{grow: Heb. as fishes do increase}

48:17

And when Joseph
<03130>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that his father
<01>

laid
<07896> (8799)

his right
<03225>

hand
<03027>

upon the head
<07218>

of Ephraim
<0669>_,

it displeased
<03415> (8799) <05869>

him: and he held up
<08551> (8799)

his father's
<01>

hand
<03027>_,

to remove
<05493> (8687)

it from Ephraim's
<0669>

head
<07218>

unto Manasseh's
<04519>

head
<07218>_.

{displeased...: was evil in his eyes}

48:18

And Joseph
<03130>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his father
<01>_,

Not so, my father
<01>_:

for this [is] the firstborn
<01060>_;

put
<07760> (8798)

thy right hand
<03225>

upon his head
<07218>_.

48:19

And his father
<01>

refused
<03985> (8762)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

I know
<03045> (8804)

[it], my son
<01121>_,

I know
<03045> (8804)

[it]: he also shall become a people
<05971>_,

and he also shall be great
<01431> (8799)_:

but truly
<0199>

his younger
<06996>

brother
<0251>

shall be greater
<01431> (8799)

than he, and his seed
<02233>

shall become a multitude
<04393>

of nations
<01471>_.

{multitude: Heb. fulness}

48:20

And he blessed
<01288> (8762)

them that day
<03117>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

In thee shall Israel
<03478>

bless
<01288> (8762)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

God
<0430>

make
<07760> (8799)

thee as Ephraim
<0669>

and as Manasseh
<04519>_:

and he set
<07760> (8799)

Ephraim
<0669>

before
<06440>

Manasseh
<04519>_.

48:21

And Israel
<03478>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joseph
<03130>_,

Behold, I die
<04191> (8801)_:

but God
<0430>

shall be with you, and bring you again
<07725> (8689)

unto the land
<0776>

of your fathers
<01>_.

48:22

Moreover I have given
<05414> (8804)

to thee one
<0259>

portion
<07926>

above thy brethren
<0251>_,

which I took
<03947> (8804)

out of the hand
<03027>

of the Amorite
<0567>

with my sword
<02719>

and with my bow
<07198>_.

Genesis 49:22-26

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>_.

Deuteronomy 33:17

33:17

His glory
<01926>

[is like] the firstling
<01060>

of his bullock
<07794>_,

and his horns
<07161>

[are like] the horns
<07161>

of unicorns
<07214>_:

with them he shall push
<05055> (8762)

the people
<05971>

together
<03162>

to the ends
<0657>

of the earth
<0776>_:

and they [are] the ten thousands
<07233>

of Ephraim
<0669>_,

and they [are] the thousands
<0505>

of Manasseh
<04519>_.
