Then his brothers also came and threw themselves down before him; they said, &#8220;Here we are; we are your slaves.&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">Then in the dream God replied to him, &#8220;Yes, I know that you have done this with a clear conscience.<n id="1" /> That is why I have kept you<n id="2" /> from sinning against me and why<n id="3" /> I did not allow you to touch her.

&#8220;I do not know who has done this thing,&#8221; Abimelech replied. &#8220;Moreover,<n id="1" /> you did not tell me. I did not hear about it until today.&#8221;p>

<p class="bodytext">Judah replied, &#8220;What can we say<n id="1" /> to my lord? What can we speak? How can we clear ourselves?<n id="2" /> God has exposed the sin of your servants!<n id="3" /> We are now my lord&#8217;s slaves, we and the one in whose possession the cup was found.&#8221;p>

Tell him, &#8216;Your servants have taken care of cattle<n id="1" /> from our youth until now, both we and our fathers,&#8217; so that you may live in the land of Goshen,<n id="2" /> for everyone who takes care of sheep is disgusting<n id="3" /> to the Egyptians.&#8221;p>

Why should we die before your very eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land in exchange for food, and we, with our land, will become<n id="1" /> Pharaoh&#8217;s slaves.<n id="2" /> Give us seed that we may live<n id="3" /> and not die. Then the land will not become desolate.&#8221;<n id="4" />p>

<p class="bodytext">But his father refused and said, &#8220;I know, my son, I know. He too will become a nation and he too will become great. In spite of this, his younger brother will be even greater and his descendants will become a multitude<n id="1" /> of nations.&#8221;

But Abel brought<n id="1" /> some of the firstborn of his flock &#8211; even the fattest<n id="2" /> of them. And the <sc>Lordsc> was pleased with<n id="3" /> Abel and his offering,

Now Zillah also gave birth to Tubal-Cain, who heated metal and shaped<n id="1" /> all kinds of tools made of bronze and iron. The sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah.p>

And a son was also born to Seth, whom he named Enosh. At that time people<n id="1" /> began to worship<n id="2" /> the <sc>Lordsc>.p>

So the <sc>Lordsc> said, &#8220;My spirit will not remain in<n id="1" /> humankind indefinitely,<n id="2" /> since<n id="3" /> they<n id="4" /> are mortal.<n id="5" /> They<n id="6" /> will remain for 120 more years.&#8221;<n id="7" />p>

and also seven<n id="1" /> of every kind of bird in the sky, male and female,<n id="2" /> to preserve their offspring<n id="3" /> on the face of the earth.

Then they attacked En Mishpat (that is, Kadesh) again,<n id="1" /> and they conquered all the territory of the Amalekites, as well as the Amorites who were living in Hazazon Tamar.p>

<p class="bodytext">So Hagar named the <sc>Lordsc> who spoke to her, &#8220;You are the God who sees me,&#8221;<n id="1" /> for she said, &#8220;Here I have seen one who sees me!&#8221;<n id="2" />

I will bless her and will give you a son through her. I will bless her and she will become a mother of nations.<n id="1" /> Kings of countries<n id="2" /> will come from her!&#8221;p>

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Very well,&#8221; he replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;I will grant this request too<n id="2" /> and will not overthrow<n id="3" /> the town you mentioned.
