&#8220;These men are at peace with us. So let them live in the land and travel freely in it, for the land is wide enough<n id="1" /> for them. We will take their daughters for wives, and we will give them our daughters to marry.<n id="2" />

<p class="bodytext">Then he had another dream,<n id="1" /> and told it to his brothers. &#8220;Look,&#8221;<n id="2" /> he said. &#8220;I had another dream. The sun, the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me.&#8221;

He said to his brothers, &#8220;My money was returned! Here it is in my sack!&#8221; They were dismayed;<n id="1" /> they turned trembling one to another<n id="2" /> and said, &#8220;What in the world has God done to us?&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

&#8216;My father made me swear an oath. He said,<n id="1" /> &#8220;I am about to die. Bury me<n id="2" /> in my tomb that I dug for myself there in the land of Canaan.&#8221; Now let me go and bury my father; then I will return.&#8217;&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">Moses said<n id="1" /> to God, &#8220;If<n id="2" /> I go to the Israelites and tell them, &#8216;The God of your fathers has sent me to you,&#8217; and they ask me, &#8216;What is his name?&#8217;<n id="3" /> &#8211; what should I say<n id="4" /> to them?&#8221;p>

<p class="bodytext">Then the <sc>Lordsc> became angry with<n id="1" /> Moses, and he said, &#8220;What about<n id="2" /> your brother Aaron the Levite?<n id="3" /> I know that he can speak very well.<n id="4" /> Moreover, he is coming<n id="5" /> to meet you, and when he sees you he will be glad in his heart.<n id="6" />p>

Thus says the <sc>Lordsc>: &#8220;By this you will know that I am the <sc>Lordsc>: I am going to strike<n id="1" /> the water of the Nile with the staff that is in my hand, and it will be turned into blood.<n id="2" />

<t /><n id="1" /><p class="bodytext">The <sc>Lordsc><n id="2" /> said to Moses, &#8220;Get up early in the morning and position yourself before Pharaoh as he goes out to the water, and tell him, &#8216;Thus says the <sc>Lordsc>, &#8220;Release my people that they may serve me!

<p class="bodytext">Moses said, &#8220;I am going to go out<n id="1" /> from you and pray to the <sc>Lordsc>, and the swarms of flies will go away from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people tomorrow. Only do not let Pharaoh deal falsely again<n id="2" /> by not releasing<n id="3" /> the people to sacrifice to the <sc>Lordsc>.&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">The <sc>Lordsc> said to Moses, &#8220;I am going to come<n id="1" /> to you in a dense cloud,<n id="2" /> so that the people may hear when I speak with you and so that they will always believe in you.&#8221;<n id="3" /> And Moses told the words of the people to the <sc>Lordsc>.p>

So Moses took the blood and splashed it on<n id="1" /> the people and said, &#8220;This is the blood of the covenant<n id="2" /> that the <sc>Lordsc> has made with you in accordance with all these words.&#8221;p>

Moreover,<n id="1" /> I have also given him Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, and I have given ability to all the specially skilled,<n id="2" /> that they may make<n id="3" /> everything I have commanded you:

You must not have sexual intercourse with both a woman and her daughter; you must not take as wife either her son&#8217;s daughter or her daughter&#8217;s daughter to have intercourse with them.<n id="1" /> They are closely related to her<n id="2" /> &#8211; it is lewdness.<n id="3" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">The <sc>Lordsc> spoke to Aaron, &#8220;See, I have given you the responsibility for my raised offerings; I have given all the holy things of the Israelites to you as your priestly portion<n id="1" /> and to your sons as a perpetual ordinance.

The angel of the <sc>Lordsc> said to him, &#8220;Why have you beaten your donkey these three times? Look, I came out to oppose you because what you are doing<n id="1" /> is perverse before me.<n id="2" />

Balaam said to Balak, &#8220;Look, I have come to you. Now, am I able<n id="1" /> to speak<n id="2" /> just anything? I must speak<n id="3" /> only the word that God puts in my mouth.&#8221;

Only King Og of Bashan was left of the remaining Rephaites. (It is noteworthy<n id="1" /> that his sarcophagus<n id="2" /> was made of iron.<n id="3" /> Does it not, indeed, still remain in Rabbath<n id="4" /> of the Ammonites? It is thirteen and a half feet<n id="5" /> long and six feet<n id="6" /> wide according to standard measure.)<n id="7" />p>

So now, look! I have brought the first of the ground&#8217;s produce that you, <sc>Lord,sc> have given me.&#8221; Then you must set it down before the <sc>Lordsc> your God and worship before him.<n id="1" />
