___Genesis chapter 1
 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
 2 And the earth was without form, and void, and darkness was on the face of the deep.  And the Spirit of God moved on the face of the waters.
 3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
 4 And God saw the light, that it was good, and God divided the light from the darkness.
 5 And God called the light Day, and he called the darkness Night.  And the evening and the morning were the first day.
 6 And God said, "Let there be a firmament in the middle of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters."
 7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters that were under the firmament from the waters that were above the firmament, and it was so.
 8 And God called the firmament heaven.  And the evening and the morning were the second day.
 9 And God said, "Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear," and it was so.
 10 And God called the dry land earth, and the gathering together of the waters he called seas, and God saw that it was good.
 11 And God said, "Let the earth produce grass, the plant yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth," and it was so.
 12 And the earth produced grass, and plant yielding seed after its kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after its kind, and God saw that it was good.
 13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
 14 And God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night, and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years,
 15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light on the earth," and it was so.
 16 And God made two great lights, the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night, he made the stars also.
 17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light on the earth,
 18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness, and God saw that it was good.
 19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
 20 And God said, "Let the waters produce abundantly the moving creature that has life, and birds that will fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven."
 21 And God created large whales, and every living creature that moves, that the waters produced abundantly after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind, and God saw that it was good.
 22 And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply in the earth."
 23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
 24 And God said, "Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind," and it was so.
 25 And God made the beast of the earth after its kind, and cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps on the earth after its kind, and God saw that it was good.
 26 And God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."
 27 So God created man in his own image, he created him in the image of God, he created male and female.
 28 And God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."
 29 And God said, "See, I've given you every plant bearing seed, that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed, to you it shall be for food.
 30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I've given every green plant for food," and it was so.
 31 And God saw everything that he had made, and see, it was very good.  And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

___Genesis chapter 2
 1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
 2 And on the seventh day God ended his work that he had made, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had made.
 3 And God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because in it he rested from all his work that God created and made.
 4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,
 5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every plant of the field before it grew, for the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
 6 But a mist went up from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
 7 And the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul.
 8 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
 9 And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food, the tree of life also in the middle of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
 10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it was divided, and became four heads.
 11 The name of the first is Pison, that's the one that surrounds the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold,
 12 And the gold of that land is good, there's bdellium and the onyx stone.
 13 And the name of the second river is Gihon, it's the one that surrounds the whole land of Ethiopia.
 14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel, it's the one that goes toward the east of Assyria.  And the fourth river is Euphrates.
 15 And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, "Of every tree of the garden you can eat freely,
 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it, for in the day that you eat of it you'll surely die."
 18 And the Lord God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone, I'll make him a helper appropriate for him."
 19 And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them, and whatever Adam called every living creature, that was the name of it.
 20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper right for him.
 21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept, and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead of it,
 22 And the rib, that the Lord God had taken from man, he made into a woman, and brought her to the man.
 23 And Adam said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh, she shall be called woman, because she was taken out of Man."
 24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall stick with his wife, and they'll be one flesh.
 25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

___Genesis chapter 3
 1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field that the Lord God had made.  And he said to the woman, "Yes, has God said, You shall not eat of every tree of the garden?"
 2 And the woman said to the serpent, "We can eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden,
 3 But of the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, God said, You shall not eat of it, nor shall you touch it, or you'll die."
 4 And the serpent said to the woman, "You won't surely die,
 5 For God knows that on the day you eat of it, then your eyes will be opened, and you'll be like gods, knowing good and evil."
 6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make you wise, she took some of its fruit, and ate, and gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.
 7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked, and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
 8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.
 9 And the Lord God called to Adam, and said to him, "Where are you?"
 10 And he said, "I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself."
 11 And he said, "Who told you that you were naked?  Have you eaten of the tree that I commanded you not to eat of?"
 12 And the man said, "The woman whom you gave to be with me, gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate."
 13 And the Lord God said to the woman, "What is this that you've done?"  And the woman said, "The serpent seduced me, and I ate."
 14 And the Lord God said to the serpent, "Because you've done this, you are cursed more than all cattle, and more than every beast of the field, you'll go on your belly, and you'll eat dust all the days of your life,
 15 And I will put friction between you and the woman, and between your descendants and her descendants, your head will be bruised, and you'll bruise their heel."
 16 To the woman he said, "I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception, in sorrow you'll give birth to children, and your desire shall be to your husband, and he'll rule over you."
 17 And to Adam he said, "Because you've listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree about which I commanded you, 'You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground for your sake, in sorrow you'll eat of it all the days of your life,
 18 It shall produce for you thorns also and thistles, and you'll eat the plants of the field,
 19 In the sweat of your face you'll eat bread, until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken, for you are dust, and to dust you'll return."
 20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of everyone living.
 21 For Adam also and for his wife the Lord God made coats of skins, and clothed them.
 22 And the Lord God said, "See, the man has become like one of us, to know good and evil, and now, so he won't put out his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever,"
 23 Therefore the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he'd been taken.
 24 So he drove out the man, and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden angels, and a flaming sword that turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

___Genesis chapter 4
 1 And Adam had sex with his wife, Eve, and she conceived, and gave birth to Cain, and said, "I've gotten a man from the Lord."
 2 And she again bore his brother Abel.  And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a farmer.
 3 And in process of time, Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to the Lord.
 4 And Abel also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat of it.  And the Lord had respect to Abel and to his offering,
 5 But to Cain and to his offering he didn't have respect.  And Cain was very angry, and his facial expression fell.
 6 And the Lord said to Cain, "Why are you angry?  And why has your facial expression fallen?
 7 If you do well, won't you be accepted?  And if you don't do well, sin lies at the door.  And his desire shall be to you, and you'll rule over him."
 8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother, and when they were in the field, Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and killed him.
 9 And the Lord said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?"  And he said, "I don't know, am I my brother's keeper?"
 10 And he said, "What have you done?  The voice of your brother's blood shouts to me from the ground.
 11 And now you are cursed from the earth, that has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand,
 12 From now on, when you till the ground, it won't yield to you its strength, you'll be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth."
 13 And Cain said to the Lord, "My punishment is more than I can cope with.
 14 See, you've driven me out this day from the face of the earth, and from your face I'll be hidden, and I'll be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth, and everyone that finds me shall kill me."
 15 And the Lord said to him, "Therefore whoever kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold."  And the Lord set a mark on Cain, so that no one finding him would kill him.
 16 And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and lived in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
 17 And Cain had sex with his wife, and she conceived, and bore Enoch, and he built a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
 18 And to Enoch was born Irad, and Irad begat Mehujael, and Mehujael begat Methusael, and Methusael begat Lamech.
 19 And Lamech took to himself two wives, the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
 20 And Adah bore Jabal, he was the father of those who live in tents, and of such as have cattle.
 21 And his brother's name was Jubal, he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
 22 And Zillah, also bore Tubalcain, an instructor of every craftsman in brass and iron, and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
 23 And Lamech said to his wives, Adah and Zillah, "Hear my voice, you wives of Lamech, listen to my speech, for I've killed a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
 24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy-sevenfold."
 25 And Adam had sex with his wife again, and she bore a son, and called his name Seth, "For God," said she, "has appointed me another child instead of Abel, whom Cain killed."
 26 And to Seth also there was born a son, and he called his name Enos, then men began to call on the name of the Lord.

___Genesis chapter 6
 1 And when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them,
 2 The sons of God saw that the daughters of men were attractive, and they took them wives of all that they chose.
 3 And the Lord said, "My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh, yet his days shall be one hundred twenty years."
 4 There were giants in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them, the same became mighty men that were of old, men of renown.
 5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was large in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
 6 And the Lord regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
 7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man, and animals, and the creeping thing, and the birds of the air, for I regret that I've made them.
 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
 9 These are the generations of Noah, Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
 10 And Noah fathered three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
 11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
 12 And God looked at the earth, and, see, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted his way on the earth.
 13 And God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before me, for the earth is filled with violence through them, and, see, I will destroy them with the earth.
 14 Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood, you shall make rooms in the ark, and shall pitch it inside and outside with pitch.
 15 And these are the dimensions that you'll make for the ark, the length of the ark shall be four hundred fifty feet, the width of it seventy five feet, and the height of it forty five feet.
 16 You shall make a window in the ark, and in a foot and a half you'll finish the top, and the door of the ark you'll set in the side of it, with lower, second, and third stories you shall make it.
 17 And, see, I, even I, do bring a flood of water on the earth, to destroy all flesh, in which is the breath of life, from under heaven, and everything that is in the earth shall die.
 18 But with you I'll establish my covenant, and you'll come into the ark, you, and your sons, and your wife, and your sons' wives with you.
 19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort you shall bring into the ark, to keep them alive with you, they shall be male and female.
 20 Of birds after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after its kind, two of every sort shall come to you, to keep them alive.
 21 And take to yourself of all food that is eaten, and you shall gather it to yourself, and it shall be for food for you, and for them."
 22 And Noah did that, according to all that God commanded him, that's what he did.

___Genesis chapter 7
 1 And the Lord said to Noah, "Come, and all your family into the ark, for I've seen you as righteous before me in this generation.
 2 Of every clean animal you shall take to yourself by sevens, the male and his female, and of animals that aren't clean by two, the male and his female.
 3 Of birds also of the air by sevens, the male and the female, to keep seed alive on the face of all the earth.
 4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and every living substance that I've made I'll destroy from off the face of the earth."
 5 And Noah did according to all that the Lord commanded him.
 6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was on the earth.
 7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
 8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of birds, and of everything that creeps on the earth,
 9 Two and two went in to Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
 10 And after seven days, the waters of the flood were on the earth.
 11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
 12 And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.
 13 In the same day Noah entered, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark,
 14 They, and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every kind.
 15 And they went in to Noah into the ark, two by two of all flesh, in which is the breath of life.
 16 And those who went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him, and the Lord shut him in.
 17 And the flood was on the earth forty days, and the waters increased, and lifted up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth.
 18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly on the earth, and the ark went on the surface of the waters.
 19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth, and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
 20 The waters prevailed upward twenty two and one half feet, and the mountains were covered.
 21 And all flesh died that moved on the earth, both of birds, and of cattle, and of animals, and of every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man,
 22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was on the dry land, died.
 23 And every living substance was destroyed that was on the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the birds of the heaven, and they were destroyed from the earth, and only Noah remained alive, and those who were with him in the ark.
 24 And the waters prevailed on the earth one hundred fifty days.

___Genesis chapter 8
 1 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark, and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters diminished,
 2 The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained,
 3 And the waters returned from off the earth continually, and after the end of the hundred fifty days the waters were much decreased.
 4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.
 5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month, in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.
 6 And at the end of forty days, Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made,
 7 And he sent out a raven, that went out, back and forth, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
 8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were gone from off the face of the ground,
 9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned to him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth, then he put out his hand, and took her, and pulled her to him into the ark.
 10 And he stayed yet seven more days, and again he sent out the dove out of the ark,
 11 And the dove came in to him in the evening, and, see, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off, so Noah knew that the waters were gone from off the earth.
 12 And he stayed yet seven more days, and sent out the dove, which didn't return again to him anymore.
 13 And in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth, and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, see, the face of the ground was dry.
 14 And in the second month, on the twenty seventh day of the month, the earth was dried.
 15 And God spoke to Noah, saying,
 16 "Go out of the ark, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons' wives with you.
 17 Take out with you every living thing that is with you, of all flesh, both of birds, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, so that they'll breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth."
 18 And Noah went out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him,
 19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird, and whatever creeps on the earth, after their kinds, went out of the ark.
 20 And Noah built an altar to the Lord, and took of every clean beast, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
 21 And the Lord smelled a sweet odor, and the Lord said in his heart, I won't again curse the ground anymore for man's sake, for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth, nor will I again strike anymore every living thing, as I have done.
 22 While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not stop.

___Genesis chapter 9
 1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
 2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be on every beast of the earth, and on every bird of the air, on all that moves on the earth, and on all the fish of the sea, into your hand they're delivered.
 3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you, like the green plant, I've given you all things.
 4 But flesh with the life of it, which is the blood of it, you shall not eat.
 5 And surely your blood of your lives I'll require, at the hand of every animal I'll require it, and at the hand of man, at the hand of every man's brother I'll require the life of man.
 6 Whoever sheds man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed, for in the image of God he made man.
 7 And you, be fruitful, and multiply, bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply in it."
 8 And God spoke to Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
 9 "And I, see, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you,
 10 And with every living creature that is with you, of the birds, of the cattle, and of every animal of the earth with you, from all that go out of the ark, to every animal of the earth.
 11 And I will establish my covenant with you, and all flesh won't anymore be cut off by the waters of a flood, and there won't anymore be a flood to destroy the earth."
 12 And God said, "This is the token of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
 13 I'm setting my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
 14 And when I bring a cloud over the earth, the bow shall be seen in the cloud,
 15 And I will remember my covenant, that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh, and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
 16 And the bow shall be in the cloud, and I will look at it, so that I'll remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth."
 17 And God said to Noah, "This is the token of the covenant, that I've established between me and all flesh that is on the earth."
 18 And the sons of Noah, that went out of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, and Ham is the father of Canaan.
 19 These are the three sons of Noah, and the whole earth was overspread from them.
 20 And Noah began to be a vineyard keeper, and he planted a vineyard,
 21 And he drank some of the wine, and got drunk, and he was uncovered inside his tent.
 22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.
 23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it on both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father, and their faces were backward, and they didn't see their father's nakedness.
 24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done to him.
 25 And he said, "Canaan is cursed, he shall be a servant of servants to his brothers."
 26 And he said, "Blessed be the Lord God of Shem, and Canaan shall be his servant.
 27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem, and Canaan shall be his servant."
 28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred fifty years.
 29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years, and he died.

___Genesis chapter 10
 1 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and to them sons were born after the flood.

 9 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord, that's why it's said, "Even like Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord."
 10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
 11 From that land went out Asshur, and built Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,
 12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah, that's a large city.
 13 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
 14 And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.
 15 And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth,
 16 And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,
 17 And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
 18 And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite, and afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread around.
 19 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you come to Gerar, to Gaza, as you go to Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even to Lasha.
 20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their languages, in their countries, and in their nations.
 21 To Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, to him were children born.
 22 The children of Shem, Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
 23 And the children of Aram, Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
 24 And Arphaxad begat Salah, and Salah begat Eber.
 25 And two sons were born to Eber, the name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided, and his brother's name was Joktan.
 26 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,
 27 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
 28 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
 29 And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab, all these were the sons of Joktan.
 30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go to Sephar a mountain of the east.
 31 These are the sons of Shem, according to their families, after their languages, in their lands, after their nations.
 32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, in their nations, and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.

___Genesis chapter 11
 1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
 2 And as they journeyed from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived there.
 3 And they said to each other, "Let's go, let's make brick, and burn them thoroughly."  And they had brick for stone, and they had slime for mortar.
 4 And they said, "Let's go, let's build ourselves a city and a tower, whose top will reach to heaven, and let's make for ourselves a name, so we won't be scattered around on the face of the whole earth."
 5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, that the children of men built.
 6 And the Lord said, "See, they're one people, and they all have one language, and this they begin to do, and now nothing will be restrained from them, that they have imagined to do.
 7 Let's go, let's go down, and confuse their language there, so they won't understand each other’s speech."
 8 So the Lord scattered them around from there on the face of all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
 9 That's why it's called Babel, because the Lord confounded the language of all the earth there, and from there the Lord scattered them around on the face of all the earth.
 10 These are the generations of Shem, Shem was a hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood,
 11 And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
 12 And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah,
 13 And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred three years, and begat sons and daughters.
 14 And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber,
 15 And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred three years, and begat sons and daughters.
 16 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg,
 17 And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.
 18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu,
 19 And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred nine years, and begat sons and daughters.
 20 And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug,
 21 And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred seven years, and begat sons and daughters.
 22 And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor,
 23 And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
 24 And Nahor lived twenty nine years, and begat Terah,
 25 And Nahor lived after he begat Terah one hundred nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.
 26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
 27 Now these are the generations of Terah, Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran, and Haran begat Lot.
 28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
 29 And Abram and Nahor took wives, the name of Abram's wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
 30 But Sarai was barren, she had no child.
 31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife, and they went out with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan, and they came to Haran, and lived there.
 32 And the days of Terah were two hundred five years, and Terah died in Haran.

___Genesis chapter 12
 1 Now the Lord had said to Abram, "Get out of your country, and from your kin, and from your father's house, to a land that I will show you,
 2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, and you'll be a blessing.
 3 And I will bless those who bless you, and curse him that curses you, and in you shall all families of the earth be blessed."
 4 So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken to him, and Lot went with him, and Abram was seventy five years old when he went out of Haran.
 5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gotten, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran, and they went out to go into the land of Canaan, and into the land of Canaan they went.
 6 And Abram passed through the land to the place of Sichem, to the plain of Moreh.  And the Canaanites were then in the land.
 7 And the Lord appeared to Abram, and said, "I'll give this land to your descendants," and he built an altar to the Lord there, who appeared to him.
 8 And he moved from there to a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east, and there he built an altar to the Lord, and called on the name of the Lord.
 9 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.
 10 And there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down into Egypt to temporarily live there, for the famine was grievous in the land.
 11 And when he was close to entering Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, "See, I know that you are a beautiful woman,
 12 Therefore when the Egyptians see you, they'll say, 'This is his wife,' and they'll kill me, but they'll let you live.
 13 Please say you're my sister, so that it will be well with me for your sake, and my soul shall live because of you."
 14 And when Abram had come into Egypt, the Egyptians saw the woman that she was beautiful.
 15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and brought her before Pharaoh, and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
 16 And he treated Abram well for her sake, and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.
 17 And the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.
 18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, "What have you done to me?  Why didn't you tell me she was your wife?
 19 Why did you say, She is my sister?  I might have taken her as my wife, now therefore here's your wife, take her, and go your way."
 20 And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him, and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.

___Genesis chapter 13
 1 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.
 2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
 3 And he went on his journeys from the south to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai,
 4 To the place of the altar that he had made there at the first, and Abram called on the name of the Lord there.
 5 And Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
 6 And the land was not able to bear them, so that they could live together, for their substance was great, so that they couldn't live together.
 7 And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle, and the Canaanites and the Perizzites lived then in the land.
 8 And Abram said to Lot, "Let there be no strife, please, between me and you, and between my herdmen and your herdmen, for we are brothers.
 9 Isn't the whole land before you?  Separate yourself, please, from me, if you take the left hand, then I'll go to the right, or if you go to the right hand, then I'll go to the left."
 10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as you go to Zoar.
 11 Then Lot chose all the plain of Jordan, and Lot journeyed east, and they separated themselves from each other.
 12 Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
 13 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord very much.
 14 And the Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, "Lift up now your eyes, and look from the place where you are northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward,
 15 For all the land that you see, I'll give it to you, and to your descendants forever.
 16 And I will make your seed like the dust of the earth, so that if a man can count the dust of the earth, then shall your seed also be numbered.
 17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the width of it, for I will give it to you."
 18 Then Abram moved his tent, and came and lived in the plain of Mamre, that is in Hebron, and built an altar to the Lord there.

___Genesis chapter 14
 1 And in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations,
 2 These made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.
 3 All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.
 4 They served Chedorlaomer twelve years, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
 5 And in the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer came, and the kings that were with him, and struck the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
 6 And the Horites in their mount Seir, to Elparan, which is by the wilderness.
 7 And they returned, and came to Enmishpat, which is Kadesh, and struck all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that lived in Hazezontamar.
 8 And the king of Sodom went out, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (which is Zoar,) and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim,
 9 With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar, four kings with five.
 10 And the vale of Siddim was full of slime pits, and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there, and those who remained fled to the mountain.
 11 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and went their way.
 12 And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who lived in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
 13 And one that had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew, for he lived in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner, and these were allies with Abram.
 14 And when Abram heard that his brother had been taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred eighteen of them, and pursued them to Dan.
 15 And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and struck them, and pursued them to Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
 16 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
 17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale.
 18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine, and he was the priest of the most high God.
 19 And he blessed him, and said, "Blessed be Abram by the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth,
 20 And blessed be the most high God, who has given your enemies into your hand."  And he gave him tithes of all.
 21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give me the people, and take the goods to yourself."
 22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I have lifted up my hand to the Lord, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,
 23 That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelace, and that I will not take anything that is yours, so you won't say, I've made Abram rich,
 24 Except for that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre, let them take their portion."

___Genesis chapter 15
 1 After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Don't be afraid, Abram, I am your shield, and your very great reward."
 2 And Abram said, "Lord God, what will you give me, since I'm childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?"
 3 And Abram said, "See, to me you've given no child, and, see, someone born in my house is my heir."
 4 And the word of the Lord came to him, saying, "This won't be your heir, but he that shall come out of your own body shall be your heir."
 5 And he brought him outside, and said, "Look now toward heaven, and count the stars, if you're able," and he said to him, "So shall your seed be."
 6 And he believed the Lord, and he counted it to him for righteousness.
 7 And he said to him, "I am the Lord that brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land to inherit it."
 8 And he said, "Lord God, how will I know that I'll inherit it?"
 9 And he said to him, "Take me a heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon."
 10 And he took all these, and divided them in the middle, and laid each piece against each other, but the birds he didn't divide.
 11 And when the birds came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away.
 12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram, and, see, a horror of great darkness fell on him.
 13 And he said to Abram, "Know of a surety that your descendants shall be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them, and they shall afflict them four hundred years,
 14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, I will judge, and afterward they'll come out with great substance.
 15 And you'll go to your ancestors in peace, you'll be buried at a good old age.
 16 But in the fourth generation they'll come here again, for the sin of the Amorites is not yet full."
 17 And when the sun went down, and it was dark, there was a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.
 18 On the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, "To your seed I've given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates,
 19 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
 20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
 21 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites."

___Genesis chapter 16
 1 Now Sarai, Abram's wife, didn't bear him any children, and she had a handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
 2 And Sarai said to Abram, "See, the Lord has restrained me from bearing, please go in to my maid, perhaps I can obtain children by her."  And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.
 3 And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.
 4 And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived, and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
 5 And Sarai said to Abram, "My wrong be on you, I have given my maid into your bosom, and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes, the Lord judge between me and you."
 6 But Abram said to Sarai, "Your maid is in your hand, do with her as it pleases you."  And when Sarai was tough with her, she fled from her face.
 7 And the angel of the Lord found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain on the way to Shur.
 8 And he said, "Hagar, Sarai's maid, where did you come from?  And where will you go?"  And she said, "I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai."
 9 And the angel of the Lord said to her, "Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hands."
 10 And the angel of the Lord said to her, "I will multiply your seed exceedingly, so that it shall not be numbered for multitude."
 11 And the angel of the Lord said to her, "See, you're with child, and shall bear a son, and shall call his name Ishmael, because the Lord has heard your affliction.
 12 And he will be a wild man, his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand will be against him, and he'll live in the presence of all his brothers."
 13 And she called the name of the Lord that spoke to her, "You, God, see me," for she said, "Have I also here looked after him that sees me?"
 14 So the well was called Beerlahairoi, see, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
 15 And Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram called his son's name, that Hagar bore, Ishmael.
 16 And Abram was eighty six years old, when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.

