themselves the one from the other4 #jac3jab ,abram lived in the land of ,canaan1 and ,lot lived in the cities of the plain1 and moved his tent as far as ,sodom4 #jac3jac ,now the men of ,sodom were

the tent door1 and bowed himself to the earth1 #jah3jjc and said1 ,my lord1 if now ,i have found favor in your sight1 please don't go away from your servant4 #jah3jjd ,now let a little water be fetched1 wash your feet1 and rest yourselves under the tree4 #jah3jje ,i will get a morsel of bread so you can refresh your heart4 ,after that you may go your way1 now that you have come to your

,abraham ran to the herd1 and fetched a tender and good calf1 and gave it to the servant4 ,he hurried to dress it4 #jah3jjh ,he took butter1 milk1 and the calf which he had dressed1 and set it before them4 ,he stood by them under the tree1 and they ate4 #jah3jji ,they said to him1 ,where is ,sarah1 your wife8 ,he said1 ,see1 in the tent4 #jah3jaj ,he said1 ,i will certainly return to you when the season comes round4 ,behold1 ,sarah your wife will have a son4 ,sarah heard in the tent door1 which was behind him4 #jah3jaa ,now ,abraham and ,sarah were old1 well advanced in age4 ,it had ceased to be with ,sarah after the manner of women4 #jah3jab ,sarah laughed within herself1 saying1 ,after ,i have grown old will ,i have pleasure1 my lord being old also8 #jah3jac ,yahweh said to ,abraham1 ,why did ,sarah laugh1 saying1 ',will ,i really bear a child1 yet ,i am old8' #jah3jad ,is anything too hard for ,yahweh8 ,at the set time ,i will return to you1 when the season comes round1 and ,sarah will have a son4 #jah3jae ,then ,sarah denied1 saying1 ,i didn't laugh1 for she was afraid4 ,he said1 ,no1 but you did laugh4 #jah3jaf ,the men rose up from there1 and looked toward ,sodom4 ,abraham went with them to see them on their way4 #jah3jag ,yahweh said1 ,will ,i hide from ,abraham what ,i do1 #jah3jah seeing that ,abraham has surely become a great and mighty nation1 and all the nations of the earth will be blessed in him8 #jah3jai ,for ,i have known him1 to the end that he may command his children and his household after him1 that they may keep the way of ,yahweh1 to do righteousness and justice2 to the end that ,yahweh may bring on ,abraham that which he has spoken of him4 #jah3jbj ,yahweh said1 ,because the cry of ,sodom and ,gomorrah is great1 and because their sin is very grievous1 #jah3jba ,i will go down now1 and see whether their deeds are as bad as the reports which have come to me4 ,if not1 ,i will know4 #jah3jbb ,the men turned from there1 and went toward ,sodom1 but ,abraham stood yet before ,yahweh4 #jah3jbc ,abraham drew near1 and said1 ,will you consume the righteous with the wicked8 #jah3jbd ,what if there are fifty righteous within the city8 ,will you consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous who are in it8 #jah3jbe ,be it far from you to do things like that1 to kill the righteous with the wicked1 so that the righteous should be like the wicked4 ,may that be far from you4 ,shouldn't the ,judge of all the earth do right8 #jah3jbf ,yahweh said1 ,if ,i find in ,sodom fifty righteous within the city1 then ,i will spare all the place for their sake4 #jah3jbg ,abraham answered1 ,see now1 ,i have taken it on myself to speak to the ,lord1 who am but dust and ashes4 #jah3jbh ,what if there will lack five of the fifty righteous8 ,will you destroy all the city for lack of five8 ,he said1 ,i will not destroy it1 if ,i find forty-five there4 #jah3jbi ,he spoke to him yet again1 and said1 ,what if there are forty found there8 ,he said1 ,i will not do it for the forty's sake4 #jah3jcj ,he said1 ,oh don't let the ,lord be angry1 and ,i will speak4 ,what if there are thirty found there8 ,he said1 ,i will not do it1 if ,i find thirty there4 #jah3jca ,he said1 ,see now1 ,i have taken it on myself to speak to the ,lord4 ,what if there are twenty found there8 ,he said1 ,i will not destroy it for the twenty's sake4 #jah3jcb ,he said1 ,oh don't let the ,lord be angry1 and ,i will speak just once more4 ,what if ten are found there8 ,he said1 ,i will not destroy it for the ten's sake4 #jah3jcc ,yahweh went his way1 as soon as he had finished communing with ,abraham1 and ,abraham returned to his place4 #jai3jja ,the two angels came to ,sodom at evening4 ,lot sat in the gate of ,sodom4 ,lot saw them1 and rose up to meet them4 ,he bowed himself with his face to the earth1 #jai3jjb and he said1 ,see now1 my lords1 please turn aside into your servant's house1 stay all night1 wash your feet1 and you will rise up early1 and go on your way4 ,they said1 ,no1 but we will stay in the street all night4 #jai3jjc ,he urged them greatly1 and they came in with him1 and entered into his house4 ,he made them a feast1 and baked unleavened bread1 and they ate4 #jai3jjd ,but before they lay down1 the men of the city1 the men of ,sodom1 surrounded the house1 both young and old1 all the people from every quarter4 #jai3jje ,they called to ,lot1 and said to him1 ,where are the men who came in to you this night8 ,bring them out to us1 that we may have sex with them4 #jai3jjf ,lot went out to them to the door1 and shut the door after him4 #jai3jjg ,he said1 ,please1 my brothers1 don't act so wickedly4 #jai3jjh ,see now1 ,i have two virgin daughters4 ,please let me bring them out to you1 and you may do to them what seems good to you4 ,only don't do anything to these men1 because they have come under the shadow of my roof4 #jai3jji ,they said1 ,stand back6 ,they said1 ,this one fellow came in to live as a foreigner1 and he appoints himself a judge4 ,now will we deal worse with you1 than with them6 ,they pressed hard on the man ,lot1 and drew near to break the door4 #jai3jaj ,but the men put forth their hand1 and brought ,lot into the house to them1 and shut the door4 #jai3jaa ,they struck the men who were at the door of the house with blindness1 both small and great1 so that they wearied themselves to find the door4 #jai3jab ,the men said to ,lot1 ,do you have anybody else here8 ,sons-in-law1 your sons1 your daughters1 and whoever you have in the city1 bring them out of the place3 #jai3jac for we will destroy this place1 because the outcry against them has grown great before ,yahweh that ,yahweh has sent us to destroy it4 #jai3jad ,lot went out1 and spoke to his sons-in-law1 who were pledged to marry his daughters1 and said1 ,get up6 ,get out of this place1 for ,yahweh will destroy the city4 ,but he seemed to his sons-in-law to be joking4 #jai3jae ,when the morning came1 then the angels hurried ,lot1 saying1 ,get up6 ,take your wife1 and your two daughters who are here1 lest you be consumed in the iniquity of the city4 #jai3jaf ,but he lingered2 and the men grabbed his hand1 his wife's hand1 and his two daughters' hands1 ,yahweh being merciful to him2 and they took him out1 and set him outside of the city4 #jai3jag ,it came to pass1 when they had taken them out1 that he said1 ,escape for your life6 ,don't look behind you1 and don't stay anywhere in the plain4 ,escape to the mountains1 lest you be consumed6 #jai3jah ,lot said to them1 ,oh1 not so1 my lord4 #jai3jai ,see now1 your servant has found favor in your sight1 and you have magnified your loving kindness1 which you have shown to me in saving my life4 ,i can't escape to the mountain1 lest evil overtake me1 and ,i die4 #jai3jbj ,see now1 this city is near to flee to1 and it is a little one4 ,oh let me escape there 7isn't it a little one871 and my soul will live4 #jai3jba ,he said to him1 ,behold1 ,i have granted your request concerning this thing also1 that ,i will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken4 #jai3jbb ,hurry1 escape there1 for ,i can't do anything until you get there4 ,therefore the name of the city was called ,zoar4,zoar means little4 #jai3jbc ,the sun had risen on the earth when ,lot came to ,zoar4 #jai3jbd ,then ,yahweh rained on ,sodom and on ,gomorrah sulfur and fire from ,yahweh out of the sky4 #jai3jbe ,he overthrew those cities1 all the plain1 all the inhabitants of the cities1 and that which grew on the ground4 #jai3jbf ,but his wife looked back from behind him1 and she became a pillar of salt4 #jai3jbg ,abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before ,yahweh4 #jai3jbh ,he looked toward ,sodom and ,gomorrah1 and toward all the land of the plain1 and looked1 and saw that the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace4 #jai3jbi ,it happened1 when ,god destroyed the cities of the plain1 that ,god remembered ,abraham1 and sent ,lot out of the middle of the overthrow1 when he overthrew the cities in which ,lot lived4 #jai3jcj ,lot went up out of ,zoar1 and lived in the mountain1 and his two daughters with him2 for he was afraid to live in ,zoar4 ,he lived in a cave with his two daughters4 #jai3jca ,the firstborn said to the younger1 ,our father is old1 and there is not a man in the earth to come in to us after the manner of all the earth4 #jai3jcb ,come1 let's make our father drink wine1 and we will lie with him1 that we may preserve our father's seed4 #jai3jcc ,they made their father drink wine that night3 and the firstborn went in1 and lay with her father4 ,he didn't know when she lay down1 nor when she arose4 #jai3jcd ,it came to pass on the next day1 that the firstborn said to the younger1 ,behold1 ,i lay last night with my father4 ,let us make him drink wine again1 tonight4 ,you go in1 and lie with him1 that we may preserve our father's seed4 #jai3jce ,they made their father drink wine that night also4 ,the younger went and lay with him4 ,he didn't know when she lay down1 nor when she got up4 #jai3jcf ,thus both of ,lot's daughters were with child by their father4 #jai3jcg ,the firstborn bore a son1 and named him ,moab4 ,he is the father of the ,moabites to this day4 #jai3jch ,the younger also bore a son1 and called his name ,ben ,ammi4 ,he is the father of the children of ,ammon to this day4 #jbj3jja ,abraham traveled from there toward the land of the ,south1 and lived between ,kadesh and ,shur4 ,he lived as a foreigner in ,gerar4 #jbj3jjb ,abraham said about ,sarah his wife1 ,she is my sister4 ,abimelech king of ,gerar sent1 and took ,sarah4 #jbj3jjc ,but ,god came to ,abimelech in a dream of the night1 and said to him1 ,behold1 you are a dead man1 because of the woman whom you have taken4 ,for she is a man's wife4 #jbj3jjd ,now ,abimelech had not come near her4 ,he said1 ,lord1 will you kill even a righteous nation8 #jbj3jje ,didn't he tell me1 ',she is my sister8' ,she1 even she herself1 said1 ',he is my brother4' ,in the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands have ,i done this4 #jbj3jjf ,god said to him in the dream1 ,yes1 ,i know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this1 and ,i also withheld you from sinning against me4 ,therefore ,i didn't allow you to touch her4 #jbj3jjg ,now therefore1 restore the man's wife4 ,for he is a prophet1 and he will pray for you1 and you will live4 ,if you don't restore her1 know for sure that you will die1 you1 and all who are yours4 #jbj3jjh ,abimelech rose early in the morning1 and called all his servants1 and told all these things in their ear4 ,the men were very scared4 #jbj3jji ,then ,abimelech called ,abraham1 and said to him1 ,what have you done to us8 ,how have ,i sinned against you1 that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin8 ,you have done deeds to me that ought not to be done6 #jbj3jaj ,abimelech said to ,abraham1 ,what did you see1 that you have done this thing8 #jbj3jaa ,abraham said1 ,because ,i thought1 ',surely the fear of ,god is not in this place4 ,they will kill me for my wife's sake4' #jbj3jab ,besides1 she is indeed my sister1 the daughter of my father1 but not the daughter of my mother2 and she became my wife4 #jbj3jac ,it happened1 when ,god caused me to wander from my father's house1 that ,i said to her1 ',this is your kindness which you shall show to me4 ,everywhere that we go1 say of me1 ,he is my brother4' #jbj3jad ,abimelech took sheep and oxen1 male servants and female servants1 and gave them to ,abraham1 and restored ,sarah1 his wife1 to him4 #jbj3jae ,abimelech said1 ,behold1 my land is before you4 ,dwell where it pleases you4 #jbj3jaf ,to ,sarah he said1 ,behold1 ,i have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver4 ,behold1 it is for you a covering of the eyes to all that are with you4 ,in front of all you are vindicated4 #jbj3jag ,abraham prayed to ,god4 ,god healed ,abimelech1 and his wife1 and his female servants1 and they bore children4 #jbj3jah ,for ,yahweh had closed up tight all the wombs of the house of ,abimelech1 because of ,sarah1 ,abraham's wife4 #jba3jja ,yahweh visited ,sarah as he had said1 and ,yahweh did to ,sarah as he had spoken4 #jba3jjb ,sarah conceived1 and bore ,abraham a son in his old age1 at the set time of which ,god had spoken to him4 #jba3jjc ,abraham called his son who was born to him1 whom ,sarah bore to him1 ,isaac4,isaac means ,he laughs4 #jba3jjd ,abraham circumcised his son1 ,isaac1 when he was eight days old1 as ,god had commanded him4 #jba3jje ,abraham was one hundred years old when his son1 ,isaac1 was born to him4 #jba3jjf ,sarah said1 ,god has made me laugh4 ,everyone who hears will laugh with me4 #jba3jjg ,she said1 ,who would have said to ,abraham1 that ,sarah would nurse children8 ,for ,i have borne him a son in his old age4 #jba3jjh ,the child grew1 and was weaned4 ,abraham made a great feast on the day that ,isaac was weaned4 #jba3jji ,sarah saw the son of ,hagar the ,egyptian1 whom she had borne to ,abraham1 mocking4 #jba3jaj ,therefore she said to ,abraham1 ,cast out this handmaid and her son6 ,for the son of this handmaid will not be heir with my son1 ,isaac4 #jba3jaa ,the thing was very grievous in ,abraham's sight on account of his son4 #jba3jab ,god said to ,abraham1 ,don't let it be grievous in your sight because of the boy1 and because of your handmaid4 ,in all that ,sarah says to you1 listen to her voice4 ,for from ,isaac will your seed be called4 #jba3jac ,i will also make a nation of the son of the handmaid1 because he is your seed4 #jba3jad ,abraham rose up early in the morning1 and took bread and a bottle of water1 and gave it to ,hagar1 putting it on her shoulder2 and gave her the child1 and sent her away4 ,she departed1 and wandered in the wilderness of ,beersheba4 #jba3jae ,the water in the bottle was spent1 and she cast the child under one of the shrubs4 #jba3jaf ,she went and sat down opposite him1 a good way off1 about a bow shot away4 ,for she said1 ,don't let me see the death of the child4 ,she sat over against him1 and lifted up her voice1 and wept4 #jba3jag ,god heard the voice of the boy4 ,the angel of ,god called to ,hagar out of the sky1 and said to her1 ,what ails you1 ,hagar8 ,don't be afraid4 ,for ,god has heard the voice of the boy where he is4 #jba3jah ,get up1 lift up the boy1 and hold him in your hand4 ,for ,i will make him a great nation4 #jba3jai ,god opened her eyes1 and she saw a well of water4 ,she went1 filled the bottle with water1 and gave the boy drink4 #jba3jbj ,god was with the boy1 and he grew4 ,he lived in the wilderness1 and became1 as he grew up1 an archer4 #jba3jba ,he lived in the wilderness of ,paran4 ,his mother took a wife for him out of the land of ,egypt4 #jba3jbb ,it happened at that time1 that ,abimelech and ,phicol the captain of his army spoke to ,abraham1 saying1 ,god is with you in all that you do4 #jba3jbc ,now1 therefore1 swear to me here by ,god that you will not deal falsely with me1 nor with my son1 nor with my son's son4 ,but according to the kindness that ,i have done to you1 you shall do to me1 and to the land in which you have lived as a foreigner4 #jba3jbd ,abraham said1 ,i will swear4 #jba3jbe ,abraham complained to ,abimelech because of a water well1 which ,abimelech's servants had violently taken away4 #jba3jbf ,abimelech said1 ,i don't know who has done this thing4 ,neither did you tell me1 neither did ,i hear of it1 until today4 #jba3jbg ,abraham took sheep and oxen1 and gave them to ,abimelech4 ,those two made a covenant4 #jba3jbh ,abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves4 #jba3jbi ,abimelech said to ,abraham1 ,what do these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves mean8 #jba3jcj ,he said1 ,you shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand1 that it may be a witness to me1 that ,i have dug this well4 #jba3jca ,therefore he called that place ,beersheba1,beersheba can mean well of the oath or well of seven4 because they both swore there4 #jba3jcb ,so they made a covenant at ,beersheba4 ,abimelech rose up with ,phicol1 the captain of his army1 and they returned into the land of the ,philistines4 #jba3jcc ,abraham planted a tamarisk tree in ,beersheba1 and called there on the name of ,yahweh1 the ,everlasting ,god4 #jba3jcd ,abraham lived as a foreigner in the land of the ,philistines many days4 #jbb3jja ,it happened after these things1 that ,god tested ,abraham1 and said to him1 ,abraham6 ,he said1 ,here ,i am4 #jbb3jjb ,he said1 ,now take your son1 your only son1 whom you love1 even ,isaac1 and go into the land of ,moriah4 ,offer him there for a burnt offering on one of the mountains which ,i will tell you of4 #jbb3jjc ,abraham rose early in the morning1 and saddled his donkey1 and took two of his young men with him1 and ,isaac his son4 ,he split the wood for the burnt offering1 and rose up1 and went to the place of which ,god had told him4 #jbb3jjd ,on the third day ,abraham lifted up his eyes1 and saw the place far off4 #jbb3jje ,abraham said to his young men1 ,stay here with the donkey4 ,the boy and ,i will go yonder4 ,we will worship1 and come back to you4 #jbb3jjf ,abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on ,isaac his son4 ,he took in his hand the fire and the knife4 ,they both went together4 #jbb3jjg ,isaac spoke to ,abraham his father1 and said1 ,my father8 ,he said1 ,here ,i am1 my son4 ,he said1 ,here is the fire and the wood1 but where is the lamb for a burnt offering8 #jbb3jjh ,abraham said1 ,god will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering1 my son4 ,so they both went together4 #jbb3jji ,they came to the place which ,god had told him of4 ,abraham built the altar there1 and laid the wood in order1 bound ,isaac his son1 and laid him on the altar1 on the wood4 #jbb3jaj ,abraham stretched forth his hand1 and took the knife to kill his son4 #jbb3jaa ,the angel of ,yahweh called to him out of the sky1 and said1 ,abraham1 ,abraham6 ,he said1 ,here ,i am4 #jbb3jab ,he said1 ,don't lay your hand on the boy1 neither do anything to him4 ,for now ,i know that you fear ,god1 seeing you have not withheld your son1 your only son1 from me4 #jbb3jac ,abraham lifted up his eyes1 and looked1 and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns4 ,abraham went and took the ram1 and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son4 #jbb3jad ,abraham called the name of that place ,yahweh ,will ,provideor1 ,yahweh-,jireh1 or1 ,yahweh-,seeing4 ,as it is said to this day1 ,on ,yahweh's mountain1 it will be provided4 #jbb3jae ,the angel of ,yahweh called to ,abraham a second time out of the sky1 #jbb3jaf and said1 ,i have sworn by myself1 says ,yahweh1 because you have done this thing1 and have not withheld your son1 your only son1 #jbb3jag that ,i will bless you greatly1 and ,i will multiply your seed greatly like the stars of the heavens1 and like the sand which is on the seashore4 ,your seed will possess the gate of his enemies4 #jbb3jah ,in your seed will all the nations of the earth be blessed1 because you have obeyed my voice4 #jbb3jai ,so ,abraham returned to his young men1 and they rose up and went together to ,beersheba4 ,abraham lived at ,beersheba4 #jbb3jbj ,it happened after these things1 that it was told ,abraham1 saying1 ,behold1 ,milcah1 she also has borne children to your brother ,nahor3 #jbb3jba ,uz his firstborn1 ,buz his brother1 ,kemuel the father of ,aram1 #jbb3jbb ,chesed1 ,hazo1

