+We know him by two means: First, by the creation, preservation, and government of the universe, since that universe is before our eyes like a beautiful book in which all creatures, great and small, are as letters to make us ponder the invisible things of God: his eternal power and his divinity, as the apostle Paul says in Romans 1:20. All these things are enough to convict men and to leave them without excuse. Second, he makes himself known to us more openly by his holy and divine Word, as much as we need in this life, for his glory and for the salvation of his own.

+
+**In the Old Testament,** the five books of Moses—Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy; the books of Joshua, Judges, Ruth; the two books of Samuel, the two books of Kings, the two books of Chronicles; the books of Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther; the book of Job, the Psalms, the three books of Solomon—Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, the Song of Songs; the five books of the four major prophets—Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel; the books of the twelve minor prophets—Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk,Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi.
+
+**In the New Testament,** the four Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, John; the Acts of the Apostles; the thirteen letters of Paul—to the Romans; the two letters to the Corinthians; to the Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians; the two letters to the Thessalonians; the two letters to Timothy; to Titus, Philemon; the letter to the Hebrews; the seven letters of the other apostles—one of James; two of Peter; three of John; one of Jude; and the Revelation of the apostle John.

+## Article 7: The Sufficiency of Scripture
+
+We believe that this Holy Scripture contains the will of God completely and that everything one must believe to be saved is sufficiently taught in it. For since the entire manner of service which God requires of us is described in it at great length, no one—even an apostle or an angel from heaven, as Paul says<sup>2</sup>—ought to teach other than what the Holy Scriptures have already taught us. For since it is forbidden to add to or subtract from the Word of God,<sup>3</sup> this plainly demonstrates that the teaching is perfect and complete in all respects. Therefore we must not consider human writings—no matter how holy their authors may have been—equal to the divine writings; nor may we put custom, nor the majority, nor age, nor the passage of time or persons, nor councils, decrees, or official decisions above the truth of God, for truth is above everything else. For all human beings are liars by nature and more vain than vanity itself. Therefore we reject with all our hearts everything that does not agree with this infallible rule, as we are taught to do by the apostles when they say, “Test the spirits to see if they are of God,”<sup>4</sup> and also, “If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house.”<sup>5</sup>

+## Article 8: The Trinity
+
+In keeping with this truth and Word of God we believe in one God, who is one single essence, in whom there are three persons, really, truly, and eternally distinct according to their incommunicable properties—namely, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Father is the cause, origin, and source of all things, visible as well as invisible. The Son is the Word, the Wisdom, and the image of the Father. The Holy Spirit is the eternal power and might, proceeding from the Father and the Son. Nevertheless, this distinction does not divide God into three, since Scripture teaches us that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit each has his own subsistence distinguished by characteristics—yet in such a way that these three persons are only one God. It is evident then that the Father is not the Son and that the Son is not the Father, and that likewise the Holy Spirit is neither the Father nor the Son.Nevertheless, these persons, thus distinct, are neither divided nor fused or mixed together. For the Father did not take on flesh, nor did the Spirit, but only the Son. The Father was never without his Son, nor without his Holy Spirit, since all these are equal from eternity, in one and the same essence. There is neither a first nor a last, for all three are one in truth and power, in goodness and mercy.

+## Article 9: The Scriptural Witness on the Trinity
+
+All these things we know from the testimonies of Holy Scripture as well as from the effects of the persons, especially from those we feel within ourselves. The testimonies of the Holy Scriptures, which teach us to believe in this Holy Trinity, are written in many places of the Old Testament, which need not be enumerated but only chosen with discretion. In the book of Genesis God says, “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness.” So “God created man in his own image”—indeed, “male and female he created them.”<sup>6</sup> “Behold, man has become like one of us.”<sup>7</sup> It appears from this that there is a plurality of persons within the Deity, when he says, “Let us make man in our image”—and afterwards he indicates the unity when he says, “God created.” It is true that he does not say here how many persons there are—but what is somewhat obscure to us in the Old Testament is very clear in the New. For when our Lord was baptized in the Jordan, the voice of the Father was heard saying, “This is my dear Son”;<sup>8</sup> the Son was seen in the water; and the Holy Spirit appeared in the form of a dove. So, in the baptism of all believers this form was prescribed by Christ: “Baptize all people in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”<sup>9</sup> In the Gospel according to Luke the angel Gabriel says to Mary, the mother of our Lord: “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and therefore that holy one to be born of you shall be called the Son of God.”<sup>10</sup> And in another place it says: “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you.”<sup>11</sup> “There are three who bear witness in heaven—the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit—and these three are one.”<sup>12</sup> In all these passages we are fully taught that there are three persons in the one and only divine essence. And although this doctrine surpasses human understanding, we nevertheless believe it now, through the Word, waiting to know and enjoy it fully in heaven. Furthermore, we must note the particular works and activities of these three persons in relation to us. The Father is called our Creator, by reason of his power. The Son is our Savior and Redeemer, by his blood. The Holy Spirit is our Sanctifier, by his living in our hearts. This doctrine of the holy Trinity has always been maintained in the true church, from the time of the apostles until the present, against Jews, Muslims, and certain false Christians and heretics, such as Marcion, Mani, Praxeas, Sabellius, Paul of Samosata, Arius, and others like them, who were rightly condemned by the holy fathers. And so, in this matter we willingly accept the three ecumenical creeds—the Apostles’, Nicene, and Athanasian—as well as what the ancient fathers decided in agreement with them.

+We believe that Jesus Christ, according to his divine nature, is the only Son of God—eternally begotten, not made nor created, for then he would be a creature. He is one in essence with the Father; coeternal; the exact image of the person of the Father and the “reflection of his glory,”<sup>13</sup> being in all things like him. He is the Son of God not only from the time he assumed our nature but from all eternity, as the following testimonies teach us when they are taken together. Moses says that God “created the world”;<sup>14</sup> and John says that “all things were created by the Word,”<sup>15</sup> which he calls God. The letter to the Hebrews says that “God made the world by his Son.”<sup>16</sup> Paul says that “God created all things by Jesus Christ.”<sup>17</sup> And so it must follow that he who is called God, the Word, the Son, and Jesus Christ already existed when all things were created by him. Therefore the prophet Micah says that his origin is “from ancient times, from eternity.”<sup>18</sup> And Hebrews says that he has “neither beginning of days nor end of life.”<sup>19</sup> So then, he is the true eternal God, the Almighty, whom we invoke, worship, and serve.

+We believe that the Father created heaven and earth and all other creatures from nothing, when it seemed good to him, by his Word—that is to say, by his Son. He has given all creatures their being, form, and appearance, and their various functions for serving their Creator. Even now he also sustains and governs them all, according to his eternal providence, and by his infinite power, that they may serve man, in order that man may serve God. He has also created the angels good, that they might be his messengers and serve his elect. Some of them have fallen from the excellence in which God created them into eternal perdition; and the others have persisted and remained in their original state, by the grace of God. The devils and evil spirits are so corrupt that they are enemies of God and of everything good. They lie in wait for the church and every member of it like thieves, with all their power, to destroy and spoil everything by their deceptions. So then, by their own wickedness they are condemned to everlasting damnation, daily awaiting their torments. For that reason we detest the error of the Sadducees, who deny that there are spirits and angels, and also the error of the Manicheans, who say that the devils originated by themselves, being evil by nature, without having been corrupted.

+
+We believe that this good God, after he created all things, did not abandon them to chance or fortune but leads and governs them according to his holy will, in such a way that nothing happens in this world without his orderly arrangement. Yet God is not the author of, nor can he be charged with, the sin that occurs. For his power and goodness are so great and incomprehensible that he arranges and does his work very well and justly even when the devils and wicked men act unjustly. We do not wish to inquire with undue curiosity into what he does that surpasses human understanding and is beyond our ability to comprehend. But in all humility and reverence we adore the just judgments of God, which are hidden from us, being content to be Christ’s disciples, so as to learn only what he shows us in his Word, without going beyond those limits. This doctrine gives us unspeakable comfort since it teaches us that nothing can happen to us by chance but only by the arrangement of our gracious heavenly Father. He watches over us with fatherly care, keeping all creatures under his control, so that not one of the hairs on our heads (for they are all numbered) nor even a little bird can fall to the ground without the will of our Father.<sup>20</sup> In this thought we rest, knowing that he holds in check the devils and all our enemies, who cannot hurt us without his permission and will. For that reason we reject the damnable error of the Epicureans, who say that God involves himself in nothing and leaves everything to chance.

+## Article 14: The Creation and Fall of Man
+
+We believe that God created man from the dust of the earth and made and formed him in his image and likeness—good, just, and holy; able by his own will to conform in all things to the will of God. But when he was in honor he did not understand it<sup>21</sup> and did not recognize his excellence. But he subjected himself willingly to sin and consequently to death and the curse, lending his ear to the word of the devil. For he transgressed the commandment of life, which he had received, and by his sin he separated himself from God, who was his true life, having corrupted his entire nature. So he made himself guilty and subject to physical and spiritual death, having become wicked, perverse, and corrupt in all his ways. He lost all his excellent gifts which he had received from God, and he retained none of them except for small traces which are enough to make him inexcusable. Moreover, all the light in us is turned to darkness, as the Scripture teaches us: “The light shone in the darkness, and the darkness did not receive it.”<sup>22</sup> Here John calls men “darkness.” Therefore we reject everything taught to the contrary concerning man’s free will, since man is nothing but the slave of sin and cannot do a thing unless it is “given him from heaven.”<sup>23</sup> For who can boast of being able to do anything good by himself, since Christ says, “No one can come to me unless my Father who sent me draws him”?<sup>24</sup> Who can glory in his own will when he understands that “the mind of the flesh is enmity against God”?<sup>25</sup> Who can speak of his own knowledge in view of the fact that “the natural man does not understand the things of the Spirit of God”?<sup>26</sup> In short, who can produce a single thought, since he knows that we are “not able to think a thing” about ourselves, by ourselves, but that “our ability is from God”?<sup>27</sup> And therefore, what the apostle says ought rightly to stand fixed and firm: “God works within us both to will and to do according to his good pleasure.”<sup>28</sup> For there is no understanding nor will conforming to God’s understanding and will apart from Christ’s work, as he teaches us when he says, “Without me you can do nothing.”<sup>29</sup>

The Son took the “form of a servant” and was made in the “likeness of man,”<sup>34</sup> truly assuming a real human nature, with all its weaknesses, except for sin; being conceived in the womb of the blessed virgin Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit, without male participation. And he not only assumed human nature as far as the body is concerned but also a real human soul, in order that he might be a real human being. For since the soul had been lost as well as the body he had to assume them both to save them both together. Therefore we confess, against the heresy of the Anabaptists who deny that Christ assumed human flesh from his mother, that he “shared the very flesh and blood of children”;<sup>35</sup> that he is “fruit of the loins of David” according to the flesh;<sup>36</sup> “born of the seed of David” according to the flesh;<sup>37</sup> “fruit of the womb of the virgin Mary”;<sup>38</sup> “born of a woman”;<sup>39</sup> “the seed of David”;<sup>40</sup> “a shoot from the root of Jesse”;<sup>41</sup> “the offspring of Judah,”<sup>42</sup> having descended from the Jews according to the flesh; “from the seed of Abraham”—for he “assumed Abraham’s seed” and was “made like his brothers except for sin.”<sup>43</sup> In this way he is truly our Immanuel—that is: “God with us.”<sup>44</sup>

+We believe that by being thus conceived the person of the Son has been inseparably united and joined together with human nature, in such a way that there are not two Sons of God, nor two persons, but two natures united in a single person, with each nature retaining its own distinct properties. Thus his divine nature has always remained uncreated, “without beginning of days or end of life,”<sup>45</sup> filling heaven and earth. His human nature has not lost its properties but continues to have those of a creature—it has a beginning of days; it is of a finite nature and retains all that belongs to a real body. And even though he, by his resurrection, gave it immortality, that nonetheless did not change the reality of his human nature; for our salvation and resurrection depend also on the reality of his body. But these two natures are so united together in one  person that they are not even separated by his death. So then, what he committed to his Father when he died was a real human spirit which left his body. But meanwhile his divine nature remained united with his human nature even when he was lying in the grave; and his deity never ceased to be in him, just as it was in him when he was a little child, though for a while it did not show itself as such. These are the reasons why we confess him to be true God and true man—true God in order to conquer death by his power, and true man that he might die for us in the weakness of his flesh.

For it is written that “the chastisement of our peace” was placed on the Son of God and that “we are healed by his wounds.” He was “led to death as a lamb”; he was “numbered among sinners”<sup>46</sup> and condemned as a criminal by Pontius Pilate, though Pilate had declared that he was innocent.

These works, proceeding from the good root of faith, are good and acceptable to God, since they are all sanctified by his grace. Yet they do not count toward our justification—for by faith in Christ we are justified, even before we do good works. Otherwise they could not be good, any more than the fruit of a tree could be good if the tree is not good in the first place. So then, we do good works, but not for merit—for what would we merit? Rather, we are indebted to God for the good works we do, and not he to us, since it is he who “works in us both to will and do according to his good pleasure”<sup>61</sup>—thus keeping in mind what is written: “When you have done all that is commanded you, then you shall say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have done what it was our duty to do.’”<sup>62</sup> Yet we do not wish to deny that God rewards good works—but it is by his grace that he crowns his gifts. Moreover, although we do good works we do not base our salvation on them; for we cannot do any work that is not defiled by our flesh and also worthy of punishment. And even if we could point to one, memory of a single sin is enough for God to reject that work. So we would always be in doubt, tossed back and forth without any certainty, and our poor consciences would be tormented constantly if they did not rest on the merit of the suffering and death of our Savior.

+## Article 26: The Intercession of Christ
+
+We believe that we have no access to God except through the one and only Mediator and Intercessor: Jesus Christ the Righteous.<sup>63</sup> He therefore was made man, uniting together the divine and human natures, so that we human beings might have access to the divine Majesty. Otherwise we would have no access. But this Mediator, whom the Father has appointed between himself and us, ought not terrify us by his greatness, so that we have to look for another one, according to our fancy. For neither in heaven nor among the creatures on earth is there anyone who loves us more than Jesus Christ does. Although he was “in the form of God,” he nevertheless “emptied himself,” taking the form of “a man” and “a servant” for us;<sup>64</sup> and he made himself “completely like his brothers.”<sup>65</sup> Suppose we had to find another intercessor. Who would love us more than he who gave his life for us, even though “we were his enemies”?<sup>66</sup> And suppose we had to find one who has prestige and power. Who has as much of these as he who is seated “at the right hand of the Father,”<sup>67</sup> and who has all power “in heaven and on earth”?<sup>68</sup> And who will be heard more readily than God’s own dearly beloved Son? So then, sheer unbelief has led to the practice of dishonoring the saints, instead of honoring them. That was something the saints never did nor asked for, but which in keeping with their duty, as appears from their writings, they consistently refused. We should not plead here that we are unworthy—for it is not a question of offering our prayers on the basis of our own dignity but only on the basis of the excellence and dignity of Jesus Christ, whose righteousness is ours by faith. Since the apostle for good reason wants us to get rid of this foolish fear—or rather, this unbelief—he says to us that Jesus Christ was “made like his brothers in all things,” that he might be a high priest who is merciful and faithful to purify the sins of the people.<sup>69</sup> For since he suffered, being tempted, he is also able to help those who are tempted.<sup>70</sup> And further, to encourage us more to approach him he says, “Since we have a high priest, Jesus the Son of God, who has entered into heaven, we maintain our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to have compassion for our weaknesses, but one who was tempted in all things, just as we are, except for sin. Let us go then with confidence to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace, in order to be helped.”<sup>71</sup> The same apostle says that we “have liberty to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus. Let us go, then, in the assurance of faith….”<sup>72</sup> Likewise, “Christ’s priesthood is forever. By this he is able to save completely those who draw near to God through him who always lives to intercede for them.”<sup>73</sup> What more do we need? For Christ himself declares: “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to my Father but by me.”<sup>74</sup> Why should we seek another intercessor? Since it has pleased God to give us his Son as our Intercessor, let us not leave him for another—or rather seek, without ever finding. For when God gave him to us he knew well that we were sinners. Therefore, in following the command of Christ we call on the heavenly Father through Christ, our only Mediator, as we are taught by the Lord’s Prayer, being assured that we shall obtain all we ask of the Father in his name.

+We believe and confess One single catholic or universal church—a holy congregation and gathering of true Christian believers, awaiting their entire salvation in Jesus Christ being washed by his blood, and sanctified and sealed by the Holy Spirit. This church has existed from the beginning of the world and will last until the end, as appears from the fact that Christ is eternal King who cannot be without subjects. And this holy church is preserved by God against the rage of the whole world, even though for a time it may appear very small in the eyes of men—as though it were snuffed out. For example, during the very dangerous time of Ahab the Lord reserved for himself seven thousand men who did not bend their knees to Baal.<sup>75</sup> And so this holy church is not confined, bound, or limited to a certain place or certain persons. But it is spread and dispersed throughout the entire world, though still joined and united in heart and will, in one and the same Spirit, by the power of faith.

And to preserve this unity more effectively, it is the duty of all believers, according to God’s Word, to separate themselves from those who do not belong to the church, in order to join this assembly wherever God has established it, even if civil authorities and royal decrees forbid and death and physical punishment result. And so, all who withdraw from the church or do not join it act contrary to God’s ordinance.

+## Article 29: The Marks of the True Church
+
+We believe that we ought to discern diligently and very carefully, by the Word of God, what is the true church—for all sects in the world today claim for themselves the name of “the church.” We are not speaking here of the company of hypocrites who are mixed among the good in the church and who nonetheless are not part of it, even though they are physically there. But we are speaking of distinguishing the body and fellowship of the true church from all sects that call themselves “the church.” The true church can be recognized if it has the following marks: The church engages in the pure preaching of the gospel; it makes use of the pure administration of the sacraments as Christ instituted them; it practices church discipline for correcting faults. In short, it governs itself according to the pure Word of God, rejecting all things contrary to it and holding Jesus Christ as the only Head. By these marks one can be assured of recognizing the true church—and no one ought to be separated from it. As for those who are of the church, we can recognize them by the distinguishing marks of Christians: namely by faith, and by their fleeing from sin and pursuing righteousness, once they have received the one and only Savior, Jesus Christ. They love the true God and their neighbors, without turning to the right or left, and they crucify the flesh and its works. Though great weakness remains in them, they fight against it by the Spirit all the days of their lives, appealing constantly to the blood, suffering, death, and obedience of the Lord Jesus, in whom they have forgiveness of their sins, through faith in him. As for the false church, it assigns more authority to itself and its ordinances than to the Word of God; it does not want to subject itself to the yoke of Christ; it does not administer the sacraments as Christ commanded in his Word; it rather adds to them or subtracts from them as it pleases; it bases itself on men, more than on Jesus Christ; it persecutes those who live holy lives according to the Word of God and who rebuke it for its faults, greed, and idolatry. These two churches are easy to recognize and thus to distinguish from each other.