___Genesis chapter 17
 1 And when Abram was ninety nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said to him, "I am the Almighty God, walk before me, and be perfect.
 2 And I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you very much."
 3 And Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying,
 4 "As for me, see, my covenant is with you, and you'll be a father of many nations.
 5 Nor shall your name anymore be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham, for I've made you a father of many nations.
 6 And I will make you very fruitful, and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come out of you.
 7 And I will establish my covenant between me and you, and your children after you in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to you, and to your children after you.
 8 And I will give to you, and to your seed after you, the land in which you're a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession, and I will be their God."
 9 And God said to Abraham, "You shall keep my covenant therefore, you, and your seed after you in their generations.
 10 This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you, and your seed after you, Every male child among you shall be circumcised.
 11 And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be a token of the covenant between me and you.
 12 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money from any stranger, that is not of your seed.
 13 He that is born in your house, and he that is bought with your money, must be circumcised, and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
 14 And the uncircumcised male child whose flesh of his foreskin hasn't been circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people, he has broken my covenant."
 15 And God said to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but her name shall be Sarah.
 16 And I will bless her, and give you a son also from her, yes, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations, kings of people shall be of her."
 17 Then Abraham fell on his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born to him that is a hundred years old?  And shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?
 18 And Abraham said to God, "O that Ishmael might live before you!"
 19 And God said, "Sarah your wife shall bear you a son indeed, and you'll call his name Isaac, and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.
 20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard you, see, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly.  He shall father twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.
 21 But my covenant I'll establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this set time in the next year."
 22 And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.
 23 And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on the same day, as God had said to him.
 24 And Abraham was ninety nine years old, when he got circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
 25 And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
 26 Abraham was circumcised and Ishmael his son on the same day.
 27 And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money from the stranger, were circumcised with him.

___Genesis chapter 18
 1 And the Lord appeared to him in the plains of Mamre, and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day,
 2 And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and see, three men stood by him, and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,
 3 And said, "My Lord, if now I have found favor in your sight, don't go away, please, from your servant,
 4 Let a little water, please, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree,
 5 And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort you your hearts, after that you'll go, 'cause that's why you've come to your servant."  And they said, "Do what you've said."
 6 And Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and said, "Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes on the hearth."
 7 And Abraham ran to the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it to a young man, and he hurried to prepare it.
 8 And he took butter, and milk, and the calf that he'd prepared, and set it before them, and he stood by them under the tree, and they ate.
 9 And they said to him, "Where is your wife Sarah?"  And he said, "See, in the tent."
 10 And he said, "I will certainly return to you according to the time of life, and, see, Sarah your wife shall have a son."  And Sarah heard it in the tent door, that was behind him.
 11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old and quite stricken in age, and Sarah had stopped having menstrual periods.
 12 Therefore Sarah laughed inside herself, saying, After I've grown shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
 13 And the Lord said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, who am old?
 14 Is anything too hard for the Lord?  At the time appointed I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son."
 15 Then Sarah denied, saying, "I didn't laugh," 'cause she was afraid.  And he said, "No, you laughed."
 16 And the men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom, and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
 17 And the Lord said, "Shall I hide from Abraham the thing that I'll do,
 18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
 19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do what's right, so the Lord will bring on Abraham that which he has spoken about him."
 20 And the Lord said, "Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous,
 21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done entirely according to the cry of it, that has come to me, and if not, I will know."
 22 And the men turned their faces from there, and went toward Sodom, but Abraham still stood before the Lord.
 23 And Abraham went near, and said, "Will you also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
 24 Possibly there are fifty righteous in the city, will you also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are there?
 25 That be far from you to do like that, to kill the righteous with the wicked, and that the righteous should be like the wicked, that be far from you, shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?"
 26 And the Lord said, "If I find in Sodom fifty righteous in the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes."
 27 And Abraham answered and said, "See now, I've taken on me to speak to the Lord, who am but dust and ashes,
 28 Possibly there shall lack five of the fifty righteous, will you destroy all the city for lack of five?"  And he said, "If I find there forty five, I won't destroy it."
 29 And he spoke to him yet again, and said, "Possibly there shall be forty found there.  And he said, I won't do it for forty's sake."
 30 And he said to him, "Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak, Possibly there shall thirty be found there."  And he said, "I won't do it if I find thirty there."
 31 And he said, "See now, I have taken on me to speak to the Lord, possibly twenty shall be found there."  And he said, "I won't destroy it for twenty's sake."
 32 And he said, "Oh let the Lord not be angry, and I will speak yet but this once, possibly ten shall be found there."  And he said, "I won't destroy it for ten's sake."
 33 And the Lord went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.

___Genesis chapter 19
 1 And two angels came to Sodom at evening, and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom, and Lot seeing them, rose up to meet them, and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground,
 2 And he said, "See now, my lords, turn in, please, into your servant's house, and stay the night, and wash your feet, and you'll rise up early, and go on your ways."  And they said, "No, we'll stay in the street all night."
 3 And he greatly urged them, and they turned in to him, and entered into his house, and he made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
 4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both old and young, all the people from every quarter,
 5 And they called to Lot, and said to him, "Where are the men that came into your house tonight?  Bring them out to us, so we can know them."
 6 And Lot went out at the door to them, and shut the door after him,
 7 And said, "Please, brothers, don't do so wickedly.
 8 See now, I have two daughters that are virgins, let me, please, bring them out to you, and do to them as seems good in your eyes, but to these men do nothing, for that's why they've come under the shadow of my roof."
 9 And they said, "Stand back."  And they said again, "This one fellow came in to stay for awhile, and now he wants to be a judge, now we'll deal worse with you, than with them."  And they pressed severely on the man, Lot, and nearly broke the door.
 10 But the men put out their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.
 11 And they struck the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
 12 And the men said to Lot, "Do you have any here besides?  Son in law, and your sons, and your daughters, and whatever you have in the city, bring them out of this place,
 13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them has grown great before the face of the Lord, and the Lord has sent us to destroy it."
 14 And Lot went out, and spoke to his sons in law, who married his daughters, and said, "Up, get out of this place, for the Lord will destroy this city."  But he seemed like someone that was kidding around to his sons in law.
 15 And when the morning arose, then the angels hurried Lot, saying, "Get up, take your wife, and your two daughters, that are here, so you won't be consumed in the sin of the city."
 16 And while he lingered, the men laid hold on his hand, and on the hand of his wife, and on the hand of his two daughters, the Lord being merciful to him, and they brought him out, and set him outside the city.
 17 And when they had brought them out, he said, "Escape for your life, don't look behind you, nor stay in all the plain, escape to the mountain, so you won't be consumed."
 18 And Lot said to them, "Oh, not so, my Lord,
 19 See now, your servant has found grace in your sight, and you've magnified your mercy, that you've shown me in saving my life, and I can't escape to the mountain, or some evil might happen to me, and I die,
 20 See now, this city is near to flee to, and it's a little one, Oh, let me escape to it, (isn't it a little one?) and my soul shall live."
 21 And he said to him, "See, I have accepted you concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for which you've spoken.
 22 Hurry up, escape to it, for I can't do anything until you get there."  Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
 23 The sun had risen on the earth when Lot entered Zoar.
 24 Then the Lord rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven,
 25 And he destroyed those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew on the ground.
 26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
 27 And Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the Lord,
 28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and saw, and, see, the smoke of the country went up like the smoke of a furnace.
 29 And when God destroyed the cities of the plain, God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the middle of the destruction, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.
 30 And Lot went up out of Zoar, and lived in the mountain, and his two daughters with him, for he was afraid to live in Zoar, and he lived in a cave, he and his two daughters.
 31 And the firstborn said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in to us after the manner of all the earth,
 32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, so we can preserve seed of our father."
 33 And they made their father drink wine that night, and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father, and he didn't notice when she lay down, nor when she got up.
 34 And on the next day, the firstborn said to the younger, "See, I lay last night with my father, let us make him drink wine tonight also, and you go in, and lie with him, so we can preserve seed of our father."
 35 And they made their father drink wine that night also, and the younger got up, and lay with him, and he didn't notice when she lay down, nor when she got up.
 36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
 37 And the firstborn bore a son, and called his name Moab, the same is the father of the Moabites to this day.
 38 And the younger, she also bore a son, and called his name Benammi, the same is the father of the children of Ammon to this day.

___Genesis chapter 20
 1 And Abraham journeyed from there toward the south country, and lived between Kadesh and Shur, and stayed for awhile in Gerar.
 2 And Abraham said about Sarah his wife, "She is my sister," and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
 3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, "See, you are but a dead man, for the woman that you've taken, for she is a man's wife."
 4 But Abimelech had not come near her, and he said, "Lord, will you kill also a righteous nation?
 5 Didn't he say to me, 'She is my sister?'  And she, even she herself said, 'He is my brother,' in the integrity of my heart and innocence of my hands I have done this."
 6 And God said to him in a dream, "Yes, I know that you did this in the integrity of your heart, for I also withheld you from sinning against me, therefore I didn't allow you to touch her.
 7 Now therefore restore to the man his wife, for he is a prophet, and he'll pray for you, and you'll live, and if you don't restore her, know you that you'll surely die, you, and all that are yours."
 8 Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears, and the men were very afraid.
 9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, "What have you done to us?  And how have I offended you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin?  You've done deeds to me that ought not to be done."
 10 And Abimelech said to Abraham, "What did you see, that caused you to do this thing?"
 11 And Abraham said, "Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place, and they'll kill me for my wife's sake.
 12 And yet indeed she is my sister, she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother, and she became my wife.
 13 And when God caused me to wander from my father's house, I said to her, 'This is your kindness that you'll show me, everywhere we go, say about me, He's my brother.' "
 14 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and men servants, and women servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored to him Sarah his wife.
 15 And Abimelech said, "See, my land is before you, live where it pleases you."
 16 And to Sarah he said, "See, I've given your brother a thousand pieces of silver, see, he is to you a covering of the eyes, to all that are with you, and with all others," thus she was reproved.
 17 So Abraham prayed to God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants, and they bore children.
 18 For the Lord had tightly closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.

___Genesis chapter 21
 1 And the Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did to Sarah as he had spoken.
 2 For Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
 3 And Abraham called the name of his son that was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
 4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
 5 And Abraham was a hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born to him.
 6 And Sarah said, "God has made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me."
 7 And she said, "Who would have said to Abraham, that Sarah would have given children suck?  For I have born him a son in his old age."
 8 And the child grew, and was weaned, and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.
 9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, that she had born to Abraham, mocking.
 10 So she said to Abraham, "Throw out this bondwoman and her son, for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son Isaac."
 11 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.
 12 And God said to Abraham, "Don't let it be grievous in your sight because of the lad, and because of your bondwoman, in all that Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice, for in Isaac shall your seed be called.
 13 And also of the son of the bondwoman I will make a nation, because he is your seed."
 14 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away, and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
 15 And the water was spent in the bottle, and she put the child under one of the shrubs.
 16 And she went, and sat down opposite him a good way off, like a bowshot, for she said, "Let me not see the death of the child."  And she sat opposite him, and lifted up her voice, and cried.
 17 And God heard the voice of the lad, and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said to her, "What's wrong with you, Hagar?  Don't be afraid, for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is.
 18 Get up, lift up the lad, and hold him in you hand, for I will make him a great nation."
 19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water, and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad a drink.
 20 And God was with the lad, and he grew, and lived in the wilderness, and became an archer.
 21 And he lived in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
 22 And at that time, Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spoke to Abraham, saying, "God is with you in all that you do,
 23 Now therefore swear to me here by God that you won't deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son, but according to the kindness that I've done to you, you shall do to me, and to the land in which you've been staying."
 24 And Abraham said, "I will swear."
 25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
 26 And Abimelech said, "I don't know who did this, nor did you tell me, nor did I hear about it until today."
 27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech, and both of them made a covenant.
 28 And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
 29 And Abimelech said to Abraham, "What do these seven ewe lambs mean that you've set by themselves?"
 30 And he said, "These seven ewe lambs you'll take from my hand, so they'll be a witness for me, that I've dug this well."
 31 So he called that place Beersheba, because both of them swore there.
 32 Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba, then Abimelech got up, and Phichol the chief captain of his army, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
 33 And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the Lord, the everlasting God.
 34 And Abraham lived in the Philistines' land many days.

___Genesis chapter 22
 1 And after these things, God tempted Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham," and he said, "See, I'm here."
 2 And he said, "Now take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and get you into the land of Moriah, and offer him there for a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I'll tell you about."
 3 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and split the wood for the burnt offering, and got up, and went to the place about which God had told him.
 4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.
 5 And Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the ass, and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and return to you."
 6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it on Isaac his son, and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife, and they went both together.
 7 And Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, "My father," and he said, "Here I am, my son."  And he said, "See the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?"
 8 And Abraham said, "My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering," so they went both together.
 9 And they came to the place that God had told him about, and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and tied Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar on the wood.
 10 And Abraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.
 11 And the angel of the Lord called to him out of heaven, and said, "Abraham, Abraham," and he said, "Here I am."
 12 And he said, "Don't lay your hand on the lad, and don't do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God, seeing you haven't withheld your son, your only son from me."
 13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns, and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
 14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh, as it is said to this day, in the mountain of the Lord it shall be seen.
 15 And the angel of the Lord called to Abraham out of heaven the second time,
 16 And said, "By myself I've sworn, says the Lord, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,
 17 That in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is on the sea shore, and your seed shall possess the gate of their enemies,
 18 And in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice."
 19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba, and Abraham lived at Beersheba.
 20 And after these things, Abraham was told, "Behold, Milcah, she has also born children to your brother Nahor,
 21 Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
 22 And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
 23 And Bethuel begat Rebekah, these eight did Milcah bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
 24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bore also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah."

___Genesis chapter 23
 1 And Sarah was one hundred twenty seven and years old, these were the years of the life of Sarah.
 2 And Sarah died in Kirjatharba, that's Hebron in the land of Canaan, and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to cry for her.
 3 And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,
 4 "I am a stranger and a visitor with you, give me a possession of a burying place with you, so I can bury my dead out of my sight."
 5 And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
 6 "Hear us, my lord, you are a mighty prince among us, in the choice of our tombs bury your dead, none of us shall withhold from you his tomb, so you can bury your dead."
 7 And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, to the children of Heth.
 8 And he communed with them, saying, "If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and speak for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,
 9 To give me the cave of Machpelah, that he has, that is in the end of his field, for as much money as it is worth he shall give it to me for a possession of a burying place among you."
 10 And Ephron lived among the children of Heth, and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying,
 11 "No, my lord, hear me, I give you the field and the cave that is in it, I give it to you, in the presence of the sons of my people I give it to you, bury your dead."
 12 And Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land.
 13 And he spoke to Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, "But if you'll give it, please listen to me, I'll give you money for the field, take it from me, and I'll bury my dead there."
 14 And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
 15 "My lord, listen to me, the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver, what is that between me and you?  Bury therefore your dead."
 16 And Abraham listened to Ephron, and Abraham weighed the silver for Ephron, that he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant.
 17 And the field of Ephron, that was in Machpelah, that was before Mamre, the field, and the cave that was in it, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the borders there, were made sure
 18 To Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city.
 19 And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre, the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan.
 20 And the field, and the cave that is in it, were made sure to Abraham for a possession of a burying place by the sons of Heth.

___Genesis chapter 24
 1 And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age, and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things.
 2 And Abraham said to his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, "Please put your hand under my thigh,
 3 And I'll make you swear by the Lord, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that you won't take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell,
 4 But you'll go to my country, and to my kin, and take a wife for my son Isaac."
 5 And the servant said to him, "Perhaps the woman won't be willing to follow me to this land, should I then take your son back to the land you came from?"
 6 And Abraham said to him, "Beware that you don't take my son there again.
 7 The Lord God of heaven, who took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kin, and who spoke to me, and that swore to me, saying, to your seed I'll give this land, he shall send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.
 8 And if the woman isn't willing to follow you, then you'll be clear from this oath, only don't take my son there again."
 9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning that matter.
 10 And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed, for all the goods of his master were in his hand, and he got up, and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor.
 11 And he made his camels kneel down outside the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, at the time that women go out to draw water.
 12 And he said, "O Lord God of my master Abraham, I pray you, send me good speed this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
 13 See, I stand here by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water,
 14 And let it be, that the young woman to whom I shall say, 'Please let down your pitcher so I can drink,' and she'll say, 'Drink, and I'll give your camels water also,' let her be the one that you've appointed for your servant Isaac, and thereby I'll know that you've shown kindness to my master."
 15 And before he had done speaking, see, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher on her shoulder.
 16 And the young woman was beautiful to look at, a virgin; no man had known her, and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
 17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, "Please let me drink a little water from your pitcher."
 18 And she said, "Drink, my lord," and she hurried, and let down her pitcher on her hand, and gave him drink.
 19 And when she had done giving him drink, she said, "I will draw water for your camels also, until they have finished drinking."
 20 And she hurried, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.
 21 And the man wondering at her kept quiet, to know whether the Lord had made his journey prosperous or not.
 22 And as the camels had finished drinking, the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold,
 23 And said, "Whose daughter are you?  Please tell me, is there room in your father's house for us to lodge in?"
 24 And she said to him, "I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, that she bore to Nahor."
 25 She said also to him, "We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in."
 26 And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the Lord.
 27 And he said, "Blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham, who hasn't left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth, I being in the way, the Lord led me to the house of my master's brothers."
 28 And the young woman ran, and told those of her mother's house these things.
 29 And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban, and Laban ran out to the man, to the well.
 30 And when he saw the earring and bracelets on his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, "This is what the man said to me," he came to the man, and see, he stood by the camels at the well.
 31 And he said, "Come in, you blessed of the Lord, why do you stand outside?  For I've prepared the house, and room for the camels."
 32 And the man came into the house, and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men's feet that were with him.
 33 And there was set food before him to eat, but he said, "I won't eat, until I have told my errand."  And he said, "Tell us."
 34 And he said, "I am Abraham's servant.
 35 And the Lord has blessed my master greatly, and he has become great, and he has given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.
 36 And Sarah my master's wife bore a son to my master when she was old, and to him he has given all that he has.
 37 And my master made me swear, saying, 'You shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell,
 38 But you shall go to my father's house, and to my kin, and take a wife for my son.'
 39 And I said to my master, 'Perhaps the woman won't follow me.'
 40 And he said to me, 'The Lord, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you, and prosper your way, and you shall take a wife for my son of my kin, and of my father's house,
 41 Then you'll be clear from this oath, when you come to my kin, if they won't give you one, you'll be clear from my oath.'
 42 And I came this day to the well, and said, 'O Lord God of my master Abraham, if now you do prosper my way that I go,
 43 See, I stand by the well of water, and when the virgin comes out to draw water, and I say to her, Please give me a little water from your pitcher to drink,
 44 And she says to me, Drink yourself, and I will also draw for your camels, let her be the woman whom the Lord has appointed out for my master's son.'
 45 And before I had done speaking in my heart, see, Rebekah came out with her pitcher on her shoulder, and she went down to the well, and drew water, and I said to her, 'Let me drink, please.'
 46 And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, 'Drink, and I will give your camels drink also,' so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.
 47 And I asked her, and said, 'Whose daughter are you?  And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him,' and I put the earring on her ear, and the bracelets on her hands.
 48 And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the Lord, and blessed the Lord God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter to his son.
 49 And now if you will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me, and if not, tell me, so I can turn to the right hand, or to the left."
 50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, "The thing proceeds from the Lord, we can't speak to you bad or good.
 51 See, Rebekah is before you, take her, and go, and let her be your master's son's wife, as the Lord has spoken."
 52 And when Abraham's servant heard their words, he worshipped the Lord, bowing himself to the earth.
 53 And the servant brought out jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing, and gave them to Rebekah, he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things.
 54 And they ate and drink, he and the men that were with him, and waited all night, and they rose up in the morning, and he said, "Send me away to my master."
 55 And her brother and her mother said, "Let the young woman remain with us a few days, at least ten, after that she'll go."
 56 And he said to them, "Don't hinder me, seeing the Lord has prospered my way, send me away so I can go to my master."
 57 And they said, "We will call the young woman, and inquire from her."
 58 And they called Rebekah, and said to her, "Will you go with this man?"  And she said, "I will go."
 59 And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.
 60 And they blessed Rebekah, and said to her, "You are our sister, be the mother of thousands of millions, and let your seed possess the gate of those who hate them."
 61 And Rebekah got up, and her young women, and they rode on the camels, and followed the man, and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
 62 And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi, for he lived in the south country.
 63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at evening, and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and the camels were coming.
 64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she got off the camel.
 65 For she had said to the servant, "What man is this that walks in the field to meet us?"  And the servant had said, "It is my master," so she took a veil, and covered herself.
 66 And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.
 67 And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife, and he loved her, and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.

___Genesis chapter 25
 1 Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.
 2 And she bore him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
 3 And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan.  And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
 4 And the sons of Midian, Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah.  All these were the children of Keturah.
 5 And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac.
 6 But to the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, to the east country.
 7 And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, one hundred seventy five years.
 8 Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years, and was gathered to his people.
 9 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, that is before Mamre,
 10 The field that Abraham bought from the sons of Heth, Abraham was buried there, and Sarah his wife.
 11 And after the death of Abraham, God blessed his son Isaac, and Isaac lived by the well Lahairoi.
 12 Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bore to Abraham,
 13 And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations, the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth, and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
 14 And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
 15 Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah,
 16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles, twelve princes according to their nations.
 17 And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, one hundred thirty seven years, and he gave up the ghost and died, and was gathered to his people.
 18 And they lived from Havilah to Shur, that is before Egypt, as you go toward Assyria, and he died in the presence of all his brothers.
 19 And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son, Abraham begot Isaac,
 20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah as wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.
 21 And Isaac entreated the Lord for his wife, because she was barren, and the Lord was entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
 22 And the children struggled together inside her, and she said, "If it be so, why am I this way?"  And she went to inquire of the Lord.
 23 And the Lord said to her, "Two nations are in your womb, and two kinds of people shall be separated from your belly, and the one people shall be stronger than the other people, and the elder shall serve the younger."
 24 And when her days to get deliverance were fulfilled, see, there were twins in her womb.
 25 And the first came out red, all over like a hairy garment, and they called his name Esau.
 26 And after that his brother came out, and his hand took hold of Esau's heel, and his name was called Jacob, and Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.
 27 And the boys grew, and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field, and Jacob was a plain man, living in tents.
 28 And Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his venison, but Rebekah loved Jacob.
 29 And Jacob made pottage, and Esau came from the field, and he was faint,
 30 And Esau said to Jacob, "Feed me, please, with that same red pottage, for I am faint," that's why he was called Edom.
 31 And Jacob said, "Sell me this day your birthright."
 32 And Esau said, "See, I am at the point to die, and what profit shall this birthright do to me?"
 33 And Jacob said, "Swear to me this day," and he swore to him, and he sold his birthright to Jacob.
 34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils, and he ate and drank, and rose up, and went his way, thus Esau despised his birthright.