,tebah1 ,gaham1 ,tahash1 and ,maacah4 #jbc3jja ,sarah lived one hundred twenty-seven years4 ,this was the length of ,sarah's life4 #jbc3jjb ,sarah died in ,kiriath ,arba 7the same is ,hebron71 in the land of ,canaan4 ,abraham came to mourn for ,sarah1 and to weep for her4 #jbc3jjc ,abraham rose up from before his dead1 and spoke to the children of ,heth1 saying1 #jbc3jjd ,i am a stranger and a foreigner living with you4 ,give me a possession of a burying-place with you1 that ,i may bury my dead out of my sight4 #jbc3jje ,the children of ,heth answered ,abraham1 saying to him1 #jbc3jjf ,hear us1 my lord4 ,you are a prince of ,god among us4 ,bury your dead in the best of our tombs4 ,none of us will withhold from you his tomb4 ,bury your dead4 #jbc3jjg ,abraham rose up1 and bowed himself to the people of the land1 even to the children of ,heth4 #jbc3jjh ,he talked with them1 saying1 ,if it be your mind that ,i should bury my dead out of my sight1 hear me1 and entreat for me to ,ephron the son of ,zohar1 #jbc3jji that he may give me the cave of ,machpelah1 which he has1 which is in the end of his field4 ,for the full price let him give it to me among you for a possession of a burying-place4 #jbc3jaj ,now ,ephron was sitting in the middle of the children of ,heth4 ,ephron the ,hittite answered ,abraham in the hearing of the children of ,heth1 even of all who went in at the gate of his city1 saying1 #jbc3jaa ,no1 my lord1 hear me4 ,i give you the field1 and ,i give you the cave that is in it4 ,in the presence of the children of my people ,i give it to you4 ,bury your

give the price of the field4 ,take it from me1 and ,i will bury my dead there4 #jbc3jad ,ephron answered ,abraham1 saying to him1 #jbc3jae ,my lord1 listen to me4 ,what is a piece of land worth four

children of ,heth1 four hundred shekels of silver1 according to the current merchants' standard4 #jbc3jag ,so the field of ,ephron1 which was in ,machpelah1 which was before ,mamre1 the field1 the cave which was in it1 and all the trees that were in the field1 that were in all of its borders1 were deeded #jbc3jah to ,abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of ,heth1 before all