For they are visible signs and seals of something internal and invisible, by means of which God works in us through the power of the Holy Spirit. So they are not empty and hollow signs to fool and deceive us, for their truth is Jesus Christ, without whom they would be nothing.

+## Article 34: The Sacrament of Baptism
+
+We believe and confess that Jesus Christ, in whom the law is fulfilled, has by his shed blood put an end to every other shedding of blood, which anyone might do or wish to do in order to atone or satisfy for sins. Having abolished circumcision, which was done with blood, he established in its place the sacrament of baptism. By it we are received into God’s church and set apart from all other people and alien religions, that we may be dedicated entirely to him, bearing his mark and sign. It also witnesses to us that he will be our God forever, since he is our gracious Father. Therefore he has commanded that all those who belong to him be baptized with pure water “in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.”<sup>77</sup> In this way he signifies to us that just as water washes away the dirt of the body when it is poured on us and also is seen on the body of the baptized when it is sprinkled on him, so too the blood of Christ does the same thing internally, in the soul, by the Holy Spirit. It washes and cleanses it from its sins and transforms us from being the children of wrath into the children of God. This does not happen by the physical water but by the sprinkling of the precious blood of the Son of God, who is our Red Sea, through which we must pass to escape the tyranny of Pharaoh, who is the devil, and to enter the spiritual land of Canaan. So ministers, as far as their work is concerned, give us the sacrament and what is visible, but our Lord gives what the sacrament signifies—namely the invisible gifts and graces; washing, purifying, and cleansing our souls of all filth and unrighteousness; renewing our hearts and filling them with all comfort; giving us true assurance of his fatherly goodness; clothing us with the “new man” and stripping off the “old,” with all its works. <sup>78</sup> For this reason we believe that anyone who aspires to reach eternal life ought to be baptized only once without ever repeating it—for we cannot be born twice. Yet this baptism is profitable not only when the water is on us and when we receive it but throughout our entire lives. For that reason we detest the error of the Anabaptists who are not content with a single baptism once received and also condemn the baptism of the children of believers. We believe our children ought to be baptized and sealed with the sign of the covenant, as little children were circumcised in Israel on the basis of the same promises made to our children. And truly, Christ has shed his blood no less for washing the little children of believers than he did for adults. Therefore they ought to receive the sign and sacrament of what Christ has done for them, just as the Lord commanded in the law that by offering a lamb for them the sacrament of the suffering and death of Christ would be granted them shortly after their birth. This was the sacrament of Jesus Christ. Furthermore, baptism does for our children what circumcision did for the Jewish people. That is why Paul calls baptism the “circumcision of Christ.”<sup>79</sup>

+## Article 35: The Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper
+
+We believe and confess that our Savior Jesus Christ has ordained and instituted the sacrament of the Holy Supper to nourish and sustain those who are already born again and ingrafted into his family: his church. Now those who are born again have two lives in them. The one is physical and temporal—they have it from the moment of their first birth, and it is common to all. The other is spiritual and heavenly, and is given them in their second birth; it comes through the Word of the gospel in the communion of the body of Christ; and this life is common to God’s elect only. Thus, to support the physical and earthly life God has prescribed for us an appropriate earthly and material bread, which is as common to all as life itself also is. But to maintain the spiritual and heavenly life that belongs to believers he has sent a living bread that came down from heaven: namely Jesus Christ, who nourishes and maintains the spiritual life of believers when eaten—that is, when appropriated and received spiritually by faith. To represent to us this spiritual and heavenly bread Christ has instituted an earthly and visible bread as the sacrament of his body and wine as the sacrament of his blood. He did this to testify to us that just as truly as we take and hold the sacraments in our hands and eat and drink it in our mouths, by which our life is then sustained, so truly we receive into our souls, for our spiritual life, the true body and true blood of Christ, our only Savior. We receive these by faith, which is the hand and mouth of our souls. Now it is certain that Jesus Christ did not prescribe his sacraments for us in vain, since he works in us all he represents by these holy signs, although the manner in which he does it goes beyond our understanding and is incomprehensible to us, just as the operation of God’s Spirit is hidden and incomprehensible. Yet we do not go wrong when we say that what is eaten is Christ’s own natural body and what is drunk is his own blood—but the manner in which we eat it is not by the mouth but by the Spirit, through faith. In that way Jesus Christ remains always seated at the right hand of God the Father in heaven—but he never refrains on that account to communicate himself to us through faith. This banquet is a spiritual table at which Christ communicates himself to us with all his benefits. At that table he makes us enjoy himself as much as the merits of his suffering and death, as he nourishes, strengthens, and comforts our poor, desolate souls by the eating of his flesh, and relieves and renews them by the drinking of his blood. Moreover, though the sacraments and the thing signified are joined together, not all receive both of them. The wicked person certainly takes the sacrament, to his condemnation, but does not receive the truth of the sacrament, just as Judas and Simon the Sorcerer both indeed received the sacrament, but not Christ, who was signified by it. He is communicated only to believers. Finally, with humility and reverence we receive the holy sacrament in the gathering of God’s people, as we engage together, with thanksgiving, in a holy remembrance of the death of Christ our Savior, and as we thus confess our faith and Christian religion. Therefore no one should come to this table without examining himself carefully, lest “by eating this bread and drinking this cup he eat and drink to his own judgment.”<sup>80</sup> In short, by the use of this holy sacrament we are moved to a fervent love of God and our neighbors. Therefore we reject as desecrations of the sacraments all the muddled ideas and damnable inventions that men have added and mixed in with them. And we say that we should be content with the procedure that Christ and the apostles have taught us and speak of these things as they have spoken of them.

+We believe that because of the depravity of the human race our good God has ordained kings, princes, and civil officers. He wants the world to be governed by laws and policies so that human lawlessness may be restrained and that everything may be conducted in good order among human beings. For that purpose he has placed the sword in the hands of the government, to punish evil people and protect the good. And being called in this manner to contribute to the advancement of a society that is pleasing to God, the civil rulers have the task, subject to God’s law, of removing every obstacle to the preaching of the gospel and to every aspect of divine worship. They should do this while completely refraining from every tendency toward exercising absolute authority, and while functioning in the sphere entrusted to them, with the means belonging to them. They should do it in order that the Word of God may have free course; the kingdom of Jesus Christ may make progress; and every anti-Christian power may be resisted.

+* Moreover everyone, regardless of status, condition, or rank, must be subject to the government, and pay taxes, and hold its representatives in honor and respect, and obey them in all things that are not in conflict with God’s Word, praying for them that the Lord may be willing to lead them in all their ways and that we may live a peaceful and quiet life in all piety and decency. And on this matter we denounce the Anabaptists, other anarchists, and in general all those who want to reject the authorities and civil officers and to subvert justice by introducing common ownership of goods and corrupting the moral order that God has established among human beings.

+Finally, we believe, according to God’s Word, that when the time appointed by the Lord is come (which is unknown to all creatures) and the number of the elect is complete, our Lord Jesus Christ will come from heaven, bodily and visibly, as he ascended, with great glory and majesty, to declare himself the judge of the living and the dead. He will burn this old world, in fire and flame, in order to cleanse it. Then all human creatures will appear in person before that great judge—men, women, and children, who have lived from the beginning until the end of the world. They will be summoned there by the voice of the archangel and by the sound of the divine trumpet.<sup>81</sup> For all those who died before that time will be raised from the earth, their spirits being joined and united with their own bodies in which they lived. And as for those who are still alive, they will not die like the others but will be changed “in the twinkling of an eye” from “corruptible to incorruptible.”<sup>82</sup> Then “the books” (that is, the consciences) will be opened, and the dead will be judged according to the things they did in the world,<sup>83</sup> whether good or evil. Indeed, all people will give account of all the idle words they have spoken,<sup>84</sup> which the world regards as only playing games. And then the secrets and hypocrisies of men will be publicly uncovered in the sight of all. Therefore, with good reason the thought of this judgment is horrible and dreadful to wicked and evil people. But it is very pleasant and a great comfort to the righteous and elect, since their total redemption will then be accomplished. They will then receive the fruits of their labor and of the trouble they have suffered; their innocence will be openly recognized by all; and they will see the terrible vengeance that God will bring on the evil ones who tyrannized, oppressed, and tormented them in this world. The evil ones will be convicted by the witness of their own consciences, and shall be made immortal—but only to be tormented in the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels.<sup>85</sup> In contrast, the faithful and elect will be crowned with glory and honor. The Son of God will “confess their names”<sup>86</sup> before God his Father and the holy and elect angels; all tears will be “wiped from their eyes”;<sup>87</sup> and their cause—at present condemned as heretical and evil by many judges and civil officers—will be acknowledged as the “cause of the Son of God.” And as a gracious reward the Lord will make them possess a glory such as the heart of man could never imagine. So we look forward to that great day with longing in order to enjoy fully the promises of God in Christ Jesus, our Lord.

+4. So Abram went, as the LORD had told him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.
+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people that they had acquired in Haran, and they set out to go to the land of Canaan. When they came to the land of Canaan,
+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. Abram passed through the land to the place at Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites were in the land.

+7. Then the LORD appeared to Abram and said, “To your offspring I will give this land.” So he built there an altar to the LORD, who had appeared to him.

+8. From there he moved to the hill country on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. And there he built an altar to the LORD and called upon the name of the LORD.
+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. And Abram journeyed on, still going toward the Negeb.

+10. Now there was a famine in the land. So Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was severe in the land.
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. When he was about to enter Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “I know that you are a woman beautiful in appearance,

+15. for all the land that you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever.

+12. He shall be a wild donkey of a man, his hand against everyone and everyone’s hand against him, and he shall dwell over against all his kinsmen.”

+1. When Abram was ninety-nine years old the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am God Almighty; walk before me, and be blameless,
+<a id="2" name="2"></a>
+2. that I may make my covenant between me and you, and may multiply you greatly.”
+<a id="3" name="3"></a>
+3. Then Abram fell on his face. And God said to him,
+<a id="4" name="4"></a>
+4. “Behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be the father of a multitude of nations.
+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham, for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.
+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make you into nations, and kings shall come from you.
+<a id="7" name="7"></a>
+7. And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your offspring after you.
+<a id="8" name="8"></a>
+8. And I will give to you and to your offspring after you the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession, and I will be their God.” 
+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. And God said to Abraham, “As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your offspring after you throughout their generations.
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your offspring after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised.
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you.
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. He who is eight days old among you shall be circumcised. Every male throughout your generations, whether born in your house or bought with your money from any foreigner who is not of your offspring,
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. both he who is born in your house and he who is bought with your money, shall surely be circumcised. So shall my covenant be in your flesh an everlasting covenant.
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. Any uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin shall be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant.” 
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. And God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.
+<a id="16" name="16"></a>
+16. I will bless her, and moreover, I will give you a son by her. I will bless her, and she shall become nations; kings of peoples shall come from her.”
+<a id="17" name="17"></a>
+17. Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed and said to himself, “Shall a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? Shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?”
+<a id="18" name="18"></a>
+18. And Abraham said to God, “Oh that Ishmael might live before you!”
+<a id="19" name="19"></a>
+19. God said, “No, but Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his offspring after him.
+<a id="20" name="20"></a>
+20. As for Ishmael, I have heard you; behold, I have blessed him and will make him fruitful and multiply him greatly. He shall father twelve princes, and I will make him into a great nation.
+<a id="21" name="21"></a>
+21. But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this time next year.” 
+<a id="22" name="22"></a>
+22. When he had finished talking with him, God went up from Abraham.
+<a id="23" name="23"></a>
+23. Then Abraham took Ishmael his son and all those born in his house or bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham’s house, and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskins that very day, as God had said to him.

+1. And the LORD appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat at the door of his tent in the heat of the day.
+<a id="2" name="2"></a>
+2. He lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing in front of him. When he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them and bowed himself to the earth
+<a id="3" name="3"></a>
+3. and said, “O Lord, if I have found favor in your sight, do not pass by your servant.
+<a id="4" name="4"></a>
+4. Let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree,
+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. while I bring a morsel of bread, that you may refresh yourselves, and after that you may pass on—since you have come to your servant.” So they said, “Do as you have said.”
+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. And Abraham went quickly into the tent to Sarah and said, “Quick! Three seahs of fine flour! Knead it, and make cakes.”
+<a id="7" name="7"></a>
+7. And Abraham ran to the herd and took a calf, tender and good, and gave it to a young man, who prepared it quickly.
+<a id="8" name="8"></a>
+8. Then he took curds and milk and the calf that he had prepared, and set it before them. And he stood by them under the tree while they ate. 
+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. They said to him, “Where is Sarah your wife?” And he said, “She is in the tent.”
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. The LORD said, “I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife shall have a son.” And Sarah was listening at the tent door behind him.
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. Now Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in years. The way of women had ceased to be with Sarah.
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. So Sarah laughed to herself, saying, “After I am worn out, and my lord is old, shall I have pleasure?”
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. The LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Shall I indeed bear a child, now that I am old?’
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you, about this time next year, and Sarah shall have a son.”
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. But Sarah denied it, saying, “I did not laugh,” for she was afraid. He said, “No, but you did laugh.” 
+<a id="16" name="16"></a>
+16. Then the men set out from there, and they looked down toward Sodom. And Abraham went with them to set them on their way.
+<a id="17" name="17"></a>
+17. The LORD said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do,
+<a id="18" name="18"></a>
+18. seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
+<a id="19" name="19"></a>
+19. For I have chosen him, that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing righteousness and justice, so that the LORD may bring to Abraham what he has promised him.”
+<a id="20" name="20"></a>
+20. Then the LORD said, “Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great and their sin is very grave,
+<a id="21" name="21"></a>
+21. I will go down to see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry that has come to me. And if not, I will know.” 
+<a id="22" name="22"></a>
+22. So the men turned from there and went toward Sodom, but Abraham still stood before the LORD.
+<a id="23" name="23"></a>
+23. Then Abraham drew near and said, “Will you indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked?
+<a id="24" name="24"></a>
+24. Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city. Will you then sweep away the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous who are in it?
+<a id="25" name="25"></a>
+25. Far be it from you to do such a thing, to put the righteous to death with the wicked, so that the righteous fare as the wicked! Far be that from you! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do what is just?”
+<a id="26" name="26"></a>
+26. And the LORD said, “If I find at Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will spare the whole place for their sake.” 
+<a id="27" name="27"></a>
+27. Abraham answered and said, “Behold, I have undertaken to speak to the Lord, I who am but dust and ashes.
+<a id="28" name="28"></a>
+28. Suppose five of the fifty righteous are lacking. Will you destroy the whole city for lack of five?” And he said, “I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there.”
+<a id="29" name="29"></a>
+29. Again he spoke to him and said, “Suppose forty are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of forty I will not do it.”
+<a id="30" name="30"></a>
+30. Then he said, “Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak. Suppose thirty are found there.” He answered, “I will not do it, if I find thirty there.”
+<a id="31" name="31"></a>
+31. He said, “Behold, I have undertaken to speak to the Lord. Suppose twenty are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of twenty I will not destroy it.”
+<a id="32" name="32"></a>
+32. Then he said, “Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak again but this once. Suppose ten are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of ten I will not destroy it.”

+1. The two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them and bowed himself with his face to the earth
+<a id="2" name="2"></a>
+2. and said, “My lords, please turn aside to your servant’s house and spend the night and wash your feet. Then you may rise up early and go on your way.” They said, “No; we will spend the night in the town square.”
+<a id="3" name="3"></a>
+3. But he pressed them strongly; so they turned aside to him and entered his house. And he made them a feast and baked unleavened bread, and they ate. 
+<a id="4" name="4"></a>
+4. But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both young and old, all the people to the last man, surrounded the house.
+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. And they called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, that we may know them.”
+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. Lot went out to the men at the entrance, shut the door after him,
+<a id="7" name="7"></a>
+7. and said, “I beg you, my brothers, do not act so wickedly.
+<a id="8" name="8"></a>
+8. Behold, I have two daughters who have not known any man. Let me bring them out to you, and do to them as you please. Only do nothing to these men, for they have come under the shelter of my roof.”
+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. But they said, “Stand back!” And they said, “This fellow came to sojourn, and he has become the judge! Now we will deal worse with you than with them.” Then they pressed hard against the man Lot, and drew near to break the door down.
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. But the men reached out their hands and brought Lot into the house with them and shut the door.
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. And they struck with blindness the men who were at the entrance of the house, both small and great, so that they wore themselves out groping for the door. 
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. Then the men said to Lot, “Have you anyone else here? Sons-in-law, sons, daughters, or anyone you have in the city, bring them out of the place.
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. For we are about to destroy this place, because the outcry against its people has become great before the LORD, and the LORD has sent us to destroy it.”
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. So Lot went out and said to his sons-in-law, who were to marry his daughters, “Up! Get out of this place, for the LORD is about to destroy the city.” But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be jesting. 
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. As morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be swept away in the punishment of the city.”
+<a id="16" name="16"></a>
+16. But he lingered. So the men seized him and his wife and his two daughters by the hand, the LORD being merciful to him, and they brought him out and set him outside the city.
+<a id="17" name="17"></a>
+17. And as they brought them out, one said, “Escape for your life. Do not look back or stop anywhere in the valley. Escape to the hills, lest you be swept away.”
+<a id="18" name="18"></a>
+18. And Lot said to them, “Oh, no, my lords.
+<a id="19" name="19"></a>
+19. Behold, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have shown me great kindness in saving my life. But I cannot escape to the hills, lest the disaster overtake me and I die.
+<a id="20" name="20"></a>
+20. Behold, this city is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one. Let me escape there—is it not a little one?—and my life will be saved!”
+<a id="21" name="21"></a>
+21. He said to him, “Behold, I grant you this favor also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken.
+<a id="22" name="22"></a>
+22. Escape there quickly, for I can do nothing till you arrive there.” Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar. 
+<a id="23" name="23"></a>
+23. The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
+<a id="24" name="24"></a>
+24. Then the LORD rained on Sodom and Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the LORD out of heaven.
+<a id="25" name="25"></a>
+25. And he overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground.
+<a id="26" name="26"></a>
+26. But Lot’s wife, behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. 
+<a id="27" name="27"></a>
+27. And Abraham went early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the LORD.
+<a id="28" name="28"></a>
+28. And he looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah and toward all the land of the valley, and he looked and, behold, the smoke of the land went up like the smoke of a furnace. 
+<a id="29" name="29"></a>
+29. So it was that, when God destroyed the cities of the valley, God remembered Abraham and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow when he overthrew the cities in which Lot had lived. 
+<a id="30" name="30"></a>
+30. Now Lot went up out of Zoar and lived in the hills with his two daughters, for he was afraid to live in Zoar. So he lived in a cave with his two daughters.
+<a id="31" name="31"></a>
+31. And the firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a man on earth to come in to us after the manner of all the earth.
+<a id="32" name="32"></a>
+32. Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve offspring from our father.”
+<a id="33" name="33"></a>
+33. So they made their father drink wine that night. And the firstborn went in and lay with her father. He did not know when she lay down or when she arose. 
+<a id="34" name="34"></a>
+34. The next day, the firstborn said to the younger, “Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let us make him drink wine tonight also. Then you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve offspring from our father.”
+<a id="35" name="35"></a>
+35. So they made their father drink wine that night also. And the younger arose and lay with him, and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.
+<a id="36" name="36"></a>
+36. Thus both the daughters of Lot became pregnant by their father.
+<a id="37" name="37"></a>
+37. The firstborn bore a son and called his name Moab. He is the father of the Moabites to this day.
+<a id="38" name="38"></a>

+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. and a mist was going up from the land and was watering the whole face of the ground—<a id="7" name="7"></a>
+7. then the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.
+<a id="8" name="8"></a>
+8. And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. And out of the ground the LORD God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became four rivers.
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. The name of the first is the Pishon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stone are there.
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. The name of the second river is the Gihon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Cush.
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. And the name of the third river is the Tigris, which flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates. 
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.
+<a id="16" name="16"></a>
+16. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden,
+<a id="17" name="17"></a>
+17. but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

+<a id="19" name="19"></a>

+<a id="20" name="20"></a>
+20. The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him.