 1 And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham.  And Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines to Gerar.
 2 And the Lord appeared to him, and said, "Don't go down into Egypt, live in the land that I shall tell you about,
 3 Live for a while in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you, for to you, and to your seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath that I swore to Abraham your father,
 4 And I will make your seed to multiply like the stars of heaven, and will give to your seed all these countries, and in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed,
 5 Because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws."
 6 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar,
 7 And the men of the place asked him about his wife, and he said, "She is my sister," for he feared to say, she is my wife, or, said he, "The men of the place might kill me for Rebekah," because she was beautiful to look at.
 8 And when he had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out of a window, and saw, and Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.
 9 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, "See, she is surely your wife, and why did you say She is my sister?"  And Isaac said to him, "Because I said, So I won't die for her."
 10 And Abimelech said, "What is this you've done to us?  One of the people might lightly have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us."
 11 And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, "He that touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death."
 12 Then Isaac planted in that land, and received in the same year a hundredfold, and the Lord blessed him.
 13 And the man became great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great,
 14 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants, and the Philistines envied him.
 15 For all the wells that his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with dirt.
 16 And Abimelech said to Isaac, "Go from us, for you are much mightier than we are."
 17 And Isaac departed from there, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and lived there.
 18 And Isaac dug again the wells of water, that they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham, and he called their names the same as his father had named them.
 19 And Isaac's servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
 20 And the herdmen of Gerar strove with Isaac's herdmen, saying, "The water is ours," and he called the name of the well Esek, because they strove with him.
 21 And they dug another well, and strove for that also, and he called the name of it Sitnah.
 22 And he moved from there, and dug another well, and for that they didn't strive, and he called the name of it Rehoboth, and he said, "For now the Lord has made room for us, and we'll be fruitful in the land."
 23 And he went up from there to Beersheba.
 24 And the Lord appeared to him the same night, and said, "I am the God of Abraham your father, don't be afraid, for I am with you, and will bless you, and multiply your seed for my servant Abraham's sake."
 25 And he built an altar there, and called on the name of the Lord, and pitched his tent there, and there Isaac's servants dug a well.
 26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army.
 27 And Isaac said to them, "Why do you come to me, since you hate me, and have sent me away from you?"
 28 And they said, "We saw certainly that the Lord was with you, and we said, 'Let there now be an oath between us, between us and you, and let us make a covenant with you,
 29 That you'll do us no hurt, as we have not touched you, and as we have done to you nothing but good, and have sent you away in peace, you are now the blessed of the Lord.' "
 30 And he made them a feast, and they ate and drank.
 31 And they got up in the morning, and swore to each other, and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
 32 And Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well that they had dug, and said to him, "We've found water."
 33 And he called it Shebah, therefore the name of the city is Beersheba to this day.
 34 And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite,
 35 Which were a grief of mind to Isaac and to Rebekah.

___Genesis chapter 27
 1 And when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he couldn't see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said to him, "My son," and he said to him, "See, I am here."
 2 And he said, "See now, I am old, I don't know the day of my death,
 3 Now therefore please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison,
 4 And make me savory meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, so I can eat, so my soul can bless you before I die."
 5 And Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son.  And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
 6 And Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, "See, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying,
 7 'Bring me venison, and make me savory meat, so I can eat, and bless you before the Lord before my death.'
 8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to what I command you.
 9 Go now to the flock, and fetch me from there two good kids of the goats, and I will make them savory meat for your father, such as he loves,
 10 And you'll bring it to your father, so he can eat, and bless you before his death."
 11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, "See, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man,
 12 My father perhaps will feel me, and I'll seem to him to be a deceiver, and I'll bring a curse on me, and not a blessing."
 13 And his mother said to him, "On me be your curse, my son, only obey my voice, and go fetch them for me."
 14 And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother, and his mother made savory meat, such as his father loved.
 15 And Rebekah took goodly clothes of her eldest son Esau, that were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son,
 16 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck,
 17 And she gave the savory meat and the bread, that she'd prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
 18 And he came to his father, and said, "My father," and he said, "Here am I, who are you, my son?"
 19 And Jacob said to his father, "I am Esau your firstborn, I've done as you told me, please get up, sit and eat of my venison, so your soul will bless me."
 20 And Isaac said to his son, "How is it that you've found it so quickly, my son?"  And he said, "Because the Lord your God brought it to me."
 21 And Isaac said to Jacob, "Please come near, so I can feel you, my son, whether you are my very son Esau or not."
 22 And Jacob went near to Isaac his father, and he felt him, and said, "The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau."
 23 And he didn't discern him, because his hands were hairy, like his brother Esau's hands, so he blessed him.
 24 And he said, "Are you my very son Esau?"  And he said, "I am."
 25 And he said, "Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, so my soul can bless you."  And he brought it near to him, and he ate, and he brought him wine, and he drank.
 26 And his father Isaac said to him, "Come near now, and kiss me, my son."
 27 And he came near, and kissed him, and he smelled the smell of his clothes, and blessed him, and said, "See, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that the Lord has blessed,
 28 Therefore God give you of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine,
 29 Let people serve you, and nations bow down to you, be lord over your brothers, and let your mother's sons bow down to you, cursed is everyone that curses you, and blessed be he that blesses you."
 30 And as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob had yet barely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
 31 And he also had made savory meat, and brought it to his father, and said to his father, "Let my father get up, and eat of his son's venison, so your soul can bless me."
 32 And Isaac his father said to him, "Who are you?"  And he said, "I am your son, your firstborn Esau."
 33 And Isaac trembled very much, and said, "Who?  Where is he that has taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him?  Yes, and he shall be blessed."
 34 And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and very  bitter cry, and said to his father, "Bless me, even me also, O my father."
 35 And he said, "Your brother came with subtlety, and has taken away your blessing."
 36 And he said, "Is not he rightly named Jacob?  For he has supplanted me these two times, he took away my birthright, and, see, now he has taken away my blessing."  And he said, "Haven't you reserved a blessing for me?"
 37 And Isaac answered and said to Esau, "See, I've made him your lord, and all his brothers I've given to him for servants, and with corn and wine I've sustained him, and what shall I do now to you, my son?"
 38 And Esau said to his father, "Do you have only one blessing, my father?  Bless me also, O my father."  And Esau lifted up his voice, and cried.
 39 And Isaac his father answered and said to him, "See, your dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above,
 40 And by your sword shall you live, and shall serve your brother, and it shall be when you shall have the dominion, that you'll break his yoke off your neck."
 41 And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him, and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand, then I'll kill my brother Jacob.
 42 And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah, and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, "See, your brother Esau, concerning you, comforts himself, purposing to kill you.
 43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice, and get up, flee to Laban my brother to Haran,
 44 And stay with him a few days, until your brother's fury turns away,
 45 Until your brother's anger turns away from you, and he forgets what you've done to him, then I will send, and fetch you from there, why should I be deprived of you both in one day?"
 46 And Rebekah said to Isaac, "I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth, if Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these that are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?"

___Genesis chapter 28
 1 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said to him, "You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
 2 Get up, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel your mother's father, and take a wife from there of the daughters of Laban your mother's brother.
 3 And God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, so that you'll become a multitude of people;
 4 And give you the blessing of Abraham, to you, and to your seed with you, so that you'll inherit the land in which you're a stranger, that God gave to Abraham."
 5 And Isaac sent away Jacob, and he went to Padanaram to Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
 6 When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padanaram, to take him a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he gave him instructions, saying, "You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan,"
 7 And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and went to Padanaram,
 8 And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan didn't please Isaac his father,
 9 Then Esau went to Ishmael, and added to the wives that he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife.
 10 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
 11 And he stopped at a certain place, and stayed there all night, because the sun had set, and he took a stone from there, and placed it for his pillows, and laid down there to sleep.
 12 And he dreamed, and see a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven, and the angels of God were going up and down on it.
 13 And, see, the Lord stood above it, and said, "I am the Lord God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac, the land on which you're lying, I'll give it to you, and to your seed,
 14 And your seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and you'll spread out to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south, and in you and in your seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
 15 And, see, I'm with you, and will keep you in all places where you go, and will bring you again into this land, for I won't leave you, until I've done what I've told you about."
 16 And Jacob awoke from his sleep, and he said, "Surely the Lord is in this place, and I didn't know it."
 17 And he was afraid, and said, "How dreadful this place is!  This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven."
 18 And Jacob got up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil on the top of it.
 19 And he called the name of that place Bethel, but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.
 20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, "If God will be with me, and will keep me in the way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and clothes to wear,
 21 So that I come again to my father's house in peace, then shall the Lord be my God,
 22 And this stone, that I've set for a pillar, shall be God's house, and of all that you give me I will surely give a tenth to you."

___Genesis chapter 29
 1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.
 2 And he looked, and see, a well in the field, and, lo, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it, for out of that well they watered the flocks, and a large stone was on the well's mouth.
 3 And all the flocks were gathered there, and they rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again on the well's mouth in its place.
 4 And Jacob said to them, "My brothers, where are you from?"  And they said, "We're from Haran."
 5 And he said to them, "Do you know Laban the son of Nahor?"  And they said, "We know him."
 6 And he said to them, "Is he well?"  And they said, "He is well, and, see, Rachel his daughter is coming with the sheep."
 7 And he said, "See, it is yet high day, and it's not time for the cattle to be gathered together, water the sheep, and go and feed them."
 8 And they said, "We can't, until all the flocks are gathered together, and 'til they roll the stone from the well's mouth, then we water the sheep."
 9 And while he yet talked with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she kept them.
 10 And when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.
 11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and cried.
 12 And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son, and she ran and told her father.
 13 When Laban heard the news of Jacob his sister's son, he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house.  And he told Laban all these things.
 14 And Laban said to him, "Surely you are my bone and my flesh."  And he stayed with him the space of a month.
 15 And Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my brother, should you therefore serve me for nothing?  Tell me, what shall your wages be?"
 16 And Laban had two daughters, the name of the older one was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
 17 Leah was tender eyed, but Rachel was beautiful and well favored.
 18 And Jacob loved Rachel, and said, "I will serve you seven years for Rachel your younger daughter."
 19 And Laban said, "It is better that I give her to you, than for me to give her to another man, stay with me."
 20 And Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her.
 21 And Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, so I can go in to her."
 22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
 23 And in the evening, he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him, and he went in to her.
 24 And Laban gave to his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for a handmaid.
 25 And in the morning, see, it was Leah, and he said to Laban, "What is this that you've done to me?  Didn't I serve with you for Rachel?  Why then have you deceived me?"
 26 And Laban said, "It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
 27 Fulfill her week, and we will give you this also for the service that you'll serve with me yet seven other years."
 28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week, and he gave him Rachel his daughter as wife also.
 29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.
 30 And he went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
 31 And when the Lord saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.
 32 And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben, for she said, "Surely the Lord has looked at my affliction, now therefore my husband will love me."
 33 And she conceived again, and bore a son, and said, "Because the Lord has heard that I was hated, he has therefore given me this son also," and she called his name Simeon.
 34 And she conceived again, and bore a son, and said, "Now this time will my husband be joined to me, because I have born him three sons," therefore his name was called Levi.
 35 And she conceived again, and bore a son, and she said, "Now I'll praise the Lord," therefore she called his name Judah, and stopped bearing.

___Genesis chapter 30
 1 And when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister, and said to Jacob, "Give me children, or else I die."
 2 And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel, and he said, "Am I in God's place, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?"
 3 And she said, "Here's my maid Bilhah, go in to her, and she shall bear on my knees, so I can also have children by her."
 4 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid as wife, and Jacob went in to her.
 5 And Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
 6 And Rachel said, "God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son," therefore she called his name Dan.
 7 And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son.
 8 And Rachel said, "With great wrestlings I've wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed," and she called his name Naphtali.
 9 When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.
 10 And Zilpah, Leah's maid, bore Jacob a son.
 11 And Leah said, "A troop is coming," and she called his name Gad.
 12 And Zilpah Leah's maid bore Jacob a second son.
 13 And Leah said, "I am happy, for the daughters will call me blessed," and she called his name Asher.
 14 And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother Leah.  Then Rachel said to Leah, "Please give me, some of your son's mandrakes."
 15 And she said to her, "Is it a small matter that you've taken my husband?  And do you want to take my son's mandrakes, too?"  And Rachel said, "Therefore he shall lie with you to night for your son's mandrakes."
 16 And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, "You must come in to me, for surely I have hired you with my son's mandrakes."  And he lay with her that night.
 17 And God listened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob the fifth son.
 18 And Leah said, "God has given me my wages, because I've given my maid to my husband," and she called his name Issachar.
 19 And Leah conceived again, and bore Jacob the sixth son.
 20 And Leah said, "God has given me a good dowry, now my husband will dwell with me, because I have born him six sons," and she called his name Zebulun.
 21 And afterward she bore a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
 22 And God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and opened her womb.
 23 And she conceived, and bore a son, and said, "God has taken away my reproach,"
 24 And she called his name Joseph, and said, "The Lord shall add to me another son."
 25 And when Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, "Send me away, so I can go to my own place, and to my country.
 26 Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served you, and let me go, for you know my service that I've done for you."
 27 And Laban said to him, "Please, if I have found favor in your eyes, stay, for I have learned by experience that the Lord has blessed me for your sake.
 28 And he said, Appoint me your wages, and I will give it."
 29 And he said to him, "You know how I have served you, and how your cattle were with me.
 30 For it was little that you had before I came, and it has now increased to a multitude, and the Lord has blessed you since my coming, and now how shall I provide for my own house also?"
 31 And he said, "What shall I give you?  And Jacob said, don't give me anything, if you'll do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep your flock,
 32 I will go through all your flock to day, removing from there all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats, and of such shall be my hire.
 33 So shall my righteousness answer for me in the future, when it shall come for my hire before your face, each one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted stolen with me."
 34 And Laban said, "Okay, we'll do that."
 35 And he removed that day the he goats that were ringstraked and spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted, and each one that had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
 36 And he set three days' journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
 37 And Jacob took rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chestnut tree, and made white streaks in them, and made the white appear that was in the rods.
 38 And he set the rods that he had made before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, so they would conceive when they came to drink.
 39 And the flocks conceived before the rods, and produced cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
 40 And Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban, and he put his own flocks by themselves, and didn't put them with Laban's cattle.
 41 And whenever the stronger cattle conceived, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, do they would conceive among the rods.
 42 But when the cattle were feeble, he didn't put them in, so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
 43 And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.

___Genesis chapter 31
 1 And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, "Jacob has taken away all that was our father's, and of what was our father's he has gotten all this glory."
 2 And Jacob saw the face of Laban, and, see, it was not toward him as before.
 3 And the Lord said to Jacob, "Return to the land of your fathers, and to your kin, and I will be with you."
 4 And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field to his flock,
 5 And said to them, "I see your father's face, that it is not toward me like before, but the God of my father has been with me.
 6 And you know that with all my power I've served your father.
 7 And your father has deceived me, and changed my wages ten times, but God didn't allow him to hurt me.
 8 If he said, The speckled shall be your wages, then all the cattle bore speckled, and if he said, 'The ringstraked shall be your wages, then all the cattle bore ringstraked.'
 9 Thus God has taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
 10 And at the time that the cattle conceived, I lifted up my eyes, and saw in a dream, and see, the rams that jumped up on the cattle were ringstraked, speckled, and grizzled.
 11 And the angel of God spoke to me in a dream, saying, 'Jacob, And I said, I am here.
 12 And he said, Lift up your eyes now, and see, all the rams that jump up on the cattle are ringstraked, speckled, and grizzled, for I have seen all that Laban has done to you.
 13 I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed the pillar, and where you vowed a vow to me, now get up, get out of this land, and return to the land of your kin.' "
 14 And Rachel and Leah answered him, "Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
 15 Aren't we counted strangers by him?  For he has sold us, and has quite devoured also our money.
 16 For all the riches that God has taken from our father, that is ours, and our children's, now then, do whatever God has said to you."
 17 Then Jacob got up, and set his sons and his wives on camels,
 18 And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods that he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, that he had gotten in Padanaram, to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.
 19 And Laban went to shear his sheep, and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father's.
 20 And Jacob snuck away unaware to Laban the Syrian, in that he didn't tell him that he was going.
 21 So he fled with all that he had, and he got up, and passed over the river, and set his face toward mount Gilead.
 22 And someone told Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled.
 23 And he took his brothers with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey, and they overtook him in mount Gilead.
 24 And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said to him, "Make sure you don't speak to Jacob either good or bad."
 25 Then Laban overtook Jacob.  Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain, and Laban with his brothers pitched in mount Gilead.
 26 And Laban said to Jacob, "What have you done, that you've stolen away unaware to me, and carried away my daughters, like captives taken by the sword?
 27 Why did you flee away secretly, and steal away from me, and didn't tell me, so I could send you away with laughter, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp?
 28 And haven't allowed me to kiss my sons and my daughters?  You've now done foolishly in so doing.
 29 It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, 'Make sure you don't speak to Jacob either good or bad.'
 30 And now, though you want to be gone, because you severely long for your father's house, yet why have you stolen my gods?"
 31 And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid, for I said, "Perhaps you would take by force your daughters from me.
 32 With whomever you find your gods, let him not live, before our brothers discern what is yours with me, and take it."  For Jacob didn't know that Rachel had stolen them.
 33 And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two maidservants' tents, but he didn't find them.  Then he went out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
 34 Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel's furniture, and sat on them.  And Laban searched all the tent, but didn't find them.
 35 And she said to her father, "Let it not displease my lord that I can't rise up before you, for the custom of women is on me."  And he searched, but didn't find the images.
 36 And Jacob was angry, and spoke sharply to Laban, and Jacob said to Laban, "What is my trespass?  What is my sin, that you've so hotly pursued after me?
 37 Now that you've searched all my stuff, what have you found of all your household stuff?  Set it here before my brothers and your brothers, so they can judge between us both.
 38 These twenty years I've been with you, your ewes and your she goats haven't  cast their young, and the rams of your flock I haven't eaten.
 39 That which was torn by beasts I didn't bring to you, I bore the loss of it, you required it from my hand, whether stolen in the daytime, or stolen at night.
 40 Thus I was, in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night, and my sleep departed from my eyes.
 41 Thus have I been twenty years in your house, I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your cattle, and you've changed my wages ten times.
 42 Unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely you would have now sent me away empty.  God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and reprimanded you last night."
 43 And Laban answered and said to Jacob, "These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that you see is mine, and what can I do this day to these my daughters, or to their children which they have given birth to?
 44 Now therefore come, let's make a covenant, me and you, and let it be for a witness between me and you."
 45 And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.
 46 And Jacob said to his brothers, "Gather stones," and they took stones, and made a heap, and they ate there on the heap.
 47 And Laban called it Jegarsahadutha, but Jacob called it Galeed.
 48 And Laban said, "This heap is a witness between me and you this day."  Therefore the name of it was called Galeed,
 49 And Mizpah, for he said, "The Lord watch between me and you, when we are absent from each other.
 50 If you afflict my daughters, or if you take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us, see, God is witness between me and you."
 51 And Laban said to Jacob, "Look at this heap, and look at this pillar, that I have piled up between me and you,
 52 This heap is a witness, and this pillar is a witness, that I will not pass over this heap to you, and that you won't pass over this heap and this pillar to me, for harm.
 53 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us."  And Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac.
 54 Then Jacob offered sacrifice on the mountain, and called his brothers to eat bread, and they ate bread, and stayed all night in the mount.
 55 And early in the morning Laban got up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them, and Laban departed, and returned to his place.

___Genesis chapter 32
 1 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
 2 And when Jacob saw them, he said, "This is God's host," and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
 3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
 4 And he commanded them, saying, "Here's what to say to my lord Esau, your servant Jacob says, 'I've been staying with Laban until now,
 5 And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and women servants, and I have sent to tell my lord, so I'll find grace in your sight.' "
 6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, "We came to your brother Esau, and also he's coming to meet you, and four hundred men with him."
 7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed, and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands,
 8 And said, "If Esau comes to the one company, and strikes it, then the other company that is left shall escape."
 9 And Jacob said, "O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the Lord who said to me, 'Return to your country, and to your kin, and I will deal well with you,'
 10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, that you've shown to your servant, for with my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I've become two bands.
 11 Deliver me, please, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I fear him, so he won't come and strike me, and the mother with the children.
 12 And you said, I will surely do you good, and make your seed like the sand of the sea, that can't be numbered for multitude."
 13 And he lodged there that same night, and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother,
 14 Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
 15 Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.
 16 And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves, and said to his servants, "Pass over before me, and put a space between drove and drove."
 17 And he commanded the one in front, saying, "When Esau my brother meets you, and asks you, 'Whose are you?  And where are you going?  And whose are these before you?'
 18 Then you shall say, 'They are your servant Jacob's, it is a present sent to my lord Esau, and, see, he is behind us, also.' "
 19 And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, "Here's what to say to Esau, when you find him.
 20 And say also, 'See, your servant Jacob is behind us.  For he said, I will pacify him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face, perhaps he will accept it from me.' "
 21 So the present went over before him, and he lodged that night in the company.
 22 And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two women servants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.
 23 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over what he had.
 24 And Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day.
 25 And when he saw that he didn't prevail against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
 26 And he said, "Let me go, for the day is breaking."  And he said, "I won't let you go, unless you bless me."
 27 And he said to him, "What is your name?"  And he said, "Jacob."
 28 And he said, "Your name shall no more be called Jacob, but Israel, for like a prince you have power with God and with men, and have prevailed."
 29 And Jacob asked him, and said, "Tell me, please, your name."  And he said, "Why do you ask for my name?"  And he blessed him there.
 30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
 31 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose on him, and he walked with difficulty with his thigh.
 32 Therefore the children of Israel don't eat of the sinew that shrank, which is on the hollow of the thigh, to this day, because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.

___Genesis chapter 33
 1 And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and see, Esau came, and with him four hundred men.  And he divided the children to Leah, and to Rachel, and to the two handmaids.
 2 And he put the handmaids and their children in front, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.
 3 And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
 4 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him, and they cried.
 5 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children, and said, "Who are those with you?"  And he said, "The children that God has graciously given your servant."
 6 Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
 7 And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves, and afterward Joseph came near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
 8 And he said, "What did you mean by all this drove that I met?"  And he said, "These are to find grace in the sight of my lord."
 9 And Esau said, "I have enough, my brother, keep what you have for yourself."
 10 And Jacob said, "No, please, if I have now found grace in your sight, then receive my present from my hand, for therefore I have seen your face, as though I had seen the face of God, and you were pleased with me.
 11 Take, I pray you, my blessing that is brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough."  And he urged him, and he took it.
 12 And he said, "Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before you."
 13 And he said to him, "My lord knows that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me, and if men overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.
 14 Let my lord, please, pass over before his servant, and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that go before me and the children are able to endure, until I come to my lord to Seir."
 15 And Esau said, "Let me now leave with you some of the folk that are with me."  And he said, "No need for that.  Let me find grace in the sight of my lord."
 16 So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
 17 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built a house, and made booths for his cattle, therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
 18 And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram, and pitched his tent before the city.
 19 And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, from the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for a hundred pieces of money.
 20 And he erected there an altar, and called it Elelohe-Israel.