,the field1 and the cave that is in it1 were deeded to ,abraham for a possession of a burying place by the children of ,heth4 #jbd3jja ,abraham was old1 and well stricken in age4 ,yahweh had blessed ,abraham in all things4 #jbd3jjb ,abraham said to his servant1 the elder of his house1 who ruled over all that he had1 ,please put your hand under my thigh4 #jbd3jjc ,i will make you swear by ,yahweh1 the ,god of heaven and the ,god of the earth1 that you shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the ,canaanites1 among whom ,i live4 #jbd3jjd ,but you shall go to my country1 and to my

#jbd3jjf ,abraham said to him1 ,beware that you don't bring my son there again4 #jbd3jjg ,yahweh1 the ,god of heaven1 who took me from my father's house1 and from the land of my birth1 who spoke to

a little water from your pitcher4 #jbd3jah ,she said1 ,drink1 my lord4 ,she hurried1 and let down her pitcher on her hand1 and gave him drink4 #jbd3jai ,when she had done giving him drink1 she said1 ,i will also draw for your camels1 until they have done drinking4 #jbd3jbj ,she hurried1 and emptied her pitcher into the trough1 and ran again to the well to draw1 and drew for all his camels4 #jbd3jba ,the man looked steadfastly at her1 remaining silent1 to know whether ,yahweh had made his journey prosperous or not4 #jbd3jbb ,it happened1 as the camels had done drinking1 that the man took

brought him to his house4 ,jacob told ,laban all these things4 #jbi3jad ,laban said to him1 ,surely you are my bone and my flesh4 ,he lived with him for a month4 #jbi3jae ,laban said to ,jacob1 ,because you are my brother1 should you therefore serve me for nothing8 ,tell me1 what will your wages be8 #jbi3jaf ,laban had two daughters4 ,the name of the elder was ,leah1 and the name of the

was hated1 and he opened her womb1 but ,rachel was barren4 #jbi3jcb ,leah conceived1 and bore a son1 and she named him ,reuben4 ,for she said1 ,because ,yahweh has looked at my affliction4 ,for now my husband will love me4 #jbi3jcc ,she conceived again1 and bore a son1 and said1 ,because ,yahweh has heard that ,i am hated1 he has therefore given me this son also4 ,she named him ,simeon4 #jbi3jcd