+21. So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh.
+<a id="22" name="22"></a>
+22. And the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man.

+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. Did he not himself say to me, ‘She is my sister’? And she herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands I have done this.”

+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. And Abimelech said to Abraham, “What did you see, that you did this thing?”

+12. Besides, she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father though not the daughter of my mother, and she became my wife.

+# Genesis 21 
+<a id="1" name="1"></a>
+1. The LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did to Sarah as he had promised.
+<a id="2" name="2"></a>
+2. And Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age at the time of which God had spoken to him.
+<a id="3" name="3"></a>
+3. Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore him, Isaac.
+<a id="4" name="4"></a>
+4. And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. And Sarah said, “God has made laughter for me; everyone who hears will laugh over me.”
+<a id="7" name="7"></a>
+7. And she said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.” 
+<a id="8" name="8"></a>
+8. And the child grew and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. But Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, laughing.
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. So she said to Abraham, “Cast out this slave woman with her son, for the son of this slave woman shall not be heir with my son Isaac.”
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. And the thing was very displeasing to Abraham on account of his son.
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. But God said to Abraham, “Be not displeased because of the boy and because of your slave woman. Whatever Sarah says to you, do as she tells you, for through Isaac shall your offspring be named.
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. And I will make a nation of the son of the slave woman also, because he is your offspring.”
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. So Abraham rose early in the morning and took bread and a skin of water and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, along with the child, and sent her away. And she departed and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba. 
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. When the water in the skin was gone, she put the child under one of the bushes.
+<a id="16" name="16"></a>
+16. Then she went and sat down opposite him a good way off, about the distance of a bowshot, for she said, “Let me not look on the death of the child.” And as she sat opposite him, she lifted up her voice and wept.
+<a id="17" name="17"></a>
+17. And God heard the voice of the boy, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, “What troubles you, Hagar? Fear not, for God has heard the voice of the boy where he is.
+<a id="18" name="18"></a>
+18. Up! Lift up the boy, and hold him fast with your hand, for I will make him into a great nation.”
+<a id="19" name="19"></a>
+19. Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. And she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink.
+<a id="20" name="20"></a>
+20. And God was with the boy, and he grew up. He lived in the wilderness and became an expert with the bow.
+<a id="21" name="21"></a>
+21. He lived in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt. 
+<a id="22" name="22"></a>
+22. At that time Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army said to Abraham, “God is with you in all that you do.
+<a id="23" name="23"></a>
+23. Now therefore swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me or with my descendants or with my posterity, but as I have dealt kindly with you, so you will deal with me and with the land where you have sojourned.”
+<a id="24" name="24"></a>
+24. And Abraham said, “I will swear.” 
+<a id="25" name="25"></a>
+25. When Abraham reproved Abimelech about a well of water that Abimelech’s servants had seized,
+<a id="26" name="26"></a>
+26. Abimelech said, “I do not know who has done this thing; you did not tell me, and I have not heard of it until today.”
+<a id="27" name="27"></a>
+27. So Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a covenant.
+<a id="28" name="28"></a>
+28. Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock apart.
+<a id="29" name="29"></a>
+29. And Abimelech said to Abraham, “What is the meaning of these seven ewe lambs that you have set apart?”
+<a id="30" name="30"></a>
+30. He said, “These seven ewe lambs you will take from my hand, that this may be a witness for me that I dug this well.”
+<a id="31" name="31"></a>
+31. Therefore that place was called Beersheba, because there both of them swore an oath.
+<a id="32" name="32"></a>
+32. So they made a covenant at Beersheba. Then Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army rose up and returned to the land of the Philistines.
+<a id="33" name="33"></a>
+33. Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba and called there on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.
+<a id="34" name="34"></a>
+34. And Abraham sojourned many days in the land of the Philistines.

+1. After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.”
+<a id="2" name="2"></a>
+2. He said, “Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.”
+<a id="3" name="3"></a>
+3. So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and his son Isaac. And he cut the wood for the burnt offering and arose and went to the place of which God had told him.
+<a id="4" name="4"></a>
+4. On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place from afar.
+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. Then Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey; I and the boy will go over there and worship and come again to you.”
+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. And he took in his hand the fire and the knife. So they went both of them together.
+<a id="7" name="7"></a>
+7. And Isaac said to his father Abraham, “My father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “Behold, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”
+<a id="8" name="8"></a>
+8. Abraham said, “God will provide for himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they went both of them together. 
+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. When they came to the place of which God had told him, Abraham built the altar there and laid the wood in order and bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son.
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. But the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.”
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. He said, “Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.”
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him was a ram, caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son.
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. So Abraham called the name of that place, “The LORD will provide”; as it is said to this day, “On the mount of the LORD it shall be provided.” 
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time from heaven
+<a id="16" name="16"></a>
+16. and said, “By myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son,
+<a id="17" name="17"></a>
+17. I will surely bless you, and I will surely multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven and as the sand that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possess the gate of his enemies,
+<a id="18" name="18"></a>
+18. and in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice.”
+<a id="19" name="19"></a>
+19. So Abraham returned to his young men, and they arose and went together to Beersheba. And Abraham lived at Beersheba. 
+<a id="20" name="20"></a>
+20. Now after these things it was told to Abraham, “Behold, Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
+<a id="21" name="21"></a>
+21. Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
+<a id="22" name="22"></a>
+22. Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
+<a id="23" name="23"></a>
+23. (Bethuel fathered Rebekah.) These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
+<a id="24" name="24"></a>
+24. Moreover, his concubine, whose name was Reumah, bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.

+1. Sarah lived 127 years; these were the years of the life of Sarah.
+<a id="2" name="2"></a>
+2. And Sarah died at Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan, and Abraham went in to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her.
+<a id="3" name="3"></a>
+3. And Abraham rose up from before his dead and said to the Hittites,
+<a id="4" name="4"></a>
+4. “I am a sojourner and foreigner among you; give me property among you for a burying place, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.”
+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. The Hittites answered Abraham,
+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. “Hear us, my lord; you are a prince of God among us. Bury your dead in the choicest of our tombs. None of us will withhold from you his tomb to hinder you from burying your dead.”
+<a id="7" name="7"></a>
+7. Abraham rose and bowed to the Hittites, the people of the land.
+<a id="8" name="8"></a>
+8. And he said to them, “If you are willing that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me and entreat for me Ephron the son of Zohar,
+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. that he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he owns; it is at the end of his field. For the full price let him give it to me in your presence as property for a burying place.” 
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. Now Ephron was sitting among the Hittites, and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the Hittites, of all who went in at the gate of his city,
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. “No, my lord, hear me: I give you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it. In the sight of the sons of my people I give it to you. Bury your dead.”
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. Then Abraham bowed down before the people of the land.
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. And he said to Ephron in the hearing of the people of the land, “But if you will, hear me: I give the price of the field. Accept it from me, that I may bury my dead there.”
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. Ephron answered Abraham,
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. “My lord, listen to me: a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver, what is that between you and me? Bury your dead.”
+<a id="16" name="16"></a>
+16. Abraham listened to Ephron, and Abraham weighed out for Ephron the silver that he had named in the hearing of the Hittites, four hundred shekels of silver, according to the weights current among the merchants. 
+<a id="17" name="17"></a>
+17. So the field of Ephron in Machpelah, which was to the east of Mamre, the field with the cave that was in it and all the trees that were in the field, throughout its whole area, was made over

+18. to Abraham as a possession in the presence of the Hittites, before all who went in at the gate of his city.

+1. Now Abraham was old, well advanced in years. And the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
+<a id="2" name="2"></a>
+2. And Abraham said to his servant, the oldest of his household, who had charge of all that he had, “Put your hand under my thigh,
+<a id="3" name="3"></a>
+3. that I may make you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and God of the earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell,
+<a id="4" name="4"></a>
+4. but will go to my country and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son Isaac.”
+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. The servant said to him, “Perhaps the woman may not be willing to follow me to this land. Must I then take your son back to the land from which you came?”
+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. Abraham said to him, “See to it that you do not take my son back there.
+<a id="7" name="7"></a>
+7. The LORD, the God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house and from the land of my kindred, and who spoke to me and swore to me, ‘To your offspring I will give this land,’ he will send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.
+<a id="8" name="8"></a>
+8. But if the woman is not willing to follow you, then you will be free from this oath of mine; only you must not take my son back there.”
+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. So the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master and swore to him concerning this matter. 
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. Then the servant took ten of his master’s camels and departed, taking all sorts of choice gifts from his master; and he arose and went to Mesopotamia to the city of Nahor.
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. And he made the camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water at the time of evening, the time when women go out to draw water.
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. And he said, “O LORD, God of my master Abraham, please grant me success today and show steadfast love to my master Abraham.
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. Behold, I am standing by the spring of water, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water.
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. Let the young woman to whom I shall say, ‘Please let down your jar that I may drink,’ and who shall say, ‘Drink, and I will water your camels’—let her be the one whom you have appointed for your servant Isaac. By this I shall know that you have shown steadfast love to my master.” 
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. Before he had finished speaking, behold, Rebekah, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, came out with her water jar on her shoulder.
+<a id="16" name="16"></a>
+16. The young woman was very attractive in appearance, a maiden whom no man had known. She went down to the spring and filled her jar and came up.
+<a id="17" name="17"></a>
+17. Then the servant ran to meet her and said, “Please give me a little water to drink from your jar.”
+<a id="18" name="18"></a>
+18. She said, “Drink, my lord.” And she quickly let down her jar upon her hand and gave him a drink.
+<a id="19" name="19"></a>
+19. When she had finished giving him a drink, she said, “I will draw water for your camels also, until they have finished drinking.”
+<a id="20" name="20"></a>
+20. So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough and ran again to the well to draw water, and she drew for all his camels.
+<a id="21" name="21"></a>
+21. The man gazed at her in silence to learn whether the LORD had prospered his journey or not. 
+<a id="22" name="22"></a>
+22. When the camels had finished drinking, the man took a gold ring weighing a half shekel, and two bracelets for her arms weighing ten gold shekels,
+<a id="23" name="23"></a>
+23. and said, “Please tell me whose daughter you are. Is there room in your father’s house for us to spend the night?”
+<a id="24" name="24"></a>
+24. She said to him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.”
+<a id="25" name="25"></a>
+25. She added, “We have plenty of both straw and fodder, and room to spend the night.”
+<a id="26" name="26"></a>
+26. The man bowed his head and worshiped the LORD
+<a id="27" name="27"></a>
+27. and said, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his steadfast love and his faithfulness toward my master. As for me, the LORD has led me in the way to the house of my master’s kinsmen.”
+<a id="28" name="28"></a>
+28. Then the young woman ran and told her mother’s household about these things. 
+<a id="29" name="29"></a>
+29. Rebekah had a brother whose name was Laban. Laban ran out toward the man, to the spring.
+<a id="30" name="30"></a>
+30. As soon as he saw the ring and the bracelets on his sister’s arms, and heard the words of Rebekah his sister, “Thus the man spoke to me,” he went to the man. And behold, he was standing by the camels at the spring.
+<a id="31" name="31"></a>
+31. He said, “Come in, O blessed of the LORD. Why do you stand outside? For I have prepared the house and a place for the camels.”
+<a id="32" name="32"></a>
+32. So the man came to the house and unharnessed the camels, and gave straw and fodder to the camels, and there was water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.
+<a id="33" name="33"></a>
+33. Then food was set before him to eat. But he said, “I will not eat until I have said what I have to say.” He said, “Speak on.” 
+<a id="34" name="34"></a>
+34. So he said, “I am Abraham’s servant.
+<a id="35" name="35"></a>
+35. The LORD has greatly blessed my master, and he has become great. He has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male servants and female servants, camels and donkeys.
+<a id="36" name="36"></a>
+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.
+<a id="37" name="37"></a>
+37. My master made me swear, saying, ‘You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell,
+<a id="38" name="38"></a>
+38. but you shall go to my father’s house and to my clan and take a wife for my son.’
+<a id="39" name="39"></a>
+39. I said to my master, ‘Perhaps the woman will not follow me.’
+<a id="40" name="40"></a>
+40. But he said to me, ‘The LORD, before whom I have walked, will send his angel with you and prosper your way. You shall take a wife for my son from my clan and from my father’s house.
+<a id="41" name="41"></a>
+41. Then you will be free from my oath, when you come to my clan. And if they will not give her to you, you will be free from my oath.’ 
+<a id="42" name="42"></a>
+42. “I came today to the spring and said, ‘O LORD, the God of my master Abraham, if now you are prospering the way that I go,
+<a id="43" name="43"></a>
+43. behold, I am standing by the spring of water. Let the virgin who comes out to draw water, to whom I shall say, “Please give me a little water from your jar to drink,”
+<a id="44" name="44"></a>
+44. and who will say to me, “Drink, and I will draw for your camels also,” let her be the woman whom the LORD has appointed for my master’s son.’ 
+<a id="45" name="45"></a>
+45. “Before I had finished speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came out with her water jar on her shoulder, and she went down to the spring and drew water. I said to her, ‘Please let me drink.’
+<a id="46" name="46"></a>
+46. She quickly let down her jar from her shoulder and said, ‘Drink, and I will give your camels drink also.’ So I drank, and she gave the camels drink also.
+<a id="47" name="47"></a>
+47. Then I asked her, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ She said, ‘The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bore to him.’ So I put the ring on her nose and the bracelets on her arms.
+<a id="48" name="48"></a>
+48. Then I bowed my head and worshiped the LORD and blessed the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me by the right way to take the daughter of my master’s kinsman for his son.
+<a id="49" name="49"></a>
+49. Now then, if you are going to show steadfast love and faithfulness to my master, tell me; and if not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand or to the left.” 
+<a id="50" name="50"></a>
+50. Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, “The thing has come from the LORD; we cannot speak to you bad or good.
+<a id="51" name="51"></a>
+51. Behold, Rebekah is before you; take her and go, and let her be the wife of your master’s son, as the LORD has spoken.” 
+<a id="52" name="52"></a>
+52. When Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed himself to the earth before the LORD.
+<a id="53" name="53"></a>
+53. And the servant brought out jewelry of silver and of gold, and garments, and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave to her brother and to her mother costly ornaments.
+<a id="54" name="54"></a>
+54. And he and the men who were with him ate and drank, and they spent the night there. When they arose in the morning, he said, “Send me away to my master.”
+<a id="55" name="55"></a>
+55. Her brother and her mother said, “Let the young woman remain with us a while, at least ten days; after that she may go.”
+<a id="56" name="56"></a>
+56. But he said to them, “Do not delay me, since the LORD has prospered my way. Send me away that I may go to my master.”
+<a id="57" name="57"></a>
+57. They said, “Let us call the young woman and ask her.”
+<a id="58" name="58"></a>
+58. And they called Rebekah and said to her, “Will you go with this man?” She said, “I will go.”
+<a id="59" name="59"></a>
+59. So they sent away Rebekah their sister and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant and his men.
+<a id="60" name="60"></a>
+60. And they blessed Rebekah and said to her, “Our sister, may you become thousands of ten thousands, and may your offspring possess the gate of those who hate him!” 
+<a id="61" name="61"></a>
+61. Then Rebekah and her young women arose and rode on the camels and followed the man. Thus the servant took Rebekah and went his way. 
+<a id="62" name="62"></a>
+62. Now Isaac had returned from Beer-lahai-roi and was dwelling in the Negeb.
+<a id="63" name="63"></a>
+63. And Isaac went out to meditate in the field toward evening. And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, there were camels coming.
+<a id="64" name="64"></a>
+64. And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she dismounted from the camel
+<a id="65" name="65"></a>
+65. and said to the servant, “Who is that man, walking in the field to meet us?” The servant said, “It is my master.” So she took her veil and covered herself.
+<a id="66" name="66"></a>
+66. And the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.
+<a id="67" name="67"></a>
+67. Then Isaac brought her into the tent of Sarah his mother and took Rebekah, and she became his wife, and he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.

