Gén.8.7. and sent a raven, which went out and was going to and fro until the waters were dried up from the earth.
Gén.8.8. He also sent him a dove, to see if the waters had subsided from the face of the earth.
Gén.8.9. And the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and returned him to the ark because the waters were still on the face of the earth. So he put out his hand and took and ushered him into the ark.
Gén.8.10. He waited another seven days and again sent the dove from the ark.
Gén.8.11. And the dove came to him in the evening, and behold, he brought an olive leaf in its beak, and Noah knew that the waters had subsided from the earth.
Gén.8.12. And he waited another seven days, and sent the dove, which did not return as more to it.
Gén.8.13. And it happened that the year six hundred in the first month, the first of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and behold the face of the earth was dry.
Gén.8.14. And in the second month, at twenty days of the month, the earth was dry.
Gén.8.15. Then God said to Noah, saying:
Gén.8.16. Get out of ark, you and your wife and your sons and your sons’ wives with you.
Gén.8.17. All animals that are with thee of all flesh, birds and beasts and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, Bring forth with thee, and go through the land, and be fruitful and multiply upon the earth.
Gén.8.18. Then came Noah and his sons, his wife and the wives of his sons with him.
Gén.8.19. Every animal, every creeping thing and every bird, everything that moves upon the earth after its kind, out of the ark.
Gén.8.20. Noah built an altar to Jehovah, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
Gén.8.21. And Jehovah saw a pleasing aroma, and the LORD said in his heart: I will never again curse the ground because of humankind, for the attempt of the human heart is evil from his youth, nor shall return to destroy every living thing, as I have .
Gén.8.22. While the earth remains, they will not stop the sowing and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night.
Gén.9.1. God blessed Noah and his sons, and said, Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth.
Gén.9.2. The fear and dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every bird of the heavens, in everything that moves upon the earth, and all fish of the sea are delivered into your hand.
Gén.9.3. Everything that moves and lives shall be to maintain even as the green herb, I have made everything.
Gén.9.4. But flesh with its life, its blood, you shall not eat.
Gén.9.5. And surely your blood of your lives, from the hand of every beast will I require, and hand of man by the hand of man his brother will I require the life of man.
Gén.9.6. Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made man.
Gén.9.7. But ye fruitful and multiply forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
Gén.9.8. Then God spoke to Noah and his sons with him, saying:
Gén.9.9. Behold I establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you;
Gén.9.10. and with every living creature that is with you, birds, animals and every beast of the earth that is with you, from all that go out of the ark, every beast of the earth.
Gén.9.11. Establish my covenant with you: Never again shall all flesh will cut off by flood waters, nor will there be a flood to destroy the earth.
Gén.9.12. And God said: This is the sign of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
Gén.9.13. I have set my bow in the clouds, which shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
Gén.9.14. It shall be, when I bring clouds over the earth, they will then see the rainbow in the clouds.
Gén.9.15. And I remember my covenant which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh shall never again flood waters to destroy all flesh.
Gén.9.16. Will the bow in the clouds, and I see him, and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on earth.

Gén.9.21. and drank wine and got drunk and was uncovered within his tent.

Gén.9.23. Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid on their shoulders, and walking backward, covered the nakedness of his father, having turned their faces, and they did not see the nakedness of his father.
Gén.9.24. And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what he had done his youngest son,
Gén.9.25. and said, “Cursed be Canaan, Servant of servants shall he be to his brothers.
Gén.9.26. And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem, and Canaan shall be his servant.
Gén.9.27. God shall enlarge Japheth, And dwell in the tents of Shem, and Canaan shall be his servant.

Gén.19.12. And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any more? Sons, and your sons and your daughters, and all you have in the city, take it out of this place;
Gén.19.13. because we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has become great before the LORD: therefore the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.
Gén.19.14. Lot went out and spoke to his sons, who had married his daughters, and said, Up, out of this place for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed to his sons in law to be jesting.
Gén.19.15. And at dawn, the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest they perish in the punishment of the city.
Gén.19.16. And while he, the men grasped his hand, and the hand of his wife and hands her two daughters, according to the mercy of the Lord to him and removed him and put him out of town.
Gén.19.17. When they had brought them outside, said, Escape for thy life: look not behind thee, neither stay in all the plain, escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
Gén.19.18. Lot said to them: No, I beg you, gentlemen.
Gén.19.19. Behold now your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have magnified your mercy you have done me in saving my life and I can not escape to the mountain, lest evil overtake me and I die.
Gén.19.20. Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is small, let me escape there (is not she small?) And save my life.
Gén.19.21. And he said, Behold, I have also received your petition on this, and not overthrow the city of which you spoke.
Gén.19.22. Hurry, escape there, for I can do until you arrive there. That’s why he called the name of the city, Zoar [small].
Gén.19.23. The sun rose over the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
Gén.19.24. Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
Gén.19.25. and destroyed the cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of those cities, and the fruit of the earth.
Gén.19.26. Then the wife looked back behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
Gén.19.27. And Abraham gat up in the morning to where he stood before the Lord.
Gén.19.28. And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah and toward all the land of the plain looked, and behold, the smoke rising from the earth as the smoke of a furnace.
Gén.19.29. So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham and sent Lot out of the midst of destruction, when he overthrew the cities where Lot dwelt.
Gén.19.30. And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him, for he feared to dwell in Zoar, and dwelt in a cave he and his two daughters.
Gén.19.31. Then the elder said to the younger, Our father is old, and there is no man on earth who enters us after the manner of all the earth.
Gén.19.32. Come, let us to our father drink wine, and sleep with him and preserve seed of our father.
Gén.19.33. And they made their father drink wine that night, and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father, but he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
Gén.19.34. The next day, said the elder to the younger, Behold, I lay last night with my father: let us make him drink wine tonight also, and comes and sleeps with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
Gén.19.35. And they made their father drink wine that night also, and the younger arose, and lay with him, but he did not perceive when she lay down, nor when she arose.

Gén.20.1. From there Abraham journeyed to the land of the South, and between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
Gén.20.2. And Abraham said of Sarah his wife is my sister. And Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.
Gén.20.3. But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said, Behold, you are dead because of the woman you have taken, which is married to husband.
Gén.20.4. But Abimelech had not come to her and said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?
Gén.20.5. Is not he told me: My sister is and she also said: He is my brother? with simplicity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this.
Gén.20.6. And God said to him in dreams, I also know that the integrity of thy heart thou hast done this, and I also withheld thee from sinning against me, and so do not to touch her.
Gén.20.7. Now therefore restore the woman to her husband, he is a prophet, and pray for you, and live. And if not restore her, know that you shall surely die, and all yours.
Gén.20.8. Abimelech rose early next morning and called all his servants and told all these things in their ears and men feared greatly.
Gén.20.9. Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said, What have you done? What have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? What ought not to have done to me.
Gén.20.10. Abimelech said to Abraham: What did you think, for you to do this?
Gén.20.11. And Abraham said, Because I thought, There certainly is no fear of God in this place and kill me because of my wife.
Gén.20.12. And indeed she is my sister, the daughter of my father, but not my mother’s daughter, and became my wife.
Gén.20.13. And when God caused me to wander from my father’s house, I said: This is the mercy that you will do me in every place whither we shall come, say of me is my brother.
Gén.20.14. Abimelech took sheep and oxen and male and female slaves and gave them to Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
Gén.20.15. And Abimelech said, Behold my land is before thee: dwell where you look good.
Gén.20.16. And Sarah said, Behold I have given a thousand pieces of silver to your brother, you see he is like a veil to the eyes of all those with you, and for all, and was vindicated.
Gén.20.17. Then Abraham prayed to God and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his servants, and had children.
Gén.20.18. For the LORD had closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah Abraham’s wife.
Gén.21.1. LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did for Sarah as he had spoken.