happened1 when ,rachel had borne ,joseph1 that ,jacob said to ,laban1 ,send me away1 that ,i may go to my own place1 and to my country4 #jcj3jbf ,give me my wives and my children for whom ,i have served you1 and let me go2 for you know my service with which ,i have served you4 #jcj3jbg ,laban said to him1 ,if now ,i have found favor in your eyes1 stay here1 for ,i have divined that ,yahweh has blessed me for your sake4 #jcj3jbh ,he said1 ,appoint me your wages1 and ,i will give it4 #jcj3jbi ,he said to him1 ,you know how ,i have served you1 and how your livestock have fared with me4 #jcj3jcj ,for it was little which you had before ,i came1 and it has increased to a multitude4 ,yahweh has blessed you wherever ,i turned4 ,now when will ,i provide for my own house also8 #jcj3jca ,he said1 ,what shall ,i give you8 ,jacob said1 ,you shall not give me anything4 ,if you will do this thing for me1 ,i will again feed your flock and keep it4 #jcj3jcb ,i will pass through all your flock today1 removing from there every speckled and spotted one1 and every black one among the sheep1 and the spotted and speckled among the goats4 ,this will be my hire4 #jcj3jcc ,so my righteousness will answer for me hereafter1 when you come concerning my hire that is before you4 ,every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats1 and black among the sheep1 that might be with me1 will be counted stolen4 #jcj3jcd ,laban said1 ,behold1 ,i desire it to be according to your word4 #jcj3jce ,that day1 he removed the male goats that were streaked and spotted1 and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted1 every one that had white in it1 and all the black ones among the sheep1 and gave them into the hand of his sons4 #jcj3jcf ,he set three days' journey between himself and ,jacob1 and ,jacob fed the rest of ,laban's flocks4 #jcj3jcg ,jacob took to himself rods of fresh poplar1 almond1 plane tree1 peeled white streaks in them1 and made the white appear which was in the rods4 #jcj3jch ,he set the rods which he had peeled opposite the flocks in the gutters in the watering-troughs where the flocks came to drink4 ,they conceived when they came to drink4 #jcj3jci ,the flocks conceived before the rods1 and the flocks brought forth streaked1 speckled1 and spotted4 #jcj3jdj ,jacob separated the lambs1 and set the faces of the flocks toward the streaked and all the black in the flock of ,laban3 and he put his own droves apart1 and didn't put them into ,laban's flock4 #jcj3jda ,it happened1 whenever the stronger of the flock conceived1 that ,jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters1 that they might conceive among the rods2 #jcj3jdb but when the flock were feeble1 he didn't put them in4 ,so the feebler were ,laban's1 and the stronger ,jacob's4 #jcj3jdc ,the man increased exceedingly1 and had large flocks1 female servants and male servants1 and camels and donkeys4 #jca3jja ,he heard the words of ,laban's sons1 saying1 ,jacob has taken away all that was our father's4 ,from that which was our father's1 has he gotten all this wealth4 #jca3jjb ,jacob saw the expression on ,laban's face1 and1 behold1 it was not toward him as before4 #jca3jjc ,yahweh said to ,jacob1 ,return to the land of your fathers1 and to your relatives1 and ,i will be with you4 #jca3jjd ,jacob sent and called ,rachel and ,leah to the field to his flock1 #jca3jje and said to them1 ,i see the expression on your father's face1 that it is not toward me as before2 but the ,god of my father has been with me4 #jca3jjf ,you know that ,i have served your father with all of my strength4 #jca3jjg ,your father has deceived me1 and changed my wages ten times1 but ,god didn't allow him to hurt me4 #jca3jjh ,if he said this1 ',the speckled will be your wages1' then all the flock bore speckled4 ,if he said this1 ',the streaked will be your wages1' then all the flock bore streaked4 #jca3jji ,thus ,god has taken away your father's livestock1 and given them to me4 #jca3jaj ,it happened during mating season that ,i lifted up my eyes1 and saw in a dream1 and behold1 the male goats which leaped on the flock were streaked1 speckled1 and grizzled4 #jca3jaa ,the angel of ,god said to me in the dream1 ',jacob1' and ,i said1 ',here ,i am4' #jca3jab ,he said1 ',now lift up your eyes1 and behold1 all the male goats which leap on the flock are streaked1 speckled1 and grizzled1 for ,i have seen all that ,laban does to you4 #jca3jac ,i am the ,god of ,bethel1 where you anointed a pillar1 where you vowed a vow to me4 ,now arise1 get out from this land1 and return to the land of your birth4' #jca3jad ,rachel and ,leah answered him1 ,is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house8 #jca3jae ,aren't we accounted by him as foreigners8 ,for he has sold us1 and has also quite devoured our money4 #jca3jaf ,for all the riches which ,god has taken away from our father1 that is ours and our children's4 ,now then1 whatever ,god has said to you1 do4 #jca3jag ,then ,jacob rose up1 and set his sons and his wives on the camels1 #jca3jah and he took away all his livestock1 and all his possessions which he had gathered1 including the livestock which he had gained in ,paddan ,aram1 to go to ,isaac his father1 to the land of ,canaan4 #jca3jai ,now ,laban had gone to shear his sheep3 and ,rachel stole the teraphimteraphim were household idols that may have been associated with inheritance rights to the household property4 that were her father's4 #jca3jbj ,jacob deceived ,laban the ,syrian1 in that he didn't tell him that he was running away4 #jca3jba ,so he fled with all that he had4 ,he rose up1 passed over the ,river1 and set his face toward the mountain of ,gilead4 #jca3jbb ,laban was told on the third day that ,jacob had fled4 #jca3jbc ,he took his relatives with him1 and pursued after him seven days' journey4 ,he overtook him in the mountain of ,gilead4 #jca3jbd ,god came to ,laban1 the ,syrian1 in a dream of the night1 and said to him1 ,take heed to yourself that you don't speak to ,jacob either good or bad4 #jca3jbe ,laban caught up with ,jacob4 ,now ,jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain1 and ,laban with his relatives encamped in the mountain of ,gilead4 #jca3jbf ,laban said to ,jacob1 ,what have you done1 that you have deceived me1 and carried away my daughters like captives of the sword8 #jca3jbg ,why did you flee secretly1 and deceive me1 and didn't tell me1 that ,i might have sent you away with mirth and with songs1 with tambourine and with harp2 #jca3jbh and didn't allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters8 ,now have you done foolishly4 #jca3jbi ,it is in the power of my hand to hurt you1 but the ,god of your father spoke to me last night1 saying1 ',take heed to yourself that you don't speak to ,jacob either good or bad4' #jca3jcj ,now1 you want to be gone1 because you greatly longed for your father's house1 but why have you stolen my gods8 #jca3jca ,jacob answered ,laban1 ,because ,i was afraid1 for ,i said1 ',lest you should take your daughters from me by force4' #jca3jcb ,anyone you find your gods with shall not live4 ,before our relatives1 discern what is yours with me1 and take it4 ,for ,jacob didn't know that ,rachel had stolen them4 #jca3jcc ,laban went into ,jacob's tent1 into ,leah's tent1 and into the tent of the two female servants2 but he didn't find them4 ,he went out of ,leah's tent1 and entered into ,rachel's tent4 #jca3jcd ,now ,rachel had taken the teraphim1 put them in the camel's saddle1 and sat on them4 ,laban felt about all the tent1 but didn't find them4 #jca3jce ,she said to her father1 ,don't let my lord be angry that ,i can't rise up before you2 for the manner of women is on me4 ,he searched1 but didn't find the teraphim4 #jca3jcf ,jacob was angry1 and argued with ,laban4 ,jacob answered ,laban1 ,what is my trespass8 ,what is my sin1 that you have hotly pursued after me8 #jca3jcg ,now that you have felt around in all my stuff1 what have you found of all your household stuff8 ,set it here before my relatives and your relatives1 that they may judge between us two4 #jca3jch ,these twenty years ,i have been with you4 ,your ewes and your female goats have not cast their young1 and ,i haven't eaten the rams of your flocks4 #jca3jci ,that which was torn of animals1 ,i didn't bring to you4 ,i bore the loss of it4 ,of my hand you required it1 whether stolen by day or stolen by night4 #jca3jdj ,this was my situation3 in the day the drought consumed me1 and the frost by night2 and my sleep fled from my eyes4 #jca3jda ,these twenty years ,i have been in your house4 ,i served you fourteen years for your two daughters1 and six years for your flock1 and you have changed my wages ten times4 #jca3jdb ,unless the ,god of my father1 the ,god of ,abraham1 and the fear of ,isaac1 had been with me1 surely now you would have sent me away empty4 ,god has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands1 and rebuked you last night4 #jca3jdc ,laban answered ,jacob1 ,the daughters are my daughters1 the children are my children1 the flocks are my flocks1 and all that you see is mine3 and what can ,i do this day to these my daughters1 or to their children whom they have borne8 #jca3jdd ,now come1 let us make a covenant1 you and ,i2 and let it be for a witness between me and you4 #jca3jde ,jacob took a stone1 and set it up for a pillar4 #jca3jdf ,jacob said to his relatives1 ,gather stones4 ,they took stones1 and made a heap4 ,they ate there by the heap4 #jca3jdg ,laban called it ,jegar ,sahadutha1,jegar ,sahadutha means ,witness ,heap in ,aramaic4 but ,jacob called it ,galeed4,galeed means ,witness ,heap in ,hebrew4 #jca3jdh ,laban said1 ,this heap is witness between me and you this day4 ,therefore it was named ,galeed #jca3jdi and ,mizpah1 for he said1 ,yahweh watch between me and you1 when we are absent one from another4 #jca3jej ,if you afflict my daughters1 or if you take wives besides my daughters1 no man is with us2 behold1 ,god is witness between me and you4 #jca3jea ,laban said to ,jacob1 ,see this heap1 and see the pillar1 which ,i have set between me and you4 #jca3jeb ,may this heap be a witness1 and the pillar be a witness1 that ,i will not pass over this heap to you1 and that you will not pass over this heap and this pillar to me1 for harm4 #jca3jec ,the ,god of ,abraham1 and the ,god of ,nahor1 the ,god of their father1 judge between us4 ,then ,jacob swore by the fear of his father1 ,isaac4 #jca3jed ,jacob offered a sacrifice in the mountain1 and called his relatives to eat bread4 ,they ate bread1 and stayed all night in the mountain4 #jca3jee ,early in the morning1 ,laban rose up1 and kissed his sons and his daughters1 and blessed them4 ,laban departed and returned to his place4 #jcb3jja ,jacob went on his way1 and the angels of ,god met him4 #jcb3jjb ,when he saw them1 ,jacob said1 ,this is ,god's army4 ,he called the name of that place ,mahanaim4 #jcb3jjc ,jacob sent messengers in front of him to ,esau1 his brother1 to the land of ,seir1 the field of ,edom4 #jcb3jjd ,he commanded them1 saying1 ,this is what you shall tell my lord1 ,esau3 ',this is what your servant1 ,jacob1 says4 ,i have lived as a foreigner with ,laban1 and stayed until now4 #jcb3jje ,i have oxen1 donkeys1 flocks1 male servants1 and female servants4 ,i have sent to tell my lord1 that ,i may find favor in your sight4' #jcb3jjf ,the messengers returned to ,jacob1 saying1 ,we came to your brother ,esau4 ,not only that1 but he comes to meet you1 and four hundred men with him4 #jcb3jjg ,then ,jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed4 ,he divided the people who were with him1 and the flocks1 and the herds1 and the camels1 into two companies2 #jcb3jjh and he said1 ,if ,esau comes to the one company1 and strikes it1 then the company which is left will escape4 #jcb3jji ,jacob said1 ,god of my father ,abraham1 and ,god of my father ,isaac1 ,yahweh1 who said to me1 ',return to your country1 and to your relatives1 and ,i will do you good1' #jcb3jaj ,i am not worthy of the least of all the loving kindnesses1 and of all the truth1 which you have shown to your servant2 for with just my staff ,i passed over this ,jordan2 and now ,i have become two companies4 #jcb3jaa ,please deliver me from the hand of my brother1 from the hand of ,esau3 for ,i fear him1 lest he come and strike me1 and the mothers with the children4 #jcb3jab ,you said1 ',i will surely do you good1 and make your seed as the sand of the sea1 which can't be numbered because there are so many4' #jcb3jac ,he lodged there that night1 and took from that which he had with him1 a present for ,esau1 his brother3 #jcb3jad two hundred female goats and twenty male goats1 two hundred ewes and twenty rams1 #jcb3jae thirty milk camels and their colts1 forty cows1 ten bulls1 twenty female donkeys and ten foals4 #jcb3jaf ,he delivered them into the hands of his servants1 every herd by itself1 and said to his servants1 ,pass over before me1 and put a space between herd and herd4 #jcb3jag ,he commanded the foremost1 saying1 ,when ,esau1 my brother1 meets you1 and asks you1 saying1 ',whose are you8 ,where are you going8 ,whose are these before you8' #jcb3jah ,then you shall say1 ',they are your servant1 ,jacob's4 ,it is a present sent to my lord1 ,esau4 ,behold1 he also is behind us4' #jcb3jai ,he commanded also the second1 and the third1 and all that followed the herds1 saying1 ,this is how you shall speak to ,esau1 when you find him4 #jcb3jbj ,you shall say1 ',not only that1 but behold1 your servant1 ,jacob1 is behind us4' ,for1 he said1 ,i will appease him with the present that goes before me1 and afterward ,i will see his face4 ,perhaps he will accept me4 #jcb3jba ,so the present passed over before him1 and he himself lodged that night in the camp4 #jcb3jbb ,he rose up that night1 and took his two wives1 and his two handmaids1 and his eleven sons1 and passed over the ford of the ,jabbok4 #jcb3jbc ,he took them1 and sent them over the stream1 and sent over that which he had4 #jcb3jbd ,jacob was left alone1 and wrestled with a man there until the breaking of the day4 #jcb3jbe ,when he saw that he didn't prevail against him1 he touched the hollow of his thigh1 and the hollow of ,jacob's thigh was strained1 as he wrestled4 #jcb3jbf ,the man said1 ,let me go1 for the day breaks4 ,jacob said1 ,i won't let you go1 unless you bless me4 #jcb3jbg ,he said to him1 ,what is your name8 ,he said1 ,jacob4 #jcb3jbh ,he said1 ,your name will no longer be called ,jacob1 but ,israel2 for you have fought with ,god and with men1 and have prevailed4 #jcb3jbi ,jacob asked him1 ,please tell me your name4 ,he said1 ,why is it that you ask what my name is8 ,he blessed him there4 #jcb3jcj ,jacob called the name of the place ,peniel,peniel means face of ,god43 for1 he said1 ,i have seen ,god face to face1 and my life is preserved4 #jcb3jca ,the sun rose on him as he passed over ,peniel1 and he limped because of his thigh4 #jcb3jcb ,therefore the children of ,israel don't eat the sinew of the hip1 which is on the hollow of the thigh1 to this day1 because he touched the hollow of ,jacob's thigh in the sinew of the hip4 #jcc3jja ,jacob lifted up his eyes1 and looked1 and1 behold1 ,esau was coming1 and with him four hundred men4 ,he divided the children between ,leah1 ,rachel1 and the two handmaids4 #jcc3jjb ,he put the handmaids and their children in front1 ,leah and her children after1 and ,rachel and ,joseph at the rear4 #jcc3jjc ,he himself passed over in front of them1 and bowed himself to the ground seven times1 until he came near to his brother4 #jcc3jjd ,esau ran to meet him1 embraced him1 fell on his neck1 kissed him1 and they wept4 #jcc3jje ,he lifted up his eyes1 and saw the women and the children2 and said1 ,who are these with you8 ,he said1 ,the children whom ,god has graciously given your servant4 #jcc3jjf ,then the handmaids came near with their children1 and they bowed themselves4 #jcc3jjg ,leah also and her children came near1 and bowed themselves4 ,after them1 ,joseph came near with ,rachel1 and they bowed themselves4 #jcc3jjh ,esau said1 ,what do you mean by all this company which ,i met8 ,jacob said1 ,to find favor in the sight of my lord4 #jcc3jji ,esau said1 ,i have enough1 my brother2 let that which you have be yours4 #jcc3jaj ,jacob said1 ,please1 no1 if ,i have now found favor in your sight1 then receive my present at my hand1 because ,i have seen your face1 as one sees the face of ,god1 and you were pleased with me4 #jcc3jaa ,please take the gift that ,i brought to you1 because ,god has dealt graciously with me1 and because ,i have enough4 ,he urged him1 and he took it4 #jcc3jab ,esau said1 ,let us take our journey1 and let us go1 and ,i will go before you4 #jcc3jac ,jacob said to him1 ,my lord knows that the children are tender1 and that the flocks and herds with me have their young1 and if they overdrive them one day1 all the flocks will die4 #jcc3jad ,please let my lord pass over before his servant1 and ,i will lead on gently1 according to the pace of the livestock that are before me and according to the pace of the children1 until ,i come to my lord to ,seir4 #jcc3jae ,esau said1 ,let me now leave with you some of the folk who are with me4 ,he said1 ,why8 ,let me find favor in the sight of my lord4 #jcc3jaf ,so ,esau returned that day on his way to ,seir4 #jcc3jag ,jacob traveled to ,succoth1 built himself a house1 and made shelters for his livestock4 ,therefore the name of the place is called ,succoth4succoth means shelters or booths4 #jcc3jah ,jacob came in peace to the city of ,shechem1 which is in the land of ,canaan1 when he came from ,paddan ,aram2 and encamped before the city4 #jcc3jai ,he bought the parcel of ground where he had spread his tent1 at the hand of the children of ,hamor1 ,shechem's father1 for one hundred pieces of money4 #jcc3jbj ,he erected an altar there1 and called it ,el ,elohe ,israel4,el ,elohe ,israel means ,god1 the ,god of ,israel or ,the ,god of ,israel is mighty4 #jcd3jja ,dinah1 the daughter of ,leah1 whom she bore to ,jacob1 went out to see the daughters of the land4 #jcd3jjb ,shechem the son of ,hamor the ,hivite1 the prince of the land1 saw her4 ,he took her1 lay with her1 and humbled her4 #jcd3jjc ,his soul joined to ,dinah1 the daughter of ,jacob1 and he loved the young lady1 and spoke kindly to the young lady4 #jcd3jjd ,shechem spoke to his father1 ,hamor1 saying1 ,get me this young lady as a wife4 #jcd3jje ,now ,jacob heard that he had defiled ,dinah1 his daughter2 and his sons were with his livestock in the field4 ,jacob held his peace until they came4 #jcd3jjf ,hamor the father of ,shechem went out to ,jacob to talk with him4 #jcd3jjg ,the sons of ,jacob came in from the field when they heard it4 ,the men were grieved1 and they were very angry1 because he had done folly in ,israel in lying with ,jacob's daughter2 a which thing ought not to be done4 #jcd3jjh ,hamor talked with them1 saying1 ,the soul of my son1 ,shechem1 longs for your daughter4 ,please give her to him as a wife4 #jcd3jji ,make marriages with us4 ,give your daughters to us1 and take our daughters for yourselves4 #jcd3jaj ,you shall dwell with us1 and the land will be before you4 ,live and trade in it1 and get possessions in it4 #jcd3jaa ,shechem said to her father and to her brothers1 ,let me find favor in your eyes1 and whatever you will tell me ,i will give4 #jcd3jab ,ask me a great amount for a dowry1 and ,i will give whatever you ask of me1 but give me the young lady as a wife4 #jcd3jac ,the sons of ,jacob answered ,shechem and ,hamor his father with deceit1 and spoke1 because he had defiled ,dinah their sister1 #jcd3jad and said to them1 ,we can't do this thing1 to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised2 for that is a reproach to us4 #jcd3jae ,only on this condition will we consent to you4 ,if you will be as we are1 that every male of you be circumcised2 #jcd3jaf then will we give our daughters to you1 and we will take your daughters to us1 and we will dwell with you1 and we will become one people4 #jcd3jag ,but if you will not listen to us1 to be circumcised1 then we will take our sister1,hebrew has1 literally1 daughter and we will be gone4 #jcd3jah ,their words pleased ,hamor and ,shechem1 ,hamor's son4 #jcd3jai ,the young man didn't wait to do this thing1 because he had delight in ,jacob's daughter1 and he was honored above all the house of his father4 #jcd3jbj ,hamor and ,shechem1 his son1 came to the gate of their city1 and talked with the men of their city1 saying1 #jcd3jba ,these men are peaceful with us4 ,therefore let them live in the land and trade in it4 ,for behold1 the land is large enough for them4 ,let us take their daughters to us for wives1 and let us give them our daughters4 #jcd3jbb ,only on this condition will the men consent to us to live with us1 to become one people1 if every male among us is circumcised1 as they are circumcised4 #jcd3jbc ,won't their livestock and their possessions and all their