+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. the field that Abraham purchased from the Hittites. There Abraham was buried, with Sarah his wife.
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. After the death of Abraham, God blessed Isaac his son. And Isaac settled at Beer-lahai-roi. 
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. These are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s servant, bore to Abraham.
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, named in the order of their birth: Nebaioth, the firstborn of Ishmael; and Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
+<a id="16" name="16"></a>
+16. These are the sons of Ishmael and these are their names, by their villages and by their encampments, twelve princes according to their tribes.
+<a id="17" name="17"></a>
+17. (These are the years of the life of Ishmael: 137 years. He breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.)
+<a id="18" name="18"></a>
+18. They settled from Havilah to Shur, which is opposite Egypt in the direction of Assyria. He settled over against all his kinsmen. 
+<a id="19" name="19"></a>
+19. These are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham fathered Isaac,
+<a id="20" name="20"></a>
+20. and Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean, to be his wife.
+<a id="21" name="21"></a>
+21. And Isaac prayed to the LORD for his wife, because she was barren. And the LORD granted his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
+<a id="22" name="22"></a>
+22. The children struggled together within her, and she said, “If it is thus, why is this happening to me?” So she went to inquire of the LORD.
+<a id="23" name="23"></a>
+23. And the LORD said to her, “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the older shall serve the younger.” 
+<a id="24" name="24"></a>
+24. When her days to give birth were completed, behold, there were twins in her womb.
+<a id="25" name="25"></a>
+25. The first came out red, all his body like a hairy cloak, so they called his name Esau.
+<a id="26" name="26"></a>
+26. Afterward his brother came out with his hand holding Esau’s heel, so his name was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them. 
+<a id="27" name="27"></a>
+27. When the boys grew up, Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man, dwelling in tents.
+<a id="28" name="28"></a>
+28. Isaac loved Esau because he ate of his game, but Rebekah loved Jacob. 
+<a id="29" name="29"></a>
+29. Once when Jacob was cooking stew, Esau came in from the field, and he was exhausted.
+<a id="30" name="30"></a>
+30. And Esau said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am exhausted!” (Therefore his name was called Edom.)
+<a id="31" name="31"></a>
+31. Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright now.”
+<a id="32" name="32"></a>
+32. Esau said, “I am about to die; of what use is a birthright to me?”
+<a id="33" name="33"></a>
+33. Jacob said, “Swear to me now.” So he swore to him and sold his birthright to Jacob.
+<a id="34" name="34"></a>
+34. Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew, and he ate and drank and rose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.

+1. Now there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Gerar to Abimelech king of the Philistines.
+<a id="2" name="2"></a>
+2. And the LORD appeared to him and said, “Do not go down to Egypt; dwell in the land of which I shall tell you.
+<a id="3" name="3"></a>
+3. Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you and will bless you, for to you and to your offspring I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath that I swore to Abraham your father.
+<a id="4" name="4"></a>
+4. I will multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven and will give to your offspring all these lands. And in your offspring all the nations of the earth shall be blessed,
+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. because Abraham obeyed my voice and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.” 
+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. So Isaac settled in Gerar.
+<a id="7" name="7"></a>
+7. When the men of the place asked him about his wife, he said, “She is my sister,” for he feared to say, “My wife,” thinking, “lest the men of the place should kill me because of Rebekah,” because she was attractive in appearance.
+<a id="8" name="8"></a>
+8. When he had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out of a window and saw Isaac laughing with Rebekah his wife.
+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. So Abimelech called Isaac and said, “Behold, she is your wife. How then could you say, ‘She is my sister’?” Isaac said to him, “Because I thought, ‘Lest I die because of her.’”
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. Abimelech said, “What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us.”
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. So Abimelech warned all the people, saying, “Whoever touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.” 
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. And Isaac sowed in that land and reaped in the same year a hundredfold. The LORD blessed him,
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. and the man became rich, and gained more and more until he became very wealthy.
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. He had possessions of flocks and herds and many servants, so that the Philistines envied him.
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. (Now the Philistines had stopped and filled with earth all the wells that his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father.)
+<a id="16" name="16"></a>
+16. And Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for you are much mightier than we.” 
+<a id="17" name="17"></a>
+17. So Isaac departed from there and encamped in the Valley of Gerar and settled there.
+<a id="18" name="18"></a>
+18. And Isaac dug again the wells of water that had been dug in the days of Abraham his father, which the Philistines had stopped after the death of Abraham. And he gave them the names that his father had given them.
+<a id="19" name="19"></a>
+19. But when Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found there a well of spring water,
+<a id="20" name="20"></a>
+20. the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, “The water is ours.” So he called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.
+<a id="21" name="21"></a>
+21. Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that also, so he called its name Sitnah.
+<a id="22" name="22"></a>
+22. And he moved from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. So he called its name Rehoboth, saying, “For now the LORD has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.” 
+<a id="23" name="23"></a>
+23. From there he went up to Beersheba.
+<a id="24" name="24"></a>
+24. And the LORD appeared to him the same night and said, “I am the God of Abraham your father. Fear not, for I am with you and will bless you and multiply your offspring for my servant Abraham’s sake.”
+<a id="25" name="25"></a>
+25. So he built an altar there and called upon the name of the LORD and pitched his tent there. And there Isaac’s servants dug a well. 
+<a id="26" name="26"></a>
+26. When Abimelech went to him from Gerar with Ahuzzath his adviser and Phicol the commander of his army,
+<a id="27" name="27"></a>
+27. Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me, seeing that you hate me and have sent me away from you?”
+<a id="28" name="28"></a>
+28. They said, “We see plainly that the LORD has been with you. So we said, let there be a sworn pact between us, between you and us, and let us make a covenant with you,
+<a id="29" name="29"></a>
+29. that you will do us no harm, just as we have not touched you and have done to you nothing but good and have sent you away in peace. You are now the blessed of the LORD.”
+<a id="30" name="30"></a>
+30. So he made them a feast, and they ate and drank.
+<a id="31" name="31"></a>
+31. In the morning they rose early and exchanged oaths. And Isaac sent them on their way, and they departed from him in peace.
+<a id="32" name="32"></a>
+32. That same day Isaac’s servants came and told him about the well that they had dug and said to him, “We have found water.”
+<a id="33" name="33"></a>
+33. He called it Shibah; therefore the name of the city is Beersheba to this day. 
+<a id="34" name="34"></a>
+34. When Esau was forty years old, he took Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite to be his wife, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite,
+<a id="35" name="35"></a>
+35. and they made life bitter for Isaac and Rebekah.

+1. When Isaac was old and his eyes were dim so that he could not see, he called Esau his older son and said to him, “My son”; and he answered, “Here I am.”
+<a id="2" name="2"></a>
+2. He said, “Behold, I am old; I do not know the day of my death.
+<a id="3" name="3"></a>
+3. Now then, take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me,
+<a id="4" name="4"></a>
+4. and prepare for me delicious food, such as I love, and bring it to me so that I may eat, that my soul may bless you before I die.” 
+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. Now Rebekah was listening when Isaac spoke to his son Esau. So when Esau went to the field to hunt for game and bring it,
+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “I heard your father speak to your brother Esau,
+<a id="7" name="7"></a>
+7. ‘Bring me game and prepare for me delicious food, that I may eat it and bless you before the LORD before I die.’
+<a id="8" name="8"></a>
+8. Now therefore, my son, obey my voice as I command you.
+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. Go to the flock and bring me two good young goats, so that I may prepare from them delicious food for your father, such as he loves.
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. And you shall bring it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before he dies.”
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. But Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Behold, my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. Perhaps my father will feel me, and I shall seem to be mocking him and bring a curse upon myself and not a blessing.”
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. His mother said to him, “Let your curse be on me, my son; only obey my voice, and go, bring them to me.” 
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. So he went and took them and brought them to his mother, and his mother prepared delicious food, such as his father loved.
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. Then Rebekah took the best garments of Esau her older son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son.
+<a id="16" name="16"></a>
+16. And the skins of the young goats she put on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.
+<a id="17" name="17"></a>
+17. And she put the delicious food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob. 
+<a id="18" name="18"></a>
+18. So he went in to his father and said, “My father.” And he said, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?”
+<a id="19" name="19"></a>
+19. Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn. I have done as you told me; now sit up and eat of my game, that your soul may bless me.”
+<a id="20" name="20"></a>
+20. But Isaac said to his son, “How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?” He answered, “Because the LORD your God granted me success.”
+<a id="21" name="21"></a>
+21. Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, to know whether you are really my son Esau or not.”
+<a id="22" name="22"></a>
+22. So Jacob went near to Isaac his father, who felt him and said, “The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”
+<a id="23" name="23"></a>
+23. And he did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau’s hands. So he blessed him.
+<a id="24" name="24"></a>
+24. He said, “Are you really my son Esau?” He answered, “I am.”
+<a id="25" name="25"></a>
+25. Then he said, “Bring it near to me, that I may eat of my son’s game and bless you.” So he brought it near to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank. 
+<a id="26" name="26"></a>
+26. Then his father Isaac said to him, “Come near and kiss me, my son.”
+<a id="27" name="27"></a>
+27. So he came near and kissed him. And Isaac smelled the smell of his garments and blessed him and said, “See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field that the LORD has blessed! 
+<a id="28" name="28"></a>
+28. May God give you of the dew of heaven and of the fatness of the earth and plenty of grain and wine. 
+<a id="29" name="29"></a>
+29. Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, and may your mother’s sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you, and blessed be everyone who blesses you!” 
+<a id="30" name="30"></a>
+30. As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, when Jacob had scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
+<a id="31" name="31"></a>
+31. He also prepared delicious food and brought it to his father. And he said to his father, “Let my father arise and eat of his son’s game, that you may bless me.”
+<a id="32" name="32"></a>
+32. His father Isaac said to him, “Who are you?” He answered, “I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.”
+<a id="33" name="33"></a>
+33. Then Isaac trembled very violently and said, “Who was it then that hunted game and brought it to me, and I ate it all before you came, and I have blessed him? Yes, and he shall be blessed.”
+<a id="34" name="34"></a>
+34. As soon as Esau heard the words of his father, he cried out with an exceedingly great and bitter cry and said to his father, “Bless me, even me also, O my father!”
+<a id="35" name="35"></a>
+35. But he said, “Your brother came deceitfully, and he has taken away your blessing.”
+<a id="36" name="36"></a>
+36. Esau said, “Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has cheated me these two times. He took away my birthright, and behold, now he has taken away my blessing.” Then he said, “Have you not reserved a blessing for me?”
+<a id="37" name="37"></a>
+37. Isaac answered and said to Esau, “Behold, I have made him lord over you, and all his brothers I have given to him for servants, and with grain and wine I have sustained him. What then can I do for you, my son?”
+<a id="38" name="38"></a>
+38. Esau said to his father, “Have you but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, O my father.” And Esau lifted up his voice and wept. 
+<a id="39" name="39"></a>
+39. Then Isaac his father answered and said to him: “Behold, away from the fatness of the earth shall your dwelling be, and away from the dew of heaven on high. 
+<a id="40" name="40"></a>
+40. By your sword you shall live, and you shall serve your brother; but when you grow restless you shall break his yoke from your neck.” 
+<a id="41" name="41"></a>
+41. Now Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him, and Esau said to himself, “The days of mourning for my father are approaching; then I will kill my brother Jacob.”
+<a id="42" name="42"></a>
+42. But the words of Esau her older son were told to Rebekah. So she sent and called Jacob her younger son and said to him, “Behold, your brother Esau comforts himself about you by planning to kill you.
+<a id="43" name="43"></a>
+43. Now therefore, my son, obey my voice. Arise, flee to Laban my brother in Haran
+<a id="44" name="44"></a>
+44. and stay with him a while, until your brother’s fury turns away—<a id="45" name="45"></a>
+45. until your brother’s anger turns away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send and bring you from there. Why should I be bereft of you both in one day?” 
+<a id="46" name="46"></a>
+46. Then Rebekah said to Isaac, “I loathe my life because of the Hittite women. If Jacob marries one of the Hittite women like these, one of the women of the land, what good will my life be to me?”

+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan-aram to take a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he directed him, “You must not take a wife from the Canaanite women,”
+<a id="7" name="7"></a>
+7. and that Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother and gone to Paddan-aram.
+<a id="8" name="8"></a>
+8. So when Esau saw that the Canaanite women did not please Isaac his father,

+9. Esau went to Ishmael and took as his wife, besides the wives he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth. 
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. Jacob left Beersheba and went toward Haran.
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. And he came to a certain place and stayed there that night, because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones of the place, he put it under his head and lay down in that place to sleep.
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. And he dreamed, and behold, there was a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven. And behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it!
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. And behold, the LORD stood above it and said, “I am the LORD, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac. The land on which you lie I will give to you and to your offspring.
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. Your offspring shall be like the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south, and in you and your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

+15. Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land. For I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”

+16. Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it.”

+1. Then Jacob went on his journey and came to the land of the people of the east.
+<a id="2" name="2"></a>
+2. As he looked, he saw a well in the field, and behold, three flocks of sheep lying beside it, for out of that well the flocks were watered. The stone on the well’s mouth was large,
+<a id="3" name="3"></a>
+3. and when all the flocks were gathered there, the shepherds would roll the stone from the mouth of the well and water the sheep, and put the stone back in its place over the mouth of the well. 
+<a id="4" name="4"></a>
+4. Jacob said to them, “My brothers, where do you come from?” They said, “We are from Haran.”
+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. He said to them, “Do you know Laban the son of Nahor?” They said, “We know him.”
+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. He said to them, “Is it well with him?” They said, “It is well; and see, Rachel his daughter is coming with the sheep!”
+<a id="7" name="7"></a>
+7. He said, “Behold, it is still high day; it is not time for the livestock to be gathered together. Water the sheep and go, pasture them.”
+<a id="8" name="8"></a>
+8. But they said, “We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together and the stone is rolled from the mouth of the well; then we water the sheep.” 
+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. While he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she was a shepherdess.
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. Now as soon as Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother’s brother, Jacob came near and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother.
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. Then Jacob kissed Rachel and wept aloud.
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s kinsman, and that he was Rebekah’s son, and she ran and told her father. 
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. As soon as Laban heard the news about Jacob, his sister’s son, he ran to meet him and embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things,
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. and Laban said to him, “Surely you are my bone and my flesh!” And he stayed with him a month. 
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. Then Laban said to Jacob, “Because you are my kinsman, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall your wages be?”
+<a id="16" name="16"></a>
+16. Now Laban had two daughters. The name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
+<a id="17" name="17"></a>
+17. Leah’s eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in form and appearance.
+<a id="18" name="18"></a>
+18. Jacob loved Rachel. And he said, “I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.”
+<a id="19" name="19"></a>
+19. Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to any other man; stay with me.”
+<a id="20" name="20"></a>
+20. So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed to him but a few days because of the love he had for her. 
+<a id="21" name="21"></a>
+21. Then Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife that I may go in to her, for my time is completed.”
+<a id="22" name="22"></a>
+22. So Laban gathered together all the people of the place and made a feast.
+<a id="23" name="23"></a>
+23. But in the evening he took his daughter Leah and brought her to Jacob, and he went in to her.

+25. And in the morning, behold, it was Leah! And Jacob said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? Did I not serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?”
+<a id="26" name="26"></a>
+26. Laban said, “It is not so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
+<a id="27" name="27"></a>
+27. Complete the week of this one, and we will give you the other also in return for serving me another seven years.”
+<a id="28" name="28"></a>
+28. Jacob did so, and completed her week. Then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to be his wife.
+<a id="29" name="29"></a>
+29. (Laban gave his female servant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel to be her servant.)
+<a id="30" name="30"></a>
+30. So Jacob went in to Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more than Leah, and served Laban for another seven years. 
+<a id="31" name="31"></a>
+31. When the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.
+<a id="32" name="32"></a>
+32. And Leah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben, for she said, “Because the LORD has looked upon my affliction; for now my husband will love me.”
+<a id="33" name="33"></a>
+33. She conceived again and bore a son, and said, “Because the LORD has heard that I am hated, he has given me this son also.” And she called his name Simeon.
+<a id="34" name="34"></a>
+34. Again she conceived and bore a son, and said, “Now this time my husband will be attached to me, because I have borne him three sons.” Therefore his name was called Levi.
+<a id="35" name="35"></a>
+35. And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, “This time I will praise the LORD.” Therefore she called his name Judah. Then she ceased bearing.

+1. Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?”
+<a id="2" name="2"></a>
+2. And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden,
+<a id="3" name="3"></a>
+3. but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’”
+<a id="4" name="4"></a>
+4. But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die.
+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.
+<a id="7" name="7"></a>
+7. Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths. 
+<a id="8" name="8"></a>
+8. And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.
+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. But the LORD God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?”
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. And he said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.”
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?”
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.”
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. Then the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” 
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. The LORD God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. 
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.” 
+<a id="16" name="16"></a>
+16. To the woman he said, “I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be contrary to your husband, but he shall rule over you.” 
+<a id="17" name="17"></a>
+17. And to Adam he said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ cursed is the ground because of you; in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life; 
+<a id="18" name="18"></a>
+18. thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you; and you shall eat the plants of the field. 
+<a id="19" name="19"></a>
+19. By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” 
+<a id="20" name="20"></a>
+20. The man called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.
+<a id="21" name="21"></a>
+21. And the LORD God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them. 
+<a id="22" name="22"></a>
+22. Then the LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat, and live forever—”
+<a id="23" name="23"></a>
+23. therefore the LORD God sent him out from the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken.
+<a id="24" name="24"></a>
+24. He drove out the man, and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim and a flaming sword that turned every way to guard the way to the tree of life.