Gén.21.2. Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age at the time that God had told him.
Gén.21.3. And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to Sara bore him, Isaac.
Gén.21.4. And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac eight days as God commanded him.
Gén.21.5. And Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born.
Gén.21.6. Sarah said, God has made me laugh, and everyone who hears will laugh with me.
Gén.21.7. And she said, Who said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? I have borne him a son in his old age.
Gén.21.8. And the child grew and was weaned and Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
Gén.21.9. And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking his son Isaac.
Gén.21.10. Therefore, she said unto Abraham, Cast out this handmaid and her son because the son of this handmaid will not inherit with my son Isaac.
Gén.21.11. And the thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight because of his son.
Gén.21.12. Then God said to Abraham, Let it not be serious because of the boy and your maidservant, in all that Sarah says to you, hear your voice, as in Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.
Gén.21.13. And also the son of the handmaid will I make a nation because it is your offspring.
Gén.21.14. And Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and gave the boy, and sent her away. And she departed and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
Gén.21.15. And he was out of water in the skin, and she cast the child under a bush,
Gén.21.16. and went and sat opposite, a distance of a bow shot, because he said I will not see when the boy dies. And when she sat over against him, raised his voice and wept.
Gén.21.17. And God heard the voice of the boy and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, and said, What ails you, Hagar? Fear not: for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.
Gén.21.18. Arise, lift up the lad, and hold your hand because I will make him a great nation.
Gén.21.19. Then God opened her eyes and saw a water fountain, and went and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.
Gén.21.20. And God was with the boy, and grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
Gén.21.21. And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took a wife from the land of Egypt.
Gén.21.22. It happened at that same time he spoke Abimelech and his army Phicol prince, to Abraham, saying, God is with you in everything you do.
Gén.21.23. Now therefore swear to me here by God, you will not miss me, or my son or my grandson, but according to the kindness that I done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and the land wherein thou hast sojourned.
Gén.21.24. And Abraham said, I swear.
Gén.21.25. And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a water well, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.
Gén.21.26. And Abimelech said do not know who has done this, nor did you know me, nor I have heard today.
Gén.21.27. And Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and made both compact.
Gén.21.28. Abraham set apart seven ewe lambs of the flock.
Gén.21.29. And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs you have set apart?
Gén.21.30. And he said, These seven ewe lambs you shall take my hand, I may be a witness that I dug this well.
Gén.21.31. Therefore he called that place Beersheba [well of seven, well of the oath], because there they sware both.
Gén.21.32. So they made a covenant at Beersheba, and Abimelech rose up, and Phicol prince of his army, and returned to the land of the Philistines.
Gén.21.33. And Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the Lord God eternal.
Gén.21.34. And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.
Gén.22.1. Now after these things that God tested Abraham, and said Abraham. And he said, Here am.
Gén.22.2. And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I shall tell you.
Gén.22.3. And Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey and took two of his own, and his son Isaac, and cut the wood for the burnt offering and arose and went to the place that God told him.
Gén.22.4. On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place afar off.
Gén.22.5. Abraham said to his servants: “Stay here with the ass, and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come back to you.
Gén.22.6. Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son, and he took in his hand the fire and the knife and they were both together.
Gén.22.7. Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, My father. And he said, Behold, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for the sacrifice?
Gén.22.8. Abraham said, God will provide himself a lamb for the burnt offering, my son. And they were together.
Gén.22.9. When they reached the place God had told him, Abraham built an altar, and laid the wood, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
Gén.22.10. And Abraham stretched forth his hand and took the knife to slay his son.
Gén.22.11. Then the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham. And he said, Here am.
Gén.22.12. And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do anything to him, because now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only.
Gén.22.13. Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered a burnt offering instead of his son.
Gén.22.14. And Abraham called the name of that place, the Lord will provide [Hebrew Jehovah-Jireh]. Therefore we say today: In the mountain of the Lord shall be provided.
Gén.22.15. And the angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven,
Gén.22.16. and said, By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, for thou hast done this, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son;
Gén.22.17. verily, I bless you and multiply your seed as the stars of heaven and as the sand on the seashore, and your descendants possess the gate of his enemies.
Gén.22.18. In thy seed shall be blessed all the nations of the earth, because you have obeyed my voice.
Gén.22.19. So Abraham returned unto his servants, and they arose and went together to Beersheba, and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.
Gén.22.20. Now after these things, that notice was given to Abraham, saying, Behold Milca also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
Gén.22.21. Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel father of Aram,
Gén.22.22. Quesada, Hazo, Pildes, Jidlaph and Bethuel.
Gén.22.23. And Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These are the eight children who gave birth Milca, Abraham’s brother Nahor.
Gén.22.24. And his concubine, whose name was Rheumatism, also gave birth to Teba, Gaham, Tahash and Maacah.
Gén.23.1. Sara’s life was one hundred twenty-seven years, so many were the years of the life of Sarah.
Gén.23.2. And Sarah died in Kiriath-arba, which is Hebron, in the land of Canaan, and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah and to weep.
Gén.23.3. And Abraham rose up from before his dead, and spake unto the children of Heth, saying:
Gén.23.4. ‘m Stranger and a sojourner among you, give me property among you for grave and bury my dead from before me.
Gén.23.5. And the children of Heth to Abraham, and said:
Gén.23.6. Hear us, my lord, you are a mighty prince among us: the best of our sepulchres bury your dead, none of us will deny his grave, or prevent you bury your dead.
Gén.23.7. And Abraham rose and bowed to the people of that land, the Hittites,
Gén.23.8. and spoke to them saying: If you are willing that I should bury my dead from before me, hear me, and intercede for me with Ephron son of Zohar,
Gén.23.9. to give me the cave of Machpelah, which is the end of his field, that a fair price for me to give, for possession of burial among you.
Gén.23.10. Now Ephron was sitting among the Hittites, and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the presence of the Hittites, of all that went through the gate of their city, saying:
Gén.23.11. No, sir, hear me: I give the estate, and I give you the cave that is in it, in the presence of the sons of my people I give it, bury your dead.
Gén.23.12. Then Abraham bowed down before the people of the earth,
Gén.23.13. and responded to Ephron in the presence of people of the land, deciendo: Before, if you please, I beg you to hear. I give you the price of the land, take it from me, and bury my dead.
Gén.23.14. Ephron answered Abraham, saying:
Gén.23.15. Sir, listen to me: the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver, what is it between you and me? Bury therefore thy dead.
Gén.23.16. And Abraham agreed with Ephron, and Abraham weighed to Ephron the money that said, in the presence of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, good with the merchant.
Gén.23.17. And it was the field of Ephron which was in Machpelah before Mamre, the field with the cave that was in it, and all the trees that were in the field, and in its contours,
Gén.23.18. as the property of Abraham, in the presence of the sons of Heth, before all who went through the gate of the city.
Gén.23.19. After this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah east of Mamre, which is Hebron in the land of Canaan.
Gén.23.20. And it was the inheritance and the cave that was therein, of Abraham as a possession for burial, received from the Hittites.
Gén.24.1. And Abraham was old, and well stricken in years, and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
Gén.24.2. And Abraham said to his servant, the oldest of his house, which was the ruling in everything he had, Put thy hand under my thigh,
Gén.24.3. and I swear by the Lord God of heaven and the God of the earth, you will not take my son to wife of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell;
Gén.24.4. but go to my country and my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.
Gén.24.5. The servant replied: Maybe the woman will not come after me to this land. Will I therefore thy Son to earth from which you came?
Gén.24.6. And Abraham said: Beware not my son thither again.
Gén.24.7. Lord God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house and the land of my birth, and spoke to me and swore, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, he will send his angel before thee, and thou shall take a wife for my son.
Gén.24.8. And if the woman be not willing to follow thee, thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.
Gén.24.9. And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore on the business.