circumcised1 all who went out of the gate of his city4 #jcd3jbe ,it happened on the third day1 when they were sore1 that two of ,jacob's sons1 ,simeon and ,levi1 ,dinah's brothers1 each took his

and he killed him also4 #jch3jaa ,then ,judah said to ,tamar1 his daughter-in-law1 ,remain a widow in your father's house1 until ,shelah1 my son1 is grown up2 for he said1 ,lest he also die1 like his brothers4 ,tamar went and lived in her father's house4 #jch3jab ,after many days1 ,shua's daughter1 the wife of ,judah1 died4 ,judah was comforted1 and went up to his sheepshearers to ,timnah1 he and

widowhood1 and covered herself with her veil1 and wrapped herself1 and sat in the gate of ,enaim1 which is by the way to ,timnah2 for she saw that ,shelah was grown up1 and she wasn't given to him as a wife4 #jch3jae ,when ,judah saw her1 he thought that she was a prostitute1 for she had covered her face4 #jch3jaf ,he turned to her by the way1 and said1 ,please come1 let me come in to you1 for he didn't know that she was his daughter-in-law4 ,she said1 ,what will you give me1 that you may come in to me8 #jch3jag ,he said1 ,i will send you a kid of the goats from the flock4 ,she said1 ,will you give me a pledge1 until you send it8 #jch3jah ,he said1 ,what pledge will ,i give you8 ,she said1 ,your signet and your cord1 and your staff that is in your hand4 ,he gave them to her1 and came in to her1 and she conceived by him4 #jch3jai ,she arose1 and went away1 and put off her veil from her1 and put on the garments of her widowhood4 #jch3jbj ,judah sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his

road8 ,they said1 ,there has been no prostitute here4 #jch3jbb ,he returned to ,judah1 and said1 ,i haven't found her2 and also the men of the place said1 ',there has been no prostitute here4' #jch3jbc ,judah said1 ,let her keep it1 lest we be shamed4 ,behold1 ,i sent this kid1 and you haven't found her4 #jch3jbd ,it happened about three months later1 that it was told ,judah1 saying1 ,tamar1 your daughter-in-law1 has played the prostitute2 and moreover1 behold1 she is with child by prostitution4 ,judah said1 ,bring her forth1 and let her be burnt4 #jch3jbe ,when she was brought forth1 she sent to her father-in-law1 saying1 ,by the man1 whose these are1 ,i am with child4 ,she also said1 ,please discern whose are these--the signet1 and the cords1 and the staff4 #jch3jbf ,judah acknowledged them1 and said1 ,she is more righteous than ,i1 because ,i didn't give her to ,shelah1 my son4 ,he knew her again no more4 #jch3jbg ,it happened in the time of her travail1 that behold1 twins were in her womb4 #jch3jbh ,when she travailed1 one put out a hand1 and the midwife took and tied a scarlet thread on his hand1 saying1 ,this came out first4 #jch3jbi ,it happened1 as he drew back his hand1 that behold1 his brother came out1 and she said1 ,why have you made a breach for yourself8 ,therefore his name was called ,perez4,perez means breaking out4 #jch3jcj ,afterward his brother came out1 that had the scarlet thread on his hand1 and his name was called ,zerah4,zerah means scarlet or brightness4 #jci3jja ,joseph was brought down to ,egypt4 ,potiphar1 an officer of

,he ministered to him1 and he made him overseer over his house1 and all that he had he put into his hand4 #jci3jje ,it happened from the time that he made him overseer in his house1 and over all that he had1 that ,yahweh blessed the ,egyptian's house for ,joseph's sake2 and the blessing of ,yahweh was on all that he had1 in the house and in the field4 #jci3jjf ,he left all that he had in ,joseph's hand4 ,he didn't concern himself with anything1 except for the food which he ate4 ,joseph was well-built and handsome4 #jci3jjg ,it happened after these things1 that his master's wife cast her eyes on ,joseph2 and she said1 ,lie with me4 #jci3jjh ,but he refused1 and said to his master's wife1 ,behold1 my master doesn't know what is with me in the house1 and he has put all that he has into my hand4 #jci3jji ,he isn't greater in this house than ,i1 neither has he kept back anything from me but you1 because you are his wife4 ,how then can ,i do this great wickedness1 and sin against ,god8 #jci3jaj ,as she spoke to ,joseph day by day1 he didn't listen to her1 to lie by her1 or to be with her4 #jci3jaa ,about this time1 he went into the house to do his work1 and there were none of the men of the house inside4 #jci3jab ,she caught him by his garment1 saying1 ,lie with me6 ,he left his garment in her hand1 and ran outside4 #jci3jac ,when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand1 and had run outside1 #jci3jad she called to the men of her house1 and spoke to them1 saying1 ,behold1 he has brought in a ,hebrew to us to mock us4 ,he came in to me to lie with me1 and ,i cried with a loud