+1. When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, she envied her sister. She said to Jacob, “Give me children, or I shall die!”
+<a id="2" name="2"></a>
+2. Jacob’s anger was kindled against Rachel, and he said, “Am I in the place of God, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?”
+<a id="3" name="3"></a>
+3. Then she said, “Here is my servant Bilhah; go in to her, so that she may give birth on my behalf, that even I may have children through her.”
+<a id="4" name="4"></a>
+4. So she gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob went in to her.
+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. And Bilhah conceived and bore Jacob a son.
+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. Then Rachel said, “God has judged me, and has also heard my voice and given me a son.” Therefore she called his name Dan.
+<a id="7" name="7"></a>
+7. Rachel’s servant Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.
+<a id="8" name="8"></a>
+8. Then Rachel said, “With mighty wrestlings I have wrestled with my sister and have prevailed.” So she called his name Naphtali. 
+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. When Leah saw that she had ceased bearing children, she took her servant Zilpah and gave her to Jacob as a wife.
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. Then Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a son.
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. And Leah said, “Good fortune has come!” so she called his name Gad.
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a second son.
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. And Leah said, “Happy am I! For women have called me happy.” So she called his name Asher. 
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. In the days of wheat harvest Reuben went 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.”
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. But she said to her, “Is it a small matter that you have taken away my husband? Would you take away my son’s mandrakes also?” Rachel said, “Then he may lie with you tonight in exchange for your son’s mandrakes.”
+<a id="16" name="16"></a>
+16. When Jacob came from the field in the evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, “You must come in to me, for I have hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” So he lay with her that night.
+<a id="17" name="17"></a>
+17. And God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore Jacob a fifth son.
+<a id="18" name="18"></a>
+18. Leah said, “God has given me my wages because I gave my servant to my husband.” So she called his name Issachar. 
+<a id="19" name="19"></a>
+19. And Leah conceived again, and she bore Jacob a sixth son.
+<a id="20" name="20"></a>
+20. Then Leah said, “God has endowed me with a good endowment; now my husband will honor me, because I have borne him six sons.” So she called his name Zebulun.
+<a id="21" name="21"></a>
+21. Afterward she bore a daughter and called her name Dinah. 
+<a id="22" name="22"></a>
+22. Then God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her and opened her womb.
+<a id="23" name="23"></a>
+23. She conceived and bore a son and said, “God has taken away my reproach.”
+<a id="24" name="24"></a>
+24. And she called his name Joseph, saying, “May the LORD add to me another son!” 
+<a id="25" name="25"></a>
+25. As soon as Rachel had borne Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me away, that I may go to my own home and country.
+<a id="26" name="26"></a>
+26. Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, that I may go, for you know the service that I have given you.”
+<a id="27" name="27"></a>
+27. But Laban said to him, “If I have found favor in your sight, I have learned by divination that the LORD has blessed me because of you.
+<a id="28" name="28"></a>
+28. Name your wages, and I will give it.”
+<a id="29" name="29"></a>
+29. Jacob said to him, “You yourself know how I have served you, and how your livestock has fared with me.
+<a id="30" name="30"></a>
+30. For you had little before I came, and it has increased abundantly, and the LORD has blessed you wherever I turned. But now when shall I provide for my own household also?”
+<a id="31" name="31"></a>
+31. He said, “What shall I give you?” Jacob said, “You shall not give me anything. If you will do this for me, I will again pasture your flock and keep it:
+<a id="32" name="32"></a>
+32. let me pass through all your flock today, removing from it every speckled and spotted sheep and every black lamb, and the spotted and speckled among the goats, and they shall be my wages.
+<a id="33" name="33"></a>
+33. So my honesty will answer for me later, when you come to look into my wages with you. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats and black among the lambs, if found with me, shall be counted stolen.”
+<a id="34" name="34"></a>
+34. Laban said, “Good! Let it be as you have said.”
+<a id="35" name="35"></a>
+35. But that day Laban removed the male goats that were striped and spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white on it, and every lamb that was black, and put them in the charge of his sons.
+<a id="36" name="36"></a>
+36. And he set a distance of three days’ journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob pastured the rest of Laban’s flock. 
+<a id="37" name="37"></a>
+37. Then Jacob took fresh sticks of poplar and almond and plane trees, and peeled white streaks in them, exposing the white of the sticks.
+<a id="38" name="38"></a>
+38. He set the sticks that he had peeled in front of the flocks in the troughs, that is, the watering places, where the flocks came to drink. And since they bred when they came to drink,
+<a id="39" name="39"></a>
+39. the flocks bred in front of the sticks and so the flocks brought forth striped, speckled, and spotted.
+<a id="40" name="40"></a>
+40. And Jacob separated the lambs and set the faces of the flocks toward the striped and all the black in the flock of Laban. He put his own droves apart and did not put them with Laban’s flock.
+<a id="41" name="41"></a>
+41. Whenever the stronger of the flock were breeding, Jacob would lay the sticks in the troughs before the eyes of the flock, that they might breed among the sticks,
+<a id="42" name="42"></a>
+42. but for the feebler of the flock he would not lay them there. So the feebler would be Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s.
+<a id="43" name="43"></a>
+43. Thus the man increased greatly and had large flocks, female servants and male servants, and camels and donkeys.

+1. Now Jacob heard that the sons of Laban were saying, “Jacob has taken all that was our father’s, and from what was our father’s he has gained all this wealth.”
+<a id="2" name="2"></a>
+2. And Jacob saw that Laban did not regard him with favor as before.
+<a id="3" name="3"></a>
+3. Then the LORD said to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers and to your kindred, and I will be with you.” 
+<a id="4" name="4"></a>
+4. So Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah into the field where his flock was
+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. and said to them, “I see that your father does not regard me with favor as he did before. But the God of my father has been with me.
+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. You know that I have served your father with all my strength,
+<a id="7" name="7"></a>
+7. yet your father has cheated me and changed my wages ten times. But God did not permit him to harm me.
+<a id="8" name="8"></a>
+8. If he said, ‘The spotted shall be your wages,’ then all the flock bore spotted; and if he said, ‘The striped shall be your wages,’ then all the flock bore striped.
+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. Thus God has taken away the livestock of your father and given them to me.
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. In the breeding season of the flock I lifted up my eyes and saw in a dream that the goats that mated with the flock were striped, spotted, and mottled.
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. Then the angel of God said to me in the dream, ‘Jacob,’ and I said, ‘Here I am!’
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. And he said, ‘Lift up your eyes and see, all the goats that mate with the flock are striped, spotted, and mottled, for I have seen all that Laban is doing to you.
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar and made a vow to me. Now arise, go out from this land and return to the land of your kindred.’”
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. Then Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, “Is there any portion or inheritance left to us in our father’s house?
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. Are we not regarded by him as foreigners? For he has sold us, and he has indeed devoured our money.
+<a id="16" name="16"></a>
+16. All the wealth that God has taken away from our father belongs to us and to our children. Now then, whatever God has said to you, do.” 
+<a id="17" name="17"></a>
+17. So Jacob arose and set his sons and his wives on camels.
+<a id="18" name="18"></a>
+18. He drove away all his livestock, all his property that he had gained, the livestock in his possession that he had acquired in Paddan-aram, to go to the land of Canaan to his father Isaac.
+<a id="19" name="19"></a>
+19. Laban had gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel stole her father’s household gods.
+<a id="20" name="20"></a>
+20. And Jacob tricked Laban the Aramean, by not telling him that he intended to flee.
+<a id="21" name="21"></a>
+21. He fled with all that he had and arose and crossed the Euphrates, and set his face toward the hill country of Gilead. 
+<a id="22" name="22"></a>
+22. When it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled,
+<a id="23" name="23"></a>
+23. he took his kinsmen with him and pursued him for seven days and followed close after him into the hill country of Gilead.
+<a id="24" name="24"></a>
+24. But God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream by night and said to him, “Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad.” 
+<a id="25" name="25"></a>
+25. And Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country, and Laban with his kinsmen pitched tents in the hill country of Gilead.
+<a id="26" name="26"></a>
+26. And Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done, that you have tricked me and driven away my daughters like captives of the sword?
+<a id="27" name="27"></a>
+27. Why did you flee secretly and trick me, and did not tell me, so that I might have sent you away with mirth and songs, with tambourine and lyre?
+<a id="28" name="28"></a>
+28. And why did you not permit me to kiss my sons and my daughters farewell? Now you have done foolishly.
+<a id="29" name="29"></a>
+29. It is in my power to do you harm. But the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, ‘Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad.’
+<a id="30" name="30"></a>
+30. And now you have gone away because you longed greatly for your father’s house, but why did you steal my gods?”
+<a id="31" name="31"></a>
+31. Jacob answered and said to Laban, “Because I was afraid, for I thought that you would take your daughters from me by force.
+<a id="32" name="32"></a>
+32. Anyone with whom you find your gods shall not live. In the presence of our kinsmen point out what I have that is yours, and take it.” Now Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them. 
+<a id="33" name="33"></a>
+33. So Laban went into Jacob’s tent and into Leah’s tent and into the tent of the two female servants, but he did not find them. And he went out of Leah’s tent and entered Rachel’s.
+<a id="34" name="34"></a>
+34. Now Rachel had taken the household gods and put them in the camel’s saddle and sat on them. Laban felt all about the tent, but did not find them.
+<a id="35" name="35"></a>
+35. And she said to her father, “Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise before you, for the way of women is upon me.” So he searched but did not find the household gods. 
+<a id="36" name="36"></a>
+36. Then Jacob became angry and berated Laban. Jacob said to Laban, “What is my offense? What is my sin, that you have hotly pursued me?
+<a id="37" name="37"></a>
+37. For you have felt through all my goods; what have you found of all your household goods? Set it here before my kinsmen and your kinsmen, that they may decide between us two.
+<a id="38" name="38"></a>
+38. These twenty years I have been with you. Your ewes and your female goats have not miscarried, and I have not eaten the rams of your flocks.
+<a id="39" name="39"></a>
+39. What was torn by wild beasts I did not bring to you. I bore the loss of it myself. From my hand you required it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.
+<a id="40" name="40"></a>
+40. There I was: by day the heat consumed me, and the cold by night, and my sleep fled from my eyes.
+<a id="41" name="41"></a>
+41. These twenty years I have been in your house. I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you have changed my wages ten times.
+<a id="42" name="42"></a>
+42. If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been on my side, surely now you would have sent me away empty-handed. God saw my affliction and the labor of my hands and rebuked you last night.” 
+<a id="43" name="43"></a>
+43. Then Laban answered and said to Jacob, “The daughters are my daughters, the children are my children, the flocks are my flocks, and all that you see is mine. But what can I do this day for these my daughters or for their children whom they have borne?
+<a id="44" name="44"></a>
+44. Come now, let us make a covenant, you and I. And let it be a witness between you and me.”
+<a id="45" name="45"></a>
+45. So Jacob took a stone and set it up as a pillar.
+<a id="46" name="46"></a>
+46. And Jacob said to his kinsmen, “Gather stones.” And they took stones and made a heap, and they ate there by the heap.
+<a id="47" name="47"></a>
+47. Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, but Jacob called it Galeed.
+<a id="48" name="48"></a>
+48. Laban said, “This heap is a witness between you and me today.” Therefore he named it Galeed,
+<a id="49" name="49"></a>
+49. and Mizpah, for he said, “The LORD watch between you and me, when we are out of one another’s sight.
+<a id="50" name="50"></a>
+50. If you oppress my daughters, or if you take wives besides my daughters, although no one is with us, see, God is witness between you and me.” 
+<a id="51" name="51"></a>
+51. Then Laban said to Jacob, “See this heap and the pillar, which I have set between you and me.
+<a id="52" name="52"></a>
+52. This heap is a witness, and the pillar is a witness, that I will not pass over this heap to you, and you will not pass over this heap and this pillar to me, to do harm.
+<a id="53" name="53"></a>
+53. The God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us.” So Jacob swore by the Fear of his father Isaac,
+<a id="54" name="54"></a>
+54. and Jacob offered a sacrifice in the hill country and called his kinsmen to eat bread. They ate bread and spent the night in the hill country. 
+<a id="55" name="55"></a>
+55. Early in the morning Laban arose and kissed his grandchildren and his daughters and blessed them. Then Laban departed and returned home.

+<a id="4" name="4"></a>

+10. I am not worthy of the least of all the deeds of steadfast love and all the faithfulness that you have shown to your servant, for with only my staff I crossed this Jordan, and now I have become two camps.

+20. and you shall say, ‘Moreover, your servant Jacob is behind us.’” For he thought, “I may appease him with the present that goes ahead of me, and afterward I shall see his face. Perhaps he will accept me.”
+<a id="21" name="21"></a>
+21. So the present passed on ahead of him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp. 
+<a id="22" name="22"></a>
+22. The same night he arose and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven children, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.
+<a id="23" name="23"></a>
+23. He took them and sent them across the stream, and everything else that he had.
+<a id="24" name="24"></a>
+24. And Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day.
+<a id="25" name="25"></a>
+25. When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he touched his hip socket, and Jacob’s hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him.
+<a id="26" name="26"></a>
+26. Then he said, “Let me go, for the day has broken.” But Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
+<a id="27" name="27"></a>
+27. And he said to him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Jacob.”
+<a id="28" name="28"></a>
+28. Then he said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed.”
+<a id="29" name="29"></a>
+29. Then Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” But he said, “Why is it that you ask my name?” And there he blessed him.
+<a id="30" name="30"></a>
+30. So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, saying, “For I have seen God face to face, and yet my life has been delivered.”
+<a id="31" name="31"></a>
+31. The sun rose upon him as he passed Penuel, limping because of his hip.
+<a id="32" name="32"></a>
+32. Therefore to this day the people of Israel do not eat the sinew of the thigh that is on the hip socket, because he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip on the sinew of the thigh.

+1. And Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, Esau was coming, and four hundred men with him. So he divided the children among Leah and Rachel and the two female servants.
+<a id="2" name="2"></a>
+2. And he put the servants with their children in front, then Leah with her children, and Rachel and Joseph last of all.
+<a id="3" name="3"></a>
+3. He himself went on before them, bowing himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother. 
+<a id="4" name="4"></a>
+4. But Esau ran to meet him and embraced him and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept.
+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. And when Esau lifted up his eyes and saw the women and children, he said, “Who are these with you?” Jacob said, “The children whom God has graciously given your servant.”
+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. Then the servants drew near, they and their children, and bowed down.
+<a id="7" name="7"></a>
+7. Leah likewise and her children drew near and bowed down. And last Joseph and Rachel drew near, and they bowed down.
+<a id="8" name="8"></a>
+8. Esau said, “What do you mean by all this company that I met?” Jacob answered, “To find favor in the sight of my lord.”
+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. But Esau said, “I have enough, my brother; keep what you have for yourself.”
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. Jacob said, “No, please, if I have found favor in your sight, then accept my present from my hand. For I have seen your face, which is like seeing the face of God, and you have accepted me.
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. Please accept my blessing that is brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough.” Thus he urged him, and he took it. 
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. Then Esau said, “Let us journey on our way, and I will go ahead of you.”
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. But Jacob said to him, “My lord knows that the children are frail, and that the nursing flocks and herds are a care to me. If they are driven hard for one day, all the flocks will die.
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. Let my lord pass on ahead of his servant, and I will lead on slowly, at the pace of the livestock that are ahead of me and at the pace of the children, until I come to my lord in Seir.” 
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. So Esau said, “Let me leave with you some of the people who are with me.” But he said, “What need is there? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.”

+16. So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.

+19. And from the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, he bought for a hundred pieces of money the piece of land on which he had pitched his tent.

+1. Now Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to see the women of the land.
+<a id="2" name="2"></a>
+2. And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her, he seized her and lay with her and humiliated her.
+<a id="3" name="3"></a>
+3. And his soul was drawn to Dinah the daughter of Jacob. He loved the young woman and spoke tenderly to her.
+<a id="4" name="4"></a>
+4. So Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, “Get me this girl for my wife.” 
+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. Now Jacob heard that he had defiled his daughter Dinah. But his sons were with his livestock in the field, so Jacob held his peace until they came.
+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. And Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him.
+<a id="7" name="7"></a>
+7. The sons of Jacob had come in from the field as soon as they heard of it, and the men were indignant and very angry, because he had done an outrageous thing in Israel by lying with Jacob’s daughter, for such a thing must not be done. 
+<a id="8" name="8"></a>
+8. But Hamor spoke with them, saying, “The soul of my son Shechem longs for your daughter. Please give her to him to be his wife.
+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. Make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. You shall dwell with us, and the land shall be open to you. Dwell and trade in it, and get property in it.”
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. Shechem also said to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you say to me I will give.
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. Ask me for as great a bride-price and gift as you will, and I will give whatever you say to me. Only give me the young woman to be my wife.” 
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and his father Hamor deceitfully, because he had defiled their sister Dinah.
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. They said to them, “We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised, for that would be a disgrace to us.
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. Only on this condition will we agree with you—that you will become as we are by every male among you being circumcised.
+<a id="16" name="16"></a>
+16. Then we will give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to ourselves, and we will dwell with you and become one people.
+<a id="17" name="17"></a>
+17. But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter, and we will be gone.” 
+<a id="18" name="18"></a>
+18. Their words pleased Hamor and Hamor’s son Shechem.
+<a id="19" name="19"></a>
+19. And the young man did not delay to do the thing, because he delighted in Jacob’s daughter. Now he was the most honored of all his father’s house.
+<a id="20" name="20"></a>
+20. So Hamor and his son Shechem came to the gate of their city and spoke to the men of their city, saying,
+<a id="21" name="21"></a>
+21. “These men are at peace with us; let them dwell in the land and trade in it, for behold, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters as wives, and let us give them our daughters.
+<a id="22" name="22"></a>
+22. Only on this condition will the men agree to dwell with us to become one people—when every male among us is circumcised as they are circumcised.
+<a id="23" name="23"></a>
+23. Will not their livestock, their property and all their beasts be ours? Only let us agree with them, and they will dwell with us.”
+<a id="24" name="24"></a>
+24. And all who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor and his son Shechem, and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city. 
+<a id="25" name="25"></a>
+25. On the third day, when they were sore, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, took their swords and came against the city while it felt secure and killed all the males.
+<a id="26" name="26"></a>
+26. They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with the sword and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house and went away.
+<a id="27" name="27"></a>
+27. The sons of Jacob came upon the slain and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
+<a id="28" name="28"></a>

+29. All their wealth, all their little ones and their wives, all that was in the houses, they captured and plundered. 
+<a id="30" name="30"></a>
+30. Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble on me by making me stink to the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites and the Perizzites. My numbers are few, and if they gather themselves against me and attack me, I shall be destroyed, both I and my household.”

+4. So they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods that they had, and the rings that were in their ears. Jacob hid them under the terebinth tree that was near Shechem. 
+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. And as they journeyed, a terror from God fell upon the cities that were around them, so that they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.

+6. And Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him,

+7. and there he built an altar and called the place El-bethel, because there God had revealed himself to him when he fled from his brother.

+8. And Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died, and she was buried under an oak below Bethel. So he called its name Allon-bacuth.

+12. The land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac I will give to you, and I will give the land to your offspring after you.”