Gén.24.10. And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed, taking all sorts of gifts chosen by his master, and put on the road, came to Mesopotamia, the city of Nahor.
Gén.24.11. And he made the camels kneel down outside the city, next to a waterhole, the afternoon, the hour when the draw water out.
Gén.24.12. And he said O LORD God of my master Abraham, give me, I beg you, having this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
Gén.24.13. Behold, I stand by the water source, and the daughters of men in the city come out for water.
Gén.24.14. For let the maiden to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray, that I may drink, and she shall say, Drink, and also give your camels drink, it is she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac, and know that thou hast done this kindness unto my master.
Gén.24.15. It happened that before he had finished speaking, behold, Rebekah who was born to Bethuel, son of Nahor’s wife Milca brother of Abraham, which came out with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
Gén.24.16. And the damsel was very beautiful, a virgin, who had not known man; and she went down to the fountain, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
Gén.24.17. And the servant ran toward her and said, ‘Please let me have a drink a little water of thy pitcher.
Gén.24.18. She said, Drink, my lord, and hurried down her pitcher upon her hand and gave him drink.
Gén.24.19. And when she finished giving him drink, he said: Also I will draw water for your camels until they have drunk.
Gén.24.20. And she hasted and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.
Gén.24.21. The man was astonished at her, remaining silent, to know whether Jehovah had made his journey prosperous or not.
Gén.24.22. And when the camels had done drinking, the man took a gold pendant weighing half a shekel and two bracelets weighing ten,
Gén.24.23. and said, Whose daughter are you? Pray tell me: is there in thy father’s house to lodge?
Gén.24.24. And she said I am the daughter of Bethuel son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.
Gén.24.25. She said moreover, We have both straw and fodder, and room to lodge.
Gén.24.26. The man then bowed and worshiped the LORD,
Gén.24.27. and said, Blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham, who hath not left my master of his mercy and his truth, the Lord guiding me on the way home from the brothers of my master.
Gén.24.28. The girl ran home and told his mother these things.
Gén.24.29. Rebekah had a brother named Laban, who ran out to the man, to the source.
Gén.24.30. And when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his sister’s hands, saying, Thus spoke to me man, came to him and behold he stood by the camels at the fountain.
Gén.24.31. And he said, Come, blessed of the Lord, why are you out? I prepared the house, and place for the camels.
Gén.24.32. Then the man came home, and Laban broke the camels and gave straw and fodder, and water to wash his feet, and feet of men who were with him.
Gén.24.33. And there was set before him to eat but he said I will not eat until I have made my message. And he said: Speak.
Gén.24.34. He said, I am Abraham’s servant.
Gén.24.35. The Lord has blessed my master greatly, and he is become great, and has given him sheep and oxen, silver and gold, male and female servants, camels and donkeys.
Gén.24.36. And Sarah my master’s wife gave birth to a son in his old age my lord, who has given everything he has.
Gén.24.37. And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take my son to wife of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell;
Gén.24.38. but will go to the house of my father and kindred, and take a wife for my son.
Gén.24.39. And I said: Maybe the woman will not follow.
Gén.24.40. Then he answered the LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you and prosper your way, and take a wife for my son my family and my father’s house.
Gén.24.41. Then you will be free from my oath, when thou comest to my family and if they give not thee, thou shalt be clear from my oath.
Gén.24.42. So I came today to the source, and said, LORD God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go,
Gén.24.43. surely I am near the source of water is then that the maid to go out for water, which shall say: Give me a drink, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher,
Gén.24.44. and it satisfies me drink thou, and I will draw water for thy camels; is this the woman whom the LORD for my master’s son.
Gén.24.45. Before I had done speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder, and fell to the source, and drew water and said, please do me drink.
Gén.24.46. And promptly dropped her pitcher from her shoulder and said, Drink, and also give your camels drink. So I drank, and also gave the camels drink.
Gén.24.47. Then I asked him and said, Whose daughter are you? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel son of Nahor, who gave birth Milca. Then I put the ring in his nose and the bracelets on her arms;
Gén.24.48. and I bent down and worshiped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, who had led me the right way to take the daughter of my master’s brother for his son.
Gén.24.49. Now therefore, if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, and if not, tell me and I’ll go to the right hand or to the left.
Gén.24.50. Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said: From Jehovah this has come out we can not speak bad or good.
Gén.24.51. Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her and go, and let her be thy master’s son, as he saith.
Gén.24.52. When Abraham’s servant heard their words, bowed to the ground before the LORD.
Gén.24.53. And the servant brought forth jewels of silver and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah also gave precious things to her brother and her mother.
Gén.24.54. And they ate and drank, he and the men that were with him, and slept, and rose in the morning, he said, Send to my master.
Gén.24.55. And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us at least ten days and then leave.
Gén.24.56. And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing Jehovah hath prospered my way: send me to go to my master.
Gén.24.57. They said, We will call the damsel, and ask.
Gén.24.58. And they called Rebekah, and said, Wilt thou go with this man? And she answered, I will go.
Gén.24.59. And they sent away Rebekah his sister, and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant and his men.
Gén.24.60. And they blessed Rebekah, and said our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of his enemies.
Gén.24.61. Then Rebekah and her maids arose, and rode on camels, and followed the man and the servant took Rebekah, and went.

Gén.24.65. because he had said to the servant: Who is this that walketh in the field toward us? And the servant said, It is my master. She then took her veil and covered herself.
Gén.24.66. And the servant told Isaac all he had done.
Gén.24.67. And Isaac brought to the store of his mother Sarah, and took Rebekah to wife, and loved, and Isaac was comforted after his mother died.

Gén.25.28. Isaac loved Esau because he ate of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
Gén.25.29. Jacob and cooked a stew, Esau came from the field, tired,
Gén.25.30. Jacob said, ‘Please let me have a swallow of that red stew, for I am tired. Therefore his name was called Edom [red].
Gén.25.31. And Jacob said, Sell me your birthright.
Gén.25.32. Then Esau said, Behold, I am going to die, why then, I will serve the birthright?
Gén.25.33. And Jacob said, Swear to me first. And he swore, and sold his birthright to Jacob.
Gén.25.34. Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew, and he ate and drank, and got up and left. Thus Esau despised his birthright.
Gén.26.1. Then there was famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham and Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines in Gerar.
Gén.26.2. And the LORD appeared to him and said, Go not down into Egypt: dwell in the land that I will tell you.
Gén.26.3. Sojourn in this land, and will be with you, and bless you, for you and your descendants I give all these lands, and will perform the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.
Gén.26.4. Multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and will give your descendants all these lands and all nations of the earth be blessed through your seed,
Gén.26.5. because Abraham obeyed my voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes and My laws.
Gén.26.6. Dwelt, Isaac in Gerar.
Gén.26.7. And the men of the place asked about his wife, he said, She is my sister, he was afraid to say is my wife, thinking that perhaps the local men would kill for Rebekah, because she was beautiful look.
Gén.26.8. It happened that when he had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out a window and saw Isaac caressing his wife Rebekah.
Gén.26.9. And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, she is your wife. How, then, you said: It’s my sister? And Isaac answered: Because I said: Maybe she die for.
Gén.26.10. And Abimelech said, Why have you done this? He almost had one of the people stayed with your wife and you would have brought upon us.
Gén.26.11. And Abimelech charged all the people, saying: He who touches this man or his wife be put to death.
Gén.26.12. Then Isaac sowed in that land, and the same year reaped a hundredfold, and the LORD blessed him.
Gén.26.13. The man became rich, and prospered, and were exalted to be very powerful.
Gén.26.14. And he had possessions of sheep and herd of cows, and a lot of farming, and the Philistines envied him.
Gén.26.15. And all the wells that had opened the servants of Abraham his father in his day, the Philistines had stopped and filled with earth.