___Genesis chapter 34
 1 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, that she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
 2 And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her.
 3 And his soul stuck with Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young woman, and spoke kindly to the young woman.
 4 And Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, "Get me this young woman as wife."
 5 And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter, now his sons were with his cattle in the field, and Jacob said nothing until they had come.
 6 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to commune with him.
 7 And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard it, and the men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had done foolishness in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter, which thing ought not to be done.
 8 And Hamor communed with them, saying, "The soul of my son Shechem longs for your daughter, please give her to him as wife.
 9 And make marriages with us, and give your daughters to us, and take our daughters to you.
 10 And you'll live with us, and the land shall be before you, live and trade in it, and get yourselves possessions in it."
 11 And Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, "Let me find grace in your eyes, and what you shall say to me I will give.
 12 Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as you shall say to me, but give me the young woman as wife."
 13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,
 14 And they said to them, "We can't do this thing, to give our sister to someone uncircumcised, for that would be a reproach to us,
 15 But in this will we consent to you, If you will be as we are, that every male of you gets circumcised,
 16 Then will we give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will live with you, and we will become one people.
 17 But if you will not listen to us, to get circumcised, then we'll take our daughter, and we'll be gone."
 18 And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.
 19 And the young man didn't defer to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter, and he was more honorable than all the house of his father.
 20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,
 21 "These men are peaceable with us, therefore let them live in the land, and trade in it, for the land, see, it is large enough for them, let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.
 22 Only in this will the men consent to us to live with us, to be one people, if every male among us gets circumcised, like they are circumcised.
 23 Won't their cattle and their substance and every beast of theirs be ours?  Only let us consent to them, and they will live with us."
 24 And to Hamor and to Shechem his son, all that went out of the gate of his city listened, and every male got circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city.
 25 And on the third day, when they were sore, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, each took his sword, and came on the city boldly, and killed all the males.
 26 And they killer Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went out.
 27 The sons of Jacob came on the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister.
 28 They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and what was in the city, and what was in the field,
 29 And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives they took captive, and spoiled all that was in the house.
 30 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, "You have troubled me to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites, and I being few in number, they shall gather themselves together against me, and kill me, and I shall be destroyed, I and my house."
 31 And they said, "Should he deal with our sister as with a prostitute?"

___Genesis chapter 35
 1 And God said to Jacob, "Get up, go up to Bethel, and live there, and make an altar to God there, who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother."
 2 Then Jacob said to his household, and to all that were with him, "Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments,
 3 And let us get up, and go to Bethel, and I will make an altar to God there, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me on the way that I went."
 4 And they gave to Jacob all the strange gods that were in their hand, and all their earrings that were in their ears, and Jacob hid them under the oak that was by Shechem.
 5 And they journeyed, and the terror of God was on the cities that were around them, and they didn't pursue after the sons of Jacob.
 6 So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Bethel, he and all the people that were with him.
 7 And he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel, because God appeared to him there, when he fled from the face of his brother.
 8 But Deborah, Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried beneath Bethel under an oak, and the name of it was called Allonbachuth.
 9 And God appeared to Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him.
 10 And God said to him, "Your name is Jacob, your name shall not anymore be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name, and he called his name Israel."
 11 And God said to him, "I am God Almighty, be fruitful and multiply, a nation and a company of nations shall be of you, and kings shall come out of your loins,
 12 And the land that I gave Abraham and Isaac, to you I'll give it, and to your seed after you I will give the land."
 13 And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him.
 14 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, a pillar of stone, and he poured a drink offering on it, and he poured oil on it.
 15 And Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him, Bethel.
 16 And they journeyed from Bethel, and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath, and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labor.
 17 And when she was in hard labor, the midwife said to her, "Don't be afraid, you'll have this son also."
 18 And as her soul was in departing, (for she died), she called his name Benoni, but his father called him Benjamin.
 19 And Rachel died, and was buried on the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.
 20 And Jacob set a pillar on her grave, that is the pillar of Rachel's grave to this day.
 21 And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar.
 22 And when Israel lived in that land, Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine, and Israel heard it.  Now the sons of Jacob were twelve,
 23 The sons of Leah, Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun,
 24 The sons of Rachel, Joseph, and Benjamin,
 25 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid, Dan, and Naphtali,
 26 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid, Gad, and Asher, these are the sons of Jacob, that were born to him in Padanaram.
 27 And Jacob came to Isaac his father to Mamre, to the city of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac were visitors.
 28 And the days of Isaac were one hundred eighty years.
 29 And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered to his people, being old and full of days, and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.

___Genesis chapter 36

___Genesis chapter 37
 1 And Jacob lived in the land in which his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.
 2 These are the generations of Jacob.  Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers, and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives, and Joseph brought to his father their evil report.
 3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age, and he made him a coat of many colors.
 4 And when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him, and couldn't speak peaceably to him.
 5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him yet more.
 6 And he said to them, "Please listen to this dream that I've dreamed,
 7 For, see, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, see, my sheaf got up, and also stood upright, and, see, your sheaves stood around, and bowed to my sheaf."
 8 And his brothers said to him, "Shall you indeed reign over us?  Or shall you indeed have dominion over us?"  And they hated him yet more for his dreams, and for his words.
 9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brothers, and said, "See, I have dreamed another dream, and, see, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars bowed to me."
 10 And he told it to his father, and to his brothers, and his father reprimanded him, and said to him, "What is this dream that you've dreamed?  Shall I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow down ourselves to you to the earth?"
 11 And his brothers envied him, but his father observed the saying.
 12 And his brothers went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.
 13 And Israel said to Joseph, "Don't your brothers feed the flock in Shechem?  Come, and I will send you to them."  And he said to him, "Here I am."
 14 And he said to him, "Go, please, see whether it's well with your brothers, and well with the flocks, and bring me word again."  So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
 15 And a certain man found him, and see, he was wandering in the field, and the man asked him, saying, "What are you looking for?"
 16 And he said, "I'm looking for my brothers, tell me, please, where they feed their flocks."
 17 And the man said, "They've gone from here, for I heard them say, 'Let's go to Dothan.' "  And Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.
 18 And when they saw him far off, even before he came near, they conspired against him to kill him.
 19 And they said to each other, "See, this dreamer is coming.
 20 Come now therefore, and let us kill him, and throw him into some pit, and we'll say, Some evil beast has devoured him, and we shall see what will become of his dreams."
 21 And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands, and said, "Let's not kill him."
 22 And Reuben said to them, "Shed no blood, but throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand on him," so he could rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again.
 23 And when Joseph had come to his brothers, they stripped Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colors that was on him,
 24 And they took him, and threw him into a pit, and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.
 25 And they sat down to eat bread, and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, see, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
 26 And Judah said to his brothers, "What profit is it if we kill our brother, and conceal his blood?
 27 Come, and let's sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let our hand not be on him, for he is our brother and our flesh."  And his brothers were content.
 28 Then Midianite merchantmen passed by, and they lifted Joseph up out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver, and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
 29 And Reuben returned to the pit, and, see, Joseph was not in the pit, and he tore his clothes.
 30 And he returned to his brothers, and said, "The child is not, and I, where shall I go?"
 31 And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood,
 32 And they sent the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father, and said, "This have we found, know now whether it's your son's coat or not."
 33 And he knew it, and said, "It is my son's coat, an evil beast has devoured him, Joseph is no doubt torn in pieces."
 34 And Jacob tore his clothes, and dressed in sackcloth, and mourned for his son many days.
 35 And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted, and he said, "For I will go down into the grave to my son mourning."  Thus his father cried for him.
 36 And the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, and captain of the guard.

___Genesis chapter 38
 1 And at that time, Judah went down from his brothers, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
 2 And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah, and he took her, and went in to her.
 3 And she conceived, and bore a son, and he named him Er.
 4 And she conceived again, and bore a son, and she named him Onan.
 5 And she conceived yet again, and bore a son, and named him Shelah, and he was at Chezib, when she bore him.
 6 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar.
 7 And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord killed him.
 8 And Judah said to Onan, "Go in to your brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to your brother."
 9 And Onan knew that the seed wouldn't be his, and when he went in to his brother's wife, he spilled it on the ground, so that he wouldn't give seed to his brother.
 10 And the thing that he did displeased the Lord, so he killed him also.
 11 Then Judah said to Tamar his daughter in law, "Remain a widow at your father's house, until Shelah my son has grown," for he said, So that he won't perhaps die also, like his brothers did.  And Tamar went and lived in her father's house.
 12 And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife died, and Judah was comforted, and went up to his sheep shearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
 13 And it was told to Tamar, saying, "See your father in law goes up to Timnath to shear his sheep."
 14 And she put her widow's garments off from her, and covered herself with a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Timnath, for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given to him as wife.
 15 When Judah saw her, he thought her to be a prostitute, because she had covered her face.
 16 And he turned to her by the way, and said, "Go on, please, let me come in to you," (for he didn't know that she was his daughter in law.) "And she said, What will you give me, so you can come in to me?"
 17 And he said, "I will send you a kid from the flock.  And she said, "Will you give me a deposit, 'til you send it?"
 18 And he said, "What deposit shall I give you?"  And she said, "Your signet, and your bracelets, and your staff that is in your hand."  And he gave it her, and came in to her, and she conceived by him.
 19 And she arose, and went away, and laid her vail off, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
 20 And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman's hand, but he didn't find her.
 21 Then he asked the men of that place, saying, "Where is the prostitute, that was openly by the way side?"  And they said, "There was no prostitute in this place."
 22 And he returned to Judah, and said, "I can't find her, and also the men of the place said that there was no prostitute in this place."
 23 And Judah said, "Let her receive it, so we won't be ashamed, see, I sent this kid, and you haven't found her."
 24 And about three months afterward, it was told Judah, saying, "Tamar your daughter in law has played the prostitute, and also, see, she is with child by whoredom."  And Judah said, Bring her out, and let her be burnt.
 25 When she was brought out, she sent to her father in law, saying, "By the man, whose these are, I am with child," and she said, "Discern, please, whose are these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff."
 26 And Judah acknowledged them, and said, "She has been more righteous than I, because I didn't give her to Shelah my son."  And he knew her again no more.
 27 And in the time of her travail, see, twins were in her womb.
 28 And when she travailed, the one put out his hand, and the midwife took and bound on his hand a red thread, saying, "This one came out first."
 29 And as he pulled back his hand, see, his brother came out, and she said, "How have you broken out?  This breach is on you," therefore he was named Pharez.
 30 And afterward came out his brother, that had the red thread on his hand, and he was named Zarah.

___Genesis chapter 39
 1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hands of the Ishmeelites, who had brought him down there.
 2 And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man, and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
 3 And his master saw that the Lord was with him, and that the Lord made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
 4 And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him, and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
 5 And from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, the Lord blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake, and the blessing of the Lord was on all that he had in the house, and in the field.
 6 And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand, and he didn't know anything he had, except the bread that he ate.  And Joseph was an attractive person, and well favored.
 7 And after these things, his master's wife cast her eyes on Joseph, and she said, "Lie with me."
 8 But he refused, and said to his master's wife, "See, my master doesn't know what is with me in the house, and he has committed all that he has to my hand,
 9 There is none greater in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, because you're his wife.  How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?"
 10 And as she spoke to Joseph day by day, he didn't listen to her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
 11 And about this time, Joseph went into the house to do his business, and there were none of the men of the house there inside.
 12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, "Lie with me," and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got out.
 13 And when she saw that he'd left his garment in her hand, and had fled,
 14 She called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, "See, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to mock us, he came in to me to lie with me, and I shouted with a loud voice,
 15 And when he heard me lift up my voice and shout, he left his garment with me, and fled, and got out."
 16 And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.
 17 And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, "The Hebrew servant, that you brought to us, came in to me to mock me,
 18 And as I lifted up my voice and shouted, he left his garment with me, and fled out."
 19 And when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, "This is what your servant did to me, his anger was kindled."
 20 And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were bound, and he was there in the prison.
 21 But the Lord was with Joseph, and showed him mercy, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
 22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison, and whatever they did there, he was the doer of it.
 23 The keeper of the prison looked not to anything that was under his hand, because the Lord was with him, and whatever he did, the Lord made it to prosper.

___Genesis chapter 40
 1 And after these things, the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt.
 2 And Pharaoh was angry against two of his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.
 3 And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.
 4 And the captain of the guard put them in Joseph's care, and he served them, and they continued a while in ward.
 5 And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, that were bound in the prison.
 6 And Joseph came in to them in the morning, and looked at them, and, see, they were sad.
 7 And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in the ward of his lord's house, saying, "Why do you look so sad today?"
 8 And they said to him, "We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it."  And Joseph said to them, "Don't interpretations belong to God?  Please tell me the dreams."
 9 And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, "In my dream, see, a vine was before me,
 10 And in the vine were three branches, and it was as though it budded, and its blossoms shot out.  And the clusters of it produced ripe grapes,
 11 And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand."
 12 And Joseph said to him, "This is the interpretation of it, the three branches are three days,
 13 Yet within three days Pharaoh shall lift up your head, and restore you to your place, and you'll deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, like before when you were his butler.
 14 But think on me when it shall be well with you, and show kindness, please, to me, and tell Pharaoh about me, and bring me out of this house,
 15 For indeed I was kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and here also I've done nothing deserving imprisonment."
 16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, "I also was in my dream, and, see, I had three white baskets on my head,
 17 And in the top basket there was all kinds of bakery products for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head."
 18 And Joseph answered and said, "This is the interpretation of it, the three baskets are three days,
 19 Yet within three days Pharaoh shall lift up your head from you, and shall hang you on a tree, and the birds shall eat your flesh from you."
 20 And the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, he made a feast to all his servants, and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.
 21 And he restored the chief butler to his butlership again, and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand,
 22 But he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
 23 Yet the chief butler didn't remember Joseph, but forgot him.

___Genesis chapter 41
 1 And at the end of two full years, Pharaoh dreamed: and see, he stood by the river.
 2 And see, out of the river came seven well favored kine and fat fleshed, and they fed in a meadow.
 3 And, see, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill favored and lean fleshed, and stood by the other kine on the bank of the river.
 4 And the ill favored and lean fleshed kine ate up the seven well favored and fat kine.  So Pharaoh awoke.
 5 And he slept and dreamed the second time, and, see, seven ears of corn came up on one stalk, rank and good.
 6 And, see, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprang up after them.
 7 And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears.  And Pharaoh awoke, and, see, it was a dream.
 8 And in the morning his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men of it, and Pharaoh told them his dream, but there was no one that could interpret them to Pharaoh.
 9 Then the chief butler spoke to Pharaoh, saying, "I do remember my faults this day,
 10 Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me in jail in the captain of the guard's house, both me and the chief baker,
 11 And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he, we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
 12 And there was there with us a young man, a Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard, and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams, to each man according to his dream he interpreted.
 13 And as he interpreted to us, so it was, me he restored to my office, and him he hanged."
 14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him in a hurry out of the dungeon, and he shaved himself, and changed his clothes, and came to Pharaoh.
 15 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I have dreamed a dream, and there is no one that can interpret it, and I have heard about you, that you can understand a dream to interpret it."
 16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, "It is not in me, God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace."
 17 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "In my dream, see, I stood on the bank of the river,
 18 And, see, out of the river came seven kine, fat fleshed and well favored, and they fed in a meadow,
 19 And, see, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favored and lean fleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness,
 20 And the lean and the ill favored kine ate up the first seven fat kine, 
 21 And when they had eaten them up, it couldn't be known that they had eaten them, but they were still ill favored, as at the beginning.  So I awoke.
 22 And I saw in my dream, and, see, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good,
 23 And, see, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprang up after them,
 24 And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears, and I told this to the magicians, but there was no one that could explain it to me."
 25 And Joseph said to Pharaoh, "The dream of Pharaoh is one, God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.
 26 The seven good kine are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years, the dream is one.
 27 And the seven thin and ill favored kine that came up after them are seven years, and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.
 28 This is the thing that I've spoken to Pharaoh, What God is about to do he has shown to Pharaoh.
 29 See, seven years of great plenty are coming throughout all the land of Egypt,
 30 And after them shall come seven years of famine, and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine shall consume the land,
 31 And the plenty shall not be known in the land because of the famine following, for it shall be very bad.
 32 And because the dream was given to Pharaoh twice, it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly make it happen.
 33 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
 34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up one fifth of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.
 35 And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and store up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
 36 And that food shall be for store to the land for the seven years of famine, that shall be in the land of Egypt, so the land is not destroyed by the famine."
 37 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
 38 And Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find such a man as this is, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?"
 39 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Since God has shown you all this, there is no one so discreet and wise as you are,
 40 You shall be over my house, and according to your word shall all my people be ruled, only in the throne will I be greater than you."
 41 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt."
 42 And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it on Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain around his neck,
 43 And he made him to ride in the second chariot that he had, and they cried before him, "Bow the knee," and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.
 44 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I am Pharaoh, and without you shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt."
 45 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnathpaaneah, and he gave him as wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah, priest of On.  And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.
 46 And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt.  And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
 47 And in the seven plenteous years the earth produced by handfuls.
 48 And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities, the food of the field, that was around every city, he laid up in the cities.
 49 And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he stopped counting, for it was without number.
 50 And to Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bore to him.
 51 And Joseph named the firstborn Manasseh, "For God, said he, has made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house."
 52 And he named the second Ephraim, "For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction."
 53 And the seven years of plenteousness in the land of Egypt ended.
 54 And the seven years of drought began to come, according as Joseph had said, and the drought was in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
 55 And when all the land of Egypt was hungry, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread, and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, "Go to Joseph; do what he tells you."
 56 And the famine was over all the face of the earth, And Joseph opened all the store houses, and sold to the Egyptians, and the famine became severe in the land of Egypt.
 57 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph to buy corn, because the famine was so severe in all lands.

___Genesis chapter 42
 1 Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said to his sons, "Why do you look at each other?"
 2 And he said, "See, I've heard there is corn in Egypt, get down there, and buy for us from there, so we can live, and not die."
 3 And Joseph's ten brothers went down to buy corn in Egypt.
 4 But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob didn't send with his brothers, for he said, "So that no mischief will happen to him."
 5 And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that came, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
 6 And Joseph was the governor over the land, and it was he that sold to all the people of the land, and Joseph's brothers came, and bowed themselves down before him with their faces to the earth.
 7 And Joseph saw his brothers, and he knew them, but made himself strange to them, and spoke roughly to them, and he said to them, "Where do you come from?"  And they said, "From the land of Canaan to buy food."
 8 And Joseph knew his brothers, but they didn't know not him.
 9 And Joseph remembered the dreams that he'd dreamed about them, and said to them, "You are spies, you've come to see the nakedness of the land."
 10 And they said to him, "No, my lord, your servants have come to buy food.
 11 We are all one man's sons, we are honest men, your servants are not spies."
 12 And he said to them, "No, you've come to see the nakedness of the land."
 13 And they said, "Your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan, and, see, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not."
 14 And Joseph said to them, "That is what I said to you, you are spies,
 15 Here's how you'll be tested, by the life of Pharaoh you won't go from here, unless your youngest brother comes here.
 16 Send one of you, and let him bring your brother, and you'll be kept in prison, so your words can be proven, whether there is any truth in you, or else by the life of Pharaoh surely you're spies."
 17 And he put them all together into jail three days.
 18 And Joseph said to them the third day, "Do this, and live, for I fear God,
 19 If you're honest men, let one of your brothers be bound in the house of your prison, go, carry corn for the famine of your houses,
 20 But bring your youngest brother to me, so shall your words be verified, and you won't die."  And they did so.
 21 And they said to each other, "We are truly guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he asked us, and we would not listen, that's why this distress has come on us."
 22 And Reuben answered them, saying, "Didn't I tell you, 'Don't sin against the child, and you wouldn't listen?  Therefore, see, his blood is required.' "
 23 And they didn't know that Joseph understood them, for he spoke to them by an interpreter.
 24 And he turned around from them, and cried, and returned to them again, and talked with them, and took from them Simeon, and bound him before their eyes.
 25 Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provision for the trip, and thus he did to them.
 26 And they loaded the corn on their donkeys, and departed from there.
 27 And as one of them opened his sack to give his donkey food in the inn, he saw his money, for, see, it was in his sack's mouth.
 28 And he said to his brothers, "My money is restored, and, see, it is in my sack," and their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying to each other, "What is this that God has done to us?"
 29 And they came to Jacob their father to the land of Canaan, and told him all that happened to them, saying,
 30 "The man, who is the lord of the land, spoke roughly to us, and thought we were there to spy on that nation.
 31 And we said to him, 'We are honest men, we are not spies,
 32 We are twelve brothers, sons of our father, one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.'
 33 And the man, the lord of the country, said to us, here's how I'll know that you are honest men, leave one of your brothers here with me, and take food for the famine of your households, and be gone,
 34 And bring your youngest brother to me, then I'll know that you are not spies, but that you are honest men, then I'll give you back your brother, and you'll traffic in the land."
 35 And as they emptied their sacks, see, every man's bundle of money was in his sack, and when both they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid.
 36 And Jacob their father said to them, "You've bereaved me of my children, Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and you want to take Benjamin away, all these things are against me."
 37 And Reuben spoke to his father, saying, "Kill my two sons, if I don't bring him to you, deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him back you."
 38 And he said, "My son shall not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he is left alone, if mischief happens to him on the way that you go, then you'll bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave."