+1. Jacob lived in the land of his father’s sojournings, in the land of Canaan. 
+<a id="2" name="2"></a>
+2. These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was pasturing the flock with his brothers. He was a boy with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father’s wives. And Joseph brought a bad report of them to their father.
+<a id="3" name="3"></a>
+3. Now Israel loved Joseph more than any other of his sons, because he was the son of his old age. And he made him a robe of many colors.
+<a id="4" name="4"></a>
+4. But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peacefully to him. 
+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. Now Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers they hated him even more.
+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. He said to them, “Hear this dream that I have dreamed:
+<a id="7" name="7"></a>
+7. Behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and behold, my sheaf arose and stood upright. And behold, your sheaves gathered around it and bowed down to my sheaf.”
+<a id="8" name="8"></a>
+8. His brothers said to him, “Are you indeed to reign over us? Or are you indeed to rule over us?” So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words. 
+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. Then he dreamed another dream and told it to his brothers and said, “Behold, I have dreamed another dream. Behold, the sun, the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. But when he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves to the ground before you?”
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the saying in mind. 
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. Now his brothers went to pasture their father’s flock near Shechem.
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. And Israel said to Joseph, “Are not your brothers pasturing the flock at Shechem? Come, I will send you to them.” And he said to him, “Here I am.”
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. So he said to him, “Go now, see if it is well with your brothers and with the flock, and bring me word.” So he sent him from the Valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. And a man found him wandering in the fields. And the man asked him, “What are you seeking?”
+<a id="16" name="16"></a>
+16. “I am seeking my brothers,” he said. “Tell me, please, where they are pasturing the flock.”
+<a id="17" name="17"></a>

+20. Come now, let us kill him and throw him into one of the pits. Then we will say that a fierce animal has devoured him, and we will see what will become of his dreams.”
+<a id="21" name="21"></a>
+21. But when Reuben heard it, he rescued him out of their hands, saying, “Let us not take his life.”
+<a id="22" name="22"></a>
+22. And Reuben said to them, “Shed no blood; throw him into this pit here in the wilderness, but do not lay a hand on him”—that he might rescue him out of their hand to restore him to his father.
+<a id="23" name="23"></a>
+23. So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe, the robe of many colors that he wore.
+<a id="24" name="24"></a>
+24. And they took him and threw him into a pit. The pit was empty; there was no water in it. 
+<a id="25" name="25"></a>
+25. Then they sat down to eat. And looking up they saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing gum, balm, and myrrh, on their way to carry it down to Egypt.
+<a id="26" name="26"></a>
+26. Then Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?
+<a id="27" name="27"></a>
+27. Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother, our own flesh.” And his brothers listened to him.
+<a id="28" name="28"></a>
+28. Then Midianite traders passed by. And they drew Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. They took Joseph to Egypt. 
+<a id="29" name="29"></a>
+29. When Reuben returned to the pit and saw that Joseph was not in the pit, he tore his clothes
+<a id="30" name="30"></a>
+30. and returned to his brothers and said, “The boy is gone, and I, where shall I go?”
+<a id="31" name="31"></a>
+31. Then they took Joseph’s robe and slaughtered a goat and dipped the robe in the blood.
+<a id="32" name="32"></a>
+32. And they sent the robe of many colors and brought it to their father and said, “This we have found; please identify whether it is your son’s robe or not.”
+<a id="33" name="33"></a>
+33. And he identified it and said, “It is my son’s robe. A fierce animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn to pieces.”
+<a id="34" name="34"></a>
+34. Then Jacob tore his garments and put sackcloth on his loins and mourned for his son many days.
+<a id="35" name="35"></a>
+35. All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted and said, “No, I shall go down to Sheol to my son, mourning.” Thus his father wept for him.
+<a id="36" name="36"></a>
+36. Meanwhile the Midianites had sold him in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard.

+1. It happened at that time that Judah went down from his brothers and turned aside to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
+<a id="2" name="2"></a>
+2. There Judah saw the daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua. He took her and went in to her,
+<a id="3" name="3"></a>
+3. and she conceived and bore a son, and he called his name Er.
+<a id="4" name="4"></a>
+4. She conceived again and bore a son, and she called his name Onan.
+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. Yet again she bore a son, and she called his name Shelah. Judah was in Chezib when she bore him. 
+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
+<a id="7" name="7"></a>
+7. But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD, and the LORD put him to death.
+<a id="8" name="8"></a>
+8. Then Judah said to Onan, “Go in to your brother’s wife and perform the duty of a brother-in-law to her, and raise up offspring for your brother.”
+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. But Onan knew that the offspring would not be his. So whenever he went in to his brother’s wife he would waste the semen on the ground, so as not to give offspring to his brother.
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. And what he did was wicked in the sight of the LORD, and he put him to death also.
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. Then Judah said to Tamar his daughter-in-law, “Remain a widow in your father’s house, till Shelah my son grows up”—for he feared that he would die, like his brothers. So Tamar went and remained in her father’s house. 
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. In the course of time the wife of Judah, Shua’s daughter, died. When Judah was comforted, he went up to Timnah to his sheepshearers, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. And when Tamar was told, “Your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep,”
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. she took off her widow’s garments and covered herself with a veil, wrapping herself up, and sat at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah. For she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she had not been given to him in marriage.
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face.
+<a id="16" name="16"></a>
+16. He turned to her at the roadside and said, “Come, let me come in to you,” for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. She said, “What will you give me, that you may come in to me?”
+<a id="17" name="17"></a>
+17. He answered, “I will send you a young goat from the flock.” And she said, “If you give me a pledge, until you send it—”
+<a id="18" name="18"></a>
+18. He said, “What pledge shall I give you?” She replied, “Your signet and your cord and your staff that is in your hand.” So he gave them to her and went in to her, and she conceived by him.
+<a id="19" name="19"></a>
+19. Then she arose and went away, and taking off her veil she put on the garments of her widowhood. 
+<a id="20" name="20"></a>
+20. When Judah sent the young goat by his friend the Adullamite to take back the pledge from the woman’s hand, he did not find her.
+<a id="21" name="21"></a>
+21. And he asked the men of the place, “Where is the cult prostitute who was at Enaim at the roadside?” And they said, “No cult prostitute has been here.”
+<a id="22" name="22"></a>
+22. So he returned to Judah and said, “I have not found her. Also, the men of the place said, ‘No cult prostitute has been here.’”
+<a id="23" name="23"></a>
+23. And Judah replied, “Let her keep the things as her own, or we shall be laughed at. You see, I sent this young goat, and you did not find her.” 
+<a id="24" name="24"></a>
+24. About three months later Judah was told, “Tamar your daughter-in-law has been immoral. Moreover, she is pregnant by immorality.” And Judah said, “Bring her out, and let her be burned.”
+<a id="25" name="25"></a>
+25. As she was being brought out, she sent word to her father-in-law, “By the man to whom these belong, I am pregnant.” And she said, “Please identify whose these are, the signet and the cord and the staff.”
+<a id="26" name="26"></a>
+26. Then Judah identified them and said, “She is more righteous than I, since I did not give her to my son Shelah.” And he did not know her again. 
+<a id="27" name="27"></a>
+27. When the time of her labor came, there were twins in her womb.
+<a id="28" name="28"></a>
+28. And when she was in labor, one put out a hand, and the midwife took and tied a scarlet thread on his hand, saying, “This one came out first.”
+<a id="29" name="29"></a>
+29. But as he drew back his hand, behold, his brother came out. And she said, “What a breach you have made for yourself!” Therefore his name was called Perez.
+<a id="30" name="30"></a>
+30. Afterward his brother came out with the scarlet thread on his hand, and his name was called Zerah.

+1. Now Joseph had been brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, had bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him down there.
+<a id="2" name="2"></a>
+2. The LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, and he was in the house of his Egyptian master.
+<a id="3" name="3"></a>
+3. His master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD caused all that he did to succeed in his hands.
+<a id="4" name="4"></a>
+4. So Joseph found favor in his sight and attended him, and he made him overseer of his house and put him in charge of all that he had.
+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. From the time that he made him overseer in his house and over all that he had, the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; the blessing of the LORD was on all that he had, in house and field.
+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. So he left all that he had in Joseph’s charge, and because of him he had no concern about anything but the food he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance.
+<a id="7" name="7"></a>
+7. And after a time his master’s wife cast her eyes on Joseph and said, “Lie with me.”
+<a id="8" name="8"></a>

+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. He is not greater in this house than I am, nor has he kept back anything from me except you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?”
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. And as she spoke to Joseph day after day, he would not listen to her, to lie beside her or to be with her. 
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. But one day, when he went into the house to do his work and none of the men of the house was there in the house,
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. she caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me.” But he left his garment in her hand and fled and got out of the house.
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. And as soon as she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled out of the house,
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. she called to the men of her household and said to them, “See, he has brought among us a Hebrew to laugh at us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice.
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. And as soon as he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried out, he left his garment beside me and fled and got out of the house.”
+<a id="16" name="16"></a>
+16. Then she laid up his garment by her until his master came home,
+<a id="17" name="17"></a>
+17. and she told him the same story, saying, “The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought among us, came in to me to laugh at me.

+1. Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, “I have gotten a man with the help of the LORD.”
+<a id="2" name="2"></a>
+2. And again, she bore his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a worker of the ground.
+<a id="3" name="3"></a>
+3. In the course of time Cain brought to the LORD an offering of the fruit of the ground,
+<a id="4" name="4"></a>
+4. and Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat portions. And the LORD had regard for Abel and his offering,
+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his face fell.
+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. The LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry, and why has your face fallen?
+<a id="7" name="7"></a>
+7. If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is contrary to you, but you must rule over it.” 
+<a id="8" name="8"></a>
+8. Cain spoke to Abel his brother. And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him.
+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. Then the LORD said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?” He said, “I do not know; am I my brother’s keeper?”
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. And the LORD said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying to me from the ground.
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. When you work the ground, it shall no longer yield to you its strength. You shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth.”
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. Cain said to the LORD, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. Behold, you have driven me today away from the ground, and from your face I shall be hidden. I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.”
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. Then the LORD said to him, “Not so! If anyone kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.” And the LORD put a mark on Cain, lest any who found him should attack him.
+<a id="16" name="16"></a>
+16. Then Cain went away from the presence of the LORD and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

+17. Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. When he built a city, he called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch.

+<a id="3" name="3"></a>
+3. and he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison where Joseph was confined.
+<a id="4" name="4"></a>
+4. The captain of the guard appointed Joseph to be with them, and he attended them. They continued for some time in custody. 
+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. And one night they both dreamed—the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison—each his own dream, and each dream with its own interpretation.
+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were troubled.
+<a id="7" name="7"></a>
+7. So he asked Pharaoh’s officers who were with him in custody in his master’s house, “Why are your faces downcast today?”
+<a id="8" name="8"></a>
+8. They said to him, “We have had dreams, and there is no one to interpret them.” And Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell them to me.” 
+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph and said to him, “In my dream there was a vine before me,
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. and on the vine there were three branches. As soon as it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and the clusters ripened into grapes.
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup and placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.”
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. Then Joseph said to him, “This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days.
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. In three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your office, and you shall place Pharaoh’s cup in his hand as formerly, when you were his cupbearer.
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. Only remember me, when it is well with you, and please do me the kindness to mention me to Pharaoh, and so get me out of this house.
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. For I was indeed stolen out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also I have done nothing that they should put me into the pit.” 
+<a id="16" name="16"></a>
+16. When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph, “I also had a dream: there were three cake baskets on my head,
+<a id="17" name="17"></a>
+17. and in the uppermost basket there were all sorts of baked food for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating it out of the basket on my head.”

+31. and the plenty will be unknown in the land by reason of the famine that will follow, for it will be very severe.

+<a id="36" name="36"></a>
+36. That food shall be a reserve for the land against the seven years of famine that are to occur in the land of Egypt, so that the land may not perish through the famine.” 
+<a id="37" name="37"></a>
+37. This proposal pleased Pharaoh and all his servants.
+<a id="38" name="38"></a>
+38. And Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find a man like this, in whom is the Spirit of God?”
+<a id="39" name="39"></a>
+39. Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has shown you all this, there is none so discerning and wise as you are.
+<a id="40" name="40"></a>
+40. You shall be over my house, and all my people shall order themselves as you command. Only as regards the throne will I be greater than you.”
+<a id="41" name="41"></a>
+41. And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.”
+<a id="42" name="42"></a>
+42. Then Pharaoh took his signet ring from his hand and put it on Joseph’s hand, and clothed him in garments of fine linen and put a gold chain about his neck.
+<a id="43" name="43"></a>
+43. And he made him ride in his second chariot. And they called out before him, “Bow the knee!” Thus he set him over all the land of Egypt.
+<a id="44" name="44"></a>
+44. Moreover, Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and without your consent no one shall lift up hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.”
+<a id="45" name="45"></a>
+45. And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphenath-paneah. And he gave him in marriage Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On. So Joseph went out over the land of Egypt. 
+<a id="46" name="46"></a>
+46. Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh and went through all the land of Egypt.
+<a id="47" name="47"></a>
+47. During the seven plentiful years the earth produced abundantly,
+<a id="48" name="48"></a>
+48. and he gathered up all the food of these seven years, which occurred in the land of Egypt, and put the food in the cities. He put in every city the food from the fields around it.
+<a id="49" name="49"></a>
+49. And Joseph stored up grain in great abundance, like the sand of the sea, until he ceased to measure it, for it could not be measured. 
+<a id="50" name="50"></a>
+50. Before the year of famine came, two sons were born to Joseph. Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore them to him.
+<a id="51" name="51"></a>
+51. Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh. “For,” he said, “God has made me forget all my hardship and all my father’s house.”
+<a id="52" name="52"></a>
+52. The name of the second he called Ephraim, “For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.” 
+<a id="53" name="53"></a>
+53. The seven years of plenty that occurred in the land of Egypt came to an end,
+<a id="54" name="54"></a>
+54. and the seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
+<a id="55" name="55"></a>
+55. When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread. Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph. What he says to you, do.” 
+<a id="56" name="56"></a>
+56. So when the famine had spread over all the land, Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold to the Egyptians, for the famine was severe in the land of Egypt.
+<a id="57" name="57"></a>
+57. Moreover, all the earth came to Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was severe over all the earth.

+1. When Jacob learned that there was grain for sale in Egypt, he said to his sons, “Why do you look at one another?”
+<a id="2" name="2"></a>
+2. And he said, “Behold, I have heard that there is grain for sale in Egypt. Go down and buy grain for us there, that we may live and not die.”
+<a id="3" name="3"></a>
+3. So ten of Joseph’s brothers went down to buy grain in Egypt.
+<a id="4" name="4"></a>
+4. But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, with his brothers, for he feared that harm might happen to him.
+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. Thus the sons of Israel came to buy among the others who came, for the famine was in the land of Canaan. 
+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. Now Joseph was governor over the land. He was the one who sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph’s brothers came and bowed themselves before him with their faces to the ground.
+<a id="7" name="7"></a>
+7. Joseph saw his brothers and recognized them, but he treated them like strangers and spoke roughly to them. “Where do you come from?” he said. They said, “From the land of Canaan, to buy food.”
+<a id="8" name="8"></a>
+8. And Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him.
+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. And Joseph remembered the dreams that he had dreamed of them. And he said to them, “You are spies; you have come to see the nakedness of the land.”
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. They said to him, “No, my lord, your servants have come to buy food.
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. We are all sons of one man. We are honest men. Your servants have never been spies.” 
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. He said to them, “No, it is the nakedness of the land that you have come to see.”
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. And they said, “We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan, and behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is no more.”
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. But Joseph said to them, “It is as I said to you. You are spies.
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. By this you shall be tested: by the life of Pharaoh, you shall not go from this place unless your youngest brother comes here.
+<a id="16" name="16"></a>
+16. Send one of you, and let him bring your brother, while you remain confined, that your words may be tested, whether there is truth in you. Or else, by the life of Pharaoh, surely you are spies.”
+<a id="17" name="17"></a>
+17. And he put them all together in custody for three days. 
+<a id="18" name="18"></a>
+18. On the third day Joseph said to them, “Do this and you will live, for I fear God:
+<a id="19" name="19"></a>
+19. if you are honest men, let one of your brothers remain confined where you are in custody, and let the rest go and carry grain for the famine of your households,
+<a id="20" name="20"></a>
+20. and bring your youngest brother to me. So your words will be verified, and you shall not die.” And they did so.
+<a id="21" name="21"></a>
+21. Then they said to one another, “In truth we are guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the distress of his soul, when he begged us and we did not listen. That is why this distress has come upon us.”
+<a id="22" name="22"></a>
+22. And Reuben answered them, “Did I not tell you not to sin against the boy? But you did not listen. So now there comes a reckoning for his blood.”
+<a id="23" name="23"></a>
+23. They did not know that Joseph understood them, for there was an interpreter between them.
+<a id="24" name="24"></a>
+24. Then he turned away from them and wept. And he returned to them and spoke to them. And he took Simeon from them and bound him before their eyes.
+<a id="25" name="25"></a>
+25. And Joseph gave orders to fill their bags with grain, and to replace every man’s money in his sack, and to give them provisions for the journey. This was done for them. 
+<a id="26" name="26"></a>
+26. Then they loaded their donkeys with their grain and departed.
+<a id="27" name="27"></a>
+27. And as one of them opened his sack to give his donkey fodder at the lodging place, he saw his money in the mouth of his sack.
+<a id="28" name="28"></a>
+28. He said to his brothers, “My money has been put back; here it is in the mouth of my sack!” At this their hearts failed them, and they turned trembling to one another, saying, “What is this that God has done to us?” 
+<a id="29" name="29"></a>
+29. When they came to Jacob their father in the land of Canaan, they told him all that had happened to them, saying,
+<a id="30" name="30"></a>
+30. “The man, the lord of the land, spoke roughly to us and took us to be spies of the land.
+<a id="31" name="31"></a>
+31. But we said to him, ‘We are honest men; we have never been spies.
+<a id="32" name="32"></a>
+32. We are twelve brothers, sons of our father. One is no more, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.’
+<a id="33" name="33"></a>
+33. Then the man, the lord of the land, said to us, ‘By this I shall know that you are honest men: leave one of your brothers with me, and take grain for the famine of your households, and go your way.
+<a id="34" name="34"></a>
+34. Bring your youngest brother to me. Then I shall know that you are not spies but honest men, and I will deliver your brother to you, and you shall trade in the land.’” 
+<a id="35" name="35"></a>
+35. As they emptied their sacks, behold, every man’s bundle of money was in his sack. And when they and their father saw their bundles of money, they were afraid.
+<a id="36" name="36"></a>
+36. And Jacob their father said to them, “You have bereaved me of my children: Joseph is no more, and Simeon is no more, and now you would take Benjamin. All this has come against me.”
+<a id="37" name="37"></a>
+37. Then Reuben said to his father, “Kill my two sons if I do not bring him back to you. Put him in my hands, and I will bring him back to you.”
+<a id="38" name="38"></a>
+38. But he said, “My son shall not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he is the only one left. If harm should happen to him on the journey that you are to make, you would bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.”