Gén.26.16. Abimelech said to Isaac: Depart from us, because much more powerful than us you’ve done.
Gén.26.17. And Isaac departed from there and camped in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
Gén.26.18. And Isaac digged again the wells that were dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham, and he called for the names which his father had called.
Gén.26.19. But when Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found there a well of living waters,
Gén.26.20. the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, The water is ours. He called the name of the well Esek [contention] because they strove with him.
Gén.26.21. Then they dug another well, and also quarreled over him and named him Sitna [enmity].
Gén.26.22. And he departed from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it, and he named Rehoboth [places wide, spacious] and said, For now the LORD hath prospered, and fruitful in the land.
Gén.26.23. And he went up to Beersheba.
Gén.26.24. And the LORD appeared to him that night and said, “I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with you and I bless you and multiply your descendants for the sake of my servant Abraham.
Gén.26.25. And there he built an altar, and invoked the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there and opened there Isaac’s servants a well.
Gén.26.26. And Abimelech came to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath, his friend, and Phicol captain of his army.
Gén.26.27. Isaac said to them: Why did you come to me, seeing that ye hate me, and sent me away from you?
Gén.26.28. And they said, We saw that the Lord is with you and we said, Let there be now an oath between us, between you and us and make a covenant cutigo,
Gén.26.29. we do not do evil, as we have not touched thee, and as we’ve only done well, and we send in peace-you are now the blessed of the LORD.
Gén.26.30. Then he made them a feast, and ate and drank.
Gén.26.31. And they rose at dawn, and swore at each other, and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
Gén.26.32. On that day it happened that Isaac’s servants came and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said: We have found water.
Gén.26.33. And he called Sheba, for this reason the name of the city is Beersheba to this day.
Gén.26.34. And when Esau was forty years old, he married Judith daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath daughter of Elon the Hittite;
Gén.26.35. and were a grief of mind to Isaac and Rebekah.
Gén.27.1. Pass that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim running out of sight, he called Esau his eldest son, and told my son. And he said, Here am.
Gén.27.2. And he said, Behold, I am old, I know the day I die.
Gén.27.3. Here, then, now your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go to the field and hunt game for me;
Gén.27.4. and make me savory meat as I like, and bring it to me, and eat, so I bless thee before I die.
Gén.27.5. And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son, and Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, bring it.
Gén.27.6. And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying:
Gén.27.7. Bring me venison, and make me savory meat, to eat, and bless thee before the LORD before I die.
Gén.27.8. Now therefore, my son, obey my voice as I command.
Gén.27.9. Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats, and I will make them savory food for your father, as he likes;
Gén.27.10. and you will take them to your father, and eat, so he may bless thee before his death.
Gén.27.11. And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am smooth.
Gén.27.12. Perhaps my father will feel me, and I shall mocker, and will bring a curse upon me and not a blessing.
Gén.27.13. And his mother said, My son, Upon me be thy curse, only obey my voice and go fetch me.
Gén.27.14. So he went and took, and brought his mother and his mother made savory meat, as his father loved.
Gén.27.15. And Rebekah took the clothes of Esau her elder son, beautiful, she had at home, and dressed her younger son Jacob;
Gén.27.16. and covered her hands and part of his neck where he had no hair, the skins of the kids;
Gén.27.17. and gave the savory meat and bread she had prepared, in the hands of her son Jacob.
Gén.27.18. So he went to his father and said, My father. And he said, Here am I, who are you, son?
Gén.27.19. And Jacob said to his father, I am Esau your firstborn I did as you told me get up now, sit and eat of my venison, that you bless me.
Gén.27.20. And Isaac said to his son, How is you found her so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God made the find before me.
Gén.27.21. And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near now, and I may feel thee, my son, whether thou my son Esau or not.
Gén.27.22. And Jacob came to his father Isaac, who touched him, saying, The voice is the voice of Jacob but the hands are the hands of Esau.
Gén.27.23. And he, because his hands were hairy like Esau’s hands, and blessed him.
Gén.27.24. And he said, Art thou my son Esau? And he said, I am.
Gén.27.25. He also said Acércamela, and I will eat my son’s game, so I bless thee, and Jacob gave it to him, and Isaac ate, he brought him wine, and drank.
Gén.27.26. And his father Isaac said: Come now, and kiss me, son.
Gén.27.27. And he came near, and kissed him, and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, saying: Behold, the smell of my son, as the smell of the field which the Lord has blessed;
Gén.27.28. God will give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, And plenty of corn and wine.
Gén.27.29. Let peoples, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over your brothers, and bow to thee thy mother’s sons. Damn that curse thee, and bless those who bless you.
Gén.27.30. It happened, as soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had scarcely left before his father Isaac, Esau his brother came to hunt.
Gén.27.31. And he did it well cooked, and brought his father, and said, Let my father arise and eat of his son’s hunting, to bless me.
Gén.27.32. And Isaac his father said, “Who are you? And he said, I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.
Gén.27.33. And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who is the one who came here, that hath taken venison, and gave me, and eaten of all before you vinieses? I blessed him, and be blessed.
Gén.27.34. When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said: Bless me also, father.
Gén.27.35. And he said, Thy brother came deceitfully and took your blessing.
Gén.27.36. Esau said, rightly named Jacob, for it has supplanted me twice: He took away my birthright, and behold now he hath taken away my blessing. He said: Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?
Gén.27.37. Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and you’ve given all his brothers servants; of grain and wine I have provided, what, then, I’ll make to you now, my son ?
Gén.27.38. Esau said to his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? Bless me also, father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
Gén.27.39. And Isaac his father answered and said, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, And the dew of heaven from above;
Gén.27.40. And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; It will happen when you strengthen, To break his yoke from off thy neck.
Gén.27.41. And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him, and said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father and I will kill my brother Jacob.
Gén.27.42. And were told to Rebekah the words of Esau her elder son and she sent and called Jacob her younger son and said, Behold, thy brother Esau consulate about yourself with the idea to kill you.
Gén.27.43. Now therefore, my son, obey my voice, arise and flee to Laban my brother in Haran,
Gén.27.44. And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother’s anger was alleviated;
Gén.27.45. until it appeases the wrath of your brother to you, and remember what you did, then I will send and fetch thee from thence. Why should I be deprived of you both in one day?
Gén.27.46. And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, like these, of the daughters of this land, why should life?
Gén.28.1. And Isaac called Jacob and blessed him and commanded him saying: Do not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
Gén.28.2. Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother’s father, and taking there wife of the daughters of Laban thy mother’s brother.
Gén.28.3. And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful and multiply thee, become many peoples;
Gén.28.4. And give thee the blessing of Abraham, and to thy seed with thee, to inherit the land wherein thou that God gave to Abraham.
Gén.28.5. And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padan Aram, to Laban son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebecca the mother of Jacob and Esau.
Gén.28.6. Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him to Padanaram, to take him a wife from there, and that when he blessed him, commanded him saying: Do not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan;
Gén.28.7. And that Jacob obeyed his father and mother, and had gone to Padanaram.
Gén.28.8. And Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father;
Gén.28.9. And Esau went to Ishmael and took to himself to wife Mahalath, daughter of Ishmael Abraham’s son, sister Nebaioth addition to their other women.
Gén.28.10. He left, then, Jacob Beersheba and went toward Haran.
Gén.28.11. And reached a certain place, and slept there, because the sun had set, she took of the stones of that place and put his head and lay down in that place.
Gén.28.12. And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on land, and the top reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
Gén.28.13. And behold, the LORD stood above it, which he said: I am the Lord, the God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac, the land on which you lie I will give to you and your descendants.
Gén.28.14. Shall thy seed as the dust of the earth, and you shall spread to the west, east, north and south, and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your descendants.
Gén.28.15. Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and bring you back to this land, that will not leave you until I have done what I said.