#jci3jag ,she spoke to him according to these words1 saying1 ,the ,hebrew servant1 whom you have brought to us1 came in to me to mock me1 #jci3jah and it happened1 as ,i lifted up my voice and cried1 that he left his garment by me1 and ran outside4 #jci3jai ,it happened1 when his master heard the words of his wife1 which she spoke to him1 saying1 ,this is what your servant did to me1 that his wrath was kindled4 #jci3jbj ,joseph's master took him1 and put him into the prison1 the place where the king's prisoners were bound1 and he was there in custody4 #jci3jba ,but ,yahweh was with ,joseph1 and showed kindness to him1 and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison4 #jci3jbb ,the keeper of the prison committed to ,joseph's hand all the prisoners who were in the prison4 ,whatever they did there1 he was responsible for it4 #jci3jbc ,the keeper of the prison didn't look after anything that was under his hand1 because ,yahweh was with him2 and that which he did1 ,yahweh made it prosper4 #jdj3jja ,it happened after these things1 that the butler of the king of ,egypt and his baker offended their lord1 the king of ,egypt4 #jdj3jjb ,pharaoh was angry with his two officers1 the chief cupbearer and the chief baker4 #jdj3jjc ,he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard1 into the prison1 the place where ,joseph was bound4 #jdj3jjd ,the captain of the guard assigned them to ,joseph1 and he took care of them4 ,they stayed in prison many days4 #jdj3jje ,they both dreamed a dream1 each man his dream1 in one night1 each man according to the interpretation of his dream1 the cupbearer and the baker of the king of ,egypt1 who were bound in the prison4 #jdj3jjf ,joseph came in to them in the morning1 and saw them1 and saw that they were sad4 #jdj3jjg ,he asked ,pharaoh's officers who were with him in custody in his master's house1 saying1 ,why do you look so sad today8 #jdj3jjh ,they said to him1 ,we have dreamed a dream1 and there is no one who can interpret it4 ,joseph said to them1 ,don't interpretations belong to ,god8 ,please tell it to me4 #jdj3jji ,the chief cupbearer told his dream to ,joseph1 and said to him1 ,in my dream1 behold1 a vine was in front of me1 #jdj3jaj and in the vine were three branches4 ,it was as though it budded1 its blossoms shot forth1 and the clusters of it brought forth ripe grapes4 #jdj3jaa ,pharaoh's cup was in my hand2 and ,i took the grapes1 and pressed them into ,pharaoh's cup1 and ,i gave the cup into ,pharaoh's hand4 #jdj3jab ,joseph said to him1 ,this is the interpretation of it3 the three branches are three days4 #jdj3jac ,within three more days1 ,pharaoh will lift up your head1 and restore you to your office4 ,you will give ,pharaoh's cup into his hand1 the way you did when you were his cupbearer4 #jdj3jad ,but remember me when it will be well with you1 and show kindness1 please1 to me1 and make mention of me to ,pharaoh1 and bring me out of this house4 #jdj3jae ,for indeed1 ,i was stolen away out of the land of the ,hebrews1 and here also have ,i done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon4 #jdj3jaf ,when the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good1 he said to ,joseph1 ,i also was in my dream1 and behold1 three baskets of white bread were on my head4 #jdj3jag ,in the uppermost basket there was all kinds of baked food for ,pharaoh1 and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head4 #jdj3jah ,joseph answered1 ,this is the interpretation of it4 ,the three baskets are three days4 #jdj3jai ,within three more days1 ,pharaoh will lift up your head from off you1 and will hang you on a tree2 and the birds will eat your flesh from off you4 #jdj3jbj ,it happened the third day1 which was ,pharaoh's birthday1 that he made a feast for all his servants1 and he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants4 #jdj3jba ,he restored the chief cupbearer to his position again1 and he gave the cup into ,pharaoh's hand2 #jdj3jbb but he hanged the chief baker1 as ,joseph had interpreted to them4 #jdj3jbc ,yet the chief cupbearer didn't remember ,joseph1 but forgot him4 #jda3jja ,it happened at the end of two full years1 that ,pharaoh dreamed3 and behold1 he stood by the river4 #jda3jjb ,behold1 there came up out of the river seven cattle1 sleek and fat1 and they fed in the marsh grass4 #jda3jjc ,behold1 seven other cattle came up after them out of the river1 ugly and thin1 and stood by the other cattle on the brink of the river4 #jda3jjd ,the ugly and thin cattle ate up the seven sleek and fat cattle4 ,so ,pharaoh awoke4 #jda3jje ,he slept and dreamed a second time3 and behold1 seven heads of grain came up on one stalk1 healthy and good4 #jda3jjf ,behold1 seven heads of grain1 thin and blasted with the east wind1 sprung up after them4 #jda3jjg ,the thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven healthy and full ears4 ,pharaoh awoke1 and behold1 it was a dream4 #jda3jjh ,it happened in the morning that his spirit was troubled1 and he sent and called for all of ,egypt's magicians and wise men4 ,pharaoh told them his dreams1 but there was no one who could interpret them to ,pharaoh4 #jda3jji ,then the chief cupbearer spoke to ,pharaoh1 saying1 ,i remember my faults today4 #jda3jaj ,pharaoh was angry with his servants1 and put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard1 me and the chief baker4 #jda3jaa ,we dreamed a dream in one night1 ,i and he4 ,we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream4 #jda3jab ,there was with us there a young man1 a ,hebrew1 servant to the captain of the guard1 and we told him1 and he interpreted to us our dreams4 ,to each man according to his dream he interpreted4 #jda3jac ,it happened1 as he interpreted to us1 so it was3 he restored me to my office1 and he hanged him4 #jda3jad ,then ,pharaoh sent and called ,joseph1 and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon4 ,he shaved himself1 changed his clothing1 and came in to ,pharaoh4 #jda3jae ,pharaoh said to ,joseph1 ,i have dreamed a dream1 and there is no one who can interpret it4 ,i have heard it said of you1 that when you hear a dream you can interpret it4 #jda3jaf ,joseph answered ,pharaoh1 saying1 ,it isn't in me4 ,god will give ,pharaoh an answer of peace4 #jda3jag ,pharaoh spoke to ,joseph1 ,in my dream1 behold1 ,i stood on the brink of the river3 #jda3jah and behold1 there came up out of the river seven cattle1 fat and sleek4 ,they fed in the marsh grass1 #jda3jai and behold1 seven other cattle came up after them1 poor and very ugly and thin1 such as ,i never saw in all the land of ,egypt for ugliness4 #jda3jbj ,the thin and ugly cattle ate up the first seven fat cattle1 #jda3jba and when they had eaten them up1 it couldn't be known that they had eaten them1 but they were still ugly1 as at the beginning4 ,so ,i awoke4 #jda3jbb ,i saw in my dream1 and behold1 seven heads of grain came up on one stalk1 full and good3 #jda3jbc and behold1 seven heads of grain1 withered1 thin1 and blasted with the east wind1 sprung up after them4 #jda3jbd ,the thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads of grain4 ,i told it to the magicians1 but there was no one who could explain it to me4 #jda3jbe ,joseph said to ,pharaoh1 ,the dream of ,pharaoh is one4 ,what ,god is about to do he has declared to ,pharaoh4 #jda3jbf ,the seven good cattle are seven years2 and the seven good heads of grain are seven years4 ,the dream is one4 #jda3jbg ,the seven thin and ugly cattle that came up after them are seven years1 and also the seven empty heads of grain blasted with the east wind2 they will be seven years of famine4 #jda3jbh ,that is the thing which ,i spoke to ,pharaoh4 ,what ,god is about to do he has shown to ,pharaoh4 #jda3jbi ,behold1 there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of ,egypt4 #jda3jcj ,there will arise after them seven years of famine1 and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of ,egypt4 ,the famine will consume the land1 #jda3jca and the plenty will not be known in the land by reason of that famine which follows2 for it will be very grievous4 #jda3jcb ,the dream was doubled to ,pharaoh1 because the thing is established by ,god1 and ,god will shortly bring it to pass4 #jda3jcc ,now therefore let ,pharaoh look for a discreet and wise man1 and set him over the land of ,egypt4 #jda3jcd ,let ,pharaoh do this1 and let him appoint overseers over the land1 and take up the fifth part of the land of ,egypt's produce in the seven plenteous years4 #jda3jce ,let them gather all the food of these good years that come1 and lay up grain under the hand of ,pharaoh for food in the cities1 and let them keep it4 #jda3jcf ,the food will be for a store to the land against the seven years of famine1 which will be in the land of ,egypt2 that the land not perish through the famine4 #jda3jcg ,the thing was good in the eyes of ,pharaoh1 and in the eyes of all his servants4 #jda3jch ,pharaoh said to his servants1 ,can we find such a one as this1 a man in whom is the ,spirit of ,god8 #jda3jci ,pharaoh said to ,joseph1 ,because ,god has shown you all of this1 there is none so discreet and wise as you4 #jda3jdj ,you shall be over my house1 and according to your word will all my people be ruled4 ,only in the throne ,i will be greater than you4 #jda3jda ,pharaoh said to ,joseph1 ,behold1 ,i have set you over all the land of ,egypt4 #jda3jdb ,pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand1 and put it on ,joseph's hand1 and arrayed him in robes of fine linen1 and put a gold chain about his neck1 #jda3jdc and he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had4 ,they cried before him1 ,bow the knee6 ,he set him over all the land of ,egypt4 #jda3jdd ,pharaoh said to ,joseph1 ,i am ,pharaoh1 and without you shall no man lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of ,egypt4 #jda3jde ,pharaoh called ,joseph's name ,zaphenath-,paneah2 and he gave him ,asenath1 the daughter of ,potiphera priest of ,on as a wife4 ,joseph went out over the land of ,egypt4 #jda3jdf ,joseph was thirty years old when he stood before ,pharaoh king of ,egypt4 ,joseph went out from the presence of ,pharaoh1 and went throughout all the land of ,egypt4 #jda3jdg ,in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth abundantly4 #jda3jdh ,he gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of ,egypt1 and laid up the food in the cities3 the food of the field1 which was round about every city1 he laid up in the same4 #jda3jdi ,joseph laid up grain as the sand of the sea1 very much1 until he stopped counting1 for it was without number4 #jda3jej ,to ,joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came1 whom ,asenath1 the daughter of ,potiphera priest of ,on1 bore to him4 #jda3jea ,joseph called the name of the firstborn ,manasseh1,manasseh sounds like the ,hebrew for forget4 ,for1 he said1 ,god has made me forget all my toil1 and all my father's house4 #jda3jeb ,the name of the second1 he called ,ephraim,ephraim sounds like the ,hebrew for twice fruitful43 ,for ,god has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction4 #jda3jec ,the seven years of plenty1 that were in the land of ,egypt1 came to an end4 #jda3jed ,the seven years of famine began to come1 just as ,joseph had said4 ,there was famine in all lands1 but in all the land of ,egypt there was bread4 #jda3jee ,when all the land of ,egypt was famished1 the people cried to ,pharaoh for bread1 and ,pharaoh said to all the ,egyptians1 ,go to ,joseph4 ,what he says to you1 do4 #jda3jef ,the famine was over all the surface of the earth4 ,joseph opened all the store houses1 and sold to the ,egyptians4 ,the famine was severe in the land of ,egypt4 #jda3jeg ,all countries came into ,egypt1 to ,joseph1 to buy grain1 because the famine was severe in all the earth4 #jdb3jja ,now ,jacob saw that there was grain in ,egypt1 and ,jacob said to his sons1 ,why do you look at one another8 #jdb3jjb ,he said1 ,behold1 ,i have heard that there is grain in ,egypt4 ,go down there1 and buy for us from there1 so that we may live1 and not die4 #jdb3jjc ,joseph's ten brothers went down to buy grain from ,egypt4 #jdb3jjd ,but ,jacob didn't send ,benjamin1 ,joseph's brother1 with his brothers2 for he said1 ,lest perhaps harm happen to him4 #jdb3jje ,the sons of ,israel came to buy among those who came1 for the famine was in the land of ,canaan4 #jdb3jjf ,joseph was the governor over the land4 ,it was he who sold to all the people of the land4 ,joseph's brothers came1 and bowed themselves down to him with their faces to the earth4 #jdb3jjg ,joseph saw his brothers1 and he recognized them1 but acted like a stranger to them1 and spoke roughly with them4 ,he said to them1 ,where did you come from8 ,they said1 ,from the land of ,canaan to buy food4 #jdb3jjh ,joseph recognized his brothers1 but they didn't recognize him4 #jdb3jji ,joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed about them1 and said to them1 ,you are spies6 ,you have come to see the nakedness of the land4 #jdb3jaj ,they said to him1 ,no1 my lord1 but your servants have come to buy food4 #jdb3jaa ,we are all one man's sons2 we are honest men4 ,your servants are not spies4 #jdb3jab ,he said to them1 ,no1 but you have come to see the nakedness of the land4 #jdb3jac ,they said1 ,we1 your servants1 are twelve brothers1 the sons of one man in the land of ,canaan2 and behold1 the youngest is this day with our father1 and one is no more4 #jdb3jad ,joseph said to them1 ,it is like ,i told you1 saying1 ',you are spies4' #jdb3jae ,by this you shall be tested4 ,by the life of ,pharaoh1 you shall not go forth from here1 unless your youngest brother comes here4 #jdb3jaf ,send one of you1 and let him get your brother1 and you shall be bound1 that your words may be tested1 whether there is truth in you1 or else by the life of ,pharaoh surely you are spies4 #jdb3jag ,he put them all together into custody for three days4 #jdb3jah ,joseph said to them the third day1 ,do this1 and live1 for ,i fear ,god4 #jdb3jai ,if you are honest men1 then let one of your brothers be bound in your prison2 but you go1 carry grain for the famine of your houses4 #jdb3jbj ,bring your youngest brother to me2 so will your words be verified1 and you won't die4 ,they did so4 #jdb3jba ,they said one to another1 ,we are certainly guilty concerning our brother1 in that we saw the distress of his soul1 when he begged us1 and we wouldn't listen4 ,therefore this distress has come upon us4 #jdb3jbb ,reuben answered them1 saying1 ,didn't ,i tell you1 saying1 ',don't sin against the child1' and you wouldn't listen8 ,therefore also1 behold1 his blood is required4 #jdb3jbc ,they didn't know that ,joseph understood them2 for there was an interpreter between them4 #jdb3jbd ,he turned himself away from them1 and wept4 ,then he returned to them1 and spoke to them1 and took ,simeon from among them1 and bound him before their eyes4 #jdb3jbe ,then ,joseph gave a command to fill their bags with grain1 and to restore every man's money into his sack1 and to give them food for the way4 ,so it was done to them4 #jdb3jbf ,they loaded their donkeys with their grain1 and departed from there4 #jdb3jbg ,as one of them opened his sack to give his donkey food in the lodging place1 he saw his money4 ,behold1 it was in the mouth of his sack4 #jdb3jbh ,he said to his brothers1 ,my money is restored6 ,behold1 it is in my sack6 ,their hearts failed them1 and they turned trembling one to another1 saying1 ,what is this that ,god has done to us8 #jdb3jbi ,they came to ,jacob their father1 to the land of ,canaan1 and told him all that had happened to them1 saying1 #jdb3jcj ,the man1 the lord of the land1 spoke roughly with us1 and took us for spies of the country4 #jdb3jca ,we said to him1 ',we are honest men4 ,we are no spies4 #jdb3jcb ,we are twelve brothers1 sons of our father2 one is no more1 and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of ,canaan4' #jdb3jcc ,the man1 the lord of the land1 said to us1 ',by this ,i will know that you are honest men3 leave one of your brothers with me1 and take grain for the famine of your houses1 and go your way4 #jdb3jcd ,bring your youngest brother to me4 ,then ,i will know that you are not spies1 but that you are honest men4 ,so ,i will deliver your brother to you1 and you shall trade in the land4' #jdb3jce ,it happened as they emptied their sacks1 that behold1 every man's bundle of money was in his sack4 ,when they and their father saw their bundles of money1 they were afraid4 #jdb3jcf ,jacob1 their father1 said to them1 ,you have bereaved me of my children6 ,joseph is no more1 ,simeon is no more1 and you want to take ,benjamin away4 ,all these things are against me4 #jdb3jcg ,reuben spoke to his father1 saying1 ,kill my two sons1 if ,i don't bring him to you4 ,entrust him to my care1 and ,i will bring him to you again4 #jdb3jch ,he said1 ,my son shall not go down with you2 for his brother is dead1 and he only is left4 ,if harm happens to him along the way in which you go1 then you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to ,sheol4 #jdc3jja ,the famine was severe in the land4 #jdc3jjb ,it happened1 when they had eaten up the grain which they had brought out of ,egypt1 their father said to them1 ,go again1 buy us a little more food4 #jdc3jjc ,judah spoke to him1 saying1 ,the man solemnly warned us1 saying1 ',you shall not see my face1 unless your brother is with you4' #jdc3jjd ,if you'll send our brother with us1 we'll go down and buy you food1 #jdc3jje but if you'll not send him1 we'll not go down1 for the man said to us1 ',you shall not see my face1 unless your brother is with you4' #jdc3jjf ,israel said1 ,why did you treat me so badly1 telling the man that you had another brother8 #jdc3jjg ,they said1 ,the man asked directly concerning ourselves1 and concerning our relatives1 saying1 ',is your father still alive8 ,have you another brother8' ,we just answered his questions4 ,is there any way we could know that he would say1 ',bring your brother down8' #jdc3jjh ,judah said to ,israel1 his father1 ,send the boy with me1 and we'll get up and go1 so that we may live1 and not die1 both we1 and you1 and also our little ones4 #jdc3jji ,i'll be collateral for him4 ,from my hand will you require him4 ,if ,i don't bring him to you1 and set him before you1 then let me bear the blame forever1 #jdc3jaj for if we hadn't delayed1 surely we would have returned a second time by now4 #jdc3jaa ,their father1 ,israel1 said to them1 ,if it must be so1 then do this4 ,take from the choice fruits of the land in your bags1 and carry down a present for the man1 a little balm1 a little honey1 spices and myrrh1 nuts1 and almonds2 #jdc3jab and take double money in your hand1 and take back the money that was returned in the mouth of your sacks4 ,perhaps it was an oversight4 #jdc3jac ,take your brother also1 get up1 and return to the man4 #jdc3jad ,may ,god ,almighty give you mercy before the man1 that he may release to you your other brother and ,benjamin4 ,if ,i am bereaved of my children1 ,i am bereaved4 #jdc3jae ,the men took that present1 and they took double money in their hand1 and ,benjamin2 and got up1 went down to ,egypt1 and stood before ,joseph4 #jdc3jaf ,when ,joseph saw ,benjamin with them1 he said to the steward of his house1 ,bring the men into the house1 and butcher an animal1 and make ready2 for the men will dine with me at noon4 #jdc3jag ,the man did as ,joseph commanded1 and the man brought the men to ,joseph's house4 #jdc3jah ,the men were afraid1 because they were brought to ,joseph's house2 and they said1 ,because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time1 we're brought in2 that he may seek occasion against us1 attack us1 and seize us as slaves1 along with our donkeys4 #jdc3jai ,they came near to the steward of ,joseph's house1 and they spoke to him at the door of the house1 #jdc3jbj and said1 ,oh1 my lord1 we indeed came down the first time to buy food4 #jdc3jba ,when we came to the lodging place1 we opened our sacks1 and behold1 every man's money was in the mouth of his sack1 our money in full weight4 ,we have brought it back in our hand4 #jdc3jbb ,we have brought down other money in our hand to buy food4 ,we don't know who put our money in our sacks4 #jdc3jbc ,he said1 ,peace be to you4 ,don't be afraid4 ,your ,god1 and the ,god of your father1 has given you treasure in your sacks4 ,i received your money4 ,he brought ,simeon out to them4 #jdc3jbd ,the man brought the men into ,joseph's house1 and gave them water1 and they washed their feet4 ,he gave their donkeys fodder4 #jdc3jbe ,they made ready the present for ,joseph's coming at noon1 for they heard that they should eat bread there4 #jdc3jbf ,when ,joseph came home1 they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house1 and bowed themselves down to him to the earth4 #jdc3jbg ,he asked them of their welfare1 and said1 ,is your father well1 the old man of whom you spoke8 ,is he yet alive8 #jdc3jbh ,they said1 ,your servant1 our father1 is well4 ,he is still alive4 ,they bowed the head1 and did homage4 #jdc3jbi ,he lifted up his eyes1 and saw ,benjamin1 his brother1 his mother's son1 and said1 ,is this your youngest brother1 of whom you spoke to me8 ,he said1 ,god be gracious to you1 my son4 #jdc3jcj ,joseph hurried1 for his heart yearned over his brother2 and he sought a place to weep4 ,he entered into his room1 and wept there4 #jdc3jca ,he washed his face1 and came out4 ,he controlled himself1 and said1 ,serve the meal4 #jdc3jcb ,they served him by himself1 and them by themselves1 and the ,egyptians1 that ate with him1 by themselves1 because the ,egyptians don't eat bread with the ,hebrews1 for that is an abomination to the ,egyptians4 #jdc3jcc ,they sat before him1 the firstborn according to his birthright1 and the youngest according to his youth1 and the men marveled one with another4 #jdc3jcd ,he sent portions to them from before him1 but ,benjamin's portion was five times as much as any of theirs4 ,they drank1 and were merry with him4 #jdd3jja ,he commanded the steward of his house1 saying1 ,fill the men's sacks with food1 as much as they can carry1 and put every man's money in his sack's mouth4 #jdd3jjb ,put my cup1 the silver cup1 in the sack's mouth of the youngest1 with his grain money4 ,he did according to the word that ,joseph had spoken4 #jdd3jjc ,as soon as the morning was light1 the men were sent away1 they and their donkeys4 #jdd3jjd ,when they had gone out of the city1 and were not yet far off1 ,joseph said to his steward1 ,up1 follow after the men4 ,when you overtake them1 ask them1 ',why have you rewarded evil for good8 #jdd3jje ,isn't this that from which my lord drinks1 and by which he indeed divines8 ,you have done evil in so doing4' #jdd3jjf ,he overtook them1 and he spoke these words to them4 #jdd3jjg ,they said to him1 ,why does my lord speak such words as these8 ,far be it from your servants that they should do such a thing6 #jdd3jjh ,behold1 the money1 which we found in our sacks' mouths1 we brought again to you out of the land of ,canaan4 ,how then should we steal silver or gold out of your lord's house8 #jdd3jji ,with whoever of your servants it be found1 let him die1 and we also will be my lord's bondservants4 #jdd3jaj ,he said1 ,now also let it be according to your words3 he with whom it is found will be my bondservant2 and you will be blameless4 #jdd3jaa ,then they hurried1 and every man took his sack down to the ground1 and every man opened his sack4 #jdd3jab ,he searched1 beginning with the eldest1 and ending at the youngest4 ,the cup was found in ,benjamin's sack4 #jdd3jac ,then they tore their clothes1 and every man loaded his donkey1 and returned to the city4 #jdd3jad ,judah and his brothers came to ,joseph's house1 and he was still there4 ,they fell on the ground before him4 #jdd3jae ,joseph said to them1 ,what deed is this that you have done8 ,don't you know that such a man as ,i can indeed divine8 #jdd3jaf ,judah said1 ,what will we tell my lord8 ,what will we speak8 ,or how will we clear ourselves8 ,god has found out the iniquity of your servants4 ,behold1 we are my lord's bondservants1 both we1 and he also in whose hand the cup is found4 #jdd3jag ,he said1 ,far be it from me that ,i should do so4 ,the man in whose hand the cup is found1 he will be my bondservant2 but as for you1 go up in peace to your father4 #jdd3jah ,then ,judah came near to him1 and said1 ,oh1 my lord1 please let your servant speak a word in my lord's ears1 and don't let your anger burn against your servant2 for you are even as ,pharaoh4 #jdd3jai ,my lord asked his servants1 saying1 ',have you a father1 or a brother8' #jdd3jbj ,we said to my lord1 ',we have a father1 an old man1 and a child of his old age1 a little one2 and his brother is dead1 and he alone is left of his mother2 and his father loves him4' #jdd3jba ,you said to your servants1 ',bring him down to me1 that ,i may set my eyes on him4' #jdd3jbb ,we said to my lord1 ',the boy can't leave his father3 for if he should leave his father1 his father would die4' #jdd3jbc ,you said to your servants1 ',unless your youngest brother comes down with you1 you will see my face no more4' #jdd3jbd ,it happened when we came up to your servant my father1 we told him the words of my lord4 #jdd3jbe ,our father said1 ',go again1 buy us a little food4' #jdd3jbf ,we said1 ',we can't go down4 ,if our youngest brother is with us1 then we will go down3 for we may not see the man's face1 unless our youngest brother is with us4' #jdd3jbg ,your servant1 my father1 said to us1 ',you know that my wife bore me two sons3 #jdd3jbh and the one went out from me1 and ,i said1 ,surely he is torn in pieces2 and ,i haven't seen him since4 #jdd3jbi ,if you take this one also from me1 and harm happens to him1 you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to ,sheol4' #jdd3jcj ,now therefore when ,i come to your servant my father1 and the boy is not with us2 seeing that his life is bound up in the boy's life2 #jdd3jca it will happen1 when he sees that the boy is no more1 that he will die4 ,your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant1 our father1 with sorrow to ,sheol4 #jdd3jcb ,for your servant became collateral for the boy to my father1 saying1 ',if ,i don't bring him to you1 then ,i will bear the blame to my father forever4' #jdd3jcc ,now therefore1 please let your servant stay instead of the boy1 a bondservant to my lord2 and let the boy go up with his brothers4 #jdd3jcd ,for how will ,i go up to my father1 if the boy isn't with me8-- lest ,i see the evil that will come on my father4 #jde3jja ,then ,joseph couldn't control himself before all those who stood before him1 and he cried1 ,cause every man to go out from me6 ,no one else stood with him1 while ,joseph made himself known to his brothers4 #jde3jjb ,he wept aloud4 ,the ,egyptians heard1 and the house of ,pharaoh heard4 #jde3jjc ,joseph said to his brothers1 ,i am ,joseph6 ,does my father still live8 ,his brothers couldn't answer him2 for they were terrified at his presence4 #jde3jjd ,joseph said to his brothers1 ,come near to me1 please4 ,they came near4 ,he said1 ,i am ,joseph1 your brother1 whom you sold into ,egypt4 #jde3jje ,now don't be grieved1 nor angry with yourselves1 that you sold me here1 for ,god sent me before you to preserve life4 #jde3jjf ,for these two years the famine has been in the land1 and there are yet five years1 in which there will be neither plowing nor harvest4 #jde3jjg ,god sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in the earth1 and to save you alive by a great deliverance4 #jde3jjh ,so now it wasn't you who sent me here1 but ,god1 and he has made me a father to ,pharaoh1 lord of all his house1 and ruler over all the land of ,egypt4 #jde3jji ,hurry1 and go up to my father1 and tell him1 ',this is what your son ,joseph says1 ,god has made me lord of all ,egypt4 ,come down to me4 ,don't wait4 #jde3jaj ,you shall dwell in the land of ,goshen1 and you will be near to me1 you1 your children1 your children's children1 your flocks1 your herds1 and all that you have4 #jde3jaa ,there ,i will nourish you2 for there are yet five years of famine2 lest you come to poverty1 you1 and your household1 and all that you have4' #jde3jab ,behold1 your eyes see1 and the eyes of my brother ,benjamin1 that it is my mouth that speaks to you4 #jde3jac ,you shall tell my father of all my glory in ,egypt1 and of all that you have seen4 ,you shall hurry and bring my father down here4 #jde3jad ,he fell on his brother ,benjamin's neck1 and wept1 and ,benjamin wept on his neck4 #jde3jae ,he kissed all his brothers1 and wept on them4 ,after that his brothers talked with him4 #jde3jaf ,the report of it was heard in ,pharaoh's house1 saying1 ,joseph's brothers have come4 ,it pleased ,pharaoh well1 and his servants4 #jde3jag ,pharaoh said to ,joseph1 ,tell your brothers1 ',do this4 ,load your animals1 and go1 travel to the land of ,canaan4 #jde3jah ,take your father and your households1 and come to me1 and ,i will give you the good of the land of ,egypt1 and you will eat the fat of the land4' #jde3jai ,now you are commanded3 do this4 ,take wagons out of the land of ,egypt for your little ones1 and for your wives1 and bring your father1 and come4 #jde3jbj ,also1 don't concern yourselves about your belongings1 for the good of all of the land of ,egypt is yours4 #jde3jba ,the sons of ,israel did so4 ,joseph gave them wagons1 according to the commandment of ,pharaoh1 and gave them provision for the way4 #jde3jbb ,he gave each one of them changes of clothing1 but to ,benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of clothing4 #jde3jbc ,to his father1 he sent after this manner3 ten donkeys loaded with the good things of ,egypt1 and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and provision for his father by the way4 #jde3jbd ,so he sent his brothers away1 and they departed4 ,he said to them1 ,see that you don't quarrel on the way4 #jde3jbe ,they went up out of ,egypt1 and came into the land of ,canaan1 to ,jacob their father4 #jde3jbf ,they told him1 saying1 ,joseph is still alive1 and he is ruler over all the land of ,egypt4 ,his heart fainted1 for he didn't believe them4 #jde3jbg ,they told him all the words of ,joseph1 which he had said to them4 ,when he saw the wagons which ,joseph had sent to carry him1 the spirit of ,jacob1 their father1 revived4 #jde3jbh ,israel said1 ,it is enough4 ,joseph my son is still alive4 ,i will go and see him before ,i die4 #jdf3jja ,israel traveled with all that he had1 and came to ,beersheba1 and offered sacrifices to the ,god of his father1 ,isaac4 #jdf3jjb ,god spoke to ,israel in the visions of the night1 and said1 ,jacob1 ,jacob6 ,he said1 ,here ,i am4 #jdf3jjc ,he said1 ,i am ,god1 the ,god of your father4 ,don't be afraid to go down into ,egypt1 for there ,i will make of you a great nation4 #jdf3jjd ,i will go down with you into ,egypt4 ,i will also surely bring you up again4 ,joseph will close your eyes4 #jdf3jje ,jacob rose up from ,beersheba1 and the sons of ,israel carried ,jacob1 their father1 their little ones1 and their wives1 in the wagons which ,pharaoh had sent to carry him4 #jdf3jjf ,they took their livestock1 and their goods1 which they had gotten in the land of