___Genesis chapter 43
 1 And the famine was severe in the land.
 2 And when they had eaten up the corn that they had brought out of Egypt, their father said to them, "Go again, buy us a little food."
 3 And Judah spoke to him, saying, "The man did solemnly protest to us, saying, 'You won't see my face, unless your brother is with you.'
 4 If you'll send our brother with us, we'll go down and buy you food,
 5 But if you won't send him, we won't go down, for the man said to us, 'You won't see my face, unless your brother is with you.' "
 6 And Israel said, "Why did you deal so badly with me, as to tell the man whether you had another brother?"
 7 And they said, "The man asked us directly about our condition, and about our kin, saying, Is your father still alive?  Do you have another brother?  And so we told him, could we certainly know that he would say, 'Bring your brother down?' "
 8 And Judah said to Israel his father, "Send the lad with me, and we'll get up and go, so we can live, and not die, both we, and you, and also our little ones.
 9 I will be surety for him, from my hand you'll require him, if I don't bring him back to you, and set him before you, then let me bear the blame forever,
 10 For if we hadn't waited, by now we'd have returned the second time."
 11 And their father Israel said to them, "If it must be so now, do this, take some of the best fruits in the land in your containers, and carry down to the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds,
 12 And take double money in your hand, and the money that was brought again in the mouth of your sacks, carry it again in your hand, perhaps it was an oversight,
 13 Take also your brother, and get up, go again to the man,
 14 And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, so that he'll send away your other brother, and Benjamin.  If I'm bereaved of my children, I'm bereaved."
 15 And the men took that present, and they took double money in their hand, and Benjamin, and got up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.
 16 And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house, "Bring these men home, and kill some meat, and make ready, for these men shall eat with me at noon."
 17 And the man did as Joseph said, and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.
 18 And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph's house, and they said, "We're being brought in because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time, so he can seek occasion against us, and fall on us, and take us for slaves, and our donkeys."
 19 And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they communed with him at the door of the house,
 20 And said, "O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food,
 21 And when we came to the hotel, we opened our sacks, and, see, every man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight, and we've brought it back in our hand.
 22 And we've brought other money brought down in our hands to buy food, we can't tell who put our money in our sacks."
 23 And he said, "Peace be to you, don't be afraid, your God, and the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks, I had your money."  And he brought Simeon out to them.
 24 And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet, and he gave their donkeys food.
 25 And they made ready the present for when Joseph came at noon, for they heard that they would eat bread there.
 26 And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present that was in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.
 27 And he asked them about their welfare, and said, "Is your father well, the old man about whom you spoke?  Is he still alive?"
 28 And they answered, "Your servant our father is in good health, he is yet alive."  And they bowed down their heads.
 29 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, "Is this your younger brother, about whom you spoke to me?"  And he said, "God be gracious to you, my son."
 30 And Joseph hurried, for he yearned for his brother, and he looked for a place to cry, and he entered into his room, and cried there.
 31 And he washed his face, and went out, and restrained himself, and said, "Bring bread."
 32 And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, who art with him, by themselves, because the Egyptians couldn't eat bread with the Hebrews, for that is an abomination to the Egyptians.
 33 And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth, and the men showed their surprise to each other.
 34 And he took and sent portions to them from before him, but Benjamin's portion was five times as much as any of theirs.  And they drank, and were merry with him.

___Genesis chapter 44
 1 And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, "Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's money in his sack's mouth.
 2 And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, and his corn money."  And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
 3 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their donkeys.
 4 And when they had gone out of the city, and not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, "Up, follow after the men, and when you overtake them, say to them, 'Why have you repaid evil for good?
 5 Isn't this the cup in which my lord drinks, and by which he divines?  You've done evil in so doing.' "
 6 And he overtook them, and he spoke to them the same words.
 7 And they said to him, "Why does my lord say these words?  God forbid that your servants should do according to this thing,
 8 See, the money, that we found in our sacks' mouths, we brought back to you out of the land of Canaan, how then could we steal out of your lord's house silver or gold?
 9 With whomever of your servants it is found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen."
 10 And he said, "Now also let it be according to your words, he with whom it is found shall be my servant, and you shall be blameless."
 11 Then every man speedily took down his sack to the ground, and opened their sacks.
 12 And he searched, and began at the eldest, and went to the youngest, and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
 13 Then they tore their clothes, and loaded their donkeys, and returned to the city.
 14 And Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house, for he was still there, and they fell before him on the ground.
 15 And Joseph said to them, "What deed is this that you've done?  Don't you know that such a man as I can certainly divine?"
 16 And Judah said, "What shall we say to my lord?  What shall we speak?  Or how shall we clear ourselves?  God has found out the sin of your servants, see, we are my lord's servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup was found."
 17 And he said, "God forbid that I should do so, but the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant, and as for you, get you up in peace to your father."
 18 Then Judah came near to him, and said, "Oh my lord, please let your servant speak a word in my lord's ears, and let your anger not burn against your servant, for you are like Pharaoh.
 19 My lord asked his servants, saying, 'Do you have you a father, or a brother?'
 20 And we said to my lord, 'We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one, and his brother is dead, and only he is left from his mother, and his father loves him.'
 21 And you said to your servants, 'Bring him down to me, so I can see him.
 22 And we said to my lord, The lad can't leave his father, for if he would leave his father, his father would die.
 23 And you said to your servants, 'Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you'll see my face no more.'
 24 And when we went up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
 25 And our father said, 'Go again, and buy us a little food.'
 26 And we said, 'We can't go down, if our youngest brother is with us, then we'll go down, for we can't see the man's face, unless our youngest brother is with us.'
 27 And your servant my father said to us, 'You know that my wife bore me two sons,
 28 And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces, and I haven't seen him since,
 29 And if you take this also from me, and mischief happens to him, you'll bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.'
 30 Now therefore when I come to your servant my father, and the lad be not with us, seeing that his life is bound up in the lad's life,
 31 It when he sees that the lad is not with us, he'll die, and your servants shall bring down the gray hairs of your servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
 32 For your servant became surety for the lad to my father, saying, If I bring him not to you, then I shall bear the blame to my father forever.
 33 Now therefore, please, let your servant stay instead of the lad a bondman to my lord, and let the lad go up with his brothers.
 34 For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad is not with me?  So that I won't see the evil that shall come on my father."

___Genesis chapter 45
 1 Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all those who stood by him, and he shouted, "Cause every man to go out from me."  And no man stood with him, while Joseph made himself known to his brothers.
 2 And he cried out loud, and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.
 3 And Joseph said to his brothers, "I am Joseph, is my father still alive?"  And his brothers couldn't answer him, for they were troubled at his presence.
 4 And Joseph said to his brothers, "Please come near to me."  And they came near.  And he said, "I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
 5 Now therefore don't be grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you sold me into Egypt, for God sent me before you to preserve life.
 6 For these two years the famine has been in the land, and yet there are five years, in which there'll be no harvest.
 7 And God sent me before you to preserve you in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
 8 So now it was not you that sent me here, but God, and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
 9 Hurry up, and go up to my father, and say to him, 'Thus says your son Joseph, God has made me lord of all Egypt, come down to me, don't wait,
 10 And you'll live in the land of Goshen, and you'll be near to me, you, and your children, and your children's children, and your flocks, and your herds, and all that you have,
 11 And I'll nourish you there, for there are still five years of famine, so that you, and your household, and all that you have, don't come to poverty.'
 12 And see, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaks to you.
 13 And you shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that you have seen, and you shall hurry and bring down my father here."
 14 And he fell on his brother Benjamin's neck, and cried, and Benjamin cried on his neck.
 15 Also he kissed all his brothers, and cried on them, and after that his brothers talked with him.
 16 And the news of it was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, "Joseph's brothers have come," and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
 17 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Say to your brothers, "Do this, load your animals, and go, get yourselves to the land of Canaan,
 18 And take your father and your households, and come to me, and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and you'll eat the fat of the land.'
 19 Now you are commanded, do this, take wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.
 20 Also don't worry about your stuff, for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours."
 21 And the children of Israel did so, and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
 22 To all of them he gave each man changes of clothing, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of clothing.
 23 And he sent to his father like this, ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with corn and bread and meat for his father by the way.
 24 So he sent his brothers away, and they departed, and he said to them, "See that you don't have a falling out on the way."
 25 And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan to Jacob their father,
 26 And told him, saying, "Joseph is still alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt."  And Jacob's heart fainted, for he didn't believe them.
 27 And they told him all the words of Joseph, that he had said to them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived,
 28 And Israel said, "It is enough, Joseph my son is still alive, I'll go and see him before I die.

___Genesis chapter 46
 1 And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
 2 And God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, "Jacob, Jacob."  And he said, "Here I am."
 3 And he said, "I am God, the God of your father, don't be afraid to go down into Egypt, for I will make of you a great nation there,
 4 I will go down with you into Egypt, and I will also surely bring you up again, and Joseph shall put his hand on your eyes."
 5 And Jacob got up from Beersheba, and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons that Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
 6 And they took their cattle, and their goods, that they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him,
 7 His sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters, and he brought all his seed with him into Egypt.
 8 And these are the names of the children of Israel, that went into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn.
 9 And the sons of Reuben, Hanoch, and Phallu, and Hezron, and Carmi.
 10 And the sons of Simeon, Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman.
 11 And the sons of Levi, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
 12 And the sons of Judah, Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Pharez, and Zerah, but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan.  And the sons of Pharez were Hezron and Hamul.
 13 And the sons of Issachar, Tola, and Phuvah, and Job, and Shimron.
 14 And the sons of Zebulun, Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel.
 15 These are the sons of Leah, that she bore to Jacob in Padanaram, with his daughter Dinah, all the souls of his sons and his daughters were thirty three.
 16 And the sons of Gad, Ziphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and Ezbon, Eri, and Arodi, and Areli.
 17 And the sons of Asher, Jimnah, and Ishuah, and Isui, and Beriah, and Serah their sister, and the sons of Beriah, Heber, and Malchiel.
 18 These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter, and these she bore to Jacob, sixteen souls.
 19 The sons of Rachel Jacob's wife, Joseph, and Benjamin.
 20 And to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bore to him.
 21 And the sons of Benjamin were Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard.
 22 These are the sons of Rachel, that were born to Jacob, all the souls were fourteen.
 23 And the sons of Dan, Hushim.
 24 And the sons of Naphtali, Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shillem.
 25 These are the sons of Bilhah, that Laban gave to Rachel his daughter, and she bore these to Jacob, all the souls were seven.
 26 All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, that came out of his body, besides Jacob's sons' wives, all the souls were sixty six,
 27 And the sons of Joseph, that were born him in Egypt, were two souls, all the souls of the house of Jacob, that came into Egypt, were seventy.
 28 And he sent Judah before him to Joseph, to direct his face to Goshen, and they came into the land of Goshen.
 29 And Joseph prepared his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself to him, and he fell on his neck, and cried on his neck a good while.
 30 And Israel said to Joseph, "Now let me die, since I have seen your face, because you are still alive."
 31 And Joseph said to his brothers, and to his father's house, "I will go up, and show Pharaoh, and say to him, 'My brothers, and my father's house, that were in the land of Canaan, have come to me,
 32 And the men are shepherds, for their trade has been to feed cattle, and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.'
 33 And when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, 'What is your occupation?'
 34 You shall say, 'Your servants' trade has been about cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and also our fathers,' so that you can live in the land of Goshen, for every shepherd is thought to be dirty by the Egyptians."

___Genesis chapter 47
 1 Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, "My father and my brothers, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, have come out of the land of Canaan, and, see, they are in the land of Goshen."
 2 And he took some of his brothers, five men, and presented them to Pharaoh.
 3 And Pharaoh said to his brothers, "What is your occupation?"  And they said to Pharaoh, "Your servants are shepherds, both we, and also our fathers."
 4 They said also to Pharaoh, "We have come to be visitors in the land, for your servants have no pasture for their flocks, for the famine is severe in the land of Canaan, now therefore, please let your servants live in the land of Goshen."
 5 And Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, "Your father and your brothers have come to you,
 6 The land of Egypt is before you, in the best of the land make your father and brothers to live, in the land of Goshen let them live, and if you know any men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle."
 7 And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
 8 And Pharaoh said to Jacob, "How old are you?"
 9 And Jacob said to Pharaoh, "The days of the years of my pilgrimage are one hundred thirty years, few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage."
 10 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.
 11 And Joseph placed his father and his brothers, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
 12 And Joseph nourished his father, and his brothers, and all his father's household, with bread, according to their families.
 13 And there was no bread in all the land, for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted because of the famine.
 14 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought, and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.
 15 And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph, and said, "Give us bread, for why should we die in your presence?  For the money is gone."
 16 And Joseph said, "Give your cattle, and I will give you for your cattle, if there's no money."
 17 And they brought their cattle to Joseph, and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the donkeys, and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year.
 18 When that year had ended, they came to him the second year, and said to him, "We will not hide it from my lord, how that our money is spent, my lord also has our herds of cattle, there is not any left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands,
 19 Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land?  Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh, and give us seed, so we can live, and not die, so that the land won't be desolate."
 20 And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for each of the Egyptians sold his field, because the famine prevailed over them, so the land became Pharaoh's.
 21 And as for the people, he moved them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end of it.
 22 Only the land of the priests he didn't buy, for the priests had a portion assigned to them by Pharaoh, and ate their portion that Pharaoh gave them, so they didn't sell their lands.
 23 Then Joseph said to the people, "See, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh, see, here is seed for you, and you shall plant the land.
 24 And in the harvest, you shall give one fifth to Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for those of your households, and for food for your little ones."
 25 And they said, "You've saved our lives, let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants."
 26 And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt to this day, that Pharaoh should have one fifth, except the land of the priests only, that didn't become Pharaoh's.
 27 And Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen, and they had possessions in it, and grew, and multiplied very much.
 28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years, so the whole age of Jacob was one hundred forty seven years.
 29 And the time came near for Israel to die, and he called his son Joseph, and said to him, "If now I have found grace in your sight, please put, your hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me, please don't bury me, in Egypt,
 30 But I will lie with my fathers, and you'll carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying place."  And he said, "I will do as you have said."
 31 And he said, "Swear to me."  And he swore to him.  And Israel bowed himself on the bed's head.

___Genesis chapter 48
 1 And after these things, someone told Joseph, "See, your father is sick," and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.
 2 And someone told Jacob, and said, "See, your son Joseph is coming to you," and Israel strengthened himself, and sat on the bed.
 3 And Jacob said to Joseph, "God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
 4 And said to me, 'See, I will make you fruitful, and multiply you, and I will make of you a multitude of people, and will give this land to your seed after you for an everlasting possession.'
 5 And now your two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, that were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt, are mine, like Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.
 6 And your issue, that you beget after them, shall be yours, and shall be called after the name of their brothers in their inheritance.
 7 And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan on the way, when there was but a little way to come to Ephrath, and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath, the same is Bethlehem."
 8 And Israel saw Joseph's sons, and said, "Who are these?"
 9 And Joseph said to his father, "They are my sons, whom God has given me in this place."  And he said, "Please bring them to me, and I will bless them."
 10 Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he could not see.  And he brought them near to him, and he kissed them, and embraced them.
 11 And Israel said to Joseph, "I had not thought to see your face, and, see, God has shown me also your children."
 12 And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.
 13 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near to him.
 14 And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it on Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh's head, guiding his hands knowingly, for Manasseh was the firstborn.
 15 And he blessed Joseph, and said, "God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God that fed me all my life long to this day,
 16 The Angel who redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads, and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac, and let them grow into a multitude in the earth."
 17 And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him, and he held up his father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head to Manasseh's head.
 18 And Joseph said to his father, "Not so, my father, for this is the firstborn, put your right hand on his head."
 19 And his father refused, and said, "I know it, my son, I know it, he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great, but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations."
 20 And he blessed them that day, saying, "In you shall Israel bless, saying, God make you like Ephraim and as Manasseh," and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.
 21 And Israel said to Joseph, "See, I'm dying, but God shall be with you, and bring you again to the land of your fathers.
 22 Also I've given to you one portion above your brothers, that I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow."

___Genesis chapter 49
 1 And Jacob called to his sons, and said, "Gather yourselves together, so I can tell you what will happen to you in the last days.
 2 Gather yourselves together, and hear, you sons of Jacob, and listen to your father Israel.
 3 Reuben, you're my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power,
 4 Unstable as water, you won't excel, because you went up to your father's bed, then you defiled it, he went up to my couch.
 5 Simeon and Levi are brothers, instruments of cruelty are in their habitations.
 6 O my soul, don't come into their secret, to their assembly, my honor, don't be united, for in their anger they killed a man, and in their self will they dug down a wall.
 7 Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce and it was cruel, I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
 8 Judah, you are he whom your brothers shall praise, your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies, your father's children shall bow down before you.
 9 Judah is a lion's whelp, from the prey, my son, you have gone up, he stooped down, he couched like a lion, and as an old lion, who shall rouse him up?
 10 The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes, and to him shall the gathering of the people be.
 11 Binding his foal to the vine, and his ass's colt to the choice vine, he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes,
 12 His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.
 13 Zebulun shall live at the haven of the sea, and he shall be for an haven of ships, and his border shall be to Zidon.
 14 Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens,
 15 And he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant, and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a bondservant.
 16 Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
 17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that bites the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.
 18 I have waited for your salvation, O Lord.
 19 Gad, a troop shall overcome him, but he shall overcome at the last.
 20 Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.
 21 Naphtali is a hind let loose, he gives goodly words.
 22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well, whose branches run over the wall,
 23 The archers have severely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him,
 24 But his bow lived in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob, (from there is the shepherd, the stone of Israel,)
 25 By the God of your father, who shall help you, and by the Almighty, who shall bless you with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb,
 26 The blessings of your father have prevailed above the blessings of my ancestors to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills, they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brothers.
 27 Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf, in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil."
 28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is it that their father spoke to them, and blessed them, everyone according to his blessing he blessed them.
 29 And he commanded them, and said to them, "I am to be gathered to my people, bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
 30 In the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, that is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a burying place.
 31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife, there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife, and there I buried Leah.
 32 The purchase of the field and of the cave that is in it was from the children of Heth."
 33 And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered to his people.

___Genesis chapter 50
 1 And Joseph fell on his father's face, and cried on him, and kissed him.
 2 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father, and the physicians embalmed Israel.
 3 And forty days were fulfilled for him, 'cause that's what they do when they embalm, and the Egyptians mourned for him seventy days.
 4 And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, "If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
 5 'My father made me swear, saying, See, I'm dying, in my grave that I've dug for myself in the land of Canaan is where you shall bury me.  Now therefore let me go up, please, and bury my father, and I'll come back.' "
 6 And Pharaoh said, "Go up, and bury your father, like he made you promise."
 7 And Joseph went up to bury his father, and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,
 8 And all the house of Joseph, and his brothers, and his father's house, only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.
 9 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen, and it was a very large company.
 10 And they came to the threshing floor of Atad, that is beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very severe lamentation, and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
 11 And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, "This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians," so the name of it was called Abelmizraim, which is beyond Jordan.
 12 And his sons did to him according as he commanded them,
 13 For his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a burying place from Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.
 14 And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brothers, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.
 15 And when Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, "Joseph will perhaps hate us, and will certainly repay us for all the evil that we did to him."
 16 And they sent a messenger to Joseph, saying, "your father commanded before he died, saying,
 17 'So shall you say to Joseph, please forgive now the sins of your brothers, for they did evil to you, and now, please forgive the sins of the servants of the God of your father.' "  And Joseph cried when they spoke to him.
 18 And his brothers also went and fell down before his face, and they said, "See, we are your servants."
 19 And Joseph said to them, "Don't be afraid, for am I in the place of God?
 20 But as for you, you thought evil against me, but God meant it for good, to make it happen, as it is this day, to save many people alive.
 21 Now therefore don't be afraid, I will nourish you, and your little ones.  And he comforted them, and spoke kindly to them."
 22 And Joseph lived in Egypt, he, and his father's house, and Joseph lived one hundred ten years.
 23 And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation, the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up on Joseph's knees.
 24 And Joseph said to his brothers, I'm dying, and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land to the land that he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
 25 And Joseph took an oath from the children of Israel, saying, "God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here."
 26 So Joseph died, being one hundred ten years old, and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.

___Exodus chapter 1
 1 Now these are the names of the children of Israel, that came into Egypt, every man and his household came with Jacob.
 2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
 3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
 4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
 5 And all the souls that came out of the body of Jacob were seventy souls, for Joseph was in Egypt already.
 6 And Joseph died, and all his brothers, and all that generation.
 7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and became very mighty, and the land was filled with them.
 8 Now there rose up a new king over Egypt, who hadn't known Joseph.
 9 And he said to his people, "See, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we,
 10 Come on, let us deal wisely with them, so that they don't multiply, and so it doesn't happen, that when a war comes along, they join with our enemies, and fight against us, and so get themselves out of the land."
 11 Therefore they set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens.  And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.
 12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew.  And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.
 13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with harshness,
 14 And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in mortar, and in brick, and in all kinds of service in the field, all their service, in which they made them serve, was with harshness.
 15 And the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah,
 16 And he said, "When you do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them on the stools, if it's a son, then kill him, but if it's a daughter, then she shall live."
 17 But the midwives feared God, and didn't do like the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.
 18 And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said to them, "Why have you done this thing, and have saved the men children alive?"
 19 And the midwives said to Pharaoh, "Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, for they are lively, and are delivered before the midwives come in to them."
 20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives, and the people multiplied, and became very strong.
 21 And because the midwives feared God, he made them houses.
 22 And Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, "Every son that is born you shall throw into the river, and every daughter you shall let live."

___Exodus chapter 2
 1 And a man of the house of Levi went and took as wife a daughter of Levi.
 2 And the woman conceived, and bore a son, and when she saw that he was a proper child, she hid him three months.
 3 And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child in it, and she laid it in the flags by the river's bank.
 4 And his sister stood afar off, to see what would be done to him.
 5 And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river, and her maids walked along by the river's side, and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.
 6 And when she had opened it, she saw the child, and, see, the baby cried.  And she had compassion on him, and said, "This is one of the Hebrews' children."
 7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, "Shall I go and call you a nurse of the Hebrew women, so she can nurse the child for you?"
 8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Go."  And the maid went and called the child's mother.
 9 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give you your wages.  And the woman took the child, and nursed it.
 10 And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son.  And she called his name Moses, and she said, "Because I took him out of the water."
 11 And in those days, when Moses had grown, he went out to his brothers, and looked at their burdens, and he spied an Egyptian striking a Hebrew, one of his brothers.
 12 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he killed the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
 13 And when he went out the second day, see, two men of the Hebrews were fighting with each other, and he said to him that did the wrong, "Why did you strike your fellow?"
 14 And he said, "Who made you a prince and a judge over us?  Do you intend to kill me, like you killed the Egyptian?"  And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.
 15 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to kill Moses.  But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and lived in the land of Midian, and he sat down by a well.
 16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
 17 And the shepherds came and drove them away, but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
 18 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, "How is it that you've come so soon today?"
 19 And they said, "An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock."
 20 And he said to his daughters, "And where is he?  Why is it that you have left the man?  Call him, so he can eat bread."
 21 And Moses was content to live with the man, and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
 22 And she bore him a son, and he called his name Gershom, for he said, "I've been a stranger in a strange land."
 23 And in process of time, the king of Egypt died, and the children of Israel sighed because of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up to God because of the bondage.
 24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
 25 And God looked at the children of Israel, and God had respect for them.