Gén.28.16. And Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, Surely Jehovah is in this place, and I did not know.
Gén.28.17. And he was afraid and said, How dreadful is this place! It is nothing other than the house of God and gate of heaven.
Gén.28.18. And Jacob rose early, and took the stone he had put for his pillows, and up for a pillar and poured oil over it.
Gén.28.19. And he called the name of that place Bethel [house of God], though Light [Almond] was the name of the city first.
Gén.28.20. Then Jacob made a vow, saying, If God will be with me and keep me in this way that I go, and give me bread to eat and garments to wear,
Gén.28.21. and I return in peace to my father, my God Jehovah.
Gén.28.22. And this stone which I have set for a pillar, shall be God’s house, and everything to give me the tenth unto thee.
Gén.29.1. Then Jacob continued his journey, and came to the land of the East.
Gén.29.2. And looked, and behold a well in the field, and behold, three flocks of sheep lying near it because of that well watered the cattle, and there was a large stone on the wellhead.
Gén.29.3. And all the flocks gathered there and churned the stone from the mouth of the well and watered the sheep, and turned the stone over the mouth of the shaft into place.
Gén.29.4. And Jacob said, My brethren, whence are you? And they said: Of Haran are we.
Gén.29.5. He told them: Do you know Laban son of Nahor? And they said: Yes, I know.
Gén.29.6. And he said: Is it OK? And they said OK, and behold Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.
Gén.29.7. And he said, Behold, is still very day is still time to pick up the cattle watered the sheep, and go and feed them.
Gén.29.8. And they said, We can not come together until all the flocks, and they roll the stone from the mouth of the well, we water the sheep.
Gén.29.9. While he yet talked with them, Rachel came with the flock of his father, because she was the pastor.
Gén.29.10. It happened that when Jacob saw Rachel 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 mouth of the well and watered the flock of Laban his brother mother.
Gén.29.11. And Jacob kissed Rachel, and raised his voice and wept.
Gén.29.12. And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father, who was the son of Rebecca and she ran and gave the news to his father.
Gén.29.13. So Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister’s son, ran to meet him and embraced him and kissed him, and brought him home and he told Laban all these things.
Gén.29.14. And Laban said, Surely bone and my flesh are. And he was with him for a month.
Gén.29.15. Then Laban said to Jacob: Why be you my brother, serve me for naught? Tell me what your salary.
Gén.29.16. Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
Gén.29.17. And Leah’s eyes were delicate, but Rachel was of beautiful countenance and goodly man.
Gén.29.18. And Jacob loved Rachel, and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
Gén.29.19. And Laban said, You better give it to you, and not that of another man, stay with me.
Gén.29.20. And Jacob served seven years for Rachel and they seemed a few days, because he loved her.
Gén.29.21. Jacob said to Laban: Give me my wife, because my time has come to join her.
Gén.29.22. Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
Gén.29.23. It happened that night took Leah his daughter, and brought, and he reached it.
Gén.29.24. And Laban gave his maid Zilpah to his daughter Leah by maid.
Gén.29.25. When morning came, behold, it was Leah, and Jacob said to Laban, What is it you’ve done? Have not I served for Rachel? Why then have you deceived?
Gén.29.26. And Laban said, It is done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
Gén.29.27. Meets the week of this, and you also give the other by the service you do me another seven years.
Gén.29.28. And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week of the former, and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife.
Gén.29.29. And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his maid servant.
Gén.29.30. And he also came to Rachel, and also loved her more than Leah, and served Laban another seven years.
Gén.29.31. And God saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.
Gén.29.32. And Leah conceived and bore a son, and called his name Reuben [ved, a son], because he said you looked LORD my affliction: now therefore my husband will love me.
Gén.29.33. Conceived again and bore a son, and said, Because he heard [Hebrew shama] Lord that I was hated, he also has given me. And she called his name Simeon.
Gén.29.34. And she conceived again and bore a son, and said: Now this time will join [Hebrew Lawah] my husband with me because I gave birth to three children, so she called his name Levi.
Gén.29.35. Conceived again and bore a son, and said: This time I will praise [Hebrew hodah] the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah, and stopped giving birth.
Gén.30.1. Seeing Rachel gave no children to Jacob, he was envious of her sister, and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.
Gén.30.2. And Jacob’s anger burned against Rachel, and said: Am I a God who kept you from the fruit of thy womb?
Gén.30.3. And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in to her, and give birth on my knees, and I also have children with her.
Gén.30.4. That gave Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her.
Gén.30.5. And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.
Gén.30.6. Rachel then said: God judged me, and also heard my voice, and gave me a son. So she called his name Dan [He judged].
Gén.30.7. Bilhah conceived again the handmaid of Rachel, and bore Jacob a second son.
Gén.30.8. And Rachel said, With God’s struggles have contended [Hebrew niftal] with my sister, and have prevailed. And she called his name Naphtali.
Gén.30.9. Seeing, then, Lea, who had stopped giving birth, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.
Gén.30.10. And Zilpah Leah’s handmaid bare Jacob a son.
Gén.30.11. And Leah said the venture, and called his name Gad [wealth].
Gén.30.12. Then Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a second son.
Gén.30.13. And Leah said: For this mine because women tell me happy, and called his name Asher [happy].
Gén.30.14. Reuben went in the time of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought his mother Leah, and Rachel said to Leah, I beg you to give me the mandrakes your son.
Gén.30.15. And she answered: Is it just that you’ve taken my husband, but you have to bring my son mandrakes? And Rachel said: Well, sleep with you tonight for your son mandrakes.
Gén.30.16. So when Jacob came from the field in the evening, Leah went out to him and said: Come to me, because as I have hired you for my son mandrakes. And he slept with her that night.
Gén.30.17. And God heard Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son.
Gén.30.18. And Leah said, God has given me my reward [Hebrew sakar] in that it gave my handmaid to my husband, and she called his name Issachar.
Gén.30.19. Then Leah conceived again and bore Jacob the sixth son.
Gén.30.20. And Leah said, God has given me a good dowry; now dwell [Hebrew zabal] me my husband because I gave birth to six children, and called his name Zebulun.
Gén.30.21. After she bore a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
Gén.30.22. And God remembered Rachel, and God heard and granted him children.
Gén.30.23. And she conceived and bore a son, and said: God has taken away my reproach;
Gén.30.24. and called his name Joseph [He added], saying, Jehovah add to me another son.
Gén.30.25. It happened when Rachel had borne Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, Send me, and go to my place and my land.
Gén.30.26. Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have done.
Gén.30.27. And Laban answered: Let me find favor in your eyes now, and stay, I have experienced that the Lord has blessed me for thy sake.
Gén.30.28. And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it.
Gén.30.29. And he said: You know how I have served you and how your livestock has been with me.
Gén.30.30. Because you had little before I came, and has grown in number, and the LORD has blessed you with my arrival, and now, when will work well for my own home?
Gén.30.31. And he said: What do you give? Jacob said: Do not give me anything, if it doest for me, I will return to feed your sheep.
Gén.30.32. I will pass through all your flock, putting aside all the sheep spotted and speckled, and every dark-colored sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and this will be my wages.
Gén.30.33. So my honesty will answer for me tomorrow, when you come to recognize my salary, all which is not painted or stained in goats, and brown among my sheep, I have been to have as theft.
Gén.30.34. Laban then said: Look, is as you say.
Gén.30.35. And Laban departed that day the striped and spotted goats and all goats spotted and speckled, and any that had something white, and all the brown among the sheep and put them in the hands of his children.
Gén.30.36. And he set three days’ journey between himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks.
Gén.30.37. Then Jacob took fresh rods of poplar, hazel and chestnut, and barking at them white peel, exposing the white of the rods.
Gén.30.38. And he set the rods which he had peeled in front of the cattle in the channels of the water troughs where the sheep came to drink, which procreate when they came to drink.