their families4 #jdg3jac ,there was no bread in all the land2 for the famine was very severe1 so that the land of ,egypt and the land of ,canaan fainted by reason of the famine4 #jdg3jad ,joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of ,egypt1 and in the land of ,canaan1 for the grain which they bought3 and ,joseph brought the money into ,pharaoh's house4 #jdg3jae ,when the

exceedingly4 #jdg3jbh ,jacob lived in the land of ,egypt seventeen years4 ,so the days of ,jacob1 the years of his life1 were one hundred forty-seven years4 #jdg3jbi ,the time drew near that ,israel must die1 and he called his son ,joseph1 and said to him1 ,if now ,i have found favor in your sight1 please put your hand under my thigh1 and deal kindly and truly with me4 ,please don't bury me in ,egypt1 #jdg3jcj but when ,i sleep with my fathers1 you shall carry me out of ,egypt1 and bury me in their burying place4 ,he said1 ,i will do as you have said4 #jdg3jca ,he said1 ,swear to me1 and he

the way to ,ephrath 7the same is ,bethlehem74 #jdh3jjh ,israel saw ,joseph's sons1 and said1 ,who are these8 #jdh3jji ,joseph said to his father1 ,they are my sons1 whom ,god has given me here4 ,he said1 ,please bring them to me1 and ,i will bless them4 #jdh3jaj ,now the eyes of ,israel were dim for age1 so that he couldn't see4 ,he brought them near to him2 and he kissed them1 and embraced them4 #jdh3jaa ,israel said to ,joseph1 ,i didn't think ,i would see your face1 and behold1 ,god has let me see your seed also4 #jdh3jab ,joseph brought them out from between his knees1 and he bowed himself with his face to the earth4 #jdh3jac ,joseph took them both1 ,ephraim in his right hand toward ,israel's left hand1 and ,manasseh in his left hand toward ,israel's right hand1 and brought them near to him4 #jdh3jad ,israel stretched out his right hand1 and laid it on ,ephraim's head1 who was the younger1 and his left hand on ,manasseh's head1 guiding his hands knowingly1 for ,manasseh was the firstborn4 #jdh3jae ,he blessed ,joseph1 and said1 ,the ,god before whom my fathers ,abraham and ,isaac did walk1 the ,god who has fed me all my life long to this day1 #jdh3jaf the angel who has redeemed me from all evil1 bless the lads1 and let my name be named on them1 and the name of my fathers ,abraham and ,isaac4 ,let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth4 #jdh3jag ,when ,joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of ,ephraim1 it displeased him4 ,he held up his father's hand1 to remove it from ,ephraim's head to ,manasseh's head4 #jdh3jah ,joseph said to his father1 ,not so1 my father2 for this is the firstborn2 put your right hand on his head4 #jdh3jai ,his father refused1 and said1 ,i know1 my son1 ,i know4 ,he also will become a people1 and he also will be great4 ,however1 his younger brother will be greater than he1 and his seed will become a multitude of nations4 #jdh3jbj ,he blessed them that day1 saying1 ,in you will ,israel bless1 saying1 ',god make you as ,ephraim and as ,manasseh' ,he set ,ephraim before ,manasseh4 #jdh3jba ,israel said to ,joseph1 ,behold1 ,i am dying1 but ,god will be with you1 and bring you again to the land of your fathers4 #jdh3jbb ,moreover ,i have given to you one portion above your brothers1 which ,i took out of the hand of the ,amorite with my sword and with my bow4 #jdi3jja ,jacob called to