+1. Now the famine was severe in the land.
+<a id="2" name="2"></a>
+2. And when they had eaten the grain that they had brought from Egypt, their father said to them, “Go again, buy us a little food.”
+<a id="3" name="3"></a>
+3. But Judah said to him, “The man solemnly warned us, saying, ‘You shall not see my face unless your brother is with you.’
+<a id="4" name="4"></a>
+4. If you will send our brother with us, we will go down and buy you food.
+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. But if you will not send him, we will not go down, for the man said to us, ‘You shall not see my face, unless your brother is with you.’”
+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. Israel said, “Why did you treat me so badly as to tell the man that you had another brother?”
+<a id="7" name="7"></a>
+7. They replied, “The man questioned us carefully about ourselves and our kindred, saying, ‘Is your father still alive? Do you have another brother?’ What we told him was in answer to these questions. Could we in any way know that he would say, ‘Bring your brother down’?”
+<a id="8" name="8"></a>
+8. And Judah said to Israel his father, “Send the boy with me, and we will arise and go, that we may live and not die, both we and you and also our little ones.
+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. I will be a pledge of his safety. From my hand you shall require him. If I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame forever.
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. If we had not delayed, we would now have returned twice.” 
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. Then their father Israel said to them, “If it must be so, then do this: take some of the choice fruits of the land in your bags, and carry a present down to the man, a little balm and a little honey, gum, myrrh, pistachio nuts, and almonds.
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. Take double the money with you. Carry back with you the money that was returned in the mouth of your sacks. Perhaps it was an oversight.
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. Take also your brother, and arise, go again to the man.
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. May God Almighty grant you mercy before the man, and may he send back your other brother and Benjamin. And as for me, if I am bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.” 
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. So the men took this present, and they took double the money with them, and Benjamin. They arose and went down to Egypt and stood before Joseph. 
+<a id="16" name="16"></a>
+16. When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house, “Bring the men into the house, and slaughter an animal and make ready, for the men are to dine with me at noon.”
+<a id="17" name="17"></a>
+17. The man did as Joseph told him and brought the men to Joseph’s house.
+<a id="18" name="18"></a>
+18. And the men were afraid because they were brought to Joseph’s house, and they said, “It is because of the money, which was replaced in our sacks the first time, that we are brought in, so that he may assault us and fall upon us to make us servants and seize our donkeys.”
+<a id="19" name="19"></a>
+19. So they went up to the steward of Joseph’s house and spoke with him at the door of the house,
+<a id="20" name="20"></a>
+20. and said, “Oh, my lord, we came down the first time to buy food.
+<a id="21" name="21"></a>
+21. And when we came to the lodging place we opened our sacks, and there was each man’s money in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight. So we have brought it again with us,
+<a id="22" name="22"></a>
+22. and we have brought other money down with us to buy food. We do not know who put our money in our sacks.”
+<a id="23" name="23"></a>
+23. He replied, “Peace to you, do not be afraid. Your God and the God of your father has put treasure in your sacks for you. I received your money.” Then he brought Simeon out to them.
+<a id="24" name="24"></a>
+24. And when the man had brought the men into Joseph’s house and given them water, and they had washed their feet, and when he had given their donkeys fodder,
+<a id="25" name="25"></a>
+25. they prepared the present for Joseph’s coming at noon, for they heard that they should eat bread there. 
+<a id="26" name="26"></a>
+26. When Joseph came home, they brought into the house to him the present that they had with them and bowed down to him to the ground.
+<a id="27" name="27"></a>
+27. And he inquired about their welfare and said, “Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?”
+<a id="28" name="28"></a>
+28. They said, “Your servant our father is well; he is still alive.” And they bowed their heads and prostrated themselves.
+<a id="29" name="29"></a>
+29. And he lifted up his eyes and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother’s son, and said, “Is this your youngest brother, of whom you spoke to me? God be gracious to you, my son!”
+<a id="30" name="30"></a>
+30. Then Joseph hurried out, for his compassion grew warm for his brother, and he sought a place to weep. And he entered his chamber and wept there.
+<a id="31" name="31"></a>
+31. Then he washed his face and came out. And controlling himself he said, “Serve the food.”
+<a id="32" name="32"></a>
+32. They served him by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves, because the Egyptians could not eat with the Hebrews, for that is an abomination to the Egyptians.
+<a id="33" name="33"></a>
+33. And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright and the youngest according to his youth. And the men looked at one another in amazement.
+<a id="34" name="34"></a>
+34. Portions were taken to them from Joseph’s table, but Benjamin’s portion was five times as much as any of theirs. And they drank and were merry with him.

+<a id="2" name="2"></a>
+2. and put my cup, the silver cup, in the mouth of the sack of the youngest, with his money for the grain.” And he did as Joseph told him. 
+<a id="3" name="3"></a>
+3. As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away with their donkeys.
+<a id="4" name="4"></a>
+4. They had gone only a short distance from the city. Now 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?
+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. Is it not from this that my lord drinks, and by this that he practices divination? You have done evil in doing this.’” 
+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. When he overtook them, he spoke to them these words.
+<a id="7" name="7"></a>

+16. And Judah said, “What shall we say to my lord? What shall we speak? Or how can we clear ourselves? God has found out the guilt of your servants; behold, we are my lord’s servants, both we and he also in whose hand the cup has been found.”

+<a id="2" name="2"></a>
+2. And he wept aloud, so that the Egyptians heard it, and the household of Pharaoh heard it.
+<a id="3" name="3"></a>
+3. And Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Is my father still alive?” But his brothers could not answer him, for they were dismayed at his presence. 
+<a id="4" name="4"></a>
+4. So Joseph said to his brothers, “Come near to me, please.” And they came near. And he said, “I am your brother, Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt.
+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. And now do not be distressed or angry with yourselves because you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.
+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. For the famine has been in the land these two years, and there are yet five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvest.
+<a id="7" name="7"></a>
+7. And God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant on earth, and to keep alive for you many survivors.
+<a id="8" name="8"></a>
+8. So it was not you who sent me here, but God. He has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. Hurry 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; do not tarry.
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. You shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near me, you and your children and your children’s children, and your flocks, your herds, and all that you have.

+11. There I will provide for you, for there are yet five years of famine to come, so that you and your household, and all that you have, do not come to poverty.’

+12. And now your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see, that it is my mouth that speaks to you.

+13. You must tell my father of all my honor in Egypt, and of all that you have seen. Hurry and bring my father down here.”

+22. To each and all of them he gave a change of clothes, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred shekels of silver and five changes of clothes.
+<a id="23" name="23"></a>
+23. To his father he sent as follows: ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain, bread, and provision for his father on the journey.
+<a id="24" name="24"></a>
+24. Then he sent his brothers away, and as they departed, he said to them, “Do not quarrel on the way.” 
+<a id="25" name="25"></a>
+25. So they went up out of Egypt and came to the land of Canaan to their father Jacob.
+<a id="26" name="26"></a>
+26. And they told him, “Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.” And his heart became numb, for he did not believe them.
+<a id="27" name="27"></a>
+27. But when they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of their father Jacob revived.
+<a id="28" name="28"></a>
+28. And Israel said, “It is enough; Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”

+1. So Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, “My father and my brothers, with their flocks and herds and all that they possess, have come from the land of Canaan. They are now in the land of Goshen.”
+<a id="2" name="2"></a>
+2. And from among his brothers he took five men and presented them to Pharaoh.
+<a id="3" name="3"></a>
+3. Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is your occupation?” And they said to Pharaoh, “Your servants are shepherds, as our fathers were.”
+<a id="4" name="4"></a>
+4. They said to Pharaoh, “We have come to sojourn in the land, for there is no pasture for your servants’ flocks, for the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. And now, please let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen.”
+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Your father and your brothers have come to you.
+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. The land of Egypt is before you. Settle your father and your brothers in the best of the land. Let them settle in the land of Goshen, and if you know any able men among them, put them in charge of my livestock.” 
+<a id="7" name="7"></a>
+7. Then Joseph brought in Jacob his father and stood him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
+<a id="8" name="8"></a>
+8. And Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How many are the days of the years of your life?”
+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. And Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The days of the years of my sojourning are 130 years. Few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their sojourning.”
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. And Jacob blessed Pharaoh and went out from the presence of Pharaoh.
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. Then Joseph settled 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.
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. And Joseph provided his father, his brothers, and all his father’s household with food, according to the number of their dependents. 
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. Now there was no food in all the land, for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished by reason of the famine.
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, in exchange for the grain that they bought. And Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house.
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. And when the money was all spent in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, “Give us food. Why should we die before your eyes? For our money is gone.”
+<a id="16" name="16"></a>
+16. And Joseph answered, “Give your livestock, and I will give you food in exchange for your livestock, if your money is gone.”
+<a id="17" name="17"></a>
+17. So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them food in exchange for the horses, the flocks, the herds, and the donkeys. He supplied them with food in exchange for all their livestock that year.
+<a id="18" name="18"></a>
+18. And when that year was ended, they came to him the following year and said to him, “We will not hide from my lord that our money is all spent. The herds of livestock are my lord’s. There is nothing left in the sight of my lord but our bodies and our land.
+<a id="19" name="19"></a>
+19. Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for food, and we with our land will be servants to Pharaoh. And give us seed that we may live and not die, and that the land may not be desolate.” 
+<a id="20" name="20"></a>
+20. So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for all the Egyptians sold their fields, because the famine was severe on them. The land became Pharaoh’s.
+<a id="21" name="21"></a>
+21. As for the people, he made servants of them from one end of Egypt to the other.
+<a id="22" name="22"></a>
+22. Only the land of the priests he did not buy, for the priests had a fixed allowance from Pharaoh and lived on the allowance that Pharaoh gave them; therefore they did not sell their land. 
+<a id="23" name="23"></a>
+23. Then Joseph said to the people, “Behold, I have this day bought you and your land for Pharaoh. Now here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land.
+<a id="24" name="24"></a>
+24. And at the harvests you shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four fifths shall be your own, as seed for the field and as food for yourselves and your households, and as food for your little ones.”
+<a id="25" name="25"></a>
+25. And they said, “You have saved our lives; may it please my lord, we will be servants to Pharaoh.”
+<a id="26" name="26"></a>
+26. So Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt, and it stands to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth; the land of the priests alone did not become Pharaoh’s. 
+<a id="27" name="27"></a>
+27. Thus Israel settled in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen. And they gained possessions in it, and were fruitful and multiplied greatly.
+<a id="28" name="28"></a>
+28. And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. So the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were 147 years. 
+<a id="29" name="29"></a>
+29. And when the time drew near that Israel must die, he called his son Joseph and said to him, “If now I have found favor in your sight, put your hand under my thigh and promise to deal kindly and truly with me. Do not bury me in Egypt,
+<a id="30" name="30"></a>
+30. but let me lie with my fathers. Carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burying place.” He answered, “I will do as you have said.”

+2. And it was told to Jacob, “Your son Joseph has come to you.” Then Israel summoned his strength and sat up in bed.
+<a id="3" name="3"></a>

+10. Now the eyes of Israel were dim with age, so that he could not see. So Joseph brought them near him, and he kissed them and embraced them.

+11. And Israel said to Joseph, “I never expected to see your face; and behold, God has let me see your offspring also.”

+12. Then Joseph removed them from his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.

+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. And Israel stretched out his right hand and laid it on the head of Ephraim, who was the younger, and his left hand on the head of Manasseh, crossing his hands (for Manasseh was the firstborn).
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. And he blessed Joseph and said, “The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God who has been my shepherd all my life long to this day,

+16. the angel who has redeemed me from all evil, bless the boys; and in them let my name be carried on, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.”

+18. And Joseph said to his father, “Not this way, my father; since this one is the firstborn, put your right hand on his head.”

+1. Then Joseph fell on his father’s face and wept over him and kissed him.
+<a id="2" name="2"></a>
+2. And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father. So the physicians embalmed Israel.
+<a id="3" name="3"></a>
+3. Forty days were required for it, for that is how many are required for embalming. And the Egyptians wept for him seventy days. 
+<a id="4" name="4"></a>
+4. And when the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph spoke to the household of Pharaoh, saying, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, please speak in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. ‘My father made me swear, saying, “I am about to die: in my tomb that I hewed out for myself in the land of Canaan, there shall you bury me.” Now therefore, let me please go up and bury my father. Then I will return.’”
+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. And Pharaoh answered, “Go up, and bury your father, as he made you swear.”
+<a id="7" name="7"></a>
+7. So Joseph went up to bury his father. With him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his household, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,
+<a id="8" name="8"></a>
+8. as well as all the household of Joseph, his brothers, and his father’s household. Only their children, their flocks, and their herds were left in the land of Goshen.
+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen. It was a very great company.
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. When they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, they lamented there with a very great and grievous lamentation, and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning on the threshing floor of Atad, they said, “This is a grievous mourning by the Egyptians.” Therefore the place was named Abel-mizraim; it is beyond the Jordan.
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. Thus his sons did for him as he had commanded them,
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. for his sons carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave of the field at Machpelah, to the east of Mamre, which Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite to possess as a burying place.
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. After he had buried his father, Joseph returned to Egypt with his brothers and all who had gone up with him to bury his father. 
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “It may be that Joseph will hate us and pay us back for all the evil that we did to him.”
+<a id="16" name="16"></a>
+16. So they sent a message to Joseph, saying, “Your father gave this command before he died:
+<a id="17" name="17"></a>
+17. ‘Say to Joseph, “Please forgive the transgression of your brothers and their sin, because they did evil to you.”’ And now, please forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father.” Joseph wept when they spoke to him.
+<a id="18" name="18"></a>
+18. His brothers also came and fell down before him and said, “Behold, we are your servants.”
+<a id="19" name="19"></a>
+19. But Joseph said to them, “Do not fear, for am I in the place of God?
+<a id="20" name="20"></a>
+20. As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.
+<a id="21" name="21"></a>
+21. So do not fear; I will provide for you and your little ones.” Thus he comforted them and spoke kindly to them. 
+<a id="22" name="22"></a>
+22. So Joseph remained in Egypt, he and his father’s house. Joseph lived 110 years.
+<a id="23" name="23"></a>
+23. And Joseph saw Ephraim’s children of the third generation. The children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were counted as Joseph’s own.
+<a id="24" name="24"></a>
+24. And Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die, but God will visit you and bring you up out of this land to the land that he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”
+<a id="25" name="25"></a>
+25. Then Joseph made the sons of Israel swear, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here.”

+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. Make yourself an ark of gopher wood. Make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and out with pitch.
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. This is how you are to make it: the length of the ark 300 cubits, its breadth 50 cubits, and its height 30 cubits.

+16. Make a roof for the ark, and finish it to a cubit above, and set the door of the ark in its side. Make it with lower, second, and third decks.
+<a id="17" name="17"></a>
+17. For behold, I will bring a flood of waters upon the earth to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life under heaven. Everything that is on the earth shall die.

+18. But I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall come into the ark, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.

+2. The fountains of the deep and the windows of the heavens were closed, the rain from the heavens was restrained,
+<a id="3" name="3"></a>

+11. Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with heavy burdens. They built for Pharaoh store cities, Pithom and Raamses.
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and the more they spread abroad. And the Egyptians were in dread of the people of Israel.
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. So they ruthlessly made the people of Israel work as slaves

+<a id="8" name="8"></a>
+8. So Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh. And he said to them, “Go, serve the LORD your God. But which ones are to go?”
+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. Moses said, “We will go with our young and our old. We will go with our sons and daughters and with our flocks and herds, for we must hold a feast to the LORD.”
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. But he said to them, “The LORD be with you, if ever I let you and your little ones go! Look, you have some evil purpose in mind.
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. No! Go, the men among you, and serve the LORD, for that is what you are asking.” And they were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence. 
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, so that they may come upon the land of Egypt and eat every plant in the land, all that the hail has left.”
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. So Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that day and all that night. When it was morning, the east wind had brought the locusts.
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. The locusts came up over all the land of Egypt and settled on the whole country of Egypt, such a dense swarm of locusts as had never been before, nor ever will be again.
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. They covered the face of the whole land, so that the land was darkened, and they ate all the plants in the land and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left. Not a green thing remained, neither tree nor plant of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
+<a id="16" name="16"></a>
+16. Then Pharaoh hastily called Moses and Aaron and said, “I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you.
+<a id="17" name="17"></a>
+17. Now therefore, forgive my sin, please, only this once, and plead with the LORD your God only to remove this death from me.”
+<a id="18" name="18"></a>
+18. So he went out from Pharaoh and pleaded with the LORD.
+<a id="19" name="19"></a>
+19. And the LORD turned the wind into a very strong west wind, which lifted the locusts and drove them into the Red Sea. Not a single locust was left in all the country of Egypt.
+<a id="20" name="20"></a>
+20. But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the people of Israel go. 
+<a id="21" name="21"></a>
+21. Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, a darkness to be felt.”
+<a id="22" name="22"></a>
+22. So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and there was pitch darkness in all the land of Egypt three days.
+<a id="23" name="23"></a>
+23. They did not see one another, nor did anyone rise from his place for three days, but all the people of Israel had light where they lived.
+<a id="24" name="24"></a>
+24. Then Pharaoh called Moses and said, “Go, serve the LORD; your little ones also may go with you; only let your flocks and your herds remain behind.”
+<a id="25" name="25"></a>
+25. But Moses said, “You must also let us have sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.
+<a id="26" name="26"></a>
+26. Our livestock also must go with us; not a hoof shall be left behind, for we must take of them to serve the LORD our God, and we do not know with what we must serve the LORD until we arrive there.”
+<a id="27" name="27"></a>
+27. But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let them go.
+<a id="28" name="28"></a>
+28. Then Pharaoh said to him, “Get away from me; take care never to see my face again, for on the day you see my face you shall die.”
+<a id="29" name="29"></a>

+2. Speak now in the hearing of the people, that they ask, every man of his neighbor and every woman of her neighbor, for silver and gold jewelry.”

+1. The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,
+<a id="2" name="2"></a>
+2. “This month shall be for you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year for you.
+<a id="3" name="3"></a>
+3. Tell all the congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month every man shall take a lamb according to their fathers’ houses, a lamb for a household.
+<a id="4" name="4"></a>
+4. And if the household is too small for a lamb, then he and his nearest neighbor shall take according to the number of persons; according to what each can eat you shall make your count for the lamb.
+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats,
+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. and you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month, when the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill their lambs at twilight. 
+<a id="7" name="7"></a>
+7. “Then they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses in which they eat it.
+<a id="8" name="8"></a>
+8. They shall eat the flesh that night, roasted on the fire; with unleavened bread and bitter herbs they shall eat it.
+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. Do not eat any of it raw or boiled in water, but roasted, its head with its legs and its inner parts.
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. And you shall let none of it remain until the morning; anything that remains until the morning you shall burn.
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. In this manner you shall eat it: with your belt fastened, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. And you shall eat it in haste. It is the LORD’s Passover.
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and I will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the LORD.
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. The blood shall be a sign for you, on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt. 
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. “This day shall be for you a memorial day, and you shall keep it as a feast to the LORD; throughout your generations, as a statute forever, you shall keep it as a feast.
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall remove leaven out of your houses, for if anyone eats what is leavened, from the first day until the seventh day, that person shall be cut off from Israel.
+<a id="16" name="16"></a>
+16. On the first day you shall hold a holy assembly, and on the seventh day a holy assembly. No work shall be done on those days. But what everyone needs to eat, that alone may be prepared by you.
+<a id="17" name="17"></a>
+17. And you shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this very day I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day, throughout your generations, as a statute forever.
+<a id="18" name="18"></a>
+18. In the first month, from the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread until the twenty-first day of the month at evening.
+<a id="19" name="19"></a>
+19. For seven days no leaven is to be found in your houses. If anyone eats what is leavened, that person will be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a sojourner or a native of the land.
+<a id="20" name="20"></a>
+20. You shall eat nothing leavened; in all your dwelling places you shall eat unleavened bread.”