Gén.30.39. So the flocks conceived before the rods, and sheep bore streaked, speckled and dotted with various colors.
Gén.30.40. And Jacob separated the lambs, and put his own flock with listings and everything was dark flock of Laban. And he put his own droves apart, and not place it with the sheep of Laban.
Gén.30.41. And it happened that many times they were in heat strongest sheep, Jacob laid the rods before the flock in the gutters, to conceive in the light of the rods.
Gén.30.42. But when the sheep came weaker, not put them, so the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s.
Gén.30.43. And the man became rich very much, and had large flocks, and male and female slaves, and camels and donkeys.
Gén.31.1. And Jacob heard the words of Laban’s sons, saying, Jacob has taken everything that was our father, and what was our father’s has acquired all this wealth.
Gén.31.2. Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and saw that it was not for him it had been before.
Gén.31.3. Also the Lord said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and thy kindred, and I will be with you.
Gén.31.4. He sent Jacob, and called Rachel and Leah to the field where his flock was,
Gén.31.5. and said: I see your father’s face is not toward me as before, but the God of my father has been with me.
Gén.31.6. You know that with all my power I have served your father;
Gén.31.7. and your father has cheated me and changed my wages ten times, but God has not allowed it to hurt me.
Gén.31.8. If he said thus, The speckled shall be your wages, then all the cattle bare speckled: and if he said thus: The listings will be your wages, then all the flock bore striped.
Gén.31.9. So God took away the cattle of your father, and gave it to me.
Gén.31.10. It happened that while the sheep were in heat, I lifted up my eyes and saw in a dream, and behold, the rams which leaped upon the flock were streaked, speckled, and grizzled.
Gén.31.11. And the angel said to me in a dream, ‘Jacob. And I said, I am here.
Gén.31.12. And he said, “Lift your eyes and see that all the rams which leap upon the flock are streaked, speckled, and grizzled: for I have seen all that Laban has done to you.
Gén.31.13. I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed the stone, and where I made a vow. Arise now and leave this land, and return to the land of your birth.
Gén.31.14. Rachel and Leah answered and said to him: Do we have any portion or inheritance in our father’s house?
Gén.31.15. Do not we already have as strange as that sold us, and hath also quite devoured our money?
Gén.31.16. For all the riches that God has taken from our father, is ours and our children now, then, do all that God has told you.
Gén.31.17. Then Jacob rose up, and went their sons and their wives on the camels
Gén.31.18. and he carried away all his cattle, and all he had purchased the cattle of his getting, which he obtained in Padanaram, to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.
Gén.31.19. But Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel stole the idols of his father.
Gén.31.20. And Jacob deceived Laban the Aramean, not letting him know he was leaving.
Gén.31.21. So he fled with all he had, and arose and crossed the Euphrates, and went to Mount Gilead.
Gén.31.22. On the third day Laban was told that Jacob had fled.
Gén.31.23. Laban took his relatives with him, and went after Jacob seven days’ journey, and overtook him in mount Gilead.
Gén.31.24. And God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream that night, and said, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
Gén.31.25. Reached, then, Laban to Jacob, and he had pitched his tent in the mountains: and Laban with his relatives camped at Mount Gilead.
Gén.31.26. And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that you deceived me, and carried away my daughters like prisoners of war?
Gén.31.27. Why did you flee secretly and deceive me, and I know you did so I fired you with joy and with songs, with tambourine and harp?
Gén.31.28. For even dajaste me to kiss my sons and my daughters. Now hast thou done foolishly.
Gén.31.29. Power is in my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spoke to me last night saying: Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
Gén.31.30. And you were going, because you wish your father’s house, why do you steal my gods?

Gén.39.2. But the Lord was with Joseph, and was a prosperous man, and was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
Gén.39.3. And his master saw that Jehovah was with him, and that everything he did, Jehovah made it prosper in his hand.
Gén.39.4. So Joseph found favor in his eyes, and served him and he made him overseer of his house and gave everything in his power he had.
Gén.39.5. And it came from when he gave the order to his house and everything he had, the Lord blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake, and the blessing of the LORD was on everything I had, so at home and in the field.
Gén.39.6. He left everything he had in Joseph’s hand, and he did not worry about anything but the bread he ate. Joseph was handsome face and beautiful presence.
Gén.39.7. Now after this, that his master’s wife cast her eyes on Joseph and said, Lie with me.
Gén.39.8. And he refused, and told the woman of his master: Behold, my master does not worry me what is in the house, and put my hand in everything he has.

Gén.39.11. pass that one day he came home to do his business, and there was nobody in the house there.

Gén.39.14. called the house, and said unto them, Behold, has brought us a Hebrew to that would make fun of us. He came to me to sleep with me, and I gave a loud voice;
Gén.39.15. and seeing that I raised my voice and cried, he left with me his clothes and fled and left.
Gén.39.16. And she laid beside him the clothes of Joseph, until his master came home.
Gén.39.17. Then she spoke these words, saying, The Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to mock.
Gén.39.18. And when I raised my voice and cried, he left his garment beside me and fled outside.
Gén.39.19. It happened that when he heard the owner of Joseph’s words that his wife spoke, saying, Thus thy servant to me, his wrath was kindled.
Gén.39.20. And Joseph’s master took her and put him in jail, where prisoners were the king, and was there in prison.
Gén.39.21. But the LORD was with Joseph and showed him mercy and gave him favor in the eyes of the chief jailer.
Gén.39.22. And the keeper of the prison delivered in Joseph’s hand all the care of prisoners that were in that prison, everything that was done there, he did.
Gén.39.23. No need to attend the chief jailer anything of those who were in the care of Joseph, because the Lord was with Joseph, and what he did, Jehovah made it prosper.
Gén.40.1. Now after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and the baker offended their lord the king of Egypt.
Gén.40.2. And Pharaoh was wroth against his two officers, against the chief butler and against the chief baker,
Gén.40.3. and placed in custody in the house of the captain of the guard in the prison where Joseph was confined.
Gén.40.4. And the captain of the guard ordered them to Joseph, and he served them, and were days in prison.
Gén.40.5. And both the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in prison, had a dream, each his own dream in one night, each with its own meaning.
Gén.40.6. Joseph came to them in the morning, and looked, and behold, it was sad.
Gén.40.7. And he asked Pharaoh to those officers who were with him in the prison house of his master, saying: Why your countenances seem wrong today?
Gén.40.8. They said: We had a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. Then Joseph said to them: Are not the interpretations of God? Contádmelo now.
Gén.40.9. Then the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said: I dreamed I saw a vine before me,
Gén.40.10. and in the vine were three branches, and it as springing, and threw a flower, coming to ripen their grapes.
Gén.40.11. And Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and squeezed into Pharaoh’s cup, and gave me the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.
Gén.40.12. And Joseph said: This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days.
Gén.40.13. Within three days Pharaoh will lift your head and restore you to your post, and give the cup to Pharaoh in his hand, as you used to when you were his cupbearer.
Gén.40.14. Remember therefore from me when you’re that good, and I beg you to use me for mercy, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house.
Gén.40.15. Because I was stolen from the land of the Hebrews, and I have done here why I brought to the jail.
Gén.40.16. Seeing the chief baker who had played for good, said to Joseph: I also dreamed I saw three white baskets on my head.
Gén.40.17. Highest in the basket had all sorts of pastry delicacies for Pharaoh, and the birds ate out of the basket on my head.
Gén.40.18. Then Joseph, and said, This is your interpretation: The three baskets are three days.
Gén.40.19. Within three days Pharaoh will remove your head about you and make you hang on the gallows, and the birds will eat your flesh from you.
Gén.40.20. On the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, the king made a feast unto all his servants, and looked up the chief butler and the head of the chief baker among his servants.
Gén.40.21. And he did return to his office to chief butler, and he placed the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.