___Exodus chapter 3
 1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, to Horeb.
 2 And the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the middle of a bush, and he looked, and, see, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
 3 And Moses said, "I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt."
 4 And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the middle of the bush, and said, "Moses, Moses."  And he said, "Here I am."
 5 And he said, "Don't come near here, put off your shoes from your feet, for the place on which you stand is holy ground."
 6 Also he said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob."  And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.
 7 And the Lord said, "I've surely seen the affliction of my people that are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows,
 8 And I've come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
 9 Now therefore, see, the cry of the children of Israel has come to me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.
 10 Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, so you can bring out my people the children of Israel out of Egypt."
 11 And Moses said to God, "Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring out the children of Israel out of Egypt?"
 12 And he said, "Certainly I will be with you, and this shall be a token to you, that I have sent you, When you've brought the people out of Egypt, you'll serve God on this mountain."
 13 And Moses said to God, "See, when I come to the children of Israel, and shall say to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you, and they say to me, What is his name?  What shall I say to them?"
 14 And God said to Moses, "I am that I am," and he said, "Thus shall you say to the children of Israel, I am has sent me to you."
 15 And God said also to Moses, "Thus shall you say to the children of Israel, 'The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you, this is my name forever, and this is my memorial to all generations.'
 16 Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say to them, 'The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared to me, saying, I have surely visited you, and have seen what is done to you in Egypt,
 17 And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey.'
 18 And they shall listen to your voice, and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you shall say to him, 'The Lord God of the Hebrews has met with us, and now let us go, please, three days' journey into the wilderness, so we can sacrifice to the Lord our God.'
 19 And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand.
 20 And I will stretch out my hand, and strike Egypt with all my wonders that I'll do among them, and after that he'll let you go.
 21 And I will give these people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, and when you go, you won't go empty,
 22 But every woman shall borrow of her neighbor, and of her that is visiting in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing, and you'll put them on your sons, and on your daughters, and you'll spoil the Egyptians."

___Exodus chapter 4
 1 And Moses answered and said, "But, see, they won't believe me, nor listen to my voice, for they'll say, the Lord hasn't appeared to you."
 2 And the Lord said to him, "What is that in your hand?"  And he said, "A rod."
 3 And he said, "Throw it on the ground."  And he threw it on the ground, and it became a snake, and Moses ran from it.
 4 And the Lord said to Moses, "Put out your hand, and take it by the tail."  And he put out his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand,
 5 "So that they'll believe that the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you."
 6 And the Lord said furthermore to him, "Now put your hand into your bosom."  And he put his hand into his bosom, and when he took it out, see, his hand was leprous like snow.
 7 And he said, "Put your hand back into your bosom."  And he put his hand back into his bosom, and pulled it out of his bosom, and, see, it had returned like his other flesh.
 8 "And if they won't believe you, nor listen to the voice of the first sign, they'll believe the voice of the other sign.
 9 And if they won't believe those two signs, nor listen to your voice, you shall take of the water from the river, and pour it on the dry land, and the water that you take out of the river shall become blood on the dry land."
 10 And Moses said to the Lord, "O my Lord, I'm not a good speaker, neither until now, nor since you've spoken to your servant, but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue."
 11 And the Lord said to him, "Who made man's mouth?  Or who makes those who can't speak, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind?  Haven't I, the Lord?
 12 Now therefore go, and I'll be with your mouth, and teach you what you shall say."
 13 And he said, "O my Lord, please send, by the hand of him whom you'll send."
 14 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses, and he said, "Isn't Aaron the Levite your brother?  I know that he can speak well.  And also, see, he's coming out to meet you, and when he sees you, he'll be glad in his heart.
 15 And you'll speak to him, and put words in his mouth, and I'll be with your mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what you shall do.
 16 And he shall be your spokesman to the people, and he shall be, even he shall be to you instead of a mouth, and you shall be to him instead of God.
 17 And you shall take this rod in your hand, with which you shall do signs."
 18 And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father in law, and said to him, "Let me go, please, and return to my brothers that are in Egypt, and see whether they are still alive."  And Jethro said to Moses, "Go in peace."
 19 And the Lord said to Moses in Midian, "Go, return into Egypt, for all the men are dead who wanted you dead."
 20 And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them on an donkey, and he returned to the land of Egypt, and Moses took the rod of God in his hand.
 21 And the Lord said to Moses, "When you go to return into Egypt, see that you do all those wonders before Pharaoh, that I've put in your hand, but I will harden his heart, so he won't let the people go.
 22 And you shall say to Pharaoh, 'Thus says the Lord, Israel is my son, my firstborn,
 23 And I say to you, Let my son go, so he can serve me, and if you refuse to let him go, see, I'll kill your son, your firstborn.' "
 24 And on the way in the hotel, the Lord met him, and tried to kill him.
 25 Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and threw it at his feet, and said, "Surely you're a bloody husband to me."
 26 So he let him go, then she said, "You're a bloody husband, because of the circumcision."
 27 And the Lord said to Aaron, "Go into the wilderness to meet Moses."  And he went, and met him in the mountain of God, and kissed him.
 28 And Moses told Aaron all the words of the Lord who had sent him, and all the signs that he had commanded him.
 29 And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel,
 30 And Aaron spoke all the words that the Lord had spoken to Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.
 31 And the people believed, and when they heard that the Lord had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked at their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.

___Exodus chapter 5
 1 And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, "Thus says the Lord God of Israel, Let my people go, so they can hold a feast to me in the wilderness."
 2 And Pharaoh said, "Who is the Lord, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go?  I don't know the Lord, nor will I let Israel go."
 3 And they said, "The God of the Hebrews has met with us, let us go, please, three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice to the Lord our God, so he won't fall on us with pestilence, or with the sword."
 4 And the king of Egypt said to them, "Why do you, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their works?  Get you to your burdens."
 5 And Pharaoh said, "Behold, the people of the land now are many, and you make them rest from their burdens."
 6 And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,
 7 "You shall no longer give the people straw to make brick, like before, let them go and gather straw for themselves.
 8 And the tale of the bricks, that they made before, you shall require from them, you shall not diminish any of it, for they are idle, therefore they shout, 'Let us go and sacrifice to our God.'
 9 Lay more work on the men, so they will labor in it, and let them not regard vain words."
 10 And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, "Thus says Pharaoh, I won't give you straw.
 11 Go get yourselves straw where you can find it, yet not any of your work shall be diminished."
 12 So the people were scattered around throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.
 13 And the taskmasters hurried them, saying, "Fulfill your works, your daily tasks, like when there was straw."
 14 And the officers of the children of Israel, that Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded of, "Why haven't you fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and today, like before?"
 15 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and shouted to Pharaoh, saying, "Why do you deal this way with your servants?
 16 No straw has been given to your servants, and they say to us, 'Make brick,' and, see, your servants were beaten, but the fault is in your own people."
 17 But he said, "You are idle, you are idle, that's why you say, 'Let us go and do sacrifice to the Lord.'
 18 Therefore go now, and work, for no straw shall be given to you, yet you shall deliver the number of bricks."
 19 And the officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in an bad situation, after it was said, "You shall not diminish any from the bricks of your daily task."
 20 And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came out from Pharaoh,
 21 And they said to them, "The Lord look on you, and judge, because you've made us to be hated in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to kill us."
 22 And Moses returned to the Lord, and said, "Lord, why have you treated these people so badly?  Why is it that you've sent me?
 23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has done evil to these people, nor have you delivered your people at all."

___Exodus chapter 6
 1 Then the Lord said to Moses, "Now you'll see what I'll do to Pharaoh, for with a strong hand he'll let them go, and with a strong hand he'll drive them out of his land."
 2 And God spoke to Moses, and said to him, "I am the Lord,
 3 And I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name Jehovah I wasn't known to them.
 4 And I've also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, in which they were strangers.
 5 And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered my covenant.
 6 So say to the children of Israel, I am the Lord, and I'll bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I'll rid you out of their bondage, and I'll redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments,
 7 And I'll take you to myself for a people, and I'll be to you a God, and you'll know that I'm the Lord your God, who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
 8 And I'll bring you into the land, concerning which I swore to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, and I'll give it you for a heritage, I am the Lord."
 9 And Moses told these things to the children of Israel, but they didn't listen to Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.
 10 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
 11 "Go in, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to let the children of Israel go out of his land."
 12 And Moses spoke before the Lord, saying, "See, the children of Israel haven't listened to me, how then shall Pharaoh listen me, who am of uncircumcised lips?"
 13 And the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, and gave them a charge to the children of Israel, and to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
 14 These are the heads of their fathers' houses, The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi, these are the families of Reuben.
 15 And the sons of Simeon, Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman, these are the families of Simeon.
 16 And these are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations, Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari, and the years of the life of Levi were one hundred thirty seven years.
 17 The sons of Gershon, Libni, and Shimi, according to their families.
 18 And the sons of Kohath, Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel, and the years of the life of Kohath were one hundred thirty three years.
 19 And the sons of Merari, Mahali and Mushi, these are the families of Levi according to their generations.
 20 And Amram took Jochebed his father's sister as wife, and she bore him Aaron and Moses, and the years of the life of Amram were one hundred thirty seven years.
 21 And the sons of Izhar, Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri.
 22 And the sons of Uzziel, Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Zithri.
 23 And Aaron took Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Naashon, as wife, and she bore him Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
 24 And the sons of Korah, Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph, these are the families of the Korhites.
 25 And Eleazar Aaron's son took one of the daughters of Putiel as wife, and she bore him Phinehas, these are the heads of the fathers of the Levites according to their families.
 26 These are that Aaron and Moses, to whom the Lord said, Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies.
 27 These are those who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt, these are that Moses and Aaron.
 28 And on the day when the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt,
 29 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, "I am the Lord, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say to you."
 30 And Moses said before the Lord, "See, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh listen to me?"

___Exodus chapter 7
 1 And the Lord said to Moses, "See, I have made you a god to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.
 2 You shall speak all that I command you, and Aaron your brother shall speak to Pharaoh, to send the children of Israel out of his land.
 3 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
 4 But Pharaoh won't listen to you, so I can lay my hand on Egypt, and bring out my armies, and my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
 5 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch out my hand on Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them."
 6 And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded them, they did so.
 7 And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
 8 And the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
 9 "When Pharaoh shall speak to you, saying, Show me a miracle, then you shall say to Aaron, Take your rod, and throw it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a snake."
 10 And Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did what the Lord had commanded, and Aaron threw down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a snake.
 11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and those who practiced witchcraft, now the magicians of Egypt, they also did likewise with their enchantments.
 12 For each man threw down his rod, and they became snakes, but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
 13 And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he didn't listen to them, as the Lord had said.
 14 And the Lord said to Moses, "Pharaoh's heart is hardened, he refuses to let the people go.
 15 Get you to Pharaoh in the morning, see, he goes out to the water, and you shall stand by the river's bank waiting for him, and you shall take in your hand the rod that turned into a snake.
 16 And you shall say to him, the Lord God of the Hebrews has sent me to you, saying, Let my people go, so they can serve me in the wilderness, and, see, until now you wouldn't listen.
 17 Thus says the Lord, In this you'll know that I am the Lord, see, I'll strike with the rod that is in my hand on the waters that are in the river, and they'll be turned into blood.
 18 And the fish that are in the river shall die, and the river shall stink, and the Egyptians shall hate to drink of the water of the river."
 19 And the Lord spoke to Moses, "Say to Aaron, take your rod, and stretch out your hand on the waters of Egypt, on their streams, on their rivers, and on their ponds, and on all their pools of water, so they'll become blood, and so there'll be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in containers of wood, and in containers of stone."
 20 And Moses and Aaron did so, as the Lord commanded, and he lifted up the rod, and struck the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants, and all the waters that were in the river were turned into blood.
 21 And the fish that were in the river died, and the river stank, and the Egyptians couldn't drink of the water of the river, and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.
 22 And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments, and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, neither did he listen to them, as the Lord had said.
 23 And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, nor did he set his heart on this either.
 24 And all the Egyptians dug around the river for water to drink, for they couldn't drink of the water of the river.
 25 And seven days were fulfilled, after the Lord had struck the river.

___Exodus chapter 8
 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh, and say to him, thus says the Lord, Let my people go, so they can serve me.
 2 And if you refuse to let them go, see, I'll strike all your borders with frogs,
 3 And the river shall produce frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into your house, and into your bedroom, and on your bed, and into the house of your servants, and on your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading troughs,
 4 And the frogs shall come up on you, and on your people, and on all your servants."
 5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, "Say to Aaron, Stretch out your hand with your rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt."
 6 And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
 7 And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt.
 8 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, "Intreat the Lord, so he'll take away the frogs from me, and from my people, and I'll let the people go, so they can do sacrifice to the Lord."
 9 And Moses said to Pharaoh, "Glory over me, when shall I intreat for you, and for your servants, and for your people, to destroy the frogs from you and your houses, so they'll remain in the river only?"
 10 And he said, "Tomorrow."  And he said, "Be it according to your word, so that you'll know that there is no one like the Lord our God.
 11 And the frogs shall depart from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people, they'll remain in the river only."
 12 And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses called to the Lord because of the frogs that he'd brought against Pharaoh.
 13 And the Lord did according to the word of Moses, and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields.
 14 And they gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank.
 15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he hardened his heart, and wouldn't listen to them, as the Lord had said.
 16 And the Lord said to Moses, "Say to Aaron, Stretch out your rod, and strike the dust of the land, so that it will become lice throughout all the land of Egypt."
 17 And they did so, for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and struck the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast, all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
 18 And the magicians did likewise with their enchantments to produce lice, but they couldn't, so there were lice on man, and on beast.
 19 Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, "This is the finger of God," and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he didn't listen to them, as the Lord had said.
 20 And the Lord said to Moses, "Get up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, see, he comes out to the water, and say to him, thus says the Lord, Let my people go, so they can serve me.
 21 Otherwise, if you won't let my people go, see, I'll send swarms of flies on you, and on your servants, and on your people, and into your houses, and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground on which they are.
 22 And I will separate on that day the land of Goshen, where my people live, so that no swarms of flies shall be there, so that you'll know that I am the Lord on the earth.
 23 And I will put a division between my people and your people, tomorrow shall this sign be."
 24 And the Lord did so, and a grievous swarm of flies came into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses, and into all the land of Egypt, the land was ruined because of the swarm of flies.
 25 And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, "Go sacrifice to your God in the land."
 26 And Moses said, "It's not right to do so, for we'll sacrifice what the Egyptians hate to the Lord our God, see, shall we sacrifice what the Egyptians hate before their eyes, and won't they stone us?
 27 We'll go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the Lord our God, as he shall command us."
 28 And Pharaoh said, "I will let you go, so you can sacrifice to the Lord your God in the wilderness, only you shall not go very far away, intreat for me."
 29 And Moses said, "See, I go out from you, and I'll intreat the Lord that the swarms of flies will depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow, but let Pharaoh not deal deceitfully anymore in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the Lord."
 30 And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the Lord.
 31 And the Lord did according to the word of Moses, and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, there remained not one.
 32 And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, nor would he let the people go.

___Exodus chapter 9
 1 Then the Lord said to Moses, "Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews, let my people go, so they can serve me.
 2 For if you refuse to let them go, and will hold them still,
 3 See, the hand of the Lord is on your cattle that are in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the oxen, and on the sheep, there shall be a very grievous cattle disease.
 4 And the Lord shall separate between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt, and there shall nothing die of all that is the children's of Israel."
 5 And the Lord appointed a set time, saying, "Tomorrow the Lord shall do this thing in the land."
 6 And the Lord did that thing on the next day, and all the cattle of Egypt died, but of the cattle of the children of Israel not one died.
 7 And Pharaoh sent, and, see, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead.  And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
 8 And the Lord said to Moses and to Aaron, "Take handfuls of ashes from the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.
 9 And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking out with sores on man, and on beast, throughout all the land of Egypt."
 10 And they took ashes from the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh, and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven, and it became a boil breaking forth with sores on man, and on beast.
 11 And the magicians couldn't stand before Moses because of the boils, for the boil was on the magicians, and on all the Egyptians.
 12 And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he didn't listen to them, as the Lord had said to Moses.
 13 And the Lord said to Moses, "Get up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say to him, thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, so they can serve me.
 14 For I will at this time send all my plagues on your heart, and on your servants, and on your people, so that you'll know that there is none like me in all the earth.
 15 For now I will stretch out my hand, so I can strike you and your people with pestilence, and you'll be cut off from the earth.
 16 And as a matter of fact, for this reason I've raised you up, for to show in you my power, and so my name will be declared throughout all the earth.
 17 As yet do you exalt yourself against my people, so that you won't let them go?
 18 See, tomorrow about this time I'll cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hasn't been in Egypt since the foundation of it until now.
 19 Therefore send now, and gather your cattle, and all that you have in the field, for on every man and beast that shall be found in the field, and isn't brought home, the hail shall come down on them, and they'll die."
 20 He that feared the word of the Lord among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses,
 21 And he that didn't regard the word of the Lord left his servants and his cattle in the field.
 22 And the Lord said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward heaven, so that there will be hail in all the land of Egypt, on man, and on beast, and on every plant in the field, throughout the land of Egypt."
 23 And Moses stretched out his rod toward heaven, and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along on the ground, and the Lord rained hail on the land of Egypt.
 24 So there was hail, and fire mixed with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
 25 And the hail struck throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast, and the hail struck every plant of the field, and broke every tree of the field.
 26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no hail.
 27 And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, "I have sinned this time, the Lord is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
 28 Intreat the Lord (for it is enough) so that there are no more mighty thunderings and hail, and I will let you go, and you'll stay no longer."
 29 And Moses said to him, "As soon as I've gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands to the Lord, and the thunder shall stop, neither shall there be anymore hail, so that you'll know that the earth is the Lord's.
 30 But as for you and your servants, I know that you'll not yet fear the Lord God."
 31 And the flax and the barley was struck, for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled.
 32 But the wheat and the rye were not struck, for they were not grown up.
 33 And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread out his hands to the Lord, and the thunders and hail stopped, and the rain was not poured on the earth.
 34 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders had stopped, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
 35 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go, 
as the Lord had spoken by Moses.

___Exodus chapter 10
 1 And the Lord said to Moses, "Go in to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, so I can show my signs before him,
 2 And so that you'll tell in the ears of your son, and of your son's son, what things I've done in Egypt, and my signs that I've done among them, so that you'll know that I'm the Lord."
 3 And Moses and Aaron came in to Pharaoh, and said to him, "Thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews, how long will you refuse to humble yourself before me?  Let my people go, so they can serve me.
 4 Otherwise, if you refuse to let my people go, see, tomorrow I'll bring the locusts into your coast,
 5 And they'll cover the face of the earth, so no one can see the earth, and they shall eat what remains to you from the hail, and shall eat every tree that grows for you out of the field,
 6 And they shall fill your houses, and the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians, that neither your fathers, nor your fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were on the earth to this day.  And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh."
 7 And Pharaoh's servants said to him, "How long shall this man be a snare to us?  Let the men go, so they can serve the Lord their God, don't you yet know that Egypt has been destroyed?"
 8 And Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh, and he said to them, "Go, serve the Lord your God, but who are they that shall go?"
 9 And Moses said, "We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go, for we must hold a feast to the Lord."
 10 And he said to them, "Let the Lord be so with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones, look to it, for evil is before you.
 11 Not so, go now you that are men, and serve the Lord, since you desired it."  And they were forced out from Pharaoh's presence.
 12 And the Lord said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, so they'll come up on the land of Egypt, and eat every plant of the land, everything that the hail has left."
 13 And Moses stretched out his rod over the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought an east wind on the land all that day, and all that night, and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
 14 And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the coasts of Egypt, they were very grievous, before them there were no such locusts, nor after them shall be such.
 15 For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened, and they ate every plant of the land, and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left, and not any green thing remained in the trees, or in the plants of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
 16 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron hurriedly, and he said, "I have sinned against the Lord your God, and against you.
 17 Now therefore please forgive my sin only this once, and intreat the Lord your God, so that he'll take away from me this death only."
 18 And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the Lord.
 19 And the Lord turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts, and threw them into the Red sea, not one locust remained in all the coasts of Egypt.
 20 But the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he wouldn't let the children of Israel go.
 21 And the Lord said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward heaven, so that there will be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness that will be felt."
 22 And Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days,
 23 They didn't see each other, nor did anyone rise from his place for three days, but all the children of Israel had light in their dwelling places.
 24 And Pharaoh called to Moses, and said, "Go serve the Lord, only let your flocks and your herds remain, let your little ones also go with you."
 25 And Moses said, "You must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, so that we can sacrifice to the Lord our God.
 26 Our cattle also shall go with us, there shall not a hoof be left behind, for we must take from them to serve the Lord our God, and we don't know with what we must serve the Lord, until we come there."
 27 But the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go.
 28 And Pharaoh said to him, "Get away from me, take heed to yourself, see my face no more, for on that day you see my face you'll die."
 29 And Moses said, you've spoken well, "I will see your face again no more."

___Exodus chapter 11
 1 And the Lord said to Moses, "Yet I will bring one more plague on Pharaoh, and on Egypt, afterward he will let you go from here, when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out from here completely.
 2 Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man borrow from his neighbor, and every woman from her neighbor, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold."
 3 And the Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians.  Also the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants, and in the sight of the people.
 4 And Moses said, "Thus says the Lord, About midnight I'll go through Egypt,
 5 And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sits on his throne, to the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill, and all the firstborn of beasts.
 6 And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it anymore.
 7 But against any of the children of Israel not a dog shall move its tongue, against man or beast, so that you'll know that the Lord puts a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.
 8 And all these your servants shall come down to me, and bow down themselves to me, saying, Get out, and all the people that follow you, and after that I'll go out."  And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger.
 9 And the Lord said to Moses, "Pharaoh won't listen to you, so that my wonders will be multiplied in the land of Egypt."
 10 And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh, and the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he wouldn't let the children of Israel go out of his land.