+22. Take a bunch of hyssop and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and touch the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin. None of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.
+<a id="23" name="23"></a>
+23. For the LORD will pass through to strike the Egyptians, and when he sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the LORD will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses to strike you.
+<a id="24" name="24"></a>
+24. You shall observe this rite as a statute for you and for your sons forever.
+<a id="25" name="25"></a>
+25. And when you come to the land that the LORD will give you, as he has promised, you shall keep this service.
+<a id="26" name="26"></a>
+26. And when your children say to you, ‘What do you mean by this service?’
+<a id="27" name="27"></a>
+27. you shall say, ‘It is the sacrifice of the LORD’s Passover, for he passed over the houses of the people of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians but spared our houses.’” And the people bowed their heads and worshiped. 
+<a id="28" name="28"></a>
+28. Then the people of Israel went and did so; as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did. 
+<a id="29" name="29"></a>
+29. At midnight the LORD struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of the livestock.
+<a id="30" name="30"></a>
+30. And Pharaoh rose 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 someone was not dead.
+<a id="31" name="31"></a>
+31. Then he summoned Moses and Aaron by night and said, “Up, go out from among my people, both you and the people of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as you have said.
+<a id="32" name="32"></a>
+32. Take your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone, and bless me also!” 
+<a id="33" name="33"></a>
+33. The Egyptians were urgent with the people to send them out of the land in haste. For they said, “We shall all be dead.”
+<a id="34" name="34"></a>
+34. So the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading bowls being bound up in their cloaks on their shoulders.
+<a id="35" name="35"></a>
+35. The people of Israel had also done as Moses told them, for they had asked the Egyptians for silver and gold jewelry and for clothing.
+<a id="36" name="36"></a>
+36. And the LORD had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. Thus they plundered the Egyptians. 
+<a id="37" name="37"></a>
+37. And the people of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children.
+<a id="38" name="38"></a>
+38. A mixed multitude also went up with them, and very much livestock, both flocks and herds.
+<a id="39" name="39"></a>
+39. And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough that they had brought out of Egypt, for it was not leavened, because they were thrust out of Egypt and could not wait, nor had they prepared any provisions for themselves. 
+<a id="40" name="40"></a>
+40. The time that the people of Israel lived in Egypt was 430 years.
+<a id="41" name="41"></a>
+41. At the end of 430 years, on that very day, all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.
+<a id="42" name="42"></a>
+42. It was a night of watching by the LORD, to bring them out of the land of Egypt; so this same night is a night of watching kept to the LORD by all the people of Israel throughout their generations. 
+<a id="43" name="43"></a>
+43. And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the statute of the Passover: no foreigner shall eat of it,
+<a id="44" name="44"></a>
+44. but every slave that is bought for money may eat of it after you have circumcised him.
+<a id="45" name="45"></a>
+45. No foreigner or hired worker may eat of it.
+<a id="46" name="46"></a>
+46. It shall be eaten in one house; you shall not take any of the flesh outside the house, and you shall not break any of its bones.
+<a id="47" name="47"></a>
+47. All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
+<a id="48" name="48"></a>
+48. If a stranger shall sojourn with you and would keep the Passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised. Then he may come near and keep it; he shall be as a native of the land. But no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.
+<a id="49" name="49"></a>
+49. There shall be one law for the native and for the stranger who sojourns among you.” 
+<a id="50" name="50"></a>
+50. All the people of Israel did just as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron.

+<a id="6" name="6"></a>

+10. When Pharaoh drew near, the people of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them, and they feared greatly. And the people of Israel cried out to the LORD.
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>

+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. Is not this what we said to you in Egypt: ‘Leave us alone that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.”

+13. And Moses said to the people, “Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will work for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again.

+22. And the people of Israel went into the midst of the sea on dry ground, the waters being a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.

+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, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders? 
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. You stretched out your right hand; the earth swallowed them. 
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. “You have led in your steadfast love the people whom you have redeemed; you have guided them by your strength to your holy abode. 
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. The peoples have heard; they tremble; pangs have seized the inhabitants of Philistia. 
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. Now are the chiefs of Edom dismayed; trembling seizes the leaders of Moab; all the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away. 
+<a id="16" name="16"></a>
+16. Terror and dread fall upon them; because of the greatness of your arm, they are still as a stone, till your people, O LORD, pass by, till the people pass by whom you have purchased.

+17. You will bring them in and plant them on your own mountain, the place, O LORD, which you have made for your abode, the sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have established. 
+<a id="18" name="18"></a>
+18. The LORD will reign forever and ever.” 
+<a id="19" name="19"></a>
+19. For when the horses of Pharaoh with his chariots and his horsemen went into the sea, the LORD brought back the waters of the sea upon them, but the people of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst of the sea.
+<a id="20" name="20"></a>
+20. Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women went out after her with tambourines and dancing.
+<a id="21" name="21"></a>
+21. And Miriam sang to them: “Sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.” 
+<a id="22" name="22"></a>
+22. Then Moses made Israel set out from the Red Sea, and they went into the wilderness of Shur. They went three days in the wilderness and found no water.
+<a id="23" name="23"></a>
+23. When they came to Marah, they could not drink the water of Marah because it was bitter; therefore it was named Marah.
+<a id="24" name="24"></a>
+24. And the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?”
+<a id="25" name="25"></a>
+25. And he cried to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a log, and he threw it into the water, and the water became sweet. There the LORD made for them a statute and a rule, and there he tested them,
+<a id="26" name="26"></a>
+26. saying, “If you will diligently listen to the voice of the LORD your God, and do that which is right in his eyes, and give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you that I put on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, your healer.”

+1. They set out from Elim, and all the congregation of the people of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after they had departed from the land of Egypt.
+<a id="2" name="2"></a>
+2. And the whole congregation of the people of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness,
+<a id="3" name="3"></a>
+3. and the people of Israel said to them, “Would that we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the meat pots and ate bread to the full, for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.” 
+<a id="4" name="4"></a>
+4. Then the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I am about to rain bread from heaven for you, and the people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law or not.
+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. On the sixth day, when they prepare what they bring in, it will be twice as much as they gather daily.”
+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. So Moses and Aaron said to all the people of Israel, “At evening you shall know that it was the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt,
+<a id="7" name="7"></a>
+7. and in the morning you shall see the glory of the LORD, because he has heard your grumbling against the LORD. For what are we, that you grumble against us?”
+<a id="8" name="8"></a>
+8. And Moses said, “When the LORD gives you in the evening meat to eat and in the morning bread to the full, because the LORD has heard your grumbling that you grumble against him—what are we? Your grumbling is not against us but against the LORD.” 
+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. Then Moses said to Aaron, “Say to the whole congregation of the people of Israel, ‘Come near before the LORD, for he has heard your grumbling.’”
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. And as soon as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the people of Israel, they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. And the LORD said to Moses,
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. “I have heard the grumbling of the people of Israel. Say to them, ‘At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread. Then you shall know that I am the LORD your God.’” 
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. In the evening quail came up and covered the camp, and in the morning dew lay around the camp.
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. And when the dew had gone up, there was on the face of the wilderness a fine, flake-like thing, fine as frost on the ground.
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. When the people of Israel saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, “It is the bread that the LORD has given you to eat.
+<a id="16" name="16"></a>
+16. This is what the LORD has commanded: ‘Gather of it, each one of you, as much as he can eat. You shall each take an omer, according to the number of the persons that each of you has in his tent.’”
+<a id="17" name="17"></a>
+17. And the people of Israel did so. They gathered, some more, some less.
+<a id="18" name="18"></a>
+18. But when they measured it with an omer, whoever gathered much had nothing left over, and whoever gathered little had no lack. Each of them gathered as much as he could eat.
+<a id="19" name="19"></a>
+19. And Moses said to them, “Let no one leave any of it over till the morning.”
+<a id="20" name="20"></a>
+20. But they did not listen to Moses. Some left part of it till the morning, and it bred worms and stank. And Moses was angry with them.
+<a id="21" name="21"></a>
+21. Morning by morning they gathered it, each as much as he could eat; but when the sun grew hot, it melted. 
+<a id="22" name="22"></a>
+22. On the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers each. And when all the leaders of the congregation came and told Moses,
+<a id="23" name="23"></a>
+23. he said to them, “This is what the LORD has commanded: ‘Tomorrow is a day of solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD; bake what you will bake and boil what you will boil, and all that is left over lay aside to be kept till the morning.’”
+<a id="24" name="24"></a>
+24. So they laid it aside till the morning, as Moses commanded them, and it did not stink, and there were no worms in it.
+<a id="25" name="25"></a>
+25. Moses said, “Eat it today, for today is a Sabbath to the LORD; today you will not find it in the field.
+<a id="26" name="26"></a>
+26. Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, which is a Sabbath, there will be none.” 
+<a id="27" name="27"></a>
+27. On the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, but they found none.
+<a id="28" name="28"></a>
+28. And the LORD said to Moses, “How long will you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?
+<a id="29" name="29"></a>
+29. See! The LORD has given you the Sabbath; therefore on the sixth day he gives you bread for two days. Remain each of you in his place; let no one go out of his place on the seventh day.”
+<a id="30" name="30"></a>
+30. So the people rested on the seventh day. 
+<a id="31" name="31"></a>
+31. Now the house of Israel called its name manna. It was like coriander seed, white, and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.
+<a id="32" name="32"></a>
+32. Moses said, “This is what the LORD has commanded: ‘Let an omer of it be kept throughout your generations, so that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.’”
+<a id="33" name="33"></a>
+33. And Moses said to Aaron, “Take a jar, and put an omer of manna in it, and place it before the LORD to be kept throughout your generations.”
+<a id="34" name="34"></a>
+34. As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron placed it before the testimony to be kept.
+<a id="35" name="35"></a>
+35. The people of Israel ate the manna forty years, till they came to a habitable land. They ate the manna till they came to the border of the land of Canaan.
+<a id="36" name="36"></a>

+1. All the congregation of the people of Israel moved on from the wilderness of Sin by stages, according to the commandment of the LORD, and camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink.
+<a id="2" name="2"></a>
+2. Therefore the people quarreled with Moses and said, “Give us water to drink.” And Moses said to them, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the LORD?”
+<a id="3" name="3"></a>
+3. But the people thirsted there for water, and the people grumbled against Moses and said, “Why did you bring us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?”
+<a id="4" name="4"></a>
+4. So Moses cried to the LORD, “What shall I do with this people? They are almost ready to stone me.”
+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. And the LORD said to Moses, “Pass on before the people, taking with you some of the elders of Israel, and take in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile, and go.
+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb, and you shall strike the rock, and water shall come out of it, and the people will drink.” And Moses did so, in the sight of the elders of Israel.
+<a id="7" name="7"></a>
+7. And he called the name of the place Massah and Meribah, because of the quarreling of the people of Israel, and because they tested the LORD by saying, “Is the LORD among us or not?” 
+<a id="8" name="8"></a>
+8. Then Amalek came and fought with Israel at Rephidim.
+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. So Moses said to Joshua, “Choose for us men, and go out and fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.”
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. So Joshua did as Moses told him, and fought with Amalek, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. Whenever Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed, and whenever he lowered his hand, Amalek prevailed.
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. But Moses’ hands grew weary, so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it, while Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side. So his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. And Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the sword. 
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>

+1. Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses’ father-in-law, heard of all that God had done for Moses and for Israel his people, how the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt.
+<a id="2" name="2"></a>
+2. Now Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, had taken Zipporah, Moses’ wife, after he had sent her home,
+<a id="3" name="3"></a>
+3. along with her two sons. The name of the one was Gershom (for he said, “I have been a sojourner in a foreign land”),
+<a id="4" name="4"></a>
+4. and the name of the other, Eliezer (for he said, “The God of my father was my help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh”).
+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to Moses in the wilderness where he was encamped at the mountain of God.
+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. And when he sent word to Moses, “I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons with her,”

+7. Moses went out to meet his father-in-law and bowed down and kissed him. And they asked each other of their welfare and went into the tent.
+<a id="8" name="8"></a>
+8. Then Moses told his father-in-law all that the LORD had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, all the hardship that had come upon them in the way, and how the LORD had delivered them.
+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. And Jethro rejoiced for all the good that the LORD had done to Israel, in that he had delivered them out of the hand of the Egyptians. 
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. Jethro said, “Blessed be the LORD, who has delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of Pharaoh and has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.

+11. Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods, because in this affair they dealt arrogantly with the people.”

+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. The next day Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood around Moses from morning till evening.
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. When Moses’ father-in-law saw all that he was doing for the people, he said, “What is this that you are doing for the people? Why do you sit alone, and all the people stand around you from morning till evening?”
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. And Moses said to his father-in-law, “Because the people come to me to inquire of God;

+16. when they have a dispute, they come to me and I decide between one person and another, and I make them know the statutes of God and his laws.”
+<a id="17" name="17"></a>
+17. Moses’ father-in-law said to him, “What you are doing is not good.

+18. You and the people with you will certainly wear yourselves out, for the thing is too heavy for you. You are not able to do it alone.
+<a id="19" name="19"></a>
+19. Now obey my voice; I will give you advice, and God be with you! You shall represent the people before God and bring their cases to God,
+<a id="20" name="20"></a>
+20. and you shall warn them about the statutes and the laws, and make them know the way in which they must walk and what they must do.
+<a id="21" name="21"></a>
+21. Moreover, look for able men from all the people, men who fear God, who are trustworthy and hate a bribe, and place such men over the people as chiefs of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens.
+<a id="22" name="22"></a>
+22. And let them judge the people at all times. Every great matter they shall bring to you, but any small matter they shall decide themselves. So it will be easier for you, and they will bear the burden with you.

+23. If you do this, God will direct you, you will be able to endure, and all this people also will go to their place in peace.”

+1. On the third new moon after the people of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, on that day they came into the wilderness of Sinai.
+<a id="2" name="2"></a>
+2. They set out from Rephidim and came into the wilderness of Sinai, and they encamped in the wilderness. There Israel encamped before the mountain,
+<a id="3" name="3"></a>
+3. while Moses went up to God. The LORD called to him out of the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the people of Israel:
+<a id="4" name="4"></a>
+4. ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself.

+5. Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine;
+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+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 people of Israel.” 
+<a id="7" name="7"></a>
+7. So Moses came and called the elders of the people and set before them all these words that the LORD had commanded him.
+<a id="8" name="8"></a>
+8. All the people answered together and said, “All that the LORD has spoken we will do.” And Moses reported the words of the people to the LORD.
+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. And the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I am coming to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also believe you forever.” When Moses told the words of the people to the LORD,
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. the LORD said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. and be ready for the third day. For on the third day the LORD will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. And you shall set limits for the people all around, saying, ‘Take care not to go up into the mountain or touch the edge of it. Whoever touches the mountain shall be put to death.
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. No hand shall touch him, but he shall be stoned or shot; whether beast or man, he shall not live.’ When the trumpet sounds a long blast, they shall come up to the mountain.”
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. So Moses went down from the mountain to the people and consecrated the people; and they washed their garments.
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. And he said to the people, “Be ready for the third day; do not go near a woman.” 
+<a id="16" name="16"></a>
+16. On the morning of the third day there were thunders and lightnings and a thick cloud on the mountain and a very loud trumpet blast, so that all the people in the camp trembled.
+<a id="17" name="17"></a>
+17. Then Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God, and they took their stand at the foot of the mountain.

+<a id="3" name="3"></a>
+3. When she could hide him no longer, she took for him a basket made of bulrushes and daubed it with bitumen and pitch. She put the child in it and placed it among the reeds by the river bank.
+<a id="4" name="4"></a>
+4. And his sister stood at a distance to know what would be done to him.
+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. Now the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river, while her young women walked beside the river. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her servant woman, and she took it.
+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. When she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the baby was crying. She took pity on him and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.”
+<a id="7" name="7"></a>
+7. Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and call you a nurse from the Hebrew women to nurse the child for you?”
+<a id="8" name="8"></a>
+8. And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go.” So the girl went and called the child’s mother.
+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child away and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages.” So the woman took the child and nursed him.
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. When the child grew older, she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses, “Because,” she said, “I drew him out of the water.” 
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. One day, when Moses had grown up, he went out to his people and looked on their burdens, and he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his people.
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. He looked this way and that, and seeing no one, he struck down the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. When he went out the next day, behold, two Hebrews were struggling together. And he said to the man in the wrong, “Why do you strike your companion?”
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. He answered, “Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you mean to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid, and thought, “Surely the thing is known.”
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. When Pharaoh heard of it, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from Pharaoh and stayed in the land of Midian. And he sat down by a well. 
+<a id="16" name="16"></a>
+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.

+19. They said, “An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds and even drew water for us and watered the flock.”

+# Exodus 20 
+<a id="1" name="1"></a>
+1. And God spoke all these words, saying, 
+<a id="2" name="2"></a>
+2. “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 
+<a id="3" name="3"></a>
+3. “You shall have no other gods before me. 
+<a id="4" name="4"></a>
+4. “You shall not make for yourself a carved 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.
+<a id="5" name="5"></a>
+5. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me,
+<a id="6" name="6"></a>
+6. but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments. 
+<a id="7" name="7"></a>
+7. “You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain. 
+<a id="8" name="8"></a>
+8. “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
+<a id="9" name="9"></a>
+9. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work,
+<a id="10" name="10"></a>
+10. but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates.
+<a id="11" name="11"></a>
+11. For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. 
+<a id="12" name="12"></a>
+12. “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you. 
+<a id="13" name="13"></a>
+13. “You shall not murder. 
+<a id="14" name="14"></a>
+14. “You shall not commit adultery. 
+<a id="15" name="15"></a>
+15. “You shall not steal. 
+<a id="16" name="16"></a>
+16. “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. 
+<a id="17" name="17"></a>
+17. “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.” 
+<a id="18" name="18"></a>
+18. Now when all the people saw the thunder and the flashes of lightning and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking, the people were afraid and trembled, and they stood far off
+<a id="19" name="19"></a>
+19. and said to Moses, “You speak to us, and we will listen; but do not let God speak to us, lest we die.”
+<a id="20" name="20"></a>
+20. Moses said to the people, “Do not fear, for God has come to test you, that the fear of him may be before you, that you may not sin.”
+<a id="21" name="21"></a>
+21. The people stood far off, while Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was. 
+<a id="22" name="22"></a>
+22. And the LORD said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the people of Israel: ‘You have seen for yourselves that I have talked with you from heaven.
+<a id="23" name="23"></a>
+23. You shall not make gods of silver to be with me, nor shall you make for yourselves gods of gold.
+<a id="24" name="24"></a>
+24. An altar of earth you shall make for me and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your oxen. In every place where I cause my name to be remembered I will come to you and bless you.
+<a id="25" name="25"></a>
+25. If you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of hewn stones, for if you wield your tool on it you profane it.
+<a id="26" name="26"></a>
+26. And you shall not go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness be not exposed on it.’