Gén.40.22. But he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted.
Gén.40.23. And the chief butler remembered not Joseph, but forgot.
Gén.41.1. It happened two years later Pharaoh had a dream. He felt it was by the river;
Gén.41.2. and that the river rose seven cows, beautiful to the eye, and fat, and grazing in the meadow.
Gén.41.3. And after them came up the river seven cows, ugly and lean meat, and stood near the beautiful cows along the river;
Gén.41.4. and cows, ugly and lean meat devoured the seven good cows and fat. And Pharaoh awoke.
Gén.41.5. He fell asleep again and dreamed the second time, seven ears full and good cane growing on one,
Gén.41.6. and after them came seven thin ears and battered the east wind;
Gén.41.7. and the seven thin ears devoured the seven fat and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and behold it was a dream.
Gén.41.8. It happened that morning his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt and all its wise men and Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was none who could interpret them unto Pharaoh.
Gén.41.9. Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “Today I remember my faults.
Gén.41.10. When Pharaoh was angry with his servants, we burst into the prison house of the captain of the guard me and the chief baker.
Gén.41.11. And he and I had a dream in the night, and each dream had its own meaning.
Gén.41.12. He was there with us a young Hebrew, servant of the captain of the guard and told him, and he interpreted our dreams to us and said to each according to his dream.
Gén.41.13. It happened that as he interpreted to us, it was: I was restored to my office and the other was hanged.
Gén.41.14. Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph. And they brought him hastily out of jail, and he shaved, changed his clothes, and came to Pharaoh.
Gén.41.15. Pharaoh said to Joseph: I have had a dream, and no one who can interpret, but I hear you, you hear to interpret dreams.
Gén.41.16. Joseph said unto Pharaoh, saying: Not in me that God will give Pharaoh a favorable answer.
Gén.41.17. Then Pharaoh said to Joseph: In my dream I thought I was on the banks of the river;
Gén.41.18. and that the river rose seven cows, fat and good looks, which were grazing in the meadow.
Gén.41.19. And seven other cows came up after them, thin and very ugly, so exhausted, I have not seen the like in ugliness in all the land of Egypt.
Gén.41.20. And the thin cows ate up the first seven fat kine;
Gén.41.21. and they went into her womb, but not known who had entered, because the appearance of thin was still bad, as at first. And I woke up.
Gén.41.22. I saw a dream, seven ears growing on one stalk, full and good.
Gén.41.23. And a further seven thin ears, withered, battered the east wind, grew after them;
Gén.41.24. and the thin ears devoured the seven good ears and I said to the magicians, but no one I can interpret it.
Gén.41.25. Then Joseph said unto Pharaoh, Pharaoh’s dream is yourself, God has shown Pharaoh what he is doing.
Gén.41.26. The seven good cows are seven years; and good ears are seven years: the dream is you.
Gén.41.27. The seven thin cows that came up after them are seven years and seven thin ears and withered in the wind, are seven years of famine.
Gén.41.28. This is what I answer to Pharaoh. What God will do, it has shown to Pharaoh.
Gén.41.29. Here come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt.
Gén.41.30. And after them seven years of famine will follow, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and famine will consume the earth.
Gén.41.31. And that wealth is not going to see, following the famine which will be very serious.
Gén.41.32. And the Pharaoh’s dream happen twice, it means the firm thing from God, and God is quick to make.
Gén.41.33. Therefore let Pharaoh now a wise man and wise, and place on the land of Egypt.
Gén.41.34. Do this Pharaoh, and set governors over the country, and fifth the land of Egypt in the seven years of plenty.
Gén.41.35. And gather all the provision of these good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh for maintenance of cities, and Keep it.
Gén.41.36. And that provision is in trust for the country, for the seven years of famine which will in the land of Egypt, and the country does not perish from hunger.
Gén.41.37. The matter seemed good to Pharaoh and his servants,
Gén.41.38. and Pharaoh said to his servants: Is find another man like this, in whom is the spirit of God?
Gén.41.39. Pharaoh said to Joseph, Since God has shown you all this, there discerning and wise as you.
Gén.41.40. Thou shalt be over my house, and your word will govern all my people only in the throne will I be greater than you.
Gén.41.41. Pharaoh also said to Joseph: Behold I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
Gén.41.42. Then Pharaoh took his ring from his hand and put it on Joseph’s hand, and he did wear clothes of fine linen, and put a gold chain around his neck;
Gén.41.43. and he did ride in the second car, and they cried before him, Bow the knee! [Abrek, probably an Egyptian word similar in sound to the Hebrew word meaning to kneel] and put it on all the land of Egypt.
Gén.41.44. Pharaoh said to Joseph: I am Pharaoh, and without you none will raise her hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.
Gén.41.45. And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name, Zaphenath-pans, and gave him Asenath, daughter of Potiphera priest of On. And Joseph went throughout the land of Egypt.
Gén.41.46. Joseph was thirty years old when he was presented before Pharaoh king of Egypt, and Joseph went out from before Pharaoh, and went through all the land of Egypt.
Gén.41.47. During the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.
Gén.41.48. And he gathered all the food in the seven years of plenty occurred in the land of Egypt, and kept food in the cities, putting food in every city around the field.
Gén.41.49. Joseph stored up grain as the sand of the sea, much in the extreme, not being able to tell, because he had no number.
Gén.41.50. And to Joseph were born two sons before I came the first year of famine, which gave him Asenath, daughter of Potiphera priest of On.
Gén.41.51. And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh [that makes you forget], because he said God made me forget all my work, and all the house of my father.
Gén.41.52. And he called the name of the second, Ephraim [of a Hebrew word which means fruitful] because he said God made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.
Gén.41.53. This met the seven years of plenty occurred in the land of Egypt.
Gén.41.54. And they began to come seven years of famine, as Joseph had said: and there was hunger in all countries, but throughout the land of Egypt there was bread.
Gén.41.55. When he felt the hunger in all the land of Egypt, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread. And Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians: Go to Joseph and do what he says to you.
Gén.41.56. And the famine was spread throughout the country. Then Joseph opened all barn where he had, and sold to the Egyptians, for hunger had grown in the land of Egypt.
Gén.41.57. And of all the earth came to Egypt to buy from Joseph because the whole earth had grown hungry.
Gén.42.1. When Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt, told his children: Why are you staring at you?
Gén.42.2. And said, Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt; down thither, and buy from there for us, so we can live and not die.
Gén.42.3. And down the ten brothers of Joseph to buy corn in Egypt.
Gén.42.4. But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, with his brothers, for he said: Lest some disaster befall him.
Gén.42.5. The children of Israel came to buy among those that came, because there was famine in the land of Canaan.
Gén.42.6. And Joseph was lord of the earth, who sell to all the people of the earth: and Joseph’s brothers came and bowed down to him face to ground.
Gén.42.7. And Joseph, when he saw his brothers, knew, but pretended not to know them, and spoke harshly, and said: “Where did you come? They replied: From the land of Canaan to buy food.
Gén.42.8. Joseph then met his brothers, but they knew not him.
Gén.42.9. Joseph remembered the dreams he had had about them, and said, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
Gén.42.10. They replied: No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food.
Gén.42.11. We are all sons of one man, we are honest men, thy servants are no spies.
Gén.42.12. But Joseph said: No, to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
Gén.42.13. And they said, Thy servants are twelve brothers, sons of one man in the land of Canaan, and behold the youngest is now with our father, and one is not.
Gén.42.14. And Joseph said: That’s what I told you, saying, Ye are spies.
Gén.42.15. In this you will be tested: the life of Pharaoh, who did not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come here.
Gén.42.16. Send one of you and bring your brother and you kept in prison, and your words will be tested to see if there is truth in you, and if not, the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies.
Gén.42.17. And he put them in jail for three days.