___Exodus chapter 12
 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
 2 "This month shall be to you the beginning of months, it shall be the first month of the year to you.
 3 Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month each man shall take to himself a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for a household,
 4 And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the souls, every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
 5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year, you shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats,
 6 And you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month, and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.
 7 And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, in which they shall eat it.
 8 And they shall eat the flesh on that night, roasted with fire, and unleavened bread, and they shall eat it with bitter herbs.
 9 Don't eat it raw, nor soaked in water, but roasted with fire, his head with his legs, and with what pertains to it.
 10 And you shall let nothing of it remain until the morning, and that which remains of it until the morning you shall burn with fire.
 11 And thus shall you eat it, with your midsections clothed, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand, and you shall eat it in haste, it is the Lord's Passover.
 12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast, and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment, I am the Lord.
 13 And the blood shall be to you a token on the houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
 14 And this day shall be to you for a memorial, and you shall keep it as a feast to the Lord throughout your generations, you shall keep it as a feast by an ordinance forever.
 15 Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread, the first day you shall put away yeast out of your houses, for whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
 16 And on the first day there shall be a holy convocation, and on the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation to you, no kind of work shall be done in them, except that which every man needs to eat, that only may be done by you.
 17 And you shall observe the feast of unleavened bread, for in this same day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt, therefore you shall observe this day in your generations by an ordinance forever.
 18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty first day of the month at evening.
 19 Seven days shall no leaven be found in your houses, for whoever eats that which is leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a stranger, or born in the land.
 20 You shall eat nothing leavened, in all your dwelling places shall you eat unleavened bread.
 21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said to them, Draw out and take yourselves a lamb according to your families, and kill the Passover.
 22 And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the horizontal beam above the door and the two side posts with the blood that is in the basin, and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.
 23 For the Lord will pass through to strike the Egyptians, and when he sees the blood on the horizontal beam above the door, and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not allow the destroyer to come in to your houses to strike you.
 24 And you shall observe this thing for an ordinance to you and to your sons forever.
 25 And when you've come to the land that the Lord will give you, as he has promised, you shall keep this service.
 26 And when your children say to you, What do you mean by this service?
 27 You shall say, It is the sacrifice of the Lord's Passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians, and delivered our houses."  And the people bowed the head and worshipped.
 28 And the children of Israel went away, and did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, they did so.
 29 And at midnight the Lord struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of cattle.
 30 And Pharaoh got up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians, and there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
 31 And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, "Rise up, and get out from among my people, both you and the children of Israel, and go, serve the Lord, as you have said.
 32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone, and bless me also."
 33 And the Egyptians were urgent on the people, so they could send them out of the land in haste, for they said, "We're all dead men."
 34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes on their shoulders.
 35 And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses, and they borrowed from the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothes,
 36 And the Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent to them such things as they required.  And they spoiled the Egyptians.
 37 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.
 38 And a mixed multitude went up also with them, and flocks, and herds, very much cattle.
 39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough that they brought out of Egypt, for it was not leavened, because they were pushed out of Egypt, and couldn't wait, nor had they prepared for themselves any food.
 40 Now the temporary stay of the children of Israel, who lived in Egypt, was four hundred thirty years.
 41 And at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, the same day, all the hosts of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt.
 42 It is a night to be much observed to the Lord for bringing them out from the land of Egypt, this is that night of the Lord to be observed by all the children of Israel in their generations.
 43 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, "This is the ordinance of the Passover, no stranger shall eat of it,
 44 But every man's servant that is bought for money, when you've circumcised him, then he shall eat of it.
 45 A foreigner and a hired servant shall not eat of it.
 46 In one house shall it be eaten, you shall not carry out any of the flesh out of the house, nor shall you break a bone of it.
 47 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
 48 And when a stranger shall visit with you, and will keep the Passover to the Lord, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it, and he shall be like one that is born in the land, for no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.
 49 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and to the stranger that visits among you."
 50 Thus did all the children of Israel, as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.
 51 And the same day, the Lord brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.

___Exodus chapter 13
 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
 2 "Make holy to me all the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast, it is mine."
 3 And Moses said to the people, "Remember this day, in which you came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage, for by strength of hand the Lord brought you out from this place, there shall no leavened bread be eaten.
 4 This day you came out in the month Abib.
 5 And it shall be when the Lord shall bring you into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you shall keep this service in this month.
 6 Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the Lord.
 7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days, and there shall no leavened bread be seen with you, neither shall there be leaven seen with you in all your quarters.
 8 And you shall show your son in that day, saying, 'This is done because of that which the Lord did to me when I came out of Egypt.'
 9 And it shall be for a sign to you on your hand, and for a memorial between your eyes, so that the Lord's law will be in your mouth, for with a strong hand has the Lord brought you out of Egypt.
 10 You shall therefore keep this ordinance in its season from year to year.
 11 And it shall be when the Lord shall bring you into the land of the Canaanites, as he swore to you and to your fathers, and shall give it to you,
 12 That you shall set apart to the Lord all that open the matrix, and every firstling that comes from an animal that you have, the males shall be the Lord's.
 13 And every firstling of an donkey you shall redeem with a lamb, and if you won't redeem it, then you shall break its neck, and all the firstborn of man among your children you shall redeem.
 14 And it shall be when your son asks you in time to come, saying, What is this?  That you shall say to him, 'By strength of hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, from the house of bondage,
 15 And when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, the Lord killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast, therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all that open the matrix, being males, but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.'
 16 And it shall be for a token on your hand, and for frontlets between your eyes, for by strength of hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt."
 17 And when Pharaoh had let the people go, God didn't lead them through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near, for God said, "So that the people won't repent when they see war, and return to Egypt,"
 18 But God led the people around, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea, and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.
 19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for he had strictly sworn the children of Israel, saying, "God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones away from here with you."
 20 And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
 21 And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way, and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light, to go by day and night,
 22 He didn't take away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.

___Exodus chapter 14
 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
 2 "Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, opposite Baalzephon, before it you shall encamp by the sea.
 3 For Pharaoh will say about the children of Israel, 'They are entangled in the land, the wilderness has shut them in.'
 4 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after them, and I will be honored on Pharaoh, and on all his host, so that the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord."  And they did so.
 5 And the king of Egypt was told that the people fled, and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, "Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?"
 6 And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him,
 7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
 8 And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel, and the children of Israel went out with a high hand.
 9 But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.
 10 And when Pharaoh came near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, see, the Egyptians marched after them, and they were very afraid, and the children of Israel shouted to the Lord.
 11 And they said to Moses, "Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness?  Why have you dealt thus with us, to carry us out of Egypt?
 12 Is not this the word that we told you in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, so we can serve the Egyptians?  For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness."
 13 And Moses said to the people, "Don't be afraid, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, that he will show to you today, for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you'll see them no more forever.
 14 The Lord shall fight for you, and you shall be quiet."
 15 And the Lord said to Moses, "Why do you shout to me?  Speak to the children of Israel, that they go forward,
 16 But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea, and divide it, and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the middle of the sea.
 17 And I, see, I'll harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they'll follow them, and I will get myself honor on Pharaoh, and on all his host, on his chariots, and on his horsemen.
 18 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I've gotten myself honor on Pharaoh, on his chariots, and on his horsemen."
 19 And the angel of God, that went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them, and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them,
 20 And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel, and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these, so that the one didn't come  near the other all night.
 21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
 22 And the children of Israel went into the middle of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.
 23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the middle of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
 24 And in the morning watch the Lord looked to the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,
 25 And took off their chariot wheels, so that they drove them heavily, so that the Egyptians said, "Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians."
 26 And the Lord said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the sea, so that the waters will come again on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen."
 27 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared, and the Egyptians fled against it, and the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the middle of the sea.
 28 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them, there remained not one of them.
 29 But the children of Israel walked on dry land in the middle of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.
 30 Thus the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the sea shore.
 31 And Israel saw that great work that the Lord did on the Egyptians, and the people feared the Lord, and believed the Lord, and his servant Moses.

___Exodus chapter 15
 1 Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and spoke, saying, "I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously, the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.
 2 The Lord is my strength and song, and he has become my salvation, he is my God, and I will prepare him a habitation, my father's God, and I will exalt him.
 3 The Lord is a man of war, the Lord is his name.
 4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host he has thrown into the sea, his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
 5 The depths have covered them, they sank into the bottom as a stone.
 6 Your right hand, O Lord, has become glorious in power, your right hand, O Lord, has dashed in pieces the enemy.
 7 And in the greatness of your excellency you've overthrown those who rose up against you, you sent out your anger, which consumed them as stubble.
 8 And with the blast of your nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright like a heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
 9 The enemy said, 'I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil, my lust shall be satisfied on them, I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.'
 10 You blew with your wind, the sea covered them, they sank like lead in the mighty waters.
 11 Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods?  Who is like you, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
 12 You stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed them.
 13 You in your mercy have led out the people that you've redeemed, you've guided them in your strength to your holy habitation.
 14 The people shall hear, and be afraid, sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestine.
 15 Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed, the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold of them, all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.
 16 Fear and dread shall fall on them, by the greatness of your arm they'll be as still as a stone, 'til your people pass over, O Lord, 'til the people pass over, that you've purchased.
 17 You'll bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, in the place, O Lord, that you've made for yourself to live in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, that your hands have established.
 18 The Lord shall reign forever and always.
 19 For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the Lord brought again the waters of the sea on them, but the children of Israel went on dry land in the middle of the sea."
 20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
 21 And Miriam answered them, "Sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously, the horse and his rider has he thrown into the sea."
 22 So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur, and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.
 23 And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter, therefore the name of it was called Marah.
 24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, "What shall we drink?"
 25 And he shouted to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a tree, which when he had thrown into the waters, the waters were made sweet, there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he tested them,
 26 And said, "If you'll diligently listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and will do that which is right in his sight, and will give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I'll put none of these diseases on you, which I have brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord that heals you."
 27 And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and seventy palm trees, and they encamped there by the waters.

___Exodus chapter 16
 1 And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.
 2 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness,
 3 And the children of Israel said to them, "Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we ate bread to the full, for you've brought us out into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger."
 4 Then the said Lord to Moses, "See, I'll rain bread from heaven for you, and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, so I can test them, whether they'll walk in my law, or not.
 5 And it on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily."
 6 And Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, "At evening, then you'll know that the Lord has brought you out from the land of Egypt,
 7 And in the morning, then you shall see the glory of the Lord, because he hears your murmurings against the Lord, and what are we, that you murmur against us?"
 8 And Moses said, "This shall be, when the Lord shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full, because the Lord hears your murmurings that you murmur against him, and what are we?  Your murmurings are not against us, but against the Lord."
 9 And Moses spoke to Aaron, "Say to all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the Lord, for he has heard your murmurings."
 10 And as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, they looked toward the wilderness, and, see, the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud.
 11 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
 12 "I've heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, speak to them, saying, In the evening you shall eat flesh, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread, and you shall know that I am the Lord your God."
 13 And in the evening even the quails came up, and covered the camp, and in the morning the dew lay around the people.
 14 And when the dew that lay had gone up, see, on the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground.
 15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said to each other, "It is manna," for they didn't know what it was.  And Moses said to them, "This is the bread that the Lord has given you to eat.
 16 This is the thing that the Lord has commanded, gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons, take every man for those who are in his tents."
 17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.
 18 And when they measured it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack, they gathered every man according to his eating.
 19 And Moses said, "Let no man leave of it 'til the morning."
 20 But they didn't listen to Moses, but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank, and Moses was angry with them.
 21 And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating, and when the sun got hot, it melted.
 22 And on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each man, and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.
 23 And he said to them, "This is what the Lord has said, tomorrow is the rest of the holy Sabbath to the Lord, bake that which you will bake to day, and seethe what you will seethe, and that which remains, lay up for yourselves to be kept until the morning."
 24 And they laid it up 'til the morning, as Moses said to do, and it didn't stink, nor was there any worm in it.
 25 And Moses said, "Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to the Lord, today you won't find it in the field.
 26 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, which is the Sabbath, in it there shall be none."
 27 And some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, and they found none.
 28 And the Lord said to Moses, "How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?
 29 See, because the Lord has given you the Sabbath, therefore he gives you on the sixth day the bread of two days, stay every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day."
 30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
 31 And the house of Israel called the name of it Manna, and it was like coriander seed, white, and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.
 32 And Moses said, "This is the thing that the Lord commands, fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations, so they can see the bread with which I've fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out from the land of Egypt."
 33 And Moses said to Aaron, "Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna in it, and lay it up before the Lord, to be kept for your generations."
 34 As the Lord commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
 35 And the children of Israel ate manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited, they ate manna, until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.
 36 Now an omer is one tenth of an ephah.

___Exodus chapter 17
 1 And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the Lord, and pitched in Rephidim, and there was no water for the people to drink.
 2 So the people chided with Moses, and said, "Give us water so we can drink.  And Moses said to them, Why do you chide with me?  Why do you tempt the Lord?"
 3 And the people thirsted there for water, and the people murmured against Moses, and said, "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?"
 4 And Moses shouted to the Lord, saying, "What shall I do to these people?  They are almost ready to stone me."
 5 And the Lord said to Moses, "Go on before the people, and take with you some of the elders of Israel, and your rod, with which you struck the river, take in your hand, and go.
 6 See, I'll stand before you there on the rock in Horeb, and you'll strike the rock, and water will come out of it, so the people can drink."  And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
 7 And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord, saying, "Is the Lord among us, or not?"
 8 Then Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
 9 And Moses said to Joshua, "Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek, tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand."
 10 So Joshua did what Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek, and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
 11 And when Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed, and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
 12 But Moses' hands were heavy, and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat on it, and Aaron and Hur held up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side, and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
 13 And Joshua slaughtered Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
 14 And the Lord said to Moses, "Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua, for I will completely put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven."
 15 And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi,
 16 For he said, "Because the Lord has sworn that the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation."

___Exodus chapter 18
 1 When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father in law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, and that the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt,
 2 Then Jethro, Moses' father in law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her back,
 3 And her two sons, of which the name of one was Gershom, for he said, "I have been an alien in a strange land,"
 4 And the name of the other was Eliezer, "For the God of my father," said he, "was my help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh,"
 5 And Jethro, Moses' father in law, came with his sons and his wife to Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at the mountain of God,
 6 And he said to Moses, "I, your father in law Jethro, have come to you, and your wife, and her two sons with her."
 7 And Moses went out to meet his father in law, and bowed, and kissed him, and they asked each other about their welfare, and they came into the tent.
 8 And Moses told his father in law all that the Lord had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, and all the travail that had come on them by the way, and how the Lord delivered them.
 9 And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness that the Lord had done to Israel, whom he had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians.
 10 And Jethro said, "Blessed be the Lord, who has delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.
 11 Now I know that the Lord is greater than all gods, for in the thing in which they dealt proudly he was above them."
 12 And Jethro, Moses' father in law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God, and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses' father in law before God.
 13 And on the next day, Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood by Moses from the morning to the evening.
 14 And when Moses' father in law saw all that he did to the people, he said, "What is this thing that you do to the people?  Why do you sit alone, and all the people stand by you from morning to evening?"
 15 And Moses said to his father in law, "Because the people come to me to inquire of God,
 16 When they have a matter, they come to me, and I judge between them, and I do tell them the statutes of God, and his laws."
 17 And Moses' father in law said to him, "The thing that you do is not good.
 18 You'll surely wear away, both you, and these people that are with you, for this thing is too heavy for you, you're not able to perform it yourself alone.
 19 Listen now to my voice, I'll give you advice, and God shall be with you, you be for the people toward God, so that you'll bring the causes to God,
 20 And you shall teach them ordinances and laws, and shall show them the way in which they must walk, and the work that they must do.
 21 Also you shall provide out of all the people able men, that fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness, and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens,
 22 And let them judge the people at all seasons, and it shall be, that every important matter they shall bring to you, but every small matter they shall judge, so it shall be easier for yourself, and they shall bear the burden with you.
 23 If you'll do this thing, and God command you so, then you'll be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in peace."
 24 So Moses listened to the voice of his father in law, and did all that he had said.
 25 And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.
 26 And they judged the people at all seasons, the hard causes they brought to Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.
 27 And Moses let his father in law depart, and he went his way into his own land.

___Exodus chapter 19
 1 In the third month, after the children of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, the same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai.
 2 For they had departed from Rephidim, and had come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness, and there Israel camped before the mountain.
 3 And Moses went up to God, and the Lord called to him out of the mountain, saying, "Thus shall you say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel,
 4 You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I carried you on eagles' wings, and brought you to myself.
 5 Now therefore, if you'll obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then you shall be a peculiar treasure to me above all people, for all the earth is mine,
 6 And you shall be to me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation.  These are the words that you shall speak to the children of Israel."
 7 And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words that the Lord commanded him.
 8 And all the people answered together, and said, "All that the Lord has spoken we will do."  And Moses returned the words of the people to the Lord.
 9 And the Lord said to Moses, "See, I come to you in a thick cloud, so that the people will hear when I speak with you, and believe you forever."  And Moses told the words of the people to the Lord.
 10 And the Lord said to Moses, "Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes,
 11 And be ready for the third day, for the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people on mount Sinai.
 12 And you shall set bounds around it for the people, saying, Take heed to yourselves, so that you don't go up into the mountain, or touch the border of it, whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death,
 13 There shall not a hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through, whether it's animal or man, it shall not live, when the trumpet sounds long, they shall come up to the mountain."
 14 And Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and sanctified the people, and they washed their clothes.
 15 And he said to the people, "Be ready for the third day, abstain from sex."
 16 And on the third day in the morning, there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain, and the voice of the trumpet very loud, so that all the people that were in the camp trembled.
 17 And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the lower part of the mount.
 18 And mount Sinai was completely smoking, because the Lord descended on it in fire, and the smoke of it ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly.
 19 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and became louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.
 20 And the Lord came down on mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain, and the Lord called Moses up to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
 21 And the Lord said to Moses, "Go down, charge the people, so they won't break through to the Lord to gaze, and many of them die.
 22 And let the priests also, who come near to the Lord, sanctify themselves, so the Lord won't hurt them."
 23 And Moses said to the Lord, "The people can't come up to mount Sinai, for you charged us, saying, Set bounds around the mount, and sanctify it."
 24 And the Lord said to him, "Away, get down, and you shall come up, you, and Aaron with you, but don't let the priests and the people break through to come up to the Lord, so he won't hurt them."
 25 So Moses went down to the people, and spoke to them.

___Exodus chapter 20
 1 And God spoke all these words, saying,
 2 "I am the Lord your God, who has brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
 3 You shall have no other gods before me.
 4 You shall not make for yourselves any engraved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth,
 5 You shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the sins of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,
 6 And showing mercy to thousands of those who love me, and keep my commandments.
 7 You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord won't  hold him guiltless that takes his name in vain.
 8 Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
 9 Six days shall you labor, and do all your work,
 10 But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God, in it you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger that is within your gates,
 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day, wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.
 12 Honor your father and your mother, so your days will be long on the land which the Lord your God gives you.
 13 You shall not kill.
 14 You shall not commit adultery.
 15 You shall not steal.
 16 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
 17 You shall not covet your neighbor's house, you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's."
 18 And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking, and when the people saw it, they moved, and stood far off.
 19 And they said to Moses, "You speak with us, and we will listen, but don't let God speak with us, so we don't die."
 20 And Moses said to the people, "Don't be afraid, for God has come to test you, and so that his fear will be before your faces, so that you don't sin."
 21 And the people stood far off, and Moses went near the thick darkness where God was.
 22 And the Lord said to Moses, "Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, you've seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
 23 You shall not make with me gods of silver, nor shall you make for yourselves gods of gold.
 24 An altar of earth you shall make for me, and shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings, and your peace offerings, your sheep, and your oxen, in all places where I record my name, I will come to you, and I will bless you.
 25 And if you want to make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of cut stone, for if you lift up your tool on it, you've polluted it.
 26 Nor shall you go up by steps to my altar, so your nakedness won't be discovered on it."

___Exodus chapter 21
 1 "Now these are the judgments that you shall set before them.
 2 If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years, and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
 3 If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself, if he was married, then his wife shall go out with him.
 4 If his master has given him a wife, and she has born him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself.
 5 And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children, I don't want to go out free,
 6 Then his master shall take him to the judges, he shall also take him to the door, or to the door post, and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul, and he shall serve him forever.
 7 And if a man sells his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out like the menservants do.
 8 If she doesn't please her master, who has gotten engaged to her, then he shall let her be redeemed, to sell her to a strange nation he shall have no power, since he has dealt deceitfully with her.
 9 And if his son has gotten engaged to her, he shall deal as with daughters.
 10 If he takes for himself another wife, her food, her clothes, and her duty of marriage, he shall not diminish.
 11 And if he doesn't do these three to her, then she shall go out free without money.
 12 He that strikes a man, so that he dies, shall be surely put to death.
 13 And if a man doesn't lie in wait, but God delivers him into his hand, then I will appoint you a place where he shall flee to.
 14 But if a man comes presumptuously on his neighbor, to kill him with sneakiness, you shall take him from my altar, so he can die.
 15 And he that strikes his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.
 16 And he that steals a man, and sells him, or if he's found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
 17 And he that curses his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
 18 And if men fight together, and one strikes another with a stone, or with his fist, and he doesn't die, but keeps his bed,
 19 If he rises again, and walks out on his staff, then shall he that struck him get off, only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.
 20 And if a man strikes his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he dies under his hand, he shall be surely punished.
 21 Nevertheless, if he continues a day or two, he shall not be punished, for he is his money.
 22 If men fight, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit departs from her, and yet no mischief follows, he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay on him, and he shall pay as the judges determine.
 23 And if any mischief follows, then you shall give life for life,
 24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
 25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
 26 And if a man strikes the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, so that it's destroyed, he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.
 27 And if he strikes out his manservant's tooth, or his maidservant's tooth, he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.
 28 If an ox gores a man or a woman, so that they die, then the ox shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten, but the owner of the ox shall get off.
 29 But if the ox was in the habit of pushing with his horn in the past, and it has been testified to his owner, and he hasn't kept him in, but that he has killed a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death.
 30 If there is laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his life whatever is laid on him.
 31 Whether he has gored a son, or has gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done to him.
 32 If the ox shall push a manservant or a maidservant, he shall give to their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.
 33 And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not cover it, and an ox or an ass falls in it,
 34 The owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money to the owner of them, and the dead beast shall be his.
 35 And if one man's ox hurt another's, so that it dies, then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money of it, and they shall also divide the dead ox .
 36 Or if it's known that the ox used to push in the past, and his owner hasn't kept him in, he shall surely pay ox for ox, and the dead shall be his own."

___Exodus chapter 22
 1 "If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it, he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
 2 If a thief is caught breaking up, and is struck and he dies, there shall no blood be shed for him.
 3 If the sun has risen on him, there shall be blood shed for him, for he should make full restitution, if he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.
 4 If the theft is certainly found in his hand alive, whether it is ox, or donkey, or sheep, he shall restore double.
 5 If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in his beast, and shall feed in another man's field, from the best of his own field, and from the best of his own vineyard, he shall make restitution.
 6 If fire breaks out, and catches in thorns, so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, is consumed by it, he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
 7 If a man shall deliver to his neighbor money or stuff to keep, and it's stolen out of the man's house, if the thief is found, let him pay double.
 8 If the thief isn't found, then the master of the house shall be brought to the judges, to see whether he has put his hand to his neighbor's goods.
 9 For all kinds of trespass, whether it's for ox, for ass, for sheep, for clothing, or for any kind of lost thing, that someone else challenges to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges, and whom the judges shall condemn, he shall pay double to his neighbor.
 10 If a man deliver to his neighbor a donkey, or an ox, or a sheep, or any animal, to keep, and it dies, or gets hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it,
 11 Then shall an oath of the Lord be between them both, that he hasn't put his hand to his neighbor's goods, and the owner of it shall accept it, and he shall not make it good.
 12 And if it is stolen from him, he shall make restitution to the owner of it.
 13 If it has been torn in pieces, then let him bring it for witness, and he shall not make good that which was torn.
 14 And if a man borrows anything from his neighbor, and it gets hurt, or dies, the owner of it not being with it, he shall surely make it good.
 15 But if the owner of it was with it, he shall not make it good, if it is a hired thing, it came for his wages.
 16 And if a man entices a maid that is not engaged, and lies with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.
 17 If her father completely refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
 18 You shall not allow a witch to live.
 19 Whosoever lies with a beast shall surely be put to death.
 20 He that sacrifices to any god, except to the Lord only, he shall be completely destroyed.
 21 You shall not vex a stranger, nor oppress him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
 22 You shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
 23 If you afflict them in any way, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry,
 24 And my anger shall become hot, and I will kill you with the sword, and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
 25 If you lend money to any of my people that is poor by you, you shall not be to him like a usurer, you shall not make him pay interest.
 26 If you at all take your neighbor's clothing as pledge, you shall return it to him by sundown,
 27 For that is his covering only, it is his clothing for his skin, what shall he sleep in?  And when he shouts to me, I will hear, for I am gracious.
 28 You shall not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of your people.
 29 You shall not delay to offer the first of your ripe fruits, and of your liquors, the firstborn of your sons shall you give to me.
 30 Likewise shall you do with your oxen, and with your sheep, seven days it shall be with its mother, on the eighth day you shall give it me.
 31 And you shall be holy men to me, neither shall you eat any flesh that is torn by beasts in the field, you shall throw it to the dogs."