Gén.42.18. On the third day Joseph said to them: Do this, and live: for I fear God.
Gén.42.19. If you are honest men, be imprisoned in the house of your prison one of your brothers, and you go and carry grain for the famine of your home.
Gén.42.20. But you will bring your youngest brother, and your words will be verified, and not die. And they did so.
Gén.42.21. And they said one to another We are verily guilty concerning our brother, for we saw the anguish of his soul when he besought us, and did not listen, that’s why we came over this anxiety.
Gén.42.22. And Reuben answered them, saying, “Do not Spake I not sin against the young, and not listen? Here we also demand their blood.
Gén.42.23. But they knew not that Joseph understood because there was an interpreter between them.
Gén.42.24. And Joseph turned away from them, and wept, then returned to them and spoke to them, and took from them Simeon, and imprisoned before their eyes.
Gén.42.25. Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with wheat, and to restore money for each of them into his sack and give them food for the road, and this was done with them.
Gén.42.26. And they put their grain on their donkeys, and went from there.
Gén.42.27. But one of them opened his sack to feed his donkey at the inn, saw the money that was in the mouth of his sack.
Gén.42.28. And he said unto his brethren, My money has been released, and here he is in my bag. Then they started the heart, and told startled each other: What is it that has made us God?
Gén.42.29. And they came to Jacob their father in the land of Canaan, they told him what had happened to them, saying:
Gén.42.30. The man, the lord of the land, spoke harshly to us and treated us as spies of the land.
Gén.42.31. And we said: We are honest, we are not spies.
Gén.42.32. We are twelve brothers, sons of our father, one is not, and the youngest is now with our father in the land of Canaan.
Gén.42.33. Then the man, the lord of the land, told us, shall I know that you are honest men: leave me one of your brethren, and take grain for the famine of your households, and go,
Gén.42.34. and bring me your youngest brother, that I know that you are not spies but honest men, so I will give to your brother, and trade in the land.
Gén.42.35. It happened as they emptied their sacks, behold, in the sac of each was the bundle of their money, and when they and their father the bundles of money, they were afraid.
Gén.42.36. Jacob their father said: I have deprived my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and will take Benjamin away; against me are all these things.
Gén.42.37. And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if you do not return it, return it in my hand, I will repay you.
Gén.42.38. And he said my son not go down with you, because his brother is dead, and he is left alone and if befall him in the road where you go, you will do down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.
Gén.43.1. Hunger was great in the earth;
Gén.43.2. and pass that when they had eaten the corn brought from Egypt, his father said, Go again, buy us some food.
Gén.43.3. Judah answered, saying, The man with a resolute spirit we protested, saying, Ye shall not see my face if you bring your brother with you.
Gén.43.4. If you send our brother with us, down and buy thee food.
Gén.43.5. But if you send them, not go down, because the man said we shall not see my face if you bring your brother with you.
Gén.43.6. Israel then said: Why did me much harm, telling the man you had another brother?
Gén.43.7. And they said, The man asked us specifically for us and for our family, saying, “your father still living? Do you have another brother? And I declare under these words. Did we know he would say, Bring your brother?
Gén.43.8. And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the boy with me and we’ll get up and go, so that we may live and not die, and you and our children.
Gén.43.9. I’ll answer for him, for me accountable. If I did not bring you back, and if not set before you, I will be for you to blame for ever;
Gén.43.10. for if we had not been arrested, he’d already returned twice.
Gén.43.11. Then their father Israel said unto them, Well, so now, do, take of the best land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present, a little balm, a little honey, flavorings and myrrh, nuts and almonds .
Gén.43.12. And take in your hands double money, and carry in your hand the money back into the mouths of your sacks, maybe it was an oversight.
Gén.43.13. Take also your brother, and arise, go again to the man.
Gén.43.14. And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, and you back your other brother and Benjamin. And if I be bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.
Gén.43.15. Then the men took that present, and took her hand in double money, and Benjamin, and got up and went down into Egypt, and stood before Joseph.
Gén.43.16. And Joseph saw Benjamin with them, and told the steward of his house: Bring these men home, and slaughtered a steer and prepare it, for these men shall dine with me at noon.
Gén.43.17. And he made the man as Joseph said, and led the men to Joseph’s house.
Gén.43.18. Then the men were afraid because they were brought to Joseph’s house, saying: For the money that was returned in our sacks the first time brought us here, we tend to bond, and attack us and take us for slaves to us, and our asses.
Gén.43.19. And they came to the steward of Joseph’s house, and talked to the driveway.
Gén.43.20. And they said, Oh, my lord, we actually came down the first to buy food.
Gén.43.21. It happened when we got to the inn and opened our sacks, behold, every man’s money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought back with us.
Gén.43.22. We have also brought other money in our hands to buy food, we do not know who put our money in our sacks.
Gén.43.23. He replied, “Peace to you, fear not: your God and the God of your father gave you treasure in your sacks, I received your money. And he brought Simeon to them.
Gén.43.24. And the man brought the men to Joseph’s house and gave them water and washed his feet and he fed their donkeys.
Gén.43.25. And they ready the meantime Jose coming at noon, they had heard that there were to eat bread.
Gén.43.26. And when Joseph came home, and they brought him the present which was in his hand inside the house, and bowed before him to the ground.
Gén.43.27. Joseph then asked how they were, and said: “Your father, you said the old man, loves? Is he still alive?
Gén.43.28. And they said: Well going to your servant our father is still alive. And they bowed and did reverence.
Gén.43.29. And raising his eyes Joseph saw Benjamin his brother, son of his mother, saying: Is this your youngest brother, whom you spoke? He said: God have mercy on you, son.
Gén.43.30. And Joseph made haste, because his bowels were moved because of his brother, and he sought where to mourn, and entered his chamber and wept there.
Gén.43.31. And he washed his face and went out and caught himself and said, Set on bread.
Gén.43.32. And they set for him by himself, and for them and for the Egyptians who ate with him, because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews, that is an abomination to the Egyptians.
Gén.43.33. And they sat before him, the highest according to their birthright, and the youngest according to his younger age and the men marveled facing each other.
Gén.43.34. And Joseph took everything on before him for them, but Benjamin’s portion was five times greater than any of them. And they drank, and rejoiced with him.
Gén.44.1. He ordered the steward of his house, saying, Fill the sacks of food these men, whatever they can carry, and put the money in each mouth of his sack.
Gén.44.2. And put my cup, the silver cup at the mouth of the sack of the youngest, with money from his wheat. And he did as Joseph said.
Gén.44.3. When morning came, the men were sent with their donkeys.
Gén.44.4. Having them out of the city, which had not been away, Joseph said to his steward, Up, follow after the men, and when the scope, tell them: Why have you returned evil for good? Why have you stolen my silver cup?
Gén.44.5. Is not that in which my lord drinketh, and that usually guess? You did what you did wrong.
Gén.44.6. When he reached, he said these words.
Gén.44.7. And they answered: Why does our lord these words? Far be thy servants do.
Gén.44.8. Behold, the money that we found in our sacks’ mouths, I brought back from the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy lord’s house silver or gold?
Gén.44.9. One of your servants whoever found the cup, die, and we also will be servants of my lord.
Gén.44.10. And he said now is also according to your words, one in whom it is found shall be my servant, and ye shall be blameless.
Gén.44.11. They then were quick, and down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
Gén.44.12. And he searched began at the eldest, and ending with the youngest, and the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.
Gén.44.13. Then they rent their garments, and charged each man his ass, and returned to the city.
Gén.44.14. Judah and his brethren came to Joseph’s house, which was still there, and fell down before him on the ground.
Gén.44.15. And Joseph said to them: What action is this you have done? Do you not know that a man as I can guess?
Gén.44.16. Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? What we’ll talk, or how shall we clear ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are servants of my lord, we, and also the one in whose possession the cup was found.