___Exodus chapter 23
 1 "You shall not raise a false report, don't put your hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
 2 You shall not follow a multitude to do evil, neither shall you speak in a cause to decline after many to pervert justice,
 3 Nor shall you hide yourself from the cause of a poor man who's been done wrong.
 4 If you meet your enemy's ox or his donkey going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again.
 5 If you see the donkey of him that hates you lying under its burden, and would prefer not to help him, you shall surely help him.
 6 You shall not pervert the justice of your poor in his cause.
 7 Keep far from a false matter, and the innocent and righteous don't kill, for I will not justify the wicked.
 8 And you shall take no bribe, for the bribe blinds the wise, and perverts the words of the righteous.
 9 Also you shall not oppress a stranger, for you know the heart of a stranger, since you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
 10 And six years you shall plant your land, and shall gather in the fruits of it,
 11 But the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie still, so that the poor of your people can eat, and what they leave, the beasts of the field shall eat.  You shall deal similarly with your vineyard, and with your oliveyard.
 12 Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest, so that your ox and your donkey can rest, and the son of your handmaid, and the stranger, will be refreshed.
 13 And in all things that I've said to you take into consideration everything that pertains, and make no mention of the name of other gods, nor let it be heard from your mouth.
 14 Three times in the year you shall keep a feast to me.
 15 You shall keep the feast of unleavened bread, (you shall eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded you, in the time appointed of the month Abib, for in it you came out from Egypt, and no one shall appear before me empty,)
 16 And the feast of harvest, the first fruits of your labors, that you've planted in the field, and the feast of in gathering, which is in the end of the year, when you've gathered in your labors out of the field.
 17 Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord God.
 18 You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread, neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.
 19 The first of the first fruits of your land you shall bring into the house of the Lord your God.  You shall not seethe a kid in its mother's milk.
 20 See, I send an Angel before you, to keep you in the way, and to bring you into the place which I've prepared.
 21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, don't provoke him, for he won't pardon your transgressions, for my name is in him.
 22 But if you indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your adversaries.
 23 For my Angel shall go before you, and bring you in to the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, and I will cut them off.
 24 You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works, but you shall completely destroy them, and completely break down their images.
 25 And you shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless your bread, and your water, and I will take sickness away from among you.
 26 There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in your land, the number of your days I'll fulfill.
 27 I'll send my fear before you, and will destroy all the people to whom you come, and I'll make all your enemies turn their backs to you.
 28 And I'll send hornets before you, that will drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before you.
 29 I won't drive them out from before you in one year, so the land doesn't become desolate, and the beasts of the field don't multiply against you.
 30 By little and little I'll drive them out from before you, until you're increased, and inherit the land.
 31 And I will set your bounds from the Red sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the river, for I'll deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you'll drive them out before you.
 32 You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
 33 They shall not live in your land, so they don't make you sin against me, for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you."

___Exodus chapter 24
 1 And he said to Moses, "Come up to the Lord, you, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and worship far off.
 2 And Moses alone shall come near the Lord, but they shall not come near, nor shall the people go up with him."
 3 And Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord, and all the judgments, and all the people answered unanimously, and said, "All the words that the Lord has said we will do."
 4 And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord, and got up early in the morning, and built an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
 5 And he sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to the Lord.
 6 And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
 7 And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people, and they said, "All that the Lord has said we will do, and be obedient."
 8 And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, "See the blood of the covenant, that the Lord has made with you concerning all these words."
 9 Then Moses went up, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel,
 10 And they saw the God of Israel, and there was under his feet like a paved work of a sapphire stone, and like the body of heaven in its clearness.
 11 And on the nobles of the children of Israel he didn't lay his hand, also they saw God, and ate and drank.
 12 And the Lord said to Moses, "Come up to me into the mountain, and be there, and I'll give you tables of stone, and a law, and commandments that I've written, so you'll teach them."
 13 And Moses rose up, and his assistant Joshua, and Moses went up into the mountain of God.
 14 And he said to the elders, "Wait for us here, until we come back to you, and, see, Aaron and Hur are with you, if any man has any matters to do, let him come to them."
 15 And Moses went up into the mountain, and a cloud covered the mountain.
 16 And the glory of the Lord stayed on mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days, and the seventh day he called to Moses out of the middle of the cloud.
 17 And the sight of the glory of the Lord was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel.
 18 And Moses went into the middle of the cloud, and got himself up into the mountain, and Moses was in the mountain forty days and forty nights.

___Exodus chapter 25
 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
 2 "Speak to the children of Israel, for them to bring me an offering, of every man that gives it willingly with his heart you shall take my offering.
 3 And this is the offering that you shall take from them, gold, and silver, and brass,
 4 And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair,
 5 And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,
 6 Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense,
 7 Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate.
 8 And let them make me a sanctuary, so I can live among them.
 9 According to all that I show you, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments of it, even so shall you make it.
 10 And they shall make an ark of shittim wood, forty five inches shall be the length of it, and twenty seven inches the width of it, and twenty seven inches the height of it.
 11 And you shall plate it with pure gold, inside and outside you shall plate it, and shall make on it a crown of gold around it.
 12 And you shall cast in foundry four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four corners of it, and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in the other side of it.
 13 And you shall make staves of shittim wood, and plate them with gold.
 14 And you shall put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, so that the ark will be carried with them.
 15 The staves shall be in the rings of the ark, they shall not be taken from it.
 16 And you shall put into the ark the testimony that I'll give you.
 17 And you shall make a mercy seat of pure gold, forty five inches shall be the length of it, and twenty inches the width of it.
 18 And you shall make two angels of gold, of beaten work shall you make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.
 19 And make one angel on one end, and the other angel on the other end, even of the mercy seat shall you make the angels on the two ends of it.
 20 And the angels shall stretch out their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look at each other, the faces of the angels shall be toward the mercy seat.
 21 And you shall put the mercy seat above on the ark, and in the ark you shall put the testimony that I shall give you.

 4 To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
 5 And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all kinds of workmanship.
 6 And I, see, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I've put wisdom, so they can make all that I've commanded you,

 13 "Speak also to the children of Israel, saying, truly my Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, so you'll know that I am the Lord that sanctifies you.
 14 You shall keep the Sabbath therefore, for it is holy to you, everyone that defiles it shall surely be put to death, for whoever does any work in it, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
 15 Six days may work be done, but on the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord, whoever does any work on the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
 16 So the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
 17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever, for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed."
 18 And he gave to Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him on mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written by the finger of God.

___Exodus chapter 32
 1 And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron, and said to him, "Get up, make us gods, that will go before us, for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we don't know what has become of him."
 2 And Aaron said to them, "Break off the golden earrings, that are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them to me."
 3 And all the people broke off the golden earrings that were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron.
 4 And he received them from them, and fashioned it with an engraving tool, after he had made it into a molten calf, and they said, "These are your gods, O Israel, that brought you up out of the land of Egypt."
 5 And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it, and Aaron made proclamation, and said, "Tomorrow is a feast to the Lord."
 6 And they rose up early on the next day, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings, and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
 7 And the Lord said to Moses, "Go, get down, for your people, that you brought out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves,
 8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way that I commanded them, they have made themselves a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed to it, and said, These are your gods, O Israel, that have brought you up out of the land of Egypt."
 9 And the Lord said to Moses, "I have seen these people, and, see, they are a stiff necked people,
 10 Now therefore let me alone, so my anger will grow hot against them, and so that I will consume them, and I will make of you a great nation."
 11 And Moses begged the Lord his God, and said, "Lord, why does your anger grow hot against your people, that you've brought out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?
 12 Why should the Egyptians say, 'For mischief he brought them out, to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth?'  Turn from your fierce anger, and repent of this evil against your people.
 13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self, and said to them, I will multiply your seed like the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of I'll give to your seed, and they shall inherit it forever."
 14 And the Lord repented of the evil that he thought to do to his people.
 15 And Moses turned, and went down from the mountain, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand, the tables were written on both sides, on the one side and on the other they were written.
 16 And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tables.
 17 And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, "There is a noise of war in the camp."
 18 And he said, "It is not the voice of those who shout for mastery, nor is it the voice of those who shout for being overcome, but the noise of those who sing, that I hear."
 19 And as soon as he came near the camp, he saw the calf, and the dancing, and Moses' anger got hot, and he threw the tables out of his hands, and broke them beneath the mountain.
 20 And he took the calf that they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and spread it on the water, and made the children of Israel drink it.
 21 And Moses said to Aaron, "What did these people do to you, that you've brought so great a sin on them?"
 22 And Aaron said, "Let the anger of my lord not be hot, you know the people, that they are set on mischief.
 23 For they said to me, 'Make us gods, that will go before us, for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we don't know what has become of him.'
 24 And I said to them, Whoever has any gold, let them break it off.  So they gave it to me, then I threw it into the fire, and this calf came out."
 25 And when Moses saw that the people were naked, (for Aaron had made them naked to their shame among their enemies,)
 26 Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, "Who is on the Lord's side?  Let him come to me."  And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.
 27 And he said to them, "Thus says the Lord God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and kill every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor."
 28 And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses, and about three thousand men of the people fell that day.
 29 For Moses had said, "Consecrate yourselves today to the Lord, every man on his son, and on his brother, so he will put a blessing on you this day."
 30 And on the next day, Moses said to the people, "You've sinned a great sin, and now I'll go up to the Lord, perhaps I'll make an atonement for your sin."
 31 And Moses returned to the Lord, and said, "Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made themselves gods of gold.
 32 Yet now, if you'll forgive their sin--, and if not, erase me, please, out of your book that you've written."
 33 And the Lord said to Moses, "Whoever has sinned against me I'll erase out of my book.
 34 Therefore now go, lead the people to the place about which I've spoken to you, see, my Angel shall go before you, but in the day when I visit I will visit their sin on them."
 35 And the Lord plagued the people, because they made the calf, that Aaron made.

___Exodus chapter 33
 1 And the Lord said to Moses, "Depart, and go up from here, you and the people that you've brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land that I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, to your seed I'll give it,
 2 And I'll send an angel before you, and I'll drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite,
 3 To a land flowing with milk and honey, for I won't go up among you, for you are a stiff necked people, so that I don't consume you on the way."
 4 And when the people heard this bad news, they mourned, and no man put on him his ornaments.
 5 For the Lord had said to Moses, "Say to the children of Israel, You are a stiff necked people, I will come up among you in a moment, and consume you, therefore now put off your ornaments from you, so that I'll know what to do to you."
 6 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by mount Horeb.
 7 And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it outside the camp, far off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation.  And everyone who sought the Lord went out to the tabernacle of the congregation, that was outside the camp.
 8 And when Moses went out to the tabernacle, all the people got up, and stood every man at his tent door, and watched Moses, until he had gone into the tabernacle.
 9 And as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the Lord talked with Moses.
 10 And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door, and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door.
 11 And the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, like a man speaks to his friend.  And he turned again into the camp, but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, didn't depart out of the tabernacle.
 12 And Moses said to the Lord, "See, you said to me, 'Bring up this people,' and you haven't let me know who you'll send with me.  Yet you've said, 'I know you by name, and you've also found grace in my sight.'
 13 Now therefore, please, if I've found grace in your sight, show me now your way, so I can know you, so I can find grace in your sight, and consider that this nation is your people."
 14 And he said, "My presence shall go with you, and I'll give you rest."
 15 And he said to him, "If your presence doesn't go with me, don't carry us up from here.
 16 For how shall it be known here that I and your people have found grace in your sight?  Is it not in that you go with us?  So shall we be separated, I and your people, from all the people that are on the face of the earth."
 17 And the Lord said to Moses, "I will do this thing also that you've said, for you've found grace in my sight, and I know you by name."
 18 And he said, I beg you, show me your glory.
 19 And he said, "I will make all my goodness pass before you, and I'll proclaim the name of the Lord before you, and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy."
 20 And he said, "You can't see my face, for there shall no man see me, and live."
 21 And the Lord said, "See, there is a place by me, and you'll stand on a rock,
 22 And while my glory passes by, I'll put you in a hole in the rock, and will cover you with my hand while I pass by,
 23 And I will take away my hand, and you'll see my back parts, but my face won't be seen."

___Exodus chapter 34
 1 And the Lord said to Moses, "Cut two tables of stone like the first, and I'll write on these tables the words that were in the first tables, that you broke.
 2 And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning to mount Sinai, and present yourself there to me in the top of the mountain.
 3 And no man shall come up with you, and don't let any man be seen throughout all the mountain, nor let the flocks nor herds feed before that mountain."
 4 And he cut two tables of stone like the first, and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up to mount Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.
 5 And the Lord descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord.
 6 And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, "The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,
 7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving sin and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the sin of the fathers on the children, and on the children's children, to the third and to the fourth generation."
 8 And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.
 9 And he said, "If now I have found grace in your sight, O Lord, let my Lord, please, go among us, for they are a stiff necked people, and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance."
 10 And he said, "See, I make a covenant, before all your people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation, and all the people among whom you are shall see the work of the Lord, for it is a terrible thing that I'll do with you.
 11 Observe that which I command you this day, see, I drive out before you the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
 12 Take heed to yourself, so you don't make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you go, so it won't be for a snare among you,
 13 But you shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves,
 14 For you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God,
 15 So you don't make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice to their gods, and someone calls you, and you eat of his sacrifice,
 16 And you take of their daughters for your sons, and their daughters go whoring after their gods, and make your sons go whoring after their gods.
 17 You shall make you no molten gods.
 18 The feast of unleavened bread shall you keep.  Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, in the time of the month Abib, for in the month Abib you came out from Egypt.
 19 All that opens the womb is mine, and every firstling among your cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male.
 20 But the firstling of an ass you shall redeem with a lamb, and if you don't redeem him, then you shall break its neck.  All the firstborn of your sons you shall redeem.  And none shall appear before me empty.
 21 Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest, in earing time and in harvest you shall rest.
 22 And you shall observe the feast of weeks, of the first fruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of in gathering at the year's end.
 23 Three times a the year all your men children shall appear before the Lord God, the God of Israel.
 24 For I will throw out the nations before you, and enlarge your borders, neither shall any man desire your land, when you go up to appear before the Lord your God three times a the year.
 25 You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven, neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the Passover be left until the morning.
 26 The first of the first fruits of your land you shall bring to the house of the Lord your God.  You shall not boil a kid in his mother's milk."
 27 And the Lord said to Moses, "Write these words, for after the meaning of these words I've made a covenant with you and with Israel."
 28 And he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights, he neither ate bread, nor drank water.  And he wrote on the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
 29 And when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, Moses didn't know that the skin of his face shined while he talked with him.
 30 And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, see, the skin of his face shined, and they were afraid to come near him.
 31 And Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned to him, and Moses talked with them.
 32 And afterward all the children of Israel came near, and he gave them in commandment all that the Lord had spoken with him in mount Sinai.
 33 And 'til Moses had done speaking with them, he put a veil on his face.
 34 But when Moses went in before the Lord to speak with him, he took the veil off, until he came out.  And he came out, and spoke to the children of Israel what he had been commanded.
 35 And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shined, and Moses put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with him.

___Exodus chapter 35
 1 And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said to them, "These are the words that the Lord has commanded, that you should do them.
 2 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you a holy day, a Sabbath of rest to the Lord, whoever does work in it shall be put to death.
 3 You shall not start a fire throughout your habitations on the Sabbath day."
 4 And Moses spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, "This is the thing that the Lord commanded, saying,
 5 Take from among yourselves an offering to the Lord, whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the Lord, gold, and silver, and brass,
 6 And blue, and purple, and red, and fine linen, and goats' hair,
 7 And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,
 8 And oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense,
 9 And onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the breastplate.
 10 And every wise hearted among you shall come, and make all that the Lord has commanded,
 11 The tabernacle, its tent, and its covering, its taches, and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets,
 12 The ark, and the staves of it, with the mercy seat, and the vail of the covering,
 13 The table, and its staves, and all its containers, and the showbread,
 14 The candlestick also for the light, and its furniture, and its lamps, with the oil for the light,
 15 And the incense altar, and its staves, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the door at the entering in of the tabernacle,
 16 The altar of burnt offering, with its brass grate, its staves, and all its containers, the wash basin and its base,
 17 The hangings of the court, its pillars, and their sockets, and the hanging for the door of the court,
 18 The pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords,
 19 The cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office."
 20 And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.
 21 And they came, everyone whose heart stirred him up, and everyone whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the Lord's offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments.
 22 And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold, and every man that offered, offered an offering of gold to the Lord.
 23 And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, and red skins of rams, and badgers' skins, brought them.
 24 Everyone that offered an offering of silver and brass brought the Lord's offering, and every man, with whom was found shittim wood for any work of the service, brought it.
 25 And all the women that were wise hearted did the spinning with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, both of blue, and of purple, and of red, and of fine linen.
 26 And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun goats' hair.
 27 And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate,
 28 And spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.
 29 The children of Israel brought a willing offering to the Lord, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all kinds of work, that the Lord had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.
 30 And Moses said to the children of Israel, "See, the Lord has called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,
 31 And he has filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all kinds of workmanship,
 32 And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
 33 And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any kind of cunning work.
 34 And he has put in his heart to teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
 35 Them he has filled with wisdom of heart, to work all kinds of work, of the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in red, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of those who do any work, and of those who devise cunning work."

___Exodus chapter 36
 1 Then Bezaleel and Aholiab worked, and every wise hearted man, in whom the Lord put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all kinds of work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the Lord had commanded.
 2 And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whose heart the Lord had put wisdom, everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to the work to do it,
 3 And they received from Moses all the offering, which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it out of.  And they brought also to him free offerings every morning.
 4 And all the wise men, that did all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work that they made,
 5 And they spoke to Moses, saying, "The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work, which the Lord commanded to make."
 6 And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, "Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary."  So the people were restrained from bringing.
 7 For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.
 8 And every wise hearted man among them that did the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and red, he made them with angels of cunning work.
 9 The length of one curtain was forty two feet, and the width of one curtain six feet, the curtains were all the same size.
 10 And he coupled the five curtains to each other, and the other five curtains he coupled to each other.
 11 And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain from the edge in the coupling, likewise he made in the farthest side of another curtain, in the coupling of the second.
 12 Fifty loops he made in one curtain, and fifty loops he made in the edge of the curtain that was in the coupling of the second, the loops held one curtain to another.
 13 And he made fifty taches of gold, and coupled the curtains to each other with the taches, so it became one tabernacle.
 14 And he made curtains of goats' hair for the tent over the tabernacle, he made eleven curtains.
 15 The length of one curtain was forty five feet, and six feet was the width of one curtain, the eleven curtains were the same size.
 16 And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.
 17 And he made fifty loops on the farthest edge of the curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made he on the edge of the curtain that couples the second.
 18 And he made fifty taches of brass to couple the tent together, so that it would be one.
 19 And he made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins above that.
 20 And he made boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood, standing up.
 21 The length of a board was fifteen feet, and the width of a board twenty seven inches.
 22 One board had two tenons, equally distant from each other, he did like that for all the boards of the tabernacle.

 24 And forty sockets of silver he made under the twenty boards, two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.
 25 And for the other side of the tabernacle, that is toward the north corner, he made twenty boards,
 26 And their forty sockets of silver, two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

 28 And he made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides.

 30 And there were eight boards, and their sockets were sixteen sockets of silver, under every board two sockets.
 31 And he made bars of shittim wood, five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
 32 And five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the sides westward.

 2 And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and red, and fine twined linen.
 3 And they beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the red, and in the fine linen, with cunning work.
 4 They made shoulder pieces for it, to couple it together, by the two edges it was coupled together.
 5 And the curious girdle of his ephod, that was on it, was of the same, according to the work of it, of gold, blue, and purple, and red, and fine twined linen, as the Lord commanded Moses.

 20 And they made two other golden rings, and put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the front of it, opposite the other coupling of it, above the curious girdle of the ephod.
 21 And they tied the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, so it would be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and so the breastplate wouldn't come loose from ephod, as the Lord commanded Moses.
 22 And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.
 23 And there was a hole in the middle of the robe, like the hole of a chain mail vest, with a band around the hole, so it wouldn't tear.

___Exodus chapter 40
 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
 2 "On the first day of the first month shall you set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
 3 And you shall put in it the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail.
 4 And you shall bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order on it, and you shall bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps of it.
 5 And you shall set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle.
 6 And you shall set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
 7 And you shall set the wash basin between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and shall put water in it.
 8 And you shall set up the court around it, and hang up the hanging at the court gate.
 9 And you shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is in it, and shall hallow it, and all the containers of it, and it shall be holy.
 10 And you shall anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all its containers, and sanctify the altar, and it shall be an altar most holy.
 11 And you shall anoint the wash basin and its base, and sanctify it.
 12 And you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.
 13 And you shall put on Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him, so he can minister to me in the priest's office.
 14 And you shall bring his sons, and clothe them with coats,
 15 And you shall anoint them, as you anointed their father, so they can minister to me in the priest's office, for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations."
 16 Thus did Moses, according to all that the Lord commanded him, so did he.
 17 And in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, the tabernacle was raised up.
 18 And Moses raised up the tabernacle, and fastened its sockets, and set up the boards of it, and put in the bars of it, and raised up its pillars.
 19 And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above on it, as the Lord commanded Moses.
 20 And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above on the ark,
 21 And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the covering, and covered the ark of the testimony, as the Lord commanded Moses.
 22 And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, on the side of the tabernacle northward, outside the vail.
 23 And he set the bread in order on it before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
 24 And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, opposite the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.
 25 And he lighted the lamps before the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
 26 And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the vail,
 27 And he burnt sweet incense on it, as the Lord commanded Moses.
 28 And he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle.
 29 And he put the altar of burnt offering by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation, and offered on it the burnt offering and the meat offering, as the Lord commanded Moses.
 30 And he set the was basin between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash with.
 31 And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet there,
 32 When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near the altar, they washed, as the Lord commanded Moses.
 33 And he reared up the court around the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate.  So Moses finished the work.
 34 Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
 35 And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud stayed on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
 36 And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys,
 37 But if the cloud wasn't taken up, then they didn't journey 'til the day that it was taken up.
 38 For the cloud of the Lord was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
